I feel like this is the world / feminism that we know now.

I understand this joke, and I do appreciate it. However, I feel that posting such things detract from the great dialog that takes place on this sub. I feel that such comics are, in the long run, detrimental and childish. As people striving for equality, poking fun at the 'other side' is decisive were we should be being inclusive.

I do not wish this sub to deteriorate into nothing but memes and rage comics where the only punchline is "women" or "feminist."

I wish that this would somehow wiggle its way into every major subreddit one way or another. For exposure.

This is why I hate SRS.

For all their self-righteous indignation and attempts to quell biggotry.

In essence they just the epitome of white knights(no gender bias) of whom can in no circumstance take a joke.

I feel like this is just society. Not just feminism You can't fucking say anything anymore without someone getting offended.

2012-12-04T07:36:23+00:00

Feminism doesn't run the world not even close, it's just another fucked up part of this world.

What is a "trigger warning"? Is it something said that could make a select group of people react in a violent way orr???

I don't understand how this sub can upvote this post and this post at the same time. Is that not somewhat hypocritical?

Phallic · 2012-12-04T12:30:21+00:00

Because /r/mensrights never gets fired up over something trivial, and never gets offended by something that shouldn't really be considered offensive.

Never ever. /r/mensrights is so rational and mature. Unlike all of those "feminists" out there in comics.

DPunch · 2012-12-04T01:37:59+00:00

Doesn't really belong in this sub. :(

You know, you really should be more sensitive. Check you previlige about the 'trigger' thing, because I sucked at trigonometry in school, and the abbreviation 'trig' really ignites that you know.

The prefered nomenclature is 'clicker', that's the new safeword.

Hey, any of you MRAs want to hear a hilarious joke about prison rape?

Reminds me of The Big Bang Theory one of the episodes where Sheldon's mother comes into town. Almost everything she says is considered un-PC to the kids, and they are constantly correcting her. She ends up wondering how they ever talk in California. I believe "political correctness" is doing more harm to our First Amendment rights than even the Government is.

The greater problem with people's reaction to jokes is that they think the jokes reinforce problematic views, when the point of the joke is to ridicule the absurdity of such views.

We are laughing at the problem, not with it.

Well, most of us. You can usually tell who isn't

XaoticOrder · 2012-12-04T18:43:29+00:00

Though humorous this has nothing to do with feminism. This is simply politically correct versus politically incorrect.

Grapeban · 2012-12-04T07:58:41+00:00

Because all jokes are hilarious right guys! I know this one, about a guy who got his penis cut off, oh man, it's soo funny.

Oh wait, except you all get outraged when someone laughs at stuff like that.

Weird, almost as if you were all massive hypocrites.

And - Hating on trigger warnings for no reason, you're not assholes at all, no way!

It's the internet world where high school girls can feel like moral crusaders for being so offensively sensitive on behalf of other people.

jmjjohn · 2012-12-04T20:05:28+00:00

I think people who are suggesting that this should not have been posted here should cool down. They should stop worrying if it is politically correct to post this here... (pun intended)

Some ideas are conveyed better with humor. I mean - this is a refreshing break in otherwise dry day of bitching about how men are being unfairly treated.

Sometimes we need to learn to laugh at others ... and sometimes at ourselves.

girl_giant · 2012-12-04T03:33:34+00:00

It's sad how people stereotype feminists as these massive buzzkills. Shoulda hung out with Kathy Acker.

Political correctness is the fall of comedy.
