00:00Every effort must be made not to recruit women into engineering,
00:05but rather to recruit and demand more of men who become engineers.
00:10Ditto for med school and the law and every trade.
00:23If every Nobel Prize winner is a man, that's not a failure.
00:27It's kind of a cause for celebration.
00:30The feminist ethic of careerism and easy sex is a recipe for national disaster.
00:43They are more medicated, meddlesome, and quarrelsome than women need to be.
00:52Can someone please make me a shirt that says medicated, meddlesome, and quarrelsome?
00:57How insecure do you have to be to admit that you are scared of little girls and little boys
01:01being taught that they want the same things and that they both should be independent?
01:05You didn't have to tell on yourself, Scott.
01:20Women are so critical to solving today's problems, tomorrow's problems.
01:26We're just carving a path, and it's just really important that we continue to elevate each other.
01:35As I listened to it, as somebody who is in the field of transportation,
01:39it just, it got me riled up.
01:42So I sent a tweet out at 10.30 at night, put my phone down,
01:47and by morning I was like, uh-oh, we're having an event on Saturday.
01:50This thing took off.
01:52People started retweeting it because I think some people, they wanted something done, right?
01:57They wanted to have a space in which they can go and be present among other women and men.
02:04I reflect back in my current job as a transportation planner,
02:07and when I first started, I was the only female in my department at the time, right?
02:11All my other colleagues were men.
02:14And so to hear that, to say that we should put barriers to advance women into these careers
02:19was hurtful because for us who are in these careers, we're trying our best to mentor young women up.
02:43He's in a place of authority.
02:45So if here he is spouting out that we should not have women in these fields
02:49and we should not be supporting their advancement in these fields,
02:51and he has those very women sitting in his class,
02:54do they feel as though they have a future with him, right?
02:57Is he going to support their future?
02:58Is he going to grade them equal to his male counterparts?
03:01If it were me, I would feel as though I'm not going to get the same treatment as my male students in that class.
03:16There was a GoFundMe site that actually was started from the BSU students,
03:21a young woman who said, you know what, we're going to tackle this from this angle.
03:26And then you had students who led their own protest on the inside,
03:30who were giving their speeches, and they're all heartwarming,
03:33and they're all about personal reflection and how it is that this is impacting their futures.
03:38And then we have us just coming together in solidarity as professional women and moms
03:43and trying to advocate for the next generation.
