I don't quite see the analogy: are you saying that the opinion that women aren't/can't be funny is tantamount to saying [insert race] aren't/can't be funny and that both are equally prevalent? If so, I'm not sure I'd agree w/ that, as I rarely ever hear statements from comics or audience members that…

Then why write the article? Admitting that you're being self-congratulatory doesn't justify it. Why, if so many of us seem to be in agreement that women can be and are as funny as anyone else, does something like this need to be stated explicitly? It strikes me as an easy point.

So ridiculous I think, that discussing it only helps create an idea in the minds of some people that women being incapable of being funny is even a thing. I fail to see how that's sexist but maybe I'm…

It was not being funny.

Well that's good. Now if we could stop debating whether women are funny or not we'd be all set.

How is one openly sexist yet doesn't want to seem sexist?

Both. Some men are not funny.
