2. Feminist Criticism
This has been very crucially
concerned with books and
literature, so that feminist
criticism should not be seen as an
off-shoot or spin-off feminism
which is remote from the ultimate
aims of the movement, but as one
of its most practical ways of
influencing everyday conduct and
attitudes
Back-to-the-basics
movement
Battle cry
In order for medicine to be
effective, it must taste bad.

3. Reading jokes by removing gender bias
Feminism is a range of political movements,
ideologies, and social movements that share
a common goal, to define, establish, and
achieve political economic, personal and
social right for women.
In joke women is represented
sometime fool, sometime
beauty conscious, sometime
less intelligent, sometime as
object, gender bias on all
bases we can study joke with
the usage of feminism.

Where is real & covered structure of
society where women are beaten Actually she becomes the victim but
society predicts that male is victimized.
How sad it is!

6. Humor can offend, do we need to be
very careful?
-What If this was complained by
man?
-Why can’t one think woman may
have emergency work on internet?
Why PREM is at the
center?

7. Joke also requires fair degree of
sociolinguistic familiarity
Though patriarchy is encoded,
women is always blamed.
Why?
Does it not constructing
woman can’t ask anything to
her husband?
