Shiiit, that's sexist!

lol the buffoon!

You can only vote on one answer.

...she becomes insulted, perhaps she yells " i do cross-fit!" and goes to lift the aforementioned perp.
Lel she can't. "A little help?!" she cries to the man, as if he should have been helping her all along. And help he does.

SO!

Is this a sexist narrative wherein a woman who is a cop, after all needs the help of a man? Or is it a series of events that, were she a man, would just be funny for the sake of a boast that fell flat?

Essentially, sexist or just good joke?

It's both, the narrative is sexist but the series of events is... uh, not a good joke? The context and circumstances of the question are also unclear.

This is like when a black person refers to another with the n*-word, it's often sarcastic banter, but a white person can't use it as a joke.

Or, that the factual account of events in itself generally can't be sexist, while a story made up for illustrating particular point of gender almost certainly is.

And that if you tell a joke about a Jew using stereotypes about a Jewish person, it's a different matter entirely from when you tell the same joke about different ethnicity.
