female leaders tend to outperform those that don't by 30 percent. While this may sound like
00:00:05.680
nothing new but like nothing well this may sound like nothing but good news a study from UCLA
00:00:11.740
surveyed 60,000 professionals and found that women even those who were managers themselves
00:00:17.620
were more likely to to want a male boss than a female one. The participants explained that female
00:00:24.220
bosses are emotional, catty or bitchy. Men preferred male bosses too but by a much smaller margin than
00:00:31.800
female participants did. A much smaller survey by UCLA of law firms, staff, secretaries, paralegals
00:00:39.160
etc nearly all of whom were women resulted in not one saying that she would that she or he would
00:00:46.320
prefer to work for a female law partner. The studies showed that females in the legal profession
00:00:51.340
that reported to a female boss showed more symptoms of distress including trouble sleeping
00:00:57.540
and headaches when compared to working for a man. Gallup completed a survey that gave a holistic
00:01:03.240
view of this phenomenon. The study found that almost 40 percent of women preferred male leadership
00:01:08.800
as compared to 26 percent of men. When asked would you prefer would you prefer to work for a female or
00:01:17.800
male boss the responses that of those that preferred male leadership leadership can be summed up as
00:01:24.260
followed. Male bosses are more receptive towards new ideas and allowed execution with minimal
00:01:30.260
interference. They're a lot nicer and less emotional. They have less drama and are less jealous of their
00:01:36.500
better-looking counterparts. They recognize and applaud commitment and dedication and are more direct to
00:01:42.680
deal with and willing to wade into disagreements amongst subordinates. Also statistics from the
00:01:49.640
Workplace Bullying Institute has shown that 80% of the time women bully other women while at work.
00:01:58.040
If more women prefer male leadership how is there a patriarchy of the modern workplace? Is it time to
00:02:04.760
recognize and recognize the toxic matriarchy? Thoughts? Question for the woman. What has your overall
00:02:12.760
experience been with female leadership compared to male leadership in your industry?
00:02:18.760
Um so starting here and then go around if this if you've never had a like both genders as bosses you
00:02:26.680
can say that too. Um well I've experienced both a male and female management but I'll say I've experienced
00:02:32.360
one female management due to like male. Um female I would say they're more direct. I feel like sometimes
00:02:39.720
male um management or stuff they just tend to have like a more standoffish approach whereas females are
00:02:45.240
more straightforward maybe they're more like engaging. I would say it was okay it was good it was a good
00:02:52.040
experience but there can be a bit of like that woman to woman kind of macho-ness like kind of how men have
00:02:57.560
that alpha kind of situation going on I feel like that can occur at times and obviously being a female
00:03:03.640
you know we're very like intuitive at times we're like is she is she trying to you know trying to play
00:03:08.120
games playing my mental but you know yeah nothing too intense like very mediocre. Okay what about you two?
