Virtue signal maiden Amy Schumer spent her Monday talking about how hard it is being a woman.
She sat down for the latest episode of Dax Shepard’s podcast Armchair Expert to give her perspective on the daily struggles of life as a celebrity -- with all the hand wringing and pearl clutching we’ve come to expect from celeb interviews. In Schumer’s case, the whining is due to her bad luck being born female.
The Trainwreck star informed Dax on how “it’s very difficult” to exist as a female entity. On air Schumer declared, “Being a woman sucks. It’s very difficult.” The comedian stated that the degree to which women are “sexualized all the time” is “crazy,” and that she feels really bad for “girls who are so hot” because guys just can’t handle it. Thanks, Amy. You really nailed that one.
Speaking for these hot women, Schumer stated, “You can’t have a conversation, everything skews sexual and you’re going to be treated differently.”
It would be wise if Amy Schumer would stop complaining. She should really consider herself lucky to be as paid, and as famous as she is. For someone who’s living out their Hollywood fantasy, trying to get people to buy into her own female suffering looks ridiculous.
She then reiterated the rape statistic, saying that the 1 in 6 figure is really “1 in 3 women.”
“So we’re not like, is this gonna happen? We’re like, when?” she stated.
“Like if I’m in New York and I take the subway — women, we run home at night. We’re afraid.” She continued, “We live in constant fear of violence. Just the feeling that we have all day, walking past a guy sitting alone at a bench. We just brace ourselves.”
She added that it’s something that “men just don’t understand.” Well if Schumer says it, it must a universal reality.
And even if Schumer had something to say, the fact that her crusade usually seems more about her appearing the martyr (remember that time she asked to be arrested?) than spreading awareness makes it harder to take her seriously. She gives honest women everywhere a bad name.
