That Gen-X Friend - Anything You Can Do I Can Do Better · Military Broadcast Radio | MBR Talk

  static and midnight shows. MTV raised us.
• 0:29
  You already know, watch key hearts and wild eyed dreams,
• 0:37
  feral minds tearing at the scene.
• 0:41
  You say it's too much to unpack but I see you wait and I've got
• 0:48
  your back. Talk to me.
• 0:51
  I'm that 10 ex friend. No judgement here, just truth
• 0:58
  and a Walkman blend. We scream.
• 1:01
  At the World. Good morning, welcome or welcome
• 1:13
  back to that Gen. X print podcast.
• 1:15
  And before I begin, as usual, I want to give a shout out to MB
• 1:19
  Radio. Thank you for this platform and
• 1:23
  allowing me to share thoughts about life.
• 1:27
  Deep thoughts, deep thoughts. So today I wanted to cover a
• 1:34
  topic, not because I'm trying to get to an answer because this
• 1:40
  has been a historical struggle and I was going to put it out
• 1:46
  there. Some of there might be some
• 1:50
  disagreement and I might go from Captain Obvious to Major a hole
• 1:58
  depend on depending on if you agree with me or not.
• 2:05
  But obviously I'm not the person to solve this historical affair
• 2:20
  and nor do I believe that I'm smart enough to.
• 2:23
  But I wanted to talk about it because it seems like we're
• 2:28
  getting lost in the weeds, lost in the muck of it all.
• 2:42
  All right, let's get to it. If you're able to read my title,
• 2:50
  the title I gave to this podcast, that says anything you
• 2:55
  can do, I can do better with a question mark.
• 2:59
  Those of you who know who may be familiar with Doris Day, She
• 3:04
  sang the song, I believe it's from a movie, Annie Get Your
• 3:08
  Gun, and it's sort of a playful back and forth between wait,
• 3:18
  listen to the song and you can get the gist of it on your own.
• 3:25
  But it is playful banter on the battle of the sexes.
• 3:28
  Very. This has been going on for as
• 3:33
  long as I know and also throughout history.
• 3:40
  But to me, even though this is not anything new, this issue has
• 3:50
  become and evolved into quite a blood sport, let's say.
• 3:59
  Sure, yeah. No, we cannot deny historical
• 4:03
  injustices or whatever. What?
• 4:05
  However you want to justify why there's a call to action for
• 4:15
  equality, right, Equality of the sexes.
• 4:20
  We cannot deny what's happened in history and what caused
• 4:25
  things to arrive at today, but we're where we are today.
• 4:36
  Are are we? Did we arrive at the right
• 4:42
  point? Like, do we even know where we
• 4:45
  are? Is there a correction, a course
• 4:56
  correction that can be made based on this legitimate right
• 5:04
  in some cases. Now, this is where some of you
• 5:07
  like, oh, thanks, Captain Obvious.
• 5:09
  You have quickly been promoted to Major A hole.
• 5:14
  I don't mean to obviously I'm a woman and from where I came
• 5:26
  from, my country origin, it is very patriarchal and and it's
• 5:33
  still very much so females. Female children are routinely
• 5:43
  removed. Let's just say to keep it as not
• 5:49
  gritty as possible. And I grew up under the sort of
• 5:57
  lesser than because I was born into a female body.
• 6:04
  But and then I've also been taught at the same time living
• 6:16
  here in the US to venerate the boss girl, the independence
• 6:29
  while grown up and being in the family structure that looked
• 6:37
  down upon females. And, and it's really some of it
• 6:43
  is very subtle in the way that they treat.
• 6:47
  I'm just going to talk about MyHeritage.
• 6:49
  MyHeritage treats women in this certain way, right?
• 6:53
  So yes, I do agree with a lot of the factors that made this
• 7:03
  discussion. This argument, however, made
• 7:05
  this battle the sexist, very needed and realistic.
• 7:15
  It's not like it's been fabricated.
• 7:17
  But I cannot holistically agree on where we have arrived at, at
• 7:26
  this point in life, society about this equality, right?
• 7:32
  That's why the title from the song Anything You Can Do, I can
• 7:37
  do better personally as even when I was younger.
• 7:46
  So here's the antidote. Y'all going to laugh at me?
