if if one person does one job and then you're saying a person with a camera a
00:00:05.400
man or a woman or what did you say sorry okay so so I paid him to come with me
00:00:09.960
today right I have to hire a cameraman every time I go out and if I pay people
00:00:14.580
based on the job they do so I'm not gonna think oh is she a mom is she not a
00:00:19.080
mom I'm just gonna pay people based on the job I think that's fair and so like
00:00:22.860
I'm saying what I think it's unfair when you give women special treatment just
00:00:26.220
because they're women because men have kids too so so like for example when
00:00:30.420
you said you said you should pay people and take into account if they have kids
00:00:33.660
or not and I'm saying like no I think we should pay people based on the job
00:00:38.760
so what other special treatment do women receive oh we got a ton like quotas like
00:00:46.620
there's specific quotas and companies that say you often know because women
00:00:51.100
don't want to do hard jobs like for example okay okay then what bricklayers
00:00:55.440
why is it 99% female plumbing why is it bricklayers why is it 99% feel female
00:01:00.360
oil rigs like construction like oh sorry sorry male male sorry sorry sorry you
00:01:05.940
understand yeah but what other areas and things do do we as women receive
00:01:10.380
preference have women pursue engineering they like I worked at I worked in a sales
00:01:15.000
company they hired me on the spot cuz I was a woman I don't think I should get
00:01:18.300
special treatment just cuz I'm a woman it's not okay right now not seen
00:01:23.460
yourself as a because I feel sometimes we feel when we are in certain positions
00:01:28.380
that we are hired or accepted into things because of our sometimes race and
00:01:32.500
sometimes our gender and things like that but like like you said these
00:01:36.600
companies are like companies they are not hiring based on gender they are hiring
00:01:41.500
based on skilled employees if someone applies to their role and in and what they
00:01:46.360
want is someone who can do the work properly they will hire them and that's why they
00:01:50.160
still do not meet their quotas because they're hiring the best employee and not
00:01:53.880
the best female employee or the best male employee so sometimes you might feel
00:01:57.720
in some situations that you are being hired because you're a woman but that
00:02:00.780
might not necessarily be the case you may be hired because you have the skills and
00:02:03.480
the experience and the things that is necessary for the job however when you
00:02:06.480
when you when you say that all we as women we should have received special
00:02:10.020
treatment what special treatment are we receiving quotas that's what I'm saying I'm
00:02:13.120
saying so it's okay yeah so can I can I can I just I like I just add this part so I'm
00:02:17.920
saying where I did you're just going out for a while so I'm just gonna cuz you
00:02:20.740
you had a lot of points so I just want to I I'm saying we shouldn't have quotas
00:02:24.160
there shouldn't be special treatment you have a lot when you when you have a
00:02:27.220
law that says you need a certain amount of women in a company I think that's
00:02:31.420
wrong because I I think it should be based on your skills not your gender and I
00:02:36.580
entirely agree with you on that that we shouldn't have these quotas but these
00:02:40.180
quotas are set in place to try and increase the equality because there is
00:02:44.200
none at the moment and when we have reached a position where we can achieve
00:02:47.500
this these quotas can and will be removed because it's now it's a natural thing to
00:02:51.580
see people in of equal like we have places for races so so what what what what is
00:02:57.040
what is I I don't you're I need you to do one at a time what is equality what like
00:03:01.340
what would equality look like because some industries women don't want to do so I
00:03:05.360
don't think we can have quota after quota for women to go in
00:03:08.740
construction I don't want to go in construction most women I know don't
00:03:12.280
want to be in construction so I'm saying this it's I and I'll tell you why I
00:03:16.720
interview people on the street all the time all the time let me let me let me
00:03:20.860
finish let me finish I interview four times a week I do a live show I interview
00:03:25.000
I talk to people all the time I ask girls would you rather make three hundred
00:03:28.060
thousand dollars and work at an oil rig in Alaska or have a high status job where
00:03:32.840
you make no money most women pick no money there's some exceptions there's some
00:03:36.820
but I'm telling you I ask women and men this all the time more men say yes like
00:03:40.620
men are more willing to do hard jobs than women and you could see that because
