Beneath all the irony in her show, her message is towards helping women. For females to be taken seriously, they need to address the issue seriously.
One thing women should not take too seriously is sex robots. This is because women have worried that men will replace them for these plastic dolls, or even develop unrealistic standards for women’s appearance and behavior. Her point is evident as Whitney Cummings robot doll awkwardly stands next to her as she addresses the audience.
