Radio 3Fourteen - Trad Women vs. the Feminist Lifestyle

00:00:00.000 Thank you for listening.

00:00:30.000 This is Radio 314 on the Red Ice Radio Network.

00:01:00.000 And also modern problems concerning us white women.

00:01:05.440 Ayla is a stay-at-home, homeschooling mother of five children.

00:01:08.560 She's passionate about European culture, history, and sovereignty.

00:01:12.460 She earned her bachelor's degree in German and also women's studies with a minor in anthropology.

00:01:17.700 She's part of the LDS Church, and so she'll share some pagan elements within the practice as she was a pagan before becoming Mormon.

00:01:25.180 And since she's a homeschooling mother of five, she'll share some tips for other homeschoolers.

00:01:29.640 Ayla, her wife with a purpose, coming up. 0.90

00:01:31.880 Welcome, Ayla. Thanks for being here.

00:01:33.960 Thank you for having me.

00:01:35.100 So I have to ask, what's your ethnic background? Are you German or English?

00:01:38.240 I'm a lot. Being American, I am Swiss, German, English, Irish, and then my grandmother's grandmother was Native American.

00:01:52.100 So I've got a little bit of Powhatan Confederacy way, way back there.

00:01:58.060 And then my husband is Scottish, and so I've kind of taken on that as part of my identity as well.

00:02:03.020 So I typically consider myself just extremely Northern European.

00:02:07.860 Not a bad thing.

00:02:09.780 So Wife with a Purpose, that's the name of your YouTube channel. 1.00

00:02:12.900 So what inspired you to create the channel?

00:02:16.840 I'm extremely opinionated, and I like being on Twitter to kind of get my opinion out and kind of get things off my chest.

00:02:25.080 And the 140-character limit reigns me in a lot.

00:02:29.680 And I actually was giving a talk at my church just a few months ago, and somebody complimented me on my voice and said,

00:02:36.900 Oh, I could just listen to you all day.

00:02:38.440 You should have a radio show or a podcast or something like this.

00:02:42.180 And so I actually thought about at first trying to start a podcast, but I'm not technology savvy enough to have actually figured out how to do that.

00:02:50.600 And so YouTube was really easy and simple.

00:02:53.680 And so I just thought, well, I'll just start venting on YouTube a little bit some of my longer opinions that are more complicated and won't fit on Twitter.

00:03:03.820 And so that's kind of how that got started.

00:03:05.820 Well, you do a great job.

00:03:07.220 And one thing I'm curious about is, tell us about your transition from liberal to conservative.

00:03:12.460 That doesn't happen often.

00:03:14.220 No, it doesn't.

00:03:15.280 It's a long story, but essentially what happened to me is I was just raised in a very liberal environment.

00:03:23.140 My hometown is Las Vegas, Nevada, which has obviously a huge liberal influence.

00:03:29.960 I went to an extremely liberal performing arts high school with a lot of liberal ideas, a lot of liberal teachers.

00:03:37.180 Went on to get my undergraduate degree in a liberal arts field.

00:03:41.220 My undergraduate degree is in German with a minor in anthropology.

00:03:43.860 So, again, liberal professors, liberal environment.

00:03:48.380 Then went on to get my master's degree in San Francisco, actually.

00:03:52.700 So, again, more liberals.

00:03:54.580 Yeah.

00:03:54.820 Right.

00:03:55.260 So just liberal, liberal, liberal.

00:03:56.640 And they just kind of spoon fed me my whole life, to be quite honest.

00:03:59.860 And I was extremely interested in academia.

00:04:03.960 But I didn't really start doing my own independent research until graduate school.

00:04:08.560 I just kind of accepted what my professors told me.

00:04:11.580 And I kind of just idolized them and their knowledge that I thought that they had.

00:04:17.020 And so I didn't research things.

00:04:18.540 And once I got to grad school and I started researching things independently and actually trying to be more academically rigorous in my own information gathering, that's when things started to crumble for me.

00:04:32.480 Both from a point of academia, but then also at the same time, I was very much immersed in this San Francisco culture.

00:04:40.320 And we actually, I went to school in San Francisco, but we lived about three hours north in a small rural farming community north of San Francisco.

00:04:48.300 And it was kind of where a lot of the hippies of the baby boomer hippies of the 60s had gone to retire.

00:04:54.460 And so it was a little microcosm of, like, their values and about two or three generations of their values living in this one little area.

00:05:05.320 And so I was very steeply immersed in what actually happens to community when liberalism is the pervasive value structure.

00:05:16.380 And I saw the destruction of that and what it wrought upon families and communities.

00:05:21.980 And so those kind of, those two things kind of came together to start having me research other things.

00:05:31.260 And I kind of had always been a traditionalist at heart, was one of the big things.

00:05:35.540 I had always been pro-life and I had always been pro-family.

00:05:39.320 I wanted to be a mom.

00:05:40.280 I wanted to be a stay-at-home mom.

00:05:41.620 I wanted to be a homeschooling mother.

00:05:42.960 And those belief systems that I held even when I was liberal didn't mesh with liberal politics or liberal society or their ideal of how things should be.

00:05:55.260 And so eventually those core values and belief systems that I had still held on to sort of guided me in the next process to say,

00:06:04.380 you know, it's really traditionalism and conservative values that I actually hold for myself when I'm not just regurgitating what my college professors had told me.

00:06:15.620 Well, I'm glad to hear that because it seems, you know, a lot of the conservative kids, they go to college and then they come out of school because it's all just liberals in college everywhere, you know.

00:06:25.840 And then they come out liberals and they think they're so enlightened and so original and better than everyone else.

00:06:30.800 But really, they're just completely brainwashed, don't you think?

00:06:34.980 Exactly.

00:06:35.820 I completely agree.

00:06:37.300 And I often wonder had I just gone through the academic portion of it and not got to witness firsthand several generations of extreme liberal values within a community.

00:06:47.820 If I had only gone through the academic portion, I hope that I still would have come to the same conclusions and been able to have been self-aware enough and self-reflecting enough to have done real research

00:06:59.440 and discovered some of the truth behind some of these brainwashing issues that are out there.

00:07:03.700 But it really helped me to see just right in front of my face every day the destructiveness of that value system and what it does to a community.

00:07:13.380 It's true.

00:07:14.120 And this really, this fake value system of liberalism, it's everywhere.

00:07:18.600 It's in media, it's in entertainment, it's in education.

00:07:21.340 It's really just so mainstream, too.

00:07:23.620 So I laugh when these liberal kids think that they're being the counterculture when it's just like, no, everyone is, is completely brainwashed in the same ideals right now.

00:07:33.520 Exactly.

00:07:34.320 Exactly.

00:07:34.980 It's, it's like when I see a young teenage girl with blue or purple hair and I think that's not original anymore.

00:07:42.460 You know, years ago that was original, but you're not, you're not unique anymore when you're doing that.

00:07:49.200 Yeah, it's, it's interesting.

00:07:50.720 Well, how did you go from pagan to Christian since these days it really does seem to be the reverse. 0.81

00:07:56.940 I went from Christian back to, you know, my pre-Christian route. 0.95

00:07:59.700 So how did it happen for you?

00:08:01.760 Yeah, that, that's a complicated one, too.

00:08:04.180 It's a long story.

00:08:05.200 But essentially what happened with me is I became kind of what I call a Barnes and Noble pagan.

00:08:13.340 Excuse me.

00:08:13.980 I was a Barnes and Noble pagan.

00:08:15.300 And I, I had in my teenage years gone to Barnes and Noble and just kind of bought some books on paganism and read them and decided that's what I wanted to do.

00:08:25.100 And, and it was, it was very much just the, the new age version of paganism and the hippie liberal paganism.

00:08:34.320 It wasn't traditional paganism.

00:08:36.860 It wasn't really based on, you know, a lot of actual ancient practices in, in Europe or European culture.

00:08:43.520 It was more just that, um, hippie dippie, um, you know, tarot card feelings based, uh, thing.

00:08:51.480 And so anyways, um, it, it was very similar to my conversion from being, going from being a liberal to conservative because I was, um, being a pagan was very much part of my being a liberal.

00:09:02.140 And so when I started investigating, um, some of the, uh, conservative ideas and getting more into that, it naturally led me to look at my spiritual philosophy and wanting to be more logical about that and be more rigorous about that.

00:09:21.560 And, and not to say that paganism, paganism is illogical.

00:09:24.960 I'm not, I'm not making that claim.

00:09:26.360 What I am making the claim though, is that the, the, um, that kind of fake new age Barnes and Noble paganism is illogical.

00:09:34.600 Oh yeah, I agree completely.

00:09:36.120 Right.

00:09:36.840 So, um, it, it led me to really examine that.

00:09:40.800 And so I, I got really turned on to professors such as John Lennox and then, um, apologists such as C.S. Lewis.

00:09:47.240 And I really loved their blend of, um, philosophy, theology, mathematics, science, quantum physics.

00:09:56.000 I, I wanted something that felt really meaty and real, that was more measurable.

00:10:01.620 It was more scientific.

00:10:02.680 And I found that very much in Christianity.

00:10:05.120 However, that having been said, I didn't become a traditional Christian.

00:10:08.660 I didn't become a Catholic or an evangelical Christian.

00:10:11.140 I became a Mormon Christian, which is, uh, a huge difference.

00:10:16.120 And, um, a lot of people, of course, Christians, a lot of Christians wouldn't consider me a Christian.

00:10:21.280 They would actually consider me pagan because, uh, a lot of the beliefs within Mormonism match up quite well with paganism.

00:10:29.760 And what was interesting to me was when I was researching paganism and, and being more rigorous about that, some of those wonderful ancient traditions like seer stones and, um, things like that, uh, shamanic practices that felt authentic and, and real and had some, um, quantum physics aspects behind it.

00:10:50.460 And some, some, some reality behind it for me felt like reality behind it were things that I also found within the LDS or the Mormon church.

00:10:57.460 And so, um, that, that they, those things lended themselves easily to, to get to the point where I'm at now.

00:11:04.640 And I, I definitely call myself a Christian, consider myself a Christian, but most Christians would not consider me a Christian.

00:11:09.000 Yeah, that's interesting.

00:11:10.960 I've heard that before from other Mormons too, saying that there actually is some similarities, some ideas that have been carried from, you know, pagan or pre-Christian times.

00:11:20.460 So what are some of those ideas?

00:11:22.420 Oh, definitely.

