Sexist Jokes and Comments

[Hobbit]

I saw Roy 'Chubby' Brown at a stag do in the late '70's.. The right audience and a few beers. I thought he was hilarious. Times have moved on. Not sure I'd go now.

The first one, no.

The second one? 'Yawn,' is 'Strictly' on yet?

You do realise that the concept of likes, that prey on a human need to want to be popular, is the driver behind most social media platforms.

Have a 'like' from me.

As it happens I don't like RCB, but that is neither here nor there. I still look at Bernard Manning on youtube, and he makes me laugh as much now as ever. Political correctness has not entered into my life, thank God !

 

[Mrs Wiggles]

You do appear to be on some sort of crusade to appear edgy and rebellious. Why? It's a golf forum, full of people you don't know. Why is it important for you to provoke a response? Genuine question. You appear to be a bit needy...

The thread was about sexist jokes, are you a bit needy ?

That's me told then 😂

 

[Bunkermagnet]

Possibly someone who used to be on the forum before and was banned and is now back trying to stir it up again?

Perhaps they should have chosen the nik "Cortina", at least that made it to 5 versions

As a white, lower middle class/upper working class, straight, able bodied Englishman, not many jokes are aimed at me. As such none of them offend me. Also, I don’t get offended on other people’s behalf.
But I do know, as should all other adults, when is the right or wrong time/audience.
A golf forum or clubhouse isn’t it. Save it for your what’s app group or old/close mates, who you know accept it.

Neither has any comedy made since 1972 by the sounds of it.

That's a shame.

PC is only a term but the ethos behind it, when it first came to the fore, what, 20-30 years ago filled a niche. The globalisation, immigration, vacationing etc meant that us little islanders travelled to countries we'd only seen on a map. In doing so we were exposed to new and, in some cases, very different cultures. If how we respected that was part of the political correctness, only a label, hey why not.

Fast forward a wee bit and you see, in some cases, ultra liberals using it to stigmatise some people who don't bend as far as they do. Extremists at either end of the spectrum don't do anyone any favours. But at the end of the day, thank goodness for the 'policing' genuine PC has given us. If you don't like the term, fine, but I bet you do conform in some areas. Call it common courtesy if it makes you feel better.

An eloquent post putting into context a much maligned term.

Strictly - now there's a joke.

 

[SwingsitlikeHogan]

Q- What do you say to a woman with two black eyes
A- You don't have to say anything, she's been told twice already

Q- Why aren't there any women on the moon
A- It doesn't need cleaning

I have some others, but they are quite sexist

Now I could be kind and read the first joke as actually being an anti-sexist joke - as the phrasing is somewhat ambiguous.

The person who is to tell the woman something has already told her it twice - and on each occasion he has received a punch for his troubles - hence his two black eyes. It's the teller who has two black eyes not the woman being told.

Otherwise I don't get it.

Whenever anyone at the club tries to engage with me and others to show some sexist video or tell such a joke - I show disinterest and disengage if I can, I don't really care who it is that's showing/telling. I just have no time for it and know that my actual friends at the club would not do it - so quite happy for the teller to be p***d off with me.

Thread isn't half as funny as I'd hoped it'd be!

If it's funny it's funny it's funny. A joke is a joke. I honestly don't have boundaries when it comes to jokes, because jokes aren't meant to be real life. I think some of you just take life to seriously !

I don't get the joke. And I don't laugh about women having two black eyes. Perhaps these sort of jokes are best kept on the Lincolnshire coast - somewhere that I have never visited but have less inclination now to do so as you are not exactly selling the locals to me...

I could say the same about Farnham

 

[Hobbit]

I could say the same about Farnham

Harsh!

Farnham is a lovely place to come away from

 

[Mrs Wiggles]

I used to have a shop in Farnham. Nice place, and very expensive.

 

[IanM]

My wife is from Farnham, (well Elstead) ... a bit near Aldershot to be honest!
