Spare the mansplaining, Tom Carson. The call to inaction was not funny, nor was the rape joke. SunSeeker Aug 2017 #3
Maybe Megan should know what the word "satire" means before she opines about the bit? DRoseDARs Aug 2017 #4
So a man says a woman's satire about racism was great, doesn't mention gender at all muriel_volestrangler Aug 2017 #5
You noticed that, too, huh Warren DeMontague Aug 2017 #11
You do realize this is man pontificating in a PLAYBOY article? SunSeeker Aug 2017 #19
Perhaps he was "mansplaining" to other men? Wounded Bear Aug 2017 #24
Of course, because men look at Playboy for the articles. SunSeeker Aug 2017 #26
Many do, because Playboy has always had top notch text content to go with the porn. Wounded Bear Aug 2017 #28
Ok. SunSeeker Aug 2017 #29

How many "men" have been in the market for PG13 nudity in the last twenty years? Sen. Walter Sobchak Aug 2017 #37

Mansplaining is explaining with condescension, assuming the target is stupid. SunSeeker Aug 2017 #45
No, it's not. Because that's nothing to do with being a man. muriel_volestrangler Aug 2017 #46
I don't disagree with Fey. I just think a couple of her jokes weren't funny. SunSeeker Aug 2017 #48
That's not what mansplaing is JimmyCarlBlack Aug 2017 #50

Humor is subjective. The French thought Jerry Lewis was hilarious. Demit Aug 2017 #8
You really expect NBC to allow Fey to call people into the streets??? Barack_America Aug 2017 #17
Well, Fey did say she'd like to see 6'4" drag queens take to the steets. SunSeeker Aug 2017 #21
You're right, they did call 6'4" black drag queens into the streets. Barack_America Aug 2017 #27
I'd pay to see the look on those neo-Nazi faces though. bettyellen Aug 2017 #35
There is not anything about Nazi thugs that is funny. gordianot Aug 2017 #6

I didn't find fey's piece funny or interesting. I'm honestly confused why it is garnering so SweetieD Aug 2017 #43
I did find it odd how many people took a sketch comedy show seriously IronLionZion Aug 2017 #47
