Rebel News Podcast - Miss Understood No. 17

00:00:00.000 Hello and welcome to Misunderstood, the show for the culturally and politically misunderstood

00:00:25.080 lady or gent. We are your hosts. I'm Nat. And I'm Kat. Today we're going to be talking about

00:00:31.440 biological males entering women's spaces again, including Leah Thomas and a male inmate at a

00:00:37.800 women's prison who was accused of raping a fellow inmate. Who'd have thought that would happen? And

00:00:43.260 we're going to talk about feminism and other things as well. But first, our patented culture

00:00:47.240 shock of moment of the week. Take it away, Nat. Yeah, so surprise, surprise, y'all. Trans swimmer

00:00:53.180 and Leah Thomas does have an unfair biological advantage, doctors claim. Didn't know we needed

00:00:58.800 an expert to tell us that one. I'm shocked. Me too. I'm shocked. Shocked. Who would have saw that

00:01:03.880 coming? Not me. That's for sure. It's not like we and many others haven't been talking about this for

00:01:08.880 months and months and months. Wait, whoa, whoa, whoa. Who wrote this article, Natasha? Oh my gosh.

00:01:14.280 It's me. Oh my gosh. What? Yeah, so guys, go to rebelnews.com and read it and buy a shirt.

00:01:19.820 Um, but seriously though, why come out and say this now? Like, why are doctors all of a sudden

00:01:25.040 so keen on exposing what we all already knew? I don't think we had doctors back in May. Oh,

00:01:30.900 no doctors a few months ago? No. Oh my goodness. I don't think so. I didn't know this. I think it's

00:01:34.560 a new invention. Like, do you think maybe though, in all seriousness, it's because like the pendulum

00:01:39.280 is kind of swinging back the other way and people are a little bit fed up with some of the hypocrisy

00:01:44.080 we're seeing from the trans lobby? Maybe it had something to do with the drag kids show that took

00:01:48.680 place last weekend where that would do it. You know what? Cause I, what I was, and this is,

00:01:52.580 you know, sort of off topic, but on topic about men, um, entering female spaces and, and the trickle

00:01:57.720 down effect that's having on children. Um, I I've mentioned this before. I'm a fan of drag as an art

00:02:03.320 form and for adults. Yes. For adults. And a lot of the people that perform drag are people who have

00:02:07.940 been subjugated and beaten up and neglected by their parents. And they needed that art form to build up

00:02:13.380 their community and their, and their themselves. And it's great. Like self-esteem. Except the pendulum

00:02:18.180 has swung way too far now. Like you just mentioned. And it always does. And it always does. And that's

00:02:22.260 the problem. So now we have kids putting dollar bills down drag queens, G strings in public places.

00:02:27.700 And it's awful. And, and this may be to answer your question. Maybe doctors are like, Hmm,

00:02:33.720 maybe it was good that we didn't beat up trans people and make them feel terrible for how they feel on

00:02:38.680 the inside. And then the pendulum swing way too far. And now male swimmer with biologically giant

00:02:43.600 lungs and long arms and strong muscles and foot long, foot long, foot long. I was going to say

00:02:49.380 arms and legs longer arms and legs, but long arms and legs. Okay. Do you think partially this may be

00:02:55.480 because like political correctness is such a plague on our society. So people actually need experts to

00:03:01.320 tell them it's okay to call out what's actually true. Cause that's kind of what I was thinking too.

00:03:05.240 And it just speaks to like the fact that the trans lobby is almost authoritarian because they are

00:03:09.940 controlling and dictating how we speak. Like you, that's just, that's egregious. Yeah. As David

00:03:16.020 Menzies would say. Yeah. Yeah. Um, one of the, uh, quotes from this article that you wrote, um, is

00:03:22.020 actually from someone who's a supporter of Leah Thomas. So it's Erica Sullivan, an Olympic swimmer and

00:03:27.420 staunch supporter of Thomas even wrote an article for Newsweek expressing how proud she is of Thomas saying

00:03:32.040 quote, she deserves like anyone else in the sport to be celebrated for her hard one success, not

00:03:38.000 labeled as a cheater simply because of her identity, but it's not because of her identity. It's because

00:03:42.960 of her biology. Yeah. And so we've talked about this before. Thomas began transitioning in 2020 at

00:03:48.880 the ages, uh, at the age of 19 and doctors say that even though she's met the hormone replacement

00:03:53.320 therapy requirements, it's not enough to reverse the effects of puberty as a male to the extent needed

00:03:58.540 to the level in the playing field. So sorry. Sorry. Sorry. Like anyone who supports Leah, but like there

00:04:05.540 is an unfair advantage. Like it's just, it's science. Like follow the flip and science. And again, we've said

00:04:12.120 this and I still stand by it. Leah Thomas has every right. She's an adult to call herself Leah to wear a female

00:04:18.240 bathing suit. I'll call her her. Like, I don't know. What, what does it hurt me? No, I don't want to, I don't want to be

00:04:23.320 rude. No, I don't know. Exactly. That's not the point. But the point is that Leah Thomas is very

00:04:27.860 capable of swimming with men. And the, another funny thing about this is that, um, somewhere in

00:04:33.400 this article you wrote that, uh, Oh no, it's a, it's the next article, but yeah, let's, we can move

00:04:38.120 into that. Okay. We'll talk about the next one. Let's, let's switch to the next article. Um, because

00:04:42.200 so the point of the article is that you pen swimmers, her teammates, uh, Leah Thomas's teammates

00:04:49.460 have come out and spoke about how the higher ups at you pen have basically threatened the girls,

00:04:55.320 the other swimmers saying like, if you speak out about Leah Thomas, your career will be over.

