Chicks aren’t funny
It seems we haven’t shared Jenn’s women in comedy video yet, that’s a bit silly of us, let’s fix that now.
Jenn talks about why men think women aren’t funny, and how the comedy circuit is sexist. Who are your favourite female comedians and do you think it’s harder for female comedians?
Also in case you missed any of the other videos this week check out the handy dandy playlist here: http://bit.ly/QjuHYA

I promise I had actually finished making this video before midnight, it just took YEARS to actually upload to Youtube. Anyway, here you go, me talking about women in comedy.
**Trigger warning for rape jokes**
Sorry about the terrible lighting in this video.
Subi talks about the tired old claims about women in the world of comedy.

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
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.]
This week’s TOPIC ANNOUNCEMENT is titled “oh crap, I totally forgot it was Sunday yesterday”. So, moving on…
THIS WEEK: Gender stereotypes in toys, products and marketing for kids.
- The most voted for topic on our Facebook poll! You asked, you get.
NEXT WEEK: Women in comedy
- ‘cause it’s the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, woo!
THE WEEK AFTER: How to find support/other feminists
- This didn’t get so many votes, but it’s something a lot of people have asked us since our TV spot, and we figure those who did vote for it are probably those newest to feminism/who need the most support.
You may have noticed we’re not strictly following the order of our topics poll, but we have used it to shuffle around our schedule for the next few months. And we’ll run a new poll in a few weeks, and probably every month or so now, to make sure you’re still interested.
As ever if you’d like to do a guest video on these or any other feminist topic then please let us know!
Now I really need to get started on my video for this week, it may be another late one… - Becca x
[First image is of a three panel comic strip. The first panel is titled “boys toys” and shows a male child being given an exciting lego/mechano like toy, the second panel is titled “girls toys” and shows a female child being given a doll. The final panel is titled “subsequently…” and features two male characters asking why there are so few girl engineers. The comic is from Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal (although I rearranged the layout slightly)
Second 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.
Third 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.]
Happy Sunday everyone! Shall we do another TOPIC ANNOUNCEMENT then?
THIS WEEK: Women in Sport, because apparently there’s some big world sports day starting in four days time that’s making a lot of people very angry, excited, and a combination there of.
NEXT WEEK: ???? you tell us really. We’ll pick one of the most voted for topics from our Facebook poll at the end of next week, which means it’ll probably be gender stereotyping in toys and marketing for kids, BUT THAT COULD CHANGE.
THE WEEK AFTER: Women in Comedy, because it’s the start of the Edinburgh Fringe Festival and our Facebook poll suggests it’s one of the topics you want us to cover anyway.
A few more options* have been added to the topic poll since we first put it up too, so even if you’ve already voted it’s worth having a second look.
And remember if you’d like to make a guest video about any of the topics here, in the poll, or any thing else then please let us know. - Becca x
[First image shows a black and white line up of six women of different shapes, sizes and weights wearing swimwear. Underneath each woman is their name, their Olympic sport, their height and their weight.

Third image shows a white art deco question mark against a black background bordered by double white lines that cross in the corners.]
*I’ve removed a couple of topics that I thought were doubling up on ones already in the list, but if you see your topic missing and disagree please just let me know.
