Women in comedy? Don’t make me laugh!

In which Holly makes a triumphant return and chats a little bit about the barriers that stop more women from going into comedy. Missed you all, it’s well good to be back! ♥

This week’s TOPIC ANNOUNCEMENT should probably include a joke, but as a humourless feminist I can’t think of one, so reblog with your funniest jokes instead!

THIS WEEK: Women in Comedy

- Just in time for the first week of t

he Edinburgh Fringe Festival in Scotland. Hoorah!

NEXT WEEK: How to find support/other feminists

- This has been a frequently asked question from a lot of our new followers, so hopefully we can give a few tips and spread a little feminist love and support.

THE WEEK AFTER: Prude-shaming

- Re-scheduled from a few weeks ago, and one of the most popular topics in our recent Facebook poll. If you haven’t seen our previous videos on slut-shaming check ‘em out here:http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL985AE0A129213B08

And that’s it for this week! Remember if you’d like to do a guest video on these or any other topic then check out full details how here: http://bit.ly/OJNKfV and let us know! - Becca x

[First image shows British comedian Josie Long, a white woman with short brown hair, standing against a white wall smiling at the camera. It was taken by Idil Sukan on Flickr. 

Second image shows a black and white illustration of a woman looking thoughtful with the caption “I’m a Feminist, now what?” I’ve seen this image around a lot but have no idea of the original source. If anyone knows it I’ll add it in here.

Third image is of ThosePeskyDames very own Jenn, a young white woman with red hair and sunglasses on, holding a cardboard protest sign reading “This virgin/whore dichotomy is getting pretty fucking old.” Photo was taken at Slutwalk London 2011.]
