It’s punching down. You can make jokes like that and nobody is going to punish you for it but they will think you’re a jackass.

That's a convenient excuse to be an asshole to half the population while running interference for the other.

What's good for the goose is good for the gander

Makes sense I guess but it still feels unfair. Like people can make jokes about men who are suicidal and overdosing but you can't make jokes about women's stereotypes?

To me it should be one or the other

1- You can make whatever jokes about any protected class or minority

2- You can't ever make jokes at the expense of a protected class regardless of how privileged they are

No one is stopping you from doing either one. OHHHH you just don’t want the consequences. It’s Not about personal responsibility or choice. I see now.

I'm saying this about myself bro what the fuck are you talking about? I'm saying other people should follow one or the other.

No lie you sound like ChatGPT 0.1 trained on tumblr lmao.
