For context, I'm a woman, and I honestly just don't find sexist jokes about us being sold as a commodity funny or acceptable. The fact that his girlfriend found it light hearted and funny doesn't suddenly make it an okay thing to say. Also, rather than him being "attacked", it's more about holding him accountable for saying a shitty thing. For the majority of women, we've experienced sexual harassment on some sort of level, whether it be verbal or physical, and it all boils down to the same idea that demeaning women is okay. I'm sorry, but jokes like this are totally inappropriate and only serve to normalise this way of treating/speaking about women.
But yeah, in regards to my original post; if I sound angry, it's because I am. I'm so sick and tired of people being okay with this sort of thing. It isn't okay.
So sincere question:Yup, like clockwork. Also because the woman in question was fine with it that makes it okay!
A man and a woman in a relationship aren't allowed to play jokes or pranks upon one another that others may find offensive?
That's what is being said right now. I said it was naive and lacked tact but he didn't do it to you, he didn't do it to a random woman, he did it to his partner of one year. To someone who you could reasonably assume he would know the type of humour she would find acceptable between them.
Again I have said numerous times how, when publicised and broadcast as an article, I can appreciate people find it distasteful, insensitive, dumb and more. However the actual occurrence was as a joke between two people in a relationship. To that extent I don't understand why your distaste governs what they can or can't do or say between one another, and how her finding it an acceptable (and funny) means of retaliation has no bearing on what should be allowed between them.
