I don't like it I had to do this because they're both wearing these jerseys and it would throw me off if I had to be over there And they both had jerseys on Mess with me, but this is called a brown girl's guide to gender. This has been highly requested a long time Neither of us are brown girls one of us is a girl but I think we will still relate to this as Humans Because everybody was so certain we were for so long don't be revelatory. Yeah, I'm I'm kind of albino But I think this is a poetry slam, so I'm quite looking forward to it sweet I'm just glad we're getting to it because so many beautiful And there's multiple of these so if there's another one that we should really be reacting to yeah There's brown girls guide to fill on the blank a lot of these First boy who held my hand Don't be boys and want to hear about vagina's bleeding Younger me could smell the misogyny vagina's only meant to be fucked breasts only meant to be soft mouth So you meant to blow it's true I know my waist meant to be compared to an hour glass my voice only meant to quiver Please fast yet I'm silenced for all you boy don't do is sexual interaction Not just me my mother sister's friends all quick in the pace pose a 30 in the evening My mom telling me to a skirt Soundless often nilbaya and more left forgotten. We don't want to be another of India's daughters, do we? So I wear my jeans long and wear my tops high Don't show my cleavage or a hint of my thighs Don't want to be mistaken for wanting it because if I wear less I'm more than just flaunting it I'm risking it risking on my virginity, but my life my highman seems to be sacred to the keeper to love I'm a wife. It's not I'm a whore a slut and skank and more not as pure as I was before 15 year old Lakshmi didn't like 32 year old good-do back and good-to-death with it real much only he made her the victim of an acid attack Lakshmi could be your sister your girlfriend your cousin we girls women human So I asked my male friend to drop me home because his privilege will protect mine I'm sorry that I was cat-caught in my uniform at the age of nine. This isn't an old man thing I know trust me I do but the men I can trust are only a few at the age of tell my brass taps are sexualized at the Same time we don't get damn sexual rights my aunt rape by a husband, but marital rape is fine Fuck it up. It's a mad design get in line So what I'm trying to say here tonight is I'm sorry I was brought up in a family where my brother taught me wrong from right to am I mother believes in our generation to better the world I'll make it slightly easier for each and every girl Thank you For I see men in this room Reaching out for help realizing the pain of the womb Being saved by the same of a few we're all collectively reaching out for you Suffice it to say I wasn't expecting that no that was intense and Depressing because it was all incredibly true true and like I said I We could easily not relate but understand because it happens to women here everywhere literally everywhere around the world. It's not I'm assuming. I think that probably the most powerful and me was you say I'm sorry. I got cat-caught in my skirt when I was nine Mm-hmm. Yeah Yeah, well like I remember Alexis you'll remember this I'm sure you don't mind me sharing this when I would know when when I first started because you and ash were Completely naive to it and I had to point out to you Manor starting to notice you remember and it was like wait what dad's like no Guys you need to be aware Sorry, but you're now that yeah, and they were really young when that started to happen Younger than you would want that to happen. I had to prepare you. Yeah, well Um, it's a really good poem Incredible kid. Yeah, what'd you think Lex? I thought I mean I love that she has the platform to be able to speak about yeah I think that's really beautiful. Yeah, and it was really well put Sometimes this a lot of stuff could be like just in your face in your face, but it was yeah like raging Yeah, but it wasn't wasn't really that even though. I mean if she wanted to she could totally do that because yeah But I just I wonder I really wonder how many How many Indian girls and guys who who sympathize with the situation in India I feel like that's just shouting into a void because it doesn't because so many places they shout like that And it's not heard and it doesn't change and they stop shouting because it's just it's still It's still going on and it's it's it's I think it's more complex for them because they don't just have it as a gender thing It's a multifaceted thing of religious differences and hierarchies and caste system hierarchies and regional higher Women are held to a higher standard because for some reason their bodies are just sexualized Right, so if they're 13 and their bra strap is showing that somehow scandalous If they're wearing shorts that show their thighs that some I just honoring to them That's just it's and obviously there's different cultural things, but it just it makes me Incredibly upset. Yeah, yeah, and I get upset you've heard it too There's cases here in the United States where we hear about and they're depicted in films rape cases Where the defense of the men because it's always the men raping women. It's not women raping men The defense is the she asked for it You know that because she was dressed a certain way Then he clearly didn't have any self-control and that I just I just We casein by is confused a woman can be completely and utterly naked naked and not be asked How about having some self-freakin control yeah for the man, you dummy And and have self-control and respect because one of for me this this is just but I'm obviously because I have daughters But even before I had daughters I mean, I will if I'm if I'm walking down the street in LA and I'm alone on the street and Someone come in and it's a woman coming toward me. I will go out of my way to usually just like Give her space or cross the street Mm-hmm because I want if there's anything I want a woman to feel around me I want her to feel safe and a lot of women just being around a guy Don't feel safe and you don't know if the woman you're interacting with was abused by her uncle her dad She's been raped. She's for sure at some point or another been sexualized and treated like garbage because she's a woman Mm-hmm, and and I just the thing about that. I love that she said it. I just That's it's it's a very long fight to change it. Yeah, I know it's nowhere near over now sadly Yeah, but yeah, please let us know if she has other I know she has one called the brown girls guy to beauty which Will do as well maybe when Ashley's here as well But please let us know if there's other stuff other videos like this because that was really good That was really good.
