Fuck it. I don’t think the OP was ‘bashing’.

I think he made a joke and a bunch of people whined about it because nasty jokes about women aren’t OK here but jokes about ‘lazy disgusting men’ are.

None of you will change my mind, so we might as well just drop it.

So you then admit that you’re trolling?

Isn’t the definition of a ‘troll’ someone who deliberately attempts to incite a reaction from others? How was I supposed to know that people would get so worked up about something like that? 😕