00:04:59.200 They said your life will be over. I don't think they meant that overtly in a physical death threat,

00:05:03.200 but they basically say like, you won't work again. You won't swim again. Um, this is non-negotiable.

00:05:08.100 But one of the things that is funny because it says right in the headline there that, uh,

00:05:13.700 she wants to like, Leah wants to go on to the Olympic and it's like, you know, who wasn't going to go

00:05:17.880 to the Olympics? William Thomas. Yeah. William Thomas was nowhere near in contention for the

00:05:22.860 Olympics, but you 500 ranked like 500 or something like that. Yeah, no, it's so true. And I mean,

00:05:29.660 how rich is it that the you pen coach is a male? He's a male coach, letting a male do this to other

00:05:36.620 women, men. I hope you don't have daughters. And if you do, I hope that they are never faced with

00:05:40.660 this sort of just horrific. I, I don't even know how to describe it. Like just mistreatment,

00:05:46.340 I guess like, it's just so ridiculous that a man is taking advantage of women like this and

00:05:51.120 feminists are like, Oh, but praise Leah. And it's like, excuse me. This is a man doing this

00:05:55.420 to men technically doing this to a team full of young women who've worked their butts off to get

00:06:00.600 to where they are. But you know, it occurred to me that in sports, like taking advantage of athletes

00:06:06.360 is not new. True. Like there's literally, like I wrote down a couple of the things here that happens

00:06:10.560 in professional and college sports, sexual abuse, abuse of power, uh, pushing athletes way too hard,

00:06:15.300 like hurting them physically, doping, cheating and rigging. So it's like, are we shocked that

00:06:20.640 like, cause the point of that article from, uh, the daily mail was that you pen, they like the

00:06:26.560 Leah Thomas's, uh, swim mates think that the reason they keep her on is because they keep winning

00:06:31.800 with Leah. And it's like, well, obviously they want to win. They want those like stats and titles

00:06:36.540 and all that stuff. So it's like, exactly. So it's like, do the men care about the women? And

00:06:41.760 no, they want to win. So it's like, are we shocked? No, no, it's not shocking. It's just

00:06:47.480 very sad. It is very sad. And I guess Leah took to, uh, she went on good morning America y'all.

00:06:53.500 And she said, anyone who says she isn't allowed to compete as a woman is transphobic. Full stop.

00:06:59.320 Actually, I think there's a little room for conversation here, given you are like breaking

00:07:03.660 records, like, like huge records that women have like worked toward for their whole life. Like,

00:07:08.720 I just don't understand. Like there should be room for conversation. And if there isn't,

00:07:12.480 you're not very open-minded Leah. No. But I mean, when you call someone a transphobe,

00:07:16.040 people expect that you're just going to shut up and we're not, we'll never stop. So probably not.

00:07:21.200 It's unfortunate that two women who previously probably didn't identify as feminists now are

00:07:26.300 feminists. That's the thing. It pushes you to the other side because you're like, wow,

00:07:29.600 I actually, I can't believe in 2022, I need to preserve female spaces. Like that to me,

00:07:34.860 like 10 years ago would have been like, oh, female spaces. Yeah. I know. It's kind of woke.

00:07:39.300 Yeah, I know. And now it's like, oh my God. And it actually must be preserved. Yes. Yes. Yeah. And

00:07:44.080 then I guess Leah also went to ESPN. Leah, you're making a lot of headlines these days. It must be

00:07:49.240 nice. Never heard of William though before. Yeah. Never heard of William before this. Trans women

00:07:53.420 competing in women's sports does not threaten sports as a whole because trans women are a very small

00:07:58.220 minority and the NCAA rules regarding trans women competing have been around for 10 plus years. And we

00:08:03.860 haven't seen any massive wave of trans women dominating. Yeah. That's because there's like

00:08:07.740 no trans athletes. There's like five of you. Like, I'm sorry, Leah, but like, that's just because

00:08:12.720 there aren't a lot of biological males in women's sports. That doesn't mean it's not harmful though.

00:08:16.420 Yeah. And it's funny how she poses it. Like, it's a fact, like it does not threaten women. It's like,

00:08:19.940 well, I wonder why Leah Thomas would say that she has no possible incentive. Yeah. You have no incentive

00:08:26.920 to say that, to take that stance with no, just full stop. You're transphobic. Like,

00:08:30.920 and then she goes on to defend herself. She's like, well, I immediately became slower in the

00:08:35.340 water after I started taking hormone replacement therapy. It's like, okay, but like, did your lungs

00:08:40.380 and heart shrink? Like, did your hands and legs get shorter? Like, what about those hands, Leah?

