Nope. Still sexist, like assuming that a woman can do
all of those things.

The quote wasn't referring to a particular woman.  It
was using the term as a categorical, which as you say,
is offensive.

What I'm oversensitive about is how much bandwidth
we've wasted on something so ridiculous.  Marco has
long since apologized (at least to Ava) for his
remarks, so can't we all just accept that they were in
poor taste?  Can someone please mock improvisation so
we can get back to our regularly scheduled flamewar?
