She deserves to be fired for her continued public rant.

Why was the joke hilarious?

Just look around...

What does that mean? If the joke is funny you should be able to explain why. So why was it hilarious?

No you shouldn’t have to explain why. It would be like explaining why you find one hair color more attractive than another. You just have a preference in superficial looks or what jokes you find hilarious.

Bill Maher in his comments above was spot on!

Because the line from the comedian made me laugh out loud. On this very group in a discussion about a certain movie featuring Tom Cruise, a comment was made “because the men were hot.” One could call that a sexist line.

So yes I found the retweeted line laugh out loud funny. Not sexist at all just a simple observation or anecdote calling out his generalized experience. That’s what comedians do. They exaggerate their own experiences.

You may not find that joke funny, yet you, the royal you, has no problem finding the men in Top Gun Maverick hot.

Can you try again without any tangents about Tom Cruise and hot men? What exactly was funny about thus joke (and note that no comedians were involved)?

Cam Harless is absolutely a comedian and he is hilarious. If you need to be explained why, you are hopeless.

Where do I go to register as an official comedian? It is like being a journalist, I just have to own a phone?

It's refreshing to know a woman can't pull something off your social media account, bully you, and get you fired (although you have to eat a suspension it seems). Maybe Millennials will stop pretending they are too fragile to take a joke. No one could get out of bed for a journalist job if they were truly as "shocked" and depressed as this woman claimed.

Holy crap, this is 28 pages of basically the same conversation on every single page.

Yes, well, there is one woman posting repeatedly in support of Somnez and she keeps resurfacing the thread; everyone else recognizes that Somnez basically fired herself. I hope the two meet up and they can start their own mutual fan club so that they can continue to enable and validate the others craziness. The rest of us would appreciate it.

The Wiegel guy who kept his guy despite making sexist jokes on Twitter seems far worse. But I guess the WaPo would rather defend misogyny than the women who call out misogyny by their coworkers.

You have to be a misogynist to find Wiegel’s joke funny.

I believe it was a retweet. He didn't claim authorship. But, hey, continue to be fact impervious.
