  • I laugh at whatever jokes I find funny. My issues are mainly:
    -Most of those jokes are overused and lame. Like sweaty fat people jokes. *yawn*.
    -Also, there are a LOT more women than men jokes. So of course we're not going to find them all funny.
    -Then there's the fact that most "guy" jokes aren't bashing them like women jokes. It's like trying to compare a "white people can't dance" joke to a "if a black, Mexican and Puerto Rican are in a car, who's driving? A cop". They don't have the same "sting" factor.

    I've made up my own sexist/racist/tasteless jokes:
    -The difference between an independent woman and a slut is that one is confident while the other is too cocky.
    -There's a border between child abuse and discipline and Mexican parents are never afraid to cross it.
    -A crayon box is the only place where being white renders you useless and unwanted.
    -Women (or people) who stay in physically abusive relationships really need some sense slapped into them.
    -I don't listen to country music. But that's just because I can't relate to it seeing as I'm not sexually attracted to Jesus, my cousins, or tractor

    Lol I'm terrible and y'all are gonna hate me if I keep listing my horrible jokes.

  • Because for women it's more than a joke. I've heard that I should be in the kitchen both as a joke and as a serious statement. When I was in middle school I laughed at it until I told my male relatives that I was going to go to college only for them to tell me I need to be a housewife and live to please my husband. Now I don't find them funny.

    I don't find the male bashing jokes funny either. To me, any joke that bashes a whole group of people based on race, gender, etc. is just lazy comedy. There's so many other things you can joke about.

    • Nah the problem they not funny. Guys want housewife who won't contribute financially arnt smart. The problem with jokes isthey need fresh material

  • Yeah, I kinda laugh at everything all the time.

    I'm gna take hate for this, but I especially laugh at female authority figures. If a woman yells at me, I just think it's slapstick. (Single dad, only male rolemodels, pretty much ever.)

    Being a mother is interesting. I don't lose my cool, because I don't want to be a fucking joke. In my own eyes. If they really need to get yelled at then daddy can do it.

    • ^^ At female authoriTARIAN figures, that is. I've got lots of respect for female authority of the cerebral kind-- intellectual pursuits etc. All the fields where it doesn't matter whethre you're a man or a woman or a cat or a dog or a whatever.

  • I used to laugh at them. Now I get them a couple times a day and it starts to hurt self esteem when I'm hearing it over and over and over again.
    Mostly though some things just cross the line and aren't funny. I feel this way for jokes about both sexes

  • I never knew women did that until I snuck a look at my exs phone way back in 04. The jokes were funny as fuck. All man bashing. It was a bloody eye opener for me. I realised that day that men and women put an act on around the opposite sex. Women think men are idiotic and boring for the most part and men think women are stupid and boring. It's not true though. In their own environment men and women are smart and funny. We just change around each other

  • Women tend to be very sensitive with this kind of stuff, especially in this site xD
    I don't know, I think it's funny, both male and female bashing. If done well, it's funny.
    People are way too PC and sensitive nowadays, it's getting annoying.

  • Tasteful jokes are funny, especially if they're witty. I think you have to factor in the power differential in modern times and recent history to understand why certain groups are more sensitive. Not all individuals are sensitive, but there are trends to be considerate about.

    Out of the ones you posted, I think the "Joins Military," "Husband Taking out the Trash" are hilarious.

  • It's easy to laugh at jokes about yourself when you're in the societal position of power (like how whites don't care when other races bash them) but try laughing at a joke about yourself when you aren't in the position of power.

    Sexist jokes aren't funny.

    • Maybe you don't care if other races bash you, but I do. White men commit suicide at rates far higher than women or minorities, stop acting like you know everything about us.

  • Maybe they aren't funny.

  • i laugh at sexist jokes if its just to be funny, not when theyre trying to be honestly offensive.

    goes for both genders

  • Maybe no sexist jokes are funny and you have an underdeveloped sense of humour.

  • Are you fucking kidding me? I looooove sexist jokes.

    Did you know that there is intelligent life in women? It's such a shame most prefer to spit it lololololl

    That's one of my favorites.

    • Want some intelligent life from me?

  • I don't laugh when I'm insulted. I prefer smart humor

  • some sexist jokes are pretty funny tbh

  • Simply bevause i horrible bullying experience that made me hate those jokes! I am better now but eh! Not my fav!

  • Cuz they ain't got teztiklez to absorb the offence and insult from the joke.

  • Hogwash.

    I tell women to make me a sandwhich.

    Women makes me a sandwich.

  • The first one was funny.

  • Maybe they find it insulting and/or degrading depending on the joke

  • I don't laugh at any sexist jokes, doesn't matter what sex they're directed at.

  • Nah, they hurt our ego.

  • I can answer it if you seriously want me to answer you.

  • First one was the best.

  • It's called hilarious, and accurate.

  • Sometimes they are funny, sometimes not. Sometimes they are made to just be offensive and I don't find that funny (for either gender). I make fun of myself, others laugh.

  • Because sexist jokes are based on sad reality. One that many women face daily, and suffer from them. And honestly almost all of us women have faced some experiences where we were sadly disadvantaged due to being a woman. at least thats the case where i live.

    • i hope you dont live in the USA/Canada/Western Europe because women here are actually more privileged than men most of the times lmaoo

    • @XxLumierexX nopes. Asia actually.
