Hi everybody, welcome back to my podcast. It is thursday june 25th 2020 and it is 4 43 PM in the afternoon in bali's a really windy day. Today it's kind of uh it's also kind of cloudy where I live uh in bali, which is pretty nice, it's actually kind of cold because earlier I had to go to school to do some work and then as I was driving on my scooter, I felt a bit chilly actually. Um Okay, so today I want to talk about something that I don't know, that kind of like that's been on my mind for the past a few days. Um So for this, for the past week I've been watching Rupaul's drag race religiously and I'm I am obsessed with the show. Like super, super obsessed. Now. If you're into watching reality shows, you have probably heard of Rupaul's drag race. It's a show about drag queens competing to be the best of the best and has been around for 12 seasons. So yeah, I know I'm pretty late in watching the show. So basically uh throughout the competition, these queens have to showcase their creativity in makeup wardrobe and of course lip sinking and I'm telling you, they are amazing, they are fabulous there, so glamorous. And the amount of creativity that they pour on each challenge is just cray cray. It's just crazy crazy. Now, I have to admit, the first time a colleague recommended me to watch the show, I was very reluctant. I mean, I've had my fair share of watching competition, reality shows and or reality shows in general, and almost all of them are full of unnecessary dramas. Like honestly, I have enough drama in my life I need to handle, I don't need to see more of that on my laptop screen, but I decided, you know, because I was running out of shows to watch on netflix, um I decided to give it a try and you know, see what the fuss is all about and oh my God, I do not regret that decision at all now, just like any other competition shows with big personality and big hair frictions would happen between the contestants. But one thing that I realized is that no matter how much shade they throw at each other at the end of the day, they always show support and love to one another. And the most important thing is that unlike any other competition shows with the majority of the contestants are women, these queens would throw shade full front at each other's faces and this is one of the reasons why I love the show so much. I mean these queens are savage and very much outspoken. So you can imagine the kind of things that they can say about each other, but instead of trashing other queens and talk smack about them behind their back, they would directly do it to their faces, resolve it and then support them afterwards. Now this has made me think about women um actually because like my brain then starts asking questions like why can't all women be like this? I mean, seriously, let that question sink in for a moment. Okay, now, as much as I hate to admit this, women can be very vicious to one another. It's like there's some kind of twisted ****** up scenario that women have to follow in order to survive, have to be mean with each other. Now, I've had my fair share of being put down by other women and possibly at times I did the same thing, and this is just crazy. I mean, if these queens can have issues with each other but are still able to support each other during difficult times, why can't we why can't women do the same thing? Statistically the percentage of female population in the world is 49.6%. Now, I don't know about you, but to me that's a whole lot of women. If I ask you women a question right now, which of you here have been victimized by other women, chances are that most of you will raise your hand. Same goes with If I asked the question, which of you women here have put down other women in your life, chances are again, most of you will raise your hand. Seriously. This has got to change. I mean, seriously now I've heard and read stories about rape victims that raised comments such as well. If she didn't dress the way she did, that would have that wouldn't have happened or it's her fault because she is very flirty towards men. And sadly most of these comments were made by women. I mean seriously if women can't find solitude and safety at the arms of other women, what kind of a ****** up world are we living in? I mean it's just crazy. I feel like this is something that I feel very passionate about because I've experienced it in the past where I would be put down by other women and again, as I said before, there there are also sometimes in the past where I would also put down other women and honestly this has got to change. Like why can't women support each other? Like seriously, why can't women encourage each other? You know, like instead of just being mean to one another, instead of saying one thing in front of another woman's face and then saying a different thing behind their back, trashing them behind their back, why can't you just say that in front of their face and try to resolve it and try to understand each other and move on from it and support one another. This is something that has bothered me a lot because I feel like this is one of the reasons why when I was growing up, I would rather have guy friends because like even at a very young age, I realized that having friendship with guy friends would create less drama than having a group of women friends. Because you know, chances are that if you are a part of a women's group, right? If your friends, if you have a circle of women um of women friends, chances are not everyone in the group would get along. Like at one point there's got to be a member of that, of that circle that that would come to you and say, oh my God, she so whatever this and that, like she told me this, she told me that she shaded me, She did that, whatever we've, we've all been there, I think, I think it is safe to say that all women have been in that situation and this has got to stop ladies like seriously, this has got to stop its ******* 2020 and Sharon is around and yes, maybe I will die soon, maybe you will die soon, but you know if I, if I were to die tomorrow, I would be very happy to die knowing that I have a group of women friends that support me and that would remind me of my flaws all up in my face and just tell me, listen, I don't like it when you do this blah blah blah, what are you going to do about it and support me in and going through the changes that I'm making? Like I'm happy, if I if I if I die tomorrow and having that group of friends of women um that do that, I would be so happy because it is about time, it is about time that women stop victimizing other women. It is it's about time that women stop being mean to one another, you know and stop putting down one another and instead support each other. And if you do have something to say if there's something about your girlfriend that you don't like just come to her and say it to her um and try to come up with a solution, you know, instead of talking about her, behind behind her back and not being able to find solutions. Just basically adding more drama, adding more tens at the problem, obviously it's not going to create a solution, right? So it's it's just this is just not right. It's about time that Women Support one Another. We are 49.6 Were dominating 49.6% of the world's population. Oh my God, that's a lot of numbers. As a lot of women scattered all over the world, just like Beyonce said, who runs Who run the World Girls? Exactly. And how do you run the world by supporting each other by stop by stop putting other women down by encouraging each other by being there for each other by telling it as it is, say what you don't like about your girlfriend and you know, opening yourself to critiques from your from other fellow women and excel together and figure things out together. I feel like it's about time to do that. And you know, of course I'm not saying this because I'm a better woman than all of you are. But no, it's not that at all, like I still have lots of things to learn, I still have lots of things to figure out. I still sometimes also put down other girls um other women in my life as well. But you know what, I am committed to changing all of that, It is about time that we change all of that. I mean if these fabulous queens at Rupaul drag queens are able to do that, they are able to throw shade at each other full front, at their face, resolve it and move on and support each other. Women can do the same. Thank you. So yeah, a little passionate update for me, but you know, I feel like this is something that I'm passionate about, issues about women and women empowerment and women encouraging other women and all that. Um, so yeah, I may sound a little passionate, but that's only because I am all right. So that's it for me, just a short update. But I hope you guys will enjoy listening to it as much. I enjoyed recording it. Um, see you guys on the next podcast by
