The pervasive sexism in our profession is a serious problem,

Sex jokes do not imply sexism. They can form a part of it, but
I do not see evidence of that in this community at all.
I agree that this community doesn't seem unhealthy; and also
that, in general, sex jokes aren't necessarily a sign of sexism.
But I also think it's smart to establish a wide margin on
community practice. Correcting small, potentially harmful
behaviours sets a boundary, and avoids having to deal with
larger, certainly-harmful behaviours later on.
There are plenty of appropriate forums for sex jokes on the
Internet, we can surely live without them here.
