It's difficult to decide what should be deemed sexist and what shouldn't.
For example, if someone tells a woman that she can't do something because of her gender, or if a man is ridiculed for showing emotion - that's sexist.
When it comes to humour, it's a difficult line to walk. At what point does having a laugh trivialise real issues? I don't know.

Lucy Dunn, editor of The Pool, posted the following Tweet after finding the birthday card inappropriate.
She wrote: "Happy birthday to any woman who 'deigns' to have a drink on their birthday. Found this in my local card shop @ClintonsTweet #disgusting."
Clintons has now said that it'll remove the card from its stores. The company tweeted: "Dear Lucy, we sincerely apologise for any offence caused.

"We have received confirmation from our buying team, that all stores will remove this card from sale tomorrow."
Nan Savages Grandson With Inadvertent Savagery
Old people sure can be savage when they want to be.

The amount of times my nan would say something awful without realising it was pretty hilarious. Actually, now I think about it - she probably meant it.
To be fair, that's the best thing about being old. You can say whatever the fuck you want and get away with it. Who's going to tell you off? You have years of experience above everyone else. Plus, you can stop giving them Werther's Originals. No-one wants to give up that kind of privilege.
Anyway, this all brings me on to Henry Fraser, who recently got this birthday card from his gran...
His gran clearly thought she was sending a card that spelled out her grandson's best qualities - "terrific, wonderful, awesome, tremendous."

However, when you put the initial letters of those words together they spell out one four-lettered word: TWAT.
Henry, a disabled mouth artist, posted the picture on Twitter. He wrote: "Got this birthday card from my grandma. The sentiment is beautiful, but she didn't realise what the card was trying to say!"
He also appeared to refute the idea she intentionally sent him the card, adding: "It made my day! I wouldn't have the heart to tell her."
You never know mate, like I said before, these elderly people don't mince their words.
