Amy Schumer calls attention to sexism in Bachelor Nation.

Two days ago, Amy Schumer shared a video of herself sitting on her couch. She was watching an episode of The Bachelor. She warned her Instagram followers the video might contain a spoiler for anyone who wasn’t current with the Season.

Then, she asked the individual holding the camera to pan over to the screen and show the scar on Peter Weber’s forehead.

According to Schumer, the Peter Weber got the scar on his forehead about halfway through this Season of The Bachelor. She noted that if this had been a Season of The Bachelorette and not The Bachelor… The show would have come to a dead stop. More importantly, The Bachelorette certainly wouldn’t have continued with the star of the show rocking a massive gash on her forehead.

“Right?” Amy questioned looking for reassurance. She then explained that was the only reason she wanted to make a video before the short clip came to an end.

Her video clip has attracted a lot of attention from her followers.

As mentioned previously, it has been roughly 48 hours since the comedian posted the brief video clip on her profile. With just shy of 10 million followers, it isn’t too surprising that it has accumulated some numbers.

Her followers have watched the video just shy of 500,000 times. Nearly 500 of her followers also chimed in with their thoughts via the comments.