00:03:17.000
Um I've had both I've had a woman manager once and I prefer having a male manager just because
00:03:25.160
they're less emotional I feel like in terms of leadership I trust men more and I prefer
00:03:33.400
a man to lead and a lot of older women not all but a lot are a bit jealous of younger women especially
00:03:40.840
if they look nice or if they have a lot of talent and sometimes it makes them wish that they were young
00:03:46.280
again so yeah I just prefer I prefer um men like I trust male leadership
00:03:58.040
so I'm really lucky I've only had one female boss and she was actually a very good friend of mine as
00:04:03.560
well and we worked wonderfully together um I'm 40 and she's I think 12 years older than me
00:04:08.760
um I think if you have a good working understanding relationship with the woman that you're working
00:04:15.320
with it can be a really wonderful thing um then I've worked for many many males the majority of whom have
00:04:24.040
been inappropriate I guess at some point like not physically but just more like um
00:04:29.640
um sly comments like flirty flirty and you know um suggestive you know maybe provocative
00:04:37.320
inappropriate did you ever feel like you got like better like you moved up faster because they were
00:04:42.200
flirting with you yeah I did and actually there was one job that I worked at in the retail industry
00:04:49.320
where we had a male manager and then all of the other employees were attractive women all of them
00:04:57.320
and it was very obvious and everybody knew it all the other retail stores around us you know they knew
00:05:04.200
that all of the girls that work there were particularly good looking and that there would always be like
00:05:09.000
a new flow of good looking women um but overall I think when you're a confident woman then you can
00:05:16.840
work with other confident women and when you are a confident woman you can take leadership from a man
00:05:24.280
okay what about you I would say for me personally the difference is between competence and incompetence
00:05:32.360
so if you're a competent leader you're competent and then the differentiating factor between a man and
00:05:37.560
a woman is if you're disappointed by a rubbish woman boss is because they've been unkind to you or been
00:05:44.280
overly critical or been overly judgmental and then if you have a male boss that's incompetent it's
00:05:50.520
because he made a pass at you or he made you feel smaller than you should have felt or he belittled
00:05:56.200
you in front of people when actually he was the one that was wrong so I think the differentiation
00:06:01.240
comes between their levels of incompetence but competence is competence irrespective of
00:06:06.280
if you're male or female okay what do you think I think it's 50 50. I think I've had good and bad like
00:06:14.360
with a male manager that I had he was all about looks and then my previous manager who was a female
00:06:23.160
she was just very laid back so yeah I think it's 50 50. was you asking the girls or just the oh um
00:06:31.720
yeah we'll do girls first go ahead um I agree with like what you were saying about competence
00:06:38.360
so if you have experience if you care about the work that you do um whether you're male or female
00:06:45.000
you will like brush up on your leadership skills um women lead the home so I mean I'm a bit old school
00:06:54.280
so I believe that like technically if push comes to shove a man should leave the lead the home
00:07:01.400
but in terms of the running of the home the organization the family the you know like
00:07:07.800
multitasking everything else how things look um organizing the finances thinking about investments
00:07:15.080
like women lead um and I've had an amazing female leader and I've had a shh
00:07:21.240
am I allowed to swear yeah you can swear I've had like a really shh a female boss
00:07:25.480
who was a bitch like yeah she was horrible um and I was really young and yeah she
00:07:32.440
yeah but I've so I've had both but men I've like and I've had it same I've had really good men
00:07:39.640
bosses um or like colleagues and then but men in leadership I trust women more like competent women
00:07:50.200
like there's um something really special when like strong women come together and work together
00:07:56.280
it's like sisterhood and it's rare like I say I don't it exists it's not it's not a unicorn it's
00:08:04.600
not you ever see sorority houses versus frat houses the frat houses they're like best friends for life
00:08:10.040
no no you're right like you're right men as groups like bond better like they're bros more like they
00:08:15.880
are like they play sports together so they do more things as a group um but when you like
00:08:23.080
get a good mix like I don't know how to explain it I think that's to do with the competency like if you
00:08:27.640
