@@jacobhargiss3839 If you don’t understand how it’s misogynistic then you’ve been living under a rock for the past 500+ years. But I’ll baby you through this, saying “Women belong in the kitchen” has been for centuries, especially for the past 2, a misogynistic way of saying that women should only be house wives who stay home and cook for their husbands/families, it has been, and still is, used by misogynists to try and make women feel less important than they actually are.

@@JC-vp7pd You very clearly don’t understand the structure of a joke, a joke has a setup and a punchline, “Women belong in the kitchen” is neither a setup or a punchline to anything, and even if it was it’s still missing the other necessary part that makes it a joke.
