If a woman said something equally offensive about men on the air, that Don Imus said about the women's basketball league, would it still be wrong???

It would be wrong, but the fact is that the women would get away with it and any man who complained would be told to "grow up it's only a joke." It's the same when Blacks or other minorities say something offensive about whites.
However... we shouldn't get so sensitive that we can't see the real humor in the relationships between men and women and between the different ethnic groups. Some of it can be real funny. We all need to "Lighten Up" and realize that some times people will say something stupid when they are just trying to be funny.

It would be wrong but no one would care and it wouldn't be a big deal.
Have you ever noticed that when there is a Public Service Announcement or commercial on tv that involves a bad guy, the guy is always white? That's because it's the only race that you can use without someone getting bent out of shape about stereotyping.

If there really funny about it. As for Don I don't get why anyone would want to listen to him in the first place. He's just another old goat blow hard to me. Not worth looking at not worth listening too.

Women make comments like that all the time on the radio.

Yes, it is wrong. But just look at television commercials, it happens with amazing regularity.

Do I think it would be okay? No. Do I think she would be more likely to get away with it? Yes.
