0:00:14 – 0:00:17 Hello and welcome to the diversion.
0:00:17 – 0:00:21 Where I occasionally deviate from the subject.
0:00:21 – 0:00:23 Hmm.
0:00:23 – 0:00:33 Today's theme is inspired by a video I saw of the Carina Push on TikTok.
0:00:33 – 0:00:42 That was kind of a third-party exploitation of a stream, what they did,
0:00:42 – 0:00:51 a video about toxic masculinity, suicide and many other topics.
0:00:51 – 0:00:55 femicide.
0:00:55 – 0:01:01 I didn't watch the entire video, just the TikTok and
0:01:01 – 0:01:06 Yes, there were a few questions left unanswered.
0:01:06 – 0:01:11 She looked at this together with Freiraum Re,
0:01:11 – 0:01:18 A woman on the move in this phenomism bubble
0:01:18 – 0:01:27 and at that time was also fat with a streamer Sojoka,
0:01:27 – 0:01:40 which also has phenemistic content and has topics such as violence against women and femicide.
0:01:40 – 0:01:51 I was quite surprised by the comments in this video.
0:01:51 – 0:01:59 because otherwise I'm Carina Pusch as someone who is extremely reflective,
0:01:59 – 0:02:09 I've always watched and watched her videos about Pride Month.
0:02:09 – 0:02:19 then had their discussion with ApoRed and then had also reported on other topics,
0:02:19 – 0:02:24 which were up-to-date in this YouTube streamer scene,
0:02:24 – 0:02:31 It was always about assaults by men on women.
0:02:31 – 0:02:41 This was all discussed in the format "limit value" in the podcasts with MTC,
0:02:41 – 0:02:45 What happened there and she made really good videos for it,
0:02:45 – 0:02:49 which were really covered with sources, where I also thought so,
0:02:49 – 0:02:54 Hey, that's really good what she's doing.
0:02:54 – 0:03:02 But in this video, in this livestream, I really liked a few things where I thought,
0:03:02 – 0:03:05 No, I can't do that.
0:03:05 – 0:03:15 Because there are such statements as that even men choose the more radical methods when they commit suicide.
0:03:15 – 0:03:28 and which are more effective, such as shooting safely, hanging or jumping in front of a bus or jumping in front of a train
0:03:28 – 0:03:35 And that they always involve the guilty.
0:03:35 – 0:03:43 That may be, the statistics clearly show that men choose safe methods like women.
0:03:43 – 0:03:52 Women prefer to take pills or get poisoned elsewhere.
0:03:52 – 0:04:04 But in such a way that death has a more pleasant form than hanging or shooting yourself or throwing yourself in front of a train.
0:04:04 – 0:04:12 What I have felt so extremely strange and also as crass,
0:04:12 – 0:04:23 As Freiraum Reh said, of course, that even men hurt women.
0:04:23 – 0:04:35 And I find that the aspect of someone committing suicide in an absolute emergency situation,
0:04:35 – 0:04:46 this is an absolute exceptional situation and then does not necessarily always act carefully.
0:04:46 – 0:04:51 Of course, there are also often suicide attempts, which are more or less just a cry for help.
0:04:51 – 0:04:58 and where it is then put on the fact that one is still found in time.
0:04:58 – 0:05:05 But there are also those who are successful without much announcement, without anything being left behind.
0:05:05 – 0:05:12 And these are exceptional situations in which this person finds himself.
0:05:12 – 0:05:17 And I find it extremely reprehensible to then still judge,
0:05:17 – 0:05:23 A woman's suicide has a different value than a man's suicide.
0:05:23 – 0:05:31 I mean, we're talking about people who want to take their own lives or take their own lives.
0:05:31 – 0:05:41 And that's one thing I've been thinking about for two or three weeks now, and I've been asking myself,
0:05:41 – 0:05:47 Do you want to talk about it or something? Yeah, I'm talking about that now.
0:05:47 – 0:05:52 I don't want to start here, be the big statistician here,
0:05:52 – 0:06:03 But women are more likely to be helped if they are in a depression like men.
