In this video, I discuss the implications of artificial womps, the fertility epidemic, and how this technology will affect men in the current anti-marriage climate. I also discuss the dangers of circumcision, and the impact it could have on children.


Transcript

00:00:00.000 Thank you.
00:00:30.080 This requested video comes from Isaac, who asks that I discuss the consequences of artificial womb technology.
00:00:38.000 Now, I'm going to be breaking this video down into four main sections.
00:00:42.620 The first is the broader ethical implications of this technology.
00:00:49.980 Next is the individual moral consequences of raising, of birthing a child this way.
00:00:58.360 Next, I'll address the fertility epidemic, the fact that our birth rates are so low and what effect this may or may not have on that.
00:01:08.900 And fourth and finally, I'll be discussing how this will affect men in the present climate of a very anti-male, anti-marriage, throw you in prison if you don't pay child support on time.
00:01:24.840 So, to start with, the broader ethical implications.
00:01:29.600 Now, the artificial womb is certainly taking reproductive technology a major step forward.
00:01:39.520 It's uncertain when we'll have this technology.
00:01:42.420 It could be as soon as five years or as long as 40.
00:01:45.480 But at that point, you can take frozen eggs and frozen sperm and make your own person out of that.
00:01:54.040 And it's not too far removed from that to cloning, to creating vast swaths of people with the exact same DNA.
00:02:03.520 Now, of course, all of these questions and all of reproductive technology keeps bringing up the questions of eugenics,
00:02:11.440 which is a massive topic all on its own that I don't want to delve into completely here because it is too big.
00:02:21.300 We certainly saw what happens when the left wing controls eugenics in the past century.
00:02:25.880 And thanks to that, we are very resistant to it, very suspicious of it.
00:02:32.120 At present, at least, attitudes can shift.
00:02:36.540 But even right now, the sort of questions that the artificial womb would bring up,
00:02:41.820 cloning, creating people without parents,
00:02:45.100 to a certain degree, these are questions we're dealing with right now.
00:02:48.300 Sex-selective abortions, for example.
00:02:50.620 It's a huge problem when in India, they abort female fetuses.
00:02:56.660 But for some reason, not such a huge problem here in North America when feminists abort male fetuses, unfortunately.
00:03:05.680 You know, being selective about who the father is,
00:03:09.760 because of sperm banks, there's cases where one individual will father 50 or even 150 different children,
00:03:18.080 usually in the same area, and none of them know that they're related,
00:03:21.720 causing possible accidental incest problems later on down the road.
00:03:27.560 All of this.
00:03:28.980 We're already dealing with these questions,
00:03:32.420 or as the case may be, we're not dealing with them.
00:03:36.620 And the artificial womb would certainly, it would up the ante,
00:03:40.860 but it wouldn't really change the nature of the game,
00:03:44.460 of what's going on with all of this.
00:03:46.760 In fact, it might even be the trigger.
00:03:50.420 Realizing that we can now create a person without having a distinct mother or father
00:03:56.180 beyond their genetic contribution,
00:03:59.060 this might be the trigger to really make us start thinking about all of this,
00:04:03.960 thinking about the ethical considerations of all of this stuff,
00:04:08.120 and hopefully having an intelligent conversation about it.
00:04:11.280 But, you know, don't count on that.
00:04:12.580 So that's kind of the broader ethical things.
00:04:17.520 I don't want to delve into that too deeply,
00:04:19.740 because really that's a conversation about eugenics.
00:04:22.440 It's a topic unto itself.
00:04:26.180 I'm talking about the artificial womb here.
00:04:28.580 It's as if, if I were talking about electric cars,
00:04:31.280 obviously drunk driving is still a concern,
00:04:33.520 but I'm not going to spend the entire review of an electric car talking about drunk driving.
00:04:37.580 So next, the moral concerns.
00:04:41.600 I have a very real worry about children that would be grown in an artificial womb.
00:04:53.840 That they wouldn't have that experience of bonding with their mother
00:04:58.700 when they're developing inside of her.
00:05:01.820 And you see, childhood trauma can have a lot of effects down the road.
00:05:08.880 There's a terrible documentary I saw.
00:05:11.760 If I can find the link for it, I'll put it down below.
00:05:14.400 It was on YouTube.
00:05:15.220 I think it was a CNN documentary
00:05:16.700 about this poor little girl that just suffered the most terrible, violent molestation you can imagine.
00:05:23.640 And as she was growing up, she was a very troubled child because of all of this.
00:05:29.520 With extreme violent outbursts, torturing her younger brother.
00:05:34.440 And it was so heartbreaking because when you saw this girl, they interviewed her.
00:05:39.980 You also saw a human soul that was trying to be better than what her past had been.
00:05:46.360 You know, she was turned into a monster, but she was trying not to be.
00:05:50.940 She was trying to be better than that.
00:05:52.440 But it just really goes to show you how much childhood trauma can affect somebody.
00:05:59.520 Now, that's an extreme case.
00:06:01.500 But then you have cases, you know, the lesser degree,
00:06:04.300 and this is something a lot of people don't like to talk about, is circumcision.
00:06:09.020 Is taking a knife to a little baby boy's foreskin
00:06:14.360 and him screaming in pain to the point where he goes into shock,
00:06:20.180 where he stops screaming because his brain literally overloads with pain.
00:06:25.840 That's the sort of thing that in all probability does have consequences down the line.
00:06:31.240 does lead to an insensitivity towards others, a bruseness, a harshness.
