Transcript
00:00:00.000
So great, you know that you can never fully become a woman if you're so good at science.
1.00
00:00:03.720
Because, sorry honey, but the science is pretty solid there.
00:00:07.760
Unless something just completely changes in the next year, you're going to be a man forever, unfortunately.
00:00:30.000
Hello, and welcome to Misunderstood, the show for the culturally and politically misunderstood lady, gent, etc.
00:00:53.040
And today we're going to be talking about annoying women.
1.00
00:00:58.660
And then another woman who's not a woman at all.
0.89
00:01:08.760
But we're going to kick it off with talking about one of the most annoying women ever.
1.00
00:01:16.920
You guys should let us know who you think is the most annoying of the women we discussed today.
1.00
00:01:37.900
AOC, as you know, is Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez, who is known by her initials AOC.
00:01:42.640
She's an American politician and activist and far left, far left communist socialist.
00:01:51.740
Well, yeah, she somehow is able to afford a Tesla.
00:01:57.220
But anyway, as you maybe know, last year in 2021, the Met Gala happened and she was invited.
00:02:17.420
Yeah, but all of those gowns are lent to all of them.
00:02:25.420
Yeah, we'll let you know because we did recently get an invitation.
00:02:33.360
You know the people in the back with the masks on?
00:02:38.680
Anyway, AOC wore this white gown and in red text it said, tax the rich on it.
0.93
00:02:46.920
Well, and also, who is she hanging out with?
0.97
00:02:49.280
Literally the richest, wealthiest people in the world?
00:02:53.160
So there was some, I think it might have been in this article, but there were some really
00:02:58.540
And one of them was like, and obviously the obvious take is like, how hypocritical, obviously.
00:03:07.140
And then this one guy was like, what she did was she wanted to go to a fancy event and
00:03:11.560
And then in order to offset all that, she just slapped tax the rich on it.
1.00
00:03:17.220
It's like super lazy, but it's like, it's no more than that.
00:03:20.580
It's like, you don't have to look very far into it.
00:03:24.860
But couldn't be seen there without making a scene.
00:03:27.120
And she loves to be the center of attention.
1.00
00:03:37.520
It's weird that she'd wear a wedding dress to the Met Gala.
00:03:42.880
Anyway, well, that's not why we're talking about her.
00:03:44.920
And that's not the only reason why she's annoying.
1.00
00:03:47.020
Apparently she's being investigated by House Ethics Committee for her $35,000 Met Gala tickets
0.67
00:03:53.120
while having the audacity to wear the Tax the Rich designer dress at the event.
00:04:03.840
It says, Representative Ocasio-Cortez may have violated the House gift rule by accepting free admission
00:04:10.420
for herself and boyfriend to the Met Gala event and receiving related gifts before, during, or after the event,
00:04:17.320
including the use of custom design dress, limousine service, the use of the Carlisle Hotel,
00:04:22.380
professional hair and makeup services, and any other related good or service is what the complaint against her said.
0.96
00:04:29.420
The U.S. House of Representatives Committee on Ethics has stated that, they say, they put out a statement saying,
00:04:36.580
the committee notes that the mere fact of a referral or an extension of the mandatory disclosure of such an extension,
00:04:41.880
blah, blah, blah, name, blah, blah, blah, does not in itself indicate any violation that has occurred.
00:04:46.440
Basically, they're like, she's innocent until proven guilty.
00:04:51.160
And she thinks that is, well, she thinks she's innocent as well.
00:04:53.480
She thinks that the case will be dismissed against her.
00:04:56.080
But she also, she's a pretty confident lady.
1.00
00:05:04.000
Yeah, but it's really not because she's going to get away with it because they always do.
00:05:09.880
You know, she's got a lot of support, it seems, from the Democrat Party.
00:05:19.480
It's just like she could have put out one of her, like, little snarky TikToks and been like,
00:05:23.740
hey guys, just want to let you know that, like, I was invited to this event
00:05:27.560
and I decided to donate the money that I would have received to, like.
00:05:33.040
Like, have some, like, stand by your convictions.
00:05:39.400
She gets to practice, like, she doesn't practice what she preaches.
