I The only reason I knew today's day 14 00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:14,240 Speaker 1: is because, um, as you know, Samantha, unless there's too 15 00:01:14,240 --> 00:01:17,319 Speaker 1: I have a weird thing with numbers, and today we 16 00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:21,040 Speaker 1: usually play Dungeons and Dragons on Tuesday, and I chose 17 00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:25,440 Speaker 1: this as the date for possible first session because it's 18 00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:31,360 Speaker 1: one one to twoosi or two one. All right, Yes, 19 00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:34,480 Speaker 1: I know it's strange. I mean, hey, I like it. 20 00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:39,280 Speaker 1: It's a very succinct of you. It succinct, it's a 21 00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:42,280 Speaker 1: nice word for it. But I wanted to talk about 22 00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:46,119 Speaker 1: the date in this one, just because we're doing an 23 00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:48,920 Speaker 1: update episode. It's been a minute since. We've just kind 24 00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:50,920 Speaker 1: of done a roundup of the news that's going on 25 00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:55,160 Speaker 1: in the world, and a lot has happened. A lot 26 00:01:55,240 --> 00:02:01,560 Speaker 1: has happened, um, and it's continuing to happen because they happen. Yes, 27 00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:05,280 Speaker 1: So I think we're this probably comes out the day 28 00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:08,120 Speaker 1: after we recorded, and I wouldn't be surprised if, like 29 00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:13,679 Speaker 1: the whole world has changed. Yes, Jess wanted to put 30 00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:17,640 Speaker 1: in the date, uh, and also quick trigger warning. We 31 00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:20,720 Speaker 1: are going to have brief mentions of sexual assault, um, 32 00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:26,080 Speaker 1: sexual abuse and murder. I mean pretty like a news 33 00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:27,919 Speaker 1: like this is what happened in the story. We're not 34 00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:29,800 Speaker 1: going to get into any details, but I did want 35 00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:32,560 Speaker 1: to say it's going to be there. Yeah, yeah, I 36 00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:37,200 Speaker 1: just want to warn everybody about that. But first, let's 37 00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:40,640 Speaker 1: talk about some sports, because lots have happened with women 38 00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:42,480 Speaker 1: in sports. Like we're gonna miss some of it because 39 00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:44,160 Speaker 1: I already I'm like, there so much I wanted to 40 00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:47,040 Speaker 1: talk about. And of course it's been you know, ten 41 00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:50,919 Speaker 1: years since December, so I can't quite we can't quite 42 00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:53,560 Speaker 1: remember all the things, amazing things that are happening, but yes, 43 00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:57,079 Speaker 1: we did want to celebrate them. Of that, yes, um, 44 00:02:57,160 --> 00:03:01,520 Speaker 1: And let's start with the NBA. So in late Becky 45 00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:04,280 Speaker 1: Hammond made history by becoming the first woman to act 46 00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:07,519 Speaker 1: as head coach for an NBA team during a regular 47 00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:12,240 Speaker 1: season game. She's the assistant coach to the San Antonio Spurs, 48 00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:14,960 Speaker 1: but she stepped into the head coach role after the 49 00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:18,840 Speaker 1: man serving in that position was ejected during the first half. 50 00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:23,840 Speaker 1: When asked about it after the game, Hammond said, obviously, 51 00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:26,400 Speaker 1: it's a big deal. It's a substantial moment. Honestly, in 52 00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:28,440 Speaker 1: the moment, I was just trying to win the game. 53 00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:30,160 Speaker 1: I say this a lot, but I try not to 54 00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:32,360 Speaker 1: think about the huge picture and the huge aspect of 55 00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:36,240 Speaker 1: it because it can get overwhelming the Spurs that we're 56 00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:44,040 Speaker 1: playing the Lakers that night, and the Lakers ultimately one um. 57 00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:48,080 Speaker 1: Lebron James, though, congratulated her, saying it's a very beautiful 58 00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:50,800 Speaker 1: thing just to hear her barking out calls, barking out sets. 59 00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:53,840 Speaker 1: She's very passionate about the game. Congrats to her and 60 00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:57,920 Speaker 1: congrats for our league. And all of this was after 61 00:03:58,040 --> 00:04:01,480 