What I found most interesting was the diversity of opinions and the fact that they seemed to be genuine and not just repeating what they think they are supposed to say. And, they’re gorgeous.
Русские девушки дорожат своей свободой! Попробуй русской девушке навязать свое мнение! У меня жена с Урала, и я стараюсь вообще с ней не спорить. В крайнем случае просто делаю так, как считаю нужным. Но это в крайнем случае, в безвыходной ситуации, когда надо принимать решение и действовать быстро. 🤫🤨🤌
I am British. I married a beautiful Russian lady and now I live in Russia. Russians are the best!!! You should be proud of these young ladies in your video. Confident, educated, articulate and beautiful. Cлава русским женщинам!!!
@@nexusi6867 I think you have mistaken Russia with Ukraine....currently the Kiev government delegates are roaming around to catch almost every human male from age 16 to send to the front line against the russians, including disabled poor guys.
Yeah, but will it be equitable? If women expect to be pampered and strongly expect that, boys and men may be more likely to subtly or not-so-subtly dismiss certain human adult aspects of them; and vice-versa.
In Russia, a woman and a man are not equal. In Russia, a man should always, a woman can in many cases choose to be strong or weak. A woman's choice is always influenced by circumstances.
As a foreigner what I LOVE about these is how articulate & thought out everybody is on this interview. They have opinions which seem a lot more balanced and a lot more nuanced, refined. Beauty lives not only on the outside! Pozdrav
то что я написал чистая правда, русские женщины это волки в овечьих шкурах, похлеще американок и западных женщин будут. Таких крокодилов, которые тебе руку откусить могут ты ещё не видел. Ни за что не женись на русских женщинах!!!
I'm from Russia. I decided to watch this video because I am interested in this topic. When I went down to the comments, I saw a bunch of positive statements from people from different countries towards the girls in the video and, in general, towards Russian people. It touched me very much. Stay as kind as you are. Hugs everyone!❤
Reading comments as a Russian guy, I'm feeling a bit disturbed that many western people find it so amazing that our girls speaking clearly and in coherent sentences. It must be really bad out there...
Thank you Eli ! I am 58 And will never get the opportunity to visit your beautiful country. The internet has been a great tool to bridge that barrier that has been put in place by the controllers. People like you are making a huge difference in the world we live in. May God bless this world for a better tomorrow for the children.
just bullshit, men and women are not equal, as a man pays for the date woman cooks in the house, don't switch gender roles otherwise you will end up like west, stupid clown world , by the way the most pleasant girls were those who said they are not feminists and damn they were so attractive
@@jackalspades2522 well it’s mostly a joke but frankly Russian parents are the biggest supporters of gender roles, and will be the first to say “your a girl/guy you should do this/should not do this”. Meanwhile in the rest of society it’s less pronounced.
As an American I love these videos on UA-cam because they bring the human element to the table when countries are torn between policies. In the end we only have each other.
What always calls attention in these videos is how well educated the people are on them, how regular people can express themselves in complex ways. If you contrast this with some other major countries like the US, the educational system speaks volumes.
They chose those people on purpose. All of them are probably from a university. Like common,. do you think they go into some desert 500km away from moskow just for this interview ? probably not lol
@@Maximum7077 If you interview the same group in the US there is a lot of "yo bruh i dunno man" deeply retarded, especially now they enter by woke quotas and not SAT score
@@Maximum7077 As a girl from Russia, I want to tell you education is mostly similar in different regions of Russia. So, all schools have the same program of studying. And when pupils graduate a school they are already educated enough to express themselves. I know the pupils have different program of studying in the USA depending on the school or region. Of course there are such people which can't express thoughts in a structured and consistent manner, but there are very few of them. I think there are such people everywhere and in every country. By the way the education in the university is not the most important thing that is an index of educations or knowleanges. In Russia it is mostly outdated trend. You know when your parents told you that you must go to the university otherwise you will be miserable and poor... But the education in the Russian university is extremely outdated and inefficient often. That is why many people try to go foreign universities. And many employers pay attention to the experience. So unfortinantly Russian education is useless for many people...
They are bit behind in terms of feminism over there, after a few generations the destructive effect of feminism will have degenerated their minds as well.
Russia has a very good education and it's true, but for some reason the best institutions of Russia, MSU and MGIMO, in the world ranking are for some reason ranked 100th 😁🤣🤣🤣
If the actual theory was taught in schools all countries would be on the same page about what feminism is. If people don’t teach kids about communism they will not recognize a communist takeover until it is too late. One look at the West today and it’s obvious.
is about destruiction of traditional family, the bullshit of equal rights is just a lie, everyone who knows the pioners womans of this movement know for what is it about
As a westerner these videos are really enlightening. It’s easy to get lost in the politics of the differences that there are on an international stage, but it is clear that there are many similarities between both sides. Thanks for posting.
@@wadafik Why do women need rights.. everyone are born with rights. Russian women are educated. Women choose to give up rights and all westerners are triggered
@Marco Zepeda anger depends on who was provocative . If courts value emotional hurt then it is tangible and you can retaliate with physical hurt and vice versa. But you are missing the main point. You are being with a partner because you trust them. If you get hit by your partner, then leave the partnership because trust is broken. I don't understand why courts have to get involved in a human relationship. If you can't even trust the person you choose and use government to create security (domestic abuse laws) for you to be with your partner, then that's not a real relationship. It's failing and inability on your part to successful judge your partners character. That's just projecting your insecurity on other person just for you to feel safe. No one needs rights for anyone. Rights are a lie to transfer power. For instance , creating domestic abuse laws will give the emotional abuser a leverage over physical abuser. There is a subconscious threat placed on you and you will feel repressed.
I'm British and I hope to visit Russia soon. I really enjoy your videos, Eli, and I'm always impressed by the intelligence and confidence of Russian women when they answer your questions. They give me the impression of having very good relationships with themselves. I wish that British Girls were more like this. I think that at one time they were, but now not so much. Big thanks to all the girls who participated, they made this video what it is.
You mean not obese with a ton of make up and fake eyelashes? I wish the same, because living in UK, I found most of the local women not fit for dating. The looks, the way they dress. It's like they don't care. It is not meant as an insult, just an observation.
@@nodrinkingproblemhere9095 To be fair this is obviously not an accurate representation of all Russian women. Moscow is where more intelligent and nuanced people live and work. In my family, if you are even able to get a job in Moscow after finishing uni, it means you’ve made it.
U wish english women traditional? Just educate your women? Cause your country is fallen even compared to mine (italy). They do'nt want be mothers they don't want a family and act bad with their partners, i think is lack of education cause in countries like Russia, India but also south europe they still receive different education by the family.
I really appreciate that you showed the variety of women’s perspectives in Russia. Like everywhere, some people are old school, some people are progressive, and most people are somewhere in between.
I really like how composed these young women are and how well they understand themselves. They are articulate and know what they are talking about and another thing I noticed, each girl had a solid vocabulary and were able to speak with the appropriate word in its rightful place. Lastly, feminist or not, femininity is not dying in Russia, in fact it's flourishing !
Please put the drugs away before you comment child. Immancipation of women I was reading was what the western world got wrong and they're suffering now because of it. It's an interesting read nonetheless whether you r pro or anti feminist. You do realize that anyone can frame a video and interviews so that it doesn't reflect the views of those being interviewed? Some of the captions are stated in such a way that they r suspect as if that's really what the person was saying or meant... No offence peace and love for all ♥ ☺
wel most do but some are stil to much in there am a weak little woman role,if thats youre choice oke but dont use the am a weak little thing excuse just to get youre way. one almost litteraly said i like to be seen as weak so i can take less responsability,its fine if thats youre choice but dont hide behind it be honest about it just say i dont want equal rights i want my traditional woman role so a traditional guy knows she is the woman for him. i am not a traditional person when it comes to a partner, i like a woman who is equal but who can ask for help if she needs help or even just wants help but not a woman who wil use the am not equal card i dont like that. i dont hold open doors because i think its stupid i dont hold doors open for my friends either and we just split the bill like i do with everyone,am youre bf not youre mommie.
Damn, Russian women seem to be incredibly smart, intelligent and sophisticated. They are being asked a random question out of nowhere and they give a perfect answer without even stuttering as if they were prepeared for it. Even the way they speak (softly, calm, feminine) is absolutely beautiful.
Не ведись на это , чувак . Внешность обманчива , да среди них много красавиц и они не такие агрессивные феминистки как у вас но среди них тоже хватает проблемных и коварных особ .
I am from Istanbul. There are a lot of russians living here, our cultures are somewhat similar especially about gender roles and such, once I met a russian guy and I asked him out, on our date he said that he is surprised about me asking him out so early. Of course everyone is different :)
You won't like it in Russia Russians don’t like blacks, I, as a russian living in Russia, am talking about the majority. They won’t say it to your face, but they will look askance and laugh behind your back. All jokes are based on racism

