Increasingly? Seriously? Was there ever a time when this subject wasn't moot? Funny has nothing to do with gender, and everything to do with how you choose to look at the world and the freakshow parade of lunatics running around in it. This is why I don't read Vanity Fair, and it's also why I like to make a concerted effort to ignore longwinded, pseudo highbrow explanations about the nature of people or the world. Instead, I just blithely carry on living my life as if the world were already just as it should be. This means that some people find me incredibly frustrating and/or annoying, and others think I'm refreshing or progressive or some other stupid thing, and most people have no idea what the hell to make of me. It really cuts down on my urge to kill everyone, though.
