00:00:00.000 So everyone knows the commonly cited Morgan Stanley study
00:00:04.360 that half of women are going to be single and childless
00:00:07.460 between the ages of 25 and 45 by 2030.
00:00:11.460 Now it's 2024, we're six years away,
00:00:14.740 and we're already starting to see this, right?
00:00:18.560 And I had somebody recently say to me
00:00:21.520 that he just expects to be a single parent
00:00:24.880 because that's the way the world is going.
00:00:28.880 and even though this is kind of a gloomy outlook I couldn't help but think he was right
00:00:38.160 and the reason that I couldn't help but think he was right is I'm already starting to see it
00:00:45.240 so let's say half of women don't marry don't have kids okay what happens to the other half of the
00:00:52.720 women. Let's say that, let's be generous here. Half of the women that have kids, let's say a
00:01:02.260 third will be single mothers. I think we all could agree, you know, on both sides. That's probably
00:01:10.400 about true. Now, let's say the two thirds get married. Now, we know that half will divorce.
00:01:18.880 so then you take out that half now you have the third of the half which is like
00:01:25.680 i don't know 15 20 let's just say 20 of women no no that's too high let's say 15 left that stay
00:01:33.400 married we know a quarter of marriages are sexless i would argue that's on the low end
00:01:40.520 So you take out a quarter. I mean, that's maybe five, 10% of people that are married.
00:01:49.920 And it's really interesting because I'm going to keep seeing the cope, right? I'm going to keep
00:01:54.480 seeing everybody say, return to traditionalism, return to traditionalism.
00:02:01.840 And don't confuse this with being my hope. This isn't what I hope to happen. But what seems like
00:02:09.660 and every indication is showing that it's going to happen.
00:02:14.520 We've liberated women to the point that they don't need men.
00:02:17.760 They're given jobs we don't deserve.
00:02:20.220 We're overpaid.
00:02:21.720 And we're given government incentives to leave.
00:02:25.300 So many women have chosen to do that.
00:02:30.160 You know, I'm guessing about a quarter of women by 2030, maybe 2035,
00:02:36.680 will be doing sex work to some capacity.
00:02:39.660 I think you could argue it's already that high with the rise of OnlyFans,
00:02:45.500 but we all know that academia is always going to censor information that makes women look bad.
00:02:51.940 Because you see it in real time.
00:02:54.600 Whenever I say any information that makes women look bad,
00:02:58.020 the gut reaction is, one, what did the men do?
00:03:02.280 And two, something that excuses the behavior.
00:03:08.180 For example, if I talk about women making bad choices, what do you guys do?
00:03:13.000 What does the simpery do?
00:03:14.760 Oh, it's the culture's fault.
00:03:19.100 Oh, oh, oh, it's feminism's fault.
00:03:23.860 It's never the woman's individual choice.
00:03:26.760 Now, what does that tell us?
00:03:28.380 We actually live in a culture that doesn't shame women for doing any of these decisions.
00:03:33.800 You see female single mother influencers on the right.
00:03:38.180 um even and that's the other thing it's interesting because everyone's trying to
00:03:43.820 pretend marriage isn't dead but even amongst conservative influencers many have been married
00:03:49.640 multiple times many are divorced there's single mothers in there so even on the right we can't
00:03:56.280 preserve it doesn't seem like um there's some places that are better than others but across
00:04:03.220 the board as society, it's kind of scary to think about what the future holds because
00:04:10.040 the future is going to be not what I wish it to be, but what every stat that you look
00:04:18.820 at shows it's going to be.
00:04:20.400 If you look at dating app stats, which is the number one way people meet under 30, if
00:04:25.200 you look at the STD stats, it shows women are the ones spreading them, small percentage
00:04:30.240 of men are spreading them it's going to be a lot of sex workers especially if they start pulling
00:04:37.920 away government benefits women will run to sex work a bunch of single mothers
00:04:45.680 and women sharing men women are already sharing men they may not know it or do it publicly but
00:04:52.560 but it's already happening.
00:04:56.120 So when we look at the future,
00:04:59.700 how do you reverse an economy?
00:05:04.920 Guys, 80% of consumer buying decisions are done by women.
00:05:10.760 That is so much money.
00:05:12.460 That is billions of dollars spent marketing and selling things to women.
00:05:17.820 It's all precedented on women being single
00:05:20.860 and them being able to sell stuff to them the divorce industry is like billions it's a huge
00:05:27.880 industry so will that be reversed anytime soon
00:05:33.460 and will women will we stop making these decisions especially when the right and the
00:05:45.920 left will blame everybody else but them for those decisions. I mean, you know, when I was in high
00:05:51.900 school, I tell the story of me, you know, I threw a through a little shindig, I got in trouble for
00:05:57.600 it. You know, never did my dad say, that wasn't your fault. Oh, your friends pressured you into
00:06:05.240 doing this, even though they sort of did. But no, he didn't, he didn't let me that that wasn't an
00:06:12.460 excuse because I made that choice and if the right and the left doesn't shame women or at least
00:06:19.640 tell women or not not allow women to make an excuse like I was young and dumb no no you
00:06:28.960 made those crazy choices because you wanted to then it'll just stay the same so it's a little
00:06:38.500 bit scary when you think about the future, because if that's what 2030 holds, what will
00:06:43.420 2040 hold? Let me know what you think in the comments. Like the video, subscribe. Let me