Speaker 1: Hammond made history when the Spurs hired her to a 62 00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:05,520 Speaker 1: full time coaching position, and this all after she played 63 00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:10,240 Speaker 1: sixteen seasons for the w n B A. I wonder 64 00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:16,560 Speaker 1: why you used the term barking. I thought about that too. 65 00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:21,680 Speaker 1: I'm choosing to believe it's because she sounds really fierce. Okay, um, 66 00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:25,599 Speaker 1: but yeah, okay, we'll go with that. But let's move 67 00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:28,040 Speaker 1: on to a baseball And yes, it's been a minute 68 00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:30,120 Speaker 1: since was this was announced, but we of course have 69 00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:33,200 Speaker 1: to highlight it. Uh So it was announced earlier this 70 00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:36,520 Speaker 1: year that as of marche, Bianca Smith will start her 71 00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:40,600 Speaker 1: position as the Boston Red Sox minor league coach, becoming 72 00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:43,240 Speaker 1: the first black woman in major league history to act 73 00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:47,680 Speaker 1: as an on filled coach. And she's only twenty nine, Okay, 74 00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:52,640 Speaker 1: feeling really pretty much underachiever, She said about it quote, 75 00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:55,240 Speaker 1: I don't consider myself a role model before this. It's 76 00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:57,160 Speaker 1: still kind of weird to think that, to be honest, 77 00:04:57,480 --> 00:04:59,400 Speaker 1: that wasn't really my intention when I took the job. 78 00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:01,679 Speaker 1: But I'm happy if my story can inspire other women, 79 00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:04,960 Speaker 1: other women of color, other people of color, or really anybody. 80 00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:07,200 Speaker 1: I don't want to put limits on it. If anybody 81 00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:09,680 Speaker 1: is inspired by the story, then even better, which is 82 00:05:09,839 --> 00:05:16,400 Speaker 1: a big congratulations, Bianca. Yes. Also in baseball news, Kim 83 00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:21,040 Speaker 1: A made history in November as becoming the first uh 84 00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:25,000 Speaker 1: general manager for a Major League baseball Yep, she will 85 00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:28,280 Speaker 1: be the first manager for the Miami Marlins and has 86 00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:30,320 Speaker 1: made a huge step. She's also the first East Asian 87 00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:33,479 Speaker 1: American to hold this position as well. So congratulations and 88 00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:35,880 Speaker 1: we're excited to see what happens. Go Marlin's I guess 89 00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:41,800 Speaker 1: And now let's start out football. Um. Yeah. Towards the 90 00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:45,200 Speaker 1: end of Sarah Fuller was touted as the first woman 91 00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:48,479 Speaker 1: to score in a college football game while playing for Vanderbilt. 92 00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:51,960 Speaker 1: Her varsity sport is soccer, but she stepped into some 93 00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:57,240 Speaker 1: football shoes due to player absences because of COVID nineteen uh. 94 00:05:57,320 --> 00:06:00,200 Speaker 1: And she sparked a lot of conversation. But also she 95 00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:02,400 Speaker 1: was not the first woman to score in a college 96 00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:05,440 Speaker 1: football game. Uh. Not to diminish at all what she did, 97 00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:09,000 Speaker 1: but you know, just context. Um. Katie Hanita scored the 98 00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:11,480 Speaker 1: first points for college football for New Mexico in two 99 00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:14,320 Speaker 1: thousand three, and she was followed by Kent States April 100 00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:19,680 Speaker 1: Goss and and they weren't the only ones either. Um. 101 00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:23,600 Speaker 1: But Katie Henita started playing at Colorado, where she alleged 102 00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:26,880 Speaker 1: a teammate raped her, but the charges were never filed. 