Today on the Matt Walsh Show, Joe Biden finally addresses the rape allegations against him.
00:00:05.200
And it goes about as well as you expected, which is not well at all.
00:00:10.040
Also, many leftists were mad at Trump for defunding the World Health Organization.
00:00:15.200
But today I want to talk about a good reason to defund who that has nothing to do with the coronavirus.
00:00:21.540
In fact, the organization has been, for many years, a leading advocate for sexualizing and grooming children
00:00:36.380
And in today's daily cancellation, I finally cancel feminism.
00:00:43.520
But starting with this, we're going to get to the Joe Biden stuff in just a second.
00:00:50.880
There was a lot of consternation and outrage, as I said,
00:00:54.760
when President Trump suspended funding for the World Health Organization last week.
00:00:59.940
And outrage aside, they clearly deserve to lose funding just on the basis of the past two months alone.
00:01:06.220
This is a health organization, a global, a world health organization, no less,
00:01:12.220
that has addressed a world pandemic by getting nearly everything wrong every step of the way.
00:01:18.220
They originally covered for China, downplayed the threat from COVID-19.
00:01:25.000
Then they reversed themselves and called for these draconian lockdowns.
00:01:29.120
And then they seemingly reversed themselves again.
00:01:32.580
And a couple days ago, they were putting Sweden forward as a model for battling the epidemic.
00:01:42.640
Now, I'm not quite sure if this performance is worth the $400 million a year in funding that we give them.
00:01:50.740
But the case against WHO goes well beyond its stumbling, bumbling response to the coronavirus.
00:01:59.140
For many years, WHO, as I said, has been an advocate for sexualizing children, grooming children with these sex ed courses.
00:02:10.600
It says, on the WHO's official website, International Planned Parenthood Federation is listed as one of their major partners.
00:02:18.200
Planned Parenthood is one of the largest world abortion providers, of course.
00:02:20.860
Additionally, the names and logos of top-tier UN agencies, including the WHO, all appear on the front cover of UNESCO's International Technical Guidance on Sexuality Education, published in January 2018.
00:02:32.860
This document, posted on the WHO website, is laced with references to childhood sexuality, including these statements.
00:02:38.460
Young people want and need sexuality and sexual health information as early and as comprehensively as possible.
00:02:46.180
Children should have agency in their own sexual practices and relationships.
00:02:52.660
Comprehensive sexuality education can, quote, help children form respectful and healthy relationships with sexual partners.
00:03:02.420
As Summit News reports, the World Health Organization's Standards for Sexuality Education in Europe,
00:03:08.480
a framework for policymakers, educational health authorities, and specialists, that's the name of the whole document.
00:03:13.940
It's a long name, provides a framework for sexual education.
00:03:19.040
And the guidelines for even the youngest age groups are fairly shocking.
00:03:26.300
The document provides what they call a holistic approach that empowers children to become, quote,
00:03:31.680
more empowered in order to live out their sexuality and their partnerships in a fulfilling and responsible manner.
00:03:37.840
The true horror of this approach becomes clear when you realize what they want children as young as four years old to be empowered to do exactly.
00:03:50.960
An educational matrix within the document provides specific guidelines for different age groups.
00:03:57.600
And so it goes through, you know, children ages zero to four, children four to six, six to eight, and on down the line.
00:04:05.600
Now, children from ages zero to four, we're told, according to these WHO guidelines,
00:04:11.900
should be, quote, given information about the, quote, discovery of their own body and own genitals,
00:04:18.800
and, quote, enjoyment and pleasure when touching one's own body early childhood masturbation.
00:04:27.020
They're also supposed to be informed of their, quote, right to explore gender identities.
00:04:31.840
Remember, we're talking about children zero to four.
00:04:40.960
Children between four and six, according to the WHO guidelines, are supposed to be informed about, of course, also masturbation and general exploration as well.
00:04:53.900
They want those topics especially to be talked about quite a lot with kids at all age groups and pairs.
00:04:59.140
But there's the added wrinkle that homosexual relationships are supposed to be introduced at this point from four to six.
00:05:05.660
The guidelines get more graphic as you move into the older age brackets.
00:05:10.600
Kids between the ages of 16 and 18, we are told, this is what it says about the kids in that age bracket.
