New Kid (Billy Hargrove X F!Reader)

Howdy! I’m Alex. I’m writing a little fic. I’m having fun. I’m new in town. Feedback is always welcome and appreciated!

Summary: You’re new in Hawkins, hailing from the big city on the east coast. As a city kid, you think you’ve been stuck here to suffer in a small town, but there’s a certain someone who shakes it all up. 

This is kinda long winded, I like putting a lot of attention to detail! Maybe I’ll break it up into a mini-series.

Warnings: Swearing, mentions of smoking cigarettes

As the sun rises, it pours through your pale curtains and opened blinds. It’s quiet outside, and you’re not exactly used to it. You sigh and roll over in bed, checking your alarm clock. You realized it wasn’t set. It wasn’t even plugged in!

You threw off your covers and shot out of bed. You thudded downstairs to see your dad pouring coffee for himself. He hears you and looks up and meets your gaze.  

“Good morning, sweetpea. Why are you up so early?” He smiles warmly at you, getting a mug out of the cupboard to pour you a nice morning brew. 

You look at him confused. “Early? What do you mean early? What time is it?”

He chuckles, fixing your coffee for you. “Its 6:30, (y/n). I wasn’t going to wake you up yet! You still have time.”

You sigh dejectedly, reaching for the mug and taking your first sip of the day. If you weren’t awake before, you were now. “What time does school start around here anyways, pop?”

“Eight-thirty. You have some time to adjust and get ready. But I had something to show you. You remember your Uncle Willy?”

“Uh, yeah? He’s my favorite uncle.”

He smiles warmly at you, laughing. “That’s because he’s your only uncle. He lives in the next state over, and I told him that you got your license on your birthday this past summer. Come with me to the driveway!” He puts his slippers on and walks past you to open the front door. You follow behind him, coffee in hand, not knowing what to expect and hating it.

He opens the door, and looks at you. In the driveway is a car. But not just any car. 

Your jaw drops, a hand flying over your mouth. Your eyes glaze over, tears of joy forming in your eyes. “Dad no way. No fucking way. Stop lying!”

He laughs at you, not minding that you swore. You have a cool dad. And a cool uncle. 

“This is your new baby. She’s a 1967 Ford Mustang.” He stood there quietly, placing a gentle hand on your shoulder. “In moms favorite color.” 

“Dad I-. I cant believe Uncle Willy got this, I’m just.. Wow, man. Holy hell!” 

You turn to your dad, who hands you the keys to your car. YOUR car. 

“Take good care of her. Now go in and get ready for school, and take her for a spin! Who knows, you might attract all the local hotties.” He winks at you and nudges you with his elbow. 

“Ew, Dad! Gross. I’m going in to get ready. Don’t you have to get ready soon too?”

“Shit, yeah you’re right. Catch you later, honey! I love ya!” He kisses the top of your head and goes inside to get ready. You follow suit.

—-

You slip on your black vans, looking in the mirror next to the door. You hair was half up in a white scrunchie, the rest hung loose.You had on your dads old jean jacket, which was a little bit big on you. A black t-shirt followed, tucked into some high-waisted Levi’s cuffed at the ankle. You slung your backpack over your shoulder, grabbing your keys and heading out to your car.

You slid into the dark brown leather seats and put the key into the ignition. You turned on your car, getting chills as your engine purrs to life. “Oh hell yeah.”

Rolling down your windows, you blasted Bon Jovi through your speakers, driving down to Hawkins High. 

—-

He stood with his friends, all leaned up against his Chevy Camaro smoking their cigarettes and making idle chat. The thrum of a new engine and music he liked pulled into the parking lot of Hawkins High, catching his attention. Him and the rest of the students in the lot eye up the new hot rod. He was a tad bit jealous, being upstaged by some new kid and their new car. He scoffed and rolled his eyes.

Tommy guffawed at Billy’s scoff. “HA! Jealous that someones got a better car than you, Hargrove?” 

That earned Tommy a shove, coughing on the smoke from his cigarette. “Yeah right. What’s there to be jealous of? Some wanna-be hot-shot from who knows where in that.. that car. That cobalt blue.. what is that? A Mustang? No way. A spoiled brat is gonna come out of that car. I just know it.” His friends snicker at the poor sucker in the car, while Billy glares at the drivers side waiting for the new guy to get out. 

