Michaela Peterson is Jordan Peterson's daughter and recently she was on Pierce Morgan and I
00:00:05.060
actually thought it was really interesting to see a clip of hers and this shows how on the
00:00:11.660
conservative side we are a little brainwashed and we do have double standards for men and for women
00:00:17.640
a lot of times I don't think this stuff is conscious like guys anybody that was born
00:00:22.460
honestly in the last hundred years has been brainwashed by feminism it's not necessarily
00:00:28.020
their fault but I want to point out a double standard that I saw in this clip
00:00:33.680
Miss Netherlands so at the weekend Ricky Valerie Coley who was a transgender entrant to Miss
00:00:41.800
Netherlands competition won the title so a biological male has been voted Miss Netherlands
00:00:48.920
and will now take part in Miss Universe Michaela your thoughts I hope it was Miss Universe
00:00:54.700
I'm kidding I'm kidding it's I don't even know how to react to these situations because women fought
00:01:01.660
so hard to get where we are today I was just looking at the picture of the Boston Marathon runner
00:01:07.540
in 1967 and it's this woman and she's being grabbed by men on the track because women weren't allowed to
00:01:12.680
compete that's where it started and now we're here and there are men competing in our sports and I have
00:01:20.140
no idea how feminism came a couple things that are incorrect about what she's talking about number one
00:01:26.960
saying that men and women are equal is evil because there is a natural hierarchy of things it is supposed
00:01:33.160
to go God men women children that is the natural hierarchy so feminism is and always has been a hate
00:01:42.000
group it has always been give me special treatment as women without the responsibility that comes with it
00:01:50.140
okay so this whole idea is like that there were waves of feminism and the first one was good
00:01:55.340
it was never good they were known for planning assassinations they were not particularly liked by
00:02:02.460
most women first wave feminism the majority of women didn't want to vote because it came with being
00:02:09.120
drafted um and now basically they wanted to give us special privileges without the responsibility that
00:02:16.060
comes with it the the woman that she's talking about is uh Catherine Switzer and we need to get this idea
00:02:23.880
out of our head that most of the women that were like fighting for women's rights were reasonable women
00:02:29.480
they were not they were the same type of women that we have and see as feminists today they believed in
00:02:35.940
the same ideology what I thought was interesting was she said it was wrong for a man to enter a woman's space
00:02:45.260
and I see this all the time with the conservatives they will always say it is wrong for a man to
00:02:51.160
enter a woman's space however it's interesting because Catherine Switzer was the first woman to
00:02:59.180
officially run a Boston marathon and she was attacked by the race organizer so I I kept thinking why would
00:03:07.340
the race organizer attack her that doesn't make any sense but the truth of the matter was it was a
00:03:14.100
all men's race and the feminists very well could have started their own race and had a woman run
00:03:22.680
marathon I bet they even could have gotten sponsors or figured out a way like what do you need to run
00:03:29.380
a marathon you need a trail you know what like but the feminists thought to themselves let me invade the
00:03:36.220
men's spaces that's why the organizer of the marathon was like get out of here but it's interesting
00:03:41.240
because she co-signed a man a woman invading a man's space but she disavowed a man invading a woman's
00:03:50.020
space and it's really interesting to see those level of double standards on the right one is okay and
00:03:57.080
one isn't and I wanted to read to you guys because when you hear this stuff of these women that just
00:04:03.160
overcame and there are these evil people we have to deprogram this brainwashing there is usually more to
00:04:09.660
the story it's usually not what they painted out to be all right Catherine Switzer was involved in an
00:04:14.880
iconic moment in the 1967 Boston Marathon she was attacked by race director Jock Semple who tried to
00:04:22.240
throw her out while she was running but the pair later became good friends Switzer explains how that
00:04:27.720
day revolutionized women's running in the 1960s Switzer says there were negative view of women who did
00:04:33.700
exercise like long distance running which was based on myths the perception of women back then was I was
