“For women, frump isn’t funny any longer. The new female comedian has to be the sexual aggressor, sexually provocative, dominant and successful," says entertainment expert Patrick Wanis. "Hollywood is now portraying women as the dominant force – the boss, the rescuer, the heroine, the hunter. Now women are being sexually provocative and sexually aggressive, rude and funny without the femininity or the class. Lucille Ball would never have played the aggressive, domineering nymphomaniac that Jennifer Aniston portrayed in ‘Horrible Bosses.’"

Wanis also says funny women who aren't all that sexy may struggle in the new comedy landscape.

“Rosie O’Donnell and Janeane Garofalo will be relegated to playing the female versions of Chris Farley. Hollywood doesn’t want a woman that is not sexually enticing like Rosie; it wants the sexual alpha female,” he said. “The same trend is being seen on reality TV Snooki and all the ‘Housewives.’”

This article is gross.

5. Rather a shallow, ignorant article.

Actually, article is something of a misnomer; very little actual writing was done. It's just a handful of comments strung together, and an obnoxious stew of sexism and ignorance.

As for Janeane Garofalo's career, it's inaccurate to call her the female equivalent of Chris Farley. As Lawrence O'Donnell observed the other night, Garofalo gets more offers than she can possibly accept.

Which is why we've all heard of her and not "entertainment expert" Patrick Wanis.

Check out Garofalo's credits and awards at IMDB, but with this caveat: You'll be there a while.

discusses dominance and success.

way to reduce her to a thing and become the dominant.

there was nothing in the article.
