For the record, I am saying exactly that. You can make all the hillary jokes you want. make them all day. I have. but I still like her, I still don't feel that she would be a bad candidate because of her gender and I'm still very pro woman. All jokes marginalize someone. saying you can't tell jokes about women without marginalizing women is true. You do make fun of them *in the context of the joke*. of course you do.
the point is, that's not wrong. it's when you move outside the context of the joke and take that idea seriously that you are doing something wrong.
