but that women occasionally make jokes that bruise the male ego. You apparently think the role of women is to ensure that men are never offended or made to feel sad.

Meanwhile, women are referred to as sluts, skanks, whores, bitches with great regularity, but we are told it's okay as long as the women belongs to the opposing party. The English language doesn't even have equivalent words to degrade men, but you think misandry is a great problem plaguing our party.

Trump is able to appeal to the aggrieved white male because MAGA's fundamental ideology is that everyone else is and should be treated as inferior to white men. They don't want equality. They want supremacy, and that is what you want us to indulge. They are pissed off because they have to compete for jobs on merit--that they are no longer guaranteed a high income purely through an accident of birth. Also, some young men in particular are pissed off because they think they are entitled to access to the most beautiful and desirable women in society (ordinary women are not considered acceptable), regardless of their own appeal. Is that what you want us to emulate? Should we also support rounding up brown people and firing them from jobs? Do you think they are right to strip women of equal rights? Where exactly do you draw the line? Or is the goal simply to nurture fragile egos by ensuring men are never offended?

Then there is the fact that there are a number of people who think the role of comedy or jokes is to affirm their preexisting beliefs, political views, or egos. Being humorless is an unfortunate state of being that affects the constantly aggrieved party to their own detriment. That you are so outraged by a mild joke speaks is indeed unfortunate. Women are constantly a comedic target, and if I took that personally I'd be a miserable person.

My view is that the social media problem that hurts us is the culture of constant outrage expressed by too many. Now you have chosen to express similar outrage over virtually nothing.
