“I just removed a retweet of an offensive joke. I apologize and did not mean to cause any harm,” Weigel said.

Never apologize - it didn't work for the victims of Mao's Cultural Revolution, it's not going to work here.

A reporter interviews a 2000-year-old man

Reporter: “is it true you had over nine hundred wives in your life?”

2000 y/o Man: “Indeed”

Reporter: “out of all your wives, which one was your favorite?”

2000 y/o Man: “Hmmm… Shirley. Definitely Shirley.”

Reporter: “And what made Shirley so special?”

2000 y/o Man: “Her friend Tammy.”

His statement should have read: “It’s a joke. Suck it up, buttercup.”

Never apologize to the left.

Evil cannot stand to be mocked.

Weigel couldn’t wiggle out of this one.

This is what happens when you forget for a split second that you are supposed to be woke. LOL

I’m a girl and I didn’t think it was offensive. I’ve heard way worse.

This reporter’s problem is that he works for a publication whose readership is offended by that humor.

He either needs to accept the constraints on his expression or work for a publication that appreciates his humor.

He should have made it about a man and everything would have been fine.

“Every girl is bi. You just have to figure out if it’s polar or sexual.”

Every WOMAN is bi. You just have to figure out if it’s polar AND/or sexual.

There, fixed it.

Not really. Men and Women are equally at risk of bipolar disorder:

“Most studies, but not all, report an almost equal gender ratio in the prevalence of bipolar disorder ... “

https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-1-d&q=prevalence+of+biipolar+disorder+by+sex

Women are more at risk of depression (and maybe the joke taps into this risk).

https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-1-d&q=prevalence+of+depression+by+sex

Without a reference, I’ll just point out that men are more at risk of schizophrenia.

ON THE OTHER HAND bisexuality (defined only as attraction, not necessarily as behavior) IS more prevalent among women

Women 50 percent
Men 20 percent

see p. 10 of

http://i2.cdn.turner.com/cnn/2016/images/01/06/nhsr88.pdf

BTW I think a suspension is fine if this is a first offense.
