Despite it being the 21st century, there's still a lot of gender inequality in the world. But a good thing about the 21st century is that at least we can expose it on Twitter, with harmless, yet on-point, feminist jokes.

The common misconception about feminism and feminists thinks that people who partake in women's liberation and equal rights activities are usually stuck-up boss-ladies or queer gals, but that could not be further from the truth. People, including men, from all backgrounds, different political views and religions unite in the equality cause, and the only difference about feminism, comparing it to general, equal rights movements, is that here people are trying to see it from women's perspective. And truth be told, sometimes there's no better medium for spreading your views than clever jokes.

Take a look at this list of funny jokes by feminists compiled by Bored Panda to see what we mean. They'll make you smile, but hopefully, they'll also make you think a little too. As one of the best jokes rightly puts it: "I think feminism should be called something different...like common sense."

Don't forget to vote for the hilarious jokes!

In part I blame religion and it's insistence on gender roles. Old Biblical gender roles are of this kind, where the woman aren't supposed to have agency of their own, so when dealing with bad consequences like this, the onus is put more heavily on the girl or woman than the boy or man. In this way there's a weird dichotomy of "Women aren't good/smart enough to do things themselves" and "men don't have control over their own natural impulses, therefore women shouldn't tempt them, whether it be by actually asking for sex, or just leaving a bit of skin uncovered, lest they can't control themselves." Really, it's stupid and horrible for everyone.

I don't want men or women to smile at me. Makes me think they're up to something.

This reminds me of a TV show once. It was about films. We had a group of certain respected people talking about and analysing a few different titles in an entertaining way in each episode. Once, a woman in the group said she didn't like romantic commedies because they are too unrealistic. When asked what genre she likes then, she answered - "I like action films." Me: *facepalm*

I can only presume this is said by men who don't like their moms?

Saying you won't date a feminist doesn't actually touch feminists the way you'd expect it anyway....

That varies WILDLY depending on time and location. See 17th Century Turkey: http://archive.aramcoworld.com/issue/200703/the.skill.of.the.two.hands.htm Certainly there were issues with women having to be sequestered in their homes, but by no means was it not taken seriously everywhere.

Well, that's considerably different, since Thor is an established character with a gender, not a job. I'm not a comic nerd whatsoever, but I am an old mythology nerd. If you're going to make a character with a fluid gender, choose Loki.

Have you seen Men's Health? It's like the men's version of Cosmo. Super weird and patronizing.

Mmmh.... I'm a woman and a feminist too, but this joke kinda fails as "do you consider yourself a feminist" doesn't sound like a natural way to ask it, or it really sounds like a not a nice person. If it was "tell me what you think about feminisn", or someting on that line, it would have sounded better.

Boom! That was using the EXACT same way mysogonists talks about women, and turning it right around. Precisely. Sounds horrible THAT way, doesn't it anti-feminists? :J

Are you implying that U2 doesn't get any s**t for being U2? Bono wears sunglasses because he has glaucoma and people STILL call him out for looking like a douche!
