This one is for the lady. We see 21 00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:02,960 Speaker 1: a play out time and time again. A woman gets 22 00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:05,720 Speaker 1: a man who has red flags waving like the fourth 23 00:01:05,720 --> 00:01:11,199 Speaker 1: of July. He's got a checkered past, known history of cheating, abuse, toxicity, manipulation, 24 00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:12,120 Speaker 1: you name it. 25 00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:15,440 Speaker 2: And what does she do? She walks right into the fire. 26 00:01:15,240 --> 00:01:16,479 Speaker 3: Like she's flame resistant. 27 00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:19,679 Speaker 1: Then when it all goes left, and it always goes left, 28 00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:22,320 Speaker 1: everybody want to cry foul, call. 29 00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:25,640 Speaker 2: Her a victim, and act shot. Now, before y'all jump 30 00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:26,920 Speaker 2: down my throat, let me be clear. 31 00:01:27,319 --> 00:01:29,960 Speaker 1: Y'all know I'm an equal opportunist and I will hold 32 00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:35,120 Speaker 1: both parties accountable. Nobody deserves to be abused, manipulated, or 33 00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:35,640 Speaker 1: gas lit. 34 00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:36,280 Speaker 2: Period. 35 00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:41,039 Speaker 1: But here's my question, Okay, where do we as women 36 00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:43,400 Speaker 1: put responsibility on us? 37 00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:46,920 Speaker 2: Is it possible to hold space for a woman's pain? 38 00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:50,680 Speaker 1: But still ask sis, what made you think you could 39 00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:53,520 Speaker 1: change him? What made you ignore what he did to 40 00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:56,120 Speaker 1: the last three women? Because if we're being honest, you 41 00:01:56,160 --> 00:01:59,160 Speaker 1: saw it coming. You just thought you'd be the exception. 42 00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:03,000 Speaker 1: But also, as we constantly ask people to believe women, 43 00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:05,760 Speaker 1: why is it that many women choose to actually ignore 44 00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:10,200 Speaker 1: the warning signs from women? So now the relationship crashes, 45 00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:14,440 Speaker 1: burns publicly, and here comes the performative empathy. Poor her, 46 00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:17,840 Speaker 1: he's a monster, and maybe he is, But where's the 47 00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:20,960 Speaker 1: accountability for walking in with your eyes wide shut. 48 00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:23,640 Speaker 3: I'm legally blind. I could see barely. 49 00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:27,600 Speaker 2: And let's take it even further, because that's what I do. 50 00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:29,760 Speaker 2: I can go through with that promise. Should we even care? 51 00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:34,000 Speaker 1: Is it our business to sympathize, dissect, judge, or defend 52 00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:37,560 Speaker 1: or we just addicted to the trauma of women, especially 53 00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:39,720 Speaker 1: black women, being publicly torn down. 54 00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:41,040 Speaker 2: This ain't about blame. 55 00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:44,640 Speaker 1: It's about truth, and the truth is ignoring red flags 56 00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:47,359 Speaker 1: doesn't make you a bad person, but it doesn't make 57 00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:50,880 Speaker 1: you innocent either. So today we're gonna unpack all of 58 00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:55,200 Speaker 1: that where accountability meets sympathy and why some folks out 59 00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:58,000 Speaker 1: here care more about hating women than they do about 60 00:02:58,040 --> 00:02:58,800 Speaker 1: stopping abuse. 61 00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:02,080 Speaker 2: Let's get into. 62 00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:04,360 Speaker 3: Well we get tequila before we start this. 63 00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:05,120 Speaker 2: Not tequila. 64 00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:08,000 Speaker 1: I ain't brought no tequila to do a episode like this. 65 00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:08,960 Speaker 3: We're not drinking. 66 00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:13,200 Speaker 2: You know what. I probably should have bought a little 67 00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:13,959 Speaker 2: bottle for this. 68 00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:15,760 Speaker 3: We should have.