0.95
00:05:49.320
You know, she's the representative for New York's 14th Congressional District since 2019.
0.98
00:05:58.340
She has, like, millions of social media followers.
00:06:06.940
Well, I think you should follow the leader of your country on the most.
00:06:10.900
Like, if you're not doing that, then it's like you're closing your eyes.
00:06:17.580
Her team, her office, put out a statement saying,
00:06:20.200
the Congresswoman has always taken ethics incredibly seriously,
00:06:22.640
refusing any donations from lobbyists, corporations, or other special interests.
00:06:37.860
Especially, well, the thing is, anyone who likes to, you know,
00:06:43.200
then hang out with them and be all chummy in their presence,
00:06:45.800
wearing an expensive gown at a $35,000, like, event.
00:06:53.080
Like, they said the hotel and the hair and the makeup.
00:06:55.100
Like, plus, I wonder if the vehicle she used to get there was a gas guzzling vehicle.
00:07:00.100
Because I'm pretty sure she's pretty keen on her environmentalism,
00:07:07.460
Allegedly, because she hates free speech or something.
0.92
00:07:16.680
So, Khloe Kardashian was like, this is barely news, but she's just so annoying.
0.99
00:07:25.620
She's like, guys, I'm 123 pounds, and I was, like, pulling over 100 pounds.
00:07:37.720
So, it says to optimize your health, the health of your body,
00:07:40.220
you should be able to squat and deadlift 1.5 times your body weight.
00:08:00.540
My issue with it is, like, I don't care how many pounds you weigh,
00:08:05.760
It's so easy for really tall people to be like, I weigh one pound.
00:08:09.100
It's like, yeah, okay, some of us are, you know,
00:08:16.340
Well, I think if you're taller, you'd weigh more.
00:08:18.600
I don't know, because your weight's distributed more, distributed.
00:08:21.820
No, you're going to weigh more if you're taller.
00:08:25.180
No, I get that, but I just mean it's easier to look slender.
00:08:29.420
Because your weight is more evenly spread out throughout your body.
00:08:32.460
My thing here is, like, why does the Daily Mail write so many articles about the Kardashians?
00:08:41.520
I looked into it, and apparently there are two main theories.
00:08:44.320
One is that the Daily Mail gets paid by the Kardashians to write these articles,
00:08:48.300
and then other people are saying it's because the Kardashians produce clicks.
00:08:52.660
But my question is, if that was the reason, why would all the articles be so positive?
00:08:59.680
They write terrible things about Meghan Markle, who, yeah, is also annoying.
0.99
00:09:04.240
I know this is going off topic a little bit, but I'm just like, why do they get so much positive attention from the Daily Mail?
00:09:10.200
Like, there can be, like, five articles in a day about that family, and it's like, Kim Kardashian glows in her slender whatever.
00:09:17.180
Well, they are also the most, like, famous family in the world, arguably.
00:09:20.580
I know, but wouldn't there be negative articles, too?
00:09:33.400
My issue with this, though, is that Khloe always complains on her show, The Kardashians,
0.99
00:09:38.900
how she's so anxious on social media and all the haters, and she hates being in the spotlight, and she hates attention.
00:09:44.280
Then it's like, you're clearly posting this for attention.
00:09:47.500
Like, I don't give a shit how much you weigh, Khloe.
00:09:50.680
Like, I want to hear about how much you love your kid or something.
00:09:54.000
I don't even want to hear from you at all, frankly.
00:09:55.480
But if I have to, I would love it to be about, you know, maybe parenting or, like, something fruitful.
00:10:00.160
Maybe some of the cool work you're doing with your clothing brand, you know?
00:10:04.780
She's like, I'm so skinny, but, like, so strong.
00:10:09.380
You know how easy it is for rich people like you to be skinny?
00:10:14.720
You don't even have to raise your kid, technically.
00:10:16.540
Well, clearly you can't because of those nails.
0.87
00:10:19.060
Their nails are, like, this long, and they're like, you're changing a baby, an infant baby
0.81
00:10:36.460
And also, if she's so strong, don't you gain more weight, technically, when you have more
00:10:40.940
So, she has even, like, that's, oh, my God, she's even skinnier because muscle is fat.
