This performance by wildly popular comedian Bill Burr is a good example of how funny guys get away with abuse and sexism. Yes, he's doing comedy, but his underlying points are clearly not jokes to him. I’ve also heard him on his podcast being just as misogynistic when he's serious.
Here’s a youtube link “Bill Burr -- There is no reason to hit a woman”
Notice the serious messages he slips in with the comedy:
- Women bring up domestic violence against women too much.
- Men make all the hard sacrifices because women are too selfish and lazy to help more (example is when his wife won’t take the dog out at night)
- There are reasons to hit women. Don’t do it, but there are reasons to.
(WTF? If there are reasons to, then why not do it?)
He finishes off in the video, saying that the core reason men hit women is because of how women argue and verbally attack men.
The audience roars with laughter all the way through, although he notices tension in the room at one point. What’s it take to get people to stop brushing off the bad behavior of a**holes who make them laugh and charm them?
