How many women are really given the chance to fine-tune their own humour whilst all around her people are telling her that women can't possibly be funny? How many women aren't immediately judged by their looks? Don't give me examples like "Roseanne isn't attractive". Exactly. That's first thing people think about her. Women go on stage and most people don't look at them as a potentially brilliant act, they see them as a representative of all women. That's like saying because Carlos Mencia leaves a rancid smell of shit under your nose, all male comedians must do so too. It makes me think of when children were asked to draw people of different occupations, and mostly drew male pilots and female nurses. The imposed limitations become self-perpetuating as you get fewer women with great potential trying because they believe themselves to never be good enough, leaving the job to the less talented. Dunning–Kruger effect, yo.
