@TravelGov "Some"? How about "it was poor attempt at humor. We apologize".

@Mint_mulatto @TravelGov not everyone thought it was a poor attempt at humor. Simmer down.

@coeurdartichaut @jake_wms but that's also not what the tweet was saying. It was saying that these types of con artists do target tourists.

@Fat_bot @TravelGov ROBOT HOUSEEEEE!

@TravelGov How about "we apologize because we are tone-deaf and also prone to dog-whistle misogyny"? There, I fixed it for you.

@Rinna0601 @TravelGov the tweet never implied it was about women. That's a stretch.

@Dutch_says @Rinna0601 @TravelGov I definitely thought it was aimed towards men who wouldn't usually be approached by women.

@DuckieMcphee @Dutch_says @TravelGov Look up what "dog whistle" means. Attractiveness insults are 9/10 aimed at women.

@Rinna0601 @DuckieMcphee @TravelGov Respectfully disagree. You projected gender onto the tweet, a slight perceived IMO. Just my 2 cents.

@Dutch_says @DuckieMcphee @TravelGov 140 chars isn't enough to explain how your perception is influenced by your privilege.

@Rinna0601 @DuckieMcphee @TravelGov Haha ok. Thanks for reducing me to a perceived privilege and subsequently shutting down a dialogue.

@Dutch_says @DuckieMcphee @TravelGov Thanks for reducing me to a "perceived" slight. I guess we're even.
