"It is easy for me to love myself, but for ladies to do it is another question altogether"
About this Quote
Then comes the pivot: “but for ladies to do it is another question altogether.” On the surface, it’s mock-chivalry, a wink toward women’s “mysterious” psychology. Underneath, it’s a sly indictment of the culture that makes women’s self-acceptance feel like a controversy rather than a baseline. Men are socialized to take up space by default; women are trained to audit themselves for flaws, to treat confidence as arrogance and comfort as complacency. Vegas frames that imbalance as an “altogether” different problem, and the phrasing matters: it suggests structural difficulty, not personal failure.
The line also satirizes how men sometimes center themselves even in feminist-adjacent observations. He starts with “me,” performs confidence, then gestures toward women’s burdens. That’s the trick: he’s both critiquing misogynistic standards and parodying the male habit of making every serious point arrive via his own ego. The comedy is the cover; the discomfort is the message.
