“Feminist humor” is one of those terms describing a hypothetical category, like “honest Democrat.” Anyway . . .
Cameron Esposito (born 1981) is an American comedian best known for her stand-up comedy, which often focuses on LGBTQ+ topics and references aspects of her lesbian identity. Originally from Chicago, Esposito now resides in Los Angeles with her fiancee and fellow comedian Rhea Butcher. . . .
Her comedic repertoire consists mainly of repeatedly mentioning that, in case you didn’t get it the first time, she’s a lesbian. It’s as if Jerry Seinfeld had made a career of standing onstage pointing out that he is Jew from New York, rather than actually, y’know, telling jokes. I mean, sure, there are fat comedians who make a lot of fat jokes, and black comedians who make a lot of black jokes, but in general comedy works best when it relates to universal human experience. And speaking of universal human experience, what’s the deal with all these dead babies, huh?
In the midst of the recent Planned Parenthood controversy, Cameron Esposito has some feelings on the matter — some very strong feelings.
The comedian recently took the stage to explain why Planned Parenthood is absolutely vital to everyone, not only women. . . .
“Women deserve access to abortion services. We f**king do because we’re not incubators.” . . .
“If you don’t want to pay for health care for people that live in poverty, then you should help women who live in poverty to not have children that they are not able to provide for,” Esposito says. “That is how you personally will not have to pay that bill.” . . .
“If you are a guy and you are against Planned Parenthood and you sleep with women — I hope to god it is infrequently.”
That’s what you call a “feminist punch line.”
You’re supposed to laughing.
No, really. Dead babies are hilarious. Ask any feminist.

“forced servitude”
Go spend some time in Syria, numbnutz. Your perspective might change for the better.
No, you can’t answer how a woman with no resources and alone cares for her child, and betters her own situation other than to say, ” that slut shouldn’t have gotten herself knocked up in the first place, and because she did now her and her offspring must suffer!” I generally loathe feminists but they’re right about one thing, people that are anti abortion hate women.
It’s better than committing murder.
For who? You? The person who has absolutely nothing to do with some woman you’re treating as an abstract and have no personal knowledge of? Hey, as long as you sleep better at night, no biggie!
Asking for what?
Go fuck yourself, idiot leftist troll. I have no more time for someone who would rather shed the blood of the innocent than accept responsibility for their own actions.
“This is a FEMINIST bookstore,sir! There IS no humor section!”
For some. For the overwhelming majority, it’s not.
“lack of opportunity for their offspring”
Like the opportunity to exit the womb?
And you do.
Of course.
Where did I say what you put in quotes?
Is that another one of YOUR “value judgments”?
It’s only empty moralizing to those empty of morals.
Hahahaha! Derp! Personal responsibility! Derp! Keep parroting that one! Oh, and the blood of innocents! Really? Pretty rich coming from right wing militarists who think every foreign policy dispute is solved with bombs that mutilate and kill real children, you fucking mindless authoritarian asshole.
You’re an ignorant idiot, and you’re wasting our time with your blather. Bored now.
The idea is that if you make a ” mistake”, you learn not to do it again. Because there is a price to be paid. Some of these idiots make the same “mistake” over and over.
Looks like our “troll-‘o-the-day” got tired and ran away.
And he never did answer my questions. So I haz a sad 🙁
You can always tell when a progtard has lost an argument. The tells are so obvious.
Every person is able to exercise personal responsibility every day. Even poor people. A person is unwilling not unable to exercise personal responsibility. You are saying murder is the only answer for not doing so.
“Esposito now resides in Los Angeles with her fiancee and fellow comedian Rhea Butcher.” Just like a man, can’t make that final commitment.
Typical libs: always shouting “stay out of our bedroom” while reaching for our wallets.
Thank you very much, Wombat.
Thankfully, Wombat put him out of our misery.
Ha! As if virgins exist. You might as well tell me to look for a unicorn.
I’m gonna just come out and say that he wasn’t gonna answer them, anyway.
Your morality, such as it is, is completely inverted. Wiping your own ass is personal responsibility. There is no “privilege” there. No one’s gonna wipe it for you. Expecting somone ELSE to sanitize your crack when you shit yourself is the definition of “privilege”.
Great point. So take yourself off this plane and exercise a very late term self abortion, since life is so unbearable. Hold yourself to your own standard.
So killing people is pragmatic? Hmmm…where have I heard that before?
Really, what you want is a *chaste* woman, which is not quite the same thing as a virgin. While a virgin is likely to be chaste — especially in the present culture, which is organized so as to shame young women into throwing away their virginity — technical virginity is no guarantee of chastity.
For instance, even in this day and age, I expect that there are a few women in America who might in honesty be called a “cock tease”, and I expect that some of these might technically be virgins. And, a “cock tease”, even if she is a virgin, is not chaste.
If she balloons up like lesbians tend to she won’t ever have to worry about anyone wanting to “incubate” anything in her dying womb.
The logic of the dead soul; “we’re doing them a favor by killing them” Want to volunteer to off yourself seeing as life isn’t that amazing?
lack of opportunity for their offspring? Are you commenting from Liberia or Bangladesh? This is America, there’s all the opportunity in the world if you want it. Your comments are cartoonish.
b.s., your stupidity is increasing exponentially with each comment.
you have little value as far as saying anything thoughtful. You bring nothing to the table
Spoken like a true disciple of the Nazi Margaret Sanger.
Well as long as the act was consensual then it’s a given that she was “asking for it” just as her partner was.
Heck, it being Friday night and all, there’s going to be a lot of asking and probably at least as much begging for it in the next 10 hours or so.
For “it” man…”it”.
I believe the phrase you’re looking for is “Life unworthy of life”

It’s not that life is so wonderful that we want to force more people to enjoy it. We all know that there are no guarantees in life.
We’d just like for them to have the opportunity to enjoy it…it not, and not have them deprived of it on account of “Whoops, I didn’t think that would happen!” or “Shit, it’s a boy.”
Is personal responsibility really mindless?
Wouldn’t you agree that having an abortion is an unpleasant (to say the least) experience for even the most willing pregnant woman? If practicing personal responsibility rather than poor judgement or lust would eliminate that woman going through such an experience wouldn’t she be better off?
Personal responsibility is not a mindless Conservative mantra. It’s a way of making one’s life more likely to be enjoyable.
Poor values = poor judgement.
“…wind up pregnant…”
Good catch man.
That certainly screams “It’s not my fault. Why do these things keep happening to me!?”
These people enjoy a life of not having to accept responsibility for their personal actions and then demanding that society accommodate the results of their poor choices.
Two words: The Loophole. (Or, you know, “butt stuff.” That works too.)

Murder is “pragmatic” hmmmm sounds eerily similar to nazis.
Your right, but why do we only allow women to kill babies in utero then? Mothers still live a life of “servitude” to children who are born. So if a woman loses her job or say just gets tired and needs a permanent vacation she should legally be able to off one of her kids, born or not. “Better dead than abandoned to foster care” or something like that.
Hedonist.
Pro choicers would pee themselves if it were socially acceptable.
No people do not just “have sex” if you recall there was a time, before the sexual revolution, when people were much more chaste and were careful to wait until they were in stable relationships like marriage before having sex. In fact there are people who still choose this option the Amish, the Mennonites, the Orthodox Jews, practicing Muslims and so on….
People who defend abortion with this logic are hedonists plain and simple. The love sex more than they love children or life. They are self destructive lovers of death who refuse to be accountable for any choice they make.
That’s why distinguished between a “technical virgin” and a chaste woman.
“Wind up pregnant.”
Did she trip?
