I agree with you, Snopes is still right though. If somebody came right out and said that there would be hell to pay. Maybe not publicly but they'd be at best ostracized...

I was surprised that Snopes would say this, given the owners' usually obvious left bias: "...this anecdote illustrates in a humorous way the difference between having the ability to do something and allowing that ability to dictate one's life choices." But they had to spoil it with "...if an armed forces spokesperson gave voice to a sexist remark likening a female interviewer to a prostitute in a public interview, that officer would soon be called upon to make a very public apology as well as face charges within ranks for conduct unbecoming." I see nothing "sexist" in the story, the fictitious military officer simply objected to the fictitious reporter's prejudiced statement by comparing it to another prejudiced statement which she wouldn't agree with.