@@muhammadyoussef8 They basically want all the privileges of feminism, while keeping all the privilegiles of patriarch, such as men paying her stuff and making the first move. So yeah, they are spoiled and entitled as fu*k.

I met my wife when I was 18, we were students, I was just looking for my first job and I had no money I was ashamed that I couldn't pay more or buy something else. But my girlfriend (wife) was trying to buy some snacks for the movie night and even gave me money, under different excuses, so that I would buy some think for us (she was already working at the time) I am truly grateful to her for her love and attitude towards me. And your words about money for women are true, but only for certain girls. There is no need to lump everyone into one group, I think you are wrong in this This was from 2018
Где Вы находите таких девушек? А взятые с потолка проценты выглядят так себе. Обычно наоборот девушки предпочитают оплачивать то, что заказали. Другой вариант - платит тот, кто пригласил, но в любом случае об этом договариваются заранее или просто берут деньги с собой на всякий случай.
What you’re doing is very important. Many germans have a completely distorted view of Russia due to the propaganda. I have visited Russia two times long ago, I hope I will visit it again. It is a wonderful country with mostly kind and open minded people. Already in the 80s most russian women in Moscow had more self-confidence than many women in western societies.
Im Beitrag wollten sich die meisten Frauen kaufen lassen. Gleiche Rechte haben nichts mit physischer/mentaler Gleichheit zu tun. Wenn ich in 30h/W mehr verdiene als meine Frau in 40h/W unterstütze ich sie trotzdem im Haushalt ... wäre es andersherum würde sie das Gleiche tun. Beim ersten Date weiß ich noch nicht mal, ob ich mehr (max. Sex) möchte oder die Frau ist anders als zuvor angegeben ... da ist es selbstverständlich, dass jeder seinen Teil bezahlt.
Thank you so much. I love Germany, I've been there, beautiful country! I hope more people will learn about Russia from videos like this, because it's upsetting that so many stereotypes about us are still alive.
Moscow is like a completely different country compared to rest of Russia. In Moscow you get the most educated and cultured people who are very interesting.
i am so grateful for your videos. I am dating a Russian man, and your videos have taught me so much about him. I am an American. Thank you for your beautiful work )
В России не приветствуются такие отношения. Между мужчинами. Молодец, что уехал в Америку. Только пусть он там и остаётся. Нет желания видеть таких в России снова. Это противоестесственные отношения. Он может жить как хочет, в России его ни кто не тронет, но в глазах остальных он потерял своё достоинство и свой статус быть мужчиной.
each girl talked only on the basis of her personal experiences in her childhood. there is no general trend. the parental environment has the deepest influence.
those parents still are part of the population, and they don't get their morals from story books, but from their own environment as well. that's how society works
Years ago, I have met girls from Russia and Ukraine who thought it wasn’t necessary to even bring a wallet with them if they went out with friends and there would be men amongst them. That was indeed a culture shock! :)
@@RK-yu7mp Expecting 'real women' to be things you pamper, and not necessarily regard as strong independent people; and maybe even something to be bought and then tossed. It's traditional relational commerce underneath the 'chivalry' and dating traditions. It certainly works well for 'playas' as well as more sincere, traditional men.
@@maxhirsch7035 I think you went ahead and assumed a whole lot. You’re also throwing out the evolutionary differences between genders and the nuances there within. Since humanity began, men have catered to women in various ways to try and gain access to sex. “Going out “ and men paying for women is just a modern version of that. It also doesn’t mean that the participation of both genders in this “ dance” equates either one to being lesser or worth more. I was being a bit facetious, though. Women are free to pay for their own drinks-thats completely fine.
I am so amazed by the intelligence, self awareness and kindness portrayed in this video by all these girls (including you Eli). Much love and a bunch of greetings from Bucharest!
I expect my fiancé to pay for pretty much everything and he does but I cook and clean, iron his clothes, pack his lunches and do other house work. I prefer it this way honestly. His job seems really hard and i’m grateful he pays the bills for us. I’m American and 25, my fiancé is 32
Unlike so many videos on UA-cam, you can tell this was well thought out, seriously. By the end I not only felt I knew a little more about Russian people, but it was captivating in its entirety. Well done!
I visited Leningrad and Moscow in early November of 1976. I was in high school visiting from Calgary, Canada. So much has changed! I look forward to visiting again! Thanks, Eli, for being such an amazing tour guide of Russia 🇷🇺. ✨😺💫
@@denisslugin9363 in 1976 I was in the Russian Soviet Federated Socialist Republic, more casually referred to as Russia, and it was one of many Soviet Socialist Republics that made up the Union Of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR) in 1976.
I think people often confused personal roles in personal relationships with questions about social justice. For example, the struggle for making sure that women get paid on par with men, or that women should have the same education opportunities, is about equal access to economic and social resources. That is not the same thing as gender roles in a marriage, or a romance. From the interviews it seems that these Russian women like traditional gender roles in relationships, but are mostly positive about equality in other areas. I think this is an important distinction and it is valid to make it. Of course, the two do influence each other somewhat, but they don't have to necessarily.
"...The struggle for making sure that women get paid on par with men, or that women should have the same education opportunities, is about equal access to economic and social resources." I don't think you can rationally dis-entangle the two, without wrecking what makes it possible for women to make the much-improved choices they've already gained through advanced economies. Economies cannot overcome scarcity by paying more. Quite the opposite, scarcity is overcome by producing more with less. One of the largest "problems" (although that's not objective) is that women are FAR more likely to choose to take time off for child bearing and rearing, often for many years. Which means they lose far more years of valuable experience in the workforce. To the extent we already (or want to) try to force firms to pay them more to make up for that, the less output/cost would simply be passed on in prices to women's families, and would fall disproportionately on the poor, since the poor rely much more heavily than the middle class and wealthy on productivity (labor), rather than passive investments. Government can involve itself to make it appear that this problem is solved (i.e., through regulation, subsidies, preferential treatment of larger companies, etc, which is itself, incredibly dangerous), but it is all appearance. Unfortunately, we're already WAY down that road, as corporatism and special (corporate and bureaucratic) interest domination has already taken over the U.S. to an alarming degree. Contrary to a LOT of wishful thinking, economic laws are not magically overcome by government and egalitarian-speak; and governments are incredibly dangerous (and violent) mechanisms for social engineering.
@@towardcivicliteracy Решение простое. Отпуск по уходу за ребенком в России оплачивает государство. Хотя вопрос, планируете ли вы в ближайшее время детей часто звучит на собеседовании. И учитывайте, что социальное равенство между мужчинами и женщинами в России имеет большую историю, чем в любой другой стране. Полагаю, что этот вопрос принял такие гипертрофированные формы в некоторых странах, как раз из за того, что с этим вопросом долго тянули.

