00:00:00.000 I'm pretty easy to please.
00:00:02.220 It's like you gave me the point A to point B.
00:00:04.360 I'm happy.
00:00:05.140 But my point is that average men that allow us to do what we do deserve respect.
00:00:10.320 And too many times I see people become successful and get to a certain point
00:00:14.120 and they don't respect the average men that run this country.
00:00:17.780 Not everybody's going to own businesses.
00:00:20.200 Not everybody's going to become a top 5, 10% earner.
00:00:23.720 And quite frankly, we couldn't have, like, the country would not function if everybody did.
00:00:28.720 I 100% agree with you on the infrastructure.
00:00:30.960 Men do not get the respect they deserve in that regard on a macro level.
00:00:35.900 On a micro level, I think that you have personal responsibility, individual decisions.
00:00:40.820 Let me ask you this one thing.
00:00:42.760 Why do you think that is?
00:00:44.120 Meaning, this is my hypothesis.
00:00:46.320 Prior to the 1980s, 1950s, however far you want to go,
00:00:52.160 women weren't necessarily in the workforce, right?
00:00:54.680 They were relying on a man.
00:00:55.920 So, you could be at a small town in Des Moines, Iowa, or Jacksonville, Florida, or, you know,
00:01:02.740 wherever.
00:01:04.680 And the point is, you could get, as an average man, you can get a normal girl.
00:01:10.200 She respects you because she's not working.
00:01:12.280 She relies on you.
00:01:13.260 You pay the bills.
00:01:14.600 An average income could support a family of two.
00:01:17.720 Normal guy, normal girl, marriage, family, boom.
00:01:20.940 But as women have been empowered, gone to school, made more money, now they've developed a,
00:01:26.360 I don't really need that $40,000 dude.
00:01:29.540 I make 80 grand.
00:01:30.600 I'm only going to go out with a guy that makes more than me.
00:01:32.600 You know about the hypergamy concept.
00:01:34.860 So, is it because women have made more money, they don't necessarily need that man as a provider?
00:01:39.900 And is that the biggest reason that they don't get the respect from the women?
00:01:43.360 What do you think?
00:01:43.760 I would argue women steal men's money.
00:01:46.020 Actually, I would say they do it through child support, alimony, and government benefits,
00:01:50.000 more than anything.
00:01:50.960 But that's after they get married.
00:01:52.760 In order to get married, a guy has to fall in love and make that decision.
00:01:55.320 Oh, child support.
00:01:56.160 You don't need to get, you just need to trap the guy.
00:01:59.320 You just need, like, the wrong, get the wrong woman pregnant.
00:02:01.680 But, you know, they say that.
00:02:02.880 But women used to, it used to be, everything was more family-oriented before.
00:02:07.560 So, women would work, they would just work, like, if a guy had a farm, the woman would work on the farm.
00:02:14.360 So, they would just be working together, typically.
00:02:17.600 Yeah, but how many people are working on farms these days, Pearl?
00:02:20.640 No, I know, these days.
00:02:21.840 But you were talking about, like, I'm saying it's not correct, this idea that, like, women didn't, like, work and contribute to society.
00:02:29.640 Not in the way they do now, sure.
00:02:32.260 But I'm saying, in the past, like, come on, a woman from the 1850s, life was a million times harder than a chick working today.
00:02:42.680 Absolutely.
00:02:43.320 Like, Google a day in the life of the Amish.
00:02:45.840 Oh, my God.
00:02:46.980 Could you do that?
00:02:47.940 I couldn't do that.
00:02:49.040 I see your point.
00:02:50.660 I don't even think we're arguing.
00:02:51.740 I think we're just, we're disagreeing on nuance.
00:02:54.960 Everyone's life was harder in the 1850s.
00:02:57.660 Everyone.
00:02:58.420 You know, the world is so much better, and this is the problem in America today.
00:03:01.180 The world is so much better than it's ever been, especially Western society, so much better.
00:03:07.040 The poverty levels are minuscule compared to where they were 20, 40, 50, 100 years ago.
00:03:13.560 We're inventing problems.
00:03:15.200 We're inventing depression.
00:03:16.440 We're passing out antidepressants like it's, you know, popcorn, whereas life is actually pretty good, right?
00:03:24.100 And women, they're capitalizing on modern society.
00:03:28.560 Should women, you know, dumb it down and not capitalize and just focus on marriage and kids?
00:03:36.820 Or should women be like, yeah, let me go get my money, too.
00:03:39.780 How should women operate in modern society?
00:03:42.580 Well, I would say society would be a lot better if women focused on family and especially family over themselves.
00:03:50.160 I would say I actually disagree with one thing you said there.
00:03:53.640 I actually don't think that this depression, anxiety, all that stuff, I really don't think it's made up.
00:03:59.180 I think it comes from single mother homes.
00:04:01.360 I think it comes from selfish mothers choosing themselves over their family.
00:04:05.380 And I think that kind of messes you up in the head.
00:04:08.260 A lot of times for life, some people can overcome it, but a lot of times.
