Ellen DeGeneres-OK, on a good day.

Rosie O'Donnell-No, just angry.

Kathy Griffon-OK, but a fag hag primarily.

Dorothy Parker-No

Joy Behar-No, and a fag hag.

Janeane Garofalo-OK, but very fringe.

Roseanne-OK

Sandra Bernhard-No, and a fag hag.

Carrie Fisher-No

Nora Ephron-No

Goldie Hawn-No

Whoopie Goldberg-Marginal. Good at one time. Resorts to "Female" anatomy humor.

Rita Rudner-No, never was.

Caroline Rhea-No

Victoria Jackson-Marginal

Sarah Silverman-Yes, but her humor is much more like men than women.

Lily Tomlin-Once she was. Not for a long time.

Lucille Ball-Long Dead, doesn't count. You'll note I just listed ones who were alive, intentionally.

Gilda Radnor-Dead, doesn't count. See above.

Jane Curtain-Marginal

Carol Burnette-Not for a long time. Angry. See Lily Tomlin. Also, seems to like bad plastic surgery.

Elyane Boosler-Never was.

Margaret Cho-Never was.

Wanda Sykes-Marginal. She typically performs as the token black comedienne since Whoppi has been marginalized.

Fran Lebowitz-No, never was.

but I love a lady who can make me laugh. The comedy field may be dominated by men, but that doesn't mean there aren't some funny women. I can think of...

And my mom. Whose success isn't in entertainment, but man, she cracks me up.

fatties. Where are the ladies names who are funny and very successful? I could name 20 more men, at minimum. Point proven, women just aren't funny.

I'm just curious: what's the obsession with so-called angry fat cat ladies? What if someone's pissing you off right in front of your face, and you can see that they're not fat, not female (though if they're in your vicinity, sure they're probably at least annoyed), and don't have any visible cats? What do you call them? Incidentally did some woman molest you when you were a kid? You seem extremely fucked up.

And someone else said you're not funny--I think you can be amusing, though I doubt intentionally.

Have a good one, freak!

angry fat cat lady posts 3 times.

Obviously a woman laughed at the size of Ben's penis, and he's been traumatized ever since.

Seriously, never saw a dude who probably had less of a sense of humor than Dover. Wait, he probably enjoys snuff films.

Jon (NOT John) Stewart is funny, and David Letterman can be, and there are obviously a few others that are quite famous and funny to varying degrees (but Jay Leno funny? He's so lame)

It is amusing to see how you turn everything into a male vs. female rant, though...why do girls always have to be not funny/not good athletes/so inferior etc etc. according to your worldview, even when that was never the original argument? It's like you go out of your way to be snide and derisive. (Seems like you have some issues.) You sound a bit wired up...maybe you should go out and get laid, if this is at all possible.

I'm not fat and do not own cats, just as you do not have MBAs from either Yale or Princeton. Second of all, Jack Black, Eddie Murphy, Ben Stiller, Will Ferrell, Adam Sandler--I could go on....they are males, and technically comedians, but they are not funny. Actually it is embarrassing to watch them. The others, who knows, never heard of 'em and doubt they're funny. Now, take your prozac and keep thinking up more ways to vent out the frustration in your little life.

Now that we know you are just a fat complainer. I just scratched the surface. Women just aren't funny. There are maybe 5-8 successful female commedienes. They will never fill stadiums or command the salaries. They just don't have the earning power to bring people in to see them. People just don't give a shit about your fucking period, your tampons, your stupid cat, the guy who dumped you. These are not resonanat. Dumbass.

Twenty five funny boy comedians.

can name 5 women who are truly funny and successful.

Hitchens is so right. They just aren't. SNL has nothing to do with it. It is a general rule and truism.

It's stand-up comedians in general who are not funny...and SNL is painfully unfunny, has been for years. Don't blame the women. Look around you at your co-workers, relatives, etc...there are some really sly, funny women out there along with the guys.

And if you're the type to cast a dark shadow wherever you go, people are not likely to be funny while you're around (though you will probably be the butt of their joke the second you go away). I'm just sayin'.

Dumbass! Dipshit! Asswipe! Alimony! Fugly hens! I'm killin' 'em out there!

"comediennes" are not successful or famous is that nearly every one of them just isn't funny. Women typically aren't funny. No one gives a shit about jokes which reference tampons, a women's perior or similar shit that most of their comedic references are geared toward. They just aren't fucking funny.

Was created by 2 very funny women: Lizz Winstead and Madeleine Smithberg!!!!!!

Who cares how many women are on the show????

Grow up!

Being in a burka is prima facia evidence of being a criminal anyway.

Here is a topic that all feminists and others should discuss: what is the nature of domestic violence against men? To what extent are men doubly victimized by their wives AND by the Domestic Violence system that deeply believes that men must be the abusers?

Catherine, you would do me a personal favor if you would visit the Domestic Abuse Hotline for Men and Women

The Domestic Abuse Helpline for Men and Women provides crisis intervention and support services to victims of domestic violence and their families in order to help survivors recover from the trauma of domestic violence.

And if you would read the following paper and post about it:

Characteristics of Callers to the Domestic Abuse Helpline for Men

Denise A. Hines - University of New Hampshire

Jan Brown - Domestic Abuse Helpline for Men

Edward Dunning - Family Interventions Project

Abstract

Intimate partner violence (IPV) by women against men has been the subject of much debate. Feminists typically argue that IPV is committed only by men against women. Others argue that violence is a human problem and women also commit much IPV. To resolve these debates, IPV has been classified into two categories: common couple violence captured by population-based studies, and patriarchal terrorism, captured by studies of battered women. This typology ignores male victims of extreme IPV. The current study addresses this omission by describing 190 male callers to the Domestic Abuse Helpline for Men. All callers experienced physical abuse from their female partners, and a substantial minority feared their wives’ violence and were stalked. Over 90% experienced controlling behaviors, and several men reported frustrating experiences with the domestic violence system. Callers’ reports indicated that their female abusers had a history of trauma, alcohol/drug problems, mental illness, and homicidal and suicidal ideations.

Key Words: abused men; intimate partner violence; domestic violence; female violence
