@AnaKasparian I also am a woman, and proud of it and fight for us every day, but not everyone who deals with reproductive issues is a woman. Speaking with inclusion does not erase your womanhood and you actually can't support the trans and GNC communities without inclusion.

The fratty jock genre dominated entertainment and white dude executives helped it grow to a point where it took up most of the spaces in radio,TV and comedy for a long time. It shut out many talented women and POC. When U dismiss it as merely "lame", u ignore its profound impact.
Most of what Tucker said that has caused controversy are lame attempts at provocation, embedded in the fratty/gross context of the shock-jock genre.
