Feminist Joke

I never liked this joke:

Q: How many feminists does it take to change a light bulb?

A: Trick question. Feminists can’t change anything.

I don’t like it, because it’s not true. Feminists have shown themselves to be quite adept at changing the world, sometimes for the better, often for the worse. I’ve created a new version of the joke that I think is more accurate and therefore a better insult.

Q: How many feminists does it take to change a light bulb?

A: Two. One to change the light bulb, the other to write a dissertation for her Women’s Studies class detailing all of the ways in which light bulbs are tools of the patriarchy.
