No comment is the only way to avoid one of the common pitfalls of dual-gender dialogue...

...are you saying you don't think it's funny?

No, no, no...
It sure is funny...
It's just... I assume that the reason why no men commented it immediately was because we Don't want to offend you girls... You know... We want to avoid conflicts...

Here's another - similar - only this time something for both women and men...

I had a councillor at camp who had shorts like that. I couldn't look him in... the eye.

Well, Mike, that's not the bikini line in that picture I'm afraid
These were hilarious, both Susan and Kim!

I think I saw that woman on a cruise I took a year or so ago...

sorgesu

Ray, you were on that cruise with me. What, or more properly, WHO, exactly are you alluding to?

( Grumble, grumble: Anal need to correct: TO WHOM, exactly are you alluding.

Ray Brown

Don't get your knickers all in a knot, Susan. I most certainly wasn't talking about YOU!It was just a joke.

However, this does illustrate why Frederick's comment about why men shouldn't weigh in on these matters is so pertinent.

I beleive that, in general, any joke that's at the expense of one group or another are land mines for others who are not members of that group to comment on. (...on which for others to comment...?) As a black man, I can tell you that it's certainly true of jokes black people tell about themselves. In my own experience, it's also particularly true of jokes that women tell about themselves or about men. But then, I've never been particularly wise about knowing when to keep my mouth shut...
