[quote=Anonymous]This thread is just further evidence of how hard women have it in the world of comedy. True female comedians (there are still very few) are held to such a different standard. Why are some topics off limits for a white Jewish woman, but perfectly fine for black men, or wasp men? Imagine the outpouring of grief if Chris Rock were to pass? She was groundbreaking and a pioneer and stood up to critics and haters while paving the way for female comics and giving her huge fan base great laughs. This negativity and name-calling, labeling her a bully and a bitch, just shows what she faced as a female comic. Every half-decent comic hits on taboo topics, whether race, sexist jokes, ripping on celebrities, or whatever. But it's not okay for a woman to do it. Nice. [/quote]
