hi everyone welcome to
0:02
sunus your space where we Ser up all the
0:05
real talk on women empowerment
0:08
femininity and embracing our feminine
0:11
power if you are ready to bust some
0:14
myths and uncover the truths about
0:16
feminism if you are at the right spot
0:19
today we are tackling one of the most
0:22
misunderstood topics out there and that
0:25
is feminism seriously if I had a dollar
0:30
for every time someone Mis
0:33
misrepresented what feminism is I could
0:37
probably just found my own woman Le
0:39
space mission but
0:43
I oh wow there's so much I I I I I I
0:48
want to unpack so so grab your favorite
0:51
beverage man just get comfy and let's
0:53
just get straight to
0:56
it wow starting with
1:02
myth one feminism is just for
1:06
wom that's a myth oh honey honey honey
1:11
honey let's break this down first of all
1:15
the notion that feminism is just for
1:17
women is about as outdated as wearing
1:22
socks with sandals yikes like what
1:26
feminism is about fighting for equality
1:29
across the board you know it's not just
1:32
about Women's Club with no boys allowed
1:35
sign at the door no no no no no no no in
1:38
fact when we advocate for women's right
1:41
we are also advocating for men's right
1:44
not not to be confined by toxic
1:48
masculinity or rigid gender RS you know
1:51
so feminism aims to to to create a
1:55
society where everyone regardless of
1:57
gender where everyone can just
2:00
Thrive let's consider how gender roles
2:03
impact men too when society places
2:06
expectations on men to be Bread Winners
2:09
or emotionally stoic it it hars them
2:12
just as much as the restrictions on
2:16
women harms us women so
2:20
feminism wants to dismantle those those
2:23
barers allowing all genders to to live
2:27
authentically without being Shackled by
2:30
our outdated Norms so
2:34
um let's raise our our glasses to a
2:39
movement that that benefits
2:41
everyone I I hope I hope I hope you get
2:45
that I hope you get that and the myth
2:48
two feminists hate
2:53
men can we all take a collective breath
2:57
and repeat after me
3:02
feminism is not about hating
3:06
men it's not it's about challenging A
3:10
system that favors one gender over the
3:13
other gender sure some feminists Express
3:18
frustration um but it's not
3:21
about men women hating men it's not it's
3:26
not personal it's structural you know
3:30
it's not it's not personal so saying
3:32
hate oh my God that hate is such a
3:35
strong word so let's think of it this
3:37
way if a building is on fire do you
3:40
blame the firefighters for for being
3:43
upset about the
3:45
Flames no you appreciate them for their
3:49
bravery in tackling The
3:51
Blaze feminists are like those
3:54
firefighters calling out the Flames of
3:57
inequality and Injustice and here's a
4:01
kicker um many feminists also have
4:05
amazing male allies who are dedicated to
4:09
advoc advocating for gender
4:13
equality these men recognize the
4:16
importance of dismantling um these
4:18
structures that limit not only women but
4:21
also men so if you encounter a feminist
4:25
don't assume that she is ATI man she
4:29
might let just be passionate about
4:32
creating a fair world for
4:36
everyone I hope you get me myth
4:40
three
4:42
feminism is about being a man hater this
4:47
is just the same as the last point that
4:49
I want to say but I also want to dwell
4:52
into
4:52
this let's set the record
4:56
straight being a feminist doesn't mean
4:59
you have to throw all your main all your
5:02
male friends out the window no no no no
5:05
it's it's about advocating for equality
5:08
and supporting each other regardless of
5:11
gender we we know the saying that that
5:14
says behind every great woman is a man
5:17
who's completely
5:22
confused wow it's not
5:24
about it's not just about confusion it's
5:27
about collaboration you know s
5:30
understand that men can play an
5:33
essential role in their movement they
5:36
can help challenge harmful stereotypes
5:39
advocating for Change and promote gender
5:41
equality in their circles so do you see
5:44
that there's more to feminism than what
5:47
people are led to to to to know of so
5:51
feminism is about recognizing that we
5:54
all have a stake in a game women when
5:59
women succeed the society as a whole
6:03
benefits so instead of pting genders
6:07
against each other let's celebrate The
6:10
Men Who stand besides us advocating for
6:13
Change and progress we don't need to be
6:16
hating one another hate is a very strong
6:19
word and me
6:22
four feminism is only for the
6:27
privileged wo now that's a trick one
6:32
hold the phone this
6:35
