This isn't at all funny. Those of you who say it is are trying to cover up your sexism by claiming it's a joke and if we don't laugh then it just means we don't have a sense of humor. You want to pretend that you aren't being cruel and hurtful, but you are. You don't seem to take into account that, even when it is genuinely a joke, perpetuating these sexist attitudes simply encourages people to commit horrible crimes and abuse. Making it societally acceptable to joke about detracts from the seriousness of the issue in impressionable minds and is the same as condoning it. This is no more funny than saying the Jews got what was coming to them, or the blacks deserved to be enslaved. It just happens that, on this particular forum, this is a more acceptable form of prejudice. That people, some of whom probably masquerade as "nice people," are saying horrible things about women deserving to be beaten makes me really sad. It's attitudes like these that make men attack women. How would you like it if it were your mother or sister being attacked? It's easy to pretend, when you hear about a woman being beaten or raped in a dark alley, that you would never do that and aren't part of the problem, but you are.
tru tru
that wuz to # 57
No, but I do freely admit that I am an asshole. But I'm a happy asshole :D
It's people like you that **** with society and attempt to keep it in a bubble. You're just too narrow minded to see that there is a difference between actuality and a joke. If everyone was a douche bag like you society would be completely censored inorder to protect our fragile little minds. Get over your self.
Where did I argue for censorship? I have no problem with the FML, and I'm not saying it should be taken down. I am saying that I find it sad that people think it's okay to claim that women deserve to be beaten, even in jest. In point of fact, I have more of a problem with the hypocrisy of people who espouse these prejudices but, when called on it, pretend to be open-minded and egalitarian. At least people like #67 know that they're assholes...it's those of you who pretend that there is nothing wrong with these attitudes that disturb me. And for the record, I would argue that there is a huge difference between playing a game that is marketed as such, in which violence is not supposed to be real, and claiming that a group of people deserve to be attacked. One is fiction, one is (ostensibly) reality. I don't want to censor anyone. Keep making sexist comments. I'm just exercising my own right to say that it saddens me. Is that okay with you, or do you want to censor my comments?
um, yeah...actually you're wrong. I laugh at every kind of joke, racist, sexist, everything. that doesn't mean i approve of any of it. for example, i can laugh and make jokes about any nationality, but I am probably the greatest anti-nationalist in my whole country! be a little more open-minded! because you know, people like you really piss me off. And after all, you can't stop it. it's free speech, completely legal.
To 116-The keyword for me in your comment would be "occasionally." If one or two people said it, occasionally, that's one thing. For it to be as prevalent as it is is problematic. I'm a Jew, and when a person makes a Jew joke once or twice, it's funny. When fifty of them are made it becomes hurtful and upsetting. Also, again, not against free speech! But it concerns me when people don't think about the effects repeated opinions have. One black joke? Potentially funny. Too many of them? Promotes racism. Psychological studies show how stereotypes affect people...for example, a study done on the SATs had one group of students who were told before the test, "Black people don't do as well on this as white people" and a control group. The black people in the group who were reminded of the stereotype did significantly poorer than the black people in the control group. A similar study was done with women who were told that "women are not as good at math as men"...control group did much better. Even if something isn't true, repeated exposure to an idea can affect people on a subconscious level. And by they way...just because you can say something, by the way, doesn't mean you should.
A joke on the internet is not going to cause anyone to become or continue to be abusive. I myself have been wailed on by a female once. She got pissed when i yelled at her for taking my car when she does not have a license or insurance. She threw a punch at me, i caught it, and told her she needed to stop. Then, the dumb bitch decided she wanted to try some more. After the second punch, i had her spun around and out cold in a sleeper hold before anyone could say yankeedoodle, or well for the FML world, snickerdoodles.. lol. Lesson of story, everyone deserves it on occasion.
What you are talking about is self-defense. What this post and the comments are talking about is not.
You know what's *actually* offensive opalquean? Using very avoidable domestic abuse with systematic persecution and genocide in the same example.
Umm...what?? Domestic abuse is a very serious symptom of a larger societal problem. A discussion of the violence women face, at this point and over the course of history, is no less serious than a discussion of other types of persecution.
thank you. i was getting so pissed by all these comments. i used to think that women who were beaten by their boyfriends were stupid for not getting out. but when it actually happened to me and i did try to get away, he beat me until i couldn't move. so no, i really don't find these comments funny at all. now if you beat a girl because she is coming at you with a knife, that would be a good idea. but i didn't do anything wrong. oh and guess what, i cooked for him too. so yeah, not funny. i know it's fml, but still. try to have a little bit of a heart.
Ok well if people come on here and think they should go beat women after then they are stupid. I make and laugh at any kind of joke. I'm a female and laugh at women being beaten jokes. I really don't think people that are making the jokes are then going to go beat a woman. I mean really they are on fml posting comments like crazy. it is a JOKE. I agree with snick go get the people who play wow. that game ruins relationships.
in otherwords if y'all would like a disclaimer policy "we the people making racist, sexist, or all out offense jokes are only kidding and do not mean to offended anyone please do not take any offense if you are offended then we are not responible for your short sense of humor. please be advised we do not actually beat our wives or gfs or hate the other gender or race or find y'all inferior if you find anything offensive please leave the link. thanks you for your time have a nice day. YOU'VE BEEN WARNED. contents: PG-14 " there you go a disclaimer policy now no one can say they have not been warned

Hey mods, why did my comment get deleted? I checked all the other FMLs and I didn't post it on the wrong one. Just wondering, because it wasn't an irrelevant reply, in fact, it wasn't a reply at all, and it wasn't offensive in any manner.
İ sometimes think the same, i am on my iphone so it says submitted but takes time for it actually to be submitted... just an experience. you may possibly have the same problem? if not my bad xD
