off or try to work their positions on nights and weekends to top it all off men are leading the charge to eradicate women's reproductive rights. and turning to politics sexism is once again on the ballot democratic vice presidential candidate and senator camilla harris was dealt the hand of being black am female meanwhile daring to run for high office no racist and talk radio giant rush limbaugh appeared in attack on harris in a recent essay from the right wing news outlet the american spectator saying quote it is no secret but public knowledge that comma here is slept her way up into california political life by being a very public escort and matches for california democratic kingmaker willie brown. amazon was even selling joe in the hope campaign t. shirts. the civil rights movement and activists of present aren't immune from sexism either women even in police brutality instances black women are also victims but their murders don't get the attention that males to after all we're still

fighting for justice for briana taylor equality women's rights and the fight against sexism see never ending it's time we start watching the hawks. if you want to what's going on a city the streets you want to. undersell you. see the prices you always stay on see. mass graves see this sleaze systemic deception is complete show which. some big deal. and we're all going to watching the hardest. and i mean and joining us today to discuss women and equality we're joined by the co-host of. our to you america sports producer regina hammer on the professor of african-american history at george washington university brittany lewis thank you all 3 for coming on and joining us today for how things are. going to we're going to go ahead and get

started britney i am going to do a wrap around here so everybody gets to answer this one can women's equality truly be achieved and why is it so hard to move the needle forward on gender equality. she said you know i'm i'm going to stay yes and i'm going to say that as long as we continue to fight for it can be achieved but the reality is he is still with us today and we see it and we continue to fight it expression with the times so i'm excited about the progress that we're going to continue to me and sarah what do you feel about it do you think that women's equality is moving forward i think it is and i think it has changed but i think it we still have a long way to go unfortunately we still live like britney said in a very patriarchal society where you see the women doing majority of housework and that sort of. things of course men are stepping up more but i hope that we are going toward about road at least that's what it seems like and i think to echo what everybody is saying i think it's because we still have this traditional gender

roles where men are typically the breadwinner and women are typically the homemaker isn't until we break that and make it where women get equal pay for the same job that a man can do and then the men can be less discouraged from doing housework because there's still a stigma about men that do housework for some strange reason we're not going to be able to afford but i think we're getting there it's just sometimes we feel like we're in a slog and we need we don't know how to get out of it i mean i think part of what plays into the slaughters is you look sexism has been on full display in the 2020 presidential election but we also saw back in 2016 in the presidential election you see a lot of local works and especially. and you know we see it on a regular basis where we see attacks on people like that and other women who hold high levels of positions in our government. you know if it's happening at the highest levels of elected service in the united states is there hope for every day women you know and what can the government do to help curb the sexism is still

running rampant in our society and i think a lot of it needs to start with the fact that women in power should not be a threat and i think that's where the paycheck he feels threatened is that women are in a position of power we have the decision to be able to make a wide range of laws for men for so long and have the ability to decide what our reproductive lights our rights are what we're allowed to do you look at title 9 things like that were decided by predominately male lawmakers and i think men are afraid of that power being taken away from them and given to women what we might do which is a war is not a quality you you want to have our response whatever we can do why can't you accept the same i think that's where part of the issue lies i think a lot of the problem much like regina said is that you know women are trying and we are or more women are in positions of authority now but now everything is they've oh she's too bossy or she's it's. it must be hormonal you know we we tend to attack more women then they find it easier the people the audience you know society just finds it easier to attack women i whether it's on looks than they are at work to

attack a man and i think it's time that you know women accept each other which i am seeing more of which i you know i think it's great and it's a step forward but i think men to need 2 more men because some are i'm not going to speak for everyone but more men need to be able to accept and come to terms with. the government of the people and for the people truly you know how can the. government state local governments hope hope just and fix this issue as i'm. sure i'm i think the 1st things that we can start is that we need to strengthen our pay discrimination laws you know when i look at the paycheck fairness act which is the bill that's been around for nearly 20 years and there's really no good reason that it isn't the law you know women of color are overrepresented among the lowest paid workers and they deserve a raise and. the federal minimum wage which hasn't changed in nearly a decade you know legislation like the pregnant workers fairness act that's the only act that schedules the work act would address the discrimination women were

