Transcript

00:00:00.240 What is the biggest issue then that feminism faces?
00:00:04.040 I think it's the mindset.
00:00:06.100 Women taking, like the agency, women taking initiative.
00:00:09.800 I think it's mindset holding them back a lot.
00:00:11.920 Because if you want to be in a competitive world and compete,
00:00:15.160 you have to have the right mindset.
00:00:16.940 And I think a lot of people blame their lack of confidence
00:00:21.380 or what society tells them
00:00:23.820 for the reason they're not achieving what they need to achieve
00:00:27.300 when that's not the case.
00:00:28.460 You have to have the mindset of achieving
00:00:30.980 because the men who built the world had the mindset of building it.
00:00:34.280 So the women who want to engage and build that further,
00:00:37.380 they need to have that same mindset.
00:00:39.040 I don't think we do.
00:00:40.340 I think it's like assuming that we all want to be capitalist babies.
00:00:43.660 I think that men are not well adjusted in the society
00:00:46.260 and women are not trying to re-embody what they have built for us.
00:00:50.800 I think that what we're forgetting is a very important detail,
00:00:54.960 which is just human respect and dignity
00:00:57.320 and not asking people to prove what their experience is
00:01:02.160 and to prove to you.
00:01:03.740 Like it is like such conservative thinking to say,
00:01:07.360 like, I don't understand, explain it to me
00:01:09.260 versus just saying, I don't understand
00:01:10.960 and let me respect what you are saying.
00:01:13.360 I'm respecting wherever you're starting point.
00:01:15.640 I'm respecting that.
00:01:16.680 I'm really respecting that.
00:01:17.820 I'm saying that if you don't have the mindset you can even achieve it,
00:01:21.080 you're never going to even try.
00:01:22.300 So it's never-
00:01:22.820 But achieve what?
00:01:23.500 Like what are we talking about?
00:01:24.680 Achieve a fair world.
00:01:24.880 Because I feel like you projected this like capitalist ideology on every woman.
00:01:29.200 Achieve whatever it is you're looking for, equality, equity.
00:01:32.120 But what I'm saying is women in the feminist space and a lot of these other spaces,
00:01:37.060 we don't acknowledge that we have to take the initiative.
00:01:41.020 We have to take the action.
00:01:42.180 We have to have the mindset.
00:01:43.160 We have to demand those things.
00:01:44.640 I don't understand how we're getting so off topic.
00:01:47.200 This is about feminism, feminism today.
00:01:48.980 Whereas everybody wants to make this about their individual,
00:01:52.320 oh, here are all the multitude of other things that factor into my person.
00:01:56.260 Great.
00:01:56.580 This is about feminism.
00:01:57.980 It's about womanhood.
00:01:59.240 I understand that all of you have your own individual experiences
00:02:02.960 and the other things that feed into you as a person.
00:02:05.500 That's perfectly fine.
00:02:06.640 But this is where intersectionality falls off the planet and loses,
00:02:09.980 I would argue, probably the vast majority of people, including me.
00:02:13.120 I'm not even a feminist.
00:02:14.300 I don't give a crap about feminists arguing amongst themselves
00:02:17.120 about who's the most victimized.
00:02:18.520 But this is annoying to listen to.
00:02:20.760 I honestly just, I don't understand anything anybody's even trying to get at.
00:02:24.240 Look, I just want to say that I don't think equity
00:02:26.520 and this concept of competition can't coexist with each other.
00:02:29.540 Equity is building more facilities for people who need them.
00:02:32.640 It is recognizing that there are holes in the market
00:02:34.680 and there's opportunities for women and feminine, expansive people
00:02:37.880 and meeting those opportunities.
00:02:39.660 I think equity can buoy the pre-existing system that we live in in a good way.
00:02:44.640 And this is where we're going to get to what I think the real feminist,
00:02:48.520 arguments are, are based off of policy.
00:02:51.140 And abortion is the biggest one.
00:02:53.940 How many of you would identify as pro-choice?
00:02:58.020 Let's do a show of hands for pro-choice.
00:03:00.580 I feel like pro-choice is pro-life though.
00:03:02.940 Yeah.
00:03:03.500 Yeah.
00:03:03.760 Okay.
00:03:04.020 And folks who identify as pro-life, why do you identify as each?
00:03:10.120 You've gone from legal, safe, rare to, yeah, I'm so proud.
00:03:15.660 Let me beatbox in front of the Planned Parenthood.
00:03:18.040 Yeah, I got murder on my mind.
00:03:19.540 The fact that it's celebrated that murdering children, especially in late-term pregnancies,
00:03:25.740 is celebrated that people are so proud of themselves for mutilating a fetus is just,
00:03:30.640 it blows my mind.
00:03:31.920 And I don't think that you need to be pro-life to even take that.
00:03:34.700 You said late-term pregnancy.
00:03:36.680 Yes.
00:03:36.820 A lot of abortions do not happen in late-term pregnancy.
00:03:38.020 I made the distinction.
00:03:39.200 I made the distinction specifically because lots of people still celebrate.
00:03:43.140 There are people who, when the laws were passed actually here in New York, they said,
00:03:46.280 yes, great, yes, I love the fact that-
00:03:47.620 Right, but you need to ask about what are people celebrating, right?
