There’s a time and a place for humor, however, not everyone gets this. Not everything has to be a cutting joke or an edgy stand-up routine. Not every comment has to have a quirky response. And you have to be emotionally intelligent enough to understand your audience and where its boundaries lie.

Case in point, one anonymous internet user sparked a lot of anger online after asking the AITA online community to evaluate a comment he made. He made a very inappropriate joke about c-sections and got called out for it not just by his partner but also by people online. Scroll down for the full story and read everyone’s reactions.

    Some people lack empathy and end up making very inappropriate jokes

    One internet user got slammed on the internet for the comments he made while dining out with his partner

    Empathy and emotional intelligence are vital in social settings

    Many of us know that being empathetic is a good way to go through life. But empathy can have a lot of practical benefits, too. For one, it helps you connect and bond with other people, which is good for surviving and thriving in society.

    ADVERTISEMENT

    Beyond that, that feeling of connection you get through empathy lowers stress and is good for your overall well-being.

    Furthermore, empathy makes us more capable of handling tough life situations, which makes us more resilient to burnout. Meanwhile, our relationship with empathy also indicates what values we hold dear in life. It’s our moral compass so to speak.

    Different people have different tastes in comedy. While some are fans of puns, others are more drawn to dark humor and edgy comments.

    But like with a lot of things in life, there really is a time and a place for jokes. And the jokes actually have to be good, not just random hurtful comments meant to shock the audience.

    If timed right, a good joke can strengthen the relationship between you and your audience. It can ease tension and improve your bond. However, if you miss the mark with the content and the timing, you can endanger whatever relationship you’ve already built up.

    To put it bluntly, the author made a huge mistake by joking about c-sections when his partner was clearly worried about her friend. The right thing to do was to be supportive.

    However, the guy in the story opted for a sexist comment and then stormed out of the restaurant when he got called out for his behavior. That’s not the behavior of a mature adult. There’s a lot of room for emotional growth here.

    A big part of maturity is owning up to one’s mistakes instead of throwing a tantrum

    One of the first steps toward making any progress in terms of emotional intelligence is slowing down, thinking, and learning to put yourself in other people’s shoes before making any comments.

    Another step is being humble enough to admit when you’ve made a mistake. A huge sign of maturity is taking responsibility for one’s actions. It means owning up to your blunders and sincerely apologizing for how you’ve affected the people around you.

    Everyone makes mistakes. But it’s how we react to them (recognizing them versus getting defensive) that sets the emotionally mature apart from the immature.

    Whether or not a joke will land depends a lot on the comedian, the joke itself, how it’s told, as well as the audience. When it comes to humor, there shouldn’t be any topics that are off the table per se, but you really do need to be aware of the context.

    ADVERTISEMENT

    Good comedy is about finding the balance between sensitivity and pushing against boundaries just enough to get a laugh. If your audience finds your comments distasteful, it won’t be laughing.

    You should not be making quips and weird comments in the aftermath of something painful or shocking. Everyone you know has at least some things that they’re very sensitive about. If you know the person well, you shouldn’t press their buttons like this just to get a reaction out of them.

    How would you have handled the entire situation with the author, dear Pandas? What do you think the best response is to sexist jokes? What do you think can help people be more self-aware of how their comments affect others? Let us know what you think in the comments.

    Most readers were shocked by the author’s immaturity. They called him out for his behavior

    Everyone saying ESH for her not "letting it go" is saying "women should not have boundries about misogynistic jokes, gaslighting, or abuse, in case that makes abusive misogynists uncomfortable." She was the one who had good reason to walk out of the restaurant, after she called him out on a misogynistic joke, and he failed to check himself, recognise he had been inappropriate, and appologise. The "Jeeze, can't you just let it go already." when you're called out is not okay. This is a serious issue - you've just demonstrated misogyny, callousness, lack of empathy, and an inability to confront and address your own mistakes. Get out of your echo chamber, apologise for walking out, and ask your STB ex GF to share what she was thinking and feeling during that arguement, and really listen instead of being defensive. It might not save this relationship, but it could help you not f**k up your next one.

    Oh man, I would have punched him for the gross and sexist remark while his girlfriend was worrying for her friend's health. I had a C-section, and it's no joke. FLICK him. What he did afterwards makes me hope she dumped him like the trash he is.

    I hope and pray the girlfriend ditches him. What an absolute disgusting manchild. These kinds of 'jokes' show exactly what kind of misogynist and creep he is. Reducing a woman to what he perceives as her sexual utility to men after she's just gone through a ceasarean. And they wonder why women are happy to be cat ladies.

