Washington Post spirals out of control after a writer retweets a 'reprehensible' joke about women

A spokesperson for the Washington Post issued an apology after a writer retweeted a sexist joke and other writers at the news outlet objected vocally on Twitter.

Dave Weigel retweeted a joke about women on Friday and immediately regretted it after he was criticized heavily for joking on Twitter.

Weigel deleted the tweet, but it was saved for posterity by random people on Twitter and other writers at the outlet, like Felicia Sonmez, who objected to the sexist message.

\u201cFantastic to work at a news outlet where retweets like this are allowed!\u201d

He'll be gone by tomorrow.

"Every girl is bi. You just have to figure out if it's polar or sexual," read the tweet.

“Reprehensible” = too close to the truth

Every woman I’ve ever met has been bisexual after the third cocktail.

Hard to work up any sympathy for a Washington Post writer. If someone else had done this (particularly a conservative), you know that he would be in lynching party.

Harmless tweet that's funny because it's actually sort of true. But we know that WaPo is woke so he'll have to resign.

Really? That’s sexist? I’ve heard women say much worse about men and everyone laughed.

It’s a brilliant tweet.

So sad the whole woke world seems to have forgotten Mick Jagger’s legendary rejoinder, “F ‘em if they can’t take a joke.”

Not laugh out loud funny but did provoke a twitch of the lips.
