Feminism, misogyny and not giving a f*ck!

dhae_knight_1So... there I go again. Throwing myself head-first into a misogynistic... thing, on Facebook. Where one of my classmates (a woman), posts a picture of a German parking-space, "only for the ladies".
And immediately, a host of guys jump on the band-wagon, and starts making themselves funny about how these parking-spaces are half a meter wider than the regular parking-spaces and how "you'd still only park there, if you didn't mind getting your car scratched." And now one's pulled the "What are women doing outside, anyway? They should be in the kitchen, making me a sandwich!"-card.
I know it's Facebook. I know only one of these guys (the Sandwich-dude. I served him with a manwich). I know I should just let it go, but it pisses me off so. fucking. much.
How hard can it be, to not use sexist jokes, huh? How hard can it be to show that you actually think that women are worth as much as you are?
God, I miss a strong, feminist movement. :-/
