I'm lucky. I grew up in a family of funny women. Not comedians (who are often either looking for a kind of love that they feel has been denied to them or looking for a way to avoid being picked on). While what those people do to steady their lives might seem to be normal for a comedian (and it is), we should ask ourselves why the majority of them are men. Also, not look at this as men being strong and witty but men being in trouble and avoiding. And we laugh at this?
We should also think about what this means for someone female and funny. What it generally means is that you are going to be overlooked for your talent. I am a member of a forum that is very female-orientated and at least 90% of the members are female. They are very, very, very funny indeed. While men would use those qualities to attract a woman, the difference in the sexes is that women use it to amuse themselves and each other, not to pick up men. If you don't think women are funny, it's because they're not being funny for you. Not because they're not funny. There is a difference.
Is it normal I don't think females should be comedians
