Pearl - Traditional Marriage Is a Fantasy in 2025 w⧸ @thisisshah

00:00:00.000 right because you can't even be in a traditional i was actually on a show the other day explaining

00:00:04.720 that you can't be in a traditional relationship because women always have the leverage yeah i 1.00

00:00:09.520 mean you can be um you can be someone who makes a lot of money like you can be a guy with a lot

00:00:16.880 of money and you can ostensibly find some woman who wants to stay at home that's younger but 0.97

00:00:23.440 it can still blow up in the era of no-fault divorce all she you don't even have to be 1.00

00:00:27.200 divorce you can just walk into the child support agency and say hey i'm we're not living in the

00:00:31.600 same house um i want child support and this is what i say the custody is and we will file against

00:00:37.920 them i mean you know when it comes to the top of my head tyrese gibson is someone you know what i

00:00:44.080 think of as someone who makes a lot of money and he found somebody and that didn't end up well i

00:00:48.880 know stephen crowder is another example of a tradcon and they all turned on that guy really fast

00:00:54.640 um yeah i i think it's largely an imbalanced proposal and what they'll do i just heard matt

00:01:01.920 walsh say this and he'll say grandfathers grandfathers and for centuries and centuries

00:01:07.100 you know men provided and women did this and this is what men biologically want to do but

00:01:11.940 they give this very reductionist view of history and it misses a lot of important things you know

00:01:18.480 like one of the rabbit holes i've been going down on my channel is uh the dowry and the history of

00:01:22.480 the dowry. And wherever you see monogamy, you see the dowry. And the dowry is essentially a

00:01:30.060 transfer of wealth that happens at marriage, but it happens from the bride's side, and it goes to

00:01:35.520 that new couple. So it's pretty much an endowment on the woman, and it says, you're leaving this

00:01:40.120 family, your family has this much money for you, and this is to help set up the new household.

00:01:44.760 So in certain places like Greece, Cyprus, a typical dowry would be a fully furnished house, 0.93

00:01:50.960 a paid off house you know that that was the expectation for a middle-class family
