He saw what she was doing, turning this from an interview into him justifying all comedians behaviour. Brought her right back down off that high horse and back onto the same level as him.
Yeah he’s a genius he was being provocative back and just to the right level to piss her off but still be quite civilised. The man is a genius with words. And with his level of success he now gives zero fucks I believe his expression. He has no fear he will argue head on!
@@meebrbey lol please explain the difference. You can in a work environment, because there is clearly defined appropriate behavior at work. But this is in the open world where people are free to be who they are. Harassment is in the eye of the beholder, aka, is she attracted to you
What a cheap cop out. They don't do it at work, at least not if they're professional. And they don't rape at work. This is just a shitty "boys will be boys" excuse. Lame as hell. He also goes down a digression about not understanding the crimes, as if that's the point. Jerry is a very very intelligent man. He dodged the question quite well.
Jerry is very good at isolating a question and answering it directly and not being suckered into a debate. He’s funny and a good listener and a very talented comedian. Glad I grew up around his show.
@@WaryofextremesOG How about don't fuck the creeps and choose another career? Nobody owes you a career of a movie star. The majority of women made it without fucking around. Maybe don't go down the easy way? Marilyn Monroe started her entire career by making nude shots and choosing a very sexual styling. She chose the easy way of a bimbo and was surprised that she was treated like one?
@@alexmuenster2102reminded me on the time Phil Hartman interviewed Jerry on Newsradio. And while side in principle with the reporter, it felt like she was trying to put him in the spot. Jerry is smart and you can have a great interview without having to resort to that
That was the best part, she realised that woman have agenda too in life and want to go up not down in social status, so they chase the hot top of the food chain guys; but it was a clash of two things: reality and her objective; and there was fear: am I doing the right thing agreeing with this reality??? error, error, system shutdown in 3, 2 ... 😄😄😄😄
@@zachhiggins3321 "Yelled"? LOL what a snowflake. He raised his voice slightly since she didn't answer the first time. At no point during this interview was he wrong.
@@zachhiggins3321You think "men and women chase after each other" is not a point that stands on its own? I can hardly think of a more obvious tautology.
I like how she tried to make a deal out of him calling her “honey”, and he was essentially like, “ yeah, we’re not doing that.” She was wise to let it go. 😂
Women have condescendingly called me "baby" and "sweetie" but I don't hear women speaking out about that. It's only when it goes the other direction that they suddenly care.
@@zachhiggins3321so it's ok bc of size difference? No man. First most abuse is verbal. 2nd egregious abuse doesn't often begin with size difference but with other power differences incl intimidation, gaslighting, etc. Words matter at least as much as size.
It's not exclusive to "the industry", but "the industry" is a particularly fertile environment for this kind of bad behavior to fester in. Having one person that needs another person to get ahead in a setting in which favoritism is practically the only thing required, that's a recipe for bullying and abuse.
She is trying so very hard to bait him into saying something he'll regret. He sees the game and calls her on it repeatedly. What's impressive is that he does it in a way that simultaneously indicates that he won't be pushed around but at the same time doesn't come off as defensive or petty. He doesn't rise to her provocation. That's tough to do on your feet.
I don't know what interview you watched, but I saw an interviewer ask questions, and Seinfeld giving very thoughtful answers. I did like however how he insisted she'd respond to his "right?", because he probably knows that "men and women chase after each other" nowadays is something people find sounding controversial without having a good reason for it. People are being overly cautious these days because a lot of people do not fully understand what's going on. Some people give up entirely while the movement is a good one. It seems Seinfeld genuinely understands.
The fact that all of you think that what this man is doing is admirable only says you're part of the problem. And yeah, I get that at least one of you appears to be a woman. He could have condemned what was going on without caving to sensationalism, and instead said that men being predatory is just human nature. Gross.
@@selincaka2088 That's not what he said. He said that men and women behaving sexually around each other is human nature. And no, that's not the same as condoning being predatory.
Her wheels were turning, he saw that and got her with that question by having her admit what is one of the most fundamental truths about human behavior before she could twist it and make him look bad. Jerry will always be a genius
Yeah I don't know why the women try to get people like Seinfeld on their side, he's obviously part of the problem. Tried to reach out to him, give him a chance and he calls her honey the first chance. Liberal "feminists" need to grow some balls and drop men out of their equations.