103 00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:30,560 Speaker 1: In response, she was mocked by her coach, attacked by fans, 104 00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:36,080 Speaker 1: and rape apologist. Because of that, she's often left out 105 00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:40,279 Speaker 1: of this first conversation UM. Her stories a painful one 106 00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:43,479 Speaker 1: and a reminder of what women in the world of 107 00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:48,520 Speaker 1: sports so often face. UM and moving on a little 108 00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:51,880 Speaker 1: away from sports, we wanted to talk about Elliott Page 109 00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:54,000 Speaker 1: and we know most of you have already been aware 110 00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:57,400 Speaker 1: of Elliott Page's announcement in December stating he's trans with 111 00:06:57,480 --> 00:07:00,000 Speaker 1: the preferred pronouns of he they, but we couldn't pass 112 00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:01,839 Speaker 1: us up at the moment to celebrate with him and 113 00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:06,000 Speaker 1: his openness and inspiration for all the lgbt Q plus community, 114 00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:09,400 Speaker 1: and many of his colleagues and past co stars said 115 00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:11,920 Speaker 1: love and support as he made the public announcement, and 116 00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:15,880 Speaker 1: of course his biggest supporter his partner, Emma Partner they've 117 00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:19,280 Speaker 1: been maisedince January eighteen and uh Emma said a message 118 00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:22,920 Speaker 1: of love, stating quote trans queer and non binaty people 119 00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:25,160 Speaker 1: are a gift to this world, and she went on 120 00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:27,480 Speaker 1: to say that Elliott's existence is a gift in and 121 00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:34,960 Speaker 1: of itself. Shine on sweet e. So yeah, that's sweet. Okay. 122 00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:40,360 Speaker 1: So some other news in arts Volva themed arts specifically, 123 00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:44,960 Speaker 1: Uh yeah, well yes, because it recently there is this 124 00:07:45,080 --> 00:07:49,440 Speaker 1: peace that caused quite the controversy in Brazil. So, after 125 00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:52,680 Speaker 1: eleven months of carving and trench digging, twenty men lowered 126 00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:55,240 Speaker 1: a one hundred and eight foot longer about thirty three 127 00:07:55,360 --> 00:08:00,520 Speaker 1: ms long Volva handcarved by sculptor Juliana not A into 128 00:08:00,520 --> 00:08:03,440 Speaker 1: the grounds of Brazil's Botanical Art Park You've seen a. 129 00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:07,480 Speaker 1: Notari calls the work diva, and she says it quote 130 00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:10,560 Speaker 1: questions the relationship between nature and culture in our western 131 00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:15,280 Speaker 1: phallocentric and anthropocentric society and that it should spark conversation 132 00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:21,000 Speaker 1: about the quote problematization of gender. Um. So yeah, this 133 00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:26,480 Speaker 1: piece of art caused fiery debate. Uh. It debuted mere 134 00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:30,880 Speaker 1: days after Brazil's president claimed that abortion would never be 135 00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:34,640 Speaker 1: legal in the country. He came out hard against the sculpture, 136 00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:39,880 Speaker 1: labeling it as quote leftist propaganda of scene and reprehensible. 137 00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:44,360 Speaker 1: When the artist first posted about its debut on Facebook, 138 00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:47,160 Speaker 1: it got over twenty five thousand comments. Many of them 139 00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:51,960 Speaker 1: from enraged right wingers. One right wing Brazilian pundit suggested 140 00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:55,520 Speaker 1: that the sculpture should be dealt with with a penis 141 00:08:55,559 --> 00:09:05,440 Speaker 1: of the same size, which is gross and disturbing. Yeah, yeah, 142 00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:08,720 Speaker 1: here's the taste of one of the Facebook comments. Is 143 00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:11,280 Speaker 1: it not enough to see so many women showing their 144 00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:14,880 Speaker 1: bums using short shorts? Are mini skirts? Now there's a 145 00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:18,520 Speaker 1: vagina on an open field. This to me can never 146 00:09:18,559 --> 00:09:22,679 Speaker 1: be called arts um. And then there was another one 147 00:09:22,679 --> 00:09:26,120 Speaker 1: where a father was like, what will I say to 148 00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:29,559 Speaker 1: my daughter, my eleven year old daughter when she sees this? 149 00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:31,720 Speaker 1: And then there's a comment under it where it's like, 150 00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:35,760 Speaker 1: maybe don't make your daughter ashamed of hergital right or 151 00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:39,240 Speaker 1: you gonna be like, this is your vagina is in 152 00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:42,200 Speaker 1: the story? I don't understand. I think she's already probably 153 00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:45,560 Speaker 1: know she has one. She doesn't. That's a whole of 154 00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:49,400 Speaker 1: the problem. You need to have a conversation. This is 155 00:09:49,400 --> 00:09:51,319 Speaker 1: not the artist