The door opens, and out comes a foot. Two feet. His jaw drops when he sees a girl come out of the drivers side and grabs her schoolbag, locks the car up. 

“Oh, no way. No fucking way.” Billy says, shocked and shaking his head. 

Carol lets out an obnoxious laugh, almost shouting. “You mean- you mean to tell me that the new kid whose car is way cooler- is a GIRL?! I can’t believe it!”

Billy cuts his eyes at Carol, shooting her down with an icy stare. Her and Tommy are trying to keep a straight face, but it was too damn hard to. Billy, on the other hand, wanted to know everything about this new girl. She stuck out, not only because she was new, but because she looked nothing like the rest of the high schoolers in town. He had to know more.

A/N: I’m gonna break this up into a series because of the way I write, and I feel like this is a good place to stop! I’ll be writing more. This is fun! 

[thrcshold-blog]

i’ve been laughing at this gif for five minutes straight, hELPSFDKJGSDF

hey guys !! i’m kat, 21 yo struggling uni student from east coast canada who’s whipped for fromis, boa and brockhampton and currently ignoring finals prep in favour of typing my soon-to-be bland and long-winded intro ! sjfkgdf so i’m gonna get to the point as quickly as possible and present my messy sagi baby, zoe who’s kinda just. cracked tbh. you can check out her ( slightly unfinished ) stats HERE, and like this or im me if you’d like to plot !

EDIT: btw, my d*scord's EXO'S BITCH#2030 if anyone wants to hmu over there !

< park jiwon, cis female, she/her, twenty-one > welcome to the witching community of chicago, ZOE RYU ! you’re a HEDGE WITCH right ? some of the locals around here have described you as being RESTLESS and CANDID, but others have said you’re PERCEPTIVE and VERSATILE. i guess i’ll have to see for myself. now, being a hedge witch, i hear you excel at DREAM MANIPULATION. the chicago witching community prides itself on having skilled witches so make sure to keep practicing !  < kat, 21, nt >

so i still haven’t figured out the full backstory with her but i’ll edit this a little later when i have my wits about me sjglfgd

that aside, zoe grew up with her parents in a suburb of halifax, canada and it was a fairly simple life they had — papa ryu's a hedge witch and is just living a chill life as a cop.. just handling a lot of petty crimes and traffic violations bc i’m p sure halifax is about the same criminally as my own province dklgsg

and her mom’s a green witch who’s like, the closest thing to a hippie that you can get given she’s got a policeman for a husband sgkdfjsgfdkl anyways she did her own Thing by running her family’s little garden centre uptown before delving into a venture with a uh, microbrewery 

that whole set up sounds Dumb but. one of her parents has to be cracked like zoe in some ways and it clearly won’t be her dad so ! moving on !

sdfhjhgsh so zoe was a middle child with an older brother and twin smols of opposite sexes, and the only one of the four to end up becoming a hedge witch, or showing signs of becoming one i should say, like her dad ! she was always an imaginative and creative kid — something her mom especially let her expand upon — and a little wise beyond her years

she often had vivid dreams and, in her soon-to-be proven crackhead fashion, would tell them in a dramatic, outlandish way

the bitch was born to be a Loud theatre kid. anyways DKSFGJDSGFK

her dad saw this and other little things as a sign that she might just become a hedge witch like him and was Hyped, so like any proud parent he.......... kinda projected buT with good intentions

ig ?? idk but yeah, a hedge witch she would become sdglkgdk

she did delve into her powers and was interested in being a Good little witch, but she likely didn’t make it her top priority if the rest of this intro will be anything to go by 

her school life was p ordinary, she was extroverted and enthusiastic but so fucking Annoying all the same

performed decently but def excelled in language arts/english. not just saying that bc Me but —

joined the drama club in high school and was a little thespian until she graduated and headed off to uni at acadia for an arts degree !

but after a couple of years, and despite the friends she had there, she took a step back. def the type of person to wanna escape and explore, and her studying so close to home limited her ability to do that

so she moved to chicago like, a couple of months before tr*mp became president-elect bc she would’ve cancelled everything, demanded her deposit back, had she arrived after that SKLDFGSDGFL

her brother had been a little more focused on his abilities than she had been at the time, and had visited a couple of larger witching communities to idk, see what they were like ?? since theirs was quite small in comparison; and he told her about them only for her to decide to check one of them out for a bit

and she picked chicago bc....... tbh she only really picked chicago on a whim, and her weird love for that one episode of victorious with trina doing her one woman show might’ve played the smallest role in it all KDSGJKDSGF

so she’s been here for a couple of years now and had started her studies again a couple of months back at a uni near her little apartment ( haven’t checked out possible places to add to her stats just to have a uni Set, so i’ll do that later gdklsdg )

and that’s really it for her bg !

