It is another example of gender specific "humor". Humor is based, in part, on an unexpected ending/twist. You are expecting a racist or perhaps a cuckold joke and it turns out to be sexist instead. One just has to be aware of the audience gender mixture to predict the effectiveness of a given joke. Or it may just be that women dont really have a sense of humor that has the finely honed sensitivity of the typical straight male.

For example you may remember this one.

Adam was walking around the Garden of Eden feeling very lonely, so God asked Adam, "What is wrong with you?"

Adam said, "Lord, I don't have anyone to talk to."

God said, "Then I will give you a companion, and she will be called a 'woman'. This person will cook for you and wash your clothes, she will always agree with every decision you make. She will bear your children and never ask you to get up in the middle of the night to take care of them. She will not nag you, and will always be the first to admit she was wrong when you've had a disagreement. She will never have a headache, and will freely give 'love' and compassion whenever needed. She will never question your behaviour or the company you keep. She will support you and understand that you have important decisions to make throughout your life and don't have time for nonsense..."

Adam asked God, "What would she cost?"

God: "Your left arm..."

Adam:"What can I get for a rib?"

In my experience most women will smile while grimacing and giving me the evil eye, but know I am yanking their chains. You have to know them well enough, so that they know it isnt your real opinion. Its not advised for strangers or at the HR X-mas party. You just never know who might be on the verge from PMS. Which reminds me of another joke, but I dont think I know you all well enough...
