The best documentary of the decade… “What is a woman?”

Is he? Or does he have his own perspective? (I don't know him.) The latter does not preclude that I'm pleased he recognises the issues even if there are different motivational drivers.

Deuce Bigalow!!

But he gave a very GC interview with Joe Rogan years ago.....

Rob Schneider, star of the Hot Chick, a film about a high school girl who swaps bodies with a male criminal, comes out as gender critical.

Helluva stretch to describe Rob Schneider as a prominent comedian. I'd like to find out where Pauly Shore and Carrot Top stand you on the issue.

Schneider is an anti-vaxxer who also endorsed the GOP's most right-wing mouth-breather a few elections ago. I'm not terribly interested in what he thinks.

I love paragraphs like this - breakdowns of someone's political views with the "I'm not terribly interested in his views" cherry on top.

I suspect you know more about them than any of us. 😂

I suggest you go for the "is this the sort of person you want on your side!?" approach - it's a bit less comical.

Comedians are a natural base for resistance to hilariously misguided ideologies.

Nah. He's a sexist Trump fan.
I'm very much in favour of cross-party alliances and am very much team Posie (versus the left wing head girl GCs) but I'm not going to fangirl over some old hat Republican just because he knows what a woman is.

'I suspect you know more about them than any of us. 😂'

Oh, I'm certain I do although in fairness anyone with access to a search engine - so; anyone - could glean that much about Schneider in about 14 seconds so it's hardly evidence of a lifelong interest in the man

I'm still not interested in what he thinks.

another prominent comedian has come out as GC!

I would bet a very, very large amount of of money that Rob Schneider is not a GC feminist.

Knowing that humans have two sexes is not the same thing as thinking gender should be deconstructed.

If we aren't careful we'll end up falling into the Genderist's trap of using GC to mean anti-trans.

I think lots of people think of gender critical as meaning critical of gender ideology.

As opposed to being critical to any kind of cultural gender norms no matter how mild.

Of course he's not a GC feminist. He's a man.

Of course he's not a GC feminist. He's a man.

That was rather my point but I doubt he remotely agrees with any aspect of GC feminism, except about basic reality.

I wonder why people with no posting history keep coming on to claim that different nutters are GC feminists?

That's ridiculous thing to say - look at Glinner.

Lots of people are regularly name-changing since the big data breach last week.

This. Stand up is brutal. They are used to being heckled and hated and treated like crap. They also have to be transgressive and speak the 'truth' as they see it to be funny. Being unauthentically right-on in comedy hurts. See: Brooklyn 99. Pretending the whole place would have been Black Lives Matters? OK wankers that's not true or funny.

Erm... Graham's given up everything for this fight, what have you done????

Hi Graham!

🤣

LOL. I was assuming Schneider was supposed to be the gibbering mouth-breather.

Seems a tad harsh for Glinner.

We're not even allowed to call RMW that. We're supposed to be civil to other Mumsnet users.

Hang on - if everyone's namechanging, is SpiderVersed RMW? Am I JKR?

Of course RS is the gibbering mouthbreather!

Are you guys serious?
He's a nasty racist shithouse:

(etc, etc.)

If you are prepared to chuck away every other principle you have, in the name of being GC, then crack on. Most decent people can't stomach that.

We don't have to agree on everything!

It's called being an adult.

Why all the exclamation marks OP? Do you imagine we're all sat around waiting to rejoice at yet another mediocre man evidencing that they know what a woman is? Jim Davidson might state he knows what a woman is but I'm not fucking interested thanks. We must stop being so pathetically grateful (or making out on here that MN are pathetically grateful) Sorry, my fuse is short today.

@thedancingbear that article is nothing but pearl-clutching. I don't know who Schneieder is, never seen any of his movies but nothing in the article reveals a racist. The fact that he is part Filipino and married to Mexican-American places him a minority status. His crime seems to be that he is not following a Woke narrative.