1.00
00:10:47.060
It's just super annoying, and you set such a terrible example for women, including your
1.00
00:11:01.200
But the article is annoying because it's, so, this is from the New York Post.
00:11:12.400
Kate Winslet says, my agent was asked about my weight when I was young.
00:11:16.720
So, this, I mean, I don't have much to say on this other than the fact that when she was
00:11:21.720
young, her agent would constantly get calls from producers asking, like, what is her weight?
00:11:28.940
The people that are annoying are the producers.
00:11:35.320
To kind of just, just to be the devil's advocate.
00:11:42.240
So, the thing is, she does, she beats me behind the scenes.
00:12:00.180
But, technically, when you're an actor, you are, like, they, they do have a right to know
00:12:06.980
Just like getting on a, like, a small aircraft.
00:12:09.720
It's like when you, how do you look next to someone?
00:12:16.920
Kat and I are so much skinnier in real life than we are on the show, you guys.
00:12:24.320
But I do, I do appreciate her kind of coming out because she has been one of those women
00:12:29.300
in Hollywood where she's never really conformed to that, like, anorexic skinny.
00:12:34.640
And I've always, I've always appreciated that about her.
00:12:37.540
And that's, the, the, the thing about this is why it's so sad.
00:12:40.480
And we'll talk about this in terms of, like, Hilary Duff and other people.
00:12:44.320
I think we should skip to Jennifer Lawrence one next.
00:12:49.040
But it's, like, the fact that that's news, like, oh my God, I didn't, I was in a bone
00:13:00.260
It's, it's not your fault that you're not as skinny as us, Kate Winslet.
00:13:07.900
And I also think it's important for people to just start recognizing that everybody has a
00:13:17.240
You have your own figure, your own structure, and that's fine.
00:13:20.600
Like, just try to be the healthiest version of you.
00:13:26.280
Like, no, that, that is, that is not, that is not God given.
00:13:30.140
That is not the healthiest version of you, Lizzo.
00:13:36.220
And speaking of which, we have this article from BuzzFeed about Jennifer Lawrence said
00:13:39.880
her weight was the biggest conversation when she was cast in Hunger Games and explained
0.95
00:13:45.860
So at first I was like, yeah, like you tell him, girl.
00:13:48.920
But then I read it and it was like, with such a focus on how Katniss would look on screen,
00:13:54.160
Jennifer recalled discussions about her body and whether it would be necessary for her to
00:13:57.540
lose weight in order to play a character who had been, who had grown up fighting starvation.
00:14:11.140
Because she is supposed to be starving, but also it's a book series for children.
00:14:25.000
And while she's doing that, I'm just going to point out, though, that actors lose weight for
00:14:32.140
And I think that that's something that should not continue in Hollywood.
00:14:39.880
Like Mila Kunis and Natalie Portman in The Black Swan.
00:14:43.840
You have cancer in, like, if your character has cancer.
00:14:46.600
Christian Bale in The Machinist lost 63 pounds.
00:14:59.800
Okay, so she said, The Hunger Games was an awesome responsibility.
00:15:05.760
And there were so many different opinions on what this action figure for children was
00:15:10.540
So despite facing pressure from executives to lose weight, Jennifer emphasized that dieting
0.54
00:15:15.340
simply wasn't something she was willing to do, if not for her sake, then for the benefit
00:15:21.960
That's a fair point because it is a movie for children.
00:15:25.540
No, and I would just like to say, as someone who suffers from, like, body dysmorphia to
00:15:32.260
an extent, when I was young, I was a teenager when this came out.
00:15:34.900
And I remember seeing her because I wanted to be an actor at the time.
00:15:37.580
And I thought it was very powerful that she, like, she is a beautiful woman.
00:15:48.380
Like, she's so beautiful, but also looks like a human being.
00:15:56.380
And I hate when there's these super, super skinny women who are playing, like, action
1.00
00:16:01.300
And it's like, you can't even lift a cup full of water.
00:16:06.060
And just for those who don't know, Hunger Games is, like, a book series where basically
00:16:10.880
it's very dystopian, and they choose kids, choose their names out of a hat, and they
00:16:14.660
have to go and kill each other, and then someone wins.
