This joke makes me a sexist pig?

[Devilius]

This certain chica gets mad at me when I shared this joke:

A woman was out golfing one day when she hit her ball into the woods. She went into the woods to look for it and found a frog in a trap. The frog said to her, "If you release me from this trap, I will grant you 3 wishes."

The woman freed the frog.

The frog said, "Thank you, but I failed to mention that there was a condition to your wishes that whatever you wish for, your husband will get 10 times more or better!"

The woman said, "That would be okay."

For her first wish, she wanted to be the most beautiful woman in the world.

The frog warned her, "You do realize that this wish will also make your husband the most handsome man in the world, an Adonis, that women will flock to."

The woman replied, "That will be okay because I will be the most beautiful woman and he will only have eyes for me."

So, KAZAM she's the most beautiful woman in the world!

For her second wish, she wanted to be the richest woman in the world. The frog said, "That will make your husband the richest man in the world and he will be ten times richer than you."

The woman said, "That will be okay because what's mine is his and what's his is mine."

So, KAZAM she's the richest woman in the world!

The frog then inquired about her third wish, and she answered. "I'd like a mild heart attack."

Moral of the story: Women are clever. Don't mess with them!

Attention female readers: This is the end of the joke for you. Stop here and continue feeling good!



Male readers: Please scroll down.

The man had a heart attack ten times milder than his wife!!!

Moral of the story: Women are really dumb but think they're really smart!
Let them continue to think that way and just enjoy the show!

PS: If you are a woman and are still reading this; it only goes to show that women never listen!!!

Never felt so bad after sharing a supposedly good joke...

Uhh...

Can't say if laughing on that joke makes me a misogynistic piece of shit, but it also depends on what you're laughing at. Still, gender based jokes aren't something that I take lightly. People may get offended, you never know.

When someone cracks a joke on our male species, I too have a good laugh because I know that joke wouldn't change a thing about what we are.

Just take it in good humour.

I'll show you what a misogynist joke looks like:

Why do women have legs?

So they don't leave snail trails on the kitchen floor.

That joke didn't make me laugh at all, and I seriously don't get the humour behind it. So this becomes a misogynist joke in my opinion, but may not be a misogynist joke to other people who got a laugh out of it.

There's the same ilk about men. I wouldn't say it makes you misogynist to laugh at them. I did get bored half way through though.

The answer to all threads of this genre is that if you feel compelled to ask the question, then the only and obvious answer is 'yes.'

And you can't tell why this is sexist?

Thank you.

True.

The answer to all threads of this genre is that if you feel compelled to ask the question, then the only and obvious answer is 'yes.'

*Taking notes*

And you can't tell why this is sexist?

I laughed at this part -

"...and the husband got a heart attack ten times milder."

Sure, when you highlight the last part, it becomes the motto of all the Misogynist jokes.

That's because it's the part that makes the the whole thing sexist or at least it does to me. The joke itself isn't so bad, but the conclusion(s) judge men and women as entire groups. The harder jab (the second moral) is at women, though even generalizing them as clever is still sexist.

I hope that's sarcastic, because that would eliminate pretty much all humor.

Name a category of humor that isn't going to offend anybody. You've got Blonde, Racial, Dirty, Rednecks etcetera. You make a joke on somebody, you're def going to offend somebody.

The only ones that are outta this loop are the self-deprecating ones.

Right you are. I didn't put much thought into that "Moral Part" of the story. It was something that just passed off along with the joke in my mind. Maybe that's because I'm not a woman...

I'm a man and I caught it, so that's probably not it.

 

[dolf]

It was just a joke. Men.

...until you get to the 'moral'.
#1, explaining a joke makes it less funny.
#2, it sounded like the impotent, bitter whine of a guy who gets turned down a lot.

the very nature of humor is to identify that certain situations are ironic or outrageous, if you laugh at an offensive joke it doesn't mean you fit any label. otherwise, we'd all just stick to knock knock and chicken-crossed-the-road jokes bro!

The moral of then story: women are dumb... and they never listen

not a nice joke. its pretty plain to see, brother.

and its a boring joke, at that. its no "what's the difference between jelly and jam?"

 

[unregistered]

 

[Equinoxe]

Yes, it should go without saying that the joke, or more particularly the "moral" of it, is extraordinarily sexist.

But the joke, and particularly the "moral" of it, is, in fact, the worst thing a joke can possibly be:
It's not actually funny.

 

[chillywilly2]

Why would a frog think a woman doesn't want the best for her husband

 

[Wings]

Why insult pigs?

 

[TwinkleStars]

It bored me. Guess I'm just weird. Just another boring joke to me.

 

[pete]

What is the difference between jelly and jam?

um… i'd rather you google it

 

[TwinkleStars]

um… i'd rather you google it

The difference between jelly and jam is that jelly is made strictly from the juice of fruit while jam is made from crushed fruit. Specifically, jelly is made by crushing fruit, then straining out everything but the juice.
