One of the most common lies about feminists (or those who stand up for women) is that they lack a sense of humor. How many times have you been told that you just “can’t take a joke” when you take offense to something sexist? You hear it from both men and women – everyone dreads being around that person who sucks the fun out of the situation. These cynical killjoys can’t wait to pounce on your political incorrectness. Although men can (and do!) call out sexism, you’ll notice that this myth is heavily directed towards women. Any woman who refuses to give sexism a pass must have a chip on her shoulder. Now imagine the guy who makes the sexist comment is a family member – or worse, someone you have a crush on. You might feel like you can’t call them out for fear of making things awkward or jeopardizing the chances that they’ll be interested in you. Soon, you’re sitting there biting your tongue for the sake of maintaining the imagined cultural status quo.
