What culture is that?
Your blatant avoidance of answering the question is most revealing.

What culture is that?
Anarchy. Without a shred of respect or social responsibility.The person poking fun, critiquing, scrutinizing, and or holding the contempt.
It is then up to others to agree with or disagree with the person poking fun, critiquing, scrutinizing, and or holding the contempt.
He has yet to name the culture.He has a valid point, so if you can't answer the question then we're left with no choice but to dismiss your statement.
"Sexist" isn't a culture. It's an attitude. So are "racist" and "supremacist."How about a sexist culture? There are plenty of those.

So, what are your feelings about making fun of religions?
Right back at ya.Bull ****.
Sexism may be a cultural value, but it's not a culture in and of itself.With respect, that seems to me to be a stretch. Sexism involves ideologies, views, and behaviors that seem demonstrably part of some society's cultural heritage. After all, in anthropological terms, "culture" is learned behavior passed down from one generation to the next. Sexism very much seems to be, at least in part, learned behavior passed down from one generation to the next.

Sure. British culture, Navajo culture, Japanese culture.Can you give an example of a culture in and of itself?
I don't think "making fun" accomplishes anything particularly productive. But if you must, make fun of the sexism, but not the culture in which sexism is found. Otherwise, you'd be making fun of most every culture -- including your own.I get the impression that you've forgotten what you were arguing. Is it your position that it's wrong to make fun of a sexist culture because of its sexism?
But the isolated behaviors, themselves, do not constitute the culture in the broader sense. "Having tea" is a learned behavior of the British culture. But the British culture is larger than simply "having tea.""Value"? Sexism can be legitimately seen as a set of behaviors that are largely cultural. Go back to the anthropological definition of culture, please: "Any learned behavior passed down from one generation to the next." Are you really prepared to argue that sexism cannot be not cultural? Or that it's only a "value"?
It seems that in some societies it's ok to make fun of religions while it is not ok in other societies. So, what are your feelings about making fun of religions? Would a legal or informal prohibition on making fun of religions in your society amount to according religions a special status that few, if any, other institutions in your society are accorded? Would a legal or informal prohibition be a good thing? Why or why not?
Should there by any limits -- legal or informal -- on how much or what kind of fun can be made of religions?
