Transcript

00:00:00.000 So you also had a very controversial quote where you said, men want debt free virgins
00:00:08.500 without tattoos.
00:00:09.440 Yes.
00:00:10.440 That was a blog post that went viral about, it was in 17, 2017 or 18, I don't remember
00:00:18.280 of it.
00:00:19.280 The minute I published that thing, it went wild, wild.
00:00:24.620 I went upstairs and told Ken what I'd done.
00:00:28.960 Lori, I even told one of my sons, he goes, mom, but it started a good conversation.
00:00:41.820 But what was shocking was so many Christian women coming out against me, like, what about
00:00:49.900 women who aren't virgins?
00:00:51.220 It's like, what about young women who are virgins?
00:00:55.140 Don't you want me warning them?
00:00:57.360 And then I even really, I didn't even really, and it was a woman who had been writing me
00:01:00.960 who suggested that title.
00:01:03.060 And she didn't have the tattoos.
00:01:04.060 I had the tattoos.
00:01:05.560 But men, that's what really, most men do want that.
00:01:09.060 What men want a woman who has slept around a ton, who is covered with tattoos, who has
00:01:14.220 a ton of debt?
00:01:15.220 To me, that was just like common sense.
00:01:17.480 But common sense is flowing out the window.
00:01:19.360 I got nailed from everywhere, except for a lot of big magazines and Good Morning America.
00:01:25.260 They want to interview me.
00:01:26.060 And I didn't want it because I knew they were just going to, although I probably, I could
00:01:28.620 stand on my own two feet.
00:01:29.760 I know against anybody, but a woman from USA Today contacted me and she said, I agree with
00:01:37.060 you.
00:01:38.060 I want to interview.
00:01:39.060 I said, okay.
00:01:40.060 So we had a great interview.
00:01:41.060 It was a great article that she wrote up on me.
00:01:43.060 Great.
00:01:44.060 She got fired shortly afterwards, but, but, but anyway, um, yeah, so what'd you want to ask
00:01:51.780 about it?
00:01:52.780 Oh, I wanted to know what prompted this and what, because a woman was writing me, a woman
00:01:59.620 was writing me and asked, she wrote me frequently.
00:02:03.060 And I was just talking about what college does to women, you know, so, cause college gets
00:02:08.620 women sexually active and it, and it debt, and then the tattoos are exploding and they
00:02:16.140 just get so gray and ugly as you age.
00:02:18.200 So ugly, full of toxins.
00:02:20.060 They're not healthy for you.
00:02:21.780 Um, so, I mean, it's just, you see these women with them all over their bodies and my
00:02:28.340 sister had happened to, I was like, no, ah, I tried.
00:02:32.400 Every time I go home, I'm like, I will pay.
00:02:35.120 I will pay you money to take these off.
00:02:37.220 I will pay.
00:02:38.520 She's so stubborn.
00:02:39.520 She won't do it.
00:02:40.520 Yeah.
00:02:41.520 None of my children wanted to do any of that.
00:02:43.020 They never, I think they knew what our answer would be.
00:02:45.520 They knew as well.
00:02:46.520 My mom was so mad.
00:02:49.240 She was like, do not once they're an adult, they go do what they want, but I know that
00:02:56.280 women who have slept around, who had debt and who have tattoos can have fabulous marriages
00:03:01.820 when they repent and they're new creatures in Christ.
00:03:04.540 And they become godly submissive wives.
00:03:06.940 I know they can have great marriages.
00:03:09.060 That post was written to young women who have not gone that route because there's a lot of
00:03:15.740 scars going that route and a lot of harm done to women.
00:03:18.700 And, and it's, uh, if you want a good godly man, it's a lot easier to get a good godly
00:03:23.260 man if you haven't slept around and have tattoos and debt.
00:03:26.380 So, but I, you know, I, a lot of things I write offend a lot of people.
00:03:31.900 Well, yeah, what's the alternative?
00:03:35.020 Tell them to sleep around, get tattoos, get a ton of debt.
00:03:38.380 Like, I know people will say this to me and they'll be like, you're not a virgin.
00:03:45.260 I'm like, I'm so I'm not, but it's still a better route.
00:03:47.900 Like I'm not married.
00:03:49.020 Like it's a better route to go, to go that way.
00:03:52.700 You know?
00:03:53.100 And it's funny.
00:03:53.660 I had a cousin who was homeschooled.
00:03:57.580 And I thought they were so nuts.
00:03:59.100 Her parents, I was like, when I was a kid, I was like, they're homeschooling them.
00:04:03.180 They're like, they're so sheltered, all this stuff.
00:04:07.740 You know, she's married with two kids right now.
00:04:09.980 So I'm like, you know, honestly, like the parents knew what they were doing.
00:04:13.500 Yep.
00:04:14.380 She trained, they trained them up in the ways of the Lord, the good ways.
00:04:17.660 God created us and his ways are best for us.
00:04:21.820 He created us to be mothers.
00:04:23.420 Look at our bodies, breasts, wounds, monthly periods, eggs, ovaries, fallopian tubes, hormones.
00:04:32.300 We were created to have children and men were created to give them, to give what we need to
00:04:38.860 have children.
00:04:39.420 You know, I mean, it's just, it's so obvious to anyone who has eyes to see, but feminists tried
00:04:45.100 to convince women otherwise, you know, that, that no, we were created for the workforce.
00:04:49.900 We weren't created for marriage and having children, you know, like they were deceived.
