Well yeah.
I hate thinking of little boys hearing that kind of crap about men all the time.
If men in this case had been replaced with blacks or jews.. it would not have been considered funny or acceptable. I don't think men are fair game for being constantly insulted just because they are men.
I know this will come across as heavy handed about Ada Grace's comment, lots of people make these kinds of comments as for some reason it's okay to do this about men but no one else.
In this case the inconsitancy bothers me too, and as has been mentioned before I think this board should be required to set an example. It's been proven twice that you can't make a joke about r*dnecks, (and being a r*dneck is a choice) without gettin P.B.C'd but a deputy can laugh along at a joke about men not being as good as women..
It makes no sense to me.
