00:00:00
so America is approaching its most
00:00:01
conservative era in recent history
00:00:03
following Trump's Landslide Victory
00:00:05
suspicious Landslide Victory against
00:00:07
commala Harris suspicious until you look
00:00:10
at the data then this otherwise elusive
00:00:12
election becomes abundantly clear Trump
00:00:14
won and he did so overwhelmingly with
00:00:16
the male vote the majority of men across
00:00:18
every age demographic voted for Trump
00:00:20
60% of white men 55% of Latinos and 21%
00:00:23
of black men and while that number
00:00:25
represents a significantly smaller share
00:00:27
of the Trump male vote it is important
00:00:29
to note that that number has been
00:00:30
steadily growing every election year
00:00:32
since the era of trumpism yep that's
00:00:35
right your dad your uncle your man and
00:00:37
that man that's not really your man
00:00:38
that's that other lady's man that you be
00:00:39
sleeping with they're all Europe up so
00:00:41
instead of being damsels in distress and
00:00:43
waiting for a man to come and save them
00:00:44
the sisters are doing it for themselves
00:00:47
taking to the internet streets in large
00:00:49
numbers to say that actually we're going
00:00:51
on strike we're participating in the 4B
00:00:54
movement you guys feel spicy cuz I do no
00:00:56
matter how loud how kind respectful how
00:00:59
cute men will still hate you women are
00:01:02
talking about bringing that 4B movement
00:01:03
right here to the United States the
00:01:05
operation 4B refuse to date men get
00:01:08
married have sex with them or children
00:01:10
the resistance has begun honey no
00:01:13
contact with men thank you but the
00:01:14
question becomes will this withdrawal of
00:01:18
be enough to move men into
00:01:20
Progressive action can millions of women
00:01:23
actually be mobilized into ax strike in
00:01:26
an era of sexual Liberation and
00:01:28
heightened sensuality and most
00:01:30
importantly because this isn't the first
00:01:31
time that women have gone on a strike if
00:01:33
the movement were to be successful how
00:01:34
do we ensure that women don't forgo
00:01:37
their sexual freedom in an effort to
00:01:39
protect their freedom to be sexual let's
00:01:42
talk about
00:01:46
it hey home girl homeboy and homies
00:01:50
welcome and welcome back to my quarter
00:01:52
of the internet a quarter where pop
00:01:53
culture Mees critical thought and medium
00:01:55
ghetto Antics if this is your first time
00:01:56
ever seeing my face my name is Herby
00:01:58
Herby ralis and if this isn't your first
00:01:59
first time ever seeing my face then you

00:02:04
shout out to my real home girls home
00:02:05
boys and homies watching at home yes
00:02:08
that's right we are in the HBCU study
00:02:12
hall so much drama but yes her's black
00:02:15
college and university study hall this
00:02:18
is a series on my channel for in-depth
00:02:20
researched video essays on a myriad of
00:02:22
sociological phenomena you can think of
00:02:24
this as like the study hul for your fave
00:02:26
but also fun sociology course I'm not
00:02:29
the professor We're All in This Together
00:02:32
yes that is in the Book of Proverbs okay
00:02:35
you better go to Bible study the
00:02:36
intention of this space is to intersect
00:02:38
pop culture with politics and today
00:02:40
we're going to be exploring the limits
00:02:43
and challenges of a sex strike in
00:02:45
today's social climate and the
00:02:47
sociological landscape that created the
00:02:50
necessity for such a protest I.E The
00:02:53
Straits are not okay okay women are
00:02:55
going in this direction and men are
00:02:57
going in that direction politically they
00:02:58
are diverging it's the liberal ladies
00:03:01
versus the conservative
00:03:03
Co be nice guys and actually to be
00:03:06
honest with you I am going to give men
00:03:08
in particular siset men grace to the
00:03:11
extent that the data compels me to do so
00:03:13
now because I do view this study hall as
00:03:16
a space for study and life as the
00:03:19
ultimate test I want to empower you with
00:03:21
all the resources that it took to create
00:03:23
a video essay like this in the
