I know, right?
Jay acts like she's better than everyone else simply because she's a chick.
I hope she chokes to death.

You're being ridiculous if you think everyone here is posting 100% serious all the time.
Nothing should be done about it because there is nothing wrong with making jokes about any one gender. Threats in PMs are different and should not be tolerated.Oh, people joke around. Absolutely! They do that in real life, too. Nobody is serious 100% of the time.
But my point is that some things just aren't jokes. In the same way that I would never poke fun at someone who was born disabled or black or LGBT or anything else that they can't change, I don't think it's acceptable to poke fun at people based on their gender. That's just...not a joke. There's nothing funny about it.
But by all means, laugh at me for my choice of hobbies, football teams, favourite books, music, whatever. There's a difference.

Oh really? You made the statement, therefore the burden of proof is upon you to provide a credible sociological source stating that people who make sexist jokes on the internet come from the same culture as people who enslaved someone based on their race.
Also, who gives a -blam!- if you don't think they're funny? Does that mean you deserve the right to deny the satisfaction that other people may derive from the joke?Uh...we're all living in contemporary Western culture right now - at least, I am, and I assume you are. It's a culture that, especially online, is unfortunately fraught with undertones of bigotry and hate against many different groups of people. Unless you literally live on a different planet, you can prove this by going outside. :P
