Do you understand the difference between women making sexual jokes and men making them?

Something along the lines of:

β€œMen are afraid that women will laugh at them. Women are afraid that men will kill them.”

? i.e. the context of men doing it is different, because men are violent/threatening/etc.

If so, I can assure you many consider this line of reasoning as unfairly demonising men. If not, can you explain to me the difference?

No, I don't think in sexist terms.

Why is it different?