are a healthy person and you find another healthy person there will be healthy things happening um
00:08:34.200
so you know you're getting old but if you're dealing with your trauma with getting old and like
00:08:40.200
the way that that makes you feel and you're faced with a beautiful young woman you are not going to
00:08:44.600
take out those feelings on her I don't know it exists there are nice people out there but it's
00:08:50.360
rare I think it's common though I think older women bully younger women a lot no I hear you I
00:08:55.320
hear you it's like like mother vibe like a mother-daughter relationship well it's almost like it's only I
00:09:00.120
I've noticed it's usually I'm not saying all but it's only if they're still single like if they're
00:09:04.760
married they're like happily married they got a man but it's like when they're competing with you
00:09:09.320
yeah that's that's what I found I hear you I hear you and the that's the dynamic between like older
00:09:14.840
women and younger women but there's also a dynamic between older men and men in general and women
00:09:20.520
and if men see you as a sexual object rather than a work colleague it happens like I've been a teenager
00:09:29.080
like groped at work by my boss like did you report it I didn't report it like I when these things happen
00:09:36.280
grapes okay maybe not grapes but like when like you don't know how to like especially being a
00:09:42.280
teenager like I'm going to college I live alone and you know I'm going through things in my life
00:09:49.000
and I've been through things in my life and it it you internalize it if that makes sense like you feel
00:09:53.400
like you've done something wrong or you're to blame like I'm feisty so like I put it on him and
00:09:57.640
I like showed him it's not that bad but like what do you mean you put it I put it on him like bro
00:10:02.280
like it's not that kind of party like I'm from south London like yeah like your own yeah I was confused
00:10:07.080
and the u.s. put it on him means no like I didn't like straddle him in the cafe but like I just showed
00:10:14.120
him like that's not cool but yeah like when there's such a difference between age and like experience
00:10:20.760
and just in general like even if there's not that difference between age and experience
00:10:24.600
like men think that they can be inappropriate and that's okay you know some men some men some men
00:10:33.080
most men because if you look at you can't say most you because you've got to look at a woman's
00:10:39.080
experience and you've got to look at they do research like if I've spoken to 100 men in my life
00:10:44.520
and 89.9 you think have moved in this type of way 90% of men 89.9 okay you think 89.9 have moved mad
00:10:56.760
no that's not my experience like I just wouldn't I mean when I was when I was young I had a coach
00:11:01.720
hit on me but I wouldn't generalize all men with that 89.9 yeah no not even close I would say like
00:11:08.680
I would say most men are good men like you know what you're saying do you have any brothers
00:11:11.640
I have two brothers one which is AWOL and the other which is Dutty but kind of good so so if
00:11:18.680
you put your brothers in the room with us that's four men and then you put where Kobe said that's
00:11:23.000
five you put uh blessing here that's six um Amiri just left that was seven if you put another three
00:11:27.880
you're gonna say out of those ten men eight of us are inappropriate and removed but you're you're
00:11:31.960
picking like my brothers no I'm picking no I'm picking no and you're assuming that my brothers
00:11:36.920
like a call no I'm just picking I'm just picking 10 men and you said 89.9 so let's say so let's say
00:11:43.960
out of 10 men yeah nine of them yeah are men that commit SA and don't know how to treat women is
00:11:49.480
that what you're saying so I'm not saying that they commit SA I never said they'll commit SA I'm
00:11:54.440
saying inappropriate so okay so the same way that we said that older women may like try and put that on
00:12:01.800
a woman and bring out like their issues that they have about getting older and a young woman being
00:12:06.680
threatening to them that's one dynamic between an older woman and a younger woman an older or a
00:12:13.000
similar age man and a woman from my experience so I'm not saying in life in general this is for
00:12:18.840
everybody but from my experience over 50% closer towards 89.9 okay wait wait wait can you define
00:12:26.360
can you define inappropriate so like passes like like what's passes yeah so you just mean like
00:12:33.560
you look like looking at your blouse like or like do you know what I mean like like I can give a good
00:12:39.080
example why yes please thank you I was at work sorry I could give a good example I forgot my mic was so
00:12:45.240
far away um I was at work um one day and I was like going through my shift my job is one of those jobs
