That stadium is insulting to all working women.

I didn't get the feeling from the article that Lindy feels that by changing the type of jokes, we can change the world. I also fully and whole-heartedly agree that the world changes through education. Education begins through dialogue, which is what is happening here.

Because sometimes, particularly when Lindy West is writing, there is an interesting conversation to be had.

As formal education is first on the chopping block, I applaud intelligent writers like Jezebel for holding professional comedians responsible for saying insulting, degrading jokes. If comedians and other persons in positions of power raise the bar and participate in educating the public about what should and should

Thank goodness Vogue is here to tell us! I will hang upon their every word since they're the ones who sell me my $4,000 dresses and $10,000 diamond tennis bracelets. All things I wanted (but didn't know I wanted!)

Thanks to Lenny Bruce, people can say profanities onstage. I'd say that's a pretty big fucking change.

I don't think she's saying that comedy needs to change first, or that it needs to change independently of society at large. She's saying that comedy is part of the society that we're trying to change. That saying, "It's just a joke!" is not actually a defense against valid criticism of destructive elements of comedy

Hear, motherfucking hear.

I witness those parties all the time. There are a lot in Toronto in the summer, they're done as dress-up picnics with theme food in the park. Trinity Bellwoods Park for fellow Torontonians.

Ain't no party like a Gatsby party, 'cause a Gatsby party is a metaphor for the emptiness of the American dream.

They're also not allowed to go outside and play by themselves anymore or run wild. Because now every mother is made to feel as if she personally deposited her kids into a pedophile's hands if her kid goes missing, or as if she beat them if they get a scraped knee. Nobody's going to the mall, the woods or anywhere

By all accounts at 32 I'm year too old to be a Millenial, and am the tail-end of Generation-X. Still I can't help but feel slighted too. If the generation who won World War II are the Greatest Generation, their children are the Worst Generation. They're the first generation who seem to be actively trying to make

I don't understand how any age group could be more narcissistic than the Baby Boomers.

For some annoying reason, this cartoon made my husband laugh and laugh. Bastard!

So true. Tired of the Rihanna hate on Jez. And I'm not even a fan.

Yeah... I've never been to a concert that started on time. Ever. Not 98 Degrees, not The Dresden Dolls, not Dolly Parton, not Rihanna, not Tegan and Sara (and they were opening, even). Maybe Ke$ha will break the chain, but for now, I don't see what Rihanna's done to get so much shame here. There's also the fact that

I was thinking this sounded like some sexism, as loads of male artists do the same thing and no one says a word, but your point has some serious validity.

Bizarrely, I'm reminded of...Sig Sig Sputnik. Kind of feeling weird about that.

First of all, thank you for providing examples.
