Media personality, MzGee, has sparked conversations about intra-gender support and respect, urging deeper reflection on the contradictions in how women treat one another, particularly in professional settings.
In a heartfelt reflection, MzGee recounted an early experience in her career where her relentless pursuit of exclusive stories was downplayed by a colleague simply because she had no children.
“I used to hop. Wherever there was an event, you’d find me there. Even if you didn’t invite me, I’d show up because I wanted to get exclusives. One day, a colleague said, ‘Gee, you don’t have a child, so you’re all over the place. If you had a child, you wouldn’t have had the time to be roaming and scouting for news’.”

For MzGee, that remark wasn’t just a passing comment, it was a stark reminder of the subtle ways women undermine one another, especially in professional environments.
“Someone will say it’s not a big deal, but it is a big deal,” she stressed. “Let’s assume that at the time the comment was made, I was struggling to have a child. How would it have felt?”
She lamented the irony of such behavior when some of these same women go on to make bold declarations about women’s empowerment on days like International Women’s Day.
The broadcaster also touched on body shaming, another issue she said often originates from women.
“I am a victim of body shaming, and it mainly came from women. I even had to write on my Facebook page that the rate at which women confidently body shame is alarming. It gives men the pleasure to do same.”

According to MzGee, while she finds joy in seeing women succeed, she believes that the deep-seated habit of tearing each other down must be addressed with urgency.
“You’ll see people who cannot go a day without makeup come and say, ‘look at her face without makeup’… and it’s mostly women writing those ill, nasty comments. It’s about time we changed and treated and respected our fellow woman and be gracious to our fellow woman. If we did this, there is no way a man would have the effrontery to come and say rubbish and nonsense to a woman.”

Body shaming isn’t just about appearance—it’s about power. When women criticize other women’s bodies, they’re reinforcing the same oppressive beauty standards that have long been used to diminish and distract.
Sometimes women unconsciously adopt the behaviors of the dominant culture just to survive. And that culture often doesn’t reward sisterhood.
This is not about blame—it’s about cultivating self-awareness and community. When women support each other meaningfully and consistently, the ripple effects are transformative.
MzGee Slams Vulgar Celebrities
The media personality expressed dismay over the way some artists and celebrities speak about women, using vulgar language with no regard for dignity or decency.
After sharing her personal experiences with sabotage and body shaming from fellow women, she turned her attention to what she said is an equally troubling issue: the casual disrespect of women by public figures, particularly within the entertainment industry.
“Your favorite artist and celebrity… I may like their songs and whatever, but just when they begin to have the guts to insult a woman’s private part, people’s mothers’ private parts, they’ve lost all the respect because it shows you don’t respect yourself. I just pity them because I feel they were not brought up well.”

Her concern didn’t stop at the men spewing the insults. She also questioned the silence and sometimes complicity of the women who continue to endorse, support, or even engage with such individuals.
MzGee’s comments follow a broader reflection on how women often endure harmful treatment, not just from men but from each other.
