Having dry humor can definitely backfire because people in America are not very good at subtlety and wordplay as a rule. I was having a conversation with a friend of mine about bengal cats and some random lady walked up to us and inserted herself in the talk (it was completely unprovoked). She said, "oh I love bengal cats!" So I said, "oh sorry we were talking about BAGELS." She looks confused and a little scared, to be honest, probably thinking she was losing her hearing. Then she says, "bagels are ok," and shuffles off looking dejected. Meanwhile I turn back to my friend and her face is blue from holding in laughter. It wasn't a funny joke, but the nosy lady's complete inability to detect she was being screwed with killed her.

Ikr. Sexism is rampent. The worst part is, even men who aren't sexist don't regulate other mens behaviour, because of fear of being seen as sensitive, so there is really no way to influenze it properly. Most of these boys don't have a proper education or understand the consequences of continuing to humor something that feeds into a stereotype, that people soon believe to be fact. The fact that sexism and harming women has become such a widespread meme, and misinformation about womens rights and experiences being so rampant on the internet, could definetly factor into the increasing amount of assaults and suicides of women. Terrifying. No wonder women feel safer not interacting with men anymore - but apparently that makes men the victims. Aah.
