Women Aren’t Funny

It’s a well-known fact. That’s part of why women are crap, because they’ve got no sense of humor.

You know I think are especially unfunny? Diane Keaton. And Margaret Cho. And Amanda at Pandagon, who writes today about some new pseudo-science about exactly why women aren’t funny.

I think my favorite part of article is this:

A woman who deploys a typically male sense of humor—one that's aggressive or competitive—is a turnoff to men, says Don Nilsen, a linguistics professor at Arizona State University in Tempe and an expert on humor. Many men feel threatened, perceiving a funny woman as a rival or worrying that they'll become a target of her sharp tongue.

To which men, exactly, is that sense of humor a turn-off? Oh yeah—the kind of men no woman with a wicked sense of humor gives a diddly shit about.

Pfft.
