I was raised in a household of females, my mother and two sisters. My mother worked two jobs to see to it her children had a better life growing up than she had. She was a child of the depression era. Both my sisters were straight A students all the way through college. My younger sister is a retired full bird colonel USAF and no doubt she could kick your butt without a problem. One of her hobbies is racing vintage prototype sports cars. My other sister has a doctorate in physics and is a research scientist. Like their brother, they both ride motorcycles. My older sister, the smart one, her hobbies are baking and restoring and driving older muscle cars. I'm telling you this just to let you know not all females fit the template these so called jokes cast them in.
I'm not telling you, you should be offended. I don't really care if you are offended or not. I've not told anyone they should be offended, regardless of how offensive the demeaning humor is. I doubt you and people like you understand how demeaning this type of humor really is. If you find it funny, laugh.

Maybe you can explain to me why it was okay for women to make fun out of a wife cutting off her husband's penis.
The whole audience of women laughed along with all the sick jokes. Are you blind to all the demeaning humor aimed at men in TV shows today? If a talk show hosted by men had made fun out of a story about a woman being mutilated, you can bet that show would have been cancelled immediately. I watched an episode of Oprah Winfrey once where the primarily female audience laughed as a female school teacher talked about her molestation of a young male student. Oprah finally had to tell them to stop, and reminded them that they wouldn't laugh if it had been a male teacher with a female student. Inappropriate sexist behavior is not confined to males. If men began complaining every time a female coworker exposed herself or flirted with them, would there even be any consequences? The joke that began this thread was funny precisely because it made fun of an outdated stereotype. Women and men share the kitchen nowadays. It demeaned no one. Tim Allen made a career out of making fun about men, but we didn't find it demeaning. We laughed.
