I had another topic but it looks like I will have to save it for tomorrow or possibly even later. To watch the video go to this link
I might add some commentary in the comment section but I think she raises some important points.

@djimirji up!
💡 @mysearchisover received an upvote 99% :)
this idea is oversold.. there are applicable areas of application but it doesn't necessarily always apply. where do we draw the line?
I personally am fed up with the fact that the media and politics these days are infested with 'gender neutrality, 'positive discrimination (which has now been renamed to positive action), equal pay, discrimination etc etc etc Like there is no other important topic anymore WTF. Let it be!!!! I haven't watched TV for over 15 years now. I see that my thoughts and believes are moving more and more away from the mainstream. Like everyone is getting brainwashed consuming mainstream media programs. I still ask myself: who is behind this brainwashing, and what is the goal?
Yeah I think the equal pay is possibly overblown. I don't think you can really start a business and hire women that are as good as men and pay them less. I think there are already laws against unequal pay as well. Did you watch her video though?
Do you watch a lot of Youtube? I like Youtube and think it is MUCH better than TV.
I think an overlooked issue with women is it seems like a lot of them have to work. I don't think that should be the case especially if they have a husband that works. I think our society is wasteful when it comes to money and assets and of course government spending.
I think that equal pay is BS. The government should not decide what a business wants to pay to it's employees. I did watch half of the video, but because of the topic I had to switch it off. And yes, I do watch A LOT of youtube. Beside that I watch movies, TV series (which I download or buy) and documentaries. Nothing else.
You don't think women should get paid the same as men for doing the exact same job?
I don't buy into a gender wage gap, because as @mysearchisover said, there are laws against that. Studies have proven that a wage gap only exists because women tend to take jobs that pay less than the ones men tend to take.
My point in my video wasn't to bring on an aneurism previously caused by the MSM, but to address the very specific concerns I have of the digital feudalism that is Dtube, and the fact that it isn't even like a regular business, where someone makes their own money and gets to decide how to distribute it to their employees.
The money dtube is using to give out upvotes is a loan from @ned, on good faith that they will use it equally. If a woman produces great content, she doesn't deserve less upvote than a man. Not to mention, this only hinders the platforms growth.
I am far from a feminist, but I intend to make Steemit a full time gig, and it burns my ass that I put in the same time and effort as my male companions, and have better quality content, but I get upvoted statistically less, as do my female peers. That's some bullsh*t. But I digress. All I can do is keep on trucking until the price of Steem gets my SP to where I can support myself.
Overall I suppose the laws are good but if it was reversed I don't think it would be a huge deal.
I thought your video was good but I guess I'm about the only one who watched it lol
Maybe you should do a separate harassment video after this video pays out.
You could try using bots.
I'm not thrilled with how the big Dtube upvote pushes everyone into throwing up videos.
I think everyone should get paid according to what they are worth. It does not matter if they are male or female. However I don't think this is something the government should force. I have worked in IT for most of my life. And like you said: women tend to go for jobs that pay less (e.g. social sector etc). The more technical jobs tend to attract more males. However in my country there are quota that for all jobs that at least 1 third of every level of in the organisation should be women. Even if there are no good candidates. And that's some BS.
I think we definitely need to improve on that!!! I think people who run a whole state or whole country like the United States of America should be paid more than a college football coach.
It's messed up when sexism is the law of the land.
For sure. If someone isn't qualified, they shouldn't get a job, or get paid the same as someone who is.
I agree. You forgot to upvote yourself. You could sign up for @dustsweeper. #customerservice lol
I haven't watch the video but like others in this topic I don't watch much t.v. either. I cut the cord a while back. Mostly watch movies and t.v. series.
I have a view on equality that many don't like which in short is ... there is no such thing because NO-ONE is equal.
Short and sweet! lol I think "equality" is overrated. We used to have segregation in the USA which should have ended and I think pretty much everyone agrees should have ended but I have heard even black people theorize they might have been better off with it because right now a lot of stores and businesses are owned by foreigners. I'm pretty sure black people could have started up their own restaurants and stores.
I think everyone needs to better themselves and their community. I think all races and sexes should be doing a lot better. I think even white males in the USA are not doing as good as certain ethnic groups.
@mysearchisover has set 0.100 SBD bounty on this post!
What is a bounty exactly?
A bounty is money sent to a post to be distributed to the users commenting on it. It provides a way to reward users directly and works in addition to the steem/sbd they receive from the blockchain. It works independently of SteemPower.
You create a bounty by sending any amount of sbd/steem to @steem-bounty together with a post-url in the memo.
How can I earn a bounty Users are then competing for the bounty by writing their answers to the post in comments that will achieve upvotes from the community and especially the bounty creator. The money of the bounty gets distributed to all top level comments of the post at the same time when the post is paid out (7 Days after it was written). How much everyone gets depends on the votes the comments received. The sender of the bounties votes are weighted higher so that she decideds where 80% of the bounty money goes and all other votes determine the rest.@steem-bounty does all of this for you automatically. You can use this service to automatically pay out a challenge, ask a hard question or simply to reward the people that interact with you.
