And I hate saying this because this is so unfeminist of me.

I never really noticed that I was different, if that makes any sense.

I never was like, I'm a female comic and this sucks and I'm not being taken seriously.

I look back and there's so many instances where that was taking place, but I really didn't notice it.

I was just like,

Because to me, the best, my favorite comedians were female comics.

So I thought it was always like a cooler thing to be.

And I never felt, you know, it was almost safer because I, maybe I noticed that men were always getting things.

So when I didn't get things, I wouldn't take it personally.

I was like, it's just a thing beyond my control because only one woman can get this roast.

And so if I'm not getting a roast, there's, you know, there's only one woman per roast.

There's maybe, you know, they're giving out specials that year or, you know, stand up specials.

It would be like two women get them.

And I know which two those girls are in the class above me.

They deserve it more than me.

But it's like that's just the way it was.

And so it was easier for me to be like, that's why I didn't get it, because there's not enough spots, not because I'm not good enough.

And so, you know, and then I look back on and now I think I notice it more where like, you know,

A comedian will come into a show that has like, you know, seven comics on the lineup and there's like some famous guy dropping in.

It's called dropping and he just drops on wherever he wants because he's famous enough that like he bumps anyone.
