I thought the amusing thing was that the writer started out seeming to
belittle the whole idea of gender issues in comedy - but by the end was
arguing that women are far too sensible to take part in these unfunny
shows - which sounds a bit like the arguments she was rubbishing earlier.

She's trying to be provocative of course, it has to be seen in that
context.
