00:04:28.400However, it depends on what prism we're looking at this high value question through.
00:04:31.940If we're looking at it through the brutal realities of the current modern dating marketplace,
00:04:36.620the reality is that Leo or whoever other ex-celebrity you want to put in his place is going to get his end away more than the average dude.
00:13:26.440Yeah, on top of the built-up resentment, it's the fact that, like, yeah, there is added stress.
00:13:30.400Even if you're not consciously keeping count, it does add up when you have to do more chores, more labor, more housekeeping, more everything.
00:13:36.860Right, but this goes back to our conversation.
00:13:38.980I want to mention about Africa because, according to you, African people don't have families.
00:13:44.760I'm just, obviously, that's not what you said, but I'm just being funny.
00:13:48.160But anyways, the point is, in the Western world, you guys have Roombas, you have washing machines, you have electric cookers, you have help.
00:13:57.080You have Uber Eats, you have everything.
00:13:58.260For some reason, the chores are so much that you guys can't work and do chores.
00:14:04.040Bro, if you come to Africa, on Sunday, my mom cooks for how many people?
00:16:23.900We didn't say perfect, but there is no, like, there should be no disagreement that two parents in the home is better.
00:16:30.880One hundred, I don't, I, no, there is disagreement.
00:16:33.540Because if you have a two-parental household, and you have one of the parents, like, for example, leading a whole lifestyle, that's not a healthy lifestyle.
00:16:42.620A whole lifestyle, like, let's say, like, either the mom or dad is constantly out, like, cheating, bringing those problems at home.
00:16:49.880That's not a good, like, I would say they're better off separate.
00:16:52.720If you have a relationship, wait, if you have a relationship where one of the parents is constantly hitting the other, that's not healthy either.
00:17:02.860It's interesting that, like, women, it's like, I can't go a single show without abuse being brought up.
00:17:07.000It's really funny because, like, it's the propaganda.
00:17:09.480They added this propaganda in the 1900s to make women think if they submit to men that basically you're just going to be abused.
00:17:16.160Also, what about the statistics of the literal fact that the majority of people who are struggling with things like mental health conditions, which, obviously, you were talking about earlier, majority of criminals, majority of problems that we have in our society, most of them grew up in a single-parent household.
00:17:37.580Okay, there's two things to take into account here.
00:17:40.120I wonder if you're taking into account, like, the financial level and income because, yeah, guess what?
00:17:45.480Even if you're a single-parent household, if you have, let's say, your mom has a lot of money or your dad has a lot of money, chances are you're going to be a lot better than a two-parent household.
00:18:14.340No, it's funny because that is the conclusion that most Western women come to because in the last hundred years, when women have gotten the opportunity to take money over a dad, that is what we do.
00:19:37.060But the point that I'm trying to make is that, hey, you know what?
00:19:40.120There are certain situations, whether it be abuse or just say hoeing around, it doesn't just have to be one.
00:19:45.560Where, yeah, if you have an unstable parent in the household, you know, threatening your child's livelihood, threatening the stability, yeah, you're better off away from them.
00:19:54.760But it's like, you know, it's so crazy because, again, you go back to abuse.
00:20:58.660And no one's saying that the people who go through these awful situations of things like abuse, drug addiction, all of that stuff, the things that can't be helped, that is awful.
00:21:07.620And no one is sitting here and saying, well, they should have just stayed.
00:24:04.580Now, naturally, we're called a parent, no matter how it gets between us, because we both understand that we're both needed in the kid's life.
00:24:14.620Now, the alternative would be, oh, I don't care because we're not getting on leave my kid's life.
00:24:18.760So what you're saying, I'm saying to you both parents, like the problem happens is that sometimes when both parents fall out, if they can't put the kids first, that's when it turns into a lot of what you're talking about.
00:24:29.300But parents that can say what Pearl's saying and say, you know, actually, it is about the child.
00:24:32.780And actually, I've got, like, for example, I've got a daughter.
00:25:21.520Because, like, if you think about it, like, for example, the cosmetic industry.
00:25:24.600I used to work in the cosmetic industry at a counter selling makeup.
