That Time Huffington Post Failed in Arguing That Women are Funny

The He-Man Woman Haters Club

Comedy isn’t easy.  Being a woman isn’t easy.  Being a female comedian isn’t easy.  At least that’s what I thought for a long time, until the Huffington Post made sure I was Scared Cis.

Christopher Hitchens – a personal hero of mine – once wrote a scathing piece for Vanity Fair that claimed women aren’t funny.  He got shit on, hard, for the piece, but this isn’t about that.  I only brought it up because whenever someone talks about women and comedy, its referenced and I figured I should let people know that, yes, I do know about it, but, no, this isn’t that.

See, what had happened was … I get a text from a friend saying that every week the Huffington Post writes a post featuring the funniest tweets from women.  Funny is funny and I’m kind of a sucker for seeing more women in man areas (sup, Target bathrooms), so good for HuffPo, I thought.  Then I read the tweets and they do more to set back women than <insert topical reference here.>

Once again the gynecology nurse does not appreciate when I say “giving ya the ol’ razzle dazzle” while putting my feet in the stirrups

— katie (indoors) (@katefeetie) October 22, 2017

It would be funnier if she said, “Give it the ol’ razzle dazzle.”

Just sitting around being sacred today, as women do.

— Kashana (@kashanacauley) October 21, 2017

Is the joke that women aren’t sacred?

telling me to stop posting political things is the equivalent of telling me to smile more, thank you! *smiles so hard all my teeth shatter*

“Gals, we’re doing a piece on the funniest things women have tweeted and need some more.”

“Did you check all the supermodels’ accounts?”

Unless it was a slow week, HuffPo is throwing some passive aggressive shade in choosing *this* tweet as an example of Whitney being funny.

As in, “Just in the butt”?  Is that the joke?  Really?

Maybe the punchline is in another tweet?

I like to plan my outfit for dropping the kids off at school.
In fact, I often choose it the night before.
They're called "pajamas".