00:11:23.320 Well, um, the, the original, um, prophet of the restoration, as we call him, Joseph Smith, the one who began what we call the Mormon church, um, back in the 1800s, mid-1800s.

00:11:32.920 He was, he very much, um, his life story and his life journey lines up more with, uh, like an, an ancient, uh, pagan shaman than it does really, uh, a, a preacher, a, you know, a Baptist preacher, uh, or, uh, a priest or, um, one of these sorts of Christian figures.

00:11:52.740 He was born, um, on a full moon.

00:11:55.540 He was born in the call, which means he was born with his, um, with the embryonic sack still intact.

00:12:01.840 He came out completely intact and that's, um, and paganism considered to that, that person has, um, got a little bit of the veil between the worlds is a little thinner for that person than they have, um, uh, they're better in tune with spiritual matters.

00:12:16.280 And in fact, his father, Joseph Smith's father had saved part of his, um, embryonic sack and dried it out as kind of a talisman.

00:12:23.260 And his mother was, uh, a palm reader and, um, um, cast, uh, actually did some, uh, a little bit of ritual magic here and there.

00:12:32.240 His father was a universalist, went to the universalist church.

00:12:35.280 Um, anyways, I, I could go on and on there.

00:12:37.560 The way he translated the book of Mormon is very fascinating because he used seer stones, which were stones that were procured under kind of, uh, um, uh, a shamanic journey that you take in nature.

00:12:48.300 They're river stones that have been naturally worn by water.

00:12:52.660 And that lines up with a lot of Celtic, ancient Celtic beliefs about how to peer into what they would call the fairy world.

00:12:59.100 And then, um, the, another, another aspect would be, of course, the Mormon temples have pentagrams on them.

00:13:05.880 Anyways, I actually could go, that could be an entire episode in and of itself.

00:13:10.240 One of the big things though, that drew me was the concept of heavenly mother.

00:13:13.640 So Mormons are Christians that believe we have a heavenly father, but we have a heavenly mother as well.

00:13:17.780 And we quite often reference our heavenly parents as being, um, we're spirit children of our heavenly parents.

00:13:24.420 And that sets us apart from a lot of mainstream Christianity.

00:13:27.520 And that for me was a big deal because I had just a very strong personal testimony of there being a divine feminine.

00:13:33.480 And that's, um, been a huge part of my, my life and my spiritual journey.

00:13:37.840 So that resonated really well with me.

00:13:40.200 And actually when some of my pagan friends would, would criticize me for, uh, joining a Christian, what they consider to be a Christian tradition.

00:13:47.320 Um, I said, I'm joining the largest church in the world with 14 million worldwide members that believes in a goddess.

00:13:54.600 So don't call me down on the, on that side of it.

00:13:59.520 I like that because a lot of, yeah, Christianity has been very male oriented, whereas our ancestors weren't like that.

00:14:06.900 They honored both the masculine and the feminine, you know, they had their deities that were both female and male.

00:14:12.220 So I like that.

00:14:12.940 It's an interesting aspect to it.

00:14:15.020 Yeah.

00:14:15.480 Yeah.

00:14:15.800 Me too.

00:14:16.540 So I have to ask, are you noticing the all out attack on, on white people, on culture and ancestors in America?

00:14:24.060 I mean, what are your thoughts about this?

00:14:26.140 Oh yeah, definitely.

00:14:27.600 I've noticed it since I was a teenager back in the nineties when I was in high school.

00:14:32.060 Um, I was in an international studies program in high school.

00:14:36.460 So I was studying foreign languages and I've always been a culture junkie and a language junkie and a religion junkie.

00:14:41.380 I love studying all of those different things, um, worldwide.

00:14:44.960 And, um, I noticed that it was always, um, totally fine to have, um, clubs and organizations centered around black youth, Latino youth.

00:14:55.560 We could have Asian Island Pacific her month, but, um, the second you started talking about white heritage or white culture, whether that was German, Irish, um, French, it seemed to me that that was for everyone.

00:15:06.720 That was accessible for everyone.

00:15:07.920 So for example, I, I wouldn't be able to join an African American literature class.

00:15:13.280 And in fact, in college, I asked to join an African American literature class simply because I was fascinated with the cultural aspect of it.

00:15:20.420 I wanted to know what they were studying.

00:15:21.900 What were they reading?

00:15:22.700 What, what, how did they feel?

00:15:24.180 I was told by the professor essentially that I, you know, I wasn't allowed to, I was white.

00:15:29.980 But when it came to things like German club, both in high school and college, which I was, I was very active in, uh, German club was for everyone.

00:15:37.900 German club wasn't just for white kids or kids with German heritage.

00:15:40.420 It was just about language only was, it was specifically about the language and then maybe some beer and some bratwurst.

00:15:46.180 And that, that was about it.

00:15:47.640 And anyone can join and, and, but that wasn't true of the other, the other communities and cultures.

00:15:53.380 And I always felt quite slighted as a young person, particularly being a white middle-class American girl of, um, of a, a mixed European heritage.

00:16:05.200 I wasn't just Irish or just German or just Swiss.

00:16:07.980 I couldn't hold on to just the one.

00:16:09.860 And I kind of wanted a white culture and a white identity, but, um, I was told, you know, over and over again, of course, that that wasn't allowed.

00:16:17.460 I mean, in fact, the very fact that I even got my, my bachelor's degree in German cast, um, bad glances my way.

00:16:27.200 Like you're a Nazi or something, right?

00:16:28.720 Well, exactly.

00:16:29.400 I was with a Jewish woman at one person, at one point who, when she found out my, my major in college was German, um, would basically not speak to me anymore.

00:16:39.280 And I, I said, studying the language in the literature, I'm not, you know, joining the SS.

00:16:44.400 I don't, you know, I don't understand your perspective.

00:16:47.760 And, and obviously the, their history there is complicated, but I, I always thought, well, it's very interesting that it's, it's perfectly fine to dump on white culture and white identity and to not allow them to have that identity unless it's a joke. 0.64

00:17:00.380 And, um, and yeah, it's just amped up since the social justice warrior movement came along and, and, uh, we all have to be victims and there has to be, um, there has to be something that's evil.

00:17:11.400 And of course, you know, white people and white males, they've become what our society has decided is evil, keeping them down. 0.71

00:17:19.060 And, and it allows people not to take personal responsibility for themselves or their communities and to just, um, to blame whitey. 0.89

00:17:26.520 And unfortunately white people, we've gone right along with it for the most part, you know, we've gone ahead and accepted, uh, this, this notion of white guilt and, and that's where we're at today.

00:17:36.560 Yeah. It's interesting. You say that, you know, white culture for everyone and it's becoming that way with countries too. 0.57

00:17:41.820 I've traveled around to many European countries and it's, you know, Africa, Africans can have Africa, Asians can have Asia, but white countries are for everyone, right? 0.96

00:17:52.180 Oh yeah, exactly. And, and I've had that personal experience myself and that I have, um, very close family friends, um, over in France.

00:18:00.780 And so growing up, I went over there with my grandmother and an aunt and I went and spent time with them.

00:18:06.220 And, and I remember in France in the late 1990s, um, you know, they had a Muslim population obviously, um, but it was mostly domestic servants, you know, maids in your hotel or whatever.

00:18:17.120 And over, over where I was living in the Southwest of America, we had a similar situation where we had Latino immigration, but again, it was fairly small, even still at that point.

00:18:26.980 And they were mostly domestic servants working as maids in hotels and et cetera. 0.63

00:18:30.600 And it was interesting to me to flash forward 15 years later and look at how both those populations in both of our countries have absolutely exploded and taken over.

00:18:41.200 And I live in a very small rural town in Utah and half of my block that I live on is Latino.

00:18:49.360 Really?

00:18:50.080 Yes. And, you know, when you think Utah, you think about as white as they come. 1.00

00:18:54.340 Yeah. I thought that was Mormon land.

00:18:56.200 Yeah, it's, it is. And, um, but it's, it's very interesting how it's just exploded everywhere.

00:19:03.200 And, and my father's family's from Tennessee and I remember being a little girl and them talking about how, um, oh, we, we have a Mexican now on, in our neighborhood.

00:19:12.400 And that was, uh, considered an anomaly. There just weren't Mexicans in Tennessee.

00:19:17.440 You know, you had Mexicans in California, you had them in Arizona, you didn't have them in Tennessee. 0.99

00:19:21.500 And now there, I mean, there's entire neighborhoods in, in the South and Tennessee, Virginia that are completely Hispanic and, you know, with their own markets and everything.

00:19:33.640 And they've just really taken over.

00:19:35.540 And so I noticed that the similarities and of course with the refugee crisis that's going on in Europe, which was kind of my personal last straw as far as not being more outspoken about white culture and, and white pride and, and, and, um, wanting to preserve my, my culture and my heritage.

00:19:50.780 And I, I look at my five children and think, what are they going to have to look, look to, where are they going to have to, I mean, I was allowed to go, I was able to go to Europe and I was able to visit and I was able to see where my, my people came from.

00:20:02.700 And, um, are my children even going to have that opportunity?

00:20:05.980 Are they, are they even going to, is there going to be a white homeland for my children once they're my age?

00:20:10.500 I don't know.

00:20:11.480 It's a nightmare.

00:20:12.120 I was just talking about this with my husband tonight thinking like, what's it going to be like for our children?

00:20:17.180 And what, what kind of, what kind of life are they going to live?

00:20:20.180 What kind of opportunities are going to be there?

00:20:22.020 Is it going to be just completely run down with, with no future for them?

00:20:25.940 This is why we have to act on it now.

00:20:27.860 You know, it's very, very frightening to me.

00:20:30.220 Some days I look around and it's just like a nightmare, you know, how do you handle it?

00:20:34.860 It is, it is.

00:20:35.960 Well, I, I vent on YouTube, but that's one of the ways that I get my opinion out there and that helps me feel a little better.

00:20:42.860 But yeah, and you know, I think one of the dangerous things too, and, and some people will say, well, who cares if whites have a homeland and, oh, you know, population shift and this sort of thing.

00:20:51.940 But I think that people don't understand, well, I know that they don't understand the contribution that white people have made to the world.

00:20:58.960 We, we, our ancestors were the inventors of industry and technology.

00:21:05.300 And if you, if you just do a quick Google search and you, you say, you know, what person has saved the most lives in their lifetime, you know, and you look at these people who invented things like the smallpox vaccine and chlorinated water and fertilizer for agriculture and who are credited with saving millions, if not billions of human lives.