00:03:25
description box down below just in case
00:03:27
a tries to check you and real life
00:03:30
if you begin to parot the things that I

say and the girls say oh girl you just
00:03:33
made that up no it's based in fact honey
00:03:35

00:03:42
guessed the HBCU study hall as we're
00:03:44
moving into a climate that is
00:03:45
increasingly less inclusive of
00:03:48
marginalized folks it's important for us
00:03:50
to create spaces where people can get
00:03:52
trustworthy information and Community
00:03:54
for me writing and telling stories and
00:03:57
creating space for fact-based
00:03:58
information and sometimes Kikis is what
00:04:01
I do so if you want a more analytical
00:04:03
approach or to really dig into the
00:04:05
research yourself the link will be in

00:04:11
in the description box it's free now
00:04:12
let's talk the gag is Project 2025 has
00:04:16
been the agenda all along so before we
00:04:18
can address the alleged rise and
00:04:20
conservatism around young men across
00:04:23
racial and economic lines and the social
00:04:25
landscape that that's created and even
00:04:27
before we can seriously talk about the
00:04:28
women L resistance that has come as a
00:04:30
result of that we must begin with what
00:04:33
we know versus what we think we know
00:04:35
because this threat to women's lives is
00:04:38
about so much more than abortion rights
00:04:40
this is an intentional roll back of
00:04:43
women's rights in the space of Education
00:04:46
in the workplace and of course in the
00:04:48
space of healthcare so firstly what we
00:04:50
know Donald dump said himself and this
00:04:52
is a direct quote after 50 years of
00:04:54
failure I was able to kill roie Wade and
00:04:56
of course he could say that because
00:04:57
while roie Wade was overturned under
00:04:59
Biden Administration it was undoubtedly
00:05:01
due to the three conservative justices
00:05:03
that he was able to appoint during his
00:05:05
term making the Supreme Court a
00:05:07
conservative majority that it was even
00:05:09
able to be overturned in the first place
00:05:11
a reality that will remain because of
00:05:13
course conservative justices Alo who 74
00:05:15
and Kisha Thomas who 76 are going to
00:05:18
retire under Trump's Administration why
00:05:20
wouldn't they and be replaced by younger
00:05:22
likely more radically conservative
00:05:24
justices who will up our lives for the
00:05:27
next 40 years welcome to to America this
00:05:30
is the America y'all want it right this
00:05:32
is the America you've got but I want to
00:05:34
be clear here and say this isn't just
00:05:36
coming right this is here 41 States
00:05:39
already have abortion bands in place 13
00:05:41
of those 41 have full abortion banss and
00:05:44
28 of those 41 have abortion bans based
00:05:47
on gational duration so I'll say this
00:05:49
sister if you are in any one of these 13
00:05:51
states you better pack up your your
00:05:53
kitty and dip Christina Christina
00:05:57
Christina's gone because again abortion
00:05:59
is only the beginning of Trump's plan to
00:06:01
fully Implement project 2025 on day one
00:06:06
with that being said now on to what we
00:06:08
really don't know despite Trump over and
00:06:10
over again trying to distance himself
00:06:12
from Project 2025 for now because the
00:06:15
spirit is telling me and I'm listening
00:06:17
is telling me girl he's going to be
00:06:18
emboldened duh but again despite him
00:06:21
consistently trying to distance himself
00:06:22
from Project 2025 GOP supporters and his
00:06:25
own employees his own projected
00:06:28
employees have other things to say just
00:06:31
hours after the election results Matt
00:06:32
Walsh a popular right-wing commentator
00:06:34
on X said now that the election is over
00:06:36
I think we can Finly say that yeah
00:06:39
project 2025 is the agenda
00:06:43
LOL
00:06:45
LOL and I'm sitting reading that like
00:06:48
come to find
00:06:51
out everybody here I hate Steve Miller
00:06:55
whose organization America First was
00:06:56
listed on The Advisory board for project
00:06:58
2025 was just announced that he would be
00:07:00
the chief of staff for policy for Trump
