Hitchens article "Why Women Aren't Funny"

I want to know your opinion about this article. Hell, if we ever get into a part 2 of the porn and sexism debate from the atheist group this might be interesting to bring up (although I don't know if it would be relevant).

Why I luv C Hitchens (same reason why I luv Dr. Who and Dr. Sandstrom, the bravada which is earned)

"If I am correct about this, which I am..."

LOL Q.E.D.

lol i thought this was a funny and interesting article. I don't really have a problem with it.

One of the reasons I luv Hitchens is that he states his opinion clearly and he is always articulate in his discussion of said piece, even in spite of the fact that I disagree with him more than I agree with him. He is definitely part of a boys club of intellectuals, but for the most part I think he gives women a fair shake


If you take the title at face value then the article can come off as offensive, but that would do a disservice this paper and to miss the point entirely.

It seemed to me like this was a very light hearted take on this subject, one that he dealt with the required delicacy when required.

Idk overall this paper didn't really bother me much on any level


What was is your take, since you posted the link??

I honestly didn't have a problem with it, I mean I trust Hitchens because as you aforementioned: he's earned it. It was honestly more humorous to read rather than an actual study.

I just thought it was interesting, and DAMN YOU! Ever since you sent me the link for Vanity Fair I can't stop reading through all the articles!
