00:00:00.240
So as you guys know, I love having conversations, not only with people that have similar points of view,
00:00:06.640
but I also love to invite people on the show that have different points of view.
00:00:11.540
So I saw Miss Kenzie debating Andrew Wilson, and I was actually really impressed.
00:00:17.260
I thought, Andrew, he can cause a lot of people to crash out.
00:00:23.180
So he can really, you know, I'll say debating Andrew Wilson is not for the week.
00:00:33.580
He was not for the week, and I was actually impressed how she stayed calm, composed, cool, and collected.
00:00:40.200
So today we're invited her on the show to have a discussion about feminism and some of the topics we might disagree on.
00:00:48.060
I do ask the chat, guys, if you can, as long as the guests are respectful to us, we are respectful back.
00:00:57.840
So if you guys super chat, personal attention, you can debate, you can super chat, a difference in opinion,
00:01:05.740
but I'm not reading any super chats that are just outright mean, okay?
00:01:10.520
You guys do that to me sometimes, and I'm just not a fan of it.
00:01:13.340
So, you know, that's my two cents from the chat, but thank you guys for tuning in.
00:01:33.840
So first question before you, before we get into, like, some of the topics we wanted to go through today.
00:01:39.160
Um, how did you get into, how did you get into debating and how did you end up on whatever podcast?
00:01:47.760
Um, so in December of 2021, um, I was just kind of at home by myself.
00:01:53.940
I had recently been introduced to TikTok, uh, by a girlfriend of mine and I was just scrolling.
00:02:00.760
I normally skipped lives, uh, within my scroll, but I happened to just cross one.
00:02:05.840
And I think it was, um, Big John Steele was doing a religious debate and I joined that.
00:02:13.100
Um, and then that led to an abortion debate and then the abortion debate and kind of the abortion niche is where I really got my start in debating.
00:02:22.180
So what's your, um, what's your, is this your full-time job?
00:02:27.820
Because most people aren't able to, like, talk about these topics.
00:02:31.400
I said, I was just curious if you do something during the day or do you do this full-time?
00:02:41.960
I mean, it's more of, it's a hobby at this point, but, um, no, I, I try and keep that separate.
00:02:49.920
Do you, do you share or no, if you don't, it's okay?
00:02:55.940
So, uh, for this, uh, conversation we're going to have debate, I, I, I go by the rule, no
00:03:03.240
personal attacks, so we can attack the argument, but not each other.
00:03:10.580
Um, so since you're the guest, I will let you pick, uh, the topics we said we were going
00:03:22.720
So why don't we start with women being, you said abortion.
00:03:39.680
I, I guess just to kind of summarize, it would be, I don't think there should be any legal
00:03:48.800
I would follow the Colorado model where there's no laws legislating.
00:03:58.960
So you don't see any problem with them aborting like a fully formed, like they have a heart,
00:04:05.200
like the day before they're born, you're okay with aborting it?
00:04:09.800
So I would just define abortion as the deliberate termination of pregnancy.
00:04:13.980
So if it's the day before, I don't know, a scheduled C-section or whatever, we would
00:04:20.140
So you would just have them give birth instead of aborting the kid and then would they kill
00:04:29.000
Well, I don't think abortion is like intrinsically this idea that it's designed to unalive the
00:04:39.680
But even when it's fully formed, you would say, but sorry, I'm just, I'm trying to go
00:04:46.220
through what you said with it being, you guys make kind of make up all these words and it kind
00:04:56.680
Well, cause I would just say it's a kid the day before it's born.
00:05:03.900
So I, well, it's kind of like when you say it's a fetus instead of a baby, like I would
00:05:16.460
Again, that doesn't say what word I made up, but fetus is just a gestational time period
00:05:23.580
So a fetal is a fetus is eight weeks gestation to birth.
00:05:33.800
I think it's wrong, but I do think women have fought really hard for abortion and I give
00:05:42.440
I personally would say that we should make a deal with the pro-life people or the pro-choice
00:05:48.620
And I think we should meet you guys at like three to six months.
00:05:52.360
Would you be open to, if we could stop arguing about it, a deal at three to six months?
00:06:03.940
So I think it's really interesting when pro-lifers, is that how you would classify yourself?
00:06:14.240
So if you want to, if you want to say, should there be negotiation or middle ground with
00:06:21.000
No pro-lifer can really give me the landscape of what termination and pregnancy looks like
00:06:30.880
Canada doesn't have any restrictions on abortion and they have a lower abortion rate than the
00:06:41.500
I would say one abortion at nine months is too many.
00:06:55.020
I feel like you're just kind of doing an emotional appeal.
00:06:57.900
No, I would say it's, it grosses me out personally because you're ripping the limbs off one by
00:07:06.500
one, crushing the head and vacuuming the kid out.
00:07:16.380
There is, there is what we call a DNA that does create disarticulation.
00:07:23.720
But often when we look at abortion within, when we look at termination later in pregnancy,
00:07:30.340
it's often just induced labor and people give birth to stillborns.
00:07:33.860
Yeah, well, I would say that's still disgusting.
00:07:45.660
I mean, again, this, this really, to me, just doesn't move the conversation any further.
