Hello and welcome to Misunderstood, the show for all you culturally and politically misunderstood
00:00:22.520
ladies and gentlemen. We are your hosts. I'm Kat. And I'm Nat. And today we're going to talk about
00:00:28.840
the left's open disdain for Christianity and analyze the belief that cancel culture is killing
00:00:33.840
comedy. Plus, with the definition of female changing in the dictionary, we also discuss
00:00:38.340
what other definitions we think are projected to change. But first, our patented culture shock
00:00:43.440
moment of the week. Take it away, Kat. A taste for cannibalism? Yum. No, thanks. Well, bugs are
00:00:50.560
looking pretty good right about now. So it turns out, y'all, cannibalism has a time and place in
00:00:57.020
the pages of some recent stomach churning books and on television and film screens. I will
00:01:02.480
just come out the gate saying, no, I don't want to watch it. I don't want to read about
00:01:06.020
it. I don't know. Nope. It's just kind of yucky. Yeah. I mean, there is a portion of the population
00:01:12.960
who likes watching like Saw and Human Centipede. And so for like, for those people, maybe this
00:01:18.960
is just a logical next step. And in terms of like entertainment, I don't like that kind
00:01:25.420
of stuff. I never have. Like, tease the brain. Yeah. So this article was a bait, clickbait.
00:01:33.580
Yeah. Like it went viral this weekend. Everyone was like, oh my God. Yeah. And it's very misleading
00:01:39.680
because it is really mostly about the kind of content we consume, whether it be books or TV
00:01:45.100
and film and stuff. However, I do think because, you know, politics and everything really is
00:01:51.460
downstream from culture. It could be a slippery slope. It's slippery slope, fams. And I was
00:01:56.920
thinking, you know, our good friend Bill Gates, he loves to pop like talking about depopulization.
00:02:03.560
What better way to depopulize than to eat each other? Yeah. Right. Yeah. That's actually an
00:02:07.740
amazing thought. It's I mean, maybe it's upsetting. I will not. I will not. It's upsetting, but not
00:02:15.100
outside of the realm of possibility. Not really necessarily. But again, I just just speculating.
00:02:21.220
Yeah. Just speculating. The point is, is you don't need to cancel your subscription to the New York
00:02:24.680
Times unless you never had one like me. Well, nobody does. Don't get one. That's the real culture
00:02:30.260
shock. Who has one? Nobody. My mom. OK, well, that's just speaking volumes. I don't know. She's never
00:02:37.680
watched the show. So. Hi. Hi. All righty. Should we move on? Yeah. OK. It's a lighter thing. Yeah.
00:02:44.200
So this article is called Prayer in School Supreme Court Ruling on Football Coach Upends Precedent.
00:02:51.240
So this one's a bit of a doozy. The do's. There is a coach named something.
00:02:57.500
Joseph Kennedy. Joseph Kennedy. Yes. He's a football coach in the great
00:03:00.740
Americas. And he he was praying after football games at the, I think, 50 yard line, some sort
00:03:09.940
of yard line. There's a few yard lines. There's some yard lines. He was praying at one of them
00:03:13.500
after games alone, not asking the students to join him. But apparently some students
00:03:18.680
chose to join him. And someone made a complaint. And he was, I think, I didn't write down exactly
00:03:24.920
what happened, but I think he was fired or. Yeah. He was put on leave. Leave. He was put
00:03:29.280
on leave. Yeah. And it went all the way up to the Supreme Court, which ended up siding in
00:03:34.160
his favor saying that. It was a six to three majority. Yes. And they ruled that ultimately
00:03:41.440
ruled in Kennedy's favor with Justice Neil Gorsuch writing in the majority of the writing
00:03:46.000
in the majority opinion that respect for religious expression is indispensable to life in a free
00:03:50.880
and diverse public. And this is important because there is supposed to be a separation of church
00:03:57.540
and state in schools. And there is a, there are laws that prevent, I don't know the name
00:04:02.700
of the law. Um, but yeah, here it is. It's there's some lemon versus Kurtzman was the, um,
00:04:09.540
the precedent setting case. Um, and it's laws must ultimately have a secular purpose rather
00:04:14.000
than attempting to advance a religious agenda. Yeah. So that's what people were complaining
00:04:17.480
about. However, uh, Robert Kennedy or sorry, Joseph Kennedy was praying alone. He wasn't forcing
00:04:23.940
it on anybody. It wasn't part of the curriculum. It wasn't a prerequisite for joining the team.
