If it was your daughter, sister, or mother, then you wouldn't find it funny or think that it's "just a joke." This is what hypocrisy looks like. There are formats where you can get away with this sort of thing, while it would still with good reason be controversial. Something like Sunday Night Football is not that. I don't really care, but you have to be pretty thick to not see that this would get a negative reaction. And this is definitely not a generational thing. People would have been more sensitive to this kind of crass joke 50 years ago.

Actually, hypocrisy is some of these women involved preaching to us about the GOP's supposed war on women while all the while keeping their mouths shut as long as good ol' Harvey kept doling out parts in his movies.

Actually i'd say that probably makes you the hypocrite.

If what you said is the case, then we can't really joke about anything at all because there will always be someone who can be offended by that joke.

Can you prove Harvey Weinstein didn't rape my mother?
