Dissent. The "How are your wife and my kids?" version of this joke relates to a primal fear of illegitimacy --- that your scarce resources are being expended for the preservation of someone else's genetic line. The "Does your mom still suck dick?" version of this joke is quite different and doesn't have anything to do with sexism or misogyny; it relates to an ancient "It's possible I'm your dad" joke, combined with the "I can't say I fucked and dominated you, because that would mean I'm gay, so I'll say I did the next best thing" rationalization. In this instance, the woman's involvement in the joke is peripheral to the male-male conflict.
