One 'day' in heaven, St. Peter goes out in front of the Pearly Gates and sees two signs.
One sign says 'stand here all ye men who were hen-pecked by their wives'.
8 million souls stand lined up by this sign.
The other sign says 'stand here all ye men who were not hen-pecked by their wives'.
Riley stands alone by this sign.
St. Peter goes over to Riley and says, "Riley, why are ye standing here by yourself?".
Riley says, "My wife told me to."
yeah, it reminds me of the joke where the wife says, "I wouldn't even BE at the pearly gates if my husband hadn't beaten me to death for telling him to pick up his stinking underwear from the shower floor." this sexist stuff is hilarious! especially when it has ZERO bearing on the topic at hand!
You need to chill the fuck out. Ok so the joke was bound to offend someone but it's mildly offensive at best. The notion that "all wives hen peck" is a dumb and outdated generalisation but this woman, at least for me, seems to fit the stereotype.
I saw a rather shrill woman telling her husband saying "tell them about this, tell them about that", "that's not true", interrupting him when he talked and when she did say "let me speak" I 'd say it was purely for the benefit of the camera. This interview along with the earlier written piece do, in my opinion, present a woman with a high degree of control over her husband and probably driving this whole 'thing' with Randy going along for the ride.
But yeah you're right, I was somehow making light of domestic violence FFS
