Pretty much what I was saying earlier, like if, if you're together and you've got a kid
00:00:03.840
and the relationship's not working out, then just co-inhabit.
00:00:07.300
You can live together and be roommates and live in the same house.
00:00:10.400
As long as the kids see the, the unit, you eat together at the dinner table, all that
00:00:16.440
No, but, no, no, but if, if it's an arrangement, like you both agreed to, like, it's not what-
00:00:21.760
No, but listen, it's not working between us, yeah?
00:00:27.240
Just, just let, just, just let the children see parents.
00:00:30.240
If, if it's not working out, we can come to an arrangement, we can say, look-
00:00:34.240
I mean, it's not, I'm not, we're not saying that, we're not saying that's the ideal situation,
00:00:37.240
but I'm just, I'm putting, like, if I was in that situation and I think, hmm, I know it's
00:00:42.500
better for my kids if the mom and the dad are in the home, and if for a couple of years
00:00:46.500
I just have to be in separate bedrooms and figure out how to deal with this guy I don't
00:00:50.040
like, like, I'm going to do it, I chose to make a kid with him.
00:00:53.420
If I didn't want to do that, I shouldn't have chosen to make a kid with him.
00:00:56.920
But the kids are at least of age to kind of understand.
00:00:59.920
When you start splitting up the home and the kids are, like, under 10, it confuses them.
00:01:04.920
The worst thing for children is to not have a mom and a dad in a house.
00:01:07.920
I agree with what, I forgot your name, what you're saying, Pierre, and what Pearl's saying.
00:01:13.920
And I feel like if you didn't want to have kids of that person, then you should have been
00:01:19.200
to think about the children because their childhood really shapes the way they are.
00:01:26.080
And I feel like you just need to firm some things and happiness, it comes and goes.
00:01:32.200
Would you rather your mom and dad were together but you watch your dad treat your mom like crap?
00:01:39.080
But, like, some people have suggested different ways of going about things rather than, like, someone running away.
00:01:46.080
But with the ideology of, like, cohabitation and, like, just living together and being unhappy
00:01:51.080
and, like, sleeping in separate beds and, like, just putting on a front for the whole family.
00:01:55.080
Like he said, the ideology of, like, kids, like, being, like, a sponge.
00:01:58.080
They absorb, like, what's going on around them.
00:02:04.080
That literally, as they grow up, that, like, tells them, like, oh, that, like, stops them from being intimate with partners later in life.
00:02:10.080
Because they don't see this intimacy between their parents, the two people that, like, learning from and living with and stuff.
00:02:15.080
And they're seeing, like, this unhappiness, like, whether it's a front or not.
00:02:18.080
Like, they are, like, seeing that your mom and your dad, like, aren't happy together.
00:02:21.080
So, how is this, like, how is that better for the kids?
00:02:26.080
They're, they're, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
00:02:29.080
They're in separate, they're in separate houses and then they get to meet their girlfriends and boyfriends over the years?
00:02:33.080
No, I don't think you should meet their other partners.
00:02:35.080
But I think you should be able to see your parents happy.
00:02:37.080
I think you should see your parents respecting their own boundaries.
00:02:40.080
And it teaches individualism rather than dependency.
00:02:45.080
But marriage and family isn't about individualism.
00:02:50.080
But you said yourself, you said that this is a post-marriage society.
00:02:53.080
So why should we be trying to backtrack on society?
00:03:03.080
I think it's regardless of whether it's for the better of society, it's better for the individual.
00:03:06.080
Like, all you should really care about is your self-worth and your self-happiness.
00:03:09.080
Well, I don't, I think marriage as an institution is dead.
00:03:14.080
But I, I think, um, yeah, legally as an institution, I think it's dead.
00:03:18.080
But how would you feel if you saw your, your daughter or your son in a relationship that they weren't happy in?
00:03:23.080
You wouldn't say to them, you have to stay with your kid.
00:03:25.080
I mean, I would, I would rather see, if I, if I had a daughter, let's say, that was with a guy I didn't like.
00:03:31.080
I probably would have warned her not to have a kid with him.
00:03:52.080
You lose so much value for yourself, though, when you're with someone that you know isn't good for you or you know it isn't.
00:03:56.080
I, I don't know what, like, you lose value for yourself.
00:03:58.080
Like, I don't really go with that, but I'm, I'm saying.
00:04:03.080
It's a, it's a punishment you chose poorly, but I'm, I'm a big, right.
00:04:07.080
But I'm saying, I'm saying, be accountable for what you chose.
00:04:16.080
And half the time women pick men they know would not be good fathers.
00:04:29.080
But like, so what if, and I suppose this also goes to the cohabiting thing, because I get it.
00:04:35.080
Like you're still trying to make it work, even though you're not sleeping together.
