Perhaps you noticed that some people weren’t happy with that? It was probably dumb of me to leave this open at all. **Cat Whisperer** , I’d suggest scrolling back through a couple of recent ATMB threads (the long ones, all closed) to familiarize yourself if you’re interested and have the time. No, there is no rule regarding jokes about women; there have been some discussions of how sexism is handled on the board. > [@Cat\_Whisperer](#): > > I am unaware of any new rule changes, but I have started to notice that people are getting warned for very strange things that I would not have thought were beyond the rules (latest two were in **Skald’s** thread about his skanky co-worker). There were no warnings issued in that thread. There were a couple of mod notes. I know, I know; but that’s a major distinction to some people. > [@BigT](#): > > Only by your odd definition of rules, where changes in enforcement of old rules don’t count. It would be disingenuous to act like nothing has changed. I was answering the question asked in the OP. When people ask loaded or biased questions or ask questions based on very flawed premises, I sometimes just say “no.” It’s my way of discouraging those kinds of questions. When I closed the other thread and said “the mods are going to discuss this and get back to you,” I meant it. That wasn’t a hint to open a new thread to fight the same fights again. Don’t open any more threads about this. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/we-have-new-rules-regarding-jokes-about-women/657341)._
