Sorry in advance for going all TDARCOS on you.
It's not that women can't be funny. There are plenty of funny women. It's just that in general, women aren't funny. Why?
This is my theory: the foundation for one's sense of humor is laid at an early age, when all of one's friends are the same sex. When it comes to humor, women are more likely to be shamed by the group for transgressing the group's ideal of propriety and are socialized accordingly, while men are more likely to be shamed by the group for not accepting transgressions in the name of humor. For example: a girl is more likely to be shamed by her friends for making a poop joke, while a boy is more likely to be shamed by his friends for not laughing with everyone else when a joke is made at his expense.
How this manifests in adulthood is women telling everyone else what they can and can't joke about ("RAPE JOKES ARE NEVER FUNNY") and men not giving a fuck about how their jokes affect other people ("WOULDN'T IT BE FUNNY IF SHE GOT RAPED BY LIKE FIVE GUYS RIGHT NOW?"). Since all humor relies on transgression, women hamstring themselves by prioritizing the feelings of some abstract people who may or may not exist over the laughter of the concrete people right in front of them.
There, I dissected the frog. |
