ALERTER'S COMMENTS
Blatant misogyny posing as humor. Not the sort of thing I expect to find at DU.
You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Wed Aug 26, 2015, 02:56 PM, and the Jury voted 2-5 to LEAVE IT.
Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Bummer, you drew one misogynist asshole for your jury. I found it funny even though I knew the punchline from the get-go. Get a life.
Juror #2 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: Well, this sexist piece of shit "joke" is obnoxious. I'd half expect this in the Men's Group, but this is in the Pets Group? Even worse. Women aren't pets.
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Alerter needs to get a sense of humor. This Craigslist Ad is several years old and has been floating around the net for quite a while. Just because they guy wrote a tongue in cheek ad, does not mean it is misogyny. Not every poke or humorous item regarding women (or men, for that matter) means the writer hates them. Lighten the hell up.
"Not the sort of thing I expect to find at DU"
Yeah? Well, there was a time when the members here had a damned sense of humor and didn't get offended at the slightest drop of a hat.
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: This is the Pets board, this alert is over the top!
Juror #6 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #7 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Legit satire. We need thicker skin at DU. The poster isn't the alleged misogynist.
