Stop bashing men, please

[lady_jezebel]

We see posts that discuss the problems men face with garnering respect in nursing, and then we occassionally see posts that bash men in general. Men use the allnurses.com board, too. People come here not just for friendly chat, but also because it's a professional resource & offers support.

How would you feel if someone posted jokes or stereotypes that bashed women? It may be seen as humorous to a few or even many, but that doesn't make it appropriate or compassionate. I don't think the argument that nurses are "mostly women" makes it correct. These kinds of jokes hurt people.

And I didn't mean to stir controversy or make anyone feel bad -- I just think we need to realize that we have a greater impact on other people than we realize, even though we're all anonymous & the board has a huge social component.

I know every redhead joke there is. Ive been married to one for 30 years. Im just not brave enough to repeat them or she will hurt me. Everytime she gets mad at me, she buys Jewelry. Im not talking walmart or service merchandise, she buys the good stuff.

rofl a woman after my own heart, Tom. I knew I liked you for some reason....now I know. It's cause you were smart enough to marry a redhead! :rotfl:

I agree, and I thought about changing it but didn't know what to put, so I left as I found it. I'm hoping they mean "mentally handicapped".

I'm mentally handicapped.

personally, i see humour.. a lot of humour in our human state of affairs.

and i make it a point to look for the humour. we have become way too pc, imho. it's always refreshing and eye opening to take a close look at ourselves and to be able to laugh at ourselves. i'm the first to poke fun and laugh at myself..

i agree.. we need to chill .. and enjoy life and human nature with all it's funny little quirks. :)
