It has been pretty firmly established that, when telling a joke about gender differences, it is much more PC to make males the brunt as opposed to females. This isn't always the case, but it tends to be.
My question is this: Why is it that so many men tell jokes that berate men? I used to go to a church where the pastor (a guy) would almost every week make some joke at the expense of males. They usually weren't "mean" jokes, but they were still pretty unflattering. Also, if you go to your local bookstore and browse through the humor section, you are likely to find some books that make jokes out of the way men do things that are written by men.
I am not exactly offended by this, but it does kind of make me wonder because you don't very often see women joking like this about women. I don't, anyway. So what is everyone's thoughts on this?
N.B. Not to play "Boss," but could we have mature answers only, please? Thanks.
