00:00:39.800And I was actually impressed how she stayed calm, composed, cool, and collected.
00:00:45.560So today we're invited her on the show to have a discussion about feminism and some of the topics we might disagree on.
00:00:53.520And I do ask the chat, guys, if you can, as long as the guests are respectful to us, we are respectful back.
00:01:03.160So if you guys super chat, personal attention, you can debate, you can super chat, a difference in opinion.
00:01:11.200But I'm not reading any super chats that are just outright mean, okay?
00:01:15.980You guys do that to me sometimes and I'm just not a fan of it.
00:01:19.140So, you know, that's my two cents from the chat.
00:01:23.280but thank you guys for tuning in welcome to the show Kenzie thank you Pearl I
00:01:30.600appreciate you having me so do you just Kenzie or miss Kenzie what do you prefer
00:01:35.780and Kenzie's fine okay great so first question before you before we get into
00:01:42.360like some of the topics we wanted to go through today how did you get into how
00:01:47.240did you get into debating and how did you end up on whatever podcast um so in december of 2021
00:01:57.240um i was just kind of at home by myself i had recently been introduced to tick tock uh by a
00:02:03.080girlfriend of mine okay and i was just scrolling i normally skipped lives uh within my scroll but i
00:02:09.960happened to just cross one i think it was um big john steel was doing a religious debate and i
00:02:16.600joined that um and then that led to an abortion debate and then the abortion debate and kind of
00:02:24.280the abortion niche is where i really got my start in debating cool so what's your um what's your is
00:02:30.380this your full-time job do you do something because most people aren't able to like talk about these
00:02:36.360topics and i was just curious if you do something during the day or do you do this full-time yes i
00:02:41.800do have a day job okay do they know or what uh no oh they don't i mean it's more it's a hobby at
00:02:50.020this point but um no i i try and keep that separate okay cool do you mind what do you do
00:02:55.320do you do you share or no if you don't it's okay i i don't share okay okay no problem okay so uh
00:03:02.580for this uh conversation we're gonna have debate i i go by the rule no personal attacks so we could
00:03:10.660attack the argument but not each other are you good with that sure okay okay um so since you're
00:03:17.600the guest i will let you pick of the topics we said we were going to discuss which one do you
00:03:23.340have one you want to start with i know i was just going to take my cue from you okay cool so why
00:03:29.560don't we start with women being you said abortion so why don't we start with abortion what what is
00:03:39.700your take on abortion um in what capacity i i guess just to kind of summarize it would be i
00:03:47.220don't think there should be any legal restrictions on abortion really so you think it should be legal
00:03:51.260up to birth correct i would follow the colorado model where there's no laws legislating abortion
00:03:58.940wow that is an extreme position i i don't think so wow so you don't see any problem with them
00:04:07.020aborting like a fully formed like they have a heart like the day before they're born you're
00:04:12.540okay with aborting it yeah so I would just define abortion as the deliberate termination of
00:04:19.020pregnancy so if it's the day before I don't know a scheduled c-section or whatever we would just
00:04:24.280induce birth okay so you would just have them give birth instead of aborting the kid and then would
00:04:31.940they kill it after? Or what would they do with the kid? Well, I don't think abortion is like
00:04:36.960intrinsically this idea that it's designed to unalive the fetus. It's designed to terminate
00:04:41.440pregnancy. Okay. But even when it's fully formed, you would say, but sorry, I'm just, I'm trying to
00:04:51.520go through what you said with it being, you guys make kind of make up all these words and it kind
00:04:58.140it confuses me. So what word did I make up? Well, cause I would just say it's a kid the day before
00:05:04.920it's born. Right. So like that doesn't answer what word I made up. So I, well, it's kind of
00:05:13.100like when you say it's a fetus instead of a baby, like I would call it a baby. You guys would say
00:05:16.940fetus. I understand it's a difference in semantics. Um, again, that doesn't say what
00:05:23.480word I made up, but fetus is just a gestational time period reference. So a fetus is eight weeks
00:05:30.980gestation to birth. So my opinion on abortion is I do give up. I think women have, I think it's
00:05:38.520disgusting. I think it's wrong, but I do think women have fought really hard for abortion and
00:05:45.020I give up if they want to kill their kids. I personally would say that we should make a deal
00:05:50.780with the pro-life people or the pro-choice people and i think we should meet you guys at like three
00:05:56.960to six months would you be open to if we could stop arguing about it a deal at three to six
00:06:03.180months no oh you would say nothing until full birth so i i think it's really interesting when
00:06:13.700pro-lifers is that how you would classify yourself no i've given up i've given up you guys can kill
00:06:19.420your kids. So if you want to, if you want to say, should there be negotiation or middle ground with
00:06:24.080pro-lifers? No pro-lifer can really give me the landscape of what termination and pregnancy looks
00:06:31.180like within the third term. Like at what rate is this happening? Canada doesn't have any restrictions
