About this Quote

This quote by Amy Poehler speaks to the gender distinctions in how individuals tease themselves and others. She recommends that when in school, men are most likely to tease other people, while ladies are more likely to tease themselves. This might be due to the fact that women are typically interacted socially to be more self-deprecating and to put others before themselves. It might also be due to the reality that women are typically taught to be more aware of how their words and actions affect others, and so they are more likely to make fun of themselves than to tease others. This quote talks to the importance of comprehending the differences between males and females, and how those distinctions can impact the method we communicate with each other.
