The point is that for a double standard you have to be able to compare two things and say that the response is not equal while the trigger is "equivalent".
In your mind the triggers for these two events are equivalent.
There is apparently no convincing you that they are not equivalent.
It doesn't matter if you don't see it.
Actually, I don't see them as equivalent, except in their importance.
Neither matters me in the least.
In regards to how terrible they are?
Bee's was far worse than Barr's.
Consider:
1. it was presented during her program.
2. by definition, that involves foresight. She's not an improv comic.
3. You can't even repeat it. You can't say it in mixed company. You can't write it on a cigar forum.
Barr's aimed at the looks of one woman.
Face it. VJ has an unusual face
in many of her pictures. And by unusual, I mean like a mask. A mask used in sci-fi films circa 1970.
You can deny that, sure.
But you'd be lying.

I've never met her. Hell, I never even heard of her before all this. She has a lot of photos that DON'T look like a bad hollywood movie mask. But it's not a stretch to say she does, based on much of what's out there.
This isn't Don Imus saying Nappy Headed Ho's in regards to a ladies basketball team. That comment target a group of women based on their race.
Roseanne is an unfunny beast of woman. But her comment didn't target VJ based on her race as much as it did her looks.
A better argument to "prove" it's not a double standard is that perhaps ABC and TBS have different values.
And maybe that's true.
But that doesn't explain the disproportional outcry from Joe Public.
Ignore the far right and far left. Too many of those in the middle are so far gone with TDS it reminds me of when Bill Clinton convinced them that he didn't have sexual relations and it mattered what the definition of "is" is.
Same people.
Same partisan reaction to what MSM tells them.
But when somebody speaks against what the media tells them, people like you lament because you can't convince me otherwise.
