23 Times Amy Schumer Got Way Too Real About Being A Woman

    "It takes me 90 minutes to look this mediocre. Ninety minutes!"

    1. When she pointed out that society's expectations for women are not only unrealistic, but they're also bullshit.

    2. When she took the accepted turn of phrase, and flipped it for female empowerment.

    3. When she pointed out the ridiculous standards set for women.

    4. Like the crazy "diets" we're expected to go on to stay "healthy".

    5. When she was completely honest about the shit women have to go through in the dating world.

    6. Like sexting, which is definitely just a social experiment that nobody really understands.

    7. And the ridiculous "tips" we get from certain magazines.

    8. Not to mention the headlines constantly attacking women for how we look and telling us that we need to change.

    9. When she pointed out the injustice of having phenomenally beautiful celebrities staring out from our magazine covers.

    10. Because nobody can really be bothered to spend that long making themselves look the way everyone else wants them to.

    11. When she drew attention to comedy's double standards when it comes to talking about sex.

    12. Because, shock horror: It's TOTALLY NORMAL for women to enjoy having sex.

    13. And, surprisingly, not everything is about ~men~.

    14. In fact, when she wrote an entire movie about how it's totally fine for women to enjoy having sex.

    15. And refused to answer this interviewer's sexist question, which he definitely wouldn't have asked of a man.

    16. When she completely tore apart the ridiculous manic pixie dream girl narrative.

    17. Or – even worse – the ~cool girl~.

    18. When she pointed out that we're allowed to feel good about ourselves without a boy band telling us to first.

    19. Because, let's be honest, that's probably not exactly what they mean anyway.

    20. When she had the perfect response to the one question female comedians get asked more than any other.

    21. And her sketch show pointed out Hollywood's horrible double standards when actresses reach their "last fuckable day".

    22. Because Amy Schumer knows that being a woman is hard.

    23. But at the end of the day, there's nothing better than being a totally boss bitch.
