Reply #183: the British committed ethnic genocide on the Irish [View All]

[leftofthedial]

at least twice in modern history. I think my example is comparable.

the joke I started is about a man. Is it okay for women to make jokes about men? for Brits to make jokes about the Irish? For Germans to make jokes about the Polish? Is it okay for the Irish to make jokes about the Brits or the Polish about the Germans?

Remember, the only reason the saying you all are objecting to exists at all is that it is a twist on a saying that was originally coined by a famous woman before an audience of millions on national TV dozens of times, with all men as the target. Where is the outrage over that? There was none. It was a frigging joke.

A woman on this board responded to a male poster on this subject saying she would castrate him and force him to eat his own testicles after she cooked them. Where is the outrage? I would never tell a woman anything remotely like that no matter how much we disagreed.

Despite your desire to paint me in a light convenient to your argument, I am a feminist. I totally despise the slogans on the T-shirts. I totally defend your right to criticize those slogans. I wish more men could be more like most women in many ways. Exaggerated sensitivity to humor, colloquialisms and other benign, even if offensive, uses of language is not one of them.

why do you hate men so? Has some evil bastard harmed you somehow and turned you against us?