    OP's remark was totally out of line, misogynistic and inappropriate. HIs girlfriend explained, objectively, how a C-section works, but her boyfriend made it personal. What has he to do with someone else's nether regions? What business is it of him? This remark is misogynistic and wildly inappropriate from anyone who makes it. Someone else's nether regions are no business of yours unless that person wants it to be! Stick to your own and do better!

    Wow to that last comment. Love how calling out something so inappropriate made him "cornered" and the "we as women sometimes argue for no reason" was just sad proof that some women are misogynistic too. The way he reacted to the initial call out meant all bets were off and actually he had it easy. She should have dumped him on the spot because the way in which he doubled down was disgusting.

    Stupidly uninformed joke from a previous era. Dude is missing out on a ton of benefits on that activity if he isn't willing to learn the basic physiology -for it isn't that initial portal that applies the real pressure, it's the more significant mass of muscle beyond it. For those who didn't know this, think Kegel exercises. As I said, dude's missing out.

    Well, I know this is a Very Old AITA post straight from Reddit, but what REALLY outraged me in this whole post was learing about the "husband stitch". I thought, what an odd term, what could that possible be? Then I looked at the term for a few more seconds, and it dawned on me. I searched for the original Reddit post, which is so old it is locked, and the things I've read on there. Guys. It's insane. IN.SANE. I am SO outraged!!!!!! I know for a fact I was stitched up a little too tight, and that got fixed when I got stitched up again after the birth of our next child, but that was absolutely not intentional, I am 100% sure of that. However, the midwife told me she noticed it was stitched a little uncomfortably, and she also immediately told me she'd fix that (when stitching me up). But BY JOVE how is it possible men AND women stitch up other peoples vagina's too tight on purpose, thinking it will be better for the men???? They are just effing up people's s e x lives for real!!!!!

    Some people post on AITA for the attention even though they know they're not an a*****e. Others, like this piece of garbage, actually think they're fine but in reality they are insane and need therapy and to break off their relationships until they can stop being toxic. Holy f*****g s**t that went off the rails immediately. His "joke" was stupid and wrong and misogynistic and I cannot believe he thinks he was the one who had the right to walk out in frustration. BEST case scenario, he got embarrassed that he said something so stupid and ran away from his problems. Still not great but come onnnnnn.

But do cases like this actually happen where ppl are completely ignorant about basic human physiology? Probably. do they stick to their wrong knowledge and accuse others of being mistaken? Probably...

    The person who says the girlfriend was wrong to "describe a graphic medical procedure at the dinner table" sounds like a real joy to be around. Stating someone "had a c section" and describing a scar from the incision is not "graphic". This person sounds like a relative I have who is so obsessed with women's bodies I don't feel comfortable going braless around them, and makes fake farting sounds for attention, but clutches their pearls if I have the nerve to floss my teeth in front of them. People who fake this kind of disgust are a******s in general.

    Dude seriously thinks talking about the tightness of her friend's vagina is entirely a normal thing to joke about? Is he 12? She probably shouldn't be going into details of the procedure at dinner, but that simply requires a TMI comment to stop her. And had absolutely nothing to do with his comment or his behavior.

That a**hat makes a joke about her friend's VAG*NA, a sexiest one at that, and then doesn't understand why she won't just drop it? No. That joke has been around way too long and it's one of the reasons people think a "husband's stitch" is something women should do. Since when should any woman modify her body for a man?

    Well if you don't like to be called out in a public place, the best strategy is to not say something that needs being called out.... She calling you out was definitely justified, and the hole you are in, is one that you dug for yourself. So take some responsibility for the fall out of your own actions, and do some selfreflection, rather than just fleeing the consequences of your actions, and putting the blame on her. You sound like the kind of person who is completely unable to see anything from another perspective, and hence you won't ever learn anything.

    Oh man, I would have punched him for the gross and sexist remark while his girlfriend was worrying for her friend's health. I had a C-section, and it's no joke. FLICK him. What he did afterwards makes me hope she dumped him like the trash he is.

    The fact that people were insensed that she *likely quietly* mentioned a perfectly normal medical procedure because it was in a restaurant would be horrified about a punch, but I completely applaud your idea.

    I hope and pray the girlfriend ditches him. What an absolute disgusting manchild. These kinds of 'jokes' show exactly what kind of misogynist and creep he is. Reducing a woman to what he perceives as her sexual utility to men after she's just gone through a ceasarean. And they wonder why women are happy to be cat ladies.

