To be fair, a woman who had been beaten by an abusive husband or whatever might not think a guy who likes dick jokes is such a monster in comparison.

- rmc 14y agoHighly unlikely. You're just saying things without doing any research. Have you ever read feminist blogs / writings? They'll often prefix text with a "trigger warning" (or TW) to alert readers if this text needs to talk about violence or sexism or racism etc. This is because some people might be "triggered" and have strong negative emotional reactions to some things. (cf. http://geekfeminism.wikia.com/wiki/Trigger_warning http://geekfeminism.wikia.com/wiki/Trigger_warning ) Given that, it's highly likely that making dick jokes and especially claiming "It's OK, I'm not as bad as the man who beat you!" to excuse said dick jokes, is a sure fire way to get your head kicked in in some places.
- jiggy2011 14y agoPeople will kick your head in because you made a dick joke once?
- rmc 14y agoContext! If you go to a battered women's shelter, make lots of demaning-to-women jokes, and then say it's OK because, "hey! at least you didn't beat them!", then yes, you might get some people really annoyed. I mean, it's like the start of Die Hard, with the "I hate N*s" sign in a black area. What do you think'll happen?! Imagine going into a gay bar and making jokes about gay people. What do you think'll happen?
- jiggy2011 14y agoThe guy made a fairly tame dick joke to his mate at a programming conference, it doesn't logically follow that he would walk into a woman's shelter and start making misogynistic remarks.
- rmc 14y agoI never said he would, and I doubt he would people aren't that stupid. But I didn't bring it up
