1
00:00:11,880 --> 00:00:14,840
Speaker 1: Good morning, peeps, and welcome to okay f Daily with

2
00:00:14,880 --> 00:00:18,160
Speaker 1: Meet Your Girl Danielle Moody, recording live from our pod

3
00:00:18,200 --> 00:00:21,479
Speaker 1: stream studios in Times Square. You know, folks, it has

4
00:00:21,520 --> 00:00:25,360
Speaker 1: been a couple of weeks now since the United States

5
00:00:25,360 --> 00:00:31,720
Speaker 1: has withdrew from Afghanistan in their role of trying to

6
00:00:31,760 --> 00:00:34,800
Speaker 1: secure democracy in an area that they really had no

7
00:00:34,840 --> 00:00:38,280
Speaker 1: business in for the last twenty semite years. They have

8
00:00:38,440 --> 00:00:41,800
Speaker 1: left in many ways Afghanistan more unstable than it was

9
00:00:41,880 --> 00:00:44,839
Speaker 1: when they arrived in two thousand and one. There's an

10
00:00:44,880 --> 00:00:48,400
Speaker 1: interesting article though, that I want to draw our attention to,

11
00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:51,920
Speaker 1: which is really just using Afghanistan as a hook so

12
00:00:52,040 --> 00:00:57,040
Speaker 1: much as understanding the politics of nations that have anti

13
00:00:57,160 --> 00:01:01,800
Speaker 1: women agendas. And it's really interesting because I have to

14
00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:07,240
Speaker 1: say this. I tweeted yesterday that some days I think

15
00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:12,839
Speaker 1: about Hillary Clinton probably more than you know, most people

16
00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:18,680
Speaker 1: where it's I think about her walking around, you know,

17
00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:23,160
Speaker 1: her home or wherever, listening to the news and being

18
00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:27,640
Speaker 1: absolutely and thoroughly disgusted by the things that are unfolding.

19
00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:32,199
Speaker 1: That she warned the country of a decade ago, right

20
00:01:32,440 --> 00:01:35,800
Speaker 1: or more. Hillary Clinton had been talking about women and

21
00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:41,040
Speaker 1: girls issues when it wasn't popular when there was no hashtag,

22
00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:44,640
Speaker 1: when you know, she was being lambasted for being a

23
00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:46,800
Speaker 1: first lady who said, yeah, I don't want to fucking

24
00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:51,000
Speaker 1: bake your pies. Right, we can applaud that now, But

25
00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:54,320
Speaker 1: then an entire group of women came for her, and

26
00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:56,680
Speaker 1: it would be that same group of women that would

27
00:01:56,840 --> 00:02:01,200
Speaker 1: upset her ability to clench the highest office in the

28
00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:04,160
Speaker 1: land in twenty sixteen, when fifty three percent of white

29
00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:08,280
Speaker 1: women decided to vote against their own and instead vote

30
00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:14,480
Speaker 1: for a traitorous, treasonous, misogynist, islamophobic, homophobic, transphobic, racist piece

31
00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:20,480
Speaker 1: of shit Donald Trump. So what is really interesting to

32
00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:25,760
Speaker 1: me is that the Economist put out an article and

33
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:29,880
Speaker 1: this was the tweet that they sent out. And if

34
00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:33,360
Speaker 1: I were Hillary Clinton, I think that I would have

35
00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:36,920
Speaker 1: gone out in my backyard on my balcony where whatever

36
00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:41,280
Speaker 1: state she is at, and scream so loud that like

37
00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:46,040
Speaker 1: it would alarm everyone in the towns nearby. This is

38
00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:50,720
Speaker 1: what it read. There is growing evidence that Hillary Clinton

39
00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:54,799
Speaker 1: was on to something a decade ago when she said

40
00:02:55,160 --> 00:02:58,400
Speaker 1: the subjugation of women is a threat to the common

41
00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:04,120
Speaker 1: security of our world. Now you read this article and

42
00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:10,200
Speaker 1: Hillary Clinton, because she is better than me said in

43
00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:16,120
Speaker 1: a tweet responding to the Economists, thanks for noticing, because

44
00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:19,800
Speaker 1: all you can do right now if you are Hillary Clinton,

45
00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:24,320
Speaker 1: is throw an incredible amount of shade at the fuckery

46
00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:29,600
Speaker 1: that has maybe possibly and I guess we will see

47
00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:35,040
Speaker 1: with the midterm elections, wholly and completely gutted our democracy.

