Well, the dongle joke was kind of a play on the word "dong" as euphemism for penis. So it had some vague allusion to sexual content, but you're absolutely right that it had nothing to do with sexism. The real sexists are the people - including the distinguished Miss Richards who initially reported the joke - who presume that women are such delicate little flowers that they can't exist in an environment for adults, where people occasionally make jokes that are unsuitable for kindergarten kids.
