Do you find this offensive?

Someone posted this in a group I am in, and I find it really offensive AIBU?!

@SoupDragon

I think, for me, it's because the implication is that male character clearly thinks he can have a good grope of the woman rather than the "nice pair of melons" thing.

I don’t see it like that at all. Just he’s some old perv.

It’s dated humour. Seaside postcard circa 1970 type

it absolutely objectifies women.

get a grip. It also makes men come across as completely brain dead. It's not flattering to anyone. It's a JOKE. We do not need to move away from anything.

I don't find it funny, but that's irrelevant. We need stupid jokes and the right to laugh about anything - just being mindful of the audience, not the content.

It’s childish, seaside humour - outdated now. Not clever in any way. But I wouldn’t say sexist; men like breasts. Men fancy women. It’s a bit “ooh, er” - no more than that.

No, not offended. It’s so naff and silly that it doesn’t really register as offence to me.

Get a grip!

It’s seaside humour

It’s insulting to both men and women. Days men are Pervy fools led by their penis and unable to control themselves and says women are either naggy unwanted wives or slutty tarts who want felt up by randoms.
No need for it from anyone these days surely.

I don’t see it like that at all. Just he’s some old perv

Yeah... the fact that he's depicted reaching out towards her whilst sweating profusely doesn't mean that he wants a good old feel at all.

Old fashioned seaside humour, which i didn't find especially funny back in the day. I did think we'd consigned this sort of thing to the bin

It’s lamer than an sad old donkey
What was the context?

It is offensive because it was the underpinning of so much sexism in its time. Women are still excessively sexualised overall.

I think it's crass 70s humour which is hopefully behind us now. If someone posted it seriously thinking it was a "joke" I'd roll my eyes at it. I was a student in the 80s and I had cat calls and comments all the time. It was a gross time to be a student in that respect. I would hope humour and comments like that are in the past.

Not offended here. I find stuff like that more creepy than anything, like when you go in to the seaside shops and some of the stuff is a bit weird.

It's pretty tame tbh.

If you're going to be offended by anything, try listening to Cardi B singing vile songs about her vagina....

Good grief. It just be exhausting putting full time hours into being professionally offended. It makes the man look like a sex pest. As though he can't help himself but think of boobs when he sees a large breasted lady. Is that sexist against men?
If you find this daft, ooh-er matron nonsense offensive then I judge you as harshly as I judge people with this sense of humour.

That's so last century! YANBU!!

I love it! Ha. You are too sensitive.

Maybe it hits a raw nerve with me particularly because I have large boobs and have had to put up with shit like this

Same here.

Maybe you need to have had these awful experiences to realise how offensive it is. I’m glad people have told him it’s offensive. He’s a twat and you now know to avoid him.

I'll try again!
It must be exhausting and he can't help himself think of boobs when he sees fruit!

Very Benny Hill and of a similar era. Not offensive but childish and mildly irritating. Did u find it in a museum?

Takes me back to growing up in the 70s, I think there were similar stupid cartoons about men too

IT doesnt offend me but I'd think the person who posted it was a knob and wonder if he'd slept through the last 40 years

I actually laughed at it.
I have huge boobs too OP and if I had a pound for every comment from both men and women, I would be a wealthy woman.
It really isn't anything to get offended about.

It’s the kind of sexist “seaside” humour that used to be a thing 50 years ago and most people don’t even find amusing now because it’s overtly objectifying and embarrassing. It just makes me roll my eyes but I can see if I had very big boobs I’d find it even more annoying.

Its women bodies as fodder for pervy men.

The fact that so few people find it offensive just shows how much people really don't care about that - and all the really awful stuff that this attitude is the logical step of and endorses.
