The one feminist joke I’ve heard is:
“What do you call a feminist ?”
“THAT’S NOT FUNNY.”
The only unoffensive joke involving feminism that I know is:
“How many feminists does it take to screw in a light bulb?”
“One. [long serious pause] …why do you ask?”
But I teach Feminist Theory and would love to hear some jokes that actually involve feminist theory.
Excuse my sour mood:
1. How could you give a feminist philosopher the surprise of her life?
Put on a conference on her work.
2. How do you know a feminist philosopher’s thought is finally mainstream?
When it re-appears in the men’s work as their own.
jj, I really like your suggestions. I laughed out loud.
Thanks, Bakka!
I thought the lightbulb joke was supposed to be like this:
“How many feminists does it take to screw in a light bulb?”
[LOUDLY AND ANGERLY] “JUST ONE!!!”
The punch line should be: 2, one to screw the bulb and one to get in the kitchen and bake me a pie!
Another lightbulb joke… not as nice to us feminists.. nevertheless it made me laugh when I heard it
Q: how many feminists does it take to change the lightbulb?
A: It’s the lightbulb that needs to change.
Well one of my friends told me this one (all in good humour of course).
“Hey want to hear a joke?”
“Okay”
“Women’s rights!’
*cue canned audience laughter*
