Lots of women are hilarious. Men just don't notice it because they don't value that quality in women at all. If a woman is funny but not beautiful then they are simply invisible to men and if a woman is funny and beautiful, they are too distracted by her beauty to listen to a single word she says. Women also aren't encouraged to be funny because men are very sensitive and get their feelings hurt by women making as much as a light hearted joke at their expense. Just look at the absolute tardrage this thread has produced. Women know not to make men chimp out irl by cracking a joke in their presence that might make them lash out violently.
I suppose the question of female humour can be further broken down into women making men vs women laugh.
Women making other women laugh seems much more common, particularly in female-domimated/only spaces.
It would seem that men perceive women as less funny in general, fitting with pop culture and mainstream narratives that "women aren't funny".
Or the trope that female comics essentially survive off of awkward sex stories and period jokes.
