I don’t love the “haha, women are hysterical” tone here, but also it’s a solid pun. So I say bravo to your shitpost. Anywhere else and it would not have been received well.

I laughed because the idea of actually saying this to someone is hilarious.
Hmm, better save it for an opportune time.

Yeah, it rides the line where you may have to explain why you’re laughing in case some idiot sexist thinks you’re one of them.

Oh jeez, your comment reminded me of something.
My boyfriend used to tell the following joke: “Have you heard about the Mexican magician? He counted from uno to dos, then disappeared without a tres (trace).”
It definitely has a “had me in the first half” racist vibe, while not actually being problematic. Except one time he told it to someone who turned out to actually be an idiot racist. He was too stupid to understand the language pun, but heard “Mexican” in a joke and took it as an opening to tell some truly racist “jokes.”
I’ll sometimes tell the joke still by modifying it to “Spanish-speaking magician,” but I am very intentional about my audience after that experience.
