I think she framed the question deliberately that way. I think she called lured the Pipsqueak right out over the plate and gave Smokin' Joe the opportunity to hit one out of the ballpark. Which he seemed very happy to do.

The takeaway was so very clear.

Smokin' Joe: My personal beliefs are my personal beliefs and I'd never even think to impose them on you.

Pipsqueak: I'll protect Beans from BAD WYMMIN (the "easy rapes," not the "legitimate rapes"*)

*edited to add the kind the got drunk at a party, slept with a Pipsqueak, woke up the next morning and screamed "AAAAIAIAIAIA!!!!!!" and ran like hell to the doctor to take a pill to prevent any beans from forming!
