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!
It seems to be a requirement these days that to be a valid feminist one must be a victim of male aggression. She needed to find something and this apparently was the best she could come up with.

Some random examples that come to mind:
1. The OP article - and a grown womans' apparent inability to not only refuse to be offended by what was obviously a mild-elevator joke (would she have been pissed if he said "housewares" instead of lingerie? I bet she would have) but also her inability to identify what is truly sexually harassing behavior and what was a mild joke between colleagues at a conference.
2. The move to allow transgendered individuals to compete in womens divisions of sporting events. Do the research on how participation in sports has been proven to positively benefit the self-esteem of young women - and now extrapolate how those same young women will feel when those with natural physical strength advantages (ie. males who self-identify as female) continually win and those previously successful young women are now continually losing.
Also consider the consequences in terms of female athletic scholarship opportunities, professional female sports opportunities, sponsorship opportunities, role modeling up and coming young female athletes. Also consider the consequences of long standing elite female athletic records.
3. Consider Michelle Obama's recent comments openly wondering how women could have dismissed Clinton and voted for Trump. Or the president of Planned Parenthood making a speech at a womens march rally chastising white women "white women need to do better - women of color cannot do it alone" (ie: save the country from Trump). Go ahead. Openly and in large scale public forums feel free to demonize women who did not vote the way you wanted them to vote.
4. Germany providing train cars exclusively for women - publicly to help women "feel safe" while taking public transportation and in light of large scale refugee attacks against women in that country a couple of years ago. Women being segregated. For all of the right reasons of course. Purely in the interest of their safety of course...............
Real racism exists in this country but far left liberals have overused the term so much for so many years that calling someone a racist no longer has the same impact it had only a few years ago. It minimizes true cases of racism that exists and that is just a lousy, crying damn shame.
The same can be said for sexism. It's out there, it's legitimate and it's toxic. But cases like the moron in the link do real sexism (and its often destructive consequences) a grave disservice.
Better get used to it. This is how our society will become after the big blue wave hits....
Yes and we all need to stand against it and refuse to give in. In the end this conflict between conservatives and these far left freaks will bring conflict to this nation. Better sooner than later, the “big blue wall” IMO should be met with red state secession. I say no more, I’d rather watch this country burn than see those people impose thier twisted worldview on us. No more apologies, no more backing down. I’m glad this guy won’t apologize, the rebellion starts with defiance
I agree she was out of line with her claim of being offended, and was probably hoping to encounter such an opportunity to get her name in the news.
As far as feminism, back in the mid-70s I joined a secretarial organization (they later renamed the title to Administrative Assistant). At first the meetings were very informative as we discussed our jobs, latest technology, and ways to improve and increase our skills.
Unfortunately it turned into male-bashing. When I questioned why the switch in topics many spoke up that men are our enemies, but they never clearly defined 'enemy'. I told them I felt sorry for them and never went back.
Before I even read the article, I thought it was going to be something related to gender studies, activism, something. Seems these people engaged in these activities have some real mental issues, and are in search of being a perpetual victim so they can peddle the importance of their activism and studies.
Yes, looks like the Chosenites are at it again stirring up trouble with the Goyim. She almost had me convinced she was Italian with that last name but nope! “Born in Romania and raised in Israel” the article stated.
While such jokes indeed can be offensive (this is coming from someone who likes to tell racist/sexist jokes), the level of offensiveness and how you react perhaps could be a bigger issue. Realistically, free speech has consequences. Whether or not those consequences are just is another story. I don't see this as being necessary to add to the MeToo crusade.
That’s funny...you right wingers are STILL crying over the White House Correspondents Dinner.
One of these things is not like the other. If he had said something derogatory to her, that would have been offensive (as some of those jokes at the dinner were). He didn’t basically call her a Nazi. He made a joke about going to the lingerie floor.

Okay, now that’s offensive.
