Wow. That was cringe. The men on the set went silent because she turned a fun conversation into a play for attention. She threw a typical progressive woke wet towel on a conversation- and everyone in the comments will cheer like she did something stunning and brave. There's a time and a place for these conversations... Yes-Bad men hurt women. This is true. But good men defend women every day. And there are way more good men than bad men. Stop acting like this isn't the case. SMH
To be honest, statistically men are way more likely to be violently attacked on the street…by other men, we’re still the bloody problem 😉 Subjectively in my social group it’s 9 of my male friends who’ve experienced violence on the street to 1 of my female friends or relatives. That is NOT to take away what she said. She is absolutely spot on. And as men we need to fiercely stand shoulder to shoulder with our Sisters and be allies. ALWAYS. And on reflection she’s probably taking about sexual violence maybe? We all need to call this bullshit out of any human being violent towards another human. It’s disgusting!
Weeeell, I understand that YOUR friends might have that experience but the stats of the rest of the world would disagree. That’s why this was so poignant on the lack of awareness that men have of male privilege. When you grow up with a sister close in age it helps you with perspective, and when you have a long term relationship it does as well as 1 in 4 women have experienced some sort of male violence, from a known person or stranger. Anything from what hour you run and where, to not smiling too much to strangers on the street…our hyper awareness has had to be on another level since being old enough to leave the house alone.
@@jgp1294 Ahhh sorry…I think maybe I wasn’t very articulate. No, I completely agree in terms of DV to women is way higher. But it’s hugely more so from someone they know. I think what I was trying to say is that the guys here seemed to be talking about aggressive men looking for a fight when they might have had too much to drink..they’re going to target another man usually. I so hear what you’re saying..and that’s why I’m kicking myself a bit for not explaining what I meant. I have sisters close to my age. And I am a passionate feminist and I work professionally with victims of domestic violence. What I was trying to say is that the statistics do show that a random attack of a man going up to another person in the street, is usually a man trying to be a macho man and being aggressive to another man. And it’s usually with alcohol, in public and being a Neanderthal. So random violent attacks from a stranger are disproportionately higher towards other men..by men. I know very well my male privilege. I’m sorry if I offended you. Genuinely not intended.
I also think that, yes street violence by strangers is more common against men, whereas women are being assaulted by people they know. Not just people they know, but the men closest to them. The home is the least sage place for a woman. Of course we avoid the public way more than men and lock up ourselves at home, if women tended to walk freely as much as men do we'd have even more attacks against women. But even at home we aren't safe.
Yeah this isn’t some amazing ‘moment’. There’s nothing even remotely significant in this clip and whoever posted this/reacts dramatically to this is dragging the FUCK out of nothing hahaha
hmm ya it really brings down the lighthearted interview but i think it’s in the deeper message: women are always meant to defend themselves and only women are aware of that. No one else on stage realized that that kind of advice (using your phone for self-defence) wasn’t a joke for her and to other women.
@@linateacup but she could have said it differently, she shut down the joke and made it awkward, that's why the guys stopped talking and looked at each other gesturing, men are just as aware of their surroundings, it is a myth that guys don't care about the risks, they weren't talking about that at all
They weren’t making a Joke about women’s safety was making joke about using your phone to protect your self. I like her but injecting her self into this by trying to be woke was vibe killer and not needed. Not sure why people are celebrating this
