Summary
A federal judge in Texas ruled that a male-only draft is unconstitutional in 2019. Does this mean that women should not be drafted into combat? And why is this even a controversial topic at all? I'll answer these questions and more in this episode of Relatable.

Hey guys, welcome to Relatable. I hope that you guys had a great weekend. As you know,
00:00:05.400
my husband and I were on our baby moon last week. We were in Colorado. We really enjoyed it.
00:00:11.320
We really did nothing except for sit around, finish an entire season of The Office. We finished
00:00:17.400
actually the series all the way through. I think it's probably the seventh time at least for me.
00:00:22.400
And we ate a lot of food, a lot of room service. It was probably seven degrees outside. And so we
00:00:30.000
just kind of relaxed, which to me is the perfect kind of baby moon. So we really enjoyed ourselves.
00:00:36.320
Last week, we kind of did on the podcast more topical, non-time sensitive subjects because I
00:00:43.940
was gone. I got a lot of great feedback from that, but there was so much that I wanted to talk about
00:00:49.380
in the news. Obviously the Jesse Smollett thing was like, oh my gosh, I was just bursting wanting to
00:00:55.300
talk to you guys about it because it's so ridiculous. At this point though, I feel like
00:00:59.620
I don't want to beat a dead horse. It's been analyzed, talked about so much. I've been on TV
00:01:05.220
talking about it. It's crazy. It's what happens when you make victimhood a virtue. And also when
00:01:12.120
you demonize people who wear red hats and have white skin as racist rednecks, things like this
00:01:18.600
become believable. And you run with the story without knowing the facts because it fits into the
00:01:23.140
left-wing media narrative. I'm glad that justice was served. I hope this serves as an example to other
00:01:28.220
people who would do the same thing as Jesse Smollett did. That's not what we're going to talk about
00:01:32.940
today. Today, we are going to talk about a very controversial topic as if the Jesse Smollett thing
00:01:38.780
wasn't controversial. This is probably even more controversial. We are going to talk about a case
00:01:45.020
that was decided by a federal judge in Texas about the draft, including women. You probably have a lot
00:01:52.620
of questions about that. Like, do we even have a draft? I had no idea we had a draft. And wait,
00:01:58.000
women, they're not drafted. Should they be drafted? Do women serve in combat? I'm here to answer all of
00:02:03.940
your questions. And then we're going to talk about how this points to a greater trend, especially among
00:02:08.820
the left, but honestly adopted by some people on the right of equality through homogeny. That's what I
00:02:14.720
call it. Equality through sameness, equality through pretending that there are no differences
00:02:20.440
whatsoever between the genders and what that means for society and why that's something that we need
00:02:25.460
to push back on, despite that we are going to continually be called bigots and old-fashioned
00:02:31.440
for doing so. So let me catch you up to speed on this particular story. Like I said, a federal judge
00:02:36.780
in Texas ruled that a male-only draft is unconstitutional. He said that in 2019, there is
00:02:44.460
no reason to discriminate between men and women when it comes to the draft. This is a Bush appointee,
00:02:49.560
by the way, Judge Gray Miller. It was a case called National Coalition for Men versus Selective
00:02:55.340
Service System. So the National Coalition for Men is an organization, I think maybe based in San Diego,
00:03:01.640
who fights for the rights of men who believe that there is discrimination against men because men
00:03:08.400
are the only ones who are drafted. And if they don't sign up for the selective service system,
00:03:12.860
we'll get into that in a second. There are consequences to that. And they see this as gender
00:03:17.720
inequality against men. So this particular case, Judge Gray Miller disagreed with a 1980s case
00:03:24.780
saying that actually that said the opposite of what he said, which is that only men were meant
00:03:31.720
to register for the draft and that it wasn't unconstitutional because only men at that point
00:03:37.720
were eligible to serve in combat. But that's no longer the case. As of 2013, Obama's Department
00:03:44.280
of Defense lifted the ban on women serving in combat. So this judge, Judge Gray Miller,
00:03:50.380
tactically correct on his assessment, perhaps of the unconstitutionality of it, perhaps in light of
00:03:58.100
the fact that women are now able to serve in combat. There's not really a legal reason. I don't see
00:04:05.140
maybe as some scholar can come along and refute me on this. There might not be a legal reason
00:04:10.440
anymore that they should not be drafted. But the question is, I think, are there other common
00:04:15.820
sense, social, practical, sexual reasons that women should not be drafted, particularly into combat?
