I actually felt disgusted listening to three men discuss this as though there were no women available to speak about what it might mean to them to consider Bill Cosby's art. The absence of women in this conversation sends a rather loud message about the importance of women's opinions on your show, and I find this deeply troubling. Surely you must have learned something from the Jian Ghomeshi debacle about the undervaluing of women's voices, and what this actually does to women?