00:05:16.400
It says, the sexual career of young people usually proceeds as follows, kissing, touching and caressing with clothes on, naked petting, sexual intercourse, and finally, oral sex and sometimes anal sex.
00:05:29.500
Now, the phrase sexual career of young people coming from a giant bureaucratic organization, that alone should severely creep you out.
00:05:47.040
But then all of this, in fact, the very idea of government schools teaching sex ed should creep you out.
00:05:54.380
It's, it's, it's, this is what I think we need to understand.
00:05:59.840
It is inevitable that government sex education will take this kind of sharp left turn into grotesquerie of this sort.
00:06:08.800
That's because every statement about sex that a person can make is, aside from the purely scientific statements.
00:06:21.320
But if you're going beyond that, then all of your statements are going to be wrapped in the moral and philosophical beliefs of whoever it is that's making the statement.
00:06:29.080
So it's one thing to teach about human anatomy or the biological facts of human reproduction.
00:06:37.280
And of course, you're going to cover that in school.
00:06:39.800
But once you veer into lessons on the relative merits and proper or improper context for specific sexual acts and behaviors,
00:06:49.640
you have entered a realm that will always be more ideological than scientific.
00:06:57.020
It is the opinion of the degenerates at who that four-year-olds ought to be learning about masturbating.
00:07:09.800
But children at school don't need to be hearing anybody's opinion about sex, especially not that opinion.
00:07:17.980
But that's what sex ed always comes down to, opinions.
00:07:20.900
And if the curriculum is developed and taught by hedonistic, degenerate perverts, the children are going to be taught hedonistic and degenerate and perverse opinions.
00:07:37.760
The best way, and this is why I say, you know, I'm, I'm against sex ed in general.
00:07:44.020
I think, I don't, I don't think there should be sex ed in school.
00:07:45.900
The best way to stop these outrageously inappropriate and not so vaguely pedophilic sex ed courses is to stop all sex ed courses.
00:07:59.840
Let the kids learn about, learn about the science of sex in science class.
00:08:09.380
All the rest of it should fall to the parents to handle.
00:08:15.760
And no, this is not some kind of veiled sales pitch for abstinence education.
00:08:23.780
I don't think there should be abstinence education.
00:08:26.280
Abstinence education in the school creeps me out almost as much as this kind of stuff.
00:08:33.320
Well, actually not nearly that as much, but, but it creeps me out too.
00:08:39.900
Because I don't want government employees teaching my kids how not to have sex any more than I want them teaching them how to have it.
00:08:50.240
That's just, I don't, I don't need a government employee to be telling my kids about abstaining from sex until marriage.
00:08:58.080
The case for abstaining until marriage is a moral case.
00:09:02.960
Now, there's also the physical component of it where you could talk about the STDs you can get and everything.
00:09:08.160
And usually it seems like the abstinence focused sex ed courses tend to go that route.
00:09:18.600
That's certainly not the primary reason, in my opinion, why people should wait until marriage to have sex.
00:09:29.300
And I don't think the classroom is the right place for that sort of instruction.
00:09:33.880
Nor do I trust the average school teacher to make the moral case against premarital sex effectively.
00:09:42.040
I just, I'm not going to, just because you teach health class in a high school, it doesn't mean you're equipped to effectively get that message across.
00:09:57.760
All the teachers need to do is stick to the biological basics.
00:10:00.300
There should be no moralizing whatsoever, one way or another, about sexuality with kids in a school.
00:10:14.880
There is no reason why this stuff should be talked about in school anyway.
00:10:19.900
How about kids go to school and they learn about, you know, learn math, science, literature, writing.
00:10:28.220
I think of it sort of similar to religion, the way that I think religion should be handled in a public school.
00:10:45.220
You know, I think Christianity, as it lies at the foundation of Western civilization, those basic facts should be taught in a school environment.
00:10:56.200
You can't give a kid an understanding of Western civilization if they don't have at least a basic understanding of Christianity and the Bible and many of the other world religions.
00:11:07.300
I think the facts of those religions should be taught because it's important for kids to know that.
00:11:13.620
But when it comes to actually indoctrinating the kids into a particular religious worldview, that obviously is not the place, is not something that should happen in a school.
