To be offended

I am so upset and angry , I don't understand why men think they are some kind of gods , and especially my husband doesn't think what he is . He sent me this and I'm so upset about it, do you think he meant it as a joke and I've taken it to heart?

Are you disabled OP?

Either way that's an incredibly distasteful 'joke' and I couldn't have sex with anyone who found it funny.

Pfft, that meme doesn't even make sense. Husband is an arsehole for sending it to you on the grounds of offensiveness and logic.

Errors · 10/12/2024 11:25

I mean it’s definitely not funny

craigth162 · 10/12/2024 11:26

That's hideous

Choosing whether to be offended is definitely up to you. It wouldn’t offend me as I’m not disabled.
I’d think it was a shit ‘joke’ though and it would give me the ‘ick’.

gamerchick · 10/12/2024 11:28

Was it meant for you?
Its bad taste but it's upset you and he needs to be asked wtf was he thinking?

BMW6 · 10/12/2024 11:28

Well he's a really special kind of cunt isn't he.

Oh OP that's upsetting. Could he have intended it a different way? (I don't know what) does he have form for this kind of thing?

Do you always take such trivial things to heart? It’s definitely a joke. A very shit stupid one that doesn’t even make much sense but definitely a joke.

This is honestly the last thing I'd be offended by- I'd be more offended at his insinuation that disabled people are less than. And wouldn't give a toss whether a man like that thought I was a "good woman" or not.

Accbabymom1994 · 10/12/2024 11:31

I didn't answer him and I intend to not speak to him .

I’m always amazed at how many women have such a low bar when it comes to husbands and boyfriends. Baffling

We have a son with a learning disability and I just came from his meeting in the morning. He hasn't even asked how it went and I was already upset from the fact that he's not doing so well.

It’s fucking disgusting. I’m not disabled - yet. I have heart failure. Every day I’m closer. Repulsive fuck who published this thinking they were clever and funny.

So a really racist joke would be nothing to worry about because it's just a joke, nothing to see here? You'd be ok with your boyfriend sending you really really racist jokes?

Not at all and I wouldn’t accept it from my partner. Perhaps you’re projecting?

My point is that OP seems to genuinely think this is her partner telling her he doesn’t see her as a ‘good woman’. I think that’s taking this far too much to heart disproportionally. It DOES show he has a shit sense of humour and as I said earlier, would give me the ‘Ick’. Do you truly believe this shit attempt for a ‘joke’ is him saying OP isn’t good enough?

Nikitaspearlearring · 10/12/2024 11:34

It must be meant to be funny. I thought 'jokes' like that went out in about 1975, and they weren't funny even then. I'm so sorry. He probably doesn't see it as a dig at you personally. He probably just expects you to eye roll. "Men! Don't we love 'em?!" kind of thing.

Yup . And the person who decided to share it and then my husband who decided to send it to me

It's a joke. Is your son your husband's too?

I'm not disabled but it offends me. It's horrible. And the implication is that disabled people are second best.
I would question my friendship with anyone who shared that. Some things are just not funny.

adulthoodisajoke · 10/12/2024 11:35

im disabled and if dp sent me this id probably just laugh.

I dont want to be treated differently bc of my disability and having him understand it enough to find humour in it would be nice

but thats our relationship and our understanding.

if youre not disabled its a bit weird. and id assume he knows your humour well enough to think you'd find something funny, so even weirder.

Liv999 · 10/12/2024 11:36

To be honest I really think most men don't even think before they say/send stuff like that
