Kansas City Burger Joint Owner Tells Female Reporter - I would Love to see......

Would it have been OK for him to say it if she had been offended?

Absolutely. It's also OK to be offended by a harmless joke, I will just think less of that person.

It's one thing to talk about how minor it was. It's another to not even realize WTF sexual harassment is.

Oh the ironing is delicious in this one....

Please show me where you have a constitutional right not to be offended. I've seen far worse spewed out here on this forum. Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned - or a liberal butt-hurt.

I think glossing over it to the point that people don't even realize what sexual harassment is is just as bad. It sets the field for some horrific work conditions and actually diminishes "real sexual harassment victims" as well.

This explains why you're such an idiot in the PC Gaming forum.

figures this is the way the story is spun on the huff post. site is ran by a true feminazi.

Its funny how anyone who uses the word feminazi is always shown to be a complete dumbfuck.

He was talking to a stranger on television. That it turned out ok doesn't make it ok. Assholes of P&N unite though right?

Oh jeez lighten up! News is entertainment these days.

How does something this stupid and trivial make it into the news?

THIS IS THE PC POLICE! DROP THE DOUBLE ENTENDRE AND COME OUT WITH YOUR HANDS UP! DON'T HAVE FUN, OR WE WILL OPEN FIRE!

LOL, liberals.

What does this have to do with liberals?

It's funny and offensive; appropriateness of such shock humor depends on the audience. There's a lot of social and non verbal cues you have to correctly read from a person before using such a joke.
He may have correctly read her for the purposes of the joke, but he made a mistake in telling it on TV where it would also be heard by hundreds or thousands of people he could not properly vet.

Socially acceptable behavior is not black and white; it's a fuzzy logic which is very fluid depending on the involved parties.

Personally, I would not hazard such a quip with a woman until I was fairly familiar with her sensibilities. Something like a month long acquaintance with 5+ hours of interaction in that time, and a good observational knowledge of her interactions with other friends and the type of humor and sensibilities they share.
