  1. Hi, everyone.
  2. Welcome back to Lesson 11 Part six.
  3. Now, we were finishing up the questions for the first
  4. article in the last part, and let me just click
  5. through real quick so it stays in order.
  6. Uh, yeah.
  7. I was talking here again.
  8. The signs were everywhere.
  9. I talked about in the video, which won't be on
  10. the exam, but I missed this down here in paragraph
  11. 25. Things group I is wondering about the, you know,
  12. Is there a hidden agenda?
  13. Is the sentences why did they, you know, again, what
  14. are the reasons that these that this is included in
  15. in paragraph 25 I think, actually is not a hidden
  16. agenda? You would call that an inference.
  17. Actually, uh, hidden agendas means that you have a second
  18. reason why you do something that is really hard to
  19. see. Don't confuse that with making an inference about what
  20. the author is doing.
  21. Yeah, I I agree with you completely in group I.
  22. You've got it.
  23. The main purpose of this article is is an inference.
  24. It is an inference.
  25. It's not the The author does not tell you directly
  26. what the point is of the article completely, and so
  27. you have to make an inference.
  28. But that's not a hidden agenda.
  29. Hidden agendas, arm or negative.
  30. They have a negative connotation there, more serious and kind
  31. of their hidden for a reason.
  32. But this one, there is no reason for them.
  33. Just for the author just wrote it the way they
  34. did and didn't clearly state their opinion.
  35. But I think you could get it.
  36. In other words, I don't think it's hidden.
  37. I think you could get it, and I and I
  38. ended here with the opinion about the rule breakers.
  39. What is the writer's personal opinion about the rule breakers?
  40. Again, we can't we can't really judge Well, because we
  41. don't have a lot of information about the author.
  42. So again, there's multiple possible answers for this.
  43. Okay, let's go to Article number two, then and again.
  44. Group going starting there.
  45. What is the hot mess syndrome?
  46. A lot of you asked about that.
  47. What's the hot mess syndrome that is syndrome means it's
  48. a common thing that's affecting people in a bad way.
  49. It means a lot of people are its happens to
  50. a lot of people, and it is not short.
  51. It last.
  52. It's a it's a It's a common problem that lot
  53. of lots of people experience, and it affects them a
  54. lot. That's what a syndrome is, And the hot mess
  55. syndrome just means don't worry about what the idea hot
  56. mess. That's basically referring to the idea that you're kind
  57. of messed up, your kind of your you kind of
  58. make you know your again as the examples when you
  59. look at the the paragraph there, especially paragraph seven, where
  60. it talks about hot mess syndrome are the trope of
  61. the hot mess.
  62. Trope is just means again, a common thing that happens
  63. a lot, and a lot of people use it because
  64. it's because it's so common.
  65. People might think it's true of everyone, and it's not
  66. always true of everyone.
  67. In the article, the author says it's not true of
  68. Elizabeth Warren.
  69. She is not a hot mess.
  70. So Hot Mess is kind of the opposite of Elizabeth
  71. Warren, in some sense, so Liz Lemon is the example
  72. of hot mess.
  73. Hot mess means that you're smart.
  74. If you're a woman, you're you're You're smart, you're intelligent,
  75. you are come, you're you're competent and everything you dio
  76. However, you have a serious flaw in your, especially in
  77. your personality.
  78. It's related to your personality.
  79. You have an odd personality.
  80. You're strange.
  81. That's basically all you need to know about Hot Mess.
  82. It just means that you are quite capable in many
  83. areas, but you have a strange personality.
  84. You have some serious flaw, personality flaws.
  85. That's what it means.
  86. And they're saying that this the author is saying that
  87. this is applied.
  88. This is often put on women.
  89. They have toe have this.
  90. They can't just be completely competent because that's threatening or
  91. it seems condescending or it seems like they're being like
  92. a high school principal.
  93. Or she uses many expressions to talk about.
  94. How that's not acceptable in society is for for women
  95. to be too competent because men will feel bad and
  96. other women as well, by the way, not just men.
  97. Some of you asked question about men.
  98. It's not just men to think this.
  99. It's women also who are judging Elizabeth Warren because of
  100. this. So they've taken on that kind of that kind
  101. of misogyny, which is a bit odd, you know, that
  102. women would be misogynists, but they are in the article
  103. that expresses that women, we'll share this too.
  104. So what does it mean?
  105. Hot mess syndrome?
  106. It just means that that the person is the woman
  107. is very capable in some areas, but has a bad
  108. has a personality flaw.
  109. But Elizabeth Warren does not, so it shouldn't be applied
  110. to her.
  111. Okay, question three.
  112. Why is Elizabeth Warren so hard to love when this
  113. story, the content, is the new face of Democratic Party
  114. in a favorite of the you know?