00:21:23.580 These were mostly German and, and, and British white men.

00:21:28.100 And this is, you know, where that came from.

00:21:30.980 And, and it's a really frightening prospect globally, not just for white people, but for people of racial background, it's a frightening prospect to think that there won't be a white culture anymore.

00:21:43.540 Penicillin, painkillers, cancer research.

00:21:46.440 This has all come from white people and white civilization. 0.99

00:21:50.140 And for whatever reason, it doesn't come from other races and cultures.

00:21:54.980 And for whatever reason that is, that's just the reality.

00:21:57.620 And people need to realize that when we, if we lose the Germans, we lose the British in particular, we lose the rest of Europe.

00:22:05.960 We are losing industry and technology that is life saving and life sustaining.

00:22:11.860 And we're all going to end up in mud huts with sticks, if that happens.

00:22:17.360 No, I agree.

00:22:18.180 I agree.

00:22:18.700 And today has just been a really heavy day for me because I've been thinking about these things.

00:22:22.260 I feel it.

00:22:22.860 I feel the spirit of what's to come.

00:22:24.480 And I, it's like you can do a political and social forecasting, just looking at the path that we're currently on.

00:22:30.400 And if this continues and if there's less and less white people and we're not around and we don't have countries, exactly.

00:22:37.100 It could go back into some real dark times.

00:22:39.320 And I just worry what kind of future that's going to be for our children.

00:22:42.420 Is it going to be violent?

00:22:43.700 And then I think, I mean, I'm going to be an old lady, you know, 30, 40 years from now.

00:22:48.100 What's it going to be like when I'm old?

00:22:49.720 Who's going to, who's going to treat me well?

00:22:51.540 Is there going to be a welfare system in, in Sweden?

00:22:54.380 You know, we live in Sweden part time for the people who have paid taxes their whole life.

00:22:57.920 Where is it going to be gone?

00:22:59.040 Who's, who's going to take care of them?

00:23:00.540 You know, these are thoughts that I've been having heavily today.

00:23:04.160 Yeah.

00:23:04.680 Yeah, exactly.

00:23:05.540 I completely agree.

00:23:06.760 It's, it's, it is frightening.

00:23:08.080 And I wrote on Twitter a week or two ago, there was a hashtag about, you know, I think it was like scary ideas or scary thoughts or something like this.

00:23:17.720 And I said, a world without Germans, like that pretty scary thought, you know, because if you look at, yeah, at innovation and technology, 1.00

00:23:27.260 it was Nordic Europeans doing it. 0.56

00:23:29.360 It's Nordic Europeans still doing it. 1.00

00:23:30.960 And if we don't have them, we're all, we're all pretty screwed to be quite frank. 0.89

00:23:35.860 That's right. 0.69

00:23:36.480 That's right.

00:23:36.960 That's why today we're just kind of brainstorming.

00:23:39.040 I'm thinking it might come down to people having to plan, plan ahead, you know, live in the system, but plan behind the scenes.

00:23:45.460 Because things might crumble one day.

00:23:46.800 You might need to get property with friends and start becoming, you know, self-sustaining and having your little kind of survivalist communities.

00:23:53.420 Because we can't anticipate what might happen, you know, and I'm talking not necessarily maybe in our lifetime, but for your kids.

00:23:59.640 So we have to start making those plans now.

00:24:02.760 Exactly.

00:24:03.400 Yeah, I couldn't agree more.

00:24:04.580 My husband and I live on a quarter acre, mostly so that we can have a huge garden.

00:24:09.580 We also own another acre of land for gardening.

00:24:14.160 We live in an adobe brick house with passive solar design.

00:24:17.560 We're getting solar panels at the end of the year.

00:24:19.540 So we're preparing because really we see this coming down and we want to preserve something for our children.

00:24:25.180 We want our children to be able to get by, to be able to survive in what is increasingly becoming a third world global community as the immigration continues. 1.00

00:24:37.720 That's right.

00:24:38.360 Well, I'm really glad to hear that you're preparing and thinking the same way.

00:24:41.180 And I hope that a lot of other good people out there are also doing that.

00:24:44.840 Well, if we switch gears a bit, I wanted to know, what are your thoughts on social justice warriors, who, in my view, are the nails in the coffin of Western society?

00:24:55.000 Exactly.

00:24:55.740 They really are.

00:24:57.040 And the social justice warrior philosophy is really what crawled inside the dead husk of white identity. 0.96

00:25:05.880 When we took away the ability for white middle class people to have a strong sense of identity and pride in their culture, their heritage, their religion, and et cetera, we created a vacuum. 0.56

00:25:21.920 And that happens within any community.

00:25:24.360 It's not just white people.

00:25:25.420 If you took away Asian traditions from the Asians, if you took away Latina traditions from the Latinos, you would create a husk of a being that feels like they have no purpose, they have no past, they have no ancestry, and therefore they have no future. 1.00

00:25:45.200 And so they have to acquire an identity.

00:25:49.720 It's just a human drive to acquire an identity.

00:25:53.000 And right now the only identity that's considered politically correct for a white middle class person to claim is one of these identities that falls under the umbrella of social justice warrior, and the two most prominent being the homosexuality or feminism.

00:26:10.680 And both of those communities, the homosexual community and the feminist community, come with their own sense of pride. 0.64

00:26:20.820 They have their own history background.

00:26:23.400 They have their own heroes of their movement.

00:26:25.440 They have their own flags.

00:26:26.920 They have their own terminology, their own communities, both locally, especially if you're in a larger city, and, of course, online.

00:26:35.100 And that gives people a purpose and an identity, and they cling to that above all other things because they've been completely stripped of their real identity and an ability to feel proud about their own people and their own heritage.

00:26:51.480 And then, of course, for the minorities who are not white and middle class but are maybe Asian, mixed race, African American, et cetera, who are joining the social justice warrior movement, I think it is a subconscious way of not taking – I don't think that most of them are conscious about this.

00:27:12.380 But it's a way of taking no responsibility for your own life.

00:27:15.260 It's really an easy way out.

00:27:17.900 They get to blame, you know, whites or Christians or men or patriarchy or whatever it is when anything goes wrong in their life.

00:27:26.840 They don't have to take any personal responsibility.

00:27:29.180 And it kind of reminds me of the movie stars that when they get pregnant, they go and they go into the hospital and they just get their automatic C-section.

00:27:40.560 And so they don't have to push.

00:27:42.280 They don't have to risk anything.

00:27:44.080 They don't have to break a nail.

00:27:45.920 They just, you know, cut the baby out and everything else.

00:27:49.220 And they completely absolve themselves of responsibility for the birth of their own child.

00:27:54.040 And that way, if something goes wrong because life is life and things go wrong no matter who you are or where you're at, they can absolve themselves from guilt.

00:28:04.260 Well, you know, they were where they were supposed to be.

00:28:06.620 They were what they're supposed to be doing.

00:28:07.900 The pervasive cultural narrative is that they were following all the right rules and therefore they are completely absolved from guilt.

00:28:14.260 However, if a mother was to give birth at home or without medication or took any kind of personal responsibility for her own birth, the birth of her own child, then if anything goes wrong, it's automatically the mother's fault.

00:28:26.240 And that's how our society, for some reason, seems to be structured.

00:28:29.400 And therefore, people want that safety net.

00:28:32.940 They want that safety net of someone else to put it on.

00:28:36.820 They need somebody else to have the responsibility.

00:28:39.740 And so I think that's where that part of that segment of the population is coming from as far as really gravitating toward the social justice, social justice warrior movement.

00:28:49.160 It's true what you said, too, that they're they're cut off from anything ancient.

00:28:53.320 They're cut off from any of their roots.

00:28:55.160 They have no sense of spirituality.

00:28:56.840 They're just like they're just atheists and they're just materialistic kind of mind controlled consumers.

00:29:02.700 And so really, this liberalism, social justice warrior is it's a religion, isn't it?

00:29:09.020 It's their form of spirituality.

00:29:11.500 And they're like they're like the new Puritans looking where the witch is that they want to hang. 0.88

00:29:16.240 The traditionalists are now the witches, right? 0.98

00:29:18.200 Exactly, exactly.

00:29:20.320 And there's something about the human psyche that is set up to want a savior and a Satan.

00:29:26.000 And in the absence of having that through faith and regardless of what the faith is, not necessarily Christianity,

00:29:32.640 but in the absence of having that through faith and tradition where you know that you're working for something and you're working towards something,

00:29:39.760 that you have something that is your personal savior, in the absence of being able to identify real evil in the world,

00:29:47.080 they're going to create it.

00:29:48.760 Yeah, again, because the human psyche needs it.

00:29:51.960 It's almost crucial for us to wake up every day.

00:29:54.700 We're so self-aware.

00:29:56.060 You know, we're not animals.

00:29:57.320 We're so completely self-aware.

00:29:58.820 We know we're going to die.

00:30:00.240 We know that bad things are going to happen in our lives.

00:30:02.360 We know that most likely we're going to die in a lot of pain.

00:30:05.680 We're going to lose people we love.

00:30:07.100 We might lose our children.

00:30:08.440 Nothing's guaranteed.

00:30:09.200 And we want to create this paradigm that makes us feel safe.

00:30:15.040 And so if we adhere to these new philosophies, the social justice warrior philosophies,

00:30:21.880 that fills the place of where traditional values and religion should be guiding us

00:30:29.000 and have guided the human race so successfully up until this point.

00:30:32.340 And now they're hijacking that with the social justice warrior movement.

00:30:37.320 And, of course, if you look back through history, anytime a culture has deviated from what is normal

00:30:44.920 and healthy and traditional and spiritual and culturally based, their civilization collapses.

00:30:53.600 That's right.

00:30:54.760 I find, too, talking to a social justice warrior, you never have to never back down.

00:30:59.620 Never, ever back down because nature is on our side.

00:31:03.380 Natural law is on our side.

00:31:05.340 I mean, they're really opposing what is natural, right?

00:31:09.460 Exactly.

00:31:10.320 Yeah, it's so true, you know.

00:31:12.560 And, of course, anytime any kind of rigorous academia is applied to this and a non-biased study is actually done,

00:31:22.180 you know, it's like, oh, lo and behold, we find, wow, most women actually want to be moms 0.98

00:31:26.540 and nurture children and babies.

00:31:28.960 And most men are, you know, very protective and territorial.