00:16:17.700
But how could I believe that Katniss was able to win the Hunger Games and kill big, strong
00:16:23.180
men and other people if she's this weak little duck?
0.99
00:16:27.380
Like, she had to be strong enough to, you know, kill someone.
00:16:31.060
She doesn't actually ever physically kill them.
00:16:38.460
You gotta be strong to be an archer, because we actually did it.
00:17:02.540
Yeah, so there's this really annoying thing that happened where, so Hilary Duff is 35 now,
00:17:10.920
Exactly, and people are like, so she was on the cover of something recently?
00:17:19.220
Um, yeah, Australian health or something like that.
00:17:21.920
Yeah, so there's this picture of her, and she's looking fit and healthy, and people are
00:17:24.580
like, oh my god, she looks so good for a 35.
1.00
00:17:28.440
And as a 33-year-old, I was extremely triggered by this, because, like, what, are we dead?
00:17:40.640
And it just, with all this stuff with Balenciaga and, like, pedophilia, it's like, no wonder.
00:17:46.000
No wonder everyone's a freaking pedo, because we're literally putting women up to pasture
1.00
00:17:50.180
who are still gorgeous and fertile, like, well, and I mean, no wonder people like Ariana Grande
1.00
00:17:55.860
are infantilizing themselves, running around looking like babies.
00:18:00.520
Because otherwise, you look like you're considered an old hag.
1.00
00:18:03.520
Exactly, and no wonder everyone's plasticking their face and getting faceless, and, because
00:18:08.160
it's like, even Kim Kardashian, who's 42, it's like, she's trying to look 18.
00:18:13.280
The way she dresses and the way she carries herself, it's like, you can't, because I get it, because
00:18:24.100
No, exactly, and although men do face pressure in Hollywood, too, and we have an episode coming
00:18:29.500
out where we talk about this in the coming months, so just stay tuned for that.
00:18:37.640
I mean, Hilary Duff's an old hag, but Brad Pitt is still smoking one of the sexiest men
1.00
00:18:43.460
So, men are allowed to parade around with a bunch of gray hair.
00:18:48.220
And they're still considered the hottest people on the planet, but if you're a woman, oh,
1.00
00:18:53.140
No, we need to always constantly look for the next hot, new, young thing.
00:18:58.320
It's disgusting, and I hate it, and it's annoying.
00:19:00.560
It is, and I really appreciate that Hilary Duff is someone who's kind of also not fitting
00:19:06.620
the norm of what women are supposed to look like in Hollywood in terms of her figure,
0.99
00:19:16.840
They need to be able to keep up with their kids.
00:19:21.100
They can't just be these, like, weak little things that don't.
00:19:25.200
I'm sure she does have help for that, but even so.
00:19:28.420
You know, I just appreciate that she's setting a good example, especially because growing
00:19:43.540
Like, not everyone is going to have, again, a tiny, tiny, skinny frame and be like.
00:19:58.420
Oh, also, too, just on that, though, she's 35, whatever.
00:20:08.200
She, these women like her and Khloe Kardashian and Jennifer Lawrence and all these women
00:20:12.960
who were like, they look great for their age, they also have so much help.
00:20:24.660
It's very easy for these women to look like that at 35.
1.00
00:20:32.380
Because they're like, wow, she looks so good at 35.
0.83
00:20:37.960
So I'll check back when I'm 35 and I look like I'm 55 from the stress of living under Justin
00:20:52.440
Um, well, there's that article about lip filler.
00:21:10.140
So I thought we could just talk about what we think about this instead.
00:21:12.920
Because first of all, I don't really care if a man thinks a lip filler is attractive.
00:21:19.620
Like, I think that there, I understand wanting to look attractive for the opposite sex.
0.98
00:21:23.560
I mean, I'm married now, so I totally want to look attractive for my husband.
00:21:27.420
But if that's something that makes me content with myself, whatever.
00:21:30.820
I should be allowed to do it, and I shouldn't do it for a man.
1.00
00:21:36.160
But the thing is, is a lot of the things that we do are to look attractive.
00:21:40.600
And maybe it's not just for men, but it's also for other women.
00:21:44.040
I dress in a way that only appeals to women.