Do women really chase after men the way men do though would be the follow up. In a corporate setting how many times have you heard of females sexually harassing males, and if so, how many would even have a problem with it.
@@hanselthecaretaker Just because men don’t have a problem with it doesn’t mean it doesn’t happen all the time. Women say and do just as much, if not more, sexist things than men because they know they get away with it every time. Women have a real problem being called “honey” but won’t bat an eye to a man being called the same thing by a woman. It isn’t anything to do with sexism, feminism, etc., they just like to complain and act the victim most of the time.
He's 100% right. This is in every industry, in every part of life. Its in the film Industry, its in education, its in coaching, its in the financial world, its in the arts, its in health care........its a humanity problem not one specific industry.
Not "humanity," society and particular institutions. Some are worse than others. His denial that he ever saw anything inappropriate is completely ridiculous. This is a guy who dated a HIGH SCHOOLER when he was fucking 38 years old.
@@tryingtotryistrying I'm not sure we disagree on anything. Harvey Weinstein, Bill Cosby, this latest shit with Prince Andrew... these are not cases of "men and women chasing each other." They are exercises of power that happen to involve sex. That's not to trivialize the sex, because sex as an expression of power is fundamentally violent and traumatic. Seinfeld was in a consensual relationship with someone just over the age of consent, so legally he's in a different category. But his *dismissal* of the wave of #metoo revelations right as they emerge tells you a lot. It takes Jerry Seinfelds (powerful men) looking the other way for Harvey Weinsteins to do what they do.
Yea youre right so lets take your daughter to the casting couch for a try out! Oh wait, you'd be more comfortable if she was working at a law firm, hostessing/waitressing, or even tryed her hand at construction work? Oh gee, why is that?
He's 100% right - every time there's an incident the narrative is "X industry/institution has a sexual harassment issue". No. There's nothing peculiar about that industry. Any place where rich, powerful and influential men are working with women, you have the same issue, whether its the armed services, academia, entertainment, business, law, government, religion or the local library. And it's not a cultural thing either. The same thing happens everywhere around the world and throughout history. But the media can't make hay around something that's been happening since the beginning of time. They have to insist that that particular industry has an issue.
I think the film industry highlights it due to the huge difference between the desperation of the women involved and the power of the executive who was taking advantage of that. It still doesn't make complete sense to me. Like if you got all the starlets in LA right now and had them do a survey asking them if they would polish off a fat, nasty old film exec for a big role, (assuming they were honest) how many of them would say yes? I'd be willing to bet it'd be a double digit percentage. I get Weinstein was a scumbag for exploiting that throughout most of his career but people need to stop acting like this is new or some modern phenomenon. I guess what gets me is that (presumably) every woman who did sexual favors for Weinstein was doing it completely willingly. What kind of agency does the woman who consents to this have? Sure the executive is exerting power over her, but is she not exerting her natural power over him also? If it's a consensual agreement, then both parties are agreeing that it's a fair exchange. If the woman has the power to say no then is she victimized? If the woman understands what she stands to gain, is she a victim? I guess you can argue that the Hollywood starlet didn't have a choice because of their career aspirations, but that doesn't exactly hold water. Prostitutes willingly do the same thing for money, is this really that different? The difference is the starlet gets a role that massively advances her career and makes her lots of money, the prostitute gets a couple hundred bucks. Not to mention the women in the workforce who are willing to try to be seductive for career gain whether the guy initiates it or not. It's absolutely a two way street. There have been women willing to "F their way to the top" throughout all of history, especially modern history. Where's the line where the woman is wrong and malicious and where the man is?
That idea could be when someone sees him for the first time but really anything in the world needs a hell lot of expertise to make it simple for the common people......that's what his style is, a seemingly simple comedy which has an insight and a way of presenting such that it seems childish. Neither Jerry's comedy nor the show Seinfeld is just simple...it's actually very intelligently put up act and ahead of its time the show
@@darrellkramer8097 yes he and lary David wrote lot of the early episodes. And even when they finally had other writers, he and Larry had to aprove every story before it was written and they rewrote/ edited a lot of the script both before and after filming.

