Is it possible, that society in Canada and society in the UK have different opinions on sexism in humour?

I'm not sure, Oli. If guys are alone they might make a sexual joke or whatever (not saying that's right) but seriously saying it around girls and people it offends that's just beyond appalling.

I got directed to this forum so I'm going to post.

I think its incredibly immature to post these types of jokes. maybe its because I'm not exactly a 'jokey' person but whatever. it's 100% IMMATURE. thats also including ginger jokes, irish/scouser/american/canadian jokes, etc.

I think its stupid and it is a little discriminative, but we all know that not everyone's going to stop. true, females do get our fair share of male jokes, but on this forum, not even close. the male population is far more than female here. if you get pleasure out of it, I think its ridiculous personally. Girls already have low self esteem and sometimes 'jokes' like these ones push us over the edge. I personally think that its just childish to post these things, and I'm not going to be the one to say 'HEY YOU, STOP BEING DISCRIMINATIVE' or whatever. but I think a lot of the females are pretty respectful (for the most part) towards the guys about this stuff on the forum and personally I think the guys should do the same. if you really want to do this stuff do it on msn or habbo or something.

I also think that just because you say it isnt meant to be taken seriously doesn't mean it wont be. I know that I've been 'joked' in the past and it was really offensive actually. plus if the mods are doing it, people are going to follow in their footsteps and thinks things like that are always okay. we live in a new era now, not the traditional man-works-woman-tends-to-the-house life. guys cook, women work, guys stay home sometimes, its not the same as the old lifestyle. so whats the point in even keeping it around? :S

just my opinion.

Well, i'm not sure if you don't know but a lot of women run away from Men, in Canada because of abuse. So its wrong, that MEN make these jokes, about women. Sorry to Say but you are being a bit rude and accepting these Gender Discriminations.

Well, I think it is well rude to be posting stereotypes and sexist jokes on the forum. because some people can take them very offensively , Because on that thread that David posted, I being a female think it is very uncalled for, saying ; Why is the forest doing in the kitchen. I understand that it is just a joke. But Some people might take it the wrong way. In Canada their are many Male Chefs. So I think it shouldn't be tolerated, but thats just my opinion.

That's exactly it - people only complain about them because they assume other people will be offended. Based on that comment I'm guessing you yourself are not offended so if we leave it for those who are, to say so, I think we'll find most people understand they are just jokes.

That's the best example because those jokes are always insulting to Irish people yet I've grown up constantly listening to Irish people laughing at them :).

u cud of worded that better

"Lindsey / Hazy is my friend im going to agree with her because she asked me to"

If you PROPERLY take alot of offence to these jokes you REALLY need to get a grip and grow up (not aimed at you in particular just using you as in girls)

Actually I didn't ask her, for your information. But Its wrong, because we are over populated. and this shouldn't be allowed, Girls already have a low self - esteem, don't make it worse. really, because now its just getting pathetic.

@Sergio, I am offended at this, that the boys are posting they think it should be allowed ! when it shouldn't be

A battery has a positive side.
