    I feel like some people are missing the point that Katie Heaney is making. If you haven’t noticed, there seems to be a movement of “funny girls” whose brand of humor consists entirely of being clumsy, yet oh-so-endearing. These shows/movies don’t have women who say clever things or seem to really think very much at all. We’re supposed to be amused because they drop plates and forget to turn their shirts right side out - just like us! It’s pretty cheap “humor” and it doesn’t do anything to advance the concept that women can be funny. As in, funny enough to make someone laugh, not just make them feel sorry for you. Nobody is suggesting that these women be perfect. Personally I just would like to see a show with women who have actual flaws and fears, not the cop-out “awkward” or “adorkable” affectations we seem to see over and over.
