So Stephen Fry thinks its ok

[(Anonymous)]

to attack the way a woman looks, and what more calls twitter toxic for calling him out on it. What a fucking waste of organs.

Re: So Stephen Fry thinks its ok

[(Anonymous)]

made a joke about costume designer (they are friends). http://www.telegraph.co.uk/fashion/people/so-who-is-the-bafta-bag-lady/

Apparently women are so weak, this joke was seen as the worst thing ever.

When Fry (rightfully) called twitter out as a bunch of whining, fear mongering assholes Twitter got more upset (thus proving his point).

It isn't working radfem. Give up while you are ahead. Or maybe post more ReturnofKings! That is super interesting.

Dunno what this is about, but I've never liked him as much as lots of people seem to.

And he's not in much of a position to criticize other people's looks...

Re: his looks

[(Anonymous)]

I KNOW! Who the fuck does that ugly chunky oaf think he is!?

Re: So Stephen Fry thinks its ok

[(Anonymous)]

LOL this was his "attack":

“Only one of the great cinematic costume designers would come to an awards ceremony dressed as a bag lady."

The designer in question, Jenny Beavan, is a personal friend of his and in on the joke. It was exactly the sort of mild teasing friends do to one another every single day, yet Twitter wants to throw a huge tantrum over it.

Hahaha. She did look a bit like a bag lady, let's face it.

Re: So Stephen Fry thinks its ok

[(Anonymous)]

I find it horrible that an othewrise educated man would not realise the cultural implications of criticising a woman for her appearance. I would think an openly gay man would understand the horror of being publicly belittled like that.

Re: So Stephen Fry thinks its ok

[(Anonymous)]

This is why I don't think gay men count as marginalised groups any more. they have all the privilege of their straight counterparts.

Re: So Stephen Fry thinks its ok

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah, I am sure dozens of women killed themselves over this comment. Oh no, wait. They didn't because it was a stupid joke between friends/colleagues during an awards show.

But I am sure the CULTURAL impact was huge.

*meanwhile halfway across the world* These 12 year old child brides have even more troubles now that some English celeb made a joke to a friend about being dressed like a bag lady. Their 40 year husbands are going to be so mad if they dress terribly.

Re: So Stephen Fry thinks its ok

[(Anonymous)]

You find it horrible... that a comedian made a joke.

They do that, you know. Sometimes it's good, sometimes it's bad. But they tend to make jokes often. Almost like it was their job.

Re: So Stephen Fry thinks its ok

[(Anonymous)]

Awww. This is precious, like watching a fat corgi pup trying to climb stairs.

Re: So Stephen Fry thinks its ok

[(Anonymous)]

I find it hilarious (By which I mean enraging) that gay men are incapable of seeing what women have to live with and how their own 'oppression' is just a faded shadow of the first and greatest discrimination of man against woman.

Re: So Stephen Fry thinks its ok

[(Anonymous)]

Stop replying to your own thread. It isn't working.

Re: So Stephen Fry thinks its ok

[(Anonymous)]

Does anyone else get the feeling the same anon is replying 3 or 4 times in this thread? Cause I do.

Re: So Stephen Fry thinks its ok

[(Anonymous)]

Oh come on! He made a barely even disagreeable joke about a personal friend.

Re: So Stephen Fry thinks its ok

[belladonna_took]

It's about what someone wore to an awards night. They print best and worst dressed lists in magazines and the social pages of newspapers for those things. Where are we drawing the line, exactly?

:s

Re: So Stephen Fry thinks its ok

[(Anonymous)]

Holy fucking shit, radfem anon, do not ever, and I mean, ever, watch a Don Rickles routine. Your delicate snowflake self would come absolutely unhinged.

So this OP thinks it's okay

[(Anonymous)]

To say that every woman should react to a situation in a way that agrees with OP's rigid worldview, whether said situation offends any given woman or not... almost oppression, really.

Re: So Stephen Fry thinks its ok

[cbrachyrhynchos]

I can walk and chew gum. I can respect Fry's opinion on some things but not others.

Re: So Stephen Fry thinks its ok

[(Anonymous)]

I think a lot of the commenters must be new here. People have been posting about is misogynistic remarks for years now. I remember when people used to be outraged by what he said. It's really sad that people are defending him just because he's a beloved comedian and because he's gay. Equality will have been established when we can look at someone who is part of a marginalized group objectively and still recognize when they are being asshats.
