00:00:00.000 Coming up next.
00:00:01.160 Competence is competence,
00:00:02.400 irrespective of if you're male or female.
00:00:04.540 So I've looked down, and my flies are undone.
00:00:07.180 When was you going to say something?
00:00:08.980 Because you've been looking at my front for a very long time.
00:00:11.720 There are people who do report things,
00:00:13.820 and it's still their version of events.
00:00:15.660 But you didn't report it, though.
00:00:16.780 I think it's selfish not to report it.
00:00:18.620 I genuinely think it's selfish.
00:00:19.940 Like, you want them to do that to someone else?
00:00:21.520 If five women do not report it,
00:00:23.300 then they say to me,
00:00:24.080 oh, it's because of he say she say.
00:00:25.580 Whose fault is that?
00:00:26.660 Women.
00:00:27.240 If somebody does something to you in your workplace,
00:00:29.520 in your home,
00:00:30.540 any man is inappropriate,
00:00:31.700 you need to go and report it straight away.
00:00:34.000 Nowadays, you can report someone
00:00:35.260 grabbing your butt at a bar.
00:00:36.720 If something happened to me that was so traumatizing,
00:00:39.220 like, I wouldn't want other girls to go through that.
00:00:41.440 Why am I going to go to the police?
00:00:42.860 Oh, okay, okay, so now, okay.
00:00:44.140 Who at 15 have assaulted me.
00:00:46.400 I have something to read to you guys.
00:00:48.560 Okay.
00:00:50.860 Wait, today's topic.
00:00:52.100 I forgot to say the topic.
00:00:53.560 Today's topic is,
00:00:54.660 can modern women be men?
00:00:56.620 So, in the last 25 years,
00:00:58.480 women have made strides in management
00:01:01.160 and leadership positions in the workplace.
00:01:03.920 As of 2022,
00:01:05.280 women represent 35% of leadership positions
00:01:08.260 in companies in the U.S.
00:01:09.960 and 33% in the U.K.
00:01:12.540 Women also make up 27% of the seats
00:01:15.480 in the current U.S. Congress
00:01:16.860 and 35% of MPs in the U.K. Parliament.
00:01:22.300 Studies have shown that organizations
00:01:23.800 with a diverse mix of male and female leaders
00:01:26.600 tend to outperform those that don't by 30%.
00:01:30.120 While this may sound like nothing new,
00:01:32.680 but like nothing,
00:01:34.000 while this may sound like nothing but good news,
00:01:36.440 a study from UCLA surveyed 60,000 professionals
00:01:40.060 and found that women,
00:01:41.700 even those who were managers themselves,
00:01:43.640 were more likely to want a male boss than a female one.
00:01:47.620 The participants explained that female bosses
00:01:50.600 are emotional, catty, or bitchy.
00:01:53.920 Men preferred male bosses too,
00:01:55.660 but by a much smaller margin
00:01:57.480 than female participants did.
00:01:59.660 A much smaller survey by UCLA
00:02:02.060 of law firms, staff, secretaries, paralegals, etc.,
00:02:06.080 nearly all of whom were women,
00:02:07.940 resulted in not one saying
00:02:09.960 that she or he would prefer
00:02:12.640 to work for a female law partner.
00:02:14.420 The study showed that females in the legal profession
00:02:17.380 that reported to a female boss
00:02:19.800 showed more symptoms of distress,
00:02:22.180 including trouble sleeping and headaches
00:02:24.200 when compared to working for a man.
00:02:27.000 Gallup completed a survey
00:02:28.260 that gave a holistic view of this phenomenon.
00:02:31.140 The study found that almost 40% of women
00:02:33.600 preferred male leadership
00:02:34.800 as compared to 26% of men.
00:02:38.920 When asked,
00:02:40.700 would you prefer to work
00:02:43.040 for a female or a male boss?
00:02:44.560 The responses of those
00:02:46.180 that preferred male leadership
00:02:47.640 can be summed up as followed.
00:02:51.400 Male bosses are more receptive
00:02:52.720 towards new ideas
00:02:53.740 and allowed execution
00:02:55.100 with minimal interference.
00:02:57.680 They're a lot nicer
00:02:58.800 and less emotional.
00:03:00.040 They have less drama
00:03:00.960 and are less jealous
00:03:02.140 of their better-looking counterparts.
00:03:04.100 They recognize and applaud commitment
00:03:05.980 and dedication
00:03:06.700 and are more direct to deal with
00:03:09.240 and willing to wade
00:03:11.120 into disagreements
00:03:12.140 amongst subordinates.
00:03:14.260 Also, statistics
00:03:15.140 from the Workplace Bullying Institute
00:03:17.200 have shown that 80%
00:03:18.600 Oh God, that's so bad.
00:03:19.800 That 80% of the time
00:03:21.020 women bully other women
00:03:22.440 while at work.
00:03:23.760 If more women
00:03:24.900 prefer male leadership,
00:03:26.920 how is there a patriarchy
00:03:28.260 of the modern workplace?
00:03:29.400 Is it time
00:03:30.620 to recognize
00:03:31.320 the toxic matriarchy?
00:03:34.960 Thoughts?
00:03:35.740 Question for the woman.
00:03:36.800 What has your overall experience
00:03:39.360 been with female leadership
00:03:40.780 compared to male leadership
00:03:42.300 in your industry?
00:03:45.120 So, starting here
00:03:47.860 and then go around.
00:03:49.160 If you've never had
00:03:50.640 both genders as bosses,
00:03:52.620 you can say that too.
00:03:53.980 Well, I've experienced
00:03:54.900 both male and female management,
00:03:57.540 but I'd say I've experienced
00:03:58.400 one female management
00:03:59.320 due to male.
00:04:02.040 Female, I would say
00:04:03.300 they're more direct.
00:04:04.920 I feel like sometimes
00:04:05.700 male management or stuff,
00:04:08.600 they just tend to have
00:04:09.340 like a more standoffish approach
00:04:10.660 whereas females
00:04:11.200 are more straightforward.
00:04:13.280 Maybe they're more
00:04:14.140 like engaging.
00:04:16.020 I would say it was okay.
00:04:17.240 It was good.
00:04:17.780 It was a good experience,
00:04:18.760 but there can be a bit of like
00:04:20.380 that woman-to-woman
00:04:21.800 kind of macho-ness,
00:04:22.780 like kind of how men
00:04:23.440 have that alpha
00:04:25.160 kind of situation going on.
00:04:26.740 I feel like that can occur
00:04:27.580 at times.
00:04:28.620 And obviously being a female,
00:04:29.780 you know,
00:04:30.540 we're very intuitive at times.
00:04:31.980 We're like,
00:04:32.200 is she trying to, you know,
00:04:33.520 trying to play games?
00:04:34.440 I'm trying to play games
00:04:35.860 playing my mental,
00:04:37.060 but you know,
00:04:37.700 yeah, nothing too intense,
00:04:39.580 like very mediocre.
00:04:40.840 Okay.
00:04:41.220 What about you two?
00:04:43.360 I've had both.
00:04:44.340 I've had a woman manager once
00:04:46.860 and I prefer having a male manager
00:04:49.920 just because they're less emotional.
00:04:52.600 I feel like in terms of leadership,
00:04:55.260 I trust men more
00:04:57.300 and I prefer a man to lead
00:05:00.560 and a lot of older women,
00:05:02.640 not all,
00:05:03.040 but a lot are a bit jealous
00:05:05.000 of younger women,
00:05:06.000 especially if they look nice
00:05:07.780 or if they have a lot of talent
00:05:09.460 and sometimes it makes them wish
00:05:11.760 that they were young again.
00:05:12.760 So yeah,
00:05:13.440 I just prefer...
00:05:14.300 I prefer men,
00:05:19.840 like I trust male leadership.
00:05:23.900 So I'm really lucky.
00:05:25.080 I've only had one female boss
00:05:27.360 and she was actually
00:05:28.480 a very good friend of mine as well
00:05:29.840 and we worked wonderfully together.
00:05:32.020 I'm 40 and she's,
00:05:33.380 I think,
00:05:33.580 12 years older than me
00:05:34.920 and I think if you have
00:05:37.060 a good working,
00:05:38.740 understanding relationship
00:05:40.180 with the woman
00:05:40.780 that you're working with,
00:05:41.580 it can be a really wonderful thing.
00:05:44.480 I've worked for many,
00:05:45.920 many males,
00:05:47.540 the majority of whom
00:05:48.740 have been inappropriate,
00:05:51.500 I guess at some point,
00:05:52.640 like not physically,
00:05:54.360 but just more like
00:05:55.420 sly comments and things.
00:05:58.300 Like flirty?
00:05:59.000 Flirty and,
00:05:59.920 you know,
00:06:00.560 suggestive,
00:06:01.880 you know,
00:06:02.540 maybe provocative.
00:06:03.780 Inappropriate.
00:06:04.240 Did you ever feel like
00:06:05.140 you got like better,
00:06:07.120 like you moved up faster
00:06:08.260 because they were flirting with you?
00:06:10.140 Yeah, I did.
00:06:10.840 And actually there was
00:06:12.340 one job that I worked at
00:06:14.200 in the retail industry
00:06:15.180 where we had a male manager
00:06:18.480 and then all of the other employees
00:06:21.080 were attractive women,
00:06:22.280 all of them.
00:06:23.180 And it was very obvious
00:06:25.640 and everybody knew it,
00:06:27.760 all the other retail stores around us,
00:06:29.660 you know,
00:06:29.880 they knew that all of the girls
00:06:31.780 that work there
00:06:32.440 were particularly good looking
00:06:33.860 and that there would always be
00:06:34.920 like a new flow
00:06:35.700 of good looking women.
00:06:37.120 But overall,
00:06:39.220 I think when you're
00:06:40.320 a confident woman,
00:06:41.960 then you can work
00:06:43.160 with other confident women.
00:06:44.820 And when you are
00:06:45.940 a confident woman,
00:06:46.660 you can take leadership
00:06:48.040 from a man.
00:06:50.140 Okay.
00:06:50.780 What about you?
00:06:52.460 I would say
00:06:53.540 for me personally,
00:06:54.860 the difference is
00:06:55.880 between competence
00:06:57.200 and incompetence.
00:06:58.480 So if you're
00:06:58.920 a competent leader,
00:06:59.720 you're competent.
00:07:01.120 And then the differentiating factor
00:07:02.840 between a man and a woman
00:07:04.000 is if you're disappointed
00:07:05.060 by a rubbish woman boss,
00:07:07.000 it's because they've been
00:07:08.260 unkind to you
00:07:09.720 or been overly critical
00:07:11.080 or been overly judgmental.
00:07:14.080 And then if you have
00:07:14.740 a male boss
00:07:15.360 that's incompetent,
00:07:16.360 it's because
00:07:17.080 he made a pass at you
00:07:18.640 or he made you feel smaller
00:07:19.840 than you should have felt
00:07:20.800 or he belittled you
00:07:22.440 in front of people
00:07:23.180 when actually
00:07:23.800 he was the one
00:07:24.580 that was wrong.
00:07:25.480 So I think the differentiation
00:07:26.900 comes between
00:07:28.120 their levels of incompetence,
00:07:29.820 but competence
00:07:30.560 is competence
00:07:31.260 irrespective
00:07:32.260 of if you're male or female.
00:07:34.140 Okay.
00:07:34.540 What do you think?
00:07:35.700 I think it's 50-50.
00:07:37.320 I think I've had
00:07:38.380 good and bad.
00:07:39.980 Like with
00:07:40.820 a male manager
00:07:42.300 that I had,
00:07:43.420 he was all about looks
00:07:44.480 and then
00:07:45.180 my previous
00:07:46.840 manager
00:07:47.640 who was a female,
00:07:49.320 she was just
00:07:49.820 very laid back.
00:07:51.180 So yeah,
00:07:52.140 I think it's 50-50.
00:07:54.260 Was you asking the girls
00:07:55.240 or just the...
00:07:56.160 Oh, um...