0.99
00:21:47.080
I dress so that I'm an optical illusion, and you can't tell how fat I am.
00:21:54.620
But I think the funniest part about all this, like, lip filler, how do men feel about it,
00:22:09.060
It was either her account or Evie's account on Twitter.
00:22:11.100
They posted this and asked, do men find lip filler attractive?
00:22:14.560
And, like, almost all the comments were like, no, natural is better, natural is better.
00:22:19.800
But I'm like, you guys wouldn't be able to pick out a good lip.
00:22:28.820
She probably doesn't want to look botched either.
00:22:30.560
Some girls have, again, body dysmorphia, or they want to look like sex dolls or whatever.
1.00
00:22:48.640
Like, Sebastian doesn't even notice when I get my hair done.
00:23:06.220
So all these guys could be dating women with lip filler and Botox and be like, oh, she's
00:23:20.100
It's just annoying because sometimes Evie writes annoying articles.
1.00
00:23:28.680
But we should be more concerned about why women are so insecure.
1.00
00:23:35.000
Maybe talk about why it's not okay to have regular size lips.
00:23:48.840
Not everyone has thick, bushy eyebrows and big lips and a tiny nose.
00:23:51.920
I think we should just stop making things trendy when it comes to physical appearances.
00:24:07.840
I mean, I like that one because I have oily skin.
00:24:14.320
But when it's like, oh, big butts, little noses.
0.80
00:24:16.980
It's like you can't change that unless you have a ton of money.
00:24:19.840
And you shouldn't be doing that because it's bad for you.
00:24:22.100
And you'll see that in the episode that we talk about all of that.
00:24:24.280
We have a lot of exciting episodes coming up, y'all.
00:24:45.280
Anyway, so she didn't always feel like a woman.
00:24:47.100
And she recalls the abuse that made her uncomfortable being a girl.
00:24:50.460
So in a recent interview with the Times promoting her new Netflix documentary, Shania Twain, Not Just a Girl,
00:24:56.760
opened up about how growing up she was terrified to be a girl and that she had, has had to fight, has had the fight of her life to even be a woman at all.
00:25:06.320
So she was abused sexually by her stepfather growing up.
00:25:15.400
And I guess her parents died in a car crash and then she had to take care of her family.
00:25:22.260
And one of the things I found most disturbing from that interview was they said when she was eight, her mother would take her to sing on stage in bars,
00:25:29.340
which she couldn't legally do until they stopped serving alcohol at midnight.
00:25:35.380
And then she'd have to go to school the next day.
00:25:37.400
And she was singing in smoky bars with gross men.
1.00
00:25:46.100
And then when she was 14, she started working at McDonald's.
00:25:49.120
So that she, because she wasn't paid for any of that singing that she got.
0.95
00:25:54.260
But her mother doesn't sound like a frigging peach.
1.00
00:25:57.040
For putting her eight-year-old daughter in a smoky bar.
00:26:00.360
Like waking her up in the middle of the night to go sing.
00:26:03.320
I can't believe she even wanted to pursue music after that.
00:26:07.920
Anyways, when she was 14, she started working at McDonald's.
00:26:11.660
And she said she was happy to have a, she could eat a double quarter pounder regularly.
00:26:15.980
Because she, their family was so poor, they didn't have a lot of food.
0.70
00:26:20.080
And then she goes home and gets sexually and physically abused by her stepdad.
00:26:23.800
And then she ended up even going so, as far as to binding her chest.
00:26:28.020
Because she didn't, she was super uncomfortable with her breasts.
1.00
00:26:32.160
It sounds like a lot of women, young teenage girls who are going through puberty,
0.97
00:26:37.400
And interestingly enough, a lot of people who have detransitioned, so they transitioned
00:26:41.980
to be a boy and then detransitioned back to being a girl, have talked about how they were
00:26:48.600
uncomfortable with their changing bodies, with their developing bodies when they were kids.
00:26:52.380
And that's part of the reason, because they didn't, that's part of the reason why they
00:26:55.520
transitioned, because they were sick of being sexualized or stared at or, you know, just
00:26:59.180
assaulted by men with their eyes or even physically.
