    If Woody's legions of feminist supporters heard this "joke," which makes light of his ex-wife Louise Lasser's rape, from anyone else (well, except Bill Clinton), they'd be calling for his castration and execution, not necessarily in that order. But the
    Woodman gets a pass.


    Just for the record, the crack wasn't about Allen's first wife - not Louise Lasser, who was his second wife and with whom he later worked.

    His first wife, whom he was joking about, was Harlene Rosen.
