For real tho, I don't think being sexist is really the point of the joke (I have no strong opinions on whether it is regardless of its intentions), but more like a parody of insults that use something people are very sensitive and protective about (aka their moms) to take meaningless jabs at them.

I agree. (I do hear people say "your dad" in jokes though)

yeah, plus swear words that a lady genitals are much worse than swear words that a man genitals.

maybe the lady part slang words are so rude that no one's ever said them around you?

umm, no, there aren't really any lady part slang words coming to my mind now except one that is more on the silly/childish level

Yeah, I don't recall any in German either, nor in Polish or Spanish, but I might be wrong about the latter. And apart from d*ckhead there's also the simple, often-used insult without the "-head." EDIT: Oh, and of coure pr*ck or kn*b. They're the best insults

I have also heard people calling girls pussy, if they are the kind of girl that are scared of everything and obsessed with their looks.