00:31:34.500 And, you know, these sorts of what we would be, they would be calling them now stereotypes

00:31:40.620 actually bear out to be true that humans, you know, men and women were created differently.

00:31:47.900 And within our own cultures and races, we were created to really love our own people

00:31:53.640 and love our own culture and want to be proud of that and be proud of our ancestors.

00:31:57.880 And I understand what you mean.

00:32:00.240 Now, let's get into feminism. 1.00

00:32:02.660 So why are you against feminism?

00:32:04.780 Well, definitely the same reason I'm against the social justice warrior movement.

00:32:09.740 It's feminism is one of the largest beasts within the social justice warrior movement. 1.00

00:32:17.100 And it's, again, it's a way for white middle class women to feel like they have a culture 1.00

00:32:24.340 and they have an expression and they've identified an evil and that they can, you know,

00:32:29.500 now rid the world of this evil.

00:32:31.140 They can have importance in their life.

00:32:33.020 They can give their life meaning.

00:32:35.200 They're not just going to, you know, go quietly into that dark night someday.

00:32:40.340 They're going to make a difference.

00:32:41.440 They're going to be that radical change.

00:32:44.460 They're going to take down the evil and the evil has become patriarchy.

00:32:50.380 So, yeah, I have a very big background with feminism. 1.00

00:32:55.280 I was a feminist. 1.00

00:32:56.920 And again, it was a way of not taking personal responsibility for my actions.

00:33:03.100 It was a way of just being able to say, oh, you know, it's the patriarchy

00:33:09.400 and that's why I can't do this correctly or I don't have this advantage, et cetera.

00:33:14.680 Yeah, it's usually women who haven't accomplished anything. 1.00

00:33:17.280 Do you notice that?

00:33:17.960 Women that don't have a good marriage, they don't have a good life, 1.00

00:33:20.820 they haven't been successful.

00:33:22.620 So it's so easy to just blame the patriarchy.

00:33:26.160 Exactly, exactly.

00:33:27.500 And they really should be blaming feminism because feminism is the one that's lied to them. 1.00

00:33:32.140 Feminism is the one that said delay having children until you're, you know, 40 1.00

00:33:36.200 or don't get married and or these other things.

00:33:40.620 And so they've ended up, you know, 45 childless alone with, you know, no family around them,

00:33:48.320 no one to spend time with and to give their life meaning.

00:33:52.720 And then it kind of almost emboldens them that, oh, yes, see, all this time the patriarchy was right.

00:33:58.660 I'm oppressed because I'm a woman.

00:33:59.860 And it's like, no, it was feminism that originally lied to you in the first place. 1.00

00:34:04.120 I, when I was living up in San Francisco, near San Francisco, one of the things that I noticed

00:34:08.020 one of the, on my journey to coming out of feminism was, um, I was, I had children and

00:34:14.720 around the time that I had my third child, women would come up to me and they'd say, 1.00

00:34:19.420 oh, you're so lucky that you started young, that you started early and, and that you have

00:34:24.360 all of these children.

00:34:25.220 And, you know, they said, well, you know, I put off having my first child till I was 38

00:34:29.020 or 42 or 45.

00:34:30.720 And they said, I didn't realize how much I was going to love it.

00:34:34.220 And now I only have one child because I can't have anymore.

00:34:37.120 I'm too old now.

00:34:38.620 And I saw the pain in their eyes, the absolute, just desperate pain behind their eyes, welling

00:34:45.940 with tears, telling me this.

00:34:47.320 And I thought it's, it's evil.

00:34:49.920 It's evil how feminism lies to these women and tells that they won't be happy as mothers, 1.00

00:34:55.000 um, because they will, uh, so yeah, absolutely.

00:34:59.160 And I think mothers need to raise their daughters to, to value their fertility, to value the 0.99

00:35:05.240 fact that they can have children and that it's a sacred act and they need to encourage

00:35:09.860 their children to, to procreate and want to have families.

00:35:13.640 And you're right, this feminist, it's just total BS because really what, what's so liberating 1.00

00:35:19.360 about it?

00:35:19.780 Women, they had to go to work. 1.00

00:35:21.580 That's what happened.

00:35:22.400 And so now a lot of women get to have kids and go to work. 1.00

00:35:26.360 I have several friends like that because they can't afford to stay home now.

00:35:30.080 That's what happened.

00:35:30.780 It changed the workplace because before it used to be, there was like a, uh, companies

00:35:34.280 understood like a basic kind of family income.

00:35:37.300 So the father would work and it was, it was rigged a certain way that was family oriented,

00:35:42.280 but then this liberal, you know, this quote unquote liberation came of women and it totally 1.00

00:35:46.920 altered the status quo of what that was and made it more difficult for us.

00:35:50.940 So now we get to go to work and have children.

00:35:53.460 Thanks feminists. 0.99

00:35:54.940 Exactly.

00:35:55.440 It's completely shifted our culture in that, in that way.

00:35:58.800 And, you know, a lot of people, especially on Twitter, they, they love to constantly,

00:36:03.260 especially because my handle a purposeful wife, you know, um, they love to, to say, oh, 1.00

00:36:09.240 well go obey your husband, go be a slave to your husband. 1.00

00:36:12.340 And I say, well, go be a slave to your boss. 0.99

00:36:15.260 Like at least the man in my life who, who I'm serving loves me.

00:36:20.040 The man you serve at work doesn't.

00:36:23.380 Yeah, exactly.

00:36:24.700 And I mean, come on, it's great.

00:36:26.280 You have a man that takes care of you and brings home the bacon and takes care of his 0.99

00:36:30.960 children.

00:36:31.580 I mean, come on.

00:36:32.520 That's like, that's the ultimate, isn't it?

00:36:34.740 Exactly.

00:36:36.300 And it completely, it frees me to really express fully what it means to be a woman and to nurture

00:36:44.840 and to love and to raise and to educate my children.

00:36:48.180 And, um, I'm, I'm very lucky that I found a man who's willing to do that as well, because

00:36:53.420 as feminism has changed women, it's also, and culture, it's changed the men.

00:36:57.820 And so many of my friends, their husbands won't allow them to stay home because they've been

00:37:02.900 raised by feminist mothers and feminist culture that told them, oh, don't, you know, if your 1.00

00:37:07.980 woman stays home, she's being lazy. 1.00

00:37:09.740 She's not doing it productive, you know, don't, don't stand for that.

00:37:13.420 And so now they expect their, their, um, their women to work. 0.96

00:37:18.360 And I, I even have some friends with health conditions and I, that are on disability and

00:37:23.400 staying at home.

00:37:24.340 And I wonder sometimes with some of them, if it isn't almost psychosomatic because they

00:37:30.160 want to be able to stay at home yet, they're not allowed to.

00:37:33.260 But if they're, if they have, um, a disability and they're able to stay at home and still receive

00:37:38.840 an income, then their husbands won't bother them about it. 1.00

00:37:41.440 Their mothers won't bother them about it.

00:37:42.900 And they, they can stay at home and be mothers and do what they want to do. 0.74

00:37:46.440 And, and of course, I'm not saying that's the case with all people on disability.

00:37:49.180 I'm just saying for a few friends of mine that I have that are, that are mothers of

00:37:52.960 young children still who suddenly, you know, around the time that they were supposed to

00:37:56.900 go back to work, developed these chronic pain conditions or whatever they end up having.

00:38:02.060 And I wonder, well, I wonder if, you know, and of course I'm not intentionally doing it.

00:38:06.160 I'm not saying they're lying, but I'm wondering if it's a mental trick that they're playing

00:38:09.120 on their own bodies.

00:38:09.840 Yeah.

00:38:10.020 Like a, like an unconscious drive.

00:38:12.240 They know it's something they should be doing.

00:38:14.600 Exactly.

00:38:15.160 But their, their own mothers, their, their sisters, their aunts, their husband won't

00:38:19.980 validate that decision to stay home with their children.

00:38:22.400 And so they have to, you know, they're, they're kind of desperately finding this, this, this

00:38:27.040 work around their brain is so that they can express fully what it is to be a woman. 1.00

00:38:31.100 Well, I hope there's some radical traditionalist men out there who are just seeking women who, 0.97

00:38:35.980 who want to stay home, who want to be a mother, you know, and they need to kind of put their

00:38:39.360 foot down and, and reject some of these feminist women who, who don't want to have a family. 1.00

00:38:45.440 You know, that's what it's going to come down to.

00:38:46.940 You know, for me, I noticed now being in my mid thirties, how much I was programmed by feminist

00:38:53.120 ideology without even thinking about it.

00:38:55.180 You know, I pursued certain things that, you know, careers and, you know, having experiences

00:39:00.560 and doing this and doing that, and didn't even think about family, like where was my

00:39:04.600 head, you know?

00:39:05.360 And then you look back and you realize how you were programmed here or there or pick this

00:39:09.800 and that up.

00:39:10.400 So yeah, I can, I can understand there's women that just have that regret. 0.96

00:39:13.840 So when they see you with all these children, it just, I think it, it finally phases them.

00:39:18.340 And that's, that's awful.

00:39:19.340 That's very painful.

00:39:20.860 It is.

00:39:21.680 It is.

00:39:22.020 It's painful to see.

00:39:23.140 Um, and definitely I, I had a similar experience as far as being raised and not realizing how

00:39:28.940 much feminism was in my childhood and in my youth. 1.00

00:39:32.540 And definitely when I was in college and I was a liberal and I gladly accepted the title

00:39:36.660 of feminist and pursued that, that was one thing, but it was very interesting to me once

00:39:41.100 I came out of feminism to look back at my childhood.

00:39:43.460 And I had a mother who was, she was a registered Republican.

00:39:46.280 She was a stay at home mother for the most part.

00:39:48.780 She had a degree in nursing, but she rarely ever worked in my childhood.

00:39:52.100 And if she did, it was 10 hours a week or something very small.

00:39:54.920 So she was a stay at home mom. 0.69

00:39:56.540 She's very devoted.

00:39:57.660 She, she cooked every meal.

00:39:59.460 She sewed Halloween costumes and went to, went to our school functions and very stereotypical, 1.00

00:40:05.800 um, stay at home mom.

00:40:08.240 But she acted as though she hated it.

00:40:11.120 And I was raised with this narrative of like, don't you make that same choice?

00:40:15.560 Don't you, don't you do this?

00:40:17.680 You have a career, you are smart, you are going to go to college, you're going to get

00:40:22.060 a degree, you're going to, you know, work for this company or that company.

