Womens comedy doesnt attack the powerless; it makes fun of the powerful. It doesnt create barriers; it can often help break them down. It is cyclical, often depending on a whole story rather than just on the punchline. It often proceeds out of anger, but transforms anger into a challenge to the opponent. It can translate fear into power, or insecurity into acceptability. Laughter is as a powerful as a gift as it as a weapon, and it is crucial to understand the way it works for women. Womens humor has a purpose beyond sheer entertainment. As stand-up comedian Elayne Boosler explained The best who stand up, stand up for something. #humor #comedy #womenshumor #laugh
