Update 4/1/2015 Women & Humour

During my meeting with Linda, it was suggested to me that one of the points I've made in my first paragraph about Chandler could be better backed up/supported by Robin Lakoff's theory. So since my meeting, I have done some research into why humour/comedy is a particularly masculine trait.

I have found some quotes that I will use in my essay:

"... women can't tell jokes - they are bound to ruin the punchline, they mix up the order of things and so on. Moreover, they don't 'get' jokes. In short, women have no sense of humor." (Lakoff, 1975)

"Females have traditionally been charactorised as unable to produce, or even appreciate, humor." (Sivric, 2012)
