- "Jokes about blondes and women drivers are not just
harmless fun and games; instead, exposure to sexist humor can lead to
toleration of hostile feelings and discrimination against women,
according to new research. “Specifically, we propose that sexist humor
acts as a ‘releaser’ of prejudice,” says one of the researchers." - http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2007/11/071106083038.htm
Highly doubt anyone will come to the same conclusion about heightism. Short men have to learn to "take a joke" and "make fun of ourselves," despite
men's overall higher suicide rates, and the
correlation between height and suicide.
