Amy Schumer, who has spent the past two seasons becoming one of
the funniest person alive, is also, inexplicably,
a feminist. (Christopher Hitchens is rolling over in his grave.) No, I know that term has been loaded lately, what with National Treasure Shailene Woodley's
refusal to be labeled as such, but it's true. In the past two months, Ms. Schumer has achieved the once-impossible task of
making an actually funny rape joke (by turning the issue of military assault into a first-player video game), as well as tackling equally unfunny issues like
Internet predators,
self-esteem and
Tyler Perry.
But Ms. Schumer is not above skewering her own gender as well, as with this brilliant bit about the disasters of bachelorette parties. Extra points for featuring Todd Barry!
