Feminist Comedians: Margaret Cho, Wanda Sykes, & Amy Poehler by alice bee toklas, at burst market 1:24 am / 01 October 2011
I've been researching feminist comedians for a project and found some hilarious clips from Margaret Cho's and Wanda Sykes' standup.
Margaret Cho on monogamy:
& on race:
Wanda Sykes on what Obama means for black people:
& on detachable vaginae:
& Wanda again on "reverse racism":
I also came across Amy Poehler's Smart Girls at the Party video series. In it, she interviews young girls (around ages 7-10) about their interests. It's fascinating! Here's an interview with a 7-year old feminist, Ruby.
I also liked this one with 10-year old writer, Cameron.
Introducing: Kenaudra, the 10-year old dancer (& steel pan drummer).
It's long nights of (this kind of) research that remind me why I chose to focus on cultural production. Enjoy the fruits of my (non-)labor!
