I've not been following them, but I suppose that so many people I follow RT his stuff that I see it occasionally enough. This statement about essentially deserving women as well as being sexist generally is also really inappropriate in a work context.

The worst part IMHO is how many (basically all but
@lisawade) people seem to think it's totally fine — with women offering to date him, etc. Like@IrisVanRooij pointed out it's the explicit language too as well as the implicit messages from the whole thread. Troubling.

My guess is they all took it as the joke he was aiming for
-
ah, bingo! "Just joking" was on my card right between "boys will be boys" and "locker room talk".

My point is that while you all had (a perfectly legitimate) negative response, a lot of other people didn’t and it’s not clear anyone is wrong
-
This response surprises me. People make racist and homephobe jokes too. That’s OK because jokes?
-
Nope. I see why you were all upset. That thread just had a bunch of women in it having no particular problem with it so this seemed not so cut and dried is all
