"Do women not feel safe in most rooms?" It kills me that straight men still don't get this. Rachel made a great point when they brought up emcees that women have to do that all. the. time. Non-binary AFAB person here and that's double the reason to read everyone in the room right away and match the room's energy in order to stay safe. It's exhausting. There's a reason I love being the last one awake at night because that means the only living beings around who are conscious and looking at me are the cats.

Kwesi: "do women not feel safe in most rooms?" Every woman: "YES!" This was one of those realization moments like Keith had with Zach regarding how much pain he felt constantly. I appreciate the humble that happened here. It's a hard truth to hear. In an ideal world women and girls would be free to wear leggings and tank tops without being a "distraction" and could go to any place and not feel unsafe or threatened. But the reality as it stands isn't that. And when it's really shoved up front like this it can be quite jarring but also incredibly powerful because it spreads a knowledge towards people that don't have it. I was really glad for this moment and I was really glad for the way it seemed to leave an impression on Kwesi and likely others as well.

@lakedavies2298 2 жыл бұрын

Do you know what video you’re referring to with Keith and Zach?

@alosialee 2 жыл бұрын

@@lakedavies2298 it was the one where Zach tested out Amazon products advertising as pain relief tools. There was one that was like a prickly mat that you lay on to alleviate back pain and Zach used it and it felt nice to him and Kieth tried it like Zach and when he got up again he asked Zach something along the lines of "wow and your pain is worse than this?" And Zach was just like yep to which it seemed to kinda blow Keith's mind. It was a good episode actually. I enjoyed it a great deal in particular that part. Chronic pain sucks and when you have pain every day with some days being just really bad... it's so relatable. People who don't suffer that kind of constant pain don't really get it until they can have an experience like what they had in the video to where it can be presented tangibly. The same happened here with kwesi. It was presented in a tangible form that he could identify with in some way.

@tinyfroghag 2 жыл бұрын

I think it’s something that most cis men don’t really think about, because quite frankly they don’t have to. It’s really heartwarming to see the lightbulb when cis guys have that realization tho, because it means going forward they’re going to try to do their part in making the women around them feel safe. Like my husband for example: when he’s out in the world alone, he makes a conscious effort to not follow any woman too closely and even crosses the street to create space between them so that he doesn’t chance making her feel unsafe in his presence. And it makes me love him so much more knowing he’s listened to my fears as a woman as is using that knowledge to help other women he encounters in his life. It’s not fair that i feel like i have to intentionally dress as slovenly as possible to be left alone in public when I’m by myself, but it’s an unfortunate reality. I just had my reasoning for doing this reinforced literally two days ago when i went into the gas station to grab a drink after dropping my husband off at work and had this man that looked old enough to be my father follow me around the gas station then eventually tell me how “sweet” i looked before asking if an attractive girl like me was traveling alone this late at night🤢 i obviously lied and said my husband was in the car because my alarm bells were dinging frantically, but this is shit women have to deal with on literally a daily basis. It was honestly heartbreaking because i felt so cute that day, but that interaction made me feel dirty and gross. Guess its back to sweatpants, messy buns, and no makeup again😞

@alosialee 2 жыл бұрын

@@tinyfroghag what I love most about these lightbulb moments is that it really shows humanity as it is. We don't know everything from every perspective. But we can have a moment in which we can find an explanation that allows us to relate or identify with others perspectives and experiences. We all have these moments and we really ought to embrace them because these are the moments that make us better human beings towards other human beings. A good example for me is the BLM movement. I'm a pacifist by choice. I value life in all of its forms and describe it as something that is sacred and should be treated as such. While I choose to be a pacifist I'm also aware that defense is sometimes necessary. As they say do no harm, but take no shit. That said when the black lives matter movement began back in 2016 I couldn't wrap my head around it. I was very much in the parade of all lives matter. And while my intentions weren't to be harmful sometimes the things we do with the best of intentions can lead to the worst of harms. In 2020 I saw a comic strip that used an analogy to explain black lives matter, and all of a sudden it clicked for me. It was presented in a way I could identify with and as a result I've since switched my rhetoric. We all do things in ignorance and lack of understanding. It is one of the key factors that make us all human. And it is those lightbulb moments of real understanding and realization that help forge better paths for us all. You don't have to be "woke" to advance. You just have to be willing to learn better.

My godfather is a drag queen, I have more uncles and aunts than I can count who tick basically every possible box on the gender binary. So as someone who was literally raised to view queer culture as the norm, who had to realize that straight people existed, I just wanted to say that even in the twenty years I've been alive the fact that we can sit and have these conversations on youtube now, and half a million people will watch it in a day, that's bigger steps than I think any of us could possibly imagine when I was a baby and that's simply incredible.

@@WhatIsItToBurn Well, we will never know what would happen with a men's rights movement because they have never needed one. The feminism movement is for everyone, meaning that anyone who knows a woman, came from a woman, loves a woman etc will all benefit from women's rights. It's about being equal, not above. Men who feel they wouldn't benefit from equality are the ones who feel women are less than. Not saying this is you, if indeed you are a man, just saying that women's rights equates to rights across the board for everyone.

