Louis C.K. is probably the most cerebral comedian in America (that means smart, for those of you who aren’t cerebral). He knows what’s up. In an interview with Fast Company, the father of two young girls basically outlined the future of America: Men be shoppin’, while women be running the kingdom:
Overall, I think it’s a good time to have a girl in the 21st century because things are changing, with more opportunities for women. But girls are still the underdog, which means they’ll work harder, and everybody loves an underdog. The next Steve Jobs will totally be a chick, because girls are No. 2–and No. 2 always wins in America. Apple was a No. 2 company for years, and Apple embodies a lot of what have been defined as feminine traits: an emphasis on intuitive design, intellect, a strong sense of creativity, and that striving to always make the greatest version of something. Traditionally, men are more like Microsoft, where they’ll just make a fake version of what that chick made, then beat the sh*t out of her and try to intimidate everybody into using their product.
You hear that, fellas? That was the sound of your testicles being handed to you by a woman. That glass ceiling? They just shattered it over your skull. The next Steve Jobs will have a vagina. And I, for one, welcome our new overlords.

I have ALWAYS welcomed working under a woman……..
….or behind her……
BOOBS
Girls do rule, at making sandwiches.
I dont know if a girl is capable of being as big a cock sucker as Steve Jobs.
Given that my grand ambition is to be a house husband, this is great news.
@tubesteak, agreed. My wife made me a pretty good turkey and swiss sandwich today.
Louis may be forgetting that women are completely nuts.
I love the sentiment, but I also love that Louie can say stuff like this without sounding cliche or pandering.
Bravo, Louie, bravo.
that glass ceiling? its now a glass floor. and women are standing on it. and we men? we’re all underneath. just looking up at women through a glass floor.
how does THAT feel fellas? pretty good? yeah?
wow. you’re right. i can totally see lips.
Jesus. When did this comments section turn into a goddamn writers’ room for a show on Spike? Get your shit together, people.
Puh, he totally stole that material from my wife.
“You mean, you’ll work all day while I look at gifs of boobies on the Internet? OK, I guess that’ll work.”
@Danger THE INTERNET IS SERIOUS BUSINESS
Mr. C.K. has clearly not seen the previews for Man Up!, or he would realize that men are now such underdogs they have to pretend to be women just to get ahead.
YOU GOT YER POLYTICKS IN MY TV NEWS
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Louis CK is a Mac user, today I lost not of my idols. (And I guess being a PC user makes me a misogynist, cool!)
I appreciate the sentiment, much in the same vein as MythReindeer, but I think Mr. C.K. might have a warped perception of Apple and Microsoft. Steve Jobs wasn’t so much creative as he was a dick boss.
*fuck I meant “I lost one of my idols”, I guess I was already done with him when I typed this.
PS: when are we getting comments edit? pleeeeaase!
For fuck sake Rowles. Did you fucking have to come over to warming glow and fucking Pajibafy the shit out of the place you quivering fucking feminazi.
(This of it this way, Supafly: You can torture me on two sites now. — DR)
Women may be taking over the workplace, but, you see, Ius men have the will of the warrior. Therefore, the battle is already over. The winner? Men! Rematch? You lose again! Had enough? We thought so! Hahahahaha!!!
It’s hard for me to reconcile this with the fact that:
“Bratz” Dolls still exist.
The most prominent future “career” associated with literature and toys directed at young girls is “Princess.”
If there’s a bug on the wall, time stops and I have to come all the way downstairs to kill it.
The only thing this article proves is that C.K, as funny as he is, can be a pandering hack and that Dustin Rowles is a neutered simpleton. I guess it’s men who have made reality TV the driving force of pop culture. It’s men who’ve made the Kardashians the omnipresent royal family of America. It’s also men who think Miss Congeniality is a more impressive film than The Godfather.
Then again, if you think Apple is less monopolizing than Microsoft, I guess anything’s possible.
