Funny Women: Female comics are constantly battling the stigma that they are nothing but bitchy and irrational bodies who are more interested in talking about periods and meaningless gossip to say anything useful on stage.
Susan Calman: I can say what I want. I can say what I want. I can say what I want. I can say what I want. I can say what I want. I can say what I want. I can say what I want. I can say what I want. I can say what I want. I can say what I want. I can say what I want. I can say what I want. I can say what I want. I can say what I want. I can say what I want. I can say what I want. I can say what I want. I can say what I want. I can say what I want. I can say what I want. I can say what I want. Piss off.
Funny Women: However, despite this it would appear that there are still a number of female comics hell-bent on perpetuating this debilitating stereotype, and instead of tailoring their behaviour to the advantage of female comedy as a whole, would rather spend their time proving to the world, yet again, that women have nothing better to do than gossip and whine.
Susan Calman: This entire statement is whining and bitchy. Do not tell me to tailor my anything to anyone. How dare you suggest that talking about what matters to me as a woman perpetuates a debilitating stereotype. As one comic said to me on twitter, all comics bitch and whine. It’s what we do. Censorship like that is wrong, just as it was wrong when you told competitors they couldn’t say the word “cunt” on stage.
