Yes, some women are funny. No, some women aren't funny. It's similar to how some women are tall and, you know, some women are short.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
When you're a woman, you have to work harder to get a laugh... I follow so many hilarious women on Twitter. It's a daily reminder that women get to be funny.
There's a lot of pretty funny women out there.
Women have been funny for years.
At some point in the past, it was decided that women in comedy are never supposed to be shown in an unflattering light. But in comedy, you need all of your tools to be funny.
Saying women aren't funny is now like saying Asians can't drive or saying black people have bad credit. It's just really, like, so obsolete.
I think the whole concept that women aren't funny is dead. It's over; it's done.
I grew up in a time when women didn't really do comedy. You had to be homely, overweight, an old maid, all that. You had to play a stereotype, because very attractive women were not supposed to be funny - because it's powerful; it's a threat.
I think there have always been funny women, from Carol Burnett to Joan Rivers. When the audience sees a woman, they innately know she's worked twice as hard to get there, she's had to prove that she can be the leader, first, and then be funny on top of it. She has to emit a confidence that she's in control.
To me, I've never understood why there is any question about are women as funny as men.
A woman is a woman. A woman has male problems, has job problems, and I think funny is funny.
