Re: The stereotype that "women aren't funny".

Cracked is interesting in that respect. There have been a few articles that kind of go into sexist issues, though I can't remember every single one. There's a few here(http://www.cracked.com/blog/5-reasons-your-online-dating-profile-isnt-working/), here (http://www.cracked.com/blog/5-responses-to-sexism-that-just-make-everything-worse/), and here (http://www.cracked.com/blog/4-ways-to-have-more-sex-right-now21-today21/). However, articles talking about sexism or misogyny tend to get the most vitriol thrown at them in the comments below. The same goes for articles that talk about racism.

So it's like, most of the Cracked Staff is for equality and being a decent person, where as a lot of the readers are the opposite. :/

I've noticed that trend, too. It makes me feel better that the bigoted comments on those types of articles get downvoted all to hell while the egalitarian ones get pushed up, which I like to think is part of why Cracked keep publishing them (the main reason being controversial clickbait). The readership isn't perfect, but it's not a cesspool where assholery automatically gets backpats like some internet forums.

I don't read Cracked much, but I get the feeling that the writers have a higher average maturity level than some of the readership because I've run across a number of articles written by men that basically amount to "Guys, you need to get your shit together and stop acting like childish douchecanoes. You'll be a lot happier and people will want to date you." I never read the comments, but presumably no one would write these things if they didn't think anyone needed to hear it.
