Actually all points in my last post were made by posters during the argument and not made up by me Pickled.
To explain:
Then usage of the words angry and fucking together- the central issue here, some feel it suggest sexual violence some don't.
The issue of men using violent sexual langauge vs women using it themselves.- some people find it worse if men make comments that could be taken as referring to sexual violence in a jokey way. Some don't, they think it's just the same.
The argument that it's only a joke and offense just means you have no sense of humour.- people repeatedly told Mrs C it was just a joke and therefore she shouldn't be offended. She was told her radio sketches must be crap due to her absence of humour, thereby denigrating her job and personality for finding this offensive and not just 'having a laugh'.
That some women can take male banter and some just can't.- I think Lequeen argued she enjoyed male banter and therefore enjoyed the joke. Suggestion being the problem is just MrsC just didn't get or enjoy male banter.
That some women have been raped more times than you and they've still got a sense of humour, so what's wrong with you.- I think it was Couthy who argued that she was raped at 4 yrs and she found it funny, Thereby suggesting (or actually stating, can't recall and am not checking. It's pretty obvious) that MrsCs background issues in sexual violence is irrelevant and she just didn't get the joke,and /or has no sense of humour.
Pcikled it is important to me you see Couthys post as you accused me of making up rape comments. I did not.
The idea that if you dislike someone elses point of view it's Ok to suggest they deserve, or want, their arse fucking.- arse licking is a commonly used term to suggest currying favour, very few people would really find that langauge offensive. To equate it with telling someone their thing is to get their arse fucked is utterly feeble. I'm suprised people are really trying to pursue this argument.
Oh, how I'd like to see that.- I'd like to see that (meaning some other feminists coming on here and debating these points) as I think all these points really need addressing properly and I have neither the time nor energy to do so on my own.
I think some really serious issues which could be seriously debated here have been glossed over with 'it's a joke' and ' that's sexist against men', followed by or including a lot of personal abuse.
If you think that makes me pathetic Pickled, so be it, I am pathetic to you, but I'm not sure why you feel that resorting to calling me names furthers your argument.
