She’s really cooking like a 50s housewife that knows her husband is banging his receptionist but can’t do anything because they’ve had two kids and there’s no way for her to support them herself in a society that devalues women and doesn’t allow them access to the positions of power that would allow her to support herself and her kids, so all she can do is hope he gets drafted into the war and never returns.
Or you could just say that he died in a mysterious fire and then you might be able to inherit his insurance or whatever and never be bother again...there’s always this option as well
@hasslfoot Channel Miller was so unconscious that one of the people who interrupted the rape had a sort of psychotic break because the thought she was dead and that he had witnessed a gruesome murder/rape. Paramedics noted that she did not have a pain response. We're not in the murky heavy impaired with memory formation problems, here. We're talking completely - have to be careful with this person because if they're propped in the wrong position they might just stop breathing - unconscious.
@@paulsmart4672 exactly! I saw the interview, it’s so sad that the male witness crying is what legitimized the situation for me at the time… instead of just believing the poor girl. Tired of the lack of empathy towards victims of such heinous crimes. I read a statement she gave in the courtroom, it was so upsetting and it changed how I think of these situations. Being drunk is NO excuse for a man violently raping a woman behind a dumpster!
“The police misread her social cues and therefore were afraid of her” ok, but shouldn’t officers be trained to avoid escalating situations based on their biased perception of the intentions of unarmed civilians minding their business? If certain biases exist why not focus on working on them?
It'd be easy enough to even acknowledge that there are other factors involved but still remain focussed of the key concept. If I can do that in a 2000 word essay, this guy can fit it into a book.
POV: ur Asian aunt rants about some white guy she went on a date with who man-explained popular things one the news but your aunt is secretly the very journalist who reported these cases
When you started talking about that really misinformed book about social cues. My blood started to boil. I suffer from autism although it’s not severe. Sure I can’t read social cues but that’s also not an excuse for anything that he brought up. I would never touch a person with out consent even hugs because I don’t know when it’s a good time to hug so I always ask. It just makes me mad that he’s using something I go through everyday as an excuse for a literal crime. It just really feeds into the whole thing that people who don’t understand social cues now have literal people saying literal crimes are caused by them.
withcindy thank you for talking about this book. It means a lot to have someone stick up for people like me. What sucks is that people expect that you will be like everyone else, I feel that the stigma against autism has never gone away so when I tell people I have it they either think that I can barely understand them (which is untrue) or that I’m lying about it because “I’m a good person” and that “I truly understand them”. I feel like people want us to just learn to be “like them” so they could just ignore the issue. Sorry for ranting it just makes me angry that books like this exist and were published 😡.
@@thelovelybunny-n5r As an autistic person as well, I agree with all of these points. Not being good at reading social cues NEVER leads to committing awful crimes and raping people. Just don't touch people, that's all. Anyone who is a decent person knows to follow that rule.

It sounds like Malcolm Gladwell was using “sociology” for the abusers and not for the victims. He wasn’t writing this to discuss the cases or understand why these things happened. He wanted to give nonexistent nuance to the abusers because they tend to look like him
Person: unconscious Gladwell: It is clear that society will find it hard to read their social cues, leading to a misunderstanding. Definitely a recipe for disaster. I’m sorry? I - huh?
I'm so excited to read this book....I have been reading alot of books on racism but most of the time it was between black and white relationship and as a brown person I felt left out, as I'm sure most brown people felt .
that china doll / dragon lady dichotomy comment hit me different today. they either sexualize and infantilize us or sexualize and demonize us. maybe bc of the recent atlanta shooting i've been thinking a lot more about stereotypes and intersectionality and racism/misogyny and what it means to be an asian woman... the representation you bring as an asian booktuber is soo important and makes me feel seen and heard. hope you're doing ok

Welcome to another segment of cook & book: Cindy getting bored of putting her hands too close to knives so she resorts to violently holding spatulas to know what it is like to hold someone
Malcome saying “oh the reason why there is racism and sexual assault going on is because of miscommunications” is the reason why these sort of things are being kept alive. I would change his thesis to how underlying beliefs or agendas can lead to a catalyst of miscommunications. For example already having racist beliefs can lead you to think that a POC is being aggressive which can lead you to make actions that are inappropriate. But even than I still think that would be down grading the issues of society.
