It honestly makes me sick knowing that men are willing to discriminate against women for something that’s supposed to be a man’s job. I’m so sick and tired of these fucking men! Really, I am.

It makes me so fucking sick that women are still being undermined and treated like shit for shouting their perspective while men get to get away with whatever the fuck they like.

It’s 2025 people!

Anyways, let’s dive into the hellhole that is first off with r/Trueunpopularopinion, which is anything but:

”Women comedians are not funny, they are all absolutely atrocious at it 

Not even one, so don’t bother naming the exceptions because there aren’t any I’ve heard them all. They all joke about the same handful of subjects and have terrible writing and stage presence. Call me whatever names you want, it won’t change the facts.”

Well, at least with this post, a lot of people are calling him out on his bullshit, so I’m not too bothered by it.

But this next set is really gonna kill me, and it’s no other than Quora. More like Quor-UGH!:

”Two reasons.

First, their material is generally crap. Most of what female comedians talk about is related to their bodies or sex lives. Not only does this display a relatively shallow range in terms of what the comedian talks about, it also quite naturally disengages pretty much half of the audience. If 50% of the crowd at a given performance is men, then jokes about women’s bodies, periods, and gynecological exams will land with a thud among fully half of listeners. By contrast, a male comedian’s routine about, say, idiot bosses resonates with pretty much everybody because we’ve all had terrible managers and supervisors. By sticking to navel gazing (ob-gyn matters, stretch marks, boyfriend/husband bashing) female comedians have narrowed their audience and gotten themselves stuck in a rut.

Secondly, women simply aren’t funny in the way that men are. An excellent example can be found, right here on this board. Read some of the answers to questions like “Are female comedians actually funny?” and then scroll down to the comments from women, many of whom claim to actually be in comedy. These so-called female comedians howl and scream bloody murder when men claim that women aren’t funny, yet in not one response or comment do these women actually say anything humorous or even slightly witty. If guys are challenging you and saying you’re not funny, instead of responding with “You’re a sexist” or “You’re just bigoted” you might want to, I don’t know, try being actually funny.

And before someone responds that female comedians don’t need to justify themselves to anyone—um, yeah, you do. In a creative field, you constantly have to prove yourself and your ability. Nothing will be handed to you and you have zero credibility unless you can actually prove it.

Being in a creative field, such as entertainment, is hard work. Actors, musicians, writers, comedians—both male and female—get raked over the coals all the time. Even megastars like Tom Cruise are slammed and mocked when they make a bad movie. So why should female comedians be exempt from criticism by virtue of their gender, when their own performances are crap?”

First of all, your first reasoning makes no fucking sense. Why is it when a woman talks about her body and her sex life, it shuts out all the men, but when men talk about their bodies and sex lives, women are supposed to relate to them otherwise they don’t have a “sense of humor”? I don’t understand the fucking double standard!

Second, women can talk about whatever the fuck they want in comedy. Our individuality matters a lot to us as do men, and we have the right to talk about it! Third, men comedians’ topics are nowhere near as broad as you’d like to think, since the majority of male comedians constantly bitch and complain about their wives or girlfriends, or their exes. Even if they’re supposedly talking about different subjects, listen carefully and you can narrow it down to what their themes are. You guessed it! Complaining about women! It’s funny how you men love to label women comedians as male bashing and bragging about normal women stuff that you find gross, yet you’re fine with normalizing men stuff like dicks and semen and complaining about their wives!

Fourth, fuck you! Fuck you in the ass, dick, scrotum, and ballsack! Humor is not stored in the penis, and you know it! It’s funny how you like to justify your sexism by demonizing women’s reactions and exaggerating them to make them look hysterical while you men make complete asses out of yourselves, screaming and jumping up and down like a bunch of toddlers or even ripping their clothes off or punching the wall, as if that’s SOOOOOO funny, hardy harr harr. Also, women have the right to call you sexist and a bigot, because it’s true, you ARE a sexist and a bigot! All you’re doing is gaslighting women and being an overall asshole just to excuse your hatred of women and then going “you didn’t even bother to say anything funny, so that proves you’re not funny”! You men think you’re so funny by twisting everything around and desperately making women look bad whenever they try to stand up for themselves? Try talking shit to a female professional wrestler and see where that gets you!

Fifth, here’s your next mistake, you think women have everything handed to them, huh? Well, you’re wrong. Women were treated as lesser to men (and still are), we had to fight our way to achieve rights, so we weren’t going to be given anything anyway! We allowed men to walk all over us, treat us like servants, and they STILL get a free pass! You men think all we have to do is PROVE ourselves to be worthy, well I hate to break it to you, mister smarty pants, but we have already been proving ourselves to you in front of your faces, for HUNDREDS OF YEARS, may I add, and yet we STILL aren’t seen as equally capable! We’re sick and tired of constantly having to prove ourselves to your stupid ass face when all you do is keep saying no regardless of how hard we’re trying!

