Summary
In this episode of my reaction series, we are watching one of the most controversial anti-feminist debaters on YouTube, Milo Yiannopoulos. We have a fiery exchange in which Milo takes on one of his most heated debates about women in science, and his response is anything but predictable.
Transcript
00:00:00.000
we need to start much earlier than men okay milo you want to come in unbelievable astonishing
00:00:05.360
sexism but we have to teach teach young boys not to be boys so they won't be violent why is being
00:00:13.600
what up guys welcome to my reaction series so today we are watching milo yiannopoulos's best
00:00:19.360
moments so milo yiannopoulos if you guys didn't know was one of the early like
00:00:23.760
anti-feminist debaters on youtube at least when i've been around so i've been watching
0.77
00:00:28.160
conservative media for like a decade maybe 12-ish years um so like five to 10-ish years ago i mean
00:00:35.280
he was all over he had a huge following he was debating everybody and then he got cancelled i
00:00:41.120
i think wrongly but he did get cancelled and then now um i think he's kind of making a comeback but
00:00:47.680
i'm interested to see this debate like the gotcha moments and whatnot imbalances between men and
00:00:53.040
women have flipped and very recently and when young men may be allowed to finish this was the
1.00
00:00:58.880
sjw warriors oh my gosh in the early like like in 2010s i think that was peak whoa sorry i'm
00:01:06.640
talking about men darling um when there are women that have never been told no to know in their life
00:01:15.360
and now you think it's funny but this is this is based on an assumption that there ought to be some
00:01:18.880
kind of gender parity my suggestion is that there isn't we don't complain when women dominate
1.00
00:01:22.400
like nursing, we shouldn't complain when men dominate subjects like physics.
0.69
00:01:25.760
Sharp comebacks, quick wit and moments that leave his opponents speechless.
00:01:30.800
Get ready because this is Milo at his absolute best.
00:01:36.400
We have this fiery exchange in which Milo takes on one of the most heated debates
00:01:41.360
about women in science and his response is anything but predictable.
00:01:45.120
I think the issue here is that his comments are irresponsible in an environment where there is
00:01:49.920
such a strong gender imbalance still in the sciences I work as a teacher and
00:01:55.200
tutor and I am really passionate about encouraging young women girls at school
00:02:00.240
to study science to go into sciences and there's still an environment where a lot
00:02:04.000
of young girls still feel that science isn't for them there's a historical
00:02:07.860
reason for that back in the Renaissance time women were told that their brains
1.00
00:02:11.880
were were too soft to have a powerful skull that exercising our brains would
0.99
00:02:16.880
shrink our ovaries we're still coming back did someone say that exercising our brains will
00:02:23.880
shrink our ovaries i would love to see women exercise our brains more we just seem to not
1.00
00:02:28.560
be able to do it it's like women invent a bridge it falls or like women build something it doesn't
1.00
00:02:33.800
work i mean it just feels like we're kids like we're like we're like teenagers forever we just
00:02:40.300
can't do anything you know i actually think male teenagers i would employ over a woman
1.00
00:02:44.800
just kidding ha ha just kidding you know for legal purposes from that and we're in an environment
00:02:51.460
where we're desperately trying to dispel these stereotypes to dispel the image that science and
00:02:56.460
maths is more for boys than it is for girls and these types of comments potentially harmless in
00:03:02.280
terms of intent are actually really um reinforcing these stereotypes that we're trying to get away
00:03:08.400
from in terms of encouraging girls to go into science as a career we hear this a lot from
00:03:13.460
scientists in particular from a female scientist but the fact is that there are so there is some
1.00
00:03:17.700
reason to suppose that some that uh that there is an advantage to being a man in certain subjects
00:03:22.180
there's reason to suppose that gender essentialism biological yeah like the hard subjects i don't
00:03:26.260
think men really necessarily have an advantage i just think they work harder and they don't get
0.93
00:03:30.660
emotional and like you know and they're more willing to like do the hard things we're just
00:03:36.020
not willing to do hard things determinism whatever you want to call it the fact that there are male
00:03:39.780
brains and female brains may indeed have some basis in science now this is thrown out of the
0.61
00:03:43.940
window completely by by feminists and female academics who just refuse to accept that there's
1.00
00:03:47.940
any reason whatsoever why there might be a gender imbalance two things on that one actually the
1.00
00:03:52.180
science is very much still out on that and two if you look at equality in society if you look
00:03:56.740
for example at bangladesh versus norway what you notice is the number of women in science and
0.99
00:04:01.380
technology subjects actually goes down as societies get more because the more choice women have the
