Q: What did one saggy boob say to the other saggy boob?
A: “We better get some support before someone thinks we’re nuts!”
An old joke right? Still kinda snicker worthy and absurd, yes—-but it’s based on semblence of truth, thank you, gravity. You can make a saggy srotum joke in which gravity also affects.
As a woman who’s lived in and around the comedy work place for three decades, the above joke is just a joke.
But there will be people who’ll use this joke to further their cause, one way or another.
Sexism exists, but it can’t be used in politics with any real legitimacy. Why? Because it makes it too easy to cry foul. A woman can govern…. A man can raise children . Haven’t we risen above that? Any other time, funny comments made about gender in any capacity would just be a joke, a bit tasteless perhaps, but still a joke nonetheless. And probably funny.
Take for instance, Bernie Sanders. Do you think Hillary refers to him in private as a kind, older gentlemen? No. He’s like a political Trotsky and his campaign won’t die. I wonder how she refers to him in private?
Same with Trump. Like the axiom, does a tree falling in the the forest make sound if there’s no one to hear it? Does sexism if only exist if said in private? Or kept in a thought unspoken?
Now is not the time for Hillary to brag about the first viable female presidential candidate one minute, then shout sexism if Trump says something she can construe as being sexist, Trump, whethervhecwinsvoeb,odes has changed politics. For the good? For the better? I don’t know,but he’s certsinky made it more entertaining. And I don’t think campaigning will ever be thevsesr. Ol’ Hill has to get hip to that. And when the two debates and they will, if Donskd makes s comment about her cankles, she has to strike right back sbout his hair, his baby aspirin orange skin….or the ridiculous that kabuki white make up a Trump uses to highlight his eyes. This isn’t the time taking any kind of moral high ground. This is the time for good old. old school schoolyard name calling. We’re over the suave William F. Buckley approach, we want Triumph, The Insult Comic dog- type antics.
We want our politicians who representbus, to be like us, to think,walk and talk like us. Even if it’s just for show
And what does it matter how nasty it gets? Or even how polite and honorable it might get?. Look, here’s the truth—Politicians are like Radio and TV General Managers and five of my last boyfriends, if their mouths are moving, they’re lying.