00:25:28.240And, like, that is not a household expense.
00:25:30.260Yet women will come and spend hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of dollars on things that they don't need, potentially just because, yeah, for their own selfish reasons.
00:25:41.220And, like, going back to the fathers and particularly when it comes to the legal system, like Pearl was saying, men are disadvantaged in this society and especially in the legal system for partly the reason that you said.
00:25:54.600Where we're just viewing men as these, like, abusive, scary perpetrators that just hurt children and do all these bad things.
00:26:01.420And we're not saying, like Christine said, that it doesn't happen.
00:27:56.860My intention here is to show, like, hey, you know what?
00:27:59.280Like, I don't think that the vast majority of single mothers just, you know, divorce out of whim.
00:28:04.400I think there are structural issues that have to be addressed.
00:28:07.620I would say they divorce out of selfishness.
00:28:09.640And I would say that's the biggest thing.
00:28:12.140Because the thing is, if you talk to, like, grandmothers, great-grandmothers, because we really have, like, one, maybe two generations, in my opinion, of just shitty wives, bad wives, overall, just bad.
00:28:21.320And so—but if you talk to, like, the grandmothers, the great-grandmothers, divorce was never an option because they cared about the family more than themselves.
00:28:32.180But now we have a generation of wives that care about themselves more than the family and their personal happiness.
00:29:25.300We live—and I think this—we can argue this goes back to traditional gender roles.
00:29:28.940We live in a society where, hey, like, a lot of women are doing a lot of, you know, labor outside the house, inside the house, you know, taking down two roles that people—
00:29:38.840Do you think most modern chicks have recipes that they've learned from their grandma that have a cookbook of stuff that they know how to make?
00:29:56.820Okay, so we've just—so now, just based off of all the people in this room shaking their heads at these things, we're showing women don't really have those traditional skills.
00:30:07.700Okay, but why do women not have these traditional skills?
00:30:44.820The reason why single-father homes do better than single-mother homes is because men are generally better at instilling discipline in children than women.
00:30:52.700You can tell that it's evident because men in society, the way we interact with each other, we tend to build hierarchical structures.
00:31:00.500Women tend to build communal structures.
00:31:02.940Now, men who are used to understanding what authority is and understanding what rules are, women typically believe that everybody in the group is equal.
00:31:11.580No. Nah. So, by that alone, you can tell that when it comes to children, men always know how to set boundaries way better than women.
00:31:19.240So, obviously, men will always have way better results in raising children than women.
00:31:22.980And the reason, and I would say the reason that there are no fathers in the home is because women kick them out.
00:31:28.420Because, I mean, we just talk, you agree, you know that men are discriminated against in the legal system.
00:32:07.360And a lot of them, you know, I know men on the brink of suicide that have been fighting for two, three years that their kids are a mile from them and they don't see them.
00:32:16.180And so, a lot of men think, well, I don't want to go broke. I have no chance in this anyway.
00:32:49.380No, I'm sorry. Alimony is like less than 10%. If you look at the long-term outcomes, and you even agreed with this earlier, women tend to have like a worse outcome after divorce.
00:32:57.780Like, nobody wants money to single mothers.
00:32:59.800Okay, okay, okay. How could we tell who has worse outcomes?
00:33:05.800At least when we look at like, oh, you're going to be like back to money. But yeah, it is. They tend to do worse monetarily.
00:33:12.220They tend to do like worse, like in just like-
00:33:14.400Well, you do. You do go back to money. I mean, I would disagree. I would go to two things you could look at.
00:33:20.080Okay, number one, the children. Men want to be with their kids. Men love their children.
00:33:26.640I know so many men that want to be with their kids. So many times, we phrase it as a chore that the women get the kids.
00:33:33.560They get their kids. They get to see their kids. That is a good thing.
00:33:37.420The second thing I would look at is suicide rates.
00:33:40.560And you see an increase in men committing suicide after divorce.
00:33:45.040Oftentimes, because they have no money, they don't have their kids, oftentimes the woman's disparaged their reputation, and they just don't see a way out.