00:04:29.000
So they ruled in his favor that it was, it was just a promise he made to God really. And he was
00:04:34.120
just, you know, exercising his right to religious Liberty. And I think the most interesting thing
00:04:38.420
about this situation is that teen Vogue is really upset about it. They're really upset about it as if
00:04:43.780
this has anything to do with the conflation of church and state. And it absolutely does not. And
00:04:48.140
we talked about this kind of off screen last week, but it's like, what if this were any other
00:04:53.020
religion other than Christianity, do you think that the same rules would apply? No. Well, they don't
00:04:57.620
because there are, um, districts in the Americas that have, uh, private areas for Muslim prayer
00:05:05.040
that they allow. And that's, and again, in a school, if you need to go pray, you should have a
00:05:10.600
place to go do that without being scrutinized. And you should certainly should have the freedom to do
00:05:15.300
so. Absolutely. But if a Christian does it, it's just different. And I think no matter what
00:05:19.640
religion you are, you should have the right to pray to your God at the time that you feel
00:05:24.400
or you're called to. Yeah. It's so funny. One of the criticisms is that this is going to lead to
00:05:30.600
much more prayer in public schools, but it's like, okay. That's so terrible. Yeah. Praying is the worst
00:05:35.460
thing ever, but let me talk to your kids about sex and gender. That's just peachy without your
00:05:39.880
parents' consent, but prayer. They can cut off their wheelie. Yeah, exactly. That's fine, but how dare they
00:05:44.640
pray? And I'm kind of glad that there's such a gross reaction to this, I think, because it just speaks to
00:05:50.140
how much these people hate God and they're not even hiding it. They're not hiding it at all. It's like,
00:05:54.640
all right, well, you guys just keep doing what you're doing, but guess what? God kind of ruled in his
00:05:59.520
favor and his religious liberty is going, is, is, he's allowed to continue to do what he does as a
00:06:06.000
Christian. And I think that should be allowed. Yeah. I don't know. And it's a big, it's a win.
00:06:10.740
It's a win. Yeah. It is a win. And they're saying that it's over, see, I don't, like even the article
00:06:15.620
titles upends precedent. I don't think so. No, because it's because the constitutional right. Exactly. The
00:06:20.740
precedent is that they can't advance a religious agenda. He's not doing that. Yeah. It's the precedent
00:06:27.880
was held, which is, it's a constitutional right to freedom of religious expression. So yeah. And
00:06:33.140
it's, it's funny. Well, yeah, they're, they're wrong about everything. That's why they're my
00:06:36.940
favorite. Um, but you know, and they also claim that religious minority groups will be the most
00:06:41.780
impacted by this ruling, but it's like, what data do you have to back that up? Because Christians
00:06:46.140
technically are the most persecuted, uh, religion in the world, like on a global scale. So it's like,
00:06:51.360
you want to tell me that Christians have more privilege over other people. I mean, I understand that,
00:06:56.040
you know, America is a largely Christian nation, but I don't, I think a lot of people who are
00:07:01.420
Christians in the U S also respect another person's right to religious liberty. I would hope so. Yeah,
00:07:05.960
exactly. I mean, otherwise there's a problem there, of course. Um, but it's like these people
00:07:10.600
clearly aren't paying attention on a global scale. A lot of, a lot of countries where you can't even
00:07:15.540
pray or be a Christian openly without risk of literal death. Yeah. Literal beheading and death. Yeah.
00:07:21.000
Yeah. But, uh, you know, and same with other religions. Like we know about the Uyghurs in
00:07:25.040
China. Absolutely. It's, I'll just go out and say it. It's wrong to persecute someone for their
00:07:31.180
religion. It's wrong. Oh, that's crazy. Oh, maybe we'll have to cut that. I don't know if we're allowed
00:07:36.200
to say that on YouTube. No, probably not. Um, anyway, so yeah, pretty interesting. Teen Vogue hates
00:07:41.220
God. The Christian God. Yeah. The Christian God. They love the God of self though. Yeah. And the God of
00:07:46.980
sexual identity. Yes. And depravity. Great. Well, shall we move on from that? I think we
00:07:51.780
done did her. We done done. Okay. So y'all, y'all wokeness. Does it ruin comedy? Yes. Well,
00:07:59.560
yes, maybe. Uh, well, that's my, it's an opinion. Yeah. Yeah. John Cleese also thinks so. Yeah.
