    My assessment of your comment.

    1. If it makes you dislike the woman speaking. That seems fine.

    2. If it makes you dislike the woman listening. That seems fine, but I’d like to hear more context personally, such as her reply and the context of the conversation. For example, perhaps this was an out of context joke that didn’t land. It would also be important to know if the woman speaking had some sort of internet clout which could cause the listener to be afraid to disagree as it could harm her career and in the moment they’re attempting comedy, aka “yes and” technique. (Yes I apologize, lots of assumptions, its the nature of hypotheticals)

    3. If it makes you dislike all women including those not making these comments. That does not seem fine because that would be vast generalization at best and mysoginy at worst.

    The third situation has led mentally unstable people to murder women based on immutable attributes outside of their control, such as their perceived attractiveness.

    To quote your post :

    This post makes me dislike women

    That seems to fall into category three. Quite dangerous and potentially harmful to society.

    A better wording could be :

    This post makes me dislike that woman

    I think that comment is understandable to most.

    In this case, choosing the plural is an aggressive selection and causes you to seem bigoted.

      There’s a secret 4th option. The “I have a twisted sense of humor” and I was making a haha funny. I think it goes without saying that this lady is beyond disgusting.

        Ah, if the goal of a joke is to make people laugh, then your joke does not appear to be very popular. But perhaps you are making this joke just for yourself? Your motivations are unclear to me.

        Nonetheless, I appreciate your clarification and civil reply. I now better understand your perspective, but I do not share it.

          I only make jokes for myself. I understand it comes off as sociopathic but I make posts here the same way I would talk IRL. When I look back at my post history, I giggle because I find that I regularly say things I find odd