00:27:03.100
I had the tiniest boobs, but I remember once I had a shirt that was tight and I wore it
00:27:08.540
to school and, like, the boys who were my age, and it wasn't pedoey, but everyone's like,
00:27:18.080
And it wasn't even, like, none of it was sexual.
00:27:22.700
And it was, like, even that for me, being, like, a nerdy, gross little kid, like, a lanky
00:27:29.660
No, it was super uncomfortable when even my friends, like, were talking, like, you got
00:27:37.020
So, but it's just why this story is so powerful is not only that she was able to overcome,
00:27:42.020
you know, the abuse and the sexual abuse and become such a strong figure in Canada and
00:27:50.880
But this just speaks to how, like, kids change their minds.
00:27:57.020
They can grow out of it with proper help or whatever it is.
00:28:00.280
I guess she was, like, this is a miracle situation.
00:28:04.680
No, but how lucky is she that she was able to come out unscathed by the evils of gender
1.00
00:28:20.480
It's like, yeah, I guess you feel like a man, honey, but you'll never really be one.
00:28:23.600
And I think maybe a critic of ours would argue that, oh, well, it's just because the, like,
00:28:38.640
I don't think she's standing here now as a gorgeous woman living with her husband in
1.00
00:28:46.220
I should have transitioned all those years ago.
0.99
00:28:50.880
I think she's probably happy because she's gorgeous.
00:28:55.400
Like, she's one of the greatest country singers of all time.
00:28:58.320
And apparently she's one of the most successful musicians of all time.
00:29:07.220
And it's so lovely for a woman to come out and say, hey, I love being a woman.
00:29:12.660
I'm so, like, embracing femininity is so important.
00:29:16.100
And I love that she's using her platform to talk about that, too.
00:29:22.940
Thankfully, in her 20s, according to the Times, she found her confidence, adding that
00:29:26.940
she hopes young girls can learn how to exude confidence.
00:29:30.300
I think she's such a good role model for young girls.
00:29:35.700
There's a clear attack on little girls in our society.
1.00
00:29:38.420
And it's great that someone with a platform like hers is speaking out about how she loves
00:29:45.180
You know, when you said that there's an attack on little girls, it's like, you know how,
00:29:51.840
It's like, you people are picking on little girls.
00:29:54.360
Like, how weak are people that that's who you're so right?
00:30:00.880
Anyways, there's also another quote here about how fashion helped her find her confidence.
00:30:08.720
She said, I, on the topic of fashion, she said, I could speak and tell a story about
00:30:13.200
myself by the way I moved, my body, the drape of the fabrics, the colors, where the focus
00:30:16.980
And I love that about fashion, the fun of it, the expression.
00:30:19.460
I was never an exhibitionist for the sake of it.
00:30:24.120
It really, it was really me coming into myself.
00:30:32.200
And the pictures in that article from wherever were so gorgeous.
00:30:37.940
She looks, just the clothes and her style and her confidence.
00:30:44.640
So you can grow up and be comfortable in the skin you were born in.
00:30:48.900
But they don't want you to know that, especially with people at American Girl.
00:30:53.520
Why would, why would American Girl be pro girl?
1.00
00:30:58.020
So yeah, you guys, American Girl is accused of gaslighting children with a book about gender
00:31:05.480
And to your point, how can you call yourself American Girl and then want your customers
00:31:11.540
They're not going to buy your dolls anymore.
0.99
00:31:16.060
So some of the points, there's another article from the Daily Mail that talks about this.
00:31:24.480
So it says, it's called A Smart Girl's Guide to Body Image.
00:31:27.600
And it gives advice to girls as young as three on how to change their gender by asking doctors
00:31:40.400
What if it's just, I'm just literally talking about it.
00:31:44.200
It's just, we're brushing our hair for those of you listening to the podcast.
00:31:53.020
So remember when they used to say gender is a construct?
00:31:56.700
So why the heck would you need puberty blockers to change a construct?
00:32:01.740
And they used to say sex and gender are different, but now you call it male to female and female
00:32:17.300
Well, Kat, you're non-binary, so you're going to have to explain that to our audience.
00:32:28.420
Um, another thing to add to that is we're told constantly when we grow up to love ourselves.
