Tbh I don’t think it’s that deep/I’m not that bothered by this post, which is why I replied in a joking tone rather than going Balls out Call out, but I do think these jokes can be negative influences.
Humour plays a major role in our socialisation, and replicating women as submissive and men as assertive in our jokes just serves to reinforce those internal narratives.
I have self esteem issues, and I recognise that self-deprecatory humour — even when I do it ironically and in a self aware way — is still harmful to me because it reinforces the way I view myself, and I’m trying to shift that pattern to self aggrandising because it does the opposite.
I’d draw a parallel in that using these stereotypes — even ironically — places these narratives as the null hypothesis.
Again I don’t think it’s that deep/this isn’t a personal attack, but that’s why these jokes rub me up the wrong way.