00:06:38.860 You know, and what about a baby that was raised in a machine that didn't have a mother singing to it,
00:06:50.440 loving it, didn't have that heartbeat, didn't have that attention?
00:06:55.760 And what about the mother that never bonded with her infant in that way?
00:07:01.320 You know, you can certainly imagine the rich Hollywood celebrity
00:07:05.440 that doesn't want to get fat, by which she means pregnant,
00:07:10.560 that wants the ease of having an artificial womb.
00:07:15.300 I mean, already right now, we're having issues with C-sections.
00:07:20.240 They are performing too many C-sections in hospitals.
00:07:23.760 When you do C-sections properly, when you think about them and use them only in cases of medical risk,
00:07:31.540 they reduce the number of women who die during childbirth.
00:07:35.320 But because we're doing so many C-sections,
00:07:38.300 more women are dying from the C-sections than would have been dying just from the birth.
00:07:43.400 We're not balancing it properly.
00:07:45.420 There's a huge push to do this.
00:07:47.420 And there's also a bit of a cosmetic angle to the whole thing.
00:07:53.240 You know, I could definitely see the artificial wombs having a similar influence,
00:07:56.700 that rich couples don't want to get fat.
00:07:59.400 And so they have these designer babies.
00:08:02.860 They grow in a machine.
00:08:05.460 And they never truly bond with them.
00:08:08.600 You know, on the visceral level, a woman's hormones change when she's pregnant.
00:08:14.940 Her neurology changes.
00:08:16.600 And so does the husbands.
00:08:19.140 You know, having a pregnant woman makes you that much more attentive and protective.
00:08:25.840 You know, defensive of your woman.
00:08:27.860 More devoted to her.
00:08:29.720 You're no longer just a couple of teenagers fooling around.
00:08:32.600 You're now actual adults.
00:08:35.420 Even with the medical technology, psychologically, we're still a million years ago.
00:08:40.360 You know, we take care of a pregnant woman in a different way.
00:08:43.560 We bond to one another in different manners.
00:08:47.640 And a mother that's never had this, that's never been able to bond with her child while raising it,
00:08:55.400 is, is she going to be as good of a mother as she would have been had she actually become pregnant?
00:09:04.820 I don't think so.
00:09:09.940 I would doubt that personally.
00:09:12.460 And finally, there's the issue of how forming a marriage, it really is your first step into adulthood.
00:09:29.680 Forming a solid bond with a member of the other sex.
00:09:34.580 You see, the two sexes are, now, they're different.
00:09:39.540 You know, despite all the propaganda nowadays that men are just as strong as women or women are just as strong as men,
00:09:44.800 despite all of that nonsense, the two sexes are incredibly disparate.
00:09:50.340 But we're two halves of a single whole.
00:09:52.780 The differences in our nature balance each other out, and marriage, traditionally, at least,
00:10:00.600 we're not talking about the modern joke of marriage 2.0, where the entire system tells you, tells her to divorce you at the drop of a hat.
00:10:07.280 We're talking about the original conception, what the institution was.
00:10:10.760 It was balancing out the competing drives of the two sexes to create a stable household and the foundation of civilization.
00:10:21.320 And this demands adulthood.
00:10:24.440 This demands maturity out of the person.
00:10:30.400 And with the artificial womb, you don't have to have that.
00:10:33.140 It seems to, once again, turning children into a lifestyle option, an accoutrement that you add to your life because you're bored or because whatever reason.
00:10:49.340 You don't have to first build a strong and stable relationship with somebody that thinks completely differently from you.
00:10:58.080 No, you can just have them.
00:11:03.140 You know, at the end of the day, children require both mothers and fathers.
00:11:12.020 That is the ideal circumstances for raising a child.
00:11:16.620 A child needs to know that it was wanted.
00:11:19.000 That even if, God forbid, one of the parents dies, you know, the mother dies in childbirth or one of them dies while the child is still very young,
00:11:27.940 even then, without that role model present, they still have that metaphorical role model.
00:11:33.140 They have that image of their father or their mother that they can think of.
00:11:38.480 And the remaining parent can say, you know, they loved you very much.
00:11:43.120 And they can tell you stories.
00:11:44.860 And they can, you know, you still have an image for how to be.
00:11:49.720 And see, a mother that lost a devoted husband or a father that lost a devoted wife is still going to be that mature person that formed a relationship that deeply loved the other sex.
00:12:02.780 And even with only the ghost of the person still there, there's still going to be that implication of how men and women are supposed to relate to each other, of, you know, if you're a daughter, what you should look for in a good husband.
00:12:16.040 And if you're a son, what you should look for in a good wife.
00:12:18.780 With the artificial womb, if the single parents, you're simply not going to have that.
00:12:26.160 The gay couples, you're, again, with the gay couples, you don't have those two halves of the human race.
00:12:33.420 You've got two men or two women who are both agree on everything.
00:12:38.620 They don't have that major, that major disagreement that requires maturity to overcome.
00:12:44.620 They can simply be romantically inclined friends.
00:12:48.000 And it's not the same thing for a child to grow up without both parents.
00:12:53.380 And this, of course, we already have this.
00:12:55.400 This is already going on all over the place.
00:12:57.500 The artificial womb just seems to exacerbate the entire thing.
00:13:08.540 Next, let's talk about the fertility crisis right now.
00:13:16.840 Now, at present, the birth rates in Western nations are somewhere around 1.4 per couple.
