Mr. C, please stop talking for all men. Sexist jokes are sexist. The men I hang around with call that kind of stuff out and I assure we we are not simps but hard as nails.
Making a joke/comment about the satisfaction of beating your wife is bad enough. But posting the comment on Twitter is another level entirely. That's not a spur of the moment bad decision to make an inappropriate comment, that is actually something you do deliberately. And he did. And as far as I can tell, he says it was a bad decision to do so, but never explained why he did it. That hurts.
I saw your comment. My point is that what he said was bad enough, but he said it on Twitter, not to a friend, it wasn't something offhand that was overheard. That would have been bad enough. He actually tweeted it. That changes it from a bad spontaneous decision to a really questionable deliberate decision to type it. That's what I really have a problem with. I was just pointing out how those are different.
Women say stupid things about men all the time (though not to the level of Neville and his wife beating-joke), but if a woman actually posted something stupid like that, it takes it to a different level.
"I'm only sexist when women aren't around," may not be the eloquent defense you intend it to be.
Your projection of your own sexism onto others is quite telling. That's not 'how it is' at all. You should seriously consider getting help.
Thank you, barking.
