Interesting one- because we don’t have any context on what the joke is… any topic can be formed into a joke- whether it’s a funny one is a different story. If it was just a lazy “fat woman= pregnant” “joke” with no punchline, I agree that’s denigrating women. If it was a joke with a Ricky Gervais style dark humoured punchline, I don’t think it’s denigrating women. I’m a woman and sometimes those tasteless jokes are the ones that make me laugh the loudest.

And I don’t think we should blame “all men” either.
