They find that the humor in Esther politically supports both the subordinated gender, women, and the subordinated ethnic group, Yehudeans. Such an understanding misrepresents the political perspective of Esther, and needs re-examination. Bea Wyler describes a situation in Esther wherein the author challenges the oppression of Yehudean men, while reaffirming the subordination of Yehudean women.
