2. 0:16when when I talk to other feminists
3. 0:18about the men's Rights Movement they
4. 0:20always say well you have to admit though
5. 0:23that women have been more discriminated
6. 0:25against no no no no see that doesn't
7. 0:28even make any logical sense women have
8. 0:30been more discriminated against well
9. 0:33when you are discriminating against
10. 0:34someone as compared to somebody
11. 0:37else
12. 0:39okay you cannot have sexism against
13. 0:42women without having sexism against men
14. 0:46right you can't right whether it's
15. 0:48positive or negative sexism right is
16. 0:51going to differ right um it's not the
17. 0:54same as say black and white right where
18. 0:56you can have all kinds of negative
19. 0:58negative discrimination against black
20. 1:00people had positive
21. 1:01discrimination in favor of white people
22. 1:03or Germans and Jews or what Aryans and
23. 1:06Jews or whoever right like tribal groups
24. 1:08when it comes to men and women who have
25. 1:10always lived their lives together there
26. 1:11has never been there was never some
27. 1:13Society of only women and then men came
28. 1:15along along and colonized them and
29. 1:17enslaved them all and and it was like
30. 1:19two tribes of people no we've always
31. 1:20been one tribe there's no tribalism
32. 1:23between women in that way and so sexism
33. 1:28Works uh in such a way that sometimes
34. 1:32the exact same perception of women that
35. 1:35hinders them so you have Anna
36. 1:38casparian um saying that it it it is
37. 1:41difficult sometimes because people don't
38. 1:43always take her seriously because she's
39. 1:45fairly long young and she's
40. 1:47pretty and one of the things that she
41. 1:50does because what is necessary for women
42. 1:52to be sexually attractive to men is to
43. 1:55enhance their youth right when you look
44. 1:58as young as you can to be as sexually
45. 2:01attractive to men as you can and
46. 2:03demonstrate your sexual attractiveness
47. 2:05to other
48. 2:06women okay so you can compete in that
49. 2:09hierarchy because there is
50. 2:11one you are also emphasizing the fact
51. 2:15that you are not wise and you have no
52. 2:17experience because you're
53. 2:20young right and young people don't have
54. 2:23that right but this is the price wom pay
55. 2:25in order to be considered sexually
56. 2:27attractive right and that's important to
57. 2:29them it should be important
58. 2:32because sex is a huge part of of life
59. 2:36right now so she will be taken less
60. 2:40seriously in uh in that
61. 2:43context but when it comes to the context
62. 2:47of if she's harming someone or if she's
63. 2:51angry she's frustrated and she hits her
64. 2:54child right people are not going to take
65. 2:56her seriously the way they would take a
66. 2:58man seriously in those contexts
67. 3:00right uh people will try to make excuses
68. 3:03for her they'll try to say well you know
69. 3:06she's really stressed out and there was
70. 3:08not really any harm done you know I mean
71. 3:10it wasn't really that bad and and
72. 3:13they've done studies that have shown
73. 3:15that people witnessing the exact same
74. 3:18actions right if it's a man or a woman
75. 3:23they will always always judge the
76. 3:25woman's actions as less severe less
77. 3:27threatening less intimidating less
78. 3:29violent
79. 3:30than if it's a man doing the exact same
80. 3:32thing right because they do not take her
81. 3:35seriously in that way and that has a
82. 3:36whole bunch of benefits right less jail
83. 3:40time less likel of being arrested you
84. 3:42know less lik likelihood of being beaten
85. 3:45up because you were in a mood to start
86. 3:48something right and you were you know
87. 3:51jabbing your finger in somebody's chest
88. 3:54right if you're a man and you do that to
89. 3:56another man he takes you seriously and
90. 3:58he knocks your clock
91. 4:00knocks your block off right if you're a
92. 4:03woman you can get away with doing that
93. 4:04because you don't you aren't taken
94. 4:05seriously that way and and so it
95. 4:07protects women from a lot of harm right
96. 4:11and when you look at men see the way
97. 4:13around right men are taken Ser more
98. 4:17seriously when they speak
99. 4:18authoritatively when they're a news
100. 4:20anchor when they're selling High ticket
101. 4:22items like cars when they're doing the
102. 4:23narration commercials right it's either
103. 4:26a man or it's a woman with a deeper
104. 4:28voice deep voice has definite
105. 4:31psychological effects on
106. 4:33people and uh so you have you have these
107. 4:37different ways that men and women are
108. 4:38viewed that can play out as positives or
109. 4:41negatives depending on the context right
110. 4:44so you can't even say there's positive
111. 4:46discrimination and negative
112. 4:47discrimination right what you're doing
113. 4:50what you have to do is you have to say
114. 4:51if there is X sexism against women then
115. 4:55there is by
116. 4:57definition X sexism against men
117. 5:00like there's an equal amount of sexism
118. 5:02against men there's an equal amount of
119. 5:05discrimination whether it plays up
120. 5:07positively or negatively look at look at
121. 5:09how we think men are capable and
122. 5:11self-sufficient we think they're so
123. 5:13capable and self-sufficient that we can
124. 5:14discriminate against them under the law
125. 5:17with affirmative action for wom right we
126. 5:21we assume those assumptions that
127. 5:23feminists tell us for privilege male
128. 5:25privilege we assume that men are so
129. 5:28awesome
130. 5:30that they're AR going to hurt if they
131. 5:31don't get the job right they're not
132. 5:33going to suffer if they don't get that
133. 5:36job right and so it's okay to
134. 5:38discriminate against them by
135. 5:41law and discriminate in favor of women
136. 5:44because in as feminists would describe
137. 5:47it we see women as so incapable which is
138. 5:50negative except we're willing to give
139. 5:52them
140. 5:54benefits because we see them that
141. 5:57way okay and I'm just playing devil's
142. 5:59advocate here because I know you're good
143. 6:01at
144. 6:03countering uh
145. 6:06but what I'm gathering is that even if
146. 6:08we look at uh one area that could be
147. 6:11discrimination or or just a way that our
148. 6:14gender is feeling um unhappy with their
149. 6:16role or say youth for women it's like oh
150. 6:20darn when you're only being looked at
151. 6:21for your body but when it's to your
152. 6:24benefit then you don't complain um so I
153. 6:29in that but when we look at rights I
154. 6:33mean there are many country not many but
155. 6:35there are some countries that deny girls
156. 6:39the ability to get an education most of
157. 6:42those countries also have issues with
158. 6:44boys getting an
159. 6:45education um I I actually saw a poster
160. 6:50by a feminist that was put out by a
161. 6:51feminist group and it said X many
162. 6:54million children worldwide are denied in
163. 6:56education half of them are girls
164. 7:00I'm like yeah no duhh okay um look at
165. 7:04boam I mean you must have heard
