That's blatant, discriminatory sexism and you don't even realise it. You should treat people according to who they are, not what sex they are. Some females like naughty joke while others don't, just like males. I dislike crude humour, I fail to see why it's funny. I also dislike all the things that you mentioned above in the "Don't" section. Does that make me female?

Ok so what you are saying is that If im at my job and tell a random female about my first time with a chick or some dirty joke then I shouldn't get fired because i'm just treating everyone fairly............you have to understand that you can't just treat random girls like they are your best friend. If some random guys in my game crack a sex joke I might find it funny. If my male co-worked crack a sex joke then I might find it funny, but if I tell the same joke to a chick do you really expect the girl to receive the joke the same way.

[quote]you have to understand that you can't just treat random girls like they are your best friend.[/quote] Why would I ever do that? [quote]If some random guys in my game crack a sex joke I might find it funny.[/quote] So it wouldn't be funny if a female said it? [quote]If my male co-worked crack a sex joke then I might find it funny,[/quote] But not if a female coworker said it? [quote]but if I tell the same joke to a chick do you really expect the girl to receive the joke the same way.[/quote] I expect some female to find it funny as I do with males. I, a male, wouldn't find it funny since it's not my humour. I know some females who's humour that is. You need to stop generalising and realise that both sexes are diverse; each individual has their own tastes. Not all males like sex jokes and not all females hate them. I'm telling you to treat everyone the same (as a general person, not sex jokes and such) until you get to know them. I don't know if you've heard about this thing called feminism/equality/individuality, but that's what this is. Treat everyone as equals, but not the same. Use your discretion. Be mature, if possible, and try to think about other people's points of view.

This is great stuff. There's a reason behind all of it too.

[quote]You should be fired for telling any stranger that, regardless of their sex.[/quote] This is what we do on multiplayer games everyday and it's considered to be fine. Why is the situation any different. [quote]Why would I ever do that?[/quote] You just said that we need to treat everyone the same. So you're saying that I should treat random people the same as our closes friends when we are on the internet. [quote]But not if a female coworker said it?[/quote] In what situation does the female co-worker crack sex joke. That's like saying a guy is going purse shopping. It doesn't happen often and you should understand that. [quote] I expect some female to find it funny as I do with males. I, a male, wouldn't find it funny since it's not my humour. I know some females who's humour that is.[/quote] Some as in not the majority, as in the group that I am aiming for. I don't care about the people who don't fall under the majority because they clearly don't fall into this category and would not even bother to comment.

" Not all males like sex jokes and not all females hate them." I hate to burst that little bubble that you live in but most guys that play online multiplayer game jokes and most girls don't want to here those jokes. There has to be some kind of middle ground reached, but you are saying "-blam!- the middle ground all let me treat everyone the same because that's what they thought me in school today." In some situations you have to understand that the "treat everyone the same rule" does not apply and should not be applied. You treat everyone the way you want to be treated. You don't treat everyone the same because treating everyone the same is retarded.

Wait...am I being trolled? Wow, you're really good at that.
-
No Im being quiet serious
-
He's serious. That's his major problem.
-
LMFAO this guy can't be this dumb.
-
This coming from the dumbass itself
-
But...that's...why would he...just...no. He's wrong and doesn't get why yet. I think his 'heart' is in the right place though.
-
No you're wrong here. You don't treat everyone the same. That's just retarded.
-
That's called discrimination.
-
yes because everyone wants to be treated the same right
-
You've missed the entire point of my argument, I really don't see the point in reiterating it since you aren't getting it.
-
I'm getting it, but you're logic is wrong here.
-
Why don't you try and state your point simply and then I'll do the same.
-
You treat everyone the way you want to be treated. You don't act like an asshole
-
I want to be treated differently than you. If you treat me the same as you would like to be treated, I wouldn't like it. I want to be treated with bad jokes, puns and dirty references. According to your logic, I should treat everyone the same, making me throw bad puns, jokes and sexual references.
-
The hell wrong with you
-
What would be wrong with me? Just because I want to be treated differently than you there is something wrong with me?
-
The way that you wont to be treated is not a way that people would want to treat other people.
-
May I ask you an honest question? Are you autistic? You don't seem to uderstand other's very well. You seem to be in the delusion that everyone is the same as you and that everyone wants to be treated the same. Let me bust that for you. It's not the case. I am a very happy, spontaneous person. I like humour and I tend to have a good sense of that as well. I can feel other's emotions and how they want to be treated. How [u][b]I[/b][/u] want to be treated is different from how [b][u]you[/u][/b] want to be treated. That counts for [u][b]every single person in this world.[/b][/u]

Im delusional for following a guideline that is spread across the world. How about this, if you like being treated like an asshole then I WONT treat you like an asshole. I will be as respectful as possible, because that's what's right.
