While it's annoying, it's also in the Comedy section of HuffPo.

Just left the following comment:

"Ok let's flip the genders around on that statement."Girlfriends screw up sometimes. You just have to teach them what their mistake was in a way they can understand."

Is it still "acceptable" or is that "different"?

Way to score one for gender equality there huffpost."

Ah yes. Humiliating your SO for trivial "offences". Comedy gold.

I'm just going to go and pray that when Cthulhu rises, he eats the HuffPo staff first.

This is comedy, anything goes in comedy, comedy stops being funny if you're not allowed to offend anyone, ever.

I like this sub, I really do. It brings to light many problems, but this kind of post is a nuisance. It was 100% obvious that it was a joke. If you don't like it, don't watch it. Some people here take things way too seriously.

Wait. Was this from Funny or Die or James Franco's Kink.com doc? I swear I've seen a video like this before...

Seriously, though. It's comedy and all things are allowed in comedy. I'm more bothered by the suggestion that that woman would ever give that dude the time of day. Talk about unrealistic.

Are women really that bothered by men looking at women? When you're out in this place called "public", you're going to see a lot of other people. Some will look funny. You will look at them and maybe giggle a little. Some will look like big meanies. So you'll steer clear of them. Others will look a bit off, and you'll probably giggle while crossing the street to avoid them. And still others will look attractive. They may be men and you'll say "Well there's a fine specimen. Something to aspire to. I wonder what that young cadet's abs are like." They may be women and you'll say "MMmmMMMmmmMM. That lithe young lady will surely make someone happy. Perhaps the buff lad that I just saw." Sometimes, you'll even go as far as to say "Why that person and I could have a wonderful time in each other's company," with the subject depending on your fancy.

It's OK. Everyone does it. They also put themselves in the driver's seat of particularly nice cars that go by. Or on the defense position against their favorite center (those are basketball words). Or in the boardroom of an impressive CEO. That doesn't mean that they will get there. That doesn't mean they even want to go there. That car is extremely expensive to purchase and maintain. And highly interesting to thieves. Pursuing a basketball career is only possibly in one's teenage years and early twenties and is physically and mentally decimating. Getting into a corporate boardroom takes grooming from adolescence with private schools, early internships, and long hours pursuing an MBA and a high end corporate CV. And that dude or chick whose bum you just noticed... doesn't even know your name and could very well be as crazy or weird as the person you crossed the street to avoid. So. I don't really understand the whole "Did you just look at him/her?" thing. If you're that worried that your SO will stray so easily, then you probably shouldn't be with that person.

Somebody should make a parody, then we could see how much HuffPo is against DV.

It's comedy, we can't bash on comedy playing on stereotypes or offensive material.
