Men, if your joke is demeaning or belittling or minimizes gifts but maximizes critiques all you've done is show a lack of empathy for our sisters. You've proven you're only joking to reinforce male superiority/soothe insecurity. They're not funny and they're not true.
And the fact that you feel entitled to make those jokes is disgusting. That you would rather lean into awful assumptions and untrue stereotypes to make a rude joke than question yourself and the joke shows how arrogant you are.
Yes I'm talking about Mark Gungor. But also locker room talk, "boys will be boys" justification for lowering standards and expectations of male youth, male conquest and dominance culture, women as extensions of or rewards for men, entitlements to a person's body and compliance.
Women, I am sorry that you have to put up with it because men enact it and also because me aren't vocal in speaking up against it. We have the luxury of blissful ignorance. It takes energy and work that is seen as optional, while you encounter it on a terrifyingly regular basis.
Men, they're hurting. And we're the ones hurting them when we let our brothers, fathers, uncles, friends, coworkers, pastors reduce and dehumanize women with their beliefs and how we act on them.
It's going to be scary and hard to stand up against an oppressive status quo.

But we have to do it. We have to speak life and love and value and worth into women's lives. Because it's good for us to do so. And it's good for women. And it's good for the world.
So we definitely don't need any more sexist humour.
We need empathy and compassion.