00:08:05.580
And what does he know about comedy? He knows literally nothing. So he's slamming wokeness for
00:08:11.060
disastrous impact on comedy. So he was a keynote speaker at last week's Freedom Fest conference in
00:08:16.620
Las Vegas, where he spoke about how to cultivate creativity, a skill he believes is essential
00:08:20.900
and not just in showbiz, but sounded the alarm that political correctness has become a major
00:08:25.240
obstacle, particularly for young comedians. Yes. Well, like you can't really be funny if
00:08:31.640
you're walking on eggshells. Yes, exactly. And that's in this quote, he says pretty much exactly
00:08:35.720
that. He says, I think it's particularly worrying at the moment because you can only create an
00:08:39.740
atmosphere, an atmosphere of freedom where you're not checking everything you say critically
00:08:43.920
before you move on. What you have to be able to do is build without, uh, knowing where
00:08:48.660
you're going because you've never been there before. That's what creativity is. You have
00:08:52.180
to be allowed to build. Yeah. Because like comedy moves so quickly. It's like, and your
00:08:57.040
brain is going off on all these things. You don't have time to sit and be like, can I say
00:09:01.160
that? Like, you know what I mean? That would be a funny bit though. Yeah. Like just saying
00:09:04.860
it and then being like, can I say that? That's our next skit folks. Don't steal it. Um, but
00:09:10.140
it's, it's just this, the thing about the mob is like, they always try to cancel comedians
00:09:15.040
for not being politically correct. And it's like, if you don't like a comedian, just don't
00:09:19.560
listen to them. It's so easy. There are so many people we don't like listening to. Hello,
00:09:23.160
Justin Trudeau. I just turn off the video when he's speaking. Cause I don't want to hear it.
00:09:26.600
Hello, Chelsea Handler. Exactly. Hello, Amy Schumer. Hello, Trevor Noah. There's like countless
00:09:30.600
people that just suck and kind of actually offend me a little bit because they're, you know,
00:09:35.520
always making fun of conservatives and Christians and all this stuff. Yeah, but like it's their
00:09:38.620
right to do it and I don't have to watch it. No, I don't subscribe to them. I don't tune in.
00:09:42.740
No, I don't even know what's happening until someone posts a clip and then I'm like, uh,
00:09:46.020
and then I move on with my day. Exactly. Like it doesn't ruin your day and you don't spend,
00:09:50.640
you know, only a bad hair day. Yeah. Well, amen. Um, I just also think it's kind of self-centered
00:09:57.500
to get super offended by jokes. Cause it's not, everything is about you. Like the joke is not
00:10:02.100
for you specifically and it's not attacking you specifically. It's just a generalization.
00:10:06.680
Usually trying to make people laugh. Exactly. It's probably a good thing. Yeah. I mean,
00:10:10.660
you hope, but you know, comedians getting in trouble is not a new thing. Um, we have this
00:10:16.420
article about Dave Chappelle's show in Minneapolis getting, it's a hard word. It's not easy.
00:10:22.060
Minneapolis getting canceled. Um, the good news is, is that, okay, well this is funny. There
00:10:28.600
was a change.org petition to cancel the show because he, he creates unsafe spaces for trans people.
00:10:34.500
Oh yeah. Uh, it got 120 signatures. Sorry. 120? 120. 120. So that's like everyone at Rebel plus
00:10:42.480
their mom. Oh. And the venue holds 1500 people. Okay. Well that's interesting. Yeah. But the,
00:10:51.380
but the venue canceled it, but then another venue honored all the tickets and they did three shows
00:10:56.260
at a different venue in the same city. So really he didn't lose anything. So basically these,
00:11:00.540
the mob is just making Dave Chappelle more famous. Like when are you going to learn that when you go
00:11:04.340
after someone like that, you're literally just giving them more publicity and you're pissing off
00:11:08.480
people enough that they're just going to go support him anyway, even if they don't like him all that
00:11:12.160
much because they don't like the mob sucks. Yeah. Like you guys on the mob, you're not, you're not
00:11:17.200
great. I was going to say like the mob isn't new. Like, um, comedians used to get, and they still get
00:11:22.600
investigated and charged and stuff, but there have been famous comedians who have been arrested.