00:13:24.700 You know, I don't know what the latest stats are that's a few years old or a few years old.
00:13:29.740 It might have gone up a hair.
00:13:30.820 It might have gone down a bit.
00:13:32.300 But at the end of the day, you need 2.1 children per couple to replace the population.
00:13:38.120 And we don't have that.
00:13:41.880 So the question is, will these artificial wombs help with this?
00:13:46.740 Is this the reproductive technology that will increase our birth rate to a sustainable level?
00:13:52.980 And I don't see it.
00:13:56.460 If anything, I could see this causing the birth rate to actually go down.
00:14:02.400 Now, first of all, we already have a lot of this technology.
00:14:06.900 We already have in vitro fertilization.
00:14:09.800 We already have donor eggs and, you know, donor sperm.
00:14:13.960 We already have hormone treatment.
00:14:16.420 We have a lot of this stuff.
00:14:18.320 Now, trying to find accurate information on this is extremely difficult.
00:14:25.220 I was trying to look up just how many children are produced through IVF
00:14:32.120 or how many couples use reproductive therapy to successfully conceive in, you know,
00:14:38.540 when the woman's 35, 40, etc.
00:14:40.220 And I don't know if anybody knows the answer to these questions.
00:14:45.280 I could not find any information on this.
00:14:50.580 And I think there's two reasons for that.
00:14:52.880 The first is that the industry is extremely profitable.
00:14:58.140 It's a very large industry.
00:15:00.320 It's, you know, not as big as the tech sector,
00:15:03.120 but there's a lot of money involved in this,
00:15:06.800 and it's very lightly regulated.
00:15:09.060 And I don't think there's any interest in finding the accurate information.
00:15:15.280 You know, there's no market that you can sell consumer reports to, you know?
00:15:20.620 Like, the auto industry obviously doesn't want you to know that their car sucks,
00:15:24.640 but there's enough people buying cars that you have auto magazines.
00:15:29.320 You shouldn't expect Ford or Chevy to advertise anything
00:15:33.300 but what they want to advertise about their car.
00:15:35.500 You go to the car magazine to learn if it's a good car or not.
00:15:42.340 You don't get this with the reproductive industry just because of the nature of it.
00:15:46.860 Nobody thinks they're going to need it until they need it.
00:15:50.260 And once they need it, they're too focused on getting the treatment to do a lot of research.
00:15:57.540 They're not going to subscribe to a monthly magazine.
00:15:59.780 So there's simply no market for finding out this information.
00:16:05.000 But there's a second reason I think there's not much information on this
00:16:09.680 is because all of this, this entire conversation that we're having right now in this video,
00:16:16.560 this undermines the standard lifestyle that women are expected to live.
00:16:22.020 Right now, the societal script for women is spend your 20s going to university
00:16:29.020 and, you know, play around with a bunch of different guys.
00:16:32.420 Then spend your late 20s getting a career and being established and, you know, wearing a power suit.
00:16:39.060 Then finally, you know, once your partying days are done,
00:16:41.980 around 27, you find a guy that you kind of like and you start to get serious with him.
00:16:47.400 Settle down with him by the time you're 30.
00:16:49.620 And then maybe once you're 33, 35 and you're married and you own a house finally,
00:16:55.800 this is when you start having children.
00:16:58.320 This is the standard lifestyle script that's sold to everybody
00:17:01.420 and most people are at least trying to live it.
00:17:06.780 You know, as George Carlin said, they call it the American dream
00:17:09.600 because you must be asleep to believe in it.
00:17:12.580 The reality is that women's fertility starts to drop precipitously by their late 20s.
00:17:23.340 Teenage girls are incredibly fertile.
00:17:27.400 From about 16 to 24 is the peak fertility years.
00:17:32.120 You know, this is also, there's this myth about women hitting their sexual peak in their 30s.
00:17:37.600 It's absolute nonsense.
00:17:39.960 Women are in their sexual peak in their 20s.
00:17:43.220 It's just in their 30s, they're more desperate for attention
00:17:45.480 because they aren't getting approached all the time
00:17:47.100 and they also have far fewer hang-ups.
00:17:50.960 The thing is, a 20-year-old woman is going to be a little minx in the bed
00:17:54.700 that no 35-year-old woman can compete with.
00:17:57.360 You know, women's ovaries are screaming at them to reproduce at that age
00:18:02.860 but the whole society has indoctrinated them against it
00:18:06.760 because we want women getting those useless degrees
00:18:09.960 and paying taxes with their corporate jobs, of course.
00:18:13.220 And that makes feminists happy that women are equal, apparently,
00:18:18.200 because making the same income is what makes you an equal human being,
00:18:21.940 not the worth of your internal soul.
00:18:24.400 Furthermore, there's health benefits for women reproducing when they're young.
00:18:34.160 Women that have children when they're young bounce back a lot faster from the pregnancies
00:18:39.000 and they also have fewer problems later in life with osteoporosis.
00:18:45.860 Again, I'm not a medical expert.
00:18:47.920 You can look this up.
00:18:48.740 But evolution designed us to reproduce in our teens and 20s
00:18:54.520 and we're holding that off until the age of 30.
00:18:59.820 And as a consequence, a lot of couples are finding that they're having trouble reproducing.
00:19:05.700 If you sleep with a 20-year-old woman and you don't use a condom,
00:19:10.800 it's, what, a 50-50 chance she's going to get knocked up?
00:19:13.380 It's a very high probability.
