About

"World Ends Tomorrow: Women and Minorities Hardest Hit" refers to a joke headline that parodies liberal mass media's perceived focus on how a general problem affects groups that are perceived as vulnerable, such as women and minorities. First made by comedian Mort Sahl in the 1980s, in the 2020s the joke, altered to simply read "Women Most Affected," has been used to poke fun at articles that raise the issues of men struggling but choosing to focus on the negative impact it has on women.

Origin

The joke headline "World Ends: Women and Minorities Hardest Hit" is commonly ascribed to comedian Mort Sahl, who told it as early as 1988.[1] The conservative joke parodies a headline that could appear in liberal newspapers before the end of the world. Multiple versions of the joke exist, with one popular version being "World Ends: Poor and Minorities Hardest Hit." In the 1990s, the joke was also told by conservative talk radio host Rush Limbaugh.

6 November 1988, St. Louis (MO) Post-Dispatch, “Mort Sahl: Truth Funnier Than Fiction" by Rick Richmond, Pg. 2C: Sahl took out after the liberals by defining the way in which a liberal newspaper might report a nuclear exchange between the United States and the Soviet Union: "World Ends: Women and Minorities Hardest Hit."

Prior to 2019, the joke appeared in various articles and blog posts online. For example, on August 31st, 2005, National Review[2] used the joke to describe a recent headline by ABC News (shown below).

Here's ABC News: Poorest Hit Hardest By Hurricane Katrina Disaster Disproportionately Affects Those Who Can Least Afford It

On May 5th, 2019, YouTuber Shoe0nHead posted a snippet of an article that appeared in Harper's BAZAAR titled "Men Have No Friends and Women Bear the Burden," commenting with a version of the joke. The post (shown below) received over 590 reposts and 5,200 likes on X[3] in four years.

In the following years, the joke "women most affected" saw extensive use online, being used to comment on headlines that shifted focus from issues affecting males to how they affect women.

On January 7th, 2024, X[9] user @_rawrell quoted a headline "We Can't Compete With AI Girlfriends" with the joke. The post received over 960 reposts and 9,700 likes in five months (shown below, right).