00:08:44.520 Like they're big. Like, I don't know. Sorry, babe. Sorry, babe. It's a no. No, it's a no for me,

00:08:49.100 dog. I, again, I'll say it again. Just swim with the men. No problem. Yeah. Like you're training your

00:08:53.440 bikini and swim with the dudes. Exactly. You, you have no problem with that. And you obviously have no

00:08:58.020 problem going in the dressing room of opposite gendered people because you do it all the time

00:09:02.140 and you make other people feel uncomfortable. So why shouldn't you feel like if it's about like,

00:09:05.780 oh, Leah, the woman doesn't want to go in the men's change room. Like, first of all,

00:09:08.900 just get a different change room. Like get a little, uh, some sort of privacy screen.

00:09:13.000 Yeah. Like you have no problem changing a towel. Yeah. So like, it shouldn't be that much of a

00:09:16.940 problem, but oh, it's because you won't win. Yeah. That's I'm saying it. Sorry. It's true.

00:09:22.060 Yeah. That was fun. Anyway, should we talk about even more fun things? Oh boy. Here's a,

00:09:26.520 here's a doozy, but I mean, not surprising again, because we've talked about this and it's not the

00:09:30.980 first incident, but here's something that's documented where a female inmate reports rape

00:09:35.560 occurred in a California women's prison. Yeah. Um, so this woman came out as a trans woman. Yes.

00:09:43.740 So there was a man who was biologically male and then just decided one day that he was a she and is now

00:09:50.120 in a female prison, even though he has, she, he has a violent past. And this woman, uh, is a witness

00:09:56.380 to the violent assault, which left one female inmate unconscious and unable to be resuscitated

00:10:02.260 by the guard. So they had to take her to the medical center. Um, I think she lived, but yeah,

00:10:08.420 I don't know. She was beaten so badly by this biological male in a women's prison that she

00:10:12.860 was unconscious. And like, that's not a funny thing. No, it's like, it's okay. Like we obviously

00:10:18.300 care about like women's sports, but this is much worse. Like this is lives. Like, yeah,

00:10:22.580 this is someone potentially being, well, first of all, they're being sexually assaulted, which you

00:10:26.020 want, like no one wants that for anyone. And then secondly, there's a risk of death now too. So like,

00:10:31.200 yes, I'm sorry. Like something, something's got to give here, especially because apparently in

00:10:34.660 California prisons, 33.8% of trans identified male inmates are registered sex offenders.

00:10:40.460 That's like, that's like a big chunk, like a big chunk out of three. Yeah. And apparently according

00:10:46.300 to the Bureau of prisons, almost 50% of trans identified male inmates have been convicted of a

00:10:51.460 sexual offense. And that's compared to just 11% of the non-trans identified male inmate population.

00:10:57.220 Like, I'm sorry, then there's something in the water here. Like that's weird.

00:11:00.460 And I would argue that it's not that people who identify as trans are more likely to be violent

00:11:04.820 sexual offenders. I think it's violent sex offenders are more likely to take advantage of

00:11:08.520 these stupid laws. Exactly. Yeah. They're going to do whatever it takes to be more comfy in prison

00:11:13.240 because I mean, obviously you want to be surrounded by women that you can rape rather than men who are

00:11:17.140 going to rape you, right? Yeah. Or kill you or whatever. Right. Exactly.

00:11:20.120 Um, it's just crazy though. And apparently people like advocated for this biological male to be

00:11:25.620 moved from a male prison to a women's one. And these people are, I bet you they call themselves

00:11:30.020 feminists, like just insanity. Yeah. And, um, so here's a quote from the article. It says,

00:11:36.120 disturbingly, just after the rape threats were issued, Robertson, the alleged, the alleged assailant

00:11:41.580 was quickly and quietly moved to the California institution for women, a lower security women's

00:11:45.740 correctional facility. So instead of like, uh, I don't know, rectifying the situation, taking off

00:11:53.200 the wig and maybe putting him back in a male prison, he's going to a less safe, uh, like a less

00:12:00.560 protected, lower security prison for women. Oh, and, and Robertson, this, uh, trans inmate also

00:12:10.140 threatened the witnesses of the rape and said, I'm going to effing rape you all. Oh, good. And

00:12:17.600 effing kill you or something to that effect. That's, that's wonderful. So this person is

00:12:21.360 legitimately suffering from gender dysphoria, you guys, and we should be very sympathetic. Yeah.

00:12:26.020 Even though he's threatening to rape women after raping a woman. And especially because like

00:12:30.080 many women in prison have already experienced domestic violence and sexual abuse. I mean,

00:12:34.700 like they don't, they like prison is sort of sadly like a safe space for some of these people. And

00:12:40.180 I'm not like, I'm not trying to erase that they are criminals, you know, but I don't know. I don't

00:12:44.060 know their stories. Yeah, no, but it doesn't mean that they deserve to be raped. No, nobody deserves

00:12:48.020 that. So I just think like, something's gotta, something's gotta give here because this is,

00:12:52.740 and this is what we were talking about earlier with the slippery slope. It's like, okay, great. So

00:12:56.360 now what, like, how far does this have to go before people are like, okay, we got to call the quit,

00:13:01.320 call this quits. Like we gotta, yeah. Like what protect women? Yeah. Like what if one of these

00:13:05.920 sexual predators identifies as a child and goes sent to juvie? Like we're, we're erasing these

00:13:11.720 very fundamental biologically essential lines. And we're just like, well, they feel like a child.