I'm sure there's way 107 00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:11,960 Speaker 3: more that will end up fucking climbing into. But what 108 00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:14,400 Speaker 3: I really love about this episode is where we talk 109 00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:17,640 Speaker 3: about the social discourse and people's outside views. 110 00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:18,200 Speaker 2: On so many things. 111 00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:22,039 Speaker 1: We're gonna storytelling kind of hold ourselves about accountable, hold 112 00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:24,880 Speaker 1: each other accountable, not even hold each other accountable as 113 00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:28,080 Speaker 1: much as just question right. I think so many times 114 00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:33,400 Speaker 1: when we're on Twitter, or we watching movies, or we 115 00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:35,599 Speaker 1: see somebody in a situation. It could be a family member, 116 00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:38,040 Speaker 1: a friend, we could just be like, now, girl, if 117 00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:40,640 Speaker 1: I was in that situation, this is what I would 118 00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:42,240 Speaker 1: have did, and I think that that's where we lack 119 00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:46,040 Speaker 1: sometimes the empathy for what a person is really going 120 00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:50,600 Speaker 1: through in their decision making for finding love, because you know, 121 00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:54,080 Speaker 1: if we really are talking about it, there's still this 122 00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:58,320 Speaker 1: idea that the Disney fairy tale ending is a thing. 123 00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:01,240 Speaker 1: I think there is still I think for women, more 124 00:06:01,279 --> 00:06:05,479 Speaker 1: than anything, the urge to find a soulmate, a love, 125 00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:09,159 Speaker 1: a partner. I think that's more a human You think 126 00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:14,440 Speaker 1: men equally are out there searching for the one like 127 00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:15,200 Speaker 1: like women. 128 00:06:15,279 --> 00:06:18,600 Speaker 3: They wouldn't be paying for apps or for matchmakers or 129 00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:19,679 Speaker 3: going out on day. 130 00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:22,040 Speaker 2: First off, it's because they want pussy. I think I 131 00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:23,599 Speaker 2: think a man wants pussy more than love. 132 00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:25,839 Speaker 3: I think we're generalizing men. 133 00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:27,960 Speaker 2: I mean in general. 134 00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:32,160 Speaker 3: Yes, I don't want you know what I would say, majority. 135 00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:33,960 Speaker 2: I'm gonna say majority. 136 00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:36,520 Speaker 3: You go ahead, because you're ignorant sometimes like to be. 137 00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:40,719 Speaker 1: Okay, real quick, actually, because we do have our super 138 00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:42,920 Speaker 1: produces here, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, 139 00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:44,280 Speaker 1: only because we have men in the house. 140 00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:45,320 Speaker 3: And I'm generalizing. 141 00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:48,000 Speaker 1: I don't know if Jason said nobody but a king 142 00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:54,520 Speaker 1: would you find with even your friends, your peers, your ecosystem.

I think for me 160 00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:44,280 Speaker 4: it's different because I'm also married a most ten years now, 161 00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:48,760 Speaker 4: So you change along the way. No, well, trying to answer, 162 00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:51,760 Speaker 4: but I think I think at the beginning, you're I 163 00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:53,560 Speaker 4: think at the beginning, men don't pursue love. I think 164 00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:57,000 Speaker 4: at the beginning, men are pursuing fun things to make 165 00:07:57,040 --> 00:08:00,880 Speaker 4: them feel better, whether that's sex or whatever. And then 166 00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:04,400 Speaker 4: you start realizing things that you are in and you 167 00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:07,080 Speaker 4: don't know that that's what you were pursuing initially, and 168 00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:08,960 Speaker 4: then you your your feelings start changing and then you 169 00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:10,680 Speaker 4: kind of open your eyes and stuff.

