00:00:00.000 and i interviewed i interviewed someone um yesterday or the day before um he he wrote
00:00:06.160 a book called the history of sex and i was surprised to learn that actually um the
00:00:12.240 women stopping having kids it's matching with what you're saying started in the 20s
00:00:16.640 because i always thought like the 60s was the beginning of like the everyone always thinks
00:00:20.560 that like the 60s he said that was more of like the accumulation of a lot of trends that were
00:00:25.680 already happening so he said in the 20s like before then women used to live with their parents
00:00:30.960 and then until they got married and they would get married younger but the 20s was when like that
00:00:36.240 was that was really the beginning of the end yes your family which kind of also lines up with like
00:00:42.560 they're not being waves of feminism right exactly that i would totally agree with him on that
00:00:48.960 and in the east so in like russia and the the communist bloc countries because the bolsheviks
00:00:54.560 in russia take over in 1917 and they're pushing feminism as well but they use a different
00:01:01.040 strategy in russia and the communist bloc countries in eastern europe to push it so from a communist
00:01:07.440 perspective they're saying look if you want to fight the bourgeoisie and empower the worker you've
00:01:13.120 got to get rid of traditional marriage and families because property and wealth are passed down through
00:01:20.800 the patriarchal limit um lineage so if nobody knows who their dad is then that takes away any incentive
00:01:28.320 to build cross-generational wealth to own property to work your way up you know from being a serf to
00:01:35.360 being somebody who has land and owns a business or things like that and this is so the people in power
00:01:41.200 can stay in power yes exactly so that they they can be the ones who are the landowners and control
00:01:47.200 everybody and you know they promise you security in return like oh we'll make sure all the workers
00:01:51.520 of the world are taken care of trust us but they were the first to the first to legalize in russia
00:01:58.240 and they had a horrible woman who was in charge she's she's the subject of book number two uh her name
00:02:04.240 was alexandra kolantai and she was kind of like the russian margaret singer but much worse
00:02:08.800 she made not only legal in russia in 1918 i believe 1919 uh not only legal but paid for free up until
00:02:18.960 the day of birth in every russian hospital so what happened is within the span of about 10 years
00:02:25.920 in russia they got to a point where they had three abortions for every one live birth and it was
00:02:33.120 decimating the population and they're heading into world war ii stalin takes power and he has
00:02:38.720 to make abortion illegal again because he said we're not we're going to get completely invaded
00:02:43.840 and taken over because we just had world war one in a famine and now we're not having any babies like
00:02:48.880 the birth rate had just dropped like a rock with just this free paid for and everywhere and then they
00:02:55.120 also took marriage out of the church uh because you know they got they basically decimated the orthodox
00:03:01.200 christian church in russia and turned uh they kind of had the first no-fault divorce they turned marriage
00:03:07.280 into a really flimsy legal contract that you could kind of have it or not have it you could break it
00:03:14.080 and nobody cared um they're they were kind of the first ones to institute no force wait and so i just
00:03:22.560 realized so another way to decimate the patriarchy is to give the kids to the woman yes because if the
00:03:29.280 woman gets the kids then there's no like you can't have a patriarchy when the women have all the children
00:03:34.800 right right and it takes away every motivation men have to get ahead in life you know the reason that
00:03:42.480 men accumulate resources is because they want to get a good wife they want to have a family they want to
00:03:47.920 have kids to pass everything down to if you rip that away from them they don't really have any motivation
00:03:54.160 to do anything for themselves they're then they're so then in russia it becomes you work for the state
00:04:00.560 everything you're working toward in life is for the state not for your spouse not for your kids not
00:04:05.280 for the future of your family not for your grandkids um so why would you want to own land why would you
00:04:12.000 want to have uh money saved up that you can pass down to your children if you don't even have any rights
00:04:17.440 to your own children you're not even sure if they're yours right so in the 20s they didn't have dna tests
00:04:23.600 and they thought this was a great thing um to to maybe not know who the dad was of all these kids
00:04:30.400 because the kids belong to the state now oh and and because they're pushing all the women into factory
00:04:36.320 working out of the home they had the first daycare system in russia as well called creches
00:04:42.000 where it was communal raising of children um and it was like the philosophy they had a whole family
00:04:50.400 law code that they rewrote where um the idea was that you should have babies but only to the extent
00:04:57.920 that you want to create new labors new laborers for the state and alexandra kolentai wrote that
00:05:04.480 women should stop seeing themselves as mothers and start seeing themselves as labor units who can
00:05:10.640 produce more labor units and oddly even though this is a communist idea this is another thesis antithesis
00:05:19.200 synthesis situation where you had capitalism in the west so you had liberal feminism based on
00:05:24.320 capitalism here which is women should have bank accounts women should own property women should
