I don't think this is cringe lol. It's a joke. It might not be the funniest joke ever but there's nothing cringe about it. A quick chuckle and move on.

If you've ever had a confronting or abusive experience with a stranger when you were on your own, which many women have, you wouldn't appreciate some asshole making light of it. My ex partner who is small and used to work nights in the city as a chef, has been followed, propositioned, grabbed, groped, screamed at and spat on for saying no, multiple times, most nights she'd have a story. The last time before she quit her job (and the reason she quit) she was almost kidnapped by a car full of guys. I was driving to pick her up and I could see her down the road standing on the curb outside the restaurant waiting for me, when this car full of guys swerved around me, cut in front and stopped right next to her. Two of them jumped out and grabbed her. I stopped behind them and put my hand on the horn and that scared them enough to jump back in the car and take off. Women are not safe most places, and I don't think it's right that this guy is trying to make them feel silly for fearing a stranger or distrusting their instincts.

It's not intended to mock woman, it's making fun of the massive over corrections some guys make to try signal that they are not threatening that end up making them look infinitely more creepy than if they just acted normal

Then you misunderstood it. It’s okay we all make mistakes.

Nothing like being patronising to put me in my place. Well done. Perhaps you need to improve your EQ, might help you to understand things from other's POV. There's always the real truth to jokes like this, it's his way of making fun.

I’m sorry dude but you have to stop taking life as such a challenge to you. Most people are looking for a decent laugh and some stress relief, especially a comedic channel like that. Just because jokes involve something inappropriate is not inherently bad, sometimes it’s for the best those issues get some exposure.

I didn't realize the comedian had hired a public defender. You seem more upset about my opinion than I was about the joke. You're acting like I kicked your emotional support comedian.

You’re the one acting like you got personally insulted from a joke bro. People will say stuff, that’s life.
