00:00:00.000 and and that also comes out of all these religious and philosophical ideas so
00:00:05.600 basically you just had these intellectual circles in the mid-1800s and they start to get more and
00:00:13.200 more liberal with pushing women to the front and having them be speakers and having them be writers
00:00:20.000 in the united states we had margaret fuller who was probably the first the first person
00:00:25.520 writing that was popular who talked about gender abolition so she she was part of the transcendental
00:00:33.680 club and felt like communism and and humanity moving to into the new age we need equality we
00:00:40.560 need to get rid of gender ideas we need to stop limiting humanity with gender roles so these ideas
00:00:46.960 are pretty old this is this idea of uh gender abolition which sounds really new to most of us
00:00:53.520 like oh it only kind of popped up in the last 10 years that actually comes out of the 1840s there
00:00:58.640 were already people saying this yeah wow so and so when women it got the right to vote was it the late
00:01:06.320 1800s or early 1900 1920 ish is right in the united states it was 1920 in england they kind of phased
00:01:14.320 it in but right around the same time so i'd say around right around 1920. so i heard that in the
00:01:19.680 1800s like they were like the women's movement was planning and associations and that they were
00:01:25.360 actually like no like they weren't known as a peaceful movement at all like could you tell me
00:01:30.960 more about that sure yeah a lot of women who were in the suffrage movement were basically terrorists
00:01:36.800 so they would do bombings poisonings assassinations they would um you know burn down buildings put rocks
00:01:44.640 through storefronts um and they would get arrested quite often and put in prison and then they would
00:01:51.040 go on hunger strikes now this is something that i hear all the time because feminists who really hate
00:01:56.880 me will say you wouldn't even be allowed to be on the internet talking right now if it weren't for the
00:02:01.760 brave women who came before you and made it too yes well but the first female it doesn't make sense
00:02:09.200 because the first female millionaire was like the she was in the early 1900s or late 1800s you don't
00:02:15.280 talk about 1800s yes yeah yeah it was um that lady they made the movie about you know i'm talking about
00:02:21.120 yeah there's there were actually a handful of them um and one of the first one of the wealthiest women
00:02:26.960 who'd funded suffrage uh she's in the book her name was elva vanderbilt belmont so she married into
00:02:35.120 the vanderbilt family and got one of the first ever divorces that wealthy people had in the united
00:02:42.640 states she got a ton of money out of that divorce settlement and this was she alleged that her
00:02:48.480 spouse was cheating got a divorce got a huge divorce settlement inherited a bunch of properties from
00:02:54.720 this man's family from a vanderbilt then she married his best friend typical feminist kind of move
00:03:01.280 right married the best friend who's also wealthy he was from the belmont family and they were like
00:03:06.240 bankers and uh financial advisors to the wild again did she do it again she did well he died
00:03:14.320 he drank himself to death and died so she got yet another inheritance and became i think she was at
00:03:19.840 the time the world's wealthiest woman and so she she said after that she was done with men and she was
00:03:26.080 going to dedicate the rest of her life to feminism and the suffrage movement and she funded most of it
00:03:31.920 so when these women would get put in prison for doing terrorist activities she would bail them out she
00:03:37.440 would put up their bail money and get them out of jail and help them reorganize get back out there and
00:03:42.640 continue doing this stuff and again this is even at this time we're talking turn of the century right
00:03:49.360 around 1900 1910s um suffrage was still deeply unpopular with women only about four percent of
00:03:57.680 women and all of the like straw polls that they would do at the time or um where they're doing like a
00:04:03.360 survey to ask women if they even want suffrage on the ballot at that time from all the data i could find
00:04:09.440 it was about four percent of women who were interested they had much bigger membership in anti-suffrage groups
00:04:16.320 way more women members than they had in pro-suffrage groups um and i'm working on another book right now
00:04:23.840 about what the anti-suffrage women said because they put out a lot of writings and pamphlets and
00:04:30.400 political tracks as well and they have really great solid reasoning for not wanting the vote that okay that
00:04:37.040 was what switched my opinion on voting because i always thought there was like three waves of fem that's
00:04:42.640 always what you hear right there's three waves of feminism and like the second and third were bad
00:04:47.200 but the first was good until i heard on like a crowder episode that like women didn't want the
00:04:52.160 right to vote so i was like well why wouldn't they want that like you know it's not like i'm like like
