The Feminist Fisherman

This joke plays on stereotypes about feminists. It takes the old proverb about teaching a man to fish and twists it. Instead of being grateful for the help, the feminist in the joke is portrayed as being overly independent and offended by the offer of assistance.

• If I teach man he is the fish I caught, will I no longer be a fisher of men?
• Give a man a fish, feed him for a day. Give a man a poison fish, feed him for a lifetime.
• Teach a Scouser to fish and he can eat for a day. Give him the rod and he will stick it in your letterbox and nick your car keys!
• "Poor old fool," thought the gentleman as he watched an old man fish in a puddle outside a pub. He invited the old man inside for a drink. The gentleman asked, "So how many have you caught today?" The old man replied, "You're the eighth."