myth shouldn't be further from the truth
6:39
feminism is a diverse and multiphased
6:43
movement it's it's so veratile it's it's
6:47
so veratile and it and that acknowledges
6:50
the the various challenges faced by
6:53
woman across different backgrounds it's
6:56
not um a one inside of thing it's a
7:00
colorful tapestry of experiences
7:04
perspectives and
7:07
struggles you know it's a crucial
7:09
concept of modern um feminism coined by
7:15
so much you know in highlights of how
7:18
different aspects um of of identity such
7:23
as race class sexual orientation and you
7:29
know you know an
7:32
ability intersect and affect wom's
7:35
expectations you know there's so much
7:38
going on in this whole thing so for
7:40
example if a black woman May face unique
7:44
challenges that differ from those of a
7:47
white woman feminism Champions the voice
7:51
of all women black IND indigenous
7:55
disabled and working every every type of
7:59
women so when someone claims that
8:02
feminism is just for the privileged
8:04
women remind them that feminism fights
8:07
for the justice of all women regardless
8:10
of their socio economic status so it's
8:14
about amplifying the voices that have
8:18
historically been silenced and working
8:21
towards equality in every sphere in
8:25
every sphere so yeah man this thing of
8:29
feminism being just for the privilege it
8:32
it doesn't make sense it truly doesn't
8:34
make sense and the fifth meth is
8:39
feminism is no longer
8:42
relevant are you kidding me are you
8:46
kidding me if anything feminism is more
8:50
relevant than ever just look around
8:52
women are still fighting for equal
8:56
play um Reproductive Rights and
9:00
an endtoend
9:04
based
9:05
gender
9:07
violence and please please Americans
9:11
please understand that when I talk about
9:14
the world I'm not talking about America
9:17
America does not represent the whole
9:19
world I'm saying this because I want
9:23
people to understand that just because
9:25
right now America is about to possibly
9:28
appoint a woman as their next president
9:33
it doesn't mean that other countries
9:36
still ST view and have the same
9:40
perspectives As Americans today we live
9:43
in a world where loss and soci societal
9:47
Norms still reinforce gender
9:50
inequality so women
9:52
are women are are under represented in
9:57
these leadership roles across barriers
10:00
of Industries so from politics to Tech
10:04
and let's not forget about that the
10:06
countless women facing discrimination
10:08
and harassment every single day feminism
10:12
is is crucial in addressing these
10:16
ongoing issues and advocating for for
10:20
for for the rights of women
10:23
globally globally so plus we have a new
10:27
battles to fight like reproductive
10:29
rights and sexual harassment in the
10:32
workplace so if anyone tries to convince
10:35
you that feminism feminism is is
10:40
dead oh my God they just feeling with
10:43
you remind them that the fight for
10:46
equality is still ongoing and we need
10:49
all hands on deck if we want to work on
10:53
this
10:54
quicker if we truly want to work on this
10:56
quicker and the sixth me is all
11:02
feminists are
11:05
angry yes we have strong
11:08
feelings and for good reasons but anger
11:12
can be a powerful Catalyst for change
11:15
instead of dismissing feminists as uh as
11:19
being angry let's see that the pass
11:23
let's see that as passion and a driving
11:26
force to prog to to progress
11:29
let's see it that way anger can be a
11:32
natural response to to Injustice when
11:35
women witness
11:37
discrimination harassment and inequality
11:40
it's completely valid to feel enraged
11:44
but here's a catch here is a catch the
11:48
anger that anger that FL that fools
11:51
activism and inspires others to join the
11:55
fight for
11:57
equality H the the same anger that y
12:01
saying all feminists are angry the more
12:04
women who are not feminist see the
12:07
passion in the eyes of the women who are
12:10
fighting for equality the more they see
12:12
that the more they get inspired to join
12:15
and fight for equality so that's just a
12:19
myth and it's it's it's essential to
12:22
differentiate between anger and that
12:26
seeks to create change and that breathes
12:30
negativity feminism encourages
12:33
constructive conversations advocacy and
12:36
action not mindless bitterness so
12:39
instead of labeling feminists as angry
12:43
let's appreciate their passion for
12:46
creating a more just
12:48
world that that's all feminists are not
12:52
are not
12:53
[Music]
12:54
um hard woman to handle just be fair
12:58
with them that's all they ask just be
