So politcal correct code is mandatory. Oh boy. So if turing himself would appear at your doorstep and his code examples would be riddle with gay insider jokes and wordplay, you wouldnt hire him? Because, profesional behaviour beets a mind that recombines and is flexible any day? Good thing that relationship is bi-directional- unconventional creative guys are not searching for a job at your company.

If political correctness means not making demeaning jokes about women in your code, then yes, it's absolutely mandatory. Even if you were the most sexist business owner, it should still be obvious that behavior like this invites sexual harassment lawsuits in a professional setting. And there are plenty of people who manage to be both unconventional and creative without making a juvenile joke that amounts to little more than slut shaming women for using a dating app.

  My open source code is riddled with jokes of all kinds on all kinds of hairless monkeys. Demanding dignity you shall have none, because you got none, disserving dignity because you stumble around naked of any - you shall have. And you know- those professionals tend to have a scope-creep when it comes to professionalism. Do not talk about this its offensive, do not talk about that its offensive, do not talk about this invention, it could offend our buisness-partner XY. No, i demand the right to offend. And to be offended. Call me animal names. I prefer that much more to that mental-graveyard of smiles and conservation. Insult is preferable to insulation. Always. If the church still had power, it would be insulted by da-vincis drawing claiming that humans could handcraft angel-wings. And those intestines- what a insult. And that darwin guy, claiming we where ape-decendants. Insult upon insult. How can any professional gentleman take this kind of talk into there mouth and not demean himself. Outrageous. Take your silk-sheated scissors and censor somehwere else. Also sorry, but the whole process of human sexual interaction is demeaning, always was always will be. You have drug dealers and drug buyers, trades that go bust, and the attempt to cram the whole messy affair into contracts that should outlast the varous value-curves the trade-goods in the relationship perform. Its hillarious and hellirious. To not joke about this existential absurdity is to not be a selfaware human.

Obviously you don't want to work in a PC culture so you can just avoid those workplaces.

We just don't find it funny. So, forgive us if we don't laugh while you continue exercising your right to free speech, and we can continue living side-by-side.

      I think it depends on the kind of code. If it's some random experiement done in private away from work for personal exploration then I'd be sort okay to see such demeaning comments in the name of free speech. Professional Work is a no-no.

Pretty sure it'd be grounds for a sexual harassment lawsuit if someone started littering their code with offenses directed at women. It's discrimination based on sex and against the law to make the workplace favor one sex. You may not like that trampling of your free speech rights, but there you have it. We agreed as a society to allow women to enjoy the right to earn their own wages in whatever line of work they choose. Good thing too. There are some super smart women out there who have contributed a lot. Can't believe this needs to be said in 2017 but here we are.

  I never claimed there are not and they should not. And they can make jokes on men, woman, the elderly and especially me too. Its great.

    Okay, well if you agree that it'd be sexual harassment, I guess color me surprised. I thought you would be leaning against the "affirmative actions" of the courts and would feel it should be legal. I assume there are jokes that would get under your skin. Perhaps white privilege. If not, maybe you'd rather we lived in a more combative society. Personally I don't. We need to work from today's society's expectation of civility

      Im would very much prefer a "combatative society" as you call it, one where a philosopher is free to challenge any idea, no matter how holy of a cow it is declared. Where the protection of any feeling whatsoever is not used as a battering ram against debate. I rather be in a shouting match with someone who violently disagrees and gives me new perspectives, then in a society that silent threats any disagreement to death. To be a adult in my opnion means, to be able to handle a rough outside world that constantly atttacks any firm believe i hold. To utilize courts as a artifical replacement parent to create a protected environment, from facts, from ideas, from the very reality of hostility - that breaks down, once not enough economic shield energy is left- what good is that for. There is after all still the ability, to stop hugging the cactee, turn off that source of media, sit on a meditating pillow and softly shake your head until the arguments to drive back that opposing view emerge from the subconcious stream. I want a fightcloub of thoughts, insults are great, if they reveal something on the human condition, on what the person im dealing with really thinks and why it its that way and what society can do to realy change that. Not some ilusion of peace at paper-gunpoint, but a real understanding of what we made of allowing for real advances. Not this potemking village of civility, that falls apart at the first twitter huff and puff.