first time when it comes to art 156 00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:54,080 Speaker 1: and the female body, which she often suggests similar to 157 00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:57,200 Speaker 1: an open wound and representative of the wound of social 158 00:09:57,240 --> 00:09:59,959 Speaker 1: inequality when it comes to women, which we had to 159 00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:02,120 Speaker 1: talk a little more, not too much more about what's 160 00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:06,400 Speaker 1: happening with Brazil later on with abortion, uh rights coming 161 00:10:06,400 --> 00:10:09,520 Speaker 1: through in Argentina. But she told CNN quote is one 162 00:10:09,559 --> 00:10:12,000 Speaker 1: of the biggest wounds I've created. This wound is, however, 163 00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:17,360 Speaker 1: infinitely smaller when compared to the traumas of slavery, unprotected employment, ecoside, 164 00:10:17,400 --> 00:10:20,120 Speaker 1: and violent traumas that happened in this Yusena as an 165 00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:26,960 Speaker 1: other private colonial properties um And obviously it's pretty striking. Yeah, yeah, 166 00:10:27,040 --> 00:10:33,040 Speaker 1: it's it's really striking. It's like this beautiful red just 167 00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:38,640 Speaker 1: vulva green, nice green hill. I've found it very very 168 00:10:38,760 --> 00:10:42,920 Speaker 1: visually striking. Yeah. Also, of note, because it has made 169 00:10:42,920 --> 00:10:48,640 Speaker 1: a big splash, there's a Danish TV children's show about 170 00:10:48,640 --> 00:10:52,679 Speaker 1: a man with a giant penis. And that's all to 171 00:10:52,720 --> 00:11:00,440 Speaker 1: be said for now. Well, okay, there you go. Interesting, Yes, 172 00:11:00,559 --> 00:11:03,959 Speaker 1: interesting is a word for it. Uh So that's that's 173 00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:08,400 Speaker 1: our brief wrap up of the entertainment art world. But 174 00:11:08,440 --> 00:11:10,880 Speaker 1: we did want to talk about some politics first though. 175 00:11:10,880 --> 00:11:12,640 Speaker 1: We're gonna pause for a quick break for word from 176 00:11:12,640 --> 00:11:29,800 Speaker 1: our sponsored and we're back, thank you sponsored. Um. Yeah, 177 00:11:29,920 --> 00:11:32,679 Speaker 1: so we wanted to jump a little into politics, and 178 00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:35,040 Speaker 1: I know, I know, I know, everybody's kind of tired 179 00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:38,800 Speaker 1: of it, but we couldn't bypass updates without mentioning things 180 00:11:38,840 --> 00:11:43,280 Speaker 1: that are happening in the political sense of disasters. I 181 00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:45,800 Speaker 1: guess I don't know how to say it, but yeah, 182 00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:48,880 Speaker 1: so specifically to q And on the conspiracy and the 183 00:11:48,960 --> 00:11:53,560 Speaker 1: riots that had just recently occurred. Um, No, there isn't 184 00:11:53,559 --> 00:11:56,280 Speaker 1: any specific numbers right now that I could find. Uh, 185 00:11:56,760 --> 00:11:59,440 Speaker 1: there were plenty of women present for the riot of 186 00:11:59,679 --> 00:12:03,120 Speaker 1: on Capitol Hill, although if you look at the pictures, 187 00:12:03,160 --> 00:12:07,000 Speaker 1: they are definitely outnumbered by them men. So whatever the proportions, 188 00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:09,400 Speaker 1: maybe I did find it odd that out of the 189 00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:12,520 Speaker 1: five people that were killed, two or women, especially again, 190 00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:14,240 Speaker 1: as I said, when you look at the pictures, the 191 00:12:14,280 --> 00:12:16,800 Speaker 1: majority of the people they are seen to be men. 192 00:12:17,520 --> 00:12:20,920 Speaker 1: Um and so that seems like a percentage wise, a 193 00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:24,440 Speaker 1: bigger percentage of what was represented, a bigger percentage of 194 00:12:24,720 --> 00:12:27,520 Speaker 1: women who are killed than what was represented. So that's 195 00:12:27,640 --> 00:12:30,360 Speaker 1: I found that interesting in itself. Um, and we're not 196 00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:32,319 Speaker 1: going to talk too much, but we did. Again, like 197 00:12:32,360 --> 00:12:35,880 Speaker 1: I said, we didn't want to mention what's happening with that. Yeah, 198 00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:39,240 Speaker 1: So we've talked about q and on a few times 199 00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:43,040 Speaker 1: on the show, and their research is pretty new on that, 200 00:12:43,080 --> 00:12:47,040 Speaker 1: but one thing is clear. Social media has played a 201 00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:51,080 Speaker 1: huge part in creating and spreading this conspiracy theory. In 202 00:12:51,160 --> 00:12:54,640 Speaker 1: one report, uh, it's said that platforms like Instagram have 203 00:12:54,760 --> 00:12:58,480 Speaker 1: had a huge influence on right winged conservatives in spreading 204 00:12:59,040 --> 00:13:02,240 Speaker 1: of the Q and on conspiracies, especially on women, as 205 00:13:02,280 --> 00:13:06,080 Speaker 1: the majority of the users on Instagram are women. And 206 00:13:06,120 --> 00:13:08,560 Speaker 1: we are definitely going to look more into the influence 207 00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:13,719 Speaker 1: of social media women and extremism in a later episode, 208 00:13:13,760 --> 00:13:17,560 Speaker 1: So keep an eye out for that one. Yes, uh, sorry, 209 00:13:18,040 --> 