If a man did a list like that ,would it still be a joke?
Yes, of course.
Not a very good joke. I don't find the one compiled by this young woman to be particularly funny. It's quite cringe-worthy I think, and not my type of humour. But who knows what sort of banter goes on between her and her boyfriend?
Nobody does things like this and expects anyone to take it seriously.
I'm not saying this is legit but it wouldn't suprise me if it was. I'm seeing couples get into fights because they liked a picture of the opposite sex on Facebook!
Marry her quick. Instantly flout the rules, making her furious and unreasonable.
File for divorce, citing the numerous examples of her erratic and controlling behaviour.
Make off with £500k of her money and get back to dating
20 year old Jane Park has issued her 21 year old boyfriend, Connor George, with a set of rules as he heads off to Ibiza for a holiday with his male pals. Most men would instantly show her the door but there is the small matter of a million quid his girlfriend won on the lottery!
Insanely insecure (check out the t-shirt she's making him wear!) or tongue in cheek humour? Which way do you see it?
Although we think Jane is fully prepared to follow through on her threats. ‘It’s funny but I am being deadly serious,’ she said last night. ‘He is a nice guy and I trust him. He said he’ll wear it with pride.’
If it isn't I dread to think how she'd behave if she didn't trust him.
Dear me, woman publishes joke on social media, gets called 'airhead', 'bimbo', 'control freak' amongst other things. Jealous of her lottery win, anyone?
Sounds like it, doesn't it? How dare a very ordinary working class girl get a big win when there are men who know where to put an apostrophe sitting unrewarded!
Whilst not a fan of the current Tory neoliberal government one of their few perhaps good social interventions could be very good here with the negative controlling behaviour that this control freak individual is engaging in.
Consider the list of rules and then this
"Just because you don't resort to hitting your close partner, family or friends, doesn't mean your otherwise negative behaviour shouldn't be kept in check, according to a new law that aims to stop controlling or co-ercive behaviour, probably one of the few good social interventions the current government has brought about.
This would apply to that list no?
"The CPS said abuse can include a pattern of threats, humiliation and intimidation, or behaviour such as stopping a partner socialising, controlling their social media accounts, surveillance through apps or dictating what they wear."
Also when we gender role reverse the list of rules it becomes a whole list of things that mainstream society deems unacceptable and distasteful, to downright abusive, but when applying them to a man, society perhaps thinks it's a bit of a joke, it isn't really.
There is a power imbalance with her finance and lottery win which she seems to be exploiting pretty heavily as well as the general power imbalance with the availability of relationships with women for men, it could be argued, not withholding the idea that this problem exists for women as well sometimes.
She is a rather vile character in exploiting this to the full with her boyfriend, and if the shoe was on the other foot, a character like this would most likely be of the gold-digging variety in all likelihood, this in combination with her general ignorance as displayed by her rubbish spelling (that I'm not normally a pedant before but seems to speak volumes with characters like her!) would make it seem that lottery aside she is not much of a catch anyway.
So she at least needs to be warned to stop this sort of behaviour.

Yes, but I can expect a fair amount of outrage regardless.
I doubt it. The DS feminists would be all over you like a bad rash, with the sexist, misogynist **** they always come out with.

Regrettably this is probably true. Not in your case, but I'd have thought 'bimbo' was a bit near the mark for a bloke to say about this woman.
Only from the humourless.
Plenty of people seem to have lost their sense of humour in favour of being outraged and offended.
Sounds like it, doesn't it? How dare a very ordinary working class girl get a big win when there are men who know where to put an apostrophe sitting unrewarded!
Judging by her spelling and grammar I doubt she's intelligent enough to know what a parody is.

Course it is. Even that statement comes across as firmly tongue-in-cheek.
Huh?
My spelling/grammar is often atrocious too, but I like a good parody
Perhaps so, but I still reckon she's as thick as pig poop.
Being called a bimbo is a compliment around here, as in you got off lucky.
But seriously. I haven't heard the word used for years and thought it had dropped off the end of the insult lingo treadmill.
Too much of a good thing maybe or he needs some me (as in not with women) time.
Could be.
