Christopher Hitchens was a well known British intellectual, most famous for his atheism, his attacks on President Clinton, and the author of numerous books and articles. It is clear he meant this article to be very provocative, and he got a huge response especially from female comedians. How could you not get hate male if you include the following line in your article. There are more terrible female comedians than there are terrible male comedians, but there are some impressive ladies out there. Most of them, though, when you come to review the situation, are hefty or dykey or Jewish, or some combo of the three. The article is rather lengthy and fully included in the link, but the first paragraph follows.

One of the most classic outlaw country songs of all time. The President is a fink. |

Country music offends me on so many levels. I bought my first stereo in 1968 specifically to listen to classical music. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

Lots of good physical comedy in her show (which is a duo with a male). She's not the exception, but fringe festival stuff is definitely not mainstream (most of the time). I've seen other female clowns and comics at fringe, but she's by far the most memorable one. It is said that your life flashes before your eyes just before you die.... it's called Life |

Pacomartin Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 1068 Posts: 12569 | The argument is somewhat self serving. You could argue that woman are not genetically programmed to do mathematics. I've seen that in a lot of papers. The argument is based on the reality that most famous mathematicians have been men. |

At some point you have to overcome PC and ask if it is not true. Also must ignore the thing where people say, "women can be good at math, I know a great female math student!" But when you look at higher level math classes and they are beyond male dominated, well, you just have to ask why. The President is a fink. |
