00:00:00.000 Well, over the past few years, I've done a lot of shows talking about men, what men need to fix, where men fall short, how men can step up.
00:00:07.000 I haven't really turned that same sort of attention toward the ladies.
00:00:11.000 Well, ladies, today is for you because it's time for an honest conversation.
00:00:15.000 We have some things to discuss. 0.97
00:00:16.000 It's time to get your together.
00:00:18.000 This is the Ben Shapiro Show.
00:00:27.000 We do have a packed show today. 0.57
00:00:28.000 A young American girl boss turns into a pissed off Islamist terrorist and then gets arrested. 0.80
00:00:32.000 Our national debt is coming home, Drews. 0.61
00:00:34.000 And the Daily Wire uncovers an extraordinary story about an Islamic terrorist sympathizer allowed back onto an American college campus with deadly results. 0.72
00:00:41.000 But first, let's get to the big story today. 0.79
00:00:44.000 So, victimhood, of course, has now become a drug of choice for pretty much every subgroup in the American population. 0.99
00:00:51.000 And women are not accepted. 0.99
00:00:53.000 But here is the thing ladies in American society, overall, you are not victims. 1.00
00:00:58.000 Not remotely. 1.00
00:01:00.000 Not remotely.
00:01:01.000 You earn more college degrees.
00:01:03.000 You have longer life expectancies. 0.90
00:01:05.000 When adjusted for hours worked and time out of the workforce, you earn more than the men do.
00:01:10.000 So when I see women standing outside the trial of a mentally ill woman who murdered her three young children, including a baby, protesting something, well, I need to ask some questions.
00:01:21.000 I need to ask some questions because that's what we're seeing.
00:01:24.000 Now, again, I've said before that the sense of victimhood that men have right now is, in my opinion, overstated.
00:01:28.000 We have many decisions in our hands as men that we are pretending we do not have.
00:01:31.000 But at least there's some empirical basis for the idea that American men are failing.
00:01:36.000 Because they are earning fewer degrees, they're committing suicide at higher rates, they're dropping out of the workforce at higher rates, earning less money.
00:01:42.000 That's not true of American women. 0.88
00:01:44.000 But yet, lots and lots of women are addicted to this idea that they are somehow victims of the phantom patriarchy or something. 1.00
00:01:52.000 This is the only way I can explain what the hell is happening outside the Lindsey Clancy trial.
00:01:57.000 I do not understand this for the life of me.
00:01:59.000 What are you protesting?
00:02:01.000 What are you protesting?
00:02:03.000 Lindsey Clancy, that story is a tragedy and a horror.
00:02:08.000 If Lindsey Clancy was the victim of anything, I mean, obviously her kids were the true victims since they ended up strangled by their mother.
00:02:13.000 But if Lindsey Clancy was the victim of anything, she was a victim of her mental illness.
00:02:18.000 Well, typically you don't have protests against mental illness.
00:02:22.000 That's like having a protest against cancer or a protest against heart disease or a protest against sunshine or wind.
00:02:29.000 These are things that happen in life, and bad things happen in life.
00:02:32.000 And very, very rarely do people get together outside of a courthouse to protest.
00:02:37.000 Typically, when you're outside a courthouse protesting, you are suggesting someone has been wronged by the system. 1.00
00:02:43.000 And that's what women were doing over the course of the last few days. 1.00
00:02:46.000 What are you doing, ladies? 1.00
00:02:48.000 What are you doing?
00:02:49.000 Here is some video of Lindsey Clancy supporters thanking Clancy's defense attorney outside the Plymouth courthouse.
00:03:01.000 For what?
00:03:01.000 Thank you.
00:03:02.000 For doing his job?
00:03:04.000 Clapping for him?
00:03:05.000 Thank you.
00:03:05.000 Thank you.
00:03:07.000 What in the world? 0.95
00:03:10.000 What are you?
00:03:11.000 What?
00:03:12.000 What?
00:03:13.000 Again, the whole thing's a tragedy.
00:03:15.000 Lindsey Clancy, like every other person in the United States charged with the crime, deserves a defense.
00:03:19.000 I'm even sympathetic to the mental illness defense here, as I've made clear.
00:03:23.000 But what in the world? 1.00
00:03:26.000 And then women were making heart hands outside the Clancy. 0.92
00:03:29.000 What are you doing?
00:03:30.000 What is the thing that you are protesting for or against?
00:03:32.000 What is the thing?
00:03:34.000 Are you just angry at postpartum psychosis?
00:03:36.000 Because that's what we're talking about here.
00:03:38.000 I think that there is an underlying message.
00:03:38.000 But I don't think so.
00:03:41.000 And here again is some of the video.
00:03:48.000 Throwing hands for Lindsay and mental health.
00:03:55.000 Listen, if you've got a mental problem, you should go get the care that you need. 0.96
00:03:57.000 But what in the world? 1.00
00:03:58.000 She murdered her three children.
00:04:02.000 What in the world?
