Samenvatting:

A modern, feminist take on the classic joke book to amuse and empower readers who are tired of being the punchline.



A modern, feminist take on the classic joke book to amuse and empower women.
If a tree falls in a forest and only a woman is around to hear it, does it make a sound?
We’ll never know. The male forest ranger said it was a “she said, tree said” situation.

Four comedy writers flip the script on outdated, sexist joke formats while delivering sharp commentary about the everyday sexism women and people of marginalized genders face. Building off their viral McSweeney’s piece, the book arms readers with humorous ammunition to deliver pointed blows to workplace underminer Gregs and Neanderthal Uncle Larrys, or to share with their aggrieved girlfriends. A cutting satire of the old-fashioned sexist joke book, Jokes to Offend Men is a refreshing reclamation of a tired form.
