History of Feminism

Trevor Noah is having a fantastic week. Yesterday, he was announced as Jon Stewart's successor on The Daily Show, a move that incited resounding cheers across the media. In recent years, Noah gained a significant following both for his stand-up comedy and his one man show, "Born A Crime," which chronicled his life as a a mixed-race child growing up in South Africa. No doubt, his is a vital and talented voice on the scene — but he hasn't always used it for sharp, intelligent commentary. In fact, like many comics, he's made his share of terrible jokes. Unfortunately for him, he made a lot of them on Twitter.

"Happy Women's Day ladies. Hope you all have a great day. Even you Caster," Noah tweeted last August, regarding Caster Semenya, the South African runner who was forced to undergo genetic testing regarding her gender after winning the gold medal in the 2009 World Championship. Fans rebuked him for the tweet and he simply replied: "I joke about everything."

Noah's tweets run the gamut from questionable to blatantly homophobic, transphobic, misogynist, anti-Semitic, and good old fat-girl jokes.
