This paper attempts to investigate a sexual selection-based argument about the significance of humor in courtship. The huge range of Dickensian sexual humor suggests that the extroversion of female characters is associated with their inferior position. Females were formerly under-represented in producing humor. Jokes and humorous acts were primarily associated with males, particularly in the domain of sexual humor. Dickens' use of sexual humor is evidence for the critic and becomes a valuable tool for revealing gender stereotypes in the 19??h century. In this study, the social and cultural context were included in order to articulate more clearly and thereby understand more completely the different stereotypes of gender. Dickens shows that bureaucracy and the bourgeoisie were the initial causes of the sexual selection-based argument regarding females. By understanding the art of humor, which consists of idiomatic expressions and the social and cultural context, the reader can better distinguish the distinctive gender stereotypes through sexual humor, while at the same time, sexual humor can be performed as a strategy to attack society's inaccurate perceptions of women.
