A philosophical question, similar to the "tree falls in a forest" one.

[Evilshy 5,090]

If a man says something in a forest, and his wife isn't around to hear it, is he still wrong?

[Chill Mists (Chilly) 801]

Of course. That's how things work...

[Page.Turner 940]

I'm sorry but I'm pretty damn offended by this.

 

That is just really misogynistic.

Nope, but the dandylions would still gossip about it.

How is this misogynistic? I'm poking fun at the "husband is always wrong" joke.

[Mephala 2,633]

Of course! Women are always right! Men are stoopid! *badpokerface*

[Page.Turner 940]

Because it's implying a negative stereotype about how women ALWAYS have to be right and how it doesn't matter if you could throw a million facts in her face she HAS to be right. Because all women are apparently ignorant, mean, and can't do anything but make sandwiches, complain, and look pretty.

This thread appears to be a forum game, or something spammy of the sort. Thus, it has been sentenced to Cloudsdale Colosseum. This is an automatically generated message, by the way.

 

EDIT: What isn't automatically generated is my own offense at this.

I never implied any of that. And anyway, it's a joke, not to be taken seriously. I've told it to plenty of women, of various ages, married and single, and none of them have ever been offended. They all laugh and say things along the lines of "well of course he's wrong."

 

EDIT: Haha, I noticed at the bottom it said "4 people reading this". I hit F5, "12 people reading this".

He's poking fun at a joke. JOKE. As in it's not to be taken seriously.

A lot of jokes are not meant to be taken seriously, but I find in some cases they're just inappropriate. And unfortunately, the women you have spoken to don't represent every single woman in the world. I'm female myself, and I find these jokes cause more harm than they do good in the long run.

Yeah, I know. I can make jokes, too

 

How can you tell if a man is lying?

 

His lips are moving.

Does this not make you a hypocrite? Also, good one. I'll be sure to tell that one XD.

[Titan Rising 2,156]

How is it still wrong to many women does it take to hear a lightbulb in the middle of a forest does the light man the area does it see?

[Page.Turner 940]

Yes and no, because I'm trying to post derogatory jokes about men to even the playing field even though I absolutely loathe generalized stereotypes about anything.

I am aware of that. I was merely pointing out that, in my experience, most women don't get offended over little things like that.

I'm with skysong on this.

 

wat?

[SmileForever^.^ 128]

That is impossible my friend...for she hears all (Dun Dun DUNNN!)

Why care about stuff, when you could not care about stuff? Also, got any more jokes? Yours was pretty good.

[Staticthor Draconus 958]

.........if he says it in the forest and hes alone, he is right, end of story

 

any continued stuff like this could result in bad mojo in the future of this thread

 

besides, the question is from before the time of television, so why does it still matter anyway

[Page.Turner 940]

wat?

 

Well, my apologies for being in the 1% of women who do find these jokes to be inappropriate for this day and age.

 

And look at me holding fast to my opinion that it holds a chauvinistic attitude... hmmmm.

 

Why care about stuff, when you could not care about stuff? Also, got any more jokes? Yours was pretty good.

 

Because when you don't care about stuff, then you wind up with worse things than one offended person. You wind up with hate crimes, segregation, holocausts, the END of holocausts, and possibly genocide en masse because of prejudice and no one to tell anyone "no".

 

And the little things add up.

 

Oh, and no jokes... I just googled jokes about men

Just don't care about these things, not serious things, those are serious and should be taken seriously, just don't care about little things. If you didn't care you wouldn't be offended. Like, don't get mad at insults and whatnot . Edited June 7, 2012 by Chill Mists (Chilly)

........I HAVE THE SOLUTION, POST A DIFFERENT QUESTION, IT WILL SOLVE EVERYTHING!!!!!!

[Starstream 182]

If a man says something in a forest, and his wife isn't around to hear it, is he still wrong?

 

It depends, is his wife in the kitchen?

[Page.Turner 940]

Just don't care about these things, not serious things, those are serious and should be taken seriously, just don't care about little things. If you didn't care you wouldn't be offended.

 

What I'm trying to say is that it's the little things that MAKE the big things and it's jokes like these that oppressed women for YEARS until we had to fight for our rights and even now, we're still being oppressed with smaller wages (no matter what the job) and an inability to be taken seriously in many educational fields just because we're women.

 

The whole internet shabam about the joke telling women to get back in the kitchen? It's damn hurtful. I'm more than offended by these things, they hurt. It's like bullying to me, and I can't ever find that kind of a punch line funny and I don't understand women who can.

 

It doesn't even help that a woman's worst enemy is more likely to be another woman, so I will always take an opportunity to speak out about it. I hold true to my beliefs.

 

And trust me, if this had been a joke in the opposite direction, I would still be commenting like 'the idiot with the unpopular opinion'. I get just as angry when a friend of mine talks about how all men are nothing but idiot pigs who want nothing more than sex. It's not true.

 

It all depends on the person, NOT a generalization of a single sex/gender.

 

It depends, is his wife in the kitchen?

 

This is exactly what I'm talking about.

[Starswirl the Trixie 975]

The OP may be a bit sexist, but I think "misogynistic" is far too strong. He isn't demeaning the fundamental worth of women, he's just supporting one small, negative stereotype of women.

Of course, and trust me, where I'm from women are not made fun of, I believe that everyone is equal.
