Sexism is discrimination or prejudice based on a person's sex. Adria Richards' original tweet otoh only mentioned jokes and puns with a sexual connotation. Not every dirty joke is sexist, and not every sexist comment involves sexuality, and people should stop talking about sexism when they really mean obscenity.
Case in point: this is dirty, but not sexist (indeed, it's arguably feminist). This otoh is sexist, but not dirty.