00:11:24.360
So teach the facts of it, but don't try to actually directly, in the context of teaching, try to evangelize kids into a particular religion.
00:11:35.240
That's not what government schools should be doing.
00:11:38.640
You can teach the facts of it, but you shouldn't be trying to evangelize kids as a teacher into a certain view of sex or a certain moral framework for understanding sex.
00:11:53.960
And if we allow it, then this kind of disgusting, pedophilic degeneracy is going to happen.
00:12:11.060
Accused rapist Joe Biden, as we move on to news here, finally answered the rape allegations against him after almost a month of ducking and dodging and everything.
00:12:23.900
I guess he didn't really duck and dodge for a month because the media didn't ask him about it, so there was nothing to dodge.
00:12:30.060
It's like a game of dodgeball where no one's throwing any balls.
00:12:34.200
But he went on MSNBC this morning, and I have to say, look, credit, I give the media a lot of grief for good reason, especially when it comes to this Joe Biden thing.
00:12:43.500
But I do have to say, and I don't get a chance to say this very often.
00:12:47.080
I'll probably never get a chance to say it again, so I want to say it right now.
00:12:56.640
I think that Biden probably could have gotten a friendlier interview on Fox.
00:13:08.480
He figured, let me find the most far-left news organization I can find, and he went to MSNBC.
00:13:14.740
Now, his mistake was he probably should have gone to CNN because actually these days I think CNN might take that crown.
00:13:33.260
It's just going to be you and me, and I want to get right to the allegation made against you by Tara Reid.
00:13:40.380
So the former Senate aide accuses you of sexual assault.
00:13:45.940
And please, to our viewers, please excuse the graphic nature of this.
00:13:51.500
But I want to make sure that there is no question as to what we're talking about.
00:13:55.740
She says in 1993, Mr. Vice President, that you pinned her against the wall and reached under her clothing and penetrated her with your fingers.
00:14:05.900
Would you please go on the record with the American people?
00:14:32.920
And then much of the interview was focused on Joe Biden's past statements about believing all women.
00:14:40.120
I didn't think MSNBC would hammer this as much as they did.
00:14:43.520
But Mika, to her credit, nailed him on the double standard related to Kavanaugh and other situations.
00:14:54.420
You were unequivocal, Mr. Vice President, back in 2018 during the Kavanaugh controversy and hearings.
00:15:06.660
For a woman to come forward in the glaring lights of focus nationally,
00:15:11.020
you've got to start off with the presumption that at least the essence of what she is talking about is real.
00:15:17.880
Whether or not she forgets the facts, whether or not it's been made worse or better over time.
00:15:25.020
She's going to be going on national television on Sunday.
00:15:27.860
Tara Reid is coming forward in the glaring lights.
00:15:31.620
To use your words, should we not start off with the presumption that the essence of what she's talking about is real?
00:15:41.960
Look, from the very beginning, I've said believing women means taking the woman's claim seriously.
00:15:48.300
When she steps forward and then vet it, look into it.
00:15:56.500
Women have a right to be heard and the press should rigorously investigate claims they make.
00:16:03.520
But in the end, in every case, the truth is what matters.
00:16:06.940
And in this case, the truth is the claims are false.
00:16:09.960
Believing women means taking the woman's claim seriously.
00:16:15.140
That is not what believing women means, actually.
00:16:17.920
And the distinction is really important and obvious.
00:16:20.380
Believing someone is not the same thing as taking their claim seriously.
00:16:23.860
Taking a claim seriously means seriously trying to find out if it's true or not.
00:16:28.120
And that's what we want the court of law to do.
00:16:37.340
Believing someone means accepting the claim as true.
00:16:49.720
So you take the claim seriously, you look into it.
00:16:51.500
If you find evidence, good evidence, then maybe you proceed on to believing the person.
00:17:04.220
The fact that she's a woman has nothing to do whatsoever with believing her or not believing her.
00:17:10.220
When you're trying to decide whether or not to believe someone,
00:17:12.980
their genitalia really shouldn't enter into the equation at all.
00:17:18.640
Now, unless the claim they're making is, I am a woman,
00:17:23.360
and then whether or not they actually are a woman is going to matter quite a lot,
00:17:27.880
and whether or not we believe that claim, at least as far as I'm concerned.
