Greetings guys, gals, and non-binary pals and welcome back to another video!
I hope you are well and I hope you are fighting because there's a lot to be fighting for.
Now, in today's video, I'm going to be going over something that has been requested a lot recently.
And that is looking at some more Not Like The Other Girls posts.
Because they're always...
You know, there's nothing like women dragging down other women for validation.
Which, you know, in turn is due to patriarchal reasons, and it's- It's all a big mess,
But, you know, uh, we're gonna look at it anyway and we're gonna talk about it because that's what we do on this channel.
Uh, but before we get into it, I would like to take a moment to say thank you to today's sponsor, Skillshare!
Skillshare is an online learning community with thousands of courses.
Ranging anywhere from financial management, to essay writing, to producing music, to self-care, and journaling.
If there's something you want to learn or spend more time on and improve your skills at, Skillshare has something for you.
A course that I have decided to take recently is a watercolours course, specifically "Transform Daily Objects Into Whimsical Characters"
And the reason I chose this course is because watercolour painting is something that was like really special to me as a child.
It's something that my Grandma did.
My Grandma was an artist and she used watercolours especially,
And when she would come and visit me in New Zealand she would always bring watercolour paints for us and little watercolour notebooks.
And we would go and sit and look at the mountains and paint with her.
And she passed at the end of last year and I received some of her old water paints and watercolour paper,
And I haven't really used them because they don't know what I'm doing and I don't want to like...
Waste my Grandma's paints, you know?
Um, and so I thought that this was a really cool course to do,
And I really, really love the vibrancy and like creativeness of this course, of like, looking at a daily object and turning it into a character.
And that's something I really love, that's something I know my grandma would have loved for me to do,
And it's just a really nice way to like reconnect with that.
I also really like the teacher, Helen Baum, because she's super engaging.
And, uh, it's really creative and she has a really big focus on diversity and inclusivity,
And that's something that's really important to me and that's something I really love and it's something that was important to my Grandma as well,
And so I really love this course and reconnecting with something that was so important to me and so special,
And there are so many courses like this, like I said, ranging from pretty much anything you can think of.
Anything from being like academic to super creative, you will find something.
And it's really nice to just learn a bit more, spend more time enhancing skills that you may have abandoned at some point.
There might be hobbies that you let go of and put down a while ago and want to pick up because you miss them.
That's something I do a lot. I jump to hobby to hobby all the time and really wish I'd worked on something that improved at something.
Which is what I'm doing now, um, and it's just really nice.
And if that's something that you want to do, then Skillshare is absolutely the place for you.
So if you want to try Skillshare out for yourself, then you can use the link in my description and the first 1000 people who use my link will get one month completely free.

So, thank you so much Skillshare for sponsoring this video and thank you to all of you for using my links.
It really helps me out and continues to support me and my channel.
So, thank you. On to the video.
Look at some things some people say.
First up, we have a classic!
We have a tweet from the one and only Kaitlin Bennett.
She realizes how hypocritical this is, right?
Because, she's a woman, so she's saying that "women vote with emotions",
So what are you doing then?
Because you sound pretty upset.
You know anger is an emotion, right?
That's the one that men tend to think with and vote with and act out on.
Anger is an emotion.
Anger is one of the seven emotions.
Happiness, sadness, fear, guilt, shame, anger, love.
The seven emotions.
One of those was anger.
That seems to be the emotion that you're feeling and voting with, so...
A little bit of a hypocritical stance for you to be taking there.
You seem pretty angry that your guns are at threatened, so you're voting...
Because of that.
Because...
Your anger is clouding your judgment.
This entire opinion comes out of an emotion. Everything comes out of an emotion.
I don't know what people don't understand about the fact that emotions...
Are literally just...
Emotions. We all feel things.
Just because you refuse to acknowledge that you're feeling something and dealing with that doesn't mean you're not feeling it.
I have to believe that this is a satire.
There's not a chance this is real.
Because that's the funniest thing I've ever read.
"Women drink beer?!"
"She a good one."
Yeah, why? Because she has no taste buds?
Beer is disgusting. Beer tastes absolutely vile.
It tastes like you get, like, carbonated water and pour it into a glass, and you mix it with like a knife that you use to put Marmite on your toast.
That is what beer tastes like.
Regardless, women drink beer.
No one- no one cares.
No one's clapping for you. Literally, no one care- Calm down.
It is a drink.
Acting like the whole of Twitter doesn't laugh at those jokes.
Literally, everyone- everyone jokes about that sh_t.
Because it's so f_cking ridiculously stupid and immature.
Like, it's 12-year-old humour, and that's what makes it funny.
You are not the only person who does that.
It's definitely not a Reddit exclusive freaking joke.
If you only use Reddit as your social media, I don't trust you.
I'm sorry, I don't trust you. I-
I don't know how Reddit works. I've never used Reddit, I use it purely for videos.
That's the only time I give a go on it.
Um, but it doesn't seem like the best social media or the best place to be.
Maybe that makes you not like the other girls, is only having- only having Reddit.
I feel really called out by that one. That one was a little- that one- that one was-
That one was a little too close to home. Hey!
Hey. Why do they always describe me?
Why am I such a stereotype? I hate this about myself.
They just called me out so hard.
That's fine. What's the other one?
No, that one sounds awful. I don't like that one.
I'd rather be the Stressed Contracepter. I am the Stress Contracepter.
Am I insanely anxious and depressed like all the time? Yes.
But it sounds better than the other one, so maybe we out here winning.
Um, the one thing I will trade is- Can I have the overloaded with serotonin one? I want that one.
Give me that one. You can keep the rest, I don't care, just give me that one.
And the self-care without getting more depressed, I'd also like-
I'd like-
How would he know that's what you're drinking?
