We're here, you know that, right?

We can hear you, the mute's not on.

But I think that it's become sort of,

You know, it's become acceptable.

It's become encouraged.

I mean, there is so much content boys versus girls on the internet right now.

Like I can't tell you how many clips of me taken out of context where I say something about men or something about women.

And usually if you listen to the whole thing,

I say, well, you know, men have a tendency to blah, blah, blah.

And women, you know, in response, da, da, da.

And if you just take one piece of it, it sounds like I'm anti, like a misandrist or misogynist.

The clips that sound misandrist or misogynist are by far the most viral.

This boys versus girls game is so popular on TikTok and Reels and all these things.

It is so popular.

Because

Either people are like, yes, queen, or they're like, you don't know what the hell you're talking about.

And by the way, to the machine, to the algorithm, it's just engagement.

Whether you're saying I love that or I hate that, it's engagement.

So the best clips from an algorithm standpoint, popularity standpoint, from the machine's point of view,

is how many comments did it get?
