Exactly. It's infuriating that whatever white male comedians talk about is normal and anything outside of that experience is somehow wrong or not valid as comedy material? What bullshit.

I actually don't get the "period" complaint because in my experience, in terms of living as a human... female comedians mostly talk about feeling horny, mundane aspects of daily life and being a parent and/or having ageing relatives, which (spoiler alert) the men do too?

As for comedians in any other marginalised group, I love it when they talk about their experiences and especially when they turn it back on their audience. Good. More people should be made to feel uncomfortable for not thinking about this stuff. But it's also hilarious and teaches you something.

I think it comes from a place where a lot of men are ignorant and squeamish about "women stuff" in a way that's completely irrational. Your balls aren't going to shrivel up and drop up just because you know how a uterus works, you massive piss-baby. You live in a world where roughly half the population are women, you have female relatives, partners and maybe even children. Only white guys can turn an embarrassing lack of knowledge about half the world's population into a sacred monument to their own fragile masculinity.
