"When we tap in to all of those silent female voices we will have better media and funnier comedy, that's just what happens when you select from a bigger pool without sexist blinders on."

Are you saying comedy clubs, The Tonight Show, etc, are purposely (subconsciously or whatever) not choosing many females because they want males, or don't want females?

How about youube? I've seen several Ray William Annoying Orange Johnsons out there who get a million+ hits on each of their videos. I'm not aware of any female youtube comedians with that many hits***. Are all of us internet people biased too? Or could it be that like most sports, most of the best comedians are male?


*** Before anyone points out a female YOUTUBE comedian that gets a million+ hits per video as if that contradicts what I said, compare the number of such males to females.
