Guys, GI Jane is hot. It's not even an insult.

«Pinkett Smith suffers from a condition known as alopecia areata, which leads to hair loss. She had spoken about her “issues with hair loss” in 2018 in an episode of the Emmy-winning American talk show ‘Red Table Talk’.

“It was terrifying when it first started. I was in the shower one day and had just handfuls of hair in my hands and I was just like, ‘Oh my god, am I going bald?’ It was one of those times in my life when I was literally shaking in fear. That’s why I cut my hair, and why I continue to cut it,” she had said.
In December 2021, Pinkett Smith posted a video on Instagram about her condition, in which she ran a finger across a bald line that has developed around her scalp due to alopecia.
“Now at this point, I can only laugh. Y’all know I’ve been struggling with alopecia and just all of a sudden one day, look at this line right here. Look at that,” she said.
Earlier, celebrities like actors Viola Davis and Tyra Banks have spoken about their struggles with alopecia areata, and revealed that they suffered massive hair losses due to stress.
What is alopecia areata?
Alopecia areata is a condition that causes sudden hair loss in patches. “The condition is developed after the immune system attacks the hair follicles, resulting in hair loss, which cannot be observed easily. These patches connect and then become observable,” Dr Vijay Singhal, Senior Consultant, Dermatology, Sri Balaji Action Medical Institute said.
Not just the scalp, sudden hairfall may also occur in other parts of the body. “It can occur suddenly in any part of your body like the scalp, beard, moustache, underarms etc,” Dr Kritika Bansal, MD, Dermatologist, Sharda Hospital, Greater Noida, explained. It may also develop slowly and occur again periodically or repeatedly after years between instances.
What leads to alopecia areata?
In this disorder, your own cells attack the hair and cause them to shed, forming clear patches of hair loss, Dr Bansal said. It mostly occurs in people who have a family history of auto-immune conditions, such as diabetes and thyroid.»

It's baldness. If you don't like how it looks, wear a wig. Wigs can be pretty awesome, even better than your real hair was.

Clearly it’s a sensitive issue for her

Don’t condone violence.

As it was for George Costanza.

No disrespect to people with Alopecia. But it's not some life ending condition. There was a bit about alopecia on arrested development, no? And probably Rock didn't even know. It's not like she lost her hair because of cancer or something.

so nothing like having alopecia. i need something else that you are ok with us making fun of your wife about, this won't cut it.

Losing hair is probably not fun for anyone, but there are simple solutions for this. It's cosmetic, guys. She's only suffering from her massive ego.

That's my point. GI Jane is hot. Not even hurling a huge insult or anything. It's like if you have a mole on your face and I say you look like Cindy Crawford.

Welp. That didn't take long.

What if Chris Rock posted a picture of a kid on a ventilator, without the spoiler tag?

Weak analogy for obvious reasons.

Look, my sphere of influence in this world is 30” tall and doesn’t even know how to tie her own shoelaces yet. My view is that people’s need to project their sense of justice onto a couple celebrities they’ll never meet is a bigger symptom of our collective sickness than whatever happened at the Oscars last night. It made for entertaining clickbait while I was brushing my teeth I guess.

I am not making an analogy I am making fun of you.

You should have slapped him.

I imply that my one buddies wife is annoying to said buddy all the time and I think he agrees.

Some people are too defensive of their own people. It can get to a stupid level.