00:04:03.000 What in the world? 1.00
00:04:04.000 And I've seen all these tapes of women who are saying they're just like Lindsay. 0.94
00:04:07.000 They're just like, okay, first of all, if you say you are just like Lindsay Clancy, you should immediately be put into involuntary commitment. 0.99
00:04:13.000 Because Lindsay Clancy murdered her three kids and then tried to kill herself.
00:04:16.000 So if you are just like she is, and she was a danger to herself and others, Then you are a danger to yourself and others, and you should be immediately removed from society and put in a place where you can get care.
00:04:29.000 But again, here are some of the women explaining why they are there.
00:04:35.000 What would be your message to the people that say she should be found guilty and she killed her children? 0.74
00:04:41.000 I don't know.
00:04:48.000 To get educated about the.
00:04:52.000 A subject, like it is a very sensitive subject that people don't take it serious and people don't look for information.
00:05:03.000 And I think it's a lack of information. 1.00
00:05:07.000 What are these women even doing there? 1.00
00:05:08.000 What are they doing? 1.00
00:05:10.000 This reporter from Frontlines at TPUSA asks the women there, What would you say to the opponents who basically say that you should get the death penalty? 0.99
00:05:18.000 And they're like, We don't know because they don't know why they're there.
00:05:21.000 I'll explain, by the way, why they're there in a second.
00:05:24.000 And of course, here are more Clancy supporters saying that we all need to educate ourselves in postpartum.
00:05:28.000 Again, what are you protesting for?
00:05:30.000 What is the thing that you are protesting for or against?
00:05:35.000 Does anyone have a message for Lindsay?
00:05:38.000 We support you, Lindsay.
00:05:39.000 We are all here for you, and we hope for a change.
00:05:42.000 What would be your message to the people that say she murdered her children?
00:05:47.000 I think there's more to this story that people don't understand.
00:05:50.000 If you watch a trial, you'll see that.
00:05:53.000 And I think we all need to educate ourselves in postpartum.
00:05:57.000 I certainly have been educating myself, and my heart goes to her, and I just hope for the very best for her.
00:06:06.000 Okay, again, what are you protesting?
00:06:09.000 Okay, so let's start with the obvious. 1.00
00:06:13.000 Because there is an underlying idea here that women are victims. 0.93
00:06:15.000 That is why this has become a sort of a trend the idea that women are, in some sort of vague way, victims of the justice system or the American system or the patriarchy or whatever.
00:06:26.000 Like, I don't even know what these women are protesting. 0.88
00:06:28.000 Again, are they just protesting mental illness? 1.00
00:06:31.000 What are they protesting?
00:06:32.000 The prosecution has a duty to prosecute if they believe that the fact pattern demonstrates that Lindsey Clancy killed her children with malice aforethought, right?
00:06:42.000 That is what they are trying her for.
00:06:44.000 And the defense has a duty to defend against that by claiming the insanity defense.
00:06:48.000 And we went through all of that earlier this week.
00:06:49.000 But what is the protest?
00:06:50.000 I don't even understand.
00:06:52.000 The system is working how the system is supposed to work right now.
00:06:54.000 So what are you protesting?
00:06:55.000 If you're standing outside Andrew Tate's jailhouse and doing push ups, I know that you're protesting because you think that Andrew Tate. 0.97
00:07:01.000 Is somehow innocent of all of the charges, plus you're half gay. 0.84
00:07:04.000 So there are a few things, but what are you protesting here? 0.97
00:07:08.000 So let's start, ladies, with the obvious. 1.00
00:07:10.000 No women in all of human history, in all of human history, have it better than American women in 2026. 0.91
00:07:19.000 There's a woman named Peachy Keenan over on X, and she put out a tweet that is correct. 1.00
00:07:24.000 She says, Why are so many women so angry? 1.00
00:07:26.000 They won, they got everything they wanted.
00:07:28.000 Men have never been doing this badly, and women have never been doing this well.
00:07:31.000 They make more, they have the majority of jobs, they have the majority of college graduates.
00:07:35.000 They make more money, have much lower rates of suicide, addiction, and alcoholism, and live longer.
00:07:38.000 They won. 0.97
00:07:39.000 They took over all men only spaces.
00:07:40.000 They took over the Boy Scouts. 0.97
00:07:41.000 They ended men's bathrooms. 0.88
00:07:42.000 They can fly fighter planes and be in combat. 0.98
00:07:44.000 Marriage is optional.
00:07:45.000 Divorce is no fault.
00:07:46.000 They win 99% of the custody battles. 0.80
00:07:48.000 They can control fertility at will and they can't get drafted. 0.99
00:07:51.000 We are all living in the female future they promised. 0.99
00:07:52.000 That is not wrong. 0.99
00:07:54.000 She is not wrong about this.
00:07:55.000 All right. 1.00
00:07:56.000 Coming up, we'll get to why are women so angry? 1.00
00:07:58.000 I know an internal question for the gentleman in the audience first. 1.00
00:08:01.000 You know what should make you mad? 0.99
00:08:03.000 Spending more than you need on a wireless plan because that's dumb. 0.98
00:08:06.000 I need a phone. 0.94
00:08:07.000 Tell me what it costs.
00:08:07.000 I need data.
00:08:08.000 Instead, you get a spreadsheet to make sense of all of that.
