I’m old and I think “wife bad” comedians have always existed. I suspect that if looked at the 1970s comedy I grew up with - I’d be surprised (if not shocked) how much casual misogyny there was. I assume this sort of stuff - “What’s wrong with women/girls? Why are they so stupid? The other day…” - was considered normal in stand-up, in tv series, etc. Long after things have changed - it can be surprisingly hard to remember the details of what used to be mainstream.
The difference today is it’s unacceptable for stand-ups to hate on women to a normie audience. Turds like Schneider can’t help themselves. They have to attack… erm - I mean “make jokes about” somebody so they moved on to small minority groups like trans people.
I think Schneider is playing with fire. One day he could realize he became too problematic and he lost the support of his all-important patrón Adam Sandler. I’ve always wondered if Sandler’s a sort of a shitty person in private and in reality.
I like to believe Sandler’s politics are those of You Don’t Mess With The Zohan, which features an Israeli supersoldier quitting the army for love and teaming up with a Palestinian supersoldier to beat up white supremacists funded by a capitalist

Woof. How embarrassing.
Is it me of have a lot of gen X comedians become like “wife bad” boomers?
Gen X internalized boomer culture. They may hate that they did, but they did, and they know it.
We love our gen X and Boomer comrades though. It must have been hell growing up through that and somehow staying left
Absolutely. Leftists over 40-ish are true survivors. I don’t buy into generational war crap. That’s distraction from the real war, the class war.