You know he’s a billionaire right? Lol usually they aren’t idiots. However, Jerry is not only smart but a straight forward and morally strong human being. Hence why this didn’t turn into a basic bait, trap, and argument.
00:55 i love how he forces her to admit the obvious instead of just asking the questions and putting all the liability on him. that's gold, jerry... 'ts gold!!!
Me too lol. Too often the corner person just keeps talking facts they then pick the least important to sedate thinking it offsets all the important points. Good move Jerry, maybe lots experience dealing with self serving sneaky people or something. Not chasing anyone's approval has enough of a support base and F U money not to need it.

@David Bowens you have the most accurate answer. Kids get called honey too. He was basically remarking on her naïveté. But bless her heart though. Sheesh. 🙄
@Stuart Beatty How can you not be aware that an idiom doesn't exclusively mean the same thing as the literal definition of the words in it? "Bless your heart" is an idiom so commonly used in certain regions that it no longer has exclusively religion meaning. How can you not know that? Are you just pretending to be obtuse?
Exactly. Women say ‘Sweetheart’ in the same context. Is that sexist? No. She wanted to make it seem so, and he just brushed her off. With no leg to stand on, she moved on. She can’t show this to make him seem sexist because objectively it isnt. Bill Burr used that too to a female heckler, and it didnt give him any trouble. That’s precisely the problem with cancel culture; people are scared to use a lot of common-use expressions for fear of being canceled. The trick is not to be baited into defending it in a way that makes it seem sexist; because That, more than the word is what will get you. The expression is just that, an idiom.
Okay, Jerry, but some men are doling out lottery winning money and careers, and ruining actresses working lives. Yeah, a manager at a burger joint might want to flirt with or touch a young woman there, but when she rebuffs him he can't make it so she doesn't ever work with food again.
Yup, he took all the power back with that second "right?" He made her say yes. She basically submitted to a Harvey weinatein move lmfao its what makes it so funny.

@@stretch90 I think he's telling the truth. Its why he differentiats between "seeing something" and being surprised when it all came out. He knew it was happening, just never saw it happening in front of him. I also think a lot of people knew stuff but didn't realize how bad that stuff was. Kevin Smith talks about knowing Weinstein cheated on his wife but thought that's all it was. I also don't think he's being defensive. Just straight to the point.
@Fog Bear yikes man. A life of rejection given you a bitter outlook huh. Sexism only looks bad on you, it doesn't make a difference in how things actually are. You're allowed to live with your hate and bitterness, that's your right, im just not sure why you'd want to.
What is difficult in these scenarios is straying the coversation from being hostile, while still conveying your point. Given the context, those were some fantastic social skills.
Fuck you money, unparalleled success and confidence is bullet proof. Larry David says that he wishes he could be the character he portrays on Curb. I think it's Jerry who's his inspiration whether he realizes it or not.
In November 2021, C.K. was nominated for the Grammy Award for Best Comedy Album for his special Sincerely, Louis C.K ... that tells you everything you need to about that industry.
@sbowesuk I don't know if mentioning honey is disrespectful in anyway, it just wouldn't be in a formal conversation one would have with a president or queen. It is taking the liberty to be casual in your conversation. And I see elders addressing younger ones often irrespective of gender. I have been addressed 'honey' by elderly waitresses and she is no celeb.

True but the sad part is that his point is the he didn't see it. Her point is that's not the same as it's not there. This difference largely amounts to whether "x" is something that may happen to you. That's the sad part.
She laughed because she is not used to being challenged on her whiny bullshit. She'll shit-talk him afterwards privately to her fellow, HR-centric allies. But she'll smile at him if she ever sees him again.
@@johnassal5838 He did not say "it's not there". She asked him if he saw any inappropriate conduct and he said no. This is why the meaning of the term "inappropriate conduct" is really important. So he clarifies and says that there was a lot of behavior in general that he disagreed with. I mean you watched the interview yourself and didn't bother to understand what *he* was saying. But moreover, she's not there to make a point to him or educate him on anything. She's a journalist. Her job to get his thoughts and reactions on certain matters and convey them to a wider audience. The real shame is that people don't realize the danger involved here in how she could take his earnest answers and twist them to say something he didn't intend. "Seinfeld defends sexual misconduct of friend and college".
By starting with calling her honey which is harassment 😂Jerry was part of the whole scene with Harvey 😂what do all these men have in common they're Jewish 😂the most vile race of people to ever live

He did it to make a point I am sure. Context being one of them. To isolate this issue as an "industry issue" when it is an issue of the human condition entirely...well bless your heart. It's naive and he spoke to her like he knew she was smarter than that.
Everyone's talking about the "honey" interaction but low-key that's the most intelligent thing I've heard about the me too movement. It's not new, it's not confined to the "industry", it's about the global difference between the sexes.
When he said “honey”, I thought of a southern woman. Like Seinfield is a southern woman at heart lmao. Probably doesn’t make sense, but a lot of them say that. He had no ill intent obviously
@Hardy Harhar he was absolutely mocking her, because he is rich enough not to tolerate being criticized for being a man. He might have said fuck you, pretty much same thing.
What's new is the entitlement of these me too movement participants, thinking that they can cancel anyone for just thinking differently. More like a fascist to me
Yeah plenty of men rape in general. I think men who are famous probably get away with it more though. Or are able to victimize more people. Isn’t that why people talk about pedophile millionaires/billionaires a lot? People care that they’re able to get away with hurting hundreds of kids without any real risk of being stopped.
"RIGHT?!" - the best part. He didn't let her get away to try to fabricate her own reality in front of gullible viewers but instead actually making her acknowledge the reality as it is most time when men and woman are together in situations like that - which is is frivolous, before moving on with the topic. Excellent
It's damn near impossible to regulate all interactions between men and women. It's not okay to cross the line, but the line keeps shifting and getting more blurry by the day.

