Normally I wouldn't, but I think it's appropriate in this thread.

All those females with opinions and feelings I don't like, why must they look so unpleasing to the eye? Why can't they have large tits and post those tits on the Chive under "FLBP"? I can't fap to that. Ok, my feminist defences and senses are tingling. In the immortal words of Zack Ryder, are you serious bros? We're burying the person who did have a visceral, maybe misplaced response to a subject that bothers a lot of women and people in general. Even while it was in character, it's nice to reinforce the social standards that we have to shut a woman down by threatening sexual violence to her. I was trying to look at all sides, as I'm very much into free speech, hell, I probably improperly used MLK Jr. and Rosa Parks as ways to defend Chris Jericho kicking a flag. So obviously free speech is important to me. I'm reading around and I found this one quote, that again, it going to be a pretty feministic attitude I guess, but here it goes: That's a salon opinion piece by the way. Even with the character, just like with everything I debate about, it's the principle. So yeah, I guess my magic pixie princess part of me is a bit up in arms about the sexist attitudes and again, these are all likely jokes at the woman's expense, it's just a joke, which part of me understands, but I'm also uncomfortable in making fun of the appearance of the lady who was told he hoped she would be gang raped. So not only did Tosh, in character even, demean her with threats of sexual violence, now in the end, we must continue on with it with her appearance, because that's all that matters with women. Damn, I wonder if this is going to be another late night for me, haha. Can you please stop looking for hills to die on? You don't have to pick apart every comment and find how it demeans women. Seriously. It's getting more ridiculous now.

Damn, I wonder if this is going to be another late night for me, haha. I don't think you quite grasp what feminism is my friend. Tosh would have treated a man the same way. Knowing his comedic stylings he would have made the same joke if a man heckled him the same way. The most basic tenant of feminism is equality, not irrational reactions implausible situations. 'Feminists' (I use the quotes to denote they're feminists in name only, but don't understand what its actually about) who actually believe that a comedic routine from a stand-up comic somehow contributes to a rape culture would be lambasted by actual feminists. The very idea of a 'rape culture' itself is highly criticized by people like bell hooks and many in academia. Women, of any social situation, including having been made fun of by a comic, shouldn't be treated any differently than a man as it flies in the face of the core values of feminism. Sometimes feminist tendencies become so extreme that it crosses over from attempts at equality and into the realm of sexist behavior (in that women require special care and attention because they are women and can't defend themselves).

People have a right to be offended, but not a right to condemn others who don't feel the same way. I don't know why these arrogant types always think everyone should conform to their own personal emotion and fragile disposition. f*** them. Seriously. I don't care about what others don't find funny, and what offends them, if it doesn't offend me. But I'm not going to tell them they're wrong to feel it -- just to get up on a big soapbox and attack those who happen to find humor in the absurdity of a statement or joke never intended to be anything but ridiculous. It reeks of self-importance. And you know what? You're not that important. Grumble to yourself and never buy a ticket to a Tosh show again. That's your right. But keep your self-serving morality and conceited hivemind opinions to yourself.
Funny or not funny is subjective. Laugh or don't. The end.