pregnant or to bring and support those that need to leave and i think that is so important as we go forward. and i have the pleasure of working with these 2 wonderful ladies at the table but i also want to bring this back to something that we have seen is that has been showcase for women of color particularly over pretty much generations in this country being silenced in many ways so briana taylor is among a long list of women black women who have not received the same type of responses to their deaths as mean even black men we've seen that you know there are attacks and there's murders across various communities of color in state sanctioned violence and citizen's arrest and the bad news that comes from those isn't exactly new but the way that male story is a male tragedies are elevated is not done the same way for females in there has. and been appointed merican history where women also haven't suffered we can go back to lynchings most people know that black men were lynched but there isn't much showcased about the black women in the black children there were also lynch so it makes people think that you know there was

a softening when it came to women which is absolutely not the case what it was how can we move into a society that actually elevates and pays more attention when women particularly women of color. well i think it's it's already like i said i think there's a lot of work that we're still doing but bringing attention i think to to women and women of color because you know they're still we're still struggling like you said taylor did not get the same type of attention that george floyd got of course protests brought light to what happened in awareness the officers got fired but still there was not enough done and what society does is they try to look at the background to tailor would it would achieve do she must have a criminal record actually know she was a stellar citizen an e.m.t. you know it just it really it really is triggering to to see that nothing has been done when you know something like this in such a tragedy happens a loss of life especially somebody comes into my house with normal clothes and not

you know warning that they're a police officer they have the right to defend themselves with a gun so it was such a tragedy and still that nothing has been done it is just mind blowing and the fact that it's like sarah said we always investigate the background it's always well if you look at rapes for example among women it's always what she wearing what is she doing why does that matter a crime took place brianna taylor was murdered. what else can that why do we have to investigate her character and defame her character as trying to justify what happened it's wrong and you know feminism as a whole you know a dirty word for the nobody likes has come a long way but if we look really in the past like you said in the black them n s we're not entirely included in the seventy's in that movement and hopefully we can bring it together as an inclusive black women women of color with minority women and trans women into that conversation as well hopefully one day in the future but when it comes to crimes especially the murders of black trans women as well they are not investigated enough and often they go unsolved it's

a shame for their families absolutely embracing i'm going to bring you into this as well because i know personally you lost your sister to domestic violence and when we talk about you know that situation particularly around the fact that her murder did not actually serve real time at all when we talk about things like that we're still working to get the violence against women act reauthorized there are so many cases where we just see that people do not care when these violent acts happen against women what are some of your comments. yes absolutely i think you touched on a number of excellent points and i think one of the major issues here even within the african-american community is understanding that there is layers of oppression we are a part of a matrix of domination where we suffer not only gender discrimination but regional discrimination and i think it's a result oftentimes you know under the language of reality where in the reason why people are talking about her spoke saying well you know work we're not trying to cheat why are you trying to divide the african-american or the black community and

i think what's really important here is that we need to understand we're not trying to compete let's say with george floyd story we're trying to come meet the story right and i think that until we stop blaming until we start actually caring about the why of black women and take away the strong black woman. we're going to continue to be fighting against this issue i want to see. what do you do birdie what do you feel is the biggest thing that men get wrong when talking about equality for women and feminism and things of that nature in your experience what do you feel is the 1st thing that men get wrong when they when they comment on these issues. i think it's a lack of education on the topic to be quite frank i don't know how many men are taking the time to pick up a book and genuinely read about semitism to understand that it has to do with women a woman's ability to choose i also think there's quite

