00:00:00.000 You know, I hate to say it. It's sad, really. But you need to start off any video like this with a caveat.
00:00:09.000 And the caveat is that individuals are important, but demographics are destiny.
00:00:16.000 Yes, you are a special little snowflake. We all are. We're all unique.
00:00:22.000 But when you take a thousand of us, we adhere to a bell curve.
00:00:28.000 If you're a woman who is brilliant and a writer and an artist and an engineer or whatever you are,
00:00:39.000 this isn't meant to insult you or say that you can't do it or anything like that.
00:00:44.000 We are talking about demographics here. We're talking about a million people. Not you. Or me.
00:00:52.000 I'm talking about the big picture here. So please keep that in mind.
00:00:58.000 So, caveat done with.
00:01:03.000 It shouldn't be controversial to point out that men and women are different, but quite unfortunately,
00:01:09.000 it is very, very controversial to point that out.
00:01:15.000 Every year, every six months, a new study comes out showing that we cogitate differently, that we excel at different tasks, that we emote differently, we relate differently, we sexualize differently.
00:01:32.000 And yet, pointing out this obvious truth that we all know, that men and women are different, is politically incorrect, and people just knee-jerk want to argue with you as soon as you say it, even though they know it to be true.
00:01:46.000 God, go ask any gay man, he'll back me up. Chicks and dudes are different.
00:01:51.000 That said, however, in this video, regarding the economics of women entering the workforce, let's forget about all of it.
00:02:03.000 Let's only look at men and women as being different in their sexuality.
00:02:08.000 Namely that men are primarily attracted to youth, beauty, sweetness, kindness, empathy, all of those wonderful feminine traits.
00:02:25.000 Whereas women are attracted to strength, to wealth, to power, to competence.
00:02:37.000 The word virility stems from the Latin word vir, which meant great man.
00:02:46.000 And a great man was a man of accomplishment, of passion, an alpha male.
00:02:54.000 And the second side effect of that being, quite frankly, women give birth.
00:03:02.000 And tend to be more emotionally available to children than men are, young children.
00:03:14.000 So, with that caveat, and that premacy out of the way, which I hope you don't find hugely morally objectionable,
00:03:24.000 let's move forward with this. Let's look at what happens to an economy, and we're going to be a little bit hypothetical here.
00:03:30.000 We're going to take a hypothetical economy in 1950, where all the men worked, and all the women stayed at home raising kids,
00:03:40.000 to an instantaneous overnight shift to the 2010 economy, where you have essentially 50-50 male-female workplace participation.
00:03:54.000 We're going to simplify it.
00:03:56.000 It did take, you know, probably 30, 40 years before it became 50-50, but we're going to simplify it.
00:04:06.000 What are the effects of this?
00:04:08.000 Now, I would say that there are five major effects from this.
00:04:12.000 The very first one, depressed wages.
00:04:20.000 Now, 1950, our hypothetical 1950, let's say there were a million people.
00:04:24.000 Five hundred thousand of them were working, because five hundred thousand were men.
00:04:30.000 Five hundred thousand were at home not working, not earning wages, not paying taxes.
00:04:36.000 All of a sudden, overnight, all those women, all five hundred thousand of them, enter the workforce.
00:04:45.000 What happens?
00:04:47.000 Depressed wages.
00:04:49.000 You see, here's the thing, is the demand for goods does not change overnight when those women enter the workforce.
00:04:59.000 The demand for houses, for clothing, for food, for entertainment products, for kids' products, that demand remains mostly constant.
00:05:12.000 There might be a slight uptick for luxury goods for women.
00:05:16.000 There might be a slight uptick for housing for single women.
00:05:21.000 But overall, the demand for those goods remains fairly level.
00:05:27.000 Labor, on the other hand, the price of labor, all of a sudden, gets cut in half.
00:05:34.000 You have a million people working now instead of five hundred thousand.
00:05:42.000 The price of labor goes down.
00:05:45.000 That's why, in 1950, a guy could easily afford to support his stay-at-home wife,
00:05:54.000 whereas now, two-income families is the norm.
00:06:01.000 You didn't get any more money by entering the workforce, ladies.
