00:00 Never get married into a home.

00:06 Never get married into a family.

00:11 Never become the queen of a bedroom or a kitchen or the entire house.

00:26 Just the nest or parts of the nest.

00:31 And don't be so identified with the damn eggs.

00:35 All the time concerned with the eggs, the eggs, the eggs.

00:41 Look at what the market says when it talks of the woman.

00:47 Are there books specific to the woman?

00:49 But look at all the advertisements.

00:51 What are they selling when it comes to the woman?

00:57 Stuff related to the eggs and the body.

01:07 Man might even be sold frequent flyer programs because it travels a lot.

01:14 But woman is always targeted to sell the lip gloss, the bra and egg paint.

01:34 Why aren't the airlines targeting you to sell their frequent flyer programs?

01:40 I ask you.

01:41 Why don't you fly away?

01:44 Fly away from the nest.

01:46 That's your only chance.

02:02 Cars are being sold and the target customer is the man and the woman is being used to

02:13 fix up the car.

02:18 Very few car companies are targeting to sell cars to women.

02:24 Such an insult it is.

02:25 Is it not?

02:27 No car manufacturer thinks that an entire model can be brought out to serve the needs

02:34 of women.

02:35 But the woman is always present in the car advertisement.

02:38 And what is she doing there?

02:41 She is displaying the curves and the manufacturer is saying, "My car is as curvy as this woman".

02:47 All the men come over.

02:53 Be the user of the car, not the doll in the car.

03:01 Learn to be on the driver's seat, not on the rear seat or the seat next to the driver.

03:12 Learn to hold the steering, get out of your nest.

03:22 And don't be so damn particular about your sexuality and virginity and what else.

03:34 All body stuff.

03:36 My biggest asset is my eyebrows and lips and curves and virginity.

03:50 Now what do you expect from life?

03:55 What else will you get except bondage and imprisonment?

04:05 Knowledge must be your asset.

04:11 Strength must be your asset.

04:15 Exposure must be your asset.

04:19 Money must be your asset.

04:24 And overall, truth must be your asset, not your breasts and hips.

04:35 You spend so much time pandering to the needs of the body.

04:47 Spend time enriching yourself.

04:51 Spend time gaining knowledge.

04:53 Spend time skilling yourself.

04:58 Why do we find so few women in science?

05:03 Out of the list of 800 or 900 Nobel laureates, why are there so few women?

05:14 Why are so few women in the science laboratories of the world?

05:21 Where are they in politics, in sports, at least in the developing countries?

05:30 Where are they in literature, in all ways of creativity?

05:41 I will tell you where they are.

05:45 They are there in the nest.

05:47 When man is busy creating a new machine, the woman is busy looking after her eggs.

05:58 Now who will rule and who will be the slave?

06:01 Tell me.

06:04 Tell me.

06:07 And unfortunately, the woman is preparing herself just to receive the man.

06:15 The woman is actually more selfless than the man.

06:19 She is a finer product of evolution than man.

06:22 So the man will be busy enhancing his business or creating a new machine.

06:31 And the woman would be busy taking care of the house and cooking food for the man.

06:37 Now man has done everything for his own personal development.

06:41 He will be called the ruler of the business empire.

06:46 And what is the woman doing?

06:48 Doing the man's laundry and cooking his dinner.

06:54 And he returns more and more empowered every day because 8-10 hours of the day he is working

07:03 in his self-interest.

07:04 He is working to gain money.

07:07 He is working to gain respect, power, strength.

07:11 And what is the woman doing all this while?

07:15 Taking care of the eggs, doing the laundry, doing the meals.

07:21 And then she expects that the man will be honest and kind enough to grant her an equal

07:26 status.

07:28 Why will this exploitative man, as man is defined to be, why will this man ever grant

07:35 her an equal status?

07:39 Why?

07:44 The man is the king.

07:49 And pardon me for being harsh, you are just his concubine.

07:54 You may call yourself as the queen, but you are not.

07:59 A harlot you are.

08:03 The king can throw you away whenever he pleases.

08:17 Be less emotional.

08:20 The emotion is the woman's undoing.

08:25 Don't weep so frequently.

08:32 Mind those tears.

08:34 You think your tears are your strength?

08:37 They are your biggest weakness.

08:39 Curse yourself for weeping out.

08:45 Stay strong.

08:58 Don't give in to emotional traps.

09:01 The man says, "Darling, why do you have to work?

09:06 You stay at home.

09:07 I will work.

09:12 You take care of the bed and the eggs and the babies and your mother-in-law.

09:23 I will bring in the booty and obviously you have equal rights over that.

09:28 My money is your money.

09:30 Never accept this temptation.

09:34 His money is never your money.

09:37 Never ever try to think that his money is your money.

09:40 If you don't earn anything, then you are a beggar and that's all.

09:45 Full stop.

09:46 He might be earning millions, but if you don't earn anything of your own, you don't earn

09:50 anything full stop.

09:54 Emotions, tears, biology, body, nest.

10:02 That's the woman's world.

10:06 And she is so easy to fool.

10:15 Man has been forever fooling the woman and the woman still doesn't want to wake up.

10:28 One feels like worshipping the woman for enduring so much.

10:33 One feels like worshipping the woman for being so willingly exploited.

10:41 And one feels like slapping her hard in the face for being so stupid.

10:51 Her own worst enemy she is.
