Summary

The Boy Scouts of America has started allowing girls into their ranks, and the Girl Scouts are suing the Boy Scouts because they don't like it. But what does this have to do with gender fluidity? What does it mean to be a girl or a boy?


Transcript

00:00:00.000 Hey guys, what's up? It's Ali. Today we are going to talk about the difference between men and women
00:00:07.680 and how this very basic truth is being assaulted by regressive progressives. And we're going to
00:00:17.260 talk about a couple stories in which this is on full display. We're going to talk about why the
00:00:23.040 left is doing this, kind of where this came from and what their reasoning is, if you can even call
00:00:27.240 it that. And then of course, we're going to refute all of their silly myths about gender fluidity.
00:00:31.980 So there are two stories that have brought this whole gender fluid movement to mind. And one of
00:00:37.920 them is about the Boy Scouts. So there was an article a few days ago by the Washington Post and
00:00:43.340 the headline of the article is this. Scouts recruitment war raises questions about what it
00:00:48.260 means to be a girl or a boy. Very interesting headline for a publication like the Washington
00:00:55.500 Post, which tends to lean to the left. The fact that it is digging into that question,
00:01:00.140 which so many people haven't even been brave enough to ask what it actually means to be a boy
00:01:05.780 or a girl. Like we haven't even able as a mainstream culture, of course, you and I have, but the mainstream
00:01:11.440 hasn't been willing to even wrestle with that question because even wrestling with the question
00:01:16.080 of what it means to be a boy or a girl is seen as transphobic, especially if you end up when you
00:01:22.920 are wrestling on that question with the side of science. The side of science obviously says that
00:01:28.120 your biology actually dictates your sex, obviously, and that your sex, you know, beyond that, your sex
00:01:34.800 also dictates 99.9% of the time what gender you are. Of course, there is intersex, that tiny percentage
00:01:43.620 of society that was actually born with ambiguous biology. But for the most part, unless you have some
00:01:51.780 kind of dysphoria, like gender dysphoria, which is actually a disorder, then your sex actually
00:01:58.080 determines your gender, what you identify as. But the line of so-called reasoning right now is that
00:02:05.800 your sex is completely independent from your gender, that you can totally choose what you want
00:02:10.960 to be, how you want to be, and that has nothing to do with your biology whatsoever. The idea that your
00:02:16.440 body determines how you behave, how you think, and the choices you make is now seen as bigoted.
00:02:22.940 It's now seen as wrong despite thousands of years of science, psychology, and sociology that proves
00:02:28.560 that your body does indeed affect in large part, not completely, but in large part how you behave and
00:02:34.220 what priorities that you have. Your gender determines a lot of the way you act. But of course, we're not
00:02:40.860 allowed to say that anymore, which is why the Washington Post is wrestling with this question.
00:02:46.620 Scouts recruitment war raises questions about what it means to be a girl or a boy. So if you don't know,
00:02:53.420 Boy Scouts of America has started accepting girls into their ranks. They are no longer going to be
00:03:00.340 exclusive to boys. They already, a few years ago, started letting gay people or gay men be in Boy Scouts and
00:03:08.660 actually lead Boy Scout troops. That was a battle that was fought for a long time, but they ended up
00:03:13.460 giving into that. And now they're going to step further to say, okay, well, we're not going to
00:03:18.260 close our doors to girls either. Now, Girl Scouts of America is not happy about this. They are actually
00:03:23.220 suing Boy Scouts of America because they are taking what it means to be a Girl Scout. Now, Girl Scouts are
00:03:30.480 not doing this because they are socially conservative. They're not. They have been part of the feminist
00:03:34.560 movement for a while. But the Girl Scouts now represents an old kind of feminism, which actually
00:03:41.700 says it's unique and important to be a girl. But they are pushing back against Boy Scouts of America, not
00:03:47.160 primarily for social reasons or certainly not for moral reasons, but really for marketing reasons and for
00:03:52.740 business reasons, because they're afraid that boys are going to take all their customers. They want to remain a
00:03:58.860 unique girl-only organization because that's where they've been able to make their money. That's how
00:04:06.440 they've been able to remain an organization. They are afraid, of course, that Boy Scouts of America,
00:04:11.660 if they accept girls, is going to make them obscure. So they're having this whole battle over this.