00:06:05.000 You just cut your husband's paycheck down.
00:06:09.000 So that's the first effect.
00:06:12.000 The second effect, it monetized domestic industries.
00:06:24.000 There's a myth, nowadays, about the alienation of suburbia.
00:06:28.000 There's a whole TV series, Desperate Housewives, all about it.
00:06:33.000 And, quite frankly, in today's world, if you're a stay-at-home mom, you know what?
00:06:38.000 You are alienated.
00:06:39.000 You're the only stay-at-home mom.
00:06:41.000 Everybody else drives dutifully down to their corporate, cut-out office jobs
00:06:50.000 and leaves you alone with an empty house and an empty front lawn and an empty street
00:06:55.000 and three kids to look after.
00:06:58.000 So, yeah, it's alienating nowadays.
00:07:01.000 But, in 1950, it was anything but.
00:07:05.000 Homemaking has never been an eight-hour-in-a-day job.
00:07:10.000 Even before all these amazing conveniences, most of which were invented in the 50s,
00:07:15.000 washing machines, dishwashers, running water, microwaves, et cetera, et cetera,
00:07:21.000 even before all of this, homemaking was not eight hours a day, four hours tops.
00:07:28.000 Women weren't sitting around with their thumbs up their asses back then.
00:07:31.000 Your grandmothers were productive.
00:07:33.000 They were involved in community organizations.
00:07:36.000 They would babysit one another's kids for free.
00:07:39.000 The kids would socialize with different adults.
00:07:42.000 They would be pickling cucumbers or they'd be running a little garden in the backyard.
00:07:51.000 They'd be doing all of this different stuff all day, all of this productive stuff that drives society forward.
00:07:57.000 But they wouldn't be getting a paycheck for it.
00:08:01.000 They wouldn't be getting taxed for it.
00:08:06.000 Nowadays, women can't afford to stay home and raise their own kids.
00:08:12.000 They hire a daycare worker.
00:08:15.000 Instead of a volunteer drop-in center to deal with wayward youth, all of a sudden we have this huge industry of paid bureaucrats.
00:08:26.000 It's all getting taxed.
00:08:28.000 It's all inflating those dogfuckers at the top.
00:08:31.000 But I don't really see it benefiting you or me down here at the bottom right now.
00:08:42.000 You women used to create a lot of wealth.
00:08:44.000 Now, you create the same wealth except you're getting taxed for it.
00:08:49.000 And you're raising somebody else's kids.
00:08:54.000 So that's the second effect of women in the workforce.
00:08:57.000 The monetization of domestic industries.
00:09:04.000 Now, the third effect is displacing men from education.
00:09:11.000 Now, once again, if we go back to these immigrants, these one million immigrants that come in.
00:09:22.000 At first they're going to displace the natives.
00:09:26.000 But then the university institution will expand to accept them into it.
00:09:31.000 Right?
00:09:32.000 But that's because the demand doubled.
00:09:35.000 As things stand, demand is not doubling.
00:09:41.000 We have the same demand we did before.
00:09:44.000 And there's only so many engineering positions out there.
00:09:48.000 Only so many scientist positions out there.
00:09:53.000 Now, if we completely ignore biology for a second.
00:09:56.000 And just talk about women as their own merit as individuals.
00:10:00.000 Then, yes, they absolutely do deserve the same opportunity to earn the same income as men do.
00:10:07.000 Based upon their moral beings, right?
00:10:10.000 It's not that simple though.
00:10:13.000 Because of child rearing.
00:10:17.000 Here's the thing.
00:10:20.000 When a man gets an engineering degree, they generally tend to be an engineer for the next 40 years.
00:10:31.000 When a woman gets an engineering degree, it's a crapshoot.
00:10:38.000 Sometimes they are an engineer for the next 40 years.
00:10:43.000 They take full advantage of their training, the mentorship from their bosses.
00:10:47.000 But as often as not, they drop out around the age 27, 28, 30 to raise kids.
00:10:56.000 So all that time and energy invested in how to teach them this very specific skill is utterly wasted.
00:11:11.000 They don't make the most of their training.