00:05:29.040 own companies and be ceos and be boss babes and then in russia you have women should devote themselves
00:05:35.280 not to their husband but to lenin this was like an actual slogan they had uh that lenin should be your
00:05:42.400 true love and then later stalin right so don't have a husband don't have a family devote yourself to the
00:05:48.800 russian state and wed yourself to lenin and have babies so that there's more soldiers and producers
00:05:55.440 for the state and now in modern times we're kind of seeing a blending of those because you have marxism
00:06:00.800 here in the west blended with capitalism so we tell women get educated go into a whole bunch of debt
00:06:07.520 early in your life build a career all through your fertile years and then later when you're 35 40
00:06:15.200 if you can find a man and get pregnant then you can think about that stuff so basically we tell them
00:06:20.800 to do it backwards that's what the guy um that wrote the the his name is david baker but he wrote the the
00:06:28.960 history of sex was saying too was that the biggest because i always thought that the biggest impact on
00:06:34.400 like women's birth rates was fertility but he was saying no that he thinks it's women going into the
00:06:39.200 workforce because i was like thinking about i'm like when i was 18 19 i i i certainly wasn't thinking
00:06:44.400 of having a family i was going to college and right and a couple generations ago that's what women at 18
00:06:51.440 or 19 were thinking they were thinking i want to get the best while i'm in my prime i want to get the
00:06:55.920 best husband i can for myself i want to start having children with him and build a family so that in my
00:07:02.000 golden years when i'm older i'll have people who care about me people who will take care of me i'll have
00:07:07.200 security going into my old age i'll have grandchildren great-grandchildren things like
00:07:12.080 that now we tell them no you have to start building your 401k and your investment portfolio in your
00:07:18.560 career during those years don't be worried about family we in fact we tell women that they are losers
00:07:25.040 that they are stupid that they are silly if they have like what happens when a girl gets pregnant at
00:07:31.040 18 everybody around her goes oh her life's over all right yeah just like oh she's gonna be a loser
00:07:39.040 now she's never gonna be anything this is something that i heard too because i had my first daughter
00:07:43.920 when i was 20 and i was always in like advanced classes and like smarty pants kids programs growing
00:07:50.640 up and things like that and i i didn't like school because i figured out early on that it was not for
00:07:55.520 smart people and that it wasn't about learning really so i didn't want to go to college by the
00:08:02.240 time i got college age and i had my first daughter at 20 and i was like shocked by how much i loved being
00:08:09.200 a mom i was shocked because i was a tomboy and i i was never like overly feminine really but i wasn't
00:08:16.240 a feminist i just wasn't thinking politically i guess but i loved being a mom were you were you a daddy's
00:08:22.400 girl yeah yeah i was like i was a really big tomboy too but i find it's like usually the oldest girls
00:08:29.680 in families and they're like close with their dads and like a boy yeah between two boys i was close with
00:08:36.240 my dad and yeah yeah yeah so when i when i had my daughter and i was like i remember going to drive
00:08:44.080 her to daycare she's like six weeks old and i'm supposed to go back to my crap job that i don't care about
00:08:50.000 and i'm driving to daycare going wait so i'm gonna take this tiny person who depends on me for
00:08:57.120 everything and i can't think of anything but her and i don't really want to do anything except take
00:09:01.360 care of her i'm gonna go drop her off with some other lady pay that lady half of what i'm gonna
00:09:06.720 make today at a job i don't care about so that she can do the job i want to be doing and i thought
00:09:12.160 this is the dumbest system ever who came up with this it seems really inefficient it's really painful
00:09:18.800 like the baby is crying i'm crying and all the women around me go you'll get used to it you'll
00:09:24.080 get used to it the baby will get used to it and you'll get used to it and i'm like but why what
00:09:28.560 like this seems really dumb why is it set up so that i have to go back to work in order to like
00:09:34.640 live and you know so that's when i really started questioning things but those things are done
00:09:40.240 intentionally now so the average first of all women uh get more degrees than men now which you probably
00:09:46.320 have heard a lot of these stats but more degrees are earned by women than men now the average woman
00:09:51.280 graduates from college with about 36 000 in debt uh she makes an average of 40k a year in the united
00:09:58.320 states so that's not very good for that much debt and then um so what what are you looking at when
00:10:04.960 you're in your mid-20s well i have to build my career so i have any hope of paying off this debt
00:10:10.000 which means i don't have time for like getting married and having kids and then to think about taking
00:10:14.880 time away from your career to have children well you're not going to be keeping up with your wages
00:10:20.480 you're not going to be um considered relevant or up to date in whatever field you're working in so
00:10:26.320 a lot of women just don't ever get there they just they're told that to be a good smart girl
00:10:32.720 and to be successful these are the steps you have to do and you'd better have a career and your own
00:10:37.440 money first that's like a prerequisite to having