PERSONALITY, SPECIALTY BG AND OTHER SHIT

so she needs action or something of interest in her life to keep her Up, but the feeling can fade quickly

like i said, she left her province — and country — to experience more, both in her abilities and in general; and while the latter is a little defunct given her time here already, whatever else comes with it tends to keep her from wanting to run off to the next enthralling adventure as soon as she possibly can

she also can’t sit still for v long if we wanna keep this short and show less Grand ideas sgdklfg

given her partially goofy ass, it’s hard to fathom her as being a blunt, serious or even snide person, but she can be given the situation or..... perhaps it’s just how she is in the moment sdjgsfdg

zoe does, however, show her blunt side in a more quick-witted, casual way than serious so it’s unlikely that you’ll see her act up, and uncommon but definitely not rare to see her be mature and handle shit accordingly

idk if that made sense but we’re gonna keep going for now sdgkjgdf

she’s a solid, loyal person, but she’s also quite observant and wise — well, wise when she wants to be anyways

and she’s definitely NOT a mary sue, but she is, as i said in her app, versatile

she’s adaptive in certain settings and situations, she doesn’t limit herself in what she can and can’t do and is a semi-functional multitasker DGKHJDF

the second thing prob has something to do with her ( over ) confidence but anyways

uhhhhh last but not least, she’s a Crackhead.

SFJGDDFSG

she’s a living, breathing level 4 shitposter and my patience is definitely gonna wear thin with this brat, i sweaR

tho at the end of the day, she’s chill despite it. by some miracle at least

when it comes to dream manipulation, she’s always found it to be cool

and one thing that makes it rewarding and interesting is how it would help her little sister with nightmares when she started becoming proficient at the actual manipulation aspect of it

bc who wouldn’t use a power to help a distressed kid :(

eventually it’s escalated to her just chilling with her mom in her dreamland bc phone and skype calls are boring af and not enough for them to be dumb bitches together sdgfklsgfdj

and to just fuck around with her neighbours and what not. in a good way

........ for the most part, the witch can’t guarantee that the rude girl down the hall won’t see her long-time crush run off with zoe out of subtle revenge for knowingly closing the elevator door in her face when she had her arms full of grocerieS —

and while it is.. p invasive, it also fuels her creativity by using some elements as inspiration for her writing 

it’s an ethical dilemma that she wrestles with, rest assured folks

what else, what else.............

she’s good with her family if i didn’t imply it enough

she’s bi but..... girls disappoint her far less than guys so she has a Preference DJFGSKGDKF

likes to act like she isn’t a massive party girl but, she’s a massive party girl

how else will she release her pent-up energy ?? sgkjhgsdj

loves garlic fingers, but bc america’s behind on shit from what ik, she’s as disappointed as i am that she has no access to them

spits.

honestly, she’s just v atlantic canadian when it comes to food, her fondness for fog and the ocean and neither are Really a thing in this part of the states so she’s struggliNG still

uh, feels like the only one who’s following a more...... human life path, one not as connected to magic as other witches she’s met, and feels a tad embarrassed bc of it, but it’s what she feels most comfortable with

loves horror movies and halloween, is That bitch who laughs at the former and goes all out with the latter

thinks virginia woolf is a legend and is Right in doing so SGKDJFGD

idk what else to add so let’s end it here !

forgot to mention that i don’t have her plots page finished, so i’ll link it when i do !

[lcrettas]

henlo my little pumpkin pies it’s me liz again i run loretta do u member hi how are ya UH anyone need a lawyer??? bc here’s benny! call him any time and he’ll fight for YOU! alksdjf this is what happens when i binge daredevil! anyway, you can read more about my son below! and hmu if you wanna plot anything with him. pls do. he needs... love. thank you for coming to my ted talk.