00:04:17.600 Girl Scouts is trying to change to offer some of the things that Boy Scouts does. Boy Scouts is trying
00:04:22.120 to accommodate girls. But within that, there is a question. There's a question of what girls like and what
00:04:27.720 boys like and are those things different. And what we are finding out through this story and through
00:04:32.540 even the morphing of these two organizations to try to meet the needs and the desires of boys and
00:04:37.180 girls is that girls and boys are very different. They like different things. They're motivated by
00:04:42.400 different things. They're entertained by different things. That doesn't mean that some girls don't like
00:04:47.040 some things that boys do. It doesn't mean that boys don't like some things that girls do. But it does
00:04:51.920 mean, in general, that boys and girls behave very differently. They value different things.
00:04:57.060 They have fun doing different things. The things that actually build up a girl to be
00:05:02.160 a responsible woman can be different than the things that build up a boy to be a responsible
00:05:06.600 man. And they're trying very hard. The Boy and the Girl Scouts, both pretty progressive organizations
00:05:11.860 now, trying very hard to deny those differences while also pushing them in our faces by showing us
00:05:18.640 the changes that they're making within the organizations to try to accommodate both genders.
00:05:24.260 So it's really interesting because it does ask us the question what it actually means to be a boy
00:05:30.060 or a girl. Can you just say that you are a boy and be a boy? Can you just say that you are a girl
00:05:37.560 and be a girl? Are there real differences between boys and girls or is it just some meaningless social
00:05:43.000 construct? That is what the culture is wrestling with right now. And the reason why I say it's the
00:05:48.340 regressive, progressive left is because this is a question that has been answered for literally
00:05:54.860 millennia. And now we're asking it. And I'll say again, something I've said before, this is one of
00:05:59.940 the reasons why the left and the right are so far apart. Not because our differences are more complex
00:06:04.480 than they used to be, but because they're more fundamental. Things that we agreed on forever,
00:06:09.180 things that had already been proven, we question now. For example,
00:06:13.020 is killing a life inside of the womb actually killing a life? When a woman becomes pregnant
00:06:19.340 with a baby, is it actually a baby or is it a clump of cells? Does it have any value whatsoever?
00:06:24.200 The answer used to be, well, obviously that's true. Even when Roe v. Wade passed, it was,
00:06:30.380 yeah, we still believe that life inside the womb is a life. And if science actually advances,
00:06:36.220 then we'll know that it's a human baby and we won't be able to do this anymore. Of course,
00:06:40.560 that's not the line of reasoning anymore. The line of reasoning is that the life inside the womb is
00:06:44.420 not a life, it's just a clump of cells. And then we have this kind of conversation where we say,
00:06:49.260 okay, are boys and girls really different? Does the testosterone in boys and the estrogen in girls
00:06:55.320 have any kind of social implications whatsoever or not? That used to be, yes, of course it does.
00:07:00.520 Now the question is, I don't know. Of course, we disagree on things like borders. It used to be
00:07:04.500 accepted across the board that, of course, borders are good. Of course, you have to have
00:07:08.140 some kind of sovereign country now that's being questioned. So all of these things that used to
00:07:12.960 be accepted on both sides of the aisle are now becoming points of contention. Now we don't agree
00:07:19.340 on these things anymore. So it is because our differences between the right and the left are
00:07:23.340 so fundamental. That is why we are so far apart, not because of the complexity of our disagreements,
00:07:29.400 but because of the simplicity of the fundamental nature of our disagreements. And this war on gender
00:07:34.800 is just one of those. There's this other story that brings the problems of the transgender gender
00:07:40.560 fluidity movement to the forefront. And that is the story that I'm sure that you guys have heard about
00:07:45.540 the twin boys who live in Texas. They're from divorced parents. They're six years old right now.
