But they weren't the stars.

No, they didn't want to see it because it didn't star Murray or Aykroyd or the rest. The backlash would be the same as if they cast male comedians. But people want to believe that it's all against women because some idiots online said "huh-huh, women aren't funny, all they're good for is turning men on" and people

Exactly what I was thinking.

People say a lot of stupid shit online, and there are plenty of people who take them at face value and assume their ridiculous remarks are emblematic of men in general.

Hey, Mommy, look, look! It's Superman!

Mmmm….beef.

It's not that sensitive an issue for me. I commented on it, and I hate euphemisms (actually, i kind of like them because they're funny) and I understand why writers do not use them because they don't want to get in trouble.
