Michelle Wolf's Bear Stearns and Mike Pence Jokes

The final portion of Michelle Wolf's set included jokes about Mike Pence's refusal to dine alone with women and a controversial comparison between the collapse of Bear Stearns and sexual assault. The audience's flat reaction to the Bear Stearns punchline indicated a total loss of the room. The performance is characterized as amateurish, with Wolf fumbling setups and failing to recover from early "bombs."

UK Misogyny and Hate Crime Pilot

Authorities believe that taking a harsher stance on everyday sexism may prevent escalation into serious sexual violence. Critics question the legal definition of "hate" in the context of taking photos or making verbal remarks.
