@warlockmage: I find these "jokes" to be extremely offensive. It's with "small" things like these that racism, misogyny and bigotry in general perpetuate in our society. :S
normally id be the first to agree... however jokes often come from dark things in society which are just... dark.
the idea of comedy is too make us laugh and feel better about dark things. so getting upset like Revan has is insanely stupid and shows a lack of true understanding what comedy is.
I take it you don't know what a troll is. But I still don't condone those jokes
now if any of these people were truly truly serious with what they are saying then yes there would be a problem. i know most of these people and i can tell you they are not serious.
How exactly do you know? And regardless if someone discriminates against but they don't mean it is that okay?
it'd be the same as saying "whats the only thing a man is good for? opening pickle jars!" thats funny as hell and i laugh at it every time. if they are being serious then i have a legitimate problems.
But there's a real history of men oppressing women. There never has been vice versa. It's like comparing the N-Word to the word "Cracker" It's much different.