• 7:51
  When I joined the army I was really, really like I wanted to
• 7:58
  honour this country and to be of service even up to my potential
• 8:07
  death if it was required. But I was so very gun ho, let's
• 8:13
  say, when they you can hear me because they filmed you during
• 8:19
  boot camp for those videos that got to make some money off of
• 8:22
  that, right? And I was coming out of the gas
• 8:24
  chamber. Yeah, I did this all right.
• 8:30
  And I was screaming, I want to be in infantry.
• 8:35
  Lordy, lordy, I had no idea what I was asking for and and there's
• 8:44
  no way I could have done anything the male counterparts
• 8:53
  to me can do that I can do better.
• 8:56
  I I lacked the the strength because my MOS was pretty.
• 9:02
  It needed to be. It needed me to be physical like
• 9:07
  in strength. I was 31U for those who do not
• 9:12
  know is basically the radio person.
• 9:15
  I was calm and we and I'm old enough to have had carry the old
• 9:21
  fashioned whip radios, whip antennas.
• 9:25
  You had the radio, you had the battery backup battery,
• 9:27
  whatever. But that wasn't the issue right?
• 9:30
  Yes. It was harsh on my body and it
• 9:34
  was heavy, plus all the other gear.
• 9:37
  And but the part that really got me right was that we had to
• 9:43
  hoist up this antenna by ourselves.
• 9:47
  It was a one man pool and this antenna was I don't know how
• 9:51
  many feet long, but the strength in which I needed to and I was
• 9:58
  maybe 110 whatever at that point in my life to hoist up this
• 10:05
  thing. I can usually hoist it up 45°
• 10:09
  angle, right? And at that point the torque,
• 10:12
  the, the strength I would have needed to pull it up, straight
• 10:17
  up was. So let's just say it was
• 10:27
  something that I, I didn't think I was going to be able to do is
• 10:31
  I had failed so many times. I had rope burn marks on my
• 10:36
  hands because from the rope slipping, yes, we had gloves on.
• 10:40
  But nonetheless, it didn't dawn on me that no, it was easy for
• 10:47
  the my counterparts, male counterparts to do.
• 10:50
  I'm like, Oh yeah, they look made it look easy.
• 10:53
  I should be able to do it and I can do it better, right?
• 10:56
  Because I did well in in school, in training, but I, I could not
• 11:09
  for the life of me for the longest time hoisted up by
• 11:13
  myself. Yeah, they opened that MOS when
• 11:19
  I first joined. I was the first group of females
• 11:21
  allowed to join it because radio personnel follows whoever,
• 11:26
  wherever doesn't matter. And but I was too young to sort
• 11:33
  of understand this. Oh, is this sort of equality of
• 11:38
  the sexist allowed to do the same jobs, Right.
• 11:42
  Oh, so they opened the door to equality.
• 11:44
  I never considered it. It's only now when I look back
• 11:48
  like, wow, OK, I was taught the inferiority of my being because
• 11:58
  of my being by MyHeritage. And then I went to in the same
• 12:04
  lifetime now like almost simultaneously at home, this is
• 12:10
  what it was, outside, this was what it was.
• 12:15
  And my mom also said, oh, you have to be independent, you have
• 12:18
  to never let a man, blah blah blah.
• 12:21
  At the same time showing me, telling me how below par I was
• 12:26
  to a man. It was very confusing.
• 12:30
  So when I was younger, I actually like, yeah, no, this is
• 12:35
  equality that we have to, but never knowing exactly what
• 12:42
  equality I was fighting for is is it for the MOS?
• 12:46
  Is it to be seen as equal to my male account counterparts?
• 12:52
  Is it to be accepted as an equal like because when we talk about
• 12:56
  this idea of equality of the sexes, we can cover anywhere
• 13:05
  from any part of life like or, or the the totality of life for
• 13:11
  one discussion down to the individual preference of
• 13:15
  equality. Like I'll just throw out one
• 13:18
  example. I hear a lot of women on social
• 13:23
  media saying, well, if a man asked me if we go on a first
• 13:29
  date, doesn't matter who asks, I guess the man should always pay.
• 13:37
  I actually don't agree with that, but there are plenty of
• 13:41
  women who believe that it doesn't matter or else they
• 13:44
  think the man should always pay. Is that equal?
• 13:50
  Doesn't seem equal to me, right? But at the same time, they also
• 13:59
  promote things like I guess if you do the job right, We're
• 14:08
  we've been beat over the head about how many how women get
• 14:12
  paid less for doing the same job right as their male counterpart.
