Sexist, patriarchal, misogynist, heterocentric, and homophobic male dominated industry.
Has anyone heard/read what some men comedians (especially from Joan Rivers' generation) say about (1) women and (2) women comedians?
Comedians are often considered a window into societies. They definitely mirror how patriarchal societies view women as weak, perpetual victims, in need of a man to be the "lead", and primarily defined and valued as mothers and wives. Therefore, most people either do not find women funny or only want women comedians to do "woman jokes". ETA: Google "women not funny" and "women comedians not funny" to read the nonsense.