00:07:04
for policy but Trump trump Trump's
00:07:07
policies have nothing to do with project
00:07:09
2025 everybody here I hate Trump also
00:07:12
named Tom homman a contributor to
00:07:13
project 2025 his borders are and a CNN
00:07:16
review found that at least 140 people
00:07:19
who worked in Trump's administration had
00:07:21
a hand in Project 2025 so the question
00:07:24
becomes and it's very clear if you ask
00:07:26
me who are you going to believe Trump or
00:07:30
your own eyes and when I say that Trump
00:07:32
doesn't want to stop at abortion it's
00:07:34
because project 2025 does not sister
00:07:36
he's coming for your
00:07:39
check do you hear how dry that sounds
00:07:41
yeah that's how dry your pockets are
00:07:42
going to be because pj2 wants to remove
00:07:45
equality on the basis of sex in the
00:07:47
workplace by weakening title 7 of the
00:07:49
Civil Rights Act immediately if you're
00:07:52
not familiar title 7 prohibits sex
00:07:54
discrimination in the workplace but wait
00:07:56
how will that work if they just remove
00:07:58
title 7 people are going to push back
00:08:00
right I'm just confused oh I love a
00:08:02
fellow student who's paying attention
00:08:04
and asks good questions come to the
00:08:06
front I have a sticker for you where's
00:08:08
my stickers okay just come to the front
00:08:11
and take an emotional sticker love that
00:08:13
for
00:08:14
you well first he's going to start by
00:08:16
narrowing the meaning of sex in title 7
00:08:18
to the biological binary meaning of sex
00:08:21
and I know there are some CIS women real
00:08:24
women in the comments and not real you
00:08:25
know you real real n you're real okay
00:08:29
there are some real women in the
00:08:31
comments who are going to say oh girl
00:08:32
thank you because that doesn't affect me
00:08:34
that doesn't affect me I'm a real woman
00:08:36
Natural Born I came out of my mom a
00:08:38
woman so he just need to get them
00:08:40
traines together because girl they
00:08:41
taking up our space well well no so this
00:08:44
is going to directly impact you how do I
00:08:47
know that the very reason why sex or the
00:08:50
definition of sex was expanded was
00:08:52
because of a sis hat Natural Born real
00:08:55
white woman by the name of by the name
00:08:57
of Anne Hopkins Anne Hopkins a
00:08:59
relatively well-off white woman was
00:09:01
discriminated in her workplace for not
00:09:03
being feminine enough not being woman
00:09:06
enough right and so as a result of her
00:09:09
lawsuit they've had to expand what sex
00:09:12
or the protections the scope of
00:09:14
protections that are covered under title
00:09:16
7 and expand that definition of sex in
00:09:19
order to do that right in order to
00:09:22
expand those protection if you're
00:09:23
unfamiliar there was a Supreme Court
00:09:25
case price Waterhouse versus Hopkins in
00:09:27
which she sued her employer for being
00:09:29
denied partner because she quote should
00:09:32
walk more femininely talk more
00:09:34
femininely dress more femininely wear
00:09:36
makeup have her hair styled and wear
00:09:39
jewelry at the Supreme Court today the
00:09:41
issue was sex discrimination and what to
00:09:43
do when a woman claims that she wasn't
00:09:46
being judged by the same standards by
00:09:48
which men are judged a Natural Born High
00:09:51
earning white woman's femininity was
00:09:53
called into question not 35 years ago
00:09:56
and you think they're not coming for you
00:09:57
sister they are and this is not me even
00:10:00
I don't say that with any real Delight
00:10:02
right that's just my charismatic
00:10:03
delivery I'm actually disgusted by that
00:10:05
I just want to underscore that my
00:10:07
grandmother has heels older than your
00:10:10
right to wear sneakers in the workplace
00:10:12
and honestly of course like I always say
00:10:14
my grace extends and not even my grace I
00:10:16
just feel like it makes sense that a lot
00:10:18
of us wouldn't know this Civics is not
00:10:19
taught in school and honestly the
00:10:22
conservative government would have it so
00:10:23
you don't know this they would have it
00:10:25
so you're ignorant to these facts they