00:07:51.680 The mom is a pediatrician. She has decided that one of her boys is going to be a girl. I might have
00:07:57.580 actually talked about this on the podcast before, has decided that one of the boys is going to be a
00:08:02.120 girl, has called the boy Lola, dresses up the boy in girl clothes, the other boy she allows to be a
00:08:08.760 boy. Now the problem is when this boy is with his dad or at school, he chooses to be a boy. He goes by
00:08:14.780 the name of James. He wears boy clothes. He wants to act like a boy. Other people in his life, his teachers
00:08:21.900 and people in different parts of his life where he either does activities or whatever it is,
00:08:28.920 says that he acts like a normal six-year-old boy. Nevertheless, this mother is not only planning
00:08:35.120 to start chemical castration to this boy when he turns eight, so putting him on some kind of hormone
00:08:40.640 therapy that essentially castrates him and has affirmed what she believes is his gender identity,
00:08:47.300 but she is also suing the dad for full rights to her child, suing the dad for child abuse, for not
00:08:53.040 affirming this kid's transgender identity that really his mom has just put on him. She sends him to this
00:08:59.480 gender dysphoria counselor that, of course, is affirming of transgenderism, but she said in, she said
00:09:05.980 herself that actually he does not show persistent signs, inconsistent signs of gender dysphoria, that he
00:09:12.680 actually goes back and forth between, oh, I am going to choose to be a girl when my mom's in the room, but I'm
00:09:17.800 going to choose to be a boy when my dad's in the room because he's a six-year-old kid that just wants to
00:09:21.920 please his parents, as if divorce isn't hard enough for kids. Now he's dealing with a psychotic
00:09:26.340 mother who wants a daughter, basically, and is ruining this poor kid's life. So that brings up
00:09:35.200 other problems to the forefront, is that this whole gender fluidity movement is actually the social
00:09:42.180 construct. So we have these people who are advocates of the gender fluidity movement saying that gender
00:09:48.460 and the differentiations between the sexes are just social constructs, when the reality is that
00:09:53.040 we see not just in this story, but also in other parts of the world that we'll get into, this whole
00:09:57.140 idea of trying to mix the genders into just being one large gender, that is actually the social
00:10:03.020 construct with no science behind it whatsoever. And I think we're going to see more stories like the
00:10:07.420 one that we see in Texas, where parents are forcing their kids into an identity that they
00:10:14.880 don't, that they aren't actually, that they don't identify with, which is very sad. Of course,
00:10:20.660 I believe that mother should be thrown in jail for child abuse, but we have some liberal courts here
00:10:26.360 in Texas. Unfortunately, I'm praying for that family. But again, it brings up this question that
00:10:31.580 we're dealing with. What does it mean to be a boy or a girl? Of course, we who have functioning brains,
00:10:39.000 we who are, you can even call it conservative, but it shouldn't even be conservative,
00:10:43.680 who are just in touch with reality. Of course, we know that there are differences between boys and
00:10:47.580 girls. But the popular message on the left is that there's really not. And here's what's behind
00:10:53.640 that. Here's what's behind the gender fluidity movement that's pushed by feminists, third wave
00:10:57.880 feminists. And I won't even actually say third wave. It's been pushed for a long time. Here's what's
00:11:02.720 behind it. They believe that if we push this gender fluidity myth, that gender is this thing that just
00:11:12.100 oscillates depending on the day, depending on what you feel, that there is no gender that's actually
00:11:17.760 tied to a certain anatomy, no gender that's tied to another anatomy, that there's no behavior that
00:11:24.380 a woman prefers. There is no kind of jobs that a woman prefers. Same thing for men. This is all a
00:11:29.920 social construct that needs to be deconstructed. It's called patriarchy. Feminists believe that if
00:11:35.460 they tear down all of these differences between men and women, and they make us just into this
00:11:39.480 one big blob of one gender, then finally we will reach our egalitarian paradise. There will be
00:11:45.600 no domestic abuse or no abuse, at least from men to women. There's not going to be a gender pay gap.
00:11:52.740 There's not going to be inequity of any kind. We're all just going to be equal. All of the abuses and all
00:11:58.020 of the discrimination and the sexism and the horrible disparities that we see between men and women
00:12:03.540 are no longer going to exist if we just convince people that men and women are the same.
