Once it's been done, it's no longer brave or radical. 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.

If you took my comment as "earnestly portraying Amy Schumer as someone smashing gender roles" then I think you're projecting a lot.
I was just pointing out that it's not out of the blue for her to tackle something unpopular. Her "12 Angry Men" sketch comes to mind.
