Whilst it may be unacceptable in the current day, the way Johnson expresses himself and is largely harmless. He is an archetype of privately educated men who speak this way.
The problem is he often strays into language that can easily be used against him eg: calling Muslim women wearing the burka as ‘letterboxes or bank robbers’ which I found quite funny, but is easily used against him.
His career is littered by such loose language, he can’t help himself. In this instance one can quickly suggest traits of misogyny; He will make many language gaffes on the election trail and it will cost him his premiership.
How on earth is that remotely funny?