0:06:03 – 0:06:07 They are more likely to go to the doctor, they are more able to talk about it.
0:06:07 – 0:06:13 That there is this depressive mood or depressive episode.
0:06:13 – 0:06:19 Or again, a recurrent depressive episode.
0:06:19 – 0:06:25 Men are generally bad doctors.
0:06:25 – 0:06:30 So you usually go to the family doctor first, talk about it and he says,
0:06:30 – 0:06:40 You, I'll get you a transfer. Ideally, some family doctors will also try to treat it with the antidepressants.
0:06:40 – 0:06:50 What I feel is totally reprehensible because depression is a potentially deadly condition.
0:06:50 – 0:06:55 Even if that doesn't seem like it at first, it can lead to death.
0:06:55 – 0:07:05 And there should already be people who are off the shelf. They are psychiatrists, specialists in psychiatry.
0:07:05 – 0:07:10 However, women are more capable than men.
0:07:10 – 0:07:17 Luckily, I was raised to be very communicative, otherwise I wouldn't do all the podcast projects.
0:07:17 – 0:07:22 I also learned to talk about my feelings.
0:07:22 – 0:07:29 I'm not so grateful to my parents for not showing me such a toxic male image.
0:07:29 – 0:07:38 But that you just talk about it and that you've been taught that it's okay if you're sad, that you're crying too.
0:07:38 – 0:07:43 I had had a period in my life when I was so depressed that I couldn't cry.
0:07:43 – 0:07:52 I was actually envious of people who can cry because crying is a great outlet for getting rid of emotions.
0:07:52 – 0:08:03 Yes, in any case, I have just in my depressive phase, which really went five years and I had several hospital stays,
0:08:03 – 0:08:18 Sometimes it took me more than 12 weeks, I was able to seek help, accept help and learn a lot about myself.
0:08:18 – 0:08:25 I mean, that all ended up later in a borderline diagnosis, which I had to fight for a lot, by the way,
0:08:25 – 0:08:34 Because I've had a lot of other diagnoses around my ears, but I've never really found myself there.
0:08:34 – 0:08:44 You have to say that I had always been someone who was very well read and I was also interested in the topic,
0:08:44 – 0:08:58 As far as psychics are concerned, otherwise I would not have studied psychology until a few years ago, as a second and third degree.
0:08:58 – 0:09:07 Yeah, now I'm back again. In any case, I have not found myself in this diagnosis, which they have called me
0:09:07 – 0:09:15 And then I kept saying, no, I don't see myself there, I feel more drawn to it.
0:09:15 – 0:09:23 And I was also told that I had read the symptoms until I was in a psychosomatic rehab.
0:09:23 – 0:09:30 And they said, no, that's clearly Borderline, what they have.
0:09:30 – 0:09:45 I am grateful that I was able to communicate this and that my suicide attempts were such that they were not successful, otherwise I would not be here today.
0:09:45 – 0:09:57 Of course, I could have looked forward to life events such as stroke, but this gave me the opportunity and the time to start studying again.
0:09:57 – 0:10:14 I was able to go and start these projects, the blog, the podcast and that I have the time to live my life like this,
0:10:14 – 0:10:19 Even though I am now financially extremely miserable.
0:10:19 – 0:10:29 But this is another topic, which I have also discussed before, in a different format, most likely in borderline.
0:10:29 – 0:10:38 Welcome back to the podcast, to the video of Carina Pusch and Freiraum Reh.
0:10:38 – 0:10:51 I've seen the video several times now, I'll pack it in the show notes below and I'm just as shocked every time,
0:10:51 – 0:11:02 In fact, it's the suicide of a man who's still being misrepresented.
0:11:02 – 0:11:15 I mean, if someone goes there and deliberately drives the car on the highway wrong, so that he is a ghost driver and then puts other people at risk,
0:11:15 – 0:11:18 Then that's not all right.