00:40:25.800 Even after when I first graduated with my undergraduate degree, my mother was just really wanted me to go to work for like the FBI.

00:40:33.640 She had this just dream for me to be a linguist at the F with the FBI.

00:40:39.440 And, and I, right after, um, I got my bachelor's degree, I got pregnant because I said, no, this is my dream.

00:40:45.580 This is what I want to do with my life.

00:40:47.900 And she just really was very upset about that.

00:40:51.300 But it was just very interesting that even back in the eighties and nineties, a woman who was a stay at home mother, registered Republican, et cetera, was who would never, she would never have called herself a feminist, was spouting feminist ideology constantly.

00:41:05.940 And so I think, well, if that's what conservative was, even back then, you know, there's no hope for anyone that that's even close to being liberal to actually get the real side of the story.

00:41:17.700 And it's so annoying too, because these European women, you know, white women, they have nothing to complain about. 1.00

00:41:23.120 We have it better than anyone else in the world, you know, it's like, what, what do you not have?

00:41:29.640 What do you not have access to?

00:41:31.340 What is it that you want?

00:41:32.620 I just don't understand.

00:41:33.720 Oh, I completely agree.

00:41:36.220 I was, I was, uh, tweeting yesterday about Jennifer Lawrence, the actress coming out and complaining about that.

00:41:42.280 She wasn't getting paid as much as some of her male co-stars on the sets of movies.

00:41:47.280 And I thought you're a white 20 something year old American woman who's worth hundreds of millions of dollars. 1.00

00:41:57.600 And, uh, you get paid for doing almost nothing.

00:42:01.620 I mean, you don't have to study or, you know, you're, you get paid to just to be cute on, on film and you're complaining.

00:42:09.600 And then I thought how ironic it was too, that, that, um, she's complaining about this one, especially when something like, like Hollywood, your pay is, is very much based on, on your box office draws.

00:42:20.800 And it's like, if you're not drawing the box office, sweetheart, you're not going to make the same money as the men who are.

00:42:26.180 I'm sorry, do better.

00:42:28.040 Yeah.

00:42:28.540 I know.

00:42:28.880 And then furthermore, it's like, uh, all the technology used to make your productions was made by white guys and the patriarchy facilitated that.

00:42:37.640 So you wouldn't even have two cents if it weren't for that, you know?

00:42:41.660 Yes, definitely.

00:42:42.800 And I, and I think that a lot of her, her fan base is, is masculine as well.

00:42:48.340 Um, and who think that she looks really cute, you know, with her bow and arrow in the hunger games. 0.99

00:42:52.960 And that's who, that's where she's getting her, most of her money from. 1.00

00:42:56.900 So, um, the fact that she's then turning around and complaining that she's not making enough money is, is really, um, sums up the, the catchphrase first world problems.

00:43:08.560 It's like, you don't have problems.

00:43:11.180 You're not oppressed.

00:43:12.680 No.

00:43:14.360 Yeah.

00:43:14.820 And then these women that do complain, oh, these guys are making more.

00:43:17.320 And then you look in the field and it's like, yeah, they're doing these really dangerous, high risk or yucky.

00:43:22.960 They're dirty jobs.

00:43:24.320 They've been working at it longer.

00:43:25.720 So yeah, they do deserve more money.

00:43:27.460 I mean, how many women are, want to go work in the coal mine? 1.00

00:43:30.380 Why don't they like, uh, you know, bring in more women there or like in a sewer plant? 1.00

00:43:34.800 Why aren't there more women working there? 1.00

00:43:36.720 You know?

00:43:37.880 Exactly.

00:43:38.580 Exactly.

00:43:39.260 And the men, they just simply men have a lot of drive that women don't in pursuit of a career. 0.98

00:43:45.960 Most women in general don't. 1.00

00:43:48.200 And so, yeah, the men, they're going to, they're going to spend the long nights at the office and study

00:43:52.560 and after study has shown that women don't want to do that. 1.00

00:43:55.840 When, when it's their daughter's, uh, school play or birthday party, they're going to opt to take a short day at the office.

00:44:01.840 And men notoriously, and they get a bad rap for this, don't.

00:44:05.140 Men miss baseball games.

00:44:06.600 They miss school plays because they're at the office and they're putting in those hours.

00:44:10.600 They intuitively understand that that's their job.

00:44:12.860 They don't have an option and that it's worth more to their family for them to stay those extra hours at the office to earn more income, to take care of their family.

00:44:21.700 And women don't intuitively understand that because we're the nurturers. 1.00

00:44:25.340 So our idea of taking care of our family is to physically be there.

00:44:29.160 And if you're physically there, you're not at the office.

00:44:31.440 That's right.

00:44:32.700 Well, to pick on women some more, I really enjoyed your video called Welcome Refugees. 1.00

00:44:37.440 I Blame Feminism. 1.00

00:44:38.840 This is why.

00:44:39.540 And I agree women are completely pushing for multiculturalism, this one world, no borders, just, you know, general liberal insanity. 1.00

00:44:47.700 So let's talk about why you blame feminism. 1.00

00:44:51.340 I blame feminism because, as we were discussing a moment ago, it's radically changed our culture. 0.99

00:44:56.400 So women were given the right to vote 100 years ago, and we've done nothing in general but thrown away our votes. 0.75

00:45:05.100 We vote for these expensive, bloated social welfare programs, again, because it's our nature to be compassionate and to love and to nurture and to want to take care of people.

00:45:17.220 And when that people is an entire country or even an entire world, we'll vote against our own best interests.

00:45:24.000 Men aren't like that. 0.96

00:45:24.980 Men are logical.

00:45:26.400 And more calculated than women tend to be. 1.00

00:45:29.140 And when they're going to the voting booth, they're thinking about what's in the best interest for themselves, their family, their nation.

00:45:37.820 And sometimes, well, and men very much understand that that means that we can't take care of the world, that we can't be the moms of the world and take care of everybody and give everybody a teddy bear and a lollipop.

00:45:50.680 And they understand that.

00:45:52.140 They understand that there are hard choices to be made because they do.

00:45:54.880 They make those hard choices, like missing their son's baseball game in order to spend more time at the office because of the cost-benefit analysis of that.

00:46:02.780 Men make those decisions quickly.

00:46:05.200 They make them every day.

00:46:06.640 This is why they're much better at chess than women tend to be and things like this. 1.00

00:46:10.620 They're calculated.

00:46:11.480 They understand that.

00:46:12.600 They understand it politically.

00:46:13.860 When women were in charge of politics and in charge of national security, they made those logical, calculated decisions, even if it meant some people starved. 1.00

00:46:25.760 And they understood it.

00:46:28.240 Women don't. 1.00

00:46:29.480 We will sacrifice ourselves.

00:46:32.060 We're notoriously self-sacrificing.

00:46:34.000 We'll sacrifice ourselves, our homes, our children, unfortunately, our families, our futures, because we want to love and nurture.

00:46:42.860 And it's great within the home for a woman to be self-sacrificing and saying, oh, I want to go to bed early, but I got to stay up to sew my son's costume for the school play tomorrow. 1.00

00:46:54.060 That's wonderful, and it works great within the sphere that women are naturally good at because they will self-sacrifice for that. 1.00

00:47:01.140 They'll lose the sleep, but their son has a wonderful experience and a great memory, and that's terrific.

00:47:06.760 It doesn't work on the national stage, which is why women just are – they haven't been in power and control throughout history politically. 1.00

00:47:15.640 They aren't very good at it when they are.

00:47:17.860 And so the feminist idea, these feminist feminine ideas of nurturing and loving to the point of completely self-sacrificing have not only influenced women voters who therefore vote for weaker men, but it's influenced the men as well.

00:47:32.840 And so we get these people in positions of power even when they're male who are basically feminists, even if they wouldn't call themselves that. 1.00

00:47:39.440 And so they're making decisions based on feminine feelings, and they have to go back to their constituency. 1.00

00:47:46.140 They have to go back to those soccer moms and justify what they did politically. 1.00

00:47:50.680 And so they politically need to pander to these groups of women. 1.00

00:47:56.480 And we're also very loud.

00:47:59.260 Women are very opinionated. 1.00

00:48:00.460 We like to tell people what we think.

00:48:01.980 Men are a little bit more reserved that way.

00:48:04.800 They wait to offer their opinion when they're sure, and it's more calculated.

00:48:11.080 And women just kind of – we're always just expressing our feelings, expressing our feelings, and so we're doing that at our politicians. 1.00

00:48:17.320 And they're making those decisions based on us just constantly venting at them about our feelings.

00:48:21.800 And women seem to think that the money's never going to run out, you know. 1.00

00:48:26.480 It's just like spending, spending, spending in the welfare state.

00:48:29.860 Oh, it'll be there, you know.

00:48:31.500 Yeah, I notice men, you know, they've gotten soft because of this feminist ideology. 1.00

00:48:36.580 Exactly.

00:48:36.960 So they're not protectors of the land like warriors anymore because this is completely unnatural.

00:48:42.080 I mean, it's not refugees coming into Europe. 1.00

00:48:44.720 That is utter bullshit, you know. 0.99

00:48:46.460 It's just like it's a third world invasion of people coming in. 1.00

00:48:49.980 And it used to be in the old days, people would protect the land.

00:48:53.680 They wouldn't allow this invasion to happen.

00:48:55.800 But, yeah, they've gotten soft.

00:48:57.440 They've letting go of that warrior instinct.

00:49:00.080 They've letting in this liberal, you know, feminized kind of man-think coming in.

00:49:04.820 And now we're paying the price for it.

00:49:06.260 So I wonder, do you think that men are going to – that warrior instinct is going to kick on if this invasion is continuing in our lands?

00:49:15.180 I definitely think it will kick in.

00:49:17.640 And the question is whether it's going to be too late.

00:49:21.120 The question is really whether it's already too late.

00:49:24.000 But I definitely think that our base instincts, the way that we were created, if you believe in a God, or the way we evolved, if you don't believe in a God, is those base instincts are going to kick in.

00:49:35.680 And that self-preservation, particularly for men, that warrior will kick in.

00:49:40.380 But I'm really afraid it's going to be too late.

00:49:42.960 I'm very inspired by the men that I meet on social media, though, who have taken on that mantle of protector and warrior who will openly say, you know, publicly, no, I'll kick in the door and I'll save the day.

