Offensive: what is and what isn't ?

Offensive: what is and what isn't ?
First, this thread is very RANDOM. You have been warned.


__________________________________________

I just had a discussion with some female friends while watching Star Wars, and one of them happens to be very strongly opinionated towards the role of women in general. She found some comments i made offensive and i wanted to check if these following affirmations are considered offensive or not:

-Having "male" and "female" electricity plugs, "male" with the metally bits and "female" with the holes where these bits go in, is offensive to the Transgendered since they can possess the other sex's features.

-Finding Leia and Luke's budding incestuous relationship weird and funny is offensive because incest is natural.

-Making jokes about whiny men saying "shut up or ill punch you in the ovaries" is offensive to women.

-Men calling their cars (on in this case, spaceships) "she" like it was female is objectifying women and as such is offensive.

I personally find none of those offensive but i may be wrong. Input would be helpful so that im not offensive by mistake in the future Smile
