There is a distinction to be made.
What does it mean to be funny? I don't dwell on why one is funny.
Taking the commonly used meaning, then making fun of others means being funny, the rest are personal scruples.
Another issue is that since making fun of others may not be an example of social status (sometimes it is), then it would not be advisable to try to be funny in this way (with women).
When does being funny work with women? When it signals nonchalance
Which means: don't be a jester, don't try to be forcibly funny
