- I can explain why 78% to the dollar
is not fully accurate description of the gender wage gap.
- It's not a trick question.
- Right, right, I get it, okay.
- Do you?
What is it? - [Man] No, what?
(laughing)
Don't test me now, God.
(chiming music)
- I feel like the word, "feminist," is like a hot word.
I don't think it's a word that I think of and I'm like,
"Oh, pleasantness."
- It's about the equality of both genders.
- Being aware that it isn't an equal playing field
and advocating for that.
- Feminism is my lifeblood.
Yeah, I even wore my shirt today.
- I feel like I'm not super read up on
like what a feminist like is.
- I feel like it's one of those terms
that's been hijacked.
It's become such a trigger word that people think
that it's dirty and that it's bad.
- I like situate them with people who protest
about female rights all the time.
They're very intrusive about their opinions
about certain things.
(piano music)
- I believe I'm a feminist.
I always thought guys and gals were all equal.
- I'm definitely not not a feminist.
- I'm not against them but I'm not like--
- I'm not against feminism.
- The president of the club.
- I will probably get like a 98% because I think there's
2% wiggle room for the internal misogyny that I still hold.
- I feel like you're going to like judge me
no matter what.
- I'm excited to see because maybe I'm not as feminist
as I think I am.
(drumming)
- I would be willing to give up my salary if I had to
so that equal pay in the workplace could be a reality.
What?
Why do I have to give up salary?
- I'm definitely down to give up some portion
of my pay to have some type of equality.
I guess I'm like socialist or something.
I can help but bother when a song
includes misogynistic lyrics,
even when I otherwise like the song.
- Like, it's a song.
- I feel like I'm not bothered.
I don't know whether I'm desensitized.
- You know you don't mind it.
- Yes, I do!
It does actually piss me off.
- You dance to it, though.
- My form of protest is not paying for it.
You can rap and sing about it all you want
but you're not going to get my money.
- I believe it's important to encourage women to negotiate.
I wish somebody would have taken me aside
and taught me how to negotiate.
- I don't know who Bell Hooks is.
- I feel like that should ring a bell.
- I believe Jennifer Lawrence should earn as much
as her male costars.
I think J-Law makes more than her male costars.
- There we go.
- J-Law had to ask.
- That's a boss bitch right there.
I need to be more like her.
- I have taken a woman's and/or gender studies class.
- Yup, yup.
- Have you?
- I have not.
- Really!
- I can define intersectional feminism.
Sorry.
- Nope, sorry.
- I don't read enough.
I should.
- This one.
I believe that women who possess certain types
of privilege are responsible for advocating
for women who don't have their level of privilege.
- I do not think a movie should be released
unless it's passed the Bechdel Test.
I don't know what that is.
- Bechdel Test.
Passing the Bechdel Test would mean
that it has more than two women in it
and they're talking about something outside of men.
- If it's not needed.
- What do you mean, it's not needed?
- I don't know.
- Do you know of a world without no women in it?
- Women should be allowed to apply for a job
if they fulfill 60% of the job requirement.
- I mean, dudes are lying 40% of it
so women should be able to do that as well.
- I wish I could be as confident as like men
who really don't know anything sometimes.
- I believe a woman is a woman
if that is what she calls herself,
regardless of her physical attributes and makeup.
- Agreed. - [Woman] Agree.
- What?!
- Yeah, you got a higher score than me.
- Yeah, but you're not that bad, though.
That's not bad.
- I still passed.
I'm an average feminist.
- Wow, 70?
You love women!
- I do.
- I feel like I'm just so swayed by my own
life choices, my own perspective that I've never
had to really breech that are you a feminist,
aren't you a feminist kind of thing.
- You know, there's some certain terms
and words and tests I don't know
but given time, I think I could have a higher grade.
- Voting for Black rights and woman rights
and all that, all those things intertwine
because you know how it feels to be marginalized.
- My relationship with the word, "feminism,"
has always been kind of tense
because I'm a Black woman and a lot of what feminism
mainly gets at is White women's issues.
At the end of the day, I think that it's important
for us to all come together
if the goal is equality for everyone,
then it's like I need to be a part of that conversation
as well and advocating for what I need
as a Black woman alongside with White women.
- So are you going to tell women on your dates
that you're 70% feminist?
- Yeah.
(laughs)
- Yo girl, yo girl, I'm 70% feminist.
- Just to let you know, I'm 70% feminist.
(laughs)
- I would say, "I'm listening."
