Transcript

00:00:00.000 today. So before we get too deep into that, I would like for you guys to define a word that
00:00:08.140 we hear so much about. I'd like for you guys to define accountability. Go here, around in the
00:00:14.400 second row. Accountability is being ultimately responsible for all of your actions, whether it
00:00:20.260 be positive or negative. Yeah, I would say it is accountability. And then I think it's also
00:00:27.440 owning it to a level where you're fixing it. You can take accountability or know that you've done
00:00:33.280 wrong, but not pointing to others and deflecting, but you're actually reflecting. Look in the mirror
00:00:39.400 and say, what can I do to change? Because that's the only person you can change.
00:00:44.760 I think accountability is having introspection and self-reflection. I think it's about understanding
00:00:49.640 who you are and taking responsibility for all of the decisions that you make in your life.
00:00:54.080 Yeah, I would say accountability is admitting what you did right and wrong, and then also
00:00:59.860 accepting the consequences of both. Yeah, I definitely agree. I think taking accountability
00:01:06.280 is very important in life and for self-development as well.
00:01:11.900 I think self-awareness, but also the ability to receive when other people have something to say
00:01:17.720 about you. Because as self, we can be jaded to what we don't see about ourselves, but we don't want to
00:01:23.140 hear what other people have to say about us. And that, honestly, is how we coexist with other
00:01:27.460 people. And we need to be accountable for how others receive us so that we can properly coexist.
00:01:33.520 I think accountability is being honest with yourself and that once you admit you're at fault,
00:01:38.420 you can grow from that. I think that's the most important thing.
00:01:40.740 So, who takes more accountability? Men or women?
00:01:44.840 Men.
00:01:45.060 Men.
00:01:45.700 Men, men, men, men.
00:01:46.620 Men, men, men.
00:01:47.860 What? You're shaking your head.
00:01:49.820 I think women, you know, we easily say sorry. Men don't say sorry as much as women.
00:01:56.120 But men say sorry and then continue to fix it, whereas women can't say sorry and then continue
00:02:01.220 to make the same mistake.
00:02:02.060 I think women rarely say sorry in a relationship. Across the board, I've never, most men, one
00:02:08.180 of their biggest gripes is that women, they will always move the goalposts. Like, if they're
00:02:12.460 wrong, then they will kind of counterpoint on how they, like, how you caused it. Like, even
00:02:17.760 if they cheat, well, you weren't emotionally available. So, it's your fault. No matter what
00:02:22.160 happens, there's an excuse. I rarely hear a woman say, I'm sorry, honey, I did wrong. I'm
00:02:26.940 going to work on it. You'll never see me do this again. Please forgive me.
00:02:30.200 Well, I think that's exactly, that's exactly not taking accountability.
00:02:33.660 Women are never wrong.
00:02:34.160 No, we don't be wrong.
00:02:35.160 Uh-oh.
00:02:36.160 You got the right one today, boo.
00:02:38.760 No, you got the right one today, boo.
00:02:40.620 It's time to get active.
00:02:41.460 Woo!
00:02:41.960 No, no.
00:02:42.960 No, no.
00:02:43.460 Did you feel me active?
00:02:43.960 As it got out of the point real quick.
00:02:44.960 Okay, what were you going to say?
00:02:46.360 Not in all situations, but I do think women hold their hands up more than men. Men gaslight.
00:02:52.960 That's the thing. There's accountability in gaslighting, so.
00:02:56.940 So, I think that there's a difference within our society. I think that women have the privilege
00:03:02.160 in our modern day society today to not be held accountable. I did a story not too long
00:03:06.660 ago, about a year or so ago, just popped into my head, where a young lady went down to NBA
00:03:11.020 All-Star Weekend with not enough money to get back home. She then goes on GoFundMe in order
00:03:15.800 to get money in order to go back home. Men cannot do that. Men do not have that type of reach
00:03:20.720 and or access to get free money sent to them if they make a boo-boo.
00:03:25.220 I don't think so. I think that men-
00:03:27.440 So, society in general, just last quick point. Society in general has cushions put in place
00:03:34.700 for women more often than men. That's why most homeless people in America are men. It's
00:03:40.660 like 90 to 10%.
00:03:41.440 90%, yeah.
00:03:42.440 I think when you say that, if you go on the modern day TikToks or whatever, right, you'll
00:03:49.300 find videos of women saying, oh, how to apologize to your man. Just scoot up to him naked with
00:03:56.540 your ass out. And that shows a lot of non-accountability. That shows when you say that, okay, women are
00:04:03.180 more accountable. It's like, no, that's how they apologize. They think, okay, if we have
00:04:06.820 sex, then everything's fine. And so, yeah, I think women don't hold themselves accountable
00:04:11.540 a lot. I think women have a hard time having that introspection. I think if you do, they
00:04:16.800 try to attack people more so than actually accept that.
