There was an editorial written about Tina Fey and Rachel Bloom. It was about strong females standing up to male gatekeepers...what the fuck is a male gatekeepers. It was so shallow and farty I had to stop reading before my brain burst.

I don't know who Rachel Bloom is but I do know about the relationship between Tina Fey and David Letterman. The editorial was partially about Fey being interviewed on his Netflix show. The editorial writer didn't have a clue, Fey and Dave's relationship has always prickly and standoffish - that's the way they like it. Dave would always win the ratings war with Leno each time Fey was on his show.

As for Rachel Bloom.

 
So... female comedians not letting men say they’re funny is empowering, and a man telling a woman she’s funny is condescending and misogynistic?

Ok. Sure, why not?
 
The Article was a waste of ink but I now know who Rachel Bloom is.

She has a show called Crazy Ex -Girlfriend and has also made appearances on I Zombie. She's also younger than I thought, her IMDB page says 30.

Looks like she's having her own Amy Schumer moment, some are saying she destroyed Bill Nye's credibility. That's the problem with pushing boundaries, more often you end up pissing against the wind. The Ray Bradbury clip worked, the Bill Nye clip did not. People react with extreme cruelty to boredom.

 
Please share your views on systemic racism too. I'm sure your epic tales living as a middle aged priveleged white male (shot in the dark guess) can lend so many life lessons such as the Starbucks barista getting your latte order wrong and other similar horrific experiences
 
Being a privileged middle aged male, I didn't invest in a $800.00 a coffee machine to drink Starbucks or Tim Horton's swill. And I still have my parents old espresso coffee pot as well. I was lucky, I took a number of dangerous jobs in my younger daze and made some important connections...and I don't drink latte - it goes through me like shit through a goose.

My views on racism, ok I'll toss you a bone. I've had numerous ethnic friends over the years. My black friends Abe and Eugene saved my ass from getting beaten bloody during a particularly violent strike, management attempted to bring in scabs. Recently I called my buddy Mahesh, I've described him in another thread. I asked him about the recent restaurant bombing, what's going on? He told me to fuck off. I gave a generous donation to the 2004 Tsunami Relief Fund which hit Sri Lanka hard (and temporarily halted The Civil War), I made it through Mahesh.

Hope this helps mclarkez1980.
 
Most won't admit it but women can be very cruel to each other...more so than men.

This is very true.

Over the years, my various Significant Others have spent far more time and energy dealing with other women and their nastiness than anything they ever received from a man. (Be that family, friends, coworkers, bosses, you name it.) And they (women) never let it go. (That's what amazes me.)
 
The Queen of Vapid (Lieneth Paltrow) showed up on The Howard Stern Show. The sad part is she's undermining the cases of women who were sexually assaulted by Harvey Weinstein. If she's subpoenaed to testify in his rape trial, charges against him could be dismissed.

I couldn't listen, it would have turned my stomach. I seriously doubt Stern bought her story, but he wasn't letting on.

...on to something more genuine and charming. A beer commercial babe!