@@randomhalfbreed3239 i think it's funny that you are attempting to criticize a comedian without knowing one of the basic fundamentals of humor, which is that it is subjective. nobody cares if you find him funny or not. he tells jokes for a living, so he is a comedian. its not a difficult concept.
Three things I love most about this piece: 1) Jerry's ownership of the "honey" and reinforcement of its use for its proper purpose as opposed to her implication of sexism, 2) His complete refusal to dance along with bullshit and the effortless grace with which he shuts it down, and 3) The way he ensures clarity and understanding with the other person in the conversation by insisting that they acknowledge it verbally ("Right? RIGHT?"). Love him or hate him, Jerry Seinfeld is consistently rock-solid - both professionally, artistically, and philosophically. My level of admiration for him is unmatched.
Pierre-Marc Drouin yeah. That was bothering me too. But 'Seinfeld loses it on female reporter' gets more hits than 'A comedian and journalist exchange enlightening words on gender relations'
She's so used to just being able to say "You just called me 'honey'" and get the guy to crawl up in a fetal position and say he's sorry, that when he just responds with "yep" she has absolutely nothing.
@@alexman378 the best response would’ve been to say something like “oh in English it’s not only a food but a term of endearment.” Subtly implying you her that she shouldn’t try to school people about their native tongue.
Jerry took control of that interview like the pro that he is. How to call someone “honey” and not be apologetic. Never really enjoyed his work but this was 2 mins of must watch. She thought she had him but he squashed that in 2 seconds flat.
@@shagsmith3410 I agree she did have an agenda. But she didn’t have the hutzpah to back it up. If you’re going to confront Seinfeld you better be ready to go toe to toe and she clearly wasn’t ready. He shouldn’t have called her honey and when she confronted him his defense wasn’t a good one but she didn’t seize the opportunity to make her point. She folded quickly. The rest of what he said was right on in my opinion but she was too flustered to agree or disagree.

Get your facts straight. Jerry Seinfeld dated 18 year old Shoshanna Lonstein who he first met when she was 17. Lonestein has never expressed any regrets about the relationship or feelings that she was taken advantage of. The idea that an 18 year can’t be mature enough to date an older man is ridiculous. Some are not mature enough but many are. Today Lonstein is a successful fashion designer.
@@commentingisawasteoftime7195 how did he groom her? And how old was she when he started to "approach" her? And what difference does it make if a girl of 17 years and 11 months old dates an adult man?
He is also wrong (or simply deflecting), something absolutely is wrong with the (showbusiness)industry, the term casting couch and its informal meaning literally comes from that industry. Things like it do happen everywhere but nowhere is it even close to the depraved and wide spread level as it is in this particular industry.
He was trying to downplay all of this and shut the interviewer down before she brought up his relationship with a minor. He’s a major force in the business because he co-created one of the most successful shows ever and is filthy rich. He’s ALL B.S. and he fooled you, but I don’t think he fooled the interviewer, and he definitely didn’t fool me.