And so for me, I've been battling, 214 00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:22,679 Speaker 1: essentially with the feeling that no one fulfills me. 215 00:10:22,679 --> 00:10:23,440 Speaker 2: Like my friends do. 216 00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:27,600 Speaker 1: And it sucks because I'm like damn is and I'm 217 00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:30,560 Speaker 1: not holding men to those expectations as well. But for 218 00:10:30,679 --> 00:10:33,800 Speaker 1: me and the men in my ecosystem that I speak 219 00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:36,880 Speaker 1: to and such, when I talk about the relationships or 220 00:10:36,880 --> 00:10:39,600 Speaker 1: what they want from women, it's not that they're looking 221 00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:41,479 Speaker 1: for the love like when I talk to my homegirls. 222 00:10:41,640 --> 00:10:44,440 Speaker 1: What they want from men is a whole lot deeper 223 00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:46,680 Speaker 1: than when I talk to men. It's just like I 224 00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:47,440 Speaker 1: want pussy. 225 00:10:47,559 --> 00:10:49,840 Speaker 3: We're two different creatures. I think what makes it very 226 00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:53,000 Speaker 3: dangerous here is saying or generalizing men just because there 227 00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:56,400 Speaker 3: are great men out there and they are really shitty 228 00:10:56,400 --> 00:10:57,760 Speaker 3: men out there, just like there are shitty women. 229 00:10:57,800 --> 00:10:59,440 Speaker 1: You know what's unfair about what you just said, though, 230 00:11:00,840 --> 00:11:03,760 Speaker 1: I didn't say that you were a bad man for 231 00:11:04,600 --> 00:11:06,760 Speaker 1: leading with wanting pussy, and I think that that's a. 232 00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:08,640 Speaker 3: Well, no, no, I'm not saying just the pussy. 233 00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:10,280 Speaker 2: But the generalizing isn't a bad thing. 234 00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:13,080 Speaker 1: Like if you go into I think men will fall 235 00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:16,679 Speaker 1: into pussy and then grow feelings. 236 00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:19,920 Speaker 3: Well, sex is a natural human urge, right, Yeah, So 237 00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:22,840 Speaker 3: just having that urge at first is like maybe what 238 00:11:22,840 --> 00:11:25,120 Speaker 3: you're looking for. But I don't want to discount the 239 00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:28,280 Speaker 3: fact that men also want love and women as well. 240 00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:30,719 Speaker 3: Do we look for love, yes, do we also have 241 00:11:31,040 --> 00:11:34,560 Speaker 3: physical urges, yes, some lean more towards the other one, 242 00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:36,920 Speaker 3: But I don't want to discount that they also don't 243 00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:39,920 Speaker 3: want to find love. Sometimes in our generation, it just 244 00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:42,320 Speaker 3: feels like that's what we see all the time the Instagram, 245 00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:45,600 Speaker 3: the models. There's ass, there's titties, there's born, there's all 246 00:11:45,640 --> 00:11:48,320 Speaker 3: these things going on. There's only fans now so available 247 00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:50,920 Speaker 3: to you. So what you're constantly thinking about it's sex 248 00:11:51,400 --> 00:11:55,040 Speaker 3: unless there are men out there that they're into something else, right, 249 00:11:55,080 --> 00:12:01,040 Speaker 3: and then that's not their primary a sexual ones the 250 00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:02,640 Speaker 3: way they don't want pussy at all. 251 00:12:04,480 --> 00:12:08,520 Speaker 1: But but that pursuit is that I guess. 252 00:12:08,559 --> 00:12:09,040 Speaker 2: I guess. 