What is that SNL sketch? The famous "Point, Counter-Point" 1979 sketch starring Dan Aykroyd and Jane Curtin. The one where Dan Aykroyd says the phrase, "Jane, you ignorant slut."

I actually burst out laughing when I got to this part.

These people need a serious talking-to. It's clear they have no idea what the sketch was about, and that it was actually deeply and brilliantly anti-sexist to its core. Let alone the of climate of the time, or how their reaction might be received by the great Jane Curtin.

There's also this concept of "irony", but that may a bit too far out for them at this point.