I'm American, just wanted to say that your English grammar is better than mine is in my head. I'm learning Spanish and German, (probably gonna learn Russian after German) so nice to see someone who's trying to learn my first language while I'm trying to learn theirs, Keep up the good work, your English is good. :D
Not only are Russian women incredibly beautiful, but so refreshingly intelligent. I just love the way they answer questions with such assertiveness and education behind their words.
I am more traditional and older woman. My husband loves to pay for almost everything as a provider he feels good. I like to receive from him and this makes us both happy.
In Russia there are very aggressive men, they really hate feminists, so many women are forced to take a position against feminism without understanding the essence of the movement. This speaks first of all about the superficiality of all judgments
Men and women should be equal in terms of having equal access to economic opportunities and equal protection under the law. Men and women will naturally sort themselves out in society, anything that is forced will probably not work out too well. Great questions Eli, it's great to see you explain how you decide which questions to ask. These are important questions and often times the general public is never asked for their opinion.
"will naturally sort themselves out". Men and women are not trash to be sorted out. Each individual will choose their path. There aren't specific categories reserved for men or women for them to sort themselves into.
@@ArturoGarzaID Misunderstood you then. Thought you implied some "natural categories" that men sort themselves into as opposed to women and vice versa. Apologies if that's not what was meant.
ever since i’ve started dating my boyfriend from russia i haven’t paid for a single dinner or ANYTHING when we are together, i love the chivalry that was passed down through the generation.
9:32 author’s translation: “the west is the place where a woman can provide for herself”. What she actually said “the west is the place where woman’s wants can be provided for”. Just saying.
@@Anamewhowasnottaken Well, the biggest discrepancy in the video is how majority of them want to be strong and independent, but expect to be catered for. But I presume you are asking about translations. I just sometimes follow the subtitles out of linguistic and cultural interest to see how much gets lost in translation and this one jumped out at me, cos the translator is obviously trying to put words into the respondent’s mouth. I don’t think anybody needs to be paranoid about subtitles per se since it is much easier to misinterpret the content due to very different cultural backgrounds than due to imperfect translation.
@@dyahns that's what I don't like about the woke and aggressive 4th wave feminist of the west and specially America. The only thing they know as strength is to act like a man but still expect men to cater to everything they wish. They always think that a man has to be good enough but fail to see if they themselves are good enough for a man.
I was fortunate to be raised by a wonderful mother who was a nurse and who fought and lead her profession to having their own Professional Union. She was a woman in all respects but taught me and my sister that equal responsibility and equal respect was the only way. She was a feminist at heart but would never use a title at that time to describe her beliefs of equality. She taught that child baring and nurturing was important but the values in raising was to be shared. She is 93.
I enjoy these videos a great deal My father was a veteran of general Patton's army and World War II After the war ended my father met Russian Soviet soldiers He met the Soviet Russian soldiers in Berlin He got to know them somewhat They bartered with each other for things that they wanted to exchange My father told me many many things about the Russian Soviet soldiers He always spoke of them in a very respectful and honorable way He said they were very tough And there was a lady who was in the Russian Soviet army If and my father said that she was a very very beautiful woman She had fought in the war and killed nazis with a machine gun And my father spoke of her beauty even 20 to 25 years later I have nothing against the Russian people And I hope to meet Russian people and make friendships Especially a nice lady
Germans are good people too... they were just sick of jewish banking cartel plundering their country. My grandfather was Norwegian partisan and my Grandmother is German. Russia is in the same situation that the German faced then. They try to get out of western Financial system.

Мне нравится, что вы показали разные точки зрения. У нас может быть очень субъективная точка зрения на этот вопрос в обществе. Например, я училась в Москве на технической специальности. У меня были моменты, когда старые преподаватели относились в девушкам более снисходительно, многие относились одинаково. Однако при всем этом декан факультета (аэросмический) женщина. Достаточно женщин преподавателей по математике физике и т.д. В дальнейшем по профессии (IT) также встречала много женщин на разных позициях. Однако, я все равно понимаю, что это только одна сторона и где-то еще может встречаться дискриминация. Однако все мы люди, и все мы разные🤷♀️ как-то так
Женщины (умные) неизбежно должны быть феминистками, потому что они прекрасно понимают разницу где отношения а где их общественный вклад в будущее детей. И когда в последнем варианте (на службе итд) мужчины делают вид что соблюдают понятия равенства, а закулисно решают исключительно в свою пользу - это надо ломать, это такой же принципиальный вопрос женской роли в заботе о потомстве, как и тема "хранения очага", включающая между делом суровую дрессировку чувства заботы у будущих отцов
@@andy_nvrmnd вы прямо столько ярлыков понавесили. На всех и со всех сторон. Не понятно, что вообще для вас значит феминизм, и почему вдруг умные женщины обязаны вам быть феминистками? 3 года оплачиваемого декрета входят в ваше понятие феминизма? Ведь это явно не входит в рамки равенства полов, ибо у мужчин таких привилегий нет. Хотя я ваш коммент перечитала и поняла, что я понятия не имею о чем вы вообще😂 что вам там ломать то надо?

@@lukkam6591 Почему моё понятие? Общее понятие. И ваше женское и наше мужское. Декрет мне представляется разновидностью медвежьей услуги, поэтому не входит. Будь всё как в идеале в нашем обществе - декрет было бы "что есть что нету" для вас

@@lukkam6591 Ну вообще-то я понимаю всё очень хорошо. вашу реакцию тоже понимаю. США не идеал, но стремится. А что касается в идеале - забота о детях это такой же достойный труд или даже больше .. конечно он должен вознаграждаться, но это в идеале, со всей ответственностью, - это совсем не тоже самое что кормить чем вздумается, высовываться из окна орать "Антоша, домой", отправлять в бездарное учебное заведение с облегчением вздыхать, не видеть весь день, а вечером устало поддерживать формальные разговоры
Я учился на мехмате НГУ в Нске, наши девушки были очень круты и умны. Из 10 самых лучших студентов, девушек точно было половина, хотя их было сего 25-30% в общем потоке.
I'm half German half Russian and this video is beautiful. From my family (из Казани) I only know their stories. My mom did Russian Ballet for 8 years, 5 days a week, 2 hours each day. She studied at university, her best friends studied at university. Her aunt, my great aunt, was a German professor at university at the time. My great grandma was a Tatarian actress and I loved her humour. My grandma worked in the technical field but didn't study at university (she came from a village and the education available wasn't the best). I really love my family and I love having conversations with them because they are all very knowledgeable and have a unique perspective on life and I wouldn't change it for the world.