Kwesi: "do women not feel safe in most rooms?" Every woman: "YES!" Most males will never know the feeling of having to be on guard all the time. Walking down the street alone, wondering if the footsteps approaching indicate danger, do you turn around, do you just run, are you holding your keys between your fingers/do you have your finger on the pepper stray nozzle. If you are at a club or at a party, do you have 100% control over your drink at all times, you turned away from it, did someone put something in it. You accidently make eye-contact with a stranger at the market/on the bus, now they are following you around/try to sit with to you because they think the eye-contact = flirting. Getting off an elevator on the wrong floor because the only other person on the elevator keeps staring at you or keeps sliding closer to you. As a child it is drilled into girls to always be vigilant, know your surrounds, be on guard at all times because you never know when someone is going to try to hurt you.

Rachel's last question is an important one because it brings to the table something that's very important. The younger generation is beyond fortunate that they are being brought up in a more "socially" accepting world (politically it's still a mess). That is something a lot of us did not have. We didn't have safe spaces. Safe conversations. We have to be careful and protect our safe spaces. Protect our LGBTQ+ youth at all costs. And LGBTQ + youths will have to responsibility to continue the work to move us forward without holding on to resentments for the things their LGBTQ+ youth will have that they didn't have. The same way we shouldn't hold resentment for the things that LGBTQ+ youth have today that we didn't have. We should be proud that we fought, endured, persevered, and survived so that they didn't have to go through what we did. So that they can have fulfilling lives without having to endure the traumas that we did. Don't hold resentment for what we didn't have that they do, be proud that we helped forged the spaces that they can enjoy and thrive in now.

Too, when Kwesi talked about growing up with people in his community telling him not to be like RuPaul (so like, not to act queer or feminine). Absolutely love Kwesi's "I know who the fuck I am" there

I've been rewatching a whole bunch of try guys videos recently, trying to find new videos to replace other ones as comfort videos. This one is absolutely taking the top spot. I actually have never watched it, and I'm so glad I found it now. This is the stuff I want to see - education and human moments - learning about other peoples lived experiences, especially when they're different from your own. Videos like this one is the whole reason I started watching The Try Guys in the first place. It's nice to be reminded of just how awesome they are.

“Is it like girlfriend but a little bit gay?” BEST LINE 🤣

Lol! I am a devout watcher of Rupauls drag race and a fighter for love is love is love. I’ve heard “Squirrel friend” a thousand times before, but I thought that it literally was just a term for “girlfriend” used in gay culture. I learned something today! This whole conversation was brilliant!

Not gonna lie, this brought me to tears and not just from hearing the late, great Chi Chi DeVayme’s name. Why can’t we all just be and let others, just be? I freaking love this! Thank you so much for doing this Eugene! 😢👍🏾

“She don already had herz” meant that the person of interest has already been resolved…because RuPaul said she got inspired from a lady from Waffle House when she reside in Atlanta and heard a wait staff saying that line in passing…you can thank me later 😄😄😄😂

As a gay woman I’ve never watched RuPaul’s drag shows. I appreciate and love how much it is part of gay culture, but it’s never been my thing and that’s completely fine. Some of my straight friends who have watched the show wonder why I haven’t because I’m gay, but it’s just not my thing. However I support the art of it all and love all the queens that I’ve come to stumble upon.

Just curious, do they only watch the U.S. version, or do they watch the several other international franchises?

This is something I've wondered. Do gay women feel slighted that the misogynist mainstream has only really seemed to accept gay male culture? Is there even a desire for more equal representation? The L Word exists, but I would wager that far more people know of Queer Eye, Will & Grace, and RPDR (of course) than anything primarily featuring lesbians, especially now that Ellen has been "cancelled."

yah as a queer woman I have struggled a bit with what my relationship to drag culture should be...very much admire the hustle and think it's cool how big it's gotten and how meaningful it is to many in the queer community, but it does not scratch the deep itch I have for cultural touchstones on a similar level for lesbian/wlw/wlnb folks

Everyone else's reaction to Kwesi just finding out that women don't feel safe in most rooms is so real. No one takes it seriously. I love this series so far. Reminds me of me and my friends philosophizing after several rounds of drinking in someone's home.

One of the greatest moments of my life was getting my super conservative mom to watch an episode. Her: "so, these are...men...dressed up...as...women?" Me: "...for the 5th time, yes." She was so confused and bible panicked into wondering if I was somehow a lesbian and coming out to her (I wasn't and I'm not). L-O-friggin' L. It was a grand old time. I really like that maybe the latter half of my generation and certainly the ones behind that can watch a show like this and just watch it because it's entertaining and not focus on it being "a gay thing," or something worse in their minds. I started watching because I love make-up and hair and fashion, and creative souls and this was all of that and more. I may not convert my mom to a fan, but she at least had the experience and can form an opinion on it from a place of some knowledge, and maybe not be so uptight when someone mentions drag in an actual sentence.

I love the origin of She Done Already Done Had Herses. Ru was at McDonald’s and another customer tried to claim extra food that didn’t belong to her. The cashier was like “Nuh uh she done already done had herses!”

I had a lot to say but let's just say that this is my absolute dream. And kinda my nightmare, 'cause being drunk and and explaining one of the most intrinsic parts of queer culture to STRAIGHT people is not really my thing. So kudos to Eugene, Mayhem, and Arisce for doing this! Proud of you guys ❤️
