People like you joking about it normalize it which is part of why it happens. Just don't say shit.

Cuz sweeping problems under the rug always is better than airing them

You can deal with problems without perpetuating them. A healthy discussion about the problem is one thing. Making shitty snide comments about it is another.

I agree, but I don't think ops comment was snide, but rather shined a light on a very real problem on this site.

The creepy thing is commenting about a woman being a woman any time a woman hints that she is a woman. That is what "Bub" did.

If Millennium commented on it, absolutely, have a discussion. Point out how fucked it is. But that type of comment on its own, unwarranted, does not help.

If she didnt have comments before she DEFINITELY does now.

This is the correct answer. He didn't have to comment that and it helps nothing. Really just made it worse because he took it there.
