gender role fails and what they mean by that

is examples where a school tries to enforce gender roles

in a ridiculous way so somebody's we've covered

separately on the show but I think it's worth a mention because it shows you

a particular mindset that i think is troubling in the country

so first of all a senior in North Carolina was just kicked outta for prom

because she wore jeans the school said that she was violating

a dress code but it turned out there actually was no dress code

they just made it up and they punished her for

going slightly against the grain and doing something a little bit different

but that scared the school it scared everybody is scared

at the powers that be and they said you know what fuck you go home

it's really gross display of trying to force gender stereotypes on people

then there's also a 14-year-old boy who was punished for wearing makeup

he's an eighth-grader his name is Chris Martin he decided to wear eyeliner

eyeshadow and lipstick to his last day of school

but administrators told him that he needed to wash

the makeup of because it would be distracting

to other students see stuff like this that really pisses me off because

like so one who cares man the gate that guy wants to wear makeup like what the

fucks a big problem what's the big deal

you know I have to be honest everyone so why when I'm on air here

like a five yr like a an obvious blemish like a red dot on my face or something

article but a cover up daughter right over the top of thatin

n that way he does I don't look like I have a pizza face 1 I'm on air

and then eventually goes on YouTube a few thousand people see it

you know and I'm unashamed to say them an I'm on ashamed to say that in fact I

was in Nam

when I was in high school I had some

pretty wicked acne so I would oftentimes man I woulda

i'd would throw some cover up on it I would I would and

I don't think there's anything wrong with that I really don't know and look

don't get me wrong MI the kind of guy who would wanna throw on a

eyeliner and eyeshadow and lipstick now

in fact I wouldn t I just let I wouldn't do that but

I don't think that I should take away if other guys wanna do that far by all

means man go right ahead

there's a hole like new male makeup industry as it what is it

in South Korea I think it is it's in 10 well like there's one Asian country

where

there are it's like a big thing like guys are always they care deeply now

about their looks n

they wear makeup and they have like a hole like date there into fashion stuff

like that

and like I'm not judging you do whatever man it's fine I'm hurting anybody and if

you want to do we go right ahead

and the idea that like a school in authority figure

can say no we're not going to allow you to do that because some fucking assholes

might be bullies

well as into idea obviously that you should be

correcting the bullies in that scenario like if the bullies act up in the start

making fun of this kid isn't this an opportunity for you to punish them and

say

now you're gonna learn a lesson about tolerance she did shits now you gotta

learn that not everybody's gotta be exactly like your punk ass because

you're kinda boring

but of course in you know we're still we still had a Puritan mindset that there's

a male role in a female role mindset in a manifest itself in gross

acts like this are also

this one we covered in eighth grade girl was told to leave for Christian school

because

she's not girly looking enough I love that one cuz I should totally made-up

like what the it in the biblical days women were you know had shaved armpits

in

shaved vaginas and they had their hair in a perm like no they didn't why you

trying to say all the Bible says you have to be very feminine know you made

that up the tent gender role bullshit

then there's also Nate Greer in kansas who was suspended for wearing a purse

school official said it's against the dress code was a guy wearing a purse

it wasn't against the dress code they also just made that up

and then finally have a 9-year-old boy who was banned from bringing his My

Little Pony back to school

that happened multiple times actually in one case there was a poor kid who

actually tried to commit suicide

because he was being bullied because he you know the kids at school in like is

my little pony: bag

an I mean I guess the whole point of even discussing this and bring it up in

the first place

is that we need to try to get through to people

that the real manly position you know the real macho position

the real position that we should enforce

is a tolerant position you know

I don't get me wrong man I'm not going like Cooper liberal

all I'm saying is if you are in a position of power a few

are in administrator at a school year an official at a school

you know err on the side of of freedom

err on the side of it is what it is issue no

legislate rock no big deal are you dressing slightly different all you're

doing something the slightly out at the gender norm

whatever whatever whatever whatever and then again if there's

their a problem arises you punish the kids who are bullying you punish the

people who are mocking her

you know acting like oh you're so crazy for doing that because

guess what like weed discussed on the show the other day n

there a lot a great fact that we pointed out in the course in making the argument

gender roles are largely bullshit they are

you know like it the idea that pink is a girl color blue is a boy color totally

may not be used to be the opposite

the idea high heels they're just totally exclusively female things except they

started

because soldiers used to wear them for riding horseback because it was easier

for them to get a grip while they're doing archery when they had heels on

and they were originally masculine and only men are allowed to wear them

and now it to all purely a woman thinks all these things we do gender although

purse make up this that it's like

it's largely made up anyway so if you try to enforce it like it's some sort of

a law of nature that you know you're right by trying to put your ideas on

other people

know you're just a douche if you do that it's that simple you're just an asshole

and a non educated asshole at that
