- So I was tagged in the Youtube ladies' survey by Becky,
I'm probably a bit late with all this,
you've probably seen quite a few,
but I'm gonna do it anyway.
Question one, who are your favorite female Youtubers?
Some of the more well-known favorites of mine
include Jenna Marbles, Daily Grace, Lacey Grie
and Anna Hannah Hart.
Some lesser-known Youtubers
are Spiffen Lee Chino and Charlie,
her user name is EdgeOfTheInternet.
Question number two, who are your favorite female athletes?
Jennifer Pinches, yesterday after she did her
gymnastics routine,
she whipped out the nerdfighter gang sign.
So , that was pretty cool, I like her a lot now.
Question number three, what is your favorite book
written by a female, with a female protagonist?
I'm gonna have to go with The Little Princess,
which was written by Francis Hodgson Burnett.
Question number four, what is your favorite film
written by a female with a female protagonist?
As of now it's Bridesmaids
which was written by Kristen Wiig.
Question five, who is your favorite
female fictional character?
This will probably change a lot,
but right now it's Annie Edison, from Community.
Just love Annie, she's so cool.
Question six, what is the biggest problem
facing female creators today, and do you have any solutions?
I feel like female creators aren't taken as seriously
as male creators,
and Kalie made a really good point in the fact that
female creators are seen firstly as female,
and then as creators.
So you'll hear a lot about "Oh, she's a female director,
isn't that great. Oh she's a female comedian."
Not just a comedian, or a director,
which is what men are referred to as.
I think we need to move the focus away
from the fact that we're female, and just appreciate
all creators for their skills and their profession,
regardless of gender.
But I think that'll be a very difficult thing to do,
it's a slow process.
Question seven. Do you think Youtube
and online video in general are better
or worse theaters than television for tackling
the problems and prejudices
that women face in the workplace?
In general, I think Youtube is much better
because everything is user-generated.
I have complete control over what videos I make,
whereas if I was in TV, there would be immediate obstacles
that I would have to overcome.
And although there are still problems on Youtube,
I just think it is better
because anyone can do it, you just need
a camera and an internet connection.
Question number eight.
Is that eight? Yeah.
What do you pledge to do to make the Internet
a better environment for all creators?
I pledge to leave more comments on videos.
And also help other creators
by sharing their videos if I like them.
It's just all about banding together
and helping each other out
and if you like someone's video,
then share it, then tell them.
It really helps support these creators,
and helps them do what they love doing.
Number nine. Tell us a story or secret
featuring women.
When I was 15, we had this woman called Jess
who was living with us.
And I just thought she was amazing.
She was a massive inspiration to me.
She was a bit crazy. Well, very crazy, but in a good way.
She taught me so much.
She made a massive impact on my life
and the way that I see the world and people and things.
And number 10 is tag people.
That was the ladies' survey
and if you haven't done it yet, and you've not been tagged,
just do it, just do it, it's cool, it's fun.
And it's good to get this kind of discussion going
on the Internets.
Thank you for watching and I'll see you guys soon.
Bye.
