Or one could take the remarkable point of view that you could do both. But then, it's so much easier being self-righteous, isn't it? Look -- a lot of folks may think that Jocelyn is going overboard about this, but even though I recognized that the video was a parody/homage, I did think that some might find it sexist. It's a valid (but arguable beef).
