Thank you! What a reasonable take.

I don't post my dissent because I have no sense of humor or because I expect people to universally agree with my own sense of humor. I posted this because I hoped some people would think, "huh, maybe I shouldn't post jokes that further propagate the harms caused by patriarchy when there are plenty of other jokes I can make or ways I can phrase the same joke that aren't at the expense of those around me."

Maybe I want to live in a world where women are treated with the same respect as men. Part of making that change is not continuing to use language that is harmful towards them and calling out others for it when I see it.

TLDR: Do better OP. The bar is on the floor and you and everyone upvoting you still somehow missed it.