• 14:20
  This nobody's this is what I'm saying.
• 14:22
  Are they talking about the whole isn't job?
• 14:25
  Like how old are you are? Are you taking a lot of sick
• 14:30
  leave? Are you taking maternally leave
• 14:33
  Right or right? They're not covering any of
• 14:38
  these factors that goes into they just wrap all this, this
• 14:42
  hunk of whatever mixed with all this, all these ingredients into
• 14:46
  one neat little package and throw it out there.
• 14:50
  Well, how can we do that? We don't.
• 14:54
  There's no agreed upon definition for equality.
• 15:01
  What? What does equality mean?
• 15:04
  As a society, can we come to a consensus of what equality
• 15:12
  means? Or is it just, I don't know,
• 15:15
  very temperamental, like if I think this should be equal, like
• 15:19
  for instance on the date thing. Right.
• 15:23
  OK, then if equals equal, then whoever asked the person out
• 15:30
  should pay. It shouldn't always be the man.
• 15:33
  I've never agreed with that. And I find that sort of weird
• 15:36
  that, that that's the perfect example of not equal or, you
• 15:45
  know, this is what I'm saying. What, what are we talking about?
• 15:52
  So with the pay, right, I get it.
• 15:55
  There's no, there's no way. If you're choosing to have a
• 15:59
  child, a woman will have to take time off.
• 16:02
  So should the job then factor into every woman of childbearing
• 16:14
  age? That's sort of a lot of them the
• 16:20
  time and calculate the salary that way.
• 16:23
  But also if you're married then shouldn't they do the same for
• 16:27
  the male and give them also time off?
• 16:32
  Sure we can play with salaries that way, like to make it equal,
• 16:39
  but then also we're not out there doing the same jobs
• 16:44
  either. What?
• 16:46
  See, this is what I'm saying. You can call me Captain Obvious
• 16:50
  or Major a hole because this is so convoluted I can't even get
• 16:56
  to a point where I can start. So if society hasn't put out
• 17:01
  there a definitive OK equality, we came and come to the table
• 17:06
  right now. This is a blessed sport in which
• 17:09
  we have entered the arena saying with the anthem, right, Anything
• 17:15
  you can do, I can do better. Well, what is this anything?
• 17:19
  What? What is this equality?
• 17:20
  That means, dude, we're equal completely.
• 17:23
  We can't even come to the arena and give the parameters like the
• 17:29
  rules of OK, this is equality, let's discuss it.
• 17:36
  If you go to a person, to the next person, next person, I
• 17:39
  betcha everybody has a different idea of what equality means,
• 17:45
  right? Like I said at the opening, I
• 17:50
  don't know how to get to the bottom of it.
• 17:53
  I'm not. I was that smart.
• 17:57
  Yeah. Anyways, obviously I am not, but
• 18:01
  I just, I did want to call it out because it just seems like
• 18:07
  we're throwing. I don't think we're the battle
• 18:14
  of the sexes this especially for equality of the sexes.
• 18:20
  I don't even think we're in the right arena.
• 18:24
  Why do we have to be equal? I'm not saying like, if you
• 18:28
  don't treat somebody nice, like men can treat women badly or
• 18:32
  women can treat men badly and there's no consequences, that's
• 18:36
  not equality. And that's a hypocrisy to the
• 18:39
  Max, right? But we're meant by a biblical
• 18:48
  sense to be counterparts to each other, to become as one, right,
• 18:54
  to balance, to make a whole. So in that sense, equality
• 19:06
  doesn't really it. It's to give equal parts of
• 19:11
  faithfulness that can mentally speaking, sure, we can do that,
• 19:15
  right? We're not saying women are less.
• 19:18
  We are deficient mentally or cognitively, we cannot add or
• 19:27
  subtract as well as our male counterparts and we're not as
• 19:34
  creative. But obviously by Physiology we
• 19:40
  are built different. So what are we asking for?
• 19:43
  Are we asking to make equal what obviously isn't equal?
• 19:53
  We can't just by biology, Physiology, all this stuff, are
• 19:58
  we asking to be accepted mentally that way?
• 20:04
  Right, but without the parameter to start, what does it mean to
• 20:12
  be equal? There's no such thing right now.
• 20:19
  Can we be equal? Are we already not equal?
