Feminist Comedian to Fight Patriarchy by Telling Rape Jokes, Showing Vagina Onstage
Pundit Press ^ | 4/20/15 | Aurelius

Posted on 04/20/2015 12:53:52 PM PDT by rightistight

Comedian and performance artist Adrienne Truscott plans to fight against what she sees as male-dominated culture by telling rape jokes and exposing her vagina onstage.

The act, called “Asking for It,” is performed by Truscott. According to her website, Truscott will be “dressed only from the waist up and ankles down,” and the show “undoes and does in the rules and rhetoric about rape, comedy and the awkward laughs in between.”

Her site continues, “With commentary from George Carlin, Louis C. K. and Robert De Niro, ducks, whistles and enough gin and tonics to get a girl in trouble, she lets her p***y do the talking. Set to pop music. Can you make jokes about rape? She plans to, all night long. Even if you tell her to stop.”

According to Truscott’s biography on her website, “Truscott has taught at Wesleyan University Dance Department as a visiting artist, and guest taught at Sarah Lawrence College’s Theater and Dance Departments and Yale Universtiy [sic].”

Truscott’s act is coming to Joe’s Pub in New York next month.

(Very old joke punch-line.)

“Feminist Comedian” "Now there’s an oxymoron!"

True. Comedians must have a sense of humor.

Simply the latest example why I would never even tell my mother or three sisters that I hang out here. And, frankly, it makes me wonder why I do.

Didn't Paula Poundstone try that once? Or maybe that was just a private show at home for her foster girls...

“Comedian and performance artist”

That’s as far as I got. There’s no such thing as a comedian AND “performance artist”. It’s simply not possible. Either you’re a comedian, and hopefully funny. Or you’re a “performance artist”, and a sad, pathetic loser. You can’t be both.

"Showing Vagina Onstage"

Why is it that the people who really want to do this are exactly the people no one wants to see doing this?

“telling rape jokes and exposing her vagina onstage ... “dressed only from the waist up and ankles down,””

Hmmm. Sounds sort of like a Miley Cyrus show, only with even less talent and even less entertaining.

Miley Cyrus actually has talent when she chooses to use it. This woman is simply mentally ill, imho.

If she wants a male dominated country I’ve got suggestion for her: go to Saudi Arabia and stay.

Definition:

"performance artist": A performer who has no talent and therefore relies on the use of shock and vulgarity in order to establish a reputation among the over-educated and pseudo-sophisticated.

More likely, when you had nothing to begin with, you drop your pants.
