1 00:00:08,750 --> 00:00:16,750 Gender inequality is discrimination on the basis of sex or gender, causing one sex or gender to be routinely privileged or prioritized over another. 2 00:00:16,750 --> 00:00:22,750 Treatment toward women in the music and cinematographic industries has shown some improvement but still has a long way to go. 3 00:00:22,750 --> 00:00:25,750 Both continue to be male-dominated industries. 4 00:00:25,750 --> 00:00:32,750 Regarding the music industry, to the average listener, this may not seem to be the case, as they might see lots of female artists at the top of the charts. 5 00:00:32,750 --> 00:00:38,750 However, when you look at the data, you'll see that women are seriously being left out of the equation across the industry. 6 00:00:38,750 --> 00:00:44,750 As a cinematographic industry, discrimination towards women is more striking in the gender pay gap. 7 00:00:44,750 --> 00:00:53,750 Despite all the differences that we could continue to highlight, in our presentation we've decided to talk about the sexist questions that female celebrities receive at interviews. 8 00:00:54,750 --> 00:01:01,750 Firstly, Taylor Swift did an interview for an Australian radio station after releasing one of her albums in 1999. 9 00:01:04,510 --> 00:01:10,709 Oh, you know, like, she just writes songs about her ex-boyfriends, and I think, frankly, that's a very sexist angle to take. 10 00:01:11,010 --> 00:01:12,409 No one says that about Ed Sheeran. 11 00:01:12,829 --> 00:01:14,189 No one says that about Bruno Mars. 12 00:01:14,310 --> 00:01:20,909 They're all writing songs about their exes, their current girlfriends, their love life, and no one raises a red flag there. 13 00:01:21,189 --> 00:01:21,569 It's true. 14 00:01:22,390 --> 00:01:31,689 As we have seen in this video, Taylor expresses her displeasure towards how similar lyrics about feelings and relationships in different songs are perceived differently 15 00:01:31,689 --> 00:01:34,730 according to whether they are written by men or women. 16 00:01:35,329 --> 00:01:38,409 When written by men, people tend to praise them for their hard work, 17 00:01:38,709 --> 00:01:41,090 while a woman is labeled as crazy and dramatic. 18 00:01:41,650 --> 00:01:45,370 This is because in our society, those men who have lots of relationships 19 00:01:45,370 --> 00:01:47,569 are seen as successful and charismatic. 20 00:01:48,109 --> 00:01:51,689 Meanwhile, we criticize women for doing just the same thing. 21 00:01:52,950 --> 00:01:57,709 In this next video, we are going to see questions that are totally out of context at music awards, 22 00:01:58,129 --> 00:02:00,489 with the examples of Rihanna and Taylor Swift. 23 00:02:01,689 --> 00:02:03,689 What are you looking for in a man now? 24 00:02:03,689 --> 00:02:05,689 I'm not looking for a man. 25 00:02:05,689 --> 00:02:07,689 Let's start there. 26 00:02:07,689 --> 00:02:10,689 You're going to walk home with more than maybe just a trophy tonight. 27 00:02:10,689 --> 00:02:11,689 I think lots of men. 28 00:02:11,689 --> 00:02:13,689 I'm not going to walk home with any men tonight. 29 00:02:13,689 --> 00:02:17,689 I'm going to go hang out with my friends and then I go home to the cats. 30 00:02:17,689 --> 00:02:23,689 In this case, we can see how both Brianna and Taylor Swift are as about men rather than being as about their music careers 31 00:02:23,689 --> 00:02:27,689 or congratulated for winning or being nominated for their hard work. 32 00:02:27,689 --> 00:02:36,110 It looks like society only wants to meddle in celebrities' private lives, especially in women's, as if our value depended on having an amazing man by our side. 33 00:02:36,710 --> 00:02:43,949 It shows how society has taught us that men and women are meant to be together, as we consider this type of nosy questions as something normal to ask. 34 00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:53,159 In this next video, we'll see a fragment of an interview made to Scarlett Johansson and Jeremy Renner to promote the movie The Avengers. 35 00:02:55,419 --> 00:02:57,919 Now, were you able to wear undergarments? 36 00:02:58,780 --> 00:03:00,159 You're like the fifth person that's asking that question. 37 00:03:00,159 --> 00:03:01,159 Well, no, because it – 38 00:03:01,159 --> 00:03:02,979 What is going on? 39 00:03:02,979 --> 00:03:06,840 What – since when did people start asking each other about – in interviews about their 40 00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:07,840 underwear? 41 00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:09,840 No, because it is such a skin-tight – here's why. 42 00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:11,340 I'll leave it up to your imagination. 43 00:03:11,340 --> 00:03:12,340 Oh, see. 44 00:03:12,340 --> 00:03:13,340 Okay?