253 00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:11,839 Speaker 1: How I like to normally start off the episodes is 254 00:12:11,880 --> 00:12:14,520 Speaker 1: a response to the introduction of what the topic is 255 00:12:14,960 --> 00:12:17,600 Speaker 1: and your face. First off, your chuckle. They heard your 256 00:12:17,679 --> 00:12:21,880 Speaker 1: voice on the mic before I introduced you. But the 257 00:12:21,920 --> 00:12:24,679 Speaker 1: introduction kind of led to what my stance will be 258 00:12:25,679 --> 00:12:30,360 Speaker 1: in this conversation in asking if there is room to 259 00:12:31,160 --> 00:12:36,719 Speaker 1: have both to empathize while also understanding what responsibility does 260 00:12:36,760 --> 00:12:40,280 Speaker 1: a woman have in selecting her partner. And we'll both 261 00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:43,440 Speaker 1: share our dating histories and things like that, but what 262 00:12:43,559 --> 00:12:47,280 Speaker 1: was your immediate like thought of always. 263 00:12:47,080 --> 00:12:50,000 Speaker 3: Room for conversation, there's always room for understanding, there's always 264 00:12:50,120 --> 00:12:52,600 Speaker 3: room to grow and what you already believe in, what 265 00:12:52,640 --> 00:12:55,600 Speaker 3: your experiences have been, right, But should we hold each 266 00:12:55,600 --> 00:12:59,200 Speaker 3: other accountable? Yes, but I think there's there was a 267 00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:05,559 Speaker 3: little there also a nuance, not nuisance, I'm not from 268 00:13:05,559 --> 00:13:06,880 Speaker 3: this country, we're. 269 00:13:06,720 --> 00:13:07,480 Speaker 2: Voting from Florida. 270 00:13:07,559 --> 00:13:13,400 Speaker 3: Welcome to the Florida public education system. Nuance. There's also 271 00:13:13,440 --> 00:13:15,920 Speaker 3: I forgot I was gonna say, there's there's nuance to 272 00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:19,640 Speaker 3: holding a woman accountable for her sessions and also the 273 00:13:19,679 --> 00:13:22,679 Speaker 3: men that we date, knowing that sometimes you're not coming 274 00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:25,960 Speaker 3: in just like you said with the wearing red flags 275 00:13:25,960 --> 00:13:28,720 Speaker 3: and walking right into them. There is also a part 276 00:13:28,760 --> 00:13:30,840 Speaker 3: of that's not so black and white. Essentially, it's not 277 00:13:30,880 --> 00:13:34,160 Speaker 3: black and white like every situation. I like the gray 278 00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:37,400 Speaker 3: area because every situation is so different. Although sometimes you 279 00:13:37,440 --> 00:13:38,920 Speaker 3: hear it and you're like, oh my god, I get 280 00:13:38,920 --> 00:13:40,920 Speaker 3: triggered the words that people say. I'm like, you say 281 00:13:40,920 --> 00:13:42,880 Speaker 3: the same thing you move the same way, damn you're 282 00:13:42,920 --> 00:13:44,880 Speaker 3: dressed the same way, like you do the same things. 283 00:13:45,080 --> 00:13:48,040 Speaker 3: But at the same time, there's something about you and 284 00:13:48,120 --> 00:13:51,960 Speaker 3: that person that they were able to manipulate. Right, whether 285 00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:54,360 Speaker 3: it's coming from a man or a female, we're specifically 286 00:13:54,360 --> 00:13:57,040 Speaker 3: talking about men in this episode, and there's things that 287 00:13:57,200 --> 00:14:00,000 Speaker 3: these manipulators know how to manipulate, and there's something sometimes 288 00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:02,160 Speaker 3: is missing within us that we're yearning for that they're 289 00:14:02,160 --> 00:14:06,200 Speaker 3: able to pinpoint and attack us from that side. 290 00:14:06,280 --> 00:14:10,480 Speaker 1: So, to be fair, what you just express to me 291 00:14:10,640 --> 00:14:13,400 Speaker 1: leans into why I said what I said. Even if 292 00:14:13,440 --> 00:14:17,240 Speaker 1: a man may want love at first, the idea that 293 00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:19,960 Speaker 1: a lot of men, even in dating and the pursuit 294 00:14:20,040 --> 00:14:24,120 Speaker 1: to have sex, that manipulation that only takes place prior 295 00:14:24,200 --> 00:14:28,200 Speaker 1: to the relationship. A man will show up in ways 296 00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:30,200 Speaker 1: to get just the box. 297 00:14:30,600 --> 00:14:33,720 Speaker 3: Manipulating is different though you think I think men have. 298 00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:36,840 Speaker 2: Of course, a man showing up as his representative. 