You have no idea what it's like to be a woman in technology, I'll bet, and your attitude is very indicative of this.

What relevant facts do you believe I am unaware of, and how do those facts invalidate my reasoning?

Note that accusations of ignorance without actually demonstrating it usually fall into the realm of ad-hominem (i.e., a logical fallacy).

I'm not quite sure what point you're trying to make about cultural things - you seem to be advocating some sort of moral relativism, is that correct?

I'm not advocating any particular moral beliefs, you are.

I'm suggesting that the best way to understand these American attitudes on jokes/etc is to merely treat them as an American/western cultural/moral value rather than look for a logical basis for them. I.e., the same thing I'd suggest to Americans asking about Indian attitudes towards unwed mothers.