48
00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:38,640
Speaker 1: But the title of the article is this in the Economists,

49
00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:43,920
Speaker 1: Sex and Geopolitics, Why nations that fail Women Fail. I

50
00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:48,600
Speaker 1: think that it's incredibly important, and I said this last week.

51
00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:53,600
Speaker 1: You know, it is not lost on me that the

52
00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:57,640
Speaker 1: United States has the audacity to go around the world

53
00:03:58,040 --> 00:04:02,480
Speaker 1: to lambast and to shame other countries for their treatment

54
00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:07,720
Speaker 1: of women. Now, while we may not have outwardly facing

55
00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:14,560
Speaker 1: violent or brutal punishments for women, the policies that this

56
00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:19,960
Speaker 1: country supports and upholds are just as devastating as I

57
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:25,040
Speaker 1: would say, probably potentially being stoned to death or beaten right,

58
00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:28,440
Speaker 1: Because here's the thing. When we live in a country

59
00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:30,760
Speaker 1: where we know that one and four women are going

60
00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:35,080
Speaker 1: to be raped, right when you go on to a

61
00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:38,320
Speaker 1: college campus looking to your left, your right, your front,

62
00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:41,520
Speaker 1: and your back, and knowing that several of you in

63
00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:47,320
Speaker 1: that orientation assembly will be raped and we do nothing

64
00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:50,559
Speaker 1: about that. It is just a matter of fact. Don't

65
00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:54,120
Speaker 1: put your cup down, don't wear this outfit, don't go

66
00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:57,520
Speaker 1: to this party. The onus always being on the woman.

67
00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:00,320
Speaker 1: When you live in a country that goes on the

68
00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:04,960
Speaker 1: world proclaiming how important education is for girls and how

69
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:07,279
Speaker 1: we need to educate girls and how dare you be

70
00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:13,200
Speaker 1: this barbaric an archaic type of government. Well, I think

71
00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:17,799
Speaker 1: about how women in this country are doubly triply educated

72
00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:22,480
Speaker 1: in comparisons to men. I lifted up last week many

73
00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:26,200
Speaker 1: analytics and reports on the fact that the pandemic, but

74
00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:30,440
Speaker 1: even before the pandemic, that men were not looking for

75
00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:35,960
Speaker 1: higher education or attending post secondary in the way that

76
00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:40,200
Speaker 1: women are and have been, And that what happens when

77
00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:44,599
Speaker 1: men leave university when they dare not go into college, right,

78
00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:47,080
Speaker 1: when we have a class of men that will be

79
00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:52,039
Speaker 1: under educated, right and young, and possibly a lot more

80
00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:58,400
Speaker 1: aggressive right towards their women counterparts that are overly educated

81
00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:03,120
Speaker 1: gainfully Floyd, And what does that create in a society.

82
00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:08,160
Speaker 1: You look at America in the ways that women will

83
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:12,320
Speaker 1: enter into the workforce, and we all know because each

84
00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:15,520
Speaker 1: and every year when we do this Women's Equal pay Day,

85
00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:18,160
Speaker 1: and then Black Women's Equal pay Day, and then Latina

86
00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:22,960
Speaker 1: women Equal pay Day. That we know right that women

87
00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:26,479
Speaker 1: do not make equal to the amount as men, and

88
00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:29,640
Speaker 1: we know that this should in fact be illegal, but

89
00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:32,279
Speaker 1: we don't have a Congress and have not had a

90
00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:36,720
Speaker 1: president that does anything more then read us empty mantras

91
00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:40,720
Speaker 1: without backing that up with policy. So while we may

92
00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:43,839
Speaker 1: not have women dressed in a particular way in this

93
00:06:43,880 --> 00:06:47,320
Speaker 1: country or keep them out of school, we are most

94
00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:52,120
Speaker 1: certainly keeping and holding ourselves back as a nation by

95
00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:55,840
Speaker 1: the way in which we hold women back, right, because

96
00:06:55,839 --> 00:06:58,479
Speaker 1: we have this false choice that we have women have

97
00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:01,560
Speaker 1: to make in this country, I have a family or

98
00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:04,919
Speaker 1: should I continue working, because we have not set up

99
00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:08,640
Speaker 1: an infrastructure that allows both of those things to be true.

