Eyeroll. Leave it up to the cadre of privileged, ignorant commenters on this website to not even understand feminism, and then think that somehow believing in equal rights makes a person a pansy.
It's a lot easier to be an ignorant, privileged, pissant bully than it is to stand up for what's right. Please, go back to the 19th century where your prejudice belongs.
HAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHA!!!! Look guys here's one now!
I love it when the offended-by-everything, humor-less weenies come out of the woodwork every time a thread like this comes along. It gives me so much entertainment!
And then on the flipside, we have the people who go "OMG, ITS A JOKE" even though they don't have some crystal ball that reveals to them the intent of the person who wrote it.
We can't assume everyone telling a racist/sexist/bigoted joke is doing it with tongue-in-cheek. Sometimes they are just racist, sexist, or bigoted. I'm not calling it one way or another, because I don't know any better, If I did KNOW the intention, and it wasnt rooted in bigotry, I'd be the first to defend this person to the death.
Certainly not the smartest move though, you're at work and the professionalism should be there, If he stood up in his office and said 'feminist whore,' to everyone on the floor he'd at LEAST get to go have a chat with HR. that right there should tell you it doesn't belong in your work.
In this regard, it's just a stupid move on the persons part who put it in there.
