I think sexism is underated...
I mean we all do it...yes even you, the smug git at the back....it's usually a bit of fun and as long as you don't take it too far and the recipient has a sense of humour, it passes the time.

HOWEVER, in a remarkably contradictory fashion I am wound up regularly by double standards in advertising/commercials...

It seems 2/3 of ads (at least in the UK) are of the "ooh my husband is such a cuntbeak, he can't even do the dishes without resulting in a trip to A&E!" variety. I can only remember the Yorkie ads ever being 'brave' enough to poke fun at females, and even then they obviously thought they had to be overly tongue in cheek so as not to cause a riot.

it's simple
the phenomenon of men being made fun of by women is a fairly recent one, only really taking off in the second part of the 20th century. Wheras women have been made fun of by men since the invention of writing, the oldest recorded joke is about 6000 years old and it's sexist, there's probably sexist cave paintings out there as well.

So therefore we have to accept it for the next XXXX thousand years?
So equality isn't really what we're aiming at, it's payback?

In the short term, yes
but I reckon it'll level off after a bit but I figure if men are still getting the better deal when it comes to jobs and representation and about a dozen other areas then we can take being the brunt of the joke
