I'm not a woman, but my response in the past has always been: "Jeez, I wouldn't even joke about that." You can be friendly and still express disapproval. Context does matter, women do have more latitude in making that kind of joke, but it still isn't something I like having reinforced (lots of people suck at context). Why would they do it on-purpose/non-ironically/non-sarcastically? I've also known women to do it thinking that it will help them fit in. To be one of the guys. It really sucks to be excluded. Women can also behave badly just like men do. If you work in a sexist environment, you can pick up those attitudes and become tone-deaf. Maybe they don't realize how much it can hurt other women to reinforce that sort of idea.
