00:00As long as the man is a man, he cannot help any woman.
00:03If a man continues to be a man, he can only be a predator towards the woman.
00:07If I am speaking here, I am not speaking as a man.
00:10I have to keep my gender and sexual identity aside.
00:12Please remember, biologically there can be only one relationship between man and woman.
00:17The man hunts, the woman is the hunted.
00:19And in being hunted, the woman hunts back the man in a passive way.
00:23That's a biological thing.
00:25Irrespective of which level we are talking of, there is just violence.
00:29Somebody is hunting, somebody is being hunted.
00:31A man really cannot help woman.
00:34A woman really cannot help man.
00:36You have to be a human being to help another human being.
00:39And that's a very different way of looking at yourself.
00:41And when, mind you, you are a human being,
00:43it is not only the man or the woman that you help.
00:45Then you help entire existence.
