    They're not "unsafe" - they're unstable.
  • @WillCamx
    If a woman saying she's a woman makes people feel unsafe then God help us all.
  • @Estiallina
    Anyone who feels “unsafe” - I mean, actually endanger, from a joke should just stay home hiding under their bed.
  • @Ma_rkw589
    "I don't want to see it, so nobody can see it" the height of narcissism indeed
  • @hetrodoxly1203
    I never imagined in my long life i'd see a woman cancelled for describing a woman, what has happened, i hear people call it 'clown world' they're not wrong.
  • @justme.9711
    We live in an age of lying bullies and mass cowardness.
  • @geneawisea2708
    Good for her for standing up and speaking out. Screw those adultchildren who complained
  • Oh FFS. That club owner is clearly in the wrong business and should either quit or grow a pair. Give no apologies, Mary and take no prisoners!
  • @tmenzella
    “When did cowardice become a fetish” this lady has just got another fan, good for you 👍🏻
  • @triggered577
    If someone makes you feel unsafe and they are going to be at a comedy club, wouldn't the rational decision just be to not go to the comedy club?
  • If a joke makes people feel unsafe, I can't imagine these same people coming to grips with their own mortality. None of us are getting out of here alive
  • Never heard of Mary Bourke before but I'll be searching her comedy now.
  • @infallibl
    Very skillful comedian.. She's gained another fan anyway..
  • @Jean-qn4fy
    Unsafe. How stupid can this get? Did they think she was going to leap off the stage and best them with her microphone?
  • She shouldn’t be cancelled , she should be in national tv. The common sense in her act is astronomical
  • @zantas-handle
    Lesbians and dark-skinned people make my Granddad feel 'unsafe'. I kept telling him that was wrong, but he'll be delighted to discover he can now have them banned.
  • @Problembeing
    These people claiming to feel ‘unsafe’ are some of the most hostile and scary people I’ve seen.
  • Well done Mary! Say it how it is! No one needs ANYONE to tell us the meaning of the English language and the tongue we have spoken for the last 1000+ years,or to change everything around and dictate to us!
