Our princess ruled

88 comments

I don't specifically remember that episode of the late, great, Late Show with Craig Ferguson, but EVERY SINGLE APPEARANCE of the people's princess was magical.
They played off each other so masterfully and both were just their honest selves.
She gave him a set of novelty dried kangaroo testicles on one visit that he regifted to a woman explorer with MS who was going to North Pole.
- Craig was, and still is, the master of 1 on 1 interviews.
  Conan comes close in his podcast, but doesn’t quite reach the same level
  
  Most late shows the start of the interview meant bedtime.
  For Craig, it was usually the highlight of the show.
  
  Conan's podcast is fantastic in that regard. I never watched his show much for a variety of reasons, but I can't get enough of his podcast.
  Craig's podcast is nearly the same level as his talk show, but it's really dependent upon the guest. Diedrich Bader was quite entertaining.

is there a fediverse version of /r/abrathatfits ?
- There are not enough women in the fediverse to maintain femme-centric communities.
  Most of the ones I used to be subscribed to shut down due to being abandoned/unmodded. And they turned out that way because of harassment.
  It's a huge issue that no one will address. Mostly because they will be harassed.
  It sucks.
  
  Wow, I had no idea it was like that here, that's terrible :(
  
  I'm a dude. Can I help?
  
  There are not enough women in the fediverse to maintain femme-centric communities.
  Or maybe they rather mask a man / gender neutral. Internet is not a friendly place to have girl oriented conversations. I made the mistake to be open about my gender with this account and the odacity of people is astonishing.
  
  If I may:
  pick a small instance (mine fits the bill) or host your own (a bit of sysadmin skills required)
  start a local-only community
  spread the word
  While growing up, it can always be opened up for test runs to see if moderation efforts are justified to keep it open permanently.
  Main downside: all users members have to be on the same lemmy instance, at least in the beginning.
  There's also a potential problem of my instance not fitting because of I myself am a man.

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.
- just goes to show that even good men are convinced of their assumptions about women
  
  Or somebody having a fun interesting conversation will be pilloried by Gen Z/Alpha.
  He was injecting that to make sure a question that many people would have would be addressed by Carrie.
  Lemmy: Durr…. White Man Bad

If I am going to need to run, or even take stairs briskly, I need a bra. Or it's going to sting.
- I take off mine the moment I step through the door after work. Necessary for outings and exercise yes, but still wouldn't say I "like" wearing them.

could i get some more pixels
- Found one here on Facebook https://m.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=4821962037877759&vanity=nerdsjustwannahavefun&slug=d41d8cd9

I'm a man and I would have been curious to hear the audience response, but my job isn't hosting a talk show. I wouldn't be surprised if Oprah jumped in.
- Legit wouldn't be surprised if he saw the obvious answer coming and thought he'd give her a chance to make it funnier and more memorable
  I've been called nasty shit for setting up friends for similar joke enhancements by people not familiar with us, I bet pros do it too
  
  Absolutely - I'm not familiar with this host but Dave Letterman used to butt in all the time. Sometimes he made ridiculous objections and challenges, to create opportunities for bouncing back and forth. When guests got that (Teri Garr, for example) it was always fun to watch them interact. Some others (like Cher) who didn't get it just thought he was an asshole.

she said hold on a sec not stfu you mAaAnNn!

My sister likes wearing them (not an assumption on my part; she has expressed liking bras a lot), but I can imagine that it's more freeing, as a trans person, to do so than not doing so.
- Yeah, i got over it after a year or two personally though

My ex would wear bras even though it seemed like she didn't have to.
Her warehouse work attire was loose black shirts with band art on them, so I thought it would camouflage any nipple silhouette.. 🤷 still a mystery to me, but it seemed she was worried about the gaze of others.

If I told a woman to shut the fuck up and told her it was because it’s a “man topic” would that be ok too? Or does sexism only work one way?
- If you asked the men in the audience a question about a personal, not social, issue, and a woman host tried to answer, you'd be entirely right in telling her to hold her damn horses, you weren't asking her.
  
  but ... but we're supposed to be oppressed! they're trying to kill us all!
  
  IT'S SO HARD FOR A MAN TO LIVE IN A WOMAN'S WORLD !!!!!
- I mean if you were asking a group "Do you find briefs keep your balls in line", and a woman started talking over everyone, I think it would be perfectly reasonable to say "sorry this question is only for people with testicles.".
- You'll notice Carrie didn't say stfu she just said "wait a second"
- From other comments it seems like the context is they know each other and it's not really like that. More so because it's not a broad topic, it's a question about personal experience, shushing someone trying to weigh in on how other people must feel about something they're only speculating on is reasonable.
- 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.
  
  I’ve never oppressed anyone, I’m a native so I know about oppression but it comes from your men and women towards ours
- Your sexism is one directional, yes.

Then don't wear them?
- If I don't wear a bra my nipples will show prominently through nearly every one of my tops though
  
  Not to mention that for large-busted women, it's even more uncomfortable to go without any support. My partner hates bras but is always wearing one (even in the privacy of our home) because otherwise her boobs get sore.
  
  I wouldn't complain but I can see why you might want some light armor
  
  Welcome to the club? My buddy T-dogis like Mr glass nipples big deal. This is the same argument why woman can't go topless but men can.
- Not really socially acceptable in many parts of the world.
  
  In solidarity, I'm going to start wearing latex shorts that clearly outline my pen.....and I'm arrested immediately.
  Either sexuality is taboo or it's not. Unfortunately, it is still taboo.
  
  A big salty tear. Stand up for what you believe in otherwise life isn't worth living.
- I think many don't wear them, while at home.
- My gf doesn’t really unless there’s a top she wants to wear that requires it. 99% of the time she isn’t wearing one.
  
  And 100 percent of the time she is fine?