00:49:56.840 And hopefully that becomes more popular in the mainstream and more men feel empowered to be able to take back their warrior status.

00:50:10.060 But as I said, I think that the biggest question is whether or not it's going to be too late.

00:50:15.600 Because if I'm in rural, small-town Utah and my street is already half Latino, you know, we've got about one generation left as far as saving this country as a white country. 0.78

00:50:31.200 Yeah, it's, I know, it feels like it's lost because at the rate that they're coming in, and I saw there's buses now, Homeland Security is basically smuggling in from Mexico, Muslims. 1.00

00:50:42.120 Yes.

00:50:42.560 And there's been lots of footage of this.

00:50:44.360 We're talking thousands coming in.

00:50:46.540 It's like, I married a Swede.

00:50:47.660 He had to go through the process.

00:50:49.040 It was long.

00:50:49.780 It was expensive.

00:50:50.520 It was hard.

00:50:51.300 Now, these people just say the magic word refugee or asylum, and they're in. 0.72

00:50:55.580 They don't have to pay the fees.

00:50:56.820 They get all this welfare.

00:50:58.920 And it's like, wait a minute.

00:51:00.240 How is this happening?

00:51:02.000 Yes, exactly.

00:51:03.180 And it seems, I mean, you can't help but think that there's a calculation behind it because why would that be?

00:51:09.100 You know, and I remember going to high school with a boy that was from Poland, and his family had recently immigrated from Poland just the year before.

00:51:16.760 And I was used to only meeting immigrants from Mexico and South America.

00:51:22.080 And so I kind of figured he came over the way most of them do.

00:51:25.540 You know, you kind of just come over illegally and then hope everything works out because it will.

00:51:31.140 And just do your paperwork later.

00:51:33.180 I had a friend from El Salvador.

00:51:34.480 Her parents came over illegally.

00:51:36.080 You know, when she, 12 years later, they finally got their paperwork together and became citizens.

00:51:40.180 But no, he was telling me about how he, you know, it was years and years.

00:51:44.220 His parents actually were on a lottery and they had won like basically this Polish lottery to be able to come to America and actually even get the opportunity to file the paperwork to come to America.

00:51:56.000 And it really struck me at how hard white people from white countries have to work to get in here, even if they're scientists, doctors, lawyers, even if they have something really great to contribute to our society. 0.83

00:52:10.100 But pretty much anyone can come across our southern border with brown skin.

00:52:15.580 I think it would be very interesting to see if the, to get a huge group of white people and try to see if they can sneak across the southern border and see if anyone will actually stop them. 0.94

00:52:27.600 Yeah, I guess I kind of suspect that they kind of would it would be like, oh, wait, this isn't what's supposed to be going on.

00:52:33.540 I know I thought about how about we, you know, smuggle in a bunch of South Africans from the squatter camps. 1.00

00:52:40.080 I don't know if you're aware of them and like they're not they're not getting refugee status.

00:52:43.860 Bring them to Germany and say they're refugees. 0.99

00:52:45.920 They need our help, you know.

00:52:47.380 Or what about the Ukrainian kids that are, you know, there's lots of refugees there.

00:52:51.300 Would they be accepted into Germany?

00:52:53.000 I don't think so.

00:52:54.300 Oh, definitely not.

00:52:55.440 Definitely not.

00:52:56.400 Yeah, definitely.

00:52:57.860 Yeah.

00:52:58.040 And then here's the scary thing.

00:52:59.060 We have a lot of low birth rates among European women.

00:53:01.960 And obviously this ties into feminism. 1.00

00:53:05.340 What are your thoughts on these low birth rates?

00:53:08.620 Oh, it's horrible.

00:53:10.840 It's horrible all the way around. 0.98

00:53:12.440 Obviously, it's not good for white people, because if you're not having babies, there's not going to be any more white people, particularly when we have so much immigration in both America and in Europe. 0.94

00:53:24.300 And so you're looking at only a couple of generations out before there there literally are no more white people.

00:53:29.820 But I think it's also it's really horrible for women themselves, because women in general are have a desire to be mothers and to be mothers of large families, I think, as well.

00:53:43.260 And I talk to my friends often about this.

00:53:45.740 And I was just speaking to one of my friends a few days ago about this.

00:53:47.980 And she's had fertility problems. 1.00

00:53:49.700 So she has one child who is eight years old, and she hasn't been able to have another child.

00:53:54.500 And being a mother for her is really hard.

00:53:57.060 Just having that one child, you kind of end up being that child's only source of entertainment.

00:54:02.700 You end up being that child's constant playmate and companion.

00:54:06.240 And that can be exhausting.

00:54:07.460 And she was explaining her everyday kind of life.

00:54:11.540 And I thought, oh, that just I couldn't even do that.

00:54:14.400 But here I have five children.

00:54:15.780 It's because they entertain each other.

00:54:17.420 They play together.

00:54:18.760 Large families are actually a lot easier to have than people people think.

00:54:23.740 But they've been demonized and they've been demonized, particularly by the environmental movement, which is another, you know, add on to that social justice warrior movement where people feel like they're saving something and they're preserving something.

00:54:34.940 So they get fanatical about it.

00:54:37.320 And so they get fanatical about not having babies.

00:54:41.220 And, of course, it's always, you know, the white countries they're telling not to have the babies. 0.95

00:54:45.380 Yeah, exactly. 0.65

00:54:46.120 They're not telling the Mexicans or the Arabs coming in to have less babies.

00:54:49.860 Exactly, exactly.

00:54:51.040 And they're having a lot of babies and we're not.

00:54:53.860 And we have to break down those.

00:54:55.980 As white women, we need to be breaking down those taboos around large families. 1.00

00:54:59.740 We need to stick up for each other.

00:55:01.120 If a woman is being, you know, if you're in Walmart and you see a mom with five kids and your friend kind of snickers to you and says, oh, you know, looks like her life's hard or makes a derogatory comment.

00:55:13.260 We as white women need to start standing up and saying, no, her life looks really fun. 1.00

00:55:17.540 Imagine how much love that household has or some other positive comment.

00:55:21.540 We need to be turning this tide away from shaming big families, particularly white families.

00:55:27.840 And we need to encourage white women, not just, I mean, not only for the preservation of our culture and our race, but for their own health and their mental health and their physical health. 0.73

00:55:37.580 The more study after study, again, has shown scientifically having a lot of babies is really good for women. 0.97

00:55:43.740 It lowers our risk of cancer substantially, just overwhelmingly lowers our risk of cancer when we've had multiple babies and when we've breastfed for a long time.

00:55:53.800 And, of course, our hormone levels, our mental stability.

00:55:56.760 You know, women without children tend to have high rates of depression, et cetera. 0.88

00:55:59.840 They get neurotic.

00:56:00.800 You notice that?

00:56:01.800 Yes, exactly.

00:56:03.020 Exactly.

00:56:03.520 It's because their body isn't doing what it's meant to do.

00:56:07.820 And it would be like, you know, using your nose to push pennies across the floor instead of breathing with it.

00:56:14.560 Breathing only with your mouth and only using your nose to push pennies across the floor.

00:56:17.820 It's absolutely insane. 0.99

00:56:19.320 If you were doing that, people would say, you're crazy.

00:56:22.080 Why are you doing that?

00:56:22.840 That's not what the nose was meant to do.

00:56:24.660 And women who aren't having babies and who aren't getting married, they're doing that with their whole body. 1.00

00:56:31.040 They're using their whole body not as it was intended.

00:56:33.740 They're not doing the natural, normal thing.

00:56:35.700 And then, of course, they end up having high, high levels of estrogen because they're having too many menstrual cycles.

00:56:40.380 And it's jacking up their rates of cancer.

00:56:43.180 And they're, you know, getting into their 40s and 50s and they're dying of breast cancer.

00:56:48.120 Yeah.

00:56:48.580 Wow.

00:56:49.120 Yeah.

00:56:49.340 We have a friend who she's in Sweden and she has eight babies.

00:56:53.480 She's one of us.

00:56:54.200 She thinks like us.

00:56:55.100 And she's a beautiful Swedish woman.

00:56:57.320 So I'm glad she had eight children.

00:56:59.000 But she gets snickered at and looked at and judged.

00:57:01.740 And it's just so awful.

00:57:02.740 So I make a point, too, when I see women with large families out smiling and saying hi and telling them how cute their kids are.

00:57:09.560 And they're always shocked.

00:57:10.880 They're always shocked meeting someone like me that's like smiling and accepting of that.

00:57:14.780 Because I see other women with lots of kids when they're kind of walking around the store, you know, with all their kids. 1.00

00:57:19.640 They almost look like ashamed when other people look at them.

00:57:22.760 Have you noticed that?

00:57:23.480 Oh, definitely.

00:57:24.600 And I felt that myself when I had my third baby.

00:57:27.760 And my third baby was less than a month old.

00:57:29.720 And I was very proud of him.

00:57:31.900 And, you know, I loved him so much.

00:57:33.180 And I was so excited to go in public with my beautiful family.

00:57:36.320 And we ended up needing to take a trip into Oakland.

00:57:39.600 And so we went to Oakland one night.

00:57:40.860 We went to the Whole Foods market there.

00:57:42.680 And, you know, here I am.

00:57:43.820 And I'm feeling great about it.

00:57:45.720 I have my little baby.

00:57:46.820 And he's so cute.

00:57:47.520 I've got my other two toddling along.

00:57:49.260 And we're walking through the parking lot.

00:57:51.120 And this social justice warrior woman, a baby boomer, started yelling at me and also with the friend that she was with about how horrible I was that no one needs three children. 1.00

00:58:03.400 She actually counted my children very dramatically.

00:58:05.420 She says, one, two, three.

00:58:07.600 Oh, my gosh.

00:58:09.180 Who needs three children? 1.00

00:58:10.860 You know, no one needs that amount of children.

00:58:12.800 And I was too shocked to have come up with a clever response at the time.

00:58:16.900 I just kind of slinked into the Whole Foods.

00:58:18.480 But I remember being very self-conscious after that about my family size and thinking, oh, my gosh, here I am.

00:58:24.580 I was really proud of my cute little kids and my family.

00:58:28.880 And now I'm thinking, is everybody thinking this way?

00:58:31.720 And the more I started paying attention, they were.

00:58:35.340 You know, I ran into a woman at a thrift shop. 0.96

00:58:37.560 And I actually, my kids were in the car with their dad.

00:58:40.360 And I was just running into the thrift shop really quick to pick something up.

