Segregating Black and White Sprinters due to Black Advantage (2019-03-28) ​

0:00:00 in examining especially second-wave
0:00:03 feminist ik discourse is clear the
0:00:06 premises the premises there are physical
0:00:10 differences Simone de Beauvoir makes
0:00:13 that candidly clear there are physical
0:00:16 differences between men and women we
0:00:17 know them we're not ignorant to them
0:00:21 she even mentions emotional differences
0:00:24 in her book the second sex and her
0:00:27 chapter on biology she says even
0:00:29 biological differences anatomical
0:00:31 differences physiological differences
0:00:33 psychological differences emotional
0:00:35 differences but the argument goes as
0:00:37 follows despite those differences there
0:00:40 should be equality does that make sense
0:00:44 so far so if a second-rate feminist
0:00:46 would say despite those differences
0:00:50 there should be equality afforded
0:00:53 what kind of equality political equality
0:00:55 social equality economic equality this
0:01:01 is pretty much in a nutshell what the
0:01:04 argument is now obviously one could
0:01:06 justifiably ask what's the proof of that
0:01:09 what's the evidence for that why should
0:01:12 that be the case how's that entailment
0:01:15 made from first principles Rousseff
0:01:19 supports how can you justify that
0:01:23 and that's really not a question that
0:01:26 there is any answer to frankly well that
0:01:28 there is any formula given for us on how
0:01:31 to answer those questions however and
0:01:36 this is moving on now to the second part
0:01:38 of the lecture which are to spend a
0:01:39 little bit of time on are we consistent
0:01:45 or are feminists consistent in
0:01:49 particular second where families are
0:01:50 they consistent in the application of
0:01:54 those principles now there are three
0:01:57 things three live examples I want to
0:02:00 give you to show you how problematic
0:02:04 these assumptions are for feminists the
0:02:07 first one relates and I'm sure many of
0:02:09 you might have been exposed to this it's
0:02:13 a big thing on the news now actually
0:02:15 that's why I'm bringing it up it's the
0:02:16 idea of transgendered sports now I'm not
0:02:22 sure if this is kind of them spill over
0:02:24 to Malaysia but this is certainly
0:02:26 something a hot topic in the West in
0:02:29 America and in the UK Western Europe the
0:02:32 question is say for instance you have
0:02:34 someone who identifies and who is
0:02:37 identified biologically as a man they do
0:02:41 a gender reassignment surgery and they
0:02:44 become self-identified as a woman okay
0:02:50 so they do a gender reassignment surgery
0:02:51 and then become self-identified as a
0:02:54 woman can they participate in sports
0:02:58 with women now second wave feminists on
0:03:03 the whole seem averse to the idea now
0:03:06 you can't make a generalization with
0:03:08 anything but big-time second wave
0:03:10 feminists like Germaine Greer who wrote
0:03:12 the book in 1971 the Female Eunuch
0:03:15 she's like one of the founding mothers
0:03:19 of feminism and she in an interview she
0:03:23 completely rejected the idea and guess
0:03:26 what she invoked she invoked anatomical
0:03:30 and biological advantage wait a minute
0:03:34 hold on now hold on now let me hear the
0:03:40 argument yes so the argument goes now
0:03:44 since the person and this is a very
0:03:46 sensible argument to me as a non
0:03:49 feminist right the argument goes since
0:03:53 men have anatomical biological
0:03:57 advantages hormonal advantages and even
0:04:01 having gone through that process and
0:04:04 then the assignment the gender
0:04:06 reassignment happens if they now compete
0:04:09 with women it will give them an unfair
0:04:11 advantage and it will give them an
0:04:14 entitled over privileged position in
0:04:17 that context wait a minute this is
0:04:21 important now I thought you said sex was
0:04:25 or not sex because that's a third wave
0:04:28 construct some say that sex is a social
0:04:31 construct Judith Butler hinted to this
0:04:32 in her book gender troubles 1990 but not
0:04:35 this some do say that I thought you said
0:04:39 gender was a social construct no and you
0:04:46 know it becomes even more problematic do
0:04:49 you know when it becomes more
0:04:50 problematic when we start to see so the
0:04:55 question is now should there be an
0:04:56 equality of opportunity for men and
0:04:59 women in certain sports should we or
0:05:06 should we segregate and separate them
0:05:10 you don't like segregation but you have
0:05:13 it in sports but no no it's justified
0:05:16 for anatomical and biological reasons so
0:05:19 you're saying they're on biological and
0:05:21 anatomical grounds you can justify
0:05:24 separation wait hold on now but men will
0:05:28 be given an advantage why don't you make
0:05:32 that argument in all context of
0:05:34 categories for instance if you look at
0:05:37 the hundred meter dash and I made this
0:05:41 argument before I make here again the