00:08:10.000 There are tiers, bundles, upgrades, promotional credits.
00:08:12.000 By the time somebody explains your free phone, you've forgotten what you walked into the store for originally.
00:08:19.000 Again, it's become way too complicated.
00:08:21.000 It should be super simple, and Pure Talk keeps it simple for you.
00:08:24.000 The service speaks for itself.
00:08:25.000 In a recent industry survey, Pure Talk was the only wireless company to receive five stars in every single category coverage, support, value, and data.
00:08:32.000 And for just a few more weeks, Pure Talk is offering unlimited data for just $15 a month for your first three months.
00:08:37.000 After that, get unlimited data for as low as $34.99 a month, no contract.
00:08:41.000 Go to puretalk.comslash Apuro to make the switch to my favorite wireless company, Pure Talk.
00:08:45.000 There is a better wireless choice out there at just $15 a month for your first three months.
00:08:49.000 Now would be an excellent time to make the switch.
00:08:51.000 Again, it's very, very easy.
00:08:53.000 You can talk to them right now.
00:08:54.000 Check them out at puretalk.comslash Shapiro.
00:08:56.000 Get the answers to your questions, then get the best sell coverage at the best price.
00:08:59.000 puretalk.comslash Shapiro.
00:09:01.000 That's puretalk.comslash Shapiro. 1.00
00:09:05.000 Okay, so let's examine why are women so angry? 1.00
00:09:08.000 Here's the thing. 1.00
00:09:09.000 It is not economic underperformance.
00:09:10.000 It is certainly not the patriarchy.
00:09:12.000 It is not lack of education or anything like that. 0.52
00:09:15.000 Women's happiness has declined.
00:09:18.000 It has declined markedly.
00:09:20.000 According to a study from PubMed Central, the early general social survey shows, from like the 1950s through the 70s, high levels of female overall happiness.
00:09:30.000 From the 80s to the 2000s, female happiness declined in both absolute terms and relative to men across every major demographic group.
00:09:37.000 From the 2010s to the present, the well being trends have continued to trend downward, driven by rising reports of anxiety, stress, loneliness, and other mental health challenges compared to previous decades.
00:09:47.000 Now, again, that is happening. 0.60
00:09:48.000 This is supposedly the paradox, what they call the paradox of female unhappiness.
00:09:52.000 This is happening despite the fact that today women earn nearly 60% of all bachelor's degrees in the United States.
00:09:59.000 That 44% of women aged 25 to 29 have a bachelor's compared to 35% of men.
00:10:07.000 That women, when you adjust for time in the workforce and time taken out of the workforce on an hourly basis, earn more than men, including in, for example, New York, where young women earn 102% of what young men earn.
00:10:20.000 Again, like there's nothing on sort of a legal level to complain about here.
00:10:25.000 And as Matt Walsh has pointed out correctly, the legal system is highly biased in favor of women, particularly when it comes to divorce and custody.
00:10:33.000 Matt said, I would say that if you're a man and your wife attended this event, you need to immediately fight to remove your children from her custody. 0.93
00:10:38.000 She's a threat to them and to you.
00:10:40.000 And I don't say that lightly. 1.00
00:10:41.000 The problem is that every court in the country will side with her, not you, because women actually have the exact sort of unfair institutional advantage that feminists say men possess. 0.98
00:10:49.000 And he is not wrong about that. 0.71
00:10:52.000 So here is the controversial contention today. 0.98
00:10:55.000 The reason why so many women in American society are so angry and so much unhappier than they were in the 1950s and 1960s and 1970s is because so many women are single. 0.95
00:11:08.000 This does not mean all men are good or that all marriages are good or anything stupid like that. 0.94
00:11:12.000 That is not what we are saying. 0.84
00:11:15.000 But when you look at the actual data, what it shows is that married women are happier, much, much happier than single women.
00:11:22.000 In fact, married moms are twice as likely to be very happy than single or childless women, according to data from the 2022.
00:11:29.000 General Social Survey.
00:11:32.000 Here are some statistics on female happiness, bimarital status, and having children.
00:11:37.000 This is for women aged 18 to 55.
00:11:42.000 So if you are married, 25% of married women without children report being very happy.
00:11:48.000 Another 59% say that they are at least pretty happy.
00:11:53.000 A very low percentage, like 16%, say they are very unhappy or not too happy.
00:11:58.000 Women with children, who are married with children, almost 40% say that they are happy, like very happy.
00:12:06.000 Another 48% say.
00:12:09.000 That they are pretty happy.
00:12:11.000 When you add those together, that means that 88% of women who are married with children say they're either very happy or pretty happy. 0.98
00:12:18.000 Now, check out the unmarried ladies.
00:12:21.000 Unmarried ladies, unmarried, no kids, 21.5% say that they are very happy. 0.72
00:12:28.000 Okay, so literally almost twice as unhappy.
00:12:34.000 And when it comes to the percentage saying they are not happy, just not too happy, 25% say.
00:12:39.000 That they are not too happy if they're unmarried with no children.
00:12:44.000 Again, when women get married and have kids, they get happier.