1.00
00:04:05.380
more we don't want to do the hard things we're like ooh hard things are easy you know it's so
00:04:09.620
simple when you really break it down but I think people complicate it too much
00:04:13.520
like I just got to believe what's in front of my eyes because women simply
1.00
00:04:17.240
don't make the same choices that female academics and feminists would like them
1.00
00:04:20.720
to women actually don't want to go into the sciences on the whole and when they
0.99
00:04:24.360
have every option available to them yeah we're begging them to go into the
00:04:27.720
sciences there's so many grants and programs but women don't want to do it I
1.00
00:04:31.040
don't want to do it like I want to study engineering no I want to be a youtuber
00:04:35.820
and to choose not to i don't think that's the issue i think it's about confidence
00:04:40.140
i think women suffer again we're not talking about all women we're talking about some women
00:04:43.980
we're talking about some men from lack of confidence and from something called imposter
00:04:47.660
syndrome syndrome where we attribute our successes to external factors and we lack the confidence to
00:04:52.700
actually believe that we are good enough to do it sorry to interrupt you but you know if if you're
00:04:56.060
going to get put off a career in science because i would just say you're not good enough
00:05:00.140
stop thinking you're good enough if you were good enough it would happen but we're not good enough
00:05:06.240
i think more people we got to be told we're just not we're not good it's all right you know
00:05:11.360
i tried to be a gymnast when i was a kid and the coach uh pulled my mom aside and was like look
00:05:16.580
not good enough you should put her in basketball and that's what my mom did you know one door
1.00
00:05:21.920
closes another one opens um you can't be an engineer go be a whore i'm sure you'd be good
1.00
00:05:26.660
that comment from a nobel prize winner um how committed were you really in the first place to
0.99
00:05:30.740
be excited women learn in a very different way women learn again not not all women but majority
00:05:37.460
of women learn in a way that's supportive that's nurturing that's encouraging i see that in the
00:05:41.380
students that i teach i see the girls that i teach go into um mixed sex six forms and get totally put
0.94
00:05:46.820
off because they're in a sink or swim environment they're in a competitive environment they're too
00:05:50.260
frightened to put up their hands so we shouldn't have competitiveness in science competitiveness
00:05:54.100
and science is bad we should segregate the sexes really that's what you're saying isn't it much
00:05:57.380
better much better in fact if what tim hunt said was exactly true what you're saying is that that
00:06:02.500
gender segregation would be a good thing you're saying mixed classes the competitiveness is bad
1.00
00:06:05.940
for women so maybe he's right maybe we should yes i yeah i think that's great because then
0.96
00:06:10.980
at least you know it's like the b team i don't have a problem with women going into this stuff
1.00
00:06:17.220
what i have a problem with is women like pretending we're on an a team when men are always working
1.00
00:06:21.540
for it they're like doing all the stuff for us separate labs out into female scientists and male
1.00
00:06:25.700
scientists important for women to be able to compete in a male environment but it's important
1.00
00:06:30.660
to help those women to support those women in terms of confidence and in terms of self-belief
00:06:35.140
because women are more naturally self-reflected again not all women a lot of men are like this
00:06:38.980
i think women naturally don't believe in ourselves because we know what's true like women have this
1.00
00:06:43.860
thing called imposter syndrome men don't have it really because men know when they get something
00:06:48.660
they earned it and deserve it where women are just given things and we don't earn the weird
1.00
00:06:52.740
sexist positions take isn't it so women can't really take it so we need to be extra specially
1.00
00:06:56.660
careful around them well it's brilliant being a gay man you can get away with murder you can do
1.00
00:07:02.260
anything i mean there's the one respect in which identity politics is brilliant you know um as a
0.99
00:07:06.340
gay man or a lesbian you can basically get away with murder you can be bitchy you can be sarcastic
1.00
00:07:09.700
you can be rude and abusive and you can do whatever whatever the hell you like and nobody
1.00
00:07:12.900
complains women i think really you know until very recently until possibly the last half decade
00:07:19.620
it was certainly true that women had all kinds of structural disadvantages in society that simply
1.00
00:07:23.620
isn't true anymore um i don't even think so i just i think that men still did the hearts like
00:07:28.820
how can you say that women had an advantage when men were dying in world war ii world war one
00:07:36.340
like what because women didn't get to go die in the coal mines like we don't know how good we
1.00
00:07:40.980
It's not true, for example, when women go for jobs in science, technology, and mathematics.
