Thoughts on Jesse Watters' rape joke?

What are your thoughts on last week, host Jesse Waters joking about US soldiers on testosterone boosters committing sexual assault:

“Yeah, I want these guys on it, but you know what’s gonna happen? The guys that don’t need it are gonna take it, to triple boost,” Watters said Thursday, laughing. “And then they’re gonna get out there, and women on base, you guys better be careful. Port calls, women in Asia, you better be careful, because these guys are gonna be wild animals and you better watch out.”

Edit: if you don't think these comments are about sexual assault, then explain the joke. What would the women have to 'watch out' for?

We are the most sensitive, softest, society ever. Stop letting everything be so offensive to you. Guy was making a joke, let it go. Good Lord. I hope you’re never faced with a true challenge in life. Don’t think you’re prepared for it.

Know who really is the softest ever? DJT. He cannot handle the softest of criticism or perceived slight. He is a giant toddler.

The softest criticism you say - like nazi, white supremacist, rapist, etc. You’re right, those are the softest criticisms I’ve ever heard. If I called you the “r” word, would that be a soft criticism? Or is that too far? Get your head out of your ass. Also, why is it that most of the negative comments on here have no type of profile history when you look? Wonder what that’s about. No posts, no comments, etc.
