What's most interesting is that sexist jokes had more effect than straightforward sexist statements. I'm guessing that the plain statement are heard with an element of "blah, blah, blah, more theory", while jokes are a real indicator of how people feel.

I think it's more that statements are things that people consider - saying them out loud brings people's cognitive processes into action. Jokes, on the other hand, slide in under the radar.