0:11:18 – 0:11:34 If the person begins assisted suicide, and I don't mean euthanasia, but stop, let's say, he takes hostage and pretends to be shot in the process,
0:11:34 – 0:11:44 then this is also dramatic, because other people are affected and are most likely also affected in their mental health.
0:11:44 – 0:11:48 However, these are exceptions.
0:11:48 – 0:11:57 I can still remember that I had a fellow patient who was a caregiver himself, just like me, we talked.
0:11:57 – 0:12:05 And he didn't give me the impression that he wanted to do anything to himself.
0:12:05 – 0:12:21 And he just had insulin at home because he and his wife were both diabetic, and then he killed himself with the insulin.
0:12:21 – 0:12:28 Yes, of course I was shocked because we were jokingly talking about it in our conversation.
0:12:28 – 0:12:36 For a long time I was also responsible for the fact that I put him on the idea for the first time.
0:12:36 – 0:12:46 And I also did not let myself be told, due to his nursing activities, that he came up with the idea himself.
0:12:46 – 0:12:50 I felt guilty for myself for a long time.
0:12:50 – 0:12:58 And then you realize on your own that it's a suicide of a person and it doesn't matter if it's a man or a woman.
0:12:58 – 0:13:09 I can understand that we live in a masculine world where the position of the belt is made after a man,
0:13:09 – 0:13:17 where the room temperature in large offices is calculated according to a formula for an average man and his heat demand,
0:13:17 – 0:13:24 Medications are only tested on men because they don't have a cycle.
0:13:24 – 0:13:35 And with many other things, that it is always on man or if it is then times for a woman, then a small man is taken.
0:13:35 – 0:13:41 Yes, we have a world where it's mostly about men.
0:13:41 – 0:13:50 But without women, humanity will not exist and I have not only been educated communicatively,
0:13:50 – 0:13:59 But also in the knowledge and belief that men and women are equal.
0:13:59 – 0:14:07 Of course, there are certain differences in thinking and acting and also in biology.
0:14:07 – 0:14:14 But on the whole and bottom line, men and women are equal.
0:14:14 – 0:14:18 My parents taught me that.
0:14:18 – 0:14:27 There have been many conversations about the fact that there is a gender cup when it comes to pay.
0:14:27 – 0:14:38 On average, women earn 20 percent less than men in the same job, under the same conditions.
0:14:38 – 0:14:44 And that this is always justified. You could get pregnant.
0:14:44 – 0:14:52 I know from an aunt of mine who is highly qualified that the long time had a problem finding a job,
0:14:52 – 0:15:03 because old, white men had problems with a young woman who is more qualified than she is being able to take her job away.
0:15:03 – 0:15:06 I know all about these problems.
0:15:06 – 0:15:11 But my education and my reality of life is different.
0:15:11 – 0:15:15 For example, I'm doing the budget here.
0:15:15 – 0:15:21 My girlfriend supports me in this. She does other things for that.
0:15:21 – 0:15:27 She goes shopping for it, which I can't do now due to my disability from my stroke.
0:15:27 – 0:15:32 She then helps me with other activities here in the household.
0:15:32 – 0:15:38 But most of it, like cooking food, doing laundry, that's what I do.
0:15:38 – 0:15:41 She carries the laundry from the washing machine to the clothesline.
0:15:41 – 0:15:44 Then I'll sit down and hang her up.
0:15:44 – 0:15:47 This is a give and take.
0:15:47 – 0:15:52 It's not like I'm thinking, oh God, I'm doing all this alone, oh God, oh.
0:15:52 – 0:16:01 But we are there on an equal footing and we respect our limitations and weaknesses,
0:16:01 – 0:16:05 On the other hand, we accept the strengths.
0:16:05 – 0:16:17 That's one thing where I always think, what must these people or these women have experienced,
0:16:17 – 0:16:24 It's so feminist that it's almost militant.
0:16:24 – 0:16:29 This is the equivalent of the militant vegan,
0:16:29 – 0:16:38 which in the most extreme way tries to impose its veganism in the world
0:16:38 – 0:16:45 and really chooses methods that are not socially accepted,
0:16:45 – 0:16:49 It's more of a borderline.
