Women Don’t Get to Be a Little Gross

Pattern · comedy_performance · personal_truth · visibility: publishable

‘Women don’t get to be a LITTLE gross like dudes do’ — and when they are, it’s never taken seriously (people laugh at Amy Schumer, not with). The Aristocrats is canon precisely because it’s ‘so DUDE’: gross-out as a closed loop of male comedians rubbing and tugging each other. Her standard is harder and more social: ‘can you make a hardened Polish seamstress laugh out loud when you talk about your armpit carnivorously eating your titty tissue?’ She wants to be a smart, slightly gross woman comedian and have every layer of the filth respected as deserved.
