"We work in YOUR HOUSE! Your son calls me Mom! Often!"
Absolutely genius. It really turns our heads to see that women’s suffrage wasn’t just about women’s rights. It was about getting white women in the slave wage workforce too. Tricked ya!
@@deepinmind83 It was about white women getting their share of the spoils and an economic upper hand in family relationships.
I watched the video
Who calls you mom Adam.
@@deepinmind83 sufferage was about controlling men since the WHOLE reason to get women to vote was so they could vote on banning things that's how prohibition happened and sparked the whole war on drugs. It was a swerve from those rich white women towards all other women.
“Isn’t that like literally his whole job” 😂😂😂
That's exactly how today's generation would behave..........trust me!
@@Backstreets247 The sad thing is that if he didn't see it, the Titanic would have hit the iceberg square on and would probably have been fine. The ship veered off to avoid it and was hit bit an underwater "outcrop" of ice that punctured the weakest part of the hull. Ally that to the design flaws of internal bulkheads that didn't completed enclose various portions of the ship, there was nothing to stop water from taking the ship down.
@@virtualatheist Makes sense!
@@Backstreets247 Yeah, we would have... because it is his job.
@@StephanFitzgeraldTay Yeah! That's what I'm about.............the attitude!
“We just want to be invited. Maybe do a little light decorating. Perhaps take it over completely.” LMAO

MeToo Movement reference
That's exactly what women did to gay clubs.
"We were the ones in four-post mahogany beds going, 'Sometimes things aren't fair for me!'" 😂
I love the way she says that.
When you keep most of the population poor, people will put up with being raped by their husbands as long as he's got enough money to keep them fed. That's not exactly comfort. Portrait of a Lady on Fire is a great portrayal of what it's like to choose between dying on the streets as a spinster who is not allowed to have a sustaining career and marrying a stranger who only wants you because you're pretty. I would rather die on the streets than be raped in a mahogany bed, but some women could handle it.
@@LammasDeluge omg it’s COMEDY!! Relax you took this way too seriously hun 😂
@@Tinker-xr1gi There's ALWAYS one pedantic, humorless person.
Both positions are true.
Just because there are hardships that one group faces doesn't mean they don't have privileges.
Nobody is claiming that white women have it easy, they just don't have to deal with being affected by racism *on top* of being affected by sexism.

If an idea doesn't get promoted from theorerical in 5 years, it should NOT be taught as the going assumption.

Might sound too similar, that would have gone over a few people's heads
Ride or fly was my other thought here
Ride and bye

No.
Points.... but no actual solutions.
@@estebansteverincon7117 At least shes talking about it. Alot of people wont even acknowledge that these issues exist.

Gotta say, this was my takeaway from the video.
She snuck a LOT of real shit in there in that five minutes. I don’t think they caught it all

That was fantastic omg.
Nooooooooooooooo
😂😂🤣😂 I literally cried tears laughing when she started the "lifeboat" conversations.. I just can't.... the fact she stated "This is the most random ocean" as if massive bodies of water are so predictable. That was pure gold!!!

White Women: We want jobs!
Black Women: We have those...in your homes...
Is it on fire in here, or is it just Michelle's writing?
That was the point of "The Help" (book and movie).
White women wanted jobs OUTSIDE of domestic service, they already had that.
Uhh
@@SovereignStatesman I also tend to enjoy (over) analyzing things😛, but yes, non-domestic work was the main goal, but this joke aims at the often neglected difference in how it actually affected women of different races differently...
White and non-white women wanted non-domestic work options, but the important differences (to non-white women) were the point of this joke.
Ironically, you're repeating that neglect by moving past those differences onto the concerns of the majority 😋
(still genuinely interesting to think about, even if it's over a joke)
@ryan norris that's sadly quite insane.
On a side note, why would I hate my own δεν καταλάβαινες Ελληνικά...
Majority is math, there are more. I'm a statistician and could have said Mode :P
You harbour quite a lot of negative emotion if that's your interpretation. Evil?
The joke was very specific to women's rights in the US. You've gone off the rails.
A side bit of info: minorities deal with majorities more often than majorities deal with minorities (simple probability and reality), minorities are exposed to the majority and get to see a wide range of the majority population (racial, religious, cultural etc) and dealing with a majority for so long in addition to their own minority, they rarely develop generalized feelings about any majority. Why? Because they deal with a lot of different ones on a regular basis, so it's harder to harbour stereotypes.
“We couldn’t! Our arms!” Why was that part so good 😂
"So you just didnt see it?"
"Lets give them blankets...so they'll think we're friends..." 😂😂😂😂😂
"You can't blame me, I didn't do anything!"
"...yes. Exactly."
Calling out all the people who think not doing anything isn't doing something! Inaction is an action!
What should they have done?
@@JamesPerrone-qq1ph I think it's more a comment on the women who enjoyed the lives of privilege, who are now turning on the men. Ever watch a classic film, "Zorro: the Gay Blade?" At the climax the villain's wife abandons him as well... problem is, he might have been the one taxing and oppressing the people, but she was the one using the tax money for lavish parties to show off her jewelry.
@Carlos Rodriguez WTF?!?!?
@Carlos Rodriguez slave owners werent cruel?!?! The very act of owning other human is the definition of cruelty, if that's something that YOU don't get then you're an idiot
@Carlos Rodriguez oh we understand, we just think you're crazy.
If you're gonna pick and choose any point of time in the past and anywhere in the world to model your values today, why stop at 17th century Africa? Go back further in time during the feudal era, anyone who is not a noble are essentially slaves to the monarch! Did we forget the Great Roman Empire, slaves everywhere! Or let's do by the ancient Greeks, China or Egypt, have we forgotten about all the other slaves? Oh let's go back further, forget civilisation or living in a society, live in a cave my dude! Forget any rule of law and social contracts, the only thing that matters is SURVIVAL! Whatever you can make others do, you can do! What can be "too cruel" to the ancient cavemen, they don't even know what cruel means!
Forget words, morals and ethics, be a caveman. Anything more is just "empathy gone stupid".
Those women who never tasted struggle but the loudest are losing their sht rn
Yes they are!!! Since when are (white) women the poster children for what is fair and just and who gave them the bull horn to speak for all those who have been discriminated against?!
It IS struggle if you are forced to do things you do not want to do just because society says so. White women were oppressed in their own ways! All oppression IS oppression.
@@thatguybutitsactuallyagirl5384 Many if not most of a white woman's oppression was removed decades ago. Society adores white feminine traits both physical and characteristically. Colored women are forced to meet a white woman's appearance to be seen as "professional". Men of color have been brainwashed to prefer white women's physical traits. Examples can be found within American culture but I think the best examples come from foreigners who move to America. They come with pre conceived notions that white = better. This regressive and oppressive thinking has been propagated and spoon fed into everything America touches.

