diminoten's submission as it was when I found it:

I'd like to have a discussion about what's appropriate and what isn't.

I think we can all agree that sexism is still a huge problem in the world, with women being abused in relationships more than men, women being paid less than men to perform the same jobs, and women even being quoted at a higher price when looking to purchase a vehicle. Anyone who says that sexism is dead in the 21st century is wrong.

My question then, and the discussion I'd like to have, is where comedy fits into this topic. Should gender issues be off-limit to comedy, entirely? Should we lighten up, and recognize Poe's Law when we see it? Is there a middle ground that can be reached? Is racism a good comparison, or is it a different beast entirely?

I just want to know where other people draw the line, and maybe we can come to some kind of agreement towards what's appropriate and what's not.

Edit: I would also like to try and have a logical, reasoned conversation about this topic. It's a topic that can churn many emotions, so let's try to stay civil if possible. Also, let's remember the Reddiquette when voting on comments in this thread.
