He makes a good point!
Jon Stewart has always had a knack for highlighting the absurdities of our society, and this time he's calling our attention to how much the media is obsessing over Caitlyn Jenner's appearance.
"Caitlyn, when you were a man, we could talk about your athleticism, your business acumen. But now you're a woman and your looks are really the only thing we care about," he said on the Tuesday episode of his show.
He also highlighted how all we're doing is focusing on her looks, and using other women as the barometer of how attractive she is. "Look, we want to give a woman a compliment here. We just need to make sure another woman gets taken down a peg," he noted.
"Caitlyn Jenner, congratulations. Welcome to being a woman in America," he concluded.
