Is it wrong to make sensitive jokes?
this whole situation arose from a discussion in my english class.
-------
when i'm alone w/ my CLOSE friends, friends i've known, we make very crude, what others might consider offensive jokes. this ranges from racist to sexist to gay to sexual humor.
we make all kinds of jokes like this.
but none of us are offended. we pick on each other (each other's race etc...) and there is no problem. we're all cool w/ the stuff.
------------
now, we watch a movie in a class and some women (in their 40's or so) think that it's wrong to do that. i stood up for the guys in the movie putting women down (all jokingly).
these women in my class thinks it's wrong to do that, but i think it's a joke and it wasnt intended for non-familiar people to hear.
anyway, i know that most guys make these kinds of jokes w/ friends, but is it wrong?
