Ladies: Do you find the sexist jokes in the lounge funny?

4,980 378 March 23, 2010 at 11:38 AM in Question
I have been inspired to create this thread because I would like to know how women take the jokes posted throughout the lounge.

We hear jokes like:

You're a woman, so you're stupid.
Get back in the kitchen and make me a sammich. Bring a beer, too.
Why did you let her out of the kitchen?
Okay fine, just a slew of kitchen jokes.
Women can't drive (but is it really a joke?).
Etc.

Personally, I see no harm in the jokes, think they're funny, and make them myself. I think that most of the men here don't really treat their wife or any woman in their life this way and I obviously don't agree with them in practice. I do think it is a funny perpetual joke here in the lounge and shouldn't be looked at in more than a superficial way.

In spirit of staying somewhat on topic, for those who said they find them funny to a certain extent, why? Is it because they just get old and aren't funny anymore or do you get offended?

Maybe because they are blond and don't understand some of them?

If you have the time to create a thread, you have too much time on your hands. Go and make a sandwich for your man. Big Grin
