00:00:00.040 In today's polarized world, is feminism dead? 1.00
00:00:04.260 I saw your hand.
00:00:05.620 I think that depends on the definition of feminism. 1.00
00:00:07.940 I strongly think that feminism is more of an action than an identity. 0.98
00:00:12.540 I would say it's uplifting all women, in which case it's very alive.
00:00:15.900 At the same time, if we do follow that definition,
00:00:19.680 feminism has splintered off into so many different areas 1.00
00:00:23.200 that you can look at people like Sheryl Sandberg
00:00:26.060 who say you should just get another nanny if you feel oppressed. 1.00
00:00:29.040 And if we're talking about that kind of feminism, yeah, it's pretty dead. 1.00
00:00:34.220 Yeah, I mean, as long as the human race exists, feminism will never be dead. 1.00
00:00:39.040 There's something that we're going to have to strive and work towards
00:00:41.940 to make sure that there's equality.
00:00:45.640 So feminism is not dead. 1.00
00:00:47.560 I don't know that it can die.
00:00:48.920 As long as there's power and oppression, there will be people fighting for equity.
00:00:53.820 And until that somehow goes away, feminism is alive and well. 1.00
00:00:58.240 I think feminism isn't actually about equality. 1.00
00:01:01.080 It's about equality when it benefits us.
00:01:03.720 I think feminism is really about women wanting special privileges and treatment 1.00
00:01:08.800 at the expense of men often.
00:01:12.220 And I think it's alive and well, sadly.
00:01:13.940 I think feminism is also alive and well. 0.99
00:01:20.460 There are different kinds of feminism, right? 1.00
00:01:22.860 Like, that is obvious.
00:01:25.360 And I, for me, as a womanist, as a black feminist, right,
00:01:30.000 as someone who's really thinking about human rights, dignity, right, equity, right,
00:01:35.320 as long as that's not, that need isn't met, we're still going to keep fighting.
00:01:41.200 I'd say it's alive and well.
00:01:42.540 I'd say that it's also very nuanced.
00:01:44.280 And I think what it looks like is going to differ depending on where you are in the world.
00:01:47.660 For me, I just see it as a lens, which isn't necessarily antagonistic or protagonistic.
00:01:54.800 It's just a useful tool.
00:01:56.240 Similar to what Pearl just said, I find that a lot of feminist ideology and thought today 1.00
00:02:01.640 feels more of like a supremacist movement rather than something that is supposed to be advancing
00:02:06.260 the goals of equality.
00:02:08.200 I don't think that we can really term what's going on as feminism because it looks so different 1.00
00:02:13.320 to, I think, the earlier feminist movement.
00:02:16.700 So in that way, I would say it's taken its last breaths of life.
00:02:20.960 It's dying.
00:02:22.680 Yeah, I definitely think it's getting more and more radicalized.
00:02:26.240 For sure.
00:02:26.660 So it's definitely still alive.
00:02:28.880 I think I'll preface and say that I don't know so much about modern Western feminism. 0.95
00:02:34.580 And there might be a lot of terms that I don't know, like political jargon and stuff.
00:02:40.880 But I believe in the advancement of women, whoever considers themselves a woman.
00:02:46.500 I think there's a deficiency in society.
00:02:49.140 So it's deeply rooted that feminism has always existed. 1.00
00:02:54.120 I think America's a little obsessed with themselves.
00:02:55.940 And it's like always feminism is rooted in America. 1.00
00:02:58.740 And like, oh, white women started it. 1.00
00:03:00.860 And it's kind of offensive because for thousands of years, women have been dying for their rights. 1.00
00:03:07.160 I think as a black woman specifically, when you talk about feminism, yeah, the mainstream 0.99
00:03:12.120 first thing you think about is a certain type of feminism that tends to exclude still, 1.00
00:03:17.360 even today, even with intersectional feminism, exclude African-American women. 0.99
00:03:21.960 And it's always kind of done that.
