Hershey's Canada International Women's Day · The Slippery Slope

• 0:03
  Hi, I'm Jake Fallon. Thank you for listening to the
• 0:06
  slippery slope. So listen, I have a I have a
• 0:12
  theory, I'm absolutely positive. I'm right.
• 0:17
  But I just believe straight up that there was just not enough
• 0:21
  discipline going on in the homes of young families, these days
• 0:27
  and we see a lot of people, a lot of young ones who grown up.
• 0:30
  And they've got some very weird strange.
• 0:32
  Ideas about who they are, what they are, what they can do.
• 0:35
  The way they can behave in public.
• 0:38
  Okay. Now I'm talking about all this
• 0:40
  because of the the controversy, the controversy and the slip of
• 0:44
  the tongue, not on purpose but opposed to what I want to talk
• 0:48
  about the controversy, about the Hershey Women's Day, Women's Day
• 0:54
  campaign, her she being the chocolate.
• 0:56
  Now while I'm talking about discipline when I was young.
• 0:59
  Okay, I was disciplined. Very strictly, like, and I'm
• 1:05
  not, this isn't me. Having a whinge about how I
• 1:08
  discipline or anything, but keep in mind, I had a, you know, my
• 1:14
  mother black Islander very strict, very strict.
• 1:21
  My parents are very strict and when I, when I would get that,
• 1:25
  I'd get the belt, you know, as everyone back in the day, when I
• 1:29
  was a child, you would get the belt everyone on, you would get
• 1:32
  the belt. So when I was living at home,
• 1:34
  when I was throwing living in my, in my hometown, where I was
• 1:36
  born anyway, all my family, all the kids, you know, you didn't
• 1:39
  do what you told, you got a strap, you got physically, you
• 1:43
  you were given a belt. I remember, I used to always get
• 1:46
  the belt and it be if I did something wrong, if I was going
• 1:49
  to get the belt, I'll get the belt pursuable.
• 1:52
  So, you know, What did I say to you?
• 1:58
  J sin? The longer the words used to be
• 2:03
  counting going around in circles, trying to dodge this
• 2:05
  belt and Counting the syllables as I was getting belt, hoping
• 2:10
  that my mother wasn't going to say a really long really long
• 2:15
  compound word and that would that would mean I got more
• 2:19
  straps forward. You know you know the last thing
• 2:22
  you want to hear is a false Word, when you getting the belt
• 2:26
  and you get belted per syllable, but I'm convinced that this is
• 2:31
  the kind of discipline that we need today because maybe maybe,
• 2:38
  if some of these, some of these kids have some of these young
• 2:42
  adults and don't get me wrong, I never got built it as young
• 2:45
  adults or anything. I'm talking about when I was
• 2:47
  little you know and you disappear for the day.
• 2:51
  Go at riding be gone for hours without telling.
• 2:54
  Anyone where I was going, what I was doing just be out doing
• 2:57
  whatever the heck I want to do as you know and as opposed to
• 3:01
  what my parents had told me to do.
• 3:02
  So then you get the Bell I'm you know, anyway, I'm convinced that
• 3:07
  if more, these young adults had been, given the strap been given
• 3:11
  proper discipline. When they were younger, we
• 3:14
  wouldn't have these clowns dressing up in women face in men
• 3:20
  face, and whatever, whatever kind of face, you want to
• 3:22
  describe it. Like I said, I'm talking about
• 3:25
  all this because of her, she's okay.
• 3:28
  And what they've decided, they want to do to celebrate
• 3:32
  International women's day. International women's day, and
• 3:36
  of course, the poor women for all women the ball women.
• 3:43
  They can't, you know, they can't have anything to themselves
• 3:47
  anymore. The feminist, we're all the
• 3:50
  feminist. These days?
• 3:51
  You're not allowed to have a thing.
• 3:53
  Let's have a look at this. This article.
• 3:55
  I'll show you what I'm talking about.
• 3:57
  And now this article this is a left-leaning article, okay?
• 4:01
  And it's interesting to see how How this person and how the
• 4:05
  article really frames things here?
• 4:07
  What they now claim is far-right point of view.
• 4:12
  It's literally, if you believe in facts, you believe that sex
• 4:20
  gender is binary, which is a fact, if you believe in the
• 4:24
  fact, of chromosomes genes, while then your far right
• 4:27
  apparently, the headline here, says the far right are coming
• 4:30
  for us, but I'm not going anywhere.
• 4:34
  Means woman, who sparked outrage.
• 4:36
  Bobbing face of Hershey's International.
• 4:39
  Women's day, says, she'll never shut up.
• 4:42
  So, I mean, she's a real activist real actor.
• 4:45
  That's so. The name is Faye.
• 4:49
  It, Johnstone, Jay Johnstone, 27.
• 4:52
  So the transgender woman who was the face of Hershey's
• 4:54
  International Women's Day. Chocolate, chocolate bar has
• 4:58
  shut down her haters after they accused the company of not
• 5:01
  caring about women. I mean, it is.
• 5:04
  Only women's International women's day, so naturally, you
• 5:07
  will have a biological male representing women who make
• 5:11
  sense fade Johnstone. 27 said the backlash, she received
• 5:15
  demonstrates exactly how much the far right is zeroing in on
• 5:20
  trans people and trans women in particular, the far right, it's
• 5:25
  far, right? It's funny.
• 5:26
  I used to think that the far-right would have been
• 5:28
  someone. Like, I always thought,
• 5:33
  far-right would be Like neo-nazis or something.
• 5:35
  Now is just a you don't believe in facts.
• 5:39
  Far-right the reaction to my inclusion as a trans women in
• 5:43
  her. She's can that Canada's
• 5:45
  International women's day campaign shows just how far we
• 5:48
  still have to go in the fight from feminists.
• 5:50
  Feminist, Liberation and trans rights feminist Liberation.
• 5:56
  Okay she wrote in a tweet on Thursday, they're coming for us.

