00:00:00.560 let's say we go back to the beginning of feminism with the suffrage movement
00:00:04.320 if you had to fight if your options in order to vote was to fight in the front line of combat
00:00:11.040 would you give it up during war times no nope say the question again please okay so if
00:00:20.080 in order to vote you had to be drafted and in the front lines not just like cooking in the army go
00:00:25.760 to war basically yeah go to war would you still want to vote no yeah i'd go to war forget that
00:00:30.240 no no i'll stay home i'll tell you that i'll stay home hell no i'm learning to cook any recipe
00:00:46.000 get me off the battlefield do you guys think the wage gap exists no
00:00:51.280 it does it does but it's only what i don't know eight nine percent but are you taking
00:01:00.080 into account the time the amount of time that women are out of work and the amount of women
00:01:04.480 that work part-time the majority of men like they they work full-time and they work for a lot longer
00:01:11.600 than us so the statistics are saying that there's a wage gap generally doesn't make any sense unless
00:01:16.320 you specify it down to women who are working full-time and men who are working full-time
00:01:20.880 because otherwise the statistics are skewed because obviously there's going to be a gap in
00:01:25.280 the wages if a woman is working part-time and a man is working full-time and say a woman takes time
00:01:30.480 out to go on maternity leave or whatever like i think that statistic is just silly like if you look
00:01:36.000 at men and women actually in the same job like my job for example guy same age as me both graduates
00:01:44.640 we earn the same i don't i don't think you ever walk into a job and the boss decides she's gonna
00:01:50.000 earn less because she's a girl i think maybe there might be a bit of bias when employing someone
00:01:56.480 do i want to hire say a 28 year old who's just gotten married versus say a 35 year old man if i
00:02:03.440 was the boss you know thinking financially i would probably pick the man because okay she's just got
00:02:08.800 married she's 28 she's not got much time left she's probably gonna have kids soon and you have to pay for
00:02:13.280 maternity yeah you have to pay for like thinking of that from an employer perspective i gotta pay for
00:02:18.720 you to not work for six months no i agree completely yeah and that's the thing women don't want to do
00:02:24.880 the most stressful jobs typically and i say this from like hiring people i've had situations where
00:02:30.080 i'll offer people roles here where they'll make like double triple the amount like but they'd have to
00:02:34.560 recruit and recruiting's hard and they don't typically want to do it and it's stressful because
00:02:39.760 we can't do the show if you don't do it but women i don't know they just don't want to do those jobs
00:02:45.120 exactly and like if you look at jobs like for example like labor jobs i mean i don't know a lot
00:02:51.200 about this um but you know the majority of women aren't in labor jobs and people love to scream oh this
00:02:57.680 is inequality and you know women aren't welcome in these industries no be real with yourself do you
00:03:02.880 actually want to be on a construction site and the majority of women don't want to be there so that's why
00:03:07.440 we're not there that means that's actually true you just contradicted yourself that means there
00:03:11.680 would be a gap in the working industry with man and woman a wage gap how would there be a wage gap
00:03:16.080 because if a woman got employed in the labor job same as a man she would still earn the same so there
00:03:20.400 wouldn't be a wage she wouldn't earn the same because she wouldn't be able to do the job anyway
00:03:23.600 she's not physically strong enough to do the job and the boss will see that so he he's not going to
00:03:27.840 pay someone full wage knowing that she can't even partake the full job anyway she's not doing the same
00:03:32.800 work as the guy anyway so it's not inequality she's not capable of doing what the man's capable
00:03:37.680 it would be really unfair to pay her the same and a man break his back every day and her get the same
00:03:43.440 money i'll be livid if my husband come home and there's a woman doing less and he's becoming
00:03:48.240 unbroken and like that's just not right yeah no fair enough i mean i just think like you usually hear
00:03:54.960 things of people saying like you know um i went on a podcast recently and we were discussing engineering
00:04:01.760 and i was on there with a girl who was talking about how she was in engineering and she was
00:04:06.320 really successful in it like she was actually like above the majority of men she was in quite a high
00:04:10.960 power position she she struggled in that position obviously because getting a group of men to listen
00:04:15.600 to you when you're in in an industry like that is going to be quite hard um but i just think like
00:04:22.800 women the majority of the times aren't in those jobs because they don't want to be like obviously
00:04:27.840 physical strength is a limitation of course but i i do believe that in this day and age if you want
