“Thank you for sharing this! | truly appreciate your thoughts here. | read about this woman's complaint last week, and the whole event turned my stomach. What Tosh did was personally threatening, which is not OK. But even though | fall neatly into the feminist camp, | think your original joke is hilarious—within context, and coming from a comedian whose philosophy | identify with. Color me conflicted.” | think that kind of conflict is healthy. And then there was Louis C.K.’ s appearance on 7he Daily Show. This is what he told Jon Stewart between interruptions: “If this [controversy about Tosh] is like a fight between comedians and bloggers--hyperbole and garbage comes out of those two places, just uneducated, unfettered--it’ s also a fight between comedians and feminists, because they’ re natural enemies, because, stereotypically speaking, feminists can’ t take a joke, and on the other side, comedians can’ t take criticism. Comedians are big pussies. So to one side you say, ‘If you don’ t like a joke, stay out of the comedy clubs.’ To the other side you say, ‘If you don’ t like criticism, stop Googling yourself every ten seconds, because nobody’ s making you read it.’ It’ s positive. To me, all dialogue is positive. | think you should listen. HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_019100
