Gender-biased jokes - Hate them!

I've been going to a lot of joke sites lately and the majority of them talk about women negatively.

They say that women nag a lot, they make men's lives miserable and marriage is a bad thing because it's a life of suffering, torturing and enduring.

That's not true though and they don't make me laugh. I'm a teenage high school girl and I personally think these jokes are sexist. They refer to men as powerful, lucky, successful, strong and intelligent and they refer to women as weak, inferior, naive and unwelcome to our planet. 😡

What do you think about these jokes?

i dnt understand why women are discriminated all the time...we're the ones who bring life to the earth. men are just lazy and never get given any housework.

c'mon guys...women are not being discriminated all the time. Jokes comes for all gender, community, culture everything....i would jsut laugh at them and move on. They are sarcastic at times, but not intended to degrade women. I have come across many jokes targeted towomen but some are true if you see closely...and they are true but funny. I just enjoy any jokes and I don't take them personally 😛

bubble gum jokes ar jokes and one MUST have a sense of humour to laugh at themselves. I laugh when jokes on women are cracked and on sardars and bengalis . I am a half sikh- half Bengali woman !!!!!!I DO NOT get offended as they do not have an intention (majority of the times) to degrade you . Since people crack jokes on men , tamilians , gujjus , etc etc etc i know its not like me , my community (Bengali and Sikh), my gender is especially being targetted !!!!!!

One think i have learnt is if you have a sense of humour to laugh at your self (while respecting your self)..........believe me you will attract friends to you like moth to flame. It shows in your personality and makes you a better and nicer person to know vis a vis some one who is so damn senstive that people around them feel they are walking around some fragile breakable glass.

Moral of the story .........get your self a sense of humour. You are way too young to take things so seriously !! 😊

You guys have said it all.

In fact bubble, the best joke I remember till date actually is on men. It's too long to remember in full, but trust me, jokes on men are hillarious.

Thank you Abhijit, thatw as so terribly entertaining 😆

Four guys watching a football game.

Why do little boys whine?
Because they are practicing to be men.

Why do men like smart women?
Opposites attract.

Why is it good that there are female astronauts?

Why is psychoanalysis a lot quicker for men than for women?
When it's time to go back to his childhood, he's already there.

I think such jokes are part of the Nok-jhok between men and women and not really offensive. And this is coming from a hardcore feminist. 😛