00:04:23.260
Are there reasons that women should not be in combat at all? I think so. But first,
00:04:28.240
let us back up just a little bit. The question is, do we have a draft? That's a big question that I've
00:04:32.900
seen on Twitter a lot when this story has been circulating is, do we even have a draft? I thought
00:04:38.580
we didn't have a draft. We do have a selective service system. So right now, all men between
00:04:44.460
the ages of 18 and 25 have to register for the selective service system within 30 days of their
00:04:50.020
18th birthday. If they fail to do that, they could lose various forms of federal aid, including Pell
00:04:55.740
grants. There are other consequences that could ensue if you do not sign up for the selective service
00:05:01.920
system within 30 days of your 18th birthday. Men can be drafted in times of crisis that requires
00:05:07.640
more troops than have already volunteered. It's authorized by the president and by Congress.
00:05:13.300
It's a lottery system. That was something that was put into place under Richard Nixon.
00:05:18.320
But the draft has not been used since 1973. So it's been a really long time since it's been used.
00:05:23.940
It's very unlikely that it'll be used again. Of course, you never know. We live in crazy times.
00:05:28.820
So of course, the draft could be used again, but it hasn't been. We have had sufficient people
00:05:33.080
serving in the military on a voluntary basis that we have not had to use the draft. So
00:05:37.760
at this point with this court decision, it would be up to Congress to actually to talk about
00:05:43.220
legislation in this regard. Various attempts, bipartisan attempts, by the way. So Republicans
00:05:49.640
and Democrats have attempted to to allow women to be drafted or to make women to sign up for the
00:05:56.880
selective service system. Proponents of this on both sides of the aisle say, hey, this is equality.
00:06:02.760
This is the gender equality that you women said that you wanted, which, by the way, I resent being
00:06:07.700
included in that because I'm not a feminist. But they say proponents say this is gender equality.
00:06:13.180
This is this is what we need to do. They say there are lots of ways for men and women to serve
00:06:19.420
in our country. It doesn't have to necessarily be combat. And so they're saying there's no reason
00:06:24.380
that we should not use women's talents to serve. It just doesn't make any sense, they say. But
00:06:28.900
opponents like myself, but opponents like a Ted Cruz in Congress, for example, say, no, thanks.
00:06:35.980
No, thanks. I don't think that our daughter should be drafted. I'm sorry. It's just different. And
00:06:40.600
the big intention really is that since combat is now open to women, this might require women to serve
00:06:46.140
in combat units. And opponents are saying, well, that should not be forced. Women should not be
00:06:51.540
forced to serve in combat. But let me give my take. I'll take that a step further and say that
00:06:58.080
women should not be in combat at all. Women should not be in combat at all. Not just forced to serve
00:07:04.820
in combat, but they should not be in combat at all. Combat is not for women. And I'll I'll get to why
00:07:09.820
they shouldn't be drafted for other reasons because of what it could mean to the American family when
00:07:17.020
women are demanded to be everywhere except for the home. And I know that seems bigoted and archaic,
00:07:22.940
but gender roles are existent for a reason. The only way that I would get on board with women being
00:07:31.940
required to sign up for the selective service system is if a Trump's Department of Defense
00:07:37.780
reinstated the ban on women in combat. So if I were to want to old now, I'm 26, but my daughter,
00:07:44.720
when she turns 18, this is why I don't like this, by the way, I don't want my daughter to be drafted.
