Its a forum full of hairy palmed virgin teenage boys, of course yer gonna get sexist threads, they know no better.
Anyhow sexist /racist / ageist / fatist/ anorexiaist/ gingerist jokes are excusable. But the keyword here is Joke.
It needs to have an element of humour to be able to carry off the rampant prejudicial bigotry
But it IS sexist⌠Or do you actually believe that stereotype?
I suppose no bloke ever crashes a car, all blokes can accurately park equidistant between white lines, no bloke carries shit in his pocket or wallet where he keeps his cash card Etcetera etcetera etceteraâŚ
Any how, keep up, your just confirming your ignorance with every post, mate..
Iâm disappointed. I was hoping you were going to school me on why I apparently keep confirming my ignorance.
I presume you are male and are just sticking up for so called sexism rather than seeing it as the joke it was meant to be.
Are you saying that if some people donât find something funny then it will be classed as sexism, racism etc?
I presume you do given your commentâŚ
âit needs to have an element of humour to be able to carry off the rampant prejudicial bigotryâ
If thatâs the case, all joke telling will cease to exist, as there will always be somebody, somewhere, that wonât find a joke funny and will read into it something that was not meant to be inferred.
Why on earth Should I deign to lecture you on morality?
Iâd wager the constant defence of the stance you have posed in this thread is evidence enough of the entrenched conclusion you have drawn on the matter?
Why do you find it funny? Do you find it funny because you have never felt the same way, or is it because you feel the EXACT SAME WAY? Is humor rooted in pure fantasy, or does all humor contain elements as âtruthâ (here truth is used in a relative sense, a more accurate term would be "belief)? You find this funny because you relate to it. Its not a matter of whether or not its funny (its not, but thatâs another matter entirely) its a matter of whether or not it is based on a stereotype (it is, one that you clearly beleive in.) If it was a joke and NOT SERIOUS AT ALL (as you claim) then why is it based so blatantly on a stereotype of the typical ditzy woman?
âPull up to cash machine, whatâs the deal with airline food?â
In this day and age, many, many jokes are based around some form of stereotype.
Irish people are thick, Jews are stingy, blondes are dizzy etc,etc.
To find a joke funny does not mean you have to believe in that stereotype at all. Itâs a joke.
Seriously, there are very few jokes around these days that are not based on some form of stereotyping.
If it has got to the point where one canât discriminate between a joke and something that is genuinely meant to offend then it is a sad world we are living in.
My wife is sitting here laughing her head off at this thread now as she knows me.
Mind you, she is a blonde, so maybe she is so dizzy she doesnât understand whatâs going on!
Look mate, face it, if you find posting sexist jokes acceptable, you are by definition, Sexist.
What is so hard to understand?
I still stand by my statement that you cherry picked, above - it would appear i am taking offence at something that DOES concern me.. I, when i last looked at least, have a sexual gender, therefore sexist remarks that are designed to falsely stereotype one half of the sexual gender, i find those remarks offend me and my sensibility.
Itâs not finding offence on behalf of others, i find your remarks offensive to me.
And i certainly aint telling you to desist from said behaviour, remove the post or apologise, iâm merely pointing out that your remarks are sexist in nature.
Something i am not alone in noticing on this thread, but despite this, despite people pointing out your error, which MAY be an abberation for all we know, and totally against your nature - but for the purposes of this thread, it was still indeed sexist.