00:13:16.460 So they should be treated like a child and put in juvenile detention centers with children who

00:13:21.140 are victims of abuse themselves. Like cool. Yeah. It's just, it's honestly a joke. Like,

00:13:26.660 like the way they, they talk about gender as if you can just flip flop, you know, like it's just

00:13:33.740 not, it's not scientific. It's not biblical and it's just, it's obviously harming women and it's

00:13:40.000 wrong and it's wrong. It's wrong. Yeah. So, uh, speaking of other things that are wrong, let's

00:13:46.060 move on. So how feminism is driving the growing trend of anti-women subculture. So this is an

00:13:52.140 Evie article and we love Evie, but I found myself feeling slightly triggered by this article for

00:13:57.680 some reason. And I, well, I don't blame you. Like I'm, I'm, like I said, like we, we're not

00:14:02.320 really feminist in like the, in the modern sense of feminism. Yeah. Well, the new, new modern.

00:14:07.180 Yeah. Like whatever, like women should vote for sure. Um, not NDP though. Yeah. Um, but anyway,

00:14:12.540 so this article basically talks about how there's this term called men going their own way and

00:14:18.480 it's, yeah. And it's basically like men are pursuing a lifestyle of dealing with women as

00:14:24.160 though women are enemies of all men. That sounds healthy. Um, sounds, it creeps, it creeps me out

00:14:30.780 a little bit. Um, yeah, it's creepy. Um, it's basically like in the article, they describe it

00:14:36.000 as, um, they try to equate it as the same thing as women who hate men. And you know, Nat and I were

00:14:42.780 just talking about this before we came out and you made an excellent point, which was like when women

00:14:47.140 hate men, they don't run them over with cars and throw acid in their face and murder them. Like

00:14:51.400 it's yeah. Like they kind of different, they group these people in with like incels and voluntary

00:14:55.900 celibates and PUAs, which are called pickup artists. And like, I just remember that Toronto

00:15:00.280 man in 2018 who was like literally a misogynist and he drove on Yonge street, you know, a car

00:15:05.920 through a, he killed, uh, 11 people and injured 15 people because he hated women. Like that's,

00:15:12.080 that's what happens. When's the last time a woman did that? Yeah. Like that's the thing.

00:15:14.600 Like, okay, sure. Like a, a woman who hates a man is going to dye her hair blue. I was

00:15:18.400 going to say she'll dye her hair blue and it's awful. It's awful, but it's not quite

00:15:22.040 the same. Yeah. Like she's not going to physically harm someone. I mean, maybe, and no one's a

00:15:26.360 monolith, but I just mean like most of the time, like, look, we talked about mass shootings

00:15:29.440 last week. Like these guys were kind of like weird loner dudes who hated women. I'm sure

00:15:33.780 like there's just, they all had terrible, like, well, the one had a bad relationship with

00:15:37.640 his mom. Yeah, exactly. Exactly. Father, bad relationship with his mother and then killed

00:15:40.580 his grandmother. Right. And it's like, obviously extremes are bad, but I just

00:15:44.460 think like, this is a little different. And I don't like, I just don't get why these men,

00:15:49.360 this group of men are just pointing fingers at women. And it's like, well, what, if you

00:15:52.660 have a problem, like, why don't you be part of the solution instead?

00:15:56.400 Yeah, I know. And like, what, why do you think women are going off the deep end and dyeing

00:15:59.480 their hair blue? And like, you know, a couple of weeks ago, we talked about those women who

00:16:02.360 were like, the planet is going to be uninhabitable in 30 years. Like people shouldn't have

00:16:06.360 children. It's like, okay, that's a pretty extreme version of like feminism, eco-feminism,

00:16:11.760 where you're so angry that you want to sort of like, you want to end things, but

00:16:16.420 you're not, you're like ending your line. You're ending your genetic line by not having

00:16:19.680 children. You're not, maybe we're better off without your line. I don't know.

00:16:22.740 Well, yeah, I agree. I'm like, go for it. Don't have kids. That's no skin off my teeth.

00:16:26.300 Yeah. But it's, it's different. And women take

00:16:29.660 it in a different direction. Yeah. On average.

00:16:33.280 On average. On average. Yeah. No, I would agree. One of the quotes he said, well, first of all,

00:16:38.120 he said, men are disgusted with women in almost every way today. Okay. Disgusted. Like you're

00:16:43.720 disgusted with us. Like I'd like to see their search history. I bet you're not disgusted with

00:16:47.760 them in every way. Yeah, exactly. Um, so one of the quotes he said was look around you. Every girl,

00:16:52.940 every girl acts like a dude and has to have more guy friends than her actual boyfriend. Every girl,

00:16:58.160 like, where is the, where's the data to back that up? Because like, I even know women who are

00:17:02.920 feminists, by the way, who do not hate men at all. I actually don't know one woman who

00:17:08.460 is on the left or the right who hates men. Yeah. I don't, I know they exist. I see them

00:17:12.780 on the internet, but I don't know any, I don't know any personally. And I like, we both have

00:17:16.780 friends on either side, um, and friends who are not Christian as well. And it's just funny. Cause

00:17:22.480 it's like, like he goes on to say there's just mutual debauchery based on meaningless sex and

00:17:28.100 fickle mind games. And in most relationships, I see the women being an overbearing swear word.

