I asked the Mrs., who is a very successful professional woman, what she thought of the comment when she first heard it. I was surprised. Her exact words were "How stupid of a person do you have to be to think that is a smart thing to say? I can't get to the point of being offended by it because I can't get past how stupid it was."
“I can’t get to the point of being offended by it because I can’t get past how stupid it was.”
Ouch!