00:58:42.900 And there was a woman in there talking to a man about how horrible it is when women have children at all.

00:58:49.600 Having children at all right now is a horrible choice and this and that.

00:58:53.160 And I thought, my goodness, if I was in here with my kids, you know, what would she be saying to me?

00:58:57.840 And women do. 1.00

00:58:59.060 They feel ashamed.

00:59:00.260 And I live in Utah, which is the land of big families.

00:59:03.060 I mean, we have big families out here.

00:59:05.840 But I still get that even in Utah.

00:59:08.340 I mean, I got it everywhere I went when I was in Northern California, the land of the social justice warrior.

00:59:13.300 I mean, I was always getting, you know, looked at and stared at.

00:59:16.080 Yeah, I mean, I lived in Hollywood.

00:59:17.540 I worked in the business there.

00:59:18.680 And I remember once, two years went by and I didn't see a kid.

00:59:23.240 And I just realized, I was talking to my friends.

00:59:24.740 I'm like, do you realize I haven't seen a child in two years?

00:59:28.300 And then they're all like, yeah, you're right.

00:59:30.200 I haven't seen a kid either, you know?

00:59:32.440 Yeah, that sounds like the plot line of a frightening Star Trek episode.

00:59:38.160 You know, they go to a weird planet and they're, you know, they're in the planet conversing with people for a few moments and realize there's no children.

00:59:46.380 That's always when you when you look at stories and storytelling, that's always a bad sign that we've got to that point in our civilization.

00:59:52.080 And nobody's looking around going, where are the children?

00:59:54.400 Yeah.

00:59:54.700 Yeah.

00:59:55.940 And that was the same in Northern California.

00:59:57.900 You could you could go you could spend days in the city, particularly Oakland, San Francisco area and never see a child.

01:00:04.340 Well, I wonder if that awful lady who came up to you, hopefully she doesn't have any kids. 1.00

01:00:08.660 Hopefully she's not passing on that mentality. 0.89

01:00:10.980 And I wonder, would she go would she go up to a black family or a Mexican family or an Asian family and have said that?

01:00:17.700 Yeah.

01:00:18.220 Yeah, probably not.

01:00:19.560 I can't imagine.

01:00:20.720 I, you know, we have a high Latino population here and I've never at least I've never witnessed anyone confronting a large Mexican family about about their size.

01:00:32.880 Um, but they love, you know, with with white people in particular, with us Mormons, you know, it's it's totally it's considered totally cool to to tease us about our large families and how backwards we are.

01:00:47.300 Well, you brought up a interesting thing earlier made me think of the sisterhood, you know, and I'm always saying, where is the sisterhood?

01:00:53.840 I've been meeting some great women during doing the show and talking about these issues that I feel is really pulling us together in a different kind of way, a different kind of strong folk spirit, which I appreciate meeting some very solid women.

01:01:04.720 But what is your idea on where is the sisterhood and why have white women become so shallow and why are they judging each other so much? 0.99

01:01:13.580 Why can't they be tight like some other ethnicities, non-white ethnicities are? 1.00

01:01:18.300 Yeah, I think, again, it gets back to us not having a cultural heritage and a pride about our culture and not being allowed that.

01:01:26.140 And I think that when you see the sisterhood amongst black women or Latino women, it revolves heavily around their culture.

01:01:34.520 And I'm thinking of the movie Soul Food, which is about a black family and their experience.

01:01:39.900 And when I was young, I loved that movie and I couldn't quite put my finger on what I loved about this black movie.

01:01:48.400 I mean, it was it was made for black people, about black people. 0.99

01:01:50.660 I'm not black.

01:01:51.740 I keep watching this movie and loving this movie.

01:01:54.100 And it was because they had it was it was about soul food.

01:01:57.140 This family got together, the sisters in particular, got together every Sunday.

01:02:02.140 And they they they met at their grandma's house after church and they had their their traditional black southern dishes that they would eat like egg pie and collard greens.

01:02:13.160 And they would talk and laugh.

01:02:15.060 And anyways, and they had that bond.

01:02:16.980 But white women, we don't have that bond. 1.00

01:02:20.380 You know, Latino women, they they have these these great parties, these kincierras when their their daughters turn 15 and they have all these wonderful cultural traditions that they celebrate.

01:02:30.460 And and it creates a natural bond and it creates a sisterhood.

01:02:33.660 And white women, for the large part, aren't allowed to have that. 1.00

01:02:36.720 And I'm very fortunate to be to be Mormon and to be LDS, particularly in Utah, where we have a high LDS population.

01:02:43.600 And because the LDS women are are very much into sisterhood, they take care of each other.

01:02:51.760 They support each other.

01:02:54.460 And we could but because they have a shared culture and a shared heritage, they have a shared faith and they have shared value system.

01:03:02.060 And so it lends itself to them easily getting along together and supporting each other.

01:03:07.380 But the white women in general, middle class white women in our our country, in America, don't have any shared values or shared heritage. 0.98

01:03:15.540 They can't.

01:03:16.700 No one's going to no one's going to bond over, you know, going to, you know, going to a jewelry shop and finding a Norse design on a necklace or something.

01:03:30.380 You know, white women are going to be there. 1.00

01:03:31.500 Well, look, it's our culture.

01:03:32.920 It's you know, they're not going to have anything to talk about or do.

01:03:35.760 And so, yeah, they they end up just caring about their their pedicures and getting their hair and their nails done.

01:03:42.260 They don't have anything to feel that fill that void.

01:03:44.280 And they don't have any reason to talk with other white women. 1.00

01:03:47.700 I think it's especially bad in America because we've been cut off from our motherland, our homeland.

01:03:52.560 So we don't know our old culture, you know, and we're we're cut off from those old roots.

01:03:57.680 And we also lack a racial and ethnic and a folk consciousness.

01:04:01.760 Black women, they very much have it. 1.00

01:04:03.620 I mean, that's why when you say sisterhood, I also think of like a black movie.

01:04:07.260 Right. You know, that's that's really sad because but they all have that one thing in common.

01:04:12.300 They may fight.

01:04:13.500 They may judge each other.

01:04:14.700 But when it comes time to it, they support their own black sisters or their own Mexican sisters.

01:04:19.960 And that's something us white girls need to start doing. 1.00

01:04:23.340 Exactly. Exactly.

01:04:24.360 And we will just, you know, especially within social media, white people and white women in particular will just turn on other white women. 1.00

01:04:31.320 There's absolutely no idea of solidarity there at all.

01:04:34.540 The second they find out that I'm a Christian or that I'm a I'm anti-feminist or, you know, any any of these things that the social justice warriors don't like. 0.99

01:04:43.120 The white women turn on me immediately and they say, you know, they say this is why people want to to kill white people. 1.00

01:04:50.520 This is why white people are horrible. 1.00

01:04:52.020 It's because of people like you. 1.00

01:04:54.460 There's no solidarity there at all.

01:04:57.020 And what I think is interesting is if you look at the two different types of white people, there's there's the people that care very much what other people think.

01:05:04.760 Those would be your typical kind of, you know, your stereotypical cheerleaders in high school who spend a lot of time on their appearance. 1.00

01:05:11.700 They want people to like them.

01:05:12.880 They want to be popular.

01:05:13.980 And then you've got the white people that are very geeky and and have grown accustomed to not having to care what people think of them. 0.97

01:05:20.700 And those geeky types, they will unite even if people think they're being silly. 0.88

01:05:29.000 And where one of the places they unite is Renaissance festivals. 0.87

01:05:32.120 And Renaissance festivals are really like this undercover way for white people to feel proud of them. 0.79

01:05:38.160 Yeah, you're right.

01:05:39.440 You're right.

01:05:40.720 So this is why I think Renaissance festivals are so popular.

01:05:45.380 You know, almost any town that you go to is going to have at least one every year here in America.

01:05:50.540 And, you know, it's it's just it's almost even a stereotype.

01:05:53.460 And you see it represented in media and culture and things like the Big Bang Theory.

01:05:57.780 And and people get really into it.

01:06:00.180 I mean, there's people that base their whole lives around following Renaissance festivals around or working at Renaissance festivals and producing goods for Renaissance festivals or learning, you know, blacksmithing or something like this and leather work and tanning.

01:06:12.760 And it is it's like the subversive way to have white pride.

01:06:16.280 I like that.

01:06:17.440 Yeah.

01:06:17.580 I also see a big comeback in like Norse tradition and myth, Odin gatherings.

01:06:22.700 It's a very spiritual thing.

01:06:24.220 You know, I think we should be bringing back these old traditions and celebrations and just really heavily bring it back and have our kids grow up with it so they know what these things are.

01:06:33.760 So it's ingrained in them.

01:06:35.060 So they get excited about it like Christmas.

01:06:37.380 You know, remember how excited we get about Christmas.

01:06:39.180 But wouldn't it be great to get excited about like Leif Erikson Day or some important Norse, Norse commemoration or something, right?

01:06:47.460 Yeah.

01:06:48.020 Yeah, I completely agree.

01:06:49.500 And I homeschool my children.

01:06:51.040 And so I'm allowed to I kind of have the time to put a lot of thought into our family traditions and our family culture.

01:06:56.960 And one of the things we do is that we do celebrate like we, you know, May Day is a really big or Beltane or however you want to phrase it, is a really big celebration in our family.

01:07:07.980 And, you know, we do a Maypole and we do a dance and dance around the Maypole.

01:07:13.280 And we invite our friends.

01:07:14.400 And some years we don't get any friends come.

01:07:16.200 And this year we had about five other families come to the park with us and do a May Day celebration.

01:07:21.220 And, you know, and I do, you know, I make sure that we have our ethnic foods that we'll eat.

01:07:28.040 You know, I make things like Schwiebelkuchen and German foods.

01:07:31.460 And we do St. Lucia Day.

01:07:33.620 And, you know, we do it the Swiss way where we, I mean, the Swedish way, you know, we make the saffron buns.

01:07:39.560 And we have those rituals and those European rituals.

01:07:42.420 And I often chuckle to my husband, I think.

01:07:44.900 I said, you know, when our kids grow up and they get into the real world and they start having their own families, they're going to,

01:07:49.420 my sons are going to turn to their wives and say, well, what are we doing for May Day?

01:07:54.200 And they're like, what's May Day?

01:07:56.380 What do you mean?

01:07:57.440 Yeah.

