Don't get me wrong, I don't think that he was degrading, and any woman who can't stand up for herself in those situations doesn't deserve to be out in public in the first place. Still, it's been drilled into us for going on a decade or more that those kinds of jokes are not well tolerated by the prissy sort, and they overwhelmingly have the courts and the government agencies who oversee that sort of thing on their side, right or wrong, like it or not. So with all of that in mind I find it hard to believe that anyone who deals with the public in any capacity in this day and age would still openly play those games, let alone be shocked when some idiot takes offense. Plus, it is a crazy world out there, and for every innocent yet tactless guy who makes a comment like that there could also be a weirdo with other ideas.
