    "if i were to have called out "i think there should be some ball fondling at the end!" after a scene with two guys was over..." Oh, my god, I just LAUGHED out loud.

    Girl, true. This shit is everywhere. SNL... Temple... I just read "Feminism & Pop Culture" by Andi Zeisler, which is a short/funny(/depressing) overview of the last century of advertising/pop culture from a feminist standpoint, and it's really interesting. Once movies and shit get going, the leads always go to males. And women are wives or sluts. I think you'd like it. You can borrow it if you want! (It only took me a couple days to read.)
    Sandra Bullock got named top entertainer of the year and when I was reading about it, it said that only 2 actresses in the last decade(? 20 years? don't remember the dates, but I think the other woman was Julia Roberts) had gotten that honor. Duh! Blockbusters nearly always feature men... omg, sometimes watching TV is so painful for me because my brain just picks out sexism and then I'm less entertained. I want equality in my entertainment!!

    AMEN- you know my grudge against female comedians. They can only approach funny if they're lesbian, and it's really only because all they joke about is their period and sex lives and it's juuuust noooot funnnnnnny. However, you have made me almost pee my pants on many occasions, as have most of my female friends, shockingly NOT while discussing periods and sex lives. WHY can't girls just joke about anything and be hilarious too?!?!? Keep writing sketches with funny female leads please and teach the comedy world a few things about funny girls.
