Amy Schumer Takes Responsibility For the ‘Harm’ Her Jokes Cause
Yes, you read that right. When asked how her on-stage persona interacts with her off-stage life, Schumer had this to say:

The comedian then elaborated further and said: It’s happened gradually, just educating myself and seeing the harm in joking around about things that are harmful and taking more responsibility and having it not just be about trying to sneak into this boys’ club.
