"The joke circulated online lists reasons men and women were like computers, including that men were like computers because 'in order to get their attention, you have to turn them on.' Women were like computers because 'even your smallest mistakes are stored in long-term memory for later retrieval. "

Seriously, at worst it's a unfunny sterotype ridden set of jokes ( for those that live an humourless universe) that gently pokes fun at traits of men and women.
I could see it MIGHT rise to harassment if it were part of a daily avalanche of emails like this _and_ the person had been told and ignored a request to "knock it off" as to sending emails.