00:07:49.160
I think you're just using emotionally charged language without any kind of critique.
00:07:53.260
Well, you could say that, but this is a conversation.
00:08:09.240
So again, if you, do you want to reduce abortion?
00:08:17.160
If you've given up, why are we talking about this?
00:08:18.320
I think, I think, I think women want to kill their kids so bad that they just, they will
00:08:25.920
Even abort a kid, even abort a kid at nine months.
00:08:28.680
I don't think the focus, I don't think the focus is like a desire to kill children.
00:08:33.580
I think the focus is not to be forced to sustain pregnancy and to have control over family
00:08:40.700
I would say, I would agree with you that they don't want to be pregnant.
00:08:45.160
But I just think that you're kind of retarded if you get pregnant when you have IUDs, birth
00:08:55.940
Like, I mean, you know, your, your phone, it literally tracks when you're ovulating and
00:09:05.960
The rhythm, the rhythm method is the most ineffective way to, uh, what, what we would
00:09:19.060
So Colorado instituted, Colorado instituted the LARC program.
00:09:26.880
They can put a pill in your, it just, at this point, I just, it's like men invent everything
00:09:32.280
for us to not have kids and we still can't do it.
00:09:35.540
You can't get an abortion in the first three months.
00:09:37.240
Well, no, obviously there's capitalist barriers that are in the way.
00:09:39.780
If we look at Colorado, Colorado instituted the LARC program, which stands for long acting
00:09:44.840
reversible contraceptives, where they made IUDs free to people 16 to 20.
00:09:53.520
And the program actually paid for itself because people who would have been forced to sustain
00:09:57.800
pregnancy, um, no longer needed, uh, additional state services in order to care for those children.
00:10:05.360
So yes, if we want to reduce abortion, I'm for public funding of long acting reversible
00:10:12.960
But that's like, but then see, you go back to it.
00:10:15.880
This is why I think feminists want women, uh, really women are a protected class in society.
00:10:25.300
You can't pay for like, you can't pay for your own, your own, like why, why does the
00:10:33.780
Um, well, number one, it stays, it saves the state money in terms of welfare programs that
00:10:42.660
are needed in order to take care of children who are subjected to poverty.
00:10:46.520
And, and obviously a state is necessary within a system of capitalism.
00:10:54.860
We are talking about capitalism because you just said, why does the state have to pay for
00:11:00.160
It's because people don't have enough money to pay for birth control.
00:11:03.960
I'm saying on an individual level, I don't understand why people are subjected to poverty.
00:11:11.460
So therefore they can't afford birth control because of capitalism.
00:11:32.760
Don't, don't you like, do you support private insurance?
00:11:40.360
Well, I think you need to fundamentally, because this is also talking about like private insurance
00:11:45.600
is just a, a pooling of, um, premiums in order to pay other people's deductibles and costs.
00:11:53.420
Like it, you would have a fundamental opposing against that if you're for people paying for
00:11:58.880
I think that if you want to have casual sex, that's totally fine.
00:12:04.560
But I do think you should be responsible enough to pay for your own birth control.
00:12:09.480
Most abortions are, most abortions are from long-term committed relationships.
00:12:26.660
Because you're saying women who get pregnant and need abortions are sluts, right?
00:12:32.080
Um, no, I, I say they're irresponsible with the amount of birth control that there is today.
00:12:38.480
Right, but why highlight that people who get abortions are engaging in casual sex?
00:12:43.480
Uh, well, I would say a good percentage are, partially.
00:12:48.000
Uh, no, uh, 60%, closer to 70% are due to long-term committed relationships.
00:12:53.080
Well, then what's the other, what's the other 30%?
00:13:08.280
Is it the number of partners or the volume of sex that you're having?
00:13:16.620
We're, again, we're not talking about responsibility because you said it's from casual sex.
00:13:26.660
Once a month, I'm less likely to get pregnant than if I'm married and having sex with my
00:13:34.540
Um, either way, I would say you're being irresponsible.
00:13:41.380
Uh, making a choice you can't pay for and you expect other people to pay for.
00:13:47.340
Because that's part of being an adult is paying for your own decisions.
00:13:58.860
I mean, there's a, there's a, is this like a class thing then?
00:14:03.860
Like if you can't afford birth control, you just shouldn't be having sex.
00:14:07.480
So if you're in poverty and can't afford birth control, don't have sex.
00:14:10.600
Is, is like kids now something that only like rich and middle-class people should have?
00:14:17.140
Um, I do think that if that's a choice you're going to make, uh, you should be able to pay
00:14:22.760
Well, then I would feel like you would be pro-abortion if someone can pay for their abortion.
00:14:28.280
Isn't that the responsible thing to do rather than depending on the state?
00:14:31.100
Are you saying poor people are too dumb to take birth control?
00:14:35.640
No, I'm saying that they don't have the means to purchase that.
00:14:44.340
You need time in the event you might not have one.
00:14:51.320
Why do you think so little of poor people where they can't figure it out?
00:15:03.880
I would say that you actually think poorly of poor people.
00:15:11.440
So you're for free condoms, but not for free, the free pills or free IUDs.
00:15:21.380
Well, I think we should talk about oughts, right?
00:15:41.080
This is kind of the problem you get with women, is women do think in oughts, right?
