What role does feminism play in fighting sexual assault, and what role does it play in supporting survivors of sexual assault? In this episode, we discuss the role feminism played in the Weinstein scandal and the role it played in standing up to powerful men.
Transcript
00:00:00.000
saying that she made him as like Indian sex slave. So today's topic, I actually think
0.99
00:00:06.940
that we have a new hero on our hands. I think women have asked for men to be emotionally
1.00
00:00:12.660
available. And women have asked for men to stop being abusive, to stop, you know, sexually
00:00:19.280
exploiting women. And to be fair, I do think there have been problems in history, right? I mean,
00:00:26.180
we can admit that uh well weinstein i i do believe most of those women were consensual
0.98
00:00:31.620
um if not all let's keep it a buck um that that's wrong right you can't have people
00:00:37.060
like sleeping with each other for jobs right that's we can all agree that's not fair if anything
0.98
00:00:42.580
that's not fair to the women that don't sleep with their boss for work so i looked up some of
1.00
00:00:48.340
the feminist um positions now they said that they're they one of their grievances is sexual
1.00
00:00:53.860
violence it's widespread they say it's systemic they said it's rooted in patriarchy and male
00:01:00.580
power and bail imbalances they frame harassment as tools of male dominance that perpetuates
00:01:07.220
women's subordination high profile cases like weinstein show how powerful men in the workplace
0.89
00:01:13.300
are hollywood hollywood political figures and other fields exploit women you know it's whoredom
0.69
00:01:20.420
I mean, sorry, vulnerability. They're vulnerable, not horrid. I didn't say that. No, no, I would never say that. The moment highlighted that this wasn't bad apples, but apparently it's normalized behavior of unequal power imbalances.
0.59
00:01:36.640
And, you know, I think to some degree we can all accept that, you know, obviously Weinstein was a powerful guy and he had a lot of power in Hollywood and requiring women to sleep with him for roles is not correct.
00:01:51.560
Right. That's not the correct thing to do. It's immoral.
00:01:54.740
But I would think that feminists would also say that female bosses sleeping with their male employees is also a power imbalance.
1.00
00:02:06.020
It's also a power imbalance, but we'll get to that later.
1.00
00:02:09.920
They wanted to break the silence and stop the victim blaming and the shaming.
1.00
00:02:15.460
Survivors, the whores, I mean, sorry, sorry, survivors.
1.00
00:02:20.000
I did not, oh, I didn't, shut up, shut up, shut up.
1.00
00:02:28.620
Survivors were urged to speak out and say you're not alone, hashtag me too.
00:02:32.460
It countered narratives that blamed victims. You know, you can't ask questions like, what are you
00:02:38.420
wearing? Why didn't you report sooner? Or did you voluntarily stick his dick in your mouth? I mean,
00:02:44.120
my bad, my bad. I didn't say that. It empathized empathy, healing, and shifting shame onto the
00:02:51.800
perpetrators and enabling the systems. Early education on consent was a key demand.
00:02:58.280
Now, next, they asked us to believe women.
0.95
00:03:02.360
They said, women, we need to take these allegations seriously.
0.99
00:03:07.180
All these whores, I mean women, have been saying that they've been, you know, being taken advantage of for millennia.
1.00
00:03:15.700
Testimonies should be presumed to be credible, especially given the barriers of reporting.
0.99
00:03:21.900
You know, fear of retaliation, lack of evidence, and institutional cover-ups.
00:03:26.260
But I'd imagine that when men, women are in positions of power, we would accept the same thing.
0.98
00:03:36.520
This moment challenged high proof standards and protected the power, that protected the powerful and argued that public accountability filled gaps where law failed.
00:03:47.200
You know, so the idea is we shouldn't have to use law enforcement, but we should be able to just tell our stories on social media, have everybody clap and hold the men accountable.
00:03:59.820
We could see this in the Harvey Weinstein case.
00:04:02.920
Put in put in the chat any other any other court cases you could think of.
00:04:09.540
that supreme court judge intersectionality and inclusivity originator tarana burke centered
0.98
00:04:16.900
black women girls of color and marginalized communities many feminists push for the movement
1.00
00:04:22.740
to address how race class sexualities and other factors shape experiences of violence though
0.97
00:04:29.140
critics within feminism noted it's sometimes centered white high-profile voices they demanded
0.99
00:04:38.180
structural change, not just individual stories. Beyond naming and shaming, calls included better
1.00
00:04:45.120
workplace policies, legal reforms, sexual harassment laws, cultural shifts in masculinity
00:04:52.120
and consent, and resources for survivors. Now, yeah, Tory Lanez, Meg Thee Stallion, that's another
00:04:58.960
one. Now, my opinion is that conservatives are simps, and the reason conservatives are simps is
00:05:05.520
because they keep demanding women be traditional. And I think this is the ultimate simpery. And I
00:05:10.940
know on paper it sounds nice, but when women are traditional in a modern concept text, all it is
1.00
00:05:18.820
is sending men to the slaughterhouse because what happens is, is they're on the hook for child
1.00
00:05:23.000
support. They're on the hook for alimony. They're on the hook for Steven Crowder and his ex-wife.