00:13:24,720 Speaker 1: just too too clear for us to ignore, too clear 210 00:13:24,800 --> 00:13:30,640 Speaker 1: to ignore to present. I don't know, also say it, um, 211 00:13:30,679 --> 00:13:32,719 Speaker 1: and we don't want to linger too long on all 212 00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:36,280 Speaker 1: the things that we already know, because I know, for me, 213 00:13:36,360 --> 00:13:38,480 Speaker 1: I've been pretty glued to the news and reports of 214 00:13:38,520 --> 00:13:41,600 Speaker 1: what's been happening since January six. However, we did want 215 00:13:41,640 --> 00:13:44,360 Speaker 1: to look at some of the results of that day, um, 216 00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:47,640 Speaker 1: and one specifically was the death of Ashley Babbitt, who 217 00:13:47,760 --> 00:13:51,319 Speaker 1: was an ex military, avid Q and non supporter who, 218 00:13:51,440 --> 00:13:54,520 Speaker 1: according to her social media, posted frequently in support of 219 00:13:54,600 --> 00:13:57,680 Speaker 1: Trump about the fact that the election was stolen. All 220 00:13:57,760 --> 00:14:00,840 Speaker 1: these things as you was shot eempting to break through 221 00:14:00,920 --> 00:14:04,280 Speaker 1: the glass door at the Capitol. There were many different 222 00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:08,120 Speaker 1: rumors women around who she was initially, including that for 223 00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:10,520 Speaker 1: one of the conspiracy theories that she was actually part 224 00:14:10,600 --> 00:14:13,800 Speaker 1: of Antifa uh and some spread that she was an 225 00:14:13,840 --> 00:14:17,320 Speaker 1: Antifa insergeant to bring violence in and then some like 226 00:14:17,480 --> 00:14:20,760 Speaker 1: the attorney from Georgia Lynn Wood, said that she actually 227 00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:23,360 Speaker 1: didn't die and was alive and well, and this was 228 00:14:23,400 --> 00:14:27,560 Speaker 1: another conspiracy made by the radical left, but we can 229 00:14:27,680 --> 00:14:31,920 Speaker 1: state that she was confirmed dead. So it's really interesting 230 00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:39,359 Speaker 1: the extremes that they have gone and specifically to this woman. Yeah. 231 00:14:39,400 --> 00:14:43,360 Speaker 1: And and in the fallout she has become a martyr 232 00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:48,080 Speaker 1: to to this cause. UM. It is reported that she 233 00:14:48,240 --> 00:14:50,840 Speaker 1: was hailed as the quote first victim of the Second 234 00:14:50,960 --> 00:14:54,360 Speaker 1: Civil War and is being hailed as a quote freedom fighter. 235 00:14:55,040 --> 00:14:58,280 Speaker 1: Many have posted about her being executed for fighting for 236 00:14:58,600 --> 00:15:02,600 Speaker 1: free and ferial election and have even vowed quote your 237 00:15:02,640 --> 00:15:05,680 Speaker 1: blood will not be in vain, we will avenge you. 238 00:15:06,360 --> 00:15:11,120 Speaker 1: And with that, the hashtag say her name was used 239 00:15:11,360 --> 00:15:15,360 Speaker 1: in regards to her death. UM and many of those 240 00:15:15,400 --> 00:15:18,000 Speaker 1: who watched as the Q and on and far right 241 00:15:18,040 --> 00:15:23,320 Speaker 1: groups appropriated the hashtags ayer name, We're more than upset 242 00:15:23,760 --> 00:15:26,960 Speaker 1: um as creator of the say her Name hashtag, Kimberly 243 00:15:26,960 --> 00:15:29,640 Speaker 1: Crenshaw tweeted hashtags say her Name is a campaign to 244 00:15:29,680 --> 00:15:32,560 Speaker 1: reverse the invisibility of black women killed by the police 245 00:15:32,560 --> 00:15:35,680 Speaker 1: and the long legacy of state sanctioned violence against black 246 00:15:35,720 --> 00:15:39,200 Speaker 1: women that has repeatedly been erased. The debauched right wing 247 00:15:39,280 --> 00:15:43,640 Speaker 1: use of hashtag sayer name is a continuation of that erasure. UH. 248 00:15:43,680 --> 00:15:45,600 Speaker 1: And it's important to note that as they continue to 249 00:15:45,600 --> 00:15:49,520 Speaker 1: steal from the Black community again, how they have seemingly 250 00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:51,960 Speaker 1: no understanding of what it stands for and ignoring the 251 00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:55,560 Speaker 1: implications as they continue to try to rewrite the events 252 00:15:55,640 --> 00:15:58,680 Speaker 1: that occurred right. Um. And again we're not going to 253 00:15:58,720 --> 00:16:02,680 Speaker 1: say too much, but yes, the impeagement process has come forward. UH, 254 00:16:02,720 --> 00:16:05,960 Speaker 1: some of the documents written by Representative Omar as well 255 00:16:06,040 --> 00:16:09,240 Speaker 1: as UH Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi coming forward 256 00:16:09,280 --> 00:16:13,480 Speaker 1: with stating that they are proceeding with impeachment process against 257 00:16:13,520 --> 00:16:16,800 Speaker 1: Donald Trump, including the fact that they did put in 258 00:16:16,840 --> 00:16:20,880 Speaker 1: their charges of inciting riot in the insurrections. So it's 259 00:16:20,880 --> 00:16:23,680 Speaker 1: going to be interesting to see as majority of the 260 00:16:23,680 --> 00:16:27,040 Speaker 1: people who are speaking for impeachment seem to be women. UH. 261 00:16:27,200 --> 00:16:29,640 Speaker 1: Female politicians rather than men. A lot of the men 262 00:16:29,680 --> 00:16:34,240 Speaker 1: are asking for calm and unity kind of obviously forgetting 263 00:16:34,240 --> 00:16:39,640 Speaker 1: how it started and the implications that unity wouldn't mean 264 00:16:39,640 --> 00:16:43,040 Speaker 1: that there's something to be on common ground with. And 265 00:16:43,200 --> 00:16:46,520 Speaker 1: storming the capital with a plot of kidnapping and hanging 266 00:16:46,560 --> 00:16:50,240 Speaker 1: people not a common ground. Just just put that up there. 