Crass comedy is the most prominent because it's the most popular. Probably because it appeals to the widest audience. Female comedians are underrepresented in that type of comedy so that's one reason there aren't a lot of female comedians as well known as Amy Schumer. Also, she's managed to make a style of crass comedy that's relatable to women, which isn't something you see much.
P.S. I find her pretty funny myself.
