You know, I’m surprised the term “Dad Joke” has managed to survive this far in this day and age, and hasn’t been replaced by the term “Parent Joke” or something.

I’m surprised someone hasn’t complained that the term “Dad Joke” somehow perpetuates the stereotype that women, and mothers, cannot be funny, or are regarded as funny as male peers.

Calling them "dad jokes" strongly implies that it's the men who aren't funny.

There's a lot more social pressure for men to be funny, which is why the "Dad Joke" concept exists at all.
