It’s no secret that sexism has grown so routine for many of us around the world. In employment, residences, and health care, women are treated unfairly. In particular, sexism and gender norms are intrinsic components of the strongly patriarchal institutions of Indian society. Both of these are linked because sexism is mostly based on the role of sex. The theoretical underpinning of Ambivalent Sexism is that it contains two components: ‘hostile sexism’ and ‘benevolent sexism.’ Hostile sexism reflects openly hostile assessments and gender stereotypes. Humor has the power, because of its lifelines, to entirely upset the meaning of a feeling, decent or condemnable. Humor implies to the recipient that standard principles of logic and common sense expectations do not apply.

Sexual humor has been part of many of the patriarchal civilizations for generations as a kind of conservative comedy. Sexist attitudes about women’s inferiority are the basis of such comedy. It depicts them as silly, irrational, dumb, and reckless and tends to build upon women’s sexual objection. Recent research of common themes of online mood shows that sex and gender on major websites are the most frequent issues (Shifman, 2007). These sexist concepts, which are essential to the mind of the creator, can be transmitted as memes in many ways and influence the consumer and in particular reflect on the way the consumer thinks.

Memes are significant only if they resonate with a user-minded thought, which talks a lot about the appeal of sexist memes. These reports feature women as objects for sex, dreadful spouses, and dumb blondes, which replicates ancient patriarchal views extensively documented. The results show that the Internet is still very popular. The shortage of what can be defined as ‘feminist’ writings contrasts markedly with the ubiquity of sexist jokes. Only two writings out of 150 were discovered to criticize the prevailing conditions in sexual relations, even those dealing exclusively with the private division of labor. Men refuse to accept that these memes are sexist ideologies. In each analysis, a high majority of males appear to reduce the gravity of the problem, maybe by subscribing to such sexist views that women are to be paid less than males. The root cause of such a problem is the deep patriarchal mindset, the is difficult to shake.