00:32:34.820
We're perfect as we are, yet I'm supposed to change genders to love myself?
00:32:41.140
It's like, um, oh yeah, so the passage in the book advises if you haven't gone through
00:32:46.200
puberty yet, the doctor might offer medicine to delay your body changes.
00:32:53.240
But hey, I was listening to, uh, Ali Bestucki and she raised this really interesting point.
00:32:58.840
What kind of people in our society want certain individuals to stay mentally and physically
00:33:05.560
Because puberty blockers stop you from developing.
00:33:11.360
So not only are we, if a child decides to go on these puberty blockers, they are not
00:33:18.420
only going to be medical customers for life, but they're also feeding a certain fetish.
00:33:32.160
But the fact that American Girl, which used to be a company that was about promote, it
00:33:37.740
It taught girls to love their bodies and it was educational and it was dolls.
0.57
00:33:42.600
Yeah, but they have little books and stuff as well.
00:33:46.980
The fact that they are now doing a 180 and trying to teach little girls that they can become
0.57
00:33:56.840
Do you just want to, do you just want to serve the pedo community?
00:34:00.820
Write to us, American Girl, if you're not pedos.
0.86
00:34:09.400
And the person who wrote this is like a 20-year-old with a septum piercing and pronouns in their
00:34:14.900
And it's like, are you just so miserable, chick?
0.99
00:34:17.820
I don't know the name of the author, but are you just so miserable that you want to ruin
00:34:28.120
And if you own an American Girl doll, throw it in the frickin' fire.
1.00
00:34:37.820
Apparently the book is 96 pages and I was like, well, thank God, because no one's going to
00:34:44.080
So at least, I mean, maybe I'm just talking from personal experience.
00:34:48.820
At that age, there's no friggin' way I would read a 96-page book.
00:35:00.460
Well, and it also provides a list of resources for organizations children can turn to if you
00:35:08.760
What is that again when you isolate children from their parents?
00:35:19.660
And I'm pretty sure we have an episode that kind of goes through that, so you guys should
00:35:31.380
We went through a Twitter thread that talked about grooming.
00:35:37.060
Also, on that exact same note about the list of resources for if you don't have an adult
00:35:53.060
You don't need a license to have sex and have a child.
0.60
00:36:05.440
But I think even the bad ones should at least be involved in the conversation.
00:36:13.180
So the fact that they're grooming these children and saying like, oh, you can talk to randos
00:36:17.180
on the internet or in this center who are probably gender non-conforming themselves and have
00:36:26.000
Like, maybe involve the parents in that conversation.
00:36:31.040
And we've talked about this before on the show.
00:36:33.580
Like, parents are going to be there to pick up the pieces of their kid after they go through
00:36:37.920
the surgeries, after they go through the hormone replacement therapy, after they decide
00:36:41.680
to detransition because, hey, maybe there's an underlying mental health condition that your
00:36:46.760
kid has and they're not actually transgender at all.
00:36:49.800
They just, I don't know, have been abused or something else is going on up there that no
00:36:56.660
Or it's not even, I mean, yeah, in Shania Twain's situation, she was abused, but maybe
00:37:08.940
And I wore cargo pants and loose shirts and played hockey and had really short hair.
00:37:16.520
And if someone whispered in my ear and told me like, oh, your parents aren't supporting
00:37:22.960
Like, I could have been manipulated into transitioning.
00:37:35.080
And I'm so glad that I was allowed to be a woman and play sports and have short hair
00:37:46.660
It's, I've said this before, it's so homophobic to say like, oh, you like sports, you don't
00:38:04.520
You can be whatever kind of woman you want to be.
00:38:15.300
Speaking of dynamic creatures, trans activist Dylan Mulvaney defends Tampax, says it's pure
00:38:24.400
So for those of you who don't know Dylan Mulvaney, I mean, you know who Dylan Mulvaney is.
00:38:29.500
This person has spoken with Joe Biden at the White House about girlhood.
00:38:32.460
They have their series of TikToks where they have their diary being a girl.
00:38:39.860
So this person doesn't even identify as a woman.
00:38:49.040
So we have a clip from this person and we're just going to play it.
