    'Academics are being harassed over their research into transgender issues'. That's *research*. Ask yourself this, do people on the 'right side of history' tend to suppress research? Do they tend to try to silence people trying to discuss the presence or absence of that research?

    I don't know how Reeves & Mortimer do it but that somehow taps in to the *idea* of Noel Edmonds on some pre-conscious level. See also the levitating, cutlery-fingered Loyd Grossman in their Masterchef sketch. It's ineffable. It cannot be Effed.

    It's like music when it's like that. It's the closest comedy gets to music. Maybe because it's mysterious. *WHY IS THIS SO FUNNY?* Here's another example

    "Yes, here under the shadow of this great tree, I have found peace." Why is that so funny? My favourite kind of comedy is on that level, it feels like music when it's at that level. I wish I could hit that level even 10% of the time.

    I don't know why, but "dance of a proud people" reminds me of this great story about Mike Nichols meeting Buck Henry.

    "Let's be less concerned about certainty" is a hell of a thing to say to parents.

    Yeah, they're both coming from the same starting point: that women are, in some mysterious way, shit. Misogyny is non-partisan. Look at the dismissive tone adopted by both sides on subjects like the Women's March.

    The longer version of this dingbat quote is if anything even better. Trump says that Democrats will destroy Obamacare and that Obamacare is good. Then he says how McCain prevented Trump from destroying Obamacare but don't worry he's still going to destroy it next year.

    I mean the complete absence of debate, the *worship* and elevation of entitled white men, the very real fear that women are made to feel about engaging with the issue...as cults go, it's Scientology to gamergate's van of weirdos from 'Mandy'

    Me neither. It all hit me over a couple of days about a year ago. Still reeling.

    I can't tell you how horrifying it is to me that the most successful backlash against women's rights and gay rights has come from the Left rather than the Right. I never saw it coming.

    I know I tweet a lot about this stuff but it's just so mindblowing to me that progressives are taking a line that is anti-woman, anti-gay and pro-woo. Every new example just floors me.

    Bullying male children for not being masculine enough *is* male socialisation. Trying to beat femininity out of male children *is* male socialisation. If you haven't noticed that's what feminists are opposing, you haven't been listening.
