"Nice to see your sense of humour bypass wasn't a failure I know, right? I just love humour that says women are something to be endured and put up with. It's hilarious! I don't know why anyone wouldn't love that." I can't understand so much men vs. women stuff on a site designed primarily for us to contact and meet each other. It boggles my brain. I guess some people really don't see casual sexism or really do think it's not harmful and is a joke. We're here to try to meet each other and yet can't help but disrespect and put each other down, as an entire group. | |||

"In the interest of balance. Husband: "Want a quickie?" Wife: "As opposed to what?" My husband said he wanted more space. So I locked him outside. What do you do if your best friend runs off with your husband? Miss her. Pity her. Why are husbands like lawn mowers? They're hard to get started, emit foul odors, and don't work half the time. How do you keep your husband from reading your e-mail? Rename the mail folder "Instruction Manuals." " And actually, none of those perpetuate harmful historical stereotypes nor do they suggest that women are just property to be traded between friends! So much better - well done you! | |||

I've been a wife and I'm not offended by any of it. Yeah sexism is still around but posts like this should be taken with a pinch of salt. Colgate isn't a prick and I know he didn't mean any of it maliciously. And he hasn't said that he thinks all of the stuff he posted, it's just for a laugh. I can understand why some people are offended/upset/whatever by stuff like this, but I still just find it funny. It's like women in the kitchen jokes.. I find them hilarious because I can't cook | |||

"Wasn't aimed directly at you. Are you a wife? Do you have to have signed a government contract in order to understand how sexist jokes can perpetuate negative stereotypes?" Jokes about wives are a little different to jokes about women. Jokes about blonde women are a little different to jokes about women. It's picking specific, easy to joke about people.. Jokes about men being idiots are still funny even if men aren't idiots. I'm just saying that jokes are jokes and should be taken with a pinch of salt. Nothing in the OP is malicious.. | |||

More so than any of the opening jokes" Why women would marry sexist men wasn't the question so no comment is being made about the women. The reasons I gave are based on comments and behaviours observed, in real life, from sexist men. I didn't comment on what I think of the women that marry them, in a derogatory fashion or otherwise. Some women clearly do marry them though. I'm not sure what your point is tbh. | |||

How do you get a dog to stop humping your leg? Pick it up and give it a blow job. What flies and wobbles? A jellycopter. And no man, woman or child was hurt in the telling of these jokes. | |||

" They are funny. I also prefer to take this piss out myself and my sex than the other way round. I like self-deprecating humour
I do think that there is something in that.
A female comedian being self-depreciating and funny about women can often be really rather humorous AND on point.
A guy making the same jokes, would almost certainly come across as being a sexist dick.
By extension of this, had the OP been female and posted the same set of jokes, does that then make them self depreciating and humorous?
I would have probably still said something, but I most likely would have said something slightly different.
I still don't think it's great to perpetuate negative historical stereotypes about women and what a nag we all are.
Men don't really have the same historical oppression to make jokes about, so the jokes are obviously quite different.
I'm sorry wasp but the same historical oppression.
Really?
So men have never been sold into slavery?
Men have never been press ganged?
Men have never been oppressed?
I'm very sorry you can't make a sweeping statement like that.
Yes women have been oppressed, but so have both sexes. Usually by the rich, wealthy.
I am not going to tell you to lighten up coz it's clearly a very serious subject matter that you obviously feel strongly about.
Please do tell me some jokes about middle-class white men who have been sold into slavery or press-ganged.
I bet they're hilarious."If there were I doubt they would be funny anyway. But I am sure monty python has probably taken the piss at some point. Besides we all know us men don't require jokes to make us look stupid, we do a pretty good job at it ourselves | |||

"Why is being disrespectful about each other funny though? Perpetuating these jokes just continues to confirm stereotypes that do harm to both men and women, (though mostly women, particularly in this case). The first quote, whilst very clever, does refer to women in terms of property and we take these things in subconsciously unless we actually think about them and question them. They influence our thoughts and actions. We accept it's ok, and funny, to regard women as property. Women have historically been property, and often still are treated that way even today. We should be acting to change that, not laughing about it and making jokes. Some of the guys were quick enough to protest when they noticed men are sometimes portrayed as bungling dolts on adverts. These stereotypes are harmful, not light-hearted or funny, regardless of the OP's intentions, (which were clearly not malicious)." Get a grip it was said in jest and there will be a husband equivalent out there some where. Sense of humour none existent in some people very unattractive trait I think. | |||

They're hard to get started, emit foul odors, and don't work half the time. How do you keep your husband from reading your e-mail? Rename the mail folder "Instruction Manual" How can you tell if your husband is dead? The sex is the same but you get to use the remote. What do you call a woman who knows where her husband is every night? A widow. What is the difference between a wife and a girlfriend? About 45 pounds. What's the difference between a husband and a boyfriend? 45 minutes. What's the difference between a new husband and a new dog? 1) After a year, the dog is still excited to see you. 2) A dog only takes a couple of months to train. Why didn't the husband change the baby for a week? Because the text on the diapers package said '18-40 lbs' I think the only reason my husband likes to go fishing so much is that it's the only time he hears someone tell him, "Wow, that's a big one!""

