    It's difficult to take advice from a woman with 4 cats laying on her bed.

    congrats, you're the kind of guy women stay away from- a judgemental *kitten*-hat.

    He's not wrong.
    He's also not serious. Take it easy.

    why should I 'take it easy'? He insulted me, and I'm not allowed to be irritated or *gasp* say something back? That attitude leads right into rape culture.

    Man insults a women- he's not serious, take it easy.

    Man slaps a women's *kitten*- he's drunk, take it easy.

    Man groups a women on a bus- it's crowded, take it easy.

    Man rapes a women- WHY DIDN'T YOU SAY SOMETHING EARLIER??!!

    Man rapes a women- you were asking for it wearing that skirt exposing your knees, take it easy.

    But he was joking and not in a hateful sexist way. You get to know some of the online personalities in this forum and youll be able to see it was a harmless joke. @Motorsheen doesnt come at females or anyone in that manner...in chit chat we are all silly, sarcastic, crazy, and sometimes over the top.

    I think he did mean it as a joke. I've seen his humor on display here enough to agree.

    But, I also know that when I say it, I thought, "That's a bit harsh. Do you even know her?"

    Probably I should have said something at the time, but at the same time, "It's just a message board."

    Long story short (too late), you're both right, but it was a *kitten* joke. So sayeth the Humor Arbitrator.

    If so, that is not at all how I read it. Inflection does matter a lot, but I still wouldn't say that to someone I don't know! It came across as quite mean.

    "rape culture" has no presence in chit-chat and anyone bringing it would be destroyed.
    @Motorsheen was joking. If you read any of the other comments on this thread, most of them are ridiculous over the top, and hardly serious.
    If you were insulted by it, please know it was not meant in a harmful and insulting way.


    PS your cats are cute. <3

    I think its very sad that we have to tip toe around each other simply to meet and say we are interested or lets have coffee and equally quite frightening to see the responses on here...wow. I started at the gyms w signs on the doors 'no women allowed" so...how things are these days is just fine w me. walk w respect and you will get it. regardless of your gender.
