If you read it more carefully I think you'll see that it's transphobia rather than misogyny.

Rampant misogyny? You completely devalue the language with such wild over exaggeration. Women are badly downtrodden across much of the world, that is misogyny. There is literally no comparison to a joke about a fictional woman with a bit of facial hair!
It may also surprise you to learn that humour/ comedy has a pretty strong track-record of exploiting stereotypes, pushing acceptable boundaries and deliberately causing offence.
If you don't find it funny, that's fine. Just ignore it. Nobody is compelling you to visit this corner of the forum. And if you're offended by anything on this thread, please don't ever go to a stand-up show.

That joke was courtesy of my wife. Disappointingly she hasn't got a beard.

Yes, liked the setup, but no punchline. Must have been a post alternative joke.

At the risk of appearing ornithophobic...
A man owns a parrot that can't stop swearing. So he says to him, 'If you don't stop swearing, I'll put you in the fridge.' The parrot keeps on swearing. So he puts it in the fridge. Five minutes later, he takes the parrot out of the fridge, and says to it, 'Are you going to stop swearing?' 'Yes,' says the parrot. 'But what did that chicken do?'

An American friend was in hospital recently, she was told that her insurance didn’t cover modern anaesthetic.
She was offered more traditional methods or to be hit round the back of the head with a paddle.
She asked if she could have both, and was told “no, it’s an ether/oar situation.”

I was given some Sooty and Sweep puppets for Christmas but they’re a bit too small, so I’m passing them on if anyone wants them.
I don’t want any money for them, I’m just looking for someone to come and take them off my hands.

I just read a list entitled "100 things to do before you die"
I was really surprised that it didn't include "Yell for help"

Tom finally decided to tie the knot with his long time girlfriend. One evening, after the honeymoon, he was cleaning one of his hot rod cars for an upcoming show. His wife was standing there at the bench watching him. After a long period of silence she finally speaks. "Tom, I've just been thinking. Now that we are married maybe it's time you stopped spending all your time out here in the garage and you probably should consider selling all your cars." Tom gets a horrified look on his face. She says, "Darling, what's wrong?" "For a minute there you were starting to sound like my ex-wife." "Ex-wife”, she screams, "You never told me you were married before!"
Tom replied "I wasn't".
Tom replied "I wasn't".

An atheist was spending a quiet day fishing when suddenly his boat was attacked by the Loch Ness monster. In one easy flip, the beast tossed him and his boat high into the air. Then it opened its mouth to swallow both. As the man sailed head over heels, he cried out, “Oh my God! Please help me!” At once the ferocious attack scene froze in place, and as the atheist hung in mid-air, a booming voice came down from the clouds, “I thought you didn’t believe in Me!” “Come on God, give me a break!” the man pleaded. “Two minutes ago I didn’t believe in the Loch Ness monster either!”
