Sexist humor: "jokes about blondes and women drivers are not just harmless fun and games; instead, exposure to sexist humor can lead to toleration of hostile feelings and discrimination against women."

Heheh. This very morning I got two emails from a coworker. The first was a huge list of "a man is like..." jokes. The second one was an apology explaining that it was meant to go to a different (female) coworker whose name starts with the same letters. Damned autofill!

Some of them were pretty mean-spirited, but I chose not to take offense. My favorite one was this: A man is like a snowstorm - you never know when he'll come, how long he's last or how many inches you're going to get.

Wish they would hold another study directed at women and see how they react to sexist jokes towards men.

One of those many things that people complain about that don't reach the threshold of actual issues.
