…Which I am not, but who I wish to speak for because they cannot speak out without risking their livelihoods (see also: That Whole Daily Show thing):

What the fuck is up with the fact that SXSW comedy has booked TONS of male comedians and only ONE female, YET AT THE VERY SAME TIME and same part of the festival they have a panel about the tired old “Are women funny?” question, which involves exactly zero female comedians? (Note: this should be clear but I’m not criticizing the panel’s existence, it’s pretty clear this stuff still needs to be talked about.)

Wow. This is ridiculous.