00:12:51.160
where you get there I don't really wear my uniform to work because I don't like to commute in my uniform
00:12:55.720
so I'll change when I get there whatever not so I've gone on the shop floor and I'm just getting
00:12:59.320
on with my job I've got probably 11 hour shift just going through it going through going through it
00:13:03.480
and one of the like new kind of old-ish like you know when someone does a job and they come back
00:13:08.040
we had like someone that had come back to the shop and they was like on the past whatever not doing
00:13:11.640
their job and I'm just like you know on the shop floor getting on with everything I'm seeing them
00:13:15.720
gesture at me like kind of like glaring towards me and I'm thinking who who is it um this is uh like
00:13:20.440
say if it's a runner like I work in hospitality so okay so like say if I'm like head waitress that's
00:13:25.480
my position senior waitress on the shop floor and I'm just doing my day-to-day like you know
00:13:30.280
and um they was doing their job but it's like they was glaring at me at a point so I was thinking um
00:13:35.640
how can I help but I'm kind of like not space saying nothing I'm kind of looking at them like
00:13:39.160
and it's it's two guys no it's one guy at this one guy one guy this is just somebody that's not
00:13:43.720
necessarily on a higher hierarchy in the um establishment but it doesn't make a difference
00:13:47.880
like men male whatever so um yeah he's glaring at me and I'm looking back like how can I help
00:13:53.240
and he's kind of like looked down because obviously being a female you'll be conscious of
00:13:56.680
when I'm when a male's looking at you this is what I thought I'm Stephanie's trying to explain like
00:14:00.600
you know when someone's kind of giving you kind of like not uncomfortableness but
00:14:03.640
I'm not sure what you're trying to say but you're not saying nothing so you're leaving it out in the
00:14:07.400
open so I've had to try and interpretate what he's looking at so I've looked down and my flies are
00:14:12.360
undone when was you going to say something because you've been looking at my front for a very long time
00:14:17.000
maybe maybe you've been looking at my crotch and when I made like the you know the announcement
00:14:21.960
of like oh like was you not going to say anything he was like I liked it like what what does that
00:14:26.120
mean he was hitting on you but that's the point like why why is that something that you know it's
00:14:32.040
weird it's just weird and guys tend to do things like in their mind seems light-hearted but it's
00:14:36.120
very serious yeah I flirted with the guy at work before I don't think it's like I was doing like a six
00:14:41.640
hour shift with my flies undone yeah but the thing is he didn't say anything so the thing is you have
00:14:47.000
to be clear you have to be very very clear in what you're saying so you're explaining for her but you
00:14:52.360
can't explain for her for a situation so you're giving me yours right but what I take from this
00:14:56.920
what I take from this as a man which a man's been inappropriate okay but when you start talking about
00:15:02.680
89 point do you really do you know what you're saying you're saying when you walk down the street
00:15:07.480
90 percent of men are going to do a madness or going to treat you inappropriately so then you
00:15:12.200
can't then retract that to 50 that could be more likely 50 you know a guy could maybe be like this
00:15:17.560
or not be like that as a man when we listen to women talk like this we have to listen to what
00:15:22.200
you're saying and unless a man has actually done something that you can concrete say he did this
00:15:26.600
i reported this what we hear is just what we always hear from women depending on what you feel
00:15:31.800
is how you feel the scenario was but if you didn't report it if it wasn't recorded
00:15:36.840
all we have to go on is just what you believe it is and you can't even been clearing what you
00:15:41.400
believe it is what happened sorry but i disagree with that because you're saying that unless someone
00:15:48.280
reports it you only have their like version of events to go on yeah but there are people yeah yeah
00:15:55.560
sorry guys but there are people who do report things and it's still their version of events but you
00:16:00.600
didn't report it though have you so because if you don't if you don't wait wait if you don't
00:16:05.560
report it it's he said she said it's yeah but even when you report it but you said she said when
00:16:10.120
people report grape issues or sa issues it's still he say she say because if you're in a relationship
00:16:17.640
with someone if it's your uncle yeah whoever it is it's a personal thing you understand when you like
00:16:24.760