Про дискриминацию. Работал я как-то в строительном магазине подходит мужик , спрашивает что-то о товаре. Подходит девушка , мой куратор с опытом работы 5 лет, хочет помочь с выбором. Мужик начал ее отгонять, аргументируя , что она девушка , что она вообще в этом может понимать xD , это при том , что у меня на тот момент от силы было 1 месяц опыта. Это был самый "дискриминирующий" случай, который я видел
мужик этот козлина, женщины умнее и в разы порядочнее современных мужчинок , мне жаль наших женщин, которые не смогут найти себе пару среди Наших Военных или Рабочих , остальные - это абсолютный позор и балласт

This is Moscow. Moscow is not Russia. The smartest and most educated people in the country flock there, as does all the money. The rest of Russia is like neo slums
Im 27F from Moscow and i never was discriminated based on my gender (lets not talk about family lol) in fact i only got better treatment as a woman. I make more money than my husband i got promoted at my work after only 2 years because i work hard, and also my man treats me like a princess. Russian man are trully amasing and i want to be "a little girl" in the relationship but i also can be lioness at work)) More and more women here open their own businesses, one of my sisters has her own shop and other one opened her company with cool AI projects. I think about opening my own business in the future) Overall i think we have a great balance of equality and femininity
This is a great video with logical personal insights into the cultural diversity that exists in modern society. I applaud the creator for making top quality content and displaying it in a raw, realistic and pragmatic context. Congratulations on doing a superb job!
Love the way these women think . I have daughter and told her the exact same thing yes we are equal in value but not the same. Men has his strength and weakness and woman has hers and so we balance each other . You know ying /yang or heads and tails of a coin . 1 can't be exist without the other. mutual love and respect is the key . Behind every great man is his woman .
Here in the US, it is still normal for a man to pay for a meal on a date. However, it is very common to split the bill, usually if the woman requests it.
Yeah, russia should totally stay as it is: the culture where laws work on paper only, where corruption, bribery, nepotism are widespread, where the percentage of acquittals in court is 1%, where for expressing dissenting political opinions you can be viciously beaten by Putin's hounds called the police, where de facto religious blasphemy laws can put you in jail for posting memes, where you will be prosecuted and jailed if you evade mandatory military service, during which you will clean toilets with a fork because it makes the deds laugh, or even be raped, a culture where people can easily get physical in a verbal altercation because ты на кого быканул то ёпт, and you will have no legal recourse afterwards, where you can be assaulted by gopniks powered by beer if they don't like your hair colour or if you just walk alone at night, or if you're gay, and the police will laugh at you when you come to them for help - that russia should stay the same? I ran far far away and across the ocean from this hellhole when I finally got a chance.
@@SolitaryReaper666 Every place has its flaws, most of what you said above applies many countries, including mine. When we say stay the same Russia, we mean in terms of the topic of this video.
Though I'm an old married man I do enjoy hearing what Russian people have to say and what they feel. Thank you for these videos. Hello from the state of UTAH in the u.s.a., johann
This is really interesting. It seems that since Russian women are a little more removed from the left wing ideologies that are taking over the western world, they actually have a little more of an objective opinion about feminist values. And what's particularly interesting to me is how they feel more free or comfortable to agree with some claims or values and disagree with others. To me that shows a greater presence of freedom of thought than what we see in the west, where left wing ideologies promote such loud activism and insist on compliance and are generally more authoritarian that people are probably a little more scared to admit any disagreements with any claims or beliefs within the political movement.
I've heared that western society is generally more "authoritarian", meaning that it demands comliance with some common point of view inside a social group. In Russia on the other hand everyone may have his own opinion and it is accepted (buy not shared) by others, so it is kind of anarchy, but political powers are much more authoritarian this divides live into personal side were you're free to express yourself unofficially, and official where you should demonstrate loyality.
As a Russian that moved to Europe, I do confirm that there is no freedom of speech, neither the freedom of thought here in Europe. I have to hide a lot of my personal opinions and view points. Let alone how they managed covid here 🤯🤯🤯
It is so cool how all girls are super smart and aware of so many things. there are some people who are extremely ignorant and don't even respect each other. Awesome video!
Man and woman are equal. But a man has to pay, pay and pay again. Russian women. After reading the women's forums where it is discussed how to make a man pay upon divorce, I became very cynical towards Russian women. My ex-wife believed that a woman should not work at all. And the man owes her because she is beautiful. She hasn't worked a day in our 15 year marriage. She was unable to graduate from university with 3 attempts. She was unable to obtain a car license. She didn't clean the house. She didn't cook. She cheated on me. And according to her, I was to blame for all this. I'm happy that we got divorced. And unfortunately, there are more and more such Russian women.
In Russia there are very aggressive men, they really hate feminists, so many women are forced to take a position against feminism without understanding the essence of the movement. This speaks first of all about the superficiality of all judgments
I am old school American. Chivalry, respect, and honor for all females. And of course, man always initiates "romantic interest" (if a girl seems interested) and man always, opens the doors, drives the car, and of course, pays for a date.
I use to think that way, but feminism has killed it. "A woman can do anything a man can do." Well then have at it but don't expect me to open doors, give you my seat or any "Chivalry" Going on a date... it's dutch (each pay their half) Marriage for men in the USA is a losing proposition.
@@risefast184 TBH, I'm 63, so most of the females that I date are old school. In fact, all of the ones I have dated in the last 20 years have great appreciation for what they perceived as lost (chivalry)
I like that girls in Russia seem to be quite gentle and kind, also, you are beautiful. Personally, I see feminists around the world becoming more and more aggressive toward men, which is something that has nothing to do with equality. There are aspects of each gender that are innate and natural and I don't think they can be forced to be the same. We as human family, need harmony, mutual respect, compassion and collaboration.
@@nairobipwfl lol good luck enacting that. If that would really happen, the males would wipe out every single female. Don't think you're some sort of gods
Here's a clearer version: The reality is that in many cases, women expect men to cover all expenses and manage finances, especially in countries like Russia where the cost of living is lower. In places like the USA and Europe, it's not feasible to rely solely on one person's income due to the high cost of living - rent, food, insurance, and other expenses add up quickly.
In my many visits to Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, and many other former USSR countries, I generally noticed something about people there, I noticed a high level of mutual respect between men and women. Furthermore, from my personal experience, I felt much more respected and appreciated as a man in Russia, Ukraine, and the rest of ex USSR countries than in the West. I also felt that Russian people generally have reached that level of maturity and inner peace when it comes to relations between men and women (not saying they're perfect) but they're certainly ahead of their counterparts in the West...
@@vladimirnikolskiy Exactly! Clumping all Eastern Europeans or even all Russians together is illogical and will give the deformed view of the society. Educated, motivated, polite men and women respect each other because neither can raise a family on their own. Even with two parents household, grandparents need to help out. Women in Soviet world were revered at least politically and in mainstream media, but also practically women could work any job, should they be able to do it. Being successful professionally or in relationship is by no means a matter of mere luck - success comes from a lot of hard work and learning from the mistakes.
интересно, что девушки, ощущающие дискриминацию в одной области, далее в вопросах также имели стереотипные взгляды на мужчин. Например, женщина должна работать и развиваться, но платить и водить по интересным местам должен мужчина. Мне кажется, это все обоюдно тогда. Потому что я знаю девушек, которые по отношению к себе никогда дискриминацию не испытывали, но и сами никого не стереотипировали.
I live in a province Russian town and work in a big factory, most of the top chief positions are taken by women. There are many married couples working here and the wives got higher positions and earn more money (relates to me and my husband also). Actually never through my life i saw that women around me had somehow less opportunities in life. I dare to say that women have more rights in Russia than men. It s actually even in the legislation, women are socially, financially and traditionally more protected here. And also we can add the fact that most of the time men are the ones who pay and it s considered that they are obliged to support the family and be the strong shoulder. So either a woman s successful or not, it s up to her and there s no pressure for her (except the case when the family is poor and a woman is pressured to work hard). But men are pressured and stressful to maintain the strong image. So i actually pity our men a bit lol
The fact that this is how it is in your experience doesn’t mean it’s like that everywhere. And while yes, women do have some privileges over men in Russia, women usually get paid less, they do a lot of unpaid labour, they face harassment men do not. So I pity women more
@@Fijkast just wait when you get a false accusation of sexual harassment that you clearly didn't do it. She does it because she hates you or other reasons. And you definitely end up in jail because police and judges much believe the women more than men lol You have already lost your future even though your case is still ongoing. There's no such innocent until proven guilty for men who get false accusations.
Мне так жаль, что большинство девушек с видео просто не понимают что такое феминизм. Это не борьба за равноправие, это не ненависть к мужчинам, это борьба за права ЖЕНЩИН и я полностью поддерживаю ту девушку, которая сказала, что если знать смысл слова, то очень странно не быть феминисткой.
Я вот не понимаю. За какие равные права борются феминистки, если у нас они и так уже давно есть. Вы историю в школе проходили? Ещё в 30-х годах при СССР началось движение за освоение женщинами мужских профессий. Моя мама заканчивала инженерную специальность. И работала на заводе. Моя теща заканчивала лучший в СССР химический институт и работала химиком-технологом. А это сердце завода: именно химик-технолог решает какие именно ингредиенты и в какой пропорции нужно смешивать, чтобы получилось хорошее моющее средство или яблочный сок, или ещё какая продукция. Хочешь - работаешь по любой специальность, хочешь - выбираешь сидеть дома с детьми. Голосовать? Это право у нас есть. Учится и работать там где хочешь? Это право у нас есть. Отправить мужа в декретный отпуск вместо себя? Это право у нас есть. Домашние обязанности? Это решается индивидуально в каждой семье. Так за какие равные права вы боретесь, если они у нас и так уже давно есть?