a bit of victim blaming well you know if she wasn't wearing boots or if she didn't say that work she's not part of our i think the correct thing so again i truly believe that it's a lack of education combined with. regina so what do you feel is the 1st thing kind of men get wrong when you try to have these discussions about you know equal equal rights and gender rights i think it definitely comes down to you know the victim blaming is all but also they don't really they think it's that women who want equal rights who are proponents of feminism hate men and that's not true it's not we're not hating men were hating that picture across society that has oppressed women and that's what a lot of women want men to understand is we don't hate you not all men are bad we're trying to get you to understand what has been wrong for us and correct that justice i think we've all mentioned here occasion an understanding do they ever do men ever actually say if i were a woman what would that be like how different would my life be if i were

a woman if i were you know if i were being discriminated against for my gender for my race if i were you know a minority woman what would that be like what kind of challenges what i face but now there's a lot of victim blaming like urging us to men hate you know women hate men and that's not as useful and also probably add that the argument diminished are trying to be mean so the idea. many people as bad for many males as that to taking something away from them now that you're pushing for equal rights and i don't know what in the man's mind makes them actually go there but the idea that you are somehow reducing them by wanting to have equality wow i gotta say i learned a lot and thank you for sharing all that with us in the audience today that truly means a walk once again brittany regina pleasure and didn't honor talk to thank you so much. all right everybody as we go to break remember that you can also start watching the hawks on demand this wonderful brand new portable t.v.

app available on all platforms it's on every platform so you have no excuse you can get it. get it. coming up the n.h.l. has found itself in hot water and many more tragedy yes tragedy has struck the protests at the wisconsin state. throughout its history just how just with the self-proclaimed islamic states terrorist group have recruited up 230000 following us from all over the world to fight for them. i. want. sounds of russian citizens left their country to join the terrorists often bringing

wives and children with them. when he is not going to lead is not just on you you see me but us and you have no. more new to the. hundreds of children and widows were held captive all disappeared. back in russia those children families wait them search for them. the world is driven by a dream shaped by one person there is. no

dares thinks. we dare to ask. trade and investment to become magic spells to conjure economic development. most people think about trade they think about goods and services being exchanged between countries and the a vast chapter of a trade agreement is about something very. but won't when investment leads to toxic manufacturing that destroys secret sites all ruins the environment. that means if local communities that are being poisoned if they object if they do anything that the company feels is interrupting their profits they can they sue. multinationals are taking on the whole nation philip morris is trying to use i.s.t.'s to stop

oregon from implementing new tobacco regulations aimed at cutting domestic smoking rates a fringe company sued egypt because egypt raise its minimum wage to democratic choice over trump corporate law joining us as we try to fund don't want to. show its seemed wrong. but all roles just don't call. any new world to be yet to shape out disdain for the conflict etiquette and engagement equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart when you choose to look for common ground.

all right welcome back everyone the n.h.l. has been riding high this summer as the normally winter based professional hockey league has been thriving in the summer heat thanks to the league's brilliantly executed 2 month long 24 team playoffs in a bubble effort to finish their pandemic we cut short 2020 season earlier this year so far everything had been wine roses and body checks against the glass until well. until former n.h.l. player and coach and now n.b.c. studio analyst mike milbury couldn't well he couldn't as motivational speaker matt bowley would say shut his big yapper on a recent broadcast when n.b.c.'s brian busch air broadcast partner suggested how well the bubble environment has kept n.h.l. players focused on the game on the rink. chimed in saying quote there's not even

any women here to disrupt your concentration yeah. joining us once again is a hard to american sports producer jim to discuss the fall out from millbury is curious comments regina. let's get into the dirty details about mr millbury this isn't the 1st time he's actually made comments like this about women or scandalous comments about the game. even during these playoffs he's done that he isn't the 1st broadcaster to have this opinion women in sports especially fall under this kind of criticism in that who by men who think that they shouldn't be there and they should have any any job at all within sports is the subsequent reaction to mo burns quote surprising to you their reaction is not because it is probably a comment that many male analysts in sports feel they just they said the

