00:00:00.000 This woman, I was actually kind of proud of her, okay?
00:00:02.580 So there's a woman named Ebony Williams.
00:00:04.680 So Ebony Williams went stupid viral for saying that she wouldn't date a bus driver.
00:00:09.740 And that was below her.
00:00:11.240 Right.
00:00:11.480 Now, the reason that this is so crazy is not because she's a 22-year-old, bright-eyed and bushy-tailed young woman, attractive.
00:00:20.260 She's almost 40.
00:00:21.980 That bus driver can marry a woman and have a whole family.
00:00:25.320 Yeah.
00:00:25.700 But for her, that's pretty much off the table.
00:00:28.700 I mean, she might get lucky.
00:00:29.800 There's some people that cash out at 42 and have a happy ending, but that's the exception, not the rule.
00:00:35.100 Yeah.
00:00:35.820 And the thing about Ebony Williams, she's actually changed her tune.
00:00:42.440 I think she got red pilled.
00:00:43.980 Let's pull up the video.
00:00:45.340 Hey, Williams has the people going.
00:00:47.840 Again, she posted a video where she talked about women in the pursuit of degrees.
00:00:54.400 And she says that the women that are in the pursuit of degrees should also be in pursuit of wedding rings if that is what they choose.
00:01:00.780 Let's take a listen to the audio.
00:01:02.040 The reality is that our marriage and partnership market value is depreciating with every passing year.
00:01:09.680 No matter how good we look, no matter how fit we are, men are still seeing primarily our presumed dwindling fertility as a knock against us.
00:01:20.640 So here's my advice.
00:01:21.680 If you are a young black woman in college and you know in your heart and in your head that you want to prioritize family, I suggest that you simultaneously pursue that MRS degree right along with that BA or JD.
00:01:35.260 Because a handful of black college-aged men that actually do desire to get married soon and they do share that value system and family is a priority for them too.
00:01:45.280 Y'all, that is an incredibly small pool and it's shrinking as you get older.
00:01:49.440 And by the time you reach my age, 40, you will be faced with different choices relating to life.
00:01:55.500 So I actually thought that was awesome.
00:01:57.740 I was going to say she's doing something good for the world.
00:02:01.320 She's speaking truth.
00:02:02.500 She's acknowledging how things are.
00:02:05.800 Yeah.
00:02:06.300 And so it's a really interesting change of tune.
00:02:09.280 And I know all the guys will say it's not genuine, but I really think she got red-pilled when that clip happened.
00:02:14.360 You can't go that stupid viral for saying something idiotic.
00:02:18.620 Yeah.
00:02:19.000 And not have any.
00:02:21.800 Well, I don't want to say.
00:02:22.460 There's some truth in there.
00:02:23.560 Yeah.
00:02:24.180 There has to be.
00:02:25.000 Well, I don't know.
00:02:26.220 I think she.
00:02:28.740 You know, and that's my thing.
00:02:30.560 It's like, okay, everybody has L's.
00:02:32.720 I don't think anybody goes through life and takes no L's, makes no mistakes, always does the right thing.
00:02:38.380 Yeah.
00:02:38.540 But at least, like, we need to admit and talk about what is right and what is wrong.
00:02:44.520 Yeah.
00:02:44.880 Yeah.
00:02:45.820 I mean, she, she's saying it right there.
00:02:48.200 I mean, the fact that she obviously made the comment about the bus drivers, I think she's kind of, look, I think that's a very harsh thing to say, especially in her current state.
00:02:57.580 But the way she's talking there, yeah, I would argue that she's, she's probably done some kind of introspection, maybe something that happened that triggered this introspection.
00:03:05.600 But she's, she's speaking facts.
00:03:07.900 She's, she's telling women the right thing.
00:03:10.520 And, and that, as harsh as it may sound to women who don't tend to hear that, and it's not, it's not out there.
00:03:16.200 It's not popular, this kind of narrative.
00:03:17.640 It may seem harsh, but the truth is, that's actually a lot kinder than what the majority of women who are telling you, you know, go get your degree, go and get your job.
00:03:27.420 And then maybe when you're 38, after you've frozen your eggs and all that crap, maybe then you can find a guy.
00:03:33.540 And, and the other thing, too, is that she, I don't, I think what she's saying is more realistic.
00:03:43.240 Yes.
00:03:43.340 Like, and the thing is, people used to go to college, like their whole point was getting a job for their husband.
00:03:49.220 Yeah.
00:03:49.620 So they would become like a dental assistant if they wanted to marry a dentist, a law firm clerk.
00:03:55.160 Yeah.
00:03:55.720 I actually, I have a friend that did that.
00:03:57.240 She was in the military and she ended up marrying, I don't know, like she, she's, she's all about, she's like, you're de-stigmatized dating your boss.
00:04:08.280 I mean.
00:04:08.700 Swear, I swear.
00:04:09.320 She's like, she's like, I'm not saying every person should do this, but she literally was like, no, you, we got to de-stigmatize this.
00:04:15.380 I would advise young women to get a job in the field that they want to marry.
00:04:21.060 Well, at least then, you know, you're going to have at least one thing in, in common.
00:04:24.500 And I think it just shows our general shift in values as a society that we now sort of have this stigma of like, you know, don't date someone at work.
00:04:32.940 And, and don't date a divorce.
00:04:34.100 That's where everyone used to meet.