00:17:30.200
Although that's controversial these days, I suppose.
00:17:39.380
It's very clear that believe all women is nonsense.
00:17:46.980
And as Biden is now discovering, because it's being applied to him.
00:17:55.580
He said, assume that the essence of what they're saying is real.
00:18:00.620
Which is another way of saying, assume what they're saying is true.
00:18:03.880
And he doesn't want us to apply that standard to him.
00:18:06.520
So the real answer here for Biden and all the other Democrats is that they never actually believed that we should believe all women.
00:18:17.820
Because even they may be liars, but most of them are actually not crazy.
00:18:25.060
Joe Biden might be getting there, but he's not quite there yet.
00:18:27.380
So if you say believe all women, you're either a lunatic or you're just lying.
00:18:33.400
Or you're proposing that standard as a political ploy and as a means to slander a man who's been accused in a given situation.
00:18:52.400
The truthful answer for Biden would be, look, obviously you don't believe all women.
00:18:59.200
You know, obviously you've got to look at evidence.
00:19:01.880
We were saying that because we were trying to take down Kavanaugh because we were really worried about him getting on the Supreme Court.
00:19:08.160
We were just throwing everything we could at him.
00:19:12.400
And so that's what the believe all women thing was about.
00:19:17.840
And I would almost respect it if somebody, even if it's not Biden, if just somebody on the left would come out and just say that.
00:19:25.600
I would almost respect the honesty, finally, after all this time.
00:19:32.520
They're going to try to find some way to make believe all women and I don't believe this woman work together.
00:19:41.360
They're going to try to find some way to make those two things not contradict each other.
00:19:49.360
It's like trying to make this is a square and this is a circle work, not contradict each other.
00:19:59.820
Number two, hundreds of protesters demonstrated in the Michigan State Capitol yesterday.
00:20:03.960
Some of them were carrying guns, as is their right.
00:20:07.640
And here are some of the sights and sounds of that protest.
00:20:38.260
Leftists were very upset about this, as you can imagine.
00:20:43.020
Despite what you've been told, it is possible to carry a gun and not kill somebody.
00:20:50.260
In fact, the vast majority of people who are carrying guns right now as we speak are not
00:20:56.660
killing anybody and probably have never killed anybody, okay?
00:21:00.380
But I do want to address one thing, one talking point that I saw online all over the place
00:21:05.400
There was a lot of stuff like this from this Marxist account on Twitter.
00:21:08.440
He says, you don't even have to imagine what would happen if these Michigan protesters
00:21:13.560
The argument is that these protesters got away with holding guns and peacefully protesting
00:21:20.820
But if they were black or if they were liberal, they never would have been able to do that.
00:21:24.180
They would have been killed for doing it and so on.
00:21:30.900
And that is the kind of opinion you might have if you suffer from amnesia that has caused
00:21:39.720
you to forget literally everything that happened in our country before yesterday afternoon.
00:21:45.660
Because if you don't have amnesia and you remember what has happened in this country,
00:21:50.100
then you would know that in fact, protesters who are not white conservatives have in recent
00:21:55.980
history been able to get away with quite a lot more than this.
00:22:01.000
The reason why these protesters could get away with doing what they were doing is because
00:22:05.380
of something called the First Amendment and the Second Amendment.
00:22:07.720
That's what empowered them to protest and carry a gun.
00:22:15.660
Think about all those Black Lives Matter protests that turned into riots.
00:22:20.820
It's buildings burned, stores looted, cops assaulted, hardly anybody arrested, nobody killed.
00:22:30.320
In fact, the rioters were basically allowed to riot all they wanted, give them space to
00:22:38.700
You think about the Dallas BLM protests where five police officers were murdered.
00:22:44.500
And then, of course, you think about Antifa shutting down streets, bashing people over the
00:22:48.380
head with lead pipes, environmentalist protesters, stopping traffic during rush hour.
00:22:55.540
It's clear that being anything but a white conservative will enable you to do almost anything
00:23:00.140
you want in the name of protesting, up to and including setting buildings on fire.
00:23:06.060
So that whole talking point makes no sense at all.
