It' not like there are comments I would like to see more than tens of people quoting the same scenes over and over. Boy, this sure was useful/entertaining/educational/original/had any point to it.

[@iworshipgaysandsatan6822]

and pathetic if you think micro aggressions are real

[@quinnmurphy2294]

What? How are there not. It's just small patronizing things that happen to certain people even if the person saying them doesn't intend on being rude. Like how at least three times a month my co worker feels the need to make sure I know how to turn on my tattoo machine. He is trying to be helpful but is just being stupid, that is a micro aggression .

[@anydaynow]

quinn murphy Why did he ever tell you more than once? If you don't like something the first time tell the person doing it. You just said the dude was giving you consideration, but since he can't read your mind it's somehow a negative thing. Doesn't seem like the problem is his, but rather it's your childish lack of communication. It's not everyone's job to sit around thinking about how to best treat you. Especially when you don't even bother to tell them that they're not already doing that.

[@quinnmurphy2294]

theboywho criedzombie theboywho criedzombie how the fuck did you manage to make this my fault lmao??? He tells me constantly because he's "just checking up" and "just wants to make sure I remember" I have told him a million times obviously I know how a tattoo machine works and that I don't like what he says to me, he doesn't care. He is still gonna say it. I do think he has some bizarre good intentions because he seems genuinely baffled when I tell him it's rude. Leave it up to a guy to blame the girl for being told how to do her job constantly. "Childish lack of communication" do you know how fucking dumb you sound? I literally gave you zero information that would suggest poor communication. If I had said "I hint at him to stop but he doesn't get it" yeah that would be stupid but I never even said how I responded. You somehow managed to blame me for his actions with no context!

[@anydaynow]

quinn murphy yup, super sensitive. Figures. All I said was handle your shit. It's your fault for letting something you don't like continue to happen. Fucking crybaby. Equal rights. Equal fights. A girl told me that in middle school. I bet she could whoop your soft ass.

Reminds me of news segments on some cable news programs where the topic will be "the black community" and none of the panelist are black. I've seen Fox do this a lot but I've also seen it on CNN and MSNBC.

[@DeMonSpencer]

btw, the term "the black community" gets misused constantly. It's mostly used when ignorant people want to talk about black people like we all live in the same neighborhood, have the same political leanings,have the same issues, etc. Forgetting that we are a diverse race of millions and can't be summed up to a single monolithic unit or a problem that needs solving.

[@ps374249]

No, the women really did take part in the protest, but the joke is the sketch is bad because of it. Generally speaking, it seems to me the majority of the people at SNL are feminists, and this sketch was probably written by the two of them like they said, but they were purposefully making it awful. As for the other sketches in this episode, the female writers and cast probably wrote some sketches on Tuesday and Thursday knowing they wouldn't be there on Wednesday, and the male writers at SNL also realize that turning this episode into some kind of a bro fest would result in Tina Fey will probably come into the writers room on Monday and kick all of them in the balls, even though she doesn't work there anymore. Still, even though the sketch was written mostly by men (if you watch some of the "making of SNL" videos you see that they always do some revising on Thursday and Friday) the joke works not only on the level that men don't always manage to help women when they set out to do so with things like this, but also shows what happens when writing rooms aren't diverse. It's really a great sketch.

Audience members laughing one at a time as they slowly realize what's happening

[@madelinerock6951]

Correct me if I’m wrong, but I think the point of this skit is to show that while this is a big issue that women face, oftentimes men get credit recognizing these things. As if being kind to women makes you a better man, when in reality, that’s how a normal person should ALWAYS treat women. Again, this SNL skit kind of went over my head as I was trying to understand better

[@windsofmarchjourneyperrytr2823]

It's about derogatorily using the term "girls," for obviously grown women. And saying the women all have a story to tell, and then not asking about it. And doing ALL the talking.

[@adonutasimpledonut9713]

Scarlett has such a genuinely confused look on her face, I'm laughing so much😂😂😂😂

[@happygoluckycindy]

People are truly missing the whole point here. The joke is not in the skit, the skit is the joke itself (if you can't already tell from the contrived nature of this video). This is not a post of hate, it's just an analysis of all the symbolism of common notions of modern-day sexism: 1. The fact that the men had names but the women are just referred to as "these women" --> no consideration of a woman's individual identity 2. The fact that the men decided to write a speech all about women --> men think they know all that women have been through; in fact, they have never lived as a woman so despite knowing all the facts, they can't truly understand what it's like being a woman. The whole idea of you will never be able to fully step into someone's shoes. 3. The fact that when men talk about the grievances of women, they don't let them speak --> still not respecting what they've got to say, thinking they know better, mansplaining, overpowering women with their speech by taking away their voice and agency 4. Calling them girls --> very demeaning. They are women, not girls. 5. Lorde --> again the whole "men know better" 6. Writing the same line for women --> again removes their individuality, also show the idea of men liking women who agree/praise them/plump their ego ("thank you for saying that"), non-argumentative women, no actual views of their own 7. Disparity in number of lines --> could perhaps reflect men's perception of women's lack of ability + this play purports to be a microcosm of the real world: men dominate this play as they do in the real world 8. Going to the table of women --> jumps into the assumption that all women want to complain about sexism (this is not a particularly strong analysis of mine, just throwing it out there, just feel like it's a bit of the "here we go again, let's hear you whine" kind of attitude 9. The constant glancing at the camera + exaggerated tone of voice --> men's concern as somewhat superficial at times, it's all "for show" (this sketch is super metatheatrical) 10 "They are called micro-aggressions...is that true" --> sounds straight out of "Father knows best" --> men teaching women, men in a more superior, knowledgeable position. 11. Sarcastic tone of voice --> questioning "do they even care" 12. When they talk about women they don't look at them --> kind of hypocritical, not real respect for women, no real concern. Again "it's just for show". Also, men talk is for men, women shouldn't but in (like they are "looking from the outside", and are part of an out-group as opposed to the men's in-group). What do you think? Any more things to add to this list?

[@Syphaxis]

So, basically what you're saying is that we don't get it because it was feminist propaganda.

[@u235u235u235]

can you blame men? they're reenacting the behavior they observed in the home as children. women need to put a foot down on mansplaining in their personal relationships as mothers and wives if they want this behavior to stop. i suspect they won't because in the end men love to be listened to and admired more so than women. roughly 90% of patents in the US still from men. and when woman-only patents (not multiple sexes on patent), women only account for 4% of US patents. we know which sex has the creative juices. i hope these stats change.

Funny subtle touch, the men are named IMMEDIATELY "its so good to see you ACE and JAKE" and neither Aidy or Scarlett character are named or recognised as anything but 'girls' also, the "is that true?" line from Aidy and Scars characters is hilarious when talking about micro aggressions, its that patronising and mindset that women know less as a man on behalf of women, id like to say great sketch

When I was in high school, 10th grade, in 1986 there was a big news story: Barbara Mikulski was the first female Democrat elected a full term to the U.S. Senate. When she was seated, there were a total of two women and 98 men. Now there are 28 women in the Senate. A lot less rare than it was back in my youth.
