It's like…I get it, you are an alcoholic and your wife left you, and you transferred your resentment of her onto women in general, and your only way of relating to the world is lashing out. But what you need is therapy, not a Netflix special.

White society think being black, brown, yellow, queer, gay, unfaithed and or alternatively-faithful is offensive. Anti-white society think being not black, not brown, not yellow, not queer, not gay, not unfaithed and or not adhering to an alternative faith is offensive.

To be clear though, I subscribe to that oft-repeated criticism of Gervais' "Just because you're offended doesn't mean you're right," as worded, "Just because you're being intentionally offensive doesn't mean you're right, either."

I remember Hannah Gadsby saying something like she's funnier than about 95% of famous male comedians and every time one of these things blows up I'm like, yeah, she's right.