00:19:15.240 You know, women that age are incredibly fertile.
00:19:17.200 By the time you get to 30, you start having major problems,
00:19:21.820 not just with maintaining the pregnancy and not losing it,
00:19:25.940 but also with raising a healthy baby.
00:19:29.780 That's the script.
00:19:31.140 And any accurate information about how many people are using reproductive technology right now,
00:19:37.660 that would threaten to undermine the script.
00:19:40.960 That would expose the lie that is feminism and all the big money behind it.
00:19:46.660 And it certainly wouldn't help the big money that's being made in these industries.
00:19:51.680 No conspiracy.
00:19:54.480 Just lots of individual actors with their own interest.
00:19:58.840 Nobody at the New York Times wants to upset women.
00:20:01.740 It's the majority of their readership.
00:20:03.820 So nobody's going to report on it.
00:20:05.340 Nobody's going to look at it because there's no money to be made
00:20:08.960 in discussing the accurate figures.
00:20:12.180 So with that said,
00:20:17.220 we have to guess at how many people are using reproductive technology.
00:20:21.620 And it does seem to be, it's fairly common.
00:20:25.120 There does seem to be a lot of it going on.
00:20:28.100 And it's not helping our birth rate.
00:20:32.560 You know, like, we've got all this stuff.
00:20:34.400 We've got some amazing reproductive technologies.
00:20:37.420 And women are having children, you know, in their 50s, for God's sakes.
00:20:42.160 You know, good luck raising a baby,
00:20:43.880 waking up at midnight when you're 50 years old to take care of an infant.
00:20:49.740 Yeah, you know how it's so easy to bounce back from a hangover from your 20s?
00:20:53.300 That's because you're supposed to be raising babies during that stage of your life.
00:20:57.980 Although, good luck doing that nowadays.
00:21:02.980 Now, we already have this technology.
00:21:05.420 And, you know, these artificial wombs, yes, this would make it easier.
00:21:09.160 This is one more piece.
00:21:12.280 But it's not going to be a game changer by any means.
00:21:15.080 In fact, I would predict that ultimately, this is going to reduce the birth rate.
00:21:19.880 Because nobody wants to hear the true information on any of this.
00:21:24.920 Nobody actually wants to hear that, yeah, we can give you IVF.
00:21:28.520 Yeah, we can do some fertility treatment.
00:21:30.640 But you're 40 years old.
00:21:33.100 It's still, you know, very low chance it's going to work.
00:21:36.660 And it's going to cost you a few hundred thousand dollars.
00:21:38.860 This sort of opportunity, the idea that you can just wait until your late 30s or 40s to have children
00:21:48.840 is going to cause people to put off having children when they're younger.
00:21:52.600 It's going to get people set in their ways.
00:21:54.980 When, even if you've been married since 25, if you've been married for 10 years and you're 35,
00:22:01.280 you've adapted to the, basically you're a bachelor and a bachelorette living with each other on a permanent basis.
00:22:09.440 You're not really a married couple.
00:22:11.780 You're set in your ways.
00:22:13.920 You know, you like going out with your friends on Friday night.
00:22:17.000 You have everything sorted out.
00:22:18.740 But the likelihood of you throwing your whole life up in the air at that age to have a child,
00:22:25.840 you know, it gets less and less likely by the year.
00:22:29.160 So the more people we condition to have, to stave off having children in their 20s,
00:22:34.580 because, you know, you can always use the artificial womb,
00:22:37.740 the fewer people will want to have children.
00:22:41.160 Or even if they want to, they'll just say, you know, I'm way too old.
00:22:43.840 I could not deal with kids at this point.
00:22:46.620 And let's not forget the costs involved with this stuff.
00:22:51.980 Reproductive technology costs hundreds of thousands of dollars.
00:22:57.180 You know, kids are already pretty bloody expensive to begin with.
00:23:01.080 Now that you're putting it off for so long, you're adding this huge cost that doesn't need to be there.
00:23:07.040 And every economic cost, if you add a cost of $100,000 just to having a child,
00:23:13.640 the market responds to incentives.
00:23:17.860 People are going to elect not to have children because of that cost.
00:23:24.460 Ultimately, I don't see this helping the reproductive crisis at all.
00:23:28.640 If anything, it will be, well, it will probably be neutral for the most part,
00:23:33.340 but it might have a slightly negative effect,
00:23:36.420 as it encourages people to go against their natural instincts.
00:23:40.020 And now the final point.
00:23:43.940 How will this affect men?
00:23:47.360 Because in the present climate,
00:23:50.160 getting married, period, is extremely dangerous.
00:23:55.680 There's a 50% divorce rate,
00:23:59.000 you know, higher depending where you're looking,
00:24:00.640 and 75% to 85% of the time,
00:24:05.140 it's initiated by the woman.
00:24:08.280 And I don't think I need to go into the domestic violence stats with you guys.
00:24:12.700 For the record, it's about 50-50,
00:24:14.460 equal male on female violence.
00:24:18.020 But the majority of these divorces aren't because of any legitimate cause.
00:24:23.160 These are not for-cause divorces.
00:24:25.120 They are no-fault divorces.
00:24:27.800 So getting married is a huge, risky settlement.
00:24:33.980 Having children doubles up on the amount of risk,
00:24:38.060 because now you can be sued for child support.
00:24:40.800 And we have reinvented the debt prisons,
00:24:45.300 debtors' prisons, throughout the West,
00:24:48.260 where if you're late on your child support payments,
00:24:50.540 you could go to prison for that.
