Hat tip to Feministing
I have always had a difficulty with the sexism of the Wayan’s brothers’ work whilst at times appreciating their criticism of white privilege. But this put an end to any sense of latitude I had previously accorded them.
In many ways this is the worst sort of “post-“whatever “ironic” humour - for which I mean not ironic, not hunourous, just woman-hating.
Have your say
In order to keep this blog as a feminist and friendly space, comments will be subject to some rules. We do not seek to censor debate: the beauty of the internet is that anyone can set up their own blog or website to express their views.
- This blog is a safe and friendly space for feminists and feminist allies. Debate and critique are welcome where it is constructive and deepens analysis or understanding. Anti-feminist comments will not be approved. We get to decide what's anti-feminist.
- All comments must be approved by one of the bloggers. For this reason, there may be a delay before your comment appears.
- No sexist, racist, homophobic, transphobic, classist, ablist comments, comments which make personal attacks on any blogger or commenter, or comments that are otherwise deemed offensive by us will be posted.
- Trolls will be banned from commenting. We get to decide who is a troll.
- No anonymous comments - please feel free to use your real name or make one up, though.
- Be nice.

I really thought I wasn't easily shocked. But I gasped! I can laugh at so many things (even at risque jokes about abortion). But this?! Not ironic at all! Not funny, just misogyny pure. Horrible.
