When did I tell you that you could not joke about anything? Your argument is faulty on its foundation.
You have not, and I was not trying to be offensive. I'm just trying to make a point that a man could be offended by your comment like my comments were offensive to women. I have spent years working with abuse victims of both genders in divorce recovery groups. If you, your mother, or your daughter had a husband smack them with a pipe, you may not joke about it so easily. For the record, I did not find your joke offensive and my comments were much worse. I just went overboard to prove my point. I apologize to any ladies I have offended here on FR. Peace.
