“Comedians Giving Lectures” is a UK show that features funny people competing against each other to see who can give the best TED-style talk. One of the most memorable was by 32-year-old comedian Rhys James‚ who lectured about online stalking and his speech ended with a twist. He outed a surprised audience member as one of his online trolls.The lecture opens with a bit on how just about everyone does a bit of social media stalking‚ whether it's old-school friends or former love interests. But then he asks the big question: When do we know we’ve gone too far? Is it scrolling through hundreds of posts on someone’s page or accidentally liking a photo someone posted years ago?Rhys then admitted that he stalks just like everyone else but prefers strangers."You may not want to be stalked‚ but you shouldn't feel guilty for stalking. We all do it. You know what matters is who you stalk‚” Rhys said in his lecture. I'm sure everyone in this room at some point has stalked an ex and their new partner at some point. Maybe a colleague. Maybe an old-school friend‚ but that's not the title of this lecture. I stalk strangers online. Strangers‚ people I've never even met."As a comedian‚ Rhys has a different relationship with strangers than most. He has to deal with their opinions constantly on social media. So‚ why not give them a taste of their own medicine?At the end of his lecture‚ Rhys points out an audience member and lets them know that they are the victim of his most recent foray into stalking. The great part is how the troll slowly realizes they're the reason for the entire lecture.At about 4 minutes into the clip‚ he singles out "Dean" in the audience‚ who at first nods with surprise. He then takes it a step further‚ pointing out where Dean went to school and even his home address. You know‚ the kinds of things an online stalker seeks out. Dean nods with an uncomfortable smile before Rhys deadpans‚ "I know who you fu**ing are‚ mate."At that point‚ Dean literally covers his mouth in shock but still has a laugh along with the audience at his own expense. Rhys then goes on to highlight a mean tweet Dean once sent in his direction back in 2016. "You bully‚ Dean!" Rhys says jokingly. It was clearly all done in good fun and even Dean is clapping by the end. But Rhys did a great job of using his elaborate set up to bring attention to the real issue of online stalking and bullying. It's a master stroke that every parent should think about showing to their kids and more than a few adults themselves should take a look at.

Many citizens of western countries have no experience living in a war zone and the toll it takes on a person's overall wellbeing. Usually to protect the civilian population‚ other countries open their borders to allow those vulnerable inside so their needs can be met without the constant threat of harm. But not every population has the option to leave their war torn country for safety with the comfort of knowing they'll be able to return when it's safe. For some people‚ they have to stay where they are and make do with what's available. This means dealing with situations that people who are donating to assist innocent civilians may not realize things that are needed outside of food‚ water and baby formula. Bisan Owda‚ 25‚ is a journalist in Gaza who has made it her mission to strip the shame away from an issue unique to women trapped in the middle of a war.In a now expired Instagram story‚ Owda explained that when the war between Israel and Hamas started‚ women took birth control pills to delay their menstrual cycles. The hope was to avoid their periods until the war was over as it would be an inconvenience while displaced from their homes. Except‚ this conflict has lasted longer than most anticipated‚ which means women and girls have found themself in an unsanitary predicament unique to them. "The population of Gaza strip is 2.2 million people‚ 49 percent of them are women and women in Gaza do not have access to hygiene water‚ to personal hygiene supplies‚ to menstrual supplies‚ to sanitary pads‚" Owda says in a video uploaded to Instagram in early December. "They don't have access to all these things and women now are simply exposed to psychological and physical health risks because there's no products to use during their periods. Women are shy to tell you this but they don't have to be shy actually."