00:05:30.420
there's another so it's really saying women even though you guys demanded to be modern women
00:05:36.820
you guys um are behaving in a modern way we're still going to give you the benefits of
00:05:42.020
traditionalism what kind of simping is that so what i say the way to solve feminism is to let
0.55
00:05:48.100
it solve itself ladies you get the freedom you ask for women said they want to pick their own
1.00
00:05:54.020
husbands. We want freedom of choice and sexuality. Well, I say, so be it. And women keep banging
1.00
00:06:02.980
criminals, drug dealers, getting STDs. Women are catching AIDS now. The gays have entered the chat.
1.00
00:06:10.260
They gave us an STD. You know what I mean? Women said that they wanted to direct movies. And so
1.00
00:06:15.140
Weinstein said, I'm going to jail. Here you go, ladies. Enjoy the franchise. Women ruined Star
1.00
00:06:20.740
war. So women are going to keep getting money for doing nothing and ruining it, wasting it. Women
1.00
00:06:26.060
keep getting the opportunities of a lifetime. Like the director of marketing at Bud Light,
1.00
00:06:32.060
opportunity of a lifetime, gave the, had the great idea of giving a beer to a trans, right?
00:06:39.380
Transgender person who is so amazing and special and awesome YouTube, nothing against you guys.
00:06:44.800
Ha ha. Women said, I want to accuse people of things that will ruin their careers.
0.97
00:06:49.700
Well, then you are now going to have to take their jobs, ladies.
1.00
00:06:54.780
And now men are going to falsely accuse you.
1.00
00:06:59.860
Women are going to be the new middle class, where men that sell to women are the upper class.
0.85
00:07:03.940
And men that do the dirty and dangerous jobs are going to be the lower class.
0.98
00:07:07.100
Women are going to be middle class, make more money than lower class men,
0.76
00:07:11.440
and still end up with less because of our terrible spending habits.
1.00
00:07:14.980
Women said they wanted to work like men, and now we're chained to our laptops.
0.59
00:07:18.980
Men that view women as people, right, say, okay, that's what you want. Here you go, ladies. Good
0.99
00:07:25.940
luck. And let them deal with the consequences. Conservative men want to say, yes, I'm going to
00:07:31.620
pay for everything regardless of how you treat me, regardless of what you do. They're the biggest
00:07:37.100
simps. If anything, the liberal guys that do this open stuff, I'd argue are less simpy, right?
00:07:42.620
because who's cucked? A man who's in an open relationship and out cucking his wife like
0.88
00:07:49.260
destiny or Crowder who's divorced and paying 30k a month to his ex bitch while she bangs another
1.00
00:07:55.120
guy. You know what I mean? So today I am going to show you the solution to feminism
1.00
00:08:02.300
and that's believe all men and let men be emotionally available. We've asked, we've said
00:08:10.360
men you have the toxic masculinity let's be emotionally available let's let them emote
00:08:18.160
let's let the men speak their truth we're gonna we're gonna react to this you are too funny because
00:08:26.160
this story we just talked about it did not cross your social feeds which says this actually speaks
00:08:32.560
well of your character that your algorithm knows that this story is just not not for caitlin cody
00:08:38.200
isn't that funny all right we're talking we're kicking up we like to talk about our trender
00:08:42.040
stories yeah you know one of the big ones over the weekend this bombshell sex harassment suit
00:08:48.760
against the woman on the right later branded a complete fabrication by the man uh right there
00:08:58.360
man on the right let's clarify so you got these two guys right now sorry these two people now this
00:09:04.360
guy on the right accused the girl on the left of sexually harassing him and these claims were kind
0.58
00:09:11.960
of crazy okay these claims um saying that she made him as like indian sex slave okay so he
0.86
00:09:21.480
detailed graphic descriptions in the complaint of repeated non-consensual sexual act describing as
1.00
00:09:28.280
turning him into a sex slave drugging him using racial slurs like little brown boy indian comments
0.99
00:09:35.560
about his wife's ethnicity career threat saying i fucking own you and uninvited visits to his
1.00
00:09:42.420
apartment anonymous witnesses claiming incidents like her showing up naked and inviting the
0.99
00:09:50.420
witness to a threesome in september of 2024 plus other encounters of him her being handsy at a
00:09:57.460
concert. Ran his own affirmation citing PTSD supported by a later from a psychotherapist
00:10:05.860
referencing his support reported systems. He's had insomnia. He's claimed he has ample evidence.