00:07:57.220 Do you want to do girls first?
00:07:57.880 Yeah, we'll do girls first.
00:07:58.840 Go ahead.
00:08:00.360 Um...
00:08:01.160 I agree with like
00:08:02.560 what you were saying
00:08:03.200 about competence.
00:08:04.520 So if you have experience,
00:08:06.760 if you care about
00:08:07.860 the work that you do,
00:08:09.320 whether you're male
00:08:10.100 or female,
00:08:10.700 you will like
00:08:12.240 brush up
00:08:12.860 on your leadership skills.
00:08:14.760 Women lead the home.
00:08:17.260 So,
00:08:18.040 I mean,
00:08:19.060 I'm a bit old school.
00:08:20.460 So I believe that like
00:08:21.420 technically
00:08:21.940 if push comes to shove,
00:08:24.440 a man should lead the home.
00:08:26.200 But in terms of the running
00:08:28.940 of the home,
00:08:29.620 the organisation,
00:08:30.660 the family,
00:08:32.220 the, you know,
00:08:33.200 like multitasking,
00:08:34.880 everything else,
00:08:35.700 how things look,
00:08:37.640 organising the finances,
00:08:40.220 thinking about investments,
00:08:41.080 like women lead.
00:08:43.000 Um,
00:08:43.540 and I've had an amazing
00:08:45.100 female lead
00:08:46.120 and I've had a...
00:08:47.040 Am I allowed to swear?
00:08:48.140 Yeah, you can swear.
00:08:48.680 I've had like a really
00:08:49.760 shit female boss
00:08:51.040 who was a bitch.
00:08:52.620 Like,
00:08:53.260 yeah,
00:08:53.740 she was horrible.
00:08:54.980 Um,
00:08:55.820 and I was really young
00:08:56.780 and yeah,
00:08:57.500 she,
00:08:58.580 yeah,
00:08:59.520 but I've,
00:09:00.060 so I've had both.
00:09:01.160 Um,
00:09:01.420 but men I've like,
00:09:03.420 and I've had,
00:09:03.880 it's same,
00:09:04.440 I've had really good men
00:09:05.500 bosses,
00:09:06.700 um,
00:09:07.980 or like colleagues
00:09:09.400 and then,
00:09:10.180 but men in leadership,
00:09:12.540 I trust women more,
00:09:14.680 like competent women.
00:09:16.280 Like there's,
00:09:17.040 um,
00:09:17.300 something really special
00:09:18.340 when like strong women
00:09:20.360 come together
00:09:21.040 and work together.
00:09:22.400 It's like sisterhood
00:09:23.420 and it's rare.
00:09:25.440 Like,
00:09:25.980 I don't,
00:09:27.060 it exists.
00:09:28.160 It's not,
00:09:28.900 it's not a unicorn.
00:09:30.240 It's not a unicorn.
00:09:31.080 You ever see sorority houses
00:09:32.380 versus frat houses?
00:09:33.720 The frat houses,
00:09:34.540 they're like best friends
00:09:35.560 for life.
00:09:36.140 No,
00:09:36.360 no,
00:09:36.500 no,
00:09:36.640 you're right.
00:09:37.560 Like,
00:09:37.740 you're right.
00:09:38.180 Men as groups,
00:09:39.360 like bond better,
00:09:40.520 like they're bros more,
00:09:41.620 like they are,
00:09:42.200 like they play sports together.
00:09:43.640 So they do more things
00:09:45.020 as a group.
00:09:46.460 Um,
00:09:46.800 but when you like,
00:09:49.100 get a good mix,
00:09:50.600 like,
00:09:51.080 I don't know how to explain it.
00:09:51.880 I think that's to do
00:09:52.480 with competency.
00:09:53.240 Like if you are a healthy person
00:09:55.020 and you find another healthy person,
00:09:56.900 there will be healthy things happening.
00:09:59.700 Um,
00:10:00.260 so,
00:10:00.860 you know,
00:10:01.140 you're getting old,
00:10:01.960 but if you're dealing with your trauma
00:10:04.580 with getting old
00:10:05.340 and like the way that that makes you feel
00:10:07.600 and you're faced with a beautiful young woman,
00:10:09.720 you are not going to take out
00:10:11.120 those feelings on her.
00:10:12.160 I don't know.
00:10:13.300 It exists.
00:10:14.080 There are nice people out there,
00:10:15.880 but it's rare.
00:10:16.860 I think it's common though.
00:10:17.960 I think older women bully younger women a lot.
00:10:20.380 I hear you.
00:10:21.820 It's like,
00:10:22.040 like mother vibe,
00:10:23.080 like a mother daughter relationship.
00:10:24.280 Well,
00:10:24.400 it's almost like,
00:10:25.500 it's only,
00:10:26.080 I've noticed it's usually,
00:10:27.480 I'm not saying all,
00:10:28.500 but it's only if they're still single.
00:10:30.440 Like if they're married,
00:10:31.320 they're like happily married,
00:10:32.260 they got a man,
00:10:32.880 but it's like when they're competing with you.
00:10:35.380 Yeah.
00:10:35.840 That's,
00:10:36.140 that's what I found.
00:10:36.920 I hear you.
00:10:37.880 I hear you.
00:10:38.440 And that's the dynamic between like older women
00:10:41.180 and younger women,
00:10:42.300 but there's also a dynamic between older men
00:10:44.720 and men in general and women.
00:10:46.420 And if men see you as a sexual object
00:10:50.720 rather than a work colleague,
00:10:52.520 it happens.
00:10:53.940 Like I've been a teenager,
00:10:55.100 like groped at work by my boss.
00:10:57.700 Like,
00:10:58.180 did you report it?
00:10:59.020 I didn't report it.
00:11:00.080 Like I,
00:11:01.060 when these things happen,
00:11:02.460 grapes,
00:11:03.120 okay,
00:11:03.360 maybe not grapes,
00:11:03.860 but like when like you don't know how to,
00:11:07.520 like,
00:11:07.640 especially being a teenager,
00:11:08.760 like I'm going to college.
00:11:10.700 I live alone and you know,
00:11:13.700 I'm going through things in my life
00:11:15.140 and I've been through things in my life
00:11:16.280 and it,
00:11:16.960 it,
00:11:17.300 you internalize it,
00:11:18.280 if that makes sense.
00:11:18.820 Like you feel like you've done something wrong
00:11:20.660 or you're to blame.
00:11:21.260 Like I'm feisty.
00:11:22.500 So like I put it on him
00:11:23.580 and I like showed him it's not that bad,
00:11:25.340 but like,
00:11:25.880 what do you mean you put it?
00:11:27.080 I put it on him.
00:11:27.660 Like bro,
00:11:28.500 like it's not that kind of party.
00:11:29.600 Like I'm from South London.
00:11:30.800 Like you're old.
00:11:32.460 I was confused.
00:11:33.280 And the US put it on him
00:11:34.540 means something.
00:11:35.460 No,
00:11:35.900 like I didn't like straddle him
00:11:37.660 in the cafe,
00:11:38.900 but like I just showed him like,
00:11:40.560 that's not cool,
00:11:41.160 but yeah,
00:11:42.800 like when there's such a difference
00:11:44.100 between age and like experience
00:11:46.300 and just in general,
00:11:47.800 like even if there's not that difference
00:11:48.960 between age and experience,
00:11:50.740 like men think that they can
00:11:52.500 be inappropriate
00:11:54.380 and that's okay.
00:11:55.720 You know,
00:11:56.080 some men,
00:11:57.300 some men,
00:11:58.120 some men,
00:11:59.040 most men,
00:12:00.240 because if you look at,
00:12:01.560 you can't say most you,
00:12:03.520 because you've got to look
00:12:04.520 at a woman's experience
00:12:05.700 and you've got to look at,
00:12:07.360 they do research.
00:12:08.520 Like if I've spoken to 100 men
00:12:10.140 in my life
00:12:10.680 and 89.9
00:12:13.140 have moved
00:12:14.120 in this type of way.
00:12:16.360 90% of men.
00:12:17.700 89.9.
00:12:18.580 Okay.
00:12:18.900 You think 89.9
00:12:20.760 have moved mad.
00:12:22.900 No,
00:12:23.420 that's not my experience.
00:12:24.580 Like I just wouldn't,
00:12:25.660 I mean,
00:12:26.000 when I was,
00:12:26.500 when I was young,
00:12:27.060 I had a coach hit on me,
00:12:28.720 but I wouldn't generalize
00:12:29.680 all men with that.
00:12:31.640 89.9?
00:12:32.440 Yeah.
00:12:32.580 No,
00:12:32.960 not even close.
00:12:33.800 I would say like,
00:12:34.740 I would say most men
00:12:35.560 are good men.
00:12:36.220 Like,
00:12:36.380 you know what you're saying?
00:12:37.020 Do you have any brothers?
00:12:38.420 I have two brothers,
00:12:40.020 one which is AWOL
00:12:41.320 and the other,
00:12:42.160 which is Dutty,
00:12:43.560 but kind of good.
00:12:44.160 So,
00:12:44.480 so if you put your brothers
00:12:45.420 in the room with us,
00:12:46.260 that's four men
00:12:46.820 and then you put,
00:12:48.300 wait,
00:12:48.480 Kobe said,
00:12:48.920 that's five.
00:12:50.000 You put,
00:12:50.320 Blessing said,
00:12:50.980 that's six.
00:12:52.080 Amiri just left,
00:12:52.760 that was seven.
00:12:53.240 If you put another three,
00:12:53.880 you're going to say
00:12:54.380 out of those 10 men,
00:12:55.680 eight of us are inappropriate
00:12:56.980 and removed.
00:12:57.300 But you're,
00:12:57.700 you're picking like my brothers.
00:12:59.680 No,
00:12:59.940 I'm picking,
00:13:00.420 and you're assuming
00:13:02.060 that my brothers
00:13:02.880 like are cool.
00:13:04.660 No,
00:13:04.900 I'm just picking,
00:13:05.500 I'm just picking 10 men
00:13:06.880 and you said 89.9.
00:13:08.520 So let's say,
00:13:09.040 so let's say out of 10 men,
00:13:11.160 nine of them
00:13:12.340 are men that commit SA
00:13:14.280 and don't know how to treat women.
00:13:15.540 Is that what you're saying?
00:13:16.160 So I'm not saying
00:13:17.340 that they commit SA.
00:13:18.820 I never said they'll commit SA.
00:13:20.200 I'm saying inappropriate.
00:13:21.740 So,
00:13:22.140 okay.
00:13:22.360 So the same way
00:13:23.460 that we said
00:13:24.080 that older women
00:13:25.020 may like try
00:13:26.940 and put that on a woman
00:13:28.180 and bring out like
00:13:29.220 their issues
00:13:29.760 that they have
00:13:30.320 about getting older
00:13:31.060 and a young woman
00:13:32.140 being threatening to them.
00:13:34.480 That's one dynamic
00:13:35.740 between an older woman
00:13:37.020 and a younger woman.
00:13:37.980 An older
00:13:38.700 or a similar age man
00:13:40.100 and a woman
00:13:40.700 from my experience,
00:13:42.760 so I'm not saying
00:13:43.400 in life in general,
00:13:44.520 this is for everybody,
00:13:45.380 but from my experience,
00:13:47.080 over 50%,
00:13:48.100 closer towards 89.9
00:13:49.780 have been inappropriate.
00:13:51.500 Can you define,
00:13:52.480 can you define
00:13:53.020 inappropriate?
00:13:54.300 So,
00:13:55.720 like passes,
00:13:57.000 like,
00:13:57.380 like,
00:13:57.680 what's passes?
00:13:58.760 So you just mean
00:13:59.460 like,
00:13:59.760 you look,
00:14:00.400 like,
00:14:00.940 looking at your blouse,
00:14:02.660 like,
00:14:02.960 or like,
00:14:03.480 do you know what I mean?
00:14:04.020 Like,
00:14:04.300 like,
00:14:04.600 I can give a good example.
00:14:05.540 Yes,
00:14:06.200 please.
