Did you just get out of intro to lit? Or did you run a wikipedia search for satire? I've read more satire than you think, doll. And "A Modest Proposal" was among them.

You're right, I don't — but this particular post got pinned a bunch of times in my newssfeed and I couldn't take it anymore.
I was trying to determine where you got your perception of me from, and, it is amusing to me because you're partially off base. While I am straight, I am not white. While I was not successfully raped, I did fight off two attackers.
THANK YOU. I, too, am an intelligent feminist who for some god-forsaken unintelligible reason, finds Daniel Tosh funny. I am so glad I'm not alone. Hold me.
I totally agree with you. Have you ever been to an open mic in NY— arguably one of the three centers of comedy in America?
Did Mr. Tosh ask members of the audience to go rape her? No.
My point is exactly that real suffering is fair game for comedy.
You're stereotyping me as a straight white woman, are you not?
Right on. The pain and suffering of our "fellow human beings". But when it's men, it's a successful FunnyOrDie sketch or a Rob Schneider movie.
I would find that hilarious.
You know, a post like this is why I can't read Jezebel articles. I'm a woman. I'm a reasonably smart woman. And, through some sort of fucked up prick magic, I find Daniel Tosh funny.
Glad to know I'm not the only crazy person who thinks thin-skinned people need to stay away from stand-up shows. Or, you know, have the decency not to interrupt.
