The word you were looking for is misogynistic[^].

Don't you mean true? It really is unfortunate, that so many stereo types are not based on any particular -ism but anecdotal observations from our daily life. Being behind another person in the ATM is an exercise in frustration as you watch the individual perform many actions completely unrelated to the task at hand, completely oblivious to the line. To add insult to injury I am surprised I haven't been in an accident an ATM, my bank has a drive through with two ATM machines, thus two lines. I am not even surprised any more at how many people accelerate without looking and then honk at me for being in "their" way causing "them" to slam on the brakes.
But, yeah, it isn't just women.

The original complaint about the joke was that it was racist, which doesn't make sense as the joke never mentioned race. The joke was misogynistic.
That being said, I've had my share of encounters with morons in the ATM lane at my bank. I've never noticed a preponderence of women over men, however.

He was making a funny. He did not mean racist literally.

Given the quality of the Lounge humor in recent months, that comes as a surprise.

There was a point not long ago where everything was racist. Probably had something to do with Obama getting elected, I can't recall but if you said anything bad about anyone people would say your racist. It's just a joke. I'm surprised people didn't see that.

Don't thank him. You are supposed to accuse him of a hidden racist agenda there.

That is racist. Voting for Obama was racist? Hm. I might agree.

I think he was going for a joke there [intentionally using 'racist' in non-race contexts, including gender-ones, is a common troll tactic in forums]

What race does this joke denigrate?

He's joking. Intentional abuse of the word 'racist'.

OK, I get it now. I must have missed the spate of "That's racist." comments, hence my confusion.

Well, I didn't see many recently either. But it's a general trend online, specially on sites like reddit. Pretty much any disagreement is met with a "that's racist" response.

Ah. Never been to Reddit.

The human race.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Along with Antimatter and Dark Matter they've discovered the existence of Doesn't Matter which appears to have no effect on the universe whatsoever!