00:06:37.780on abortion and they have a lower abortion rate than the United States. Yeah. I would say one is
00:06:42.640too many. Like, it's pretty disgusting for me. What does that mean? I would say one abortion
00:06:49.040at nine months is too many. Like, that is disgusting. What does that mean? That one
00:06:55.900abortion at nine months. What do you mean when you say, like, disgusting? Like, what? I feel
00:07:00.920you're just kind of doing an emotional appeal. No, I would say it's, it grosses me out personally
00:07:07.000uh because you're ripping the limbs off one by one crushing the head and vacuuming the kid out
00:07:14.760that's pretty gross have you seen i mean that that's actually not true i would say that's
00:07:20.100pro-life propaganda i there is there is what we call a dne um that does create disarticulation
00:07:28.760but often when we look at abortion within try uh pregnant when we look at termination later
00:07:35.220in pregnancy it's often just induced labor and people give birth to stillborns yeah well i would
00:07:41.700say that's still disgusting okay but but i give up you guys can kill your kids okay yeah i mean
00:07:51.620again this this really to me just doesn't move the conversation any further i think you're just using
00:07:55.540emotionally charged language without any kind of critique well you could say that but this is a
00:08:02.020conversation say that because it's true well this is this is a conversation so i'm giving you my
00:08:07.420opinion i don't right but if we're if okay if that's where you want it to stop so again if you
00:08:16.160do you want to reduce abortion would that be a common goal i've given up i've given up i think
00:08:21.940women want to kill you've given i think i think i think women want to kill their kids so bad
00:08:26.960um that they just they will do anything to kill their kids even abort a kid even abort a kid at
00:08:33.720nine months focus I don't think the focus is like a desire to kill children I think the focus is not
00:08:40.960to be forced to sustain pregnancy and to have control over family planning yeah um I would say
00:08:47.580I would agree with you that they don't want to be pregnant um but I just think that you're kind
00:08:52.980retarded if you get pregnant um when you have iud's birth control uh natural family play like
00:09:01.540i mean you know your your phone it literally tracks when you're ovulating and you have like
00:09:07.940it's like the women the women the women are too dumb the rhythm the rhythm method is the most
00:09:13.700ineffective way to uh what what we would say is birth control that's 60 to 70 percent effective
00:09:20.500if you want to talk about iud's that's great so colorado instituted colorado instituted the lark
00:09:28.760plan b plan b also they can put a pill in your it's just at this point i just it's like men
00:09:36.660invent everything for us to not have kids and we still can't do it you can't get an abortion
00:09:41.820in the first three months there's capitalist barriers that are in the way if we look at
00:09:45.900Colorado. Colorado instituted the LARC program, which stands for Long-Acting Reversible Contraceptives, where they made IUDs free to people 16 to 20, and it significantly reduced abortion rates.
00:09:58.760And the program actually paid for itself because people who would have been forced to sustain pregnancy no longer needed additional state services in order to care for those children.
00:10:10.420so yes if we want to reduce abortion i'm for public funding of long-acting reversible
00:10:16.480contraceptives and all contraceptives but that's like but then see you go back to it this is why
00:10:21.760i think feminists want women uh really women are a protected class in society now you want free
00:10:27.580free birth control really yeah you can't pay for like what you can't pay for your own
00:10:33.740your own like why why does the state have to pay for your decision
00:10:39.280um well number one it stays it saves the state money in terms of welfare programs that are
00:10:48.260needed in order to take care of children who are subjected to poverty and and obviously a state is
00:10:53.800necessary within a system of capitalism okay well we're not talking about capitalism we're talking
00:10:59.400about abortion we are talking about capitalism because you just said why does the state have
00:11:04.600to pay for people it's because i'm saying i'm saying for birth control i'm saying on an individual
00:11:10.600level i don't understand why people are subjected to poverty so therefore they can't afford birth
00:11:19.420control because of capitalism yeah so you want someone else to pay for it
00:11:24.160if it gives them access to health care yes that's an effective system i mean that's how
00:11:30.980private insurance works what are you talking about okay now we're talking about insurance
00:11:35.780well yeah don't don't you like do you support private insurance
00:11:40.860i don't have an opinion on it well i i think you need to fundamentally because this is also
00:11:49.440talking about like private insurance is just a a pooling of um premiums in order to pay other
00:11:56.240people's deductibles and costs okay you would have a fundamental opposing against that if you're for
00:12:02.560people paying for other people's health care i think that if you want to have casual sex that's
00:12:08.080totally fine you're welcome to do that but i do think you should be responsible enough to pay for
00:53:05.260What are you going to talk about, Pearl?
