So basically you complain about a woman who isn't funny being on the panel of a comedy show and then you complain that it gives men an excuse to complain that women aren't funny... Ok.

lol, ok so... first of all, no where in the secret does it say "men", it says "asshats" - plenty of people, men AND women, have said women aren't as funny as men - but hey, nice conclusion-jumping.

Secondly, the OPs argument is perfectly valid?? I'm not sure what fight you're trying to pick here, but by putting a female non-comedian on a comedy panel show FULL of male comedians, it does indeed give fuel to the asshats who want to accuse women of being unfunny. Because when the ONLY woman on a comedy panel show isn't funny, it's easy to point fingers and go "SEE??"

OP wasn't saying *WOMEN* in general aren't funny, just that Mel B, personally, isn't funny.

OP isn't saying women in general aren't funny, though. They're saying Mel B specifically isn't funny, and they don't want people using her to validate their shitty generalizations about women not being funny. I agree.

I could have done without OP calling her a cow, though.

AYRT

Ah, ok now it makes sense. I really didn't get the secret (maybe my reading comprehension really does suck), but now I do.

This is a pretty aggressively bad misreading of the secret

I think in the future you're going to want to work on your reading comprehension skills before you try and lay down the snark, anon.
