00:00Why do women want to be equal to men? What's so praiseworthy in men that you want to be equal
00:06to men?
00:09Men are captives to their biological role.
00:13Men are in bondage of their bodies.
00:17When a man runs after a woman in a sexual way, is the man really running after the woman or
00:22is it the biological mandate?
00:24Please tell me.
00:25And if you take away the biological mandate, will the man still run after the woman?
00:28Men are running around trying to grab this, gobble that, eat, consume, make merry, have sex with as many women
00:37as possible, accumulate a lot of territory.
00:40That's what men have been doing all throughout history.
00:42What does a typical man do that is very distinct from what a chimpanzee does?
00:48Please tell me.
00:49The man is the gorilla.
00:51Why does the woman want to become a female gorilla?
00:54There is no glory in that.
00:56Therefore, equality is a misplaced ideal.
01:00What we need is liberation.
01:02And liberation is not liberty.
01:03To be liberated is to exceed both manhood and womanhood.
01:09As long as the woman says, I am the woman and I want liberty.
01:13It would be the liberty that you can get within confinement, within a jail.
01:19Liberation is about knowing who you really are and therefore what your fundamental desire is.
01:24Only that can help us and save us.
