Whitney Cummings is awesome. I'm not sure whether or not she identifies as a feminist, but she is certainly pro-women.
She also agrees with my stance on the infantilization of women. She talks about the school girl fantasy as making women into little children. Also shaving bald and spanking.
She talks about street harassment and how you never find a happy couple who met because he yelled obscene comments at her from the back of his friends pick-up truck while she was out jogging.
Then she talks about how much effort women make to be beautiful. "[It's] ridiculous because women are naturally beautiful, right? You guys (by which she means girls) don't need any make-up. Women wake up in the morning and are naturally beautiful. Period. You guys (by which she means boys) are disgusting." And "if we don't shave, we're lesbians." Becuase of course straight women only do things men find attractive. So if a women does something men consider to be a turn off, she's obviously actively trying to be unattractive to them.
Anyway, love her. Want more!
I was really looking forward to her comedy special, and am very peeved that I missed it. You do confirm that I would have liked it, though :-P