And lastly, no one is protecting women from criticism, because the slandering against female comedians isn't criticism at all! If anything, it is nothing but a hate crime that’s been accepted for too long! Receiving death and rape threats every day online is NOT criticism! It’s bigotry, and that’s what it should be called! No exceptions! And a side note, Tom Cruise is not funny.

”Because they’re mostly awful.

If you watched 50 female stand ups and 50 male stand ups, chances are you’d find more of the men funny than the women, regardless of your own gender.”

I call bullshit. Imagine cherry-picking only 50 people for each gender and coming to the conclusion that women are not funny compared to men. Well, two can play at that game. I’ve watched 50 of each gender and I’m stating as a fact that men comedians are annoying and insufferable compared to women.

“As there aren’t that many female comedians compared to male comedians, it seems that a lot of them get “torn down”. If it were more of an equal ratio, the tearing down would seem more across the board.

And unfortunately, it seems like the women that are out there fall into one of two catagories - either their material is raunchy or it’s relatable only to women. While men do male-relatable material, there’s also a lot of guys out there that do material that’s relatable to both sexes/genders/etc.

Honestly, where is the female version of Steven Wright or Mitch Hedberg?

Another thing about material that is only relatable to women seems to tear men down a lot more. How many female comedians can you name that do material that speaks positively of men (at least without being sexual)? Or how about in a domestic situation, men are actually the hero? Usually, it’s about how men are stupid, clumsy or inept and the woman “has to come and save the day”. When men do this, it’s self deprecating and acceptable as the person doing the material is pointing out their own shortcomings. But when women do it, it’s seen as “girl power!” and men just have to nod and suck it up.

As for the raunchy material, I think the women that do this type are trying to do comedy they feel is relatable to men, because in their mind, that’s all men understand. They usually go with the old adage that “men are simple”; that all we want is food, sex and SportsCenter.

Not saying women aren’t funny, but who are the ones that say the #1 thing they’re looking for in the other person is a sense of humor?”

Firstly, this isn’t the kind of own you think it is. If anything, it sounds more like a jab at the patriarchy. Second, comedy is supposed to be raunchy! It’s supposed to make some people squirm, especially black comedy! Third, like I asked earlier, why is it acceptable for male comedians to discuss on topics only men can relate to, yet it isn’t when women do the same that centers on women’s issues? Also, plenty of female comedians talk about issues that all sexes can relate to. Gotta love the cherry-picking!

Fourth, why does it matter what style of comedy a woman does? And also to make things even, where are the male versions of Amy Poehler and Tina Fey? Fifth, why is it bad when women talk men, yet it’s okay for men to do the same to women? Let me ask you the same question, is there any male comedian that says anything positive about women without making it sound sexual? Or what about in domestic situations, the woman is the hero? In every single show run by men, women are portrayed as stupid, annoying, bitchy, narcissistic, nagging cunts and eventually a man slaps a woman in the face and screams “SHUT UP YOU STUPID COW!!!”. When women do it, it’s self-deprecating and acceptable as it points out her own shortcomings (aka some random entitled Karen). Meanwhile when men do it, it’s seen as “men rule, women drool” and women must either laugh at it or be a laughing stock in front of the male audience.

Sixth, why is making generalizations about men bad while male comedians make generalizations about women all the time? Not to mention, that is the majority of the material that men use to be funny. Stereotyping women as annoying selfish nags who only want attention and painting nails and reading magazines and never care about the men’s needs, tends to ostracize the women in the audience as these kinds of humor will only relate to men.

And finally, yes, you are insisting that women aren’t funny. You’re claiming that men are better comedians than women, because only men are smarter and rational than stupid emotional FeMaLeS! I’m here to tell you the truth. Men aren’t funny. They think they’re funny, but they’re not. All they do is pull some sort of man logic out of their ass and disguise misogyny as humor to lure in angry women calling them out on their bullshit only for them to claim that women have no sense of humor and need to “suck it up”. As a result, women are slandered while men are thriving.

It’s time to break that barrier, the barrier that’s silencing us all! Men are upset that women are stepping up and speaking our side of the story! They are truly afraid of us, and they will do anything to set us down a peg, and it shows! Ladies, follow your dreams, keep speaking your truth, and leave those losers to throw tantrums all they like!