00:10:27
would have it so that you're dare I say
00:10:29
dumb to all of this because they're also
00:10:31
coming for your education rights of
00:10:33
course many of us heard them say that
00:10:34
they want to get rid of the Department
00:10:36
of Education but what I don't think many
00:10:38
of us also process is that the
00:10:40
Department of Education enforces Title 9
00:10:42
Title 9 prohibits discrimination on the
00:10:45
basis of sex in education I mean other
00:10:48
things as well right it's not exclusive
00:10:49
to sex but the purview of this video is
00:10:51
directed at women F and folks of that
00:10:53
particular experience without Title 9 it
00:10:55
becomes that much easier to discriminate
00:10:57
against women and gender noncon ing
00:10:59
folks of course they intend to do this
00:11:01
by narrowing the definition of sex in
00:11:03
Title 9 to biological sex recognized at
00:11:06
Birth and if we've learned anything from
00:11:09
our mother white an Hopkins Natural Born
00:11:13
That is not exclusive to trance that's t
00:11:17
r a n c e trance it's not exclusive to
00:11:20
the trance girls and boys that means any
00:11:23
woman or girl they deem unfeminine
00:11:26
enough which if we're going to be real
00:11:27
about the historical fact of who has
00:11:30
been deemed unfeminine throughout the
00:11:31
history of this country that's going to
00:11:33
be black and brown women that's going to
00:11:34
be fat women that's going to be
00:11:36
conventionally unattractive women that's
00:11:37
going to be any strong woman who
00:11:39
challenges the hierarchical patriarchal
00:11:42
power structure in a way that the boss
00:11:44
the man and charge doesn't like that's
00:11:46
not soft that's not demure that's not
00:11:49
woman likee and I do want to say this if
00:11:51
these women are losing rights to
00:11:53
education in the workplace that affects
00:11:56
career folks as well it must be
00:11:57
underscored and it kind of be overstated
00:12:00
so bottoms listen
00:12:02
up bottom as our sisters are protesting
00:12:06
by packing up the I'm going to need you
00:12:08
to boycott that bchi cat boycott that
00:12:10
BCI cat because the trade not only voted
00:12:12
against your right to marry but also to
00:12:14
love and to whoever you'd like I'm 26
00:12:17
years old and the right the federal
00:12:19
right of men to be able to engage an
00:12:22
intimate acts with other men and just
00:12:25
use their bodies how they'd like is
00:12:26
younger than me Lawrence vs Texas was
00:12:28
the ided in 2003 which was the case that
00:12:30
made it legal for men to engage in sex
00:12:33
with one another that made it legal for
00:12:35
us to have uninhibited control over our
00:12:37
bodies sound familiar it should because
00:12:40
the Supreme Court just overturned 50
00:12:42
years of precedent with roie Wade and
00:12:44
what was their excuse they said roie
00:12:46
Wade wasn't deeply rooted in this
00:12:48
nation's history and traditions in fact
00:12:50
on the contrary they said that it was
00:12:52
more in line with American tradition to
00:12:54
prohibit abortion on the pain of
00:12:56
criminal punishment translation those
00:12:59
said Uno reverse we're going back
00:13:01
whether you like it or not but we're not
00:13:02
going back news bash I think we are I
00:13:06
just want to say this if you think that
00:13:08
they're not coming for your right to
00:13:10
control your gay body sister they
00:13:12
certainly are and this is why I say the
00:13:14
things that I say to myself all the time
00:13:16
right it makes no sense it is literally
00:13:19
illogical for you to be queer and a
00:13:21
misogynist for you to be a woman and
00:13:24
homophobic the policies that uphold your
00:13:26
rights to education your rights in the
00:13:28
workplace your right to your very own
00:13:31
body are inextricably linked to mine as
00:13:33
a queer person there is no world in
00:13:35
which they say eat the gays and they
00:13:37
don't also eat the women Wait no that's
00:13:41
not what not in that kind of way sister
00:13:42
don't get excited stop eating crab legs
00:13:45
how would you feel if somebody cracked
00:13:46