00:07:49.280
But if my daughter had to sign up for the selective service committee at 30 days within her 18th
00:07:55.240
birthday, I would want to know that she is at least not being drafted into combat. If there are other
00:08:01.680
areas of service that she can serve in. OK, don't want her to be drafted into combat. So if a Trump's
00:08:08.920
Department of Defense reinstated the ban on women in combat and therefore if a woman is drafted,
00:08:13.300
she will be drafted into non-combat forms of service. OK, but that would have to be coupled
00:08:18.900
with me for to ever. Well, I don't ever want to get on board with the draft, period. But in order
00:08:24.140
for me not to think that this is a complete and total moral travesty, the second caveat that I
00:08:28.460
would require is that married women and mothers are all exempt from being drafted. They don't have
00:08:33.200
to sign up for the selective service committee if they're already married by the time they're 18 and
00:08:39.260
they are exempt from being drafted if they are married or mothers. And that includes pregnant
00:08:45.020
women, obviously, which would require us to define an unborn child as a person, which is another
00:08:51.780
problem that we seem to have in this country. We have very fundamental moral issues in this country,
00:08:56.380
if you haven't noticed. We also need to think about the biological and social reality that the left
00:09:02.180
and some people on the right just don't want to accept in all of this. They want to talk about
00:09:06.780
equality. They want to talk about this utopia where there's really no difference in the roles
00:09:10.920
between men and women. What they don't want to accept, what no one seems to want to accept anymore
00:09:15.880
is the basic reality that men and women are different. It's not just a social construct,
00:09:20.960
but we are different. I do not believe in forcing a woman into combat or into any kind of military
00:09:26.840
service during her educational years and her prime childbearing years. Now, you guys have talked
00:09:33.640
or you have heard me talk about before. I don't think that a woman is reduced to just having kids.
00:09:38.320
I don't think the biggest and best thing that you can do in your life is necessarily only having kids,
00:09:42.840
not even from a Christian perspective. And I don't mean only like that's a small thing,
00:09:46.740
but I mean, that is not our number one goal. Our number one goal is to do what we're good at for
00:09:51.960
the glory of God. And if God calls you to singleness and ministry, that might not mean having
00:09:56.700
physical children and that's okay. Christ fulfills you outside of that. But from a practical social
00:10:04.820
perspective, if we're talking about taking up the time between 18 and 26 years old or 18 and 25 years
00:10:12.100
old for a woman, her prime, not just childbearing years, but also when she's going to go to college,
00:10:16.780
when she's going to get her first job, when she probably will find the person that she's going to
00:10:22.340
end up with, you're talking about delaying that by a few years. If in the rare occasion, a draft
00:10:26.760
would ever actually happen. And what does that actually mean for society? You also have to think
00:10:31.800
about the sexual implications, which we're going to get to in just a little bit with some data,
00:10:35.960
the sexual implications of men and women serving together in close quarters. If women are allowed
00:10:41.580
to be in combat units, which like I said, I don't think they should. And the reason why I don't think
00:10:47.560
that they should be in combat units. So we're talking about not just being drafted, which I've already
00:10:51.700
explained why I don't think they should be drafted. The main reason being is because I don't think that
00:10:56.560
they should be drafted into combat, which right now they are allowed to be. And the reason why I
00:11:00.520
don't think that women should be in combat is because they are categorically not as lethal as
00:11:06.500
men are. They're just not. We do not have the same strength. We don't have the same capabilities as
00:11:11.300
men. There are lots of things that women are better at than men. We just, we are just in general,
00:11:16.940
we are better communicators than men in general. We are better at doing multiple tasks in general.
00:11:21.560
We are better handling crises than men are in general. We are better nurturers in general.
00:11:26.540
We are better at calming people down and assessing the situation and figuring out a plan
00:11:30.860
and moving forward with that. When there are a million different people commanding our attention,
00:11:35.520
there are a lot of things that women are better at than men. Lethality and military is generally
00:11:41.380
not one of them. This is not just me talking. This is not just an opinion I have. I am going to
00:11:47.960
site a study by the Marine Corps that was conducted in 2015. It was a study to understand gender
00:11:54.440
integration in the military after that 2013 order that required women to be allowed into combat units
00:12:01.300
that happened under President Obama. This was a comprehensive study and you should go online and
00:12:06.980
read it. You could just Google Marine Corps study 2015. It'll show or gender integration. That'll
00:12:14.980
probably give you a more specific search. And it was very kind towards the women. And I too want to
00:12:21.460
reiterate that I'm very thankful for the women who have served in military. And I'm very thankful for
00:12:26.040
those who have put their lives on the line, no matter what gender they are. But when it comes to
00:12:31.120
military, we should be looking at lethality much higher or much more than we should be looking at
00:12:36.960
equality. So like I said, Marine Corps conducted this study in 2015 after the 2013 order that required
00:12:43.660
women to be integrated into every part of the military, including combat units. It was a large
00:12:49.220
study and it looked at combat effectiveness. So that was the thing that they were testing for.
