The proposed blackout day is also the night of a show headlined by all-black group 3Peat and featuring the monthly all-inclusive DiOversity Jam. It would be a shame to shun the only show at a major theater headlined by people of color because of an ill-timed boycott.

Even if we allow that false reports are a common occurrence (and I'm yet to see convincing proof that it is), doesn't that still leave a significant amount of true reports? Isn't that proof enough that, to phrase as elegantly as possible, that shit is supremely fucked up?

This is an issue in the Chicago stand up community as well. Female comedians are organizing to better address the hostile environment and support one another.
