Lighten up, I didn't mean it, I didn't intend to upset you, so it must be ok!

What I said is that where I live its not like this. Girls wouldn't make a fuss about this, and would probably make more sexual jokes then guys actually. So yes maybe in comparison you guys need to lighten up as a society or something.
Making/enjoying sexual jokes in the right context and finding other sexual jokes sexist are not mutually exclusive.
