I don't see any major problem that needs to be addressed. Looking at Galaki's post and the rules you posted, his post clearly didn't break the rules; it was simply a play on the arrangement of letters. If you want to make the point that there's a problem with women-targeted insults, then you have given a poor example. I cannot understand why anyone would be insulted by the mere mention of PMS especially in an open-forum. That's probably the best example of overreaction I could find.
You say this thread isn't about Galaki's post but a bigger problem with people making jokes that target women. Perhaps you can list a more appropriate example (preferrably multiple)? Because I don't think there's been a major problem with insults directed at women and you example has not changed that. Sure, there are a lot of sexual jokes on here, but there's nothing insulting about them. They may be sensitive topics, but there's no rule against discussing sensitive topics.
Moreover, these sexually themed jokes are "directed" at men as often, if not more, as to women. So unless you can demonstrate reason to believe that women are specifically targeted more than man, you shouldn't try to say there's a problem with women jokes specifically. You instead should say you have a problem with all sexual jokes, regardless of gender. If that is the point you're trying to make, then good luck to you; many people will disagree (myself included). If it turns out that women in general have a problem with sexual jokes, then to them I say...tough titties. Either deal with it or get out because it's not changing. Sex jokes are intrinscally associated with th our forum and there's nothing wrong with them either.

Some people in here have also claimed that there's been a problem with people badmouthing religion. I don't think this is a major problem here either. There's nothing wrong with expressing your beliefs even if that means constructively criticizing other people's belief. Of course there's a problem with explicitly stating that someone is of a lower intellectual capacity for their beliefs, but I have not noticed much of a problem with that. There has been a lot of criticism for religion on here, but I don't have a problem with that in itself.
I have actually been more disturbed by the opposite; I've noticed more religious users on here who seem to want to censor any sort of discussion of religion, as if such a topic is different from any other topic. I have seen quite a few of them entering perfectly legit threads trying to prevent discussion of their "sacred" subject. I think we need to end any sort of feelings that any sort of topic is too special to be discussed. That's bogus. There should be nothing inherently wrong with discussing any particularly topic.