00:12:08.400 Of course, how you do that is that you convince women to take on more masculine traits and you
00:12:13.400 convince men to take on more feminine traits. That is part of the push behind abortion, for example,
00:12:20.080 because if men are able to walk away from unwanted pregnancies, then women should be able to walk
00:12:25.700 away from unwanted pregnancies too. So that's what feminists have been doing for a long time is
00:12:30.880 making men more like women and making women more like men to create one big gender and this one
00:12:35.900 egalitarian in paradise. Gloria Steinem, who is a very famous feminist, she's in her 80s now,
00:12:41.680 so she might have even started with the first wave feminists and the suffragettes. She's so old.
00:12:47.600 But she was in a PBS interview a few years back and she was asked by the interviewer about biological
00:12:54.140 differences between men and women. She says, even if they're right, even if these people who are
00:12:59.460 asserting that biological differences exist between men and women, even if they're right,
00:13:03.420 it doesn't have to continue to be so. So what we see by the so-called side of science,
00:13:10.060 the so-called ideology of science, that they are desirous to overcome science in order to put in
00:13:18.120 their social construct. Of course, they say that everything they believe is scientific,
00:13:22.540 but we see from Gloria Steinem's mouth that it's actually not. It doesn't actually matter if there's a
00:13:27.540 scientific difference between men and women. What matters, what's most important is the social
00:13:33.420 reality we want, this egalitarian utopia, which we really know as a dystopia that we desire.
00:13:41.420 That's more important than the scientific differences. We can overcome the scientific
00:13:45.560 differences between men and women to have the future that we want because they believe that
00:13:51.580 eliminating or pretending to eliminate the differences between men and women is going to
00:13:57.200 actually eliminate discord, eliminate inequality, eliminate discrimination. So that's why they see
00:14:04.280 this gender fluid movement as a human rights movement, as good for women. But here's the trap
00:14:11.560 that they're getting into. So in doing that, they set the stage for the transgender movement. Because if
00:14:16.900 men can be just like women and women can be just like men and no one can tell you any differently,
00:14:22.400 then why can't women be men? And why can't men be women? Well, the feminists would say that's a really
00:14:29.440 good question. So they've opened the door to this transgender movement, which basically says,
00:14:34.360 if I feel like a woman today, then I am a woman. It doesn't matter what my anatomy is. And if I feel
00:14:39.500 like a man today, then I'm a man. It doesn't matter what my anatomy is. But here's the problem that
00:14:43.960 feminists are running into. They're running into the fact that all of the work that they say they've put
00:14:48.540 in for women to accomplish things, to be in Congress, to be in boardrooms, to be president
00:14:56.280 of the United States. Well, all of that's going to be mood when all of the people who become the
00:15:00.240 first woman are actually biological men. Men are going to end up being better women than women are.
00:15:07.740 So that's really going to suck when all of the people that take the titles that feminists say that
00:15:12.760 they have worked so hard for women to achieve are actually biological men. I don't think feminists are
00:15:18.480 going to be very excited about that. They talk so much about the unique experiences of women,
00:15:23.220 the sexism women have dealt with, all of the biological things the women have to go through,
00:15:28.080 which quite honestly suck. And they talk about the unique strength that women have because we are
00:15:33.560 women because of our unique experiences. Well, these biological men have not gone through those
00:15:37.980 experiences, and yet they are going to get all the accolades and achievements that we women have been
00:15:42.680 working towards, that feminists say that they have been working towards, and they haven't had any of the
00:15:47.380 same experiences as we do. Okay, well, that's interesting. I mean, think about it. Why can't
00:15:53.500 President Trump tomorrow say that he's a woman and say that he's the first woman president? Then Hillary
00:15:58.840 Clinton or Kamala Harris, whoever becomes president next, isn't going to be able to say that they're the
00:16:05.200 first president. Why not? Why can't President Trump say that? And then it's no longer going to be
00:16:10.480 someone that they hail a hero on the left who becomes the first woman president and who accomplishes
00:16:15.380 this thing. It's actually going to be a biological male who has lived his whole life as a biologically
00:16:19.880 rich male. But now he says that he's a woman. So he's actually the first woman president.