100
00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:14,239
Speaker 1: And less, of course, you are wealthy two million women,

101
00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:17,120
Speaker 1: and I'm sure that number is much higher. But when

102
00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:20,680
Speaker 1: first reported in the midst of twenty twenty, Stephanie Rule

103
00:07:20,760 --> 00:07:24,680
Speaker 1: said on MSNBC that two million women had left the workforce.

104
00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:30,040
Speaker 1: Why because they were strapped with having to both homeschool

105
00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:33,760
Speaker 1: right as well as hold on to their own jobs.

106
00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:36,840
Speaker 1: And at the end of it, when push came to shove.

107
00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:40,440
Speaker 1: What did they have to give up the ability to

108
00:07:40,520 --> 00:07:45,680
Speaker 1: be able to maintain building an income outside of the household. So,

109
00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:49,960
Speaker 1: whether or not we say explicitly like the Taliban and

110
00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:55,760
Speaker 1: other archaic governments, we do a lot of the same

111
00:07:55,800 --> 00:08:01,640
Speaker 1: similar shit. We just use euphemisms and news. Right. It

112
00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:05,120
Speaker 1: is the appearance of freedom for women, It is the

113
00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:09,880
Speaker 1: appearance of equity for women, but we don't actually practice that.

114
00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:13,480
Speaker 1: It is why we have so many subgroups and if

115
00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:17,320
Speaker 1: you work in corporate America, you have you know, employee

116
00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:19,720
Speaker 1: resource groups that are for women, that are for this.

117
00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:22,920
Speaker 1: Then we talk about mentorship programs and pipelines and all

118
00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:26,600
Speaker 1: of these things. Why because many of the policies that

119
00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:28,960
Speaker 1: we have on the books and that we continue to

120
00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:33,240
Speaker 1: okay in this country are steeped in patriarchy and misogyny.

121
00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:38,960
Speaker 1: So when the economists then has the audacity to say, well,

122
00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:41,840
Speaker 1: you know, maybe that Hillary Clinton, you know, the most

123
00:08:41,880 --> 00:08:45,440
Speaker 1: qualified person ever to run for president of these United States,

124
00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:50,800
Speaker 1: says something that maybe you know, she wasn't off base,

125
00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:56,240
Speaker 1: that maybe you know, this very intelligent, highly educated, strategic

126
00:08:56,320 --> 00:08:59,720
Speaker 1: woman knew what the fuck she was talking about, but

127
00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:02,880
Speaker 1: no one listened to her because she was in fact

128
00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:06,240
Speaker 1: a woman. So here is a bit of this piece.

129
00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:10,160
Speaker 1: After America and its allies toppled the Taliban in two

130
00:09:10,160 --> 00:09:14,280
Speaker 1: thousand and one, primary school enrollment of Afghan girls rose

131
00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:19,640
Speaker 1: from zero percent to above eighty percent. Infant mortality fell

132
00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:25,600
Speaker 1: by half. Forced marriages were made illegal, Many of those

133
00:09:25,640 --> 00:09:29,000
Speaker 1: schools were ropey, and many families ignored the law. But

134
00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:32,200
Speaker 1: no one seriously doubts that Afghan women and girls have

135
00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:35,360
Speaker 1: made great gains in the past twenty years, or that

136
00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:40,040
Speaker 1: those gains are now in jeopardy. The United States is

137
00:09:40,240 --> 00:09:44,720
Speaker 1: quote committed to advancing gender equality through its foreign policy.

138
00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:49,040
Speaker 1: According to the State Department, bequeathing billions of dollars worth

139
00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:51,960
Speaker 1: of arms and a medium sized country to a group

140
00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:54,920
Speaker 1: of violent misogynists is an odd way to show it.