00:04:57.520 they had to have had a reason right right so then i started looking at like i started looking up some
00:05:02.400 anti-suffrage like writings and this woman was writing how it was like the breakdown of the family and how
00:05:08.000 you're supposed to like two are supposed to be one flesh and i was like day that's kind of what
00:05:12.960 happened it is what happened saying this is going to be the breakdown of the family this can't happen
00:05:18.080 i'm like well dead like the based woman like she was right and so that's when i realized it wasn't like
00:05:25.040 what i thought no it's definitely not what anyone thinks we've all been sold like a certain packaged
00:05:32.000 version of feminism and the reason for that because you might be asking yourself okay there's the
00:05:37.440 mainline history of all this stuff that everyone's kind of heard what makes me think that rachel has
00:05:43.200 just like found all this stuff that nobody else knows well the reason is because in the in uh the
00:05:48.720 late 60s when the ford foundation and the rockefeller foundation literally created women's studies that
00:05:55.760 was not a field of study until like 1970 they created it for the purposes of continuing this
00:06:01.840 social engineering that they were already working on and once that happened and they gave tons of
00:06:08.240 funding to major universities to create women's studies departments um they basically became the
00:06:14.640 gatekeepers of all the history so the margaret sanger papers um any of the historical collections
00:06:20.880 that we have that would tell you all of this information it is in the libraries of the gender
00:06:27.280 studies departments at these huge universities and the professors there kind of get to gatekeep
00:06:33.120 the information translate it and package it and then give it to students write books do things like so
00:06:39.840 they kind of disseminate the information and they they literally come right out and say that they do that
00:06:46.080 from a feminist standpoint because and here's their reasoning they said well the real history like the
00:06:52.960 the the unbiased not that there's ever truly unbiased history but the the historical narrative
00:06:59.840 that existed before 1970 well that was written by men so they're going to put a patriarchal spin on it
00:07:07.200 and we don't like that so we're going to rewrite it we're going to literally rewrite women's history
00:07:12.080 from the standpoint of the oppressed woman and it's called standpoint feminism and they're very
00:07:17.760 upfront about it they don't even deny doing that they say yeah of course we took the history and we
00:07:23.120 rewrote it from the perspective of the oppressed woman so from their perspective so the story that
00:07:29.760 everyone has gotten is not anything close to what really happened it's their version it's through a
00:07:36.560 feminist lens what they think happened okay because that's what i realized too because i started
00:07:42.400 they're all giving me flat because i was on a stream once and i said you know all these studies
00:07:48.480 that come out i don't need a study to tell me anything like like and i what i mean is like
00:07:54.400 i'll see studies that say the sky isn't blue and if i look up the little say it's it's pink and i'm like
00:08:01.280 well i'm looking at it now it's blue and what i realized is i think there's a lot of studies like
00:08:07.040 pushed out by like feminism where like it's like made in these universities and it's like
00:08:13.360 with their idea like there's something with the level of studies where like the quality has gone
00:08:17.680 down and i don't know how or why i'm not i'm not a big you know academic like yeah but i'm just like
00:08:25.120 i'm as an outsider looking in it's like something's off you know you could just like feel it like you could
00:08:30.640 just i don't know yeah if you have just like a little bit of a if you're somebody like you who's
00:08:35.840 like well but i want to know what's really going on here because what you're telling me doesn't match
00:08:40.320 up with like the problems i'm seeing going on in my culture right now like you're a young woman who's
00:08:45.280 trying to figure out dating relationships marriage uh why is marriage such a crumbling institution why
00:08:51.200 are all the children being raised by single mom like what's what's at the bottom of this what's
00:08:55.120 going on here and when you try to actually dig into the history it's very difficult because they
00:09:00.560 gatekeep the history they they kind of co-opted it and turned it into what they want it to be
00:09:06.240 for propaganda purposes so that they can steer the the social movements right they do this it's kind
00:09:13.200 of like the um black lives matter where they'll rewrite the history there as well what's that called
00:09:19.040 like the 19 the 1815 project or something like that i can't i can never remember the year but
00:09:25.520 it's basically where they'll kind of rewrite history from the from the perspective of the oppressed
00:09:31.680 you know black slave it's very similar to that they just do it with women instead
