| Not that I agree ... ( 5 days ago by AshtrayWisdom) |
| Not that I agree with every comment, but the idea that men have to be funnier than women is 100% correct. |
| Men have to be ... ( 5 days ago by whiff1962) |
| Men have to be funnier? Really? And you believe this bit of Darwinian leger de main, one size fits all thinking to be true? Yeah, on the surface it seems to be an compelling, and quite nearly convincing argument, but then I saw the guys that my Sis-in-Laws are/have dated, and I conclude that the human animal is not so easily explained. Still, if you look at the animal kingdom, and humanity aggression has many ways of expressing itself, and that's what a woman wants, aggression, right? |
| To be more succinct ... ( 5 days ago by whiff1962) |
| To be more succinct, there are glaringly obvious gaps in Darwinian theory. But, then again, the theory of sexual selection came at a time when England was at its zenith, and the west was in need of a lodestar(read:Herbert Spencer). |

| Look at your grammar! then ask youself who the stupid one is. |
| I think it's true ... ( 4 days ago by ChickenGoujons) |
| I think it's true that some men feel the need to be funny, but I don't think they always succeed. In fact, I have a lot of girlfriends who I find considerably more funny than most of the boys I know. I also think that female humour can be more intelligent and biting than male humour. Also you don't have to be a "dyke" or "butch" or a Jew to be funny. What was that all about? |
| Cut the ... ( 4 days ago by KaminaGurren) |
| Cut the pseudo-intellectual babble and list some of these 'glaringly obvious gaps' that haven't been either remedied by modern science or soundly refuted a thousand times over. Regardless of what you think of Darwin ideas (and they were extremely impressive for their time), evolution is now at the heart of modern biology. You can't get around it. At least, I seriously doubt it. |
| Hahaha. Wow. Only ... ( 4 days ago by Nykytyne) |
| Hahaha. Wow. Only Hitchens would do this. |
| Actually, science ... ( 4 days ago by whiff1962) |
| Actually, science has taken a trajectory in a direction that Darwin influenced, and a lot of these "new" sciences are dispassionately revisiting Darwin as the template for all matters concerning evolution(irreducible complexity), and cell biology. Yes, as you openly admitted, Darwin was good for his time, but science has outstripped much of his mechanistic metaphors, etc. |
| All right, I don't ... ( 4 days ago by KaminaGurren) |
| All right, I don't object to anything you just said. However, based on the way you phrased the first comment, you seemed to be attacking the science of evolution as a whole, which is ridiculous in the face of modern advances. Correct me if I'm wrong, I shouldn't have assumed anything. You are clearly better read in this subject. I'm still in high school, and I havent' finished the Origin of Species yet. |

| Epic truth. People who cry misogyny can fuck right off. |
| Sarah Silverman and ... ( 2 days ago by blueprophet9) |
| Sarah Silverman and Kathleen Madigan are not funny. You're too nice. |
| Men are built ... ( 1 day ago by Dkberger) |
| Men are built intellectually to be different from women. We are more vulgar, more open-minded, etc. A woman might care what others think of her...whereas men barely care about anything at all. So, at least to men, a majority of women aren't funny. It's nothing to really argue about, women have the edge over men on every intellectual corner there is...but when it comes to comedy...well I guess we need at least one advantage besides physique huh? |
| Lol this made me ... ( 1 day ago by xxmonickkkkaxx) |
| Lol this made me laugh. I'd say most are dykes, jews and butch. |
| Right real misogyny ... ( 1 day ago by xxmonickkkkaxx) |
| Right real misogyny is living in Ethiopia and having your clit cut off for religious reasons. |
| Oh, C'mon man. They ... ( 1 day ago by RJGula) |
| Oh, C'mon man. They are a little bit funny. Don't be sooooo mean. Silverman and Madigan have a bit of talent. But, we can have disagreeable opinions. |
| Correction.... ... ( 1 day ago by RJGula) |
| Correction....Hitchens is 145% correct. |

| Well, Silverman can play the guitar. Hahaha, it's cool...the inner misogynist in me induces Dr. Stranglove moments to occur on my keyboard here and there. XD |

| As much as I deplore Hitchens, he's spot on here! |
| I think women are ... ( 9 hours ago by junkyjuice21) |
| I think women are so busy feeling shitty about themselves and their lives that they do not have time for humor. Also, I think it's partially that women don't want us men to enjoy our lives too much, so making us laugh would only brighten our day a little bit more. Women only use men for money, carrying groceries and making babies, atleast american women do anyway. However, it's curious that women make eachother laugh all the time. Maybe they really are funny? Who knows? |