00:33:53.360Yeah, I think my biggest confusion is that earlier I asked you like, hey, would you be in favor of like parental leave?
00:34:01.000And the reason why I asked that question in specific is because I agree, hey, custody is awarded to the primary caregiver that most of the time is women.
00:34:08.740But if we allowed in our society to create spaces where men could take care of their children and not be punished-
00:34:16.640But then they would be higher primary caregivers.
00:34:18.840Because women will always ask for more and more and more.
00:34:21.940And this is just what I see is like, and in the same way, like you're from a two-parent loving home, and yet you still find a way to whine.
00:34:45.060And so, Pony, she didn't even- her solution to the problem wasn't even to say the law should be changed where men get 50-50 custody of the bat.
00:34:53.880Her solution to the problem was that men should do less work.
00:34:57.020No, my solution to the problem is that men should be able to spend more time with their children and not be punished.
00:35:59.460It's like now we need more parental leave.
00:36:02.340If I'm whining, then, like, we're in the same levels of whining, I guess, because I'm literally arguing right now that, hey, men should have more access to their children.
00:36:10.120No, you know, but, okay, I would say that women should stop leaving.
00:36:14.200I think that would be a better solution.
00:36:16.200I think we should stop paying women to leave.
00:36:32.700So how are, okay, if they're at a financial disadvantage, when they can kick their husband out of the house that he owns with one phone call?
00:36:40.600They can, they can, they can, they can, it's common.
00:36:53.160But this is, but this is the problem we get into is like these, these liberal people think they know everything and they read some studies and Google some stuff online.
00:37:02.200But the people that have actually spoken to the people and are actually like, I've spoken to a hundred guys who have said that.
00:37:07.740But this is what, this is the issue that we were coming into earlier when you were like making, you were talking about Africa and the guys from Africa are like, no, this is what it's like.
00:37:18.280It's like, I genuinely think we can come to the best conclusions by what we see in front of us, what is in reality, and even just the reputations that things have.
00:37:26.500Why do we have phrases like it's cheaper to keep her?
00:37:29.420If, if men are doing so much better after divorce, why is that a phrase?
00:37:34.300I think when you say anecdotal evidence is enough, to me, that's crazy because I could have a completely different life anecdotal experience than you.
00:38:22.460To me, that's radically different than like, oh, just getting the sample data size from this room because there's something called selection bias.
00:38:29.460And that's, that, that, that's, that's a problem that happens in general.
00:38:57.020Well over 700 guests, street interviews.
00:38:59.540Like we aren't as different as people think like that.
00:39:02.640That's the biggest conclusion that I've come to men and women just kind of have general things that are true about them.
00:39:07.920And when it comes to like the legal system, I think it's really silly if you, if you have any other conclusion other than men have a harder time in it.
00:39:16.680Oh, I think, um, what I'm trying to say or what I've said before is that I don't think it's enough to just go by anecdotal experience.
00:39:24.000I think, um, so what's your definitive statement?
00:39:26.640Like what I, cause you just kind of, I think men, what is it?
00:39:30.100I think, do you, do you think men in general are good fathers?
00:39:42.600Because I think the whole idea of like the primary caregiver is the fact that like, okay, um, this man is still outside providing, they might not necessarily have like the time or like resources once they divorce to be able to like take care of their children properly.
00:39:57.760So it should be, it should be what's best for the kid, right?
00:40:27.300And you know, I may, I can like talk about it later as well once I read it.
00:40:30.880But then second of all, again, a lot of these men already have, if they're going to fight in the court system, a financial advantage, which gives them like the opportunity to raise their children.
00:40:39.600I think maybe it's possible that it could be because of discipline, but again, you would literally have to go into that.
00:40:45.500How do they have a financial advantage when before they can get, before they even get to the court date?
00:40:49.720So COVID pushed a lot of these trials out like a year, two years before the men could even get to court to fight for their kids.
00:40:57.040And they're, and I'll tell you what happens.
00:40:59.200A lot of times they're paying for a mortgage that they've been kicked out of.
00:41:02.460A lot of these guys are living out of their cars.