Starbucks coffee is not in a clear cup. It's in a paper cup, you can't see it.
Um, and also, they wouldn't- even if they could, they don't know that it has no sugar in it.
And also, Starbucks black coffee?
You want to drink black coffee from Starbucks?
I'm not judging anyone for getting like frappuccinos or whatever. You can get what you like, I don't care, you do you. If that's what you like, go off.
Just, Starbucks in general? It's just not good.
It's just not good coffee. I-
Especially here, I don't know what they put in the oat milk here but it's awful.
I don't know what it is about the oat milk at Starbucks, specifically here.
Disg- It's vile. I hate it.
I do not like Starbucks coffee.
There is only six in the whole of New Zealand because no one likes it.
Just chain coffee, Costa coffee too. Costa coffee tastes like dirt. It tastes like mud.
It's awful. I don't know why it's so popular. It tastes so bad.
I don't care if that's what you drink, fine, but independent coffee shops are so much better.
And you're supporting small businesses.
Just go to an independent coffee shop. It's nine times out of ten gonna be better.
Especially if they roast their own beans.
Um, I don't think as many people do that here though. New Zealand has the highest like coffee roasters per capita in the world.
Everyone roast their own beans. Everyone has their own coffee. You go to a cafe, you can buy their coffee beans.
I need to stop making- looking at posts about coffee because I just- I love coffee too much.
Drink your black coffee, that's fine. I drink black coffee with no sugar, it's fine.
But I don't do it because I think I'm better than people. I just like it sometimes.
Drink what you want. If you want to have a sugary coffee, drink a freaking frappuccino if that's what makes you happy.
Do what you like, doesn't make you better or worse than anyone. We're all just people drinking our drinks.
The whole point of drinking coffee is because it tastes good.
The whole reason you drink or eat anything should be because it tastes good and it makes you happy.
So, if a frappuccino with like 12 pumps of sugar makes you happy, then freaking drink frappuccinos with 12 pumps of syrup.
I don't care and you shouldn't either.
You're not better than anyone for drinking black coffee.
If anything that's really weird.
It's really weird to drink black coffee. I do and I admit that it's weird.
Fishing.
I like that we associate, like, personality of men with, like, killing things.
"Oh, I'm a woman but I like manly things."
"Yeah! Yeah, I kill things because I'm- I'm one of the guys."
That's concerning.
If you associate like manly things with like, murder? Concerning.
Guns, hunting, fishing. Manly.
Uuuuummm.
There's something off about that one.
You know, it's a bit conc- I don't like it.
Bit concerning that one. Not a fan. Yeah.
You know?
Like, all the f_ckin men on Tinder like holding fish?
I don't want to see the thing that you killed. I'm sorry, it doesn't impress me.
I don't know anyone who likes seeing that.
I see you holding a fish? Gone.
You're absolute- you're absolutely gone. Off the tables. No.
I don't care if you can kill things.
Actually, I do care that you can kill things because if I know you kill things, I- I don't have any interest in you.
So maybe, it's a good thing you put it there. That way I know so I can avoid you.
I don't really know what that means though.
"Basically a girl with the personality of a dude." What does that mean?
Every man is different, every woman is different. We all have different personalities, all have different interests and hobbies.
We- We're all different, man. We're all different.
You can't have the "personality of a dude". That's not a thing.
"Me: Green Day, My Chemical Romance, Bring Me The Horizon, all the like emo bands."
"Others: Justin Bieber, One Direction, BTS, BTS again, BlackPink, Billie Eilish."
This is funny to me because this is implying that, um, 2015 emos aren't all Armys now.
You went one of two ways. You either stayed an emo, or you're now into K-pop,
There were- There's two options.
Like almost every K-pop stan was like an emo in like 2015.
Because especially like, BTS, Stray Kids, uh, Ateez.
Because they make emo music.
Their music is super emotional, you know?
BTS and Stray Kids write really f_cking depressing music.
Emos stan BTS.
And Stray Kids.
It's just a fact.
If you were a 5SOS stan? 5SOS isn't like, emo or whatever, but like it -there is like a direct correlation between a few different artists, right?
I find it really interesting.
If you were a Halsey stan in 2015, you were also a 5SOS stan.
Those two are related.
And now you are either Stay or an Army or both.
You can't escape that. That's just true.
If you stan Stray Kids now, you staned 5SOS in 2015. I don't make the rules. That's just how it'd be.
And also Halsey. That's how it be.
I'm sorry. I don't make the rules.
I am the girl on the left.
I will buy makeup if it's on sale, even though I barely wear it anymore.
My first car was a pink car. It was.
And I do not game and I never have.
So...
I- I am most girls.
Um, to quote Haley Steinfeld, that her name?, "I want to be like- I want to be like most girls."
And I am.
Uh, and there's nothing wrong with that.
But also, I don't think that is most girls.
I don't think- I don't think it is. I do- I- I do think that this is not most girls.
Um, also acting as though like a ton of like successful Twitch streamers and stuff aren't women.
Like, some of the most successful streamers are women.
There's so many women gamers, this is not a new thing. This is not new news. You aren't special.
Women are treated really terribly in the gaming community and men are assh_les,
And so there are less women because they don't feel safe or comfortable.
Um but there are a lot of female gamers. You're not special.
It's the same as like, people trying to pretend that women don't like Marvel anymore.
Literally, everyone likes Marvel.
And most people don't like pink cars because they're like, slightly obnoxious.
My car was like, a pale metallic pink.
Um it was a two-door Vitz, or Yaris, or whatever you want to call it.
Uh, and that was my first car because it was cheap and...
It did not go up hills. I had to- If I had like one passenger, I had to avoid hills because it would like go backwards. It was scary.
