Summary
In this episode, I sit down with anti-feminist, feminist, anti-oppression advocate, and all-around great human being, Amy Poehler. Amy is the host of the hit YouTube show, "Amy Poehler's Anti-Feminist Reactions" and is one of the most influential voices in the anti-feminist movement. We talk about how she got started in her career, why she started the show, and why she thinks women should be allowed to be who they want to be.

Well, I appreciate you coming on, and I think this is more of a laid-back conversation,
00:00:05.880
but two like-minded individuals, but I admire your work. You're very successful.
00:00:10.260
You're originally from Chicago, ended up in London, volleyball, semi-pro, basketball too?
00:00:16.780
So you're a woman of many talents, got a degree?
00:00:19.640
Well, I'm kind of on. I dropped out. Well, I got an undergraduate degree,
00:00:26.280
but I was in school for my master's overseas in England, and I kept failing my classes.
00:00:33.160
Well, I didn't want to be a PhD. It was part of the volleyball program, so I was like, fine, I'll do it.
00:00:40.220
I just picked what I thought would be the easiest degree, but then I got so busy with the YouTube stuff took off,
00:00:48.400
I just kept failing my classes, unfortunately, because I didn't turn things in.
00:00:52.540
Oh, my gosh. Hey, real quick, is the chat up, Trey?
00:00:57.500
Okay, I don't see it on my end, but that's okay. I'm not logged in.
00:01:00.440
So if you see a super chat that comes on and it's something significant, go ahead.
00:01:04.300
Okay, good. So why did you stay in London? That's my question.
00:01:12.640
So the show, I didn't expect it to take off as fast as it did.
00:01:18.180
But why did you start a show? Who inspired you to do what you're doing?
00:01:22.200
Okay. Who inspired me? I would say I was a big fan of Kevin Samuels.
00:01:27.560
And I thought he was really helpful, like the stuff he was saying.
00:01:31.220
So a lot of the first early shows was me saying, oh, my gosh, this is the concept we're going to talk about.
00:01:37.400
They're saying we don't like nice guys, we like bad boys. What do you guys think?
00:01:40.660
And I was kind of bringing my friends together and saying, what do you guys think of this stuff?
00:01:51.760
Like the first one, I think she called men like pedophiles for liking younger women.
00:01:58.620
What is that? Is that a defense mechanism or is that just a, I'm going to push your buttons, I'm irritated at you?
00:02:05.280
I think it's just a shaming tactic that feminists need to compete.
00:02:11.960
But so some, but what actually took, what took off my channel wasn't even the, it wasn't even the show.
00:02:20.860
Because what I would do is there would be girls that I would explain a concept to.
00:02:24.580
And they would start to have the wheels like turn.
00:02:27.300
They'd be like, when I would say, oh, the pay gap isn't real.
00:02:32.620
And I would take the girls after the show and say, hey, watch this video with me.
00:02:36.760
And actually a lot of girls like came back and said their entire perspective on things changed because they did the reactions.
00:02:42.480
Like, like these would be like three, like sometimes four hour reactions.
00:02:53.680
He's actually, that's my dream person that I want to interview.
00:02:57.400
I don't want to skip, but since you're there, if you could have anybody on your podcast that's alive, who would it be?
00:03:03.200
Mostly because the other ones I think I'll get, but he's a bit older.
00:03:10.480
Like, I think I'm going to get Jordan Peterson at some point.
00:03:15.260
I think a lot of the people that I would have wanted to.
00:03:17.580
Do you think you'll ever be invited to like a Joe Rogan show?
00:03:25.620
I think for the documentaries I'm doing, I will.
00:03:33.280
I mean, I think the Daily Wire, you know, Ben Shapiro, Matt Walsh.
00:03:37.580
Because you're, you know, you are obviously, you're a woman and you're an anti-feminist.
00:03:44.740
So you see it from the guy's perspective, and I don't want to say you're the Andrew Tate
00:03:49.340
of a woman version, but that's what, that's what you're describing as.
00:03:53.620
So, so, you know, when, when people see you, cause I, it's funny because there's a podcaster,
00:03:57.940
I won't say her name, but she's, she, she's like, oh, I, she saw you.
00:04:03.760
And she said, she, she said, I'm not a feminist.
00:04:06.640
I did a debate with her and she saw one of your things and she cannot get past and understand
00:04:15.580
So maybe you can talk about the value of why you think the way you do.
00:04:23.980
Well, you said she thought she wasn't a feminist.
00:04:25.840
So what, she was like one of the conservative feminists.
00:04:27.980
No, she just, she says she's not a feminist, but she doesn't know what she is.
00:04:32.000
So my point is, is that I think women that are, I call it, they're in the
00:04:37.680
We call it in the matrix and they're running around in this bubble and they think that
00:04:42.060
it's okay for their behavior and what they do is right.
00:04:45.800
And that they don't want to lose their identity being with a man.
00:04:49.020
This is the number one response I'm getting in the new trend.
00:04:57.780
Like, I'm sorry, everyone around you influences you.
00:05:02.120
Do you lose yourself when you become friends with a girl?
00:05:06.260
Do you lose yourself with your parents when you spend time with them?
00:05:11.020
I think what it is, is these younger women identify themselves by their Instagram.
00:05:19.840
And I call it the fan, female attention necessity disorder.
00:05:25.940
And without social media, they lose their mind because of all the attention.
00:05:29.780
The abundance of attention versus the high value man has abundance and can pick and choose
00:05:35.840
And so my terminology with fan is that if you take their, I lost my identity, I couldn't
00:05:42.680
have my Instagram, and I'd never give my Instagram up for a man.
00:05:47.840
You're choosing that as your identity over a relationship with a man.
00:05:53.440
So I think this whole self-proclaimed, I lost my identity.
00:06:00.440
Now, you talk with a lot of women on your show.
00:06:10.400
Can you talk a little bit about why you think they're doing that?
00:06:14.840
I mean, I think that most people in our generation have never seen a truly traditional relationship.
00:06:19.780
Because even if their parents are married, I think most women run the show in marriages
00:06:27.320
Because I think the way that the laws are set up, the women have to run the show.
00:06:34.880
And you can easily, and if you walk away from the deal, you lose everything.
00:06:40.220
You're always going to be trying to make me happy.
00:06:44.720
And so I think that like most, even married couples today, I think the women runs the
00:06:49.500
I think most people have never seen a truly traditional relationship.
00:06:52.920
And I think most people have never seen a woman like support a man.
00:06:56.900
So my question then would be, when women say it's not about money, but then I say, well,
00:07:05.700
Is it for leverage and money or both or either one?
00:07:08.760
So going back to what we were just talking about, why do you think women want to be married
00:07:14.260
Is it to have leverage and control and have access to the money?
00:07:18.380
Or because if you propose what I'm about, I'm about relationships.
00:07:40.080
But my point is we're in a long-term relationship.
00:07:44.780
Is it because they don't have leverage or is it because they don't have access to the
00:07:50.980
I think women want status when they get married.
00:07:53.240
So they want the status of being a wife and they want a wedding day.
00:07:57.500
If you ask a girl a question about her wedding, she has a million responses.
00:08:03.220
If you ask her, like, I mean, how many people, where do you want to get married, all this
00:08:08.040
But they never answer any questions about, like, what the marriage would actually look like.
00:08:14.680
No, because, again, I think that most people have never seen it.
00:08:18.660
I think most people, they either had parents that hated each other.
