This episode wasn't funny. Just because I'm a woman doesn't mean everything women-related will make me laugh. South Park is so FAIL lately.

Also, I don't understand how this is a double-standard. Wouldn't the actual double standard involve women farting out their ass like men? When you take two different things, you can't exactly complain when they're viewed differently.

If men made some kind of penis noise, I'm sure that would be more disgusting than a regular fart, ya know?

I seriously never watch South Park; Comedy Central just isn't in my general channel rotation so I always forget, but every time I do catch it (see: premiere of this season about Disney/purity rings/Jonas Brothers), I laugh so much and so loud.

I don't get this. Women don't just randomly walk around 'queefing' it is the guys who cause it so why should any women feel embarrassment over it?

@Elaken: That was kind of the fun of the episode, I think. No one randomly walked around queefing, until the Queef Sisters did it on TV and introduced the idea of queefing as a form of humour. Then, when the women of South Park realized what kind of effect it had on the men, they began queefing with delight at the dinner table, in school, etc, just to make the menfolk squirm. I don't think the show was saying that women are or should be embarrassed about their queefs, it was only having a bit of fun at the expense of men who think queefs are gross, for some inexplicable reason (agreed, it makes no sense for men to be grossed out, especially if they think farts are funny).

@The Queen of No: Umm.... I'm afraid I haven't the anatomy to tell you... But there are a bunch of videos out there that describe "how to."

Surprise! Queefing videos have a huge underground internet following, I guess - and not as a male fetish - but as something that girls / women amuse EACH OTHER with.

I think this is making fun of feminism - the idea that women will make a political issue and fight for the right to do something disgusting and dumb - it's like they're trying to imply that equality is going too far - which seems like an antifeminist message

@Fashion Police: I don't think so. As I recall, the women didn't make it a political issue; the men did. The men were the ones complaining about queefing and trying to get it banned while the women were just rolling their eyes going "Why is this such a big deal? You guys think farts are funny, right?" and then delighting in making the guys squirm by queefing on command. At the end, when the men had successfully banned queefing, Sharon wasn't taking a passionate political stance on a woman's right to queef, she was just congratulating the men on getting their way (as always) and being assholish enough to actually outlaw queefing.

Maybe I'm not recalling it exactly, but I didn't get the impression that it was the women aggressively fighting for their right to queef, so much as it was the men aggressively fighting to take away that right, and the women were just standing up for themselves. It was more about bringing to light the sorts of social stigmas attached to women's bodily functions and having some fun with that, rather than making fun of women for fighting for ridiculous rights.

I was so-so with the episode. I loved the concept, the idea they were going for, but I think it could have come out better than it did. It just wasn't as well-executed as most SP episodes are, in my opinion. Maybe it was just the fact that there wasn't really anything to draw the male viewers in effectively, and I was feeling the sort of awkwardness that happens when you know that not everyone is really into what you're watching. Does that make sense?

That said, all the queefing was hilarious! And I loved the jokes on Canada. Our wine country has three wineries, eh? And for some reason, I loved the fact that all Canadians seem to wear their first initial on their T-shirt, and the queef sisters STILL couldn't tell Terrance and Philip apart! Ahh, good times.

Almost a year ago someone sent me a Youtube link - I don't remember who, or what the link was about... But in the Related Videos, I discovered a little-know treasure-trove of girls and young women queefing on Youtube. At first, I just laughed and clicked through a few links, but then I began to see that this was a thing of much larger significance - a movement - a shattering of the last juvenile taboo, if you will. I was then quite amazed at the Internet's power to liberate both the sacred and profane.

It was then that I imagined sitting in front of an angry Assistant Principal, and saying "No, you're right, we can't have this kind of thing interrupting class. I'll talk with her." Then, I imagine myself and my (imaginary) daughter walking to the car, appearing reverent and serious to the world.

Then I picture us getting in the car, the doors closing and my surrendering to convulsions of laughter. "No love, you're not grounded, just don't do it in class."

I'm enjoying the new season so far and it might be off topic, but Bill Hader is producing...

And that episode mocking Twilight (the Ungroundable) when the goth kids decide to send the lead "vampire" to "the most horrible place on earth"....what location do they land on in unison, immediately?

Scottsdale.

Where Bill went to school.

I might be wrong, but if he played any role in that episode, I enjoy it even more.

My hardcore crush on our Malkovich/Daniel Plainview/Gizmo doppelganger just keeps growing...

Mrs. March's speech totally fit in with South Park's tradition of ending episodes with a moralistic speech that usually touches on truth but is slightly overblown, showing that the writers are skilled at satire. In this case, I thought that they touched on feminism in a really modern, apt way - that women are rarely allowed to act like idiots at mens' expense. I loved it, my boyfriend fell asleep. And they say feminism's dead.

It's quite fascinating to me that the South Park guys managed to make an episode that 1) amused many women, & 2) ruffled selected menfolk, who weren't even being mocked. (In fact, the irritation might be that they were not the focus, or the bringer of laughs).

That's not something you see everyday.

heh heh heh. Queefs = funny is about as deep as I'm willing to go with this. But how many guys really think they're all that terrible? Mr. Glass generally giggles when one happens, as have all his predecessors ever since, like, my senior year of high school.

Um, what is that guy talking about when he says 'Are queefs anything that anyone anywhere has to deal with on an even semi-regular basis?'.

Any enthusiastic leg over head/doggy style action during sex usually makes me queef. Perhaps I am a freak. Whatever. Dudes put me in those positions then dudes need to deal with the consequences.
