I can take it. Just doesnt apply to me cuz I dont do anyone's laundry but mine
I like a man who can take care of himself and keep his own *kitten* clean. I'm not going to be anyone's mommy/maid0 -
....had to come check this after Zack posted about it in the other thread.
In my opinion neither pic is funny, nor do they add value to the group. Yes, I'll laugh at stupid shit all day long, but when it comes to degrading another sex it doesn't tickle my funny bone... Maybe it's the mom side of me coming out (I hear enough bickering amongst my two about why boys or girls are better; correcting their name calling; etc). Maybe it's because while reading the OP I think about my 4 younger brothers. Or, maybe it's because I just hate name calling...whatever, obviously it's funny to someone. Just not me.0 -

The point of the post was to address hypocrisy.
I am not offended by the first post, my reply was merely sarcastic as I do not feel that way.
Again, I am waiting for these self righteous zealots to come crucify the OP!

Knowing you, I knew exactly what your intent was.
But, I'm wondering why every post you've put up lately is filled with anger....

Zach, If you find this post sexist, rude, etc. then why not say it yourself or hit the "report post" button instead of being bitter that no one else was upset? Or if you're having problems with specific people or comments, then perhaps it's time to PM one of the mods (we do have several of them!)?
For the record, I saw this post earlier this morning, rolled my eyes at it and went to the next thread. It wasn't funny, but I didn't find it disrespectful either.0 -

Correct, you rolled your eyes and moved on.
Did you log in to lecture the OP? No. Then why do the female zealots here in Singles do this to me?
This is my ultimate argument.0 -
Where is Cas and Christine right now!
OP cannot just be left without a proper lecture on her being mean ladies!
Come on in and let her have it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!0 -
In the interests of fairness, I am staying at work an extra minute or two to comment. It would be hypocritical of me to criticise the misogyny and disrespect shown by Seth McFarlane at the recent Oscars, and not to object to this. Many have said of the former "Oh, but it's funny. Can't you (collectively) take a joke?", and I have vociferously argued elsewhere that the objectification and degradation of women to little more than sex objects for the viewing pleasure of some male viewers is no joking matter, and belies a societal, systemic misogyny that must be challenged.
While I understand the intent of this and similar memes, and I don't believe it to be as malicious or systemic, intentionally or otherwise, as the Oscar debacle (not least because it does not use sexual characteristics, or ingrained stereotypes as a source of laughs), the fact is that we help no-one when we turn a blind eye in the name of 'humour' to anything which denigrates one gender, or excuses one at the expense of the other. Yes, I get that it's 'funny', and yes, there has always been, and probably will always be, a "merry war betwixt" the genders, but things like this paint with too broad a brush. If we women do not wish to be used as sources of amusement, we must think more carefully before we do the same to men.
Clearly, this has upset/offended certain men on this board. I'm not one for the thought police - I'd be the first in jail, I should think - but I wonder whether women in general have considered that the humour we object to may be just as objectionable in reverse, and what our continued use of it says about the chances for real equality in the future.
Edited to amend a rather absurd MFP auto-edit - apparently my synonym for 'laughs', or at least the middle-syllable, was deemed 'offensive'.0 -

We need more character assumptions, go ahead assume she is an evil person! Besides that wasn't as mean as it could be? You didn't call her vile?
Cmon you are the worst self righteous zealot I have seen in a while!0 -
I have to go now. I've already delayed to see for myself and comment on the thing you found so offensive. Happy to continue tomorrow, should you wish.0
-
WOW. did not think this thread would go in this direction.
I was having a bad day yesterday and this made me laugh. I didn't mean any harm by it.
I thought MFP was a place for people to be supportive of each other and help motivate each other. I am really disappointed by how far this thread has gone and the comments of some people, why the need to lash out on others.0 -
had to post :laugh:

LOL i'm really not evil. You would be surprised. I just thought the concept of "women are crazy because of men" was funny.
I shall never utter a bad word about the opposite sex again. :flowerforyou:0 -
Sweet nibblets! This thread needs kitten pictures to cope with the butthurt.
Do not worry guys I got this.

I just watched a Louis CK thing last night. My sense of sexism, racism and moral outrage is likely to be skewed for a bit. I am too busy still laughing and feeling seriously morally uncomfortable for having a little crush on him now.0

FWIW, I thought your response was perfect to this......however.... I'll take it to PM.0 -

This thread is one big satire. No one here is really offended, or should be offended.
I used this thread as an example where I was being crucified for being mean in another thread.
Now, back to demonizing OP!
*thinks of a ridiculous character assumption*
I can ONLY imagine you have some serious daddy issues OP to post something as hateful as that pic towards men!0 -
Thinking something is funny is not the same as "turning a blind eye" to the unintended consequences that may result. I refuse to be held responsible for knowing what everyone in the world will or won't find offensive and then calibrating my words accordingly.
A joke with sexist undertones is not the same thing as actual sexism. It just isn't. I am not offended AT ALL by the "women should get back in the kitchen" or "women can't drive" memes. In fact, I have an entire photo album on my Facebook page full of stuff like that. I think it's hilarious. I do not think it serves to denigrate women because I am secure in my womanhood. I would rather let the man drive, and I'd rather be the one to make dinner. I'm good at it.
Sorry, I just can't find any faux outrage on this one.0 -
@Jenbit
Below is a text version of the picture.
What you need to know about men and women:
Women are crazy, Men are Stupid. But the
main reason women are crazy is because men are stupid
Edited out ascii art of 2 people because mfp formating sucks.0 -
