That wacky, wacky patriarchy

julieklausner:

This New Yorker article is to stupid as their Scientology piece was to crazy. Of the many insane, jaw-droppingly stupid quotes attributed to film producers featured in Tad Friend’s piece about women, film and comedy, this is my favorite:

“Both men and women can relate to Kevin James in ‘Paul Blart: Mall Cop,’ who’s the little guy being shat upon.”

LOL, be right back u guyz! Too busy relating to Kevin James in PAUL BLART: MALL COP!
—Every woman’s IM away message, ever

Also worth noting: this is what it took for the New Yorker to mention the Bechdel test.
