The Pole vs. The Hole

Germaine Greer, whose most notable work, The Female Eunuch, argued that women are not aware of how much they are taught to hate themselves, has written an essay for The Guardian about how women aren’t as funny as men. Well, she says that women are "droll," but "men [are driven] to more and more outrageous and bizarre mental acrobatics, to stay ahead of the game and have the last laugh. The greater the pressure, the faster the firing of neurons in the male brain." And she also says, “Women famously cannot learn jokes.”

Hey, Germaine, why don’t you read between your own lines: "When they are not running themselves down, women comedians are often astonishingly vicious towards other women."
