Ah, the old "he's no angel" method of sidestepping an utterly reasonable position!

The perfect amalgamation of ad-hominem and whataboutism

Oh, we’re policing humor now? Can you please send me a copy of the guidelines for internet jokes, thanks

Those comments aren't humorous to me as they're all cheap shots on the same level as racist jokes. People who use that so called humour are either A, trying too hard to be edgy or B, a complete dick.

If you're going for offensive humour then there better be a clever punchline instead of blatant, tired sexism. Instead we get the equivalent of "black people steal" "mexicans are lazy" and so on.

He admitted it was both sexist in poor taste and apologized. I think he owned up to it.

> If you love something, let it go. If it comes back to you, its yours forever. If it doesn't, you hunt that bitch down and kill her.

That's just awful. Yikes.

> I'm not saying I hate her. I just hope she gets fingered by wolverine

This one I find hilarious. I wouldn't say it's sexist either, it's clearly targetted at a single person he doesn't like, not women in general.

> If you ever wanna know what a woman's mind feels like? Imagine a browser with 2857 tabs open, all the time.

Again, this one is just awful. It wouldn't even be funny if it wasn't sexist on top of it.

> The reason women will never be the ones to propose is because as soon as she gets on her knees, he will start unzipping.

Isn't this also sexist against men? The main joke here is the "men just can't keep their pants up" cliche.

> I'm no gynecologist, but I know a cunt when I see one.

I can totally see this being used to insult a guy. :%s/cunt/dick/<CR> and the joke still works the same, so no, not sexist.

Why did you feel the need to edit your post to include those examples?

Hang on. Do you actually believe that the author of Nodepad++ believes those things? If you don't, and you do instead agree that they are jokes (arguably in poor taste), then how can you even begin to compare this person to Front National, a political party made up of people who do believe what they say, and definitely aren't making jokes?