267 00:16:52,280 --> 00:16:55,680 Speaker 1: But again we're moving on, uh, And we wanted to 268 00:16:55,720 --> 00:16:59,360 Speaker 1: talk a little bit about the UK tampon taxt and 269 00:16:59,400 --> 00:17:01,760 Speaker 1: at the beginning of this year, UK became the most 270 00:17:01,800 --> 00:17:05,199 Speaker 1: recent country to abolish the tampon tax, often called the 271 00:17:05,280 --> 00:17:09,320 Speaker 1: sexist tax, which makes sense or sells tax on period 272 00:17:09,359 --> 00:17:12,040 Speaker 1: and minstrel products. This has actually been in the works 273 00:17:12,040 --> 00:17:14,479 Speaker 1: and a part of the budget says last March, and 274 00:17:14,560 --> 00:17:18,040 Speaker 1: it was extremely unpopular, but it couldn't go into effect 275 00:17:18,119 --> 00:17:20,879 Speaker 1: until the UK broke from the EU. That's because according 276 00:17:20,880 --> 00:17:24,360 Speaker 1: to the EU, minstrell products are classified as a luxury product. 277 00:17:24,480 --> 00:17:27,520 Speaker 1: Oh that's so lovely, and according to the EU law, 278 00:17:27,720 --> 00:17:31,760 Speaker 1: luxury products must be taxed at least five percent. I've 279 00:17:31,840 --> 00:17:35,720 Speaker 1: never thought of my period as a luxury have you? No? No, 280 00:17:36,840 --> 00:17:42,359 Speaker 1: just no, but you know, I can see for some 281 00:17:42,680 --> 00:17:47,480 Speaker 1: but I don't know what, Okay, then I just know 282 00:17:47,640 --> 00:17:52,160 Speaker 1: people get really picky about period stuff. That's fair. And 283 00:17:52,240 --> 00:17:57,919 Speaker 1: just to be clear, the the tampon tax was really unpopular, 284 00:17:58,000 --> 00:18:01,480 Speaker 1: not the trying to repeal of the Tampa tex Um. 285 00:18:01,520 --> 00:18:04,240 Speaker 1: The chief executive of the Fawcett Society, one of the 286 00:18:04,320 --> 00:18:07,960 Speaker 1: UK's oldest charities pushing for gender rights and equality, Felicia 287 00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:10,560 Speaker 1: Willow commented, quote, It's been a long road to reach 288 00:18:10,600 --> 00:18:12,760 Speaker 1: this point, but at last the sexist tax law that 289 00:18:12,800 --> 00:18:15,919 Speaker 1: saw sanitary products classes non essential luxury items can be 290 00:18:15,920 --> 00:18:19,240 Speaker 1: consigned to the history books. And of note, here in 291 00:18:19,280 --> 00:18:22,320 Speaker 1: the US, the conversation is not always so simple. Some 292 00:18:22,400 --> 00:18:24,760 Speaker 1: of the texas on mintoral products go to helping lower 293 00:18:24,800 --> 00:18:27,600 Speaker 1: class people who can't afford these items, so that is 294 00:18:27,640 --> 00:18:33,000 Speaker 1: something to think on. Yes, yes, um, And now we 295 00:18:33,119 --> 00:18:37,480 Speaker 1: wanted to talk about Kim Janey. With President elect Biden 296 00:18:37,560 --> 00:18:40,719 Speaker 1: selecting current Boston Mayor Martin J. Walsh to his cabinet, 297 00:18:40,800 --> 00:18:43,000 Speaker 1: Kim Janey is said to be the next mayor, which 298 00:18:43,040 --> 00:18:45,280 Speaker 1: would make Kim Janie the first black person to become 299 00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:49,720 Speaker 1: mayor of Boston. She is currently the city council president, 300 00:18:49,720 --> 00:18:52,119 Speaker 1: and by city rules, the council president is who would 301 00:18:52,119 --> 00:18:54,760 Speaker 1: fill the spot of mayor until the special election that 302 00:18:54,800 --> 00:18:57,240 Speaker 1: would be held, right, and that's a pretty big significance, 303 00:18:57,320 --> 00:18:59,960 Speaker 1: especially for a town like Boston. So it'll be really 304 00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:03,920 Speaker 1: interesting to see what happens UH until the special elections 305 00:19:04,040 --> 00:19:06,560 Speaker 1: and how she has perceived and how she's received as well. 306 00:19:06,600 --> 00:19:09,200 Speaker 1: So I'm kind of interested. I'm very interested in seeing 307 00:19:09,240 --> 00:19:12,480 Speaker 1: what that does. Um. And also I wanted to speak 308 00:19:12,560 --> 00:19:15,840 Speaker 1: on Representative Maryland Strickland, and as a Korean woman, UH 309 00:19:16,200 --> 00:19:18,640 Speaker 1: have to give a special shout out to her, who 310 00:19:18,760 --> 00:19:21,840 Speaker 1: became one of the first Korean Americans to be elected 311 00:19:21,840 --> 00:19:24,560 Speaker 1: to Congress. She is now a representative of Washington State, 312 00:19:24,600 --> 00:19:26,639 Speaker 1: and not only is she one of the first Korean 313 00:19:26,680 --> 00:19:29,760 Speaker 1: women to Congress, but she's also the first black representative 314 00:19:29,880 --> 00:19:32,840 Speaker 1: for Washington. And as an homage to her heritage, she 315 00:19:32,920 --> 00:19:36,160 Speaker 1: donned her traditional Korean wear a hyndbook for her swearing 316 00:19:36,240 --> 00:19:39,560 Speaker 1: in ceremony. And I can't lie. It was so fulfilling 317 00:19:39,600 --> 00:19:41,840 Speaker 1: to see this line. It jumped at me immediately, and 318 00:19:41,880 --> 00:19:45,000 Speaker 1: I was so excited and shocked and very surprised to 319 00:19:45,040 --> 00:19:49,320 Speaker 1: see such representation in our current government. And obviously it's 320 00:19:49,320 --> 00:19:52,960 Speaker 1: the first, it's a complete first, and I'm almost a 321 00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:58,080 Speaker 1: little in disbelief that it actually happened and the fact 322 00:19:58,080 --> 00:20:00,440 Speaker 1: that it didn't get bigger headlines. And not because don't 323 00:20:00,480 --> 00:20:03,359 Speaker 1: I think she's special because she's Korean, but because she 324 00:20:03,600 --> 00:20:07,639 Speaker 1: is taking on such representation and being someone who is 325 00:20:07,960 --> 00:20:10,760 Speaker 1: iconic to that culture, and I love it and shout 326 00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:16,520 Speaker 1: out and thank you. Yes, yes, um. Well, we do 327 00:20:16,760 --> 00:20:20,479 Speaker 1: have some more updates for you, but first we have 328 00:20:20,640 --> 00:20:37,120 Speaker 1: one more quick break for word from our sponsor, and 329 00:20:37,359 --> 00:20:39,960 Speaker 1: we're back. Thank you sponsor, And we're back with a 330 00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:44,720 Speaker 1: couple of international headlines at the top here, starting with Japan. 