Bill Burr vs Feminists - The Scourge of Humanity

Hillary Clinton’s “gender card” politics is rubbing feminist Camille Paglia the wrong way.
In an interview with The Spectator, Paglia tells journalist Emily Hill that Clinton’s claim that her election to the presidency would break the final pane of the glass ceiling is balderdash:

It’s an outrage how she’s played the gender card. She is a woman without accomplishment. “I sponsored or co-sponsored 400 bills.” Oh really? These were bills to rename bridges and so forth. And the things she has accomplished have been like the destabilization of North Africa, causing refugees to flood into Italy… The woman is a disaster!

Having already voted once for Jill Stein of the Green Party, the 69-year-old professor of humanities at the University of the Arts in Philadelphia asserts she’s already voted for a woman for president, so it’s no big deal. Paglia’s view of feminism is light years away from the likes of Clinton and Madeleine Albright, who told young women there would be a “special place in hell” for them if they chose Bernie Sanders over Clinton.

“My philosophy of feminism, I call street-smart Amazon feminism,” Paglia explains. “I’m from an immigrant family. The way I was brought up was: the world is a dangerous place; you must learn to defend yourself. You can’t be a fool. You have to stay alert.”

Nowadays, however, the author of soon-to-be-published Free Women, Free Men: Sex, Gender, Feminism finds young girls are protected and coddled as they’re taught to become “helpless victims” when life becomes challenging.

“We are rocketing backwards here to the Victorian period with this belief that women are not capable of making decisions on their own,” she says. “This is not feminism — which is to achieve independent thought and action. There will never be equality of the sexes if we think that women are so handicapped they can’t look after themselves.”

And, of course, that is the image of women conveyed by Clinton and her feminist colleagues. At a recent campaign stop in Haverford, Pennsylvania, Clinton – with daughter Chelsea in tow – told an audience of mostly women and young people that women need taxpayer-funded assistance, courtesy of the government, from cradle to grave in order to survive.
When Amy Schumer pushes out racially insensitive content, the Twitterverse gets in formation. The familiar pattern popped up again last weekend, when the likable female comedian, for no explicable reason, did it again. Oops! This time, it was a lip-sync parody of Beyoncé’s “Formation”, a sonic celebration of black women, Beyoncé’s “nose with Jackson Five nostrils,” and “baby hair and afros.” To help her awkwardly grind and twerk her way through this ill-fitting material, Schumer enlisted Goldie Hawn, Wanda Sykes, and Joan Cusack, co-stars in her upcoming film. The result was a miscarriage of synergy; an off-key tribute that, for Schumer, is unfortunately on brand.
Contrary to popular belief, the millennial internet is not comprised of vigilante PC warriors, fervently reloading their “white feminist fucks up” Google alert. Seeing a Coachella chick wearing a feather headdress that’s two times her body weight does not make Twitter’s day. Watching Amy Schumer make an ill-informed comment for the umpteenth time is just as exhausting as reading the hundredth aggregation of irate Twitter clapbacks. On some days, it can feel like we are all stuck in a critical feedback loop of our own creation, retweeting our frustration into oblivion, and becoming parodies of our own social justice movement. If, as Schumer proudly quoted in the wake of this newest controversy, “You know you that bitch when you cause all this conversation,” then is all of this criticism only making Schumer more confident in her polarizing product? In a world where white feminists—Tina Fey, Amy Schumer, and Amy Poehler being the oft-cited trinity—are the undisputed queens of comedy, it can feel as though backlash further cements a binary between the humorless detractors and the buzzworthy celebrities.
The more we complain about Amy Schumer’s “Formation” parody, the more clicks it gets. Even Jay Z—Instagram husband of Beyoncé, outspoken advocate of Black Lives Matter—knew that there was money in watching a white woman fumble through his wife’s radical anthem. That’s why he released it exclusively on his streaming service Tidal.
