makeup blog for week 11

I decided to critique an episode of South Park that aired for the first time last week. The episode compares the act of men farting with the act of women queefing. Through most of the episode, all males vehemently opposed women queefing, claiming that it was gross and that "That's where babies come from!". The women honestly didn't see what the big deal was about because the men farted all the time and it was funny, and to the women, this was their equivalent. The women were annoyed with the men farting all of the time and didn't understand why farting was funny. So to retaliate, the women started queefing frequently, including on Butters' face, sending him to the hospital for trauma. Even on the Canadian television station, once dominated by Terrance and Phillip, known for their numerous fart jokes, queefs overtook farts as funny material as the Queef Sisters soon replaced Terrance and Phillip. The fact that the "sisters" dominated the television and the women in this episode took such widespread actions presents two statements about women. The executive producer of the station told Terrance and Phillip that the "sisters" took over the airwaves because they appealed more to the station's audience. Since all of the men found the queefs unbearably disgusting, it is safe to assume that the intended audience was women, showing that the woman's place is in the home as traditionally believed. However, the act of the women queefing shows women empowerment and a way of getting back at the men. About halfway through the episode, the men make it illegal for the women to queef, and they are all very sad and claimed that they "just wanted to have a little fun for once". Feeling remorse, the men allowed the women to queef, as shown in the above clip, establishing a kind of equality in the realm of gaseous expulsions. The clip shows a lot of heroic women and states that women went through a lot of hardship. Although the clip shows equality between the men and women, it still stands true that the men gave this equality to the women, illustrating the patriarchy that remains.
