Who does the previous joke offend? Are you sure you are reading the
correct one? The removed joke demeans women by describing them as
unpredictable, irrational beings. If you enjoy that kind of humor, good
for you. But hosting it the distribution of one of the flagship software
pieces of a project based on ethics if obviosly wrong.

Feminism aims for equality of the sexes. Such poison.