• 20:23
  Is equality what we really want? Is it because when it comes to
• 20:32
  consequences, equality means equality for the benefits and
• 20:37
  the not so beneficial consequences of asking for this
• 20:44
  Is that? Is that what we are fighting
• 20:46
  for? I'm only I'm speaking more
• 20:49
  obviously from a female perspective because I don't
• 20:53
  understand it. Sure, we fought.
• 20:58
  Women fought for the right to vote.
• 21:00
  OK, great, we got that. Women are fighting for to be
• 21:09
  able to enter into job of choice.
• 21:15
  Sure, we got that. I I don't think there is There
• 21:22
  are jobs that are not open technically open to women,
• 21:28
  females, right, even within the military community.
• 21:33
  Like if you can prove yourself to be capable, not because
• 21:40
  standards were dropped, sure, do it.
• 21:45
  But I'm not quite sure. I'm not one of the obviously I'm
• 21:49
  not the example of why I I should never be using an example
• 21:57
  of why certain MO s s should be open to females, because
• 22:01
  obviously I I just told you I had trouble.
• 22:05
  It's hoisting up the, the, the antenna, right?
• 22:12
  And my male counterparts, I guess I'm average height and
• 22:17
  some of them were the same height as me.
• 22:21
  It was nothing to them. So when we asked for equality,
• 22:28
  are, are we saying, oh, we just want it open to us?
• 22:31
  And then, you know, or are we asking for the equality of
• 22:37
  individuals being able to occupy that occupation or status or
• 22:42
  whatever based on high standards or lower standards?
• 22:48
  Because in all actuality, we're not equal.
• 22:52
  We're not equal because I'm just not as strong.
• 22:55
  I'm just not. But there are things I'm better.
• 23:00
  I was better than my male counterparts, like attention to
• 23:04
  detail, so on and so forth. But that was only in particular
• 23:11
  cases. Like I'm so lost at the current
• 23:17
  battle that's been put out there of this equality.
• 23:26
  And I just want to shine a light on it because it's so murky.
• 23:29
  What are we talking about here, people?
• 23:32
  Can you give me a definition? Don't just throw it out there as
• 23:36
  a conversation starter and then use all the buzzwords to shut
• 23:41
  people down. Like, oh, if somebody did really
• 23:45
  sincerely ask, what is the definition in quality?
• 23:49
  Well, you know what quality means.
• 23:51
  Well, no, let's talk about it. Let's put some real boundaries
• 23:58
  down instead of including anything you can pull out of
• 24:00
  thin air. Hair there and everywhere S the
• 24:07
  moving goal post that nobody can ever, ever meet.
• 24:11
  It's frustrating to me because I do believe that there are some
• 24:19
  things that should be equal, as in you treat me well, I treat
• 24:24
  you well, I devote my life to you, You devote your life to me,
• 24:29
  right? I'm helpful, You should be
• 24:31
  helpful. That should be easily done,
• 24:33
  right? No, no, no, this is arguing a
• 24:38
  lot of it is not just on this level, because this takes what I
• 24:44
  just talked about, this mental ability to be equal practice.
• 24:49
  Equality is within control of our minds, right?
• 24:53
  But no, no, no, people want to ignore that like, well, no,
• 24:56
  historically that happened and that's why I can't do this.
• 24:59
  So this mental gymnastics that comes around when we talk about
• 25:03
  equality quickly moves from here to there to there everywhere,
• 25:08
  which is frustrating to me. If we want to talk about one
• 25:11
  thing, equality, like, I don't know, let's open all the jobs to
• 25:18
  everything, like to everybody, like to females, like the
• 25:22
  roughnecks, like the oil, the people who work on oil rigs,
• 25:27
  right? How many women want to do that?
• 25:29
  How many women want to go crawl into the sewers?
• 25:33
  I love dirty jobs, by the way. I don't know if you guys know
• 25:36
  this show. It's my bro.
• 25:37
  He had AI think early 2000s. He highlighted all these jobs,
• 25:46
  difficult dirty, dirty jobs, right?
• 25:48
  That could be conceivably done by, I guess, both sexes, right?
• 25:57
  But again and again and again, it was the men who are doing it,
• 25:59
  like men crawling into the sewer system where there are rats.
• 26:04
  There's like pestilence, like you can get really sick.
• 26:08
  I didn't see women doing that. Are we really fighting for
• 26:13
  equality? Like, OK, fine.
