H'okay, so I've been listening to a lot of music made by females, which is why all of this is on my mind. I don't understand sexism. Whoever thought that women didn't deserve the same rights as men? As long as it can be scientifically proven (and it can, and has, and as far as I know no one's questioning it) that women are of the same species as men there should be no question as to whether or not we deserve the same pay or the same general rights as men. Just because genetically men are stronger (and with some, as we all know, this is not the case) doesn't mean that in the modern world they're still dominant.
Yes, back in prehistoric times it was the man's job to conk the sabertooth over the head and drag it home, which is where the notion of male dominance started. But nowadays that's completely irrelevant! Physical strength no longer equals superiority (hell just look at Bill Gates!). So how can men still view themselves as better? If we go according to Darwinism, a lot of men would die out. It's survival of the fittest, mate, so make your own goddamn sandwich.
And really, there's nothing at all funny about those "jokes". They're offensive and rude and completely outdated. When a guy friend tells me to shut up and get back in the kitchen, I slap him in the face. Really, sexist men, is that what you want? To have a permanent red mark on your face? I don't think so.
Also, thinking on physical strength, the female body was essentially created to handle intense pain. And it's very common knowledge that women handle pain way better than any man (just ask your local tattoo artist).
So all of these misogynists really aren't helping themselves. A woman's place is not in the kitchen, it is not having babies, and it is NOT making you a fucking sandwich. In the immortal (well, not yet, but someday immortal) words of Dee Plume and Sue Denim of the band Robots in Disguise- "We're double X and proud of it!"
