The "outrage" is hypocritical. The minister was insensitive to womens feelings even though he mentioned it was a joke. Now if you quote the bible which says that wives must obey their husbands or quote the koran which says that one man equals 3 women, these same outraged people will be quiet.

Insensitive yes, but not false. We all loose our appeal with age.