331 00:20:45,600 --> 00:20:48,000 Speaker 1: So in an effort to boost the birth rate in Japan, 332 00:20:48,080 --> 00:20:53,560 Speaker 1: and AI has been launched to match Japan's lonely hearts 333 00:20:53,560 --> 00:20:56,199 Speaker 1: like there's these lonely heart points and they try to 334 00:20:56,320 --> 00:20:59,639 Speaker 1: match people up based on them. The government plans to 335 00:20:59,640 --> 00:21:02,440 Speaker 1: subs does any local governments that already use or plan 336 00:21:02,560 --> 00:21:04,679 Speaker 1: to use an AI to pare people up, And this 337 00:21:04,760 --> 00:21:08,440 Speaker 1: year the government is looking to put nineteen million dollars 338 00:21:08,480 --> 00:21:11,960 Speaker 1: into this effort. This is a push after the country's 339 00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:15,040 Speaker 1: the lowest birth rate record on year last year, just 340 00:21:15,440 --> 00:21:19,399 Speaker 1: eight hundred sixty five thousand babies. According to reporting by 341 00:21:19,400 --> 00:21:22,520 Speaker 1: the BBC, Japan's population is predicted to fall to fifty 342 00:21:22,560 --> 00:21:27,280 Speaker 1: three million by the centuries end from seventeen eight million. 343 00:21:27,600 --> 00:21:30,680 Speaker 1: And I have to say, one of the first things 344 00:21:30,680 --> 00:21:33,240 Speaker 1: I thought when I read that is Wow, how optimistic 345 00:21:33,280 --> 00:21:35,000 Speaker 1: they think they'll make it, will make it to the 346 00:21:35,119 --> 00:21:40,520 Speaker 1: end of the century. Wow, I'm in a dark place. UM. 347 00:21:40,960 --> 00:21:44,040 Speaker 1: Some experts believe AI matchmaking is not the way to go, 348 00:21:44,560 --> 00:21:47,320 Speaker 1: that the problem is low wages, and that improving childcare 349 00:21:47,400 --> 00:21:52,480 Speaker 1: options is a better route to pursue UM and probably 350 00:21:52,480 --> 00:21:54,800 Speaker 1: will surprise no one, but it was women saying this, 351 00:21:54,920 --> 00:21:58,200 Speaker 1: like maybe we should look into childcare and those kinds 352 00:21:58,280 --> 00:22:03,280 Speaker 1: of things. Um. And also they point to Japan's gender 353 00:22:03,280 --> 00:22:05,720 Speaker 1: equality ranking on the World Economic Forum, which is one 354 00:22:06,800 --> 00:22:11,080 Speaker 1: out of one fifty three places in twenty nineteen. UM. 355 00:22:11,119 --> 00:22:14,159 Speaker 1: And we wanted to revisit, uh, what was happening with 356 00:22:14,200 --> 00:22:17,480 Speaker 1: Brazil and Argentina. So we recently did a Monday Many 357 00:22:17,560 --> 00:22:20,119 Speaker 1: on the passing of the pro abortion law in Argentina 358 00:22:20,520 --> 00:22:23,680 Speaker 1: and wanted to mention something interesting that we recently saw. 359 00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:26,480 Speaker 1: A new trend has been occurring in Brazil since it's 360 00:22:26,480 --> 00:22:29,120 Speaker 1: still illegal to obtain abortions outside of rape, which has 361 00:22:29,119 --> 00:22:31,080 Speaker 1: been tightened by the way with this regulation on it 362 00:22:31,160 --> 00:22:35,280 Speaker 1: being mandated to be reported to police um or endangering 363 00:22:35,320 --> 00:22:37,800 Speaker 1: the life of the person pregnant. In Brazil, many people 364 00:22:37,800 --> 00:22:43,399 Speaker 1: have been traveling to Argentina to terminate their unwanted pregnancies. Previously, 365 00:22:43,440 --> 00:22:47,560 Speaker 1: many Brazilians have been placed in danger by using uh 366 00:22:47,640 --> 00:22:50,800 Speaker 1: not so healthy kind of dangerous abortion methods or even 367 00:22:50,800 --> 00:22:55,119 Speaker 1: being tricked into taking counterfeit abortion pills. Some have gone 368 00:22:55,320 --> 00:22:58,040 Speaker 1: as far as obtaining visas and flying into areas to 369 00:22:58,080 --> 00:23:02,200 Speaker 1: gain access, which is often very very costly. But now um, 370 00:23:02,280 --> 00:23:04,280 Speaker 1: they're able to have closer access with the new laws 371 00:23:04,280 --> 00:23:07,800 Speaker 1: in Argentina, right and we as we mentioned earlier, there's 372 00:23:07,960 --> 00:23:11,960 Speaker 1: no conversation that there is going to be any lessoning 373 00:23:12,200 --> 00:23:18,320 Speaker 1: of that abortion. Those abortion laws so absolutely sad, but 374 00:23:18,400 --> 00:23:21,960 Speaker 1: at least uh, I guess encouraging to see that they 375 00:23:22,040 --> 00:23:25,920 Speaker 1: do have easier access than what is happening in Brazil. 376 00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:28,239 Speaker 1: But yeah, it's something to keep watch on because they 377 00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:32,239 Speaker 1: do talk a lot about, um, how Argentinean law has 378 00:23:32,280 --> 00:23:38,320 Speaker 1: affected countries around them. Yeah. Um, and I'm sorry, guys, 379 00:23:38,320 --> 00:23:41,600 Speaker 1: we're gonna talk about COVID and again, UM, we're just 380 00:23:41,640 --> 00:23:45,439 Speaker 1: gonna mention very briefly, Uh, what's going on and about 381 00:23:45,440 --> 00:23:48,880 Speaker 1: how the job lost during COVID has, as we've talked 382 00:23:48,880 --> 00:23:52,240 Speaker 1: about previously mainly affected women, and now we have some 383 00:23:52,359 --> 00:23:54,640 Speaker 1: numbers and according to reports, there has been a total 384 00:23:54,720 --> 00:23:57,920 Speaker 1: net loss of a hundred forty thousand jobs in December alone. 