00:03:24.200 And also upper middle class white women has predominantly been the face of what we quote 1.00
00:03:28.960 unquote consider feminism. 1.00
00:03:30.180 I think feminism is attempting to say, okay, the first thing we agree on is that there 1.00
00:03:35.800 are barriers and friction to what I need and what I want based on the fact that I'm a woman.
00:03:39.860 What it ignores is that, and what privilege is, is that you may not have to think that being
00:03:45.300 a woman and being a black woman and being a black woman who has a disability, for example,
00:03:50.140 impacts you further.
00:03:51.120 You have more barriers, you have more friction, you are less able to get what you want.
00:03:56.260 You're undervalued in a way that's like, okay, well, you know, that's life.
00:04:01.820 That's what I mean by equity and that we're able to, without friction, all get the same needs met.
00:04:07.980 Yeah.
00:04:08.600 Yep.
00:04:09.540 Yeah, see, I disagree with that.
00:04:10.700 I think life is easier if you're a girl, actually.
00:04:13.560 I think there's a lot of benefits that men don't have.
00:04:16.540 I'm not going to speak anything to race.
00:04:18.860 I'm just talking about gender, specifically.
00:04:21.540 It's usually like an excuse.
00:04:22.860 Like, honestly, I think as a girl, you have equal opportunity in the world.
00:04:25.560 I think there's benefits.
00:04:26.460 Like, for example, we have quotas for women in specific jobs that are given to us that 0.94
00:04:30.780 aren't given to men.
00:04:31.520 So, yeah, I would say it's easier being a girl.
00:04:33.860 Just from the viewpoint over here, though, it seems there's a lot of pretty privilege in
00:04:37.980 what you're saying and that you're white and you present.
00:04:40.380 Do you think I'm pretty?
00:04:41.340 Thank you.
00:04:41.700 I think that you present in a way that beauty standards have accepted.
00:04:45.640 I think.
00:04:45.940 They call me ugly on the internet all the time. 0.83
00:04:48.820 They be roasting me daily, I swear to God. 0.86
00:04:51.240 I don't mean to say I think you're gorge.
00:04:53.880 I just mean that there are a certain value that we give to certain bodies.
00:04:58.220 I mean, let's also dig into why these quotas exist and why these, what you're calling privileges
00:05:02.960 exist.
00:05:03.180 Because we want special treatment.
00:05:04.340 No, but it's because there have historically and presently in most jobs been fewer women 1.00
00:05:08.940 because of sexism.
00:05:10.880 How is it sexism when we have no barriers today?
00:05:14.240 So we can take what we want to put.
00:05:15.040 No barriers.
00:05:16.040 It doesn't have barriers.
00:05:17.040 Women don't have barriers? 1.00
00:05:18.040 Women, yeah. 1.00
00:05:19.040 What's stopping you?
00:05:20.040 We have no barriers.
00:05:21.040 You can do whatever you want.
00:05:22.040 What's stopping you?
00:05:23.040 I can or you can.
00:05:24.040 What's stopping you?
00:05:25.040 As a woman.
00:05:26.040 As a woman.
00:05:27.040 As a woman.
00:05:28.040 That ignores a lot that I'm a woman with a disability.
00:05:30.040 So there's a lot stopping me that you don't have to think about.
00:05:33.040 Well, as I said before, I'm speaking about women. 0.61
00:05:35.040 I'm not, I'm not.
00:05:36.040 You're speaking as, you're speaking for yourself.
00:05:38.040 You're speaking as an able-bodied woman.
00:05:39.040 As an able-bodied woman.
00:05:40.040 That is why.
00:05:41.040 I understand.
00:05:42.040 Of course there's going to be other barriers if you're disabled, I'm sure.
00:05:47.040 Like I'm not, I'm not, I'm not, I'm talking about as a woman.
00:05:50.040 So you're just going to ignore the-
00:05:51.040 I would agree. 0.52
00:05:52.040 White women have it easier. 1.00
00:05:53.040 Yes.
00:05:54.040 I would agree.
