  • Singer and activist Nellie McKay happens to have a sense of humor, which she knows is considered rare, if not bizarre, by anyone who is not a feminist.

    Lol I'm a full on lefty and I adore Nelly and I know this song is ment to be ironic but being totally honest certain types of feminists does have do no sense of humour, some border on militant and terrifying lol so their is a grain of truth to this line of thinking

      However that statement can apply to pretty much any "group"

      Any large group is guaranteed to contain some nuts and wack-a-doodles. Feminism happens to have some of the most, uh, _vocal and uptight_ as any.
      If it had (at least a quasi-comprehensible) cosmology and definite statements concerning 'what happens after we die", it would be a religion. Some consider it to be such already.

      She's anachronistic - her style and repertoire is digging well back to 19th C. Most people can't remember or value much about _any_ culture before the 1960s.
      Appreciation of her sort of musicianship (regardless of era) is not valued as much as it used to be.

      @@PumpedAaron The sad SAD truth is this: nobody has assurance of freedom from sexual harrassment.
      Not when the most rapes are performed in jail by males against other male inmates, every day by the 1000s.
      If you want to laugh at that, too - feel free, I guess.