The conditions are overcrowded and there are very few functioning bathrooms that these women have access to. But it's not just the women who are experiencing their monthly menstrual cycles that are suffering‚ it's women who have just given birth as well. Postpartum women are instructed to keep good hygiene by changing their sanitary pad 4 or more times a day‚ using a squirt bottle after using the bathroom‚ and soak in a bath to aid with wound cleaning. Women who have just given birth are at a much higher risk for infection of their uterus if they contract common vaginal infections that can be the result of a lack of sanitary items. "We're suffering from being hungry‚ from being thirsty‚ from being bombed. We're suffering from being displaced. Now we are suffering also because there are no pads. It's just a new suffering‚" Owda said.When Owda interviewed Nour‚ a young woman living in Gaza about the lack of menstrual products‚ Nour explains‚ "many young women are grappling with this challenge‚ resorting to alternatives such as tissues or scraps of cloth‚ all of which are unhygienic. The cloth requires regular washing‚ cleaning and changing."A local doctor reveals to Owda‚ "each day we encounter numerous instances of fever‚ directly linked to vaginal yeast infections arising from inadequate hygiene and the absence of feminine hygiene products. Sanitary pads can't be found anywhere." The situation is dire and medical doctors in the region are expressing the danger that comes with lack of access to this critical sanitary supply. View this post on Instagram A post shared by NO2TA the Feminist Lab (@no2ta_fl) "It's extremely dangerous because we're talking about hygiene. When a woman is in good health‚ maintains cleanliness‚ and has access to fundamental necessities‚ it significantly contributes to the baby's well-being. Cleanliness is crucial for ensuring the health of both mother and baby. The lack of feminine hygiene products is not only a matter of health but also brings about a sense of humiliation‚" another doctor explains to Owda. After sharing about the struggles women are facing in Gaza‚ Egyptian Cure Bank‚ a hospital in Egypt has begun accepting donations to send medical supplies to Gaza‚ which include feminine hygiene products. Even though people are in imminent danger‚ they're still people so women will continue to need sanitary pads and babies will continue to need diapers. Hopefully more shipments of these imperative supplies will make it to the people that need it most because all people that have periods deserve dignity while managing it.

Back in December of 2023‚ LA-based‚ progressive comedian Madi Hart made a joke that went viral in the most unlikely of places: right wing media. Here’s what happened: Hart had just been on a date with someone she described as a “guy’s guy‚” who incidentally paid for everything on said date. In a TikTok clip‚ Hart joked that because of that‚ she joked "I felt the feminism leaving my body‚” based on a long running conservative meme.Apparently conservatives on Twitter missed the memo that Hart wasn’t actually serious about abandoning her feminist values. Cue a comedy of errors way more hilarious than the initial joke itself. As Hart explained in a follow-up video‚ her original TikTok soon became the subject of analyzation on the “Matt Walsh Show‚” where the staunch right-wing host noted that if Hart was willing to give up feminism in order to have things paid for‚ she needed to “be willing to play her part” in being a “feminine women that a masculine man desires.”But that was just the beginning. Pretty soon Hart was featured on Republican think pieces that labeled her as ‘progressive ‘artsy’ woman” and “smitten lib chick” who dated one “guy’s guy” and was now “ready to swear off feminism and dating liberals‚” marking it as a victory to the patriarchy. Yes‚ really. Hart then admitted that the real insult in all this was being called a “self-proclaimed comedian” several times. “I make money from this! I’m a proclaimed comedian!” she quipped. Of course‚ it didn’t stop there. There were also countless tweets of this nature:Girl goes on a date with a masculine man and it erases all of her woke programming. There is hope yet for the next generation of young people‚ as long as they can get away from the soy boy liberal snowflakes. pic.twitter.com/y8qry4jOud— Ian Miles Cheong (@stillgray) December 20‚ 2023 The power of the laws of nature cannot be underestimated.

How did she find this out? Her estranged Republican father called to congratulate her.Giggling and asking “why is this on national news?” Hart played the segment where host Jesse Waters shared the clip. She explained that apparently a “dating analyst” was brought on to discuss whether masculinity was‚ in fact‚ “dead or not.”But wait‚ there’s one more thing. Hart concluded her video by sharing‚ "In my TikTok‚ I say that I'm bisexual and most of my extended family did not know that I was bisexual. They all saw the clip because they all watch Fox News every night. So that is also how I came out to my entire extended family. Via Fox News." “Okay but coming out on national news is actually so iconic‚” one person reassured in the comments. Watch the full video below. And kudos to Hart for sharing all this ridiculousness while wearing a shirt of herself on Fox News. Please sell those at shows. @madihart_soccer Fox News is so UNSERIOUS 😭 #storytime #grwm #single #situationship #foxnews #bisexual #comingout #relationshipstorytime ♬ original sound - Madi Hart In an interview with Buzzfeed‚ Hart argued that the driving factor behind this peak comedy situation “comes down to an oversimplified‚ and overly-individualistic‚ perception of what feminism even is‚” adding‚ “who buys who a drink has literally nothing to do with feminism. But if conservatives expanded their idea of what feminism is‚ they would have to expand their idea of who the patriarchy harms‚ and they're not ready for that conversation.”Maybe not. But in the meantime‚ who says we can’t have a good laugh? Following Hart on TikTok and Instagram could help with that. Just remember‚ she’s probably joking!
