.....women being bashed ''black and blue''?

Just wondering what you all think.

I left the forums for a month and a big part of the reason was that when I read that joke, all I could think was how a woman that was being bashed or had a history of having been bashed must feel reading it.

I imagine physically abused women feel alone enough without being made the but of jokes.

But then that's me.
Maybe I ought to lighten up.
Maybe I got no sense of humour.
Maybe a good laugh is worth more than some invisible/dejected woman's feelings.
Hey! Maybe it's like virgins..... none of them on CS, so no harm done!!wine

Some men get their kicks by bashing women, some women get their kicks by bashing men. Have doubt? Read all the forums. There are some very sic people around this world..dunno

I may ad, very egotistical also..

What sort of joke was it?

Hey Breezee, I remember the "joke" you were referring to... it was in poor taste but some people seem to find it easier to deal with things by making jokes. As I said I feel it was in poor taste, but I don't let things like that affect me, everyone deals with things in their own way...

Missed you! hug

diogenes: Also, I would try to be sensitive to who I tell a joke to....but you can't please everyone all the time.
Thing is, Diogenes, you never can tell who's reading all this crap we post sometimes.

I don't remember the exact joke but it was posted on a thread called the most tasteless or crude jokes... so while again I found it in poor taste, it did fit the category and I know the poster didn't mean to be insensitive... I think he just got a bit carried away.

It' a joke.

Do people from West virginia get offended by redneck jokes?

Don't most people laugh at Polish jokes?

Aren't Blonde jokes funny?

At the end of the day, it's a joke.

Personally I couldn't care less who reads my posts. Or what they think of me..JMO

Hi Riya,
Haven't met yet but always nice to read your posts wave

Yeah, it is worrying and I often think it and get a lump in my throat at how posts like that must make people feel.

I wouldn't mind being a redneck, Polish or even Blonde as much as I would being BASHED, personally, Goose.

I don't think it's the same kind of thing.

I agree with you... I don't think it's ok, but rather poor taste...
