    Yes. You can remove the exaggeration from jokes to turn them into statements and make a point.

        Oh, totally. I’m not defending the joke. It’s mid. I’m just saying that removing the exaggerated extra commentary just makes it a statement.

      If the “joke” was about “flat-chested women who can’t cook” not being “special,” then suddenly you might be more reluctant to defend it as “humor”…

        That is what our patriarchy teaches us, is it not? That we must be providers and fertile to have value. It’s our role as men, no?

          Are you saying it’s a valid argument because it’s in agreement with the patriarchy? Saying “the patriarchy teaches this” isn’t exactly a very good argument for “so we should accept it as valid and true”…

            I really thought… I really thought I loaded that statement with so much ridiculous bullshit that you guys would all understand that I was being satirical. And poes law got me again.

              Satire doesn’t always convey over plaintext, as it lacks tone of voice, facial expression, and gesture. That’s why we have emojis and “/s” tags…
