  • @dalriada842 Some people think it's "all about them." Feminists think it's All About Women.

  • @fidelbogen Too subtle for those who thumbed up the comment, methinks! The current Zeitgeist needs a bucket of ice-cold water in the face. Too much subtlety can easily be misinterpreted as support! I love his username though! :)

  • @graaar Are you kidding? You're not getting heckled because you're a woman. You're being heckled because, either they are bullying arseholes, or they don't enjoy the act. Male stand up comedians get it too! They are just choosing to focus on what they think will most upset you.

  • @vzgn0sis "He is intelligent, isn't he!" Yes he is, but you wouldn't think so from what he says in this video. Here, he is talking out his arse!

    Both sexes prioritise the safety of women. This is the driving force behind different roles for men and women, throughout history. Oppression, of women, has never been the objective of society. Though there have certainly been abusive individuals, this is a form of bullying, not the goal.

    Feminist ideologies like Patriarchy Theory, are complete bunk!

  • Can I hug him?

  • I want to have his babies. Eddie Izzard I love you.

    Cheers Christine

  • Thank you to whoever filmed this...this is Eddie speaking as he really feels. He truly is the best stand up comic to ever live... Love how he takes everyday stuff and makes it funny. For anyone who hasn't checked this out...watch Eddie singing "For the Benefit of Mr. Kite" in the movie Across the Universe. He did his part in only two takes so that shows you how talented he really is.... Long live Eddie Izzard!!

  • @vzgn0sis LOL! Your sarcasm is subtle! ;)

  • @junelaurel19 I agree...he's just the best...i hope he really is like he seems to be...a Grat guy...

    sorry ...bad english :-(
