Q: Why does every man need a woman?
A: Because the dishes would get piled up without one.
Q: Why don't women wear watches?
A: There's a clock on the stove.
Q: Why do women have short feet?
A: So they can stand closer to the stove.
Most people who tell these jokes are men, and men who are COMPLETELY uneducated on the struggles that women and feminist movements have had to go through. The battle is nowhere near over and gender equality is a serious issue that still exists worldwide.
It's really hurtful when I hear jokes like this... because there's nothing at all funny about them. And the fact that a serious issue has been twisted around into a laugh is absolutely disgusting. Some people may swear at me to lighten up and to learn to take a joke. But the fact of the matter is that these "jokes" shouldn't even be told at all. Why should women be expected to "lighten up" and "take a joke" when it's directed at them?
Women's rights are in no way a laughing matter. End of story.