• 26:16
  For me, I, as the female, I voluntarily joined.
• 26:20
  OK, you can make your joke about I was, but not of sound mind and
• 26:25
  not deficient in my intelligence.
• 26:26
  Great, I'll take that. But only men can be drafted.
• 26:32
  Why? That's not equality.
• 26:34
  Draft us all. Open that to every person.
• 26:38
  If this is what we're asking for, let's do it.
• 26:41
  But no, right. And also women and children
• 26:48
  first. Let's go for equality there.
• 26:55
  There should be, no, I don't know, quarter given to women,
• 27:03
  maybe. Children, definitely.
• 27:04
  But women, No, bro, we're bro. We're equal.
• 27:10
  OK? My life is just as important as
• 27:13
  yours. So let's talk about that.
• 27:18
  See how confusing this is? There are a sector of people.
• 27:25
  I'm only speaking from the female perspective because it
• 27:28
  frustrates me. Again, I'm going to say that
• 27:31
  this all frustrates me. That's want equality only when
• 27:38
  it's beneficial, right? And do we'll run so quickly away
• 27:44
  from it when they're like, Oh no, no, no.
• 27:47
  If I have to do that, no, hey, no, no, that's not equality.
• 27:52
  And they will dance around like Olympic athletes gymnastics and
• 28:00
  twist themselves into knots and saying why it should not be and
• 28:09
  for what? Maybe it's not equality we're
• 28:12
  fighting for. Maybe this is just a people are
• 28:17
  using again, I should have made a freaking tin full of hat
• 28:23
  people are using this very legit discussion that we should have
• 28:28
  concerning equality in certain ways, right to then put an
• 28:33
  umbrella over all the other crazy stuff they want to push
• 28:37
  under the umbrella of equality. But it's not really equality.
• 28:40
  It it's some I I can't. If I was able to understand it,
• 28:44
  I would probably not have this not be so frustrated and trying
• 28:49
  to explain all this crazy. Are you, are you getting lost in
• 28:53
  all these arguments, these crazy arguments?
• 28:56
  Because I am. This is why it's so convoluted.
• 28:58
  This is do I want to do everything you can do and do a
• 29:03
  better? No, I don't.
• 29:07
  I don't like do I want to go to the oil rigs even if I could
• 29:11
  physically and to do that? No, I don't.
• 29:13
  There might be females out there who could.
• 29:16
  Who wants that. Great.
• 29:17
  Good for you. Awesome.
• 29:19
  Prove yourself to the standards. Not because oh, you know what?
• 29:23
  I can't lift this that and the other and well, you know, no,
• 29:29
  whatever a man that whatever the standard for the industry is,
• 29:37
  then women should be if they they are able to do so, then
• 29:44
  great, congratulations, awesome, but there's no back in like
• 29:49
  forgiveness like we'll we'll give you some concessions here,
• 29:52
  there and other. No, no, that that's not
• 29:55
  equality. That's just like accountants
• 29:58
  when they, you know, cook the books.
• 30:00
  I don't want that. So shouldn't we?
• 30:06
  This is what I'm saying when I pose this sort of question, It's
• 30:10
  it's I don't think we're even fighting in this right arena.
• 30:16
  Shouldn't we be working together to see how we can correspond
• 30:25
  using our differences? Are it's not inequality.
• 30:29
  Is that OK, I can do this better, You can do that better.
• 30:33
  And when we come together, wow, we elevate everybody.
• 30:36
  That's equality for everybody, right?
• 30:39
  We're not looking at the differences because regardless
• 30:42
  of how someone can frame this argument, depending on what
• 30:49
  they're talking about, like I said, it could be anything about
• 30:51
  life or one person's preference for equality.
• 30:56
  OK, if we can come together and say, OK, I see the weird
• 31:07
  counterparts. Oh, like for electricity, right.
• 31:13
  The the plugs you have, you have to plug it in into a well wall
• 31:18
  outlet for it to engage. So when we ask for equality, are
• 31:23
  we saying everybody should look, there should be no like female
• 31:27
  to male like shouldn't be no such thing.
• 31:30
  Everybody should look alike, everybody.
• 31:33
  How's that? So when you look at it that way
• 31:36
  from a outlet to the plug perspective, only when they come
• 31:42
  together, both are perfect, both are perfectly made.
• 31:50
  There's the the question is not about equality, it's how we
• 31:54
  compare our special makings right to another that can make
• 32:05
  things better, that can make things work.
