> When my female friends make funny sexist jokes, is that misandry?
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.
