Even commenting on this could be hazardous to one's health!
I'm with Allan, I wouldn't touch this on a bet!!!

...and with one click of the mouse his witness to the female gender suffered a major setback...

Some people insist on throwing themselves upon stumbling blocks of their own creation.
Another thought surfacing: isn't amazing how much emotional manipulation there is the Church disguised in Christianese?
I'm gradually learning that I can't let people push an "I'm Angry" button and get whatever they want from me, or the church. The DS here, Wayne Wyatt, spoke here along those lines a couple of weeks ago. Effective pastors (or anything else) can't be doormats under the shoes of the too-easily offended.
...while others are oblivious to sensitivities outside of their own experiences...
Jokes of this nature can be funny, but this has a degrading spirit about it. I pray you would see where I am coming from.
If you have a complaint against me, have the courage to leave anonymity.
Or are you ashamed of your own remarks?
I think anonymity may be part of the issue. I don't think anyone would be unwise enough to read that joke from the pulpit. Much less if a DS was present. I think that says a lot about the joke.
You can have the last word if you want, but then I say lets let it go.
A member of my BOOM reads my blog. So I'm held accountable.
How about you? Or do you only snipe from hiding?
Can't we all just get along?

Don't you know that it's forbidden in the Discipline to poke fun at women and to do so means immediate excommunication from the UMC. They are a protected species. At least I think it must be that way considering how some react.
Now, if you were to turn that around and make humorous comments about males and you'll earn the admiration of many and are well on your way to being a bishop.
Oh yeah, I forgot this is supposed to be a caption contest. Here's my entry:

Yeah. I guess my previous caption contest is offensive to Pentecostals and hurts my witness with them.
FWIW....
I have seen a male version of this. I thought that it was just as funny and did not perceive a "degrading spirit" with either.