385 00:23:58,160 --> 00:24:01,000 Speaker 1: As an in fact, women account for one hundred and 386 00:24:01,040 --> 00:24:04,800 Speaker 1: eleven percent of the loss. Yes, one hundred and eleven percent, 387 00:24:04,880 --> 00:24:08,320 Speaker 1: because the original number of job loss was one fifty 388 00:24:08,320 --> 00:24:11,800 Speaker 1: six thousand, but sixteen thousand jobs were gained, and yes, 389 00:24:12,320 --> 00:24:15,199 Speaker 1: men were the ones to gain all of them. But 390 00:24:15,480 --> 00:24:18,680 Speaker 1: those who felt the damage were mainly Black and Latina women, 391 00:24:18,800 --> 00:24:22,520 Speaker 1: especially those in the service industry. As the pandemic continues 392 00:24:22,640 --> 00:24:25,040 Speaker 1: to red john and the fact that last month had 393 00:24:25,040 --> 00:24:27,800 Speaker 1: an upswing in the number of cases as well as deaths, 394 00:24:28,200 --> 00:24:31,280 Speaker 1: UH service sector industries were hit the hardest and reminder, 395 00:24:31,320 --> 00:24:34,040 Speaker 1: many are still calling a lot of these services as essential, 396 00:24:34,480 --> 00:24:39,320 Speaker 1: but these are typically the lowest paid um Since February, 397 00:24:39,320 --> 00:24:41,960 Speaker 1: women have lost a net of five point four million jobs, 398 00:24:41,960 --> 00:24:45,320 Speaker 1: which make up for fifty of the job loss. In December, 399 00:24:45,400 --> 00:24:48,359 Speaker 1: the overall US unemployment rate was six point seven percent, 400 00:24:48,480 --> 00:24:51,439 Speaker 1: but for the women of the Black and Latina communities, 401 00:24:51,680 --> 00:24:54,960 Speaker 1: the unemployment rates were eight point four percent and nine 402 00:24:55,000 --> 00:24:59,160 Speaker 1: point one percent, which is a significantly larger percentage. And 403 00:24:59,520 --> 00:25:03,040 Speaker 1: by the way, for white men, the percentage was five right. 404 00:25:03,280 --> 00:25:05,920 Speaker 1: Um And much like the counterpart of white men, white 405 00:25:05,920 --> 00:25:09,400 Speaker 1: women made significant gains in the job market. According to CNN, 406 00:25:09,920 --> 00:25:11,680 Speaker 1: some of the reasons for the job loss for black 407 00:25:11,720 --> 00:25:14,880 Speaker 1: and Latino women is due to the disproportionate flexibility within 408 00:25:14,960 --> 00:25:17,479 Speaker 1: some of these jobs sectors. The lack of paid sickly, 409 00:25:17,960 --> 00:25:20,800 Speaker 1: loss of childcare, and the inability of working from home 410 00:25:21,040 --> 00:25:28,320 Speaker 1: have been huge to turns in job security. Yes, um, 411 00:25:28,359 --> 00:25:32,560 Speaker 1: and now just a couple of random notes to wrap 412 00:25:32,600 --> 00:25:34,399 Speaker 1: it up. I didn't know exactly where to put it 413 00:25:34,440 --> 00:25:37,640 Speaker 1: out there, but it felt like significant enough to talk about. Yes, 414 00:25:37,800 --> 00:25:40,960 Speaker 1: So starting with Lisa Montgomery, the first woman to face 415 00:25:41,040 --> 00:25:44,440 Speaker 1: execution in seven decades UM. She was granted a stay 416 00:25:44,480 --> 00:25:49,000 Speaker 1: of execution on Monday, January eleven, pending a competency evaluation. 417 00:25:49,720 --> 00:25:52,280 Speaker 1: Montgomery was charged for the murder of Bobby Joe Stinnett 418 00:25:52,600 --> 00:25:55,119 Speaker 1: and cutting out of a fetus and kidnapping, and was 419 00:25:55,160 --> 00:25:57,000 Speaker 1: sentenced to death in two thousand eight in the state 420 00:25:57,080 --> 00:26:00,160 Speaker 1: of Missouri. Right, and they should be noted that her 421 00:26:00,560 --> 00:26:03,320 Speaker 1: date of execution was actually supposed to be today by 422 00:26:03,400 --> 00:26:08,680 Speaker 1: lethal injections so January twelve UM. However, through numerous reports 423 00:26:08,680 --> 00:26:10,800 Speaker 1: and interviews, many have been concerned with her lack of 424 00:26:10,920 --> 00:26:14,680 Speaker 1: understanding and extensive mental health knees after years of continual 425 00:26:14,760 --> 00:26:18,119 Speaker 1: sexual and physical abuse and torture. She was diagnosed with 426 00:26:18,240 --> 00:26:21,040 Speaker 1: fetal alcohol syndrome at a young age but was never treated, 427 00:26:21,200 --> 00:26:24,760 Speaker 1: and therefore there's a lot of questions about mental health 428 00:26:24,920 --> 00:26:27,800 Speaker 1: and our responsibility as a community when it comes to 429 00:26:28,720 --> 00:26:33,160 Speaker 1: things such as capital punishment and the death penalty. So 430 00:26:33,200 --> 00:26:34,959 Speaker 1: this is definitely going to be something that we need 431 00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:38,360 Speaker 1: to keep a watch on, especially after last year and 432 00:26:38,640 --> 00:26:45,359 Speaker 1: our current administrations extreme push to actually go through with 433 00:26:45,400 --> 00:26:47,679 Speaker 1: the death penalty and all of the executions that had 434 00:26:47,720 --> 00:26:55,640 Speaker 1: happened right um, but hard pivot from that. Shout out 435 00:26:55,680 --> 00:26:57,920 Speaker 1: to the women of the United States Air Force Test 436 00:26:57,920 --> 00:27:01,360 Speaker 1: Pilot School, the TPS at Edwards Air Fource Base in California, 437 00:27:01,640 --> 00:27:04,879 Speaker 1: who have become the largest graduating class of women test 438 00:27:04,880 --> 00:27:07,640 Speaker 1: pilots with the record number of five women A Captain's 439 00:27:07,680 --> 00:27:12,600 Speaker 1: Casey Horgan, Rachel Williams, Sarah Voorgert, Klin Tongue, and civilian 440 00:27:12,720 --> 00:27:16,320 Speaker 1: Reina Duncan have set the record as they graduated with 441 00:27:16,320 --> 00:27:19,960 Speaker 1: the class of and speaking of pilots, for the first 442 00:27:19,960 --> 00:27:22,600 Speaker 1: time in history, the Navy has its first black female pilot, 443 00:27:22,640 --> 00:27:26,320 Speaker 1: Lieutenant j G.