00:17:33.700 Yeah. Men never do that. Right. Never have fickle sexual relationships and play mind games or be

00:17:38.660 overbearing. Like the, the, I'm so sick of this, like, um, assumption that it's always women who

00:17:44.120 are overbearing and toxic. Like, I'm sorry. I've, I've known men in my life who were like,

00:17:47.980 Oh, you smiled at me. You love me. Yeah. Like exactly. And it's like, like secular men are not

00:17:53.860 loving the fact that girls are like convinced that it's empowering to sleep with them. Like

00:17:58.800 with no strings attached and stuff like that. Like, come on, you guys are part of the problem

00:18:02.400 here too. And I think honestly, the reason everyone in the whole world, male or females in this mess is

00:18:08.200 because of the, there's a masculinity crisis. Like I actually genuinely think that's men create tough

00:18:14.680 times. Exactly. Um, and I just think, I think that's, and I'm not saying women aren't part of the

00:18:20.280 problem, but like, even from like a biblical perspective, like according to Pew research,

00:18:24.500 Christian women in the U S are more religious than their male counterparts. I think that means

00:18:28.600 that they actually practice their faith. And it's like, well, if women are taking on that role,

00:18:33.660 which is like biblically men are called to, you know, be like that leader, the leader, you know,

00:18:39.020 they're called to be men. Then of course there's this weird, there's an issue in society when women

00:18:43.600 feel like they have to step it up in ways that they actually aren't biblically called to.

00:18:47.540 Yeah. We actually talked about this on Andrew says, well, it's coming out this week, I think

00:18:51.780 where it's like, why are women, you know, in his words, like, I forget what he said,

00:18:56.240 but something about like, you know, turning to only fans and to make money. And it's like,

00:19:00.780 well, maybe it's, maybe women feel like they have to be the breadwinners because men aren't

00:19:05.960 stepping up to the plate. It doesn't even have to be about money, but it's like in, in a biblical

00:19:10.140 sense, they're not leading their family. They're not, they're not someone exactly. They're not

00:19:13.740 providing them. They're too close with their moms. I don't know. They don't have that moral

00:19:16.760 compass that women crave. Yeah. Like, and my pastor said this to me and I don't, he wasn't

00:19:21.860 his quote, but like a man leads and it's like, Oh yeah. How offensive, but a woman inspires and

00:19:27.460 women are part of the problem because maybe we're not inspiring men to be strong, but like, it's,

00:19:32.400 it's almost like the chicken and the egg. Like we both need to stand up and be like the best

00:19:37.300 versions of ourselves. We have roles to play. We have roles to play. So like, well, on one hand,

00:19:41.120 I do think men need to stand up and lead better, but maybe they're, and like, you know, kind

00:19:46.220 of goes against what we're talking about, but maybe in a way, like they're looking at

00:19:49.280 women and they're like, well, what do I want to lead you for? Like, but then women are like,

00:19:53.800 well, I have no one to trust and to protect me. So I'm just going to go and sell my pictures

00:20:00.300 on OnlyFans so I can make some money and support myself in the future because who knows how long

00:20:04.920 I'm going to have this body. Like I kind of get both sides and it's like, it's just a sad state

00:20:09.020 of a fair for both of us. And I think if everyone just like, you know, just step up and be your best

00:20:14.920 version of yourself. And that doesn't mean that every woman has to be uber feminine, like who we

00:20:18.700 are. It doesn't mean that you can do whatever, like be the best version of yourself, but like

00:20:23.340 inspire people to be better. Yeah, no, definitely. I found this other article because it's called the

00:20:29.820 tension between biblical masculinity and toxic masculinity. And it's just an opinion piece from

00:20:34.420 Liberty University. And he goes on to say that biblical masculinity addresses more than just clothes.

00:20:42.620 It completely dismantles the toxic masculinity that the world understands today. Rather than

00:20:48.000 being tough, stern and rash, the biblical man should walk in love. He should be a prime example of

00:20:52.540 gentleness, patience and self-control. Jesus Christ is a perfect example of biblical masculinity. He was

00:20:58.080 resilient in the pursuit of God, gentle in spirit and humble in service. So I think like the real

00:21:02.420 solution and the fact that the world is a dumpster fire is because we've abandoned Christ. And I think

00:21:07.020 that we all men and women need to imitate Christ. Yes. And I actually literally know for a fact that

00:21:13.100 that will solve all the world's problems. It will. Absolutely. That's the whole. And like I've

00:21:17.500 mentioned, like I'm pretty new to the church. So like I'm learning about Jesus and God and we're all

00:21:22.400 learning. We're all learning. Exactly. I'm a little further behind, but I'm catching up. But I think for me,

00:21:28.540 a big part of what I learned was like, instead of worshiping Donald Trump or AOC or any people human

00:21:36.440 being, the reason that we worship God and Jesus is because they are literally perfect. So we always

00:21:42.380 have that foundation to the bar. Exactly. The bar is set and it's solid. It's it's carved in stone.