00:24:52.900 But how exactly you're supposed to make money in prison to pay off the debts,
00:24:57.000 I'm not quite sure.
00:24:58.580 But I'm sure a bunch of people make a lot of money prosecuting you when it happens.
00:25:04.360 So having children right now is such a huge, risky proposition.
00:25:09.840 And not to mention the fact that
00:25:11.380 the fact that these laws exist
00:25:13.200 also alter the dynamics of the marriage.
00:25:18.680 It's basically one person, you know, the woman,
00:25:22.100 has a nuclear button that she can hit at any point.
00:25:25.960 So anytime you're having a disagreement on anything,
00:25:28.860 that possibility, even if it doesn't get brought up,
00:25:31.880 is going to affect the dynamic of the argument.
00:25:36.200 So yes, getting married is a terrible, terrible prospect for men.
00:25:43.220 Will this make a difference?
00:25:49.780 Once again, no.
00:25:51.960 No.
00:25:52.380 And we already have a perfect example of
00:25:54.720 why this won't make a significant difference.
00:25:57.520 There might be a few men that would choose to do it.
00:26:00.560 But not to any appreciable degree.
00:26:03.680 You know, we're talking like maybe one out of a thousand here.
00:26:07.100 It's, yeah, in theory this would be good for men.
00:26:09.860 Like it does give men another option.
00:26:12.060 We don't have to get married to have children.
00:26:15.020 And certainly having options is always a good thing.
00:26:19.140 But I don't really see it as a game changer to any degree.
00:26:22.580 Simply because
00:26:23.620 feminists
00:26:25.860 don't use sperm banks all that often.
00:26:33.680 Now here's the thing.
00:26:34.760 Of the two sexes,
00:26:36.520 I don't think it's controversial to state
00:26:38.560 that women tend to be the sex
00:26:41.640 that's more focused on having children.
00:26:44.480 I mean, guys want to have children too.
00:26:47.500 But for us, I partly, you know,
00:26:49.280 as part of our sex,
00:26:50.240 we can have children well up into our 50s or 60s
00:26:53.000 without any issues whatsoever.
00:26:55.240 So it's just not a priority for us.
00:26:58.500 We don't get baby rabies.
00:27:00.140 We can be very nurturing,
00:27:03.260 but we aren't as drawn to being nurturing
00:27:06.000 as women are.
00:27:08.520 It's not as much of a high priority.
00:27:10.920 We can be very nurturing,
00:27:12.380 or we could work on our car.
00:27:15.260 It's, I could do it or not.
00:27:17.060 It's not, I need to be doing this.
00:27:20.080 So women are the more,
00:27:26.420 the more drawn to nurturing sex,
00:27:29.100 the more drawn to motherhood sex.
00:27:31.900 And we've had feminists screaming
00:27:33.880 about how reproductive technology
00:27:35.980 will help us get rid of men.
00:27:37.780 You know, we don't need these evil,
00:27:39.120 vile, hairy, sweaty men
00:27:41.440 all over the place anymore.
00:27:42.780 We only need a stable full of them,
00:27:45.360 and they can donate sperm all day.
00:27:47.460 And yet the feminists
00:27:50.160 aren't really taking advantage of this,
00:27:52.760 are they?
00:27:53.700 The vast majority of people having children,
00:27:56.760 the vast, vast majority,
00:27:59.240 are married couples.
00:28:04.740 It seems that no matter what the technology is,
00:28:07.760 the technology can kind of undermine our instincts,
00:28:10.160 it can divert them,
00:28:11.540 it can, you know, twist them a bit,
00:28:13.020 but the instincts always win over.
00:28:15.540 And people that want to have children
00:28:18.120 typically do it by getting married
00:28:20.760 and having children with one another.
00:28:25.160 Sperm banks haven't drastically changed
00:28:28.460 how couples reproduce.
00:28:30.120 Now, again, it is very hard to find statistics
00:28:32.520 on any of this stuff,
00:28:34.400 but just common sense, looking around,
00:28:37.920 how many people do you know
00:28:39.200 that were created from in vitro fertilization?
00:28:42.940 You know, that were raised by a single mum.
00:28:47.300 You know, who didn't,
00:28:48.020 even the single mums,
00:28:49.040 most of them just had casual sex.
00:28:52.200 And heck,
00:28:52.720 feminists don't even really need
00:28:54.360 in vitro fertilization
00:28:55.420 to do any of this stuff.
00:28:56.940 I mean, like, that way you get to have a doctor
00:28:58.560 as the father,
00:28:59.680 but realistically she could just go to a bar
00:29:01.740 and find the first person there
00:29:03.080 and use them to get pregnant
00:29:04.900 if that's what she wanted.
00:29:06.700 You know, you hear feminists
00:29:08.860 talking about getting rid of men
00:29:10.600 and using sperm banks,
00:29:11.840 but they don't seem to actually do it,
00:29:13.840 which suggests,
00:29:15.280 it suggests that they're just
00:29:16.840 venting emotionally.
00:29:18.240 They're not actually serious.
00:29:23.740 You know, and this kind of leads up
00:29:24.820 to the next problem.
00:29:25.680 Now, that's what women
00:29:27.560 have to deal with to get,
00:29:29.600 so they just have to go to a sperm bank
00:29:31.040 and they pay $500, $1,000
00:29:33.440 and they, you know,
00:29:35.760 have sex with a turkey baster.