Michele Wolff is hands-down one of the most talented comics of our generation if for nothing else than the fact that she delivers some of the most incisive social commentary without being overbearing or belabored about it. On top of that, she clearly has a remarkable conviction and courage few people have, particularly with respect to challenging authority figures, as we saw in 2018. Her WHCD set didn’t shy away for one moment from calling out much of the press‘s complicity and hypocrisy in bemoaning Trumpism while profiting handsomely from the book sales, TV viewership surge, attention-grabbing headlines, etc. that it has afforded them.
And amen to more of Michelle‘s millennial history.
She's brilliant

@@johntucker3695 Sure, no problem. After reading that "study", the author concluded that it "may have been based on historical fact" although they don't provide evidence to support that claim. They do provide several secondhand accounts of tales told later. Given the scientific knowledge of germ theory, and the lack of historical accounts of smallpox sabotage, it is a reasonable conclusion, held by most, is that the accounts are fabricated and it was simply tragic and unintended consequences to actions.

"Air conditioned oppression." Ha! This is tricky material, and I have a feeling that this will annoy a lot of feminists, but there is no one else with this perspective in comedy right now.

Hope she influences more people on the left to be more skeptical or balanced about their own motivations.
@@Parpeing Huh? I openly said that she's a liberal. This isn't a guess: she is. I'm liberal too, and I appreciate what's she's doing. There is very much an inclination on the left to censor speech that does not exactly align with whatever our woke commissars decree. Yes, it is a political thing.
@@Parpeing Goodnight, innocent lamb
Exactly while we can nit pick societal issues all day we don't critique our first world excess. Furthermore we don't acknowledge what our consumerism causes globally and the many human atrocities committed for Americans to live this excess lifestyle. Countries like Brazil, Indonesia, Taiwan etc. pay the real price of our disgusting consumerist society. Questions like How can you save humanity from itself? Aren't asked enough.
Calm down sir.
@@josuem7398 You make a fine point there. Unfortunately American Exceptionalism wouldn't have it. An idea needs an act to 'make believe' By the way, there's nothing wrong with consumerism but its excesses which create a feedback loop of unchecked greed, ego and foolishness.

Thank you, Michelle. I needed the laugh. 🌸
She has some real Dennis Wolfberg energy that the world has been sorely missing. All around world class comedian in my book.

Just because someone is unpleasant doesn't mean that they are funny.
"We ride and flee immediately" 🤣
Honestly in tears over the titanic bit, just so so good 🤣🤣
I find it odd that when comedians say
"white women" they usually mean
"middle and upper middle class white women."
They dont mean all the impoverished white women worldwide.
This is true of many racial (and to some extend ethnic) stereotypes in the U.S., and beyond. Comedians just reflect it back at us, particular because the genre often depends on - and plays with expectations about - (over)generalization and stereotypes.
Middle and upper-middle class (bourgeois) experiences tend to get reproduced most easily, and universalized.
If you read a popular book like Stuff White People Like, you'll see that many (if certainly not all) of the generalizations could be said of upper-middle class people of any "race," and that they tend to reflect class distinctions as much as, if not more than, ethnic or racial formations.
That said, ethnicity, class, gender, and race intersect in complicated ways, and can easily reinforce one another. I think some of the confusion about MW being "white" has precisely to do with this assumption that being ethnically "other" (i.e. not-WASP in the U.S.) means one is also racially "other." It certainly might, particularly in terms of self-identity, but ethnicity has more to do with A) ancestry/heredity B) "subjective" cultural identification; while "race" needs to be understood as quintessentially about "external," historical, and inter-subjective "racialization" (how does the state, and its citizens, construct a sense of "self" through racial divisions of "whiteness" and "blackness"). Ethnicity can't be easily separated from that process, but it's not reducible to it, either
Obviously these are still generalizations, and many people spend their whole lives trying to understand and analyze these topics, but I think (hope?) it's worth mentioning.
They're trying to relate to the audience and the poor ones can't afford tickets.
@@mp2557 that is true of non whites too. Look at Kamala Harris. And it’s true of both men and women.
