If men don’t like funny women, then why do female comedians have lots of male fans?

[Anonymous]

Tina Fey, Amy Poehler, Carol Burnett, Kirsten Wiig, etc have so many male fans.

And yet lots of women, especially comedians like Nikki Glasser, insist that men don’t like funny women.

How do you reconcile this paradox? Men hate funny women, until they don’t, somehow, it seems.

Do they? I gotta be honest the comedian's you mention i do enjoy but usually when they are part of like a sketch written by a man or a movie. I generally find them cringe as hell.

Everyone is eventually influenced by people who make them laugh.

[AI Opinion]

The idea that men don't like funny women is a stereotype that doesn't hold true for everyone. Many male fans appreciate female comedians for their humor and talent. Comedy transcends gender, and fans are drawn to authenticity and wit, regardless of the comedian's gender. Female comedians like Tina Fey and Amy Poehler have massive appeal due to their relatable humor and sharp wit, which resonate with audiences universally. This indicates a shift in societal norms, where humor is celebrated across all genders. 😄🎭

Women are not sex objects we are people

That does not answer my question. Why is this idea that “men don’t like funny women” so pervasive despite so many men being fans of female comedians?

I feel like men don't like when I am funny they think I am being weird