• 32:09
  I I don't think we're even arguing about equality.
• 32:11
  But of course, like I said, some people use a legit needed
• 32:20
  discussion of equality to then umbrella a whole bunch of
• 32:25
  whatever agendas they have, right?
• 32:28
  It's not about working together because we are automatically by
• 32:32
  society, by training, by just whatever living in society, we
• 32:36
  are on the outset standing, opposing to each other.
• 32:41
  We are already on different sides of this divide without
• 32:45
  even understanding, hey, what is this definition of equality?
• 32:49
  What are we asking for? Are we really asking to be
• 32:52
  equal? And does equality really benefit
• 32:57
  all of us, or is it the holistic application of equality?
• 33:10
  Is it going to be the detriment of us?
• 33:14
  Because this is a blood sport. People are really, really very
• 33:19
  vicious in how they argue and how they shut people down.
• 33:27
  And of course, like populations, there's a bell curve, right?
• 33:31
  You know, like a bell curve. And most people rest in the
• 33:37
  large portion of the bell curve. And they're outliers, right?
• 33:40
  Depending on who you're talking to, the ideas of equality are so
• 33:48
  different, so different, but yet we want to use all these
• 33:55
  different voices to manage society.
• 34:03
  That's crazy making. We don't even know what we're
• 34:06
  asking for. Can we come to a consensus?
• 34:10
  No, because obviously I'm female and I don't agree with a lot of
• 34:14
  this. So how do we get there?
• 34:19
  That's why I say it's the wrong target.
• 34:22
  We should be. We're not meant to be opposing
• 34:27
  to each other. We are a team, right?
• 34:30
  If you want to look at it from a biblical standpoint, which
• 34:34
  that's how I look at it, we are meant to work together.
• 34:38
  We're not opposing. We are on the same team.
• 34:41
  The thing we need to worry about it's not so much as equality,
• 34:44
  but how we can use our differences to better benefit
• 34:54
  each other and society at large. That's just my opinion right?
• 35:00
  This is why I get so frustrated. Like we are being led by the
• 35:04
  nose by whoever. Like let's put on our
• 35:07
  conspiracy. Like the tinfoil hats by
• 35:10
  whatever to divide. They are clear and cut
• 35:19
  situations where yes, equality should be like it doesn't matter
• 35:24
  if you're a man, if you're a woman, if you did wrong, you
• 35:27
  shall be punished. But I don't think that is true
• 35:34
  either either. Potato, potato, tomato, tomato.
• 35:41
  So I don't know where I am right now with you guys.
• 35:44
  Am I Captain Obvious or am I? Have I been promoted quickly
• 35:48
  through the ranks and become major a hole?
• 35:50
  Depending whether you agree with me or not, it is just my
• 35:55
  thoughts because it's frustrating to see.
• 35:58
  I don't like to go into specifics of why, like really
• 36:08
  hot topics. Let's say I do sometimes.
• 36:11
  But there's one such event right now that's basically set the
• 36:18
  Internet on fire that prompted me to do this equality, right.
• 36:24
  And it has something to do with a jury.
• 36:28
  So you can you can infer what I'm talking about.
• 36:33
  I find it perplexing because, yeah, are we really asking for
• 36:46
  equality? Because that that can go down a
• 36:52
  very slippery slope into the abyss that I don't think people
• 36:57
  are are ready to ready to realize.
• 37:04
  Now, I won't go into it. I'm sure you have your own
• 37:07
  thoughts about it. If you don't know, then good.
• 37:09
  Stay away from the crazy. That's all the coverage that's
• 37:12
  been all over the Internet about it.
• 37:16
  But that's what prompted me. Like, what are we asking for
• 37:19
  here, people? Yeah, I do.
• 37:22
  I I seem extra spicy today, huh? It's because I have strong
• 37:27
  feelings about it. And it doesn't matter how I
• 37:29
  feel. I am not the arbiter of truth,
• 37:31
  nor can I say that I'm right, nor can I say that I'm wrong.
• 37:38
  This is just how I feel and I find it perplexing that people
• 37:45
  are fighting and pointing at anything and everything and
• 37:50
  constantly moving the goal posts from here to there to the other
• 37:55
  when talking about this topic and never really considering the
• 38:02
  really the really the real factors impacting the idea of
• 38:07
  equality. Why are we competing with each
• 38:11
  other when when using all that energy to compete, when working
• 38:17
  together well elevate everybody in totality?
