Samantha Bee gets a pass for making fun of a man's hairdo ( who later turned out to have cancer)

There is no issue here. They apologized for making the joke and are donating to a GoFundMe account for the guy's cancer treatment. No one was let off the hook, and this is more about how cancer patients get shamed for their looks than men.

Bad example.

Samantha Bee basically is left off the hook with an apology. She made fun of this journalist hair cut style calling him a fucking Nazi. The guy's sister saw the show and tweeting out " my brother you called a nazi has stage 4 terminal brain cancer and his hair doesn't grow back..thanks)

So I guess it is okay to shame a male on tv for his outward appearance ( I mean after all the guy is male/straight/white). It perfectly fine to body shame a man for comedy sake. It's cool to assert that he is a nazi based on what info...oh yes his short haircut. Hmm people in the military have short hair, are they nazis too? Alot of police officers also have very short haircuts...are they nazis as well? .yet there would be hell to pay if she body shamed another woman. Say Samantha Bee made fun of another woman's weight..

And you know damn well a man might lose his job if he made a similar snafu. Her show made an apology and all is 'good"?

The irony here is that it is "okay" to make fun of a man for his appearance...the only thing her show is apologizing for is the fact that the "joke" backfired when it was found out that he has cancer. So having a penis makes a guy fair game for humiliation....just as long as his appearance isn't an effect of chemotherapy? oh that wonderful double standard....and obviously I expect to get replies that defend Samantha Bee because she is so left. You guys have to wake up and put politics aside. Body shaming anyone including men isn't okay.. we need to unite and fight anyone that makes fun of a man for his appearance.

Also I feel like alot of guys have to get that stick out of their asses in this group. It's like one can't post anything without someone demanding statistical analysis and cited studies. People actually demand to know where I get my "info"... Seriously??? I think you all need to settle down..this isn't a doctoral thesis. I also think people here need to put politics aside and concentrate on the bigger picture. It seems like there are alot of "white knights" on here that actually defend feminist and their practices
