00:00:00.000 After decades of complaining, campaigning, and demanding special treatment in the workforce, 0.71
00:00:05.940 in the education system, and government programs, Western women are now doing better than men,
00:00:11.640 or at least that's what they say. And I know a lot of you are going to breathe a big sigh of relief
00:00:17.800 to hear that modern Western women, the most pandered to demographic in all of human history, 0.60
00:00:23.340 are finally surpassing men who built them a civilization. 0.61
00:00:28.200 Today, single U.S. women own 11 million homes
00:00:31.840 compared to single men's share of 8.4 million,
00:00:35.380 a whopping 31% gap.
00:00:37.320 And 47.4 million U.S. women over 24
00:00:41.280 have a bachelor's degree or higher
00:00:43.360 compared to 41.5 million men.
00:00:46.480 That is a 14% difference.
00:00:49.080 And if you isolate for the age bracket of 24 to 35,
00:00:52.440 the gap widens to 12 million women with degrees versus 9.5 million men, a difference of 26%. 0.95
00:00:59.580 So we're good, right? Equality achieved. Are women going to stop complaining? Feminists 0.71
00:01:07.280 everywhere can finally shut up and focus their energies on nose piercings, killing babies, 1.00
00:01:13.660 ruining their skin with ugly tattoos, and being whores. Except the entire thing is a giant fraud. 1.00
00:01:20.860 An empty victory after 80 years of running a doomed socialist experiment. 0.93
00:01:25.780 Far from proving that women are equal to men and their abilities and inclination to succeed, 0.96
00:01:30.540 the girlbossing of the 2020s owes itself entirely to decades of unequal treatment, 0.59
00:01:35.960 social engineering, and special privileges.
00:01:38.860 The fact is, for even moderate success, 1.00
00:01:41.480 women require so much propping up by activists, the government, and millions of unwitting men. 1.00
00:01:48.440 The problem starts in the schools. 1.00
00:01:50.020 The public school system is run by women, from 19th century teachers on the frontier to the 1.00
00:01:56.260 purple-haired feminists of modern day. From the very start, it is structured to favor girls and 0.96
00:02:06.280 disadvantaged boys. Children are expected to sit quietly and learn. Girls obey, but boys learn
00:02:12.560 differently and require more unstructured time for exploration and hands-on activities. Boys don't 0.87
00:02:19.060 want to sit quietly and write on a sheet of paper for six hours a day. In elementary school, boys
00:02:24.140 are punished for their natural behavior and even diagnosed with ADHD and drugged to high heaven so
00:02:30.120 their female teachers don't have to deal with them. Natural boyish behavior is essential to 0.98
00:02:34.820 learning, experimentation, and risk-taking, things that are crucial to later career successes from
00:02:40.340 businesses to the sciences. Instead, those impulses are suppressed. In the 2000s, things got even worse
00:02:47.140 with feminist ideology being injected into classrooms with young boys being told that
00:02:51.880 they were the villain and defective the entire time. The education system tells boys that they
00:02:57.060 ought to be ashamed of themselves and even apologize for the biological sex in school
00:03:02.240 assemblies. Sure, so parents contacted me really furious about what had happened. They told me that
00:03:09.900 their sons were forced to stand up in assembly and apologize for their gender. Unsurprisingly,
00:03:16.620 in elementary schools, girls fare better than boys, at least overall. But when you drill it
00:03:22.040 down, you'll find out that girls do not outperform boys in mathematics, science, or history.
00:03:27.800 Instead, girls excel at subjects like English, which usually just amounts to reading a school
00:03:33.220 board-approved book written by feminists on a feel-good topic, like why it's important to be
00:03:38.520 nice to black people, or that strange boy wearing a dress. And girls also outperform boys in so-called 0.93
00:03:45.640 non-cognitive skills like behaving, doing their homework, and complying with school rules. You
00:03:52.440 might think those things wouldn't be reflected in grades, but behavior and obedience can make
00:03:57.720 a difference between an A or a B on an elementary school report card. The teaching staff of modern
00:04:03.540 American elementary schools are 89% female, which is unsurprising considering modern elementary 0.98
00:04:10.000 school is essentially a glorified daycare. And in these schools, the damage is already done. 0.99
00:04:15.640 Shut Up and Learn by repetition is burned into these kids' brains.
00:04:19.920 It is where many boys learn to avoid further education.
