She recalled speaking to a class at her alma mater and screening her own videos alongside those of her male colleagues "and the professor was like, 'Why are they allowed to be straightforward, but you have to dress it up with comedy?' And I was like, 'Because people kind of get defensive whenever you are making a strong statement, so especially as a woman you have to frame it.' And it's a balancing act because you do want people to take what you say seriously but you also have to make it palatable."
