That's my main problem. If you want to leave a good impression on your team and have the respect of your parents, why are you singling out the women, treating them as victims, then say you are not being sexist just protective. So the women have to be protected from the scary scary men who curse? Sexism isn't just treating women badly, but also much more strongly and protecting them more than men. I know you guys are mostly a women oriented team, but for those men on the team maybe if you show the same worry we could nip this in the bud quicker.

If you want to protect people from cursing at least make it a blanket policy and not some sort of singling out of people. Have it so that you want it to be a nicer place overall, not just for "ladies".

/end rant

*PS: I curse, and understand what everyone is saying, I'm more worried about the overproctective aspect of OP.