00:11:27.000
Like Lenny Bruce was arrested twice in 1961 for obscenity because he used bad words.
00:11:32.480
He was also arrested for like fraud. Okay. But that's different. That is a little different.
00:11:36.980
Yeah. It's different. But this was just for using bad words. And then George Carlin was famously
00:11:39.720
arrested in 1972, um, for unruly behavior for his seven words you can never say on television,
00:11:44.580
which now people say all the time on television. Of course. So I'll say it right now. Just kidding.
00:11:49.640
Do it. No. Um, it's also kind of interesting that these same people who are usually on the
00:11:56.420
pro diversity side are completely against diversity of thought. So it's like, it's funny
00:12:02.240
because like Dave Chappelle is a black man, but because he says things that they don't like,
00:12:07.080
it's like, well, that's canceled out. Yeah. No, you're, you're a bad man now. Yeah, exactly.
00:12:11.820
Yeah. It's just so gross. It's gross. It's really gross. Um, just one, we don't have to go back to
00:12:16.300
the article, but just, there's another quote from John Cleese here that I loved. It's a critical,
00:12:20.140
a critical mind and creative mind are in opposition with each other, which is so true. Like a famous
00:12:25.900
painter isn't like, like they're, they're just letting it flow and, or poetry or singing or like,
00:12:33.060
you're not, if you're criticizing everything that you're doing in your own mind, when you're doing
00:12:36.920
it, it's not going to come out as good art. And that's, you can tell you're censoring yourself.
00:12:40.660
Exactly. And you can always tell because someone we've seen people where it's like, um,
00:12:44.200
like a YouTube video or something where it's like, that was so funny. And then they try to
00:12:47.360
make it again. And it's like, yeah, you lost it. Cause you're, you're now trying to replicate
00:12:51.660
something that was originally creative and flowing naturally. So arts are interesting and magical,
00:12:58.700
uh, things. Yeah. And to have the woke mob waiting for you with their pitchforks and,
00:13:04.040
and fire torches just ready for you. And the thing that I hate the most about all of this,
00:13:09.700
and I'm so glad that John Cleese is not one of these people, but I know Sarah Silverman is,
00:13:13.320
and I think Trevor, Trevor Noah has been the knee. Well, they not only bend the knee, but they,
00:13:17.980
they, I've said this before, but they have all like Amy Schumer has done it. Uh, Sarah Silverman
00:13:23.460
has done it. They make their careers off of offense and Trevor Noah as well. They make their careers
00:13:28.300
off of offend, offending people being hilarious and saying outlandish things. And then as soon as
00:13:34.460
they're rich and famous enough, and then the woke mob starts coming after other people,
00:13:37.460
those rich people who made their careers off of being offensive will step through the door and
00:13:41.680
then close it behind them and be like, no, no, no, you guys, I wish I didn't say that. I wish I
00:13:46.200
didn't do blackface. It's like easy for you to say with your millions. Yeah. It's like, well, okay,
00:13:49.000
but you wouldn't be who you are now if you weren't offending people back in the day. So for you to now
00:13:54.680
say, it's not okay for these young people who don't have the opportunity to, to be woke because
00:13:59.880
that's not going to, no one's going to laugh at them making unfunny commentary. Yeah. They need to
00:14:05.100
have shock value, but you're saying, no guys, that's wrong. You shouldn't do that. Well,
00:14:09.000
that's fine for you to say. Yeah. It's easy for you to say. It's easy for you to say. Yeah,
00:14:13.460
absolutely. And it's kind of funny because the same people who, you know, are, let's say members
00:14:19.740
of the mob, so to speak, they're probably not even going to buy tickets to any of these shows
00:14:24.080
anyway. Like they're literally like they, who cares? They're not your audience that you're
