Speechless - you will be...

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.

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.