00:12:48.000 They do. 0.97
00:12:48.000 By the way, the unhappiest group of women by far are unmarried women with children. 0.97
00:12:54.000 You don't have a partner, you don't have a spouse, somebody to help protect you and care for you and take care of the kids or any of that kind of stuff. 1.00
00:12:54.000 Makes sense. 1.00
00:13:00.000 Now, if you look at men's happiness, the same thing is actually true.
00:13:04.000 It turns out that married men with children are, in fact, the happiest men.
00:13:09.000 This is not a giant shock.
00:13:12.000 It turns out that marriage is good for both men and for women.
00:13:16.000 The happiest men are married men with children.
00:13:19.000 35% say that they are very happy. 1.00
00:13:21.000 Again, not even as happy as the women. 1.00
00:13:22.000 The women are happier. 0.99
00:13:24.000 49% say that they are pretty happy.
00:13:27.000 And about 16% say that they are not too happy.
00:13:31.000 Unmarried men with no children, only 13.8%, like 14%, say that they are very happy.
00:13:39.000 Another 64% say they're kind of okay, but 22% say they're very unhappy.
00:13:44.000 Or at least not too happy.
00:13:46.000 So marriage makes people happier and marriage with children makes people significantly happier. 0.58
00:13:51.000 And that is true for women and it is true for men.
00:13:53.000 And women's happiness outpaces marriage.
00:13:56.000 I mean, women's happiness outpaces men's happiness in terms of the trajectory and final outcome when they get married and have kids.
00:14:01.000 And you know, we have an entire society built around the idea that marriage is an imposition on women and that women are suffering because of marriage, which is, of course, a lie.
00:14:12.000 Now, why is this?
00:14:13.000 Why do women get happier when they get married and then when they have kids? 1.00
00:14:16.000 Why? 1.00
00:14:17.000 Well, that is because men and women are different. 1.00
00:14:19.000 I know.
00:14:20.000 Controversial things being said today here on the Ben Shapiro show. 0.98
00:14:22.000 Men and women are different. 0.77
00:14:23.000 The single most fundamental fact of human biology women, men, not the same. 0.83
00:14:28.000 Because, among many other differences, men and women are driven differently.
00:14:32.000 Our brains don't work quite the same way.
00:14:34.000 Women are driven by compassion. 1.00
00:14:35.000 This is, in fact, the driving evolutionary force in female biology. 1.00
00:14:39.000 Why? 1.00
00:14:39.000 Because women need to be compassionate toward children to keep the species functioning. 1.00
00:14:45.000 They need to be there to care and feed. 1.00
00:14:47.000 And take care of children. 0.99
00:14:50.000 This also means, unsurprisingly, a byproduct of that is that women are far more social than men in the deep sense.
00:14:55.000 So men have kind of a loose aggregation of friends.
00:14:58.000 Women have deep friendships with people.
00:15:02.000 And by the polling data, women are far, far more likely to turn to family and friends for support than men are, which makes sense.
00:15:09.000 Pew Research did a poll a couple of years ago.
00:15:13.000 And what it found is that men and women are equally likely to turn to their spouse for support.
00:15:17.000 When it came to friendship, it turns out that 54% of women are extremely or very likely to turn to a friend for support.
00:15:26.000 Only 38% of men are likely to turn to a friend for support.
00:15:30.000 Other family members, women, 44% will turn to another family member.
00:15:33.000 26% of men will turn to another family member.
00:15:37.000 So, again, women are people oriented.
00:15:39.000 Men are things oriented.
00:15:41.000 This is why men also end up in engineering very often because men like machines, they like things.
00:15:45.000 Women like people.
00:15:47.000 This is why women are overstaffed in places like nursing and men are overstaffed in places like mechanics. 0.93
00:15:53.000 It's also why if you leave a man alone for the weekend away from his wife and kids, the most likely outcome is that he will pop open a beer and watch football.
00:16:01.000 And if you leave a woman alone for the weekend away from her husband and kids, she's probably going to phone one of our friends and go out for lunch or something.
00:16:08.000 Now, if you take that in the toxic direction, right, where men don't get married, men have aggressive antisocial instincts.
00:16:16.000 And when you channel those aggressive instincts away from family, men are wildly destructive.
00:16:22.000 If you think of the worst men you know, the worst men you know or have heard of, it is people who abandon all responsibility and then victimize everybody else.
00:16:31.000 This is why the jails are filled with bad men.
00:16:35.000 Men who are left to their own devices, who are not socialized, become nihilistic and aggressive and gross, and they harm other people.
00:16:42.000 The female compassion instinct, channeled away from family, however, results in unchanneled compassion. 0.61
00:16:47.000 And that can mean sympathy for some pretty bad people.
00:16:50.000 It also means a deep desire for control, because when you're dealing with people, you tend to want to control them out of compassion for them.
00:16:56.000 And the worst women that you know tend to be people who are extremely, extremely controlling, which is probably why women are now more likely than men to endorse political violence. 0.65
00:17:06.000 And coming up, it turns out that women are now more likely than men to justify political violence, which kind of gives a lie to that if women ruled the world, everything would be peaceful. 0.67
00:17:15.000 But you know what else is a lie?
