00:07:26
|
|
| What is a father? | |
| Does it have to be a male? | |
| Does it have to be a man? | |
| Or can a father be anybody? | |
| Yeah. | |
| I view her as like my dad in a way. | |
| Okay. | |
| So. | |
| So Father's Day doesn't have any gender? | |
| Not to me, no. | |
| I view her as like my Father's Day figure. | |
| Can a woman be a father? | |
| Yeah, you're not. | |
| Um, yes. | |
| Yeah. | |
| I definitely think so. | |
| They can't? | |
| I mean, yes. | |
| Um, they. | |
| Yeah. | |
| Yeah? | |
| Can a woman be a father? | |
| A mother can definitely be a father. | |
| Just whatever you want a father to be. | |
| There's no specific criteria that makes a father a father? | |
| Not really, no. | |
| What about a mother? | |
| Mother? | |
| Well, to me, my mom is just the one who gave birth to me. | |
| Oh. | |
| Yeah. | |
| Is there a specific name for that? | |
| Like, is there any category of people who give birth? | |
| Uh, biologically females, but it doesn't have to be. | |
| Happy Father's Day! | |
| We're here in Clearwater to see if people even know what a father is and if we should just get rid of Father's Day altogether because it's super offensive. | |
| Let's find out. | |
| So is there anybody you want to say happy Father's Day to? | |
| Yes, to my dad. | |
| He's the best dad in the world. | |
| Do we have the same dad? | |
| My dad's the best dad in the world. | |
| I don't think so. | |
| I'm not sure. | |
| I don't know. | |
| You never know, right? | |
| You never know. | |
| What is a father? | |
| What is a father? | |
| A father is somebody that has a kid, responsible of a family. | |
| Right? | |
| That could also be a mother. | |
| A mother, yeah. | |
| Uh-huh. | |
| Yeah. | |
| So what is the difference between a mother and a father? | |
| I don't know why. | |
| It's not a trick question. | |
| I don't know. | |
| I don't know. | |
| I can't answer that. | |
| What makes a father not a mother? | |
| Oh, I don't know either. | |
| What is a father? | |
| Well, personally to me, my father is my dad. | |
| Yeah. | |
| But also, I have other people who like filled that father role for me and other aspects. | |
| But just whatever you want a father to be. | |
| There's no specific criteria that makes a father a father? | |
| Not really, no. | |
| What about a mother? | |
| Mother, well, to me, my mom is just the one who gave birth to me. | |
| Oh. | |
| Yeah. | |
| Is there a specific name for that? | |
| Like, is there any category of people who give birth? | |
| Biologically females, but it doesn't have to be. | |
| If they want to celebrate on Father's Day, they can do that too. | |
| Right. | |
| We don't have to get rid of it. | |
| Even though they're not men. | |
| If they consider themselves as a father, then Father's Day would be for them too. | |
| Technically, to me, she is a father. | |
| What a father is, is someone who's there for their kids. | |
| I mean, teaches them things right from wrong. | |
| That's her. | |
| Is there anything that separates a father? | |
| Like, what is specific about a father? | |
| What makes a father a father? | |
| I mean, someone that teaches them, like I said, right from wrong, you know, just teaches them morals, values, how to change your oil. | |
| She does all of that. | |
| Well, isn't that just a mother? | |
| Because you're using she pronouns. | |
| I'm mom. | |
| I mean, I'm mom. | |
| I do the motherly things. | |
| She does the fatherly thing. | |
| Now I'm really hungry. | |
| You know, I do have to feed my bodyguards, guys. | |
| So if you could help me out with this, I mean, look at this guy. | |
| He doesn't just eat a kid's meal for $5.99 at McDonald's. | |
| Okay? | |
| We're going to get him some steak. | |
| We're going to get him some seafood. | |
| We're going to fill him up because he does such a good job. | |
| To help feed this guy, go to patreon.com slash Caitlin Bennett. | |
| Even just $5 a month helps put some food in your belly, doesn't it? | |
| Sound like I'm a starving African child. | |
| You are starving African tired and the only way you can get food in his belly is going to patreon.com/kaylafinance. | |
| Can anybody be a father? | |
| I guess so, yeah. | |
| Like some people are a mother and a father, like single moms. | |
| Sure. | |
| Are they mothers and fathers? | |
| Are they just single mothers? | |
| They can fill both roles. | |
| Like, you know, they can do like, you know, baseball games and stuff and take the dad role. | |
| Sure. | |
| Yeah, they can take the dad role, but they're not dads, right? | |
| I guess. | |
| No, I mean, I don't know. | |
| It depends on how you interpret it, I suppose. | |
| How do you interpret it? | |
| That anybody can be whatever they want to be. | |
| Anybody can be whatever they want to be. | |
| That's interesting. | |
| How's that work? | |
| Because I don't care how people identify, and that's their own concern. | |
| Can a woman be a father? | |
| Yeah, I know. | |
| Yes. | |
| I definitely think so. | |
| They can? | |
| I mean, they. | |
| Yeah. | |
