In this episode, we talk about feminism and how it affects us and our mental health. We talk about what it means to be a feminist and why we should all be fighting for women to have the same rights as men.
00:00:00.000I think it's really mean that feminists push women into these fields and say, you can do anything a man can do.
00:00:06.000Do you know what? I think that's something that always confused me about me being a feminist, because I feel like I've always like my mom was a housewife and my dad like has his business and work so that she could look after it.
00:00:14.840She had a career before, but then she gave that up to look after me and my brother, which I am so grateful for that.
00:00:19.900I had, you know, my mom around all the time. That was amazing. And I've always wanted to do that.
00:00:23.740You know, when I have children, I would want to be a housewife. I love to cook and clean.
00:00:27.380Like, I feel like I don't think I'm a traditional woman at all, but I feel like in some kind of sense, I can hear it in your voice on the show.
00:00:36.180Yeah, I can hear traditional views about marriage and things like that.
00:00:39.720Is it just me, Kiga? Like, I can almost hear when women have fathers in their voices.
00:00:45.260Not as much as just by the way you guys like talk.
00:00:49.300But but I think what feminists will do is say, hey, young girls that are impressionable.
00:00:55.100Right. Because, you know, you can be convinced of anything.
00:00:57.680Yeah. Oh, definitely. So so you tell them, hey, you can do anything a guy can do.
00:01:02.280Go be an engineer. Here's a grant. We're really pushing women.
00:01:05.780And then the women go do it and they hate it. Yeah.
00:01:08.560I just feel like I wasn't made for that, like nine to five, like hardworking life, which I'll happily admit, like maybe I'm lazy.
00:01:14.140I don't know. I was just made to, you know, have my own business and do my own thing.
00:01:17.400I'm a lot happier, more comfortable, you know, being at home with my dog and doing that.
00:01:21.120Then I am going out to work. It gives me such bad anxiety. It makes my mental health terrible.
00:01:25.420Thank you. Thank you for admitting. Yeah.
00:01:28.060Women do not want to do hard jobs. I don't either.
00:01:31.760I do not want to do construction. None of that.
00:02:14.720So you shouldn't condition women to do things. If you were to leave men and women and not interfere with them, they would naturally go and do the things that they are successful.
00:02:25.900Right. Because that's the problem is we're trying to tell women be something you're not.
00:02:39.280I mean, and I don't think we're meant to have all these sexual partners.
00:02:43.440You know what I mean? Like, I don't think we're meant to have all these sexual partners. I don't think we're meant to like, go not have children. You know, like, that's what I realized. One of the biggest red pills for me was even though I don't believe in feminism, in a way I've lived my life as a feminist because I went to college.
00:03:02.300And it's even like you being able to share your views now, people could argue that that's because of feminism.
00:03:07.360Wrong. No, it's not. No, it's not. We could, we could. The reason, the crazy thing is feminists, if feminism, like, feminists did not fight to share their views because they were openly able to share them.
00:03:46.220Like Joan of Arc. Like there's always been women in history that have been influential. We've always been able to speak. I would argue that most women had more influence and power than most men.
00:04:32.580I think that was a great decision from her.
00:04:34.960No, but what I'm saying is, think about it. Because we keep trying to say men and women are the same and women are equal.
00:04:39.900So this is Cleopatra, who is literally one of the most powerful, maybe you could say one of, one of the smart, smarter women that have lived.
00:04:47.000Right. But she chose to do something with her brain that was still sexual.
00:04:52.140She did a lot of things that were sexual.
00:04:54.260That's my point. So why did, why did she use all that intelligence and influence to actually do what the men do?
00:05:00.740Well, she did it all. She did that as well.
00:05:02.660No. Everything she did in the realm of men was done by men, not by her.
00:05:06.680No, but I feel like she influenced them, you know, because they were in love with her.
00:05:10.380And actually, you know, people say that she wasn't actually very beautiful.
00:05:13.160Like people only fell for her because of her intelligence and she could speak, was it like eight languages or something?
00:05:18.740And it was said that the men actually only fell for her because of that and not for her beauty.
00:05:23.720She wasn't actually supposed to be that beautiful.
00:05:26.240But even so, it's like women, I would argue most women have had power, more power than men, because we start in the world young and beautiful.
00:05:45.660Oh, yeah, of course. I feel like because we learn about that, you assume that that's like a huge amount of people, don't you?
00:05:50.400Yeah, it was like the average jobs, like in the U.S., like two, three hundred years ago, it was like coal miner, farmhand or factory worker.
00:06:19.400But do you feel like that's maybe because like men were in the army, they had more like strength in that kind of way, in like the physical sense?
00:06:26.060I think men are built superior to women.