01:07:58.040 No, seriously, you got to pull and you got to get some ribbon and you got to do a dance. 0.94

01:08:02.420 And their wives are going to think they're absolutely insane. 0.98

01:08:06.400 That's funny.

01:08:07.600 Well, maybe they'll marry some other people that are also raising their kids in a similar manner. 0.97

01:08:13.240 Oh, I hope so.

01:08:14.180 I really hope so.

01:08:15.560 And that's kind of something I'm just kind of, as a mom, I have to emotionally let go of.

01:08:21.360 Obviously, I can't control who my kids fall in love with and who they marry. 0.58

01:08:24.260 But that's definitely on my heart all the time that they'll marry somebody with similar values and similar traditions that,

01:08:31.840 or at least a woman, at very least, for my sons.

01:08:35.120 I have three sons and then my two daughters are quite young.

01:08:37.840 So I've thought a lot about my sons and their future so far, and at least if they can just marry a woman that is receptive to those ideas,

01:08:46.540 I'll take what I can get, you know, and hopefully be able to see some traditions and some cultural identity and pride carried on to my grandchildren.

01:08:56.940 But intellectually, I know that I can't obsess over it because the way things are going and love being as it is,

01:09:05.240 my sons and my daughters may just end up, you know, going a different direction.

01:09:10.600 Yeah, you know, I think, though, you could bring, you know, their spouses in the future, you can bring them into the fold,

01:09:17.480 you can expose them to these traditions, and I think it will activate and reawaken something in there.

01:09:23.440 It's a spiritual experience when you activate with the old things that our ancestors used to do that are ancient,

01:09:28.680 and I think people are hungry to have something to hold on to, hungry for a spirituality and a union.

01:09:35.460 So I think they will be very receptive to it.

01:09:37.380 I think you'll be surprised. More and more, they'll probably just start popping in, you know?

01:09:41.640 Yeah, hopefully. You know, culture is much like a pendulum, and it rarely settles in the middle.

01:09:48.300 It tends to swing one way or the other, and so since we're swung so far left now,

01:09:53.140 I'm hoping that we're in for a right swing, a swing back to some more conservative and traditional values here very soon,

01:10:00.500 and it won't be such an odd thing.

01:10:02.500 Well, before we close, I wanted to, maybe you could share some of your ideas on unschooling,

01:10:07.780 what type of education you're giving your children, any tips for any other homeschoolers out there?

01:10:13.160 Oh, wow. Yeah. Well, homeschooling has to be such a unique and individual family process,

01:10:18.940 and there's a huge learning curve to it, too.

01:10:21.500 So I would tell moms, don't give up the first couple of years just because it seems hard,

01:10:26.640 or you feel like you don't know what you're doing,

01:10:27.900 because, again, it's one of those things where you're taking complete responsibility for yourself,

01:10:32.120 whereas what's normal in our society today is to give your children over to this state-run education,

01:10:37.640 and if your children can't read, well, it's the teacher's fault or whatever else is going on.

01:10:42.000 So you're taking on responsibility, and that can feel really heavy,

01:10:45.320 but be kind and gentle with yourself and allow yourself to have a few years,

01:10:50.120 at least, you know, the first three or four years,

01:10:52.580 to really get your groove and understand what works for your family culture.

01:10:56.380 But my thoughts, particularly on unschooling,

01:11:00.400 I think it works wonderful for about half of a child's education.

01:11:06.500 I think that if you kind of think of their education as being half and half,

01:11:11.500 unfortunately, I think when unschooling is the entire of a child's education,

01:11:15.980 unless the mother is incredibly detail-oriented and incredibly meticulous about making sure 1.00

01:11:23.020 that they're getting those experiences every day,

01:11:26.060 it very easily de-evolves into just kind of chaos.

01:11:31.140 And children do learn on their own, but only to a certain point.

01:11:34.880 There's definitely something valuable to more classical education as well.

01:11:41.040 Yeah, they need order.

01:11:42.280 They need structure.

01:11:43.100 I think that's good for humans.

01:11:44.540 We crave that.

01:11:45.260 Exactly.

01:11:46.520 And even things like rope memorization, which get a bad rap these days.

01:11:51.060 But just having them memorize things also is very good.

01:11:54.680 And so I personally kind of do half and half.

01:11:57.740 I create a curriculum.

01:11:58.960 I create my own curriculum, but it's based on the Waldorf method,

01:12:02.060 which was developed by Rudolf Steiner in Austria about 100 years ago.

01:12:06.780 And I use that method to decide which subjects I'm teaching to my children at which age.

01:12:15.380 And then I gather my own curriculums and resources in order to teach those subjects.

01:12:19.280 So, for example, one of the things they do in fourth grade that's taught is Norse mythology.

01:12:24.420 So that's their main lesson a lot of the time.

01:12:27.280 So they're reading about the Norse myths and they're writing stories to go along with that.

01:12:31.940 So their, you know, their math assignments even are based on, you know, word problems from Valhalla or, you know, something like this.

01:12:40.000 And so you kind of get this whole experience.

01:12:42.360 And there's different themes every year.

01:12:44.780 And because it's European and it's really wonderful and helps me enrich my kids with those traditions,

01:12:52.440 they study the authentic, you know, in first grade we're doing the real Grimm's fairy tales.

01:12:57.840 We're not doing the Disney version.

01:12:58.860 We're doing the real German version of Grimm's fairy tales and things like that.

01:13:03.500 It gives them a sense of culture and heritage.

01:13:05.180 And I think that's an important thing to instill in your child when you're doing homeschool is a family culture and a sense of pride,

01:13:12.800 both in the fact that they're homeschoolers and in their personal heritage.

01:13:16.560 Because being homeschoolers, they're going to get teased a bit.

01:13:19.780 They're going to be a little bit ostracized.

01:13:21.180 It's not a normal thing in our culture.

01:13:23.260 And they need to feel a lot of strength around that and a lot of pride around that.

01:13:26.720 They need to understand why their family is doing that.

01:13:29.400 And so I like to develop a curriculum.

01:13:31.240 I write it up over the summer for the grades coming up and kind of give an outline for each day that we're going to be,

01:13:38.800 you know, that we go through.

01:13:40.540 But our curriculum usually lasts, it's about, you know, from about 9 in the morning until noon.

01:13:45.180 And then after that, I really love to just let them do unschooling for the afternoon and pursue their own personal passions and interests.

01:13:53.280 So my son right now is really into cartoon drawing and animation, my 12-year-old.

01:13:59.460 And he picked that up totally on his own and has really been running with it.

01:14:03.400 And particularly the days of the Internet, they can learn anything they want online.

01:14:06.680 And so I just kind of let them run free in the afternoons and develop their own personal talents and gifts that they've been given.

01:14:13.960 And that's kind of how it works for us.

01:14:16.360 Wow, that sounds great.

01:14:17.580 I love that.

01:14:18.540 I know people always write me all the time, you know, we need some tips.

01:14:21.440 What do we do?

01:14:22.160 So it's good to hear from you.

01:14:24.480 So I'm really glad that we got to meet.

01:14:26.240 But Ayla, please tell everyone about Wife with a Purpose and any other closing thoughts that you have.

01:14:31.000 Yeah, well, I tweet over at A Purposeful Wife over on Twitter. 1.00

01:14:37.280 And I also have a YouTube channel.

01:14:39.980 And my YouTube title is Wife with a Purpose.

01:14:44.020 Or I think it's YouTube slash user slash adorable Ayla is the URL if you want to go there.

01:14:52.760 And, yeah, I mean, it's nothing.

01:14:55.340 It's not a professional polished YouTube channel.

01:14:58.620 And I love to tell people it's raw.

01:15:00.360 It's really raw.

01:15:01.520 It's really who I am.

01:15:02.740 I sit down with my computer and I share my heart and my thoughts and my feelings.

01:15:07.600 And sometimes my three-year-old sticks her head in and says hello.

01:15:10.900 And I don't edit that out.

01:15:13.020 It's just I really want to show people what it's like to be a mom and a stay-at-home mom of a large family.

01:15:20.940 And so I cover a lot of different subjects.

01:15:25.300 I talk about my faith in some of the videos.

01:15:27.600 I talk about political issues, feminism.

01:15:31.140 You're going to get a lot of different ideas from the randomness of my brain.

01:15:37.140 Well, I really appreciate your time today.

01:15:39.420 It's been fantastic.

01:15:40.320 And I really enjoyed meeting you.

01:15:41.800 So thank you so much.

01:15:43.300 Thank you.

01:15:43.860 I really enjoyed my time here as well.

01:15:45.520 As a woman in her 30s who got a late start on the trad life, I want to encourage other younger listeners to make family your number one.

01:15:53.800 I look around and I have friends in their 40s who are single with no children.

01:15:57.160 And I see the emptiness starting to phase them, the regret.

01:16:00.980 You see, they didn't have mothers that taught them of the importance of a good man and a strong family.

01:16:05.640 They were victims of the onslaught of propaganda saying that marriage is death and kids are captivity. 1.00

01:16:11.560 All men are assholes. 1.00

01:16:13.220 They weren't taught how to find the right man. 1.00

01:16:15.360 And they weren't told that when you have that man, life becomes richer and more fulfilling.

01:16:20.040 I know from speaking to various women that many of our mothers weren't satisfied with their own lives because of poor decisions. 0.99

01:16:26.200 And so they pass that mentality down to their daughters, projecting their experience. 0.56

01:16:31.320 But that is a cycle we have to break.

01:16:34.020 I've noticed people who have spent many years alone get a little weird with finicky habits they've picked up through the years with no one to say, hey, what are you doing?

01:16:43.000 They haven't been challenged to craft themselves and chisel away to become a finer human being.

01:16:48.400 For me, that's important to have.

01:16:50.080 My other half challenged me and spot me in areas I do not see.

01:16:53.620 And there's a unique dynamic between the healthy feminine and masculine that really propels you to new heights beyond what you could do on your own.

01:17:02.840 I fully understand that women want to have careers and get stuff out of their system, but create a realistic timeline so your window of opportunity doesn't pass you by. 1.00

01:17:12.100 And just because you have children, it doesn't mean you can't do those other things at some point in your life.

01:17:17.200 Use your younger years wisely.

01:17:19.220 Fertility is the ultimate gift, so honor it.

01:17:21.580 Let me be that voice telling you prioritize family because the family unit is what will fulfill you and it's what will carry your genes into the future so you can continue to exist on this planet.

01:17:32.600 If you don't leave a legacy, what's the point?
