> Sexist jokes make sexist people think that sexism is ok

Well, duh. Good to see it written up, though!

One blah: I wish they didn't try to divide things up into "sexism" and "non-sexism". In a sexist culture, it's hard for any act to be 0% sexist.

Instead, there's a spectrum of behaviour which contributes to a sexist culture or improves it, where "not doing anything" leans towards contributing since it preserves the sexist status quo.