00:15:46.920
That's why I said I give up on abortion, because this isn't Pearl's world where I wave my finger
00:15:54.180
I live in the real world where women can and do have abortion.
00:16:04.060
But when you talk to women, they think debating is really doing something.
00:16:09.400
You know, so I try to talk about what is, not what I wish would be.
00:16:14.340
This is all, like, this is the- this does nothing for the conversation.
00:16:17.380
I think when we're talking, like, do you think-
00:16:28.360
So you think we should live in a world where there is not oppression?
00:16:34.680
It depends what you mean by oppression, but that sounds-
00:16:37.740
You just said you didn't support it, so it sounds like you knew what I meant, and now that I'm asking you if that's an ought claim, now you want me to define it.
00:16:50.500
Pearl, I just asked you, do you support oppression, and you said no.
00:16:53.780
Yeah, because that's kind of a stupid question.
00:16:56.600
Well, if you don't support it, then to me, that says you have a concept and an understanding of what oppression is.
00:17:03.620
I even asked you what your definition of oppression was, and you said the dictionary definition.
00:17:07.280
So even if we go by that, you don't support oppression, so do you think we ought to live in a world where people are not oppressed?
00:17:16.440
I don't live in oughts, I live in is, which probably kind of is a good pivot to our next topic.
00:17:25.460
So, all right, let's talk about female oppression.
00:17:29.460
You, I'm assuming, think that women are oppressed.
00:17:33.380
Okay, so in what ways do you think women are oppressed?
00:17:38.520
I think women are oppressed by capitalism, women are oppressed by sexual violence, women are oppressed by race, by ableism.
00:17:50.120
I mean, really, if we talk about any kind of capitalist system, I think there is some form of oppression built into where women are disadvantaged.
00:17:58.080
Okay, so in what ways, day-to-day, are women oppressed by a capitalist system?
00:18:13.420
Women are, have barriers when it comes to certain employment and the earning of profit.
00:18:19.460
They have additional obligations that put them into labor that is non-paid.
00:18:25.760
Okay, so barriers, sorry, say that one more time, barriers when it comes to-
00:18:29.820
Barriers to wage labor and social obligations to unpaid labor.
00:18:38.740
I'm sure there is, but those are off the top of my head.
00:18:41.420
Why do you think women are more likely to be in poverty?
00:18:50.400
And because they have social obligations to unpaid labor.
00:19:06.580
Um, the social obligations or expectation when it comes to, uh, family care.
00:19:20.580
Okay, so, uh, you, you're saying that women are more likely to be in poverty because of the
00:19:26.880
wage gap and social expectations when it comes to family care.
00:19:31.500
Okay, so, I would disagree with you because the majority of,
00:19:35.600
uh, you know, I, I think it's actually ridiculous that women are anywhere close to paid the same
00:19:43.260
as men when men produce 80% of the world's stuff.
00:19:50.260
Uh, because you need people to keep society running.
00:19:54.960
Right, but you're talking about just people producing products rather than people offering
00:20:00.340
Women offer high, like, women are often in service positions.
00:20:03.900
Yeah, and I don't think they're as valuable as the positions that men do.
00:20:07.980
Like, we wouldn't even have houses if we didn't have male carpenters.
00:20:22.620
You can't have healthcare without the houses that women are in.
00:20:25.640
Um, I mean, you can't have people if they're dying from disease.
00:20:34.080
The other, the other thing is 63% of scholarships are given to women.
00:20:38.680
Um, so, so women are, women are really, I would say given a head up in life because they're
00:20:50.200
The majority of college graduates and college enrollments are women, so it would make sense
00:20:59.920
No, women typically need education in order to have access to higher labor or higher wage.
00:21:13.040
We own the majority of it, and we don't own the-
00:21:17.700
Like, that makes sense because we're going to college more.
00:21:20.320
And the difference, I know, but the difference is we don't go into STEM and we don't pay it
00:21:25.320
Men are two times as likely to pay back their student loan debt than women.
00:21:35.580
That's women getting all the benefits without the responsibility.
00:21:39.180
I don't think so at all because you would need to look at the causes why women are struggling
00:21:45.840
Could that be due to family planning, that they have kids and they're unable to work?
00:21:55.280
The birth rates declined massively in the last 20 years.
00:21:58.240
Just because it's declined doesn't mean that we're not having children.
00:22:00.420
And we're not having a lot of kids, and you have the choice to not-
00:22:09.180
You want everybody to pay for your poor choices.
00:22:14.300
If you want to get an abortion, you want other people to pay for it.
00:22:19.920
No, I don't think we should live in a capitalist system.
00:22:22.780
So if you want to go into a job market that pays less, you want to blame the patriarchy
00:22:35.120
It depends what STEM industry we're talking about.
00:22:37.720
I mean, the majority quit after five to ten years.
00:22:49.860
Well, I don't want to Google what your claims are, girl.
00:23:35.620
It's like she comes on my show and she wants to over-talk me.
00:23:39.560
I think feminists have no idea how insufferable they tend to be.
00:23:47.300
If you're going to have an attitude, I'll kick you.
