      I guess, but talking shit to your siblings is just kinda what happens. Siblings have less of a filter with each other than any two people on the planet. That doesn’t mean they wouldn’t die for each other if it came down to it though.

        Some grow up without fearing words, but understanding the implications of the language they use and the effects it can have on others.

        But no, it’s definitely that people are “afraid” of the words, not that they try to be cognizant of their words and actions.

            Definitely not. Knee-jerk response. Do you not think about the impact of what you say to others?

                Doesn’t matter how many siblings I’ve had, how many kids I’ve raised, or how long I’ve worked in environments where people talk rough.

                Don’t be a debate pervert. Go learn about mutual respect.

                  I mean my older brother once used me as a human dartboard and left me with tiny holes in my stomach…another time he put bottle rockets in my shoes and tried to launch me away because he didn’t want me anymore.

                  I was like 3.

                  We’re adults now and I still love that asshole, so I’m just saying…siblings are a whole nother level. lol

        I bet you money I can make a joke that you will not enjoy/will upset you. Use your imagination. Your line for “too far” is not the universal standard, so don’t treat people like they’re wrong just because they don’t share your exact level of tolerance and exact same list of subjects available for humor.

          Thank you! What a reasonable take.

          I don’t post my dissent because I have no sense of humor or because I expect people to universally agree with my own sense of humor. I posted this because I hoped some people would think, “huh, maybe I shouldn’t post jokes that further propagate the harms caused by patriarchy when there are plenty of other jokes I can make or ways I can phrase the same joke that aren’t at the expense of those around me.”

          Maybe I want to live in a world where women are treated with the same respect as men. Part of making that change is not continuing to use language that is harmful towards them and calling out others for it when I see it.

          TLDR: Do better OP. The bar is on the floor and you and everyone upvoting you still somehow missed it.