00:11:15.000 Be it at university or be it on the job.
00:11:19.000 You train a female manager.
00:11:21.000 She's a great manager for 5 years.
00:11:23.000 And just as you are ready to promote her to district manager, she gets married and goes part time.
00:11:30.000 And maybe comes back in 5 years or 10 years or something like that.
00:11:34.000 It's an immense waste of energy.
00:11:41.000 All of these women that are getting degrees that they never actually use.
00:11:46.000 It's insane.
00:11:49.000 Are we so rich that we can just throw money down the well like this?
00:11:54.000 Learning to be an engineer certainly doesn't help you be a better mother.
00:11:58.000 So that's the third point.
00:12:05.000 Women are displacing men who would maximize their use of education and not making the most of the education they get.
00:12:15.000 This is even getting involved with the fact that most women take utterly useless socially destructive English degrees.
00:12:22.000 Now, the fourth point is that they displace men from wages.
00:12:35.000 So women entering the workforce doing the same work as men, they...
00:12:41.000 I'm sure you've heard the 70 cents on a dollar canard.
00:12:43.000 Actually, women earn about a dollar five for every dollar a man earns on the rare occasion that they work as many hours and as hard as he does.
00:12:53.000 I haven't seen that many female coal miners, is all I can say.
00:12:57.000 But let's pretend it's equal. There's no bias.
00:13:02.000 Alright, so they've displaced men from wages.
00:13:06.000 Men and women now earn the same degree, the same amount of money.
00:13:12.000 And afford the exact same shitty Mazda 3 on lease.
00:13:17.000 Okay.
00:13:19.000 Here's the problem though.
00:13:21.000 Men are attracted to youth and sweetness and femininity and beauty, etc, etc.
00:13:26.000 Women are attracted to status.
00:13:30.000 Women don't want to fuck a loser.
00:13:32.000 Which is normal. Which is healthy.
00:13:36.000 But, when a woman earns her Mazda 3 herself, suddenly any guy with a Mazda 3, he's not up to snuff.
00:13:51.000 By earning as much money as men do, you women limit your available dating pool.
00:13:57.000 All of a sudden, you only find men richer than you attractive.
00:14:01.000 But since it's a meritocracy and there's just as many rich women as there are rich guys, you can't find a guy who's attractive.
00:14:12.000 So, instead of going for the hard-working, beta male, honest, nice guy because he had a really sexy car.
00:14:21.000 All of a sudden, you're so desperate because you can't get the guy at the top.
00:14:26.000 He can fuck whoever he wants.
00:14:28.000 You're going to go for the badass guy at the bottom.
00:14:31.000 You're going to go pursue the biker.
00:14:33.000 You're going to pursue the asshole, the tucker maxes of the world.
00:14:37.000 And, if you do find a nice guy that works the same job to marry, he's not going to turn you on.
00:14:44.000 You're not going to want to be feminine around him.
00:14:46.000 You're not going to be happy around him because he does not make your gina tingle.
00:14:50.000 Throughout history, men spent most of their money on women.
00:15:01.000 Earning a whole bunch of money for women is not a wonderful effect for you.
00:15:07.000 You can buy some nice dresses and some shitty magazines, but that's about all it gets you.
00:15:17.000 Now, I admit that point number four there, that they displace male workers, is a social effect.
00:15:24.000 But it leads up to point number five, which is another economic effect.
00:15:32.000 It disincentivizes men from working.
00:15:36.000 Now, here's something women didn't realize back in the 50s and 60s.
00:15:41.000 These feminists burning their bras and publishing books and showing up on TV.
00:15:48.000 You know what?
00:15:50.000 I know that you women think that what guys do is glamorous.
00:15:54.000 When we're working on a car and we're covered with grease and we're sexy as all fucking hell, it's glamorous, ain't it?
00:16:00.000 Well, the reality is working sucks.
00:16:06.000 Most jobs suck.
00:16:08.000 Most people hate their jobs.
00:16:11.000 And I'm sure that most of you women out there would agree with me on this.
00:16:17.000 You see, these feminists back in the 50s and 60s, they all worked glamorous jobs.
