I have a coin it is unaltered not a
trick coin or anything like that how
many sides does this coin have which
side is more valuable than the other
when I give the coin to a cashier I
don’t make sure the cashier sees heads
or tails depending on which I do more
valuable now if I did that my parents
would worry and send me to a
psychiatrist if your answer was two
sides and either side is equally
valuable then let me ask you how does
this work in real life let’s say the
coin is a human being and either side is
gender male and female that is gender
issues are not new during the 19th
century women began demanding equal
rights human rights like the right to
vote the right to own property and the
right to have control over their own
earnings all in the name of feminism
feminism as defined by Google is the
advocacy of women’s rights on the basis
of the Equality of the sexes women now
have those rights but they’re having a
new problem they’re not getting equal
pay for the same work now you might say
maybe the majority of the population is
male and that’s why we see male workers
in higher positions actually the ratio
of women to men now is 51 to 49 women
clearly outnumber men yet they hold few
political positions this year women only
make up 19 percent of Congress which is
better than 2013 where women only made
up 13% but after this year’s alert after
last week’s election women are now up to
22% which is way better but we still
have a long way to go according to the
National Association of Women business
owners 39 percent of businesses are
owned by women and the majority of these
businesses are considered to be small
businesses
now you might say it’s a question of
qualification but if you look back at
history several great achievements were
made by women
Mary Curie in science Amelia Earhart in
aerodynamics and Fields Medal winner
Miriam meadows oh honey in math it’s not
really a question of qualification if
you ask me rather I would say it’s the
lack of opportunity have you ever
noticed that despite how developed we
say we are we have never had a female
president or vice president but if you
look at Pakistan a developing country
they were open enough to accept a female
prime minister so I have Bangladesh
Nepal and the UK to name a few feminists
thought the solution to this issue would
be equality between genders in all
aspects that’s trying to make the two
genders one in the same so if we say w
is women and M is men that means that if
this statement is true W equals men and
they can be used interchangeably if take
a look at the person next to you go
ahead I’ll wait if this statement is
true then we should all be carbon copies
of each other that means I can replace
you by the person next to you and you
would know better than anyone else that
wouldn’t work equality is fairness not
same in us sameness whenever I think of
fairness not being the same as sameness
I remember a story
Muhammad Ali told the Olympic gold medal
winner of the 1960s he was also called
the champion of civil rights by a
British prime minister after he won that
gold medal in 1960 he went downtown to a
segregated restaurant his took a seat
and ordered a cup of coffee and a hot
dog the waitress said we don’t serve
black people she didn’t say black that
was
purified you’re welcome he said I’ll
need him either just give me a cup of
coffee
long story short Muhammad all he had to
leave that restaurant but when you look
at back at his life he never tried to be
something he wasn’t in his case White’s
he’s embraced his chocolatey complexion
stood up to me to the mistreatment and
fought for civil rights he was invited
on white TV shows and took every chance
he got to fought for what he believed in
women should do the same don’t try to be
men because of the mistreatment stay
if you look back at history why where
did this problem start this problem of
equality well the men were the ones to
go out hunt scavenge and communicate
with other tribes while the women stayed
back to tend to the children and the
farm over time women men’s contribution
to society could be measured in money
well women’s couldn’t be measured since
well you don’t exactly get paid to raise
your own kids women’s contribution was
being devalued so to overcome this women
tried to become women made men the
obstacle that sorry women made men the
model or the standard that’s trying and
from there women needed to act like men
dressed like men behave like men and
like things men would like till this day
I have not seen a woman in the position
of Hillary Clinton or Queen Elizabeth
dressed with her hair down and long in a
feminine dress like Reese Witherspoon in
Legally Blonde now what would the ideal
feminist world
look like we would live in one of two
scenarios
the first being men would a woman would
become
would replace men they would work
outside and the men would tend to the
children at home after a while women men
would rebel just like women are right
now and we just keep going in a vicious
circle and the second scenario would be
where men and women are equal both work
outside of the house and the child is
left to be raised by no one since no
one’s home that would be like two pilots
in the same plane each driving in their
own direction just saying I would not
want to be on that train
on that plane a loss in individuality is
a loss in diversity we need to stay true
to ourselves and not try to be men
because of the mistreatment men and
women complement each other like salt
and sugar to create a sweet and salty
masterpiece so I call you men and women
alike when you see when you look at
someone look for the value and remember
this coin regardless of the side it has
the same value difference is not
weakness and as Aristotle said the worst
form is of inequality is to make unequal
things equal thank you [Applause]
trick coin or anything like that how
