The Politics of Politically Incorrect Jokes

Somewhere in the middle of Nanette, as I was crying and laughing, I thought about how political incorrectness is the soul of stand-up comedy.

The Politics of Politically Incorrect Jokes

Themes

In Plainspeak publishes one issue every month, with a single theme running across two months. Our aim is to expand safe, inclusive self-affirming spaces.

CURRENT ISSUE:

February 2025: Anthology Issue

Looking down upon the earth from many miles up in the sky, the divisions between land masses and water bodies are quite stark, with the coastline clearly demarcating land from water. But when our aeroplane cruises at a lower altitude, we begin to discern water bodies within land masses, and land masses within water bodies; there are rivers and seas, and archipelagos and distinct lonely islands. The terrain of consent is a bit like that. And just like those rivers, seas and islands were shaped by complex factors, so is consent.

UPCOMING ISSUE:

March 2025: Consent and Sexuality
