If a man speaks his mind in a forest, and no woman hears him, is he still wrong?

The joke with reversed roles would have been considered inappropriate by many. I dislike PC talk in general, but I also dislike the double standard... Am I right or not?

Was adopted about jokes with reversed roles. If a guy had said to just "move on" in response to a sexist joke with reversed roles, he would probably be buried with complaints about his sexism. If this is feminism, then I'm right that the goal is not equality.

While their husbands wait outside the dressing room.

"Does this dress make my ass look big?"

"Hmmm....nope, he looked to about the same size as the day you married him."
