I agree. Humor is more of a male trait, which is why there are fewer female comedians, and they are usually lesbians or mannish.
My other thought is that most actresses won’t take buffoonish roles. They would rather be sex symbols than the next Carol Burnett or Ellen Degeneres.
GREAT point - and succinct! (Unlike mine! Ha!)
On a personal note - I always enjoy reading your comments here on FR, Dingo. Glad to finally interchange with you; I look up to all of the leaders on here.
