  • Hi! I'm Toby. And I'm Emma.

  • Today we're going to ask questions that parents won't answer.

  • Maybe there's a reason our parents won't answer these questions.

  • That's why we're going to ask complete strangers. Let's do it!

  • Hello, miss, woman, lady. Why are most politicians men?

  • Most men are probably not that honest. Why are most politicians men?

  • Ask him first. Because of sexism.

  • What is sexism? Well, men like to be in charge and so they

  • try to keep women as kind of like their servants a little bit.

  • Men can be more kind. Yeah, I agree.

  • Uhmm... I don't know, maybe because the real power

  • is the women behind the men. You're a very smart lady.

  • Uhmm, most politicians are men because women are scared.

  • Because they are better liars. Why are women scared?

  • Because they're big sissies. Why do you think they're behind the men?

  • Oh, well, because maybe the women know they can get the men to do anything they want.

  • Why are most politicians men? I have no idea.

  • People don't take women seriously. Ok.

  • I just think 'cause it's always been like that.

  • I blame Obama. I'm sorry Barack!

  • Ok, I plead the Fifth. I don't really know. Do you know why?

  • No, that's why I'm asking you. Uhmm, why do you think that?

  • Uhh, why do I think that? Hmm, experience?

  • Why are most politicians men? Because the men, uh, know how to waste their

  • time a lot better than the women do. But do you think a woman would be a nice leader

  • to our country? Yes, definitely.

  • Although I'm a boy, I think women are very cool too.

  • So you think nothing's getting done right now because men are at the plate.

  • For the most part, yes. A lot of egos at play. Do you think woman should run for president?

  • Absolutely, yes. Who runs your house?

  • My dad. Oh.

  • I call him FDR! So, how do you feel about this being a man

  • yourself? I feel pretty good about it.

  • Well, we got the answers we were looking for. And made some adults extremely uncomfortable

  • along the way. Thanks for watching this episode of questions

  • my parents won't answer. What are some questions your parents won't

  • answer? Leave them in the comments.

  • And for more kid on the street shows, subscribe to the FRED channel.

  • Bye!