00:16:24.700 I'm not so sure that the feminists are going to be excited about that. I mean, say goodbye to female
00:16:30.240 athletics. Really? I mean, say that there's a transgender man that plays basketball against
00:16:35.680 women, that runs track, that plays soccer, wrestling, any of those sports that are the side that's
00:16:44.600 reserved for women, is infiltrated by biological men. We don't stand a chance. Women do not stand
00:16:50.340 a chance in this whole thing of identifying as whatever gender you want to. That is how the
00:16:55.320 patriarchy is going to end up winning over women. It's going to be that they infiltrate womanhood by
00:17:02.680 being transgender because it will mean nothing to be a woman anymore. It will have no significance
00:17:09.640 whatsoever. You can give birth. OK, whatever. Men and women can give birth. You experience sexism from
00:17:19.180 a young age. OK, whatever. Men and women both do. It doesn't mean anything to be a woman. And I'm not
00:17:25.240 sure that feminists are going to end up being very happy with that. But there are also obviously much
00:17:31.000 bigger problems with this whole gender fluid movement that have nothing to do with feminism,
00:17:35.800 because quite frankly, I don't really care about the plight of feminism very much. There's obviously
00:17:40.940 sociological and psychological perspectives in this or problems with this, that it just doesn't
00:17:48.640 work because men and women are different, because women have more estrogen than men do. Men have more
00:17:54.880 testosterone than women do. And that actually affects how you behave. Your brains are actually created
00:18:00.420 differently. Women tend to be more nurturing, more nourishing, better communicators. We are better
00:18:05.920 at handling crises. We are better at multitasking than men are. Men happen to usually be more aggressive,
00:18:14.740 more willing to fight, protect, defend. They're better at compartmentalizing. In situations, they're
00:18:19.960 better at actually fixing the problem than just analyzing the problem. Men and women complement each other
00:18:25.160 really well. But we complement each other because of our differences. And we are actually biologically
00:18:29.780 made that way. Now, the caveat to that is, of course, that just because you are a man doesn't
00:18:34.780 mean that you have to be overly aggressive or always wanting to fight or riding four-wheelers and
00:18:39.780 fishing and hunting all the time. That's not what it means to be a man. That is not even, in my opinion,
00:18:44.960 what it means to be masculine. You don't have to necessarily be physically strong to be a masculine man.
00:18:50.920 In a way, gender is a, if you want to call it a spectrum, it is in some ways. And that there are
00:18:58.700 women who want to just be moms, and I don't mean just, but want to only be moms and to nurture and
00:19:06.400 nourish and to help and to cook their whole lives. There are also women who want to be CEOs and want
00:19:11.920 to be president and who are career-oriented. There is a spectrum there. The same thing with men. There
00:19:18.440 are male dancers. Then there are male wrestlers, whatever it is. There is a spectrum on both sides
00:19:27.000 of gender that says, okay, you don't have to be one way. You don't have to fit into a compartment.
00:19:31.480 But if you look throughout time and history, throughout every single culture, there are very
00:19:36.580 real differences between men and women that just can't be denied. Men are always, in virtually every
00:19:43.140 single society, for as long as humans have existed, the ones who hunt and the ones who defend and protect
00:19:50.880 and provide. That's what men do in tribes, in societies, in nations. That's what they do.
00:19:56.860 Women don't. Women typically stay back. They typically raise the children. They typically
00:20:00.560 cook, and they garden, and they gather, they nurture, and they beautify. That's just what women
00:20:04.880 do. They're good at cultivating. They're good at maximizing. They're good at taking something
00:20:08.840 and making it grow, making it better. Men are really good at conquering and destroying and then
00:20:14.740 building something back up. That's how men and women complement each other. That's how they've
00:20:18.580 complemented each other throughout history. So the way to know if something is true is to say,
00:20:24.080 is this true throughout time, throughout history, in multiple societies? Like, this isn't just a
00:20:29.900 Western thing. It's not just an Eastern thing. And that is true of men and women, the differences
00:20:34.060 between men and women, the aggression that men show, the capacity for nurturing that women show.
00:20:39.200 It has been true forever. So it doesn't make sense that it is a social construct because it's not
00:20:44.520 just part of one or a few societies. It's been a part of every society. Now, that's not to say
00:20:49.520 every society has been exactly the same, that every society has been patriarchal per se, or every
00:20:56.200 society has had the exact same gender hierarchy. But in general, the rules have been separate and the
00:21:02.160 rules have been between hunting and defending, doing things with your hands, and nurturing and
00:21:09.680 growing. Women, men, different. And if you even look today, so for example, Sweden, so they're one
00:21:20.200 of the most egalitarian, I believe, yes, it's Sweden and Norway, all of the Scandinavian countries.