00:12:54.120
And they mostly looked at two qualifications for combat effectiveness. It was speed and focus.
00:12:59.260
So the findings were, uh, or the findings were looking at, were comparing all male squads versus gender
00:13:06.460
integrated squads. And so they looked at speed and what they found is this all male squads performed
00:13:12.300
faster on every single task compared to gender integrated squads. As the study says that
00:13:17.740
differences were even more pronounced, um, in the specialties that carried the assault load and the
00:13:22.900
additional weight of the weapons and ammunition. So in tasks where the crew had to carry more weight,
00:13:28.120
the differences in speed were even more stark. The all male crews were that much faster when heavy
00:13:33.540
weight was involved. When it came to lethality, all male squads showed better accuracy on every single
00:13:39.320
task compared to gender, gender integrated squads. Um, the study says there was a notable difference
00:13:45.060
between genders for every individual weapon system. Um, they also looked at males with less training
00:13:51.700
had higher hit percentages. So better hit percentages than females with more training than them. So if you
00:13:58.120
need evidence for inherent gender differences, this is about it. And I'm going to read, um, another
00:14:02.880
little section from it. All male squads, teams, and crews and gender integrated squads, teams,
00:14:07.280
and crews had a noticeable difference in their performance of the basic combat tasks of negotiating
00:14:12.720
obstacles and evacuating casualties. For example, when negotiating the wall obstacle, uh, male Marines
00:14:19.160
threw their packs on top of the wall, whereas female Marines required regular assistance in getting
00:14:23.600
their packs to the top. During casualty evacuation assessments, there were noticeable differences in
00:14:28.840
execution times between all male and gender integrated groups, except in the case where teams
00:14:34.360
conducted a casualty evacuation as a one Marine fireman's carry of another, in which case it was
00:14:40.360
most often a male Marine who evacuated the casualty. And then it also looked at the health and the
00:14:46.040
welfare of Marines. So who actually got injured more, who was okay after they had to perform, uh,
00:14:52.140
these tasks. They said there is a well-documented comparative disadvantage in upper and lower body
00:14:58.020
strength, uh, for females that resulted in higher levels of fatigues, which contributed to greater
00:15:03.660
incidents of overuse injuries as well, or such as stress fractures. Um, it talked about the body
00:15:10.320
composition where males averaged 178 pounds with 20% body fat females averaged 142 pounds with 24% body
00:15:17.780
fat anaerobic power of females possess 15% less power than males. Uh, the female top 25th, uh, percent,
00:15:26.180
uh, this is cut off overlaps with the bottom 25, 25th percentile for males. And so the best females
00:15:34.740
we're comparing with the worst males consistently anaerobic capacity females possess 15% less capacity.
00:15:41.860
The female top 10th percentile overlaps with the bottom 50th, 50th percentile of males. Um, so we have
00:15:48.960
also 10% lower capacity anaerobic capacity or, oh, sorry, aerobic capacity. So in general, women simply
00:15:58.080
do not have the same capacity or strength or power or endurance or ability to perform difficult tasks
00:16:04.760
in which speed and focus and carrying weight. So strength is needed. Uh, that's not a knock on women.
00:16:11.740
That's simply how women were made. Like I said, women have many, many strengths that men do not have.
00:16:18.580
And then I quite frankly think are enviable. Um, but being in combat, isn't one of them. Uh, female
00:16:26.400
Marines also says we're injured at more than six times the rate of men during preliminary training.
00:16:31.840
Um, this is mostly because, uh, men's testosterone levels produce stronger bones, stronger muscles.
00:16:38.780
Um, even the fittest women, this is from the wall street journal, uh, must work at maximal physical
00:16:44.600
capacity when carrying a hundred pound pack or repeatedly loading heavy shells into a cannon.