( CHARLIE COX, CISMALE, HE/HIM, TWENTY-NINE) ✧·˚. — ( BENJAMIN MURPHY), a ( DEFENSE ATTORNEY) has been in vegas for ( TWENTY YEARS ) and has made quite the name for themselves. they are known to be ( QUICK-WITTED and EMPATHETIC ) but don’t get it twisted, they can just as easily be ( STUBBORN and BRAZEN ). they’re so much more than that, though.

death tw

BENJAMIN MURPHY was born in new jersey. his mother passed away shortly after giving birth, and he was left with his piece of shit father to raise him. as far as he knows, he’s an only child, but his pops probably had some other kids floatin around the east coast. that wouldn’t surprise benny. 

his pops was a BIG gambler and a crook. he almost lost benny to a relative a few times, due to his neglect for his son, but he worked his way around keeping ben from going into foster care, simply so he could write him off as a dependent on his taxes. what a shit. additionally, he once lost the shitty apartment the both of them were living in to someone in a poker game. that one incidence, in fact, is what brought the both of them to vegas. with nowhere else to go, benny’s dad thought this was the perfect opportunity for the both of them to head west to vegas, where he could REALLY win big. at just nine years old and to much of his dismay, benny just went along with him. 

benny was always a smart kid! top of his class. in addition to going to school, he was able to start working early as a bus boy and a bellhop in order to bring in extra (and most) money to support himself and his son of a bitch dad. 

my boy benny had an okay time in vegas, though he grew to resent the place that occupied most of his father’s time, attention, and money. he had no extra money to pack up and leave, so he just stayed in vegas through high school, all the while his father was trying (and failing) to win a cool mil or two via various games of chance all around the strip. 

it wasn’t until the very DAY ben graduated high school that his father’s endless gambling finally paid off. instead of attending his own son’s graduation, ol’ mr. murphy was chillin at the slot machines when he hit a lucky streak and ACTUALLY won $500,000, all at once. the excitement and irony was just too much for benny’s dad though, and he dropped dead of a heart attack just minutes after he won. 

that day was a mix of emotions for benny. he was upset his father wasn’t at his fucking graduation, but that redeemed itself when he found out that the money his dad won, the money that KILLED ol’ mr. murphy, would all be rewarded to benny. 

benny knew this sum wouldn’t be enough to support him forever, but he knew it could definitely get him a head start. because he was an exceptional student, he earned himself a scholarship at stanford that would cover a few of the biggest expenses that come with attending an ivy league school out of state. with the blessing of the rest of the money though, he figured he should put it to good use and go to law school. he wanted to make a life for himself that was completely above board, unlike his dad. 

he returned to vegas shortly after he graduated law school, simply because it was the only place that really felt like home. he may have resented it before, but it was his own choices that brought him back. and he could live with that. 

now! my son opened up his own firm not far from the strip. he worked for a prestigious firm previously, but really couldn’t shake the desire to be his own boss and make something of himself BY himself. or at least, mostly by himself. 

as far as his personality goes... my guy is on the straight and narrow. he has a real passion for justice and people. he’s not tempted by crooked dealings, (at least for now) as he saw those kinds of things greatly contribute to his father’s downfall. he’s kinda charming and a little bit of a smart ass! the whole lawyer thing... it works for him. he’s got a soft spot for people! rather than corporations. he’s totally friendly unless you give him a reason to hate you. kinda not afraid of anything. 

fun facts:

hates HGTV! hates it! why do you want a beach house with a game room??? there’s a beach right fuckin there!!

more of a tea guy.

will steal ur man and ur girl at the same time! 

can play the piano v well (the hotel he used to bellhop for let him practice on the busted baby grand in storage)

horrible dancer.

boxes in his free time! he fast! sometimes he has a black eye. not saying he’s in a fight club... but maybe he will be 

wanted connections: 

i’m gonna send this into the main too, but a partner at his firm! the person he decided to open it with! could be anyone, but relatively close in age.

clients!!!???!!! he will fight for you!!!!

a best friend!!! this could also be his partner but doesn’t have to be. 

friends with benefits OH YOU KNOW i love me some fwb. (any gender)

slow burn where they hate each other at first please see:

enemies oh you KNOW he’s gotta have some

sassy soul sisters so just like two bros chillin in a hot tub, roasting everyone they know. they don’t have to be in a hot tub.

literally anything else is cool !

Iliza is wrong. But it’s not her fault (kinda).

