    I read this as him describing and attacking the different views rather than his endorsing it. Same as the pay for men and women who act.

    That's what I figured, but he might have worded it better, or maybe put it in quotes.

    I'm also remembering the early years of WF where every female poster was subjected to a certain... scrutiny... that had nothing to do with her posts. It's more subtle these days, but it's still ingrained in the language.

    I thought it fairly obvious but yes, definitely.

    As a mediocre 38 yo man married to a gorgeous 44 yo old typically female bodied person I am quite the fan. I think my spouse is looking the best now that they have in the 14 years we’ve been together.

    Not that looks are everything mind you. But I do enjoy looking. ;)

    Yeah, I'm pretty sure Async isn't some raging misogynist. :shrug:

    And I'm pretty sure he'd have the same reaction to a joke about droopy old man balls. :shrug:


    But of course, Jenee is a special sort of stupid and cranky when she's day drinking, so now we get this shitshow of a thread. :dayton:

    You're one of the people I was referring to in Post #43. :brood: Odd that she doesn't get upset about comments like this^, but you could learn a bit from Async about the difference between class and crass. :bailey:

    I've had Jenee on ignore for most of 2020, but she does snap at me when I respond to her nonsense, and every time we engage for more than a couple posts she directs all sorts of made up bullshit my way, like that I'm "the leftist version of a trumper," or that I'm "desperate for the approval of the right-wingers on the board."

    As for the rest of your post, you can call me "school in the summertime." :async:

    I think part of the problem is posting from a phone. Never mind that autocorrect is more of a hindrance than a help, but the small screen and the apparent inability to research a topic under discussion (I wouldn't know; I don't use my phone for posting) provides a narrow field of vision in more ways than one. :bergman:

    There's also the inability to admit making a mistake. I screwed up in the SARS thread yesterday, double-checked my information, and admitted I was wrong. Some people can do that, some can't... even on a message board. :mystery:

    This thread became 86% less funny when the mods edited the thread title.

    1. It spoke directly to the issue it hand.

    2. It was a riff on one of the longest threads in WF history, started by a beloved poster.

    3. You're all a bunch of anal-retentive, saggy-boobed, low-hanging ballsacks.

    How can you have the stomach to fuck @Uncle Albert and be so easily offended at a benign joke like that at the same time

    @Jenee, can you possibly see the difference between Posts #71 and #72 and Async's?

    Can you possibly understand the difference between funny and offensive?

    Here's the difference - it has to do with to whom/what is the target of the joke.

    You are the reason misogyny still exists. "Well, I put up with being insulted and refused jobs and education based on my gender. So, you should too!"

    I don't give a fuck about insults directed at me - especially not coming from any one on an internet message board.

    I've never lectured anyone for insulting someone else. FF says he wishes to be taken seriously, so I gave him some advice.

    I don't know why I'm explaining this to you, you'll do as you always do and make up whatever it is you think I would post and respond to that - rather than anything I've actually said.

    Completely.

    Precisely. "Women's boobs sag as they get older" is a general, broad-brush statement, the kind of thing that stand-up comedians, male and female, base their livelihood on.

    "Jenee's boobs hang down to her belly button" is offensive because it's targeting you specifically. If you want to be offended, see Post #71.

    Unless you've taken it upon yourself to speak for all women (to borrow something Sam Goldwyn claimed he never said: "include me out"), your outrage is misplaced.

    Here's an idea: Poll the women of WF and find out what the rest of us think. :bailey:

    Yes Nina Hartley pre-enlargement was great! Sadly Jill Kelly would be another example of ruining a good thing. Okay two good things technically!
    WHOA! Wouldn't it be trippy if a woman had one natural boob and one bigger fake one? :unsure:

    Yes, you aree right the joke towards women ageing and their breasts sagging has a mysogenistic tone that is hits directly on the sore spot of how women are perceived to become more ugly as they age. It is a huge problem witrh how society often ridecules older women and they have been spent their whole lives being judged on their youthful looks. These jokes become more offensive when made by men who have often spent large amounts of time judging women and oogling them on their looks, only to be disgusted when they age and are now considered offensive for a natural part of growing old.

    OTOH assy is elderly, and I believe him in that aspect. A lot of old people find that having humor in the problems of age helps them cope with their bodies who are betraying them. Yes, women's breasts sag, but you do have to remember his old shriveled dick is probably well beyond spitting out dust when he jerks off. It probably just looiks at him with the flesh sagging over it's one good eye, and wonders why he is tugging on the thing in another futile attempt to orgasm one last time before he kicks this mortal coil. His arthritic arm and hands probably have trouble with more than four jerks per minute, and if he ever did get above that his heart would explode like an old tire on the hot pavement.

    We all get old, and he is going to die soon. His associations with what is offensive were formed a long time ago when things were different. Changing them now to reflect the sins of his youtrh is an effort in futility. You should mention it because younger people should recognize how shiutty it is to rate a person based on their youthful beauty and then to ridecule them on the inevitable changes in age. It was always a problem with mysogeny to base a woman's worth on attractive standards that cannot be maintained, and when we look at the horrors women do to themselves to retain their youth it shows the dysfunctional effects of the sexist abuse we put on them all of their lives. But assy is not going to change, and hopefully younger people will wake up to the probl;ems of rating women on their looks over what they are to our society. The only end to it with old men is their demise.

    When people tell you to not take it so personally it is only because the world sucks and you cannot teach an old man to be a decent person. Just smack him for being an old asshole and I am sorry the world sucks and will never change, so when you are done with beating him up do not take his bullshit to heart. Oh, and garamet is a cunt who belittles her own so don't take her seriously. She thinks rapey joe is awesome because she wishes men payed attention to her again.

    So, @Tererun, did you take Async's remark personally? Try to be objective. Just the post, not the fact that you've trolled him in the past.
