“get their panties all up in a bunch” is a gendered slur. It is implying
the person is female, as though the person should feel insulted by that.
It uses the female gender as an insult.

That's not welcoming to anyone female, and we should all be welcoming to
anyone of any gender here — which includes not using any gender as the
punch-line of a joke.
