Also? Marketing? HR? Largely female-coded work, so you're doing the same thing, but now also showing that you don't really respect your colleagues. And yes, they are actually your colleagues, and they do notice. Punch up. The CEO will laugh too, and he can take it. If he can't, you really want to change jobs anyway.

...and please don't double down if someone lets you know it's not ok. Best case apologize, ignore it and move on if you really don't care about hurting folks you work with. Actively digging a hole for yourself only makes it worse.

@dymaxion I’m employed by a company that has a woman in the CEO chair. She’d laugh and she’d take it, but I’d still mostly pick on men in middle management because I’m 100% never going to be speaking in the same room as her.

@dymaxion My direct report, and the CEO in my company, are women. "he" would probably take it just fine, but would prefer I use the "she" pronoun.

@dymaxion Hmm! It's interesting that you're saying Marketing is female-coded. I don't think I have any such associations. (Interestingly, I tend to conflate it somewhat with Sales, which I think of as male-coded.) HR though, yes, strongly female-coded in my mind.