299 00:14:37,280 --> 00:14:39,400 Speaker 3: Everyone has a representative when they firs show up. You 300 00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:44,040 Speaker 3: don't think that manipulation. No, Okay, manipulation comes with time, 301 00:14:44,200 --> 00:14:47,320 Speaker 3: right when they start mirroring you. When they do that, 302 00:14:47,400 --> 00:14:49,200 Speaker 3: they see what you like and they go there and 303 00:14:49,320 --> 00:14:51,640 Speaker 3: start supporting what you like, and it's a it's a 304 00:14:51,720 --> 00:14:55,160 Speaker 3: very small, gradual thing that happens, just a man coming 305 00:14:55,200 --> 00:14:58,360 Speaker 3: in and buying you dinner and being nice, and then 306 00:14:58,400 --> 00:15:00,040 Speaker 3: you know, taking it to Disney World and then a 307 00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:01,880 Speaker 3: couple of days later and you know, trying to get 308 00:15:01,880 --> 00:15:04,680 Speaker 3: touchy and trying that's not necessarily manipulation. He's just courting 309 00:15:04,720 --> 00:15:06,440 Speaker 3: you and he's trying to get some pussy or whatever. 310 00:15:06,680 --> 00:15:10,520 Speaker 3: Manipulation is a very slow slowing thing that leads to abusing. 311 00:15:10,560 --> 00:15:12,200 Speaker 3: You don't realize you're in it until you're in it. 312 00:15:12,320 --> 00:15:13,800 Speaker 3: And I think that's part of what we're gonna see 313 00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:16,440 Speaker 3: here when we're talking about versus just a man trying 314 00:15:16,440 --> 00:15:18,600 Speaker 3: to get something and getting turned down eventually after a 315 00:15:18,640 --> 00:15:19,280 Speaker 3: couple of dates. 316 00:15:19,440 --> 00:15:20,160 Speaker 2: Okay, well, I. 317 00:15:20,120 --> 00:15:22,720 Speaker 1: Wanted to lean into the current events to have his 318 00:15:22,880 --> 00:15:28,400 Speaker 1: dissect this before witch, I jump on your ass. And so, 319 00:15:28,880 --> 00:15:31,960 Speaker 1: like the people that I mentioned earlier, I want to 320 00:15:32,040 --> 00:15:38,680 Speaker 1: start with let's start with the two sky Jackson and 321 00:15:38,800 --> 00:15:43,120 Speaker 1: her baby daddy. She recently just filed a restraining order 322 00:15:43,520 --> 00:15:47,880 Speaker 1: against her son's father. His name is DeAndre Virgin and 323 00:15:48,800 --> 00:15:55,760 Speaker 1: this is after she claims physical abuse. Twirky Turky or 324 00:15:55,800 --> 00:15:59,360 Speaker 1: tweaky tweaky. He has a nickname on the internet. Mind 325 00:15:59,400 --> 00:16:03,840 Speaker 1: you a little backstory. Sky Jackson Disney star found this 326 00:16:03,920 --> 00:16:06,480 Speaker 1: man while he was incarcerated. I did look it up, 327 00:16:06,520 --> 00:16:08,080 Speaker 1: and this is why it's important for you to do 328 00:16:08,120 --> 00:16:10,920 Speaker 1: your own research. There were a lot of tweets insinuating 329 00:16:11,200 --> 00:16:15,240 Speaker 1: that he was imprisoned for domestic violence or violence against 330 00:16:15,240 --> 00:16:17,640 Speaker 1: previous partners. That is not the case. It was a 331 00:16:17,680 --> 00:16:19,440 Speaker 1: gun possession and attempted robbery. 332 00:16:20,800 --> 00:16:23,520 Speaker 2: I need, We're not gonna do the hierarchy of crimes. 333 00:16:24,080 --> 00:16:27,360 Speaker 1: But basically, she found this man while he was in jail, 334 00:16:29,160 --> 00:16:32,160 Speaker 1: and they got into a relationship. A year later, had 335 00:16:32,200 --> 00:16:35,320 Speaker 1: a baby, and now she is requesting the restraining order. 336 00:16:35,920 --> 00:16:41,680 Speaker 1: In parallel to that, we have Halle Bailey and DDG. 337 00:16:42,440 --> 00:16:44,560 Speaker 1: Halle Bailey is a little mermaid and then DDG is 338 00:16:44,600 --> 00:16:47,880 Speaker 1: a streamer and rapper. And basically we see that she 339 00:16:48,080 --> 00:16:51,840 Speaker 1: was just granted her restraining order where DDG has to 340 00:16:51,840 --> 00:16:55,560 Speaker 1: say temporary restraining order where DDG has been ordered to 341 00:16:55,600 --> 00:17:00,120 Speaker 1: stay at least one hundred yards away from Halle Bailey, 342 00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:02,240 Speaker 1: and she is allowed to take the baby over to 343 00:17:02,880 --> 00:17:05,439 Speaker 1: Italy while she films her next movie. Now why I 344 00:17:05,480 --> 00:17:08,359 Speaker 1: want to draw the parallels between both of these relationships 345 00:17:08,960 --> 00:17:12,600 Speaker 1: is because if we're talking about the Red Flax, we 346 00:17:12,640 --> 00:17:15,720 Speaker 1: have Sky Jackson who chose to meet her partner who 347 00:17:15,800 --> 00:17:17,320 Speaker 1: was in jail when they met. 348 00:17:19,280 --> 00:17:20,000 Speaker 3: I can look it up. 349 00:17:20,040 --> 00:17:23,480 Speaker 1: Because baby, I'm gonna be screened man and doing everything 350 00:17:23,520 --> 00:17:25,760 Speaker 1: all at once, because we're gonna be ignorant, but we 351 00:17:25,880 --> 00:17:27,679 Speaker 1: go at least try to be a little bit on 352 00:17:27,800 --> 00:17:32,159 Speaker 1: par with the facts. She was born in two thousand 353 00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:35,879 Speaker 1: and two, so she is twenty three years old. She 354 00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:39,120 Speaker 1: is twenty three years old. In comparison, we know that 355 00:17:39,160 --> 00:17:42,359 Speaker 1: Hallie Bailey and DDG are also under the age of thirty. 