00:14:06.760 Thank you.
00:14:07.420 I was at work.
00:14:08.720 Sorry.
00:14:09.140 I could give a good example.
00:14:10.520 I forgot my mic was so far away.
00:14:11.760 I was at work one day
00:14:14.600 and I was like,
00:14:15.640 going through my shift.
00:14:16.400 My job is one of those jobs
00:14:17.260 where you get there.
00:14:18.180 I don't really wear my uniform
00:14:19.580 to work
00:14:20.040 because I don't like to commute
00:14:20.920 in my uniform.
00:14:21.760 So I will change when I get there,
00:14:22.980 whatever not.
00:14:23.500 So I've gone on the shop floor
00:14:24.400 and I'm just getting on with my job.
00:14:26.120 I've got probably 11 hour shift.
00:14:27.800 Just going through it,
00:14:28.500 going through it,
00:14:28.860 going through it.
00:14:29.580 And one of the like,
00:14:30.500 new kind of old-ish,
00:14:32.100 like,
00:14:32.240 you know when someone
00:14:32.560 goes to the job
00:14:32.980 and they come back?
00:14:34.180 We had like someone
00:14:34.740 that had come back to the shop
00:14:35.780 and they was like on the pass
00:14:37.100 or whatever not doing their job.
00:14:38.340 And I'm just like,
00:14:39.060 you know,
00:14:39.240 on the shop floor
00:14:39.920 getting on with everything.
00:14:41.240 I'm seeing them gesture at me,
00:14:42.520 like kind of like glaring towards me
00:14:43.800 and I'm thinking,
00:14:44.500 Who is it?
00:14:45.460 This is like,
00:14:46.660 say,
00:14:46.820 it's a runner.
00:14:47.580 Like,
00:14:47.800 I work in hospitality.
00:14:49.220 Oh, okay.
00:14:49.840 So like,
00:14:50.320 say,
00:14:50.500 I'm like head waitress.
00:14:51.460 That's my position,
00:14:52.220 senior waitress on the shop floor.
00:14:53.540 And I'm just doing my day-to-day,
00:14:55.060 like,
00:14:55.240 you know,
00:14:55.460 diligence.
00:14:56.420 And they was doing their job,
00:14:58.160 but it's like,
00:14:58.460 they was glaring at me
00:14:59.280 at a point.
00:15:00.160 So I was thinking,
00:15:00.760 how can I help?
00:15:02.380 But I'm kind of like,
00:15:03.080 not saying nothing.
00:15:03.960 I'm kind of looking at them like.
00:15:05.280 And it's two guys?
00:15:06.560 No,
00:15:06.760 it's one guy at this point.
00:15:07.640 One guy.
00:15:07.760 So one guy.
00:15:08.660 This is just somebody
00:15:09.340 that's not necessarily
00:15:10.180 on a higher hierarchy
00:15:11.700 in the establishment,
00:15:13.080 but it doesn't make a difference.
00:15:14.020 Like men,
00:15:14.600 male,
00:15:15.000 whatever.
00:15:15.880 So yeah,
00:15:16.440 he's glaring at me
00:15:17.080 and I'm looking back like,
00:15:18.420 how can I help?
00:15:19.360 And he's kind of like,
00:15:20.200 looked down
00:15:20.680 because obviously being a female,
00:15:22.120 you'll be conscious
00:15:22.620 of when a male's looking at you.
00:15:24.060 This is what I thought
00:15:25.120 Stephanie's trying to explain.
00:15:26.340 Like,
00:15:26.760 you know,
00:15:26.980 when someone's kind of giving you
00:15:27.920 kind of like,
00:15:28.340 not uncomfortableness,
00:15:29.220 but I'm not sure
00:15:30.300 what you're trying to say,
00:15:31.140 but you're not saying nothing.
00:15:32.240 So you're leaving it
00:15:33.060 out in the open.
00:15:33.860 So I've had to try
00:15:34.440 and interpretate
00:15:35.160 what he's looking at.
00:15:36.760 So I've looked down
00:15:37.520 and my flies are undone.
00:15:39.220 When was you going to say something?
00:15:41.040 Because you've been looking
00:15:41.820 at my front for a very long time.
00:15:44.080 He's my point.
00:15:44.980 You've been looking at my crotch.
00:15:46.060 And when I made like,
00:15:46.940 you know,
00:15:47.520 the announcement of like,
00:15:48.360 oh,
00:15:48.600 like,
00:15:48.900 was you not going to say anything?
00:15:49.880 He was like,
00:15:50.200 I liked it.
00:15:50.800 Like,
00:15:51.520 what does that mean?
00:15:52.700 He was hit on you.
00:15:53.860 But that's the point.
00:15:55.220 Like,
00:15:55.400 why?
00:15:56.120 Why is that something that,
00:15:57.560 you know,
00:15:57.860 it's weird.
00:15:58.680 It's just weird.
00:15:59.180 And guys tend to do things
00:16:00.100 like in their mind,
00:16:00.900 it seems lighthearted,
00:16:02.000 but it's very serious.
00:16:02.940 Yeah.
00:16:03.380 No,
00:16:03.660 I flirted with a guy at work before.
00:16:05.920 I don't think it's that deep.
00:16:06.620 I was doing like a six hour shift
00:16:08.380 with my flies undone.
00:16:09.700 Yeah,
00:16:09.860 but the thing is,
00:16:10.460 and he didn't say anything.
00:16:11.520 He was glaring at it.
00:16:12.220 So the thing is,
00:16:12.840 you have to be clear.
00:16:13.900 You have to be very,
00:16:14.660 very clear in what you're saying.
00:16:16.220 So you're explaining for her,
00:16:18.160 but you can't explain for her
00:16:19.300 for her situation.
00:16:20.440 So you're giving me yours,
00:16:21.280 right?
00:16:21.780 But what I take from this,
00:16:22.840 what I take from this as a man is,
00:16:24.300 which a man's been inappropriate.
00:16:25.280 That's what we're talking about.
00:16:26.080 But when you start talking about
00:16:27.580 89 point,
00:16:29.780 do you know what you're saying?
00:16:31.460 You're saying when you walk down the street,
00:16:33.440 90% of men are going to do a madness
00:16:35.860 or going to treat you inappropriately.
00:16:37.660 So then you can't then retract that to 50%.
00:16:40.020 That could be more likely 50%.
00:16:41.940 You know,
00:16:42.260 a guy could maybe be like this
00:16:43.640 or not be like that.
00:16:44.660 As a man,
00:16:45.560 when we listen to women talk like this,
00:16:47.020 we have to listen to what you're saying.
00:16:48.800 And unless a man has actually done something
00:16:50.720 that you can concrete say,
00:16:52.040 he did this,
00:16:52.760 I reported this.
00:16:53.520 What we hear is just what we always hear from women.
00:16:56.080 Depending on what you feel
00:16:57.420 is how you feel the scenario was.
00:16:59.580 But if you didn't report it,
00:17:01.220 if it wasn't recorded,
00:17:02.720 all we have to go on is
00:17:04.200 just what you believe it is.
00:17:05.900 And you can't even be clearing
00:17:07.260 what you believe it is.
00:17:07.960 What happened?
00:17:08.520 I disagree with that.
00:17:09.880 Sorry,
00:17:10.480 but I disagree with that
00:17:11.540 because you're saying
00:17:13.100 that unless someone reports it,
00:17:15.460 you only have their
00:17:16.780 like version of events to go on.
00:17:19.220 Yeah.
00:17:19.480 But there are people,
00:17:20.140 sorry guys,
00:17:22.320 but there are people
00:17:23.320 who do report things
00:17:24.540 and it's still their version of events.
00:17:26.540 But you didn't report it though.
00:17:28.700 Have you?
00:17:29.520 Because if you don't,
00:17:30.400 if you don't wait,
00:17:31.140 wait,
00:17:31.340 if you don't report it,
00:17:32.180 it's he said,
00:17:32.680 she said.
00:17:33.440 Yeah,
00:17:33.580 but even when you report it,
00:17:34.760 he said,
00:17:35.560 she said.
00:17:35.980 And when people report
00:17:37.080 grape issues
00:17:38.320 or SA issues,
00:17:39.800 it's still a he say,
00:17:41.500 she say.
00:17:42.100 Because if you're in a relationship
00:17:43.600 with someone,
00:17:44.320 if it's your uncle,
00:17:45.480 yeah,
00:17:46.180 whoever it is,
00:17:47.400 it's a personal thing.
00:17:48.960 You understand?
00:17:50.020 When you,
00:17:50.660 like people aren't here right now,
00:17:51.960 there's a whole heap of people
00:17:52.840 in this room,
00:17:53.380 yeah?
00:17:53.720 But when your man
00:17:55.480 does certain things,
00:17:58.000 your man,
00:17:58.820 you know,
00:17:59.300 and you haven't agreed to it,
00:18:01.320 it's still a he say,
00:18:02.380 she say.
00:18:02.940 Did you report it?
00:18:03.640 No,
00:18:03.780 no,
00:18:03.900 no.
00:18:04.140 I'm saying to you,
00:18:05.360 did you report it?
00:18:06.260 I'm saying to you
00:18:07.160 that whether it's reported,
00:18:08.640 but did you report it?
00:18:09.920 to hear what I have to say.
00:18:11.240 I'm saying to you
00:18:12.040 that whether it's reported
00:18:12.880 or whether it's not reported,
00:18:14.540 it's still a he say,
00:18:15.460 she say.
00:18:15.800 And the reason why people
00:18:16.680 don't report it
00:18:17.700 is because it's still
00:18:18.860 a he say,
00:18:19.400 she say.
00:18:19.900 There's no evidence,
00:18:20.820 there's no camera in my room,
00:18:22.500 right?
00:18:22.920 There's no camera in my room
00:18:24.300 to prove that what I'm saying
00:18:26.100 is true.
00:18:26.380 So why do you report it?
00:18:28.160 But what are you talking about?
00:18:29.360 I'm talking about
00:18:29.880 hypothetical situations.
00:18:30.880 Okay,
00:18:31.180 okay,
00:18:31.620 so do you understand the concept?
00:18:32.920 Yes,
00:18:33.100 I do,
00:18:33.440 I do,
00:18:33.940 I do,
00:18:34.340 I do,
00:18:34.660 I do,
00:18:35.000 but even when it's a
00:18:37.280 he said,
00:18:37.700 she said,
00:18:38.080 people have patterns
00:18:38.820 of behavior.
00:18:39.740 Like honestly,
00:18:40.500 I think it's selfish
00:18:41.240 not to report it.
00:18:42.340 I genuinely think it's selfish.
00:18:43.660 Like you want them
00:18:44.040 to do that to someone else?
00:18:45.500 If it genuinely happened,
00:18:46.980 like why would you not
00:18:47.880 report it?
00:18:48.780 Because even if,
00:18:49.680 even if like,
00:18:50.360 let's say justice
00:18:51.240 isn't served for you,
00:18:52.380 if 10 girls come forward
00:18:53.620 with the same story,
00:18:54.560 eventually they can build
00:18:55.840 a case against a guy.
00:18:56.820 It's happened,
00:18:57.260 I've seen it happen.
00:18:58.220 So it's genuinely selfish
00:18:59.560 if you don't report it.
00:18:59.980 So when you say
00:19:00.460 he say,
00:19:00.840 she say,
00:19:01.060 she say,
00:19:01.260 every time you go to the police
00:19:03.040 and you make an accusation
00:19:04.200 against someone,
00:19:04.800 you report it's always
00:19:05.640 he say,
00:19:06.060 she say,
00:19:06.560 nothing is ever concrete.
00:19:07.740 The reason why you go
00:19:08.440 to the police
00:19:09.000 is so that a case
00:19:09.800 can be pulled against the person.
00:19:11.280 So if I have five girls
00:19:12.680 that say to me,
00:19:13.800 my boss was inappropriate to me
00:19:15.040 and I said to you,
00:19:15.580 okay,
00:19:15.760 cool.