141
00:09:55,920 --> 00:09:59,760
Speaker 1: Of course, foreign policy involves difficult trade offs, but the

142
00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:03,760
Speaker 1: is growing evidence that Hillary Clinton was on to something

143
00:10:04,080 --> 00:10:06,960
Speaker 1: when she said a decade ago that the subjugation of

144
00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:09,240
Speaker 1: women is a threat to the common security for our

145
00:10:09,280 --> 00:10:14,080
Speaker 1: world societies. They write that oppressed women are far more

146
00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:19,720
Speaker 1: likely to be violent and unstable. They go on there

147
00:10:19,720 --> 00:10:23,720
Speaker 1: are several possible reasons for this. In many places, girls

148
00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:28,240
Speaker 1: are selectively aborted or fatally neglected. This has led to

149
00:10:28,400 --> 00:10:32,360
Speaker 1: skewed sex ratios, which mean millions of young men are

150
00:10:32,440 --> 00:10:36,520
Speaker 1: doomed to remain single. Frustrated young men are more likely

151
00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:40,440
Speaker 1: to commit violent crimes or join rebel groups. I want

152
00:10:40,440 --> 00:10:44,439
Speaker 1: to pause here for a minute because this is something

153
00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:51,240
Speaker 1: that again we don't discuss right which is the psychology

154
00:10:51,920 --> 00:10:57,040
Speaker 1: of white male rage. And I'm particularly talking about this

155
00:10:57,120 --> 00:11:00,400
Speaker 1: in the context of the United States and the texts

156
00:11:00,440 --> 00:11:04,600
Speaker 1: of who we look to right as being the quote

157
00:11:04,679 --> 00:11:09,240
Speaker 1: unquote norm and the quote unquote mainstream, and what we

158
00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:12,800
Speaker 1: have seen in this country. And again this is just

159
00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:16,760
Speaker 1: based on my observation, not any report that has come out,

160
00:11:16,840 --> 00:11:20,840
Speaker 1: but I'm assuming that one will, which is this, Over

161
00:11:20,880 --> 00:11:24,439
Speaker 1: the last ten plus years, according to the FBI reporting,

162
00:11:24,760 --> 00:11:27,920
Speaker 1: there's been a rise in white supremacist groups. There has

163
00:11:27,960 --> 00:11:31,239
Speaker 1: also been a rise in hate crimes and violence, oftentimes

164
00:11:31,280 --> 00:11:34,920
Speaker 1: perpetuated at the hands of white men. We know that

165
00:11:34,920 --> 00:11:38,400
Speaker 1: a majority of mass shootings, for instance, have been done

166
00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:43,840
Speaker 1: at the hands of white men. There is also right

167
00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:49,080
Speaker 1: as we have seen a either status quo for women's

168
00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:52,920
Speaker 1: rights or a rollback, which we are seeing right now

169
00:11:53,160 --> 00:11:56,160
Speaker 1: happen in Texas and the domino effect that is going

170
00:11:56,240 --> 00:12:03,680
Speaker 1: to unfold with red state governors. Does anybody think about

171
00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:08,040
Speaker 1: the parallels between the rise in the white domestic terrorists

172
00:12:08,040 --> 00:12:12,040
Speaker 1: groups and violence in this country, the decrease in enrollment

173
00:12:12,760 --> 00:12:18,559
Speaker 1: in college and university in this country for men, right,

174
00:12:18,760 --> 00:12:24,120
Speaker 1: and how these two things are actually overlapping, and that

175
00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:29,440
Speaker 1: the more educated men are, right that the less likely

176
00:12:29,520 --> 00:12:35,800
Speaker 1: they are to become violent, to be unstable. And the

177
00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:40,600
Speaker 1: idea that the more rights right that we bestow to

178
00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:45,280
Speaker 1: women to make the playing field equal, the better off

179
00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:49,240
Speaker 1: in the long term our country is. And what this

180
00:12:49,360 --> 00:12:52,720
Speaker 1: piece is saying is that very same thing, but looking

181
00:12:52,720 --> 00:12:55,880
Speaker 1: at it on a global scale and not just looking

