Short YouTube monologue by Hadar Shemesh (International Women's Day) giving practical language guidance for women: which words to pronounce clearly (e.g., 'women' vs 'girl', 'salary' pronunciation), which phrases to use less (e.g., 'just'), and key terms to know (e.g., 'mansplaining', 'misogyny' with definition). The speaker emphasizes speaking up, not diminishing oneself, and not fearing mistakes.

Hello, beautiful women of the world. It's hadar and for International Women's Day, I wanted to share with you this. Words you should pronounce clearly. Girls. G R L Girls. But we prefer women. One woman. Many women. W man. Women. You go Girl. Salary. When you go and ask for an increase in your salary, make sure you open your mouth for the a sound in salary. Otherwise you will be asking for an increase in your salary. Words you should use less just. I just think this is a bad idea. I think this is a bad idea. Don't diminish what you have to say. Say it simply and confidently. Words you should know. Mansplaining. When a man explains something to a woman in a condescending way about a subject, she probably knows more about. Misogyny. Misogyny. Misogyny is dislike, hatred, contempt or prejudice against women or girls. You're such a misogynist. And quit your mansplaining phrases. You should know. Don't interrupt me, please. Interrupt. And you can also drop the t innerrupt. Don't interrupt me, please. Because it's hard as it is to say what you think in a clear and accurate way in English. It's even harder when someone else thinks they have something more important to say. And the most important thing is speak up. And don't be afraid to make mistakes. Because that's the only way to learn. Sam.