00:16:49.180
That wasn't true for a man. So whereas I might be operating at a hundred percent doing something,
00:16:54.620
my husband might only be operating at 20 to 50%. And so you have to think about that when it comes to
00:17:00.600
accuracy and your ability to carry out subsequent tasks. If I'm using all of my energy to do the tasks
00:17:05.780
that I was doing before, uh, that's probably going to take away from my effectiveness. Um, Heather
00:17:10.960
McDonald in the wall street journal said that ignoring this large Marine study, then defense
00:17:16.140
secretary. So back in 2013, 2015, um, Ash Carter opened all combat rules to women rather than
00:17:23.320
requiring new female combat recruits to meet the same physical standards as men. The military began
00:17:29.660
crafting gender neutral standards in the hope that more women would qualify. So we're not even talking
00:17:36.680
about women trying to reach the same standards as men. We're talking about lowering the standard. So more
00:17:42.260
women would qualify. So what we've seen, particularly, um, in the Obama DOD, that the military really became
00:17:49.620
a social experiment, that it became more important to be equal than to be lethal. And when you're talking
00:17:55.380
about not only winning wars and, uh, protecting whatever cause we are fighting for, but also, um, reducing
00:18:02.580
the number of casualties, saving American lives, we are prioritizing a social experiment, not hurting
00:18:10.460
women and transgender people's feelings, uh, over the safety of our own citizens, over the combat
00:18:16.820
effectiveness of our own troops. Uh, I really don't care about equality. I really don't care about
00:18:23.640
feelings. I really don't care about social studies. I really don't care about social experiments when it
00:18:28.480
comes to the military. I really don't, I really could not care any less about equality when it comes
00:18:33.500
to the military, because it's not about equality. It is about lethality. It is about how effective we
00:18:38.820
can be, how quickly, how efficiently, how effectively we can reach our goals. Uh, unfortunately you have a
00:18:45.860
lot of people on the left and some people on the right who simply don't see that they see equality.
00:18:50.740
Yeah. Let women be drafted and okay. Women can, uh, be in combat. They might be drafted into combat.
00:18:57.100
That's fine. Equality. Well, let's just take the progressive blinders off for a second and think
00:19:03.400
about things. Practically. The question is not whether or not, I'm going to say this for the
00:19:08.200
millionth time is not whether or not the military is equal. It's whether or not the military is lethal,
00:19:14.020
but the moral revolution that has been carried on by the left that says there's no difference between
00:19:20.700
men or women whatsoever. It is all a social construct, ignoring the fact that a group like the Marine
00:19:26.900
Corps has brought to our attention that scientists have literally been saying since we've known
00:19:30.680
anything about biology and they have simply just said, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. It's, it's fine.
00:19:38.540
We're all the same. Men and women should do the same thing. And this is what I mean by they are
00:19:42.760
trying to carry out an agenda of equality through homogeny. And this is what, or homogeny it's,
00:19:49.860
I always say that wrong. And then it means something else. Homogeny. So equality through sameness.
00:19:54.620
They believe that in order for men and women to be truly equal and to have equal rights,
00:20:00.600
they must have equal responsibilities. But the reason why men and women should not be expected to
00:20:06.680
have equal responsibilities is because they do not have equal capabilities. And a lot of people on the
00:20:12.040
left know that. And that's why they just obscure the difference of capabilities and say, oh, no, no,
00:20:17.780
women can do anything that a man can do. But as science tells us, as the Marine Corps study tells
00:20:22.720
us, as basic logic tells us, as any biology teacher can tell you, there's a difference between
00:20:27.620
men and women. And there's also a point that we really don't want to talk about in the difference
00:20:32.840
between men and women is the sexual component to allowing women to allowing women in combat and
00:20:39.460
drafting women into combat as a consequence of that. So Heather McDonald with Wall Street Journal
00:20:44.600
also said, a Marine commander who served in Afghanistan described to me how the arrival of an
00:20:50.220
all-female team tasked with reaching out to local women affected discipline on his forward operating
00:20:54.680
base. Until that point, he said, rigorous discipline had been the norm. But when four women, three
00:20:59.800
service members and a translator arrived, the post atmosphere changed overnight from a stern business
00:21:04.220
like place to that of an eighth grade dance. The officer walked into a common room one day to find
00:21:09.060
the women clustered in the center. They were surrounded by eager male Marines. One of them
00:21:14.340
was doing a handstand. And then she gives some other examples about the same thing happening,
00:21:19.920
how the dynamic between men and women, that's a lot of progressives want to pretend, isn't a very
00:21:26.220
natural thing that mostly, mostly even in this country where we're told that gender doesn't matter
00:21:31.980
and that sexuality is fluid, it's mostly the opposite sexes are attracted to each other.