00:21:25.520 Sweden is one of the most egalitarian countries in that it has a nationwide commitment to ending the
00:21:33.240 gender wage gap, whatever that means. They also have equal and very generous paternal and maternal
00:21:45.480 leave, so parental leave. But what's interesting about that is even with their nationwide commitment
00:21:50.960 to gender pay equality, even though they have a very generous parental leave program for men and for
00:21:57.920 women. Men still work a lot more than women do in Sweden. And women still have more part-time jobs as
00:22:05.140 opposed to full-time jobs than men do. Women still take up 75% of the parental leave allocation. 90% of
00:22:13.420 those who work part-time to care for family are women. And men still make more than women do. And this
00:22:20.700 is in a very egalitarian society where the laws are egalitarian, where the laws are set up to include
00:22:26.020 women at every single level that men are included. And what do we see? We see that men choose different
00:22:31.840 things than women do. That men still work more than women do. That women work less than men do because
00:22:37.180 they choose to stay home. So it has nothing to do with society. It has nothing to do with laws. We're
00:22:42.320 not going to be able to legislate away the differences between men and women. We're just not. Sweden is a very
00:22:48.580 progressive place. It's a very leftist place. And yet what we see is that there is an inherent,
00:22:54.300 there is an innate distinction between men and women that just cannot and will not be overcome.
00:23:02.700 We see in this study by Psychological Science found that countries that are more egalitarian have
00:23:08.880 fewer women working in the STEM field, despite massive efforts to attract women to STEM. And
00:23:14.680 Professor Stowett, someone who was a part of this study, said, it's important to take into account that
00:23:19.300 girls are choosing not to study STEM for what they feel are valid reasons. So campaigns that target
00:23:24.180 all girls may be a waste of energy and resources. What that shows is that women just have different
00:23:30.480 priorities, different inclinations, and at times different talents than men do. The reason they
00:23:35.640 don't choose STEM is because they don't want to go into STEM. It's not because of the patriarchy. It's
00:23:39.900 not because men are holding them back. It's not because they're intimidated. They want to have kids
00:23:44.540 a lot of times. I'm not saying all the time, but they want to have families. They don't want to have
00:23:48.480 to work all the time. They don't like the idea of having to provide for their family for the next 55 years.
00:23:53.280 Women are just different than men. And again, this is a generalization. Not all women are exactly like
00:23:58.960 this. Not all men are exactly like this. But the vast majority of the time, enough to make it a rule
00:24:04.280 that men are different than women. And the statistics show that, not just throughout history, but also
00:24:08.840 now, even in the most egalitarian places. In the United States, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics
00:24:14.440 listed the most dangerous jobs of 2017, meaning the most fatalities that occur within a job,
00:24:21.040 logging, fishing, mining, all of those kind of things that are just very precarious,
00:24:26.120 dominated by men. Dominated completely. I don't want to say 100%, but very dominated. Some of them
00:24:33.480 had 99, I think it was like fishing jobs, 99.9% men. Now, the left likes to say anywhere that there's
00:24:39.940 a gap, that means there's discrimination. Couldn't be for any other factor. Couldn't certainly be for an
00:24:45.320 inherent biological factor. No, that's sexism. So are you trying to tell me that the fishing industry
00:24:50.520 is discriminating against women? That the fishing industry is leaving out women? You really think so?
00:24:56.660 You think people are tearing down the door to be in the fishing industry? You think the mining industry
00:25:02.180 is turning down women? No, I don't think so. It's because women don't want to do that. We don't want to
00:25:08.600 mine. We don't want to be in the fishing industry. We don't want to do all, we don't want to be loggers.
00:25:14.180 We don't want to, in general, be carpenters. We don't want to do that. Why? Because that's just not
00:25:19.520 what women are good at. That's not what we're inclined to do. Because there's a difference between
00:25:24.400 men and women. Feminists will not believe that because it ruins, like I said, their whole egalitarian
00:25:31.120 idea of what the future should be. If we just eliminated these differences, then there will be no abuse.
