Sisters are doin' it to themselves
All you need to read from the latest package of drivel from the Washington Post’s latest article on Why Women Can’t Make It In Comedy:
“In all of the programming we do, we’re always looking for something original and innovative,” says Lauren Corrao, who heads original programming and development for Comedy Central. “But at the same time, it has to be provocative and edgy. That doesn’t preclude a woman. It’s just more of a male style of comedy.”
And, yet, some women cling to the notion that the only way that “women are going to make it” is if “women are in power.” Behold the powerful woman at Comedy Central who clings to the notion that good comedy comes exclusively from men.
The entire article by Paul Farhi is packed with the usual cliched quotes on Women In Comedy.

Wow, 27 years in this business and the same shit. How did I ever bring up my child and still make a living? Oh that’s right, I never whined about being a chick & just was funny.
