0:04 Booyakasha! Check this, today we is talking about women. I is with none other than Professor Sue Lis. 0:13 She be director of the Center for Gender Research, and we is gonna be talking about ladies. 0:19 Now, one in two people in the country is a woman, so it's about time you've got to know about them. 0:26 Women, they is important, aren't they? 0:28 They indeed are. Very important, as important as men. 0:32 Which is better, man or woman? 0:36 Well, equality is not about being better. 0:39 But which one is better? 0:40 I don't think either is better. 0:43 But one must be a little bit better. 0:47 In what respect? 0:50 Like, you know, in the way that something is worse and something is better. 0:57 Do you think there will ever be a female Prime Minister? 1:01 Well, there has been one, um. 1:03 When? 1:04 Margaret Thatcher. 1:04 No, she wasn't Prime Minister. 1:06 Yes. 1:07 She was, uh, the Defence Minister. 1:09 No, she was Prime Minister. 1:11 Do you think another woman will be allowed to slip through? 1:14 I mean, the real question is, is whether there'll be a President of the United States who is a woman. 1:20 Do you think a woman should be able to have any job? 1:24 I do, yes. I think they should be able to have any job. 1:27 Would you feel safe, though, if you knew a woman was flying your plane? 1:32 Why wouldn't you feel safe if a woman was flying it? Do you feel safe being driven by a woman? 1:37 No. But would you not be scared that she would start nattering or thinking about things and then forget to fly the plane or get hungry suddenly. 1:46 That's incredible prejudice, you know. 1:48 Why? 1:49 Because there's no evidence that women, women are just as reliable workers as men are. 1:55 A lot of boys we know is trying to get their girlfriends into feminism. 1:59 Do you think that is right? 2:01 Yeah, I do. I think it's a good thing. 2:03 Do you think all girls should try feminism at least once? 2:08 Well, girls today often don't recognize how much they benefited from feminism. 2:13 But do you think it is right when they try feminism when they is drunk at a party or whatever with a few mates? 2:19 What does trying feminism mean? 2:21 You know, try a bit of feminism, and when they is sober the next day, they get back together with their boyfriends. 2:26 I don't understand what you mean by get feminist. 2:29 When they kiss a woman. 2:31 What, being lesbian are you talking about, sexually? 2:34 Aye, for real. 2:35 But that's not... Feminism is not about sex, having sex relationships with 2:40 Aye. 2:40 other women. 2:41 Aye, ain't only about that. 2:42 That is not what fem- Well, it's not about it at all. 2:48 Me uncle Jamal, he says he is trisexual. 2:52 Yeah. 2:52 He will try anything sexual. 2:56 What does that mean? 2:57 There are a lot of people, you know, who would agree that they are, that they would like having sexual relationships with men and with women. 3:05 So you're saying that you think that he has done it with men? 3:09 But he has. 3:10 Right? 3:12 Um, well, it would suggest that from that, 3:16 or that he's interested in it. Don't know whether he would have done it. 3:20 That's what done it means. 3:25 So you think, um, me uncle Jamal is a 3:27 Oh, I don't know. 3:28 butty boy? 3:30 No, I don't think he's a butty boy, actually. 3:31 But you think me uncle Jamal like it in both pipes? 3:35 I think he probably, uh, is making a joke. 3:39 For real. So it's probably a joke. 3:40 It's probably a joke. 3:41 Even necessarily. Because he is a joker. 3:44 Yes, I think he's a joker. 3:44 If you called him, if you called him, uh, that to his face, he'd probably kill you. 3:50 We just want to say thank you, Professor Leith. Big up yourself. 3:53 Okay. 3:54 Thank you very much. 3:55 Thank you very much.