your legs open and ate your insides I
00:13:49
feel
00:13:50
good the sisters are doing it for
00:13:52
themselves the girls and the gays versus
00:13:56
everybody else so the 4B movement is the
00:13:58
Talk of the Town right now and I'm sure
00:13:59
there will be many more movements led by
00:14:01
women career folks and other
00:14:02
marginalized groups who will be
00:14:04
disproportionately impacted by trumpism
00:14:06
but what really is the 4B movement and
00:14:09
will it work well um I believe I studed
00:14:11
this earlier but the 4B movement
00:14:12
originated in Korea and it stands for
00:14:15
non-marriage non- procreation non-
00:14:17
relation and non sex right so it was
00:14:19
meant to serve in direct opposition to
00:14:21
South Korea's patriarchal State and to
00:14:23
combat pronatalist policies which is
00:14:25
essentially the idea that the government
00:14:27
can treat women's bodies as reproductive
00:14:29
tools and of course with the looming
00:14:31
threat of organized and state sanctioned
00:14:34
bodily violence against women American
00:14:36
women have stood together and said girl
00:14:38
we want to adopt that Movement we want
00:14:40
to adopt that practice and
00:14:43
unsurprisingly it's been met with a lot
00:14:44
of opposition in particular by sis head
00:14:48
men yeah because they hate women so
00:14:50
that's an oversimplification it's an
00:14:52
oversimplification we're going to get to
00:14:54
the men in just a moment again I
00:14:55
appreciate when we can talk as students
00:14:58
to one another and get into the thing so
00:15:00
come get an imaginary sticker okay I'll
00:15:02
have one next time we meet up that's for
00:15:05
you listen this could absolutely work
00:15:09
right sex strikes have happened for a
00:15:11
long time throughout our history and not
00:15:13
just American history but across the
00:15:15
globe immediately I think of um Lima
00:15:18
gabo of Liberia she ran I took a course
00:15:21
on this in college um African women
00:15:23
studies hold on let me Google the name
00:15:25
of the movement because it's escaping me
00:15:27
ah the women of Liberia mass action for
00:15:29
peace right so that movement certainly
00:15:31
included a sex strike along with
00:15:33
nonviolent in-person protests but a sex
00:15:35
strike was integral to their movement
00:15:37
they wanted to end the Civil War in
00:15:39
Liberia and they were successful in
00:15:40
doing so but not without immense
00:15:42
sacrifice right the women were already
00:15:44
at high risk for sa and joining the
00:15:46
resistance just put a bigger Target on
00:15:48
their back but the women United and
00:15:50
fought in person and stuck to their guns
00:15:53
regardless this is where I get a little
00:15:56
not worried but I'm a I raise question
00:15:59
around whether or not American women
00:16:01
will be able to do a similar thing
00:16:03
whether they can adopt a very similar
00:16:05
kind of resistant strategy because we as
00:16:08
a developed Nation have been coddled by
00:16:10
convenience culture and whenever we feel
00:16:13
inconvenienced our response is
00:16:15
slacktivism it's black squares over real
00:16:18
black liberation I.E the black lives
00:16:20
matter movement of 2020 we can think to
00:16:22
the watermelon protests online that were
00:16:24
anti you know g-side and folks may say
00:16:28
that they were success uccessful and
00:16:30
reducing the profits of certain
00:16:32
businesses by boycotting those
00:16:33
businesses but as soon as the election
00:16:35
went away that you know folks didn't
00:16:37
want the girls were like girl I'm going
00:16:38
to Starbucks I'm good I'm going to get
00:16:40
my coffee okay and in some ways I
00:16:43
understand black folks and black folks
00:16:44
only who showed up in disproportionate
00:16:47
numbers to save democracy unlike any
00:16:49
other voting Block in this country to
00:16:51
feel like hey our lives are always on
00:16:53
the line and we showed up in you know
00:16:56
record numbers 92% of black women 77% of
00:16:58
black men voted for KLA Harris and so we
00:17:02
showed up we did our part every other
00:17:04
voting block it doesn't seem like you
00:17:05