00:29:38.500 And there you go,
00:29:39.120 you have a baby now.
00:29:41.940 With men,
00:29:43.160 with men using artificial wounds,
00:29:45.540 it would be a very different scenario
00:29:46.820 because even in the biological sciences,
00:29:52.980 sperm is cheap
00:29:53.940 and eggs are expensive.
00:29:56.560 Most men that donate sperm
00:29:58.220 view it as a job.
00:30:01.840 You know, it's something,
00:30:02.640 listen, I get $100 a month
00:30:04.720 for donating sperm.
00:30:06.600 You know, I get whatever.
00:30:07.880 It's something I do.
00:30:09.860 And ironically,
00:30:10.620 they're more likely to acknowledge
00:30:11.680 that they are the father
00:30:12.580 of the children.
00:30:14.340 Whereas women that donate eggs
00:30:16.400 view it as a gift
00:30:18.280 and completely deny any connection
00:30:20.480 with the children whatsoever.
00:30:22.600 Which kind of goes back
00:30:23.680 to my moral point earlier
00:30:24.920 about actually having the child
00:30:26.660 in your womb
00:30:28.560 is a different experience
00:30:30.700 from merely genetically reproducing
00:30:34.600 for the female of the species.
00:30:40.000 But yeah,
00:30:40.620 they tend to view it as gifts
00:30:42.100 and any financial compensation
00:30:44.180 is just a gift
00:30:45.540 they're getting in return.
00:30:46.660 It's not a business.
00:30:47.760 It's not something they're selling.
00:30:49.100 It's something they're giving away.
00:30:51.600 And this is because
00:30:53.060 it is
00:30:54.580 it is an invasive procedure
00:30:57.020 to get an egg from a woman.
00:31:00.760 And
00:31:01.020 so sperm banks,
00:31:02.920 you just, you know,
00:31:03.600 you jerk off in the cup.
00:31:05.000 The women actually have to go
00:31:06.360 through mildly dangerous
00:31:08.780 surgery
00:31:09.660 to do this.
00:31:11.240 so that they're not just
00:31:12.800 going to do it
00:31:13.300 willy-nilly as a career.
00:31:14.800 Not the vast majority
00:31:15.720 of them at least.
00:31:18.120 So women already have
00:31:19.140 this really easy time
00:31:20.600 finding sperm.
00:31:21.920 It
00:31:22.020 just
00:31:22.740 pay some money.
00:31:24.200 Not even that much.
00:31:25.100 Or just go to a bar
00:31:26.260 and find a guy.
00:31:27.700 Whereas for men,
00:31:28.980 even with artificial wounds,
00:31:30.460 you would still have to find
00:31:31.840 an egg donor.
00:31:33.540 It might be easier to find that
00:31:34.780 than a kidney donor,
00:31:35.700 but it's still going to be
00:31:37.040 extremely challenging.
00:31:40.460 And ultimately,
00:31:42.000 I think we
00:31:43.060 need to look at this
00:31:44.380 and say,
00:31:46.500 why
00:31:47.140 why would
00:31:49.480 this help men?
00:31:51.380 What is the problem
00:31:52.860 that this would
00:31:54.160 supposedly help?
00:31:55.480 Why do men
00:31:56.180 need these artificial
00:31:57.800 wombs
00:31:58.360 to have children
00:31:59.220 safely?
00:32:00.720 And
00:32:00.920 the answer is
00:32:03.080 that
00:32:03.960 we live in a very
00:32:05.120 misandric society.
00:32:07.880 You know,
00:32:08.120 the modern version
00:32:09.200 of feminist equality
00:32:10.280 means that women
00:32:11.560 are equal
00:32:12.120 whenever they want to be,
00:32:14.120 but that men
00:32:14.800 still have to
00:32:15.460 hold their side
00:32:16.300 of the bargain
00:32:16.760 from the 1950s.
00:32:18.280 So
00:32:18.680 women can
00:32:19.660 do whatever they want.
00:32:21.160 They can never
00:32:21.600 be held accountable.
00:32:23.080 They can never
00:32:23.500 be criticized.
00:32:24.820 Men
00:32:25.080 still have to
00:32:26.200 work hard.
00:32:27.140 We still have to
00:32:27.820 do dangerous jobs
00:32:29.240 where we might die.
00:32:30.820 And no matter
00:32:31.260 how badly
00:32:31.840 our wife treats us,
00:32:33.160 we have to keep
00:32:34.000 paying her spousal
00:32:34.940 allowance and
00:32:35.780 child support.
00:32:39.820 So in this system,
00:32:41.960 in this system,
00:32:45.640 if you as a
00:32:47.380 single man
00:32:48.580 decided to
00:32:50.300 go use an
00:32:51.740 artificial womb
00:32:52.560 because you can't
00:32:53.180 trust women,
00:32:54.780 what do you think
00:32:56.460 is going to happen
00:32:57.280 on a social level
00:32:58.700 if that occurs?
00:33:00.000 You know,
00:33:03.200 not too long ago,
00:33:04.960 well actually
00:33:05.380 ongoing,
00:33:06.340 the male birth
00:33:07.280 control is looking
00:33:08.380 like a very
00:33:09.220 probable reality
00:33:11.520 in the near future.
00:33:13.560 The feminists
00:33:14.600 are screaming that
00:33:15.420 men are going
00:33:16.180 to use this
00:33:17.060 to knock women
00:33:18.180 up.
