Golden Globes: "Let's play 'Who Would You Rather Do'!" [View all]

I just saw the clip of Amy Poehler and Tina Fey at the Golden Globes where they do a funny bit and say:

"Let's do what a little bit of what we know you're talking about at home. Let's play 'Who Would You Rather Do"!

They then proceed to name men that and have a back-and-forth about who they would rather have sex with.

I thought it was amusing, but it made me wonder what the "take away" should be from a gender discussion perspective.

Does it mean that such conversations are just that, harmless conversations that no one should make a big deal about?

OR is it supposed to be a case of "men do those horrible sexist things so let's do the very same thing to PROVE how horrible and sexist they are by being horrible and sexist ourselves."

If it is the latter (that they ACTUALLY think it is sexist) I would dare to suggest that being sexist by taking cowardly refuge in the name of comedy or one-upsmanship is, well...cowardly.

I wish the members of HOF could comment on this but unfortunately they are blocked from here. Oh wait, no they're not. I was thinking of how just about everyone here is blocked from discussion there. Then I look forward to a lively conversation!
