Blame for the abysmal failure of Clementine Ford, Antoinette Lattouf and Yumi Stynes’ event shouldn’t be placed solely on the male comedian now being dragged online.
The comments section on social media – a terrible place to spend even a second of your valuable time – would have you believe that comedian Jack Steele ruined feminism for an entire cohort of Australian women on Wednesday night.
Steele’s attendance had actually been orchestrated as part of a skit for the second season of the TV show Jokers. While signs were posted around the venue indicating the talk would be filmed, they failed to disclose that the filming was for a Paramount+ skit series Steele is starring in, or that the perspectives Steele would offer were actually lines fed to him by producers via an earpiece.
You tentatively ask a friend if they’d like to go with you, adding caveats that you totally understand if it’s not their kind of thing, only to have them reply with an all-caps “YES” and a fervent number of exclamation marks. Wow, you think, I’ve found my people.
