Comment on What was going on in England in the 1970s to give Monty Python so much comedy fodder that is still relevant today?

It was ABSOLUTELY started by women joining the workforce due to WWII.

I like to make a joke how Hitler was the biggest driving force in the feminist movement. Not because I support Hitler, and not because I’m anti-feminist.

I do it because it amuses me so much to say a wild and absurd claim like that, where womens feminists movements happened because of Hitler, and then watch their faces when I explain in a calm voice, with logic and reason, that there is a legitimate explaination for how all of womens progressive movements happened because of the most evil man in modern history.

I make sure to carefully tiptoe around saying that HE was a feminist. He was not. I never claim that. But by making THE LISTENER frame it in their own mind that way, and then explaining facts and truths, their faces contort trying to find the flaw. It’s great.

Again, not pro-hitler, not anti-feminism. Just very much pro-trolling chaos.
