Illiza Shlesinger sued for banning men at comedy show

Tiki_drinks · 2017-12-28T12:26:29+00:00

I can't even comprehend how someone / anyone that worked at the establishment didn't say something / anything that turning down someone at the door for their gender might be a bad business decision.

goodbeertimes · 2017-12-28T13:24:30+00:00

But they want girls to be allowed in boy's scouts.

murderfack · 2017-12-28T16:58:44+00:00

It's funny, Joe Rogan asked her about this several weeks ago on his podcast and she said she would let men in I believe but was very hesitant about it, doesn't surprise me she's having some issues now over it.

infamousnexus · 2017-12-28T16:51:04+00:00

According to Title 5 of the Civil Rights Act, she violated public accommodations law. He should win on the merits of the case, though there is no predicting what a feminist jury will do as activists.

nicodiumus · 2017-12-28T09:15:36+00:00

This is one way to end your career before it's even begun.

Gr_ywind · 2017-12-28T16:05:19+00:00

So if this suit fails doesn't that set a legal precedent that it's ok to discriminate based on gender? I wonder how the femninids are gonna react to this one.

r12535 · 2017-12-28T18:15:05+00:00

He paid for admission. Then was denied entry based on his gender, a breach of the protections provided by the 14th amendment. So, not only did the theatre engage in fraudulent ticketing practices, they violated his civil rights. Hope they have a good firm on retainer. NEXT!!

10InchMacelet · 2017-12-28T14:23:10+00:00

Like most mediocre female comedians, taking the feminist route is the next best option if your looks aren't enough to keep you in the limelight.

arkyleslyfox · 2017-12-28T11:01:04+00:00

I'm sure the only men that wanted to go were being dragged by their controlling wives anyway

TheGreatMrDoodles · 2017-12-28T14:42:03+00:00

This happened with a wonderwoman screening as well.

squirrelmonkie · 2017-12-28T18:57:20+00:00

Isn't this that chick that just makes random goat sounds as she tells jokes?

Dihydrogen_Monoxides · 2017-12-28T21:11:08+00:00

Congratulations, Illiza Shlesinger, you have been made a mod of r/twoxchromosomes

2017-12-28T19:34:52+00:00

I identify as a female tonight, no worries :)

johnpershing · 2017-12-29T05:51:03+00:00

This isn't a women's rights movement, it's a women's vengeance movement.

strangerthing7 · 2017-12-28T12:55:16+00:00

Unfunny hack

lillbich · 2017-12-28T18:10:06+00:00

Imaging if someone banned blacks from a comedy show

2017-12-28T14:24:20+00:00

Slightly less cancerous link

Psychotic_Precision · 2017-12-29T03:35:58+00:00

Total Discrimination. I wonder if the place of business is under fire and not just her.

2018-01-05T05:01:11+00:00

I'm guessing all her jokes are about having her period and finding clothes to fit.

use-your-name · 2017-12-28T16:32:28+00:00

I saw her at the Montreal Just For Laughs comedy festival, and she was awful. Nobody laughed

Mr_Sarcasum · 2017-12-28T18:10:10+00:00

Damn she visited my unit in Iraq a few weeks ago, I would’ve never guessed she was like that.

2017-12-29T03:17:00+00:00

Fat guy goes on stage, commence fat jokes.

Black guy goes on stage, commence race jokes.

Woman goes on stage, commence whining.

Sir_Coaljerk · 2017-12-28T20:31:24+00:00

Never heard.

Let me guess, she talks about vaginas, going on horrible dates with horrible men, 90% of what she says is profanity.

Correct me if im wrong. I dont think I am though.

youabutch · 2017-12-28T18:53:59+00:00

this woman is a TRASH BAG, not funny! Im not into feminist humor.

DoveesBloodyBear · 2017-12-28T19:51:02+00:00

Lets end sexism.. How? Lets be sexist!

kindofbird · 2017-12-28T14:24:00+00:00

Haha. This is the annoying bitch from the end of the world podcast on election night. Bill Burr handed her ass to her.

edit: Wrong annoying comedian.

FuckBLMtheMovement · 2017-12-29T18:42:26+00:00

Who?

Random_Link_Roulette · 2017-12-28T13:38:11+00:00

Shes not even funny... Most female comedians aren't...

matrix2002 · 2017-12-28T21:11:15+00:00

Yeah, while I don't think it's a big deal to have something designed specifically for women, banning men is against the law.

Sex is a protected class and you can't discriminate against it.

gazongas001 · 2017-12-28T15:38:45+00:00

I want to nutt on her nice tittys

SableLungs · 2017-12-28T16:02:00+00:00

Good, she's an entitled idiot who wouldn't know a joke from the gunk coming out of her cunt.

TattooedWife · 2017-12-28T18:08:55+00:00

Who?

ProdigiousPlays · 2017-12-28T17:46:31+00:00

I loved her first two specials. Call her a female dane cook, they were entertaining. The third one left a bad taste in my mouth and I barely chuckled. Too much soap box and not enough laughs.

