00:00:00.000 Ask the following question, do we need men?
00:00:04.260 Most answered very quickly, no, because men are useless. 0.84
00:00:10.060 This headline from The Hill, it caught my eye.
00:00:12.960 Most young men are single, most young women are not.
00:00:15.980 Young men have fallen faster than any demographic in America over the last 40 years.
00:00:20.640 It's a different world now, like we don't need men the way that they used to.
00:00:23.700 Nobody needs men! 1.00
00:00:24.940 The future is female. 1.00
00:00:26.520 Men and women are drifting further apart, and society is crumbling because of it. 0.99
00:00:34.560 A fascinating debate has broken out about the value of marriage.
00:00:37.800 You've kind of got the trad con versus red pill thing.
00:00:40.480 This men's rights crowd that sometimes just goes too far the other way.
00:00:44.080 You need to stop acting like grown boys and infants and actually become men.
00:00:48.100 Marriage is a bond, and it's a sacred bond.
00:00:50.700 It's a machine designed to extract resources from you.
00:00:53.680 Now, many of the red-pilled have taken the position that it's bad for men to get married. 0.99
00:00:58.700 Hannah Pearl Davis, or just pearly things.
00:01:02.340 One of the most controversial faces in all of the internet.
00:01:05.980 She goes on to say that marriage is a terrible deal for men.
00:01:08.820 Because if me and you were in a business contract, you would never sign a contract where I am paid to leave.
00:01:14.060 Gee, what could go wrong there?
00:01:15.340 Seventy-four percent or something of divorces are initiated by women. 0.98
00:01:19.780 Men have everything to lose, primarily their own children. 0.81
00:01:22.640 Men get killed by the courts and by divorce laws. 0.73
00:01:25.320 I had no idea that courts of family law were courts of equity, not courts of law.
00:01:30.280 Because in family court, you don't need evidence to accuse someone of abuse.
00:01:33.480 You need no evidence.
00:01:34.580 When you guys say get married young, a lot of these men don't know what they're signing up for,
00:01:38.280 and you're not going to be there when their entire life falls apart.
00:01:41.180 I interviewed them on the other side.
00:01:44.260 I didn't meet my son until he was 15 months old.
00:01:46.720 How much did you spend trying to get him back?
00:01:48.760 The legal fees alone was about $200,000.
00:01:51.080 Before you know it, you're homeless.
00:01:52.520 You're literally just thrown out onto the street.
00:01:54.420 We absolutely reinforce bad behavior from women. 1.00
00:01:56.800 Wives are taught to leave their husbands, and then daughters grow up without their fathers.
00:02:01.080 Family is a foundation of society.
00:02:02.800 Every problem in society comes from single mother homes. 1.00
00:02:05.920 A lot of women will just chase this negative rabbit hole of happiness, endless happiness. 1.00
00:02:10.000 Feminism's biggest failure is it lies to women. 1.00
00:02:12.220 We tell women to date as many guys as possible.
00:02:14.040 We tell them to put off family into marriage. 0.99
00:02:15.860 You are allowed to leave your perfect husband.
00:02:18.560 You are allowed to end a relationship with a really great boyfriend.
00:02:23.000 Oh, freeze your eggs.
00:02:23.820 Have an abortion.
00:02:24.840 What?
00:02:25.260 You're evil.
00:02:26.080 I don't think there's anything else in life that we actually ever go into preparing to fail.
00:02:29.900 If you have the mentality of this is going to go wrong and be pessimistic,
00:02:33.980 naturally the outcome is going to be that it's going to fail anyway.
00:02:36.740 It's self-sabotage.
00:02:37.580 And that's the thing, like, women are so willing to leave marriages because they're not happy. 1.00
00:02:41.420 This is not about happiness.
00:02:43.220 The most important thing is the children.
00:02:45.500 And the problem is we have a modern society where it's me, me, me, my feelings,
00:02:50.000 leave when I feel like it, instead of doing what's best for the kids.
00:02:53.100 This myth that we live in an age of male privilege, where's my male privilege?
00:02:57.920 They think, well, men have all the rights. 0.95
00:02:59.440 They have all the power.
00:03:00.860 Privileged patriarchal system that we have.
00:03:03.100 Why doesn't our society care about men's rights? 0.99
00:03:05.700 I have no friends.
00:03:06.980 No white. 0.88
00:03:07.760 No social life.
00:03:08.940 Men are alone in this situation.
00:03:10.820 Men are homeless.
00:03:11.780 Men are thinking about eating guns.
00:03:13.140 I have seen so many men on the brink of suicide, and they didn't do anything wrong.
00:03:17.920 How are you equal if the men are the ones that have to fight and die to defend the country?
00:03:23.340 The men are the ones that build and maintain all the infrastructure.
00:03:27.180 Women are helplessly dependent upon men. 0.99
00:03:29.840 The so-called deaths of despair from suicide, overdose, to alcohol,
00:03:33.980 three times higher among men than among women.
