It's two very different issues to argue about a) whether "dirty word" DYKs drive off women (I'm on record on Jimbo's talk as thinking that's silly), and b) whether "dirty word" DYKs are puerile and not as good a type of joke as we should be doing, if we want to do jokes (which appears to be basically Jimbo's stance, and which I agree with). Yes, toilet and sex humor is juvenile, but I don't think it's a female-repelling type of juvenilia. And whether it is or not, we can probably do better when it comes to April Fool's, anyway.