00:17:16.000 That you do not need to prepare for your financial future when things get bad.
00:17:21.000 You do.
00:17:22.000 Okay, there's one event that is going to happen to everyone, and it's death.
00:17:26.000 And you need to make sure that your family is taken care of.
00:17:29.000 An estate plan lets you decide who will care for your kids, how your assets get distributed, what your health care wishes are.
00:17:34.000 Those are decisions you should make, not decisions your family should have to guess at during an already difficult time.

00:18:18.000 According to a new study from the National Contagion Research Institute, women are significantly more likely than men to endorse political violence.
00:18:28.000 Female respondents were approximately 21% more likely than males to express some justification for murdering Zar Mamdani, for example, and nearly 15% more likely to justify murdering President Trump than male respondents.
00:18:38.000 And what exactly were the strongest predictors of tolerance for violence?
00:18:42.000 Heavy social media use.
00:18:44.000 We'll get to that in a moment.
00:18:48.000 Now, Rob Henderson has written about this in the Wall Street Journal, and he says.
00:18:53.000 A newly published survey paper, led by Samuel Pratt at UCLA, built what they like to call the Words Can Harm Scale, a survey asking people how much they agree with statements like, I could be left emotionally scarred by something I read.
00:19:05.000 Who holds this view?
00:19:06.000 People higher in the belief that words can harm tended to be younger, female, non white, and politically liberal. 0.56
00:19:12.000 They rated themselves as higher in intellectual humility, empathy, moral grandstanding, and the belief in the importance of silencing others at the same time. 0.64
00:19:18.000 They exhibit lower emotional stability and a greater tendency to see themselves as victims of everyday conflicts.
00:19:23.000 And they report higher levels of anxiety and depression again. 0.98
00:19:26.000 When you remove women's compassion, which is a natural thing and a wonderful thing and amazing thing, I'm watching my wife do it right now with a very, very annoying small child. 0.99
00:19:33.000 Okay. 1.00
00:19:34.000 Babies, very difficult, really, really rough.
00:19:37.000 We're like five weeks into baby number five here.
00:19:40.000 He cries a lot.
00:19:41.000 Yes, he's cute.
00:19:42.000 Yes, he's beautiful.
00:19:43.000 Yes, he's a gift from God.
00:19:44.000 And also, my wife is getting no sleep and he's difficult.
00:19:46.000 That's the reality.
00:19:47.000 But because my wife is a creature made by God to do compassion, she's unbelievable with him.
00:19:53.000 That is normal.
00:19:53.000 Right.
00:19:54.000 When you take that instinct and you channel it in the wrong direction, Because women care deeply about people and what people say to them and what they say to people and all the rest of that sort of stuff. 1.00
00:20:02.000 They tend to think, for example, that words can hurt. 0.60
00:20:05.000 Men don't think that as much because men, again, things, women, people.
00:20:08.000 These are differences between men and women.
00:20:10.000 This also means that women are particularly susceptible to social contagion.
00:20:15.000 Females are really, really, really susceptible to social contagion. 1.00
00:20:18.000 They burn through female populations like wildfire. 1.00
00:20:21.000 Because women want social connection. 1.00
00:20:21.000 Why? 1.00
00:20:23.000 And when they can't find a social connection, if they go online and they find fake social connection, that's a pretty good substitute because as all husbands know, Women want to be heard.
00:20:33.000 This is the thing that women want more than anything else.
00:20:34.000 They want to be heard. 1.00
00:20:36.000 They want to be listened to.
00:20:37.000 They want to be treated with compassion.
00:20:39.000 I've told, I said this before, but it's true.
00:20:41.000 This is a great lesson I learned early on in marriage.
00:20:43.000 My wife would come to me with a problem, and I, being a man, would want to solve that problem because I am a man.
00:20:48.000 When I hear about a problem, I would like to solve the problem and never think about it ever again.
00:20:53.000 And I had to be informed by my wife before I got the message a few times because, like all men, I am thick headed that what she did not want me to do was provide her a binder of solutions.
00:21:02.000 She wanted me to hear what she was feeling. 0.96
00:21:05.000 And that's what women typically want. 0.98
00:21:07.000 Well, that also means that they are very, very, very vulnerable to social contagion. 0.96
00:21:13.000 And social media exacerbates that in extraordinary ways.
00:21:17.000 Parapsychologist Jonathan Haidt explaining this.
00:21:21.000 When all the kids get a supercomputer in their pockets and they get the whole internet in their pockets, the boys rush over to video games, especially, and they can form teams, they can compete.
00:21:32.000 It's really fun.
00:21:33.000 The girls are really interested in what other girls are doing, what other girls are saying, what other people are saying.
00:21:39.000 Scandals, dating, breakups, all that sort of stuff, social media gives you up to the second.
00:21:44.000 Like, you don't have to wait for, you know, 17 magazine to come out every week.
00:21:48.000 Like, up to the second, what's happening?
00:21:50.000 So, girls get drawn in, but it's an unending stream of social comparison, gossip, criticism, conflicts.