Thanks for sharing your experiences as an Asian booktuber. I also hate it when people "accuse" women, especially women of color, of being ambitious...like why does that have to be a bad thing??
Damn wtf gladwell didn't even bother to actually read up on his examples before using them so carelessly, as someone who also read Chanel's memoir I would've lost it too
This video is like that scene in Ratatouille where Colette is dicing the vegetables and screaming at Linguini I just started watching but I already know that I cannot be Mommy
First - Cindy: "I don't know how to zest a lime, so I'm just going to cut it." Noooo!! LOL! Next - Malcolm Gladwell said WHAT?! Oh my god! I worked as a sexual assault and domestic violence advocate professionally for 2 1/2 years (then I burned out) - this is almost ALWAYS the reason men have total impunity - I THOUGHT she wanted it, or it was just a MISUNDERSTANDING! I seriously want to throw something at him right now. Also - I always wonder when men say things like that if it's because they are excusing their own behavior during their college years. Just sayin'
I absolutely hate the Malcolm Gladwell book. He trivializes sexual assault and I’m so glad Cindy talked about it especially in the context of power dynamics. I’m a survivor of a sexual assault where I was passed out just like the girl in the Brock turner case and it infuriates me that Gladwell is like “ oh it’s a misunderstanding”
I had read Malcom Gladwell’s book The Outliers, about the “outliers” who are successful in life ex. Bill Gates, The Beatles etc. And his explanation of why asian people are smarter is because of rice farming. He wrote out an entire section about how rice farming is so difficult and that somehow equates to intelligence. He also never mentions that these successful people are all white.
im shook hearing your commentary on talking with strangers. i've never read a malcolm gladwell book but he has STOCK. i always hear people referencing him. im in law school and my profs have mentioned him positively. that is legit terrifying
Rewatching this video and I just realized how much I love the way Cindy talks about books she read. She offers counterpoints to her arguments and tries to figure out what the author was trying to do and idk it's just so refreshing
I just started watching you and your take on Talking to Strangers convinced me to sub! You totally articulated why I absolutely hate that book.

Dog bless Cindy, putting herself through torture for our entertainment, truly a hero. Edit: Also thank you for giving me the inspiration to finish a one-shot in which the characters kill god, you are truly inspiring.
So confused as to why Talking to Strangers has such a high rating on goodreads. I’d only heard of it from this video but it feels like it’s written for the abusers to feel better about themselves. So people can be like “oh I’m not racist, it was a miscommunication!”
Live how we accompanied cindy fron her cottage and rags to a apartment and six figure salary and soon she would be in a mansion being the richest she could be while reading sarahj mass in her boujee bath tub and i am here for it❤️

Hey just to let you know Bailey was super rude to a victims family member after they saw one of her videos and kindly asked her to take it down.... (this happened months-a year ago) just an fyi in case you had no idea!
I am definitely going to read White Tears Brown Scars. As a white woman who is a feminist, I try to stay cognizant of how dangerous "white feminism" can be. And of course I think I'm not being problematic, but without someones lived experience, how can I truly know? I am a lesbian and have struggled with mental health and substance misuse. I know what it js like to be discriminated for those things. But I also know that I do not know what it is like to be discriminated for my race. I can have empathy for the struggle, but we have to remember to listen to those who have lived through racism, colorism, etc.
