AIBU to find the comedian Katherine Ryan's turn to the right surprising?

He doesn’t work, he doesn’t parent, he doesn’t do chores. He’s basically a kept man on her dime. They have a very odd relationship.

I also want to add: using a misogynist term that reduces women to a body part and is often used to demean and belittle women in your critique of posters is questionable.

The post isn’t about comedians as a whole. The OP posted about KR’s podcast and her opinions on what KR says and what and who she allows on her podcast.

I listen to every episode of the podcast and was so disgusted by her latest episode that I turned it off. I don’t find a lack of intelligence to be funny, and I don’t understand why she brought her DH on to talk about his ignorant moon landing conspiracy theories. And as I said above, her “joke” about NASA using Black and female astronauts as “test dummies” before sending white astronauts to the moon is ignorant and disgusting on multiple levels: it disregards the white men who have already been to the moon, the ones who have lost their lives during the Apollo missions, etc. Furthermore, it disregards the ability, intelligence, and worthiness of the Black and female astronauts who will be going to the moon, not as test dummies, but because they deserve to go.

Frankly, KR’s “joke” is what you should be calling out.

Fair enough for you. But there are a whole heap of cunty men and mediocre male comedians this thread could ‘dislike’ before a MN lynch mob comes for relatively inoffensive Kathrine Ryan of all people. I can only assume it’s internalised misogyny because this is what women typically get when they have a mind of their own and don’t conform.

Exactly, thank you! I like her and really enjoy her podcast. It really wasn’t as bad as the OP makes out. I don’t get bad vibes off Bobby either…he gives good advice when he’s on and he adores her if you ask me!

Why ask me questions if you interrupt every answer? Just tell me what you think I should say...

...would be my response

Why does the term “misogyny” get used as a way to insult other posters. I like KR (her husband though doesn’t seem intelligent) but other people get to have differing views about what she publicly says and does without being labeled a misognist. We get to dislike someone without it having a deeper meaning.

What do you mean by triggers? What do you mean by baffling?

…are the questions I would ask you if I was Jordan Peterson

Can’t stand the woman. I had the misfortune to meet her over a decade ago on a delayed Air Lingus flight to Ireland. She was a bitch and a bully, who (funnily enough) wimped out when she was stood up to. Having seen only that side of her, her appeal had been a mystery to me and we switch channels in our house if we see her on anything. Never understood her “appeal” to women at all.

I don't think anyone should have a problem with someone liking anyone else to be honest. Anyone who starts threads about individuals because they like the 'wrong person/people' is pretty pathetic.

People can like whoever the fuck they want. Its none of your damn business.

Well for one thing simply stating that liking the man put her off KR is not a trauma response either. So your use of 'triggered' is still inappropriate. And for another, that wasn't me. So quite why you think its appropriate to address me as 'you guys' and suggest I need to 'toughen up' leaves me 'baffled', as you would say.
You have asked me numerous questions about JP which I answered for you.
I have laid out for you the reasons why people dislike the man, so you have one side of the argument.
You respond by telling me to 'toughen up'. Why?
Can you not offer another side of the argument, to explain why people shouldn't have a problem with JP? Or is "Well he doesn't campaign for rape..." the best you have to recommend him?

Exactly this.

She has always really irritated me. She’s really not as funny as she thinks she is.
All the plastic surgery shit is ridiculous! That’s sealed it.

Someone was triggered enough to mention him by name in this thread as a key reason to be 'surprised' by someone 'liking' him.

You guys need to toughen up a tad.

She's obviously well established now and likes the money and trappings that go with success. That's what they always aiming for Eye in the main chance.

She probably wants publicity for her latest book/your or ehatever
These type of fake people always sell out in the end.

As in the Kinks song

Tax Man's taken all my dough.
Left me in my Stately Home.

I have always been fairly amused by Katherine Ryan’s comedy gigs. However I saw her recently at a filming for a tv show where her husband made a guest appearance. I had a very bad feeling about their relationship, he said that people should never get back together with an ex. It was awkward and uncomfortable tbh.

Right? 😂😂😂

Come now. You don't need to resort to implying I'm having a trauma response, or that I'm somehow obsessed with this individual at the expense of caring about other problem males.
That's a unintelligent and manipulative way to approach a discussion. And if you're 'baffled' then it's because your imagination has run away with you and you are projecting an emotional response onto me I do not have.
Its actually quite offensive to people to whom 'triggered' has a real meaning to appropriate it to belittle a person in discussion.

It’s all quite odd but then not entirely out of character for a woman who had implants and worked at Hooters.

Earlier in her career those factors seemed like an entertaining anomaly, now it seems like she has inherent man-pleaser inclinations.

I don’t get her toadying up to Jimmy Carr at all. I think he’s a cunt and there’s little to choose between him and Brand other than Carr manages to keep it in his pants.

And?

Of all the vile men on the planet who get airtime this is the one who triggers you?

Baffling.

This.

Mould.
the other spelling is that black stuff that lives around the shower edges

From what I’ve read, the theme of thread is people criticising the husband and his influence on her, not her personality at all.

He is often described as the stupid persons idea of a clever person.

Word salad can cover a multitude of deficits.

I don't know how many women believe him. I do know that he gets a fair bit of airtime out of it.