people aren't here right now there's a whole heap of people in this room yeah but when your man
00:16:29.320
does certain things your man you know and you haven't agreed to it it's still he say she say
00:16:36.760
did you report it no no no i'm saying to you but did you report i am saying to you that whether it's
00:16:41.800
reported but did you report it to hear what i have to say i'm saying to you that whether it's reported
00:16:47.000
or whether it's not reported it's still he say she said and the reason why people don't report it
00:16:51.880
is because it's still a he say she say there's no evidence there's no camera in my room right there's
00:16:57.160
no camera in my room to prove that what i'm saying so why didn't you report it who but what are you
00:17:02.840
talking about i'm talking about hypothetical okay okay so do you understand the concept yes i do i do
00:17:07.640
i do i do i do i do okay wait wait but even even when it's a he said she said people have patterns of
00:17:12.920
behavior 100 like honestly i think it's selfish not to report it i genuinely think it's selfish like you
00:17:17.720
want them to do that to someone else but if it genuinely happened like why would you not report
00:17:22.200
it because even if even if like let's say justice isn't served for you if 10 girls come forward with
00:17:27.720
the same story eventually they can build a case against the guy it's happened i've seen it happen
00:17:32.280
so it's genuinely selfish if you don't so when you say he say she she every time you go to the police
00:17:37.160
and you make an accusation against someone you report it's always he says she she nothing is ever
00:17:41.240
concrete the reason why you go to the police is so that a case can be pulled against the person
00:17:45.160
so if i have five girls that say to me my boss was inappropriate to me and i said to you okay cool
00:17:50.040
or my sister says to me my boss was inappropriate to i say the first thing you do is go and report it
00:17:54.360
if five women do not report it then they say to me oh it's because of he say she she whose fault is
00:17:59.080
that but we're not even blaming people i'm not i'm not blaming because she said to me because you are
00:18:03.880
no no no no guys guys guys guys guys guys listen for a second yeah she said to me oh apparently i don't
00:18:11.000
understand that he's but i'm saying i do understand if someone does something to you this is
00:18:14.840
look let me look to the camera ladies women if somebody does something to you in your workplace
00:18:19.720
in your home any man is inappropriate you need to go and report it straight away you need to and this
00:18:24.920
is what i'm gonna advocate for because if you come on a platform and you say oh my man this this did this
00:18:29.320
to me my body my boss did it to me and you tell me and i said to you so what did you do about you said
00:18:33.800
nothing i'm sorry i just can't i just can't i just can't take every woman that says that the truth i'm
00:18:37.800
sorry i can't do that but can we just very quickly i think we really really should add
00:18:43.080
that some women are so traumatized thank you by what they have experienced thank you they find
00:18:50.600
it difficult to come forward have you experienced essay pearly things or you which is which i mean the
00:18:57.400
definition the definition for essay is so broad now what is the definition the definite i don't even know
00:19:03.080
they change it every year like legally but but arguably i could yeah i could argue that i have
00:19:08.520
and did you report every experience of essay yes every single experience it doesn't happen to me that
00:19:13.800
many times you were so brave then for having the courage to do it but some women's it's what if
00:19:20.920
the person is supposed to report no and i'm saying i'm going to argue and and it's arguably because
00:19:25.880
it's like nowadays you can report someone grabbing your butt at a bar but but if that's not warranted or
00:19:31.880
that's not invited but some people don't think that's like a higher enough you know it doesn't
00:19:35.800
matter no that's what i say it's so broad but i'm saying like like if you're to me okay it doesn't
00:19:44.440
make sense to me if you can come on a podcast and talk about something but you can't talk about it to
00:19:48.920
the police exactly so so i understand that some people like okay they might they might not want to
00:19:54.680
talk about it publicly or they might like if they're afraid then they wouldn't go to my podcast and they
00:19:58.680
wouldn't go to the police either but so again i still but i but i still think it's selfish i think
00:20:04.680
i think if you if you you're telling me i'm selfish for being a 17 year old girl who lives in a hostel
00:20:10.600
you don't know what i've experienced previous to that for not reporting my boss who's probably about
00:20:15.480
