I've heard that comedians often have to work harder than men comedians, and wow I can believe that that is true - she sung on one (perhaps more) of the recordings of "I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue", and it was just *epic*.

@neil This, although I have just muted someone for a long blog post saying that statistics show that it's literally every man literally offering violence to women, even gay men? OP looked male to me -- no pronouns in bio -- so I assume they were including themselves?

Lots of confused thinking about this, I think. Not your post, though.

I can't speak to a piece that I have not read, but if is around *fear* of violence / offering violence, then I could see the angle.

@neil wouldn't ask you to.

it seemed to me to be conflating trying to persuade women into sex with sexual violence. i'm not comfortable with the former, but (a) i really doubt that every man does that, and (b) in my mind it's very different from the latter.

it was all rather confusing.
