"And then also I think it's harder for women because comedy is so opposite of being ladylike"

This quote by Wanda Sykes talks to the problem that women face in the funny market. Females are frequently expected to be ladylike and to comply with certain social norms. However, comedy often involves pressing limits and making jokes that are not necessarily considered ladylike. This can be an obstacle for ladies, as they are expected to be both amusing and ladylike. This quote highlights the double standard that ladies face in the comedy industry, and how they should often select in between being funny and being ladylike. It also talks to the need for more approval of females in funny, and for society to acknowledge that women can be both amusing and ladylike.
