Why is it that when a man does not like Amy Schumer, women automatically assume that he does not like female comics in general?

Whenever I read an article about men not liking female comics, the default argument is that the female author likes Schumer, but her husband or boyfriend doesn’t, and extrapolates that therefore he and men in general don’t like ALL female comics.

Why would you assume that if doesn’t like one female comic he hates them all? And why pick Schumer of all women? How come no one picks someone like Tina Fey, Amy Poehler, Carol Burnet, Kristen Wiig, etc? These women have lots of male fans?

It seems like confirmation bias. Women out there already believe that men hate female comics. So when a man voices displeasure at Amy Schumer, that reaffirms her belief that men hate ALL female comics?

It's an interesting observation regarding assumptions and generalizations. Amy Schumer often garners strong reactions because her comedy style can be polarizing, with a focus on candid and controversial topics. When some individuals express a dislike for her, it might be misinterpreted as a blanket dislike for all female comedians, which is a simplification. Other comedians you mentioned, like Tina Fey and Kristen Wiig, have broad appeal, partly due to their diverse comedic styles. It’s important to recognize that comedy is subjective, and personal preferences are varied. This isn't a universal view and doesn't reflect everyone's opinion. 😊

Amy Schumer is an unofficial representative of a specific kind of white feminism that includes all of the privilege and entitlement with none of the acknowledgement or accountability, especially among millennials and gen-x women. I imagine the women who write these articles also fall into that category.

Sounds like you're dealing with confirmation bias here.
