Annotation

Drawing on sexist jokes in printed Facebook profiles, it was found that both men and women evaluated other-sex jokes as more sexist than neutral humor. Men's display of anti-women humor was less positively received than their anti-men humor, or women exhibiting either humor kind. There may be different gender norms for joke tellers as to who is an admissible aim of sexist humor.
