Wrong. The joke was not sexist in any way - to call it so is a deliberate misrepresentation of the situation.

There are varying definitions of the word sexist that complicate the issue -- but here it doesn't matter!

Because Adria didn't call them sexist, certainly not in the twitter or blog posts I've read. She just said it made her uncomfortable.

She made allegations of harassment and alluded to gender issues. Most people accept that "sexism" was at issue here, and she herself doesn't dispute this. There's no sense in nitpicking on minor semantics.

Ok, so tell that to the folk upthread who started using exactly that set of semantics as part of their attack on Adria. ("The joke was not sexist in any way".)

This is about how she portrayed the events.

She accused them of being sexist, referring to the action as harassment and calling the individuals involved "assclowns".

I don't really see how the joke is sexist either, but that's not really the issue here.

As far as I can tell the jokes were anatomical, at worse sexual. I find myself unable to bend my mind into seeing them as sexist.
