Given that HN reacted to a lamenting of an unfunny, sexist joke by (a) explaining it&#x27;s a joke to me to apologize for the content, (b) reacting to a punch down joke by punching up with another joke to &quot;balance the scales&quot; (itself ironic given the imbalance I&#x27;m decrying), (c) casting my remarks as character assassination to apologize for the content, (d) implying that I need to &quot;feel better&quot; for calling out casual sexism, and (e) explaining that an offensive stereotype of women is &quot;not particularly offensive&quot; I think I&#x27;m pretty satisfied that I&#x27;ve contributed what I can and now I&#x27;ll wait for this thread to be a slide in someone&#x27;s deck.<p>I feel fine and this is one of those cases where I know I&#x27;m right, I&#x27;m comfortably on the correct side of this, and I do not require external validation. If you find yourself reacting negatively to what I&#x27;ve written, you should consider whether you&#x27;re part of the problem as well. (Hint: Probably.)