182
00:12:55,880 --> 00:12:59,040
Speaker 1: at the United States. But you see, the thing is

183
00:12:59,040 --> 00:13:01,640
Speaker 1: is that in this country we are more interested in

184
00:13:01,760 --> 00:13:05,280
Speaker 1: putting band aids on bullet holes than we are on

185
00:13:05,360 --> 00:13:08,959
Speaker 1: anything else. You see, we only ever want to unpack

186
00:13:09,040 --> 00:13:12,920
Speaker 1: the psychology when we're trying to invoke empathy in white

187
00:13:12,920 --> 00:13:18,080
Speaker 1: male rage. We never actually decide, let's unpack the psychology

188
00:13:18,120 --> 00:13:21,800
Speaker 1: to better understand the policies that are driving this type

189
00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:25,400
Speaker 1: of fucking violence and this type of increase in white

190
00:13:25,400 --> 00:13:30,080
Speaker 1: supremacist violent groups, right, because they are oftentimes let us

191
00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:33,439
Speaker 1: be clear is that these white supremaist groups are often

192
00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:38,640
Speaker 1: steeped in misogyny as well, which is why in twenty

193
00:13:38,720 --> 00:13:42,400
Speaker 1: sixteen you would found me with my mouth agape because

194
00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:45,559
Speaker 1: I'm like, how to fuck these white women? Go ahead

195
00:13:45,679 --> 00:13:49,080
Speaker 1: and vote for these men that don't want you to

196
00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:52,040
Speaker 1: have access to an abortion, that want to keep you

197
00:13:52,120 --> 00:13:56,040
Speaker 1: locked in the household. But in your reptilian brain, you're

198
00:13:56,120 --> 00:14:00,520
Speaker 1: thinking about what survival and survival only, which for white

199
00:14:00,520 --> 00:14:04,920
Speaker 1: women is that the proximity to maleness right is where

200
00:14:04,960 --> 00:14:12,239
Speaker 1: their power lies. So we enforce, we reinforce this continual

201
00:14:12,559 --> 00:14:17,959
Speaker 1: sicular fuckery because we don't address anything actually at the route.

202
00:14:19,400 --> 00:14:21,600
Speaker 1: And what they will go on to say in the piece,

203
00:14:21,600 --> 00:14:25,280
Speaker 1: which I thought is really interesting as well, is that

204
00:14:25,320 --> 00:14:29,880
Speaker 1: when women are locked into these violent type of domestic

205
00:14:29,960 --> 00:14:34,280
Speaker 1: situations right, it is also less likely that they are

206
00:14:34,360 --> 00:14:39,160
Speaker 1: going to be educating thoughtful strategic leaders for the future.

207
00:14:39,760 --> 00:14:44,680
Speaker 1: So if you're thinking again about your country's ability to

208
00:14:45,160 --> 00:14:50,760
Speaker 1: reimagine manifest destiny and a Taliban takeover, or if you're

209
00:14:51,480 --> 00:14:53,880
Speaker 1: you know, a dictator or what have you, and you're

210
00:14:53,920 --> 00:14:59,080
Speaker 1: looking to spread your wings, why wouldn't you want as

211
00:14:59,240 --> 00:15:03,560
Speaker 1: many educa CAD people pushing your country forward as possible.

212
00:15:03,880 --> 00:15:06,960
Speaker 1: But it's the same question that I ask about the

213
00:15:07,120 --> 00:15:10,600
Speaker 1: United States, is the same question that I ask about

214
00:15:10,600 --> 00:15:15,160
Speaker 1: the Taliban, which is, why wouldn't you invest in women.

215
00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:19,160
Speaker 1: Why wouldn't you make equal pay the law of the land.