showed up and did your part unless
00:17:06
you're lgbtq right 86% of lgbtq folks
00:17:10
showed up and voted for Kamala so shout
00:17:11
out to y'all love the gates the gates
00:17:14
get it the gays always get a golden star
00:17:17
from me come get your stick or thank you
00:17:19
but we do have to have a serious
00:17:20
conversation about sustaining these
00:17:22
online movements Beyond slacktivist
00:17:24
solidarity and developing tools for that
00:17:26
right developing tools that can address
00:17:29
apathetic concerns that happen in any
00:17:31
movement that needs to continue to fight
00:17:34
a regime of in this case a potentially
00:17:37
fascist regime and you know what's funny
00:17:38
when I first saw the video going viral I
00:17:41
believe it was Jada M's video who was
00:17:42
going viral about the 4B movement I
00:17:44
thought to myself are American women
00:17:47
United on what is a women's issue uh
00:17:50
because kamla ran a very Pro woman or
00:17:53
woman targeted campaign for sure to
00:17:56
encourage women to get out and vote for
00:17:57
their reproductive freedom and while I
00:18:00
do think it should have been focused
00:18:01
more on women's freedom in general as
00:18:04
opposed to isolating the you know
00:18:06
reproductive Freedom issue even though
00:18:07
we know that abortion is a Hot Topic so
00:18:09
I can kind of understand but I wish we
00:18:11
really address what was really at stake
00:18:12
the girls were worried about their coin
00:18:14
no but they're coming for your ability
00:18:15
to work for real in the workplace
00:18:17
without protections against sexism so
00:18:20
were you really concerned but
00:18:21
nonetheless I do think that her message
00:18:22
to American women was direct and Sate
00:18:25
because it had to be in order for her to
00:18:26
win she needed a record number of women
00:18:29
in PC voter turnout period full stop and
00:18:31
unfortunately 53% of white women chose
00:18:34
not to show up they actually chose to
00:18:36
vote in the opposite direction 38% of
00:18:37
Latinas said girl not today sister not
00:18:40
today we're voting for Trump and though
00:18:42
that may seem like a relatively low
00:18:43
number I do think it's important to note
00:18:45
that relative to Biden and Hillary
00:18:47
Harris got significantly less of the
00:18:50
Latina vote this is also evidence of one
00:18:52
of my biggest gripes with the rights
00:18:55
perversion of identity politics which is
00:18:57
like oh Dei hires are only trying to
00:18:59
trying to get people on the basis of
00:19:01
their identity but being a woman of
00:19:03
color didn't allow her to win this woman
00:19:05
of color group right it didn't give her
00:19:07
an unfair Advantage even when running
00:19:10
against a man who said that he's going
00:19:11
to deport your abelas and your Theos
00:19:14
they're out of here the girl still said
00:19:16
well the price of eggs were cheaper
00:19:18
under Trump now black women I have
00:19:20
nothing to say to you but keep doing you
00:19:21
sister you did what you always doing you
00:19:23
showed up for democracy everybody gets a
00:19:25
sticker don't even come up it's right
00:19:27
under your desk it's under your desk yes
00:19:29
CU under of your Des yes of course I
00:19:31
consider you I'll live for you but
00:19:33
let's be clear women prioritize issues
00:19:36
that are not connected to their gender
00:19:38
clearly they prioritize family despite
00:19:39
the fact that pj2 wants to undo Fair
00:19:43
access to education for their daughters
00:19:45
they prioritize economics despite the
00:19:47
fact that Trump wants to make it
00:19:49
difficult for women to navigate the
00:19:50
workspace but you know what I will say
00:19:52
in particular white women and this is
00:19:53
just to my mind feel like they are
00:19:55
exempt from every rule this is not going
00:19:58
to affect me in a very serious way at
00:20:00
least not in the way that it's going to
00:20:01
affect these other people so why not
00:20:03
their voting trends tell us that they
00:20:04
feel this way every election or
00:20:07
that they just prioritize patriarchy
00:20:09
over their own real autonomy they are
00:20:11
