WEBVTT 00:00:00.220 --> 00:00:02.580 How can you date and be married to a woman 00:00:02.581 --> 00:00:07.660 who believes the world would be better if it was ran by only women? 00:00:07.661 --> 00:00:12.240 They also believe that men have completely destroyed this world. 00:00:12.320 --> 00:00:14.020 How does that relationship work? 00:00:14.021 --> 00:00:14.740 It works great. 00:00:14.741 --> 00:00:18.980 Because I also believe that the world would be better off if it was run by women. 00:00:18.981 --> 00:00:20.580 The world leaders in recent history 00:00:20.581 --> 00:00:23.300 who have plunged us into war after war after war 00:00:23.301 --> 00:00:26.460 have been men. The industry leaders who have built our economy 00:00:26.461 --> 00:00:28.580 on the exploitation of the working class 00:00:28.581 --> 00:00:29.320 are men. 00:00:29.321 --> 00:00:32.420 People preventing us from getting affordable health care and affordable housing 00:00:32.421 --> 00:00:34.940 and affordable grocery prices are men. 00:00:34.941 --> 00:00:36.980 So why do I think that women would do a better job? 00:00:36.981 --> 00:00:38.700 Because when given the opportunity, 00:00:38.701 --> 00:00:39.860 they do a better job. 00:00:39.861 --> 00:00:42.900 A really good book to read on this topic is banker to the poor. 00:00:42.901 --> 00:00:45.460 That book outlines how you have very different outcomes 00:00:45.461 --> 00:00:47.460 when women are in charge of finances 00:00:47.461 --> 00:00:49.360 versus men being in charge of finances. 00:00:49.361 --> 00:00:52.780 And these same outcomes show up in every culture around the world. 00:00:52.781 --> 00:00:55.060 If you give the money to the man in the household, 00:00:55.061 --> 00:00:57.500 they are more likely to spend it on alcohol, 00:00:57.501 --> 00:01:00.260 on food for themselves, on clothing for themselves. 00:01:00.261 --> 00:01:03.080 They are more likely to spend it on things that they want. 00:01:03.081 --> 00:01:04.460 They feel like it is their money. 00:01:04.461 --> 00:01:07.380 However, when you give that same money to the woman in the household, 00:01:07.381 --> 00:01:09.140 she is more likely to buy clothes, 00:01:09.141 --> 00:01:11.780 For the kids. She's gonna buy food for the kids. 00:01:11.781 --> 00:01:13.500 She's gonna pay for the kids school fees. 00:01:13.501 --> 00:01:15.540 She's gonna pay for everyone's healthcare. 00:01:15.541 --> 00:01:18.300 She is going to spend that money mostly on the kids, 00:01:18.301 --> 00:01:19.540 but on the family as a whole. 00:01:19.541 --> 00:01:20.980 This isn't a matter of opinion. 00:01:20.981 --> 00:01:23.140 This is just actual outcomes. 00:01:23.141 --> 00:01:24.580 If you give money to women, 00:01:24.581 --> 00:01:26.300 you have better outcomes for the community, 00:01:26.301 --> 00:01:27.540 better outcomes for the family, 00:01:27.541 --> 00:01:28.960 and better outcomes for the kids. 00:01:28.961 --> 00:01:30.460 That might not be true in every household, 00:01:30.461 --> 00:01:31.900 but statistically speaking, 00:01:31.901 --> 00:01:35.020 it is true. Give money to women if you want good outcomes. 00:01:35.021 --> 00:01:37.520 But if women take control of positions in government, 00:01:37.540 --> 00:01:39.460 does that benefit society 00:01:39.461 --> 00:01:42.320 the same way it does when women take control of finances? 00:01:42.321 --> 00:01:43.140 Well, unfortunately, 00:01:43.141 --> 00:01:44.580 there aren't that many examples 00:01:44.581 --> 00:01:48.140 of countries where the majority of the leadership are women. 00:01:48.141 --> 00:01:51.280 But one good country to look at as an example is Rwanda. 00:01:51.281 --> 00:01:53.180 Twenty years ago, there was a genocide in Rwanda. 00:01:53.181 --> 00:01:55.940 And a lot of men did not survive that genocide. 00:01:55.941 --> 00:01:59.620 And a lot of men went to prison because of participating in the genocide. 00:01:59.621 --> 00:02:01.380 And that means for the last 20 years, 00:02:01.381 --> 00:02:06.340 the vast majority of congressional seats in Rwanda have been held by women. 00:02:06.341 --> 00:02:07.940 So let's look at Rwanda's economy. 00:02:07.941 --> 00:02:10.600 This is their G D P. In billions of dollars. 00:02:10.740 --> 00:02:13.000 Men. Genocide. 00:02:13.540 --> 00:02:14.900 Women. What? 00:02:14.901 --> 00:02:18.100 Women being in charge of the government is good for the economy. 00:02:18.101 --> 00:02:20.100 Let's look at infant mortality rates. 00:02:20.101 --> 00:02:25.060 Men. That big spike is The genocide women. Ah. 00:02:25.061 --> 00:02:27.940 It's like a third of what it was before women took charge. 00:02:27.941 --> 00:02:30.340 Maybe that's because the women and government in Rwanda 00:02:30.341 --> 00:02:33.980 put a lot of energy into building a robust healthcare system. 00:02:33.981 --> 00:02:37.460 More than 90% of people in Rwanda have healthcare coverage 00:02:37.461 --> 00:02:38.620 through communal healthcare 00:02:38.621 --> 00:02:41.020 that costs about $2 a year. 00:02:41.021 --> 00:02:41.340 Yes. 00:02:41.341 --> 00:02:45.140 My wife believes that we would be better off with women in positions of power, 00:02:45.141 --> 00:02:48.180 and I agree with her. And how does that affect our relationship? 00:02:48.181 --> 00:02:49.860 It doesn't. She loves me. 00:02:49.861 --> 00:02:52.540 She treats me great. We have a great relationship. 00:02:52.541 --> 00:02:56.100 All it really means is that we hold hands and we walk to the polling place 00:02:56.101 --> 00:02:57.834 and we vote for women every chance we get.