• 38:23
  Is this need for competition? Is that equality?
• 38:29
  If you say you can do this, I'm going to say I can do better
• 38:33
  because I'm we're equal. There's sure there's real
• 38:38
  shaming that does happen all around the world concerning
• 38:45
  women being lesser. You can go pick a country, my
• 38:48
  country, but of origin it still happens.
• 38:54
  That's why there's such a deficit of male to female ratio,
• 38:58
  right? You see the consequences of
• 39:00
  that. That stuff is real.
• 39:06
  But I mean, what are we even talking about here anymore?
• 39:11
  I think it it does all but this sort of convoluted argument, I'm
• 39:16
  just going to throw whatever I want out there and shut you up
• 39:20
  and say equality, equality, equality, but never giving you
• 39:26
  what the definition, what is being asked for and move the
• 39:29
  goal post every time without being held accountable.
• 39:35
  Well, I think it does a disservice to everybody and it's
• 39:37
  making me frustrated. Gen.
• 39:42
  X, right? I guess we were brought up from
• 39:46
  being frustrated as the intro song is we're last he kids and
• 39:51
  did all this stuff. Craziness.
• 39:54
  So yeah, no, I don't have an answer.
• 39:58
  I just wanted to shine a light on the hypocrisy and the
• 40:01
  convoluted nature of this crazy argument.
• 40:05
  That's being thrown out there without actually giving it a
• 40:08
  definition of parameters, like where are we both standing?
• 40:12
  OK, What is your understanding of this?
• 40:14
  What is my understanding of this?
• 40:15
  Where are we trying to get to? How do we get from?
• 40:21
  How will we know where we want to go together or separately
• 40:26
  without knowing where we're starting at and also on the
• 40:31
  opposite sides of each other? Yeah, equality.
• 40:37
  Equality of mind, sure, but what else?
• 40:41
  The mind equality of mind is mostly within our own control.
• 40:46
  So why aren't these people doing that?
• 40:53
  I'm lost. So I think I just demoted myself
• 40:58
  to become to becoming a Captain Obvious again.
• 41:04
  But yeah, no, it it has to be said that while the concept of
• 41:12
  equality is legit because there are historical facts supporting
• 41:17
  this inequality, how the different sexes are treated, but
• 41:24
  it does not give complete leeway just to throw whatever it is
• 41:31
  into that umbrella in which they built under this equality,
• 41:36
  right? To throw in there and to demand
• 41:41
  and to control whatever outcome they deemed them beneficial
• 41:47
  while running away from the same equality that they deem not
• 41:54
  beneficial. I think that's BS.
• 42:00
  If I can solve this problem, I would.
• 42:04
  But I can because I'm also a hypocrite.
• 42:06
  I I am also convoluted in my own thinking.
• 42:10
  So who am I to say except to be saying, hey, I I'm in the forest
• 42:17
  and I see it. I I want to shine a light on
• 42:19
  this man. We are lost.
• 42:25
  Yeah. So I'm showing you guys my lack
• 42:28
  of intelligence. This whole podcast has been a
• 42:34
  convoluted, a demonstration of how convoluted this this
• 42:39
  discussion has become. So I don't know how you guys
• 42:45
  feel. Maybe open a discussion, maybe
• 42:49
  change it's maybe change how you see yourself myself.
• 42:58
  Maybe I should change how I treat others the opposite sex
• 43:09
  with hypocrisy concerning equality, right?
• 43:12
  That's the only thing I can do is to speak up about it while
• 43:16
  being mired in the muck I am. Because some days I don't.
• 43:24
  I just don't know what to think anymore.
• 43:29
  Forgive me for adding another argument perhaps in your mind or
• 43:37
  if you haven't thought about this, but thank you for
• 43:42
  listening really. Sometimes I may not have the
• 43:49
  solution, but I do feel the need to call this out for for
• 43:56
  whatever benefit benefit the truth should be shown.
• 44:01
  I can't walk around not speaking to both sides because I've
• 44:08
  experienced both sides and it's equally frustrating.
• 44:14
  As usual, that's how I'm going to end it.
• 44:16
  No answers. No answers for you, no soup for
• 44:19
  you because I don't have the answers.
• 44:22
  So as usual, I pray for you guys all the time and I will see you