00:21:37.920
Hormonally charged close quarters is going to cause sexual tension to happen. And you have to ask
00:21:43.020
yourself when it comes to the military, how that affects our effectiveness. That should be the
00:21:48.060
only question that we're asking. But we're not even allowed to talk about the natural sexual dynamics
00:21:53.460
between men and women because we're supposed to pretend like that's not natural. Like a man should
00:21:57.980
just look at a woman like he looks at any other dude and a woman should just think of a man as she
00:22:01.980
thinks about any other girl. And we should just be able to direct our sexual energy to whoever we want
00:22:06.980
to direct it to. I'm sorry, God didn't make us that way. That's how humankind has perpetuated from all of
00:22:12.420
history because boys like girls and men like women. Um, so in, uh, the New York times said,
00:22:21.520
despite all of this, despite all of these studies that show, um, that show contrary to what the
00:22:28.520
left wants to believe that men and women are different, that when they're in combat, it doesn't
00:22:32.840
really work very well. Ash Carter, who was, um, the department or the defense secretary under Barack
00:22:39.060
Obama said, there will be no exceptions. Um, Mr. Carter said at the news conference, he added,
00:22:43.600
there'll be allowed to drive tanks, fire mortars, and lead infantry soldiers into combat. They'll be
00:22:47.840
able to serve as army Rangers and green berets, Navy SEALs, Marine Corps infantry, air force,
00:22:52.160
para jumpers, and everything else that was previously open to men. I mean, this is just an illogical
00:22:58.020
utopia, um, that doesn't make any sense. And it certainly does not better our country.
00:23:03.640
The same goes for transgender people serving in the military, you know, that, um, Trump tried to
00:23:09.700
institute a ban on transgender people, but he really made it, uh, he made it more about that.
00:23:15.260
We should not, the American people, the American taxpayer should not be a pain for their gender
00:23:20.280
reassignment surgery, but it's really not about that. It shouldn't be about that. It should be about
00:23:25.480
lethality. It should be about their effectiveness. So if you are a biological man who identifies as a
00:23:31.000
woman, but your hormone therapy has weakened you to the point of not being as lethal as your
00:23:35.760
biologically male and identifying male counterparts, then I'm sorry. I'm sorry. It's not a right to serve
00:23:41.600
in the military. If you're a biological woman who identifies as a man, uh, you will never have the
00:23:46.120
strength or, uh, the biological abilities that, uh, or the, the strength abilities that a biological man
00:23:52.660
has. So I'm sorry. Like I've said over and over again, lethality trumps equality. The military is not
00:23:59.180
a social experiment. You do not have the right to serve in the military. I say, let us end the draft
00:24:05.700
altogether. That's, that's what I would want. Um, I don't want to draft woman. I don't want women to
00:24:10.720
be in combat. I think that we should end the draft altogether, but you know, that's getting to be a
00:24:16.740
harder and harder case to make when we have such warped views on men and women have such warped views
00:24:24.240
on gender roles that we aren't even allowed to say anymore. That only women can have children where
00:24:30.160
we can't even say anymore. The anatomical parts that correspond to men and women India more, I guess
00:24:37.100
she's some transgender. He, she is a transgender activist. I don't actually know her gender, her,
00:24:44.760
his gender identity, what they go by, what their pronouns are. I don't even know. So that's the
00:24:51.620
confusion. She, he tweeted, if a woman has a penis, it's a biologically female penis.