216
00:15:19,240 --> 00:15:23,479
Speaker 1: Why wouldn't you make it so that in a country

217
00:15:23,520 --> 00:15:27,720
Speaker 1: that was founded on Christian fundamentalism, that if you wanted

218
00:15:28,080 --> 00:15:32,320
Speaker 1: people to actually have families, right to increase the population,

219
00:15:32,720 --> 00:15:34,560
Speaker 1: then you would do so in a way that would

220
00:15:34,600 --> 00:15:38,240
Speaker 1: allow there to be a mandate in private corporations to

221
00:15:38,320 --> 00:15:41,800
Speaker 1: have childcare right on the grounds it would be the

222
00:15:41,880 --> 00:15:46,160
Speaker 1: same for the federal government and workers that childcare is

223
00:15:46,160 --> 00:15:48,560
Speaker 1: a part of your package, right, just like a four

224
00:15:48,600 --> 00:15:51,400
Speaker 1: oh one K, just like health insurance, that if you

225
00:15:51,480 --> 00:15:54,920
Speaker 1: have a child that is not of school age, then

226
00:15:55,080 --> 00:15:59,040
Speaker 1: we are providing childcare for you. Because you see, that's

227
00:15:59,080 --> 00:16:02,800
Speaker 1: what a logical country would do that wants to increase

228
00:16:02,800 --> 00:16:06,040
Speaker 1: its GDP, that wants to be in competition with the

229
00:16:06,080 --> 00:16:09,240
Speaker 1: rest of the fucking world. You wouldn't then make it

230
00:16:09,320 --> 00:16:14,280
Speaker 1: so half of the global population is unable to access

231
00:16:14,640 --> 00:16:20,600
Speaker 1: any type of economic individualism or community building that could

232
00:16:20,680 --> 00:16:25,360
Speaker 1: make your country better. But it's the same fucking patriarchal

233
00:16:25,440 --> 00:16:29,840
Speaker 1: logic that the Taliban uses that white Christian fundamentalists use

234
00:16:29,880 --> 00:16:33,080
Speaker 1: in the United States. And so what pisces me off

235
00:16:33,440 --> 00:16:36,520
Speaker 1: to no end is that over the last couple of weeks,

236
00:16:36,640 --> 00:16:39,560
Speaker 1: right the last week or so, that we are now

237
00:16:39,680 --> 00:16:45,360
Speaker 1: dealing with the you know, the blast radius of Texas's

238
00:16:45,440 --> 00:16:51,840
Speaker 1: new abortion band that you're turning around and you're saying, huh.

239
00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:56,360
Speaker 1: People are referring to this as like y'all kata and

240
00:16:56,880 --> 00:16:59,800
Speaker 1: naming it. You know, what they think is funny, pithy

241
00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:04,440
Speaker 1: things that are mocking Islam. When I'm like, no, no, no, no,

242
00:17:04,600 --> 00:17:07,600
Speaker 1: dear friend, this ain't have nothing to do with Islam.

243
00:17:07,680 --> 00:17:11,240
Speaker 1: What is happening in fucking Texas. This is Christian fundamentalism

244
00:17:11,240 --> 00:17:14,440
Speaker 1: and extremism run a fucking mock. But because it's white

245
00:17:14,440 --> 00:17:17,919
Speaker 1: people with their white Jesus, you've decided to turn the

246
00:17:17,960 --> 00:17:22,199
Speaker 1: other cheek or look the other fucking way. And the

247
00:17:22,280 --> 00:17:25,760
Speaker 1: reality is is that they are abusing women in the

248
00:17:25,880 --> 00:17:29,440
Speaker 1: same fucking way. So do not make it seem as

249
00:17:29,440 --> 00:17:33,280
Speaker 1: you have this one pristine, untouchable religion and then you

250
00:17:33,359 --> 00:17:36,639
Speaker 1: have oh Islam over here. It is one in the

251
00:17:36,720 --> 00:17:40,000
Speaker 1: fucking same, which is about men being in power and

252
00:17:40,160 --> 00:17:43,200
Speaker 1: men ruling alone. And what we have seen is that

253
00:17:43,200 --> 00:17:47,680
Speaker 1: that creates war, it creates famine, and it creates instability.

254
00:17:47,760 --> 00:17:50,359
Speaker 1: So when will we learn? Is the question that I

255
00:17:50,480 --> 00:17:54,720
Speaker 1: have and the question that I'm sure was posed by

256
00:17:54,880 --> 00:17:58,080
Speaker 1: Hillary Clinton so many fucking moons ago. But you know,

257
00:17:58,400 --> 00:18:06,240