0:16:49 – 0:16:56 And that's exactly what makes the space, i.e. the woman Freiraum-Re.
0:16:56 – 0:17:01 It can't be that all the worse in the world,
0:17:01 – 0:17:06 All the displeasure she has, it's all projected onto men,
0:17:06 – 0:17:14 that in a situation where there is a man and sees no other way out,
0:17:14 – 0:17:17 to end the suffering with his suicide.
0:17:17 – 0:17:22 I wonder where is the empathy?
0:17:22 – 0:17:26 Where is humanity?
0:17:26 – 0:17:35 Yes, I could talk in rage for hours and think about it.
0:17:35 – 0:17:44 I think it's fantastic that Carina Pusch and also Freiraum-Re were in Brussels,
0:17:44 – 0:17:51 have stood up for women's rights in the European Union at the Parliament and there,
0:17:51 – 0:17:54 Because we still have a lot to do.
0:17:54 – 0:18:02 We are there at the very beginning, that there is always a reconnaissance work,
0:18:02 – 0:18:09 where there are still weaknesses in our system as far as women's rights are concerned.
0:18:09 – 0:18:16 As well as explaining that rape in marriage
0:18:16 – 0:18:23 until a few years ago was still impunity and that certain CDU deputies,
0:18:23 – 0:18:31 but also FDP deputies and candidates for chancellor have insisted,
0:18:31 – 0:18:34 Rape in marriage is not a crime.
0:18:34 – 0:18:41 By the end of the 1970s, the woman had to ask her husband if she could go to work.
0:18:41 – 0:18:44 And if he said, "No," that was enough.
0:18:44 – 0:18:49 That he called at work and said my wife isn't coming to work anymore.
0:18:49 – 0:18:55 My mother, if my father had done that, she would have packed her bag and run away.
0:18:55 – 0:18:59 My mother is anything but a feminist.
0:18:59 – 0:19:06 My mother actually still has a relatively traditional family image,
0:19:06 – 0:19:10 What she has in her head, what a woman must be able to do.
0:19:10 – 0:19:17 Nevertheless, I have been raised with the fact that man and woman are equal.
0:19:17 – 0:19:23 But I believe that the demands that she makes on herself, she also has on other people.
0:19:23 – 0:19:30 Just as a young man has to deal with a drill and also knows how to paint walls,
0:19:30 – 0:19:37 So she also expects a woman to be orderly and clean.
0:19:37 – 0:19:43 When I look around in my circle of acquaintances, sometimes that's just not the case.
0:19:43 – 0:19:48 And there it is the men who are more orderly and purer than the women.
0:19:48 – 0:19:53 And on the other hand, you have women who are so skilled in craftsmanship,
0:19:53 – 0:20:00 The man doesn't need to do anything because the woman does it.
0:20:00 – 0:20:03 With my sister in the marriage, it had been so,
0:20:03 – 0:20:10 that all technical problems, be it with the mobile phone, with the TV, with the laptop,
0:20:10 – 0:20:17 That's because she did it and not my brother-in-law or my ex-brother-in-law, but she did it.
0:20:17 – 0:20:20 He did other things for that.
0:20:20 – 0:20:26 And then someone comes here and says that the socialist man is violent
0:20:26 – 0:20:32 Even then, he still hurts women.
0:20:32 – 0:20:39 That makes me so angry and so speechless because I was in this situation myself
0:20:39 – 0:20:46 I really didn't want to endanger anyone else.
0:20:46 – 0:20:52 Jo, I think I've said it all now.
0:20:52 – 0:20:57 I'm also deviant again, that's good, because it's also called deviance.
0:20:57 – 0:21:06 And if you feel like it, listen to other formats from me or other digressions
0:21:06 – 0:21:14 Say thank you and see you next time.
0:21:14 – 0:21:16 Goodbye, Sasha.
0:21:16 – 0:21:31 [Music]