00:04:39.920
running amazingly enough was just 53 years ago when you were going to get big legs grow chest on your
00:04:45.160
hair and your uterus was going to fall out and it was widely perceived that it was quite socially
00:04:49.500
objectionable for women to participate in sports because they looked ardocious it looked like they
00:04:55.700
were working hard and they were sweating and of course not most women were very frightened of that image
00:05:01.040
because their whole thing about being feminine and attracting the opposite sex and being
00:05:05.180
accepted I thought they were missing out on this wonderful sense of speed and strength and really
00:05:10.000
empowerment she loved running and was coached by ex marathon runner Arnie Briggs a volunteer coach at
00:05:16.500
Syracuse University who took a 19 year old Switzer under his wing after hearing his marathon tales Switzer grew
00:05:23.720
impatient and told him she wanted to run the Boston Marathon now mind you the Boston Marathon I only know this
00:05:29.840
because my mom ran like marathons growing up and it's actually you have to qualify for it so it's
00:05:36.240
actually a really competitive marathon and I don't know if it maybe it was different at the time but
00:05:40.900
I know that like Boston Marathon is like the marathon of marathon my my dad it was so funny my mom would train
00:05:48.260
for months and just qualify for this marathon my dad he literally my dad is such a so goaded that he could
00:05:58.300
literally just run a marathon without training and he would qualify it was so funny uh but my point is
00:06:05.100
my point is you had to qualify and this was a men's only race so the women came in and said even though
00:06:14.800
this is a male space I must invade your space um he said a woman couldn't possibly do it and we had this
00:06:22.540
big argument after he said women are too weak and fragile to go 26.2 miles I said women in history have run
00:06:28.880
marathon distances including a woman at Boston the year before who ran the marathon she wasn't official
00:06:34.700
but she did it and he just wouldn't believe it so why didn't she just start a race for all the women
00:06:39.680
that wanted to run marathon like this is the crazy thing why do we have to go into men's spaces
00:06:48.220
I ran a marathon and let me tell you I don't think our bodies are built for it that was the worst day
00:06:55.180
of my life that was a horrible day that was oh my gosh my brother you know what's funny my brother
00:07:01.320
ran like 13 14 miles without even training with me men are just like kind of I kind of understood
00:07:07.440
what they're saying I'm like I had to train for months and I'm dying my brother can run almost half a
00:07:13.340
marathon without doing anything okay so in 1966 um she was the first woman to compete in the Boston
00:07:20.560
marathon but the 23 year old hid in a bush near the marathon lot start line and disguised herself in a
00:07:26.500
hoodie after she was disqualified from officially entering the race because of gender now it's just
00:07:32.560
funny because when the women disqualify men from entering a race because of gender it's celebrated
00:07:38.500
but when the men disqualify women from entering a race they're misogynist and what I want to show
00:07:45.980
is the double standards this is a double standard and what it does is we go into this victim mindset
00:07:53.060
it's a feminist mindset this idea that women were oppressed women in history have had more rights
00:08:00.160
than most men I'll repeat we didn't have to go to war and the other thing we don't talk about is
00:08:07.260
women didn't want to do sports if there was such a demand for women to run and do these sports even
00:08:13.740
today the only reason we have women's sports is because the men funded like if women it wasn't
00:08:20.180
because they hated women they discriminated against women I mean running 26.2 miles most people don't want
00:08:27.640
to do that like and I've done it and I'm telling you though I I that was one of the worst days of my life
00:08:34.380
I have never felt worse than when I ran that marathon so there wasn't like a ton of people
00:08:39.940
that were like oh I want to run a marathon that was more of a masculine interest back then they
00:08:46.640
didn't push women to have masculine interests the men did their thing the women did their thing it
00:08:52.940
wasn't like this camaraderie or this evil men that just didn't want the women in it I mean this guy
00:08:59.260
was like I made this marathon for men why is this chick running in the marathon