00:14:28.140
catering to, but people are still going to come to your shows because they find you funny. Like Dave
00:14:32.520
Chappelle, like isn't his Netflix special called uncancellable? Yeah. Yeah. And they proved it by having the
00:14:38.200
same show in the same city at a different venue and filling it up and 120 signatures. Like we get
00:14:44.260
more signatures than that on every single campaign that we do. Yeah. And it's like a couple of days
00:14:49.540
of Tamara Egalini knocking on doors. Like those, because these are actual issues. Like no one
00:14:55.660
actually cares about Dave Chappelle offending them. Like, oh wait, am I going to that show with my
00:14:59.840
kids? Nope. So why would I care? It's true. It's true. And that kind of leads us to this next
00:15:04.620
article, I guess. So is cancel culture killing comedy? This is actually a really interesting
00:15:11.060
article. She's like, what a joke. But I think, okay, I actually kind of agree with her to an
00:15:15.480
extent. Like one of the things she says, like she says it isn't. She says, uh, if all the
00:15:21.680
aforemented comedians know that cancel culture is stifling comedy because they are effectively
00:15:25.780
censoring themselves, they can stop now. In the vast majority of cases, people who make jokes that
00:15:30.860
are considered offensive in the broadcast possible terms face zero repercussions. In fact,
00:15:35.600
they tend to thrive. Thrive. And I think that's actually true. Like, like it's kind of like just
00:15:40.140
like Dave Chappelle. Yeah, exactly. Like stop pandering and you will be successful. Just keep
00:15:43.980
on keeping on like Dave Chappelle does. He's more famous as he's more famous than ever. Yeah.
00:15:48.420
Arguably. That's true. I don't think he's lost any of his fans over this. No. Right. And I mean,
00:15:52.740
that spirit of fear is going to stifle your comedy. Yeah. So I is cancel culture killing comedy.
00:15:58.820
I think if you let it get the best of you, I think, I think it is though, because like,
00:16:04.120
when is the last time that you watched a TV show? True. Like, like made in the last 10 years.
00:16:09.360
And I'm quoting other people who have said this as well, but it's true. A movie or a TV show that's
00:16:14.400
come out in the last 10 years that you're like, ah, that's so funny. Like that's ripping me apart.
00:16:19.640
Like I can't watch new comedy. Like Modern Family wins all the Emmys for comedy. It's like,
00:16:24.080
it's so woke. It's got some funny moments, but mostly it's a drama. Yeah. It's a drama.
00:16:30.340
Yeah. It's, it's mushy. It's like the last season of Friends. It's not funny. I think it's just like
00:16:36.120
Ted Lasso or whatever. Yeah. That's funny. I think the Mindy project is really funny. Okay. Yeah.
00:16:41.480
I thought Ted Lasso was really sweet. I think it's like that comedy shouldn't be sweet. Like it could be,
00:16:47.760
it can be. Yeah. The Simpsons has really sweet episodes, but like, it also has to be like,
00:16:51.700
what? Yeah. I think like, it's just fewer and fewer things. I think there are those little gems that do
00:16:57.840
come out, but they're not, they're just not common. It's not like a frequent thing. But I think that's
00:17:04.220
because, because creators are letting the fear overtake them. Like, you know, I think it's probably
00:17:11.480
like if I, if you and I went to Comedy Central with a script and it was not woke, they would not
00:17:17.760
take it. Right. You could be like, I'm not fearful. I'm not scared. They would be like, Ooh, where's
00:17:21.960
the trans character? And we're like, there is not one. But do you think it's because the producers
00:17:24.780
are scared of getting canceled as well? Yeah. It's probably a little bit of both. You know,
00:17:29.240
I agree with you. I think, I think there's a lot, a lot kind of that plays into this, but I think
00:17:35.600
ultimately like the moral of the story is just literally keep doing what you're doing. Just do it.