00:23:50.560
So, I would say my bottom line, and I'll go into this, is that if women want to make
00:24:08.120
So, whether that's going into STEM or not going into STEM, you are responsible for your choice.
00:24:14.000
I don't like to blame these external factors for my choices.
00:24:18.500
Well, of course not, because you think everything exists in a vacuum.
00:24:26.560
So, it means that you think that something exists independently of certain systems or environments,
00:24:33.980
So, I think that you're responsible for the choices that you make.
00:24:45.860
Are you going to say, what do you mean by that?
00:24:48.060
Yeah, because you say things, Pearl, and I don't know what kind of concept you're conveying to me.
00:24:52.840
So, that's why I'm asking you to clarify your concept.
00:24:57.060
I just want to have an adult conversation here.
00:25:12.880
Do you think women should be responsible for the choices they make?
00:25:17.980
I just can't believe I'm talking to an adult right now.
00:25:27.560
I don't know why you set this standard of, let's be polite, let's be respectful.
00:25:31.560
I ask you to clarify your position, and you're like, oh, I just can't stand you.
00:25:38.860
So, what I mean is, if you make a choice, are you responsible for that choice?
00:25:54.420
If you make the choice to get an abortion, are you responsible for it?
00:26:03.640
If you make the choice to go into STEM, are you responsible for it?
00:26:10.600
You can change X value in all your sentences, and it's going to be the same.
00:26:15.020
So, if you make the choice, if you make the choice to get a bunch of debt, are you as
00:26:31.140
Or is it your fault that you signed up for the debt?
00:26:35.040
Is it your fault that you signed up for the debt?
00:26:40.940
Obviously, it was your choice to take out loans or credit cards.
00:26:50.920
Obviously, you agreed to the obligation of paying it back.
00:26:57.080
So, if you make the choice to get an abortion, are you responsible for it?
00:27:03.300
If you make the choice to get married, are you responsible for the choice?
00:27:36.220
Having an obligation to do something or having control over or care for someone as part of
00:27:46.640
So, you're asking me, if you get an abortion, do you have a duty?
00:28:00.960
Would you point to yourself as long as it wasn't great?
00:28:15.060
Did the men make the choice for you to bang to have sex or did you make the choice?
00:28:23.060
Did you make the choice to take an abortion pill?
00:28:31.220
So, how is it the men's fault if you had an abortion?
00:28:47.940
So, I would say that during conception, it's 50-50 as long as both parties consent.
00:28:55.460
Like, I can consent to sex, but not consent to him putting his sperm in my uterus.
00:29:00.600
If we're going to talk about obligations or duty to act, I would say it's men's duty...
00:29:06.000
...to maintain control of their biological material.
00:29:12.280
Who got the choice to wear a condom or not wear a condom?
00:29:23.060
...like, obviously, he still has the choice to, like, you know, choose in a sock, right?
00:29:27.080
Who made the choice to get an IUD or not get an IUD?
00:29:32.380
Well, I mean, again, is choice just dependent on desire, or is it also dependent...
00:29:43.060
I don't want to make this more complicated than it has to be.
00:29:46.080
Well, of course you don't, because you don't want to...
00:29:55.700
I did not come into this in bad faith, actually.
00:30:05.380
Okay, so whose choice was it to do the abortion...
00:30:15.760
Who got the choice to go to the doctor and say, stick this up, me, or don't?
00:30:39.980
Well, I think, again, you want to, like, consider this within a vacuum.
00:30:44.300
I think a lot of women want to prevent pregnancy.
00:30:47.220
So, if they have the means to get the IUD, yes, it's their choice.
00:30:52.780
If they don't, then obviously there's a barrier in their way.
00:31:11.860
So, whose choice is it to take the birth control pill?
00:31:21.720
I don't know why you think it would be just right.
00:31:25.760
So, whose choice is it to consent to sex with a condom or without a condom?
00:31:33.880
Who do you think statistically wants to not wear a condom?
00:31:39.440
Who do you think doesn't want to wear a condom?
00:31:45.200
I think more than likely men don't want to wear condoms.
00:31:55.660
Whose choice is it to take the plan B or not take the plan B?
00:32:02.980
Okay, so whose choice is it to have an abortion or not have an abortion?
00:32:10.460
Okay, so now that we're going through and the women had all these choices and the men, I mean, they had the condom and the pullout maybe.
00:32:20.460
But I would say those are equally irresponsible men, the women, and the having the sex.
00:32:28.640
Why do you think men are more responsible when women have way more choice in this?
00:32:33.020
Because, again, the singular action that it takes to conceive is that sperm needs to be in the uterus.
00:32:47.120
So, because they get to choose whether to jizz in you or not, really?
00:32:59.260
Okay, but you have the choice to put a barrier to that.
00:33:10.640
The barrier is equal because the only barrier is a condom.
00:33:16.280
You could say it's equal, but that doesn't mean it's true.
00:33:22.560
So, we're going to go into women being more likely to be in poverty.
00:33:25.760
I'm going to give my take and then we can go back to yours.
00:33:28.660
I think that women are more likely to be in poverty because they spend too much money.
00:33:34.800
I think women have a tendency to spend more than we earn.
00:33:38.620
Part of this, you could see, is by our going to school and picking majors that do not benefit us.
