A woman has the last word in any
argument.
Anything a man says after that is the
beginning of a new argument. Mike drop 🎤 boom.

Hello
This is no laughing matter and not aimed at you but too many gender jokes may indicate a sense of insecurity on the part of the person telling them and can create a toxic environment.
Believe it or not there have actually been studies done on this topic and some of these endless gender jokes can actually wind up being harmful , lead to harrassment and worse. They did a study many years ago concluding that the acceptance of sexist humor by men leads some men to believe that sexist behavior is within the bounds of social acceptability.
Women will tell gender jokes about men occasionally but men seem to tell more of them. You can understand why women generally will start to feel resentful.
I would expect this occurs more in person and I think a lot of the women here have run across that type of man in the past.
I grew up in the fifties and sixties and we women endured a lot of inappropriate behavior and comments and jokes.
This is in no way a reflection of you and I did not mean to put a damper on this topic. I don't want you to stop telling jokes because we all look forward to them and your jokes are not offensive. But men and women perceive humor differently and , from my experience, men really dont like to hear a male gender joke as it makes them uncomfortable .
Enough said.