00:21:48.640 There's no like fudging it. So you can say like, oh, I really like I was super into Donald Trump at the

00:21:54.220 time. But it's like he's just a man. Yeah, he's a flawed man. And he'll disappoint. He will disappoint

00:21:59.040 you like a human being will. And that's OK. We can forgive. But like we don't need to idolize

00:22:03.580 human beings the way that we should idolize God. No, it's a great point. Thank you. I made it up.

00:22:10.060 She made it up. You guys smart and pretty and feminine. All right. Well, I think that's a good

00:22:16.320 place to end there. Move on to the next article. Let's move on. So this is written by a progressive.

00:22:22.580 Yeah, it is BuzzFeed. The article is title is misleading. It is because I was like, yeah,

00:22:28.460 girl. Like so the article title is how modern mainstream or mainstream femininity has failed

00:22:34.820 us. And I was like, yeah. Yeah. I thought this was going to be a really fruitful. Yes, I did.

00:22:39.780 Was not. It was not. My God. It literally it literally just blames white men. Yeah. For everything.

00:22:46.680 For everything. And then the solution is, guess what, you guys? Socialism. Yeah. Oh,

00:22:51.120 yeah. Capitalism is so bad. And that's why working really hard will never pay off because

00:22:56.160 you're basically the author says you'll always be clinging to a white cis male for success at the

00:23:01.060 at like the detriment of a brown woman. OK. That's what it said. Yeah. It's like, oh,

00:23:07.460 OK, that went in a different direction. There's some really funny quotes. There are a lot of funny

00:23:11.940 quotes. One thing I did kind of agree with, though, is how they did. Yeah, there's nuggets.

00:23:15.360 There's like there's nuggets. Yeah. They talked about how like politicians are like, oh,

00:23:18.820 help me vote. Just go get there and vote and give me money and I'll solve all your problems.

00:23:22.760 And I agreed with their take because it's just not true. Like politicians just never are able to

00:23:27.360 provide real examples of how like what we were talking about. Like you're going to put all your

00:23:32.180 faith in a politician and get disappointed when they fail you. Yeah. You should have just

00:23:35.500 looked to God like like they just say what they're going to do and they never do it. You guys like

00:23:40.120 they just want a paycheck. Yeah, of course. And just yeah, it's a cushy job. It's a cushy job.

00:23:44.420 Of course, it's important to stay politically engaged and of course, vote for your values. I do think

00:23:47.960 that matters. But like they it's not really going to like, no, it's not going to change

00:23:52.360 your life. This article is like, oh, my God, modern feminism or mainstream feminism has failed

00:23:57.000 us. You guys like I thought it was going to solve all our problems. It's like, well, you shouldn't

00:24:00.020 have. Yeah, that was on you. And it's just, again, speaks to the seculars and these people

00:24:03.660 don't know where to put their hope because they don't have that biblical foundation, you

00:24:08.180 know, because that's where your hope is found. Yeah. So I want to read a quote because

00:24:11.420 yes, it's a. Is it a doozer? Yeah, it's a doozy. So at first. OK, anyways, I'll just read

00:24:16.380 it and says, I believed in work and its ability to set me free. I believed in other boats,

00:24:22.020 other faceless, nameless women. I'd rise with my tide. So, OK, I'd like to just point out

00:24:27.300 that this person literally use a quote that is on the gates of Auschwitz. Work will set

00:24:33.320 you free. Like maybe a different like as an author, maybe avoid those words. Yeah, it's

00:24:38.240 not in that order. It's like I get what you're saying. Maybe not. Maybe there's a lot of other

00:24:42.960 things you could have written it. And anyways, also the second part of that, I believed in

00:24:48.680 other boats, other faceless, nameless women. I'd rise with my tide. That is so anti-woman.

00:24:54.420 It's literally the bigotry of low expectations. Yeah. Like you're you're you're the only one

00:25:00.140 who can. It's literally what we what white like white save your complex. Exactly. It's like

00:25:04.520 no one will ever be anything until I pave the way. It's up to me. I will break those glass

00:25:09.740 ceilings. These stupid bees won't ever make it. You're not that important, girl. You're not that

00:25:13.860 important. Yeah. And it's like I can. And this was the part of the story where she's like, this is

00:25:18.060 the good feminism. I was like, no, it's not. No, that's already you've already messed it up. Yeah,

00:25:22.760 that's it's very problematic. And she also talks about how like the U.S. can't possibly be a good

00:25:28.240 place for women and children. Because it's capitalist. Yeah, because like infants are starving and

00:25:33.280 inflation and stuff like that. It's like, well, who did you all vote for? And also go to any other

00:25:37.740 countries. Yeah. Like where else would you rat? Like where would you rather go? Yeah. Other

00:25:42.900 than like rich first world countries where you'll say democracy with democracy, which in capitalist

00:25:50.020 societies will which you will say are racist. Where would you rather live where people aren't

00:25:54.400 starving? Exactly. And like, you know, like if you vote AOC and you know your girl that you just love

00:26:00.100 so much, like she's going to make inflation worse. Like like these politicians, these blue politicians,

00:26:04.900 like look at Biden's America, man. It's like inflation is at an all time high gas prices.

