00:00:00.000 So, speaking of this woman, I was actually kind of proud of her, okay?
00:00:04.760 So, there's a woman named Ebony Williams.
00:00:06.880 So, Ebony Williams went stupid viral for saying that she wouldn't date a bus driver, and that was below her.
00:00:13.420 Right.
00:00:13.760 Now, the reason that this is so crazy is not because she's a 22-year-old, bright-eyed and bushy-tailed young woman, attractive.
00:00:22.440 She's almost 40.
00:00:24.160 That bus driver can marry a woman and have a whole family.
00:00:27.500 Yeah.
00:00:27.660 But for her, that's pretty much off the table.
00:00:30.900 I mean, she might get lucky.
00:00:32.120 There's some people that cash out at 42 and have a happy ending, but that's the exception, not the rule.
00:00:37.220 Yeah.
00:00:37.960 And the thing about Ebony Williams, she's actually changed her tune.
00:00:44.640 I think she got red-pilled.
00:00:46.160 So, let's pull up the video.
00:00:47.500 Hey, Williams has the people going again.
00:00:50.440 She posted a video where she talked about women in the pursuit of degrees.
00:00:56.560 And she says that the women that are in the pursuit of degrees should also be in pursuit of wedding rings if that is what they choose.
00:01:03.040 Let's take a listen to the audio.
00:01:04.920 The reality is that our marriage and partnership market value is depreciating with every passing year.
00:01:11.860 No matter how good we look, no matter how fit we are, men are still seeing primarily our presumed dwindling fertility as a knock against us.
00:01:22.820 So, here's my advice.
00:01:23.840 If you are a young black woman in college and you know in your heart and in your head that you want to prioritize family, I suggest that you simultaneously pursue that MRS degree right along with that BA or JD.
00:01:37.440 Because a handful of black college-aged men that actually do desire to get married soon and they do share that value system and family is a priority for them too.
00:01:47.460 Y'all, that is an incredibly small pool and it's shrinking as you get older.
00:01:51.620 And by the time you reach my age, 40, you will be faced with different choices relating to life.
00:01:57.360 So, I actually thought that was awesome.
00:02:00.040 I was going to say she's doing something good for the world.
00:02:03.500 She's speaking truth.
00:02:04.940 She's acknowledging how things are.
00:02:07.920 Yeah, and so it's a really interesting change of tune.
00:02:11.460 And I know all the guys will say it's not genuine, but I really think she got red-pilled when that clip happened.
00:02:16.540 You can't go that stupid viral for saying something idiotic and not have any...
00:02:23.960 There's some truth in there.
00:02:25.740 Yeah, and that's...
00:02:26.500 There has to be.
00:02:27.080 Well, I don't know.
00:02:28.400 I think she...
00:02:30.740 You know, and that's my thing.
00:02:32.920 It's like, okay, everybody has L's.
00:02:34.920 I don't think anybody goes through life and takes no L's, makes no mistakes, always does the right thing.
00:02:40.580 Yeah.
00:02:41.000 But at least, like, we need to admit and talk about what is right and what is wrong.
00:02:46.660 Yeah, yeah.
00:02:48.000 I mean, she's saying it right there.
00:02:50.400 I mean, the fact that she obviously made the comment about the bus drivers, I think she's kind of...
00:02:55.080 Look, I think that's a very harsh thing to say, especially in her current state.
00:02:59.740 But the way she's talking there, yeah, I would argue that she's probably done some kind of introspection, maybe something that happened that triggered this introspection.
00:03:07.780 But she's speaking facts.
00:03:09.980 She's telling women the right thing.
00:03:12.500 And that, as harsh as it may sound to women who don't tend to hear that, and it's not out there, it's not popular, this kind of narrative, it may seem harsh.
00:03:22.220 But the truth is, that's actually a lot kinder than what the majority of women who are telling you.
00:03:27.200 You know, go get your degree, go and get your job, and then maybe when you're 38, after you've frozen your eggs and all that crap, maybe then you can find a guy.
00:03:35.720 And the other thing, too, is that she...
00:03:39.200 I think what she's saying is more realistic.
00:03:45.400 And the thing is, people used to go to college.
00:03:48.560 Like, their whole point was getting a job for their husband.
00:03:51.380 Yeah.
00:03:51.780 So they would become, like, a dental assistant if they wanted to marry a dentist, a law firm clerk.
00:03:57.340 Yeah.
00:03:57.540 I actually have a friend that did that.
00:03:59.520 She was in the military, and she ended up marrying, um, I don't know.
00:04:04.940 Like, she's all about, she's like, we're de-stigmatized dating your boss.
00:04:10.440 I mean...
00:04:10.880 Swear, swear.
00:04:11.620 She's like, I'm not saying every person should do this, but she literally was like, no, we gotta de-stigmatize this.
00:04:17.560 I would advise young women to get a job in the field that they want to marry.
00:04:23.040 Well, at least then, you know, you're gonna have at least one thing in common.
00:04:26.660 And I think it just shows our general shift in values as a society that we now sort of have this stigma of, like, you know, don't date someone at work and don't date your boss.
00:04:37.060 That's where everyone used to be.
