The thing that strikes me is that if you actually pay attention to the joke, if you’re from Wales, I could understand the offense, but gender has nothing to do with it. What if the vet were a woman and said that about her husband? The joke doesn’t refer to all women, and it doesn’t associate all women to cows. It is referring to being from Wales. People just look for things to take offense to these days.

In the version shared in this blog, it's the husband who's the stereotype.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6194583.post-90055043697687745322019-07-31T14:37:30.002-05:002019-07-31T14:37:30.002-05:00Maybe Bob Cordle's sense of humor was affected...Maybe Bob Cordle's sense of humor was affected by several things: a) he attended an all men's college (it was then), Davidson, where he was co-captain of the football team (I was a contemporary and I learned a lot of raunchy jokes and songs, many sacrilegious, there); b) he's 78 years old for heaven's sake, his repertoire of funny stories was no doubt learned generations ago; c) he (like the Governor, like Jimmy Carter, etc.) has taught Sunday School for years, and he has served on a number of civic boards since retiring from a white shoe law firm in Charlotte. <br />One inappropriate joke should not negate a long record of service. <br />But he was right to step down.

For all the people saying that this was ok, I hate to think of how they behave at their workplace! There is a reason the entire #MeToo movement happened, and this points to it directly. Women should not have to be subjected to this type of caveman behavior when they are simply trying to do their job.

Maybe it's OK when the boys go get cigars and brandy on the porch, but this is a political position in which INTELLIGENT people should be THINKING about what the heck they say because it is all public. Why would we want such an ill-informed and out of touch person to chair our election commission? I'm glad he resigned.
