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.
Do you find sexist jokes in the lounge funny?

Yeah, let's just hope his "friend" is nothing like him... hopefully he won't have a disgusting sense of humor, smell like a garbage dump or be all handsy like DC. vomit

We've all grown accustomed to ignoring Lloyd. Grin In fact, depending on how the woot-off is going, we'll all put him on ignore at the same time just to torture him. laugh out loud

I vote for another official "let's all ignore Lloyd day" today! Whee

Quote from *JeanGrey* :
For me I really don't care if they're sexist, it's just if I find them funny or not. And honestly, most of them are just stupid IMHO and not funny. Plus the same joke gets old after like, the first time reading it. There's no novelty or humor in "get back in the kitchen." It's just dumb.
I agree. Those jokes are played out.

I think we need to step up a notch and make violent jokes. For example, "STFU or you'll be assaulted with bayonet, Congolese-style."

This thread is still alive? Why are we giving these women so much attention? They just might start to think that they are people too...and then we will have to train them all over again. Mad

Yeah there's like a grand total of like ten other kids in the IT/CS programs that are normal enough for me to talk to. My friends are almost entirely from other majors since the crowd that is associated with my field is usually really weird.
