Get the Solo Aviators Division mug.The difference in what qualifies as sarcasm to women, when compared to what is considered sarcasm to men.
A man's use and recognition of sarcasm refers to a witty, clever, or smart-ass response or comment. This type of remark is used to mock, satirize, make humorous, express frustration with a conversation, etc. It is given with a derisive tone or affectation. A man who is sarcastic is smart, well thought out, and quick witted.
What qualifies as sarcasm among women is simply a response or comment that would be considered normal and completely bland within the conversation that it is a part of. However, solely the use of a mocking tone or affectation in a woman's voice allows them to label their response or themselves as sarcastic. Women who view themselves as sassy, or sarcastic will try to work this tone into conversation often, even though the content of their response was not quick witted or clever in any way.
In short: For men, sarcasm is about the content of the comment. It can be provocative but is always sharp, clever and can show the speaker to be intelligent and humorous.
For women, sarcasm is an ordinary, even sometimes dull response that is given in an ironic or mocking tone. No type of biting or quick content is used in this kind of comment.

A man: "I don't know, maybe the same day you decide you don't like talking to a camera every night to try and make strangers laugh at you". (spoken in a biting yet humorous tone, to inform all parties that the comment is meant to be taken playfully)
Viewer: " Hmm, I don't think a man would be considered sarcastic if he gave the same response as she just did, people would probably think he was boring. Oh well, just another example of the Aubrey Plaza division at work!"

Get the The Aubrey Plaza Division mug.Most middle management in alot of industries have to tick at least one diversity box to be allowed to be promoted however a diversity hire was taken on purely to tick boxes and usually more than one. Example black, transgender lesbian head if HR equality department.
Why would someone so stupid be given a management position when there was lots of better candidates?
The company needed to reduce the gender pay gap so had to do a diversity hire.
