Over de LiefdeE121: Comedian Cally Beaton: ‘Vrouwen boven de vijftig horen: bedankt voor je dienst. Fuck off’“Bedankt voor je dienst. Fuck off.” Zo vat de Britse comedian Cally Beaton de maatschappelijke houding samen tegenover vrouwen boven de vijftig. Niet langer vruchtbaar? Dan ben je blijkbaar overbodig. Het idee dat vrouwen na hun “houdbaarheidsdatum” niets meer bijdragen — niet op de werkvloer, niet aan cultuur, niet aan de maatschappij — is even bizar als pijnlijk. “We zijn niet onze vruchtbaarheid. Dus waarom zijn we, als we die kwijt zijn, ineens useless?” Beaton, zelf 56, besloot na de veelbesproken uitspraak van de Franse schrijver Yann Moix — dat vrouwen boven de vijftig ‘onzichtbaar' zijn en hun lichaam ‘niet meer interessant' — haar st...
2025-07-0428 minOver de LiefdeE120: Comedian Cally Beaton: “Als Hugh Grant nu belt voor een date, zeg ik nee. Sorry Hugh!”Wat als je pas op je 45ste ontdekt wat je écht wil? Cally Beaton hing haar succesvolle carrière als tv-producer aan de wilgen en werd stand-upcomedian. Die radicale switch maakte ze na een etentje met Joan Rivers. De legendarische Amerikaanse comédienne zag haar talent en zei: “You can still do it. You'll regret it if you don't.” Twee weken later was Joan dood. En stond Cally - alleenstaand, moeder van twee, een kind met autisme - voor het eerst op het open mic-podium. Inmiddels is Cally Beaton (56) een gevestigde naam in het VK. Ze is comedian...