00:03:44.080
the hardest jobs the least like honored jobs in society are all done by men
00:03:48.160
when you talked about it's not sorry when you talk about um equality the one
00:03:53.580
trying to say is the reason why most women you don't see most women in these
00:03:56.360
kind of fields because they don't see a representation
00:04:03.520
example but I am black um I want to go into for example um something that isn't
00:04:09.640
predominant doesn't have a lot of black people is predominantly white
00:04:12.560
so obviously if I don't see representation or people who look like me I will be
00:04:17.900
discouraged to pursue that career because I would feel like I'm going to be the old
00:04:22.500
one out straight away I'm discouraged it's not all about oh um and the reason why
00:04:27.120
these quotas exist is to encourage more people encourage more women to come to
00:04:31.740
these areas so they can be the representatives it's no younger
00:04:34.740
generation so so if that's true if that's true why do it the highest earning
00:04:39.660
um United States like group is Indian Americans in like from India that go so
00:04:46.140
I'm saying they're not represented in the media at all but they outperform white
00:04:50.040
people black people they outperform everybody in the US so if
00:04:53.100
representation is the standard like what evidence do you have that
00:04:56.520
representation increases in a field because I can give you another example
00:05:00.720
Nigerian Americans they out they outperform white Americans
00:05:04.080
representation when I see Nigerians being scientists guess what oh I might
00:05:09.960
actually get this a shot because I'm seeing more black people represented and be
00:05:14.160
celebrated for their creation if you were correct if you were right then there
00:05:18.420
wouldn't be all of these examples where there's no representation yet they come
00:05:21.980
and dominate in a field it's based off of well we will have to start from
00:05:25.400
somewhere little steps we'll have to start from somewhere to get there honestly
00:05:29.120
question do you do you really think like women want to be in construction yes yes
00:05:33.980
I'm doing architecture I'm gonna go into construction management what are you
00:05:37.040
talking about construction management but you're not gonna be the one on the
00:05:41.180
best if I want to if I own the company and I wanted to join in I can
00:05:44.660
inform it I think what was what we're confusing is when the rolls with with
00:05:50.780
little to no position of power to rolls with and with a lot of power and
00:05:55.400
obviously women are fighting for like anyone we are all fighting for roles where
00:06:00.620
we can make an influence and impact in the rest of the world in a positive way
00:06:03.800
and I'm not saying that people who do not who aren't in politics or in the
00:06:07.580
government or who are because you keep using the example of construction workers
00:06:11.540
aren't in a position of power or or influence but what I'm saying is what I'm
00:06:15.800
trying to say is these players aren't set in place to try and give women like
00:06:20.860
an upper hand it's set in place like she said to encourage participation because
00:06:25.700
when you tell someone that they are welcome there will be more likely to
00:06:28.820
enter a building but if you tell people that sorry we do not accept your type here
00:06:32.780
they're not going to go forth and go in and participate and I think that's what
00:06:36.060
these questions are trying to do they're not trying to say oh you're a woman let me
00:06:39.320
hire you to fill a quota they're saying look we're saying we don't have women in
00:06:43.640
our company we want more women to be in our company but we're not going to pick you
00:06:47.420
just because you're a woman but we want you to feel like you are capable of being here
00:06:51.180
despite being a woman so I think that is what these quotas are doing they are trying
00:06:54.660
to encourage participation as opposed to make people feel like they're being picked
00:06:58.160
based on the specific demographic and I think that's what they're trying to do but
00:07:01.600
at the end of the day I think it's still sexist and I think it's offensive like I think it's
00:07:06.100
offensive yeah I think I think it's offensive like why do I need a quota to get a job like
00:07:09.460
because I'm just the type like I feel like I can do anything and I like this YouTube section
00:07:14.220
is very male dominant like every job I've worked has always been male dominant I don't need a
00:07:17.920
quota to help me get a job and like to me like that's offensive that you would think I would
00:07:22.020
need a quota when I'm like why don't I like to me it's like why do I care if there's a man