00:17:40.180
Like just keep doing, you know, like they go and try to cancel you, but they probably won't
00:17:44.880
be that successful. You're not that famous anyway. Yeah. So just, yeah. And if you're
00:17:50.100
lucky, you'll get canceled. Yeah. Because you said something awesome and hilarious. And
00:17:54.240
then you'll become actually famous. Yeah, exactly. So just try to piss people off. Jordan Peterson
00:17:58.820
wasn't famous before he got canceled. We weren't famous and now look at us. And we're still
00:18:02.680
not. Yeah. So please cancel us. Please get more offended by what we put out. Please. We're
00:18:09.240
desperate. No, I'm just going to slap her on camera. Whoa. Yeah. Won't be the first
00:18:13.220
time. Um, anyway, don't self censor as a comedian and just didn't do it. And, uh, we're going
00:18:20.080
to skip this because I'm sick of her. Yeah. I don't skip it. We're going to talk about
00:18:24.200
AOC, but who needs to? Nobody. She got arrested guys. She faked being handcuffed. Yeah. That's
00:18:29.940
the end of the story. It was fake. It was stunning and brave. It's embarrassing. Yeah. So
00:18:33.080
okay. Anyway, on to more stunning and brave things. Reddit bans a groomer as an LGB, anti
00:18:41.920
LGBTQ slur under new rules. Oh, holy moly. Well, my first thought was, isn't this a slap
00:18:50.380
in the face to gay people who just want to live their lives? Yeah. Also. Yeah. Who
00:18:54.000
maybe aren't groomers. I think a lot of the gay community is probably not groomers. Yeah.
00:18:58.480
Probably not. Yeah. And also, uh, heteros can be groomers too. Yeah. I looked up the
00:19:02.480
definition. Um, it's someone who builds a relationship, trust, and emotional connection
00:19:06.980
with a child or young person so they can manipulate, exploit, and abuse them. What does that have
00:19:11.580
to do with being gay or trans? Yeah. I just think that conflation is really icky. It's really
00:19:16.720
icky. It's, it's wrong. Um, but also groomer, like that's a serious, serious accusation. Why
00:19:25.600
is that even like, why are we banning that word? Like we should be able to call a spade
00:19:29.480
a spade. If someone's a groomer, we should, as a society to protect children, maybe talk
00:19:35.560
about it and maybe call people out. I don't know. Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe I'm wrong. Yeah.
00:19:39.420
Um, it's almost like people who are offended by the term groomer are groomers. Oopsie.
00:19:46.720
Cause it's like, um, I don't even know if I'm allowed to say this. So, you know, say it,
00:19:50.920
but, um, there's this whole trend of people trying to replace the term pedophile with the,
00:19:56.840
this acronym, which is MAP. Oh yeah. Minor attracted person. I'm not into it. I'm not
00:20:03.140
down with it. If you're attracted to a minor, there's a word for that already. Yes. And
00:20:08.240
there is no cure. And it's a sin. Yeah. And there's no helping you. It's icky. It's super
00:20:14.500
icky. So let, this is just another like step or slippery slope. It's another, we're going
00:20:20.980
down. We're going down and I'm calling Timber. Yeah. Isn't that a song from Kesha?
00:20:27.740
Kesha. Anyway. Uh, I just think like, um, Reddit, it kind of seems like you don't want
00:20:34.440
to protect kids then. Is that, is that what we're concluding? I think so. That's the vibe
00:20:40.000
and it's not a good look. It's really not a good look. No. You'll censor conservative
00:20:43.860
conversations. Yeah. Anything to do with religion or politics. Like I used to be a huge bachelor
00:20:48.600
fan and bachelorette. I loved it. Yeah. And then, and part of that love for me was going
00:20:53.640
on Reddit and just like reading all the SHIT about people and like all the different theories.
00:20:59.060
But then they had this, the hot goss, the tea. Then they had this rule that was like no, uh,
00:21:03.800
politics in the conversations. Yeah. But they, they still do only in one way. Only every
00:21:09.980
thing they're like, Oh, this, this character, this character, this contestant is problematic.
00:21:14.660
They have, they like that one guy, Garrett, he like liked a couple of memes that were pro
00:21:20.040
Trump. So he's problematic. Pro police during the BLM stuff. He posted a blue lives matter
00:21:25.200
thing. So he was problematic and he, and his fiance ended up dumping him because of all this
00:21:30.340
pressure. So it's like, so we're not allowed to talk about politics unless you're on the side
00:21:35.120
of them. So it's like, so it just ruined, it ruined the entire show and franchise for me.
00:21:39.020
And who cares? Like I could, you know, have better things to do, like brush my hair.