00:23:10.120
Number three, you may remember last week I canceled Land O'Lakes Butter because they seemingly
00:23:14.540
were trying to appease the woke crowd by taking the Native American mascot off of their butter
00:23:21.280
Activists have been claiming for a long time that it's somehow offensive and racist to
00:23:24.960
have a Native American woman on a box of butter.
00:23:27.640
Never quite understood that myself, but that's what they said.
00:23:29.760
In fact, one lawmaker said that the Land O'Lakes woman was sexualized and that it was a sexual
00:23:38.500
She, apparently, the lawmaker, thinks of butter in a very erotic light, it would seem.
00:23:44.840
I mean, I admit that I, myself, am a huge fan and admirer of butter.
00:23:54.020
So anyway, now, as I predicted there would be, as anyone could have predicted, you don't
00:23:59.840
have to be Nostradamus, there has actually been a woke backlash against Land O'Lakes appeasing
00:24:06.820
So they tried to appease the woke people, and they're getting a backlash for doing that.
00:24:12.180
Because now we're being told that taking the Native American woman off the box was racist.
00:24:18.760
Having her on the box is racist, but taking her off the box is also racist.
00:24:23.500
There was an op-ed in the Washington Post from a guy who says that his Native American
00:24:26.700
grandfather designed, or in fact, I think it was redesigned, the Land O'Lakes woman back,
00:24:34.040
I don't know, 50 years ago or something, and that the image was meant to, quote, foster
00:24:41.560
And by taking her off, he says it, quote, leaves behind a landscape voided of identity and
00:24:47.120
For those of us who are American Indian, it is a history that is all too familiar.
00:25:02.760
But this is what happens when you try to appease the woke crowd.
00:25:07.240
It is a classic damned if you do, damned if you don't.
00:25:14.800
Because if you do it and then you don't, then you're damned on both ends.
00:25:19.540
So it's better to just, whatever it is they're telling you to stop doing, just keep on doing
00:25:25.280
it or whatever they're telling you to start doing, don't do it.
00:25:28.580
Just, just, the point is, continue along your course, your chosen course.
00:25:32.860
If you got the woman on the butter box, just continue along with that because, yes, they're
00:25:38.000
But first of all, who cares if they whine about it?
00:25:40.560
These are, these are the most impotent whiners on the planet.
00:25:45.580
And second, if you, if you, if you listen to the whines, there's just going to be more
00:25:53.400
Number four, a Rutgers University women's studies professor named Brittany Cooper, who
00:25:58.080
goes by Professor Crunk on Twitter, Professor Crunk is her name, says that, said this week
00:26:04.120
that the coronavirus is the fault of Trump supporters.
00:26:06.940
She said, quote, not only do white conservatives not care about black life, but by most, by,
00:26:15.040
but my most cynical negative read of the white supremacists among them is that they welcome
00:26:20.340
this massive winnowing of black folks in order to slow demographic shifts and shore up political
00:26:26.460
She added, um, F each and every Trump supporter.
00:26:40.860
It spread out of their country, largely because of their lies.
00:26:47.440
If you're a white Trump supporter in South Carolina, this is your fault somehow.
00:26:57.940
All I really wanted to say, though, is that while I disagree with Professor Crunk on this
00:27:03.780
issue, um, at least I know that anyone who went to Rutgers to learn about women's studies
00:27:09.580
from Professor Crunk will emerge from that experience with a usable and translatable education
00:27:16.260
that can land them any number of prestigious job opportunities.
00:27:23.680
There are so many employers out there who are looking for women's studies majors.
00:27:30.300
I get so many emails from employers, especially these days, you know, with the job market being
00:27:36.160
I get all these emails from employers saying, I need a women's studies major to get in here
00:27:47.460
So think about what you can do with a women's studies degree.
00:28:10.640
You can do all kinds of things, you know, et cetera, et cetera, and so forth, right?
00:28:19.300
And so, you know, don't, don't, don't take, don't be too hard on, on Professor Crunk.
00:28:23.160
She's, you might think she, she sounds like a vile human being, but she is providing kids
00:28:32.400

00:30:00.700
Okay, for our daily cancellation today, we are canceling feminism.
00:30:06.880
There are many reasons to do this, of course, starting with feminism slaughtering 60 million
00:30:11.380
You know, I would say that's a pretty good reason.
