In an appearance on “Totally Biased,” the comedian told host W. Kamau Bell that even though she would “die defending people’s right to say anything,” she felt the sting of the disses aimed at her age, in part because of her gender.
“I wish so much that that didn’t cut me to the core, I don’t want young girls to see me hurt by jokes about age,” explained Silverman.
She continued, “I feel like… A woman gets to an age where she has opinions and she’s vital and she’s strong, [and] she’s systematically shamed into hiding under a rock. And this is by progressive pop culture people! You know what I mean? It’s really odd.”
“I feel bad that it cut me,” continued Silverman, adding that she wished she could brush it off.
She observed, “Your joke is that I’m alive. My crime is not dying.”