I am from California. Even when I was nearly poor and just cared about surfing all day, I always paid for a date, even if it was a wealthy girl who expected to pay. ( I married a poor girl later: ) This was a long time ago and now it's more common to split the bill here. I also tell my son to pay for the bill or don't go out, make a picnic basket instead and just watch the stars : )
Very interesting serious of interviews! It seems that the biggest difference between women in Eastern Europe and the West is the absence of radical feminism in general. In Ireland where I was born, the younger generations split the bill most likely while over 40 y.o. most women would still expect the man to pay on a date.
Here in the USA, as an American born woman (39 years old) of Slavic descent I can say I would never consider dating a man (leading toward marriage) if he refuses to pay the full bill. I don't waste my time. They are cut right from the beginning if I sense they have jumped on the feminist bandwagon and acting feminine, expecting me to take on an "equality"/masculine role. No way.
@@evgeniam685 It's good if it's not expected and demanded. Because if it's the latter, it may just be playing a game. As a guy I always expect to pay the bill because that's what's expected by tradition- but I have a little less respect for women not evolved enough to be willing to be more independent.
The girl at the library might be a bit radical on the inside, you can see she's getting worked up over the issues as she's talking about them, there's this anger and agitation in her eyes.
I once dated an Argentinian man and he expected me to pay. He said it’s normal in Argentina for the woman to pay for the man although most of the time it’s 50/50. Is that true?
@@sophiewood6476 The problem in this case is how feminism affected this country. Traditional values were branded as retrograde and sexist, therefore behaviors such as chivalry were losing popularity and frowned upon by the most radical sector of feminism. Some men do not want to be labeled as sexist and accept the deal of paying 50/50 despite being a bit against it. Others, on the other hand, take advantage of this to get their way and make the woman pay alone, but these are very isolated cases. I had not heard anyone make that claim. That Argentinian you had a date with is not worth it. Nor is anyone else who comes to you with that same approach. Luckily, I perceive that things are changing little by little... there is still a long way to go, but these traditional values are being revived.
@@FriedMyLittleBrains666 Thank you for the answer. I really didn’t want to let that one single experience let me get a negative impression of Argentinian men. I haven’t met many Argentinians but I kinda had a feeling that he must have been an exception and not an accurate representation of the majority of Argentinian men so thank you for the reassurance
Whenever I'm out with my friends (male, female both) we always split our bill. If I'm out with a friend (male) or met one somewhere still we spilt our bill. In case of dating it depends on individual choices and personality. Some women prefer to spilt the bill some don't. Haven't dated anyone but if I go on a date I'll always pay my own bill. I feel uncomfortable if someone pays my bill. India
Feminism started out with lofty ideas but got coopted along the way. NOW it's all about DESTROYING the family unit. People need to seriously wake up to this.
Feminism to me is being able to go to school, vote, work, etc. (I am American.) I am being raised by a hard working father (who does have childhood trauma, abusive mother, drug addict father) and my mother who has trouble with a lot of stuff too and doesn't enjoy leaving the house, My father, because of his poor childhood, really appreciates family. He works very hard and comes home to a clean house, warm meals, warm bath, and a wife who rubs out his tense muscles (His are very tense, professional carpenters who are a one men crew are like that.) It's worth it to both of them, My mother gets to be cared for, she's not discriminated against at all unless it's her discriminating against herself because of her issues. It's worth it to my father because for once in his life he finally has family, and he's finally loved. I don't want my husband hurting or anything, but when I do start dating and or get married, I want to be able to comfort someone like that while I am also cared for. I don't see why women would hate that so much, you literally get treated like a princess and all the man asks for is a clean house, food, and a little less pain in return. All he's asking for is love. Don't get me started on them hating men who hold the door open for them. They'd scream at my father, he holds the door open for everyone, even strangers, regardless of gender. He'd hold the door open for them politely and they'd go off on them, and then I'd be arrested for smacking a girl. I swear. Our society hasn't progressed, it has degressed.
So I have been living in Russia for 19 years , and I want to say that u will not face discrimination if u have character and self-confidence, u will be able to build a career just like any man, and gender stereotypes in our country are gradually coming to naught🙏
Гендерные стереотипы касаются в основном поведения женщины в семье. В царской России женщины получили право на собственные паспорта только в 1914 году, а в 1917 году после революции женщины получили абсолютно равные права с мужчинами во всех сферах жизни. Я не уверена, что в Европе или Америке 60-70 гг. были министры, директора предприятий, депутаты, судьи, космонавты-женщины. Так что весь этот западный феминизм, с требованием привилегий идет лесом
In New Zealand it's the guys who traditionally pay for a meal on a date (or at least the first couple of dates) but when some girls sometimes like to pay there own way for a variety of reasons like they are not obliged to go out with the man again or to show that they are an independent woman
Apart from the beauty aspect, all these Russian women really seem to know what they want, they are very eloquent, confident, educated,... All very attractive qualities. Here in BEL splitting bills is quite normal, it all depends on the situation. I'm a fan of equality, but as a society we still have a long way to go. Yes, also in 'the West'. Meanwhile, let's just have mutual respect for each other. Great video, Eli!
Right, they seem to. And thats also the crack. In movies and faked showes everything always seem to be so nice. But beleive me, life is not made of pink ponnys, rainbows and glitter.

