Her comedy seems to be geared toward anything that would or could offend. On a recent episode of her television show she joked about abortions saying that the last time she had one she kinda felt like it would not be the last time. She even picked up an abortion machine (whatever you call those things) and referred to it as "old friend".

Looking at her comedy objectively, I can see how she picks on some of the worst stereotypes on both sides of the issue. It does not seem clear what her stance is either, only that she knows it's a touchy subject and wants to push peoples buttons by appearing to make light of the topic.

Generally speaking I am attracted to extreme and very adult humor. But I can also understand why many people may prefer not to view such material. Part of me thinks that Sara Silverman is just using this type of shock humor to get people to pay attention to her. I am also willing to consider the possibility that she likes to explore social taboos.

Your thoughts?

* Disclaimer: I know it's just a song
http://www.cowboylyrics.com/lyrics/nelson-willie/mammas-dont-let-your-babies-grow-up-to-be-cowboys-2513.html

Since the character in the song is refering to males growing up to be "cowboys' and all the negative aspects of that life style, but it seems that it is more the boys father that is responsible for molding the boy into a responsible man and giving him a blue print to what a man is supposed to be. If the father is not in the childs life then the song might be more accurate but I think that as it is the song does no justice to fathers and shifts responsibility of one's children to the mother thus feeding the negative image that father's have in society.
Agree?

People who create new identities in order to report others, create confusion, spread ignorance, and speak what they really think so that their real YA! Id is not compromised?
Just curious as to the number of trolls you think do this.
Not that I really care what they think but I think it’s sad and pathetic that a person has such little going on in real life they obsess over other’s on the internet.

If you don't do what she wants or make her feel bad in some way, you obviously don't understand and you're an insensitive, uncaring jerk.

But as far as what you want her to understand, chances are you're a crybaby or childish or a sex maniac or immature or whining or angry, so pretty much anything a guy feels is WRONG, if its not something a woman can understand or identify with.

If not.. do they think a man going into a womans restroom is a pervert?

If one is and one isn't this would be a form or gender discrimination or sexism. Goes under the "all men are rapists" mentality, aka hypocrisy.

I'm talking about a woman's contribution to society in giving birth to, raising her children, running the household...? Why is that not valued anymore?
The only time you seem to be valued as a woman is when you're out there in the workforce getting the high exec job with the equality of pay and treatment. Feminists spent so long campaigning for the woman to be let out of the house into the workplace (not saying that's a bad thing) -- but what about re-establishing value back into the things that women do for society that has nothign to do with the workforce and career?
Families are the cornerstones of society -- isn't that valued anymore?

Study: May-December Romances Good for Human Race
http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,297076,00.html

Older men who shack up with much younger women keep the Grim Reaper at bay for the human population and extend our species' lifespan, new research claims.

Women often lose their reproductive capacity around age 50, but if men can still reproduce into their 70s, Darwin would say it's advantageous for males to live longer lives providing they can hook up with a woman capable of reproducing.

Natural selection should favor longevity-boosting genes, which would get passed down from fathers to both sons and daughters. So women would benefit as well in future generations, the scientists say.

Result: Over time, the older-guy-with-younger-gal lifestyle would lift the lifespan ceiling for both men and women in the next generations and so on.

- The reverse isn't true considering women's reproductive life is shorter than that of men.

How can we raise awareness of this, for everyone's benefit?

Those things work really well, but what about minimum wage people? What about peope that want to be loved for who they are? In the age of princess mentality and self-entitlement, is it still possible to find a girl who cares?

I mean I know it is supposedly 'fair' (the logic isn't really that good to show this anyway).. but if single women hardly ever vote the way I think is sensible and if married women vote the same way as their husbands most of the time anyway, then it is in what I consider the country's best interests that they don't vote right?

So by what reasoning am I to support women voting?

7. want attention when the football game is on

6. get upset that he didn't get you anything for your birthday, Christmas, or valentines day

5. tell him that you want him to do something romantic like a moonlight picnic and not have sex afterwards but just hold each other under the stars all night

4. get in the bed and cuddle up to him but don't have sex with him

3. Don't boost his ego all day everyday even though he rarely tries to boost yours as he lets you know you should be lucky to have him

2. Don't ever talk to him about a something that is bothering you they hate listening if sex isn't the end result

1.Don't ever get upset that he won't marry after you having been living with him and acting like his wife for 7 years.



If you can think of anything else feel free to add to the list.

I was taught not to cuss, spit, be loud, or make bodily noises around women. Always be cheerful and confident so they feel safe and protected. I was taught to avoid any emotional, provocative, or controversial topics no to hurt their feelings. Let them talk and never to contradict them because they like talking and feeling important. With gender boudaries so blurry these days, do you think these rules are outdated?