00:04:38.080
Like you're, there's a separation, but there's this idea that we're still here for you.
00:04:45.080
So, but what happens if you can see that, and I'm not trying to trap you up.
00:04:51.080
Like, if you can see this situation, you together, even cohabiting, cohabitating, you get along so poorly, even when trying, that you can see it's making the children unhappy.
00:05:03.080
At that point, then I would say, yeah, you got to separate.
00:05:16.080
I've seen family members literally live together for like five years.
00:05:20.080
And they weren't together, together, but they just lived in the same house.
00:05:26.080
And I thought, even as a child, like, why are they still together?
00:05:29.080
But it showed like, after a while, for me personally, it just showed strength.
00:05:35.080
And then after the situation and that period where they, whatever was going on between them, I think it lasted like five years, maybe even longer.
00:05:44.080
But they ended up coming back together afterwards.
00:05:46.080
And for me, actually witnessing that was a beautiful thing.
00:05:53.080
Something that's sort of related, but unrelated.
00:05:56.080
What about, I say, girls, women, however you want to describe them, the ones that get pregnant on purpose to keep the man?
00:06:07.080
So I've been waiting to try to get my voice heard here.
00:06:22.080
Purposely coming inside a girl to get her pregnant so that she'll stay with her.
00:06:47.080
I knew this was going to raise a lot of discussion.
00:06:58.080
And it doesn't matter what age you are, what background.
00:07:05.080
To perhaps even force a man into marriage for some years that may not even last.
00:07:10.080
And where you were talking about the parents staying together.
00:07:14.080
And if that's what happens, then man feels they've got no other choice but to, okay, I've got married this girl.
00:07:23.080
Because they're then forced into the situation.
00:07:27.080
But then they understand the responsibility of co-parenting.
00:07:32.080
You know, if the woman has done that and their father has tried and said, right, I'm going to marry you.
00:07:48.080
They're forced into living with each other for the sake of the children.
00:07:58.080
Where you said the children have to stay together.
00:08:05.080
There was one of the gyms that I used to go to.
00:08:28.080
And all I can say is, you know, there are exceptions.
00:08:40.080
But all that did is, you know, they end up breaking up.
00:08:44.080
Or just like, they just agreed that they couldn't make it work.
00:08:49.080
They just decided to raise his child, but like separately.
00:08:54.080
She forced him into situation to try and retain the relationship.
00:09:00.080
I think the main point here is like, taking accountability of your purposeful actions.
00:09:07.080
Like, what happened to the relationship after like, she like, basically baby trapped him?
00:09:15.080
Did they decide to like, force themselves to live together?
00:09:24.080
She forced the situation, which obviously he was not happy about.
00:09:29.080
But despite the situation, and then breaking up, he stepped up as one of the most responsible,
00:09:51.080
I want to make sure that my child has a reef over there.
00:09:53.080
And I want to make sure that my child has an education.
00:09:55.080
The other comfort bits, we may not all be so good at that.
00:09:58.080
But I'll say that in no such situation to speak until women who are thinking of doing
00:10:04.080
this right now, to trap a man, that is the best way to terminate your relationship.
00:10:17.080
Like helping a man is almost the most surest way to create an enemy of...
00:10:22.080
Like that guy hates, hates, hates her existence.
00:10:33.080
And it doesn't work because it's not sustainable because you haven't built that foundation.
00:10:37.080
And all of a sudden you're in a really high pressure situation where you're like,
00:10:47.080
I'm really conflicted on that because I don't really like rewarding bad behavior.
00:10:50.080
But at the same time, like I think it's about the kids first.
00:10:55.080
So a man in that situation is going to think, you know what?
00:11:12.080
I'm talking about this woman because I know people that have done this.
00:11:15.080
Where the woman on purpose will miss taking her pill.
00:11:20.080
And whatever else she's doing, she will make the situation so it actually happens.
00:11:33.080
The guy I know from the gym, I don't know what happened there.
00:11:39.080
You know, we kept going back, you know, on, off, on, off.
00:11:42.080
And in between, one of the times where he ended up dating someone else,
00:11:46.080
then we got back together, she actually did that.
00:11:49.080
She claimed she was taking her pill and there was all these sorts of things.
00:12:01.080
Yeah, she tried to trap him and she fell pregnant.
00:12:04.080
And he and I ended up getting back together again for the millionth time.
00:12:10.080
And then, sadly, which I would never wish on any man or any woman,
00:12:20.080
I can't say, I'm not going to go into medical things,
00:12:36.080
My lads say, oh God, I didn't know what I can say.
00:12:48.080
But I could say that what she was taking and her lifestyle and the alcohol and the things that she was doing
00:12:54.080
may have, this is may, but necessarily contributed to that.