00:10:13.480
However, there was an internal JP Morgan investigation. They reviewed emails, phone
00:10:20.260
recordings, devices, and interviewed colleagues, and they found zero evidence. And Reyna allegedly
00:10:28.920
refused to cooperate or provide key facts and details, while Hajdini, which is the woman,
00:10:37.220
fully cooperated. They were colleagues, not in direct reporting line, and they had different
00:10:44.920
managing directors. She says it's a complete fabrication. Her lawyers state she never engaged
00:10:51.900
in any inappropriate conduct and has never been to the location where the sexual assault
00:10:57.660
supposedly took place. Now, apparently there's some credibility issues with this guy. Apparently
00:11:03.100
he faked his father's death in 2024 to get three months of paid leave. And apparently he had a
00:11:11.060
chatbot conversations and described very similar allegations, but referred to the perpetrator as
00:11:18.100
he. He claimed he had ample evidence. And he attempted a multi-million dollar settlement
00:11:25.560
negotiation with J.P. Morgan before suing. There's no evidence. J.P. Morgan's probe provides
00:11:33.340
the most substantive documentary so far and found nothing. The case has sparked intense debate
00:11:39.700
online while viewing it as a potential me too false allegation others note that a civil suits
00:11:46.660
can proceed with lower burdens of proof there remains an active lawsuit so let's let's play the
00:11:53.580
rest of this clip one second see if there's anything i missed yeah so caitlin this was um
00:11:59.780
the only way i can compare it it would be like 50 shades of gray only gender reversal okay so he
00:12:07.500
accused her about his boss but they weren't in love no no no no no he said it was like a
00:12:13.340
absolutely wild i mean the the what was in this lawsuit against her took the internet by storm
00:12:18.900
so that was step one of this story i mean i full disclosure i i was hearing about this from um
00:12:24.820
several text messages no way did you hear about this ponce did you okay okay so that was step one
00:12:30.060
this was like late last week lawsuit then it comes yeah the lawsuit his against her and we're just
0.85
00:12:35.420
think Fifty Shades of Grey, genders reverse, right? Only in a harassing way, not good, like,
1.00
00:12:40.760
not consensual. Sure. All right. Then it comes out, this guy's lawsuit was a complete fabrication.
00:12:49.060
How did they find that out? Listen, I haven't read the complaint myself, but they are now saying
00:12:55.580
this is a complete fabrication. He's a disgruntled former employee, JP Morgan, and now he's going to
00:13:03.860
get completely sued by her because now there are so like in today's inner world of the internet
00:13:11.780
if the interwebs are insane right now so like countless ai videos and just like it's it's spun
1.00
00:13:18.540
out of control and so now the the the script is flipped and this poor woman has had her life
00:13:26.700
turned completely upside down by what is purported to be a complete fabrication i think she's gonna
0.93
00:13:32.620
come out on top obviously because chase has to protect her now oh yeah because her name has been
00:13:37.340
smeared by this man yes and he is going to be destroyed in the comment section of anything
00:13:43.160
that is posted and people out there you guys you are hilarious like social media for me is just
00:13:50.300
going straight to the comments because i know what people come up with is so funny and then you and
00:13:56.460
then you add ai to that and it is it's just it spins out of control out of control so like you
00:14:03.940
you cannot put this air back in the balloon sir now i've got to read the details of this
1.00
00:14:08.740
so again let's go back to the feminist arguments right the woman was in a position of power
1.00
00:14:17.420
we need to break the silence and stop victim blaming we need to urge men to speak up and show
1.00
00:14:26.060
that they're not alone. We can't ask, why didn't you report sooner? We can't ask for the facts
00:14:33.140
or what was he wearing? I mean, he came to, oh, okay, just because women can't control themselves
1.00
00:14:40.520
looking at a man in a suit. We're going to ask, what were you wearing? Maybe are the ladies saying
0.93
00:14:46.700
he was asking for it? We must acknowledge that sexual violence is widespread and systemic.
00:14:55.100
It's rooted in patriarchy and power imbalances.
0.99
00:14:58.900
I mean, this is a tool of female dominance that are in positions of power.
00:15:03.780
We need to take these allegations seriously and believe men.
0.98
00:15:08.080
There's many barriers to reporting, fear of retaliation, lack of evidence, institutional
00:15:13.840
cover-ups, and we have had a full movement that challenged high proof standards.
00:15:22.600
Let's focus on accountability over due process concerns in public discourse.
00:15:29.820
Perpetrators should face professional, social, and sometimes legal consequences.
00:15:35.860
The focus on naming abusers is to spark broader change.
00:15:41.500
And remember, she's white passing, he's brown.
0.64
00:15:51.360
she's whiter she's browner therefore free now the next um the next story we're going to talk about
00:15:59.440
with this these issues so really um i think that this man is a hero a hero amongst men
0.78
00:16:07.660
speaking out about the injustices and the power imbalances that are against men in this country
00:16:15.640
And if you don't believe him, you are part of the problem.