00:33:19.520 They're going to
00:33:20.400 claim that they
00:33:20.940 were on the birth
00:33:21.600 control to knock
00:33:22.800 women up because
00:33:23.380 we all know the
00:33:24.180 sex that lies
00:33:25.100 about being on
00:33:26.040 birth control,
00:33:26.520 the sex that
00:33:27.060 wants to have an
00:33:27.820 oops baby is
00:33:29.020 the male sex
00:33:29.900 and not the
00:33:30.320 female one.
00:33:31.880 Even something
00:33:32.880 as simple as
00:33:33.760 the male birth
00:33:34.380 control pill
00:33:35.160 is generating
00:33:36.820 massive amounts
00:33:38.240 of controversy
00:33:39.700 that is just
00:33:41.340 not there
00:33:41.960 with any form
00:33:42.960 of female
00:33:43.840 reproductive
00:33:45.480 control,
00:33:46.280 up to and
00:33:47.180 including
00:33:47.880 sex-selective
00:33:49.140 abortions
00:33:50.020 amongst
00:33:50.600 Western women.
00:33:52.160 That's perfectly
00:33:52.820 fine, but
00:33:53.820 guys having
00:33:54.860 birth control,
00:33:55.400 we might
00:33:55.740 need to
00:33:56.020 legislate
00:33:56.560 that.
00:33:58.720 If this
00:33:59.460 technology were
00:34:00.160 a reality,
00:34:01.220 it would be
00:34:02.280 legislated
00:34:03.260 out of reality
00:34:05.380 immediately.
00:34:07.280 There would be
00:34:07.780 so many laws
00:34:08.820 put on it
00:34:09.820 saying under
00:34:10.940 what circumstances
00:34:12.060 are you allowed
00:34:12.720 to do this.
00:34:13.820 They would paint
00:34:14.500 all the men
00:34:15.400 that want to
00:34:16.360 use an
00:34:18.020 artificial womb.
00:34:19.020 They'd paint
00:34:19.620 them all as
00:34:20.900 child molesters
00:34:21.980 just looking
00:34:23.680 for a baby
00:34:24.800 to groom.
00:34:26.020 There'd be
00:34:26.700 news reports
00:34:28.200 about these
00:34:28.720 suspicious men.
00:34:29.860 People would
00:34:30.180 look at them
00:34:30.500 funny.
00:34:31.100 Gay couples
00:34:32.060 raising kids?
00:34:33.020 Oh, that's
00:34:33.440 wonderful.
00:34:34.540 Father raising
00:34:35.780 a child that's
00:34:37.000 50% his
00:34:37.880 and 50%
00:34:39.200 from a donor?
00:34:40.280 Oh, now
00:34:40.900 that's creepy.
00:34:43.480 You see,
00:34:43.900 ultimately,
00:34:44.360 this does not
00:34:45.120 solve the
00:34:45.920 fundamental problem,
00:34:47.380 which is that
00:34:48.040 the two sexes
00:34:48.860 are completely
00:34:49.620 out of balance
00:34:50.640 right now.
00:34:51.220 There's a lot
00:34:52.960 of equality
00:34:53.620 between the
00:34:54.220 sexes,
00:34:54.580 but there's
00:34:54.800 no equity.
00:34:56.000 There's no
00:34:56.380 fair dealings.
00:34:58.580 Instead of
00:34:59.380 the double
00:35:00.760 standard,
00:35:02.100 which is
00:35:02.720 appropriate
00:35:03.340 when you
00:35:03.860 have two
00:35:04.460 groups that
00:35:05.660 are statistically
00:35:06.660 distinct,
00:35:08.900 there's a
00:35:09.600 reason why
00:35:10.300 they say
00:35:10.900 don't hit
00:35:11.320 a girl.
00:35:13.900 Instead of
00:35:14.660 having double
00:35:15.220 standards that
00:35:16.140 are appropriate,
00:35:16.800 and likewise,
00:35:18.320 you know,
00:35:18.680 50 years ago,
00:35:19.680 little girls
00:35:21.420 will be told
00:35:21.860 that boys
00:35:22.860 are a lot
00:35:23.240 stronger than
00:35:23.900 you,
00:35:24.620 so don't
00:35:25.200 try and fist
00:35:25.820 fight the
00:35:26.340 boy,
00:35:26.680 you'll get
00:35:27.400 your ass
00:35:27.800 handed to
00:35:28.260 you.
00:35:29.820 Instead of
00:35:30.200 those healthy
00:35:30.840 double standards
00:35:31.620 that recognize
00:35:32.500 differences between
00:35:33.460 people,
00:35:34.200 and use the
00:35:34.740 double standard
00:35:35.500 for equity's
00:35:36.840 sake,
00:35:37.800 we have
00:35:38.700 one standard,
00:35:40.900 which is
00:35:41.740 ultimately,
00:35:42.960 as the male
00:35:44.100 sex,
00:35:44.640 we suffer all
00:35:45.400 the overt
00:35:46.140 consequences of
00:35:47.100 it, but
00:35:48.860 women suffer
00:35:50.080 the spinsterhood
00:35:51.480 and the
00:35:52.480 meaninglessness
00:35:53.580 and the
00:35:55.020 burnout of
00:35:57.340 trying to
00:35:57.820 act like
00:35:58.280 men.
00:35:59.080 So both
00:35:59.680 sexes are
00:36:01.260 being subverted
00:36:02.280 and destroyed
00:36:03.100 by the current
00:36:03.740 standard, and
00:36:04.420 that's the
00:36:05.500 problem.
