He really wrote this
By “he” I mean Hilton Als, in the New Yorker, writing about Neil Labute’s new play “Reasons to be Pretty,” and by “this” I mean this:
Watching women in the audience laugh at Steph’s anger and at Kent’s arrogance is terrifying but predictable. It’s rare that the oppressed don’t identify with their oppressor.
I wasn’t at the show, so this is just a guess — but maybe they laughed because it was funny?
