Sexism defined as "Stereotyping of individuals or groups because of their gender". Perpetuation of myths like, "women gossip (more)", "women are high maintenance", "women difficult to manage" and "women difficult to understand", happens purely on the strength of sexist jokes and remarks.
Sexism is as bad as racism. However, if you were to make a racist remark, you could get skinned alive but if you were to make a sexist comment, all you would get are a few nervous laughs?! Half of the men may laugh whole heartedly because they agree and the other half because they know not how to voice their discontent? And most of the women will laugh nervously to hide what they truly feel, or perhaps to blend-in with this male-dominated crowd that is allowing such hideous jokes to flourish in the first place! If any of them bothers to say something against it, they will be calmed down with, "Relax, it is just a joke. No need to get all your feathers in a flutter". Well, enough with women being the butt of all jokes, then. Let's have some other jokes now.
Sexist jokes are not funny, at least to women (and many men) they are not!
