Talk:Humorless feminism
always interesting to see where people go ... i was thinking primarily of research focusing on comedy and humor that looks at gender distinctions, and the history of women's humor; and how that ties into aspersions cast on women and feminists. glad to see others raising the issues of sexist/racist/prejudicial humor, although it seems (to me) to be a somewhat different (albeit related) issue. ... certainly the relations of prejudicial humor to oppression/hierarchical class structures is an interesting topic that we have only begun to hint at. (probably we need to flesh out the further readings, though, because they primarily address the first issue--women's/feminist sense of humor or lack thereof. i haven't done much reading on the uses of prejudicial humor, so hopefully someone else can add some supportive "further readings"? )--LQ 09:25, 10 December 2006 (PST)

- Actually, rather than simply reversing without explanation, it would probably be more constructive to explain what was problematic in the edits. Whatever the reasoning behind people's contributions, I think it would be better to let them stand on their own. I liked some of the edits & think reverting with such evident hostility discourages participation. --LQ 11:07, 10 December 2006 (PST)
- Info concerning sexist humour per se belongs in a fucking different ENTRY THAN THIS ONE. And THIS here is a case of a guy stepping in to be effective ON MY BEHALF when he had NO FUCKING IDEA what I wanted to do, and I DO NOT THINK MY HOSTILITY IS MISPLACED. AT ALL. --Ide Cyan 11:09, 10 December 2006 (PST)
