It caught my attention when you
said "empancipated world"

with regards to your mother,
even though

in the nineties you said in an interview,
with the strongest conviction

that you don't believe in emancipation,
in equal rights between men and women,

and as long as you live, nobody will
convince you about it.

I mean that this has legitimacy.

Yes, I agree with myself.

Even though it is forbidden to say today.

We live in a free world, where it is impossible
to name things as they are.

Nobody has to agree with me at all.

I also see a lot of hate because
I believe in something

that is called "normality" by the way.

And I also learned that what's outside of
normality, is not normality, not normal.

- What makes you...
- What's more, it's abnormal.

There is a 2000-year-old culture,
in which we live, even if only on its ruins,

but it's still here.

They often say, "what's good for whom"

Well, my friend, there is absolute good.

A whole belief system informs us about it,

that which organized this Europe,
deserving a better fate,

for 1700-1800, almost 2000 years.

Just for a sentence, let's go back to
emancipation.

What in it is unacceptable
or unreconcilable to you?

That as I see, it's result is approximately
that we have female weightlifting.

I'm exaggerating on purpose.

For whom this is good and for what,
I don't want to debate that now with anyone.

I don't like this. It's not the task of women
to earn as much money as men.

I feel like this.
- It's not their task? What is the task of women?

Well, say, to fulfil the female principle, right?
To belong to somebody.

To birth a child to somebody. To be a mother.
- Do these exclude each other?

Well, it seems very much so.
How can you be a mother,

how can you spend so much
time with your children

if you're in a leading position making
I don't know how many forints.

Today, everything is valued by
how many forints you make

and how many billions of necessary
or unnecessary things

you exchange for this universal value.

This doesn't mean that women and men
aren't equally important.

It's in the book of Moses, in the big book,
that the Lord made the human to be man and woman,

in his own image.

If that's so, we are equally important, women and men.

But where does it follow that men and women
have to compete with each other, say,

on the job market. Isn't it strange that the
our physiology is a bit different, too?

That ideally the hips are wider for the women,
while the shoulders are wider for men?

Why is it so? No matter how long we have
equal rights movement and emancipation movement,

as long as it's not mandatory to
modify human life genetically,

it will stay so as long the world exists.

Why is this so?

Men have wider shoulders to carry the beam,
women have wider hips to give birth to children.

- Don't you consider when saying these...
- I do consider, because I spent 27 years

on the frontline and when I thought
I said something that's not offensive to anyone,

I suddenly noticed that on a feminist site,

they are degrading my mother.

It has a bit of irony, doesn't it?

If we think a bit more. So it's unbelievable.

Just because many people say something stupid,
it won't become true.

I can understand that there are consequences
if someone insists on what he considers normality

and the world already considers something else
to be normal, but the world shouldn't restrict me

to its worldly part-truths because I believe
in a very different truth. --END OF SUBTITLES.
