“It drives me nuts when I wear makeup and a man says to me, ‘Oh my god, I didn't recognize you! You're so pretty.’ This is the ultimate backhanded compliment. I don't wear make-up at my day job because I don't consider all of life a show. A simple 'You look very pretty today,' is fine. Beyond that, we're not that close, so please keep your comments to yourself. I don't tell you when your bald spot looks extra shiny, don't tell me when I'm looking tired or fat or thin. I have a mirror. Believe me, I know.”
-Corinne Fisher, comedian, New York City
“要是我化了妝，一個(gè)男人對(duì)我說: ‘我的天，我都認(rèn)不出你了！你真美?！俏医^對(duì)要?dú)庹?。這純粹是挖苦。我白天工作時(shí)不化妝，因?yàn)槲也徽J(rèn)為整個(gè)人生是一場戲。他只要簡單地說：‘你今天真漂亮’就很好。別的話就算了，因?yàn)槲覀兊年P(guān)系并沒有那么近。所以，不要亂說話。我不會(huì)告訴你今天你的禿頭有多亮，所以你也別告訴我我看起來很累或是胖了瘦了，我自己有鏡子。相信我，我自己知道的?！?br/> ——喜劇演員科琳·費(fèi)希爾，來自紐約

“Can’t you take a joke?”
No.8 “怎么就這么開不起玩笑？”

“Sometimes when men find out I perform stand-up comedy, they think that gives them permission to 'fake-insult' me. When I don't laugh, they ask, ‘Can't you take a joke?' to which I say, 'Can't you tell a joke?' Enjoying humor isn't a green light for reciting every sexist joke your uncle told the family at Thanksgiving dinner.”
-Carolyn Busa, host of "Side Ponytail" in Williamsburg, Brooklyn
“有時(shí)候當(dāng)男人發(fā)現(xiàn)我是個(gè)單口相聲演員時(shí)，他們就會(huì)認(rèn)為自己有權(quán)拿我開涮。如果我不賠笑，他們就會(huì)問：‘怎么就這么開不起玩笑？’我說：‘你就不能自己來個(gè)笑話？’看滑稽表演并不意味著你可以把你叔叔在感恩節(jié)家庭聚餐時(shí)說的黃色笑話搬到這里來?！?br/> ——布魯克林區(qū)威廉斯堡市節(jié)目《側(cè)馬尾》主持人卡洛琳·布薩