00:30:14.120
But beyond that, the real reason they're being canceled today is because the feminist
00:30:18.360
movement is today nothing but a collection of whiny, petty, ridiculous women searching
00:30:26.440
And considering that women are so privileged, in fact, are uniquely privileged in Western
00:30:32.040
society, they have to get increasingly creative in their hunt for persecution.
00:30:37.800
The primary persecution that a feminist faces is that she is not persecuted.
00:30:42.160
And so she's looking desperately for something.
00:30:44.700
Which brings us to an article in The Stylist, a website called The Stylist, article titled,
00:31:12.980
I don't remember how old I was when I first heard the phrase, sleep is a feminist issue.
00:31:18.940
It was before I started sharing a bed with men on the regular.
00:31:24.540
I never felt I could cope with more than one at a time.
00:31:27.600
Before then, I couldn't understand how sleep could ever be a gendered issue, let alone a
00:31:33.040
So she hates having men in her bed, but yet she constantly has men in her bed.
00:31:37.960
Interesting situation she has here for herself.
00:31:39.700
You go to bed, you go to sleep, you wake up in the morning and go about your day.
00:31:44.820
Someone else goes to bed with you, you might have sex, chat, and then you go to sleep and
00:31:48.180
he goes to sleep and you wake up in the morning, you might have sex, chat, then you go about
00:31:52.520
Oh, ha ha, you naive, well-rested, single fool.
00:31:55.640
Gather round me, children, in the woody glen of truth and listen to my hard-won words of
00:32:00.520
wisdom as I collapse in chronic fatigue on a bed of moss.
00:32:03.700
Because this is what happens when you enter into long-term hetero bed sharing.
00:32:11.380
And this is just heterosexual men, of course, right?
00:32:18.900
In fact, I think it's pretty racist that she didn't stipulate that.
00:32:22.520
Because all of these accusations apparently would apply to black men too, and I find that
00:32:30.000
And then it goes through this whole list of bad things that men do to keep women awake.
00:32:35.180
She says, at X o'clock, your partner bursts through the door, shucks off his clothes,
00:32:41.620
He thinks he is being profoundly thoughtful because he hasn't broken or set fire to anything
00:32:45.780
He thinks he is slightly creeping into his nest like a tiny field mouse without disturbing
00:32:52.720
And then if he realizes you are now awake, he will start a conversation on whatever subject
00:32:58.700
Because midnight really is absolutely the best time for this.
00:33:01.020
And then she mentions that he's going to try to have sex with you, and she does so in
00:33:09.420
He falls asleep within three seconds because for him, the day took care of itself, and there's
00:33:15.880
You will be disturbed half a dozen times more by his snoring and or the fact that there isn't
00:33:20.380
a man alive who has learned how to rotate under the duvet rather than take it with him when
00:33:25.240
Don cracks and his alarm goes off early because he missaid it.
00:33:34.700
These points may all resonate with you, or they may not, but add up how much sleep you
00:33:38.880
lose a week, a month, a year to the ones that do.
00:33:42.220
Ask yourself how much sleep you lose to a man's unconscious sense of entitlement.
00:33:47.280
A belief so profound it seems natural to feel his time, his rest, his smooth passage through
00:33:54.080
You can ponder this sleep and inequality beyond the night hours, then decide what to do about
00:34:05.240
First of all, I also remember the first time that I heard the phrase, sleep is a feminist
00:34:12.220
This was the first time because I don't run in the kind of circles where that is a commonly
00:34:19.700
Second, I am actually guilty of some of this stuff.
00:34:24.080
But that brings me to, third, even if some of this stuff does represent a common difference
00:34:29.240
between men and women, that doesn't make it a feminist issue.
00:34:33.120
And I'm not at all convinced that this is a, you know, common to men, even if it's common
00:34:38.420
Oversleeping my alarm, coming to bed late, snoring, I do all that stuff.
00:34:42.580
But it would surprise you, it may shock you to learn, I have heard tales of women who also
00:34:47.740
snore sometimes or oversleep their alarm or go to bed late.
00:35:15.060
Regardless, not every difference between men and women, even differences that cause inconveniences
00:35:22.280
for one or the other, are matters of persecution and oppression.