00:21:43.740
Exactly. Um, and again, this goes back to our earlier conversation, diversity of thought
00:21:48.260
not accepted by the left. They don't, they only care about diversity that works for them.
00:21:53.620
Yeah. And I guess, well, culture is not just killing comedy, but it's killing other things.
00:21:57.340
Like I was a loyal viewer and I even, I would even get a bell five box to watch cable so
00:22:03.960
that I could watch the bachelor. That's dedication. That was literally, I was like, well, it's
00:22:06.440
the only way to watch it at the time. I don't want to watch it days later when I already
00:22:09.100
hadn't spoiled. It's true. So now I'm like, I don't need the box bell. I don't need it.
00:22:13.000
Yeah. Belle, you've done this to yourself. You've done it to yourself. Um, but have we done
00:22:16.700
this to ourselves because according to the world health organization, sex is not limited
00:22:24.600
to male or female. These are the health experts, the health experts. Are they though? Are they
00:22:30.620
though? Are they though? My first no is L O L L O L. So the WHO has announced that it will
00:22:36.420
be updating a widely used gender mainstreaming manual to include the notion that gender identity
00:22:41.560
exists on a continuum. So wait, is it sex or is it gender identity? They conflate the
00:22:46.680
two. They conflate the two. Oh wait, but isn't that actually what we do? We do. We conflate
00:22:51.320
the two. Yeah. Sex, gender. I'm a woman. Sex, female. Yeah. Hello. Yeah. I'm, I'm cool
00:22:59.720
with someone saying like, I'm a female, but I identify as a male. It's like, whatever. Like
00:23:05.420
you can say those words. Within reason. You can say it and I'll be like, okay, what is cool?
00:23:11.620
But you can't say I was born a male, but now my sex is female. Yeah. That's
00:23:16.660
just the science. There's just, and they, and so the world health organization, sex is
00:23:23.820
not limited to male and female. There's also that one 0.041% of people who are intersex.
00:23:29.140
Well, okay. That is, that is not what they're even talking about. They're talking about people
00:23:32.960
like there, there is a small. Yeah. It's 1.7% of people in the U S are intersex. Okay.
00:23:38.740
So that's literally like a genetic abnormality that you could be like, okay, fine. Maybe they
00:23:42.580
need their own category, but that's not a gender identity. That's not a gender. And that's not
00:23:45.300
right. And that's not what they're talking about here at all. And this whole thing is
00:23:48.200
to expanding the concept of intersectionality to reflect new scientific evidence and conceptual
00:23:53.760
progress on gender. My theory is scientific evidence, conceptual, uh, progress, a lot more
00:24:02.980
conceptual progress. Um, and, and it's kind of dangerous. It's super dangerous. Colin Wright,
00:24:08.580
who's an evolutionary biologist says that subscribe to the sub stack after finding who he is.
00:24:12.980
He also says that it's really dangerous. Um, uh, and he, I'll quote, and I quote, I think
00:24:19.140
it's really dangerous that gender ideology and sex spectrum pseudoscience has infected a global
00:24:23.560
health body. The consequences of distorting reality in medicine can have extremely disastrous
00:24:28.160
consequences because women and men need different levels of care in certain circumstances. So,
00:24:34.080
I mean, if we abolish the definitions of sex and gender, is that going to impact our quality
00:24:39.440
of treatment and health care? It will. Isn't that what the WHO is supposed to be advocating for?
00:24:44.880
Like, aren't they supposed to be for our health and wellbeing? I mean, the pandemic taught us,
00:24:48.960
maybe not, but like, allegedly, allegedly, they should at least pretend, at least pretend a little
00:24:55.280
better. Let's try it. And of course, let's erase women. Yes. This is all of this. Who needs them?
00:25:01.300
Who needs them? Who needs them? Well, the WHO, clearly they're on that path to, to erase us. So,
00:25:08.340
it's been good. Okay. Yeah. And apparently also, so is the dictionary. The dictionary. Yes. So,
00:25:13.140
the Merriam-Webster dictionary changed the definitions of the words female and girl.