00:04:24.000 Then, in secondary school, more male teachers are required to teach heavier topics
00:04:28.500 that are actually useful to building and maintaining a civilization.
00:04:32.980 But the staff still skews 64% female, 1.00
00:04:36.500 and the plethora of garbage topics and brainwashing remains. 1.00
00:04:40.260 Actually, it intensifies. 0.98
00:04:42.280 Gender is a spectrum. The patriarchy is real.
00:04:44.660 Whites are inherently racist and nobody else is. 1.00
00:04:48.100 Aborting babies is great, liberals are good, and conservatives are bad. 1.00
00:04:52.520 God forbid you should argue with your fat female teacher about any of these ideas. 1.00
00:04:57.480 She might fail you. 1.00
00:04:58.740 Just shut up and write it down, or else risk losing the grades required to enter university. 0.99
00:05:04.100 If you would just get up and teach them instead of handing them a freaking packet, yo. 0.99
00:05:08.780 Numerous surveys of Gen Z students over the past few years have shown that boys reject the ideological trash they are taught in school 0.98
00:05:15.780 and trend increasingly right on the political spectrum. 0.80
00:05:19.800 Meanwhile, girls eat up the propaganda, and the gulf between girls and boys has never been wider.
00:05:25.020 According to the University of Michigan, girls aged 14 to 18 were 230% more likely to identify as left-wing than their male peers.
00:05:33.740 There's no end to the encouragement that high school girls receive to enter higher education,
00:05:39.180 as if a white-collar job was the end-all of human existence.
00:05:43.220 With boys, there's no encouragement.
00:05:45.380 Boys will strive to succeed, or they won't, and who really cares either way? 1.00
00:05:50.100 Never mind the fact that university admissions have a vested interest in meeting a quota of female students, 0.96
00:05:56.140 for which they discriminate blatantly and without consequences,
00:06:00.120 despite it being technically illegal under Title IX.
00:06:03.720 Universities also provide young women with training and programs and scholarships that are de facto not open to young men.
00:06:11.460 And that's how, in 2026, we've wound up with U.S. women holding 60% of bachelor's degrees, 63% of master's degrees, and 57% of doctoral degrees.
00:06:21.980 But wait, as usual, there is a catch.
00:06:25.360 To start off, it's clear that an increasing number of college-age men are seeing college as the scam it is.
00:06:31.140 For 40 years now, the inflation of people attending university in hopes of landing a high-prestige, white-collar job has steadily devalued most degrees in the job market.
00:06:41.120 And universities with ever-inflating and wasteful budgets are desperate to keep this bubble growing for as long as they can.
00:06:48.960 Surveys of young men who reject university most frequently cite being fed up with the education system or a degree not being worth the money.
00:06:56.500 What up, guys? Have you ever wanted to make trades on a real-world event or just stupid 1.00
00:07:01.000 shit in general instead of stocks or crypto? Well, now you can make predictions on how many 0.99
00:07:06.520 followers Clavicular is going to have this year, or will Alex Earl and Alex Cooper be seen together
00:07:11.680 in public? You can make trades on basically anything. Our partner, CalSheet, allows you to
00:07:16.440 make trades on pretty much anything. It's fully regulated, and you don't need a finance background
00:07:21.260 to make trades. There are hundreds of new trades every single day. The link is in the description
00:07:26.440 and use the code PEARL for $10 free towards your first trade.
00:07:30.980 And men are increasingly averse to being saddled with $40,000 to $200,000 in student debt
00:07:36.680 for potentially little to no pay off in the job market afterwards. 0.84
00:07:41.060 Meanwhile, blue-collar jobs may not be as prestigious in the eyes of women, who cares, 1.00
00:07:45.740 but they are often understaffed and with higher pay.
00:07:49.120 Also, technology has changed things.
00:07:51.580 Complex information is no longer locked behind an academic paywall
00:07:55.140 or stored in a university library.
00:07:57.580 A universe of knowledge is at everyone's fingertips
00:07:59.760 via smartphones,
00:08:00.920 and even the act of locating the information
00:08:03.480 can now be done by AI.
00:08:05.300 The detail and complexity you will learn
00:08:07.300 in a typical undergraduate class
00:08:09.140 is pretty thin by comparison.