deeply invested in the way that this
00:20:13
hierarchical structure benefits and
00:20:16
oppresses them without real
00:20:18
consideration for the fact that it is
00:20:20
going to regress so many other women of
00:20:23
color uh you know poor and middle class
00:20:25
women it's giving regression sister get
00:20:27
your suffer shoes out
00:20:29
cuz we'll be marching and you know and
00:20:31
and to be fair we've got to be honest
00:20:33
and say that it's not just white women
00:20:34
who have bought into patriarchy right a
00:20:36
lot of different women have bought into
00:20:38
this idea of like traditionalism many
00:20:41
women won't subscribe to the 4B movement
00:20:43
for the same reason that they won't vote
00:20:44
for a woman this is why when we're
00:20:45
exploring options for resistance and I
00:20:47
say we because I don't have to be a
00:20:48
woman to fight for your freedom clock
00:20:51
which actually brings me to my point
00:20:52
which is women need like-minded allies
00:20:55
or leftist Progressive women need
00:20:59
like-minded leftist Progressive allies
00:21:01
that's not to suggest that women cannot
00:21:03
affect change on their own or that the
00:21:04
sisters can't do it for themselves right
00:21:07
but that is to assert that there is
00:21:08
power and an intersectional approach
00:21:10
towards Freedom so in what ways can
00:21:12
queer folks 86% of whom voted for KLA
00:21:15
Harris show up for the women of America
00:21:17
and then the inverse right and vice
00:21:19
versa in what ways can black men 77% of
00:21:22
whom voted for KLA Harris show up for
00:21:24
the women of America and vice versa
00:21:26
because those of us who are oriented
00:21:28
toward as an intersectional framework or
00:21:30
an intersectional approach to Justice we
00:21:33
know we're not free until we're all free
00:21:35
and you know one last cical note before
00:21:37
I move on to the next chapter if we're
00:21:38
being honest heterosexual women want to
00:21:40
be in relationship with heterosexual men
00:21:43
they do they do they do and I respect it
00:21:46
so these Tik toks and these reals and
00:21:48
these shorts saying just go out and get
00:21:49
a vibrator and leave the men at home I
00:21:51
don't know if it's doing enough to
00:21:53
address the very real fact that there
00:21:55
are many women heterosexual women who
00:21:57
want to experience a physical kind of
00:22:00
intimacy with men and there are going to
00:22:02
be women who make exceptions for men
00:22:04
that they find to be exceptional the
00:22:06
girls who claim to be socially
00:22:07
Progressive but are secretly sprinkle
00:22:08
sprinkle girls traditionalists he come
00:22:11
around with the right kind of bag and
00:22:12
it's like well girl he trying to take me
00:22:13
to Cheesecake I don't know I got to give
00:22:15
him some you know what I'm saying and
00:22:16
even if there was a way to get 150
00:22:18
million women Plus on board with this
00:22:21
and to agree to have a disapproving
00:22:24
vision of the direction that America is
00:22:25
going in and even if the vast majority
00:22:28
of men were good men who didn't harm
00:22:30
women in their process of this strike
00:22:32
that's just going to create an
00:22:33
environment in which what has become
00:22:35
incred incredibly less accessible Right
00:22:39
comes worth more supply and demand and
00:22:41
so men are going to be doing more to get
00:22:43
that thing right in this scenario that
00:22:45
I've just created which means you know
00:22:46
there will be women many who will fold I
00:22:49
don't know those are just some of my
00:22:50
cynical thoughts what do you think let
00:22:52
me know actually comment down below what
00:22:54
are you thinking and if you don't have
00:22:55
any thoughts for real for real you don't
00:22:57
have anything extensive to right just
00:22:59
write whether you agree with what I just
00:23:00
said my cynical thought or whether
00:23:02
you're like I don't I don't agree with
00:23:03
that so right I agree or disagree in the
00:23:06
comments thank
00:23:08
you so we're here more men voted in 2024
00:23:13
for Trump than they did in 20120 and in
00:23:15
