      In this our year of the Lord 2018 we're still having conversations about whether women are funny or not? 🤦🏻‍♀️https://www.thecut.com/2018/05/david-letterman-netflix-tina-fey-interview.html …

      If your comedy show doesn't have a significant percentage of marginalized voices, not only people of colour and women and women of colour but queer folks, disabled folks etc, then you are missing out on incredibly rich, complex perspectives that would only make it better.

      Too many shows bring on token hires: just one woman or one person of colour on a team of otherwise white dudes and feel satisfied like they've fulfilled their "diversity quota" or whatever. And TBH those tend to be the most boring and unimaginative shows.

      To still hold the painfully false stance that women just aren't really that funny is biological determinism, the belief that men and women are born with different intellectual capacities, in this case humour, well, then, you are most definitely a moron.

      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.

          Because I'm bringing to your attention an argument that exists? It's better and easier to confront something if you know and understand the root of it. No, it's not rooted in biological determinism, but societal factors. It's like the difference between sex and gender.

          On the whole men aren't very nice to look at, so we have to compensate in other strengths - comedy being one potential area to increase 'market value.' How on earth is that MRA?
