    I get the point, at the same time that ain’t just any man, that’s Craig Ferguson and he’s amazing too. Not saying he can’t make mistakes, but he’s an absolute legend in late night.

      Power imbalances exist in our society, such that women on the whole are the oppressed, and men the oppressors.

      Therefore, the same situation is not equitable, depending on who is in control.

      Craig and CBS are the patriarchy and in control, and Carrie is the resistance. She is permitted to rise up (in small or large part) against the patriarchy, because the power imbalance existed then as it does now.

      So no, it’s not okay for you to tell women to shut the fuck up. If anything, they might listen if you listened.