00:04:55.420 So I am going to give you a couple of phrases I have heard on my show.
00:04:58.860 We're going to close it off with this.
00:05:00.380 I'm going to, I want to give your, this is going to be so funny, your response.
00:05:04.540 All right.
00:05:05.660 Okay.
00:05:05.900 So women tell me, I need a man who can handle me.
00:05:09.100 Yikes.
00:05:12.780 She's not going to be, have a good marriage.
00:05:14.780 No, she needs a man who she's going to love and adore and reverence and submit to.
00:05:19.900 That's how we that switch handle me.
00:05:22.540 Oh, good luck.
00:05:24.460 Good luck finding a man who wants to handle you.
00:05:26.860 I mean, it might look really cute at first cause she's cute and bubbly or whatever, but
00:05:32.460 long-term that's a terrible, terrible, terrible term.
00:05:36.620 Okay.
00:05:36.940 So other women they'll say, who cares about body count?
00:05:41.420 Men that care about that are just insecure.
00:05:49.660 No, they're not insecure.
00:05:53.740 They don't like thinking of a woman being with a bunch of different men and
00:05:58.860 comparing and the things I've heard from young women who had slept with what they knew that I
00:06:06.460 just had no, I was a virgin when I got married that I had no clue of, you know, I was like, Oh,
00:06:10.380 garbage, you know, it's experiment with each other, learn from each other.
00:06:16.460 They do care.
00:06:17.100 Most men, I don't know about most men actually in these days and age where everything is so
00:06:21.900 corrupted.
00:06:22.940 I would still say most men still want women, virgins or women who have not slept around that
00:06:28.380 much, you know, because it, the STDs, the infertility risk factor, abortions,
00:06:37.180 women suffer so much more from fornication than men do because of the way that we're built.
00:06:43.900 And so, and emotional, the emotional attachment, the heartbreak, it's like I said, God can transform
00:06:52.940 anybody, but men are taking a lot bigger risk if they marry a woman with a high body count.
00:06:59.020 Being able to have children and
00:07:03.020 them being faithful to them because if they've been promiscuous outside of marriage, see me,
00:07:07.580 I've only had sex with a man for 43 years almost.
00:07:11.260 The thought of having sex with anyone else is disgusting.
00:07:15.180 You know, I just can't even fathom because I, I've only had it with one.
00:07:18.300 I remember on my honeymoon night thinking,
00:07:20.540 man, I'm glad I'm married to this man.
00:07:22.300 I would not want to just, this is not just something you just slip into. Oops, you know,
00:07:28.940 I'm glad I'm married to this man and we can learn this, learn this together, you know,
00:07:34.060 and, and that's how it should be on your honeymoon night. You're both awkward.
00:07:38.620 But yeah, women who have slept around a lot, have a, it prepares them for divorce
00:07:45.820 because they'll fall into an affair. I've had men flirt with me and kind of go after me since I've
00:07:51.420 been married, but I had no desire to want to have sex with them or have an affair.
00:07:59.180 No desire. So it's a, it's a virginity. Sexual purity is a protection for marriage.
00:08:07.180 And I saved myself. My mom told me one thing. She didn't teach us a lot about purity or anything.
00:08:12.460 She wasn't, I wouldn't say she was a godly woman at all, but she said, you want to be able to stand
00:08:16.540 before the man that you want to marry and say, she told me this when I was like 12 or 13,
00:08:21.260 I've saved myself for you. I thought, yeah, I do. And so I did.
00:08:26.060 That was all she had to say. And that was all I, I, she didn't take me to purity camps and
00:08:31.420 talk to them. Like, but it was, well, it was a sex fornication was rampant when I was in high
00:08:37.420 school too. Cause I was in high school in the seventies after the sixties, sexual revolution.
00:08:41.660 So it was rampant. All my friends were sleeping with their boyfriends, but it just never appealed
00:08:44.700 to me. But why do I want to do that? I just had an ick. It was an ick factor to me.
00:08:51.180 So that's a fallacy. No, it, it, the chances of having a faithful wife with a woman with a high
00:09:02.300 body count is very slim. I'm sure there's statistics that prove that. So, um,
00:09:10.380 another one, you know, another phrase is I don't cook. I don't clean.
00:09:15.740 Let me tell you how I got this ring. And then, you know, they list some sexual acts
00:09:25.180 is a popular song that the teenagers are singing nowadays.
00:09:31.500 That's so sad. Yeah. They're actually marrying these women without who don't know how to cook,
00:09:39.020 who don't know how to act just because of what they do to them sexually.
00:09:41.740 Yeah. Whoa. I'll just remember. We had one girl who my younger son was dating one time. She came over
00:09:51.260 and we're all eating around the table and she goes, I don't even know how to cook. I don't,
00:09:54.860 I don't want to cook. And right then and there, my son just thought, nope, not for me. No,
00:10:01.900 but, um, that those marriages aren't laid on a good foundation at all. That's because,
00:10:08.780 because you know what women are very sexually available to men before marriage. It seems like
00:10:14.060 to get the man, but from my husband, mentoring men from my scene, they become not sexually available
00:10:21.500 after marriage. They use it as a manipulation tactic because they're not good women. They don't
00:10:26.940 have integrity or morals. They're just going to get a man because of how they give them sex, you know?
00:10:32.460 So, um, so they're going to use that. They're going to use that power against their husbands
00:10:37.420 once they get married. So men don't marry like that.
