Whatever your feelings on Powell, she doesn’t post here; you’re not making HER uncomfortable with that kind of joke. But you do make this place more hostile to the women who ARE here. And in fact IIRC this approach at the board had been the case for a while already. ---

I agree that’s inappropriate. I just don’t think every sex joke in every context is inappropriate, sexist, or demeaning to women. But I recognize I have a high tolerance for this stuff. My friends and I, men and women alike, make ridiculous dirty jokes all the time without objectifying anyone. ---

> [@Spice\_Weasel](#): > > I agree that’s inappropriate. I just don’t think every sex joke in every context is inappropriate, sexist, or demeaning to women. We have a whole thread devoted to inappropriate outdated 'funny then, not so now" humor. I suspect a out & put racist joke might get modded, but many of the jobs are no longer politically correct. ---

That thread is iffy, but honestly by the title if you wander into that thread you should probably expect to be offended by some of the jokes. I haven’t read it as I don’t need the aggravation. There will be plenty of inappropriate jokes in it I’m sure. But it is clearly labeled and the offensive part should be pretty easy to figure out. I’m guessing that many of the jokes in it if used elsewhere would be cause for at least a modnote or a warning. Though I admit to not being sure. ---

Most of it is pretty tame. Many of the posts have led to a discussion of the historical context of jokes that are not obviously offensive to a modern audience. ---
