It turns out, I no longer think dirty jokes are funny.
Most of them are mean to women, and even when not, they're based on a morality that says extramarital sex, or sex for pleasure is wrong. And the myth that women who desire sex like men do are nymphomaniacs. Or, at the very least, "the battle of the sexes" is a 19th Century stereotype, man-animal vs. woman-angel. Horseshit. Wink-wink, nudge-nudge stuff.
Now, I don't hear a lot of dirty jokes, but they were going around after my birthday band rehearsal today.
I didn't find them funny, and I was surprised. I think there was a time I would have.
Am I just getting old? Well, I am, but I think it's more on the lines of giving up the adolescent, ignorant hypocrisy that is the foundation of humor.
The same way racist, bigoted humor stopped being funny many decades ago. Sexist/sexual humor really isn't any different.
I am grateful for this evolution.