00:25:36.520 There will be no disparity. There will be no discrimination whatsoever. That's just not
00:25:41.220 going to happen. Now, I don't think abuse is good. I don't think discrimination is good. But the reason
00:25:46.480 those things exist is because men and women are sinful. And anytime human beings are around or
00:25:53.780 involved in something, there is going to be sin. There's going to be abuse of power. And yes, of course,
00:25:59.720 men have abused their power of women. They have abused their physical superiority over women. And that's
00:26:06.020 wrong. But that's never not going to happen. Being a more, quote, egalitarian society is not going to
00:26:12.640 make men less strong. It's not going to make them equal in strength to women. It's just not going to
00:26:18.480 happen. Men and women will always be different. And so rather than trying to stifle those things,
00:26:23.800 rather than trying to repress those things, we should teach men how to be good men, how to be
00:26:28.600 responsible men, how to take care of their families, how to take ownership, how to take responsibility,
00:26:33.460 how to stay put when they make choices where their baby mama ended up with an unwanted pregnancy.
00:26:42.660 Like, we should be teaching them to be good dads, to be hard workers. We shouldn't have a welfare
00:26:46.920 system that incentivizes fatherlessness. And for the woman to have more kids, we should have a system
00:26:53.280 and we should have a country. We should have a society that encourages responsibility, whether you
00:26:58.040 are a man or a woman, and lifts up the unique strengths of men and women. Because men and women
00:27:03.240 do complement each other. There are so many things that women are better at than men are. And there
00:27:07.360 are a lot of things that men are better at than women are. I'm not the kind of person that says women
00:27:11.540 shouldn't try to be CEOs, that we shouldn't run for office, that we shouldn't be doing things that
00:27:16.980 are at the forefront. Obviously, I believe that I should have a platform and I'm okay with being
00:27:22.200 outspoken. But at the end of the day, I also know that my priorities and my responsibilities are
00:27:27.520 different than my husband. Now, I don't want to speak for every single marriage out there,
00:27:32.680 particularly if you're not a Christian, because this is a biblical perspective. But there's also
00:27:36.980 sociological and psychological evidence behind this. Like I said, at the end of the day,
00:27:42.020 my husband is responsible for providing for our family. If we both lose our job, he's the one that's
00:27:48.780 going out and getting a job. And if we have kids, I'm the one taking care of our kids.
00:27:54.280 That's just, and again, that's not for every single family. I definitely know stay-at-home dads,
00:27:58.840 there's nothing wrong with that. But I'm saying at the end of the day, if we had to choose,
00:28:03.260 if the choice was put upon us, he's going to be the one that's responsible for making sure that we
00:28:08.940 have a roof over our heads and that we've got food to eat. That's just how it is. And I'm good with
00:28:14.520 that. I love being a woman because at the end of the day, I know that he takes responsibility for
00:28:19.440 those things. I love working. I love doing what I do. But I'm also very confident in being a woman
00:28:25.940 and having the unique strengths that I have. And I don't want to be a man and I don't want to be like
00:28:29.980 a man. And whether you are single, whether you are married, whether you are not a mom, whether you
00:28:34.400 are a mom, or if you're a guy and you fill those roles as well, it's not about necessarily
00:28:40.760 being a mother to be more like a woman or being a wife to be more like a woman. It's just owning
00:28:46.460 your unique strengths and not denying them because you think that being a woman is weak or being a
00:28:52.820 man that you might have guilt for being strong. It's owning those unique strengths that God has
00:28:58.220 given us and using them to the best of your ability in whatever capacity you can and whatever field you
00:29:03.220 can. Feminists don't want that because they see that as discrimination and inequality.
00:29:08.020 So that's basically all I have to say about all of that, just to dispel all of the gender
00:29:14.400 fluid myths and kind of outline where they came from and how we got here and why they're so
00:29:21.280 detrimental to society. They're obviously anti-family, they're anti-science, they're anti-reality.
00:29:26.580 And it's going to take a number, especially, I think, on our men. And who loses in that battle
00:29:31.320 of trying to emasculate men? We both do. Both men and women do. Because again,
00:29:35.780 it's not good for the family and passive men make for torn apart families and broken down
00:29:41.460 communities, which leads to torn apart nations. So those are the implications for that. If you
