These feminists are taking women backwards. What happened to strong female empowerment? They can’t take a joke without being “shaken”? I see so many making a mountain out of a molehill, and it’s not a good look for women. This joke wasn’t offensive!
Right? I'd just have rolled my eyes at the dirty ol' man and moved on.
She's not crazy. Let's not be dramatic here or we won't be displaying any more solid reasoning than she's being accused of not displaying.
She was offended by an off-color joke.
Eh. It happens. I really would have just told him to his face, if I were her. I suspect he would have apologized and told her it was an old joke his dad used to tell and he didn't mean harm and all would have been well.
This is a big mess that did not need to go so far. But, once he was asked to apologize, he should have just apologized while telling her why he said it. The mess here is the breakdown in discourse.
Just looking at the big picture.
His sorry-not-sorry was spot on. I thought it was stupid to even ask him for an apology.
Or, you could have just laughed and been on your way. Or ignored it. It’s not that offensive.
Exactly.
I don't understand this need to be offended at everything all the time. It's like a hobby or pastime for some people now. They want to be angry and upset all the time. It's mental illness.

It is partly to feel morally superior by virtue signaling. I don't get it either. I hear stupid stuff all the time. What happened to live, and let live.
One woman's reaction doesn't represent all feminists.