356 00:17:42,680 --> 00:17:44,800 Speaker 1: Why I'm drawing this parallel is because you have Sky 357 00:17:44,920 --> 00:17:48,800 Speaker 1: Jackson who chose to be in a relationship with someone 358 00:17:48,800 --> 00:17:51,920 Speaker 1: who was in prison, and we'll talk about our views 359 00:17:51,920 --> 00:17:54,680 Speaker 1: on incarcerated men and forgiving them and all those things. 360 00:17:55,119 --> 00:17:58,040 Speaker 1: But on the other side, we have Halle Bailey who 361 00:17:58,080 --> 00:18:03,080 Speaker 1: started dating DDG post his very public relationship with rapper 362 00:18:03,160 --> 00:18:07,080 Speaker 1: Ruby Rose. Now Ruby Rose, she is a rapper, also 363 00:18:07,119 --> 00:18:09,120 Speaker 1: has the only fans, but she's a rapper, really good 364 00:18:09,160 --> 00:18:14,120 Speaker 1: raps too. So Ruby Rose, in her exit of the relationship, 365 00:18:14,960 --> 00:18:17,800 Speaker 1: pretty much let everybody know that she. 366 00:18:17,720 --> 00:18:20,280 Speaker 3: Was getting physically abused by DDG. 367 00:18:20,760 --> 00:18:23,000 Speaker 2: This was public. This was public. 368 00:18:23,160 --> 00:18:28,080 Speaker 1: She also claims that he manipulated her into creating the 369 00:18:28,119 --> 00:18:31,800 Speaker 1: Only Fans as if that was her way and means 370 00:18:31,800 --> 00:18:35,520 Speaker 1: of making money, possibly not being in support of her 371 00:18:35,800 --> 00:18:39,680 Speaker 1: rap career. So she came out and said these things, right, 372 00:18:39,880 --> 00:18:43,720 Speaker 1: she came out and said these things, and nonetheless Sky 373 00:18:43,800 --> 00:18:47,320 Speaker 1: ignored the red flag of the man in jail. Hallie 374 00:18:47,320 --> 00:18:49,879 Speaker 1: Bailey ignored the red flag of this other woman saying 375 00:18:49,920 --> 00:18:54,479 Speaker 1: that she was physically abused by DDG. I want to know, 376 00:18:55,720 --> 00:18:59,920 Speaker 1: and I'll share my lack of empathy here because I'm 377 00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:05,760 Speaker 1: selectively ignorant. In no way do I empathize with a 378 00:19:05,800 --> 00:19:11,600 Speaker 1: woman who seeks an imprisoned man for a love connection, 379 00:19:12,240 --> 00:19:15,720 Speaker 1: because I do believe you have to lean into why 380 00:19:15,760 --> 00:19:18,840 Speaker 1: you're doing that, and it's because you're controlling, You're insecure, 381 00:19:19,160 --> 00:19:22,840 Speaker 1: You're you want this to be where you can control it. 382 00:19:23,119 --> 00:19:25,480 Speaker 1: So kind of not empathizing there, I know, y'all, go 383 00:19:25,640 --> 00:19:26,480 Speaker 1: y'all out. 384 00:19:27,520 --> 00:19:27,840 Speaker 3: I know. 385 00:19:28,280 --> 00:19:31,080 Speaker 1: And then in terms of Halle Bailey, which we'll get 386 00:19:31,080 --> 00:19:36,720 Speaker 1: into later too, if I'm online or if I'm dating 387 00:19:37,320 --> 00:19:41,600 Speaker 1: and there is any any and we've seen it on 388 00:19:41,720 --> 00:19:44,560 Speaker 1: Twitter for the for for years where people have been 389 00:19:44,600 --> 00:19:51,240 Speaker 1: outed as abusers, sexual abusers, physical abusers. I'm not dating 390 00:19:51,280 --> 00:19:55,200 Speaker 1: someone with those accusations, at least without hearing the other 391 00:19:55,240 --> 00:19:57,679 Speaker 1: person's side of the story and the fact that it 392 00:19:57,800 --> 00:20:00,800 Speaker 1: was kind of just dismissed. Mind you, how Bailey also 393 00:20:00,880 --> 00:20:03,720 Speaker 1: dismissed Ruby when she came out in the middle of 394 00:20:03,760 --> 00:20:06,880 Speaker 1: their relationship to say, your nigga's still in my DMS. 395 00:20:07,560 --> 00:20:10,200 Speaker 1: Hallie decided to say, hey, I'm not going to listen 396 00:20:10,240 --> 00:20:12,280 Speaker 1: to any information from a third party. 397 00:20:12,440 --> 00:20:13,680 Speaker 3: So I think I remember that. 398 00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:17,080 Speaker 1: So she was told that he's a cheater, was told 399 00:20:17,080 --> 00:20:20,240 Speaker 1: that he's a physical abuser, and she chose to still 400 00:20:20,400 --> 00:20:25,239 Speaker 1: get into that relationship and continued to say, I have 401 00:20:25,280 --> 00:20:29,159 Speaker 1: a lack of empathy for the decisions here, but I 402 00:20:29,200 --> 00:20:32,400 Speaker 1: want to know you, maybe from the other side, how 403 00:20:32,560 --> 00:20:37,040 Speaker 1: you can sympathize with the women who choose to get 404 00:20:37,040 --> 00:20:42,440 Speaker 1: into these relationships with I would say, not so law 405 00:20:42,440 --> 00:20:43,480 Speaker 1: abiding citizens. 