No, but it is misogyny. Well, At least my understanding of the word. I may be wrong in how the word is perceived, but I know the strict definition includes prejudice and making jokes that highlight prejudice may not indicate how you make decisions in life, but it puts prejudice in a good light and that has subtle but real impact on how people behave.
Hold on.
When my female friends make funny sexist jokes, is that misandry?
Sexist jokes are sexist, but I don't think sexist == misoginist/misandrist.
EDIT: To be clear, I mean when those women make sexist jokes about men. As in, sexism about/directed at men.