By Bobbie Oliver On Twitter: @TheBobbieOliver

Iliza Shlesinger begins her interview in Deadline Hollywood ok, “a big part of my comedy is wanting to speak to women and people that are my age in a funny and relatable way. I think the landscape of what’s available out there for women is not as extensive as it could be.” So far, so good (except the limiting it to people her age). But, then she goes on to say:

“I’m so glad you asked that [the way she portrays female comedy in her new project] because I put in those sketches and no one’s ever asked me about it because I think people were too busy laughing in agreement. As a comedian, I have a set of morals. I have a specific point of view. I think a lot of what I see out there, out in comedy clubs, watching contests, watching TV, watching movies—gathering data from these different matrixes…

When you’re a woman in comedy and you get a break, people get so excited about it, but while we have to work hard to get that attention, I do think many women think, “Oh if I just act like a guy, if I go for that low hanging fruit…” Everything’s about sex, or how weird I am. It all just kind of runs together.

I could walk into The Improv, close my eyes, and I can’t tell one girl’s act apart from another. That’s not saying that 30-something white guys don’t all sound the same sometimes, but I’m banging my head against the wall because women want to be treated as equals, and we want feminism to be a thing, but it’s really difficult when every woman makes the same point about her vagina, over and over. I think I’m the only woman out there that has a joke about World War II in my set. I think shock value works well for women, but beyond that, there’s no substance. I want to see what else there is with such complex, smart creatures.”

I included the quote so no one could say I misrepresented her words. Those were her exact words. Since this was released, Iliza has been bombarded with responses from female comics (myself included) because it turns out people weren’t just “laughing in agreement” and that she did not succeed at talking to women “in a relatable way.” Did Iliza look at those comments, think ‘hmm maybe I am missing something and should listen to these women’s collective experiences?’ Spoiler! Um, no. She doubled down; she attacked; she ranted and raved and blamed women with (since deleted) tweets to the effect of ‘women shouldn’t complain about what I said; women just need to get better; my experience is more valid than yours; I worked TEN WHOLE YEARS and nobody gave anything to me; everyone is just jealous; if it doesn’t fit you, don’t be offended...’

There is SO MUCH to unpack there, and I may be all over the place cause I’m pissed I have to sit down and blog about this shit AGAIN. I just got finished producing the 3rd Annual Laugh Riot Grrrl Festival, which features over 100 female comedians each year in a week’s worth of shows and activities. I was feeling pretty good about the state of women in comedy (rare for me) and thinking we just smashed the Patriarchy, even if it were just a little. And then, I turn on my computer to see yet another dick dissing women in comedy, setting us back instead of propelling us forward- and this time that dick was a fellow female comic. I am angry, yes, but mostly I am disappointed. But, Iliza said this is her experience and we have to take that as gold. Well, here is my experience...

I started doing comedy in college at 19 years old in 1988 (a little longer than TEN WHOLE YEARS). As a elder in the comedy community (I am 49, been doing comedy for 29 years, teaching comedy for 13 years, wrote a critically acclaimed book about comedy, own a comedy school, was on the road for years on the East Coast and moved to LA 20 years ago, etc), I feel like it is my OBLIGATION not only to create as many opportunities for women in comedy as possible (in addition to my women’s comedy fest, I produce women-only open mics, feminist comedy shows, etc), but to elevate other women as often as I can ESPECIALLY IN PUBLIC INTERVIEWS. No, I am not rich or famous. Probably never will be. But, I have made my entire living off comedy most of my adult life and my experience matters, too.

Saying women shouldn’t be offended by her lazy answer in an interview if it doesn’t apply to them is like Trump saying Mexicans are rapists and black people are criminals but don’t be offended if you aren’t those things. Nice try. And women just need to get better?? Seriously? Do you know how tired you sound? How many racists have said, in response to being confronted on lack of diversity in their school, business, organization, ‘black people just need to earn it like the rest of us.’ Yeah, cause Obama was the first black man to ever be qualified to be President? Not even close.

Iliza, your experiences are a lot more limited than you realize. Ten years is nothing in comedy and you know that. It is a well-known adage in comedy that it takes 10 years just to find your voice. Getting to your level of success in 10 years thanks to Last Comic Standing (and yes, I and many female comics voted for you, and don’t regret it) is a fast track to the top, bypassing decades of work that other women have put in. Did you deserve that? Sure, why not? You deserve it as much as anyone. But, don’t pretend it didn’t come fast and relatively easy. Because of that, you haven’t worked in as many low level rooms as most of us, so your experience is limited mostly to comedy clubs. Comedy clubs rarely book women, even more rare to have two or more on a single show. All the years I was on the road, I was only in a comedy condo with another woman TWICE. The comedy clubs that do book women are not booking a representation of the best female comedy. Just like Justin Bieber being mega rich and famous is not a representation of the best in music.  A more accurate comment would have been, ‘I walk into the Improv and they only book a few women and all the same kinds of female comics. Comedy clubs need more diversity.’

