Your point is that he sounds like an asshole? Because you badgered him for an explanation to a joke you obviously understood and he didn't give it to you nice enough?
Preemptively deciding you won't agree doesn't make him right. He preemptively decided you wouldn't be happy with his answer .. and he was correct.
By the way, I thought it was funny. I sent it to my wife and she thought it was funny and sent it to her mom. (No one asked for an explanation).
I never said this joke wasn't funny, I said it hates women. It made me laugh for a second, but then in the following two seconds I said, "oh, ew". Hating women is just so normalised in our society that it gets a pass under the banner of "edgy humour".
And the reason I wasn't swayed by the explanation is because it was essentially the same as mine. None of it is new information. You admitted my explanation is correct when you acknowledged that I clearly understood the joke.
So yeah, like I suspected, I'm not missing something here that makes this joke less misogynistic. Noone is telling me my characterisation of "haha he killed her and raped the corpse" is wrong, because it obviously isn't.
