Because Women are Stupid

[xenologer]

Sunny brought me my beautiful internet wisdom of the day!

"One of the worst ways to stop someone from telling sexist jokes is to tell him the joke isn’t funny. He’ll assume that you’re humorless and that he needs to save the good stuff for the right audience. If you really want someone to stop telling sexist jokes, you need to tell him, “I don’t get it” and then step back as he tries not to say, “It’s funny because women are stupid.""

I really don't like ANY observational comedy about identity. It's just.. shit. It's stupid, it's predictable, and it's so very, very tired. And comedians who do it seem to so often think they're "edgy", like being a mindless prejudiced jackass makes them somehow bold and manly and admirable. Because that's one of the things that pisses me off most about prejudice. So often, including with such alleged "humour", it's not that people have come to stupid conclusions about groups of people but they're just thoughtlessly regurgitating things without actually thinking about what they're saying whatsoever. People not thinking about things pisses me off even more than people thinking about things and coming to stupid or horrible conclusions.

"but they're just thoughtlessly regurgitating things without actually thinking about what they're saying whatsoever"

This is why I have to resist the urge to dopesmack people on Facebook. Because so many people just mindlessly like and share things without thinking in the least about how honestly mean what they're sharing is. -_-
