Summary
In this episode, I sit down with my good friend and colleague, Dr. Kelly, to talk about why women are attracted to dangerous men and why we should all be worried about what men do to us. We talk about how dangerous men are to us and how we should be prepared to protect ourselves from them.

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.
00:02:54.620
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.
