The well-known Nigerian comedian Taooma has revealed how a traffic offender treated her differently due to her gender.
The skit creator lamented the difficulties women face in real life due to their gender while sharing her experience on Twitter. She described an encounter with a driver who made fun of her despite the fact that she was driving her own car.
She explained that the driver had instructed her to leave her father’s car at home before speaking to him during their altercation.
The content creator admitted that she has frequently experienced the same thing in both her workplace and society at large.
She said that, “Being a woman can be tough sometimes. In your work space, you’re looked down upon. In 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.”
However, a netizen, @Vawul3nse told the comedian that the traffic offender might have treated her the way he did because of her size and not necessarily because she is a woman.
The tweep said: “That wasn’t about you being a woman, it was probably about you being ‘small’ size. You women shouldn’t be victimizing yourselves always”
Responding, Taooma wrote, “Lol, small size? Cos he saw my whole body from the car Yh? If I start to list all the experiences, we’ll be here till night. I’m spitting the reality of things, you said I’m victimizing myself. Stop jare.”
