Got A Peen? Well, You Won't Be Interviewing Portia de Rossi Then

Portia Lee James de Rossi DeGeneres (that sounds like I'm ordering a light wine and a frozen pizza) has made the host of Australia's Sunrise show David Koch scream "SEXISM! SEXISM! SEXISM!" after she told producers that she would rather talk to his female co-host about her new book than him. WILL SOMEBODY THINK OF THE RICH WHITE MEN?!!!

In Portia's book, she writes about her battle with anorexia and how she came to terms with the fact that loving labia is in her nature, so maybe this is why she prefers to talk to the ladies. Portia also refused to talk to Fox FM's Hamish Blake and Andy Lee, but it's David Kroch that is throwing up his arms about her NO PEEN policy.

David Kooch tells The Herald Sun (via News.com.au) that in his 8 years of talking to people on TV, he has never once been turned down for an interview because he's a dude. David Kock went on to explain how he feels,"If a male said I don't want to be interviewed by a woman, there would be a massive outcry of discrimination. Obviously she has got issues and I feel quite sorry for her...I admire what she and Ellen have done for community tolerance and inclusiveness. But it is a real contradiction for what she stands for, which really surprises me. Maybe she is uncomfortable with men, but she plays opposite male leads."

Or maybe Portia is so afraid that locking eyes with David via satellite will awaken animalistic desires in her loins. But seriously, coming from someone who was raised by women only, it might be hard for me to talk about important things in my life (examples: peen, dick, wang, dong, schlong, etc....) to a straight dude. Wait. What am I going on about?! I'm lying. I could have a deep conversation about dick with a subway pole. Why do you think they don't let me go down there anymore?

David: Just playing a little catch up.

Signed,

Every woman and girl from the beginning of recorded history to today who's been silenced, subjugated, marginalized, minimized, de-humanized; blocked from the vote, from the bank, from bars; blocked from the boardroom, and once let in, still also 100% responsible for the housework and children; paid less for the same job; told directly and indirectly that their bodies are for sale, for the appreciation of the male gaze, that it's too fat, thin, loose, tight, short, or tall; that we should smile more and lighten up; that boys will be boys; that we are lesbians if we rebuff you; that the old boys club/network is OK, but not the old girl club/network. That we exist in relation to others, specifically males.

Note from the commenter:
There are few males who would publicly announce a "no female interviewer" policy, although I am fully confident that these males exist. Perhaps Portia could have walked that walk instead of talking that talk to avoid screams of sexism and setting back the women's movement (which should, if it's not always, predicated on equality for all, not just women), but this in NO WAY lessens my approval of her sentiment.

Portia de Rossi, I thought that was a French portable toilet that sprays your ass with cheap sparkling wine.

Does anyone want to bet that this whole contoversy has been manufactured to try to create some buzz around this book? Maybe the hope is that people will get curious as to what deep and dark and itchy feminine excretions Portia can only talk about to another female.

I can see where she's coming from. I'm a woman, and whether I was gay or straight I wouldn't want to talk about my sexuality with a man. I just wouldn't feel comfortable knowing he's probably cracking a damn boner listening to it

In regards to her anorexia, that was back when she was on Ally McBeale and it was blatently obvious she was either withholding food, or yacking it back up as she was a walking skeleton.

I am curious as to who wants to read the book anyway? I mean she has pretty much vomited up the entire contents of the book already in interviews, so what's left to read?

As for her anorexia- Boo Hoo. Like another poster said, we have all had issues we have dealt with at one time or another.

As bullshit names go Portia De Rossi takes the cake...I am all for showbiz people to adopt professional names but I always thought hers was just ridiculous. It sounds like she stole that from a romance novel about an Italian Contessa who gets porked by a stable boy with long flowing hair like Fabio (ugh). And Martini & Rossi red over ice was tasty and very popular in the disco years...I remember stealing sips of it when adults weren't looking. Not like I was Drew Barrymoore or anything :-P

I know someone who knew her a long time before she was famous, they have told me numerous times that she is one messed up in the head chick. As in, real mental disorders. So, it's actually pretty sad.

I love how he's presenting her as troubled or a bitch for making reasonable demands and having personal preferences. I mean, please. And since he's probably been curled in the fetal position feeling emasculated ever since being rejected (after he was done whining to the media and having a good cry), he should probably be worrying about his own issues instead of "feeling badly" for some woman who seems to be doing just fine.

btw Hamish and Andy (the radio guys she also rejected) are very nice so she seems to be only interested in ultra-serious interviews. I saw her interview on Ellen's show, she cried a lot.

I'm so sick of hearing all the hype of her battling anorexia; people oooohing and awwwwing over her reaching 87 pounds. Sure she could have died, but so can the person that does the extreme opposite & overeats.

He's doesn't want to f- her, he just wants to do a professional interview. So if she said she didn't want to be interviewed by Negroes 'cause she can't relate to them, that would be okay too? Somewhere between Ally McBeal, Arrested Developement and whatever else, she has done interviews with men and lived to tell about it. If you want inclusion, and equal rights in society, you have to include and equate everybody, even, (the horror) MEN! What a hypocrite.

David Koch is a loud, unsubtle goofball on morning TV because he is so perky that it probably wakes people up. It would be weird hearing him asking about lesbianism and anorexia.

He's always complaining too. He is the one that let the world know that JUSTIN BIEBER hates being touched. Like, "Don't fucking touch me, dude". Bieber is sensitive.

Thanks for speaking the truth.

I can understand her. She will be talking about very intimate and painful issues, it's not that she'll be talking about her new haircut or spray tan, for fuck's sake.
Yes, she wrote about her experience, but that's the beauty of writing, it makes you relieve without feeling exposed and vulnerable.
Writing about something and talking live about something are such different things, she has the right to try to feel as comfortable as can be.

I prefer to have a female gynecologist. Nobody accuses me of sexism.

On topic, it's obviously easier for her to talk about her self esteem issues with a woman. If the host is able to relate to her, it makes a much better interview. Now, I'm not saying that dude has never been obsessed with his weight, but I somehow doubt it.