  everyone is able to live in public space, as just quickly,
• 6:49
  if you're watching this phage on Stone, if you look at fade
• 6:52
  Johnstone, a little just a quick give away just in case you're
• 6:57
  not sure what the difference is between females and males and
• 7:01
  maybe you have difficulty in You know, Discerning which is which
• 7:05
  something this it's quick quick way to discern, see the very
• 7:11
  large Adam's Apple here in the throat protruding from the
• 7:14
  throat. It's a dead set giveaway.
• 7:16
  That this is a male. Now also look at how
• 7:20
  unattractive this person is. That's a male space, that's a
• 7:25
  means face. Okay, you can't get away from
• 7:28
  it. It's a bloke.
• 7:29
  Anyway, we'll keep going with this poor fella.
• 7:33
  As there are honest and authentic selves.
• 7:35
  Either woman changing, how we see the future at her.
• 7:37
  She's Canada. My name is Faye Johnstone.
• 7:41
  So there you go. Honest and authentic self
• 7:44
  authentic. I'm not sure someone just
• 7:47
  doesn't realize what authentic actually means.
• 7:49
  But anyway, so continue on with the article, John Stone has
• 7:53
  spent many years fighting for lgbtq+ rights in Ottawa, Canada,

  That Hershey's has marketed a product to celebrate

  was fronted by woke actress and comedian Mindy Kaling act.
• 8:51
  You know, in a funny way at least she's actually a women a
• 8:56
  woman. While Johnstone, the executive
• 9:00
  director of Consulting business wisdom to Action tweeted on
• 9:03
  Wednesday that the was honored. So I'm not sure if that's
• 9:08
  supposed to be the or this is this person using their
• 9:12
  pronouns, which shouldn't that mean shouldn't we be going back
• 9:16
  to the old school? You know way of saying that the
• 9:20
  th ee isn't it? The way you should be doing it
• 9:23
  so the proper tense I don't know was honored to be in the

  What they used this comeback, that they use this ad that they,
