I see that the man is very excited, but the dishwasher doesn't seem too happy about the arrangement.

Can you explain why that's funny?
Not the person that made the joke, but…
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.
Satire requires a clarity of purpose and target lest it be mistaken for and contribute to that which it intends to criticize
Archie Bunker is a great example of satire that just reinforced prejudice among the people watching All In The Family who were already bigoted. They don’t see themselves or Archie as the joke. So ultimately you’re just giving air time to bigotry if your satire isn’t both scathing and clear.
I don’t know who you’re quoting, but it’s not me. I didn’t make the joke and if someone were to be actually misogynist in my life I would speak up about it. This doesn’t bother me.
I know it’s not from you, it’s a quote about satire in general. I posted it because it was relevant to the conversation.
I don’t think just repeating misogynistic jokes without commentary and then blaming people for not knowing it was actually ironic misogyny and not “real” misogyny is effective at critiquing misogyny or beyond criticism.

Exactly. That and taking the piss out of people too sensitive to see that.

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.
The man is excited because he will no longer have to hand wash dishes.
The woman is disappointed as she doesn't wash dishes and therefore puts a lower value on the time the man will save form no longer hand washing.
Well, her name is one letter off of Cries after all.

My ex was so dead against us getting a dishwasher because he didn’t want to have to plumb it into a house we didn’t own and our landlord wasn’t interested in helping us out.
A month after he moved out, I bought one and it absolutely did change my life.
I also managed to flood my kitchen in the process 🙈
One of my happiest purchases in the last few years was an airfyer. lol
I'm still excited about my subwoofer.
Is your dog your main woofer?
I wish.
For real, thought everyone was overhyping them before I got one but it’s honestly crazy how much of a difference it makes and how convenient it is
@spacedancer @UhBell Airfyers are by far one of the best recent inventions ever made.
Right now I can't imagine my live without one of them.
We almost brought ours on our vacation lol
I don't have a microwave so I Air fry most leftovers. If I want popcorn I just make it on the stove. If I don't feel like doing that I guess I didn't really want it.
God yes! I use it for almost everything
It’s old tech, but pressure cookers are really cool as well.
Fuck, I'd be excited to win almost anything.
Not too proud to admit I got way too excited when I got my first Dyson. If anyone has animals with long hair, you'll understand.
My most treasured purchase is an $80 handheld vacuum that pulls all the cat hair from my rug.
My apartment doesn't even have a connection for a dishwasher but I'd take it
We managed to find a free-standing one with wheels and a nice top that just connects to the sink faucet. It's been pretty nice so far, might be worth looking around. We found ours 2nd hand for about $150, it was definitely worth it.
Yep was about to suggest this. There are similar setups for all in one washer dryer machines that are similar. I've seen tenants in bachelor suites or coin laundry buildings have both of these in a place. Pretty clever for a single person, because they pay very low rent in those types of places.
I do get excited now when going shopping for a moped or a set of bedsheets.
A couple weeks ago our city rolled out their new trash can program (with the trucks that have the side grabber arm thing). I got so excited when the new cans showed up (wheels!) and it was at that point I realized I'm getting old.
Bruh I haven't eaten in days because I can't afford meds and food at the same time.
I completely get it. I see Price is Right clips now, or Lets Make a Deal, and losing my mind when they get a dining set. That shits would net me groceries for months.
As far as I'm concerned I'm not a grown up until I have a washing machine and dishwasher of my own.