00:19:16.160 Or my sister says to me,
00:19:17.400 my boss was inappropriate to you.
00:19:18.440 I say,
00:19:18.680 the first thing you do
00:19:19.380 is go and report it.
00:19:20.500 If five women do not report it,
00:19:22.200 then they say to me,
00:19:22.940 oh,
00:19:23.060 it's because of he say,
00:19:23.880 she say,
00:19:24.500 whose fault is that?
00:19:25.880 But we're not even blaming people.
00:19:27.280 I'm not blaming
00:19:28.520 because she said to me.
00:19:29.380 Because you are.
00:19:30.120 No,
00:19:30.240 no,
00:19:30.380 no,
00:19:30.540 no,
00:19:30.640 no.
00:19:30.680 Guys,
00:19:31.480 guys,
00:19:32.340 guys,
00:19:33.480 guys,
00:19:33.640 guys,
00:19:33.820 guys,
00:19:33.840 listen for a second here.
00:19:34.840 She said to me,
00:19:36.080 apparently I don't understand
00:19:37.480 that he's,
00:19:38.040 but I'm saying I do understand
00:19:39.100 if someone does something to you,
00:19:40.600 this is,
00:19:41.000 look,
00:19:41.140 let me look to the camera.
00:19:42.120 Ladies,
00:19:42.840 women,
00:19:43.360 if somebody does something to you
00:19:44.860 in your workplace,
00:19:45.760 in your home,
00:19:46.660 any man is inappropriate,
00:19:47.800 you need to go and report it
00:19:49.460 straight away.
00:19:50.180 You need to.
00:19:50.840 And this is what I'm going to advocate for
00:19:52.000 because if you come on a platform
00:19:53.120 and you say,
00:19:54.120 oh,
00:19:54.220 my man did this to me,
00:19:55.940 my boss did this to me,
00:19:57.480 and you tell me,
00:19:58.440 and I say to you,
00:19:58.860 so what did you do about it?
00:19:59.680 He said nothing.
00:20:00.420 I'm sorry,
00:20:00.920 I just can't,
00:20:01.360 I just can't,
00:20:01.860 I just can't take every woman
00:20:02.820 that says that the truth.
00:20:03.820 I'm sorry,
00:20:04.080 I can't do that.
00:20:04.620 But can we just say very quickly,
00:20:06.900 which really,
00:20:07.680 really should add
00:20:08.680 that some women
00:20:10.940 are so traumatized
00:20:13.360 by what they have experienced,
00:20:15.600 they find it difficult
00:20:17.200 to come forward.
00:20:18.120 Have you experienced SA,
00:20:19.760 pearly things,
00:20:20.560 or you?
00:20:21.260 Have you experienced it?
00:20:22.160 I mean,
00:20:23.360 the definition for SA
00:20:25.400 is so broad nowadays.
00:20:26.900 What is the definition?
00:20:28.140 I don't even know.
00:20:29.220 They change it every year.
00:20:30.620 And it's also perception.
00:20:31.760 But arguably,
00:20:32.860 I could,
00:20:33.220 yeah,
00:20:33.520 I could argue that I have.
00:20:34.620 And did you report
00:20:35.320 every experience of SA?
00:20:36.760 Yes.
00:20:37.440 Every single experience?
00:20:38.620 It doesn't happen to me
00:20:39.660 that many times.
00:20:41.200 You were so brave then
00:20:42.960 for having the courage
00:20:44.040 to do it.
00:20:44.700 No, it's not.
00:20:45.040 But some women,
00:20:46.020 it's,
00:20:46.460 what is the first thing
00:20:47.500 you're supposed to report?
00:20:48.140 No,
00:20:48.440 and I'm saying,
00:20:48.980 I'm saying argue,
00:20:49.840 and it's arguably
00:20:51.420 because it's like
00:20:52.440 nowadays you can report
00:20:53.680 someone grabbing your butt
00:20:54.700 at a bar.
00:20:56.420 But if that's not warranted
00:20:57.860 or that's not invited.
00:20:58.780 But some people don't think
00:20:59.480 that's like a higher enough report.
00:21:01.720 It doesn't matter.
00:21:02.580 No,
00:21:02.780 I don't know.
00:21:03.820 That's what I say.
00:21:04.620 It's so broad.
00:21:05.660 But I'm saying like,
00:21:07.600 like,
00:21:08.200 if you're,
00:21:08.880 to me,
00:21:09.400 okay,
00:21:09.900 it doesn't make sense to me
00:21:11.440 if you can come on a podcast
00:21:12.720 and talk about something,
00:21:14.000 but you can't talk about it
00:21:14.940 to the police.
00:21:15.620 Exactly.
00:21:16.180 I was going to say that too.
00:21:16.920 So I understand that
00:21:17.940 some people,
00:21:19.140 like,
00:21:19.440 okay,
00:21:19.680 they might,
00:21:20.160 they might not want
00:21:20.680 to talk about it publicly
00:21:21.720 or they might,
00:21:22.260 like,
00:21:22.400 if they're afraid,
00:21:23.260 then they wouldn't go
00:21:23.800 to my podcast
00:21:24.400 and they wouldn't go
00:21:25.060 to the police either.
00:21:26.540 But,
00:21:27.160 again,
00:21:27.900 I still,
00:21:28.520 but I still think
00:21:29.700 it's selfish.
00:21:30.320 I think,
00:21:30.720 I think if you,
00:21:31.720 if you,
00:21:32.380 if you,
00:21:32.760 I'm selfish
00:21:33.460 for being a 17-year-old girl
00:21:35.320 who lives in a hostel.
00:21:36.780 You don't know
00:21:37.120 what I've experienced
00:21:37.800 previous to that
00:21:38.840 for not reporting my boss
00:21:40.900 who's probably about
00:21:41.520 40 years old
00:21:42.600 and,
00:21:43.480 excuse me,
00:21:44.300 let me land,
00:21:44.840 don't interrupt me.
00:21:45.560 No,
00:21:45.800 I'm just saying yes.
00:21:46.300 I'm not asking you,
00:21:47.300 I was asking pearly things.
00:21:48.460 I'm just saying yes.
00:21:49.120 I'm asking you,
00:21:50.020 if you think I'm selfish,
00:21:51.460 I'm a child at this point,
00:21:52.880 yeah?
00:21:53.220 I've been sexually
00:21:54.300 harassed,
00:21:56.480 yeah?
00:21:56.680 Harassment.
00:21:56.920 All of them things
00:21:57.720 that,
00:21:58.020 you know,
00:21:58.360 you can say
00:21:59.120 by,
00:22:00.680 yeah,
00:22:01.120 like,
00:22:01.420 by,
00:22:01.680 you can't,
00:22:02.200 you can't tell me nothing.
00:22:03.600 However,
00:22:03.880 whatever your opinion is,
00:22:04.680 that's your business,
00:22:05.540 yeah?
00:22:05.960 Because I know my situation,
00:22:08.020 yeah?
00:22:08.140 And what I have walked through
00:22:09.440 in that situation,
00:22:10.860 right now I'm 33 years old,
00:22:12.480 yeah?
00:22:12.720 So it's different now.
00:22:13.580 Of course I can sit down,
00:22:14.420 I work with,
00:22:14.880 I work in the community,
00:22:16.280 but at that age,
00:22:17.460 yeah?
00:22:18.300 That young age,
00:22:19.220 I am a child.
00:22:20.520 I can't even open a bank account
00:22:22.400 on my own,
00:22:23.700 yeah?
00:22:24.000 And you're telling me
00:22:24.720 I am selfish.
00:22:26.060 At 17 you can.
00:22:26.940 I am selfish.
00:22:27.360 At 17 you can have a bank account.
00:22:28.740 Well,
00:22:28.960 whatever you can't do,
00:22:30.300 illegally,
00:22:31.400 under 18.
00:22:32.320 people don't have that education.
00:22:33.920 At 17 you don't know
00:22:35.120 you can open a bank.
00:22:35.780 You're trying to,
00:22:36.460 you're trying to,
00:22:37.220 you're trying to make jokes,
00:22:38.920 and you're trying to interject,
00:22:40.080 and you're trying to,
00:22:40.680 I'm not making jokes.
00:22:41.200 Diverge from something
00:22:42.180 that is very,
00:22:42.840 very important,
00:22:43.380 and a lot of young women
00:22:45.180 have experienced it.
00:22:46.220 Okay, okay, okay.
00:22:46.640 Have you gone through SA?
00:22:48.480 No, no, no, no.
00:22:49.520 Okay,
00:22:49.700 you asked me the question first,
00:22:51.240 and then you go on this rant.
00:22:53.640 I did go on a rant,
00:22:55.020 because I felt like it.
00:22:56.140 Sorry to her.
00:22:57.380 Okay,
00:22:57.920 do I think that's selfish?
00:22:58.860 Yes.
00:22:59.260 Yeah.
00:22:59.400 Because then other girls
00:23:00.760 have to deal with it.
00:23:02.380 Like,
00:23:02.580 I just think,
00:23:03.580 if something happened to me
00:23:04.900 that was so traumatizing,
00:23:06.260 like,
00:23:06.520 I wouldn't want other girls
00:23:07.600 to go through that.
00:23:08.820 You're,
00:23:09.220 like,
00:23:09.520 basically,
00:23:10.080 I can't,
00:23:10.720 I can't judge other people.
00:23:12.540 You can say what you want
00:23:13.540 and feel what you want,
00:23:14.400 yeah,
00:23:14.520 and have your opinion,
00:23:15.220 and that doesn't mean
00:23:16.040 that much to me,
00:23:17.340 because you don't know
00:23:19.380 what people go through.
00:23:20.860 What your capacity is,
00:23:22.800 at 17,
00:23:23.540 I don't know if you went through
00:23:24.480 your experiences at that age,
00:23:25.920 and if you was living
00:23:26.720 in a hostel at that age,
00:23:27.740 and if you had gone through
00:23:28.720 what I had gone through,
00:23:29.400 at that age,
00:23:30.740 yeah,
00:23:30.840 we're different people.
00:23:31.820 Do you understand
00:23:32.020 what I'm saying to you?
00:23:32.920 Yeah,
00:23:33.320 I know we're different people.
00:23:34.900 We're different people,
00:23:35.660 so that's what I'm saying.
00:23:36.220 You might have the capacity,
00:23:37.600 you might have the support,
00:23:38.440 you might be living at home,
00:23:39.280 you might have your mum
00:23:39.860 to rub your back
00:23:40.560 at the police station.
00:23:41.920 I wasn't in that situation.
00:23:43.440 So,
00:23:43.860 there are many people
00:23:45.120 that are experiencing things,
00:23:46.700 and I haven't got no judgment for you.
00:23:48.320 Do what you can do,
00:23:49.360 because why is it up to the victims
00:23:50.980 to find,
00:23:52.380 and look down,
00:23:53.060 you know,
00:23:53.260 as a child,
00:23:54.380 to build up a case
00:23:56.860 against these people?
00:23:58.060 When you have the capacity,
00:23:59.460 yes,
00:24:00.080 I encourage,
00:24:01.960 I support,
00:24:02.900 but find an organisation.
00:24:03.900 If you don't think
00:24:04.620 you can do it on your own,
00:24:05.760 if you are unsure,
00:24:07.260 get the support that you need.
00:24:08.600 The main thing is
00:24:09.300 that you have got support
00:24:10.500 to get through the trauma
00:24:11.660 of varying,
00:24:12.800 yes,
00:24:13.120 you get your brum
00:24:13.740 grabbed at a nightclub,
00:24:14.660 but there's varying
00:24:15.320 different traumas
00:24:17.040 and levels of SA.
00:24:17.340 There's an organisation,
00:24:18.000 it's called the police,
00:24:18.760 so listen to this,
00:24:19.300 I've just listened to you.
00:24:20.080 The police?
00:24:20.600 No,
00:24:20.860 no,
00:24:21.040 sorry,
00:24:21.340 can I talk,
00:24:21.960 because I've just listened to you.
