I was unaware that London was the hub of sexist humour. Maybe it hasn't reached me in Kensington, yet.
I'm not offended in the slightest, I just can't stand the notion that it's OK to make a negative generalisation about females, knowing you would be banned in a second if you made the same generalisation about a particular race.
There's no overreaction here. Why do you get to joke about women being consigned to the kitchen or the washroom? How is that different from joking about black people being consigned to the back of the bus or separate toilets?
This is the thing people like you don't understand, and it's exactly why political correctness should be observed at all times. You're reinforcing negative stereotypes that no longer exist. It's about things being a fit subject for humour. The fact that something's a joke doesn't make it OK. I don't know anyone in my life who makes such crass, dated and unfunny generalisations. It makes me cringe.
Women should be doing the ironing! Brilliant! That's all they're good for, right guys LOL!
I see something like that, and I look at your English writing level, and then I think of my girlfriend with a degree in law and psychology, and her sister with a masters from Cambridge, and I don't get why you get to make a joke about them. Why do you? Just because you're male?
I want to post on this forum without the worry that someone may come on here and think I'm like you or any of the other "Gary's" and "Trev's" who think sexism is a fit subject for humour on a public board.