Omg... So I don't follow the royal family but with the buzz of the Oprah interview today I saw some bits and pieces and dude I'm 100% sure there's gonna be a movie or show based on Meghan markle dealing with the royal family someday cuz the story is just so wild

I have been following you for 1 year now and I have to say, I admire the work you put into every single video you make and just how in-depth your book analyses are. Especially with the broad topics you cover, it's very evident just how passionate you are about book analyses and books in general. I find myself struggling to read non-fantasy books because I'm a black girl with mild depression symptoms who loves escapism, but you are inspiring me to possibly delve into more books about current events...possibly...I say that because I can't even imagine myself reading about the real world and not crying all day, but that's just me. Until then, I'll just keep watching your videos for book summaries. And your dialogue is amazing! You are well-spoken and that also inspires me a lot cause I have trouble expressing myself via talking.

Dog bless Cindy, putting herself through torture for our entertainment, truly a hero.
Edit: Also thank you for giving me the inspiration to finish a one-shot in which the characters kill god, you are truly inspiring.
Y'all don't understand how much I hate cooking
Dog bless Cindy
I need this one-shot. Don’t be shy, give us a link after you’re done.
I, too, have replied solely for the reason that I wish to partake in the distribution of this link at a later date.
Cindy's notifications never last more than 2 seconds on my phone
Ur so sweet!!
I’m fucking crying over how she “zested” that lime 🤣
IDK WHAT ZESTING IS
@@withcindy You, like, grate the outside of a lime 😭😭😭
So confused as to why Talking to Strangers has such a high rating on goodreads. I’d only heard of it from this video but it feels like it’s written for the abusers to feel better about themselves. So people can be like “oh I’m not racist, it was a miscommunication!”
I interrupted my mental breakdown just to watch this video Priorities must be made.
Hope ur ok ♥️
@@withcindy Aw thank you! ❤ the video definitely made me okay :)
I hope you’re okay now
@@luuuuux_ Thank you! I am! ❤
@@chloehello3841 I’m glad you are :)
The talking-cooking split screen should be examined in film schools
They aren't ready for that yet
Live how we accompanied cindy fron her cottage and rags to a apartment and six figure salary and soon she would be in a mansion being the richest she could be while reading sarahj mass in her boujee bath tub and i am here for it❤️
awww 🥺💗
these literature analysis videos by Cindy have been motivating me to finish my school essays with honesty and sense. i say thank u for ur brain cells and for inspiring my stagnant brain at the moment :'>
You can do it!
@@withcindy huhu thank youu!!
Cindy posts a video and suddenly my anxiety and depression are cured
Wish I could do the same for me 😤😔
Same
Play on repeat and you're set! 😁💕❤️
When Cindy introduced "The Lost Apothecary" I instinctively whispered **Aqua Tofana** like Bailey Sarian 🤣
Idk this reference😔
@@withcindy czcams.com/video/0IoJBV29zMg/video.html
Bailey is ADORABLE and talks about true crime stories while doing her makeup 😊
✨Aqua tofana ✨
Hey just to let you know Bailey was super rude to a victims family member after they saw one of her videos and kindly asked her to take it down.... (this happened months-a year ago) just an fyi in case you had no idea!
Talking to Strangers sounds like it perfectly sums up all the reasons I hate economists 🙃
I am definitely going to read White Tears Brown Scars. As a white woman who is a feminist, I try to stay cognizant of how dangerous "white feminism" can be.
And of course I think I'm not being problematic, but without someones lived experience, how can I truly know?
I am a lesbian and have struggled with mental health and substance misuse. I know what it js like to be discriminated for those things. But I also know that I do not know what it is like to be discriminated for my race.
I can have empathy for the struggle, but we have to remember to listen to those who have lived through racism, colorism, etc.
malcolm gladwell is the darkling: confirmed.
Ewwwww
this week already started out giving me content yesterday Meg & Harry and today Cindy
Omg... So I don't follow the royal family but with the buzz of the Oprah interview today I saw some bits and pieces and dude I'm 100% sure there's gonna be a movie or show based on Meghan markle dealing with the royal family someday cuz the story is just so wild
@@withcindy that and when the season of The Crown comes out about this omg it’s gonna be crazy
@@withcindy I know I live in the uk and they left the uk so they aren’t in the spotlight and I respect that and people kept talking about that but the fact that they did that interview made me annoyed because they’re going against there point for literally leaving the royal family....
