The difference is that working in porn is a choice to make yourself a sex-object, while objectifying women with sexist jokes is not a choice by the people affected (women). To retain the same context, it would be the difference between choosing to work in porn vs. that choice being made for you.

So if the woman in the jokes was assumed to be a specific woman that said she was OK with it, then the jokes would be all good?

"Don't worry, these jokes/pictures/movies don't apply to you specifically. They don't affect my atitudes or emotions towards you at all."

Really?
