Dave Weigel has been on Twitter since 2008, and only with the Washington Post since 2015. I don't view his tweets as reflecting Washington Post standards. But if they don't want to be associated with silly jokes about women, I guess they don't have to keep him as a contributor. I will continue to follow his work and his jokes. I'm less inclined to keep up my subscription to the Post.

Agreed, and I still don't get why so many readers see this only as a "silly joke about women," and not more as "a joke about silly men."
It could be either or both.
Thank you!