KneegrowAids · 2017-12-28T15:31:50+00:00

> woman

> comedian

probably the best joke ever

Strongblackfemale · 2017-12-28T15:31:22+00:00

She wants people to laugh at her not-funny jokes. Women get so excited at comedy shows that they laugh hysterically before punchlines and often when they don’t understand the joke. It’s actually why I hate going to live comedy shows, the screeching women’s. She knew she’d have a night of women screaming and laughing at anything she said, and with feminist hysteria, they’ll be even more obnoxious.

ThePrevailer · 2017-12-29T00:46:01+00:00

Routine is 50% pandering as a hot chick. Doesn't let men in. The economics don't work.

chambertlo · 2017-12-29T01:04:36+00:00

Good. I hope this keeps her from doing any shows with this type of regressive attitude.

puckbeaverton · 2017-12-29T17:42:40+00:00

I like Iliza, but she's got some fucking stupid ideas and after listening to her on Rogan she's pretty full of herself. I still consider her a pretty funny comedian though. Hope she gets her head out of her ass.

2017-12-29T22:57:10+00:00

Sad part is, Jeffrey Ross called this guy a pussy (mr. liberal equality himself ironically) and Dave Chappelle said there are more important things to get mad about.

OH REALLY? I think equality is up there on the scale of importance. Disappointed in those two assholes.

rockersz · 2018-01-03T10:43:35+00:00

Resorting to outrage is what a comedian does when they are no longer funny.

NervousJ · 2018-01-08T14:05:54+00:00

I remember this unfunny cunt from her one or two guest appearances on Opie & Anthony. It'd be a real shame if these establishments knew that in one of her appearances, she spent the majority of her 2 hours on the show mocking and insulting Bobo, a friend of the O&A show who's mentally retarded (and also isn't known to lie).

PussyPass · 2017-12-28T16:50:37+00:00

WTF would want to see her. She's not funny. Literally, no one wants to hear some dumb gash talk about her periods, vagina, etc.

Bolware · 2017-12-28T17:35:04+00:00

Lol dumb cunt

DerpisMalerpis · 2017-12-28T16:26:15+00:00

That sucks. She seemed pretty cool.

cum_bubble69 · 2017-12-28T17:29:02+00:00

Ehh, w/e, this dumb cunt isnt funny anyway.

Lakelouise101 · 2017-12-29T04:38:45+00:00

Who gives a fuck,If someone doesn't want me somewhere, i don't want to be there.The world needs to stop being so sensitive about every little thing.

ifallalot · 2017-12-28T17:08:38+00:00

Fuck I used to think she was hot

2017-12-28T17:50:03+00:00

She should also be sued for not being funny, ever

General_Butt_Nekked · 2017-12-28T19:28:39+00:00

She did them all a favor because she isn’t funny

RainDancingChief · 2017-12-28T19:29:45+00:00

Is it wrong that this doesn't surprise me? Everytime I've tried to listen to her talk it makes me feel stupider and stupider.

She's been on JRE a few times and I just can't do it.

craicedup · 2017-12-28T21:20:43+00:00

How did that annoying cunt win any comedy contest?

Niseione · 2017-12-28T17:31:30+00:00

What's with all the nudes of herself she "leaks"? Are these supposed to be only for other women to see too? Or, are us guys allowed to view them? (Her body isn't bad - for a feminist anyway).

nickym06 · 2017-12-28T16:50:51+00:00

Is this that shit wannabe YouTube star who hated on fat people?

sweetb00bs · 2017-12-28T21:21:50+00:00

when did she win lcs?

underdawg87 · 2017-12-29T03:26:38+00:00

Is it discriminatory to have women’s gyms? The YWCA? Any club that has special “ladies night” deals? this was a one time show that had the rules as the title of her show... as a fan of her comedy, And having seen her perform at her all inclusive show, id be annoyed, at most, that it was a girls exclusive show. But to buy tickets and then expect to get in, it’s just obvious this guy wanted money and attention. I can almost guarantee his thought process was to test if they’d follow through on the promise of “no boys allowed” and not because he’s a fan of hers.

This wasn’t a loud feminist group protesting and causing a riot. It was a fucking comedian putting on a show for her female fans, why would he even want to be there at all?

funfetti-ish · 2017-12-28T20:19:24+00:00

I love you guys you always crack me up and make solid points I just don't see the big deal in this one.

underdawg87 · 2017-12-28T22:24:22+00:00

I honestly think she’s one of the better female comedians, along with Whitney Cummings and Sarah Silverman. I just realized how sarcastic this post may seem after typing those names....But apart from Whitney sometimes, Sarah and illiza at least don’t just scream out “my pusssyyyy!!” As a punchline, Like many other “outrageous” female comedians.

Also shout out to Tig notaro!!!

Raisincel · 2017-12-28T22:28:55+00:00

And she's a jew. Who would have guessed?

DRBlast · 2017-12-29T04:31:23+00:00

So, men being denied access to a comedy show is similar to Jim Crowe segregation? I don’t care enough about a female only comedy show to make a fuss but I wouldn’t liken it to racial struggles or say that it set anything back by centuries.

Bad publicity move on the comics part but the guy suing is just as much of a jackass.

Mastervodo · 2017-12-28T15:56:10+00:00

They should have let the guy in - because he is a fucking pussy.
