Exactly my point Spygirl, I dont see a woman posting that she is writing a book about womens breasts. I certainly cant see a woman posting that she is going to write a "pop up book" about womens breasts. My point is that I guess women find it easier to join in jokes about themselves and will defend a mans right to joke.

It isnt my thing, I just posted my thoughts. Continue on ladies.

<My point is that I guess women find it easier to join in jokes about themselves and will defend a mans right to joke.>

Easier than what? Easier than standing up for something I find offensive? That would be a very inaccurate assumption and poorly placed generalization if one wants to suggest that about me. Anyone who knows me knows that I have zero problem standing up for anything I find offensive. This case should prove the point. :)

I was thinking the same thing too, Spy.

(and I was one who apologized to the guys)

Oh and I'm not shy about stating my opinion pro or con, either.

What it demonstrates to me is that women are accepting of jokes directed towards them but are quick to apologize for any percepted offense they may have made.

As a woman I had a problem with this thread and I find it fascinating as a sociological study how women are so quick to respond towards another womans taking offense to a comment. Not one woman said, I respect your opinion Maris. I may not agree. Instead, it is a massive defense of the joke.

I looked at that other thread which clearly defined itself as a women's thread not a general thread, and clearly defined itself as a women's thread discussing mens comments. Did I take offense to someone making a joke about the male not wanting to clean. No I didnt. That being said, I opened up a folder about womens breasts thinking it was a serious thread about research, as someone also was doing resarch and asked for assistance on another thread. Instead, I find a man writing what he considered, and aparently a lot of women did too, a lighthearted view about women's anatomy. Oh and he asked everyone to join in with their little quips.

It is fascinating.

For the record, I disagreed with the devolvement of the girls' thread into a sensitivity-fest and certainly did not apologize - same as I can view this thread as what it is - a joke. I didn't get sucked into that one, and I'm not getting sucked into this one. I can think of a million other things going on around me to take offense to than a chest or girls thread on this Board.

Maris, I find it truly fascinating that you would make sweeping generalizations about what the women in this thread believe in terms of accepting jokes instead of admitting to being offended.

I'll admit that I opened the thread and thought it was a serious topic as well. When I read through it and learned it was not, however, I was not upset that it didn't meet my own expectations. It isn't anyone else's job to fulfill my own expectations, nor is it anyone's fault when I am disappointed something isn't serious and is instead a lighthearted thread.

To me, the other thread was completely different. Generalizations were handed out like candy and I vehemently disagreed with the way they were administered. Another thread on this board today has sparked some of those same feelings (ironically, not this one at all), and I have avoided that thread as well.

Maris, I do respect your opinion, but I just disagree in this case. You are free to express that you are in opposition to the thread, but I take offense at your sweeping generalizations about the women posting in this thread...which also includes me :)

I must have missed the part where he asked everyone to join in with their little quips. I thought he was serious at first because I don't know him. PLUS, you didn't and won't find me apologizing the men about things said in that other thread. I will apologize to you though Maris. I'm sorry that you find it offensive that I don't find the topic offensive. Even though the thread was started by a male, I see it just like I would if I were in a bar having a drink with a bunch of friends, and joking about breasts. I don't find breasts offensive, I don't consider them a sensitive issue, as a matter of fact, I've shown mine to just about anyone that wants to see them. I'm used to people talking about them. I've had 5lbs removed from them and I'm darned proud of them. I joked about them when they were big, and now I can joke about them being small...and perky!!

I agree Spy.
As to this thread, I don't have to apologize because I didn't start it.. and I don't think Adven needs to do so, either.

Well, uhhhhhhhhhhhh, Twiggs, I certainly agree with the gravity of the situation here. There is a lot to ponder. I am truly offended that I just now found this thread.

Well, if you want to talk about pop-up books, I would think you would need to discuss a part of the male anatomy at its finest.

Adven, if you really feel that hands on is not working, I think it is because you are missing the part that the reaction should be a part of the research.

well sbw aint nothing going to pop-up if all he can do is just thinking about writing about em. And that is my final remark. lol.

I don't find this amusing at all either. My sister just had a breast removed and may need the other removed for cancer.

(Lon, I'm truly sorry about your sister and I hope she has a good outcome from this awful time in her life.)

Ladies and Gents, this thread has been a hoot-er!

Here's an email I received just today and I though this would be an appropriate place to share. Enjoy!

Aging Mildred was a 93 year old woman who was particularly despondent over the recent death of her husband Earl. She decided that she would just kill herself and join him in death.

Thinking that it would be best to get it over with quickly, she took out Earl's old Army pistol and made the decision to shoot herself in the heart since it was so badly broken in the first place.

Not wanting to miss the vital organ and become a vegetable and a burden to someone, she called her doctor's office to inquire as to just exactly where the heart would be. "On a woman," the doctor said, "the heart would be just below the left breast."

Later that night, Mildred was admitted to the hospital with a gunshot wound to her knee.
