Me an my GF sometimes make jokes like this, from both ends, just to have a laugh at expense of those who mean these types of comments seriously. Its unimaginable to me to say, in serious manner "Woman, make me coffe, go back to the kitchen where you belong!", and when I do, we both know its a joke, I go to the kitchen and make my self a coffe because how incompetent I'd have to be if I can't pour some water in a fucking cup. We sometimes watch Czech Wife Swap and come people are just insufferable assholes.

Yeah but you also know her and specifically aren't doing it to make her uncomfortable.

Right, but you both know each other well and know each other's intentions when making such jokes.

That is just satirizing people say these things seriously, so it's perfectly fine. I do this too, but obviously only with people who know me well enough to know I'm not serious.

Made misogynist jokes with ex-wives and girlfriends, but you made me realize I can't do that with my wife. She doesn't understand some American humor and would take such a joke literally. If I said, "Go make me a sammich woman!", she'd ask what kind I would like.