quiet part out loud and again all men in sports are not like this there are a lot of great allies for women in sports that happen to be male but back in 1700 if i didn't take it back for a quick 2nd melissa lucky had a loss to her in timing a lawsuit against major league baseball to allow or in a locker room to cover a game that was only 42 years ago that's not that long ago so women in sports have had this shi'a mountainous climb up the hill where now allowed in locker rooms stuff like erin andrews laura open and people like that who are on the sideline who do great reporting tell great stories are these wonderful storytellers. and yet they're still reduced to a distraction and a lot of women angry on twitter it blew up and some of them are the n.h.l. social media teams for the leagues that are in the bubbles going hello we're here we're not distracting we're doing our job and that's a point as women in sports sometimes still aren't taken seriously as analysts because we didn't play because the the problem with this quote is basically the.

dispersal for people but the problem with the quote is basically like you know women are always the destruction of the moment strong like they did nor the game they saw a woman walk by and somehow they couldn't get as many goals as a son should leave the problem to grow it is and it's a shame because as you know as women in sports as analysts as broadcasters as reporters we are constantly under a spotlight if she's too fat she's too thin she doesn't have enough makeup on she has too much makeup on you know i couldn't tell you just from my perspective i don't wear spanx because i've been called fat and i went you know i don't care anymore we're constantly under scrutiny and there's nothing you actually how well we do our job and it's a shame because there are a lot of talented women out there who go we're doing a great job we're not just this body we are these wonderful brains and wonderful storytellers absolutely and to your point the point you just made about social media one of the reasons why this story got picked up so heavily is because sports analyst the real sports analyst because sports anchors they call this out and they

called it out loudly and even told their own stories of discrimination and sexism and i thought that that was pretty powerful just to watch happen the issue that women are facing right now being called a distraction is it new or women in sports obviously it's been happening for years 42 years since women legally won the right to be in the locker room do you think the culture is still the same or have things progressed in that for decades i would love to say it's totally different and nothing's going to be the same but you know in the same isn't weird making so much progress but unfortunately we're still climbing up there we're spam oliver who is in her fifty's is a wonder. full analysts are fox tons of n.f.l. games someone i looked up to as like a woman in sports and a woman of color in sports who has had such a big profile one day she did not seem to be on sounds as much because they wanted a younger audience enter erin andrews who is the exact opposite and so you're seeing that yes we've come so far we're now being recognized but still how you look

sex ells and unfortunately sports that's true and to kind of segue into the washington football team where sex normally sells for their calendar unfortunately they're not a scandal i want to bring that up because you know as you say speaking a damaging culture the washington football team the professional team the n.f.l. team is again in the hot seat after this leaked report that a private video from the cheerleaders from the washington football team's cheerleaders like you know they do like a calendar shoot every year which has its own problems anyway but apparently dan snyder the owner of the washington post ball team asked for all the highlight videos basically or the extra thing basically the shots were like at the girls on the beach and she's normally covered it's the shots in between them going to get into the you know and basically showing them half naked and things like that is this the final nail in the coffin for dan snyder at this point you would hope so because the article came out last month about how these women were sexually

harassed touched in appropriate taxes resent that were reporters or of or executive with not officials who work in the front offices of the of the team and you're shocked that now this is having to these 2 as you may not have been aware this even happened until recently like oh my gosh this spans back to 2810 years 12 years now why can't dan snyder get it through his head that you are having one p.r. nightmare after another how do you you don't surface or this guy that i'm glad to see it come out at the end of the day because we all kind of had her suspicions about dan snyder's values because he fought so hard to keep that raise. it's named for so long regina thank you so much for coming on always a pleasure having you on and giving us the sports of the week thank you. a follow up from the shooting of jacob blake by police in connection with concent as protests there continued this week and now even more sadness and violence has come to this already tragic and volatile situation just after midnight in the early
