I think we're just too busy laughing at someone earnestly portraying Amy Schumer as someone smashing gender roles.
Once it's been done, it's no longer brave or radical which is basically the root of your defence. I apologize for taking it a step further, I figured you could connect the dots. She's just taking something else someone else did like she does for the rest of her act. She attracts a simple crowd because she's a simple comedian. They didn't want to hear political stuff because she does easy, low brow, vagina jokes. So she got booed.