00:33:53.920
What does the 80% of consumer buyer decisions have to do with anything?
00:33:57.620
Well, buying is spending money, is it not, Kenzie?
00:34:01.320
It's spending money, but it doesn't mean that you're accruing debt.
00:34:04.640
Well, I would say if we look at student debt, women own them.
00:34:13.120
The only debt that women outpace men in is student loans.
00:34:14.980
Right, but the difference is men pay back their debt and women don't.
00:34:22.720
But debt is not a problem if you can pay it back.
00:34:26.660
I can get you the source in the comments after, but it's really going to slow down the,
00:34:37.340
If we go through this and I have to bring up every source, it's just we're not going
00:34:43.980
I can, well, well, well, you can, I'm going to keep muting you.
00:35:03.120
And I'm going into good, into this in good faith.
00:35:15.720
But if you want to stay on the show, if I go on to your show, it's totally fine.
00:35:24.220
But we're not going to do this back and forth every single time.
00:35:49.160
So really, I would say my main point is that women are not responsible.
00:35:56.200
And I would say it's because they spend more money than they have
00:36:05.520
And I would say that women, if women wanted to be responsible
00:36:09.480
and pay for their choices, we should go into STEM.
00:36:12.540
But no matter what, even if I have a point A, point B, point C
00:36:16.200
of why we are responsible for our choices, we just, I don't know what it is.
00:36:38.760
Do you think that teachers are one of the low-paying industries?
00:36:47.740
I think women have a tendency to complain about pay
00:36:53.940
when usually they're overpaid instead of underpaid.
00:37:01.060
there's a guy that dies on a fishing boat in Alaska every single week.
00:37:05.960
And you never hear them complain about their work conditions.
00:37:11.420
But the people you hear complain about their work conditions
00:37:14.340
are the women that get three months off in the summer.
00:37:19.300
So no, when you get three months off in the summer,
00:37:28.700
Off the top of my, I know it varies state by state.
00:37:40.900
So I just think it's disingenuous to say that teachers are underpaid
00:37:48.940
that's just something that we can easily agree upon.
00:37:58.060
So it depends, like, again, when you talk about the state,
00:38:34.840
So we're talking about industries that are underpaid.
00:38:37.840
And if you want to recognize that teachers are underpaid
00:39:09.220
And that's number one of the number one deaths in the United States.
00:39:14.900
Men don't really complain about work conditions.
00:39:17.360
Men have awful work conditions where they actually die
00:39:35.820
There's no teachers that are dying from teaching in general.
00:39:47.900
You don't get to go on someone else's show and over-talk them.
00:39:50.520
If you're not okay with that, you're welcome to bounce.
00:40:00.900
Okay, so I actually find it a little bit offensive.
00:40:05.140
Not that I'm actually offended, but I have thick skin.
00:40:10.580
But I think it's ironic that teachers complain about their pay
00:40:15.080
when they get off for three months of the year.
00:40:16.940
And there's a guy that dies from crab fishing on oil rigs, loggers.
00:40:22.940
And what feminists tend to do is you guys try to minimize it
00:40:32.960
And you're such a privileged class that you could say,
00:40:37.520
when you're sitting in an apartment or a house built by a man.
00:40:41.500
When a lot of times many men's lives are sacrificed
00:40:44.580
to keep you safe and having the amenities that you do.
00:40:59.760
I would just say that that's an outcome due to capitalism
00:41:01.920
because obviously it's going to cost an employer more money
00:41:09.220
we're obviously looking at poor working conditions,
00:41:11.480
which a lot of employers aren't going to care risking their employees' well-being
00:41:15.460
because they still need to produce product in order to gain profit.
00:41:22.860
My whole point with I don't think it's that many men that die a year
00:41:27.000
is that you made a contradiction and said it is.
00:41:31.160
It is many men who give their lives for capitalism.
00:41:35.660
Do you think sexual violence is an issue for men?
00:41:38.820
Okay, so now we're going to go to another thing.
00:41:48.980
What I'm talking about is it's something called gratitude.
00:41:54.760
Where if men are building the society that you get to live in.
00:42:05.420
The desk I'm sitting in, the wood was probably gathered by a man.
00:42:09.460
And there are men that die in order to keep you safe and protected.
00:42:24.720
You're constantly complaining about women's problems
00:42:36.700
I don't think it's about minimizing the oppressions
00:42:39.460
that men experience under capitalism because those are.
00:42:42.660
But when we look at patriarchy in tandem with capitalism,
00:42:50.280
Because patriarchy requires a dependency on men.
00:42:54.280
It's interesting that you highlight male contributions.
00:43:06.380
So I don't know why you act like men are responsible
00:43:23.440
we just have a tendency to not be very good at it.
00:43:52.000
you mentioned that it's because of gender roles.
00:44:33.620
sure I can agree there's a higher volume for women
00:46:57.460
I want to talk about whatever I want to talk about.
00:47:08.340
a couple jobs that I have listed for men versus women.
00:48:01.620
we can't even put the donut down to not be fat.
00:48:04.160
And we're saying that we can be aerospace engineers.