  115. So why the Arctic?
  116. The question here is asking about the title on why
  117. it seems not to match.
  118. But I think if you consider the authors main purpose,
  119. Main kind of focuses on misogyny and I think using
  120. Elizabeth Warren as an example of misogyny.
  121. I think the answer to this question becomes clear that
  122. it's not really about that, the new face of the
  123. Democratic Party or really the presidential race.
  124. It's about another example of this same problem of misogyny.
  125. Okay, twisting the knife.
  126. What does that mean?
  127. Twisting the knife means that after you, not only do
  128. you hurt, someone used to do something or say something
  129. that hurts them, but then you do something again to
  130. doom or to really hurt them?
  131. Because if you if you get stabbed with a knife,
  132. you don't know this.
  133. If you get stabbed with the knife, it hurts and
  134. it does damage.
  135. But if you twist the knife, then then you're tearing
  136. mawr stuff up and it makes even Mawr damage.
  137. So it it shows an intent to cause mawr damage
  138. than just getting them.
  139. You want to really get him?
  140. So that's what it means.
  141. Men cry again Men criticizing Elizabeth Warren for accomplishments.
  142. No, it's actually in the article.
  143. Women as well, Not just men, but there are men
  144. listed. Yeah, uh, what does gentle approach mean again in
  145. paragraph? One gentle approach is kind of just making the
  146. authors making fun of that gentle approach means that kind
  147. of that you you can't come off too strong.
  148. You can't be like I know what's right.
  149. I know what's wrong, and I'm going to tell you
  150. you have to be softer.
  151. You have to be more kind of, you know, like
  152. humble. That's what gentle approach means attitude of the writer.
  153. What is the attitude?
  154. The writer, in your opinion?
  155. Oh, well again.
  156. You should be able to figure that out.
  157. The author is using lots of language, So go look
  158. at the all the adjectives and all of the ideas
  159. that she says She uses some pretty strong language here.
  160. I think you could figure out her attitude very quickly,
  161. and you could see from what she wrote about misogyny
  162. before you could figure this out.
  163. You don't need me to tell you, um, a version
  164. of this state sentiment.
  165. Ah, version of the sentiment means it's a it's It's
  166. said differently.
  167. This thing is said differently, but it's the same idea.
  168. So So if I said Oh, I love kimchi and
  169. then and then later somebody else says, Oh, kimchi is
  170. one of my favorite foods both of those air different
  171. versions of the same sentiment.
  172. The sentiment means what the point is.
  173. I love kimchi gay.
  174. The other person loves Kim Ttg.
  175. The sentiment is the same, but it's said differently, So
  176. aversion means different words are used for the same idea.
  177. Poor showing.
  178. I talked about that in my lesson, but a poor
  179. showing means you did poorly on again on Super Tuesday.
  180. That was a big show you had to.
  181. Everybody was competing.
  182. And if you don't do well, you're out.
  183. And so she didn't do well.
  184. She had a poor showing.
  185. Means she didn't perform well during that during that event.
  186. Super Tuesday was when there was a bunch of people
  187. all competing in elections in the primary elections to become
  188. the Democratic representative.
  189. But she did poorly.
  190. Means she did badly.
  191. She had a poor showing.
  192. My way or the highway means I don't given.
  193. I don't change what I think.
  194. I will follow my own style and you cannot say
  195. or do anything that will make me even change my
  196. style. Little because I believe I'm right.
  197. Uh, Gala Gala, the pundits again Gala.
  198. The pundits, I think pundits are people who are in
  199. politics. Those are people who talk about and study and
  200. analyze politics a lot.
  201. So pundits or the people who know the most about
  202. it, so if you're going to gall them, you're going
  203. to upset them.
  204. You're going to say things that make them not happy.
  205. Can Hillary failure be related to misogyny?
  206. While the author seems to think so, the author includes
  207. not her point, right?
  208. Um, under evaluation of Warren in again.
  209. Did the author want to highlight that?
  210. Yeah, I think the author's using Warren as the example
  211. as another example of misogyny.
  212. Um, what it's to be asked, What does that mean?
  213. It is to be asked about one skincare routine.
  214. Yeah, it's clear that that if you're a woman, they
  215. will ask you about your looks and how you you
  216. know how you maintain your looks, but they don't ask
  217. that of men.
  218. So it's showing the difference of how men and women
  219. are treated groupie.
  220. The lurching of a zero sum were world, where the
  221. only thing that I got out of your discussion there
  222. that you couldn't answer lurching means like going suddenly forward
  223. and backwards.
  224. It's not steady and even and logical.
  225. It's kind of surprising and shocking and, you know, bit,
  226. you know, Lurch.
  227. So it's a bad thing, and zero sum world means
  228. that zero sum is what Donald Trump does.
