It’s telling that your first reaction is to joke about the issue. Imagine someone talking about wage gaps and people making a joke about women.
I mean I always enjoy humor about dark subjects personally, doesn't matter the topic. Maybe that's just the autism working tho
if it was about wage gaps and the joke was about women people would call it mysogyny not "dark humor" so it's not unreasonable to take his comment as misandrist.
Bigotry is not eliminated by bigotry in the other direction.
Enabling their hypocracy? It isn't exactly unfair to call out this kind of joking when a cornerstone of men's issues is that they often aren't taken seriously when things like mental health issues arise. They're often dismissed with jokes or belittled.
In other words, the person who came in joking failed to read the room and got called out for it. Would you defend someone saying, even facetiously 'bet she's just saying that for attention ' in a rape support thread?
Sounds like you're working through some personal issues there, champ. Wanna air them out?
You really expect people to take your opinions to heart and maybe change their minds and agree with you, while speaking to them like this?
If you're here to just make yourself feel better, especially if you've been hurt, then by all means, continue. We don't mind the verbage pollution. /s
However, if you're here to express ideas and have conversation that may lead to understanding, you'll need to work on your temper/tone.
And if you just want to flame me for pointing this out, then continue on, Internet Warrior. Or don't, you're not making things any better here if you do.
No, not angry. Feeling sorry for you would be the correct emotion.
Trying to offer you some honest advice, but you're not in a state of mind to take it.
I wish you well.
Oh horseshit, you said you're cool with making bigoted jokes now that the shoe is on the other foot. Get fucked with the whole righteous indignation spiel.
It's interesting that criticism enrages you so much. Maybe take some time to touch grass and reflect.
I called you on bullshit, and you're fantasising about my imagined political ideology, my opinions concerning women, where I live (protip: EU citizens can't vote in US elections) and my marital status.
Who's projecting here?
you have poor reading skills
Oh great, and soon we will have the right to make bigoted jokes about women again when “eye for an eye” comes to fruition?
That's what they get for sacrificing their educations and careers to have children.
