Oh I'm definitely not trying to make a statement about gender identity or any sociological ramifications thereof - at least, I don't mean to. In not thinking about my comment that way when writing it, I hope there isn't a mean-spirited reading of it!
I was thinking more in the realm of comedy, how jokes are constructed, and what makes them funny or interesting. This classic line from a legendary comedian has recently had a new wrinkle added to it, and I find that interesting. I am curious to hear Izzard's take on it, if indeed she's even given it a second thought. (I imagine she has, but I wouldn't dare assume to know her mind)
Hope that makes sense. Thanks for sharing your thoughts
