[ video ] un: owl lady

[ The video shows Eda in her pirate garb, clearly amused about something. ]

So have you noticed that these pirates are afraid of women? [ She laughs and snorts. ] Some big, strong pirates they are.

[ As it happens, there is a pirate nearby! Eda turns toward him. ]

Boo!

[ The pirate, mostly irritated, grumbles and puts some distance between himself and Eda, who breaks out into laughter. ]

Ahhhh, I love that. Fear me, pirates, for I am Eda, the Harpy Woman!

[ Sorry, she's laughing now. With her trademark snort. ]

You got yourself jailed? Guess we'll make a criminal out of you yet!

[reparo]

Apparently the only thing the pirates dislike more than women are women who call them sexist.

[traaaaaash]

[ Eda... stops laughing. And blinks on confusion. ]

Sexist?

[reparo]

Yes, this whole superstition about women bringing bad luck on board a ship because - what, we distract sailors? Sexism at it's finest.

[traaaaaash]

Wait, what's sexism? One of those human world things?

[reparo]

[this is going to haunt her while she's in the brig this time.]

...wait. Are you asking because you're unclear on the terminology, or because you've genuinely never seen it in your world?

[traaaaaash]

Uhhh... both? Neither? Help me out here.

[reparo]

I am jealous - and not sure that you need to hear about it, if you've never had the displeasure of encountering it in your world, honestly...

[traaaaaash]

I mean, fine by me.

[reparo]

[HOWEVER, it's lesson time?]

It's what can be used to describe when men feel superior to women - to anyone else other than men, really - and manifesting it by creating more and more obstacles for women to jump through for even a crumb of the benefits life grants them.

[traaaaaash]

Oh, ew. Who came up with that nonsense?

[reparo]

Men.

[traaaaaash]

Okay, yeah, I guess that makes sense. In the way any of this does.