00:48:19.460
I just can't say that that's as important or needed as,
00:48:32.320
we wouldn't even have food if the truck drivers didn't bring it to us,
00:48:52.860
I would say that men's jobs are more important than women's because we could
00:49:03.300
We couldn't have a society without women's jobs.
00:49:06.940
But if women wanted to do 50% of the carpentry,
00:49:18.840
Women's participation in construction has gone up 22% in the last 10 years.
00:49:45.540
is they make you define every word to derail the conversation.
00:49:55.920
I just assume that you can understand basic English to some extent.
00:50:09.440
And then what the feminists come in and do is they define this,
00:50:57.400
but it's how I wish conversation would go because women,
00:51:00.620
we tend to be so insufferable to have conversations that we don't even under,
00:51:20.340
but please don't ask me any definitions because it's really just going to derail
00:52:03.200
So the reason that I ask you to define words is because you're using them
00:52:15.140
So what women do is they change the definitions of words to confuse you.
00:52:24.780
How can I change the definition if I haven't given one?
00:52:29.500
So can we stick to the male versus female jobs?
00:52:41.900
So we're going to go to the men versus women's jobs,
00:52:59.640
if men make 80% of the world's stuff and 70% of the food supply and women work
00:53:12.520
Because there's labor that they do that is benefit to society.
00:53:19.480
I think we need to recognize that under capitalism,
00:53:26.920
which is why I was trying to highlight that teachers are a necessary person for
00:53:38.820
I would agree with you if they were doing a good job,
00:53:43.080
I'm from Chicago and they're graduating in the city of Chicago and they can't
00:53:55.440
every time women don't meet a burden of performance.
00:54:02.540
if a kid is graduating high school and they can't read some,
00:54:17.420
Because if they don't have access to the appropriate resources,
00:54:22.480
Then we don't give them the tools to perform with excellence.
00:54:35.440
I wouldn't say it's the same thing because now we have teachers and
00:54:57.180
them being pushed through the system to graduate so that they can enter into
00:55:08.780
the majority of people in legislative government are men.
00:55:37.480
how can you have an opinion that women are failing within their predominant
00:56:02.980
Like if you're going to have these critiques that women underperform in their industry and
00:56:07.640
I would think you would be aware of all industries.
00:56:16.740
The world lets men know when they underperform.
00:56:33.360
but the world lets men know when they're underperforming.
00:56:56.800
I just want the same energy that you guys have for men,
00:57:05.900
you just blame it on gender rather than systems.
00:58:05.300
My private school was less than half of that in high school.
00:58:10.380
We performed better than the public schools that had double the funding.
00:58:53.440
I don't even know if what you're saying about your private school is true.
00:59:13.700
where they would increase it to say $25,000 a student.
00:59:24.560
I'm asking at what point is it the women's fault for failing at a job?
00:59:38.880
There has been a 50% rise in spending for education between 2018 and 2022.
00:59:48.440
we also went through a pandemic and experienced inflation.
00:59:52.200
Now it's the pandemic's fault that kids can't read.
01:00:23.680
But when women make a mistake or fail at their job,
01:00:32.840
What are the other topics you're going to go through?
01:00:42.980
Are you pro-marriage or anti-marriage or indifferent?
01:00:47.080
it depends how we're conceptualizing marriage here,
01:00:49.480
but I know you don't want to talk definitions or what concepts are,
01:01:01.620
are we talking about marriage as like a legal contract with the state?
01:01:07.160
Are we talking marriage as a theological commitment?
01:01:19.600
I think there is benefit to entering in a contract with marriage,
01:01:31.120
You can have access to your spouse's health care,
01:01:39.940
And then also you have more protections when it comes to the acquisition of
01:02:04.200
I think it should just be agreed based on what the parties can come up with.
01:02:16.400
I don't think they should be forced to have it.
01:02:27.360
my opinion is that while there are some benefits like the ones you listed,
01:02:32.380
I don't think those are necessarily bad things.
01:02:35.620
I would say that it is a bad deal for men because they're more than likely going to lose custody of their kids if there's a divorce.
01:02:45.760
And there's very few benefits that outweigh that risk of losing.
01:02:54.020
90% of child custody is decided outside of court.
01:02:58.460
if men are not having possession of their children,
01:03:06.580
But the challenge is a lot of men are advised not to fight for custody because they don't have the means.
01:03:11.900
and we talked about people that are living paycheck to paycheck or, you know,
01:03:18.320
they don't have 20K to spend fighting for custody.
01:03:35.020
And they also know that the majority of the time,
01:03:42.000
if they don't think their case is a sure thing,
01:03:51.340
it's not feminists that say 90% of child custody cases are decided outside of court.
01:04:01.800
the argument feminists said is that they don't want custody.
01:04:12.920
And if we can acknowledge that men have more access to capital than women do,
01:04:17.160
I would say that men are more advantaged when it comes to having a lawyer.
01:04:34.340
and then only four percent are decided in front of a judge.
01:04:37.580
And of the four percent that is decided in front of a judge,
01:04:47.920
what happens is you schedule a consult with the lawyers.
01:04:58.900
what happens in a lot of those meetings is that they are advised to not fight
01:05:18.760
he doesn't have $20,000 to fight in court when a lot of the times he may be
01:05:32.820
and he's going through a deeply like emotional time.
