@Self_Consuming_Cannibal -
That’s completely unfair. A while ago you asked this question regarding your questions being taken down because of certain apparent quality issues. It was clear that the issue was you thought discussion could arise regardless of how the question was put.
Now, your question is up, and you’re shouting at the community instead of responding to it for taking a joke that can clearly be interpreted in a sexist fashion in an offensive way. That’s the problem with humor – some of it can be considered tasteless, and some of it offensive. If you talk about gender roles, you’re going to have people that take offense. If you can’t deal with that, then you should consider phrasing things more carefully (particularly on the internet, where tone isn’t clear, and responses can be delayed/overlap).
You can’t have your cake and eat it to. If you don’t want to think about the reaction to what you’re posting and just get it up without moderator interference, you get to deal with being misinterpreted. If you don’t want to be misinterpreted as much, than accept some of the moderator interference.
But if you want to express your opinion and say it’s free speech, you better be damn well certain you’re not yelling at the rest of the community for doing the same thing.
PS – they have a sense of humor – just not your sense of humor