Iliza was right when she said that the “landscape of what’s available out there for women is not as extensive as it could be.” Therein lies the problem. But, you don’t begin by basing the state of female comedy on the “handful” of women you see around. For one thing, I know women who have been unbooked from shows with Iliza because her ‘people’ told them she doesn’t like to have too many women on a show (if those emails are false, she should take that up with her people). Also, most headliners, Iliza included (in my experience) don’t stay in the room and watch all the other comics. I am guilty of that, too. It’s easy to roll up in the club right before your set and leave the room right after. I mean, what comedian wants to watch every other comedian? But, that limits your ability to accurately report on the state of comedy. Because I produce so many events for female comics (and have to be in the room), I see hundreds of women perform yearly in open mics, standup shows, festivals, sketch groups, etc. By producing events like my yearly Women in Comedy Roundtable, I get to/choose to listen to women A LOT. Those women are trying to speak now, and we need to listen and really hear them.

Let’s also talk about smart comedy, low hanging fruit and using our comedy powers for good or evil. I have mutiple degrees, am extremely well-read and follow politics very closely. I don’t think I’m unusual. Most comics make it a point to have informed opinions. Iliza boasted that she’s the only female comic with a WWII joke. Well, she’s not. And, even if she were, what the fuck does that matter? I talk about politics, rape culture, feminism, homelessness, as well as marriage, kids, my Trump-supporting  dad, and occasionally, will make a pussy reference if I goddamn feel like it. Men are never policed on their dirty joke subjects, on their ‘bad language’ so I will not be, either. All the hateful rape jokes men tell, and we are worried that a women said, ‘pussy,’ really?? And my pussy does not hang low, thank you very much.

Iilza, like every person you ever hear say women aren’t funny enough, is a victim of the Entertainment Industrial Complex. Art is not TV. If you see a limited number of women and those women all make similar jokes (all jokes that Iliza herself has made), you are not seeing a fair representation of women. You are seeing the ones that made it past the gatekeepers in one way or another. Perhaps they are funny, but perhaps they are also hot, don’t rock the boat, know their place or were in the right place at the right time and got lucky. I have always rocked the boat, never accepted their idea of my place and have never been hot. I do feel lucky because I make a living performing standup and writing jokes for other comics. And I can tell you that I am AMAZED by the state of female comedy. Absolutely flabbergasted at the depth and talent and wit of the incredible women I get to (because I make it a point to) work with weekly. Right after the festival, I was quoted as saying that the only way I was able to get through 14 shows in one week is because every women was not only hilarious, but SO DIFFERENT from each other. My husband, comedian Chris Oliver, said the same. We also book tons of men and, frankly, some of them run together in my mind. Sometimes I can’t remember who made which shitting my pants in traffic joke and which ones told which rape jokes. I mean, let’s face it, MOST COMEDY IS HORRIBLE. It is. It’s painful. But, a lot of those comics get better and wiser and more likeable. Some are given regular spots at the Comedy Store (by some, I mean men, of course) and have an opportunity to grow and reflect and change and improve.

Feminism is already “a thing,” and we are equal, no matter who acknowledges it. As feminists, we need to use our comedy powers for good, to help a sister out. Iliza mentioned hiring women on her show and as openers for her. That’s great. Honestly. It is. Does it make you Feminist of the Year? No. In that major public platform, Iliza was given a chance to be heard by more people than most comics, especially women, ever get. She did not widen the landscape for women, she relied on tired old easily-disproven stereotypes that will not elevate us a profession, but will serve to help keep us as second class citizens in comedy. That statement validated every person who thinks women aren’t funny enough. I mean a famous female comic said it, so it must be true.

There is nothing wrong with misspeaking. We all fuck up. But, after the shock and anger wears off, it’s time to take a real look at our own misconceptions and the role we play in the fight as a whole. And did anyone ever figure out what that “one point” about the vagina is?