    Lol, so true! I have cats, and recently left an online game I really enjoyed because I was fed up of the misogynistic comments that are unchecked (despite there being in-game rules). I thought I wouldn’t put up with this in real life, why would I do it online?

    OP's remark was totally out of line, misogynistic and inappropriate. HIs girlfriend explained, objectively, how a C-section works, but her boyfriend made it personal. What has he to do with someone else's nether regions? What business is it of him? This remark is misogynistic and wildly inappropriate from anyone who makes it. Someone else's nether regions are no business of yours unless that person wants it to be! Stick to your own and do better!

    Wow to that last comment. Love how calling out something so inappropriate made him "cornered" and the "we as women sometimes argue for no reason" was just sad proof that some women are misogynistic too. The way he reacted to the initial call out meant all bets were off and actually he had it easy. She should have dumped him on the spot because the way in which he doubled down was disgusting.

    Stupidly uninformed joke from a previous era. Dude is missing out on a ton of benefits on that activity if he isn't willing to learn the basic physiology -for it isn't that initial portal that applies the real pressure, it's the more significant mass of muscle beyond it. For those who didn't know this, think Kegel exercises. As I said, dude's missing out.

    Well, I know this is a Very Old AITA post straight from Reddit, but what REALLY outraged me in this whole post was learing about the "husband stitch". I thought, what an odd term, what could that possible be? Then I looked at the term for a few more seconds, and it dawned on me. I searched for the original Reddit post, which is so old it is locked, and the things I've read on there. Guys. It's insane. IN.SANE. I am SO outraged!!!!!! I know for a fact I was stitched up a little too tight, and that got fixed when I got stitched up again after the birth of our next child, but that was absolutely not intentional, I am 100% sure of that. However, the midwife told me she noticed it was stitched a little uncomfortably, and she also immediately told me she'd fix that (when stitching me up). But BY JOVE how is it possible men AND women stitch up other peoples vagina's too tight on purpose, thinking it will be better for the men???? They are just effing up people's s e x lives for real!!!!!

    Some people post on AITA for the attention even though they know they're not an a*****e. Others, like this piece of garbage, actually think they're fine but in reality they are insane and need therapy and to break off their relationships until they can stop being toxic. Holy f*****g s**t that went off the rails immediately. His "joke" was stupid and wrong and misogynistic and I cannot believe he thinks he was the one who had the right to walk out in frustration. BEST case scenario, he got embarrassed that he said something so stupid and ran away from his problems. Still not great but come onnnnnn.

    I am legit thinking this is rage bait. The wording of it... No human can be this oblivious right? No one lacks this basic level of self awareness. But do cases like this actually happen where ppl are completely ignorant about basic human physiology? Probably. do they stick to their wrong knowledge and accuse others of being mistaken? Probably...

    The person who says the girlfriend was wrong to "describe a graphic medical procedure at the dinner table" sounds like a real joy to be around. Stating someone "had a c section" and describing a scar from the incision is not "graphic". This person sounds like a relative I have who is so obsessed with women's bodies I don't feel comfortable going braless around them, and makes fake farting sounds for attention, but clutches their pearls if I have the nerve to floss my teeth in front of them. People who fake this kind of disgust are a******s in general.

    Dude seriously thinks talking about the tightness of her friend's vagina is entirely a normal thing to joke about? Is he 12? She probably shouldn't be going into details of the procedure at dinner, but that simply requires a TMI comment to stop her. And had absolutely nothing to do with his comment or his behavior.

Not one I would expect from any guy over that age and well, probably wouldn't tolerate even in a young kid. Everything about this situation screams man child bordering on incel.

    To any of that 8% who think the GF contributed anything to escalating the situation, all I can say is... REALLY? That a**hat makes a joke about her friend's VAG*NA, a sexiest one at that, and then doesn't understand why she won't just drop it? No. That joke has been around way too long and it's one of the reasons people think a "husband's stitch" is something women should do. Since when should any woman modify her body for a man? And BTW, the vag*na returns to its regular "tightness" in a matter of months. It's f*cking ridiculous. I really hope she's moving out

    Well if you don't like to be called out in a public place, the best strategy is to not say something that needs being called out.... She calling you out was definitely justified, and the hole you are in, is one that you dug for yourself. So take some responsibility for the fall out of your own actions, and do some selfreflection, rather than just fleeing the consequences of your actions, and putting the blame on her. You sound like the kind of person who is completely unable to see anything from another perspective, and hence you won't ever learn anything.
