oday is going to be great because you're better looking and smarter than you were yesterday, and that's all going to work for you.

Well, I had a conversation yesterday with a young woke person. How do you think that went? Do you think that if you put a young woke person and me in the same conversation that it'll be fun? Well, it was. It started out with a conversation about sexism and all the sexism and misogyny and discrimination against girls and boys. And I said, were you aware that girls do better than boys in a lot of different ways? And she was not aware of that.

And today, by coincidence, I saw a list of some of the things that are going better for girls than boys. Now here we're talking about younger folks, mostly younger folks, so it includes women and girls. And so somebody did a little chart I saw online. I tweeted it earlier this morning. For every hundred girls or women, how many boys or men are doing the same thing?

So for example, for every 100 women who take AP or honors courses in high school in art or music, how many men do the same thing? Honors courses in art and music: only 54. So there are almost twice as many women who attain this high level in school. And then you go right down the line. Who earns an associate's degree? Who takes these AP courses? Who graduates? Who's got a master's degree? Who's in the top 10 percent? Every one of these is women or girls. Every one of them.

So on educational attainment, it's not even close. Women are just smoking men. Not even close. Did you know that? How many woke young people are aware that women are just destroying men at least at the entry level, which predicts the future?

How about health-related stuff and mental health? Again, an entire list of things that women are way better off than men. I'll just give you examples. Basically it's about dying from suicide and everything from autism to learning disorders. People who are homeless: twice as many men and boys are homeless. Die of homicide: seven times more. Die in prison: 13 times more. It's not even close.

If you take most of the measures of well-being, women and girls are all at the top. It's not even close. Now what do you think happened when I mentioned that to a young woke person? Did the young woke person say, you know, that's not exactly what I've been hearing, but I'm going to take it under advisement, maybe do a little research myself and possibly even change my worldview? Do you think that happened?

No. The conversation very quickly turned to my racism. And so I said, well, if you think you live in a world in which it's hard to be a woman and it's hard to be Black, can you explain to me why Black women are getting into college and achieving more scholastically at the moment than white men? Can you explain to me how Black women, who have two strikes against them according to you, the woke person — they have two strikes against them and they're big ones according to you, Black and female — so can you explain why they're doing so well? Why is it that they're getting into college at higher rates than white men, which also suggests that they'll have higher incomes?

Now of course we're not talking about 50 years ago. That's a whole different situation. But how many woke young people were aware that if you're both Black and a woman, it's one of the best things you could be? Do you know what's the only thing that's better than being Black and female in terms of educational attainment, or even the ultimate step of getting your degree? The only thing better than being a Black woman is being a white woman. But being a woman is a pretty good deal in 2022, educationally, which should also translate into career, which should translate into income, etc.

All right. Now when the question of racism came up, I did the Chappelle reframe. And the Chappelle reframe goes like this: Let me ask you, who do you think is suffering more, Tiger Woods or a poor white person in Appalachia? And of course Tiger Woods is doing a little bit better. He's got his issues too, but he's doing better than the poorest of white people. Yeah.

How many do you think that Michael Jordan gets discriminated against more than, say, an average white person? And the answer is no, he doesn't. He's discriminated less, you probably guessed. More things than the average person. And so I was explaining to her that it always has been about rich versus poor. That's what Chappelle explains very well. And that she has been hypnotized into believing it's a racial problem so that the rich people can cover up the fact that they're in power and that they're suppressing other people to keep their power.

Now what happens when you hear that for the first time? Something this person had never heard. Never heard that if you're rich and Black you're in pretty good shape, and if you're poor and white you're in pretty bad shape. Am I right? There's not much to argue with there.

Now yeah, it all explodes, right? And it reminded me how little information gets from one bubble to the next. And I was also thinking, how many times am I discriminated against for race or gender every day? What do you think? Do you think that I ever go a day without overt, very direct discrimination against me for being either male or white? I don't think I've ever gone a day. Not once. Not in my public life.

If you look at my Twitter you can see almost every day somebody accusing me of something that you can tell is based on my gender and my race. And they're usually incorrect. That is racism, right? People making direct assumptions about my beliefs based on my gender and my race, and they're usually wrong. I get that every day, you know.

And most of you know my famous story of being denied promotions in two different corporate worlds because I was white and because I was male. And they told me that directly. That's not my interpretation. They said directly, you're white, you're male, we can't promote you.

Now how many Black people have ever had that happen to them? Probably some. I'm sure there are Black people who have exactly the same experience. We're not going to hire you because you're Black. Maybe they didn't say it out loud, but you know it's happening somewhere, right? So definitely it's happening.

But to imagine that it's Black people getting all the discrimination and white people getting none of it, and that it's about race, is missing the big story. It's also about race. I'm not denying racism exists, of course. I'm just saying it's everywhere all the time, and that rich people do better and poor people do worse. And that's the whole story.

And once I explained it to her, there's not much you can say about it. Am I right? Unless you just change the topic, there's not any real response to that, because the data is pretty clear, right? And the facts that I presented are not really in question. You know, there's not really a question. Did you or did you not get discriminated in employment? I could give you thousan
