- I only vaguely remember the original post on this, but just because something
- is funny to one person DOES NOT mean that it is universally inoffensive.
- I don't think anyone in thier right mind would question this in relation to
- racist jokes, etc. but in relation to women's rights and other issues, people
- still have a stupid double standard. Every situation HAS to be looked at in
- context, and if a person is bothered by something, be it powerorgasm or
- something else, it is not funny, it is oppression. People do give a shit. You
- should to.

- Tirade over.
