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

Part of the humor is that we know it irks some women.

Only Rosie O'Donnell the bisexual and bipolar ones.

“Take my wife... please take her!”

“Women drivers...”

“My mother-in-law...”

How did we all survive?

Liberals tend to be quite sexist and racist.

I worked in a hive of leftists for about a year in the SF Bay Area and they seemed clueless about how racist and sexist their conversations among themselves were. Then they’d extoll the virtues of Bernie Sanders and the like.

The one other conservative and I would shake our heads and exchange smiles.

That’s “reprehensible?”

Of course if he had said something like “all I want for Christmas is white genocide” he would be celebrated for his courage.

It’s only a topic because the target of the joke is a protected class. Make a joke about white men and you wouldn’t hear a peep.

Yet drag queens who mock and degrade women are celebrated & worshiped.

Well Amber Heard is both.

Quite adept, so they say.