00:13:02.080
I mean, there's a reason Drake puts hot sauce in his condoms.
00:13:09.080
Do you guys, do you think that a girl that lies to a man about being on the pill,
00:13:13.080
um, and gets pregnant should be pursued for fraud?
00:13:26.080
I told him I was taking birth control and I wasn't.
00:13:32.080
And if man stealths and pretends to wear a condom and he's not, that is S.A.
00:13:36.080
So if you pretend to take the condom, you're not, that's S.A.
00:13:41.080
It'll have his own name, but it's definitely...
00:13:53.080
I think we're just finding common ground because there's gray areas in the world,
00:13:57.080
But I do think that there's a lot of, um, things that in the relationship between
00:14:02.080
women and men where women are actually favored and they do then kind of get away
00:14:08.080
with taking, with not taking accountability for certain stuff.
00:14:11.080
So that is why I would then just say from the moment, go.
00:14:15.080
Pick somebody that will be a good father to your children and a good man to you.
00:14:32.080
Like, just like thinking out, like, uh, and it makes sense.
00:14:35.080
But is it like, would the fraud payments cancel out the...
00:14:47.080
Um, I would guess the only way you could prove it is a text.
00:15:15.080
I think it was Wendy Williams maybe, or maybe a different host.
00:15:27.080
Should she stop taking the pill and just get pregnant?
00:15:34.080
If you're that unsure that your wife's gonna do that.
00:15:41.080
But yeah, he either gets a vasectomy or he just starts wearing condoms.
00:15:46.080
I don't think most men expect their wife to do that.
00:16:17.080
Because I feel like a lot of this falls on the women.
00:16:20.080
Because, you know, if you don't want to take...
00:16:23.080
If you don't want to take pills, then what do you do?
00:16:27.080
Like, most guys would not go through the same equivalent.
00:16:31.080
So I feel like it's about balancing that in a way.
00:16:36.080
If you say you own the pill and you don't take the pill.
00:16:40.080
So, I think it's a bit foolish to rely on a pill.
00:16:44.080
And with the expectation that you will never have a child.
00:16:49.080
Should men have to kind of do something about contraception
00:16:54.080
Because it's all the responsibilities on the women.
00:17:10.080
Then have the guys you sleep with wear condoms.
00:17:16.080
Yeah, but why does it have to always fall on me?
00:17:22.080
But men could also just get a temporary vasectomy.
00:17:33.080
You think vasectomy is the same thing as birth control?
00:17:39.080
Me taking loads of forms of birth control, I could gain weight.
00:18:01.080
To anybody who asks me, put a padlock on your pants.
00:18:09.080
You could only just have sex with people you are okay having a child with.
00:18:15.080
But that temporary vasectomy option you said, I don't know about that one.
00:18:22.080
I have to ask myself to have a child and you can't just have a temporary vasectomy that doesn't make you feel any different.
00:18:29.080
Why do guys have the sexual liberation to fuck whoever they want?
00:18:34.080
Whereas a woman has to worry about the repercussions of having sex with whoever she wants.
00:18:40.080
She just wanted to go out and have sex and have fun.
00:18:42.080
And now she can deal with those consequences where the man can nut in her and then just fuck off somewhere else.
00:18:50.080
There are men that have committed suicide over the amount of child support that they pay.
00:18:54.080
They're financially incentivized in court to overestimate the cost that it takes to raise a child so that they can hook men on child support.
00:19:05.080
They actively, if they're having sex with her and you cummed in her, then you actively did that.
00:19:10.080
And she has to go the next morning and get the morning after pill.
00:19:13.080
Or if she's too late for that, she has to get the abortion.
00:19:26.080
So the woman gets to have the freedom to get the plan B or the abortion.
00:19:31.080
Like, if he got her pregnant and he doesn't believe in abortion, what choice does he have?
00:19:35.080
If she wants to put him on child support, what choice does he have?
00:19:38.080
If he doesn't believe in abortion, she has to live with those consequences.
00:19:46.080
Even the process of getting pregnant, I think, can be quite a strain in your psychology.
00:19:51.080
Well, you have abortion, but then you can get an abortion.
00:19:56.080
Because loads of people will say to you, you gave up a lie.
00:20:02.080
I was just saying that as a comeback to that celebrity thing.
00:20:06.080
Sorry, I was just saying that as a comeback to like, you were all saying like, just be celibate
00:20:10.080
But like, what if you do just want to like, go out and have sex with people?
00:20:12.080
Then you have to deal with the consequences of that.
00:20:15.080
But if you're going to do that, I would say get an IUD.
00:20:17.080
It seems like you're trying to argue with biology.
00:20:24.080
She's the one that has to give birth and stuff.
