In this our year of the Lord 2018 we're still having conversations about whether women are funny or not?

People argue it's not biological determinism, but societal factors: men have to put themselves out there for a partner, so they have to give something. They can be handsome, smart OR funny. They call it the "Sex Market". Women don't really have to put themselves out there-
-
They get approached. Not saying I believe this, but most people do not argue it's biological factors (at least not in my experience with debates like these).
-
If you don't believe it then why are you up in my mentions spreading this MRA bullshit around? You think that argument isn't still rooted in biological determinism? It's just different wrapping on the same sexist nonsense.
-
Why is it sexist to point out very real biological differences between men and women, including those to do with cognition? I agree that averages can't be applied to every individual, but biology clearly still determines some things: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sex_differences_in_cognition …
-
For the record, I don't think humor would be one of those things, since some men are funny, some women are funny, some men aren't funny, and some women aren't funny.

Use more compact sentences. Also when is Feminist Frequency gonna get completed. You got near 160k and ran off
-
(Checks YouTube) Ages ago. More than was promised in the Kickstarter. I'm going to guess you weren't a backer?
-
Oh. My fault. The stolen gameplay footage, obsolete feminist theory, and the stunning lack of knowledge for the subject matter? Where'd the money go, again? Of course I wasn't a backer '
@anitasarkeesian is a textbook opportunist -
So she did, in fact, make the videos? No one forced me to give her money. She delivered more content than she initially promised. She had a wildly successful Kickstarter. That's not grifting, that's being popular.
-
It is the year of our lord 2018 and people are still claiming Anita is a con artist. This is the worst timeline.
-
To be fair, she delivered on her promises, that is TOTAL con artist behavior.
-
>she literally admits she only got into video games to language/thought police >strictly delivers shoddy information and/or cherry-picking >people like you two crayon eaters gave her 160k Truly gargling diarrhea and asking for seconds, I gotta say
-
She said that? Can you point to a citation for that? That would go a long way towards changing my mind if she's contradicted all her other public statements. Please post a link.

No, that's not true at all. Sure, women can be funny, it's just statistically more accurate to say that, on average, men are funnier. I'd also like to say that I am not a moron, and I can formulate my own opinions that are based on fact, unlike feelings. You can't say the same.
-
What fact? Can you cite the studies that show objectively that men are on average funnier than women?

I used to think ‘there are no funny female stand ups’ then I found out what an absolute horror show the stand up circuit is for women and Now im just amazed that any survive long enough to learn how to do standup while retaining their sense of humour

Ahh. The SJW life. Such a narrow line to walk. Obviously, Anita doesn't have full diversity among her writing crew. A moron writer would have objected to her tweet.