00:21:56.000 That's just a really bad way to grow up as opposed to hanging out with a couple of close friends and talking and bonding and having a small tribe.
00:22:06.000 So, this, by the way, is why social contagions have predominantly targeted young women.
00:22:09.000 Okay. 0.83
00:22:10.000 Beautiful example of this statistically.
00:22:12.000 Just as a statistical example, gender dysphoria was almost entirely located among young males in its early iteration.
00:22:21.000 And then it skyrocketed among young females.
00:22:23.000 Why?
00:22:24.000 Well, because people online started talking to each other and girls in groups started saying, well, if you're trans, maybe I'm trans. 0.82
00:22:31.000 Wildly contagious because girls mirror what other people are saying. 0.82
00:22:35.000 Again, gentlemen, this explains why your wife takes so long to get dressed for the club when she already looks good. 1.00
00:22:40.000 Okay, because she's not dressing for you, she's dressing to impress the other ladies. 0.76
00:22:43.000 Okay, that's just the way, again, women are much more social creatures than men, just the way that it works.
00:22:48.000 Okay, so what does that mean for protest? 1.00
00:22:50.000 Well, it means two different types of protest.
00:22:52.000 Again, not all protests are created the same.
00:22:53.000 When men gather to protest, it's usually for one reason either they really, really, really believe in the cause or it's time to riot and loot and grab a TV. 0.66
00:23:01.000 Those are the reasons that men show up to protest. 0.80
00:23:03.000 Why do women show up to protest? 0.66
00:23:05.000 Because it is a play date, it is a gigantic way to hang out with other people in a situation of social confirmation.
00:23:14.000 And so, polarized men.
00:23:17.000 Will turn toward destructive societal movements.
00:23:20.000 And polarized women will turn toward ways that they can demonstrate compassion through things like protest with regard to Lindsey Clancy isn't even oriented around a thing.
00:23:30.000 But here's the thing men and women moderate one another.
00:23:34.000 That's the beautiful thing about marriage.
00:23:36.000 And here's the other thing if we teach women that men are bad, and marriage is bad, and the patriarchy is bad, and their problems in life are all about men and marriage and the patriarchy, then what do we get? 0.80
00:23:45.000 Unmarried women who don't like men and blame them for their unhappiness. 0.78
00:23:48.000 And indeed, that's precisely what we are now getting. 0.92
00:23:51.000 A study published by the New Statesman.
00:23:54.000 Found is a survey of young British women and young British men.
00:24:00.000 Young British men under 30.
00:24:02.000 Do you have a positive or negative view of women?
00:24:05.000 Positive, 72%, 21% neutral, 7% negative. 0.98
00:24:09.000 Women under 25 toward men.
00:24:12.000 Do you have a positive or negative view of men? 0.87
00:24:14.000 Women under 25, 35% positive, 27% negative, 37% neutral. 0.99
00:24:24.000 How do you have a functioning society when? 1.00
00:24:27.000 About one third of women have a positive view of the people who they need to marry as a group. 0.72
00:24:34.000 So, when you take all of this and then you add to it the wildfire of social contagion, what you get is people who believe they are being heard online.
00:24:43.000 You're wondering why you're seeing all these weird clips of women online chucking ice at bathtubs or smacking doors with pillows or whatever.
00:24:48.000 It's because they have been told that if you go to the online world, you will have a bunch of people who are hearing you, who are hearing you.
00:24:57.000 And so, this is why you get tapes of a lady throwing ice at a bathtub doing her mom rage routine.
00:25:02.000 Because what she wants is the clicks. 0.97
00:25:02.000 Why? 0.97
00:25:03.000 The clicks are a form of compassion, in her viewpoint.
00:25:22.000 She's throwing ice in a bathtub on camera on TikTok.
00:25:30.000 Okay.
00:25:33.000 I have never thrown ice into a bathtub.
00:25:35.000 She says it allows me to feel angry without being destructive.
00:25:38.000 I mean, I hope she cleans it up after.
00:25:39.000 That's going to make a mess. 1.00
00:25:43.000 Yeah, exactly.
00:25:44.000 Okay, and then it's not enough.
00:25:46.000 Got to throw more ice.
00:25:50.000 I mean, I hope the ice machine works.
00:25:56.000 Yeah, she set her phone up so that she could do this.
00:25:57.000 She brought special ice this time.
00:25:59.000 Wow, she brought like a sheet of ice so she could really enjoy herself.
00:26:02.000 But then she just dropped it.
00:26:03.000 She didn't actually like it. 1.00
00:26:05.000 This is some serious girl bossing. 0.94
00:26:06.000 Now, again, wow, the aftermath is ice. 0.99
00:26:09.000 Cool.
00:26:11.000 The aftermath is the ice is broken.
00:26:14.000 Okay, so here's the thing about this.
00:26:16.000 Okay, like I get annoyed with my kids too because I'm a parent, I have many children. 0.75
00:26:19.000 My wife gets annoyed with our kids. 0.99
00:26:21.000 It happens.
00:26:22.000 Why are you taping it and putting it online?
00:26:23.000 Because you're looking for compassion in all the wrong places.
