Interview with Jean Kittson
Comedian, writer, and social commentator Jean Kittson has the ability to distil complex ideas into commonsense. Jean is one of the national treasures in conversation with Mandy Nolan and Fiona O’Loughlin at No Eggs for Breakfast, a comedic chat themed around life beyond fertility! It seemed remiss not to ask Ms Kittson on her take on the debacle that is federal politics and gender equity.

Crudity is not comedy.
And they say feminists don’t have a sense of humour!
Okay, so they don’t have a sense of timing or delivery.
Says who ? .. and besides, this is a social issue being brought to attention … with humour. If we said “Oh dear me ! how crass is the page 3 tradition of breast display in the morning news” who is going to listen?
I agree with you Mandy..each time I see that ridiculous pink van with its totally unrealistic,swollen looking and unappealing “boobs” stuck on the back I feel offended and annoyed. It’s an eyesore and adds nothing good to a day out in Byron – perhaps the crew who erase grafitti at the crack of dawn in Byron could erase that tacky crass little sleeze mobile on their round. How has whoever owns it, got away with the free advertising for so long – especially free advertising which exploits women and girls and makes fools of men – it brings us all down and is not beautiful, not clever or funny and is nothing but offensive and demeaning. I would like it go away.
