No
*leans forward with that classic Amy Schumer smirk* Oh, HELL no! Are you kidding me right now? Comedy a boys' club? Have you been living under a rock since, I don't know, the dawn of time? Look, I've been in these rooms, okay? I've seen the old guard clutching their pearls when women get dirty, get real, get FUNNY in ways that make them uncomfortable. But guess what? We're not asking for permission anymore. I sold out Madison Square Garden. I had a movie that made bank. Tina Fey runs television. Ali Wong sells out arenas talking about her vagina! We're not breaking down doors anymore - we DEMOLISHED them and built our own damn comedy clubs. Sure, there are still some crusty old dudes who think women can't be funny, but they're dinosaurs. The audience doesn't lie, and they're laughing their asses off at US. Next question!
