00:00:00.000 What's her name was Hillary Clinton? She didn't want to be president because she didn't want to get killed.
00:00:05.000 She was trashed.
00:00:07.000 Regardless of the political standing, the point that I'm trying to make is you're saying you're saying that, you know, there's no male empowerment.
00:00:16.000 But again, well, if for your country, you're from the U.S.
00:00:21.000 You've never had a female. You've never had a female president.
00:00:24.000 What do you tell a young girl who says, I want to be president, despite all the difficulties that they may be?
00:00:29.000 I would say I would say do it. There's nothing. There's I would say I would say I would say let me finish.
00:00:35.000 I would say there is nothing stopping you. Go do it.
00:00:38.000 If she wants to go do it, go do it. You're empowering her.
00:00:42.000 So why are you white? So so why do you feel why do you feel that's needed?
00:00:45.000 Why do you need to tell her that she could go do it? Go ahead.
00:00:47.000 I would tell a guy if he wants to be president, go do it. I would.
00:00:50.000 I'm I'm for equality, real equality.
00:00:53.000 Be completely honest with yourself.
00:00:55.000 Be completely honest with yourself.
00:00:56.000 Who do you think would be more likely to get it, regardless of their political standing or ideologies?
00:01:00.000 I think I and you're going to try to interrupt me here.
00:01:04.000 So let me you're going to let me finish this sentence.
00:01:06.000 I think the man would. But it's only because he would want to.
00:01:09.000 I think most women, I think most women at a certain age, they have a hard time retaining women
00:01:14.000 because they want and choose to have a children and a family.
00:01:18.000 So so so I would say if I had to guess, I would guess the man would be more likely to actually do it.
00:01:25.000 Like, for example, I know people that hire a high end law firms.
00:01:30.000 And after 35 women, you can't pay them to stay because they say, fuck this, fuck a career.
00:01:37.000 None of this matters. I want to go start a family.
00:01:39.000 And I think that's something innate in women that you can't get rid of.
00:01:43.000 No matter how much feminism tries to say we don't have that, like most women want to be mothers.
00:01:47.000 So in other words, you agree with the disparity between the genders because women are innate mothers and things like that.
00:01:57.000 So in other words, OK, you believe the man would do it more, would most likely do it,
00:02:02.000 because what if the woman believes strongly that they can do it?
00:02:05.000 What if they get to that age and says, I don't want to have kids, I don't want a family and I can do it.
00:02:09.000 So again, you've kind of gone ahead and done what most political male leaders do and all these, like you're projecting your own low key misogynistic ideas as well.
00:02:23.000 I don't think it's misogynistic to say women should do what they want to do.
00:02:27.000 There are no laws stopping you. You can do whatever you want.
00:02:31.000 You can do whatever you want to do.
00:02:33.000 I think I think that if women want to do something, they can do it.
00:02:37.000 But in two groups, you're never going to have it 50-50.
00:02:41.000 Well, you don't think we should fight for it? We shouldn't fight for 50-50?
00:02:43.000 Only if they want it to be.
00:02:45.000 But women, but like that's the thing, like you only care about 50-50 when it doesn't benefit you.
00:02:49.000 You don't care about men doing hard jobs, like men are more likely to die in the workplace.
00:02:53.000 But you don't care about that. All you care about is the positions of power.
00:02:56.000 Like all you look at is, and it's true because I'm telling you based on what you've said.
00:03:01.000 That what? Can you repeat the point? No, no, no, can you please repeat the point?
00:03:07.000 I feel, you, I feel, pardon?
00:03:08.000 Can she please repeat the point?
00:03:09.000 Yeah, she wants to know what you just said.
00:03:10.000 So what's the point that you were making?
00:03:11.000 I'm saying that you don't care when equality doesn't benefit you.
00:03:15.000 So I'm saying, I'm saying, I'm saying like men make the majority of workplace deaths.
00:03:19.000 Like men do harder jobs.
00:03:21.000 And so the only positions you're talking about is these small positions of power.
00:03:25.000 That's it, presidents. Like you don't talk about any of the hard jobs.
00:03:28.000 And that's what I'm saying.
00:03:29.000 When you make things like that equal or representative of everyone, it can reflect down the chain.
00:03:38.000 If our leaders did not lead and give an example, then it wouldn't be reflected or seen lower down.
00:03:44.000 If our parents did not give us a good example of how to live life, then the kids wouldn't have that.
00:03:50.000 So you can't go to somewhere starting, you can't, you can't expect.
00:03:54.000 I think that's an excuse. That's an excuse.
00:03:56.000 Like, honestly, yeah, yeah. Because I'm telling you, I'm telling you, that's what I'm saying.
00:03:59.000 Like, that's an excuse, honestly, because I've been in male dominated fields my whole life.
00:04:04.000 It doesn't stop me. I don't give a shit of who I see up there.
00:04:06.000 And like, and I'm saying, I'm saying, but this is like a victim mentality.
00:04:10.000 Like, oh, poor me. I don't, poor me. I don't see women doing a job. Like, who cares?
00:04:15.000 Go do it. There's no, there's nothing stopping you. Go do it. Go do it.
