@aral @webandphp I've seen you use penis jokes in your own talks that were far more overt. Were they wrong? I don't think so in context
I wonder if seeing tweets like this https://twitter.com/philsturgeon/status/306403018197315585 … will make @webandphp magazine realise their folly.

@pilky Context & framing are key. You’re referring to the elevator control panel joke. It is not framed for a male audience. +@webandphp -
@aral Sure, my point is more that something like the@webandphp shirt is not as clear cut as "just for men" as some seem to make it -
@pilky Again, a key question is: does the t‐shirt make sense when read by a woman? It does not. She cannot enhance her penis… +@webandphp

@aral your post is absolutely right. My good lady works in the construction industry, it's the same type of comments she hears. -