01:05:59.780
if you know your wife is going to fight you for custody of your kid,
01:06:13.160
most men don't want to take their life savings for a 50,
01:06:20.540
But you're just assuming that most women want to take custody from their
01:06:29.120
like it benefits women who are going to be single,
01:06:32.940
to share custody because then they have access to additional childcare.
01:06:38.040
but the issue is a lot of child support is based on how off,
01:06:44.400
So it gives her an incentive to fight for more custody,
01:06:50.840
Taking child support will pay you less than working a wage job.
01:06:57.720
that they could move the numbers to maybe go like that,
01:07:19.380
that would be my take is that generally speaking,
01:07:26.000
men are advised to not fight for custody because the odds just are not in
01:07:39.080
I understand you're probably going to try to minimize that in some way,
01:07:42.760
but the truth of the matter is the majority of the time,
01:07:46.080
if there's child support or alimony and custody,
01:07:56.200
I would just argue that child support is a way to keep women in
01:08:02.260
it's interesting to me that you minimize women's care for children and
01:08:12.300
he would be paying way more to the daycare center than he would to the
01:08:18.080
So that's why it's in men's benefits to just pay child support because
01:08:25.880
a majority of men play alimony because they have more access to capital and
01:08:36.480
But even a 10% chance is more than I would personally want to take.
01:08:49.140
I would just would not even want a 10% chance of being on alimony.
01:08:54.520
I would say alimony is a valid payment of essentially what you've invested in
01:09:02.200
the relationship in order to get access to alimony.
01:09:05.440
It has to be a long-term relationship unless it was decided within a prenup.
01:09:13.240
if a housewife stayed home for 15 years and took care of children.
01:09:22.420
her partner was able to climb the corporate ladder and get access to a high earning salary.
01:09:29.900
How is she not entitled to the benefits of her labor?
01:09:45.040
I would actually say thank you for allowing me to stay home.
01:09:49.040
to stay home and raise the kids and not be entitled to more.
01:09:56.520
I think that raising kids would be a privilege.
01:10:00.100
Most men would look at that as a privilege to be home and stay with their kids.
01:10:17.520
I think that you should be prepared to take the consequences of it.
01:10:23.800
And part of it is being out of the workforce for a little bit.
01:10:37.340
so now you've made contradictions within a lot of your statements.
01:10:45.860
and let's just say that there was a partnership in a business,
01:10:52.880
but they were doing all the administrative work within the business,
01:10:58.460
Don't you think then that they're both entitled to the profits of that
01:11:36.480
Does taking care of children have economic value?
01:11:57.800
men who are a wage earner and women who stay home,
01:12:59.860
Is that something you want to see within society?
01:13:03.180
I want women that want to have children to have children,
01:13:08.860
and women that don't want to have children to not.
01:13:12.620
So you think it is essential within society to have children,
01:13:16.900
The challenge now is we have an older welfare state,
01:13:21.060
so they don't really know how people are going to pay for these old people,
01:13:25.760
but I don't think that's young people's problem,
01:13:35.840
but I still on an individual level would say that women that want children,
01:13:50.580
so this is again the issue that I have when we don't talk about odds,
01:13:53.960
because if we're going to say like how society ought to be structured and
01:13:59.820
then we need to recognize that things are essential.
01:14:03.560
that it is essential that we have housing and bravo men for making housing,
01:14:08.600
but you don't recognize that it's essential that we provide care to people,
01:14:15.400
and that women shoulder the burden majority of these things.
01:14:19.660
You minimize that effect and label it as it should be a labor,
01:14:30.460
I would say that men are underpaid for their labor and women are overpaid.
01:14:40.580
it doesn't make any sense because you just add,
01:14:45.580
So the reason I think this is because men make 80% of the world's stuff,
01:14:54.640
while there is other stuff that is important in society,
01:14:58.160
that is the most important because none of the other industries would exist without them.
01:15:11.540
this is an is because men are currently making all of our stuff and our food supply.
01:15:23.520
than the jobs that we listed because society would fall apart without it.
01:15:33.800
I think you had one more statement I was going to respond to,
01:15:45.500
that's what you need in order to create conception,
01:16:26.040
the majority of neglect and child abuse is done by women.
01:16:30.600
single father homes have similar outcomes to two parent homes where single mother homes create criminals,
01:17:04.180
So the statistic you cited that single mothers are producing criminals is incorrect.
01:17:17.240
what percent of criminals come from single mother homes?
01:17:32.920
70% of juveniles come from single mother homes.
01:17:51.360
It was a source released in the nineties that talked about juvenile delinquents.
01:17:56.120
And I think it was something like actually 60%,
01:18:06.640
50 that came from single mother and single father.
01:18:33.960
this is why I feel that sources are necessary because you just talk out of
01:19:17.900
I was actually going to ask you this as a feminist.
01:19:20.340
What do you think about the lack of men's shelters in the United States,
01:19:36.900
because men do have access to shelters when it comes to being unhoused.
01:19:43.940
I think when we're talking about shelters that are gendered,
01:19:51.940
but DV shelters are specifically geared towards women,
01:19:55.300
because women are more likely to die in DV situations.