00:24:22.760 I have scars on me
00:24:23.860 from the police,
00:24:24.560 so why am I going to go to them
00:24:25.800 when I'm being a police?
00:24:26.680 So what you're doing now is,
00:24:27.640 we've let you speak,
00:24:29.340 we've let you tell your story,
00:24:30.440 we've let you tell your passion,
00:24:31.620 but,
00:24:32.180 I'm sorry,
00:24:32.780 but the world doesn't owe
00:24:33.660 any one of us understanding.
00:24:34.920 Lots of people are going
00:24:35.780 through lots of things.
00:24:36.800 End of the day,
00:24:37.340 it's very selfish for you
00:24:38.300 to be assaulted by a man
00:24:39.380 or whatever you said,
00:24:40.700 and he's 40 years harassed
00:24:42.040 or whatever it is,
00:24:42.780 but it's made you feel
00:24:44.020 this strongly about it,
00:24:45.260 it's gone into your life
00:24:46.020 and it's obviously followed you.
00:24:47.540 You have let this man
00:24:48.780 go into the world
00:24:49.580 and possibly do it
00:24:50.520 to many other women before.
00:24:51.580 This is like knowing a man
00:24:52.780 is actually like a...
00:24:54.220 For example,
00:24:55.160 if someone touched kids
00:24:56.200 and you knew they did that
00:24:57.720 and you never...
00:24:58.640 I was a kid.
00:24:59.100 No, wait, hold on.
00:24:59.920 No, you wasn't,
00:25:00.360 you're 17.
00:25:00.880 Let's not do this.
00:25:01.440 Please stop being too much.
00:25:02.440 No, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen.
00:25:03.980 Technically.
00:25:04.920 Okay, so if you're going
00:25:05.720 to keep doing this,
00:25:06.780 then we're not going
00:25:07.340 to be able to get off
00:25:08.000 because basically,
00:25:08.900 you said to me,
00:25:09.440 at 17,
00:25:10.300 you can open a bank account.
00:25:11.200 You can open a bank account
00:25:12.100 at like 11 years old.
00:25:13.220 What tends to happen is,
00:25:14.500 a lot of people come over here
00:25:15.620 and they're trying to act like,
00:25:16.640 oh, when I wasn't an adult,
00:25:18.420 at 17,
00:25:19.020 you knew right from wrong.
00:25:20.200 End of the day,
00:25:20.780 if you had any family,
00:25:21.900 any people around you,
00:25:22.820 if you didn't,
00:25:23.560 cool,
00:25:23.720 dude,
00:25:23.840 it's a scenario,
00:25:24.360 I understand that,
00:25:24.940 but you have the police there.
00:25:26.180 You cannot come into a platform
00:25:27.260 and be this fluid
00:25:28.300 and be this articulate
00:25:29.420 and challenge Pearl
00:25:30.260 and say to myself,
00:25:31.160 oh, you know what?
00:25:31.620 I couldn't go to the police.
00:25:32.640 There's nobody around.
00:25:33.380 The police is there.
00:25:34.080 Then you say to me,
00:25:35.000 okay, I got attacked by the police.
00:25:36.200 Okay, so you don't have...
00:25:37.360 Or whatever it is you say...
00:25:38.100 I've got scars on me from the police.
00:25:38.640 Okay, cool.
00:25:39.240 So why am I going to go to the police?
00:25:40.880 Okay, okay, so now...
00:25:41.960 Who at 15 have assaulted me.
00:25:44.140 Okay, cool.
00:25:44.560 So now we can't go to the police, right?
00:25:46.260 So you don't have...
00:25:46.520 So who do we go to?
00:25:47.620 I'm just discovering...
00:25:48.500 Who do we report it to?
00:25:49.720 I'm just discovering...
00:25:50.620 My manager.
00:25:51.160 Who do we report?
00:25:51.680 I'm asking you.
00:25:52.260 You're telling me
00:25:52.580 you can't go to the police.
00:25:53.480 Most people can go to the police,
00:25:54.400 but you're saying to me,
00:25:55.020 so I don't have to take this on board.
00:25:56.360 Do you have...
00:25:57.580 Would you like to see the scars?
00:25:58.980 See, what you're doing is, yeah...
00:26:00.320 Because he said he don't believe
00:26:01.200 if you haven't reported.
00:26:02.180 Do you get what I'm saying?
00:26:02.700 What you're saying is very...
00:26:03.640 No, no, no, no.
00:26:04.540 Hold on a second.
00:26:05.120 Hold on a second.
00:26:05.540 Alex's coming.
00:26:05.940 No, no, no.
00:26:06.400 Because this man is...
00:26:06.880 No, no, no.
00:26:07.180 Because what...
00:26:07.540 You're not letting me finish.
00:26:09.820 You're not letting me finish.
00:26:10.920 Land, land, land.
00:26:11.220 And the reason you're not letting me finish
00:26:12.440 is because the moment I do,
00:26:13.540 you don't have nothing to push back on.
00:26:14.980 You just really...
00:26:15.760 Talk, big man.
00:26:16.580 Talk, talk, talk.
00:26:17.300 Let me hear what you're going to say.
00:26:18.200 Okay, okay.
00:26:18.540 Come on.
00:26:19.000 Can I present something a second?
00:26:20.500 One second.
00:26:20.800 You know what it is?
00:26:22.120 Guys, guys, guys.
00:26:23.260 Let him finish.
00:26:24.220 Because the thing is, yeah,
00:26:25.000 we're not going to be able
00:26:25.580 to have a conversation
00:26:26.260 if you keep doing this
00:26:27.240 because you keep getting triggered.
00:26:28.300 Why are you getting so triggered?
00:26:29.740 It gets like that.
00:26:30.380 No, if this is trauma,
00:26:31.260 let's not talk about it
00:26:32.040 because you're getting very triggered by it
00:26:33.260 and you don't have to speak about it.
00:26:34.540 If this is causing you trauma
00:26:35.720 because we can't even have a conversation,
00:26:37.440 in order for me to have a conversation,
00:26:39.060 we're going to have to ask you some questions.
00:26:40.240 We're going to have to diverge.
00:26:41.180 And every time I do,
00:26:42.440 you get triggered and you interrupt me.
00:26:43.600 So I don't want to do it
00:26:44.600 if we can't do it, Pearl.
00:26:45.420 There's no point.
00:26:46.100 Say what you have to say.
00:26:47.060 You said you're going to land.
00:26:47.800 Is that what you have to say?
00:26:49.300 Is that what you have to say?
00:26:50.000 No, Alex, take it, take it, take it.
00:26:51.420 Okay, that's what I thought.
00:26:52.500 All right, let me present something to you, Steph, yeah?
00:26:55.140 Yes, Alex.
00:26:55.760 For the rest of us to just listen to.
00:26:59.300 So, Steph, let's say you could,
00:27:01.920 you were looking right now at 17-year-old girl
00:27:05.660 who has just experienced,
00:27:08.560 you're a fly on the wall,
00:27:10.040 you see a 17-year-old girl
00:27:11.440 who's just experienced what you went through
00:27:13.440 with the police,
00:27:16.420 with those situations.
00:27:19.520 What, right now, sitting here now,
00:27:21.560 what do you think are the steps
00:27:23.540 that that 17-year-old girl should take?
00:27:26.360 I'd like to hear from the rest of the panel.
00:27:28.020 I've heard from two men.
00:27:29.620 No, don't do that.
00:27:30.500 Don't do that.
00:27:32.300 Don't do that, man.
00:27:33.300 I'm asking.
00:27:33.760 Don't do that.
00:27:34.120 I'm asking.
00:27:34.960 I'm asking.
00:27:36.160 He's asking you a question.
00:27:37.760 Yeah, I'm asking you directly.
00:27:40.280 My advice and my concern
00:27:42.460 is for her mental health
00:27:45.820 and that she is supported.
00:27:47.600 So my priority over speaking to the police,
00:27:50.740 which I think is the best course of action
00:27:53.140 if she feels able to do so,
00:27:54.980 is to make sure that somebody she trusts,
00:27:58.220 whether it's a member of her family,
00:27:59.880 whether it's a friend,
00:28:01.320 whoever is aware of her situation
00:28:03.240 because if she's feeling low,
00:28:05.940 if, you know what I mean,
00:28:06.640 that's my concern.
00:28:07.780 You don't think...
00:28:07.960 My general concern.
00:28:09.160 You don't think the number one concern
00:28:10.600 would be to stop it from happening again?
00:28:12.840 Because it happened to her.
00:28:14.840 So now it could happen to 10 girls
00:28:16.420 or it could happen to one girl.
00:28:18.080 I think it's a point of view situation
00:28:20.180 that we're not going on.
00:28:21.200 I was going to say like...
00:28:21.900 It's someone coming from trauma
00:28:23.400 and someone coming from stoicism.
00:28:25.460 So it's two completely different point of views
00:28:27.660 that don't interject.
00:28:29.260 So I get what you're saying
00:28:30.720 in the sense that,
00:28:32.140 say it with your chest, right?
00:28:34.120 Those things happened to you.
00:28:35.180 They were awful.
00:28:36.020 I'm very sorry.
00:28:36.960 But your statistic is...
00:28:38.900 You're coming at her with maths.
00:28:40.180 Your maths is off, right?
00:28:41.200 And she's saying these things happened to me.
00:28:42.840 So obviously there's going to be
00:28:44.000 a complete non...
00:28:46.700 Can I just stop you for a second?
00:28:47.500 I'll let you go on.
00:28:48.140 You know what it is?
00:28:48.780 I've come on this platform before.
00:28:49.940 I have three sisters.
00:28:50.940 I have four nieces.
00:28:52.560 Like, I am very...
00:28:53.780 I've just been spending a whole day
00:28:54.800 with my niece.
00:28:55.180 You can look at my story
00:28:55.860 playing with them, yeah?
00:28:56.740 I have a very good relationship
00:28:58.020 with my younger sister
00:28:58.700 and we speak about a lot of things.
00:29:00.560 So if you said you never...
00:29:02.600 If you don't have people around you
00:29:04.120 and you can't go to the police,
00:29:05.320 then I'm more concerned
00:29:06.600 that there's men around here
00:29:07.680 and doing things to women
00:29:08.640 because I keep hearing this
00:29:09.680 and this is not how I was raised.
00:29:11.100 So I'm like,
00:29:11.560 what can we do to stop this?
00:29:13.640 And whenever I...
00:29:14.120 But whenever I try to speak
00:29:16.300 about what can we do to stop this
00:29:17.560 or what can we do
00:29:18.200 to at least bring more awareness to this?
00:29:19.620 It just goes round and round and round.
00:29:21.520 A suggestion of what people can do
00:29:22.880 to stop this is perhaps,
00:29:24.580 okay, right,
00:29:25.120 something's awful has happened to you.
00:29:26.880 You don't feel like you can say it, right?
00:29:29.720 You don't feel like you have
00:29:30.980 that safe space to say it.
00:29:32.500 So you hold on to it.
00:29:33.560 It becomes an internal trauma
00:29:35.120 and then when someone mentioned it to you,
00:29:37.160 you fly off the handle.
00:29:38.340 That's how most people
00:29:39.280 handle these situations.
00:29:40.340 But what you're saying is,
00:29:41.920 what can I do?
00:29:42.660 So when someone flies off the handle,
00:29:44.620 yeah,
00:29:44.840 don't come up with them with maths.
00:29:47.000 Come at them from,
00:29:47.940 I understand that you're,
00:29:51.700 this reaction comes from
00:29:53.380 a place of fear and anger.
00:29:54.900 You're asking him
00:29:55.560 to communicate like a woman,
00:29:56.920 he's a man.
00:29:57.960 No, no, no.
00:29:58.660 In fact,
00:29:59.120 I'm asking him
00:29:59.760 to just communicate with me.
00:30:01.680 No, you're asking him
00:30:03.200 to communicate like a woman.
00:30:04.300 You're putting different variances
00:30:06.080 on the word.