00:20:29.080
But why does contraceptive have to fall on her when all these contraceptive methods most likely,
00:20:34.080
like they cause like hormonal imbalances and they have side effects on her.
00:20:38.080
Whereas the man, most men are more likely to look for one, like one night stands and stuff.
00:20:42.080
And they can just go and fuck this girl and then he doesn't have to deal with any of it.
00:20:45.080
One out of three men are either virgins or having had sex in the past year, under 30.
00:20:49.080
So it's not, and women are having more sex than men.
00:20:53.080
And even male contraception that has been trialled has had side effects of female contraception.
00:20:57.080
No, so the issue, like a lot of times they say that, but that's not true.
00:21:07.080
Yeah, but also death is a side effect of some contraceptions.
00:21:10.080
They do say it does right inside, it could possibly lead to that.
00:21:13.080
Right, but I think it was like a sample of a thousand roughly, or maybe it was a thousand
00:21:19.080
If I'm, it's off the top of my head, but it wasn't a big sample size.
00:21:22.080
So if you're taking birth control and you knew it was one out of a thousand, you probably,
00:21:34.080
Every, every step of the way women have choice, men don't.
00:21:40.080
Wait, please let me, let me finish this and I'll explain.
00:21:42.080
So if we both want to have sex after the sex, men lose the choice because women have the
00:21:48.080
choice to be on birth control, actually before, even before women have the choice to be on
00:21:54.080
We have the choice to track when we're ovulating.
00:22:04.080
We have the choice to say, hey, if outside of SA, I don't have sex without condoms.
00:22:10.080
Then if I, if I get pregnant, you can get an abortion.
00:22:15.080
Him being on child support for 18 years, no choice.
00:22:37.080
Because I'm selective and I'm careful and I'm not out there like that.
00:22:41.080
I'm natural and I'm not going to put things in my body that are going to ruin me.
00:22:46.080
So I'm taking the responsibility for the situation I put myself in.
00:22:49.080
And I'm not doing the things that are going to put me at risk.
00:22:52.080
You just got to make better decisions for yourself.
00:22:54.080
And we need to stop talking about men and women.
00:23:01.080
Women that seem to be maybe a little bit more mentally stable.
00:23:10.080
I've heard great things about Brazil for the guys.
00:23:13.080
Well, actually let me not do that because I'll get cancelled.
00:23:24.080
And if it breaks and it's unlucky in it, then it falls onto the woman.
00:23:31.080
I hear stories and I'm like, y'all are wild then.
00:23:33.080
But the whole point is that we have more choice in it.
00:23:43.080
All you have to do is go to your doctor, go to your sexual health clinic.
00:23:46.080
Whether you are a woman or a man, you can go to your clinic and saying,
00:23:57.080
And they will give that to you whether you are a man or a woman.
00:24:00.080
So there's no excuses, even as a woman, if you don't want to take the pill
00:24:16.080
Certain women don't like having rubber downstairs and stuff, right?
00:24:24.080
But I feel like a lot of these decisions that we've been discussing
00:24:28.080
has just been a short-term interaction with a long-term consequence
00:24:32.080
that a lot of people don't want to take accountability for.
00:24:35.080
How about investing, if you're not comfortable with the idea of celibacy
00:24:39.080
or having sex to procreate, investing more time in educating yourself
00:24:43.080
in ways to naturally, I guess, reduce the possibility of having a child.
00:24:51.080
You know, as you were saying about cycles, for example.
00:24:56.080
Or, you know what I mean, retention, all these kind of things.
00:25:03.080
There are things that you can do before you have that interaction
00:25:09.080
I mean, I don't think there's enough of a conversation around
00:25:11.080
different exercises you can do to basically self-con...
00:25:16.080
Basically, natural contraception techniques or following the women's cycle, for example.
00:25:22.080
You can only get pregnant, like, three to five, roughly, days in a month.
00:25:27.080
And more often than not, I could be wrong, but...

Do correct me, women, but, like, my understanding is, from my experience,
00:25:35.080
When women have been more attracted to me, I've been when they've been more fertile.
00:25:41.080
So chances are, more of it falls on you, women, because you know when you're fertile.
00:25:47.080
So it's like, when you're having these fertile experiences,
00:25:49.080
you're increasing the likelihood of even having a child.
00:25:51.080
So why not just get accustomed to having sex when you're not fertile
00:25:56.080
and reducing that possibility, rather than just saying, you know...
00:26:05.080
Yeah, but it's like, it's like, you guys wanna do whatever you want
00:26:13.080
Men have all the responsibility without any of the freedom.
00:26:16.080
It's my fault if I get pregnant, if a man comes inside me,
00:26:28.080
So then don't have sex with people without a condom.
00:26:35.080
So most of the girls I've been with outside of my relationship,
00:26:42.080
So it's like this inequity you're talking about option.