13:01
fair with them the seventh myth is
13:06
feminism is a western
13:09
concept sorry folks feminism is a global
13:13
movement that transcends borders
13:17
cultures and traditions while the issues
13:21
women face May differ ac across all
13:24
these countries the fight for gender
13:26
equality is so so Universal when women
13:29
across the globe are battling various
13:32
forms of Oppression they are battling
13:35
whether it's access to Education Health
13:39
Care freedom from violence
13:43
feminism feminism just recognizes these
13:47
struggles and seeks to uplift and
13:50
amplify the voices of women everywhere
13:53
imagine if we we stopped talking about
13:57
feminism and this inequality that's
14:00
happening around the world think of so
14:02
many countries where women are still
14:03
being
14:05
oppressed if we stopped with feminism
14:09
those women are doomed for life so the
14:12
more people see such videos the more
14:14
people learn about what feminism is the
14:17
more people will learn that wait a
14:20
minute there are so many cultures and
14:23
traditions which are oppressing woman in
14:26
the name of traditions so
14:30
we are just looking to to create a
14:33
better life for women we are creating a
14:36
better life for women and it's so
14:40
essential to acknowledge that the rich
14:42
history of feminism in different
14:44
cultures from um from so so many I I can
14:50
give you the list of those women Le
14:54
movements in India feminism takes in so
14:58
many forms so the next time someone
15:00
tells you feminism is a western concept
15:03
remind them
15:05
that no no no no it doesn't work like
15:07
that it's a powerful source for change
15:12
worldwide just because so much has been
15:16
worked worked out in America when it
15:19
comes to women equality it doesn't mean
15:22
all the countries are like that we still
15:24
have so many countries that women are
15:26
still fighting for equality
15:29
and we will get there I have so much
15:32
faith in this woman we will get there
15:35
the eighth myth is feminism is anti
15:40
family
15:42
what this means shouldn't
15:45
be more
15:47
misguided feminism advocates for family
15:50
choices empowering women to choose how
15:53
they want to structure their families I
15:55
mean why not have a say in how your your
15:59
your your your family is going to be
16:01
structured when when a man leaves you
16:04
you're the one who be left with the
16:06
children and taking care of the children
16:08
so why is a person like that not not um
16:15
supposed to be talking or or being
16:19
involved in structuring how she wants to
16:23
have her family whether a woman wants to
16:26
to be a stay-at-home mom or working mom
16:28
or more childfree
16:30
feminism feminism just supports her
16:34
right to take the choice without
16:36
judgment you are allowed to not want to
16:40
have children if you don't want to have
16:42
children you are not forced to have
16:44
children just because you have a wom so
16:47
feminism encourages a shared
16:49
responsibilities within families it's
16:53
it's advocating for men to take their
16:55
active role in parenting and household
16:59
duties promoting a healthier work life
17:02
balance for everyone involved so
17:05
feminism isn't about tearing families
17:07
apart that's ridiculous it's about
17:10
strengthening them by challenging
17:12
traditional gender roles and
17:15
expectations that's it that is that's
17:19
that's it guys it's not
17:23
um
17:25
such something that needs to get you
17:30
tiptoe not knowing what what no families
17:35
feminism wrecking hell no the
17:40
ninth myth is feminism is only about
17:45
women's
17:53
rights while feminism primarily aims to
17:57
address gender equality affecting women
18:00
it's also about tackling broader
18:02
societal issues that impact
18:06
everyone so feminism recognizes that
18:09
these systems of of Oppression such as
18:14
um um racism and classism you know and
18:19
it recognizes that they are so
18:21
interconnected so by fighting for
18:23
women's rights feminism is also fighting
18:26
against the forms of Injustice Justice
18:29
and inequality feminism promotes social
18:33
justice and advocates for for
18:36
more um Equitable world for everyone
18:41
regardless of their gender race or even
18:45
background so this has got nothing
18:47
feminism has got nothing to being about
18:50
women's only because the more women
18:51
fight for their own equality it's not
18:54
like the world doesn't benefit anyway it
18:57
does so
18:59
guys there you have
19:01
it my beautiful sanit delicious fam
19:05

19:06

19:08