00:08:11.200 And unless you are doing a heavily technical degree,
00:08:13.860 like in the hard sciences,
00:08:15.160 the average degree today gains you very little
00:08:18.000 beyond your foot in the door
00:08:19.380 with a hundred other candidates for an entry-level job. 1.00
00:08:22.940 Women, however, continue to pursue the social prestige and apparent stability that a university degree seems to offer them. 1.00
00:08:29.860 After all, that's what their fat, purple-haired, cat lady high school teachers told them was important, 1.00
00:08:35.300 that a slip of paper and a job as a glorified secretary in corporate America was somehow going to fulfill them spiritually and philosophically. 1.00
00:08:44.320 Women are getting more degrees overall. 1.00
00:08:46.560 The comparison to men collapses when you look at the actual subjects these ladies are flooding into. 0.55
00:08:52.940 To say that most women are getting their degrees in underwater basket weaving is an understatement.
00:08:58.700 75% of all English majors are female.
00:09:01.800 So are 70% of all liberal arts and general studies majors.
00:09:05.480 90% of gender studies degrees also go to women, as do 75% of race studies degrees and 83% of degrees in queer or LGBTQ studies. 0.70
00:09:17.560 Women are beating men and getting useless degrees and, unsurprisingly, 80% of all education majors are also female. 0.99
00:09:25.380 Because you gotta keep the indoctrination growing, after all.
00:09:28.800 Business and law, two highly prestigious and lucrative areas, have been completely poisoned by DEI initiatives.
00:09:34.680 Law is now 55% female, business is now 50-50.
00:09:39.360 However, finance, which is high pressure, high risk, and requires actual math and analytical skills, is only 20% female. 1.00
00:09:48.280 Meanwhile, modern business school is what gave you Alyssa Heinerschneit, the vice president of marketing,
00:09:54.500 who thought it would be a good idea to give Dylan Mulvaney to represent Bud Light. 1.00
00:09:59.240 Finally, female participation in the hard sciences is incredibly lopsided. 1.00
00:10:04.680 Even after decades of advocacy and straight-up bribes in the form of scholarships to push 0.99
00:10:09.640 women into STEM, most women being people-oriented rather than thing-oriented just aren't as 0.97
00:10:16.080 inclined towards the hard sciences, so they have to be forced, far from it being a boys' club. 0.99
00:10:21.640 Modern science faculties bend over backwards to welcome as many women as possible, even
00:10:27.700 overlooking better qualified male candidates. 0.56
00:10:30.880 Administrators are simply more interested in the good optics of having more women than a meritocracy.
00:10:36.860 Sometimes their jobs depend on reaching a quota. 0.94
00:10:40.380 In biology, the push has been successful.
00:10:43.060 70% of biology graduates are now women.
00:10:46.260 Most of them have a general biology degree, which leads them into teaching,
00:10:50.060 government desk jobs, animal shelters, and environmental activism. 1.00
00:10:54.380 Exactly the sort of stuff women would gravitate towards. 1.00
00:10:57.060 the female share begins to shrink where the breakthrough science is. 1.00
00:11:00.960 60% female in microbiology, 55% female in biochemistry, 0.94
00:11:06.160 and 30% female in evolutionary modeling, which also requires, you guessed it, math.
00:11:12.980 In mathematics itself, despite a desperate push lasting decades,
00:11:18.380 only 35% of graduates are female.
00:11:21.260 the majority of these also pick up an education degree and become math teachers. And in the two
00:11:28.080 subjects that are the most vital to civilization, engineering and computing, women are 23% and 20%
00:11:35.660 of students respectively. And the dropout rate for women is much higher than men's. Fewer women who
00:11:41.320 get those degrees actually work in those fields either. Women getting more bachelor's and master's 1.00
00:11:47.320 degrees in general is a trend that dates back to the 1980s, and women have been earning more
00:11:52.820 doctorates than men since the early 2000s, but a large portion of those are in a throwaway subject
00:11:58.960 like sociology and cultural studies. So it's unsurprising that it is only in the 2020s that
00:12:05.720 women in a particular age bracket in some U.S. cities have finally started to out-earn their
00:12:12.820 male counterparts. But once again, the picture is not that simple. At 2022, Pew Research Analysis
00:12:20.040 of U.S. Census data from 2015 to 2019 found that women under 30 earned more than their male peers
00:12:26.780 in 22 American cities. More recent research in 2024 has tentatively doubled that number.
