Maybe there was a less offensive one I could have come up with if I had more time, but I have bean very busy with work and packing. My words were meant as humor, not as an attack- I come in Peas.

But I take your point about the joke and am not in need of an apology about your welcome interjection. I don’t like the term chick and not in that context.

I'll grant you it may not be very funny, but its certainly not an insult to women. It calls attention to, and ridicules, the uber-masculine pretensions of our former president and exposes them f0r the grotesque buffoonery they actually are. Please forgive me for interjecting myself into this conversation, but I believe the distinction is a valid one and must be stressed. that’s a joke about dudes, especially over-testosteroned, super-macho ones like Donald Trump.
