She cried out about going through similar things at her place of work and in society in general.

The comedian wrote:

"Being a woman can be tough sometimes. In your work space, you’re looked down upon. In the society, you’re not as respected. Last time out, a traffic offender I challenged on the road told me to “drop my daddy’s car” before I can talk to him."

themarytakon:

"Being a petite woman is actually another thing we have to talk about. It’s the way even a fellow woman feels she can talk to/treat you just because she has gigantic b**bs/bum and you don’t - even when she’s younger and should be taking life lesson notes from you. I won’t talk about the little boys who step up to you because they are taller and recently hit the gym. Leaves you with no choice but to have a nasty attitude; just to maintain your sanity."

"When a woman tries to express herself about simple everyday issues, illiterates on social media tag it as being a feminist. Go and educate yourselves!"

Damirez234:

"Why you self no gree add weight? "

etimajonathan:

"Why is it that immediately a woman complains of ill treatment especially from a man, she gets labelled "feminist"? Is feminism some sort of evil tag that y'all are using to abuse someone now? Like...are we supposed to feel bad that you refer to us a people advocating the Rights of women? Interesting!"
