Women Jokes... Do U Find Funny? How do U Feel?

Women Jokes... Do U Find Funny? How do U Feel?

WILLIAM W. HEMMANS III · Monday, July 17th 2006 at 6:07PM · 670 views
I received this email and was wondering how do You folks take this? At 1st I thought it was funny and started to forward to people I know and then I thought about, who would I send it to? I mean I know some stong Sistah's and the saying is true, "There Ain't Nuthin Like A Woman's scorn." Even the Bible refers to a Woman that's upset, i.e. Proverbs 19:13 (How would You feel as pregnant wife, have You ever been here? Would it be a cold night for him?), 21:9, 21:19.
Anyway how do You feel about this, is it funny, One needs to have a sense of humor or is this offensive/insensitive, Is there a place and time for these type jokes, Only the Pro's need to tell these jokes, Not while She's pregnant?.
I'm intrigued.
I guess for me if this were 10 jokes about black men, it would depend on my mood and my funny/serious side.

I believe that I am too much of a lady to rebut each of those insensitive statements, if said directly to a pregnant woman. They are, nevertheless, humorous if said within an atmosphere of comedic comradeship.

BTW, I could think of a few “jokes” that would cause a few men to steer clear of me to avoid potential humiliation. But, I digress …

It could be seen as insensitive, but just as Jane said, if done 'within the right atmosphere' it could be ok. Sometimes we need to lighten up. A person could make themselves sick if they take everything serious all the time. I've had three babies and I guess it wouldn't offend me. Then again... Catch me at a vulnerable time and I might break down and cry. The thing is you never know how a person is feeling at the time. I'm one of those people who evaluates and re-evaluates what I'm going to say before I say it.