00:26:09.440 The food shortages, the baby formula shortages, those are by design by the Democrats. Like it's

00:26:15.980 just like hilarious. Well, it's not the first time. And again, this is sort of a tinfoil hat theory,

00:26:20.360 but a populace that is starved can't really think about rising up and congregating because they're

00:26:27.280 weak and hungry. So they have to literally focus on, oh, my gosh, my baby is starving to death. I need to

00:26:30.940 find formula. They're not busy, like coming up with anti-government protests and whatnot and

00:26:36.040 criticizing the government because they're like, I just need to eat. So it's happened before.

00:26:40.620 It has. Hello, Mao. It'll happen again. Yeah. And it's just like these people obviously don't know

00:26:46.480 what capitalism is because like it's always afforded people more opportunities. That's why

00:26:50.760 people call it the American dream. That's why so many immigrants move there, because they get a shot

00:26:55.780 at life, like a good life that they can provide for their family and make something of themselves.

00:26:59.940 Like there are so many small business owners and small businesses in the United States and

00:27:04.060 they're killing it. Yeah. People come from countries where there are caste systems, where you're born

00:27:08.860 into a certain class and you literally can't get out of it. And you are what you are as when you were

00:27:14.100 born and they moved to America, literally like that just said for the American dream. And they work

00:27:17.820 their butts off and they send their kids to college and then their kids have better lives. And

00:27:20.920 that's your version of racism. Yeah. Sorry. Now that's anti-feminist. Yeah. And and for some

00:27:27.180 reason, this this author keeps bringing it back to its white cis males fault. Like, first of all,

00:27:32.300 what the heck does it have to do with whiteness or cisness or males? I don't understand. Men are

00:27:37.960 literally the ones that built the trains and built the bridges and made all this technology that we

00:27:42.200 utilize to put ourselves on the Internet. Like heller the constitution. Heller. Written by men. Yeah.

00:27:47.780 Sorry. Like like men are problematic in their own way. Of course. Of course. Of course. And so

00:27:51.920 we're women. Everyone sucks. Yeah. But like we need them. Yeah, we need everyone. We all need each

00:27:57.540 other. And I think like the biggest takeaway for me from this is just why can't these progressives

00:28:01.980 see that we all want the same thing at the end of the day? I don't want people to suffer. I don't

00:28:05.480 want people to starve. I don't like I wish we lived in a perfect world. But guess what? That'll be

00:28:09.680 heaven. Holler like I want women to be heard and have opportunities. It's just I think the means to get

00:28:14.600 there as a conservative are actually more fruitful for the world. Sometimes it's painful in the short

00:28:20.340 term where you have to make sacrifices, but your kids will have like the point is, is my children

00:28:25.300 want them to have a better life, more opportunity than I had. It doesn't mean give me stuff now so

00:28:30.640 that my life is more comfortable now because you're screwing over your kids and the next generation.

00:28:34.800 But a lot of these people, like we've mentioned before, don't want kids because they literally think

00:28:38.800 that the earth is on fire and that they're not going to have an inhabitable planet in 30 years. So I

00:28:43.240 understand where they're coming from. They're like, well, if the world is on fire and it's not going

00:28:46.720 to be here in 30 years, like I might as well get me some of that free bread, right? I guess so. But

00:28:51.360 you know, you got to stop thinking short term, y'all. Okay. It's troublesome. But you know, make sure

00:28:56.660 you're taking your vitamins. Yes. That's something you can do to help yourself. So we're just gonna

00:29:02.600 talk about some health stuff real quickly and then we'll round things out for y'all. So this article

00:29:08.200 is from Evie magazine. Uh, vitamin D is good for you. Here's why you shouldn't be afraid of the sun

00:29:12.860 this summer. So this is a controversial topic. Um, another one of the articles, I don't think we

00:29:18.020 should maybe bring it up because it's like meh, but it was, um, sun protection, what you need to

00:29:22.160 know. And it basically says I, one quote from that article is there is no safe dose of UV. Um,

00:29:28.360 so going back to the Evie article, there are so many that like valuable reasons to get a little bit

00:29:34.380 of the sun. Yeah. Obviously there are terrible consequences like skin cancer. And if you're in

00:29:39.140 the sun, when it's super high UV, you can burn yourself. Wear your sunscreen, wear your hats.

00:29:43.600 Absolutely. All of that. But, um, vitamin D, a lack of vitamin D can cause a myriad of diseases. I'll,

00:29:51.460 I'll list off a few right now. Inflammatory bowel disease. You don't want that bone loss. You need

00:29:56.760 bones. Okay. Chronic inflammation, depression, fatigue, uh, and there's others, but, um, this Swedish

00:30:02.500 study concluded that, uh, women who avoided the sun had greater mortality rates than the highest sun

00:30:08.220 exposure group. So like mortality is bad. Yeah. It's not ideal. No. And it's interesting. Yeah.

00:30:15.560 It's just interesting that like, there's this weird push though for people to avoid the sun. And I kind

00:30:19.900 of find that sus. Cause is it because the vitamin industry is so lucrative? I'm not against that

00:30:23.800 industry. I take vitamins. Yeah. I take vitamin D because you can't really get enough of it. Right.

