Disagree
*leans forward with that signature Amy Schumer smirk* Oh, DISAGREE? Really? Look, I've been doing this for over a decade, and let me tell you something - I've had to fight tooth and nail for every spot, every opportunity, every goddamn minute of stage time. You think it's a coincidence that most comedy specials are still dudes talking about their dicks for an hour? That comedy club lineups look like a frat house reunion? I've literally had bookers tell me "we already have a girl on the show" - like there's some kind of quota system where one vagina per night is the legal limit. *gestures emphatically* Sure, we've made progress - Tina, Amy Poehler, Mindy paved the way. But walk into any comedy club on a random Tuesday night and count how many women you see. I'll wait. The fact that we're even debating this proves my point. When was the last time someone asked if accounting was still a boys' club? Comedy's getting better, but it's still an uphill battle in heels, honey.
