I think I "got" you because yesterday another site left me feeling just a wee bit triggered myself. It's supposed to be a humor page, and someone made a post that was blatantly sexist, trying to be funny. Several women, including myself, joked back in the same spirit, which led to the comment, "Wow, that sure brought out a lot of angry b!tches."

OK. So if a man makes a joke that insults women, it's humor, and we shouldn't be sensitive about it. But if a woman then turns that joke around and puts the egg on the man's face, all of a sudden it's not humor anymore, and she's an angry.... well, *that.* Whatever happened to "hey it's humor, don't take it so seriously"? Are we not allowed to joke back?

Double standards are a big pet peeve of mine.
