The think the objection is that this is specifically targeted at women, and it’s something that someone might be self conscious about.
“Free coffee to shortest/tallest/skinniest/fattest man” would be also be offensive IMHO, because it’s singling out people for a trait for which they maybe don’t want to be singled out.
Crude humor is great, if all parties are in on the joke; I believe the point that parent was making was that all parties are not necessarily in on the joke.
And that’s ok you know that. Seriously. Some people actually want to be the joke. It’s not mean or malicious it’s a funny sign shop. I just wish we could all understand it’s ok to be made fun of. Life is more tolerable and enjoyable when we can laugh at ourselves and often that only comes from jokes that people have been trying to sanitize or act offended over lately…
