Actually. The original formula for standard birth control made the period biologically redundant because of the stop of hormones. There were catholic groups that found the idea offensive (oddly) that this was possible.
I agree with this as a whole but I gotta say about the last frame, there really are very few women who are actually funny. Ellen DeGeneres is a big time fluke, and likely only gets away with it because she's smart, cute and inoffensive. Rosie was all right for a while, but I think she kinda ruined her public image somehow. Are there any genuinely funny women that might be likely candidates for a late night show? Kristen Wiig? Maybe?
i would argue there are just as many famous female comedians as there are male ones on the sole basis of measuring who is actually funny and not a worthless joke-stealing hack.
also if you want to include funny actresses and authors the demographic starts to swing away from males.
men only think sarah silverman is funny because they want to fuck her.
Meh. She was funny in 2002. I went to see her live in 2007, and she was still doing jokes about how slovenly straight guys are and how great it is to have a gay best friend.
I'm sorry to disagree, but I think she started out with some really subversive queer humour, found a demographic who loved her, and then never wrote an original funny thing again.
I think that's probably the case and especially worthless jagoffs like Dane Cook, Carrot Top, and Seinfeld really throw the balance completely out the window. On the other hand, up until Julia Sweeney, Tina Fey and Kristen Wiig, what SNL women were ever actually funny? Gilda Radner was funny. That's about it as far as I can remember.
I think the point is that men-made and targeted features usually feature some dumpy, average-looking bum getting a gorgeous, successful, talented, smart, and funny woman based on...well, pretty much nothing.
I don't think I can buy that for the entertaiment industry, banking or some other industry maybe. If a woman starts writing youtube videos and they get 3 million hits each, you can bet that soon she will be writing for TV.
I hate calling people "woman [job]" not because I object to identifying their gender but because it just doesn't sound right. Like you wouldn't say "man journalist" you'd say "male journalist" if you felt the need to identify him as such.
