I have a new piece up at Shakesville, regarding Netflix phenom
Nanette and women's "peak." A snippet:
"Near the end of her comedy special, after recounting previous
experiences of men assaulting her when she was younger, Gadsby
declares, 'I am in my prime. Would you test your strength out on me?' She defines
her peak and, consequently, it's determined by when she feels strong,
not by the extent to which men are comfortable or turned on. Indeed, to
the contrary, her entire routine as a comedian in her peak does, and
should, make many men feel deeply uncomfortable."
Check out
the whole thing!
