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?
Er, yes, actually. Because believe it or not, even comedy clubs and the Tonight Show can be sexist. And they are.
Are all of us internet people biased too?
Yes. This really should be kind of a "no shit, Sherlock" thing. Of course "internet people" can be sexist. And they by and large are.
Or could it be that like most sports, most of the best comedians are male?
lolwhut. So your response to a question about sexism is to give us some sexism? Cos um, no, there are tons of very, very funny women out there - and tons of women who are very awesome at sports. Thing is, sexism not only denies them success within those fields due to societal stereotypes that women aren't as good at sports or as good at being funny as men, but it also denies them the ability and opportunity to try in the first place. It is incredibly difficult to succeed as a female comedian, and many women aren't going to even try because of the perception that they won't make it through the door in most places.
