00:00Can you name any female athletes?
00:02Athletes?
00:04What?
00:05Do you listen to any podcasts?
00:08By women.
00:09By women.
00:11I'm going to show you two different pictures, and I want you to try to guess which one is the clitoris.
00:15Haha, you guessed it.
00:17Hey y'all, my name is Samir Rahim, and in 2017, I went viral for defending women's rights.
00:22Roll the clip!
00:23I own my body.
00:24My body is not a political playground.
00:26It's not a place for legislation.
00:27A slut is just a word that you and your fellow penises made.
00:31A slut, your mama's a slut.
00:33Your grandma's a slut.
00:34Today, I'm taking back the mic, and it's my turn to ask some men some questions.
00:43What does feminism mean to you?
00:45Like you soft?
00:46Not feminine, but like a feminist.
00:48I wouldn't know, I wouldn't know.
00:50I'm going to be honest, I don't think about that word too much.
00:53Man, I don't really get caught up in that whole feminism stuff, but I'm just looking.
00:59A woman.
01:02A complete woman.
01:03Straight to the point, alright.
01:05I would say understanding, like trying to understand the battles that women face on a daily.
01:12Like me being black, I understand that some people don't understand the challenges that I face.
01:16So I can like apply that to women.
01:18I can say, oh, how can you feel this way, but you can feel this way because you're actually living that reality.
01:22I don't live this reality, but if a whole group of people are saying that, it must be true.
01:26I think, you know, giving women choice to make their own decisions is feminism.
01:33This is a tough question just to put on me at 10am.
01:37The empowerment of women in all facets of life, whether it be socially, financially, emotionally, romantically.
01:45Spiritually.
01:46Spiritually.
01:47Anyway, you can get in there.
01:50It's a bee, it's a bee, it's a bee.
01:51Sorry, Brody.
01:54What the hell?
01:56Long story short, a hive fell on me when I was a child.
02:00Oh, a hive?
02:02Yes, a wasp nest.
02:04If birth control was approved for men, because you know they're working on that, would you be down to take it?
02:09It is probably not something that I would be into.
02:13Well, we respect your honesty.
02:14Why?
02:15When comets blew everything perfectly without the mother f***er side effects.
02:18Yeah, sure.
02:19Why not?
02:20I think it's, you know, kind of crazy that women are the only ones that have to take the hormonal stuff.
02:24Personally, no.
02:25Yeah.
02:26But also, I don't expect a woman that I'm having sex with to be on birth control.
02:31Okay.
02:32I think condoms are great.
02:34I'm trying to get a vasectomy now, but I, you know, I don't, I have not heard back from Planned Parenthood.
02:38I was talking to a friend about it. He said he was reading a research paper one time.
02:42There's like a, like a literal, literal jacuzzi for your balls.
02:45You know what I mean? It makes you sterile, but like.
02:47Just for a little bit.
02:48Yeah, but a ball jacuzzi? That sounds amazing.
02:51When's the last time you stood up for a woman?
02:54Hmm, this week. I'm not going to give an example, but I'll say this week.
02:57I just beat up some people at a party at my house the other day because they touched someone.
03:01So the other day, some creep was after some, you know, was after some lady.
03:05I had to stop that s***, because I mean like, come on, bro.
03:07Period.
03:08And she doesn't want to be bothered.
03:09Some people don't want to be bothered.
03:11I heard that.
03:12Yeah, and what else do you want?
03:14Every day.
03:15Every day.
03:16But I also put them down when they need to be put down.
03:18To struggle with criticism.
03:20We'll just keep going.
03:21I ain't going to lie.
03:23I've been feeling like I needed to do that more.
03:25It honestly makes me feel like less of a man.
03:27If something happens and I don't say nothing.
03:29I mean, especially if I'm near.
03:30If I'm near, you got to do something.
03:32You got to say something.
03:33The last time I stood up was for my little sister.
03:35She was going through a little something.
03:37And yeah, like, I feel like I was there for her.
03:40All right, Keon.

06:05The clitoris is right here, and this one is the female reproductive, the insides.
06:10The second one's a clitoris.
06:11Exactly.