40 years old and excuse me let me land don't interrupt me i'm just saying yes i'm not asking you i was
00:20:21.320
asking pearly things right yes i'm asking you if you think i'm selfish i'm a child at this point yeah
00:20:27.240
i've been sexually harassed yeah all of them things that you know you can say um by yeah like
00:20:35.240
by odd you can't you can't tell me nothing however whatever your opinion is that's your business yeah
00:20:39.960
because i know my situation yeah and what i have walked through in the in that situation right now
00:20:45.160
i'm 33 years old yeah so it's different now of course i can sit down i work with i do i work in the
00:20:49.720
community but at that age yeah that young age i am a child i can't even open a bank account
00:20:56.680
on my own yeah and you're telling me i am selfish i am selfish i am something you can have a bank
00:21:02.280
account whatever you can't do you can do a lot of people don't have that education at 17 you don't
00:21:08.920
know you can open a bank you're trying to you're trying to you're trying to make jokes and you're
00:21:13.080
trying to interject and you're trying to diverge from something that is very very important and a lot
00:21:17.960
of young women have experienced it okay okay okay have you gone through essay okay wait no no no okay
00:21:23.640
you you asked me the question first and then you go on this rant i did go on a rant okay um okay do
00:21:31.960
i think that's selfish yes yeah i think because then other girls have to deal with it like i just think
00:21:37.480
if if something happened to me that was so traumatizing like i wouldn't want other girls
00:21:41.560
to go through that you're like basically i can't i can't judge other people you can say what you want
00:21:47.480
and feel what you want yeah and have your opinion and that doesn't mean that much to me because you don't
00:21:53.000
know what people go through what your capacity is at 17 i don't know if you went through your
00:21:58.680
experiences at that age and if you was living in a hostel at that age and if you had gone through what
00:22:02.840
i had gone through at that age yeah we're different people do you understand what i'm saying to you
00:22:06.840
yeah i know i know we're different people we're different people so that's what i'm saying you might
00:22:10.360
have the capacity you might have the support you might be living at home you might have your
00:22:13.560
mom to rub your back at the police station i wasn't in that situation so there are many people
00:22:19.320
that are experiencing things and i haven't got no judgment for you do what you can do because why
00:22:23.720
is it up to the victims to find and look down you know as a child to to to build up a case against
00:22:31.400
these people when you have the capacity yes i encourage i support but find an organization if
00:22:38.040
you don't think you can do it on your own if you are unsure get the support that you need the main thing
00:22:43.080
is that you have got support to get through the trauma of very yes you get your bum grabbed at a
00:22:48.120
nightclub but there's varying different traumas there's an organization it's called the police
00:22:52.600
so listen to this i've just listened to you just no no sorry can i can i talk because i've just
00:22:56.200
listened to you we've listened scars on me okay okay why am i going to go to them when i'm being
00:23:00.600
so what you're doing now is we've let you speak we've let you tell your story let you tell your passion
00:23:05.560
but i'm sorry but the world doesn't owe any one of us understanding lots of people are going through
00:23:09.880
lots of things end of the day it's very selfish for you to be assaulted by a man or whatever you said
00:23:14.520
and he's 40 years harassed or whatever it is but it's it's made you feel this strongly about
00:23:19.000
it it's gone into your life and it's obviously followed you you have let let this man go into
00:23:23.080
the world and possibly do it to many other women before this is like knowing a man is actually like
00:23:27.480
um for example if someone touched kids and you knew they did that and you never was a kid no you
00:23:34.040
wasn't you're 17 let's not do this please listen listen listen listen listen technically okay so if you're
00:23:39.560
gonna keep doing this then we're not gonna able to get off because basically you said to me i couldn't
00:23:43.560
open a 17 you can open a bank account you can open a bank account at like 11 years old what tends to
00:23:47.800
happen is a lot of people come over here and they're trying to act like oh when i wasn't i wasn't an
00:23:52.040
adult at 17 you knew right from wrong end of the day if you had any family any people around you if you
00:23:56.920
didn't call you to scenario i understand that but you have the police there you cannot come into a
00:24:00.920