406 00:20:44,080 --> 00:20:46,159 Speaker 3: To give some perspective on my opinion. I have a 407 00:20:46,200 --> 00:20:50,280 Speaker 3: twenty year old daughter, Okay, I've also been twenty You're 408 00:20:50,280 --> 00:20:53,919 Speaker 3: saying you don't empathize with these women. These are young women, 409 00:20:54,160 --> 00:20:56,880 Speaker 3: Okay that when all this started we're probably twenty one 410 00:20:56,960 --> 00:21:00,800 Speaker 3: years old, okay. So when you say here, I would 411 00:21:00,840 --> 00:21:03,800 Speaker 3: not be with a man in prison, you're thirty four, 412 00:21:04,440 --> 00:21:07,720 Speaker 3: I'm thirty eight, So you might and let's go. You 413 00:21:07,840 --> 00:21:11,480 Speaker 3: might not have went for a man in prison, but 414 00:21:11,600 --> 00:21:14,119 Speaker 3: I will say the both of us have gone for 415 00:21:14,200 --> 00:21:17,560 Speaker 3: some questionable people when we were twenty one, okay. So 416 00:21:17,720 --> 00:21:21,640 Speaker 3: I believe that life is an experiences. Without the experiences, 417 00:21:21,640 --> 00:21:23,760 Speaker 3: you don't get any better. Now we're asking for these 418 00:21:23,840 --> 00:21:27,240 Speaker 3: young ladies who have never experienced anything outside probably of 419 00:21:27,280 --> 00:21:30,199 Speaker 3: their homes, maybe a high school boyfriend. For Sky Jackson 420 00:21:30,320 --> 00:21:33,240 Speaker 3: especially be coming up as a Disney star who knows 421 00:21:33,280 --> 00:21:34,679 Speaker 3: all the things that she saw I didn't see, and 422 00:21:34,720 --> 00:21:36,080 Speaker 3: just wanted something fucking normal. 423 00:21:36,840 --> 00:21:43,960 Speaker 6: Normal jail, jail hold on normal is not jail, something 424 00:21:44,080 --> 00:21:48,520 Speaker 6: completely And I feel like as young women, sometimes you 425 00:21:48,640 --> 00:21:52,240 Speaker 6: rebel okay, And there's a part of rebellion when you're 426 00:21:52,320 --> 00:21:54,359 Speaker 6: young that you want to go for the bad boy. 427 00:21:54,440 --> 00:21:55,960 Speaker 3: You want to go for what makes you feel good, 428 00:21:55,960 --> 00:21:57,520 Speaker 3: for someone who's putting you up. And that's what I 429 00:21:57,600 --> 00:22:01,400 Speaker 3: kind of feel that we don't know these mother we don't, 430 00:22:01,400 --> 00:22:02,880 Speaker 3: we don't, we just judge it. I love it. 431 00:22:02,920 --> 00:22:03,280 Speaker 2: I love it. 432 00:22:03,520 --> 00:22:04,560 Speaker 3: Saying my favorite thing to do. 433 00:22:05,280 --> 00:22:05,639 Speaker 2: I don't know. 434 00:22:05,720 --> 00:22:08,440 Speaker 1: This is why I love the freedom of speech, which 435 00:22:08,440 --> 00:22:11,359 Speaker 1: is why y'all are more than welcome to say, y'all 436 00:22:11,359 --> 00:22:13,399 Speaker 1: fucking can't see about. 437 00:22:13,160 --> 00:22:15,480 Speaker 3: Freedom of speech. But the consequences do cost, and they cost. 438 00:22:15,880 --> 00:22:18,320 Speaker 3: They gotta be careful with that part. But again you're like, 439 00:22:18,359 --> 00:22:20,840 Speaker 3: I don't have compassion for them, but I see my child, 440 00:22:20,960 --> 00:22:23,840 Speaker 3: I see me at twenty one, twenty two making these 441 00:22:23,880 --> 00:22:28,960 Speaker 3: awful decisions, because you really don't realize the magnitude of 442 00:22:29,040 --> 00:22:31,760 Speaker 3: the consequences of what having a child is, what being 443 00:22:31,760 --> 00:22:34,040 Speaker 3: with a man in jail is, what having someone trying 444 00:22:34,040 --> 00:22:36,240 Speaker 3: to make you to drink bleach, to have an abortion, 445 00:22:36,680 --> 00:22:39,760 Speaker 3: what a man slamming your head into a steering wiell is. 446 00:22:39,840 --> 00:22:42,640 Speaker 3: You've never seen that experience it like, it's like, oh 447 00:22:42,720 --> 00:22:45,440 Speaker 3: my god, they're so young.

What allowed you 451 00:22:52,920 --> 00:22:57,080 Speaker 3: to be attracted to this type of person that also 452 00:22:57,400 --> 00:23:00,480 Speaker 3: clearly has gone through extremes amount of try in their 453 00:23:00,480 --> 00:23:02,160 Speaker 3: lifetime in order to be able to treat a woman 454 00:23:02,400 --> 00:23:04,240 Speaker 3: the way that dogs shouldn't even be treated. 455 00:23:04,280 --> 00:23:07,119 Speaker 1: First off, patriarchy brings us all trauma. Let's start there. 456 00:23:07,320 --> 00:23:09,760 Speaker 1: But I do want to ask you, then, if these 457 00:23:09,800 --> 00:23:15,000 Speaker 1: same women were thirty five, do you hold the same 458 00:23:15,080 --> 00:23:17,960 Speaker 1: grace And y'all know I'm bringing grace into the goddamn 459 00:23:18,200 --> 00:23:21,000 Speaker 1: chat and I can't stand at home, man, I know 460 00:23:21,880 --> 00:23:26,720 Speaker 1: grace is not amazing grace, So yes, you have this, 461 00:23:26,880 --> 00:23:29,080 Speaker 1: You hold the same space thirty three when I got 462 00:23:29,080 --> 00:23:30,720 Speaker 1: got I was thirty three. 463 00:23:31,800 --> 00:23:34,119 Speaker 3: That you know what I did, I wasn't doing because 464 00:23:34,160 --> 00:23:36,840 Speaker 3: it's a life.

