So curious about the downvotes. Please keep your vote how you did, but it would be interesting to know if it’s primarily one of these reasons below, or is it something else?

A. The downvotes express that my comment is just not funny, but the voter completely understands what I was going for
B. The downvotes express not liking being told not to objectify women
C. The downvotes express not liking me objectifying this woman
D. The downvotes are based on a misunderstanding of what I was going for

I think you got a minority of downvotes to start, then others piled in. There are plenty of similar jokes in the thread that didn't get that treatment. Also, people ~~on the internet~~ are generally pretty bad at reading and the venn diagram has a lot of overlap with people looking for an excuse to be offended.

Yeah, I think it’s actually funnier that it got downvoted. But damn I’m curious how it all went down for everyone.
