There are so many jokes out there about women, but most times the only ones I hear from men are something like:
"Why don't women need driver's licenses?"
"Because there's no road between the bedroom and the kitchen."
or,
"How many men does it take to open a beer?"
"None, it should be opened by the time his wife brings it to him."
Guys think these kinds of jokes are hilarious, but women are often offended by them. I personally don't believe a woman's place is in the kitchen. Maybe that's the way it was before and some greedy men would like it to be that way, but I have absolutely no idea how to cook anything more than spaghetti. I share the responsibility of dish-washing with my other three roommates, who are all men. Although I do sometimes make lunch for them, which are sandwiches because that's all they eat, I'm not putting myself into these stereotypes that that's where I belong. I feel more people should think about how women have fought for so much and gained it, and maybe realize that it took a lot of courage and strength. Women may be in the kitchen and tending to the children more often than men, but that doesn't mean those are the only things women are capable of.

ReplyDeleteWell, jokes about women are offensive, but that's because I'm a woman. You may not laugh at a woman-joke, but there are racial, ethical, religious jokes that other groups people fall into. I'm a practicing Catholic, but can you imagine how may priest-little boy jokes I've heard? I find every one offensive. I think people just need to be better mannered.
