So called jokes about rape!

I wouldn’t waste my time on someone who thinks rape jokes are funny and defends the scumbags who tell them. Pathetic.

Galaxy, thanks for mentioning Victoria Smith's piece about FB. The examples of his 'jokes' she gives are pretty nasty. Volver, did you read the whole piece or just the opening statements?

I can accept you didn’t know that Jings had died.
I struggle to believe it hadn’t occurred to you that at least one of the women posting on this thread had been subjected to sexual violence.
I suspect it’s more than one poster. I too am Spartacus

Ok lixy

"Be aware that I still think there are quite a lot of you who would make fun of someone who doesn't think the way that they do"

Sometimes when an individual very publically makes fun of people because of the way they look or the disabilities they have to get a cheap laugh then possibly they deserve it!

OK lixy ?

Callistemon,Terribull, OK poor choice of word - thought-provoking would have been better. Sorry.

Despite what people think, I do know when lines have been crossed. So talk of sexual violence suffered by a person posting on this thread and a former poster who has actually died, will prompt me to stop posting.

But be aware that I still think there are quite a lot of you who would rather make fun of someone who doesn't think the way they do and has an opinion you disapprove of.

Jings, crivvens, help ma boab.

Interesting stuff floating about around goings on at The Guardian in relation to women and the culture there. I wish that every time I wasnt surprised.

I am very rarely contentious.
Terribull is rarely contentious either, she asked a pertinent question.

I'm sorry, but we are not the contentious ones.

Would you rather I wasn't here?

No, of course not!

Your pernickitiness drives me to distraction on occasion but you, Terribull, Callistemon and others who make contentious posts do make me think and I'm grateful for that.

I just would prefer it if a thread just stopped rather than degenerate into huffiness.

I understand the freedom of speech issues but the issue of male violence to women isn’t something I find even slightly amusing. Why can’t these ‘comedians’ find humour in less dangerous areas

Isn't Jings a late and very well loved poster on GN? what else could that word refer to, no idea!

I hope this will be my last post of the evening on this thread, I have umpteen pieces of mind numbing trash to watch on Netflix and Prime that are beckoning.

Yes, Jings was Jinglbellsfrocks, a much missed poster.

Yep, unfortunately she is also deceased

I am a lover not a hater.

Having been a victim of sexual violence myself, just cannot find any humour in the subject whatsoever.

Each to their own …

As I have said I am against policing jokes but am very wary of him. If it's any help I feel a bit the same about Stewart Lee.

Just as well I'm not a goadyfucker then. Think of all the fun I'd miss if you weren't all here.

But do carry on and ignore me by making posts addressing me directly. That's sensible.

Jings.

Move over Meghan, they've found somebody new to hate.

?

Who are they?

Goadyfuckery again which is best ignored because the main aim of a goadyfucker (according to MN) is to get other posters banned.

Why should anyone hate him?
He seems to have hatred enough for women without us stooping to his level.

Would you rather I wasn't here?

Answering a question with a question.
That's a politician's answer.

Well yes.

You don’t think it’s funny……..

I know what you think.

Do you? My God, such prescience.

Frankie Boyle might have bought tickets to his own show.

Just a joke, volver. Don’t you think it’s funny ????

Which is worse. No don’t bother. I know what you think.
