Feminists and Body image jokes, am I a jerk?

[gotsmack]

ok, it actually makes sense in that context

but that is a VERY different context than what you said earlier



if you and your buddy were just ripping off a string of 'how i would make things worse' statements then eh, whatever

but to just randomly do it in a conversation about body image is weird

We were talking about body image and how her lez friends were telling her she was too skinny, we (my guy friend and I) were telling her they're just tring to make her worse so they would feel better about themselves, then we were talking about trannys on tinder and how my friend is scared if one tricks him. I joked to him about how it could be worse (what if he liked it) and he expanded on it. Then we went back to body image because my lez friend didn't like the jokes about trannys, even though my guy friend was the "victim" in these jokes. Then she brought up anorexia and I said what I posted.

Now that I wrote it up, I see that I just pushed her buttons on that topic, but I felt the momentum of the "jokes" and couldn't stop myself in the moment. I don't regret telling the jokes, but do regret telling them in front of her.

OP needs to leave the edgy comedy to Anthony Jeselnik.

Clearly, he sucks at it.

I love Jeselnik. I've seen him live a few times. Too bad his show got so out of control that CC pulled the plug.
