00:00She's not a human being. She's a woman.
00:02If I tell you,
00:08because she is not a human being.
00:10She is not a human being.
00:12If you want to refer to women,
00:14you have to categorically say,
00:20what kind of reduction is that?
00:24And women seem to have not just internalized it,
00:27they are propagating it in a very perverse way.
00:29They are enjoying it.
00:30And the entire world is paying the price.
00:33One half of our species,
00:36very broadly speaking,
00:38because most of women's best friends
00:40have come from the other half,
00:43from the other gender.
00:44So I know I'm running the risk
00:46of a very ungrateful kind of generalization
00:49when I say men have oppressed women.
00:51Because it's men, again,
00:53who have been at the forefront of women's liberation.
00:57Again, that would be contested by feminists,
00:58but there is one half
01:01that has been in general
01:03so perverse
01:04that it totally suffocated the other half.
01:07Now this other half
01:09aspires to be like that first half.
01:12What kind of aspiration is this?
01:14You want to be like
01:15the one who destroyed half of humanity?
01:18That's true.