00:30:06.780 Let me, let me,
00:30:07.280 sorry, sorry,
00:30:07.780 one second.
00:30:08.360 Again, we come to the dichotomy of words.
00:30:10.860 One second.
00:30:11.820 I think this is interesting.
00:30:13.320 It goes back to macho-ness
00:30:14.540 and like, you know,
00:30:15.680 dominance of men
00:30:16.800 over paro-women.
00:30:18.040 Toxic masculinity.
00:30:19.580 If you can't speak
00:30:20.260 in a, you know,
00:30:21.320 in a very subtle manner
00:30:22.720 or you can't divert
00:30:23.740 your vocabulary.
00:30:24.780 Alex, Alex,
00:30:25.280 you're going to jump in after me,
00:30:26.280 but hold on a second,
00:30:27.020 what you're doing is what?
00:30:28.100 See, okay,
00:30:28.700 so you're doing tone police
00:30:30.080 and we get this
00:30:30.680 every single week.
00:30:31.720 No, because you've literally
00:30:32.840 just done what the girl did
00:30:33.820 the last week
00:30:34.400 and the girl did the last week.
00:30:35.380 If you go look at my story
00:30:36.380 on TikTok,
00:30:36.860 it's going viral.
00:30:37.840 Every single time
00:30:38.980 a man speaks,
00:30:40.060 I have a woman.
00:30:40.700 No, it's every time
00:30:41.120 a man makes a point.
00:30:42.400 It's every time
00:30:43.060 a man makes a point,
00:30:43.980 now it's your tone.
00:30:44.680 So, hold on.
00:30:45.620 I wasn't even trying to...
00:30:46.320 No, no, but what I'm trying to...
00:30:47.160 Let me come in.
00:30:48.080 Alex, let me just say,
00:30:48.860 and you can just literally
00:30:49.480 come after me.
00:30:50.120 Po, we'll let you go.
00:30:50.920 But the reason I want to speak
00:30:51.900 about this,
00:30:52.300 because men, we speak direct.
00:30:53.520 We are not women.
00:30:54.680 I understand that.
00:30:55.440 Okay, so we have
00:30:56.080 a different vocal tone.
00:30:57.280 We have a different base in it, right?
00:31:03.820 I'm going around
00:31:04.320 to get to the bottom of something.
00:31:05.480 I completely understand
00:31:06.340 what you're saying,
00:31:06.980 but when you speak
00:31:07.600 about men's tone,
00:31:08.860 we are not women.
00:31:10.580 And you don't want us
00:31:11.380 to be women.
00:31:11.920 That's the point
00:31:12.380 that I was making.
00:31:13.020 I thought you didn't understand
00:31:14.900 what I was trying to say.
00:31:16.320 Pearl was saying that
00:31:17.020 she was basically
00:31:17.760 trying to make you speak
00:31:18.580 as if you was a female
00:31:19.440 and that's something
00:31:19.840 you can't do.
00:31:20.600 Okay, cool, cool.
00:31:21.300 That's part of it,
00:31:22.240 is the reason of this whole topic,
00:31:24.140 which is men harassment
00:31:25.640 within the workplace
00:31:26.820 and what we were saying
00:31:27.500 about how men can come across
00:31:28.820 towards women
00:31:29.540 when we are in a situation.
00:31:30.520 Do you think,
00:31:31.100 Alex, you'll just take this for me.
00:31:32.240 You can't...
00:31:33.200 What's the word?
00:31:34.040 You can't adapt.
00:31:37.480 That's the word I'm looking for.
00:31:38.060 Do you feel I'm not
00:31:38.560 being sensitive to her?
00:31:39.620 No, it's adapting.
00:31:41.140 Adaptation.
00:31:41.600 You can't adapt.
00:31:42.220 You're not even choosing
00:31:42.760 to be on a level
00:31:43.860 to be like,
00:31:44.440 let me try and work out.
00:31:46.100 No one's telling you
00:31:46.460 to be a female
00:31:46.860 because physically you can't be.
00:31:48.020 We understand that,
00:31:48.860 but there's a part of your brain
00:31:49.880 that can click
00:31:50.580 and try and understand
00:31:52.000 how to come across
00:31:53.800 a bit subtle towards a female.
00:31:55.440 What you want me to do...
00:31:57.240 Diversity is the key.
00:31:58.300 What you want me to do...
00:32:00.200 Centralise.
00:32:01.060 I'm trying to say
00:32:01.680 you should talk in a tone.
00:32:02.480 No, because basically
00:32:03.540 what you want me to do
00:32:04.440 is you want me to basically
00:32:05.680 tiptoe around this whole...
00:32:06.920 I don't want you to.
00:32:07.220 No, because basically
00:32:08.020 all I've done is
00:32:08.920 simply ask her a question.
00:32:10.340 I've listened to what you've said.
00:32:11.440 I've asked you,
00:32:11.900 why didn't you report it?
00:32:12.780 You've told me
00:32:13.100 you couldn't go to the police.
00:32:13.860 You've told me you've got scars.
00:32:14.820 You've told me
00:32:15.280 all the different things, yeah?
00:32:16.580 Cool.
00:32:16.880 But if there's...
00:32:17.800 My concern is
00:32:18.780 is that when this happens,
00:32:20.440 women don't
00:32:21.040 and there's men
00:32:21.540 that's walking around
00:32:22.300 and it's continuing
00:32:22.720 to happen to.
00:32:23.300 So when I say,
00:32:24.000 what can we do?
00:32:25.240 Yeah,
00:32:25.440 because with the girl
00:32:25.960 in your situation now
00:32:26.860 and she hasn't got brothers,
00:32:32.480 someone just gave you
00:32:33.580 an example of what you can do.
00:32:38.020 Someone just gave you
00:32:38.880 an example of what you can do.
00:32:39.720 As a man,
00:32:40.260 what you could do
00:32:40.880 for a woman
00:32:41.720 or a young girl
00:32:42.480 in that situation.
00:32:43.720 Someone else is giving you
00:32:44.620 an example of what you can do.
00:32:45.960 I was asked what I'd advise
00:32:47.260 other young people
00:32:48.180 in this situation to do.
00:32:50.060 So if you are asking a question,
00:32:52.280 feel free to listen
00:32:53.240 to some options.
00:32:54.520 You don't have to take them on
00:32:55.480 as I think these are valid examples.
00:32:57.160 I'm listening.
00:32:58.040 There's even an advert on TV
00:32:59.260 that states exactly this
00:33:00.380 where it's like
00:33:00.880 a guy's in the park
00:33:02.240 with his friends.
00:33:02.900 A woman walks past,
00:33:03.960 a guy turns around
00:33:04.580 and starts rubbernecking.
00:33:05.580 Oh yeah, nice one.
00:33:07.460 Rubbernecking is like
00:33:08.140 a saying of when a guy
00:33:09.220 breaks his neck
00:33:10.140 to put jesters at a woman
00:33:11.480 or just throw things out.
00:33:12.900 Throw things out?
00:33:13.700 Yeah, throw things out verbally
00:33:14.880 like messages.
00:33:16.640 Oh, he catcalls.
00:33:20.280 There's so many different
00:33:21.180 terminologies
00:33:21.980 but rubbernecking
00:33:22.500 is a terminology.
00:33:23.580 Obviously,
00:33:23.820 catcalling is another terminology.
00:33:24.940 Wait,
00:33:25.480 what does the catcalling
00:33:26.320 have to do with them?
00:33:27.080 Catcalling is more
00:33:27.920 a vocalization
00:33:28.700 whereas the rubbernecking
00:33:29.700 is the turning of the neck.
00:33:30.940 Yeah, but it was both.
00:33:31.820 That's my point.
00:33:32.520 Oh, it's like when they're like,
00:33:33.240 damn.
00:33:33.420 Yes, that's what I'm trying to say.
00:33:35.160 Is that bad?
00:33:36.840 No, I'm trying to land.
00:33:38.660 I'm just asking.
00:33:39.340 Not necessarily that's a bad
00:33:40.400 or a good thing
00:33:40.900 but the point I'm trying to make
00:33:41.780 is the advert was stating
00:33:43.020 sexual harassment
00:33:43.760 and they were saying that
00:33:44.740 basically within that situation,
00:33:46.480 let me land quickly,
00:33:47.720 the guy turned around
00:33:48.620 and his friend basically
00:33:49.360 was like to him,
00:33:49.880 like, don't do that.
00:33:50.620 He stepped in
00:33:51.520 and allowed him to understand
00:33:53.020 that maybe that woman
00:33:53.760 might feel it's inappropriate.
00:33:54.660 Maybe to his mind,
00:33:55.760 he's just like,
00:33:56.260 oh, what's your number?
00:33:56.940 You look nice.
00:33:57.480 Them jeans look tight
00:33:58.520 or whatever he's going to say.
00:33:59.520 Do you feel that's SA?
00:34:00.380 To me personally,
00:34:01.680 I've got a bit of a stronger
00:34:03.260 exterior and interior
00:34:04.420 so those things
00:34:05.800 don't really faze me
00:34:06.440 depending on how I'm approached.
00:34:07.780 So for myself, no.
00:34:08.760 But for another woman
00:34:09.440 that's a bit more fragile
00:34:10.520 than me, a bit less.
00:34:11.220 Do you think that's confusing
00:34:12.460 for men?
00:34:13.220 It can be at times
00:34:14.120 but some women accept that.
00:34:15.220 Like even with the workplace,
00:34:16.440 the number one,
00:34:17.220 before dating apps,
00:34:19.060 the number one place
00:34:20.300 that people would meet
00:34:21.140 was work.
00:34:22.200 So it's kind of confusing
00:34:23.540 because sometimes
00:34:24.740 girls are into it
00:34:27.440 when their bosses
00:34:28.000 hit on them.
00:34:28.640 This is the thing.
00:34:29.220 And like another times
00:34:30.200 like girls actively
00:34:31.160 seek out their bosses
00:34:32.160 and try to sleep with them.
00:34:34.120 But is it not about
00:34:35.040 reading the room?
00:34:36.380 Women are different.
00:34:37.300 Read the room.
00:34:38.100 Yeah.
00:34:38.740 What do you mean?
00:34:39.780 Like for example,
00:34:40.920 if there's a female
00:34:42.040 who's interested in her boss,
00:34:43.720 that's different to a female
00:34:44.820 who the male manager
00:34:46.420 needs to read the room
00:34:47.420 that that colleague
00:34:48.800 is not interested.
00:34:49.720 Do you think girls
00:34:50.380 ever give mixed signals
00:34:52.480 or flirt for attention?
00:34:54.600 Yes, we definitely do.
00:34:55.380 I don't know.
00:34:56.220 Who said we definitely?
00:34:58.200 So do you think
00:34:58.720 that's confusing for men?
00:35:00.300 I feel like women
00:35:01.740 have sexual appeal.
00:35:04.040 Like we have sexual attractions
00:35:05.020 that we can, you know,
00:35:06.380 sometimes put out
00:35:07.200 consciously or unconsciously
00:35:08.600 to male counterparts
00:35:09.580 and they can take it
00:35:10.960 upon themselves
00:35:11.500 to decide whether
00:35:12.200 it's deliberate
00:35:12.640 or, you know,
00:35:13.760 she just accidentally
00:35:14.800 walked past me
00:35:15.400 and her bum was shaking.
00:35:16.660 Was she shaking her bum
00:35:17.720 when she was walking past me?
00:35:18.540 Right, but I'm saying
00:35:19.260 like one girl,
00:35:20.760 you know,
00:35:21.060 he might turn and say,
00:35:22.080 damn,
00:35:22.360 and one girl might think
00:35:23.380 that's disgusting
00:35:24.180 and be traumatized
00:35:25.580 and one girl might be like,
00:35:26.980 okay, you know,
00:35:27.820 and so you don't think
00:35:28.660 that's confusing for men?
00:35:29.680 It can be,
00:35:30.240 but I feel like
00:35:30.620 that's where you then
00:35:31.320 break the ice
00:35:31.860 with vocalization.
