Okay, what percent of Western women are marriage material in 2023?
00:00:12.960
I'll just say, first thing that came to my head, maybe 25%.
00:00:20.240
Was the question, what percentage of women are wifeable?
00:00:37.420
The way how things are going right now is the last dying breed, so that's 20%.
00:00:44.580
Do you think women are better off in 2023 than they were in 1953?
00:01:10.500
So, you know, if I really wanted to, I can work hard.
00:01:12.980
I can go out and buy a Mercedes, get a Chanel bag, whatever.
00:01:16.720
But, you know, I still have to walk down the street alone at night, not knowing what could happen.
00:01:25.760
And, like, you know, the option to sit at home and be a housewife isn't readily available to me.
00:01:33.340
So, I do believe that women in the 1950s were better off just because life was simpler.
00:01:39.460
Also, like, technology wasn't around back then.
00:01:41.620
And I think that especially social media is the most toxic thing to happen to us.
00:01:47.040
You know, we're more connected than ever before.
00:01:50.200
But I think kind of what you were saying, like, spiritually, we're further apart than we ever have been.
00:01:55.720
Because social media and everything, it's just a front.
00:01:59.160
And you get to tailor that front how you want to be perceived.
00:02:03.160
So, yeah, I definitely think that, well, me personally, I would have much preferred to have been around in the 1950s.
00:02:12.240
I definitely would have much preferred to be around in that time because, you know, things were just, I would say, more simple back then.
00:02:21.520
And just more, just, I wouldn't say easier, but just there wasn't a lot of pressure.
00:02:28.660
You know, you didn't have that much pressure to prove yourself or you weren't comparing yourself to people all the time.
00:02:35.460
And, you know, you kind of just did what you did to get by.
00:02:38.560
And, you know, communities were stronger as well.
00:02:40.500
Yeah, you looked after your family and, you know, you weren't distracted by social media and, you know, what people are doing and what people are wearing and buying nowadays.
00:02:51.220
So I feel like we have been, like, brainwashed in a way.
00:02:56.600
And I would much prefer to be back in those days, to be honest.
00:03:00.300
I would say, obviously, we're talking about gender right now, but for race, I think in 1953, like, it must have been way harder for, like, black couples to be able to even, like, function.
00:03:16.300
So, and then 2023, we're much more aware about, like, race and, like, the effects that, like, black people have.
00:03:24.640
Like, so for me to find a lovely black man in 2023, I feel like, yeah, it will be much easier for us to actually be in an open relationship.
00:03:35.200
No, not open, open, because, no, I want to be in a monogamous relationship, but, yeah, you know, to even hold hands down the street without, yeah.
00:03:52.040
Are women better off in 2023 than they were in 1953?
00:03:59.800
I think, like, they're really influenced by society and that they're, like, chasing what society is feeding them.
00:04:07.560
And, like, when they actually get there, they're so unhappy because they've realised they've wasted their life chasing something that was designed to destroy them.
00:04:17.000
I think that was always implicated from the 1950s, even till now.
00:04:23.200
There's always been upper, middle, and lower class.
00:04:26.160
So, people have always been chasing something, you know what I mean, to bear themselves.
00:04:30.500
So, me personally, I say it's just more in your face because we've got access to it.
00:04:38.540
Certain people that, what we're now looking at and thinking, oh, wow, they've got this and that.
00:04:43.120
There's always been an upper class, middle class, and a lower class.
00:04:47.720
And we more look at it like, oh, if they can do it, I must be able to do it.
00:04:53.620
It's just, you're chasing it quicker because it's in your face.
00:04:56.460
But in aspect of, like, fashion and everything, nothing has really changed.
00:05:09.300
You don't think social media makes women more delusional?
00:05:14.140
It's like they start thinking they look like the filters.
00:05:18.800
After a show, someone messaged me off of Instagram, I'll look at it.
00:05:26.520
It's like they start to literally think that they're the filters and that the attention they
00:05:31.000
get from those filters equates to real life and it does it.
00:05:34.600
But just as human beings, we've always looked up.
00:05:48.940
And if you did see a rich person or you'd look up to being that person, but it's exactly
00:05:57.300
I think that's what the computers are designed to do.
00:06:01.000
Now relies on the computer, which influences the outcome of society as a whole.
