Yeah I guess that was a cheap response, but with some validity :-) There's a big difference between making race/sex jokes with people who realise you are being ironic + actually have no problem with it (I emphasise actually!), vs. when you are actually demeaning someone and they are __in the room__ at the time. There's definitely a big problem with sexism in our industry (+ elsewhere too clearly.) A thought experiment: somebody gets up on stage and presents a slide saying 'so simple that even blacks can use it!' There's a degree to which in any society where it's ok to make 'jokes' or comments with an edge, when the group in question is to some degree subjugated. That still remains the case with women to a large degree, far less so race (at least openly in the west), and 100% is the case with weight. It's worth stopping and taking a look at that.
