Thumbs down Foolishness Doesn't Earn Browny Points....

Women clearly aren't like that. Women clearly only want respect and kindness, and not expect behaviour like this by male idiotic dipsticks.
Men do soon learn, the tighter men pretend to hold their feeble grip on women, the easier they will slip from their fingers (and their lives). Frankly, I thought we had already past this typical sexiest rubbish!!

Show some respect for female readers here, please.

Oh come on, chill out. It's just a bit of humour. My wife is constantly receiving emails from a friend who works in an office, and the vast majority harp on about all men as being lazy, beer guzzlers, sport fanatics, hypochondriacs, self centered, womanisers, etc, etc, etc. I consider myself to be none of the above but I still can laugh at the humorous pidgeon holing (is that a word). Don't kid yourself, women participate in this "typical sexist rubbish" every bit as much as men.

Clearly the "male engineers" who pulled these together are more accurately described now as "lonely and single male engineers"...

Excellent I like it, and really hardly offensive, even my Alice had a good chuckle at it

My wife had the "hazardous materials" sheet on her wall at work! It's only a little bit of fun, relax! Women laugh at men's faults all the time and barely any of us even notice, or care

Oh dear, this is just harmless fun. Women say/do the same things about men (if you've never noticed or seen it, you must be blind!) It's not a matter of not respecting women or anything like that.

I sent them to my wife and she got a good laugh out of it.

Her reply was "You knew the job was dangerous when you took it on"

Cheers

Both the missus and I had a laugh...

But I also appreciate this can be considered offensive by some.

The success of humour in this area, though, depends on many factors. Both on the part of the 'joker' and the individual members of an audience.

I still think people should be more flexible. Why should humour that appeals to the masses be censored just to please a few?

Great Joke... Defending the @#$&ing Inexcusable

My own comment was not pretending to be provocative nor nasty, but just to make a valid point. All such views tend to promote stereotypes - and woman are never "hazardous material" nor is it true that "woman=problems." Despise me if you must, but such views are sexist and disrespectful, and perpetuated mostly by misogynists pigs.

Why is it that no female responder, since my comment, has placed their point of view here, eh?

No wonder many woman couldn't give a toss about astronomy!

As long as humour is only intended to make people laugh it doesnt matter what gender it relates to. I have had many a good laugh at humour relating to men.
