no, it's not funny

i CAN (and do) take a joke. i CAN laugh at 'women' jokes. a couple of things aren't really funny to me at all though.

RAPE isn't funny and in this case, women's hard work and heroism TO BE TREATED EQUALLY (which by the way, isn't FULLY happening) should NOT be taken lightly.

End women’s right to vote, Nevada’s largest newspaper says
By Daniel Tencer

The editor of the Las Vegas Review-Journal says he was kidding when he penned an editorial calling for women's right to vote to be repealed, but plenty of people aren't laughing.

Thomas Mitchell has found himself defending his "satirical" look at the differences in the voting patterns of men and women after receiving a "swift and voluble" public reaction to his column on Friday, which was entitled "Time to repeal the 19th amendment?"

"People and candidates for public office should be judged on the basis of their ideas, stance on the issues, character, experience and integrity, not on the basis of age, race, creed, color, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, religion or disability," Mitchell wrote. "Therefore, we must repeal the 19th Amendment. Yes, the one granting suffrage to women. Because? Well, women are biased."...............