00:53:05.780If men make 80% of the world's stuff and 70% of the food supply and women work less hours, why do they deserve equal pay?
00:53:17.820Because there's labor that they do that is benefit to society.
00:53:21.720Again, when we talk about, like, industries, I think we need to recognize that under capitalism, pay is not determined on necessity.
00:53:30.520It's determined based on profit, which is why I was trying to highlight that teachers are a necessary person for society if we want an educated new generation of workers.
00:53:43.920I would agree with you if they were doing a good job, but there's kids graduating.
00:53:48.540I'm from Chicago, and they're graduating in the city of Chicago, and they can't read.
01:12:01.960Men who are a wage earner and women who stay home, typically men have more leisure time.
01:12:10.400Well, they can make a study that says anything these days.
01:12:16.080Well, that's the Labor Bureau of Statistics.
01:12:18.720Well, again, they can make a study that says anything.
01:12:22.020I mean, you're just going to talk out of your ass, and then when I get a study, they're going to be like, oh, they can just say anything.
01:12:28.780Well, I would just say I kind of look at tendencies of men and women, and men tend to – women tend to over-exaggerate what they do, and men tend to under-exaggerate.
01:12:47.760You just value men's labor, and you don't value women's labor, and that's due to misogyny.
01:12:52.380I would say it's due to women's output, which is less than men's.
01:12:57.780do you want women to have children uh not if they don't want children do you want women to
01:13:04.660have children is that something when like you want to see within society i want women
01:13:10.020i want women that want to have children to have children and women that don't want to have
01:13:15.580children to me too yeah i agree me too so so you think it is essential within society to have
01:13:21.140children, correct? The challenge now is we have an older welfare state, so they don't really know
01:13:28.960how people are going to pay for these old people, but I don't think that's young people's problem,
01:13:34.280to be honest. Well, if we don't have children, we can't replace the workforce, right? That is going
01:13:40.320to be a problem, but I still on an individual level would say that women that want children,
01:13:45.840I would encourage them to have them. If they don't, then I wouldn't. I have seen some pretty
01:13:51.340bad moms in my day, so. Sure, sure. So, I'm just, so this is, again, the issue that I have when we
01:13:58.300don't talk about oughts, because if we're going to say, like, how society ought to be structured
01:14:03.820and what the best function is, then we need to recognize that things are essential. You do say
01:14:08.420the ought, that it is essential that we have housing, and bravo men for making housing,
01:14:13.560But you don't recognize that it's essential that we provide care to people, elderly, health care, and children, and that women shoulder the burden, majority of these things.
01:14:25.000You minimize that effect and label it as it should be a labor of love.
01:14:30.600Who cares that you're not paid, but men are paid for their labor?
01:14:35.820I would say that men are underpaid for their labor and women are overpaid.
01:14:40.860and the reason yeah so the reason i think this is doesn't make any sense because you just add
01:14:48.400okay wait wait you can wait you can wait so the reason i think this is because men make
01:14:55.34080 of the world's stuff 70 of the food supply while there is other stuff that is important
01:15:02.460in society that is the most important because none of the other industries
01:15:07.080would exist without them um there's no there's well wait this is not an ought statement um this
01:15:17.180is an is because men are currently making all of our stuff and our food supply that's that ought
01:15:23.840that is and i would say that is more useful um than the jobs that we listed because society
01:15:32.920would fall apart without it um i forgot the last thing you said i forgot i think you had one more
01:15:40.200statement i was going to respond to but i forgot makes people that's you need an egg and a sperm
01:15:47.400as you said earlier so i would say men and women well make that that's what you need in order to
01:15:52.280create conception but in order to actually create a person there has to be reproductive labor right
01:15:57.560Right, which is typically done by women.
01:16:16.880So I would say that women aren't having kids, so we're not really doing that.
01:16:25.380In terms of raising kids, I would say that the majority of neglect and child abuse is done by women.
01:16:36.120Single father homes have similar outcomes to two parent homes where single mother homes create criminals and a lot of the world's problems.
01:16:46.320So if women were better at raising kids, I would say that, but we're just not doing too good of a job.
01:16:55.380oh sorry why why don't women want to have kids i forgot you asked me that um i don't know it's
01:17:03.660not really my business i mean there's a plethora of reasons go ahead so the statistic you cited
01:17:13.340that single mothers are producing criminals is incorrect and what percent what what percent
01:17:19.760What percent of criminals come from single mother homes?
