Oh lol. My fiancé tried to tell me about this and I didn't even want to hear it because he likes to bust my balls for being to "PC." Like, sorry I don't really tolerate sexist/racist/transphobic/homophobic/other shitty behavior?

Exactly. I'm wary of people who use that term now because that's almost always what they mean: they're annoyed or inconvenienced by my lack of approval for their racist, bigoted, etc. jokes. Boo fucking hoo.

I don't think - to be fair to Seinfeld - that this is how he meant it.

Like, from what I recall of the specific context, he's pretty upfront about not actually knowing what he's talking about.

Oh, god. Another guy like that. My dad is like that to my mom sometimes, but in a kind of mean way, deliberately prodding her by making jokes he knows makes her uncomfortable. For example, being assy about those kidnapped Nigerian girls, because he knows stuff about kids in danger gets to her. That way he can keep poking her with the joke, until she reacts, then when she expresses discomfort with it, he can lecture her about how people (AKA men like him) "aren't allowed" to makes jokes or talk about certain things. Except he obviously is, since he just did. But the implication is that she is on the side of the oppressors. It's her DUTY to laugh, and her silly feminine/maternal weakness is preventing her from doing her duty to assist him in he act of rebellion against "them." Because "they" totally care what some middle aged guy says to his wife in private. He's practically starting his own revolution! But my mom knows better that to disagree with anything he says too strongly. She has to agree to keep the peace, and she's already rocked the boat by not laughing when she was "supposed to" (except she wasn't ACTUALLY supposed to laugh, because the whole point was to make her uncomfortable and then rant and lecture at her FOR being uncomfortable and not laughing. So she's done exactly what he wants her to do, and will suffer the consequences for).

I''m guessing your fiance probably isn't the person sexist/racist/homophobic/transphobic behavior is ever aimed at). It doesn't affect him, so it's all a big joke, and if the butts of the jokes don't act laugh at it like it doesn't affect them either, they're oppressing him because he's entitled to their (and your) approval as their (and your) obvious superior

grrrr, that sort of behavior seriously annoys me. I hope you can support your mom.

(Anonymous) 2015-06-19 01:17 am (UTC)(link)
Jesus Christ you and you mom have my sympathies. My dad was like that too, he'd push and push and push and when wed all had enough we were being ~oversensitive babies~. Be strong, and I hope your mom can be strong too.

He sounds like a tiresome, jerkish, bore.

(Anonymous) 2015-06-19 08:43 am (UTC)(link)
no offense to your relationship but that kinda shit would make me reconsider my choices

(Anonymous) 2015-06-19 09:20 am (UTC)(link)
This makes me a little worried about your fiancé. He doesn't sound respectful to you.

I wish someone had told me that about my own fiancé, but I probably wouldn't have listened anyway. It's hard to see out onto the other side when you're in something.

(Anonymous) 2015-06-19 06:44 pm (UTC)(link)
Why on earth are you marrying him then?
