"I was once told that I couldn't do a show because the 'woman's spot' was

filled for the show, and that's a show with about seven, eight, or nine
comedians on it," comedian Emily McWinter told Glamour for a video
about the sexist and misogynistic culture that exists in comedy. "They
reserve one spot for a woman, and if there's two deserving candidates, one

just can't be on the show."

That's just one of many examples detailing how this boys' club results in
male performers' voices consistently being elevated over females'. Of
course, the road to fixing this issue is long, but one thing you can do right
now to help is give your time and money to female stand-up comedians.

Watching these 14 specials, below, is a great place to start.
