In the hospital the relatives gathered in the waiting room, where their family member lay gravely ill. Finally, the doctor came in looking tired and somber. “I’m afraid I’m the bearer of bad news,” he said as he surveyed the worried faces. “The only hope left for your loved one at this time is a brain transplant. It’s an experimental procedure, semi-risky and you will have to pay for the brain yourselves.”
The family members sat silent as they absorbed the news. After a great length of time, someone asked, “Well, how much does a brain cost?” The doctor quickly responded, “$5,000 for a female brain and $200 for a male brain.” The moment turned awkward. The women in the room tried not to smile, avoiding eye contact with the men, but some actually smirked.
A woman, unable to control his curiosity, blurted out the question everyone wanted to ask, “Why is the female brain so much more?” The doctor smiled at the childish innocence and so to the entire group said, “It’s just standard pricing procedure. We have to mark down the price of the male brains, because they’ve actually been used.”
A guy is riding up to work on the elevator, when it stops and a beautiful woman gets on. As they continue up, they begin eyeing each other. Suddenly, the woman hits the emergency stop. She rips off all her clothes, throws them on the floor, and says “Make me feel like a woman!”

I don’t understand why it’s ok for misogyny not only to be considered funny, but to be encouraged here, no matter what the purpose. And I’m not talking about being PC - I’m talking about having some respect.
The title of this thread includes the word “jokes”, which I take to have a connection with “funny”. Maybe I haven’t seen any LOL’s posted here, but people keep posting more and more “jokes” anyway. Saying something to the effect of “I hope this doesn’t offend” does not take away the intitial sting. They do offend - very much so. It’s the mentality of the “jokes” posted here that perpetuates a very negative view of women in general. Some also condone violence against women for no other reason than “she’s a woman, so she deserves it”. I’m not one to take the offense without at least saying something about my disapproval.
c-of-cyn, the OP asked for these sexist jokes and gave the rationale behind needing them. Given that the nature of the topic was cleary explained, why did you open the thread? Once you opened it and saw what it contained, why did you continue reading it?
If you don’t like reading these jokes, then don’t read them—see how simple it is?
As a woman, I am not offended at all by the jokes, as they are obviously just that - jokes. I personally wouldn’t take them seriously. However, if you choose to view them as insults… well, to each their own.
But c-of-cyn, what I think you have failed to see is that the reason these jokes are here in the first place is because they have been acknowledged as sexist. Perhaps there is an element of humour behind some of the ones posted, but the primary reason is because we KNOW that these are sexist jokes.
Topic of discussion from last Years 'Wimmins Equality Conference titled ‘Changing Husbands - Making a difference in your home’
The first speaker, a woman from England, got up and told the audience how she remidied her husbands untidy habits in the bachroom - “I told him to clean up or no sex”. And the results? "After the first day I saw nothing, two days nothing, but on the third day, he finally started to clean up after himself.

The second speaker, a woman from Canada gets up and describes how she told her husband he should use the vaccuum and dust around the house. “After the first day, I saw nothing, but on the second day he gave the house a good clean”

The third speaker, Raylene from Australia gets up and tells the audience how she demanded her husband cook a meal sometimes. "Well, after the first two days, I saw nothing, but on the third day I could see a little out of my right eye !!!
I see that after I posted a request to not include jokes about battered women, two posters have seen fit to include jokes on that subject. Obviously suggestions are not an effective method. This thread will be closed.
