10 - Funny Women Terrify Men?

from Yu Up? with Rachel Yu · host Rachel Yu

Being a funny woman should be hot, but somehow it’s a dating liability. Rachel and Rania dig into why straight men crumble the second a woman is funnier than they are. They talk insecure masculinity, comedy power dynamics, why men gain desirability from humor while women lose it, and why female comics feel pressured to dress down just to be taken seriously.They break down the open-mic ecosystem, ugly male comics with supermodel girlfriends, and why women are still expected to laugh at men’s jokes even when they’re painfully unfunny. The episode spirals into queer f*ckboy confessions, big-dick energy hypotheticals and childhood weirdness. This episode is chaotic, honest, and way too relatable especially if you are a woman in the show biz.--Follow the host Rachel Yu on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, and ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow Rania Hannan on InstagramFollow the show on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ and ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok⁠