1.00
00:07:46.060
You know, a study came out, I think, two or three weeks ago in the U.S.
00:07:48.440
saying that women have a two-to-one advantage over men with the same qualifications
00:07:56.500
Like, I had a friend who was in supply chain, and that was what he said,
00:08:01.340
that there was a girl on my team that was in supply chain.
00:08:04.060
And he was like, yeah, she got that job easily.
00:08:06.460
Going for jobs and in the working life is actually that women are sort of structurally
0.99
00:08:12.740
advantaged, not disadvantaged, and that's happened very recently.
00:08:15.680
A study came out also to show that out of 65 countries, the UK has the highest discrepancy
00:08:20.220
between confidence amongst boys and girls in terms of how good they feel that they are.
00:08:24.300
Girls are coming out of school and not going into those careers because they feel they're
1.00
00:08:27.760
not good enough, they feel they're not welcomed into those careers, and actually those skills,
00:08:30.840
those very skills those very qualities that yes women do cry some women cry i have cried when i
00:08:37.640
felt out of my comfort zone when i have felt afraid but actually that didn't make me any
00:08:41.320
less good i cried when i came out of all my exams at cambridge and i did better than the boys and
00:08:45.480
actually women cried because yes so she's trying to compete again but exams doesn't mean you'd be
1.00
00:08:50.200
a better person it just means you're better like it doesn't mean you'll be better at the job you're
00:08:53.720
just better at taking a test and what it just seems like all the education system is geared
00:08:59.000
towards women to make us think we're these super competent people and then we go into the real
1.00
00:09:03.160
world and we're trash and that's why you see women graduating college and complaining they
1.00
00:09:07.480
can't get a job because if you could you would you know sensitive again not all women some
1.00
00:09:13.080
women lots of men too because they're sensitive because they're self-reflective because they're
00:09:16.600
empathic because they're passionate and they're willing to take on criticism they're willing to
00:09:20.600
look at themselves excuse me so tip on's right he's right the women cry but the implication
0.99
00:09:26.040
that that makes us at a disadvantage he said so he's right oh that's so fun i don't think he made
00:09:34.840
that implication what he was saying is that he finds that kind of what he said was he finds it
0.97
00:09:43.080
personally a distraction he said that he finds a distraction and he's a silly old man who doesn't
0.95
00:09:48.520
understand the latest you know um the latest sort of feminist politics on this what is he 73 years
0.51
00:09:54.040
So we can't expect him to be up on all of that kind of stuff.
00:10:00.520
And I think what we're witnessing, really, is a comment that would be perfectly unobjectionable
00:10:05.420
if it were over the dinner table or if it was, for example, your own granddad.
00:10:08.440
It would be unobjectionable if there were young girls present who were studying math and science at school.
00:10:12.840
Andrew Short has tweeted to say, he's made these comments, leaning to your point,
00:10:17.500
because he's a septuagenarian and he's from a bygone era.
