Amy Schumer tells it like it is.

In a CBS News profile on July 5, Schumer broke down the problem with the way young men and women are taught about sex.

"Sex is just explained incorrectly to us," she said. "It's like everything -- magazines, sitcoms. Men 'love' sex, and women just deal with it."

The comedian, whose film "Trainwreck" comes out on July 17, has never been shy about identifying as a feminist and filtering her ideas about sex through a feminist lens. "It's so crazy that people don't identify as feminists," Schumer told CBS. "I think it's only people that don't know the definition."

She also delved into more serious issues, like the way she uses comedy on her show, "Inside Amy Schumer," to raise awareness about rape culture: "Maybe a girl will see this that this happened to and she'll feel less alone," Schumer said. "Maybe a guy sees it and think, 'Oh that joke where she said, It's not cool if the girl was sleeping, and it's not cool if I film it' -- you know, maybe that'll get in there."
