When will we stop making “jokes” about women being objects to be passed around? Perhaps 2022 will be the year we grow up. I am hopeful.

- dotancohen 5y agoPerhaps nobody is joking about women being objects to be passed around. Perhaps we're no longer restrained by conventional ideas of institutionalized marriage and religion.
- tsol 5y agoWhat? Respecting people's wives is a religious thing? Her point is valid, it is crass. Some people may like crass jokes, but I don't understand when some people refuse to admit they're crass
- dotancohen 5y agoYou are correct, it was crass. In moderation, a crass joke can sometimes be in taste. Whether this one was or not is in the eye of the beholder. My contention was with the accusation that I had suggested "women being objects to be passed around". It seems to me that the GP could not fathom that a woman might have sex - or reject sex - by virtue of her own free will.