00:35:32.420
And when you put two different people together, there's going to be a little bit of tension
00:35:41.460
You're just a person living in human society, dealing with all the things the rest of us
00:35:48.780
Fourth, this idea that men fall asleep easily because we have no stresses while women carry
00:35:53.620
all the burden and they're so stressed and they're dealing with everything while the man
00:35:59.640
This is exactly the kind of self-aggrandizing, self-martyring crap that makes it so miserable
00:36:07.160
And it's why feminist marriages fall apart all the time.
00:36:09.700
Because the feminist has a cartoonish view of men, and when you view your spouse as a
00:36:16.040
cartoon and yourself as a vivid, real, complex human, that is not a recipe for a great relationship.
00:36:25.480
And that is also why I thank God every day that my wife is not a feminist.
00:36:29.340
Fifth, if you think that snoring is a sign of an unconscious sense of entitlement, I'd like
00:36:39.660
Snoring is not a patriarchal plot to oppress you.
00:36:55.840
But either way, a person can't really help the noises they make when they sleep.
00:37:08.480
Sixth point is, just in general, people who complain so much about being exhausted, as
00:37:25.440
But people are very proud of, have you noticed this, how proud people can be of their lack
00:37:35.540
of sleep, their alleged lack of sleep, the stress they're under, how busy they are.
00:37:43.380
If somebody only got three hours of sleep last night, they're going to tell you.
00:37:47.200
They're going to find a way to work it into the conversation because they're so proud of
00:37:56.000
And then the seventh point is that feminism is humanity's greatest mistake.

00:38:15.140
This is from Kevin says, hey, Matt, my brother and I are big fans of the show, and I would
00:38:22.140
The friendship is plutonic, and there is no romantic feelings between us.
00:38:26.500
Plutonic would be like a relationship on Pluto or a relationship with an alien from
00:38:35.900
And if that's what this is, then that really puts a different tenor on our conversation.
00:38:42.000
About a year ago, she began dating her now fiancé, who has expressed concern about her hanging
00:38:48.620
Both her and I have attempted to assure him that there is nothing going on when we spend
00:38:52.580
time with each other, but nothing seems to bring his mind to ease.
00:38:56.220
I have attempted to befriend the fiancé, only to learn he makes snide remarks about my
00:39:01.820
My friend does not want to end our friendship, but I am beginning to fear that our friendship
00:39:08.900
Do you think I should end the friendship, or is the fiancé being unreasonable?
00:39:13.480
Well, Kevin, I hate to tell you, but I think the fiancé is being reasonable, not unreasonable.
00:39:23.040
Now, certainly, once your friend is married, and she's a married woman, it will not be appropriate
00:39:29.560
for her to go off and hang out individually, one-on-one, with a male friend.
00:39:35.240
I mean, even if they were just dating, I would say it's not appropriate, but as the relationship
00:39:40.940
becomes more and more serious, your friendship, I think, becomes less and less appropriate.
00:39:48.160
Now, and you actually didn't say that you guys hang out one-on-one, but the way you talk
00:39:54.040
about spending time together and so on, it sounds like that's what you're saying.
00:39:58.900
Now, if you don't, if this is just a friend of yours, and you guys see each other in groups
00:40:05.140
and stuff like that, then I would say, yeah, the fiancé is being unreasonable.
00:40:10.660
Assuming either of you haven't given him a reason to suspect that there's something going
00:40:14.580
on, but so if it's a group thing, and this is just someone you knew in college, and you
00:40:20.700
stay in touch with, but you guys don't get together one-on-one, then I would say that
00:40:24.760
But I'm going to assume, based on context, that you guys do hang out one-on-one, and that,
00:40:32.660
The fiancé is right to have a problem with it.
00:40:35.620
Male-female friendships, where one or both are romantically committed, and where you
00:40:43.000
guys are hanging out one-on-one, that's just asking for trouble.
00:40:47.540
And it will be your friend's responsibility to put her marriage before you, which means
00:40:55.920
And see, the fiancé should be more important to her than you are, considerably more important.
00:41:06.280
And his feelings and his comfort level should be way more important to her than you.
00:41:12.980
That doesn't mean you guys can never speak again, and that you can't be friends.