01:20:00.540
But would you be for equal 50-50 women having the men having domestic
01:20:08.660
I just don't think there's a need for men because if men experience
01:20:14.240
That's why women need domestic violence shelters.
01:20:16.700
but you don't think they still should have support?
01:20:29.000
an effect of capitalism because we manufacture scarcity when it comes to
01:21:02.760
I don't know what you want to talk about in terms of gender roles.
01:21:06.900
I think gender roles ultimately don't serve any utility and uphold patriarchy.
01:21:17.900
I ultimately think that typically gender roles do not serve utility and uphold patriarchy.
01:21:27.440
Can you tell me what that means in like layman's terms?
01:21:33.300
I don't think there's a function for gender roles.
01:21:36.060
And I think they uphold male supremacy and domination.
01:21:43.260
So if we're going to talk about labor within the households,
01:21:46.520
we can view like feminized labor is typically labor that is daily and requires more time investment.
01:21:52.780
Like doing the dishes, doing the laundry, grocery shopping, meal planning.
01:21:58.520
Those are constant tasks and require a lot of investment.
01:22:02.160
Where if we look at tasks that are more masculinized,
01:22:06.180
this is like repairs around the house, car repair, and lawn care, which is sporadic and seasonal.
01:22:11.780
So women have more obligation when it comes to the labor provided within the home.
01:22:20.160
I think that lawn care is harder than doing the dishes.
01:22:28.680
Well, I would say it's easier to do the dishwasher personally.
01:22:34.180
They've automated a lot of our stuff with Roombas.
01:22:36.980
Because I think it's kind of silly to say that it upholds patriarchy.
01:22:47.940
But yes, it puts women to providing more labor than men within the domestic households,
01:22:54.460
which is one of the benefits and reasons I think men want to get married
01:22:58.040
is because they have access to a domestic slave.
01:23:16.160
I don't know why I would think highly of my oppressor.
01:23:24.380
Did something happen to you, Pearl, where you're up their ass?
01:23:29.700
You just have such a vitriol towards men, and I don't really get it.
01:23:35.220
Would you say that it's valid for Jewish people to have vitriol to Nazis?
01:23:41.860
You think that men are the equivalent of Nazis?
01:23:47.320
I want to ask, do you think men are the equivalent of Nazis?
01:24:24.160
Well, Pearl, if you're going to say things, I don't know...
01:25:56.420
it's interesting you think men should get married when you compare them to hitler
01:26:26.940
would you like me to clarify sure go ahead uh would you say that um nazis were oppressors
01:26:38.520
all right i'm gonna yeah probably probably okay would you say that the jew that jewish people
01:26:49.240
were the oppressed probably okay so so that's the analogy that i'm making yeah is that men are the
01:26:57.300
oppressors and women are the oppressed what so if in one case it's okay for the oppressed for the
01:27:04.120
oppressed persons to have vitriol towards the people that are oppressing them why is it okay
01:27:10.200
in one context and not in another what more do you want men to do for you stop oppressing us okay so
01:27:17.580
how are they like just can we do day-to-day examples so if i wake up how am i oppressed by men
01:27:24.200
uh like this we went over this within the uh like intro to your show okay uh sexual violence
01:27:34.660
is gender-based violence towards women um you name any system under capitalism there are
01:27:40.580
disproportionate outcomes for women okay but whether that's the job market whether that is housing
01:27:45.560
whether that is health care okay is there anything stopping me from going to the police
01:27:50.040
if i if i get assaulted uh yeah okay your safety your safety number one and number two i'm sorry i
01:28:00.820
don't know why i went on what is what would what would stop it your your safety as well as the how am i
01:28:08.780
not wait wait no no i need to i need to break it down how am i not safe by going to the police and
01:28:15.360
reporting a crime because if they don't arrest your assailant your assailant can harm you again
01:28:20.940
because you've pissed them off even if they go like let's say it's a domestic violence situation
01:28:27.040
and let's say the police go and arrest him he makes bail he can go back to your house and now
01:28:33.120
you've just pissed him off okay let's say that they come to the house and they don't arrest him
01:28:39.100
okay now you've also pissed him off okay but they also could arrest him too if you have the evidence
01:28:45.020
right okay right but i also said he can be he could be processed and then he could be bailed out
01:28:51.960
and he would still have access to you what is stopping me from studying stem and going into stem
01:28:56.980
there's nothing stopping you from studying it if we're going to talk about women's upward mobility
01:29:03.200
and male-dominated industries i think that is the big issue is that women are not often promoted or
01:29:09.400
find any progression within their careers when they are male-dominated because men would rather hire men
01:29:14.680
right but why do you equate that to the hiring process and not the output of work
01:29:22.740
what do you mean when they're already hired like why they just don't experience any upward mobility
01:29:30.040
even if they are more competent and capable because men would rather hire other men
01:29:34.360
right but i'm saying why do you assume it's because they want to hire other men and not because men do a
01:29:40.480
better job i mean women work less hours on average so i mean if you do it depends on your familial
01:29:46.860
status okay but no typically men and women are working the same amount of paid hours especially if
01:29:54.500
they're both single non-average it's like 18 hours less a month no not on average yeah that's true
01:30:03.100
where are we going doug's putting the source in the chat