00:35:33.640 You start vocalizing
00:35:34.260 like, rather,
00:35:34.780 do you, you know,
00:35:36.140 do you feel comfortable
00:35:36.860 with what I'm saying?
00:35:37.440 Or, you know,
00:35:37.720 you try to break the ice.
00:35:38.480 Some guys don't tend
00:35:39.680 to go into it.
00:35:40.360 They just keep it
00:35:40.860 at that level of,
00:35:41.480 you know,
00:35:42.260 snappiness.
00:35:43.100 Like they're trying
00:35:43.480 to be charming
00:35:43.920 or witty
00:35:44.300 or whatever it is.
00:35:45.220 Where other guys
00:35:45.840 have a bit more context
00:35:46.640 to them,
00:35:46.980 they will be like,
00:35:47.700 you know,
00:35:47.940 I would like to speak to you
00:35:48.800 or, you know,
00:35:49.140 I thought that comment
00:35:50.100 would be, you know,
00:35:50.720 something that would
00:35:51.080 get your attention.
00:35:51.520 This is why I don't
00:35:52.260 move to girls.
00:35:52.820 I said it before
00:35:53.300 I said it to Cameron.
00:35:53.980 No, I don't.
00:35:54.720 No, I don't move to girls.
00:35:55.840 I haven't moved.
00:35:56.220 I haven't moved.
00:35:57.460 How do you meet me?
00:36:00.980 I'll tell you,
00:36:01.680 girls move to me.
00:36:02.560 How did you find
00:36:03.560 your girl?
00:36:04.060 No, so,
00:36:04.960 no, I'm being serious.
00:36:06.140 I'm not joking.
00:36:07.020 Girls move to me.
00:36:07.720 I haven't moved to girls
00:36:08.540 in the longest time.
00:36:09.680 How do you feel about that?
00:36:10.960 Do you feel like
00:36:11.240 you're being sexually harassed
00:36:12.100 or maybe put upon
00:36:12.940 moving to you?
00:36:14.140 How do they move to you?
00:36:14.760 Like, grab your thigh?
00:36:15.560 No, see,
00:36:16.360 I'm just wondering.
00:36:17.080 So when a man moves to you,
00:36:18.440 how does he grab your thigh?
00:36:19.320 And some guys
00:36:20.280 have done different
00:36:21.000 actions.
00:36:21.100 But that's not moving to you.
00:36:21.800 Everyone is different.
00:36:22.640 Is it not?
00:36:23.200 That might be in his mind.
00:36:24.300 That might be his level
00:36:25.240 of conversation to move to you.
00:36:26.080 Okay, okay.
00:36:26.400 I think if you don't know
00:36:27.700 how to approach someone,
00:36:28.700 if you have to,
00:36:29.140 if I move up to a girl,
00:36:30.420 I don't know
00:36:30.780 and I'll grab her thigh,
00:36:31.680 what do you think
00:36:32.040 is going to happen to me?
00:36:32.700 We're just speaking about this.
00:36:33.480 So let's just take that away.
00:36:34.780 If you allow...
00:36:35.320 But Carl just said
00:36:35.900 a girl might accept that
00:36:36.880 and another girl might not.
00:36:37.660 No, but no man should be...
00:36:38.960 No man...
00:36:39.520 Okay, guys,
00:36:40.100 let me put in the camera.
00:36:41.020 They're over set the mark.
00:36:41.900 So when you say guys do,
00:36:43.340 it's some guys,
00:36:44.580 the guys you deal with.
00:36:45.520 I would never go...
00:36:46.100 No, I've never dealt
00:36:46.440 with a guy that's ever done that.
00:36:47.340 Okay, so then
00:36:47.900 who are we talking about?
00:36:49.660 I'm giving experiences
00:36:50.720 and obviously I've been
00:36:51.500 in this lifetime
00:36:52.560 for a while
00:36:53.320 to have experiences
00:36:54.220 and see things.
00:36:55.140 You know,
00:36:55.260 not necessarily
00:36:55.660 every experience
00:36:56.480 is my personal experience.
00:36:57.700 It might be a bad curious experience
00:36:58.660 through someone else's life,
00:36:59.560 you know?
00:37:00.040 But I think,
00:37:00.580 okay, so when we're talking
00:37:01.600 about experience,
00:37:02.260 let's try and keep
00:37:02.820 to what we know
00:37:03.680 and what's happened to us.
00:37:04.620 What I know is that
00:37:05.100 men are very forward
00:37:05.980 and at times
00:37:06.760 when they're being forward
00:37:07.320 they're not thinking.
00:37:07.960 Some men...
00:37:08.600 I can only talk of men
00:37:09.460 as a species.
00:37:11.220 No, because when I say,
00:37:12.700 okay, for example,
00:37:13.280 when we say women,
00:37:13.900 we say modern women
00:37:14.680 because we're not speaking
00:37:15.300 about all women.
00:37:16.040 And when we speak...
00:37:16.520 Well, modern men,
00:37:17.600 a lot of modern men
00:37:18.340 are very forward,
00:37:19.120 especially with the lifestyle
00:37:20.380 and living
00:37:20.760 that has been accommodated
00:37:22.140 these days.
00:37:22.820 They're very forward
00:37:23.480 with their personas,
00:37:25.560 should I say,
00:37:25.920 the way they want to move.
00:37:26.840 And I feel like
00:37:27.460 they have to uphold
00:37:28.180 a certain level
00:37:29.460 of interaction
00:37:30.540 to make it
00:37:31.600 make sense in their minds.
00:37:32.520 Not necessarily
00:37:32.880 that it needs to make sense
00:37:33.520 in the actual physicality.
00:37:35.240 In their minds,
00:37:35.800 it looks good.
00:37:36.420 Okay, so let me get back
00:37:37.380 to when I was talking
00:37:37.920 about I'm not moving to girls.
00:37:39.200 So, especially with
00:37:39.920 the whole Me Too movement,
00:37:40.960 yeah, what's happening
00:37:41.760 now is, yeah,
00:37:42.680 like this is...
00:37:43.340 I've always been this way
00:37:44.400 before, but I'm going
00:37:45.340 to say to men,
00:37:45.920 the reason why...
00:37:47.140 So, we don't know
00:37:48.380 what...
00:37:48.900 For one woman,
00:37:49.720 it's okay to, you know,
00:37:51.040 pull up on and say,
00:37:51.780 do the whole Chris Brown thing,
00:37:52.940 excuse me, miss...
00:37:53.560 Yeah, the whole 90s R&B,
00:37:55.600 like pull up on the car.
00:37:57.020 It might be cute.
00:37:57.400 It might be cute for you.
00:37:58.640 For another woman,
00:37:59.580 it might be a red flag.
00:38:00.720 It might trigger trauma, right?
00:38:02.240 So, it's pretty safe
00:38:03.780 for me to say that
00:38:04.600 if you want a man
00:38:05.800 to come up to you,
00:38:06.700 and this is what women
00:38:07.260 used to do of old,
00:38:07.980 you would let a man know.
00:38:08.800 There's a lot of ways
00:38:09.540 that a woman can let a man know
00:38:10.780 that she wants him
00:38:11.600 to come up to us.
00:38:12.260 She can...
00:38:12.640 You know, you...
00:38:13.320 Listen, we have all these women here.
00:38:14.640 I'm sure if you want
00:38:15.280 to let a man know
00:38:15.960 to approach you,
00:38:16.520 you know how to do it.
00:38:17.480 Women have been doing this forever, right?
00:38:18.720 You can look at a man,
00:38:19.760 you can smile at a man,
00:38:20.820 you can wink,
00:38:21.120 you can even walk past him
00:38:22.060 and drop something
00:38:22.600 and make him pick it up
00:38:23.360 and make him come to get it
00:38:24.300 and then you can do that, right?
00:38:25.800 Women know how to make
00:38:26.920 a man know to approach you.
00:38:27.720 That's the difference between
00:38:28.480 a random girl walking past me
00:38:30.200 and me trying to grab up her arm
00:38:31.220 and say, excuse me.
00:38:31.900 She's like, who are you?
00:38:32.680 She's going about her business.
00:38:34.280 It's called yes and no.
00:38:36.040 What do you mean?
00:38:36.420 It's a simple yes and no.
00:38:37.760 What do you mean?
00:38:38.400 What do you mean?
00:38:38.900 What do I mean?
00:38:39.960 You're saying that a woman
00:38:41.060 lets you know
00:38:41.800 whether she's interested.
00:38:42.540 Yes, yo, come.
00:38:44.120 No, I'm not interested.
00:38:45.200 It's a simple yes or no.
00:38:46.180 No, no.
00:38:46.460 So, as a woman, yeah,
00:38:48.000 as a woman,
00:38:48.540 I don't even have to get to that point.
00:38:49.760 I don't have to approach you.
00:38:50.960 You can literally look at me
00:38:52.020 and if you look at me
00:38:53.280 in a way that you want me to...
00:38:54.020 Okay, so if I give you
00:38:54.280 a look right now,
00:38:55.000 that makes you feel like I like you,
00:38:56.120 what's happening?
00:38:57.020 I'll approach you.
00:38:58.180 Approach me how?
00:38:59.060 What do you mean?
00:38:59.280 What's your approach?
00:38:59.960 What I said, what's your approach?
00:39:01.340 I've winked at you.
00:39:02.300 I don't know.
00:39:02.660 I start licking my lips.
00:39:03.680 I don't know.
00:39:04.000 I'll be like, I'll be like,
00:39:04.640 I'll be like,
00:39:05.420 do you need some Vaseline?
00:39:07.320 Clearly, I've already got gloss,
00:39:08.360 so is that what I'm saying?
00:39:08.900 No, but you're licking your...
00:39:09.980 No, no, no.
00:39:11.620 You asked me.
00:39:12.180 No, you stop.
00:39:12.720 Stop it.
00:39:13.140 Stop it.
00:39:13.420 I feel I'm scared.
00:39:14.120 No, no, no.
00:39:16.180 Pearl, hold on.
00:39:17.040 Hold on a second.
00:39:17.820 We're not on the original topic.
00:39:20.160 We need to move on.
00:39:20.920 Okay.
00:39:21.380 Okay, so what about you?
00:39:23.860 With...
00:39:24.180 Oh, wait, no.
00:39:24.560 You were next.
00:39:25.220 You were next, right?
00:39:26.500 Did you go?
00:39:27.040 Because we're talking about...
00:39:28.320 Yeah, okay.
00:39:28.840 What is your overall experience
00:39:30.080 with female leadership
00:39:31.000 compared with male leadership
00:39:32.180 in your industry?
00:39:34.320 I'll be brief.
00:39:35.860 Ladiol.
00:39:38.460 That's how far we went off it.
00:39:39.860 I'll be brief.
00:39:40.340 So far.
00:39:41.000 Ow!
00:39:42.720 I've had both.
00:39:44.900 I enjoy men.
00:39:46.280 I personally respect men's decision-making.
00:39:48.920 It's quicker.
00:39:49.680 It's less layers.
00:39:50.980 It's less fuss.
00:39:52.540 I don't care if you can't do something
00:39:53.640 because you're on your period.
00:39:54.440 Let's move.
00:39:55.420 Thank you.
00:39:56.100 It's extremely exhausting
00:39:57.720 when, especially in a business place,
00:39:59.660 we need to make decisions quick
00:40:00.940 and we need to be innovative.
00:40:02.700 So with women,
00:40:03.900 I'm not saying they're not these things,
00:40:05.040 but it takes them longer
00:40:05.760 to make that decision to be innovative.
00:40:07.520 It takes them longer to make a decision.
00:40:09.100 The decision keeps changing.
00:40:11.280 I'm not saying men
00:40:12.100 and don't have that capacity,
00:40:13.240 but that capacity seems to be shorter,
00:40:15.100 which is what I enjoy more.
00:40:17.860 I've experienced...
00:40:19.740 Do you feel that way about yourself?
00:40:21.520 What do you mean?
00:40:22.140 What you just said about women leaders.