2016 so it is safe to say that Trump's
00:23:17
Victory is due to in large part the
00:23:19
straight male vote hence why we're here
00:23:21
and I've been suggesting that there's
00:23:23
been a rise in conservativism amongst
00:23:25
young men in this country but I don't
00:23:27
know if that's the best way to word that
00:23:29
much of the data that I've engaged with
00:23:31
so that's axos articles a Harvard survey
00:23:34
Gallup polls suggest certainly that
00:23:37
women have become more liberal in the
00:23:39
past 25 years so right in the as we
00:23:41
moved into the 2000s women have become
00:23:43
more liberal particularly in the past
00:23:45
well in the era of trumpism with 40% of
00:23:47
young women identifying as liberal but
00:23:50
young men's political orientation has
00:23:52
remained relatively the same with the
00:23:53
plurality of young men identifying as
00:23:56
moderate 29% identified as conservative
00:23:59
25% as liberal and 44% as moderate but
00:24:02
it is safe to say right leading if we
00:24:04
looking at those exit polls so your
00:24:05
boyfriend voted for Trump what we going
00:24:07
to do and how did we get here I'll say
00:24:10
that the Democratic party has attached
00:24:12
themselves to Progressive movements like
00:24:14
me2 and you know lgbtq Pride movements
00:24:18
and so in some ways this is this is in
00:24:20
the data men have reported feeling left
00:24:22
out or forgotten by the Democratic party
00:24:25
like their voices are being ignored and
00:24:27
we could respond with sarcasm like oh
00:24:29
how does it feel to be seen and not
00:24:31
heard but clearly if we're going to put
00:24:33
on our political pragmatism hat
00:24:35
invalidating the feelings of men is not
00:24:37
working for us it's not an effective
00:24:39
strategy because one in the words of
00:24:42
democratic strategist Jimmy carll the
00:24:43
same man who said it's the economy
00:24:45
stupid he also said that 48% of people
00:24:48
who vote are males do we mind if they
00:24:50
have some consideration now women are a
00:24:51
powerful group who can do it on their
00:24:53
own in my view America's greatest
00:24:55
superhero has been a woman a black woman
00:24:57
Harriet up to freedom but this is where
00:25:01
I say again we have to listen to the
00:25:03
emotion of men in this country because
00:25:06
the women's Liberation it it must be
00:25:09
intersectional it must be if we want to
00:25:11
have affecting and Lasting change it has
00:25:14
to be one that considers class and race
00:25:16
and sexuality and a myriad of other
00:25:18
social structures that impede men from
00:25:22
being successful and achieving the
00:25:24
fullness uh of the American dream the
00:25:27
movement for Equity needs men period
00:25:29
full stop and I'm not talking about the
00:25:30
31% of Republicans who say that women's
00:25:33
gains have come at the expense of men
00:25:34
I'm not even talking to the 45% of
00:25:36
Republicans who feel like America has a
00:25:38
negative view of masculine men and
00:25:40
masculinity and that they're feel
00:25:41
they're being punished for that this
00:25:43
country is an imperialist regime that
00:25:45
has separated families and slaughtered
00:25:48
children okay and none of those Wars or
00:25:51
those horrible Acts were led by women no
00:25:54
space for femininity there America
00:25:56
empowers and emboldens masculinity and
00:25:59
Men supls some men are so lost to their
00:26:01
fantasy that they can't see fact I'm not
00:26:03
trying to talk to them but the data does
00:26:05
support that a plurality of men support
00:26:07
the feminine and feminine advancement
00:26:09
just not in this election and I think
00:26:11
there's a world in which we can have
00:26:13
complex conversations that cater to the
00:26:16
feelings of men but also respond
00:26:18
actively to the fears of women and fem
00:26:21
to quote my President we all truly do
00:26:23
have so much more in common than what
00:26:25
separates us I don't know these are just
00:26:27
my thoughts I have so much more to say
00:26:29
on the topic but I will probably
00:26:32
continue that conversation in written
00:26:33
format so I can be really direct and
00:26:35
