The same women complaining about this are the same ones that complain women dint get free entry in clubs when men are always having to pay the cover charge to get in anywhere.

WTF offended over what ???

My respect for bob 💯

I love Palki but I disagree with her on this and I’m a woman. So he made a comment. Maybe it slipped out, but it wasn’t any big deal. I do take a long time, and I’m always late. The last thing we need to do is to get the woke police out to harp on every single little thing that is just human nature. Nobody’s perfect 😂😂😂

Am I watching CNN ??? Feels like it!!!

People will stop being casual or talking freely if such tags keep getting them cancelled. These days everything is offending someone. Its Psuedo - Censorship being imposed.

It's unfortunate when we try to make a mountain out of a mole..

But fat papa smurf with blue balls is okay?..

There are so many bad things happening in this Olympic and this is the topic you choose... You are blowing this out of proportion. The man apologized and got sacked. What else do you need? A death penalty for freedom of expression? The joke definite was not funny, neither highlighting and gaslighting him.

He is stating facts what is wrong with that.
-
😂sorry palki, y'all can't take a joke now.this is the most common thing to make harmless fun of women. Bunch of snowflakes😅
-
He just made a lame joke, this was not news worthy, and did you cover the horror opening ceremony with the same passion? Or are you afraid you'd offene some people. Easy to pick and choose news to keep woke people happy.