00:03:50.460 They're celebrating access.
00:03:51.740 We're not celebrating killing kids.
00:03:53.180 Like, that's not what it is.
00:03:54.480 But then why, well, listen, this is what I'm saying.
00:03:55.700 So, like, here's the thing.
00:03:56.980 When we're talking about access to reproductive health and to abortion rights, right, and to
00:04:01.540 being pro-choice, listen, that's your body, you do you.
00:04:05.020 The child is not your body.
00:04:07.040 As I go.
00:04:08.180 A baby.
00:04:08.980 It's so scary for me to hear people calling, like, guns the biggest equalizer for women,
00:04:13.500 but taking their choices away from them at a policy level.
00:04:16.760 Why is that?
00:04:17.960 Having a gun is an equalizer.
00:04:19.660 It is.
00:04:19.920 Having rights is an equalizer.
00:04:21.520 Having choice is an equalizer.
00:04:23.160 It's like a gun, right?
00:04:23.940 And in this country, the policies that are pushed to continue perpetuating patriarchy
00:04:29.980 and anti-women, like, taking the autonomy away from women, it is heartbreaking to see
00:04:36.980 women pushing that propaganda.
00:04:39.020 It's all brainwashed.
00:04:40.760 Like, you-
00:04:41.160 Oh, it's brainwashed because you don't agree with me.
00:04:43.120 No, because I've been brainwashed.
00:04:44.540 I have lived deeply institutionalized.
00:04:46.580 I have lived under Islam.
00:04:48.060 I'm not interested in any of that.
00:04:49.560 Like, there's no, like-
00:04:50.560 You're not interested in human-
00:04:51.700 No, I'm not interested in, like, thinking that, like, women are doing this really bad
00:04:57.680 thing.
00:04:57.980 Like, in a religion, abortion is actually allowed.
00:05:00.960 If the woman needs it, she's allowed.
00:05:02.560 Because, you know, it's very interesting how, like, fundamental America is.
00:05:07.600 Like, fundamentalist-
00:05:08.080 This is not- This is nothing to do with-
00:05:10.080 Very, very, like, deep-
00:05:11.080 Even religion.
00:05:11.360 This is very-
00:05:12.080 Conservative thinking.
00:05:12.800 ...basic, scientific, human rights.
00:05:16.140 We're also talking about people not having access to abortion clinics, where they're doing
00:05:20.940 the things to self, and they die.
00:05:22.820 Right?
00:05:23.120 We're also talking about women in the hospital who are pregnant, who have chosen to stay
00:05:27.500 with their pregnancy and have issues at hospitals, and hospitals that are like, oh, no, we don't
00:05:31.820 do that.
00:05:32.620 Listen, for whatever reason, you don't need to explain it to anybody, but a lot of times
00:05:37.520 when we're talking about access to reproductive health, for me, I'm thinking about Black, Indigenous,
00:05:42.240 people of color, particularly women and girls who are working class, who do not have even
00:05:47.640 access to, like, proper sexual education.
00:05:50.940 It's the oppressive state of saying, I will force you to have a child even against your own
00:05:56.760 will, right?
00:05:58.080 Especially when you're thinking about women and girls who would be forced to have these
00:06:04.120 children who are already living in very traumatized and scare situations.
00:06:09.660 You want to ask about barriers?
00:06:11.080 That's a barrier right there.
00:06:13.120 Women in poverty aren't able to access the way that rich women are.
00:06:16.780 And no matter what happens, rich women are going to keep getting abortions, and people
00:06:20.880 in poverty are going to not.
00:06:23.280 And the choice, opening it up, the overruling, is marginally affecting people of color, people
00:06:29.960 in poverty, way more than people who are going to get access to those abortions.
00:06:34.120 Actually, incorrect.
00:06:35.500 There's actually more abortions for people in poverty.
00:06:38.300 It's just at a lower rate.
00:06:41.680 Why do you think that abortion has been so tied up in this feminism conversation?
00:06:46.300 It's all just social structure set up around bodies.
00:06:49.720 So if not all women are able to have babies, but it's about the barriers and value that we
00:06:57.300 give to these specific bodies, right?
00:07:00.060 And so if abortion happens in a woman's body, that's why this conversation is coming up.
00:07:04.460 Can I ask you a question?
00:07:06.060 Sure.
00:07:07.060 You said that not all women are able to have babies or pregnancies.
00:07:13.480 Are you saying, meaning like an infertility issue?
00:07:16.300 A number of reasons.
00:07:18.100 There's all kinds of reasons that not all women are having babies.
00:07:21.060 Pearl, I saw your hand up.
00:07:22.060 Yeah.
00:07:23.060 I think women want to sleep around and not have any consequence for it.
00:07:26.680 Hell yeah.
00:07:27.680 We do.
00:07:28.680 Yeah.
00:07:29.680 Yeah.
00:07:30.680 Instead of, you know, taking personal accountability and being on birth control, they just want
00:07:33.680 to like do whatever they want.
00:07:34.680 As many of you know, I was just banned on TikTok and we are demonetized on a daily basis
