:According to the [[WP:MANDY]], "Well, he would, wouldn't he?" is what Ms. Rice-Davis said about Lord Astor. Do you still consider it sexist if the genders are reversed? – [[User talk:Bradv|<span style="color:#333">'''brad''v'''''</span>]] 17:41, 7 December 2023 (UTC)

:"{{xt|If she were a man or an elderly woman would the joke work?}}" Yes, if you put a photoshop of [[Donald Trump]] applying suncream to himself with a witty caption, I'd probably laugh as well. I sort of get your point that ''if'' MRD was a low-profile individual subject to harassment who wanted to stay out of the limelight, then BLP and harassment concerns would be a reasonable viewpoint. But our article (backed up by reliable sources) stated she milked the attention for all that it was worth and compared herself to famous mistresses in history. You can't have it both ways.

WTF, people? It's just a really lame [[dad joke]] playing with the meaning of the word "applies" (she applies for a job, she applies sunscreen). It's not Groucho Marx, but it's certainly harmless humor and definitely not any sort of attack. If you don't think so, MFD is the right venue. – [[User:Jonesey95|Jonesey95]] ([[User talk:Jonesey95|talk]]) 16:56, 7 December 2023 (UTC)
