Seriously, I keep waiting for that 'Triumph the Comic Insult Dog' moment to kick in, where he explains that the whole thing was a joke in bad taste, you know..?
"For me to poop on!"
But no, that context is seemingly lacking, wtf?
I'm honestly baffled, here. Jim Jefferies is normally GOLD in everything he touches, but... *&$@# is this anti-woman shizzle?
I MUST be missing the joke, right? Right..?

Damn, that's disappointing.
Jim is so good when he's taking on guns, idiot politics, crazy stories, and all that... I'm seriously baffled why he'd shift to women as a punching bag.
You mentioned Maher, another comic I used to love, and I can't help feel you're right on the button with that analogy. It's like he came out hitting home runs, and then fell in love with the idea that he automatically had prescient things to say about society.
Something like that, anyway.
Maybe you are just really learning what these people are like... I don't know much about this guy, but Bill Maher was always a piece of shit.
I don't know remotely enough about what Maher is like behind closed doors to say for sure, but there was a time when he was essentially the most progressive mainstream comic in the States. By a wide margin.
Not unlike Joe Rogan to an extent. Once a solid standup comic and interesting interviewer who seemed to get wrecked by fame and money, or something like that.
You know there is more to someone being a good or bad person than their political leanings, right? That seems to be the only thing you are considering, but some liberals are pieces of shit. It isn't mutually exclusive, and a big fat paycheck (or threat of lack thereof) tends to push people in directions...
No, I am merely constraining myself to known information. I don't make assumptions about a person's 'goodness' based on merely political leanings, public statements and that sort of thing.
If I don't know for sure then I'm not going to call someone a "piece of shit" over something that might have triggered me.