00:04:19.000 If you want to be president, go do it. And that's, that's what I'm saying.
00:04:23.000 So we should go and you're, so you're encouraging us to do it, but you're also against us being encouraged to do it.
00:04:27.000 If you want to. No, no, I'm saying if you want to do it, go do it.
00:04:30.000 You're encouraging us to do it, but then you're also against us being encouraged to do it. It doesn't make sense.
00:04:36.000 I'm against quotas. I'm against legal policies. I'm against, I'm against, I'm against, no, no, no, I'm against legal policies that say you must hire someone based on, based on, you gotta let me, based on race or, or gender.
00:04:51.000 I think that's sexist and racist. I am, I am for people doing what they want to do.
00:04:56.000 Yeah. Well, guess what? The world we live in is not fair. Okay. Um, for example, as I said, I want to be an architect.
00:05:03.000 The field was predominantly filled with male. So it was my field. Men. So my, my field is.
00:05:09.000 I understand. Men. So guess what? Without, as what, what my friend said, without having feminists around, without pushing the agenda that women should be allowed.
00:05:18.000 False, false, false. Without women pushing. I let you speak. Let me speak.
00:05:23.000 Without women like you pushing the agenda that women should have the space and should have the, the, the, the, the, the, to be comfortable.
00:05:33.000 To access to any field without having that, I wouldn't be here. I wouldn't even be able to come to school here. Let's be real. So you saying.
00:05:42.000 I would, I would be in the same place without feminists. I would be in the same place.
00:05:46.000 I'm black. Well, guess what? Without these quotas, without the, especially ever since the black lives matter act and movement happened.
00:05:54.000 These quotas have been popping up, especially to support black people and black women.
00:05:59.000 Sometimes it's, it's not just to encourage 50 50. It's to allow people to now see the abilities behind the people who they've been shutting out.
00:06:08.000 Yeah. Because when you shut out a group of people or you've not allowed them to succeed in an effort.
00:06:13.000 How are women shut out when we have women's empowerment, but we don't have men's empowerment?
00:06:17.000 Pardon? How are women shut out if we have women's empowerment? We're not, we're not shut out.
00:06:21.000 One minute. This is recent. No, it's not. It's been, it's been, it's incorrect. It's been here since the sixteenth.
00:06:26.000 Yes. And that is recent time compared to hundreds of years of men.
00:06:29.000 That has nothing to do, but, but like I'm 25. Like, what is it? That's been, as far as I've been alive, why am I complaining about something that happened before I was even born?
00:06:39.000 All I can say to you, all I can say to you is I appreciate you standing here and being willing to ask questions and share your opinion and to try and like educate me.
00:06:49.000 But I think you also don't, I'm being receptive of your ideas. I think you should be a bit more respectful, receptive of mine.
00:06:55.000 Because of course you, you definitely, I hate saying this to people, but I have to say it to you, you've lived a privileged life.
00:07:03.000 So have you. No, I haven't.
00:07:05.000 You were born in the West.
00:07:07.000 I can say, I can say, in some aspects of my life.
00:07:11.000 You live in England. People would kill to live here.
00:07:14.000 In some aspects of my life, I have been.
00:07:16.000 You could have been born during the plague.
00:07:18.000 But let me, let me just tell you this.
00:07:20.000 You've been, you've lived a more privileged life than I have.
00:07:23.000 True, probably.
00:07:24.000 And I won't, I won't say, because I don't know your life experiences and you don't know mine.
00:07:29.000 So I wouldn't be, but what I can say is that if we both walked into a store right now, you wouldn't be followed around.
00:07:35.000 I would, and I have been.
00:07:37.000 And if we both applied to a job right now, you would get it and I wouldn't.
00:07:41.000 Unless maybe they had a quota, you don't know.
00:07:43.000 If a man came and was to do the same thing, he would get the job and you wouldn't.
00:07:47.000 And if I was-
00:07:48.000 That's not true.
00:07:49.000 That's not true.
00:07:50.000 That's not true.
00:07:51.000 That's not true.
00:07:52.000 That is not true.
00:07:53.000 That is not true.
00:07:54.000 That is not, that is not-
00:07:55.000 I look at, look at, look at, look at, look at.
00:07:57.000 Look at, look at, look at.
00:07:58.000 That, that's not true.
00:07:59.000 Because again, again, it's not true because I have applied to jobs that are male dominated.
00:08:06.800 I've gotten all of them.
00:08:07.800 I have all.
00:08:08.800 That's not an excuse.
00:08:09.800 Hold on.
00:08:10.800 You've been treated because you are qualified to have these healthy, but not because you
00:08:14.500 are a woman.
00:08:15.500 I have paid for jobs now.
00:08:17.000 But you're looking.
00:08:18.000 Okay.
00:08:19.000 You're looking at .
00:08:20.000 Okay.
00:08:21.000 Guys, guys, we've been going back and forth for a while.
00:08:23.860 I just think we're good.
00:08:24.860 Leave it.
00:08:25.860 You're trying to respect your .
00:08:26.860 Yeah.
00:08:27.860 Okay.
00:08:28.860 Okay.
00:08:29.860 Okay.
00:08:30.860 Okay.
00:08:31.860 She's got her concept.