50 00:03:19,340 --> 00:03:22,439 To ask somebody what kind of underpants they wear? 51 00:03:22,439 --> 00:03:23,439 I didn't ask you what kind. 52 00:03:23,439 --> 00:03:25,740 You just asked me if I was wearing any. 53 00:03:25,740 --> 00:03:26,740 Could you? 54 00:03:26,740 --> 00:03:27,740 No, what do you wear underneath? 55 00:03:27,740 --> 00:03:28,740 Could you? 56 00:03:28,740 --> 00:03:29,740 He's a – 57 00:03:29,740 --> 00:03:30,800 Do you wear clothes?

67 00:03:41,340 --> 00:03:42,900 I mean, gosh. 68 00:03:43,259 --> 00:03:43,960 Ask Joss. 69 00:03:44,780 --> 00:03:45,539 I did. 70 00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:46,759 I did ask him. 71 00:03:46,759 --> 00:03:48,180 You asked Joss what kind of underwear he wears? 72 00:03:48,300 --> 00:03:49,560 No, no, no. 73 00:03:50,219 --> 00:03:52,180 What kind of interview is this? 74 00:03:52,979 --> 00:03:56,460 Although now we can be horrified by these types of questions, 75 00:03:56,460 --> 00:03:59,120 they have been asked more times than we can imagine. 76 00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:06,139 No one would ever think of asking about other people's underwear, so why do we normalize these kinds of uncomfortable questions? 77 00:04:06,780 --> 00:04:10,240 Scarlett Johansson has suffered this type of discrimination more than once. 78 00:04:10,639 --> 00:04:15,159 In her interviews, she is commonly asked about the diet she follows and the clothes she wears, 79 00:04:15,419 --> 00:04:19,839 while her peers are asked really interesting questions related to their acting careers. 80 00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:28,040 In this next interview, we are going to hear a really nosy question asked to Keira Knightley after she had just won an award. 81 00:04:36,889 --> 00:04:43,370 in case you haven't heard it the question was how do you balance your 82 00:04:43,370 --> 00:04:47,129 career with having a personal life this question may not strike us as 83 00:04:47,129 --> 00:04:50,170 completely sexist especially coming from another woman 84 00:04:50,170 --> 00:04:53,449 however some assume that a woman belongs in a household and that enjoying 85 00:04:53,449 --> 00:04:56,250 professional bliss would therefore make them too busy to 86 00:04:56,250 --> 00:05:00,329 perform the household duties usually ascribed to their gender as we 87 00:05:00,329 --> 00:05:03,689 have seen on many occasions it is always the woman who receives 88 00:05:03,689 --> 00:05:08,189 questions about how she combines her work with childcare, although it is not a task 89 00:05:08,189 --> 00:05:10,750 that belongs only to the female gender. 90 00:05:10,750 --> 00:05:15,149 We have such an internalized concept of motherhood that when we see something out of the ordinary 91 00:05:15,149 --> 00:05:17,089 we tend to criticize it. 92 00:05:17,089 --> 00:05:23,129 Overall, even though society's mindset has changed over the years, as we have just shown 93 00:05:23,129 --> 00:05:25,589 you, there are still some aspects to improve. 94 00:05:25,589 --> 00:05:31,329 Machism and sexism both persist in our subconscious as a legacy of past ideologies, which is why 95 00:05:31,329 --> 00:05:36,750 we normalize demeaning attitudes towards women. In the cinematographic music industries, women 96 00:05:36,750 --> 00:05:43,050 still suffer from gender discrimination. Society still objectifies them, giving them only a sexual 97 00:05:43,050 --> 00:05:48,069 or maternal image, not allowing them to develop as professionals in their respective careers. 98 00:05:48,769 --> 00:05:53,889 Their value is reduced to a mere image, since society demands more from them than from anyone. 99 00:05:54,649 --> 00:05:59,449 We have chosen to reflect this issue from the point of view of celebrities because they are 100 00:05:59,449 --> 00:06:04,490 influential people who are important enough to fight against these injustices, as we have seen 101 00:06:04,490 --> 00:06:09,709 in the videos. Not until an issue is voiced publicly is there an attempt to eradicate it.
