What the fuck is up with the fact that SXSW comedy has booked TONS of male comedians and only ONE female, YET AT THE VERY SAME TIME and same part of the festival they have a panel about the tired old “Are women funny?” question, which involves exactly zero female comedians? (Note: this should be clear but I’m not criticizing the panel’s existence, it’s pretty clear this stuff still needs to be talked about.)

long, tired sigh.
found this on equalitymyth, a great tumblelog run by the women of newsweek.

also this, to balance out the suck that you just read:

Since we all came from a woman, got our name from a woman and our game from a woman - I wonder why we take from our women, why we rape our women, do we hate our women? I think it’s time to kill for our women, time to heal our women, be real to our women. And if we don’t we’ll have a race of babies that will hate the ladies that make the babies. And since a man can’t make one, he has no right to tell a woman when and where to create one.
