with since women started working. It's not a make believe thing. It's real.

It's why a joke about a man being hit by a woman might be funny, but a joke about a woman being hit by a man would not be: because in reality, women ARE hit by men daily, and beaten up, and murdered. Every day. Lots of 'em.

A man was offended by the song The Tango (a/k/a "He had it coming&quot in the movie "Chicago." That a song about men being killed was funny or in a movie, that such a song being sung and danced by male criminals who'd murdered their significant others wouldn't have been in the movie. That's because in real life, there ARE a lot of male criminals who have brutally killed women. It's real. Whereas there aren't a lot of men being killed by women, not in self defense, in real life. It's something that women find humorous in a song, because not many women would actually commit violence like that against a man, any man.
