Of course, Louis C.K. is all too aware of the television double standard where average looking dudes get to hook up with modelesque women (last week's episode was about him hooking up with an actual model) and how women like Vanessa are rarely represented, especially not as a love interest. This episode, proving

Got that, little girls? It is your job to protect the men from their huge, uncontrollable lust. You just don't understand lust like the boys do. They cannot be expected to control themselves or behave like decent human beings, so it is your responsibility to see that those poor, weak men are safe from your mystical

I showed this and the previous article on Gawker to my dad. He actually turned red in the face and went on a 10 minute rant about rape culture, the inability of men to control themselves, and the injustice of punishing young girls for the behavior of adult men. I feel like I just got served on behalf of the school

That's the whole thing about this episode, and it's what she's taking about. It's not about attraction, it's about being afraid of what society thinks and letting that dictate the size of the people you're willing to date. These two had great chemistry and she's obviously put together and very pretty, she just has a

I hate how he's getting all of this credit for ~starting this conversation~ all of a sudden (the internet is LOOOVING this) but women have been trying to say EXACTLY what this episode is trying to say for. YEARS. No one cares until a straight white dude decides to talk about something.

Did you ever read that thing where they put up two identical online dating profiles for a women and at the end of one it said something like "I am a heroin addict and I am not going to change" and the other said "I am fat and I am not going to change" and waaaaayyyy more people wanted to date the drug addict. It's

Louie hit this one on the head. I've dated a lot of heavier girls and I've definitely felt the judgement from other men. The problem isn't that men don't like big girls; it's that men don't like the way other men look at them when they're with big girls. It's a societal issue that Louis illustrates flawlessly. It's

I don't smoke. I hardly ever drink. I don't do drugs. I like food. Food is delicious. Could I stand to lose at least 50 pounds? Probably. But I don't have horrible mental health issues and I do not have an inability to take care of myself.

If you are going to call someone a childish name, at least spell it correctly.

Seems like you missed the entire point of her argument. Her point is that she is exactly like Louie; unsure of herself, bad at dating, overweight and really sort of miserable. People care about Louie, they think his self-deprecation is adorable. As your statement proves...it's obviously not as endearing when a woman

Very few things scream "first world problems" like getting on the internet and whining about other first world problems.

The attitude of that sentence is extremely condescending though. You know what's also fraught with disappointment [aimed at author]? Being infertile (for whatever reason - young people are infertile too!) and wanting kids.

It says a lot about you that what you LOOOOVE is watching somebody egotistically annoy and pester other people who are just minding their own business. Of course, it's only funny to you because the people being pestered are female. If a six-year-old boy were pulling out other boys' shirttails instead of pulling

I think it's the work in combination with the title, which would likely be posted with the artwork.

"Trying to have children other than the old-fashioned way is wildly expensive and usually fraught with disappointment."

Good point! Why aren't we haranguing men who dare to postpone fatherhood until their 30s or beyond. ARE YOU TRYING TO MAKE ORPHANS, YOU SELFISH FUCKS? DON'T YOU WANT TO TEACH YOUR GRANDCHILDREN HOW TO FISH?

If the phrase rape culture meant that she was being blamed by her family and friends for what happened to her and that she expressed her disgust with that idea by creating, say, a drawing of a nude woman and censoring it to symbolize the absurdity of the (rather protestant) view that sexuality should be reined in at

Actually it wasn't for a school show. Surprisingly the school approved it. It was for a school sponsored showing at a public event called Artisphere, which had no entry guidelines.

Gee, thanks for letting the women know ! I guess they were wrong about this the whole time.