You definitely make such good videos and touch on such interesting topics. I enjoy watching your videos and learning more about Russia's diversity of viewpoints, cultures and regions. Keep going!!!
The solution to gender problem is summarized in a few words. Love, kindness, patience, respect. When that is what commands your actions, things aim at a great outcome. There is no need to fight when these words are delivered.
I was raised by a father who took good care pof my mother. My brothers and I know that it is the best thing to do by paying for everything on the ist and possibly 2nd and third dates. Shows respect and care for the woman you are socializing with.
What I found most interesting was the diversity of opinions and the fact that they seemed to be genuine and not just repeating what they think they are supposed to say. And, they’re gorgeous.

Yeah, but will it be equitable? If women expect to be pampered and strongly expect that, boys and men may be more likely to subtly or not-so-subtly dismiss certain human adult aspects of them; and vice-versa.
In Russia, a woman and a man are not equal. In Russia, a man should always, a woman can in many cases choose to be strong or weak. A woman's choice is always influenced by circumstances.

As an American I love these videos on UA-cam because they bring the human element to the table when countries are torn between policies. In the end we only have each other.
What always calls attention in these videos is how well educated the people are on them, how regular people can express themselves in complex ways. If you contrast this with some other major countries like the US, the educational system speaks volumes.
They chose those people on purpose. All of them are probably from a university. Like common,. do you think they go into some desert 500km away from moskow just for this interview ? probably not lol
@@Maximum7077 If you interview the same group in the US there is a lot of "yo bruh i dunno man" deeply retarded, especially now they enter by woke quotas and not SAT score
@@Maximum7077 As a girl from Russia, I want to tell you education is mostly similar in different regions of Russia. So, all schools have the same program of studying. And when pupils graduate a school they are already educated enough to express themselves. I know the pupils have different program of studying in the USA depending on the school or region. Of course there are such people which can't express thoughts in a structured and consistent manner, but there are very few of them. I think there are such people everywhere and in every country. By the way the education in the university is not the most important thing that is an index of educations or knowleanges. In Russia it is mostly outdated trend. You know when your parents told you that you must go to the university otherwise you will be miserable and poor... But the education in the Russian university is extremely outdated and inefficient often. That is why many people try to go foreign universities. And many employers pay attention to the experience. So unfortinantly Russian education is useless for many people...
They are bit behind in terms of feminism over there, after a few generations the destructive effect of feminism will have degenerated their minds as well.
Russia has a very good education and it's true, but for some reason the best institutions of Russia, MSU and MGIMO, in the world ranking are for some reason ranked 100th 😁🤣🤣🤣
While talking about being a feminist with friends I realized that every country has it own definition of what it actually really is.
If the actual theory was taught in schools all countries would be on the same page about what feminism is. If people don’t teach kids about communism they will not recognize a communist takeover until it is too late. One look at the West today and it’s obvious.

@@wadafik Why do women need rights.. everyone are born with rights. Russian women are educated. Women choose to give up rights and all westerners are triggered
@Marco Zepeda anger depends on who was provocative . If courts value emotional hurt then it is tangible and you can retaliate with physical hurt and vice versa.
But you are missing the main point. You are being with a partner because you trust them. If you get hit by your partner, then leave the partnership because trust is broken. I don't understand why courts have to get involved in a human relationship. If you can't even trust the person you choose and use government to create security (domestic abuse laws) for you to be with your partner, then that's not a real relationship. It's failing and inability on your part to successful judge your partners character. That's just projecting your insecurity on other person just for you to feel safe. No one needs rights for anyone. Rights are a lie to transfer power. For instance , creating domestic abuse laws will give the emotional abuser a leverage over physical abuser. There is a subconscious threat placed on you and you will feel repressed.
@@emergence8217 You can't give up the rights you are born with. They probably choose to surrender, that's different than giving up personal rights.

You mean not obese with a ton of make up and fake eyelashes? I wish the same, because living in UK, I found most of the local women not fit for dating. The looks, the way they dress. It's like they don't care. It is not meant as an insult, just an observation.
@@nodrinkingproblemhere9095 To be fair this is obviously not an accurate representation of all Russian women. Moscow is where more intelligent and nuanced people live and work. In my family, if you are even able to get a job in Moscow after finishing uni, it means you’ve made it.
Dont forget who behind those girls. Their fathers, mothers and brothers.
U wish english women traditional? Just educate your women? Cause your country is fallen even compared to mine (italy).

one almost litteraly said i like to be seen as weak so i can take less responsability,its fine if thats youre choice but dont hide behind it be honest about it just say i dont want equal rights i want my traditional woman role so a traditional guy knows she is the woman for him.
i am not a traditional person when it comes to a partner, i like a woman who is equal but who can ask for help if she needs help or even just wants help but not a woman who wil use the am not equal card i dont like that.

@@maxhirsch7035 I think you went ahead and assumed a whole lot. You’re also throwing out the evolutionary differences between genders and the nuances there within. Since humanity began, men have catered to women in various ways to try and gain access to sex. “Going out “ and men paying for women is just a modern version of that. It also doesn’t mean that the participation of both genders in this “ dance” equates either one to being lesser or worth more. I was being a bit facetious, though. Women are free to pay for their own drinks-thats completely fine.

I think people often confused personal roles in personal relationships with questions about social justice. For example, the struggle for making sure that women get paid on par with men, or that women should have the same education opportunities, is about equal access to economic and social resources. That is not the same thing as gender roles in a marriage, or a romance. From the interviews it seems that these Russian women like traditional gender roles in relationships, but are mostly positive about equality in other areas. I think this is an important distinction and it is valid to make it. Of course, the two do influence each other somewhat, but they don't have to necessarily.
"...The struggle for making sure that women get paid on par with men, or that women should have the same education opportunities, is about equal access to economic and social resources."
I don't think you can rationally dis-entangle the two, without wrecking what makes it possible for women to make the much-improved choices they've already gained through advanced economies. Economies cannot overcome scarcity by paying more. Quite the opposite, scarcity is overcome by producing more with less.
One of the largest "problems" (although that's not objective) is that women are FAR more likely to choose to take time off for child bearing and rearing, often for many years. Which means they lose far more years of valuable experience in the workforce. To the extent we already (or want to) try to force firms to pay them more to make up for that, the less output/cost would simply be passed on in prices to women's families, and would fall disproportionately on the poor, since the poor rely much more heavily than the middle class and wealthy on productivity (labor), rather than passive investments.
Government can involve itself to make it appear that this problem is solved (i.e., through regulation, subsidies, preferential treatment of larger companies, etc, which is itself, incredibly dangerous), but it is all appearance. Unfortunately, we're already WAY down that road, as corporatism and special (corporate and bureaucratic) interest domination has already taken over the U.S. to an alarming degree. Contrary to a LOT of wishful thinking, economic laws are not magically overcome by government and egalitarian-speak; and governments are incredibly dangerous (and violent) mechanisms for social engineering.

Men and women should be equal in terms of having equal access to economic opportunities and equal protection under the law. Men and women will naturally sort themselves out in society, anything that is forced will probably not work out too well.