platform and be this fluid and be this articulate and challenge pearl and say to myself oh you know what i
00:24:05.640
couldn't go to the police there's nobody around the police is there then you say to me
00:24:08.920
okay i got attacked by the police okay so you don't have whatever it is okay cool why am i
00:24:13.720
going to go to the police okay okay so now 15 have assaulted me okay cool so now we can't go to the
00:24:19.560
police right so you don't know who do we go to well i'm just discovering who do we report it to you
00:24:23.640
i'm just discovering my manager who do we report i'm asking you you're telling me you can't go to
00:24:27.000
the police most people can go to the police but you're saying to me so i don't have to take this on
00:24:29.880
board do you have um would you like to see the scars see what you're doing is yeah because he said he
00:24:34.680
don't believe you're not letting me finish and the reason you're not letting me finish is because
00:24:46.680
the moment i do you don't have nothing to push back on you just really talk big man talk talk
00:24:51.320
let me hear what you're saying okay can i present something a second one second guys guys guys let
00:24:57.400
let him finish because the thing is yeah we're not going to be able to have a conversation if you keep
00:25:00.760
doing this because you keep getting triggered why are you getting so triggered like it's like that
00:25:04.280
no if this is trauma let's not talk about it because you're getting very triggered by it and
00:25:07.240
you don't have to speak about it if this is causing you trauma because we can't even have a conversation
00:25:11.320
in order for me to have a conversation we're going to ask you some questions we're going to have to
00:25:14.440
diverge and every time i do you get triggered you interrupt me so i i don't want to do it if we
00:25:18.680
can't do it pal there's no point say what you have to say you said you're going to land is that
00:25:21.960
is that what you have to say is that what you have to say no alex take it take it okay that's what i
00:25:25.800
thought all right let me let me present something to you steph yeah yes for the rest of us to just
00:25:31.240
listen to so steph let's say you could um you were looking right now at 17 year old girl who has
00:25:41.320
just experienced your fly on the wall you see a 17 year old girl who's just experienced what you went
00:25:47.080
through um with the police with that with those situations what right now sitting here now what
00:25:55.880
do you think are the steps that that 17 year old girl should take i'd like to hear from the rest of
00:26:01.480
the panel i've heard i've heard from two men my advice and my concern is for her mental health
00:26:20.360
and that she is supported so i my priority over speaking to the police which i think is the best
00:26:26.360
course of action if she feels able to do so is to make sure that somebody she trusts whether it's a
00:26:32.680
member of her family whether it's a friend whoever is aware of her situation because if she's feeling
00:26:38.920
low if you know i mean what that's my concern you know you don't my general concern you don't think
00:26:43.480
the number one concern would be to stop it from happening again because because it happened to her
00:26:48.760
so now it could happen to 10 girls or it could happen to one girl i think it's a point of view situation
00:26:54.120
that we're going to say like it's someone coming from trauma and someone coming from stoicism so
00:26:59.640
it's two completely different point of views that don't interject so i get what you're saying in the
00:27:04.920
sense that say it with your chest right those things happen to you they were awful i'm very sorry but
00:27:11.560
your statistic is you're coming at her with maths your math is off right and she's saying these
00:27:15.880
things happen to me so obviously there's going to be a a complete non so can i just stop you for
00:27:21.320
i'll let you go on you know what it is i've come on this platform before i have three sisters i have
00:27:25.000
four nieces like i am very much i've just been spending a whole day with my niece you can look
00:27:29.400
at my story playing with them yeah i have a very good relationship my younger sister and we speak
00:27:33.480
about a lot of things so if you said you never if you don't have people around you and you can't go to
00:27:38.760
the police then i'm more concerned that there's men around here and doing things to women because i keep
00:27:43.080
hearing this and this is not how i was raised so i'm like what can we do to stop this and whenever i
00:27:48.920
but whenever i try to speak about what can we do to stop this or what can we do to at least bring
00:27:52.680
more awareness to us it just goes round and round and round a suggestion of what people can do to
00:27:56.920