00:04:35.600 to do something you can go and give it a go and i think if a woman wanted to be in the labor industry
00:04:43.440 she would and could and should go give it a go but i do agree that well i'll be honest i'm a i'm a
00:04:50.560 build fiber engineer so i'm the one that's picking up the ducks everything and pushing through cables
00:04:57.920 and everything bringing fiber to people's and do you earn the same as your male quality yeah i do i
00:05:02.240 earn exactly the same so i i want to ask a question would you guys work in an oil rig in alaska
00:05:08.800 for three hundred thousand dollars a year raise your hand if you would yeah i would
00:05:12.960 purely for curiosity and adventure but that's what i mean if you ask a group of guy that guys
00:05:23.520 that questions half of them are like i'm gone you know they're going for the peace like to get out
00:05:27.760 the crazy households that exist now like yes please
00:05:34.960 do you think women are more masculine today than 50 years ago definitely 100 and have you guys ever
00:05:41.600 struggled with your femininity 100 okay someone anyone who struggled with their feminine i would
00:05:54.560 say i struggle in a sense where i have no choice but to be masculine to fend for myself because there
00:05:59.520 isn't really any man providing for me in that sense so i'm forced to actually be masculine and then
00:06:05.280 you know pay for my rent the car the everything else i have to pay for if i had the choice i would
00:06:10.640 choose to drop that tomorrow and actually just have a guy do all of that are men forced to be
00:06:14.800 feminine when they're single fathers um yeah because there's no woman in the home not necessarily they
00:06:20.240 can go find a female to replace that i feel like they would have to tap into certain feminine roles
00:06:25.760 i wouldn't say they have to be feminine but they might have to um do something that they wouldn't have
00:06:30.880 to do like for example if they have a like for example i lived with my dad for a period of time my mom
00:06:35.120 wasn't in the home he had to tell me about which was very awkward monthly your your period yeah to
00:06:40.960 have that conversation with me whereas if a woman was in the house right but does he start acting like
00:06:45.440 a girl like is he like hi no definitely no definitely how you doing he's definitely not be doing that but
00:06:53.360 it's like i'm in my feminine today no no but he had he had to step into a feminine role right but he was
00:06:58.720 still very masculine right but i feel like how can i but i think that's how guys hear it when we when
00:07:03.840 we say we have to be masculine yeah because there's no masculine because there's not a guy around or we
00:07:09.200 have to do masculine things i feel like for me when i had to was in masculine energy is when i was in a
00:07:13.520 relationship where the man wasn't leading so i wasn't able to be feminine he was allowing me to make
00:07:19.840 this like i don't i like making decisions but it was a thing of where i was making all of the decisions
00:07:25.600 like oh it's fine no you have the last saying it was like okay like oh you do this you do that i
00:07:31.040 was in a masculine energy because the man wasn't operating in the masculine energy yeah so i was
00:07:35.920 basically like struggling and fighting every single day for them well why are you picking feminine men
00:07:41.760 do you know well why am i pick i was very young when i met him i was 18 so i didn't know about
00:07:46.720 feminine masculine energy you're young oh he looks good or he's nice and you just go with the flow so
00:07:52.960 i didn't know that then it wasn't until seven years have gone past wait okay so you didn't
00:07:57.040 notice it for seven years i noticed it but i was like ignoring it because i was like oh this is who
00:08:02.000 i love i want to be with and you ignore when you're in love you're blinded so for seven years you were
00:08:06.880 masculine masculine yeah so how how did you stop being masculine because i'd imagine like if you do
00:08:12.640 something for seven years how do you just break that habit to be honest with you i'm still in therapy
00:08:17.600 i'm still healing and learning i haven't stopped being masculine i'm learning how to not be masculine
00:08:22.880 so i'm single at the moment because i've had to learn that i basically stopped by not being that
00:08:27.760 person anymore and realizing that oh my gosh i was operating in masculine energy because they
00:08:32.160 wasn't and it wasn't even their fault it's just something that they couldn't do it wasn't within
00:08:36.160 them so now i'm in a learning process like okay i don't want to be masculine anymore i want to be
00:08:41.280 feminine i want to be soft but still i'm not a type of soft person that just sit at home no i like to
00:08:46.480 work i like to earn but i want to be able to be for a man to look at me and be like this is a woman
00:08:52.080 she's not trying to be strong like aggressive i don't want to be like that but yeah so i'm still
00:08:57.040 in the process of so for the single fathers what actually stops the guy from getting a replacement
00:09:02.880 woman
00:09:03.600 you
00:09:08.560 you
00:09:10.560 you
