Yes. I didn't mean "allowed" as in some governing body handed down a decision to allow it. I've seen huge uproar over (what I see as) pretty minor things compared to this. Yet this seems to have rolled on happy without that. I don't like to use the F-word (feminist) but how are they managing to not explode in anger over this. I truly don't get it.

What specifically do you find offensive about this? All the participants (male & female, consumers and company) are willing and eager.
I don't necessarily agree with firing people over politically incorrect jokes either, but in this case there is no party that is potentially suffering damages. I.e. in the case of misogynist jokes by an employee, the company may believe it's reputation would suffer unless mitigating action was taken.
There is no analog here ..

Two possibilities.
They either don't know about it or they don't care.
For further thought by someone "who doesn't see the problem" (me) read my other comment.
Feel free to reply to that and let me know what you think about what I have said. I think it's a practical solution to a problem.
