UnCaged Cabaret is Sexist Sleaze!

That is the charge by a group of feminists called "Resist".

Apparently they saw an ad in the Weekly and decided this show is demeaning to women (because it's "Cabaret") and may picket the theater.

One of them called the theater manager, claiming to be with the McDermott office, and upset her by nastily accusing her of promoting sexist stereotypes, said ALL the women in the office were outraged that anyone might think this was connected to McDermott.

But a McDermott staffer called us and said: "Don't worry, the show is fine with us, as long as you make it clear that it's an independent effort. Don't let the protestors bother you. They have a right to express themselves, and so do you."

Oh well, at least picketers charging sexist SLEAZE would probably guarantee us a full house! I can see Belltowner writing his check right now...

And where would we be without our sexist sleaze?

Dina ran afoul of one overwrought Taliban feminist who took it on herself to try to throw a monkeywrench into the show by making crank phone calls.

A little protest is probably good publicity. For all I know, it's not too late to add somebody juggling monkeywrenches.

Got a URL to "Resist"?

I googled it and ... well. that didn't work.

once again, language,

words, words, words

I don't like seeing "feminist" attached to this group, as there are so many flavors of feminism, and this bunch sounds nuts.

outta touch radicals?

I don't know.

Of all the crimes agaisnt humanity, expecially the XX half, perpetrated by bushco every minute of every day,

what do these people get outta protesting this event?

should liz walk 3 feet behind me and only speak when I speak to her on Sunday night?

rmm.
