I feel like this isn't an "American" vs. "European" thing. There's clearly a lot of controversy over the seriousness of these jokes in America and elsewhere.

You could be right but I'm not sure I've heard it discussed much in a British setting.
In fairness you don't hear many dongle/large feet type jokes but I think that's because they are crude, not really funny, and not really suitable for a professional environment.
Having said that I don't think I've ever heard anyone linking them directly to sexism.
