- Did you know marginalized people are suffering?
-
- From sexism.
-
- Homophobia.
-
- Classism.
-
- Racism.
-
These are our mothers.
-
- Our daughters.
-
- Our sisters.
-
- Our wives.
-
- And we need to protect their access to equal pay.
-
- Equal rights.
-
- And respect.
-
- Because of their proximity to us.
-
That's it.
-
That's the reason.
-
That's why we care.
-
- Yes.
-
- Yes.
-
- Yes.
-
- When it came to stuff like donating to Planned Parenthood,
-
I used to a very strong no opinion,
-
don't bother me with this bull crap stance.
-
But then I remembered, my sister goes there all the time.
-
Sister.
-
My sister, mine.
-
My own flesh and blood.
-
Someone related to me.
-
Like this wasn't just some random woman, you know,
-
someone you don't care about.
-
This was my sister.
-
I like my sister.
-
That's when I realized.
-
- Come on.
-
- [Sister] No.
-
- Maybe there's some good
-
to this whole women's rights thing.
-
- When I got invited to my first airport protest,
-
I thought no way I'm busy.
-
There's a big game today.
-
But the I remembered, wait my wife
-
is brown.
-
- Yeah it took some convincing,
-
but I finally got through to him
-
that yes, I'm brown,
-
and don't want to be harassed at the airport.
-
- And because she's my wife and for no other reason at all,
-
I'll support whatever discrimination she doesn't like.
-
- I don't like any discrimination.
-
- Now I know what you're thinking.
-
Women are people?
-
But yeah they are.
-
Kinda.
-
They're our friends.
-
- Our cousins.
-
- Our lovers.
-
- Our lovers' cousins.
-
- Our secretaries.
-
- And those individuals by virtue of the fact
-
that we know them and they are therefore in our orbit
-
deserve rights.
-
- Deserve rights. - Deserve rights.
-
- For the most part deserve rights.
-
- Think about it like this.
-
Pretend you don't know a woman.
-
It's pretty easy to say fuck her, she can die.
-
I don't care.
-
But now pretend you do know her.
-
- It's my mommy.
-
- Makes you think doesn't it?
-
- Makes you think. - Makes me think.
-
- Every time we beg for our rights.
-
Every time we march the streets.
-
Just remember I'm a human being that exists in the world.
-
I deserve your respect, your ear,
-
and I'm literally married to you.
-
God Jesus.
