I have noticed that a lot of women fall neatly into two convenient categories when it comes to taste in humor.
If a guy says a joke that is cheesy and corny, possibly with a lot of puns, the female will sniff in conceited disapproval (and in silly stuck-up-ness) and will say contemptuously, "Ohmigosh you're like so immature, why are men always so immature, Ohmigosh why can't men ever be serious for once?" In other words, the female has no sense of humor.
But on the other hand, if a guy tells a joke that is rather offensive and disgusting towards women, a lot of women then chortle gaily. I have seen too many women that laugh and titter and act like they are tooooootalllly cool with humor that is vulgar and demeaning towards women.
So why do females fall into these two categories? They either have no sense of humor at all, or they have a disgusting sense of humor? Rarely have I met a woman outside my own family who genuinely has a sense of humor for stuff that is actually funny.
I see a lot of the female "comedians" on cable channels and I gotta tell you, they are not particularly funny. They are gross and vulgar and disgusting.

They are okay with demeaning women -- all in the name of entertainment.
Here's another thing I don't get. Why is so much of entertainment like this? Or more to the point, why do so many people defend entertainment using this exact argument? That because it is borderline amusing or vaguely clever or it is entertaining, therefore it is perfectly okay?
What they are saying is that they think entertainment value is more important than politeness and taste. A joke or an entire TV show or movie is disgusting and ___vile and vulgar___?? -- Oh who cares? It is still entertaining, so we accomplished our goal.
I have seen so many editorials that defend movies that have no purpose other than to gross people out. Why is mere entertainment such a big huge major important end goal? Why does the suggestion of entertainment trump any and all other arguments?
They are opposing diametric sides of the argument. Why does entertainment value carry bigger weight than the fact that this movie or whatever mode of conveyance is pretty nasty?
