can't take criticism. Comedians are big pussies. So to one side you say,
'If you don't like a joke, stay out of the comedy clubs.' To the other
side you say, 'If you don't like criticism, stop Googling yourself every

they can't go out late, they can't go to certain neighborhoods, they
can't dress a certain way, because they might--I never--that's part of
me now that wasn't before, and I can still enjoy the rape jokes.

"But this is also about men and women, because a lot of people are
trading blogs with each other, couples are fighting about Daniel Tosh and
rape jokes--that's what I've been reading in blogs--but they're both
making a classic gender mistake, because the women are saying, 'Here's
