Have you never heard a sexist joke at work? That's misogyny in the tech industry. Hold on. When my female friends make funny sexist jokes, is that misandry?

Sexist jokes are sexist, but I don't think sexist == misoginist/misandrist.
EDIT: To be clear, I mean when those women make sexist jokes about men. As in, sexism about/directed at men.

I may be wrong in how the word is perceived, but I know the strict definition includes prejudice and making jokes that highlight prejudice may not indicate how you make decisions in life, but it puts prejudice in a good light and that has subtle but real impact on how people behave.