@@Anamewhowasnottaken Well, the biggest discrepancy in the video is how majority of them want to be strong and independent, but expect to be catered for.
But I presume you are asking about translations. I just sometimes follow the subtitles out of linguistic and cultural interest to see how much gets lost in translation and this one jumped out at me, cos the translator is obviously trying to put words into the respondent’s mouth. I don’t think anybody needs to be paranoid about subtitles per se since it is much easier to misinterpret the content due to very different cultural backgrounds than due to imperfect translation.
Exactly correct you are!!

I was fortunate to be raised by a wonderful mother who was a nurse and who fought and lead her profession to having their own Professional Union. She was a woman in all respects but taught me and my sister that equal responsibility and equal respect was the only way. She was a feminist at heart but would never use a title at that time to describe her beliefs of equality. She taught that child baring and nurturing was important but the values in raising was to be shared. She is 93.

Мне нравится, что вы показали разные точки зрения. У нас может быть очень субъективная точка зрения на этот вопрос в обществе. Например, я училась в Москве на технической специальности. У меня были моменты, когда старые преподаватели относились в девушкам более снисходительно, многие относились одинаково. Однако при всем этом декан факультета (аэросмический) женщина. Достаточно женщин преподавателей по математике физике и т.д. В дальнейшем по профессии (IT) также встречала много женщин на разных позициях. Однако, я все равно понимаю, что это только одна сторона и где-то еще может встречаться дискриминация. Однако все мы люди, и все мы разные🤷♀️ как-то так
Женщины (умные) неизбежно должны быть феминистками, потому что они прекрасно понимают разницу где отношения а где их общественный вклад в будущее детей. И когда в последнем варианте (на службе итд) мужчины делают вид что соблюдают понятия равенства, а закулисно решают исключительно в свою пользу - это надо ломать, это такой же принципиальный вопрос женской роли в заботе о потомстве, как и тема "хранения очага", включающая между делом суровую дрессировку чувства заботы у будущих отцов

Ну вообще-то я понимаю всё очень хорошо. вашу реакцию тоже понимаю. США не идеал, но стремится.

This is really interesting. It seems that since Russian women are a little more removed from the left wing ideologies that are taking over the western world, they actually have a little more of an objective opinion about feminist values.
And what's particularly interesting to me is how they feel more free or comfortable to agree with some claims or values and disagree with others. To me that shows a greater presence of freedom of thought than what we see in the west, where left wing ideologies promote such loud activism and insist on compliance and are generally more authoritarian that people are probably a little more scared to admit any disagreements with any claims or beliefs within the political movement.
Best comment. Reading my mind
I think same thing
Wish everyone thought like you. ❤
I've heared that western society is generally more "authoritarian", meaning that it demands comliance with some common point of view inside a social group. In Russia on the other hand everyone may have his own opinion and it is accepted (buy not shared) by others, so it is kind of anarchy, but political powers are much more authoritarian this divides live into personal side were you're free to express yourself unofficially, and official where you should demonstrate loyality.
As a Russian that moved to Europe, I do confirm that there is no freedom of speech, neither the freedom of thought here in Europe. I have to hide a lot of my personal opinions and view points. Let alone how they managed covid here 🤯🤯🤯

bro i hope you get old school women or else you are huge simp.
@@risefast184 TBH, I'm 63, so most of the females that I date are old school. In fact, all of the ones I have dated in the last 20 years have great appreciation for what they perceived as lost (chivalry)
You have that ‘it’ factor that makes a UA-cam channel successful❤️ can’t wait to watch your channel grow!
I like that girls in Russia seem to be quite gentle and kind, also, you are beautiful.
Personally, I see feminists around the world becoming more and more aggressive toward men, which is something that has nothing to do with equality. There are aspects of each gender that are innate and natural and I don't think they can be forced to be the same. We as human family, need harmony, mutual respect, compassion and collaboration.
after everything men had done to women you should be grateful that girls now want just equality not revenge
@@nairobipwfl ha, you're kidding right..
@@nairobipwfl lol, imagine putting the blame on the entire male gender
@@nairobipwfl lol good luck enacting that. If that would really happen, the males would wipe out every single female. Don't think you're some sort of gods
@@nairobipwfl What are you talking about?
Here's a clearer version:
The reality is that in many cases, women expect men to cover all expenses and manage finances, especially in countries like Russia where the cost of living is lower. In places like the USA and Europe, it's not feasible to rely solely on one person's income due to the high cost of living - rent, food, insurance, and other expenses add up quickly.
Nonsense. In Russia, salaries are lower, and here one person will not be able to provide for a family properly.
In my many visits to Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, and many other former USSR countries, I generally noticed something about people there, I noticed a high level of mutual respect between men and women. Furthermore, from my personal experience, I felt much more respected and appreciated as a man in Russia, Ukraine, and the rest of ex USSR countries than in the West. I also felt that Russian people generally have reached that level of maturity and inner peace when it comes to relations between men and women (not saying they're perfect) but they're certainly ahead of their counterparts in the West...
I have seen always the opposite in Russia
@@franza2109 It all depends on which company you are in. There is an old proverb - Tell me who is around you and I will tell you who you are!)
@@vladimirnikolskiy ну там про друзей говорилось
@@vladimirnikolskiy Exactly! Clumping all Eastern Europeans or even all Russians together is illogical and will give the deformed view of the society. Educated, motivated, polite men and women respect each other because neither can raise a family on their own. Even with two parents household, grandparents need to help out. Women in Soviet world were revered at least politically and in mainstream media, but also practically women could work any job, should they be able to do it. Being successful professionally or in relationship is by no means a matter of mere luck - success comes from a lot of hard work and learning from the mistakes.
You were more respected because people from west aren't common in post-soviet countries.
no one wants equality, everyone wants preferences
Long live russian people and God bless the beloved russian nation.

thanks for sharing, ❤ from Australia.
I think your interviewees had well nuanced perspectives. We are equal, but not the same and that's ok.
интересно, что девушки, ощущающие дискриминацию в одной области, далее в вопросах также имели стереотипные взгляды на мужчин. Например, женщина должна работать и развиваться, но платить и водить по интересным местам должен мужчина. Мне кажется, это все обоюдно тогда. Потому что я знаю девушек, которые по отношению к себе никогда дискриминацию не испытывали, но и сами никого не стереотипировали.
I live in a province Russian town and work in a big factory, most of the top chief positions are taken by women. There are many married couples working here and the wives got higher positions and earn more money (relates to me and my husband also). Actually never through my life i saw that women around me had somehow less opportunities in life. I dare to say that women have more rights in Russia than men. It s actually even in the legislation, women are socially, financially and traditionally more protected here. And also we can add the fact that most of the time men are the ones who pay and it s considered that they are obliged to support the family and be the strong shoulder. So either a woman s successful or not, it s up to her and there s no pressure for her (except the case when the family is poor and a woman is pressured to work hard). But men are pressured and stressful to maintain the strong image. So i actually pity our men a bit lol
I appreciate your honesty, it's not common even among most educated women in our country.
finally someone with some brain cells...
I am a man and I absolutely agree
The fact that this is how it is in your experience doesn’t mean it’s like that everywhere. And while yes, women do have some privileges over men in Russia, women usually get paid less, they do a lot of unpaid labour, they face harassment men do not. So I pity women more
@@Fijkast just wait when you get a false accusation of sexual harassment that you clearly didn't do it. She does it because she hates you or other reasons.
And you definitely end up in jail because police and judges much believe the women more than men lol
You have already lost your future even though your case is still ongoing.
There's no such innocent until proven guilty for men who get false accusations.
The girl that last talked in the video was really honest and cool person :)
Мне так жаль, что большинство девушек с видео просто не понимают что такое феминизм. Это не борьба за равноправие, это не ненависть к мужчинам, это борьба за права ЖЕНЩИН и я полностью поддерживаю ту девушку, которая сказала, что если знать смысл слова, то очень странно не быть феминисткой.
Я вот не понимаю. За какие равные права борются феминистки, если у нас они и так уже давно есть. Вы историю в школе проходили? Ещё в 30-х годах при СССР началось движение за освоение женщинами мужских профессий. Моя мама заканчивала инженерную специальность. И работала на заводе. Моя теща заканчивала лучший в СССР химический институт и работала химиком-технологом. А это сердце завода: именно химик-технолог решает какие именно ингредиенты и в какой пропорции нужно смешивать, чтобы получилось хорошее моющее средство или яблочный сок, или ещё какая продукция. Хочешь - работаешь по любой специальность, хочешь - выбираешь сидеть дома с детьми.
Голосовать? Это право у нас есть. Учится и работать там где хочешь? Это право у нас есть. Отправить мужа в декретный отпуск вместо себя? Это право у нас есть. Домашние обязанности? Это решается индивидуально в каждой семье. Так за какие равные права вы боретесь, если они у нас и так уже давно есть?

