This joke needs to die for real!!! Hasn't been funny for a long time

Misogynistic, contradictory pieties of the time have never stood the scrutiny of reality. People are so, so much more than the genitals between their legs. The real prize is in you.

I’ve said it before (I think) but I’ll say it again - guys putting their height on their Insta. bios like it’s some sort of ultimate flex. What you doing, dawg? Like, are you not embarrassed?

People constantly talking about death.

…your body probably craved that MacDonalds so wouldn’t allow you to sleep until the craving was satisfied……

An ex calling you up for a booty call on Valentine's Day

It wouldn't be so bad if they didn't fancy themselves a demisexual who only becomes aroused by those whom they feel a strong emotional bond with. I mean yeah it's flattering, but I don't want to risk rekindling any sort of romantic interest on their part. No way in hell do I want to go through all that again.

An ex is an ex for a reason!!!

Tbf, some guys might joke about it to try and defuse an argument that might be getting tense.

…yep it’s a problem but let it know that you’re in charge, CeeCee and that you’re not going to let it into your life every day…

Exactly.

McDonald's should be a luxury treat, not consumed regularly.

I hope that you're doing well @Ithinkiloveyoutoo

You think that's going to diffuse the argument?

I would be fuming. Men can go around angry all the time but a woman must be hormonal for the privilege of feeling an emotion.

Not sure why anyone would think someone making a patronising comment like that in the middle of an argument is going to diffuse anything. But yeah you're right, people tend to ignore stuff men do but when a woman does the same thing its pointed out as a female trait, like being too emotional

That is DEFO not a way to diffuse the argument

Great idea, Mock. Take the argument to a level where it would need a UN Resolution to de-escalate.

Some guys are idiots.

Obviously there are douchebags out there that are probably saying stuff about "women being on their periods" because they've received a bruised ego from the individual woman.

But there are guys that will make certain jokes towards women, not realizing that they're making things worse.

I like to think that I can personally tell the difference between the two types of men.

I'm talking about the guy's intentions might not always be with malice in a scenario like the period stuff.

Because it's very easy on the Internet to see a video or hear a story that is really out of pocket, and just think the worst intentions of the individual that's made the bad comment.

Personally I always think the intention of someone's behaviour is really important.

For example to use what you and Ithinkiloveyoutoo were talking about, was the guy joking or was he "joking" but really just being a prick?

I personally agree with you and everyone that has replied to me on here.

But some guys do function in a way that I personally get shocked by, like some men will make jokes about being into criminal activity that I won't repeat on this thread.

So if some guys will make jokes about that stuff, then everything is on the table at that point unfortunately.
