Full transcript

1. 0:02I was giving a an interview, a public
2. 0:05interview recently in front of I know a
3. 0:07few hundred people. And I was making
4. 0:08this point, this very point about STEM,
5. 0:10about how it's great that we've expanded
6. 0:12now girls access to STEM education for
7. 0:14the girls who want to become scientists,
8. 0:15and that's awesome. However, there are a
9. 0:17lot of girls who don't want to do that.
10. 0:18And then these two sort of uber feminist
11. 0:21young people, these women started to boo
12. 0:22me, and I turn around, I'm like, "Be
13. 0:25quiet. What do you Who are you booing?
14. 0:27What do you think you're doing?
15. 0:29What is controversial about what I just
16. 0:30said that not all women want to go into
17. 0:33STEM? It's a fact. Deal with it. And by
18. 0:36the way, you're all of about like 14, so
19. 0:38go and live a little bit before you come
20. 0:39back and boo somebody like me who's
21. 0:40actually been out there. Right? So, I
22. 0:42didn't say that last part, but I thought
23. 0:43it. But my point is, it's not
24. 0:45controversial to say that a lot of women
25. 0:47don't want to go into STEM. I hell no. I
26. 0:49went to curriculum last night for my
27. 0:50son, my seventh grader, and we went in a
28. 0:52math class, and truly I was like, "Is
29. 0:54anyone else hot? It's hot."
30. 0:56I like I was breaking out in hives just
31. 0:58looking at the he's doing.
32. 1:00I don't want to do math, and I don't
33. 1:02want to do science, and that's me.
34. 1:03That's fine. I would have been freaked
35. 1:05out if I had a school that kept shoving
36. 1:07me into STEM.
37. 1:09Yeah, I again, this idea that that if
38. 1:11there is a disparity, that therefore
39. 1:12there has been discrimination. That if
40. 1:14women choose to take more time off from
41. 1:16the workforce to take care of kids than
42. 1:17men do on average, which is true, or
43. 1:19that women tend to do different majors
44. 1:20than men, which is true, or that women
45. 1:22prefer certain types of jobs to others.
46. 1:24Like, you don't see a lot of women who
47. 1:25are who are dreaming at age 12 of
48. 1:27working on an oil Derrick. This tends to
49. 1:28be something that that dudes tend to
50. 1:31want to do. Like, picking up heavy
51. 1:32machinery and using it. Like, that that
52. 1:33tends to be sort of a male
53. 1:34characteristic. And it's true, by the
54. 1:35way, in primates. Right? If you if you
55. 1:37if you look at primate studies, what you
56. 1:39will see is that from very like baby
57. 1:41ages, young primate males will turn
58. 1:44everything into a weapon or a machine,
59. 1:46and young primate females will turn
60. 1:48everything into a baby as a generality.
61. 1:50That Again, what is I'm just wondering,
62. 1:52what's wrong with that? Like, seriously,
63. 1:54what's the problem? Why is it suddenly a
64. 1:56an act of good to obliterate this and
65. 1:58pretend that this is just some sort of
66. 1:59cultural overhang that is promoted by
67. 2:02patriarchal men, as opposed to maybe men
68. 2:04and women are different, and maybe
69. 2:05that's one of the great beauties of
70. 2:06life. And pretending that everybody's an
71. 2:08interchangeable androgynous widget makes
72. 2:10life significantly worse for men and
73. 2:12women. I'm I keep saying it over and
74. 2:13over, and I'll keep saying it. There is
75. 2:15no data suggesting that women today are
76. 2:17happier on average than women were in
77. 2:191975 or 1965. The average, in fact,
78. 2:22suggests precisely the reverse, that
79. 2:23women tend to be a little bit unhappier
80. 2:25than they were. Well, is that because
81. 2:26the workplace is significantly more
82. 2:28discriminatory? Or is that because we
83. 2:29may have given away a few things in the
84. 2:31process of gaining a few things, and
85. 2:32maybe there's a happy medium where women
86. 2:34are allowed to work whatever jobs they
87. 2:35want to work, and also there are still
88. 2:37traditional males who want to marry them
89. 2:38and have babies with them, and still see
90. 2:40themselves in a protective role
91. 2:41vis-a-vis their families.
92. 2:43If you're like me, you're growing more
93. 2:44and more concerned about the future. The
94. 2:46market is all over the place. Inflation
95. 2:49is at its highest level in 40 years.
96. 2:51Interest rates are skyrocketing, and
97. 2:53they're not done yet. Market experts not
98. 2:56only use terms like recession right now,
99. 2:58but economic hurricane and
100. 3:00unprecedented.
