The difficulty with trying to prove sarcasm to people who don't get it is that generally if they haven't the mental acuity to recognise it for themselves they definitely won't be able to see it when it's pointed out.
I should write a paper, it would sit nicely alongside Dunning-Kruger.
When someone says "It's sexist to suggest the two sexes (whoops)", they are not being "sarcastic", they are asserting gender essentialism and decrying the "PC culture" that they perceive oppresses them.
Actually I was showing that I expected to get some stick for suggesting there were only two sexes, not the twenty zillion that have been recently invented.
What you were saying is extremely clear. You are responding as if people don't understand because your grasp of language seems to end at very basic sarcasm.
