I, too, am sick of sexism on the internet and I am sick of people telling me I should just accept said sexism and "lighten up". (I'm also tired of the kitchen-sandwich jokes. I mean, can't anyone come up with an original and witty quip at least?)
"[S]studies have shown that exposure to this type of humor [i.e., sexist "humor"] increases rape proclivity..."
"[R]esearch demonstrates that exposure to sexist humor can create conditions that allow men – especially those who have antagonistic attitudes toward women – to express those attitudes in their behavior... The acceptance of sexist humor leads men to believe that sexist behavior falls within the bounds of social acceptability."
Yeah, "hilarious".

Demeaning women via "humor" is not funny. Not only do such "jokes" shame and silence women, but they have been shown to increase hostility and aggression towards women, increasing levels of discrimination against them.
That's ridiculous. She said nothing of censorship. It's more about the ideas behind what is said, ideas that women are worth less than men.
I am probably a good person but I haven't taken the time to fill out my profile, so you'll never know! |