00:36:06.740 And when it
00:36:07.560 comes to
00:36:07.960 reproductive
00:36:08.420 technology,
00:36:09.420 when it comes
00:36:09.800 to parental
00:36:10.440 rights, when
00:36:11.140 it comes to
00:36:11.520 all of this,
00:36:13.020 as a rule of
00:36:13.740 thumb, you
00:36:14.040 just ask
00:36:14.480 yourself,
00:36:14.940 what would
00:36:15.460 be the
00:36:15.900 worst thing
00:36:16.620 for the
00:36:17.080 children?
00:36:18.060 What sort
00:36:19.660 of social
00:36:21.400 policy would
00:36:22.560 hurt children
00:36:23.640 more?
00:36:25.180 And that's
00:36:25.760 probably going
00:36:26.220 to be the
00:36:26.520 policy that's
00:36:27.300 made legal.
00:36:29.340 So no,
00:36:30.400 technology is
00:36:31.340 not going
00:36:31.720 to solve
00:36:32.360 what is
00:36:33.180 fundamentally
00:36:33.860 a social
00:36:34.740 problem.
00:36:35.900 This is
00:36:36.800 a sort
00:36:37.140 of problem
00:36:37.720 that needs
00:36:38.640 to be fixed
00:36:39.340 by improving
00:36:40.340 the caliber
00:36:41.060 of people
00:36:41.900 we have
00:36:42.460 in this
00:36:42.740 society,
00:36:43.580 and ultimately
00:36:44.340 that comes
00:36:45.300 down to
00:36:45.840 each and
00:36:46.240 every one
00:36:47.020 of us
00:36:47.440 as individuals.
00:36:49.520 If you
00:36:50.840 want better
00:36:51.500 women in
00:36:52.300 the world,
00:36:53.900 demand better
00:36:54.560 women.
00:36:55.400 Don't put
00:36:56.180 up with
00:36:57.200 low-quality
00:36:58.540 women,
00:36:59.560 with dishonest
00:37:00.860 women,
00:37:01.220 with irresponsible
00:37:02.160 women,
00:37:03.300 etc.
00:37:05.120 Demand more
00:37:05.940 out of the
00:37:06.360 women in
00:37:06.740 your life,
00:37:07.920 and if you
00:37:08.320 can't find
00:37:08.820 them,
00:37:10.360 boycott
00:37:10.900 them.
00:37:11.900 You know,
00:37:12.240 if you can't
00:37:12.800 find a single
00:37:13.320 burger joint in
00:37:14.180 town that
00:37:14.900 doesn't put
00:37:15.300 a whole ton
00:37:15.840 of MSG
00:37:16.600 and corn
00:37:17.040 syrup into
00:37:17.600 their meat,
00:37:18.580 don't need
00:37:19.120 any of the
00:37:19.580 burger joints.
00:37:20.900 Boycotts work.
00:37:22.680 But if you
00:37:23.160 do meat,
00:37:25.000 you know,
00:37:25.320 the unicorn,
00:37:27.300 and again,
00:37:28.020 this is not
00:37:28.720 a girl that
00:37:30.120 acts like a
00:37:30.600 man.
00:37:31.380 The problem
00:37:32.060 is we have
00:37:32.520 too many
00:37:32.780 girls acting
00:37:33.320 like a man.
00:37:33.860 If this is
00:37:34.140 a woman that
00:37:34.620 acts like a
00:37:35.140 woman,
00:37:36.020 remember,
00:37:36.560 all women
00:37:36.980 are like that,
00:37:38.040 but one that
00:37:38.620 acts like the
00:37:39.300 way a woman
00:37:39.900 should work,
00:37:40.800 that acts
00:37:41.140 like a
00:37:41.560 virtuous woman.
00:37:43.640 Not a
00:37:44.220 virago,
00:37:44.960 not a
00:37:45.420 virtuous man,
00:37:46.280 but a
00:37:46.640 virtuous woman,
00:37:48.240 then there
00:37:50.540 you go.
00:37:51.780 Try and be
00:37:52.200 the man that
00:37:52.680 earns her.
00:37:53.580 And it's
00:37:53.920 through these
00:37:54.280 individual
00:37:54.900 choices that
00:37:55.980 we all make
00:37:56.660 that we
00:37:56.920 change society,
00:37:58.160 not by
00:37:59.620 hoping for
00:38:00.180 some piece
00:38:01.160 of technology
00:38:01.880 that will
00:38:02.320 completely
00:38:02.920 reset the
00:38:03.580 playing field.
00:38:05.160 Anyway,
00:38:06.620 this has been
00:38:06.940 my video on
00:38:07.880 the consequences
00:38:08.500 of artificial
00:38:09.100 wombs.
00:38:09.600 long story
00:38:11.140 short,
00:38:12.000 it's not
00:38:13.380 a paradigm
00:38:14.180 changer,
00:38:15.020 it's just
00:38:15.520 more of what
00:38:16.300 we already
00:38:16.780 have.
00:38:17.920 Anyway,
00:38:19.820 Irini out.
00:38:40.340 I love it.
00:38:40.560 I love it.
00:38:41.300 All I
00:38:41.540 love it.
00:38:50.200 I love it.
00:38:51.320 I love it.
00:38:52.140 ,
00:38:52.580 I love it.
00:38:54.380 I love it.