00:30:28.040 Exactly. But it's like, why is there this push? Like, Oh, women hide from the sun. Like, it's like,

00:30:33.020 okay, yeah, I want to stay young and beautiful forever. Thank God. And I don't want skin cancer,

00:30:37.060 obviously, but like bone loss. Yeah. That's like, I think going outside is probably the best way

00:30:44.320 along with a healthy diet to get enough nutrients that you need. And, and one of the other articles

00:30:49.720 that we had talks about how, um, there's, we've talked about this before on the show, but like,

00:30:54.180 basically there's just, there's all of our food is like deficient of vitamins, um, which

00:31:00.100 is basically because of farming practices, actually, even if you eat a really, really well

00:31:04.740 balanced diet full of fruits and vegetables, you're not going to get as much vitamins as

00:31:10.340 you think you are because like that said, because of modern farming processes and high yield farming,

00:31:15.400 you're not, the, the soil is devoid of the nutrients that it used to have. So that's why

00:31:20.060 supplementation is pretty important. Plus, um, oh my gosh. Plus, uh, fluoride in our water.

00:31:28.460 No, Alex Jones. Yeah. Right. Uh, competes with the minerals that we do end up consuming through

00:31:34.160 fruits and vegetables. Um, we have high mercury in our foods, which can deplete zinc, which is super

00:31:39.640 important to help fend off viruses. Hello. Uh, high fructose corn syrup, which is in pretty much

00:31:45.940 everything, including baby formula. Oh, this, this one, I actually like unrelated to this episode.

00:31:52.320 I saw, um, the ingredients list for one of the most popular brands of baby formula and 40%

00:31:57.800 the main ingredient is corn syrup. Oh my gosh. Corn syrup. That's what you're feeding your baby.

00:32:02.220 I want to know the longterm effects that that has on your child. Obesity and bone loss. Right. Which

00:32:06.720 is also when you're obese, you can't absorb vitamin D as well because you need more of it and it's harder

00:32:11.660 for your body to retain it. And you're more likely to pick up viruses. Yay. I think though,

00:32:16.200 like the biggest thing for me from all of this is like, it's just kind of scary, uh, that we need

00:32:21.160 to buy supplements in order to get enough nutrients because supplements are a privilege. Like they're

00:32:27.080 expensive. I know you can buy cheaper ones, but also you don't know what's in them. Like that's

00:32:31.080 the thing. And there's fillers and all sorts. You don't know who's like, it's not like you can just

00:32:34.620 pick up an apple and eat it. And you're like, this is an apple. I'm getting some vitamin A or

00:32:37.820 whatever the heck is. Yeah. And you, you have no way of knowing how your body's actually absorbing

00:32:41.960 it because like, you know, I've recently learned that if you have a liquid form of your vitamin

00:32:46.960 or something along those lines, like a little thingy, you know, it, it, your body absorbs

00:32:51.460 it better than when you swallow a pill. So it's like, geez louise. And chewing, like people

00:32:56.640 argue that eating fruits and vegetables is better because you're, you're, the absorption starts

00:33:02.300 in your mouth. And that's true. Except if the orange you're eating has no vitamins in it

00:33:06.780 or very, very few, you'd have to eat so many just to get what you're getting out of this little pill.

00:33:10.680 But it's like, it is so unfortunate that we have to turn to like big business to get the nutrients

00:33:17.480 that we need. We should just be getting from our food. Yeah. It's just, I don't know. Just,

00:33:22.860 it's just, it's something to think about, I think. And I think there's a lot of research that needs

00:33:26.740 to be done into the vitamin industry specifically. Cause I, I find myself becoming more and more of a

00:33:31.960 skeptic of any, anything that's being sold to me at this point. I don't know. They're like, stay out

00:33:37.720 of the sun. Yeah. I remember during the peak COVID when everyone was locked in their homes and it's

00:33:42.480 like, shouldn't I go outside and get some fresh air and like maybe a little vitamin D? They're

00:33:45.860 like, no, you'll die. It's like, do you want me to die? Yeah. You want me to stay home and eat

00:33:50.140 canola oil, Uber eat, but you don't want me to go outside. And die from lack of sun. Yes. Like

00:33:55.040 color. And go crazy from lack of interaction with other human beings. Like it's, it's super

00:34:00.060 sus. It's all kind of sus. And that's, I guess maybe the point of just bringing this topic up

00:34:04.920 to y'all. Cause it just, I don't really know what. Do your own research. Yeah, of course. And listen

00:34:09.100 to your body. Yeah. If you're not feeling like you have neutral, like remember we talked about

00:34:13.600 Miley Cyrus and she. The veganism. Yeah. Yeah. Like she was a vegan for many years and she had a moral

00:34:19.040 reason to do it. She's an animal activist, which I totally get. Like, I don't want to eat farm

00:34:23.800 processed meat, even though I do like I, it sucks. And it morally, it morally weighs on me. But

00:34:31.860 if I'm not getting the nutrients I need from like a vegan diet, you'll die. You'll feel it. Yeah.

00:34:36.780 She said to her, she had brain fog and she was feeling like emotionally unstable and she was

00:34:40.180 bad for your mental health. Yeah. Exactly. So like you listen to your body. I know people who are

00:34:44.020 vegetarians who are thriving on a vegetarian diet because their body like literally is just
