Pearl - What Do Men Get From Marriage Today @The_Crucible

00:00:00.000 I think that every man has a right to live life on his own terms.

00:00:03.560 And you're kind of dodging the question, which...

00:00:05.800 Ask it directly and I'll give you a yes or no.

00:00:07.400 Which is, what's in it for the men?

00:00:09.440 Yeah.

00:00:09.720 What is in it for him?

00:00:12.080 So I'll repeat it again.

00:00:14.200 What does a man get out of which thing?

00:00:16.760 A marriage?

00:00:17.400 Yeah.

00:00:17.920 Yeah, what he would get or what he'd be seeking for a marriage

00:00:20.660 would be a virtuous, non-vexing wife who gave him children was a good mother. 1.00

00:00:24.680 But we agree that most men aren't going to get that, correct?

00:00:28.200 We would agree that...

00:00:28.960 Because that's less than 50%.

00:00:30.940 Yes, we would agree that that is the case.

00:00:32.920 And until conservatives can answer that question for men, it's going to keep going down.

00:00:37.940 I'm not saying it's good.

00:00:39.600 Didn't I just answer the question, though?

00:00:41.220 What?

00:00:42.140 Yeah, so what is it that they're getting out of marriage?

00:00:45.380 Or what is it that they should be wanting and getting out of marriage?

00:00:47.560 Not should.

00:00:48.340 I said, but what are they getting now?

00:00:50.420 Oh, descriptively.

00:00:51.440 Yeah, and that's what I'm getting at.

00:00:54.420 Yeah, but we already agree descriptively that's the case.

00:00:58.160 What I'm after is the next part where we're like,

00:01:00.580 okay, so what the fuck are we going to do about this shit?

00:01:02.960 That's where I'm at.

00:01:04.480 Well, maybe you can start and change the laws and whatever.

00:01:08.760 I just don't see it happening in my lifetime.