00:03:36.980 Culture is telling men, you are no good.
00:03:38.820 You've got to get your act together.
00:03:40.000 I think men have failed themselves.
00:03:41.420 What kind of a man are you?
00:03:42.960 What kind of a woman are you going to attract? 1.00
00:03:44.920 If men are in trouble, so are women. 0.66
00:03:47.520 Everybody knows this is a huge problem, but nobody wants to admit it.
00:03:51.200 Every single woman at the table said they wanted a man to get... 1.00

00:03:55.500 200K.
00:03:55.940 Am I crazy?
00:03:56.660 Everything is really set up against you to fail as a man.
00:03:58.940 If men make less than women, women don't want to marry them. 1.00
00:04:02.480 So you know who wants more economically and emotionally viable men?
00:04:06.360 Women. 0.81
00:04:07.840 I don't want to be an independent woman anymore.
00:04:09.800 I don't want to be a strong, independent woman.
00:04:12.260 I'm over it.
00:04:13.400 When is it going to be my turn?
00:04:14.700 Where are we meeting the men that don't stop?
00:04:16.460 I can't keep having these same conversations.
00:04:19.220 The only simp here is you, Pearl.
00:04:20.500 You simp for men. 0.99
00:04:20.920 No, I think you simp for women. 1.00
00:04:22.540 She's a provocateur. 1.00
00:04:23.500 She says stupid stuff.
00:04:24.680 But Pearl is right about this.
00:04:25.940 It's already happening.
00:04:27.100 It's just not out in the open yet.
00:04:28.560 Now it's just hookup culture is going to be our fairy tale ending because men don't want 0.99
00:04:32.180 a wife and women can't find a husband. 1.00
00:04:34.000 The future, if everybody follows your path, is there is no future.
00:04:38.500 We go into the population decline and our economy goes into decline.
00:04:42.500 Civilization will crumble.
00:04:44.200 The American story does not end well.
00:04:46.740 This is an existential crisis failing young men.
00:04:49.680 What up, guys?
00:04:58.060 Welcome to another episode of Pearl Daily.
00:05:00.560 That is our trailer for the divorce documentary, which last show we got $400 worth of donations.
00:05:07.180 Woo! 0.99
00:05:07.800 We're trying to get to $100,000 and we're recently at $31,897.
00:05:15.020 As you guys know, video production is expensive.
00:05:18.080 So hit that donate button if you can.
00:05:21.400 And for $10,000, $20,000, I'll let you guys add in a personalized message to your ex-wife.
00:05:30.940 So if you have something you want to say to her, you can go on my divorce documentary.
00:05:36.140 All right.
00:05:36.720 So what are we talking about today?
00:05:40.060 Today we are reacting to Jeff James, and he is a licensed therapist, and he's basically cooking.
00:05:50.640 He's basically cooking these feminists. 1.00
00:05:53.440 Yeah.
00:05:54.020 Cooking, cooking, cooking, cooking.
00:05:55.520 All right.
00:05:58.620 So let me play this.
00:06:01.100 I think he said around the 17-minute mark.
00:06:05.400 Also, guys, we are back on the App Store.
00:06:08.220 So if you go to theaudacitynetwork.com, we are on the App Store.
00:06:12.680 And if you want to join our community, you go to pearlinvite.com, and you can apply to be part of our members-only community.
00:06:20.280 It's a one-time lifetime fee, and then you're in it for life.
00:06:24.260 So all right.
00:06:26.020 Let me do this.
00:06:28.040 Okay.
00:06:28.480 So if I'm going to say no, I'm going to say no.
00:06:35.020 If I'm going to disagree, I'm going to disagree.
00:06:37.760 And men not going through the natural maturation process as teenagers, as early adults, because they literally don't have the opportunity to with women.
00:06:47.600 We can't be shocked anymore that there's an environment that's festering of boys and young men who, unfortunately, have a strong distaste.
00:06:56.260 And I would argue, not even for women in general, women in the Western cultures and countries.
00:07:02.760 This is why they're running to the other countries and cultures where men are at least still seen as valuable, relevant, important.
00:07:11.400 No, I think I will break a point.
00:07:13.900 I mean, I, you know, I think that like anything in the West to redress any kind of any imbalance in anything, we've had to go to some crazy level to the other side and come to a middle thing.
00:07:30.240 And the only thing I have to say to my ex is, damn, you got fat. 0.99
00:07:34.400 Well, that'd be pretty funny.
00:07:36.200 Imagine, imagine.
00:07:37.420 So Steve, I'm in the chat.
00:07:38.980 Hello.
00:07:39.500 Let's say your name's Diane.
00:07:41.460 Hello, Diane.
00:07:42.360 I have a message from Steve M.
00:07:45.300 And he wants you to know that you look like a beluga whale now.
00:07:49.920 And he's glad he got out when he could because he got you when you were thin.
00:07:55.300 And good luck to the simp that puts up with that.