0:05:43 100 meter sprints in the last 100 years
0:05:45 I don't know of one why
0:05:48 man who's won that no I don't know I
0:05:53 don't know one white man that's one that
0:05:55 it's dominated by black people not only
0:05:58 does black people West Africans and
0:06:00 Jamaicans should we separate the blacks
0:06:04 from the whites now if you say we
0:06:08 shouldn't separate the blacks from the
0:06:10 whites you're contradicting yourself you
0:06:12 know why because you said in cases where
0:06:16 there is biological and anatomical
0:06:19 advantages for one category of person
0:06:22 over another category of person there
0:06:24 should be separation so why should that
0:06:26 be the case only for gender why
0:06:29 shouldn't it also be the case for race
0:06:31 because you've recalled racist
0:06:33 this is selective invocation you see
0:06:38 they are not even consistent with their
0:06:40 principles these Africans are very good
0:06:44 at long-distance you know we have
0:06:47 someone called noir Farah very good
0:06:49 runner you know they have an advantage
0:06:53 East Africans birth early they have a
0:06:56 broadening advantage white people have
0:06:58 an advantage in something swimming and I
0:07:01 want to be controversial but I've never
0:07:03 seen a black man win that swimming race
0:07:04 I was at world market Michael Phelps how
0:07:07 many sons do you on it while we're gonna
0:07:11 separate the blacks from the whites
0:07:12 we're not going to separate the blacks
0:07:14 from the whites so what kind of
0:07:16 equalities you wanna so some feminists
0:07:19 would say we want equality of
0:07:20 opportunity and some would actually say
0:07:23 we want equality of outcome all right so
0:07:30 yeah some would say we want any quality
0:07:34 of opportunity but almost all feminists
0:07:37 would say that in fact so why don't you
0:07:40 have an equality of opportunity in
0:07:42 sports
0:07:45 why don't we arrange parameters that
0:07:49 mean that people of the same weights
0:07:51 whether they're men and women they go
0:07:54 together in competition we can do that
0:08:00 it's not difficult it's not difficult in
0:08:04 boxing for example you don't think
0:08:07 there's 75 kilogram women that's the
0:08:09 most popular category for men let's
0:08:11 bring them together right you want
0:08:13 equality of opportunity
0:08:14 no but that's advantage men but he said
0:08:18 the anatomical thing you see it is
0:08:20 really problematic
0:08:21 you have segregation acquiesce
0:08:25 segregation in some spheres where are
0:08:31 the feminists we needs we need a sign
0:08:35 against this seriously if your preview
0:08:40 are principally averse to a biological
0:08:43 anatomical arguments arranged parameters
0:08:47 which does not discriminate on gender in
0:08:51 the field of sports but they will never
0:08:54 do that because it's not about equality
0:08:58 it's about entitlement it's about where
0:09:03 can we find the advantages that's the
0:09:06 problem and this case becomes more
0:09:10 exacerbated when we look at war we need
0:09:15 to rectify the social ills problems of
0:09:21 the past patriarchal society and we need
0:09:27 to have equality of opportunity in all
0:09:31 spheres in all industries political
0:09:33 social and economic there should be
0:09:36 absolutely no exception to that but war
0:09:41 that entails death that entails injury
0:09:46 we don't really know about that one I've
0:09:50 never actually come across their
0:09:54 movements that aims to rectify a
0:09:58 historic accumulation of gender
0:10:07 discrimination against men in the field
0:10:10 of war almost every military in every
0:10:14 country in the world in all of history
0:10:17 has been male-dominated men have died
0:10:21 now if we're being honest we should say
0:10:25 that's a severe matriarchy you're forced
0:10:30 meant to be society inclined or forced
0:10:33 to kill themselves and fight themselves
0:10:37 so for the protection of the country so
0:10:40 on feminism if there's an equality of
0:10:42 opportunity we should address that
0:10:44 historic discrimination and we should
0:10:48 look at all the wars that men were
0:10:51 dominating the armies in them and we
0:10:54 should have female only conscription and
0:10:58 draft forcing the women to fight for the
0:11:01 men for at least the amount of time that
0:11:04 would equalize the historic imbalance no
0:11:10 but brother which are being flooded by
0:11:20 males men is that extra words the actual
0:11:25 maitreya watch before mecca for the meat
0:11:29 to go to Milan talks
0:11:35 what kind of things is what the most
0:11:38 part so if we're going
0:11:40 nobody quality first should we rectify
0:11:44 that the program is guys no it's just to
0:11:49 selective you choose want to be
0:11:52 absolutely equal and you choose you're
0:11:55 in session this is the problem so these
0:11:59 are some clear examples of
0:12:02 inconsistencies even using the first
0:12:05 principles of feminism even using
0:12:08 exactly what they're talking about
