For real, we are taught to see things through the eyes of male (that they are the standard of what is human). They dictate a lot of what we see as funny, not funny, etc. Considering that it’s coming from their eyes, we females then emphasize with what they find funny. So that’s why we can laugh at rape jokes, jokes on domestic abuse, jokes of female behavior, because we’ve already been raised to emphasize with the male perspective. However, males are taught the female perspective is illogical, and quite frankly they don’t care about our perspective because we aren’t seen as second class citizens. Which is why even when a female comedian is good, males will under estimate her because they can’t relate. However we are all supposed to believe DANIEL TOSH is funny?

Side note: It’s a given that some of these women are not funny.. But it’s not cause they are woman, it’s cause they aren’t funny.