00:25:17.860
Woo! Yeah. So, in 2012, the definition of female was of relating to or being the sex that bears
00:25:28.340
young or produces eggs. Oh, we should have worn our shirts that say that. We should have. We have
00:25:31.380
shirts that say that. Compose of members of the female sex characteristics of girls or women having
00:25:36.260
some quality associated with the female sex designed with a hollow or groove into which a
00:25:41.380
corresponding male part fits. That's, that's, well, that's specific. That's for like tools. It's like,
00:25:46.180
this is the female socket. This is like, you know, like sockets. Yeah. That's what they're talking
00:25:49.860
about. This show is rated PG. But also, uh-huh. Um, I like the part where they're like, okay,
00:25:55.380
so in this definition, the first one that you said, belonging to, belonging or relating to women or the
00:26:00.100
sex, the sex, not gender, that can give birth to young or produce eggs. So, the word sex,
00:26:05.780
that's not a gender identity. That is science. That's, that's x's and o's. That's x's and o's.
00:26:10.500
Yeah. X's and y's. Um, and then can give birth or produce eggs. Trans women,
00:26:15.380
they can claim to be women all, all they want and I am fine with that. For sure. Godspeed. Godspeed,
00:26:19.700
I'll call you whatever you want to be called, but you can't produce eggs and you can't give birth.
00:26:24.660
Yeah. This one, she's gonna do it soon and she'll be able to tell you if a man can do it or not.
00:26:32.660
Their pain tolerance is low. Yeah, that's true. Not to mention the fact that they don't have wombs.
00:26:35.540
Yeah. Or, not yet they don't. Yeah. Um, other stuff. But, is this a slippery slope? We've talked about this
00:26:42.100
before. Woo! I think we just found our title for the show. Yeah. It's true. We talk about,
00:26:47.060
we've said that word a little, a phrase a little too much, but we've talked about this before. What,
00:26:50.740
what are they going to change the definition of next? What do you think?
00:26:52.900
Oh, well, we, it wasn't us who came up with this, right? No. But someone mentioned it. Was it Ali
00:26:59.940
Bev? I cannot remember. Somebody. Someone argued that the next thing to come is the definition of
00:27:05.140
a child. What about even the definition of consent? Hmm. What if one person is identifying as having
00:27:11.700
received consent for doing X and Y to you, but the other person's like, no, but that's like your truth.
00:27:16.020
My truth is that I had consent to slap Nat in the face. Yeah. That was, she did. And that was my
00:27:20.820
truth. That's fake news. Very strong. Um, I don't know. I just think this is very dangerous and it's
00:27:27.940
interesting because they didn't seem to change the definition of man. No, they did. They did? Yeah.
00:27:32.580
Oh, well, I'm, I'm standing corrected then. What's the definition of a man? It's the same. I
00:27:38.020
actually didn't look up the actual definition of a man, but I did see, I went on it and it said the
00:27:42.260
same thing or having the identity, gender identity of a man. So basically there is no
00:27:46.340
gender according to the dictionary. Yeah. So why even have two definitions? Get rid of them. Yeah.
00:27:51.460
Get rid of them. Seriously. That's a good point. Why? Um, also the Oxford dictionary and the
00:27:55.700
Cambridge dictionary have not made these changes yet. Okay. So the tradition. Yeah. I hope that they
00:28:01.060
never do. Well, let's make a petition. We'll get 121 signatures and we'll change the world. I can't
00:28:07.300
wait. Yep. Well, um, yeah, you can, I just have a note here. It's just like you can,
00:28:11.940
again, you can change the definition of a female to whatever you want. It's not going to actually
00:28:16.580
change what a female is because biology and science has stood the test of time. God doesn't make
00:28:22.100
mistakes. Y'all he knew Adam was a boy and Eve was a girl and thus creation. Yep. You know how men
00:28:30.260
never change the toilet paper on the roll? Yeah. Biology. That's true. You can't change that. You can't
00:28:36.180
fight nature. You can't, you can't. It's just God bless them. They can't do it. I don't know why
00:28:39.780
their hands just don't bend that way. They're not able to do it. They're just not physically
00:28:43.060
able. Biologically. We'll ask our evolutionary biologists why that is. Yeah. Next episode.
00:28:49.460
But I think that's the sure. That's the sure. I think that's the sure. All right, y'all. Well,