00:40:24.200 Yeah, I wouldn't...
00:40:25.740 Yep.
00:40:26.140 I wouldn't want to...
00:40:27.740 I would be my own boss
00:40:29.460 if I had to...
00:40:30.860 So much.
00:40:31.940 If I had to lead,
00:40:34.460 I would prefer a male boss.
00:40:36.460 That's just me.
00:40:38.420 Like, I'm just like,
00:40:39.620 I do what I do.
00:40:40.800 You do what you do.
00:40:41.740 I agree with you.
00:40:42.500 I just think they're better at it.
00:40:43.620 Yeah, I just prefer my feminine power
00:40:46.480 to be...
00:40:47.720 I feel like they need me
00:40:48.840 and I need them.
00:40:50.180 I don't even...
00:40:51.320 Just because his title is more,
00:40:53.640 I'm like...
00:40:54.900 I'm the underdog.
00:40:55.900 He can't do nothing without me.
00:40:57.500 Okay?
00:40:58.160 This man needs me.
00:40:59.340 Men need women.
00:41:03.080 I'm so confident in that fact
00:41:04.700 of men needing women.
00:41:06.220 I'm chilled.
00:41:07.200 Women need men.
00:41:08.580 I'm chilled.
00:41:09.780 Like, cool.
00:41:10.820 If you need to have...
00:41:11.780 Have the title, darling.
00:41:13.360 I don't mind.
00:41:14.460 Is money coming in?
00:41:16.840 Love it.
00:41:17.560 I've had inappropriate on both ends,
00:41:20.120 male and female.
00:41:21.280 The female inappropriateness
00:41:22.700 was the bullying,
00:41:24.460 the patronising,
00:41:26.120 the being weird with other people
00:41:28.060 and the gossiping.
00:41:29.000 That's what I didn't like.
00:41:30.220 There was a lack of integrity.
00:41:31.760 Like, why are you spreading
00:41:32.780 these beautiful girls' business?
00:41:34.700 Isn't that mad?
00:41:35.400 80% of bullying is from women?
00:41:38.260 I believe it.
00:41:39.040 When I heard the statistics,
00:41:40.080 it made sense to me.
00:41:41.640 That's over 60,000...
00:41:43.160 Like, 60,000 people took that.
00:41:44.960 I believe that.
00:41:45.700 I genuinely believe that.
00:41:47.000 They just be weird.
00:41:49.600 But inappropriate with the men,
00:41:51.280 it's been flirting.
00:41:52.380 Or sometimes it's just...
00:41:54.040 The inappropriateness for me
00:41:55.400 is you're really chilling,
00:41:57.460 like, scratching your balls
00:41:58.960 at the top
00:41:59.580 because you're like,
00:42:00.820 I'm the man sort of thing.
00:42:02.160 And I feel like that's inappropriate.
00:42:03.520 What do you mean chilling,
00:42:04.860 scratching their...
00:42:05.520 People at the top work like 80...
00:42:07.520 Like, my dad is one of those CEOs.
00:42:09.860 He works 80 hours a week
00:42:10.900 my whole life.
00:42:11.640 And respect to your dad,
00:42:12.940 but that's your dad.
00:42:14.620 Some people get to the top
00:42:15.980 and start chilling
00:42:17.680 and they just...
00:42:18.940 Like, I'm not saying
00:42:19.560 your job isn't to chill
00:42:20.700 because you've worked your way.
00:42:21.680 It should be smarter,
00:42:22.580 not harder at that point.
00:42:23.540 But I mean,
00:42:24.480 scratching their balls
00:42:25.260 is like taking a way
00:42:26.800 too relaxed approach.
00:42:28.700 Do you know these men?
00:42:29.960 And like the 1%,
00:42:31.300 2%, 3%?
00:42:32.760 What do you mean?
00:42:33.420 Like, do you know them personally?
00:42:35.160 Yeah, I've worked for just like two.
00:42:37.140 But the inappropriateness was like,
00:42:38.300 one was really relaxed
00:42:39.220 and just taking drugs.
00:42:40.920 Like, drugs.
00:42:41.720 Oh, yeah, drugs are ready.
00:42:42.900 You're going in, buddy.
00:42:45.080 Like, hello.
00:42:46.280 We have a restaurant to run.
00:42:48.780 Hello.
00:42:49.480 And because he's the boss
00:42:50.720 and he's at the top,
00:42:51.640 where I find women to be
00:42:53.420 not more scared,
00:42:54.280 but they would think
00:42:54.980 in way more layers
00:42:56.100 than to do that.
00:42:57.160 Men is just like,
00:42:57.760 I'm risking it for the biscuit.
00:42:59.080 And that's all I have to say.
00:42:59.800 Yeah, men are more risky.
00:43:01.160 I agree with you.
00:43:02.060 Even when you think about FMCG
00:43:04.120 and you go above
00:43:05.200 on a few levels
00:43:06.120 and, okay,
00:43:06.800 there are less women there.
00:43:08.560 And they are looked upon...
00:43:09.280 At what?
00:43:09.640 Wait, say that again.
00:43:10.300 Sorry.
00:43:11.160 I don't know what FMC...
00:43:12.480 Sorry.
00:43:12.880 Is that a British thing?
00:43:13.860 This is a British thing.
00:43:14.640 Is it like a business type?
00:43:16.440 Yeah, sorry.
00:43:17.220 FOSS is an acronym.
00:43:18.380 I'm sorry.
00:43:18.940 I should put like five pound
00:43:20.280 in a jar to tell everybody.
00:43:21.820 I am the worst person
00:43:22.800 I do at work as well.
00:43:23.960 And now I've done it
00:43:25.480 just in front of many people.
00:43:27.160 Fast moving consumer goods.
00:43:28.880 So you have to be able
00:43:29.740 to make decisions quickly.
00:43:31.160 You have to be innovative.
00:43:32.640 I work in that role right now.
00:43:34.020 I just feel like women
00:43:34.920 are getting a really bad
00:43:36.000 bum deal out of this.
00:43:37.660 The harder we work,
00:43:38.660 the higher we go.
00:43:39.820 We're still dicks
00:43:40.720 because we have to behave
00:43:41.900 in the same way,
00:43:42.560 but not the same way.
00:43:43.600 Like I'm doing it.
00:43:44.720 I'm living it.
00:43:45.340 Like I really think
00:43:46.120 it's not that deep guys.
00:43:47.200 Like it doesn't matter
00:43:47.860 what you have.
00:43:49.000 Just get on with it.
00:43:49.820 JFDI, just fucking do it.
00:43:51.560 Like let's go.
00:43:53.240 I just...
00:43:54.480 What do you mean?
00:43:55.360 Like I just find
00:43:56.300 that this whole dichotomy
00:43:58.320 between men and women
00:43:59.320 and like it just,
00:44:00.580 if they're a bad boss,
00:44:01.800 they're a bad boss.
00:44:02.900 It doesn't matter.
00:44:03.780 Well, I think it's,
00:44:04.740 what's interesting
00:44:05.380 is that women,
00:44:06.460 men, most men
00:44:07.420 say they don't have a preference.
00:44:08.800 It was like 50-50
00:44:09.800 where women say
00:44:11.320 they don't like working for women.
00:44:13.060 Yeah.
00:44:13.420 So it's...
00:44:14.560 I don't know.
00:44:15.220 And maybe I have a difficulty
00:44:16.400 with personal experience
00:44:18.040 but I've had a bad woman boss
00:44:20.140 and I've had a bad man boss
00:44:21.720 but I've had lots of bosses
00:44:22.800 and I've been a boss
00:44:23.860 and my personal experience
00:44:25.440 is that if you're a dick,
00:44:27.320 you're a dick.
00:44:27.780 It doesn't matter
00:44:28.560 what genitalia you have.
00:44:29.900 You're going to be a dick.
00:44:31.420 Okay.
00:44:31.940 What do you think?
00:44:32.480 Well, yeah, I agree
00:44:34.240 realistically on that point.
00:44:36.060 I have very limited
00:44:37.440 personal experience
00:44:38.500 but I've had, yeah, both.
00:44:42.600 Like, realistically,
00:44:43.700 my experience,
00:44:45.240 the female, like,
00:44:46.980 on-site manager
00:44:47.560 was horrible.
00:44:50.000 Like, personal,
00:44:50.840 like, going to personal topics
00:44:53.120 but that was on the situation.
00:44:55.620 To be honest,
00:44:56.100 I think it's just dependent
00:44:57.020 on the person realistically
00:44:58.260 because there are different experiences
00:45:00.320 from everybody here
00:45:01.320 about a male manager
00:45:03.240 being inappropriate,
00:45:04.940 female manager being inappropriate.
00:45:06.460 I know we're generalising
00:45:07.440 but I just think, yeah,
00:45:09.820 it's dependent on the person realistically.
00:45:11.580 My experience,
00:45:13.060 my manager was a male.
00:45:17.200 He was fine
00:45:17.860 but he was in a relationship.
00:45:18.920 It's very different, like,
00:45:21.020 you know, scenes
00:45:22.640 but on-site female manager
00:45:25.120 wasn't great
00:45:25.880 but it was personal,
00:45:27.720 you know,
00:45:28.180 she was older than me.
00:45:29.080 She was jealous in a way
00:45:30.780 of different experiences
00:45:31.860 but I do think
00:45:33.820 if it was a different
00:45:34.700 experience with the...
00:45:37.540 Well, probably with a little girl
00:45:37.840 like you.
00:45:38.820 Yeah, well,
00:45:39.820 it's like,
00:45:41.440 it was, yeah,
00:45:42.460 the experience was very awkward
00:45:44.300 between me and her.
00:45:45.900 It became personal
00:45:46.780 without me wanting it to be at all
00:45:48.880 but, yeah,
00:45:50.960 some people just,
00:45:51.720 some people just,
00:45:52.620 like,
00:45:53.560 they don't care.
00:45:54.600 Sometimes they're just going for it.
00:45:56.300 Hey, I need you guys
00:45:57.620 to stop with the side talking
00:45:58.820 because we can hear it
00:46:00.140 in the mics.
00:46:00.600 Go ahead.
00:46:01.160 Yeah,
00:46:01.520 but realistically,
00:46:03.220 my experience is more
00:46:04.540 and obviously,
00:46:05.740 my female manager
00:46:06.860 wasn't as good
00:46:07.740 as the male.
00:46:08.580 However,
00:46:08.940 I don't think
00:46:09.560 that can speak
00:46:11.040 for everybody
00:46:12.040 and a general experience
00:46:14.020 of,
00:46:15.220 is male management
00:46:17.040 better than female?
00:46:18.500 You know what I mean?
00:46:19.100 Mm-hmm.
00:46:20.040 Okay.
00:46:21.220 What about you?
00:46:23.600 I mean,
00:46:24.140 I don't have much experience
00:46:25.280 but, like,
00:46:25.880 from what I've experienced,
00:46:27.120 I definitely prefer,
00:46:28.200 like,
00:46:28.600 male leadership for sure
00:46:29.920 because I feel,
00:46:31.700 sorry,
00:46:32.520 I feel like it's more
00:46:33.200 of a relaxed environment.
00:46:35.040 Like,
00:46:35.780 with women,
00:46:36.480 it's always,
00:46:37.220 oh,
00:46:37.500 this,
00:46:37.800 this,
00:46:38.060 and this,
00:46:38.520 this,
00:46:38.780 and that.
00:46:39.160 It's like,
00:46:39.420 I don't have time for it.
00:46:40.100 We're all here for £10.15
00:46:41.080 and I were, like,
00:46:41.820 we're not, like,
00:46:43.200 you know,
00:46:44.000 much different.
00:46:44.820 So, like,
00:46:45.220 like I said,
00:46:45.600 I don't have much experience
00:46:46.240 but I definitely prefer
00:46:47.140 male leadership.
00:46:48.140 It's more laid back.
00:46:48.900 We can get on with our jobs
00:46:50.020 and that's that.
00:46:50.940 As many of you know,
