Are we not past the era of “it’s just a joke” yet? It was malicious. Nobody writes a response like that without the intention that is clear on its face. He 100% intended it as a crass, chauvinistic putdown for a woman that “dared” to express her opinion. He absolutely needs a reality check, but he is also a piece of shit that just sees women as walking incubators for him. Let’s not waste oxygen defending him from that core aspect of his character.
Anybody with any intelligence is for sure past the “it’s just a joke” era because they understand the context of such comments and how they have been and still are used for control & suppression of woman’s voices by giving them pause next time they might speak up. Unfortunately there are still people that are either so thick as to not understand this, of such low intelligence that it does not even register or are willfully and actively using these methods of abuse and supression themselves. Sadly some of them have a lot of power, money and reach. Others are just pathetic, sad, losers that have zero clout and just rant on forums about how “it’s just a joke”. Either way they need to be called out for it!
This is the type of shit that’ll get you fired from a job. But CEOs can say it without losing their position or their popularity among their weirdo fans.
It is certainly a form of bullying/sexual harassment, not unlike guys whistling and making cat-calls to women walking down the street except this was far more personal.

So, a mean joke.

“… he needs to get his teeth kicked in. I’m not advocating violence, …”
You are advocating the need for violence rather than advocating violence itself. That is a clever argument.

Isn’t this just sexual harassment? I hope that at least if they ever end up in the same venue her security keeps his creepy stalker ass away.

His brother tried around how he was harming Teslas brand image and he didn’t listen.
Oooh I remember the teeth-kicking-in comment!