@@lucy_2511 WASNT it more of speaking their truth because privacy mattered to them obvs but if u were treated like that wouldn’t u want to speak out about it since so much of it was racially motivated and raising awareness about racism in the UK, however how subtle, is super important
@@hafsaaleem5688 fair enough but if they do anything else then I refuse to understand any logic behind it
i love cindy!! i’ve been feeling kinda lonely and sad lately, but her videos always make me happy ❤️
I'm so glad!! 🥺
Totally unrelated to the books but “zesting” just means grating a bit of the skin of the lime into your dish! ❤️
I love cooking with Cindy, while she points a potential weapon such as a spatula or a knife at me 😌
Weird kink but ok
Happy International Women's Day. hope all women support all women today.
and rhysand!
@@withcindy 😂😂ofcourse, cant forgot the man who invented feminism.
As mostly everyone has commented on the books and their respective authors as well as your reviews, let me just say how scrumptious the end result [of your cooking] was! I’m sure you cut some corners but, man, spontaneity is the spice of life anyway.
This is the first video of your’s I’ve watched and I’m hooked!
You’re awesome! ❤️
thanks for being here!!
@@withcindy , t’is a please!
You are the only "booktuber" I'm subscribed to, so I had no idea you had dealt with backlash from other people in the community. That's some bullshit. I don't even read much, but I'm subscribed to your channel because you are hilarious and I just like listening to you talk about stuff. Keep doing you!
Update: the pigeons laid eggs
GASP
Omg I'm so glad to hear!! I saw your other comment in the last video and I was invested haha
@@rx500android Thank you I am glad these round wholesome bois outside my window provide entertainment. I will try to do more updates but they mostly just chill. Very cool dudes. 10/10
I have no idea what the context for this comment is but it made me so happy
I drop my whole life when Cindy posts 😭😭😭
Omg ur too kind
SAME 💕👍👍
The only thing smoother than Cindy‘s transitions and segues is - actually, nothing. There’s nothing smoother.
cant wait to forget about talking to strangers, then immediately remember it when you do your “worst books of 2021” and reminisce over the year
The one dislike is from the spatula 😂
Ur right
The camera quality really popped off today okay Cindy we see you
Hehe 😋
not enough yikes in the world for everything you mentioned in talking with strangers 😬
Yikes City
I have been following you for 1 year now and I have to say, I admire the work you put into every single video you make and just how in-depth your book analyses are. Especially with the broad topics you cover, it's very evident just how passionate you are about book analyses and books in general. I find myself struggling to read non-fantasy books because I'm a black girl with mild depression symptoms who loves escapism, but you are inspiring me to possibly delve into more books about current events...possibly...I say that because I can't even imagine myself reading about the real world and not crying all day, but that's just me. Until then, I'll just keep watching your videos for book summaries. And your dialogue is amazing! You are well-spoken and that also inspires me a lot cause I have trouble expressing myself via talking.
Thank you so much!!
Spatula rights Cindy, spatula rights ✋😔
Never
"It's unrealistic, but you know what? I am very depressed and I kind of need this escapism right now." *a whole MOOD*
“This had got me all heated up just like my pan” 😂
Got to keep it connected to cooking somehow
The slowest relationship ever developed faster than the government distributes vaccines
ok true
watching cindy cook makes me feel better about my incompetence
This comment made me laugh out loud
"First we're gonna heat a drizzle of oil over the pan"
*Proceeds to pour an entire cup*
Ah, a woman after my own heart, I see.
it was a mMISTAKEEEEE
:( when the recipe tells you to "zest" but doesn't explain what that actually is.
right?! they assume im competent