At my big age of 576 00:29:43,160 --> 00:29:46,320 Speaker 3: thirty eight and having enough experience, I don't think she 577 00:29:46,320 --> 00:29:49,040 Speaker 3: should be dating.

However, 747 00:37:38,360 --> 00:37:41,840 Speaker 1: it becomes a little bit frustrating for me as a 748 00:37:41,880 --> 00:37:44,480 Speaker 1: woman who does do the work to have friends that 749 00:37:44,560 --> 00:37:50,200 Speaker 1: do the work to see women continuously only ostracize men 750 00:37:50,640 --> 00:37:54,160 Speaker 1: their behavior and not leaning into how we can keep 751 00:37:54,200 --> 00:37:58,160 Speaker 1: ourselves out of these situations. I think I see when 752 00:37:58,200 --> 00:38:01,920 Speaker 1: I see the sky Jackson's and the Hollies. I think 753 00:38:02,000 --> 00:38:04,480 Speaker 1: one of the biggest problems for me is we talk 754 00:38:04,560 --> 00:38:09,360 Speaker 1: about listening to women right, and I guess it becomes frustrating, 755 00:38:09,400 --> 00:38:13,040 Speaker 1: specifically from a Halle Bailey standpoint or even Cardi where 756 00:38:13,040 --> 00:38:15,720 Speaker 1: people are warning her about Steph. I think it becomes 757 00:38:15,760 --> 00:38:18,600 Speaker 1: frustrating when we as women don't even listen to other women. 758 00:38:18,600 --> 00:38:21,200 Speaker 3: Okay, let me's happening before I lose the train of thought. Yes, 759 00:38:21,440 --> 00:38:24,000 Speaker 3: we are talking. We are on the mics telling you 760 00:38:24,160 --> 00:38:27,680 Speaker 3: what we're doing. It's just not loud.

It's just not cool. 775 00:39:07,000 --> 00:39:11,080 Speaker 3: It's not like it doesn't create as much conversation. It's 776 00:39:11,120 --> 00:39:13,840 Speaker 3: just not what's the word I'm looking for.

It's tough you have immature men who 1267 01:02:54,240 --> 01:02:58,240 Speaker 3: want all of your attention to the baby. Absolutely, he 1268 01:02:58,360 --> 01:03:01,280 Speaker 3: used to hate breastfeeding me, breastfeeding him.

He's like, 1273 01:03:10,520 --> 01:03:12,160 Speaker 3: go sit in the stall and breastfeedt if figuring in 1274 01:03:12,160 --> 01:03:14,600 Speaker 3: a breastfeed not out here. I couldn't say the name 1275 01:03:14,640 --> 01:03:18,600 Speaker 3: of another man. Once that baby was born, things change, 1276 01:03:18,680 --> 01:03:21,320 Speaker 3: and as a woman you want to be there. Yeah, 1277 01:03:21,440 --> 01:03:22,760 Speaker 3: as a woman, you want to make it work. I 1278 01:03:22,840 --> 01:03:24,480 Speaker 3: just told you I came into this relationship because I 1279 01:03:24,480 --> 01:03:27,240 Speaker 3: wanted to show my daughter, a new version of a family. 1280 01:03:27,520 --> 01:03:30,080 Speaker 3: I need to show her what a marriage so so emotional. 1281 01:03:30,160 --> 01:03:32,200 Speaker 3: I need to show her that she's about to be 1282 01:03:32,280 --> 01:03:35,680 Speaker 3: a teenager, she's about to be a woman. She has 1283 01:03:35,760 --> 01:03:38,160 Speaker 3: to know what love is, what respect is, what a household, 1284 01:03:38,200 --> 01:03:39,640 Speaker 3: what a man looks like. So you look for that, 1285 01:03:39,880 --> 01:03:41,360 Speaker 3: and I ended up showing her the worst. 1286 01:03:42,160 --> 01:03:46,640 Speaker 1: Unfortunately, course correction or wanting to do something in spite, 1287 01:03:46,760 --> 01:03:50,840 Speaker 1: so the outcome of something else never ends well. 1288 01:03:50,880 --> 01:03:53,680 Speaker 3: When you go into something with a plan of your 1289 01:03:53,720 --> 01:03:55,840 Speaker 3: own that you're just hyper focused and not willing to 1290 01:03:55,880 --> 01:03:58,520 Speaker 3: see outside of it.
