1:01:01
No, but really. Women used this when giving birth.
In some parts of the world, they still do it.
1:01:07
Yeah?
1:01:07
Yeah. The woman in labour enters a tent, and the women
of her tribe surround her, and dance,
1:01:13
and they encourage the birthing woman to dance with them as...
so as to make the birth less painful.
1:01:17
Yeah...
1:01:18
When the baby is born, they all dance in celebration.
1:01:20
Wow. I don't think my mom would've gone for that.
1:01:25
I like the idea of dancing as a common function in life,
something everybody participates in.
1:01:29
Yeah, I know. I heard about this old guy, who was watching some young people dance.
1:01:34
And he said, how beautiful. They're trying to shake off their genitals, and become angels.
1:01:39
I like that
1:01:40
Alright. One question, though, back there.
When the women are dancing, and being all spiritual, and stuff, right?
1:01:45
Where are the men?
1:01:46
Are we out food-gathering? Are we not invited? Y'all don't need us? What?
1:01:51
Men are lucky we don't bite off their head after mating.
Certain insects do that, you know, like spiders, and stuff.
1:01:57
We, at least, let you live. What are you complaining about?
1:01:59
Yes. See, you're officially kidding, but there's something to that,
you know. You keep bringing stuff like that up.
1:02:04
What?
1:02:04
Yeah.
1:02:05
No, no, no, wait a minute. Talking seriously here. I mean, .. I,
1:02:09
I always feel this pressure of being a strong and independent icon of womanhood,
and without making... making it look my...
1:02:16
my whole life is revolving around some guy.
1:02:21
But Loving someone, and being loved means so much to me.
1:02:26
We always make fun of it and stuff.
1:02:29
But isn't everything we do in life a way to be loved a little more?
1:02:37
Hmmm. Yeah,
1:02:38
I don't know .
1:02:40
Sometimes I dream about being a good father and a good husband,
1:02:45
and sometimes that feels really close.
1:02:49
But then, other times,
1:02:51
it seems silly. Like, it would, uh, ruin my whole life.
1:02:57
And its not just a, uh, a fear of commitment,
or that I'm incapable of caring, or loving, because
