And what does "dykey" even mean in this context?
It means that if Christopher Hitchens doesn't want to have sex with you, it doesn't matter whether or not you're funny.
Wesley: All right. I'm going to let you all in on something you may have trouble comprehending. I assure you however-- Gunn: Vampires are real. Wesley: I was telling!

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Bob and I think that it's because many groups of adolescent males prize a sense of humor, and that's rarely the case with girls growing up
I totally agree. Boys try to crack each other up, in my experience, more than girls do. I basically think it's nurture than nature, but I haven't yet done a survey.
I find that I am overtly socially rewarded for being funny these days, but only from other women. Not saying that guys don't like it--just that they're not wont to "ita's so funny! I like her!"
I do like funny in the menfolk. Really truly and badly. I even like "guy" humour executed properly (with wit, originality or just plain baseness--which is probably a chick-oriented definition of properly).

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Today I was told that they want to hire me at the place I've been working at, and I've agreed to it because I'll get benefits and paid days off again.
Whoo! Benefits good! One might even say they're beneficial!

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I am surrounded by funny people of all genders. Maybe it's what you grow up with. My Mom can't tell a joke to save her life but she is funny as hell.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
from my experience in libraries,(and a bit on the retail floor) somewhere between 11 and 13; girls lose their sense of humor, until at least age 15. I can joke with the boys in the library, but not the girls. Now this doesn't mean they don't joke with friends or family, but public humor isn't tolerated.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Sharon Osbourne is gross.
Also not funny.
I am funny and have attracted men via same.
Yay Shrift!

aka "The artist formerly known as Corwood Industries."
This Hitchens piece is totally crazy
It's been years since he's produced one that wasn't.

The Buffy thread is filled with watch and post, so I haven't been in recently. Don't know if this TV Guide article on the Buffy S8 comic was linked to there. From there you can see a few pages of it, and the last one made me laugh.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Interesting. But that last panel contains a spoiler of sorts.
