Calling her a dishwasher is based on attitudes where women are the homeworkers. I see the joke as taking the piss out of people with that attitude, not the woman herself. We all know that she is a human being with thoughts and feelings like the rest of us and no one ever thought otherwise.
I’m not sure, but feel free to link to my previous comment whever you next see an oppertunity for a lemmy switcheroo. It’s not really my cup of tea, but it’s good to start something.
So it’s funny because some people with that attitude exist, and therefore you make a joke those people would make? How is that different from saying a racist joke and claiming you’re making fun of racists? (non-hostile question)
Throw in some subtle nuance in the delivery, and I’ve done similar to basically call someone a jackass to their face.
For a rough example - attending a kids birthday party in the presence of racist ex-inlaws. Somebody says something predictably racist, I say something obnoxious which on the surface sounds like I might agree with them for half a second, then the realization hits that I was making fun of them and I roll my eyes and walk away.
It subverts the expectation by calling the woman a dishwasher. This is the humour. I don’t find it offensive because I assume they’re joking, and it’s a reasonable assumption because there is a real dishwasher at play while he referred to the woman as a dishwasher, making it quite clear he was simply joking and not serious positing that women belong in the kitchen.
I remember something similar on Reddit where there was a subreddit that made ironic humour about Trump, however it quite quickly turned into a serious subreddit over time because some people took it seriously.
I’ve seen similar happen with LGBT jokes or misogynistic jokes and they will escalate over time while you also get told you’re too uptight and to relax. This also was beginning to happen in 196 on lemmy with trans people.

Can you explain why that’s funny?
Not the person that made the joke, but…

Yes, the old misogyny-switcheroo
Tell me there’s a switcheroo community/magazine

Contratulations, you’re the inaugural aroo
Exactly. That and taking the piss out of people too sensitive to see that.

I can see how this could be fun to do, I don’t think I’d have the nuance to pull it off though

So? Block and report them. Don’t let them control you like that bud.
This happens in online communities all the time, unless I want to block the internet I’m going to have to deal with it. 🙂 So I do the next best thing.
I understand I’m not the popular opinion here, but hopefully this helps somewhat.
So? Block them.
Thank you for contacting technical support.

I don’t really appreciate this comment, I was asking a genuine question :/
This is also funny.
No you weren’t
If you’re trying to look like you hate ignorance, don’t feign it.
This type of humor has already aged. It’ll die soon. No need to think about it.

Because Lemmy users are 77% men. Jokes like this are excused with ‘satire’ and if you aren’t one of them you wouldn’t get it.
Inb4 the hate, let me absolve with satire as an excuse before any of you start overreacting.