"It's everywhere and natural and has always been happening but also weird and I can't understand it." -Jerry Seinfeld Truly a thinker of our time. Good thing audiences are stupid enough to fall for it.
“I never saw anything I thought was not right.” Jerry dated a 16 year old high school student in his 40s, at the height of his power. That’s who Seinfeld is.
Im happy to read something critical here. People honestly defend him saying "honey" to an adult journalist that asked him about sexual harassment. WTF is this world.
Not that it matters much…but I read she was 17 when they met…you do know what the age of consent is, in most states right? Plus she never said that Jerry was ever inappropriate with her…certainly never raped her. What say you?
Calling a woman, friend or spouse or whatever, "honey" used to be a good thing, and rarely was anyone offended. It was an endearment or just a friendly I like you" term, not the basis for a lawsuit. Remember that old Bobby Goldsboro song "And honey i miss you...". Today it would be too polically incorrect, and stations that played it might face harassment or criticism, because he calls his dear departed love "honey". And before Bobby there was Blind Boy Fuller /watch?v=wV3_TX9rKVE So things have changed, towards more and more restrictive and repressive.
Bring out the forks and torches, he said words. We can't be saying words these days damnit, bring out those forks and torches that you keep under your pillows ready to be used
Maybe you thought it was a good thing to call a woman you don't know "honey." A lot of people have never thought it's a good thing, even back in the 1970s when it pissed my mother off. I don't like it when anyone I don't know...male or female, and females do it a lot... call me by personal endearments. If you don't know me, you don't love me, so don't be fake and pretend that you do.
@virtus There is a difference between letting a person know you don't like something and calling for pitchforks and torches. Once a waiter young enough to be my son called me sweetheart. I asked him not to call me sweetheart. I also said it was okay, he didn't know, and I was just letting him know my preference.
Seinfeld himself, like the show that bears his name, is brilliant. Even pausing to get the interviewer to acknowledge that yes, through time immemorial, men and women chase each other. He doesn’t give anyone a pass, but places it within the context of his observable reality only. Brilliant.
“Within his observable reality”…….that’s the problem bro. You’re saying jerry is right in his views because he sees and says things from his perspective only. This makes it impossible to see how things look from someone else’s reality, such as a journalist who just got called ‘honey’. Seinfeld is old school, perpetuating misogynistic myths and it shows in this interview.
that doesn't change the fact that it can sound very condescending or worse in certain situations. Here Jerry's response came out as condescending (even if it wasn't his intention) and particularly tone deaf because the discussion is about men abusing women through their positions. Combined with a deflective non-answer, the situation got worse.
@@shakrooph Oh Jesus. Tone deaf, condescending... come on. It was neither of those. His whole point in saying it and how he explained it was that if you can't find the temperature and nuance in the very common, basic words I'm using then that's on you. And she wasn't actually bothered by it. She tried to turn the conversation to that but she could tell he wasn't going for it and wasn't sorry for what he said (since he said nothing wrong). She backed away from that lame topic and got the conversation back to where it should've been quite well. It's no different than if he were speaking to a guy and he said, for example, "it's not the car's fault, buddy". The inclusion of "buddy" at the end is how you tell the guy he's not even close to the answer, that he's not clued in on what's really wrong; calling him a dope but with a nice word. And what deflective non-answer? He answered everything she brought up. You're looking for things that weren't there. The word police don't effect the best of us.
@@mneugent7658 "the best of us" ? Lol. And who would that be, the people who are aligned with you and don't discuss about the possibility of things sounding different than how you claim it to be? People who don't stop to think that maybe words are evolving along with the society? The way you explained your car mechanic analogy, usage of "buddy" may not be condescending indeed. That's why I said it CAN be in certain conditions. However there is clearly something wrong with showbiz and he gave a response that looked like he was dragging his feet around. Yes he answered but that led to nothing. It's important to call out that something is specifically wrong with showbiz. When you say something like "it's everywhere" that undercuts the significance of this situation in showbiz particularly and Seinfeld is a very respected representative of that business which is a missed opportunity. Let's continue with broken car analogy. If you reach out to Toyota (just random example) CEO and ask him why does their Toyota XYZ cars break so often and lead to many deaths and he responds "Well buddy, every car breaks down". That's an answer yes but does it help with anything? No, hence a deflective non-answer. Easily the phrase "buddy" there can also be assoicated with a condescending behavior especially if he has tone like "you got it wrong, let me tell you what's correct". I'm not suggesting he is an abuser or trying to hide/defend others or that she is a good interviewer. Just to be clear.
Yup Jerry really needed to say that there is no systematic sextual harassment it’s just men chasing women, and yeah I guess somebody did have to weirdly and weasley defend fucking WEINSTEIN by saying what the big deal I don’t even get the weird sex stuff, I’m not into it so I guess it okay!
Right?! Like as a chef that signs checks i dont understand where the pay gap is. Ive never paid anyone less or more depending on gender only work ethic. That being said, women work with less work ethic and spend more time gossiping so thats why they get paid less lmfao
Umm no. ... He made the point that there has always been flirting, but now the lines are being blurred - And a man who flirted with a woman because he thought she liked him should not be treated the same as Weinstein, with his obscene showers. But they are.
Its hilarious that he cant see the irony of saying all that, but also having used his fame and money to successfully woo a high schooler back when he was 38 years old. I suppose its hilarious to people watching who had no idea that he did that, and hes still a funny guy overall, but i think the word that fits this situation best is more along the lines of "hypocritical" rather than "funny".
I personally think he's isn't funny at all. Compared to everyone that's supported him over the years he's the least talented... But his business approach made him famous

@@zachhiggins3321so it's ok bc of size difference? No man. First most abuse is verbal. 2nd egregious abuse doesn't often begin with size difference but with other power differences incl intimidation, gaslighting, etc. Words matter at least as much as size.
I agree she was wise. He was saying 'it's bigger than the industry hello'
It's not exclusive to "the industry", but "the industry" is a particularly fertile environment for this kind of bad behavior to fester in. Having one person that needs another person to get ahead in a setting in which favoritism is practically the only thing required, that's a recipe for bullying and abuse.