00:26:26.000 And again, social contagions cross marital lines.
00:26:29.000 So they can even affect married women. 0.99
00:26:31.000 If you're being told over and over and over, your husband is terrible, society is ignoring you, compassion is to be found online, this is how you get drawn into this sort of crap. 0.96
00:26:41.000 So, what is the solution to all of this? 0.98
00:26:43.000 Widespread marriage, not just you getting married, widespread marriage.
00:26:46.000 This is why marriage is awesome.
00:26:49.000 It's great and you should do it.
00:26:52.000 It's great because it makes men better and it makes women better.
00:26:56.000 I know it's unbelievable that saying like absolutely basic things that civilizations have known for legitimately all of human history is now being treated as some sort of sexist trope.
00:27:05.000 But all social science data backs this all of it, not some, all marriage is great.
00:27:12.000 It turns female compassion toward the immediate husband, children, family. 1.00
00:27:18.000 Because when you extend compassion and empathy to people far, far away and then construct entire systems around that, you generally end up with tyranny.
00:27:26.000 And what does it do to male aggressiveness?
00:27:27.000 Well, instead of men tearing things down, it turns it toward defense of women and children.
00:27:32.000 That's the bargain.
00:27:33.000 It's the whole thing. 0.99
00:27:35.000 It gives women a structure for their compassion and it gives men a structure for their aggression. 0.99
00:27:39.000 Remove those structures and society completely collapses. 0.71
00:27:43.000 You want to know why young men seem to be turning kind of fascist y and young women are turning commie? 0.73
00:27:48.000 That would be your explanation. 0.70
00:27:49.000 When young men are freed of social bonds, they become predators and then they follow alpha predators into battle, particularly if he promises spoils and that they can do whatever they want. 0.67
00:27:57.000 And when young women are freed of social bonds, they seek control via the community. 0.61
00:28:02.000 And that's where we are. 0.80
00:28:04.000 And it's going to get worse from here, gang, because it turns out ain't nobody getting married.
00:28:08.000 All right, coming up, we'll get to the actual solution to this gigantic problem, but I have another solution for you.
00:28:13.000 Okay.
00:28:14.000 You run a business and you need to hire somebody good for your business.
00:28:17.000 Where do you go for that?
00:28:18.000 Well, you go to Zip Recruiter.
00:28:21.000 So every so often, you go to a store, you ask an employee where to find something.
00:28:24.000 Instead of pointing toward aisle 12 and disappearing, they actually walk you over and help you find it.
00:28:28.000 It's a small thing, but you remember it because they went one step beyond what was required.
00:28:31.000 Well, you need that kind of initiative in your business.
00:28:33.000 You need people who recognize what needs to be done, and then they take the action without having to be chased down and kind of forced to do it.
00:28:40.000 That same instinct matters when you're hiring.
00:28:41.000 The best candidates don't simply submit a resume and wait.

00:29:21.000 In 2000, there were about 21 million unmarried men in the United States and about 18 million married men aged 20 to 39.
00:29:29.000 Today, 30 million unmarried young men, 20 to 39, 15 million married men, aged 20 to 30. 0.69
00:29:37.000 Again, 39 is old.
00:29:39.000 Okay, 39 by marital status, that's old.
00:29:43.000 I'm 42.
00:29:45.000 I'm 42 and I've currently been married for 18 years and I have five children.
00:29:51.000 The interminable delaying of growing up is destroying our society.
00:29:56.000 We've made our society totally crazy.
00:29:58.000 We took the single most important fact of human life that men and women are different and that we created an entire institution that's awesome in order to make them better. 0.61
00:30:06.000 And we obliterated it in the name of a supposed equality in all things that simply does not exist.
00:30:11.000 And then we are puzzled by the consequences.
00:30:13.000 So here is the solution Young men, man up, make yourself the best version of yourself.
00:30:18.000 Go to church. 0.91
00:30:19.000 Find a girl. 1.00
00:30:20.000 Ask her out and then marry her and have kids with her. 1.00
00:30:22.000 Young women, woman up. 1.00
00:30:24.000 Make yourself the best version of yourself. 1.00
00:30:26.000 Go to church.
00:30:28.000 Attract a man. 0.98
00:30:30.000 Marry that man. 0.85
00:30:31.000 Get married. 1.00
00:30:32.000 Settle down.
00:30:33.000 Have kids. 0.93
00:30:34.000 You will be happier and you won't be a psycho.
00:30:37.000 But here's what else you have to do.
00:30:38.000 And this is really important place yourself in a community with lots of other married people.
00:30:42.000 Because it turns out human action is socially contagious.
00:30:44.000 This is always true. 0.54
00:30:46.000 People who live near other married people tend to get married.
00:30:49.000 People.
00:30:50.000 Who live near other married people who don't get divorced tend not to get divorced.
00:30:53.000 Parents who move into communities with more kids have more kids.
00:30:57.000 It's not enough to be the one married couple in an anti marriage society with no fault divorce and an entire informational ecosystem designed to destroy your family.
00:31:05.000 We do need to embrace marriage as a society again.
00:31:08.000 And if we don't do that, what you're going to get is all of these pathologies that you're seeing each and every day.
