The Daily Show’s Jessica Williams Hilariously Destroys Catcalls

Sexism in politics!? No way! It’s almost like there’s some kind of invisible, institutional machine holding back real progress on these issues! Weird. The Daily Show isn’t going to just let it slide, though. The above clip provides some rage-inducing context for how the issue came up, and then Jessica Williams utterly lays waste to catcalls below.

Yes, that 90% smile rate is probably directly analogous to a 90% making-women-uncomfortable rate with a 10% margin of error. Congratulations?
