How are jokes about 'forking' exclusively disparaging toward women? These are jokes about sexuality, which, last time I checked, women only hold a 50% stake in.Are these more or less disparaging towards women, than jokes about socks down pants are towards men? [1]
Are jokes about socks in pants less about penises than jokes about big dongles? I'm confused.
How about retweeting cracks about autism? [2], or innuendo of dollar bills being 'six inches long' [3] -- this implies a sexuality that others may not be comfortable with.
As a developer, I find your jokes about the social awkwardness of other developers to be offensive. [4] (Am I overreacting because you used the hashtag of Joke? Is that what these guys were missing?)
Or is it okay to be sexist and offensive if it's done via twitter?
