I DON’T THINK GENDER HAS ANYTHING TO DO WITH NATURAL HUMOR ABILITY BECAUSE I’M NOT TRASH
By Jackie Farrell
Yesterday Thought Catalog, which is BuzzFeed for people who have read 10 pages of a Noam Chomsky book, published an article called “I Think Men Are Funnier Than Women, And I’m A Feminist” by a woman who, I guess, doesn’t understand what feminism is, or even basic gender theory.
The article is headed by an image of popular comedian Jon Stewart’s head photoshopped on to actor Jeffrey Dean Morgan as The Comedian from Watchmen. I feel like this is some weird avant-garde art because I can’t believe a human being could be so ignorant as to use a photo of a character who was written as a misogynist rapist and adapted into a movie by a man whose movies all heavily involve rape and sexism as an underlying theme (yes Zack Snyder of the cinematic horrors 300 and Sucker Punch) in an article that is supposedly about feminism. But let’s move on from there, perhaps that was not the author’s choice, and a thoughtless last-minute add-in by an editor, and move into the article.
Let’s assume that this article presents facts (it does not) and is not full of weird conjecture (it is). Let’s assume that men are inherently funnier than women. This would mean that inside the human genome there is some sort of “humor” gene that is only available for men. If this is true then it means that gender is also part of the human genome, as one must be born a man to be born with this coveted humor gene. If gender is genetic, then are trans* people just lying? Or are they born with the wrong “gender gene?” As a translady comedian do I beat the apparent natural difficulties of being a funny girl? Because I have a dick? Is the humor gene located in my Adam’s apple or my scrotum? If I get a vaginoplasty or a tracheal shave will I lose my natural wit? What does any of this mean?
So in author Caroline Mahon’s world where sex is gender and there are only boys and girls and boys are given the gift of laughter by a fairy godmother upon their birth perhaps men are funnier than women. But perhaps the reason there are more popular male comedians than female comedians is because there are simply more male comedians, and female comics who are doing things no man has truly done before them in comedy like Tig Notaro, Kristen Schaal, and Maria Bamford (to name three of the top of my head) aren’t given the publicity they deserve is because celebrity women are constantly reduced to a pair of breasts and legs on top of each other, rather than real human beings with opinions and ideas.
Maybe the reason there aren’t as many widely recognized female comedians is because throughout modern history women have been reduced to a household commodity and are the victims of violence and oppression all over the world.
So sorry, Caroline (do you mind if I call you that?), that women aren’t telling good enough jokes, when they’re being told from day one by people just like you that they can’t and shouldn’t even bother trying.
Here’s to every female comedian, no matter how good or bad your jokes are, for going up on a stage in front of drunk assholes and trying to entertain them. You rock. I’ll see you on stage someday.

how I discovered I was pansexual
- shit that guy’s hot
- oh fuck that girl’s hot too
- wait what trans people are hot as well
- damn sweet jesus I’m not sure what gender you are but you’re very hot
- is there a term for this condition
“trans” isn’t a gender and trans guys exist and trans girls exist and separating “trans people” from “guys” and “girls” isn’t a very nice thing to do sigh sigh sigh
true but like there is a difference to some people
like being bisexual doesn’t necessarily mean you would date a transgender male or female
honestly i don;t really understand all of the different terms or what they mean
this is confusing me and i don’t want to accidentally sound offensive because of ignorance to information
ahhh well
some people experience attraction based on genitals i guess and that is ok!!! that is not a problem
but listing people like “guys, girls and trans people” invalidates the identities of trans girls and boys and that is not ok UnU
hey guys!! i know you all mean well but when you say “boys, girls, and trans* people” it’s kind of offensive to trans* people who have binary identities so instead you should say “boys, girls, and nonbinary people” or if you want to differentiate between cis people there say “cis boys, cis girls, trans* people” or something instead okay??
cool

remember when i ponified “.” to “desu” and whenever someone tried to use an ellipsis they ended their sentences w/ “desu desu.” instead? i miss that
apple + cheese is a very vt thing we eat that all the time up here
you say “up here” as if i weren’t canadian
my point about ironic fans of rap music is why I can’t stand those shitty acoustic white ppl covers of rap songs
because you think it’s funny to juxtapose your whiteness with “ratchet” rap lyrics to show how “hilarious” you think the lyrics are when you try to put it in the context of an art form you find more legitimate and superior
you are completely stripping the music of it’s context and butchering it for your own amusement I can’t stand it