| Yeah? | |
| Can a woman be a father? | |
| A mother can definitely be a father. | |
| Sometimes, you know, depending on a particular situation, a mother may have to be considered mother and father. | |
| Can she do a fatherly thing? | |
| I mean, what is a father? | |
| I mean, a role model, somebody that you look up to, right? | |
| Yeah. | |
| And has no gender? | |
| To me, no. | |
| No. | |
| No. | |
| You think to everybody that's how it is? | |
| There's lots of mothers out there that are single mothers who play both roles. | |
| Right. | |
| But are they fathers? | |
| Yeah. | |
| If they're single, dad's not around, not there. | |
| That makes them a man? | |
| That makes them a father? | |
| No. | |
| I mean, not a man, but it gives them the father role. | |
| Do you think women can be fathers? | |
| Yeah. | |
| Yeah, I know some of them. | |
| How's that work? | |
| I don't know. | |
| They just do their handle their part. | |
| When the dad ain't there, they just do their thing. | |
| But they're just super moms then. | |
| They're not dads, right? | |
| Super moms, you know, I got one of them. | |
| Yes. | |
| I got a super mom, you know what I'm saying? | |
| So happy Super Mother's Day to your mom, number one. | |
| Shout out, B. Jones, Brandy. | |
| You know what I'm saying? | |
| I love you, mama. | |
| Who cares what other people do? | |
| Who cares if there's drag queens on Nickelodeon? | |
| If you don't like it, don't let your kids watch SpongeBob, right? | |
| I guess, yeah, if that's how you want a parent, it's about the being there. | |
| Like, it's about the person who's there. | |
| I celebrate Father's Day because I was a single mom for a long time. | |
| And I was like, oh, it's my day too. | |
| You're a father too? | |
| Yeah, I'm a mother and a father. | |
| Both roles, because it's just me and baby. | |
| Blues. | |
| Now he's in the picture. | |
| What is a father? | |
| Sperm door? | |
| That's kind of what I'm out here asking today: is what is a father? | |
| Does it have to be a male? | |
| Does it have to be a man? | |
| Or can a father be anybody? | |
| Yeah. | |
| I view her as like my dad in a way. | |
| Okay. | |
| So. | |
| So Father's Day doesn't have any gender? | |
| Not to me, no. | |
| I view her as like my Father's Day figure. | |
| It's Father's Day on Sunday. | |
| Did you get your dad a gift? | |
| Yes. | |
| You did? | |
| Yes. | |
| You got him a shirt from LHMarch.com and you used the discount code July4 for 20% off. | |

|
|
| And you got your 4th of July shirts there too, didn't you? | |
| Yes, I did. | |
| Yeah, yeah, you did. | |
| Awesome. | |
| Okay, you also got your pride shirts there too. | |
| I got my pride shirt. | |
| Yeah, we're proud over here. | |
| Pride month. | |
| Okay, anyway, big hard-inning question for Father's Day. | |
| What is a father? | |
| It's my dad, and he loves me a lot. | |
| Yes, he does. | |
| He got divorced, though, so I don't know if he loves my mom, but, you know. | |
| I'm sure he does. | |
| Yeah, to some extent, you know. | |
| Yeah. | |
| Sorry. | |
| I think he likes his new 25-year-old girlfriend more. | |
| I feel like that in a relationship when you have all those, you know, different perspectives, I feel like that a female may want to turn, you know, go to the other side. | |
| And I feel like that we should give her the same or her the same respect when she turns over. | |
| And if she wants to have a kid, we should celebrate her as a father. | |
| And it should be Father's Day for everyone. | |
| It shouldn't just be about gender. | |
| Yeah, because aren't they choosing their gender, right? | |
| Can you choose your gender? | |
| Clearly. | |
| Well, so I'm old school. | |
| You can? | |
| Yeah. | |
| I mean, look at it. | |
| I mean, everybody, I'm born a female, and if I wanted to change my gender, I can't. | |
| How? | |
| Surgery, what are all the other extra stuff that they do? | |
| Well, there's a difference between men and women in biology. | |
| Oh. | |
| A man and a woman, that's gender. | |
| And gender identity is something totally different. | |
| I mean, there can be women that can be like, as a like male figure, kind of in a way. | |
| Like that take on that role. | |
| You don't think men should? | |
| Men can. | |
| I don't know. | |
| I mean, just to raise a kid with good morals, respect others. | |
| Isn't that a mother? | |
| Yes. | |
| So what is a father? | |
| I mean I just said I don't know. | |
| Shouldn't ever abolish Father's Day because you know like God he's our father and all that you know it's just he's everybody's father in reality you know and I just think why would you abolish that? | |
| I think everybody has to have someone to look up to and and I think just Being in the system, we've worked with foster care before and I think that it's important for boys especially to have a strong male role model. | |
| Who's smoking the devil's lettuce out here? | |
| I don't know but I'm jealous. | |
| Do you smell it? | |
| I think I see the culprit. | |
| I think he's got it. | |
