This video was about a woman of color's view on men and the expectations that society has of her. The video shows a man trying to get a woman's attention by using pick up lines which the woman at first ignores then gives her reaction. Her reaction is to put him in his place by explaining the struggles that women face and specially a woman of color and how his attention is unwanted.
I picked this video because I not only like spoken word but also think the issues expressed in this video are very important. This is related to language because it is a way to use language to express yourself and spoken word uses language in many ways. What I found most interesting was the whole video and the message that it has. I totally agree with what was said in the video. Society puts a lot of pressure for women to look a certain way and ethnic women also are pressured in a way to conform to another race's idea of beauty. I have been interested in this topic already for a while so this just makes me want to learn more. This topic affects the world because it is around the whole world where women are not treated equally and the media is always pushing a certain type of beauty to women that is unrealistic.
