Steve Martin received backlash for a tribute he paid to Carrie Fisher on Twitter.
On Tuesday, the comic wrote in a since-deleted tweet, "When I was a young man, Carrie Fisher was the most beautiful creature I had ever seen. She turned out to be witty and bright as well."
Media outlets and fans immediately turned on the comedian saying Martins tweet had a sexist undertone.

However, many fans came to Martin's defense saying backlash over his tweet was uncalled for including a Twitter user who screengrabbed the post.

Good thing I didn’t send out the comment about her passing that used the name of the beauty shop she worked for in “The Blues Brothers.”
I haven’t weighed in on Carrie Fisher at all except to say how sorry I am that she passed away at a relatively young age.
This is the perfect thread for continuing the telling of this riddle:
Why do Japanese sumo wrestlers shave their legs?
So they won’t be confused with being feminists!
Please do compliment women. If she’s a lady, she’ll appreciate it. If she’s a liberal, it will ruin her day. Either way, it’s a win.
Just watched the beautiful Blu-ray version of this. Do you have it?
I guess none of his critics ever saw his movie “Roxanne.” Kind of ironic.
LOL
As part of Hollywood, most likely he’s a big lib, too. It will take situations like this, when PC bites them in their respective asses, to perhaps give them a clue about the stupidity of it all.
These people are deranged.
Any man, looking at an attractive, unknown female stranger, is going to first think she is beautiful. Nothing past that.
Then, if there is conversation of any kind, there might be some conclusion. Now, if you have ever seen “The Man With Two Brains”, there is a prostitute he finds that is...well, beautiful. But as soon as she opens her mouth...
And then you can provide a conclusion. In his case, it was “Keep talking.”!
This is about the AGENDA, rampant in several universities.
Men are suppose to de-masculate. Especially the white ones. None of this manliness business or affinity to any “gender”.
Thankfully, TRUMP is at the gates and men are back!
He seems like such a nice man. Liberals are vicious.
Or, he could use his I FORGOT excuse like from one of his great comedy albums of the 70’s.
I FORGOT we live in a totally screwed up society where you can’t even give a deceased friend some complements without being assailed by idiots.
Maybe he should have called bruce jenner stunning and brave instead. /s
Feminists and the media are nuts. I was reading about people going after Rob Schneider on twitter last night because he made his own version of paella. I don’t know why people even bother to use social media.
Mais où sont les neiges d’antan ?

I still can’t believe Jabba the Hut got her. What a waste. And for petes sake - untie her already . . on second thought . . .
I like the fact that I can laugh with/at him without having to consider that he is or isn’t a liberal dipstick.
If I know he is...I can’t enjoy his humor. It is like watching the “Naked Gun” movies with OJ Simpson in them.
I asked a female coworker what she thought about this. While she thought the kerfuffle over it was stupid, she said she thought maybe some people thought he was implying beautiful women could not be smart as well.
These sort of responses, just like the inaugural brow
beating of performers is indicative of the totalitarian
mind set that has no problem in using coercion to achieve
it’s agenda. Don’t want to bake cake for homosexual marriages, want to perform for conservatives, the boot
of liberalism will come down on you.
The thing is, if they are successful, they will apply
the same tactic again and again, multiplying the force
until their agenda is satisfied. Totalitarianism exactly.
