Can A "Joke" Be "Denigrating?”
It seems hard to believe that the question needs to be answered, but apparently so. Via James Joyner, Ed Morrissey asks:
[H]ave we become such pantywaists that we can’t tell the difference between a joke and “denigration”, “disempowerment”, and “humiliation”?
"Pantywaists" is defined as "[a] boy or man who is considered weak or effeminate." A sexist critique of sexist behavior - or, if you will, a sexist "joke." Well done Mr. Morrissey. Your "he man" status is now assured.
Speaking for me only