00:38:54.160
Day 271 of being a girl or I'll say woman for this one because this video is for the women
0.99
00:39:05.260
We got a lot to cover, but let's first talk tampons.
00:39:08.040
I haven't talked about tampons on here lately because I don't use them.
00:39:14.600
And science was my strongest subject in high school.
00:39:17.340
I was also shockingly good at math, but I digress.
00:39:20.060
I just sometimes carry one in case anybody needs it.
00:39:24.220
And that seems to have just set the world on fire in some pretty nasty ways.
00:39:29.520
And this is a conversation that's been going on for months.
00:39:31.700
I just haven't chimed in because I'm so tired of sticking up for myself over something that
00:39:36.800
was so pure intentioned, but now Twitter is just a blaze.
00:39:41.220
And this week, there's some women that are now coming for Tampax and I wanted to clear
1.00
00:39:53.820
The most that happened was they sent me a few boxes of tampons back in April, just in
00:39:58.840
case I bumped into anyone, um, including yourselves and I gave them all the way.
00:40:03.980
I've got a few left and this one's really going to blow your mind.
00:40:08.080
I have never made $1 off of them in hygiene products.
00:40:12.400
So I hope that helps you sleep better at night knowing that and no need to bring Tampax into
00:40:24.800
No, I have no issue with this person buying tampons and handing them out to girls.
00:40:28.840
Although if, if this person was in the same bathroom as me and they were like, girl,
00:40:40.520
Now all of a sudden I feel like I'm wearing no makeup.
00:40:49.440
Um, no, like honestly, I did think that Tampax was paying Dylan and I do believe like, I
00:40:57.520
mean, it's kind of weird that he's like, well, don't come for Tampax.
00:41:02.980
But if I'm going to take this person at face value and assume that they're not getting
00:41:10.520
But Tampax has also been kind of cringed this past year.
00:41:22.540
The tweet read referencing the tampons are inside women and are closer to those individuals
00:41:26.920
than the men trying to hit on them, which is kind of gross because young girls do wear
1.00
00:41:36.920
Um, but my favorite part about this Dylan Mulvaney tech talk was when this person discussed
00:41:43.040
how science was their favorite subject and their best subject in school.
00:41:47.340
You know that you can never fully become a woman if you're so good at science because
1.00
00:41:50.960
sorry, honey, but the science is pretty solid there.
00:41:54.600
Unless something just completely changes in the next year, you're going to be a man forever.
0.78
00:42:11.100
I am non-binary, so I can't be accused of transphobia.
00:42:15.020
Because you don't even know who you're accusing.
00:42:19.740
So doesn't that make me like extremely open-minded?
00:42:24.340
Well, this show's taking a lot of oppression points here.
00:42:32.660
I'm a misunderstood, amorphous, non-binary blob.
00:42:51.180
And it's annoying when people in the spotlight like Khloe Kardashian and Dylan Mulvaney are
00:42:56.040
It's like because you literally patronize us all.
00:42:59.440
And you're minimizing womanhood to tampons.
1.00
00:43:07.980
And I love how you're like, oh, it's day this of girlhood or womanhood.
00:43:11.520
It's like you haven't lived a day as a woman because you've never had a period.
0.76
00:43:17.340
You didn't go through that awkward phase where your boobs started to grow and everyone started
00:43:20.400
looking at you like you had your own troubles as a young boy.
00:43:25.020
And arguably those affected you in a very profound way that you now parade yourself as
00:43:32.220
And honestly, Dylan, I have no problem with you wanting to dress like a girl or a woman and talk
0.92
00:43:37.960
like a freak and ask people to call you a girl.
0.69
00:43:42.800
But you, you're not going to, you'll never be a woman.
1.00
00:43:57.400
Who do you think the most annoying woman was this week?
1.00
00:44:04.520
I think American Girl is the most annoying.
1.00
00:44:08.060
Well, that's not a woman, but the most annoying.
1.00
00:44:09.200
Well, the author who wrote the book is a woman.
1.00
00:44:15.040
But, I mean, Khloe Kardashian just is the worst.
00:44:19.760
Dylan's super annoying, but Dylan's not a woman, so I guess he doesn't count.
1.00