00:16:25.000 They all had university degrees and they published books and they were famous and they were getting so much attention handed over to them.
00:16:34.000 They had wonderful jobs.
00:16:36.000 And you know what?
00:16:38.000 The upper quartile of IQ women can earn glamorous jobs.
00:16:44.000 My ex was a biologist.
00:16:46.000 She got to go study burrowing owls and it was exciting and sexy and fun.
00:16:51.000 But you know what?
00:16:53.000 The vast majority of people out there aren't that bright.
00:16:57.000 Do you know that 50% of them have an IQ below 100?
00:17:00.000 Jobs suck.
00:17:03.000 Most jobs are horrible.
00:17:05.000 I have a pretty good job.
00:17:06.000 I'd still rather be at home making YouTube videos.
00:17:15.000 And so that's the ugly truth of the whole matter.
00:17:18.000 Is that, aside from a few lucky people, working is not fun.
00:17:24.000 So why throughout history have men worked so hard to build empires and dig coal mines and do all this insane drudgery, this mind-numbing paperwork?
00:17:37.000 Why have we done all that?
00:17:39.000 Well, it's because we got to come home to a beautiful, sweet, loving, kind woman and our terrific children.
00:17:49.000 It was worth it.
00:17:51.000 See, that's the sexual system that evolution gave us.
00:17:57.000 Is that we will go through hell and back for the sake of a wife and kids.
00:18:02.000 Now, all of a sudden, because you've displaced male workers, because you're making as much money as men, working at a really, really shitty job does not guarantee one marital bliss.
00:18:15.000 This isn't even getting into the whole divorce industry that makes a profit when people are miserable.
00:18:22.000 No.
00:18:24.000 It doesn't guarantee you happiness having a job anymore.
00:18:33.000 If you're an ADIQ dude, you work at the box factory, guess what?
00:18:39.000 All those ADIQ women are fucking the 100 IQ guys working at the management of the box factory.
00:18:51.000 And very quickly men are figuring this out, that they don't need to work hard.
00:18:56.000 Combined with the sexual revolution opening up lakes across the country for cocks everywhere,
00:19:04.000 it's more efficient for a man to learn game and sleep with a lot of whores than to be a good and loving and loyal husband,
00:19:16.000 because attracting an equal woman is impossible nowadays.
00:19:21.000 An equal woman earns as much money as he does and thus expects a higher status male and won't give him the time of day.
00:19:30.000 So why should men work?
00:19:32.000 We don't require that much money to live.
00:19:34.000 We don't have kids.
00:19:35.000 We just need to pay for our motorcycle and our beer and our video games,
00:19:40.000 and we can chill the fuck out and watch as society declines all around us.
00:19:46.000 Working used to give us the things that meant something to us in life.
00:19:56.000 Nowadays, if you're not part of the top 30% or so, you've got no guarantee of those things.
00:20:03.000 It makes no sense to work.
00:20:05.000 And you women end up working all these horrid, shitty jobs that you hate while bitching with your girlfriends because you can't find a good man.
00:20:18.000 When 50 years ago, when you didn't work, you did find a good man and got to enjoy marital bliss and got to do things that mattered all day.
00:20:27.000 And for those rare women that were artists or scientists, just all around geniuses that had a passion to pursue,
00:20:36.000 they still pursued those passions 50 years ago, 200 years ago.
00:20:40.000 Women have always been part of the workforce when they wanted to be, but they didn't have to be.
00:20:48.000 Now, thanks to feminist social engineering, women do have to be part of the workforce.
00:20:55.000 You do have to support yourself.
00:20:59.000 And because of the effect that earning your own income has on your sexuality, you don't get gina-tingles for equal guys.
00:21:07.000 So guys are lacking the incentive to build empires.
00:21:12.000 Well, let's sit around playing video games instead of conquering the Gaulish tribes.
00:21:20.000 So, was it all worth it?
00:21:25.000 Well, I guess so, because we're equal nowadays, right?
00:21:29.000 Mourinho.
00:21:31.000 Mourinho.
00:21:40.000 So in this moments we were playing video games this afternoon.
