Hey,   I don't care one way or the other.  I've seen/heard  things that would
even make the most hedonistic or free thinking type shudder. 
I was just making an observation based on experience working in mostly male 
environments.  In general these things don't really worry me at all mostly
because I *don't* have an inferiority complex.

I, too, have quite a sense of humour and can identify true sarcasm, irony and
wit very quickly, some things your post was lacking.