I am from California. Even when I was nearly poor and just cared about surfing all day, I always paid for a date, even if it was a wealthy girl who expected to pay. ( I married a poor girl later: ) This was a long time ago and now it's more common to split the bill here. I also tell my son to pay for the bill or don't go out, make a picnic basket instead and just watch the stars : )
Robert, you are great.
Perfect opinion
You're raised a gentleman
Very interesting serious of interviews! It seems that the biggest difference between women in Eastern Europe and the West is the absence of radical feminism in general. In Ireland where I was born, the younger generations split the bill most likely while over 40 y.o. most women would still expect the man to pay on a date.
Which is normal. This is last thing that left from chivalry. Being courteous and taking care of your woman is good
ua-cam.com/video/1jeH7n3L0VU/v-deo.html Be with me( Dimash)
Here in the USA, as an American born woman (39 years old) of Slavic descent I can say I would never consider dating a man (leading toward marriage) if he refuses to pay the full bill. I don't waste my time. They are cut right from the beginning if I sense they have jumped on the feminist bandwagon and acting feminine, expecting me to take on an "equality"/masculine role. No way.
@@evgeniam685 It's good if it's not expected and demanded. Because if it's the latter, it may just be playing a game. As a guy I always expect to pay the bill because that's what's expected by tradition- but I have a little less respect for women not evolved enough to be willing to be more independent.
The girl at the library might be a bit radical on the inside, you can see she's getting worked up over the issues as she's talking about them, there's this anger and agitation in her eyes.
Russian women use common sense, and that's why I love them.
Greetings from Argentina.
I once dated an Argentinian man and he expected me to pay. He said it’s normal in Argentina for the woman to pay for the man although most of the time it’s 50/50.
Is that true?
@@sophiewood6476 The problem in this case is how feminism affected this country. Traditional values were branded as retrograde and sexist, therefore behaviors such as chivalry were losing popularity and frowned upon by the most radical sector of feminism.
Some men do not want to be labeled as sexist and accept the deal of paying 50/50 despite being a bit against it. Others, on the other hand, take advantage of this to get their way and make the woman pay alone, but these are very isolated cases. I had not heard anyone make that claim.
That Argentinian you had a date with is not worth it. Nor is anyone else who comes to you with that same approach. Luckily, I perceive that things are changing little by little... there is still a long way to go, but these traditional values are being revived.
@@FriedMyLittleBrains666 Thank you for the answer. I really didn’t want to let that one single experience let me get a negative impression of Argentinian men. I haven’t met many Argentinians but I kinda had a feeling that he must have been an exception and not an accurate representation of the majority of Argentinian men so thank you for the reassurance
Whenever I'm out with my friends (male, female both) we always split our bill. If I'm out with a friend (male) or met one somewhere still we spilt our bill. In case of dating it depends on individual choices and personality. Some women prefer to spilt the bill some don't. Haven't dated anyone but if I go on a date I'll always pay my own bill. I feel uncomfortable if someone pays my bill.

Feminism started out with lofty ideas but got coopted along the way.
NOW it's all about DESTROYING the family unit. People need to seriously wake up to this.
Feminism to me is being able to go to school, vote, work, etc. (I am American.) I am being raised by a hard working father (who does have childhood trauma, abusive mother, drug addict father) and my mother who has trouble with a lot of stuff too and doesn't enjoy leaving the house, My father, because of his poor childhood, really appreciates family. He works very hard and comes home to a clean house, warm meals, warm bath, and a wife who rubs out his tense muscles (His are very tense, professional carpenters who are a one men crew are like that.) It's worth it to both of them, My mother gets to be cared for, she's not discriminated against at all unless it's her discriminating against herself because of her issues. It's worth it to my father because for once in his life he finally has family, and he's finally loved.
I don't want my husband hurting or anything, but when I do start dating and or get married, I want to be able to comfort someone like that while I am also cared for. I don't see why women would hate that so much, you literally get treated like a princess and all the man asks for is a clean house, food, and a little less pain in return. All he's asking for is love.
Don't get me started on them hating men who hold the door open for them. They'd scream at my father, he holds the door open for everyone, even strangers, regardless of gender. He'd hold the door open for them politely and they'd go off on them, and then I'd be arrested for smacking a girl. I swear. Our society hasn't progressed, it has degressed.
@@Ph0bius_Network Amen.
So I have been living in Russia for 19 years , and I want to say that u will not face discrimination if u have character and self-confidence, u will be able to build a career just like any man, and gender stereotypes in our country are gradually coming to naught🙏
What do you mean becoming to naught?
Like they're becoming like the west when it comes to gender roles?
u don't count as russian cuz u are an immigrant
Гендерные стереотипы касаются в основном поведения женщины в семье. В царской России женщины получили право на собственные паспорта только в 1914 году, а в 1917 году после революции женщины получили абсолютно равные права с мужчинами во всех сферах жизни.
Я не уверена, что в Европе или Америке 60-70 гг. были министры, директора предприятий, депутаты, судьи, космонавты-женщины. Так что весь этот западный феминизм, с требованием привилегий идет лесом
In New Zealand it's the guys who traditionally pay for a meal on a date (or at least the first couple of dates) but when some girls sometimes like to pay there own way for a variety of reasons like they are not obliged to go out with the man again or to show that they are an independent woman
Then they end up a single mom after 500 dicks "ready to settle down someday". Feminism is cancer, men and women are not the same.
Apart from the beauty aspect, all these Russian women really seem to know what they want, they are very eloquent, confident, educated,... All very attractive qualities. Here in BEL splitting bills is quite normal, it all depends on the situation. I'm a fan of equality, but as a society we still have a long way to go. Yes, also in 'the West'. Meanwhile, let's just have mutual respect for each other. Great video, Eli!

The solution to gender problem is summarized in a few words. Love, kindness, patience, respect. When that is what commands your actions, things aim at a great outcome. There is no need to fight when these words are delivered.
I was raised by a father who took good care pof my mother. My brothers and I know that it is the best thing to do by paying for everything on the ist and possibly 2nd and third dates. Shows respect and care for the woman you are socializing with.
