I would take this advice, but unfortunately all the sexist jokes I hear come from women. I, as a man, am not allowed to criticize a woman’s behavior, so no. It can’t happen.
Where I live, I noticed almost 20 years ago, that sexist jokes about women made by boys and men have fallen sharply off a cliff, but nowhere near the same thing has occurred with demeaning, degrading, downright disgusting humor and commentary about men.
That’s bound to happen when you literally define sexism in such a narrowed way that the only way a woman can be sexist towards men/boys is in an outright overt and blatant manner but in such a broad way that a man can be sexist towards girls/women by genuine accident. Hell even overt things like a woman bragging about abusing her bf/husband are dismissed as a joke but a guy so much as saying he would hit a woman gets a front page attention on social media and an organized effort to find his personal info and get him fired… Read more »
It’s even weirder. Women can be sexist about themselves, and it’s fine. I just encountered a group on Facebook called something like ‘WineHos’, that has several thousand female members.
Imagine a guy using the word ‘Ho’ to describe anyone! Holy crap, it would be worse than clubbing a baby seal!
You know I’m fine with that. If they want to use that word among themselves that’s up to them and I can understand why they wouldn’t want guys to use those words towards them. Its an insider/outsider thing. Im cool with that.
What pisses me off to no end is the idea that women are free to call men all sorts of insulting names, even dick and its all supposed to be just fine but if a guy even thinks about calling a woman a name suddenly name calling is bad.
Agreed 100%. That’s basically what my original comment was about. Just about every day, I’m bombarded with male-bashing humor I can’t do or say anything about. In the grand scheme of things, it doesn’t bother me that much, but it makes me feel absolutely zero empathy when I hear complaints about the ultra-rare sexist joke, or derogatory comment about women I even happen to catch.
I can understand that. There is definitely an element of, “How do you expect men to support women when we have to deal with women disrespecting the hell out of us on a daily basis?” to it.
For some reason men are supposed to just get over being done wrong by women but expected women to do the same is considered wrong.
