The whole sex thing is out of control. Yes there are some rampant idiots and there are horrible things that happened to victims. But then you have women, covered in makeup trying ot attract people constantly. Low cut shirts and high cut skirts, standing in men's locker rooms or talking about man sports. Then they wonder why someone ogles them? And 99% of women are wearing makeup. Meanwhile men wear long shirts and ties or jeans. For example, the morning news. You can see every outline of the women. Where is the line. Should we do like the Arabs and everyone cover up.
As for race, I am 3rd gen American- Mexican and German. Odd mix I know. My dad was military. I have seen and heard it all, I even give some of it myself because I don't see all comments as racist. More like culturist or preferred culture. I am 6'0 and look white to many. I have had tons of people talk to me on the phone for business and know my last name. When they walk in it's like, uh where is Robert. Or, I was expecting someone shorter or darker, yes I've heard all of those and some. For me the worst were from Mexicans. Too tall. Too white. Spanish not good enough. They have a word for it even. Pocho. Someone they think doesn't respect their own heritage and live by their rules. Lots of crazies and craziness out there.
Men are not wired the same as women.

There's nothing wrong with the fact that sexual jokes exist (and other kinds). The problem is bringing them out in inappropriate places or times. We are all sexual beings, and no one wants to put a stop to that.

Kind of remarkable that this thread hasn't been locked down yet.

one snowflake complains and all the fun stops? I still can't figure out what was so offensive? it must be pretty hard on today's men? Oh my god what's wrong with me? A beautiful girl walked around the corner and I thought about sex. I need counseling.

I was 10 in '72, so most girls had cooties or girl germs. 😁 My neighbor got a J.C. Penny minibike that year, so our Stingrays got a lot less use.
