It's disturbing to see people being ok with the misogyny in the review. But it's not surprising, because people in general need a lot more educating about the topic of misogyny. Lack of awareness and lack of understanding are major obstacles in fighting misogyny.

As for my saying women would be more likely to be bothered by the "humor" than men, I in way indicated that all women would feel one way or all men would feel another. Women and men are individuals. They all have their own individual reactions to things. For example, some men will be bothered by the "humor" and some women will like it. That said, not being the target of misogyny, men sometimes find it easier to be less offended by it (and having wives and mothers and sisters and daughters doesn't change that, because most men have some or all those people in their lives). The point was if it were targeted at you, you might find it not so funny or acceptable.

Humor doesn't excuse absolutely everything and nor does playing roles or whatever shit a person might want to try. What you find worthy of being presented as humor says something about you. And some things should not normally be used for humor.
