What do you think /r/MensRights, is an older male politician jokingly addressing Miss NZ contestants in the public gallery (to fits of laughter) sexist?

“It’s just a chance to acknowledge all those women who don’t feel like they have to behave nicely around creepy, old, senile politicians.”

I am typically able to see the reason for an opposing viewpoint, but for the life of me, I am unable to detect to cause for offense on this occasion.

Impossible to tell because the "journalist" was more interested in giving the feminist politician a platform for her outrage rather than, you know, reporting the news.

Apparently, he said having the women there was "very pleasant". We certainly don't want that kind of horrid language in government! /s
