Interesting that her partner isn’t Lebron James in the analogy. He also needs a team to win so she could have said, even Lebon James needs team mates to win the game. But she didn’t, she relegated her partner to the less valuable role, wonder what that choice indicates…
It’s funny because some guys get mad about a woman using a vibrator, but would be thrilled to give LeBron an assist.
They have no problem being cooperative in some settings, but in the bedroom feel like it’s a solo performance.
It’s especially funny because sex, of all things, is basically defined by the cooperative nature; you aren’t there to win points, you’re just trying to have a good time.
So in summary, it’s funny because it reverses expectations; the imaginary partner like cooperating in a competitive scenario, but gets competitive in a cooperative one.
I think it has more to do with my sense of humor than my opinions. Some people can’t laugh at things they find objectionable. Some people struggle to find humor in certain situations.
Funny is not an intrinsic property of a bit, it’s subjective. There are people who hardly laugh at anything. Funny is in the laugh of the beholder.

A joke, it indicates a joke made by a stand up. You know, comedy. It’s not a confession of deeply held beliefs, jfc.
Then why is it funny?
It’s funny because it will trigger guys who feel emasculated by vibrators
It’s ok to hurt these people?

People have different preferences in different situations, is that a bad thing somehow?
No, but it is kinda funny. Maybe it’s not to your taste, humor is pretty subjective.
Would it be funny if you didn’t agree with part of it?
I think it has more to do with my sense of humor than my opinions. Some people can’t laugh at things they find objectionable. Some people struggle to find humor in certain situations.

Don’t get too inceled by her joke.
Can I get disappointed at the underlying cruelty of making jokes about people’s insecurities?
If you are made to feel insecure about this woman’s joke then you are the problem she is joking about.
How is a vibrator making you insecure?
Please tell me, I’ll wait…
Having insecurities is a problem?
