This post is about the film we watched on the last day of class... the piece by Eddie Izzard (which I still think would be a great name for a lizard).
To be honest, I didn't realize he was actually a transvesite until after the film. I thought that was just part of his routine.
There were some links between gender and violence, but what I saw more of was religion and violence, which we didn't really get into in this class. I think a reasonable link could be made between gender and religion, making religion a patriarchal organization (at least Christianity and several other big religions). I think we read some articles about this in the beginning of the semester but we didn't really dive too deep into them. From there, with the link between religion and violence, an indirect link can be made between gender-(religion)-violence. However, the comedian didn't really go into this too much.
It would be interesting to see if he has any other related routines.
