I want to address something Jimmy Kimmel says here. "Comedy is very democratic. The people who are great, rise to the top; the people who are good, rise to the middle; and the people who aren’t good, don’t make it."http://www.vulture.com/2018/10/jimmy-kimmel-louis-c-k-comedy-cellar-comebacks.html?utm_campaign=vulture&utm_medium=s1&utm_source=tw …

I am much more likely to *naturally notice* things that vibrate on a frequency that thrums in my head, but as a curator, I can't confuse that with quality or meritocracy. So if you don't notice gender, if you "don't see color" with comics? You'll perpetuate your own limits.

I think it's so telling that the assumption is that it's compensating for others' limitations. There's never a consideration that maybe it's them.

This is drivel. C.K. will come back and those who don't like him won't come to his shows. Maybe if he asks all women in the audience permission to perform?... then, he has been in trouble for asking permission before...
