I've just watched Bridget Christie's Netflix special, Stand Up For Her.
I should point out for people unfamiliar with Bridget's shtick that the name of her show is not designed to remind men what they should do if they're sitting on a bus and a pregnant woman gets on and can't find a seat.
No, not at all: the words "for her" relate to the names of everyday products designed specifically for women.
You know the sort of thing I mean: there are products that have a version "for him" and another "for her".
With that sorted out, I can tell you that Bridget Christie is by far the funniest feminist comedian I've ever seen.
I won't go as far as to say she's the only funny feminist comedian ever seen because that might be construed as derogatory to all the feminist comedians who aren't funny. And we wouldn't want that, would we?
Moving along, Bridget's Netflix show is 50 minutes of mainly feminist propaganda but it's very funny, completely without anger or hatred or bitterness and it's also educational. It's a masterclass on how to get your message across and still have the non-snowflake men who turned up for the show still sitting there as you're saying goodbye - and being very glad indeed that they came to see you.
There are very few comedians in the world these days whom I can watch for more than 20 minutes before I lose interest - but Bridget is certainly an exception to that rule. I watched her for 50 minutes and I could easily have watched her for another 50.
She's great!