I can't believe you would suggest it is a wives fault that her husband is sexist? You ever heard of an arranged marriage? I have ye, and who says its always the bloke who wants to get married? No-one on this thread has said it is always the bloke who wants to get married. Is it relevant to any point made so far? What? You implied that a woman might have to get married to a sexist bloke through arranged marriage (It's not an implication, it's a fact) so it was relevant to that point. Though what arranged marriage had to do with this thread I don't know Well, lots has been brought into this thread, hasn't it? To explain the poor reception of the OP quotes. Like, for example, how not funny a joke about treating women like property is, when women are still treated as property. The Op quotes have been received well by 90% of the people on this thread so I don't know where you get that from. Anyway, haven't you got some dishes or cleaning up to be getting on with
As a statistic, it doesn't really have much bearing does it - it doesn't say who read it and what their opinion was. Just the people commenting.
As to the second bit, omg, how I laughed and laughed.
True, but generally there hasn't been a poor reception to the quotes so I don't understand why you said there had been"The OP already said the thread had turned from what he intended and I'm not the only dissenting voice, so... | |||

Pretty defensive over some shit jokes, that are undeniably having a go at lots of people, no matter how much you protest. Why not get over the jokes and enjoy people more? They're worthless jokes, and they reflect on you.
Don't care that I don't like racist jokes? Just the same as saying you don't care that I don't like racism. It doesn't stop being racist or sexist just because it's a joke. You don't get a free pass by saying 'lol jk k?'

Or not humerous unless you don't find it humerous of course. For whatever reason....... Next thread topic; politics. It wouldn't be humourous though.

I have a sense of humour and know that most of the time, mildly sexist jokes are meant as a joke, not as offence. Your mum is so fat she's on both sides of the family! This is mildly offensive to people with fat mums. And I don't care
Lighten up people!!! "Fuckin' this!!

See I'm a fat mum. I laughed at that joke because I'm not hung up about being fat. I've also been a wife and I laughed at the jokes. Them having a laugh about their wives had or has no effect on my life. "Agreed! I have worked in kitchens in a predominantly male environment and trust me, I have heard it all. And I give as good as I get. None of the jokes I have read so far have offended me in any way. I am a woman, wife and fat mum. I just found them funny. | |||

"How about some non-gender-specific marriage humour? Oscar Wilde: Bigamy is having one husband or wife too many. Monogamy is the same." Now then, does this joke become offensive, less funny and an example of institutionalised sexism if it's reworded as "Bigamy is having one husband too many. Monogamy is the same." Or Bigamy is having one wife too many. Monogamy is the same."? | |||

"I'm not offended or trying to censor anyone. But people have as much right to point out that someone is posting shit sexist "jokes" reminiscent of the 1950s that they don't find funny, as they do to post them. You may think this means I have no sense of humour; I may think it means you're a bit of a knob. " no it means you have a different sense of humour to someone else. To think that someone is a knob because they don't share the same sense of humour says a lot about you. It's all about perspective | |||

"Never has the the phrase (sentence?): "for fucks sake, get over your opinionated miserable arsed selves and lighten up" been more appropriate. TWIMC Yes. I mean, sitting down and shutting the fuck up is the mark of a good wife - is it not?" Why are your post so angry and negative | |||

"You don't want me to air my opinion (whatever in your twisted _iew of what you think that is) you want me to change it. You want me to change and censor my thought to coincide with yours (even though you don't actually know my opinion) Actually, I have not said such things. I have never told you not to air your opinion. I have never told you to change your thoughts. I have never tols you to censor your thoughts. I have never told you to agree with me. What I have suggested is that if you find that opening post funny, you might want to reconsider your world _iew." Why would they want to reconsider? | |||

"In the interest of balance. Husband: "Want a quickie?" Wife: "As opposed to what?" My husband said he wanted more space. So I locked him outside. What do you do if your best friend runs off with your husband? Miss her. Pity her. Why are husbands like lawn mowers? They're hard to get started, emit foul odors, and don't work half the time. How do you keep your husband from reading your e-mail? Rename the mail folder "Instruction Manuals." And actually, none of those perpetuate harmful historical stereotypes nor do they suggest that women are just property to be traded between friends! So much better - well done you!" You can't see the stereotypes? Let me help.... Stereotype 1 - husbands don't last long enough to satisfy. Stereotype 2 - husbands feel trapped inside their marriages. Stereotype 3 - husbands bring women down. Stereotype 4 - husbands are lazy, fart a lot, and have trouble getting it up. Stereotype 5 - they can't be bothered to read instructions. Showed the jokes to my husband, and he laughed... as did I at the wife ones. All humour makes fun of someone or something.... | |||

" They are funny. I also prefer to take this piss out myself and my sex than the other way round. I like self-deprecating humour
I do think that there is something in that.
A female comedian being self-depreciating and funny about women can often be really rather humorous AND on point.
A guy making the same jokes, would almost certainly come across as being a sexist dick.
By extension of this, had the OP been female and posted the same set of jokes, does that then make them self depreciating and humorous?
I would have probably still said something, but I most likely would have said something slightly different.
I still don't think it's great to perpetuate negative historical stereotypes about women and what a nag we all are.
Men don't really have the same historical oppression to make jokes about, so the jokes are obviously quite different.
I'm sorry wasp but the same historical oppression.
Really?
So men have never been sold into slavery?
Men have never been press ganged?
Men have never been oppressed?
I'm very sorry you can't make a sweeping statement like that.
Yes women have been oppressed, but so have both sexes. Usually by the rich, wealthy.
I am not going to tell you to lighten up coz it's clearly a very serious subject matter that you obviously feel strongly about.
I've yet to hear any jokes about men being sold into slavery or press ganged though.
They have been oppressed in some ways, yes, but it's not joked about."I was so happy to hear that slaves are now free... my last one cost a fortune. If the United States of America are the leaders of the free world, I think I'd like to be sold into slavery. In the olden days you knew they were a slave, because they had a ring around their necks - now he has a ring on his finger. Now you have. | |||
