I draw the line where a joke or statement would be recognized by a third-party observer as hateful and/or intended to hurt someone. You know, like the comments that Ms. Seida actually said "took my heart with it".
And yes, that's not an objective binary distinction, because that is not possible when you're dealing with language and feelings.
My point is that it's not the topic that makes a joke offensive. You can have jokes about sex and race without them being sexist or racist.
That enough thought for you? Or do you prefer not to actually think about this and just wallow in self-righteousness and assume that anyone who disagrees with you must not be thinking?