She is trying so very hard to bait him into saying something he'll regret. He sees the game and calls her on it repeatedly. What's impressive is that he does it in a way that simultaneously indicates that he won't be pushed around but at the same time doesn't come off as defensive or petty. He doesn't rise to her provocation. That's tough to do on your feet.
She's trying the Cathy Newman thing and he's way more observational comedically gifted to respond without having to be intellectual JBP.
@David Nicholson, 🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯
I don't know what interview you watched, but I saw an interviewer ask questions, and Seinfeld giving very thoughtful answers. I did like however how he insisted she'd respond to his "right?", because he probably knows that "men and women chase after each other" nowadays is something people find sounding controversial without having a good reason for it. People are being overly cautious these days because a lot of people do not fully understand what's going on. Some people give up entirely while the movement is a good one. It seems Seinfeld genuinely understands.
The fact that all of you think that what this man is doing is admirable only says you're part of the problem. And yeah, I get that at least one of you appears to be a woman. He could have condemned what was going on without caving to sensationalism, and instead said that men being predatory is just human nature. Gross.
@@selincaka2088 That's not what he said. He said that men and women behaving sexually around each other is human nature. And no, that's not the same as condoning being predatory.

Tried to reach out to him, give him a chance and he calls her honey the first chance. Liberal "feminists" need to grow some balls and drop men out of their equations.

But he’s right… Right?
Pure power play
Do women really chase after men the way men do though would be the follow up. In a corporate setting how many times have you heard of females sexually harassing males, and if so, how many would even have a problem with it.
@@hanselthecaretaker Just because men don’t have a problem with it doesn’t mean it doesn’t happen all the time. Women say and do just as much, if not more, sexist things than men because they know they get away with it every time. Women have a real problem being called “honey” but won’t bat an eye to a man being called the same thing by a woman. It isn’t anything to do with sexism, feminism, etc., they just like to complain and act the victim most of the time.
She could not bring herself to openly agree to stick with a narrative.

Definately I've seen it everywhere. Imagine the worst predator and then give him tons of money and power, u get Harvey Weinstein.
Not "humanity," society and particular institutions. Some are worse than others. His denial that he ever saw anything inappropriate is completely ridiculous. This is a guy who dated a HIGH SCHOOLER when he was fucking 38 years old.
of course, but it’s still an issue in hollywood and calling it out, is important
@@tryingtotryistrying I'm not sure we disagree on anything. Harvey Weinstein, Bill Cosby, this latest shit with Prince Andrew... these are not cases of "men and women chasing each other." They are exercises of power that happen to involve sex. That's not to trivialize the sex, because sex as an expression of power is fundamentally violent and traumatic. Seinfeld was in a consensual relationship with someone just over the age of consent, so legally he's in a different category. But his *dismissal* of the wave of #metoo revelations right as they emerge tells you a lot. It takes Jerry Seinfelds (powerful men) looking the other way for Harvey Weinsteins to do what they do.
Yea youre right so lets take your daughter to the casting couch for a try out! Oh wait, you'd be more comfortable if she was working at a law firm, hostessing/waitressing, or even tryed her hand at construction work? Oh gee, why is that?
He's 100% right - every time there's an incident the narrative is "X industry/institution has a sexual harassment issue". No. There's nothing peculiar about that industry. Any place where rich, powerful and influential men are working with women, you have the same issue, whether its the armed services, academia, entertainment, business, law, government, religion or the local library. And it's not a cultural thing either. The same thing happens everywhere around the world and throughout history. But the media can't make hay around something that's been happening since the beginning of time. They have to insist that that particular industry has an issue.
I think the film industry highlights it due to the huge difference between the desperation of the women involved and the power of the executive who was taking advantage of that. It still doesn't make complete sense to me. Like if you got all the starlets in LA right now and had them do a survey asking them if they would polish off a fat, nasty old film exec for a big role, (assuming they were honest) how many of them would say yes? I'd be willing to bet it'd be a double digit percentage. I get Weinstein was a scumbag for exploiting that throughout most of his career but people need to stop acting like this is new or some modern phenomenon.
I guess what gets me is that (presumably) every woman who did sexual favors for Weinstein was doing it completely willingly. What kind of agency does the woman who consents to this have? Sure the executive is exerting power over her, but is she not exerting her natural power over him also? If it's a consensual agreement, then both parties are agreeing that it's a fair exchange. If the woman has the power to say no then is she victimized? If the woman understands what she stands to gain, is she a victim? I guess you can argue that the Hollywood starlet didn't have a choice because of their career aspirations, but that doesn't exactly hold water. Prostitutes willingly do the same thing for money, is this really that different? The difference is the starlet gets a role that massively advances her career and makes her lots of money, the prostitute gets a couple hundred bucks. Not to mention the women in the workforce who are willing to try to be seductive for career gain whether the guy initiates it or not. It's absolutely a two way street. There have been women willing to "F their way to the top" throughout all of history, especially modern history. Where's the line where the woman is wrong and malicious and where the man is?
Except the priesthood. There’s just something inherent about that “industry”.
You're right, life was much better when women stayed home to do actual important work.
Women also harass men in the same ways. It is not a gender thing but a personality and opportunity thing.
@@0ooTheMAXXoo0 Gay men harassing straight men is even more egregious.

