Kathy Griffin on gender inequity

Kathy Griffin, in the course of flogging her current 25-city tour, in the (L.A.) Daily News:

When I was starting out, there were more girls out there. Now the ratio is about 20 to 1. It’s just unbelievable.

We’re unclear on the point of Griffin’s expression of disbelief. Just who is to blame, if that is the correct word to use? And, perhaps more importantly, what would she have us do? Bring in the EEOC? We direct Griffin to Traci Skene’s column on the subject of gender and joke-telling here.