00:10:22.680
but he is an old man and so do we have to forgive him of course i'm not talking about him and his
00:10:28.020
comments as him as a person i'm talking about what it does in terms of the environment that
00:10:33.320
we're bringing girls up into and a responsibility that women are given so many handouts and they
0.97
00:10:38.140
still complain that's a crazy thing it's like what more do women want to be happy we have easy jobs
1.00
00:10:43.320
we have little events in the city we have free events in the city we you can meet with celebrities
00:10:48.580
now you can get in contact with the top men in society like what more do women want what more
00:10:54.940
do you need people in positions of authority like he is to actually not perpetuate these negative
00:10:59.860
images about women it's it's really damaging when girls do a mass test in an environment where
1.00
00:11:04.860
they've been told that they're not going to be as good as girls if they do a mass test in that
00:11:08.420
environment and they identify themselves as girls they actually write their name as female on the
00:11:12.980
test they won't do as well in that environment because you're confusing different things you
00:11:16.760
it is true that teachers in general mark boys down but it's true that in STEM
00:11:23.480
subjects they mark boys up when you when you sort of do the blind test you know
00:11:28.280
where when when teachers know the gender of the person who's studying boys get
00:11:33.920
mocked up in the sciences I'm not talking about that I'm talking about the
00:11:36.320
stereotype threat which is she she's so naggy she just interrupts interrupts
1.00
00:11:40.460
interrupts when girls identify themselves as being female by writing
00:11:44.040
their own name on the top of the test, they will do worse. It has been shown that they
00:11:47.660
will do worse because they know that they're being, that they feel that they will probably
00:11:53.160
But women perform better at university, more girls are getting, well, okay, so we have to
1.00
00:11:54.800
ask, you have to ask if this is really a problem. More women are going to university, they're
1.00
00:11:58.440
getting higher grades at school, they're getting higher grades at university, more women graduate.
1.00
00:12:02.180
Women in their thirties earn more than men for the same work in their thirties in the
0.95
00:12:06.220
UK and the US now. They are two to one more likely to get a job with the same qualifications.
00:12:10.620
Where's the structural bias against women here? I don't see the problem here. What
0.99
00:12:13.440
What I do see actually is a very reasonable complaint from a lot of young men, not my
00:12:17.500
generation maybe, you know, I'm sort of 10 years older than them, but from a lot of young
00:12:20.120
men who are going to university, going into the workplace, and they don't recognise the
00:12:23.740
world you're describing because it's not their experience.
00:12:25.920
When they go for a job, they are discriminated against because people are desperate to hire
00:12:29.820
When they go to university, more women are doing better all around them, and they feel
00:12:33.420
as though being held up to feminine standards of behaviour, being whacked on Ritalin because
0.66
00:12:36.680
they're too boisterous in the playground, or not getting the same support that women
1.00
00:12:40.260
okay make a final point and then i'll come to you of all a-level physics students only 20
00:12:47.460
of girls how can you possibly say that we're in because women aren't as good like i don't need to
0.99
00:12:51.700
go break down all these studies they just have eyes i mean that's the thing like all these
00:12:56.420
commentators they're like study study study i'm like i just have eyes women in society just don't
0.87
00:13:01.620
really like doing math we're like oh that's too hard let me go be an influencer i mean women will
1.00
00:13:07.780
have degrees in math and then go be influencers instead because that's way more fun it's an equal
00:13:12.580
environment where girls are coming out and doing studying as science as much as boys are we are
00:13:17.700
absolutely not and we need to make sure that girls feel that science is for them and it's not just
00:13:22.420
the boys and they're not being pushed out of it because of who they are and because they might
00:13:25.940
cry and because they might be self-reflective but this is this is based on an assumption that there
00:13:30.020
ought to be some kind of gender parity my suggestion is that there isn't we don't complain
0.97
00:13:33.220
when women dominate subjects like nursing we shouldn't complain when men dominate subjects