@@sheateeley1 lol I guess everyone smarter seems like a prick to most.
I like that he managed to make her laugh while talking about such a serious thing. Navigating sensitive topics isn’t even what he’s known for but he handled this well.
True but the sad part is that his point is the he didn't see it. Her point is that's not the same as it's not there. This difference largely amounts to whether "x" is something that may happen to you. That's the sad part.
She laughed because she is not used to being challenged on her whiny bullshit. She'll shit-talk him afterwards privately to her fellow, HR-centric allies. But she'll smile at him if she ever sees him again.
That was a nervous laugh because she was caught, but still a memorable moment on Interviewer Trying to Bait the Interviewed
@@johnassal5838 He did not say "it's not there". She asked him if he saw any inappropriate conduct and he said no. This is why the meaning of the term "inappropriate conduct" is really important. So he clarifies and says that there was a lot of behavior in general that he disagreed with. I mean you watched the interview yourself and didn't bother to understand what *he* was saying.
But moreover, she's not there to make a point to him or educate him on anything. She's a journalist. Her job to get his thoughts and reactions on certain matters and convey them to a wider audience. The real shame is that people don't realize the danger involved here in how she could take his earnest answers and twist them to say something he didn't intend. "Seinfeld defends sexual misconduct of friend and college".

He called her honey 🍯 how did she survive ?
I was amazed myself.

Everyone's talking about the "honey" interaction but low-key that's the most intelligent thing I've heard about the me too movement. It's not new, it's not confined to the "industry", it's about the global difference between the sexes.

Yeah plenty of men rape in general. I think men who are famous probably get away with it more though. Or are able to victimize more people.

Three things I love most about this piece:
1) Jerry's ownership of the "honey" and reinforcement of its use for its proper purpose as opposed to her implication of sexism,
2) His complete refusal to dance along with bullshit and the effortless grace with which he shuts it down, and
3) The way he ensures clarity and understanding with the other person in the conversation by insisting that they acknowledge it verbally ("Right? RIGHT?").
Love him or hate him, Jerry Seinfeld is consistently rock-solid - both professionally, artistically, and philosophically. My level of admiration for him is unmatched.
The way she tries to make Seinfeld look stupid by creating awkward silence at specific moments in the conversation is absolutely dishonest.
Pierre-Marc Drouin yeah. That was bothering me too. But 'Seinfeld loses it on female reporter' gets more hits than 'A comedian and journalist exchange enlightening words on gender relations'

Get your facts straight. Jerry Seinfeld dated 18 year old Shoshanna Lonstein who he first met when she was 17. Lonestein has never expressed any regrets about the relationship or feelings that she was taken advantage of. The idea that an 18 year can’t be mature enough to date an older man is ridiculous.

Jerry is smart, no B.S., and clearly a step ahead of the interviewer. This is why he's a major force in the business.
He is also wrong (or simply deflecting), something absolutely is wrong with the (showbusiness)industry, the term casting couch and its informal meaning literally comes from that industry.
Things like it do happen everywhere but nowhere is it even close to the depraved and wide spread level as it is in this particular industry.
He was trying to downplay all of this and shut the interviewer down before she brought up his relationship with a minor.

HE CALLED HER HONEY.
HANG THE BASTARD
Calling a woman, friend or spouse or whatever, "honey" used to be a good thing, and rarely was anyone offended. It was an endearment or just a friendly I like you" term, not the basis for a lawsuit.
Remember that old Bobby Goldsboro song "And honey i miss you...". Today it would be too polically incorrect, and stations that played it might face harassment or criticism, because he calls his dear departed love "honey". And before Bobby there was Blind Boy Fuller /watch?v=wV3_TX9rKVE
So things have changed, towards more and more restrictive and repressive.
Bring out the forks and torches, he said words. We can't be saying words these days damnit, bring out those forks and torches that you keep under your pillows ready to be used
Maybe you thought it was a good thing to call a woman you don't know "honey." A lot of people have never thought it's a good thing, even back in the 1970s when it pissed my mother off. I don't like it when anyone I don't know...male or female, and females do it a lot... call me by personal endearments. If you don't know me, you don't love me, so don't be fake and pretend that you do.
@virtus There is a difference between letting a person know you don't like something and calling for pitchforks and torches. Once a waiter young enough to be my son called me sweetheart. I asked him not to call me sweetheart. I also said it was okay, he didn't know, and I was just letting him know my preference.
Seinfeld himself, like the show that bears his name, is brilliant. Even pausing to get the interviewer to acknowledge that yes, through time immemorial, men and women chase each other. He doesn’t give anyone a pass, but places it within the context of his observable reality only. Brilliant.
But he picks his nose...
“Within his observable reality”…….that’s the problem bro. You’re saying jerry is right in his views because he sees and says things from his perspective only. This makes it impossible to see how things look from someone else’s reality, such as a journalist who just got called ‘honey’. Seinfeld is old school, perpetuating misogynistic myths and it shows in this interview.
Calling her honey disarmed her completely.

