Embracing Body Negativity: Challenging the Pressure of Positivity.
Samantha Irby, a humorist and supervising producer on the upcoming "Sex and the City" revival, discusses her scabrously honest and scatological writing style, her struggles with body image and grief, and her thoughts on joke sensitivity. She believes that it's okay to hate your body and that people should be able to express their true feelings about grief without judgment. She also thinks that the current trend of being overly sensitive to jokes is too much and that people should be able to make their own choices about what they watch and listen to.