00:24:59.760
I, I don't, I don't know. I don't know. What do you do with that? What do you, what do you do with
00:25:06.600
that? At least before back in the good old days when transgender people would just say, okay,
00:25:12.500
you're biologically male, but you identify as a woman. I was just now starting to be like, okay,
00:25:19.260
I'm kind of understanding to break down or I'm being able to break down that a logic in my mind
00:25:25.000
is, is insane as it is. I'm, I'm able to kind of wrap my head around that. But now we're told that
00:25:31.620
your anatomy is not even allowed to be male or female anatomy that biologically. And so now instead of
00:25:41.160
biology dictating society, we're saying that society should dictate biology. And that just
00:25:48.120
makes my brain explode. Like I'm not, I'm not even a really a science person. I didn't even do well in
00:25:54.460
science in, in high school or in college. I hated science classes, but I think I remember enough from
00:26:00.040
biology one-on-one in my anatomy class to know that there's a difference between male and female,
00:26:05.480
at least on a biological level, right? No, but now we have social studies and post-modernism taking over
00:26:12.300
even science. And so we're not even allowed to say things that are scientifically biologically true
00:26:18.900
anymore, which is why you are going to see, you're going to see male domination of everything,
00:26:25.340
even in women's sports and women's categories. So thank you feminists for being so great at your
00:26:31.340
jobs that you've actually secured male domination for the rest of history. And we see that. We see
00:26:36.840
that a lot in sporting events, but the latest headline that I saw transgender sprinters finished
00:26:40.900
first, second, first and second at Connecticut girls indoor track championships. Well, duh,
00:26:47.060
the headline should be men beat women in a sport that they are much better at than women. Duh,
00:26:55.160
duh. Men are always faster than women. They're always faster than women. And so now we've seen this in
00:27:01.220
wrestling. We've seen this in lots of other sports where transgender women, I'm still very confused
00:27:07.300
on how to say that transgender women. So biological males that identify as women where they are
00:27:13.540
dominating biological women, which you can't even say that anymore. It's so confusing. Biological women
00:27:19.920
in sports. Well, yes, because they still have testosterone. Yes, because their bones are different.
00:27:25.380
Yes, because their muscles are different. Yes, because their anaerobic and aerobic capacities are
00:27:29.600
different. As we saw in the Marine Corps study, there will always be an inherent difference because
00:27:34.460
of hormones, because of chromosomes, because of how your brain works, because of how your body works.
00:27:38.620
There will always be a difference between men and women. And feminists have laid the groundwork for
00:27:42.440
this by saying there's no real difference between men and women. There should be no difference in
00:27:46.360
responsibilities, no difference in roles. Women can do everything that a man can. By obscuring the
00:27:51.660
differences in gender, you have made it possible for a man to identify as a woman and a woman to identify
00:27:55.920
as a man. And therefore, for a man who identifies as a woman to dominate biological women in every
00:28:01.920
realm in which women were allowed to compete against one another. So congratulations. You've outplayed
00:28:07.860
yourself. There was this article in the Wall Street Journal called About Gender Neutral Clothes, and it was
00:28:15.480
talking about how fashion is even moving in the direction of being gender neutral, how men are going to
00:28:21.920
start wearing, quote, lacy shirts and pink suits and dresses and skirts. And women are going to start
00:28:29.920
wearing things that are typically cut for men. I'm sorry, I just don't think that that's going to
00:28:34.060
happen. I just don't. I just don't think that's going to happen. Because again, you're erasing that
00:28:39.760
there might be some kind of inherent preference in men and women for certain kinds of clothes.