00:13:36.820
like physics we're gonna have to leave it there we could chat for another hour i would love it
00:13:42.020
if men dominated nursing i think we wouldn't have all the health um problems on this milo
0.99
00:13:49.140
doctor thank you guys very much to do for joining us in that exchange shows every time i've noticed
00:13:53.380
every time women going in into an industry it tends to just go to trash like every industry
1.00
00:13:58.020
people complain about like imagine the dmv going there it's all women um healthcare you go in there
0.99
00:14:04.980
it's all women education you go in there it's all exactly why milo remains one of the most
1.00
00:14:10.580
polarizing voices out there sharp unfiltered and impossible to ignore we have to teach teach young
00:14:17.460
boys not to be boys so they won't be violent why is being violent get out get up next the
00:14:23.220
conversation takes a heated turn when the idea of teaching boys and girls the same way comes up
00:14:28.100
and milo wastes no time pushing back in his signature style and that's because we tell
00:14:33.220
children when they're one year old that boys and girls are different and this causes boys to grow
00:14:39.140
up without any emotional intelligence people think oh yeah we need gender equality because
00:14:42.980
this will get girls into stem subjects which is true but even more important than that we need
00:14:47.380
gender equality so that boys won't be violent there's a wonderful charity based in Edinburgh
00:14:52.660
called zero tolerance which is teaching gender equality to child minders so that they can teach
00:14:58.660
children that they're equal they have equal opportunities and they do it specifically to
00:15:02.100
reduce violence from men to women when they're adults we need to start much earlier than men
0.76
00:15:07.140
okay milo you want to come in unbelievable astonishing sexism we have to teach teach
00:15:13.380
young boys not to be boys so they won't be violent why is being violent
00:15:17.060
get out i'm sorry like generally we teach boys and girls that they're that they're um the same
00:15:24.740
so it's like a natural hatred for and lack of trusting for masculinity when really we shouldn't
00:15:30.180
trust women you shouldn't trust women it's the women that are violent it's not the men
1.00
00:15:37.220
that's a that's a problem they are different when we do i think if you have a son and a daughter
00:15:42.100
your son is way more likely to be abused by a woman than your daughter is to be actually abused
1.00
00:15:47.460
you might lie about abuse but like actually abused by experiments on young babies and um even on
00:15:53.460
related animals we know that certain children go for certain toys boys and girls are different give
00:15:58.980
you some context for all of this um you have to understand a little bit about the history of
00:16:03.140
feminism um there have been two main strands of course because of course men aren't allowed to
0.97
00:16:09.540
speak about anything that isn't to do with men i'm going to talk to you a little bit about the
00:16:17.700
problems that men are experiencing in society and since you're not a man perhaps you could like to
00:16:21.460
don't give it a rush for a second um so there is a wider context in which um men are suffering
00:16:27.780
slightly even 10 years ago it would have been ridiculous to say it um but very recently um
00:16:32.900
we've seen a lot of men have been when it comes to like the family court system men have been
00:16:36.660
suffering for 50 years they just don't complain men have been suffering in workplace death they
00:16:41.620
don't come like men have had issues for 100 years and they literally just don't men are not people
00:16:47.300
that complain structural advantages to being a woman crop up in education in the workplace under
1.00
00:16:52.500
30 um women earn more than men for the same work in the uk and the us now which is an extraordinary
00:16:56.820
statistic and something that people have to be very very carefully convinced of because it sounds
00:17:00.980
sounds absurd but there is a sense in which um men particularly young men probably men our age
00:17:06.500
haven't necessarily experienced it but younger men 20 year olds um there's an enormous problem
00:17:10.900
i read about this last year i call it the sexiness of men checking out society checking out of
00:17:14.740

00:17:28.740
and very recently and when young men may be allowed to finish so i'm talking i'm talking
00:17:33.460

here doing it flagrantly and without even apologizing we just we just heard that it we
00:17:50.660