00:31:12.000 Okay. 0.91
00:31:12.000 I do have to comment on one additional dumb take. 0.91
00:31:14.000 Naturally, Candace Owens had her own form of stupid take here. 1.00
00:31:18.000 So we've discussed some of the dumb takes here. 0.99
00:31:20.000 This apparently, according to Candace Owens, it is the It is Big Pharma that is to blame for Lindsay Clancy. 0.99
00:31:26.000 It's not that she was mentally ill.
00:31:27.000 Postpartum psychosis, according to Candace, doesn't exist.
00:31:30.000 It's just the drugs. 0.99
00:31:32.000 Here's Candace Owens. 0.68
00:31:35.000 I made my thoughts clear on this the moment that she was arrested, the moment that it made the news.
00:31:42.000 Lindsay Clancy is obviously not guilty.
00:31:44.000 There are a fleet of doctors who should be imprisoned for what they put her on.
00:31:49.000 I regularly speak out against Big Pharma.
00:31:51.000 They get away with murder all the time.
00:31:53.000 And in this case, they are getting away with the murder.
00:31:57.000 Of really her three children, but also completely destroyed her life.
00:32:01.000 When Lindsey Clancy, in my opinion, is not guilty, she was put into an intentional psychosis when she probably just needed to give her kids away for a weekend to get better.
00:32:11.000 But they constantly give you these drugs that do not make things better.
00:32:15.000 And the cocktail of 10 pharmaceuticals that she was on is absolute madness.
00:32:22.000 Intentionally. 1.00
00:32:23.000 So there's a conspiracy to get her to kill her kids or to make her mentally ill in order to sell. Various drugs to people. 1.00
00:32:32.000 This is a stupid take. 1.00
00:32:33.000 It's a stupid take. 1.00
00:32:34.000 Postpartum psychosis is real. 1.00
00:32:37.000 Now, again, medications interact with one another.
00:32:39.000 And as I've said, I said this earlier this week the medical industry does not know that much about psychiatry.
00:32:45.000 Psychiatry is a great mystery box.
00:32:48.000 The human brain remains a mystery.
00:32:50.000 We don't know what works all the time.
00:32:52.000 It's basically you're sampling berries to try to determine which one will heal and which one will harm.
00:32:57.000 And when it comes to mental illness, you have symptoms that appear.
00:32:59.000 As a result of going up on medication or going down on medication or interactions between medication, which is why psychiatry is extremely difficult.
00:33:06.000 Prescription of psychiatry is extremely, extremely difficult.
00:33:12.000 But the idea that big pharma is like invested in making people nuts is not true.
00:33:19.000 It is not true.
00:33:21.000 It doesn't mean that we have great care.
00:33:23.000 Life is complicated.
00:33:24.000 This idea that it's, it's all a conspiracy that big pharma just wants to make you paranoid schizophrenic or wants to make Lindsey Clancy delusional enough to kill her children just for their profit margin.
00:33:36.000 Like that's not How this works.
00:33:38.000 That's not how this works.
00:33:39.000 People show up with symptoms.
00:33:40.000 They don't know what to do about them.
00:33:41.000 It's disastrous.
00:33:42.000 It's horrifying for her family.
00:33:43.000 She was trying to intern herself at a facility because of that.
00:33:49.000 Denying the realities of life in order to find somebody to blame.
00:33:54.000 Sometimes, sometimes, I know this is difficult, there's not a clear path of blame.
00:34:02.000 Sometimes there's not.
00:34:05.000 Postpartum psychosis is a real thing.
00:34:08.000 Sometimes it requires real medication.
00:34:10.000 Sometimes those medications come with other effects that then require a second medication.
00:34:17.000 Psychiatry is extremely complicated.
00:34:19.000 By the way, we know this when it comes to physical health, right?
00:34:21.000 You probably have a parent or a grandparent who has one of those pill boxes and is taking seven combinations of medicines every day.
00:34:29.000 There's kind of this bizarre anti medical industry routine where it's like, well, you know, you don't need any medicine.
00:34:35.000 Well, no, actually, sometimes you do.
00:34:38.000 Sometimes you do.
00:34:39.000 Doesn't mean they got it right in this case, they clearly didn't.
00:34:42.000 But the notion that somehow this can be laid at the feet of over medication via big pharma is a very, very difficult case.
00:34:50.000 There are certainly cases of over medication, right?
00:34:51.000 The opioid epidemic would be an obvious one.
00:34:54.000 The over prescription of Adderall for ADHD would be another one.
00:34:57.000 Like there are clear times when this happens.
00:34:59.000 This is not one of those times.
00:35:01.000 This is just an incredibly difficult situation for everybody involved with it.
00:35:05.000 Perhaps there was bad prescription, but the notion that it was purposeful, the word there is intentional, that it was intentionally done, and that actually she was totally fine.
00:35:12.000 She just needed a weekend off.
00:35:14.000 That is so ignorant of what postpartum psychosis is. 0.96
00:35:17.000 I would say it's nuts without any sort of pun intended. 0.94
00:35:21.000 What an amazing video you just watched.