  229. He is zero sum.
  230. He means I can't win without you losing.
  231. So it means whenever you think of competing with someone,
  232. you don't want both of you to have a good
  233. competition, and you both win because you had a good
  234. competition. No, you you win, the other person loses.
  235. So someone get zero.
  236. That's bad.
  237. Still confusing about the electrical electoral system?
  238. You don't need to know more about the electoral system.
  239. Um, you can find out more, but I think go
  240. back to my lesson and I gave some good warm
  241. up to that.
  242. So go watch that again Super Tuesday as well.
  243. I told you that already, Um, to know.
  244. Yeah, that expression in paragraph five in Paragraph five is
  245. talking about the humiliation you have to suffer.
  246. Humiliation means you have to be embarrassed.
  247. And in Iowa you have to go up there and
  248. eat. You know, basically, cow be.
  249. You know, it's like pork.
  250. It's like Bobby on, you know, bones.
  251. You have to eat that and you drip, and you
  252. they want to see how you live.
  253. Make sure your riel, so that is humiliating.
  254. Her, unlike ability, has a specific source beyond biased and
  255. misogyny. What does that mean?
  256. Specific source means.
  257. Three authors pointed to saying it's not a mystery.
  258. There's a There's one cause the author thinks that is
  259. the one cause why that that bias and misogyny is
  260. happening. What is it again?
  261. I'll leave that for you to figure out, but the
  262. author makes it clear throughout the article what that one
  263. problem is with misogyny.
  264. ITT's connected with misogyny.
  265. Direct directly, right?
  266. What does Paragraph six mean?
  267. I think I talked about that.
  268. The mess.
  269. The hot mess syndrome Paragraphs 89 Warren should be apologetic.
  270. 89 again, this is dealing with condescending, which is a
  271. big part of this article.
  272. If women seem like they're telling men and other women
  273. what they think and they and they say it very
  274. strongly, then they don't look like they're nice.
  275. They look like they're mean and their there, and they're
  276. just they're egotistical and their two too strong.
  277. So that's why they women should be apologetic from the
  278. beginning. Like, Oh, sorry, I know more than you.
  279. Sorry, I'm going to tell you stuff that maybe you
  280. don't want to hear again.
  281. The only women's, According to the author, only women have
  282. to say those kinds of things.
  283. So that's why she should be apologetic but not men.
  284. That's misogyny.
  285. Uh, that's what the apology there is to about that
  286. the first line in paragraph three.
  287. What does it mean?
  288. Paragraph three?
  289. The first line?
  290. A version of that sentiment already said that irrational animus
  291. again. What?
  292. She's what the author is telling us.
  293. Irrational means it doesn't make sense.
  294. And animus means anger.
  295. So these people are angry at at Elizabeth Warren for
  296. no real reason because Elizabeth Warren is good and she's
  297. competent. I think I talked about a long shadow.
  298. That just means that Liz Lemon, that hot mess from
  299. that that Liz Lemon is exemplifying effects.
  300. Ah, lot of people.
  301. Ah, long shadow means it goes over a lot of
  302. people and and covers and affects a lot of people.
  303. Okay. Uh, demotion.
  304. Okay, we're in article.
  305. Yeah, we're in article number three.
  306. Now, I think we're gonna have to have one mawr
  307. part to this lesson.
  308. By the way, Article three.
  309. We're talking about NASA.
  310. And did any of the white women leave remarkable achievements
  311. again? That's a lot of you asked about that.
  312. The white women, Clearly they did.
  313. But the author doesn't talk about white women.
  314. That might be a red flag for you again.
  315. You could say that, uh, the women were no longer
  316. in separate pools.
  317. A pool just means a group just means a group.
  318. So if you pull something, if you say pull, your
  319. resource is it means put all your money together into
  320. one thing.
  321. Because the pool is a group of something.
  322. Ah, bunch of things altogether that have something in common.
  323. So in this case, all the black women, the women
  324. who were African American were not allowed by laws.
  325. They had to be separated from white people according to
  326. the laws of the government, not NASA.
  327. And and then how they did that was they put
  328. all the white women, they even separated.
  329. They separated women from men.
  330. They didn't have to do that.
  331. And the author doesn't really talk about that.
  332. But they also had to buy the government.
  333. They had to separate the black women from the white
  334. women. So they just arbitrarily it doesn't matter.
  335. They just came up with the name.
  336. Okay, this side is on the west side of the
  337. campus, you know, west side of the of the business.
  338. So we're gonna call that the West Computing.
  339. We call this the East Computing.
  340. The names just mean where they are, and they just
  341. randomly probably said, Oh, we'll put the African American women
  342. into the West one.
  343. We'll put the white women into the east.
  344. One doesn't mean anything beyond that's just grouping a pool
  345. means a group.
  346. Okay, so in the next part