00:04:20.500 I think in a time though, well, we live in a time where women don't really need to be
00:04:26.200 accountable in a way that men are always running around after them, which I think needs to
00:04:31.320 stop. And that's why that they never have to really hold their hands up and say, look,
00:04:35.640 I'm sorry what I've done wrong. I'll try to fix this because before it becomes an actual
00:04:39.720 issue, the man's already there trying to fix what they've done.
00:04:42.900 This is so interesting to me because I feel like in America, this is not the stance, right?
00:04:48.600 I feel like the men that I've come across in the dating spectrum, they are very passive.
00:04:54.240 They are not quick to apologize. They are very gaslighting. They don't accept accountability.
00:04:59.700 And to your point about a man not being able to go to Vegas, get stuck and not make his way back,
00:05:05.200 men these days, because they're in the streets doing whatever, have accumulated a bunch of women
00:05:09.580 that care for them. You can paint her a stop story and she's going to send you $100 because she's
00:05:14.560 caring and wants to support you, right? So I think it's a balance of each, depending on the
00:05:18.600 circumstances and the person, but I definitely think women can be accountable. And from my
00:05:23.780 circle and my experiences are more accountable in this generation of men who don't accept
00:05:28.320 accountability are not, they apologize by actions, right? They just show up. They won't accept
00:05:33.700 accountability for what they did. Specifically, a blanket apology is not an apology. If you are
00:05:38.440 not owning, right, that's the definition of lack of accountability. If you, oh, I'm just
00:05:43.200 sorry, but what are we sorry for? What are we making improvements on, right?
00:05:46.660 So I have a question for you. What was the last thing that you apologized for?
00:05:50.400 What was the last thing you took accountability for?
00:05:52.340 Bad communication.
00:05:53.540 Bad communication.
00:05:54.620 Yeah.
00:05:54.820 Okay, what, you had something to say?
00:05:57.540 I think maybe sometimes when I lose my anger, sometimes I'll blame it on other things.
00:06:02.100 Then the last thing I took accountability for is when I've gone, no, do you know what?
00:06:05.240 I overreacted with that and I shouldn't have reacted in that way, so I apologize for that.
00:06:08.580 Can we clarify that accountability is not the same as an apology?
00:06:13.760 Right.
00:06:14.060 Because accountability means that there is a consequence after the action.
00:06:19.360 So either that means, okay, you did that, and because of that, this is the consequence.
00:06:24.640 And I believe that is what men have to deal with.
00:06:27.500 I think a lot of times women think just by saying, I'm sorry, I'm accountable, that is not the same thing.
00:06:33.240 You know, listen, the amount of times that I'm in dating relationships with different women and, listen, they just want to just complain about the problem.
00:06:41.800 I want to fix the problem.
00:06:43.200 Correct.
00:06:43.400 I don't want to continue to listen to you just talk about what happened with you and Marianne in the office, right?
00:06:49.880 If you come to me with an issue, let's talk about solutions, all right?
00:06:53.760 Because you can't just waste my time at the end of the day.
00:06:56.420 Let's talk about solutions.
00:06:57.360 But I find as though a lot of women don't communicate in solutions.
00:07:00.160 So when we talk about accountability, the consequences for that is the solution.
00:07:04.100 If men in general are not accountable, they will not be successful.
00:07:08.020 If women in general are not accountable, they can still be the wife to a CEO.
00:07:12.920 Or they can go on OnlyFans.
00:07:14.380 Using that analogy, that same woman will complain to you about, you know, what happened at work.
00:07:20.740 You will say as a man, okay, cool, what are we going to do about it?
00:07:23.600 What are we doing about it?
00:07:24.400 How are we going to fix this?
00:07:25.100 How are we going to fix this?
00:07:26.140 She will say, oh, I just wanted to vent.
00:07:27.840 And then the next week or the next month, she'll be complaining to you about the same thing.
00:07:32.220 So it's like, okay, but how do you hold yourself accountable?
00:07:35.700 Do you want to face this woman or whoever you have a problem with?
00:07:38.480 Do you want to get it out into the air?
00:07:40.560 Do you want to help the situation?
00:07:42.180 No, they just want to vent.
00:07:43.360 So yeah, women talk a lot, but they don't do a lot.
00:07:47.700 As many of you know, I was just banned on TikTok and we are demonetized on a daily basis on this platform.
