00:00:00.000 if men weren't disposable, we would have been a dead-end evolutionary experiment.
00:00:05.580 It wouldn't have happened if we didn't protect women at all costs. And though reason out the
00:00:12.660 window, you have to protect females if you want your species to continue, at least with human
00:00:18.000 beings. We did that for a long, long time. And it's become, I think, a sort of a rote set of
00:00:25.700 expectations in our species that somewhere at the base of our biology is protect women using men's
00:00:34.020 power, force, strength, whatever their lives, their lifeblood, to continue the species. And I think
00:00:40.380 that gets expressed in all kinds of crazy ways. It doesn't mean that we're bound to do it this way.
00:00:47.540 Obviously, we can rise above some of our programming, but I do think there's a biological
00:00:54.400 component of this. I just don't give it all. I'm not a determinist in that way. I don't give it
00:01:02.080 all the weight. Well, I almost think that way, patriarchy, that's why it's made sense for so
00:01:09.400 long because women don't really get oppressed under it because men have an innate instinct to
00:01:14.800 protect us. Right. And the rules of patriarchy says you're going to be protected by men, women and
00:01:24.400 children first. That's patriarchy, which was never a form of oppression. It was a form of privilege for
00:01:30.060 women, a wonderful thing to have. And women have squandered that, unfortunately.
00:01:38.280 Yeah, I heard you could put your husband in jail if he didn't pay the bills. I'm like, there's a lot
00:01:48.900 of women out there that would love to trade it back. You know what I mean?
00:01:57.020 Oh, yes. And, you know, there was times where if a man struck his wife, he would be whipped
00:02:03.280 publicly. There were many years where if a woman committed a crime, a husband would suffer the
00:02:10.920 punishment for it. I recommend Christina Hoff Summers, Who Stole Feminism, for a lot of the history
00:02:16.960 on so-called patriarchy. It's a great read and very enlightening about just how much privilege
00:02:26.400 women have always enjoyed. Oh, so that would probably go in the face because the number one
00:02:36.640 pushback I get is the abuse of men are just going to abuse you. The men just wake up and think abuse.
00:02:43.160 How am I going to abuse women today? And if we give them too much-
00:02:46.040 You're going to twirl the mustache while you think of ways to oppress and abuse.
00:02:49.940 It's so ridiculous.
00:02:54.620 Yes, it is. It is ridiculous. Feminists will find abuse under every rock and in every dark corner.
00:03:04.200 It's all over the place for them. But it is just part of the feminist narrative that men are abusers.
00:03:11.560 Men are protectors. They always have been. And yes, there is a small percentage of men that are
00:03:18.040 jerks and do terrible things. And that guy that comes home after thinking, I'm going to put my
00:03:24.620 wife in her place. He does exist. He's one in a thousand, but they're out there. And feminists
00:03:31.840 have painted all men under that guy's image. Well, it's funny. I think that we do that because
00:03:38.140 we love these terrible men. Oh, we love them. Like Ted Bundy. We love Ted Bundy. You know, it's like
00:03:44.420 I was like, maybe we think that because we just love them so much. We're like, we love these abusive
00:03:50.900 men. You know, for years I spent working, you said you didn't know what it meant. I worked in
00:03:57.180 substance abuse, alcoholics, drug addicts, that sort of thing. And I can't even tell you how many
00:04:02.960 women I canceled over the years that were in like their fourth marriage with their fourth abusive
00:04:08.540 alcoholic husband. And if you ask, are we seeing a pattern here? Even some of your peers would get
00:04:19.700 angry about that, implying that there's some responsibility. But yes, women are attracted to
00:04:26.300 dangerous men. That is a truth that we're not supposed to say, but it's still true.
