I need your help,dude
here's a joke:
If a man talks dirty to a woman it's sexual harassment If a woman talks dirty to a man it's nine dollars a minute but what's the "nine dollars a minute" mean? it must be a piece of slang i suppose. Thanks!
I think it refers to phone lines that you call for phone sex. Usually these lines have expensive rates to call, in this case $9 per minute.
This is called a double standard.
If a man talks dirty to a woman (a stranger) it's seen as sexual harassment but, if a man wants a woman to talk dirty to him, he has to pay for it!
<<if a man wants a woman to talk dirty to him, he has to pay for it! >>
Well, he doesn't *have to*, does he? <<This is called a double standard. >> No, it isn't.
I don't think he understand what nine dollars a minute means. It means that for every minute he talks to her, he gets charged nine dollars. Say he's on the phone with her for three minutes, so at 9 dollars a minute and a total of three minutes, that's 27 dollars (9 x 3 = 27)
Nine dollars per minute. Nine dollars for every minute that she talks dirty to him.
(Wow! I need to quit my day job!)
<< <<This is called a double standard. >>
No, it isn't.>> In the context of the joke, it most certainly is a double standard. The morals here relating to sexual conduct, imposed on men, do not apply as rigidly to women. That's the primary theme of the joke.
Whatever. I really can't be bothered to argue sexual politics here.
I agree with Uriel - why can't I earn 9 dollars a minute! ;) BTW 'Guest', at least post under a name!
Yes, I get the joke, hilarious though it, uhm, isn't! ;)
My point was, the joke makes no sense without a wider knowledge of sexual politics (oh God, this is definitely my last post on this silly subject!) 'Candy lover' is an excellent name - keep posting! :-)
Sorry for unnerving your self-absorbing sentiment but I was explaining the joke to the thread starter to put his question into perspective. Since it may have made no sense, I'm sure the extra term may have helped.
Yum :)
<<Sorry for unnerving your self-absorbing sentiment>>
Makes no sense to me. Are you a native English speaker? If so, why can't you write a correct sentence?
Too bad. Yes I am a native English speaker. If I knew it was incorrect, I wouldn't have written it. Duh!
You're just upset and trying to get back at me. Muahaha :P
Instead of my vile wording above, how about "rattling your cage"? Does that make more sense to you?
