Calling her a dishwasher is based on attitudes where women are the homeworkers. I see the joke as taking the piss out of people with that attitude, not the woman herself. We all know that she is a human being with thoughts and feelings like the rest of us and no one ever thought otherwise.

So it's funny because some people with that attitude exist, and therefore you make a joke those people would make? How is that different from saying a racist joke and claiming you're making fun of racists? (non-hostile question)

I mean, you don’t have to get somebody’s humor, but it’s funny because of how shocking and absurd it is. The same goes for some racist jokes imo.
