So what does this sign say?
unidentified
I didn't come prepared for a speech, but what is...
And so what does this have to do with International Women's Day in your opinion?
unidentified
Well, I think, you know, not only in America, but also internationally, women face sexual objection as far in a lot of different ways and they aren't represented well or can't represent themselves.
And I think the U.S. should be a leader in that sense.
So I hope that I come here and maybe if it gets a laugh but also gets some attention, then that's the most that I can do at least today.
Could you tell me a little bit about, I'll get a male perspective too, but from a woman's perspective, what does this mean feminism against capitalists and why do you hold up the sign?
unidentified
We hold up the sign because this is basically the umbrella for all of the different sectors.
I assume when someone tells me to f off that they don't want to talk to me.
I don't know.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Believe me, I've hit on people before when I like them and I don't usually tell them to f ⁇ off.

So kind of start with self-care as a feminist act and so I think that's kind of epitomized by RGB.
Like everyone's seen her workout and knows how hard she works so that she stays on the Supreme Court because it's kind of a hostile environment there now.
So I think it's really important that we all take a step back and remember that to do this work, we need to take care of ourselves.
So that's kind of why this is a high quality sign too.
I got to give you credit.
You should keep this on your wall when you're done with it.
That's dope.
I made a sign recently too and I kept it on my wall.
Are you guys aware of fake hate crimes in the U.S.?
Help stop fake hate crimes.
If you're not familiar, recently Google continued to clear an app in their Google Play Store that allows men in Saudi Arabia to track their wives, to track when their passports are used, and to keep tabs on the way and where their location is.
And they won't get rid of it.
What do you think about Google, who's supposed to be a champion of human rights, being illicit in the suppression of women in places that have horrible human rights abuses like the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia?
unidentified
Yeah, I mean, I vaguely heard about that.
I don't know exactly, but I think we've gotten to the point where we shouldn't be trusting giant corporations to do the right thing.
I just don't think that they will between them or Facebook.
You know, a lot of these corporations are out there to make money or, you know, make their stockholders happy.
So as citizens, we can vote with our money or holding our money back as far as where we go.
Just so you know, we really did want to have a conversation and we really are very respectful people and I appreciate your guys' freedom of speech, by the way.
Just so you know.
I actually very much support it.
All right, so we're leaving the International Women's March and we've learned, I left with a magazine about communism, a capitalist forum or an anti-capitalist forum, feminists against a system of patriarchy.
And so I might actually go to this.

Also find ways to donate because we struggle against this fight with YouTube.
They hinder our videos, they throttle our account, they've frozen it, they've deleted views and followers.
And so guys, we need your support and your loyal viewership to continue to do what we do.
We love you guys and we hope you have a good rest of the day.
We love women and we love celebrating their International Day.