00:04:11.740 Okay, so you actually, you've said something about being selfish, actually, a perfect segue.
00:04:18.920 You said a modern female mentality is me before the family, right?
00:04:22.440 Women filed a divorce, we all know this, what, 70 to 80% of the time, especially if they're college educated.
00:04:30.580 Divorce, how do you feel about divorce?
00:04:32.640 You said it should be banned?
00:04:33.740 Yeah, except for Will Smith, I'll give him one.
00:04:38.340 So Will Smith.
00:04:39.500 Will Smith, I grant you a divorce.
00:04:42.540 So other than Will Smith, when do you condone divorce?
00:04:46.260 Under any circumstances?
00:04:47.820 I'll give one-sided abuse.
00:04:49.760 I think if they're beating each other, they should work it out.
00:04:52.240 They should just both figure out how to not hit.
00:04:54.680 But yeah, one-sided abuse, I'll give you a divorce.
00:04:58.360 Maybe some adultery cases.
00:05:00.540 Most cheating is a one-time thing, fun fact.
00:05:03.960 But, you know, maybe if he gets another chick pregnant, I might give you a divorce.
00:05:08.420 So there are exceptions to the rule.
00:05:10.340 Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:05:11.240 The church used to, like, you'd have to, like, give your case to the church, and then they would say yes or no.
00:05:16.560 But they were a lot more picky back then.
00:05:18.320 So go ham on the women right now, right?
00:05:20.640 I don't think you're going to have a problem with that.
00:05:25.560 What is it that makes them selfish?
00:05:28.320 Why are they the ones filing for divorce the vast majority of the time?
00:05:32.740 What is it that they're just willing to just cast away their kids, their family, and just succumb to their emotions?
00:05:39.000 What is it?
00:05:39.480 Oh, God.
00:05:40.180 I've heard every.
00:05:41.260 I'm sure you've heard every excuse, too.
00:05:43.420 He was holding me back.
00:05:44.760 I'm like, bitch, from what?
00:05:46.180 He gave you kids.
00:05:47.220 No, I mean, women file 70% to 80% of the time, and a lot of times I think it's because they think the grass is greener on the other side.
00:05:55.880 And a lot of times, again, the media tells us we're so special and awesome and amazing, and you're going to find better.
00:06:02.980 And the truth is that most women do not.
00:06:05.020 The majority of single mothers do not remarry.
00:06:07.460 They do not.
00:06:08.000 I think only it's like 15% actually get a guy to remarry them, 22% get a guy to live with them again.
00:06:14.700 So the majority of single mothers do not have happy endings.
00:06:18.100 And we're not really honest.
00:06:19.820 We don't really tell people these statistics.
00:06:22.260 Okay, bingo.
00:06:22.740 I think that's a great point and a great stat you just made.
00:06:25.400 We just did a whole panel.
00:06:28.040 Kevin Sabo was on.
00:06:29.660 Troy Francis was on.
00:06:30.920 A couple of our friends were on.
00:06:32.440 There was a couple single mothers on the panel.
00:06:36.180 Janelle Gordon, you might know.
00:06:39.020 Janelle, we asked the question to the men.
00:06:41.760 You meet this woman.
00:06:42.820 She's amazing.
00:06:43.480 She's awesome.
00:06:44.240 She's young.
00:06:44.960 She's beautiful.
00:06:46.100 She's charismatic.
00:06:47.200 She's smart.
00:06:48.740 She's loyal.
00:06:49.680 All that fun stuff.
00:06:51.140 But she has a three-year-old kid.
00:06:52.900 Okay?
00:06:53.400 The good news is he was potty trained.
00:06:54.880 Yeah, ha, ha, ha, ha.
00:06:56.420 Would you date this girl?
00:06:58.120 And uniformly, they're like, nah, nah, nah, nah.
00:07:00.800 And then the women with kids obviously stated their case.
00:07:02.940 That's like, nah, like a real man needs to step up.
00:07:05.420 All that fun stuff.
00:07:06.480 But you said that only 15% of single mothers remarry?
00:07:10.520 Roughly.
00:07:10.960 I don't remember if it's, it's like a roughly 15.
00:07:13.600 I don't, it could have been 13.
00:07:14.840 Gotcha, but I think that's an important stat to point out.
00:07:17.100 Because if that's the objective to get married,
00:07:21.740 it'd be good to know that stat.
00:07:23.260 Yeah, and then 22% get a guy to live with them.
00:07:25.700 But again, that means the majority do not have happy endings.
00:07:29.080 You know, another stat, if you hit 30 and you're not in a relationship,
00:07:32.500 you're more likely to not have kids than to have them.
00:07:35.500 As a woman?
00:07:36.140 As a woman.
00:07:36.760 Okay, gotcha.
00:07:37.620 Well, actually, if you, if you had 35 as a guy,
00:07:40.100 you only have a 15% chance of getting married over,
00:07:42.620 I think too many men, like, they see the game.
00:07:45.280 They're like, I'm not playing.