00:08:02.080 That would be pretty funny.
00:08:03.580 That'd be a pretty good.
00:08:05.920 I'll leave it.
00:08:06.640 I'll drop it to 5K.
00:08:08.040 Anyway, this show, this show, PayPal me, Hannah Pearl Davis at gmail.com.
00:08:13.460 Send me a PayPal this show.
00:08:15.360 It's in the divorce documentary.
00:08:17.840 It's in the, oh, I know you guys are thinking, Pearl, why do you charge so much money?
00:08:21.580 Look, guys, do you know what it costs to put a documentary?
00:08:25.020 Do you know what, do you know, like, do you know what this stuff costs?
00:08:28.520 I have to hire editors, producers, lighting people.
00:08:33.340 I know what you're thinking, Pearl, Pearl.
00:08:35.800 But you did, you, you, in England, you, you said you were working at Will.
00:08:40.460 We were.
00:08:41.600 I had one guy that messed it up.
00:08:43.560 I'm going to be honest.
00:08:44.280 I hired, I made one bad choice that wasted money.
00:08:47.220 You know, sometimes when you're putting some together, that was one.
00:08:51.600 Two, the second issue that we had was that I got demonetized.
00:09:00.580 So now we're raising money for it.
00:09:02.460 In a few months, you know, I might be able to put it together myself.
00:09:05.820 But, you know, I'm trying to, I'm not supposed to say that.
00:09:08.860 But, yeah, okay.
00:09:09.360 Why are we so surprised?
00:09:10.600 Why do we have to have shows like Adolescents that, quite frankly, are pretty late in the game in terms of its culture?
00:09:17.620 And like you said, I talk to quite a lot of my friends, you know, who are all parents.
00:09:24.220 And they had no idea what, I mean, I knew about it.
00:09:26.240 I'm doing this podcast and I see these comments all the time and I was very aware of it.
00:09:29.800 I've read a lot about it.
00:09:31.260 They had no idea, had no idea about it.
00:09:33.300 And I'm like, you have teenage children and young adult children.
00:09:37.340 How do you not know?
00:09:39.100 How are you that ill-informed?
00:09:42.340 I agree with you.
00:09:43.860 You know what's crazy?
00:09:45.420 Yeah.
00:09:45.600 I'm sorry.
00:09:46.060 I'm sorry to cut you off.
00:09:47.220 But you want to know what's crazy?
00:09:48.340 When you're in a marketing environment where both parents got to work long hours?
00:09:52.260 I started it too far ahead.
00:09:55.020 I thought you said 17 minutes.
00:09:57.720 Okay.
00:09:57.940 Where do you want me to start it, Doug?
00:09:59.240 MPA.
00:10:02.660 You said at the 17-minute mark, it got good.
00:10:05.040 Um, where am I going?
00:10:16.000 Um, all right.
00:10:19.120 I guess I'll do the two-minute mark.
00:10:21.120 Not seeing it.
00:10:22.340 In today's culture for men, which we do not... 0.80
00:10:26.000 Oh, get rid of the welcome.
00:10:26.920 So what was the reaction when you saw the show Adolescence, which is, like, based in self-consumer?
00:10:34.160 I understand why it's extremely appealing.
00:10:38.080 I understand why it's going viral.
00:10:40.760 I understand why I believe it's the third most-watched show on Netflix history after being out there for a short amount of time, which is crazy.
00:10:47.960 How big of a deal is it to be demonetized?
00:10:51.180 Mark, I had to fire everybody and move home.
00:10:55.320 I worked for free for a year and a half.
00:10:58.660 You know what that does mentally to a person?
00:11:02.600 If you've ever been unemployed, at least you have free time.
00:11:09.460 Anyways.
00:11:09.740 But it's wildly, wildly off in most ways in which they try to categorize what's actually going on.
00:11:22.840 I'm being honest with you.
00:11:24.740 And the problem with it is several things.
00:11:27.860 But the first is they clearly did not use an expert on incel culture.
00:11:32.740 Any expert, go on YouTube when you get the chance and type in incel experts review adolescence and see all the data they have in comparison to how the show tried to cover it to a degree.
00:11:52.940 And it was only four episodes, so there was only so much, of course, that they could do.
00:11:56.380 But I'm going to tell you one thing that I loved and I think they did get right.
00:12:00.840 And it was very subtle.
00:12:02.800 And I don't know if people actually picked it up enough.
00:12:06.360 The first is when the two detectives were walking through.
00:12:09.840 This is a rattlesnake raid?
00:12:11.820 Oh, tell Jake I said thank you.
00:12:15.900 And they're trying to engage with the students.
00:12:19.840 And it's very clear, like, they're just missing it.
00:12:22.620 Students aren't saying anything.
00:12:24.040 Nobody's really wanting to work with them.
00:12:25.800 Like, they're just getting all this resistance.
00:12:27.580 They're not really getting anywhere in terms of their investigation.
00:12:29.580 And the lead.