00:28:46.300
You are denying that there might actually be a natural inherent difference in men and women
00:28:52.740
that makes them prefer to dress and look and act a certain way. And so I'm just not buying that. I'm
00:29:00.760
okay with like gender neutral clothes in some ways, mostly like for women. I don't have I don't have a
00:29:07.800
problem with that. And I think that's pretty a pretty non-consequential issue because I don't think
00:29:13.740
it's actually going to matter. I thought there was an interesting post of Christian
00:29:17.320
blogger, influencer, author that you guys know posted an Instagram post about her child where
00:29:23.980
her son wearing makeup and how it was actually for theater. But she goes on to say that, you know,
00:29:29.620
boys can wear makeup and we need to stop putting boys in boxes and girls in boxes. They can be
00:29:34.260
however they want to be. And we should all celebrate that. And it's pretty expected at this point from
00:29:40.500
this particular person. She leans to the left, it seems like on, um, a lot of social issues,
00:29:45.040
but I do want to use that to have, I know I've been pretty like harsh and black and white in this
00:29:49.820
conversation about men and women. I do think there is a room for nuance when it comes to the gender
00:29:55.520
conversation. Uh, because I do think that there exists harmful stereotypes when it comes to men and
00:30:02.820
women. I do think that at one point, probably not anymore that boys who maybe did like theater or boys
00:30:09.060
who did like to dance or boys who, uh, maybe didn't like to like play in the mud and play football and
00:30:15.280
go hunting and ride four wheelers that maybe they were seen as more feminine. They were compared to
00:30:20.440
a girl that when a boy cried, it was because he was girly or when a girl didn't like the things that
00:30:25.680
traditional girls like that they were maybe seen as a tomboy. I do think that having too strict
00:30:31.940
of categories for boys and girls can be harmful to their psyche and actually saying that, Oh,
00:30:38.240
you're girly. If you like theater, you're girly. If you like ballet and you're boyish,
00:30:43.640
if you like baseball, that I think is harmful. I think there could be more openness to, Hey,
00:30:51.100
if you're a guy who likes theater, you're a guy who likes theater. You're not a girly guy,
00:30:55.520
you know? And the same thing for a girl. If you're a girl who likes sports,
00:30:59.460
you're a girl who likes sports. You're not a tomboy. Um, I do think that those names
00:31:03.860
can't be harmful, but as long as, as long as we keep sure, and we keep distinct, uh,
00:31:12.660
the responsibilities and the social societal familial roles, um, of boys versus girls that
00:31:20.260
at the end of the day, the boy goes down, the girl goes free in, in the sense that men should be
00:31:26.740
protecting women. Boys should be protecting girls. It should be boys that are looking out for girls.
00:31:31.720
It should be, there should be a difference. The boys are supposed to be, uh, when it comes down
00:31:37.100
to it, especially in a familial role, the hunter gathers, the warriors, the fighters, the protectors,
00:31:42.000
uh, women are supposed to be the nurturers and the nourishers and the builders and the beautifiers.
00:31:46.820
That doesn't mean that men are better than women. It means that they're different than women.
00:31:50.100
It means that they're meant to compliment one of one another. So I do think it can be a nuanced
00:31:54.900
conversation and that some gender stereotypes can be harmful. They are too strict. They are too
00:32:01.280
archaic and they don't allow for boys to have interests outside of just liking blue and football.
00:32:06.780
I think that's stupid, but as long as we make sure that our boys know that one also being an
00:32:13.880
aggressive, super, uber masculine boy, or if you even want to call it masculine, liking traditional
00:32:18.960
masculine things is completely fine. But also no matter what their interests are, what their social,
00:32:24.100
familial and moral responsibilities are as a boy versus that of a girl, they are different
00:32:30.280
and they should be different. And we should be promoting that. And if you want to call it
00:32:34.260
traditional or bigoted, whatever, that's completely fine. It's how human history has perpetuated and
00:32:39.660
how it's how men and women have been able to work together to make societies thrive and, uh, function.
00:32:45.500
And as I've said before, raising passive boys does not create strong men. Raising passive boys creates
00:32:51.540
weak men and, uh, where men are weak, where men are afraid, where men are passive, where men step back
00:32:58.800
and don't step into their role of responsibility and provision and protection. Not only families fail,
00:33:03.860
but societies fail because women have not been proven to be able to take that role and lead that alone.
00:33:09.580
Well, they just have it in, in, uh, a larger sense. I'm not talking about the single mother that can't
00:33:16.080
lead her family. She absolutely can, but I'm talking about on a community, on a society, on a national
00:33:21.680
level. Um, you have to have men step up or else society falters. So that's it for today.
00:33:29.500
Differences between men and women, women shouldn't be drafted, shouldn't be in, um, shouldn't be in
00:33:36.700
combat. And we should be celebrating the differences between men and women and how we complement one
00:33:41.480
another. And we shouldn't be obscuring them because biology is never going to change no matter how much
00:33:49.560
society wants to make it. So thank God for that. I'm very thankful that he made us, that he made us
00:33:54.780
different and he made us, uh, with different roles and different strengths and different responsibilities
00:33:58.940
that make this world not only function, but also really fun. Okay. I will see you guys on Thursday