00:06:06.280
I actually think women are better off today because they have no consequences for bad decisions.
00:06:12.320
But I just think, like, before, if you left your man, you were homeless.
00:06:15.600
Now we have all these programs to bail us out of every bad decision that we made.
00:06:23.740
Just like it's kind of like if you give a kid everything they want, are they really going
00:06:28.040
I mean, I almost think women are spoiled in 2022, 23.
00:06:50.460
I think, you know, you said, obviously, like, are women better off?
00:06:57.960
My answer was more coming from, like, a personal point of view of what I'd like.
00:07:03.580
But if you're actually looking at it black and white, yeah, you're better off.
00:07:06.780
Like, even if you do go homeless or whatever, like, start on OnlyFans.
00:07:11.900
Or it's like, if you get pregnant, they used to have shotgun weddings.
00:07:22.960
You know, 40% of women that have had abortions have a two or more?
00:07:28.740
And so, and 60%, what are they going to have in the future?
00:07:31.500
So it's literally a form of birth control in 2023.
00:07:33.520
Yeah, people use abortions as birth control, and it's not great.
00:07:40.080
Well, I definitely think we're better off in 2023.
00:07:41.880
I don't think we would have been able to do this in the 1950s, sit with a woman-only panel
00:07:59.680
I mean, I can't imagine they had the views YouTube does nowadays.
00:08:06.700
Did we post the reaction of the debate of the housewife versus the...
00:08:13.400
It was, like, a housewife versus a career woman.
00:08:15.800
And it was so interesting because it was the same conversation we're having today,
00:08:19.720
It might have been the 60s or, like, 50s, 60s time frame.
00:08:27.320
So, like, I think we're better off now in 2023.
00:08:31.560
But it's, like, I think we're better off, but we're not happier as a whole.
00:08:35.320
Like, I don't think women, the outcomes, like, leave us happy.
00:08:38.760
And I feel like what you said, social media, the delusion.
00:08:41.860
I feel like a lot of us, well, I speak for myself maybe,
00:08:44.860
we spend so much time on social media that we get distracted
00:08:47.080
and we start looking at what we see and thinking,
00:08:57.280
Well, and I think the delusion is leaving us single and childless.
00:09:04.140
And they say 50% of women are going to be single and childless by 2030.
00:09:10.360
Like, if we look in this room, half of us probably won't have kids.
00:09:24.800
So, I don't know how much longer she's going to live.
00:09:26.280
But so, I've been asking her like these like deep questions.
00:09:29.580
And one of them I said, like, do you have any regrets in life?
00:09:42.660
But it's like, when you ask girls, I mean, who here wants nine kids?
00:09:52.760
Have the one first and then you come back to me.
00:10:06.480
It's like, I don't know, a half thousand times worse.
00:10:11.560
But I don't know if you would go nine times for that.
00:10:13.480
But it's interesting because the conversation you guys are having now,
00:10:19.980
she would be like, yeah, no, I have more than nine.
00:10:24.700
So it's kind of just, it's a testament of the times.
00:10:29.460
I think, I feel like women really want to, well, there's a lot of people who actually
00:10:36.940
So I think they're thinking that they don't want to have that many kids just so that they
00:10:41.740
can still have that freedom and that flexibility.
00:10:43.560
And there's a lot of women who actually don't even want kids as well.
00:10:48.540
And there is a study that said 80% of women want children.
00:10:54.600
I think it's, because I've had girls come on the show and they'll say, oh, I don't want
00:10:58.540
And then my next question is, well, what if it was with this guy?
00:11:02.460
Some say it because they're with someone that doesn't want kids or they just feel like
00:11:07.700
Or they can't get the guy they want to have kids with.
00:11:14.240
I mean, some girls really don't, but it's, I don't think it's a large percentage of women.
00:11:20.980
The women who say that they, they don't, I'd be interested to find a woman.
00:11:26.300
It's usually a cope in my, I actually, I want to do a panel with single childless women over
00:11:34.200
So if the comments want to help me in London, that's specific of a panel, but just to get their
00:11:39.440
point of view, because I feel like around like fifties, women get more based a little
00:11:44.920
bit where they kind of are not like, you still get the 40 year old saying, oh, I'm going to
00:12:00.760
As many of you know, I was just banned on Tik TOK and we are demonetized on a daily basis