stop this is perhaps okay right something's awful has happened to you you don't feel like you can say
00:28:02.520
it right you don't feel like you have that safe space to say it so you hold on to it it becomes an
00:28:08.280
internal trauma and then when someone mentioned it to you you fly off the handle that's how most people
00:28:13.240
handle these situations but what you're saying is what can i do so when someone flies off the
00:28:18.040
handle yeah don't come at them with maths come at them from i understand that you're this reaction
00:28:26.920
comes from a place of fear and anger you're asking him to communicate like a woman he's a man
00:28:32.040
no no no in fact i'm asking him to just communicate with me
00:28:35.880
no you're asking him to communicate well then you're putting different variances
00:28:40.280
let me let me sorry sorry one second again we come to this dichotomy of words yeah one one
00:28:45.240
second this i think this is interesting so it goes back to macho-ness and like you know dominance of
00:28:50.440
men over power and women toxic masculinity you know in a very subtle manner or you can't divert your
00:28:57.960
vocabulary alex alex you're gonna jump in after me but hold on a second what you're doing is what
00:29:01.880
see okay so you're doing tone police and we get this every single week no because you've literally
00:29:06.760
just done what the girl did the last week and the girl did the last week if you go look at my story
00:29:10.280
on tiktok it's going viral every single time a man speaks i have a woman every time a man makes a
00:29:15.640
point okay it's every time a man makes a point now it's your tone so i wasn't i wasn't even trying to
00:29:20.200
no no but what i'm trying to let me come in let me come in let me come in let me just say and you
00:29:22.920
could just literally come after me pa we'll let you go but the reason i want to speak about this
00:29:26.120
because men we speak direct we are not women okay so we have a different vocal tone we have a
00:29:31.400
different base in it right when a man articulates himself or men are direct what women tend to do
00:29:35.800
we go around the houses we've just spent a lot of time going around to get to the bottom or
00:29:38.920
something i completely understand what you're saying but when you speak about men's tone
00:29:43.320
we are not women and you don't want us to be women that's the point that i was making i thought
00:29:47.080
you over you didn't understand what i was trying to say pearl was saying that she was basically
00:29:51.720
trying to make you speak as if you was a female yeah you can't do okay that's part of it yeah
00:29:56.280
is the reason of this whole topic which is men harassment within the workplace and what we were
00:30:01.160
saying about how men can come across towards women when we are in a situation do you think
00:30:05.000
just take this for me you can't that what's the word like you can't what's you can't like be a woman
00:30:10.840
adapt that's what i'm looking for do you feel i'm not being sensitive to her no it's adapting like
00:30:14.840
adaptation you can't adapt you're not even choosing to be on a level to be like you know let me try and
00:30:19.560
work out no one's i need to be a female because physically you can't be yeah we understand that but
00:30:23.000
there's a part of your brain that can click so i'm trying to understand so how to you know come
00:30:27.480
across but basically what you want me to what you want me to do no what you want me what you want me
00:30:32.680
to do what you want me to do is no no i'm trying to say you should talk in a tone no no because
00:30:37.080
basically what you want me to do is you want me to basically tiptoe around this whole no because
00:30:41.640
basically i've all i've done is simply ask her a question i've listened to what you said i've asked
00:30:45.640
you why didn't you report it you told me you couldn't go to the police you told me you got scars
00:30:48.680
you've told me all the different things yeah cool but if there's my concern is is that when
00:30:53.640
this happens women don't and there's men that's walking around and it's continuing to happen to
00:30:57.160
so when i say what can we do yeah because the girl in your situation now and she hasn't got brothers
00:31:02.120
she hasn't got family she's in a hostel as well yeah what does she do she can't go to the police
00:31:12.040
someone just gave you an example is as a man what you could do for a woman or a young girl in that
00:31:16.680
situation someone else is giving you an example of what you can do i was asked what i'd advise
00:31:21.240
other young people in this situation to do so if you are asking a question feel free to listen to
00:31:27.640
some options you don't have to take them on as i think these are valid examples
00:31:35.880
as many of you know i was just banned on tick tock and we are demonetized on a daily basis on this
