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

That’s rather clever.
“us women”? And all this time I thought you were a man.
Big damn deal. These people have such thin skin that I would how they can go out in the sun.
And the whining. Is there anything in their sad, vindictive little lives that is not a crisis?
You will never satisfy these pinheads, so just do what you do and if they complain, tell them to take a hike and keep on doing it. Appeasement never works at any level, from individuals to countries.
“…The X-axis is attractiveness, which is of course on a scale of 1 to 10, and the Y-axis is craziness Which is judged on a scale of 4 to 10, because no woman is less than four crazy…”
Felicia’s response tweet is 100 times more offensive. Allowed?
That part to me illustrates why I find this politically correct crap particularly irritating. Thing is, I know a number of women who would hear that and laugh at it as well.
“”Every girl is bi. You just have to figure out if it’s polar or sexual,” read the tweet.”
ROFL!
I think the tweet is un-gentlemanly but true for the polar part. They’re all crazy.
Reprehensible???? I think it is BRILLIANT!
us = american
Good grief
Every girl is by-by. You just have to figure out if it is by nine p.m. two a.m.
If you have 2 Chinese women you have an argument; with 3 you have restaurant if there are 4 you’ve got a market.
The new normal... jokes are not allowed.
I never can remember jokes.
The funniest joke that I do remember, would get me zotted even from here.
I think that’s plain funny
Siegel is a little leftist POS and incompetent factchecker.
SNL had this animation on their show 20 years ago. It was funny. But they wouldn't dare to air it today.
maybe they’ll fire him again!