that doesn't change the fact that it can sound very condescending or worse in certain situations. Here Jerry's response came out as condescending (even if it wasn't his intention) and particularly tone deaf because the discussion is about men abusing women through their positions. Combined with a deflective non-answer, the situation got worse.
@@shakrooph Oh Jesus. Tone deaf, condescending... come on. It was neither of those. His whole point in saying it and how he explained it was that if you can't find the temperature and nuance in the very common, basic words I'm using then that's on you. And she wasn't actually bothered by it. She tried to turn the conversation to that but she could tell he wasn't going for it and wasn't sorry for what he said (since he said nothing wrong). She backed away from that lame topic and got the conversation back to where it should've been quite well. It's no different than if he were speaking to a guy and he said, for example, "it's not the car's fault, buddy". The inclusion of "buddy" at the end is how you tell the guy he's not even close to the answer, that he's not clued in on what's really wrong; calling him a dope but with a nice word. And what deflective non-answer? He answered everything she brought up. You're looking for things that weren't there. The word police don't effect the best of us.
@@chadsterrrible You can call him an idiot all you like but he's right and so was his mom.
@@mneugent7658 "the best of us" ? Lol. And who would that be, the people who are aligned with you and don't discuss about the possibility of things sounding different than how you claim it to be? People who don't stop to think that maybe words are evolving along with the society?
The way you explained your car mechanic analogy, usage of "buddy" may not be condescending indeed. That's why I said it CAN be in certain conditions.
However there is clearly something wrong with showbiz and he gave a response that looked like he was dragging his feet around. Yes he answered but that led to nothing. It's important to call out that something is specifically wrong with showbiz. When you say something like "it's everywhere" that undercuts the significance of this situation in showbiz particularly and Seinfeld is a very respected representative of that business which is a missed opportunity.
Let's continue with broken car analogy. If you reach out to Toyota (just random example) CEO and ask him why does their Toyota XYZ cars break so often and lead to many deaths and he responds "Well buddy, every car breaks down". That's an answer yes but does it help with anything? No, hence a deflective non-answer. Easily the phrase "buddy" there can also be assoicated with a condescending behavior especially if he has tone like "you got it wrong, let me tell you what's correct".
I'm not suggesting he is an abuser or trying to hide/defend others or that she is a good interviewer. Just to be clear.
She was out of her league. Period. I don't even think she knows what real sexual harassment is.
This is fucking hilarious. Jerry says exactly what needs to be said.
Yup Jerry really needed to say that there is no systematic sextual harassment it’s just men chasing women, and yeah I guess somebody did have to weirdly and weasley defend fucking WEINSTEIN by saying what the big deal I don’t even get the weird sex stuff, I’m not into it so I guess it okay!
Right?! Like as a chef that signs checks i dont understand where the pay gap is. Ive never paid anyone less or more depending on gender only work ethic. That being said, women work with less work ethic and spend more time gossiping so thats why they get paid less lmfao
Umm no. ... He made the point that there has always been flirting, but now the lines are being blurred - And a man who flirted with a woman because he thought she liked him should not be treated the same as Weinstein, with his obscene showers.
But they are.
As soon as Jerry forced her to agree based on logic, her whole “got you” statement backfired and the truth was exposed.
Its hilarious that he cant see the irony of saying all that, but also having used his fame and money to successfully woo a high schooler back when he was 38 years old. I suppose its hilarious to people watching who had no idea that he did that, and hes still a funny guy overall, but i think the word that fits this situation best is more along the lines of "hypocritical" rather than "funny".
Media should understand Jerry is on a different level. You can't set him up. 😊
Agree. Comedians are smart and fast and I think he's one of the best, he is way too much for this person.
He dated a teenager as a thirty something year old. The girl was in high school at the time. Wrong guy to ask.
In America, teens cannot have sex voluntarily, because American teens are not interested in sex. Also, sex is always harmful. A little bit.