00:12:33.780 Analysts attribute the gap to women attaining more degrees and landing more entry-level office jobs
00:12:39.120 or going into teaching or nursing.
00:12:41.480 Meanwhile, in these specific cities,
00:12:43.500 typically male-oriented jobs like skilled trades
00:12:46.320 are underrepresented,
00:12:48.160 and by sheer accident of numbers,
00:12:50.340 there is slightly more demand
00:12:51.640 for glorified secretaries, teachers, and nurses. 1.00
00:12:55.480 The gap is not created by a horde of girl bosses 1.00
00:12:58.280 rising through the ranks and becoming CEOs or anything. 0.96
00:13:01.780 They are working more conventionally female jobs. 1.00
00:13:05.360 And when it comes to white-collar professions, 1.00
00:13:07.300 female positions are overwhelmingly administrative, which is the best that a degree in the humanities 1.00
00:13:12.480 or the social junk sciences can really get you. And in over 95% of cities in the United States 1.00
00:13:18.700 with a better balance of different work sectors, men still earn more due to their tendency to, you
00:13:24.220 know, work harder. They enter higher paying fields, work longer hours, and prefer better pay over job
00:13:31.680 security. And that's despite many recruitment drives and quotas in the corporate sector that
00:13:37.000 deprioritize the hiring of men in favor of women. In the cities where women under 30 do have the 0.97
00:13:43.640 lead, it's often by a slight bump, like women earning 2% more in Washington, D.C., where 0.99
00:13:49.360 paper-pushing jobs are abundant. Meanwhile, in Gainesville, Florida, women earn a 10% lead over 0.99
00:13:55.980 men because it's a university town. Women are overrepresented in the University of Florida
00:14:01.960 of staff while men in Gainesville work lower paying unskilled labor jobs outside the university
00:14:07.300 system. There is a relative absence of a business sector in Gainesville and a proportionately lower
00:14:13.520 need for skilled tradesmen. The same goes for Morganstown, Virginia, where there is a gap of 14%.
00:14:19.240 In other words, university women push paperwork and ideological nonsense around the room like a 1.00
00:14:25.760 pack of dung beetles while men keep the lights on and the food stocked at the grocery stores. 1.00
00:14:30.840 The biggest gap is in Winnetachi, Washington state, where it's 20%.
00:14:35.680 While technically a city with a population of 35,000, Winnetachi in reality is a farming economy.
00:14:43.200 It employs a large number of male seasonal laborers, including illegal migrants to work the field.
00:14:49.800 Meanwhile, in a town, a small number of young women work in nursing, teaching, retail, and the service industry.
00:14:56.180 So when the bulk of your young male workforce are slaving away for minimum wage or lower in the case of illegals, it is hardly difficult for young women in air-conditioned buildings to earn more than the average man.
00:15:09.320 Which brings us to why single women in the United States own 31% more houses than single men. 0.69
00:15:15.420 Two big factors are one, women are more likely to get the house in a divorce. 0.96
00:15:20.880 And two, women live longer and keep the houses as widows. 0.96
00:15:24.620 Beyond that, a big factor is that single women are more willing to go into debt in order to buy a house than single men. 0.99
00:15:31.460 Women, even those who aren't girl bosses, but those on the low to middle income averages,
00:15:37.100 are more willing to take on the mortgage for the sense of security and the stability that comes from owning a home. 0.74
00:15:43.600 In a way, it is a sheer nesting instinct. 0.54
00:15:46.340 For the same reason, a girl will think it's a major green flag if a guy she's dating owns a house.
00:15:51.320 But if we have another 2008-style market collapse due to homeowners being unable to pay off their mortgages, you know who to blame. 1.00
00:16:00.780 Single women racking up debt with eyes too big for their wallet, the 31% gap in homeownership has very little to do with female affluence, 0.99
00:16:09.960 and why the average single woman would need a house is beyond me, but how many cats do they have? 1.00
00:16:15.840 And that is what decades of feminism and social engineering and bigoted quotas have gotten them. 1.00
00:16:20.820 A few data points that do not stand up to scrutiny, a world where women are still net negative taxpayers taking more from the government than they give, and where a special treatment and an ocean of HR departments is the only way they can survive in the workforce. 0.94
00:16:36.460 And at the end of it all, according to numerous surveys, women are more miserable than ever. 0.92
00:16:41.600 So congratulations, ladies. You never cease to amaze. 1.00
