00:00:00.000 So it's frustrating because the trad cons, whenever we talk about this problem, we'll just say, oh,
00:00:06.040 you're just focusing on the bad women. But really, the trad cons are equally as feminist as the
00:00:11.800 non-trad cons. And I don't say this to be mean. I don't mean bad people. But what I mean is we
00:00:16.920 have lived a life in accordance to what feminist wants from us. It's me too. This is what society
00:00:23.180 has produced. So another lie that they have sold us women is that we have unlimited time to have
00:00:29.580 children and you can just freeze your eggs. So there is a woman that was on the cover of Business
00:00:37.240 Week. Freeze your eggs, freeze your career. A new fertility procedure gives women more choice than
00:00:45.160 ever to have it all. This is a lie that feminism has taught us, that we can, in fact, have it all.
00:00:51.680 We, yes, you can have a career, you can have children. Now, are there women that have had it all?
00:00:58.180 Sure. I mean, there's probably a couple women in history that have had a family and a crazy good
00:01:04.700 career. One that comes to my mind is like that Supreme Court justice. She had the two kids.
00:01:11.000 Do you know what I'm talking about? There's some lady. She's on the Supreme Court now,
00:01:14.000 had two kids. She's married. Okay. There are exceptions, but exceptions do not make the rule.
00:01:20.600 And the rule is that women cannot have it all. Now, what is the kicker? This woman that has been
00:01:25.260 telling women for decades, yes, you can have it all. You can have a family and a career. What's come
00:01:30.420 out? The cruel twist of fate for single women who froze her eggs in her 30s to free her career.
00:01:35.860 She says, she says, Bridget Adams caused the sensation four years ago when she appeared on the
00:01:42.140 cover of Bloomberg Business Week under the headline, freeze your eggs, freeze your career. She was single
00:01:47.540 and blonde. A Vassar graduate who spoke fluent Italian and working in the tech market for a number of
00:01:53.660 prestigious companies. Her story was one of empowerment, how a new fertility procedure
00:01:58.840 was giving women more choices as the magazine noted provocatively in the quest to have it all.
00:02:05.700 Adams remembers feeling a wonderful sense of freedom after she froze her eggs in her late 30s,
00:02:11.120 despite the $19,000 cost. Her plan was to work a few more years, find a great guy to marry and still
00:02:17.000 have a house full of her own children. But it didn't turn out the way she hoped.
00:02:21.740 In early 2017, with her 45th birthday looming and no signs of Mr. Right, she decided to start a family
00:02:32.160 on her own. She excitedly unfroze the 11 eggs she had stored and selected a sperm donor. Two eggs
00:02:40.260 failed to survive the thawing process. Three more failed to fertilize. The last six embryos,
00:02:46.300 of which five appeared to be abnormal, the last one was implanted in her uterus.
00:02:50.600 On the morning of March 7th, she got the devastating news that it too had failed.
00:02:55.420 Adams was not pregnant and her chance of carrying her child had just dropped to near zero. She
00:03:00.680 remembers screaming like a wild animal, throwing books, her laptops, and collapsing to the ground.
00:03:06.780 So this woman has been selling women the dream that you can have it all and have kids in your late
00:03:11.880 40s. And you know what I noticed too? She worked in tech. And what did they do in the tech industry?
00:03:18.160 It's all like a system. They basically give us this job, these jobs that make us feel like we're
00:03:23.900 doing more than we are and more important than we are. In all honesty, what do I do? I add commentary
00:03:28.620 to society. Now, I'm not saying this isn't important work and I don't like it, but at the end of the day,
00:03:34.360 it is not as important as the men building the buildings. It is not as important as the men
00:03:38.620 running the infrastructure of society. But women will get these high paying jobs that are really
00:03:45.420 subsidized by the men. They basically, in these industries, they have quotas and they have money
00:03:52.040 that is funded by these billionaires out there. What are these evil people that give them money
00:03:57.220 to increase their diversity score? And if they hire more women, they get a higher diversity score.
00:04:03.560 So what happens? The women get in these tech jobs. They're making way more than the men.
00:04:08.340 So now they're like, I don't want to date the men because they don't make enough.
00:04:12.000 Even though it's all fake. It's like a fake bubble. So they get these jobs. They think they make more
00:04:18.640 money than they do because the money they're making doesn't match the value added to society because
00:04:24.080 the top men are subsidizing their jobs. The men are doing the real work in these industries.
00:04:29.380 The women are just there to look pretty. Let's just call it what it is. And you see this because
00:04:34.300 you see all the women giving their what I do in a day at their tech jobs jobs. And it looks like
00:04:38.900 la la land. These women are making six figures. And you see on TikTok there, this is what I do in a
00:04:43.880 day. And who got laid off when the rubber hit the road and all of these tech companies were
00:04:48.460 unprofitable. The women were the ones that got laid off. We saw all these women crying on TikTok about
00:04:53.520 how they got laid off at their tech jobs because in all honesty, they haven't been held to the same
00:04:57.840 standards that men have been held it to. And they've just had these cushy jobs. And they have
00:05:03.840 not put in the same amount of work that men do. So then it eliminates all of their dating prospects
00:05:10.240 because they out earn everybody. It makes them think they're hotter than they are because they're
00:05:15.560 around all these high value guys that don't pick them. And then they're told that they can wait until
00:05:21.360 they're 45 to have children. And most IVF treatments fail over a certain age. I can't remember off the
00:05:30.040 top of my head what it is. But and on top of that, I'm hearing from some fertility doctors that a natural
00:05:35.600 way would be more effective. And we keep telling women, you can have it all, you can have it all.
00:05:40.700 But the truth of the matter is you can't have everything. And even the women that have it all on
00:05:44.900 paper, I guarantee in some way the kids suffered. Because you can't be in two places at once. You're
00:05:50.760 either raising the kids or you're not. And I just think it's sad that we have lied to women. And
00:05:58.320 women, we do make our own choices. We absolutely do. And at some point, we have to take accountability
00:06:04.440 for the fact that these are our own choices. But it's like as women, we're so silly. Like we just
00:06:09.740 believe silly things. Like why do you think we still believe in the pay gap? Why do you think we just
00:06:14.100 believe we're oppressed even though we live life on easy mode? Because if you give women a sad story,
00:06:19.540 you say here is a sad story of a woman being oppressed. We just believe it. And we have to
00:06:24.520 start calling this stuff out. Because we'll give a happy story like we'll give a happy story of a
00:06:31.260 woman getting pregnant at 45 and we just believe it. Like we hear all of these stories on social media
00:06:36.100 and we just believe them. We believe the happy stories of women coming out on top. We believe the sad
00:06:41.340 stories of women being oppressed. And at some point, we have to call out the men that are pandering to
00:06:47.620 us and the women that are pandering to us because it doesn't help us. And, you know, you kind of have
00:06:54.780 to make a choice. You can either sit back as a chick and notice it. And once you're red pill and you see it,
00:07:00.520 you can't unsee it. And you can speak out about it so other women can know or you can just sit silently.