00:41:19.120
But as I said, the way you talk about it makes it sound like it is inappropriate.
00:41:26.060
And not to say that I think you're lying about not, you know, I don't think that you're trying
00:41:31.360
to do anything with her or break up the marriage or something like that, but it's still not
00:41:36.360
And it is a recipe for at least an emotional affair, which often will turn physical.
00:41:42.160
But even if it doesn't turn physical, it's bad enough.
00:41:45.140
I think a general rule of thumb here is when you're married or you're engaged, if you find
00:41:52.620
yourself having to explain, you know, saying now from your friend's perspective, if she's
00:41:59.300
finding herself having to say to her fiancé, oh, there's nothing going on, it's all platonic.
00:42:06.540
If you find yourself having to say that, that's a really good indication that there is something
00:42:13.980
going on and that you're doing something wrong.
00:42:17.520
You should just really never be in a situation or put yourself in a situation where you have
00:42:25.000
Now, there are spouses out there who are way too controlling and paranoid and everything else
00:42:32.820
and way overly jealous and, you know, I don't know, maybe just walking down the street saying
00:42:39.300
hi to a man would set him off, would set him off.
00:42:44.780
Now, if that's the case, then that's totally different, but that doesn't sound like that's
00:42:48.860
And so I would say, yeah, I think you guys need to respect the fiancé's wishes for sure.
00:42:58.780
It's just not, I mean, people who defend this kind of stuff, I just don't see it as worth
00:43:08.040
When you're married or getting married, it's not worth the strain on the relationship and
00:43:20.080
It's not worth it for this platonic friendship.
00:43:24.000
And the problem is from the fiancé's perspective, from the other guy's perspective, he's going
00:43:30.560
to start thinking, well, if this is so worth it to her, if it's worth it to her to have this
00:43:37.940
tension with me and for me to be this uncomfortable with it and all the arguments we're having,
00:43:43.660
you know, if all that's worth it to her to maintain this friendship with you, then the
00:43:48.820
fiancé is going to be thinking, there is something going on here.
00:43:52.260
She is way too attached to this other guy, and that's a problem for me because I'm getting
00:43:59.860
Okay, this is from Amanda, it says, Matt, I don't agree with your comments on cohabitation.
00:44:05.060
My boyfriend and I have been living together for eight years and have two kids and we're
00:44:11.960
Um, it isn't for us, but we're raising our family and we're doing fine.
00:44:16.120
Stop trying to put everyone into your fundamentalist box.
00:44:19.540
Well, Amanda, you asked me if you're making a mistake.
00:44:24.540
Since you asked, I'll, that's what I would say.
00:44:27.120
I think it's a big mistake, actually, especially since you have kids.
00:44:44.900
You're saying to the other person, we're in this for the long haul.
00:44:49.680
People fall short of it, of course, and marriages do end, but that's what marriage is supposed
00:44:58.040
Is it because you don't want to make that kind of commitment?
00:45:00.340
And if that's the case, then I would remind you that you already made a lifelong commitment
00:45:05.620
to your boyfriend by starting a family with him.
00:45:09.800
So you've got this, if not a lifelong commitment, you have a lifelong attachment to him.
00:45:15.560
A very significant one through your kids, right?
00:45:18.240
And now your kids deserve a mom and dad who are married.
00:45:24.100
They deserve a mom and dad who are a husband and wife.
00:45:31.100
One of the main points of marriage is to serve as a solid foundation for the family.
00:45:36.040
And you're saying to your spouse, I'm not going to leave.
00:45:45.080
It's really important for your kids to hear that and to know that they have that kind of
00:45:52.740
So I don't see why you'd want to deprive them of that.
00:45:58.160
And you can't get mad at me for passing judgment on your personal situation.
00:46:10.460
And I think you're depriving your kids of something that they deserve.
00:46:18.920
When they go to school or whatever, they're with their friends.
00:46:22.400
I don't know how old they are, but eventually they're going to figure out that most of their
00:46:26.800
other friends have parents who are husband and wife and their own parents are not.
00:46:33.680
And they're going to wonder about that difference.
00:46:37.440
And it's going to be traumatic for them when they start to realize that their parents have
00:46:42.400
And so there's a real instability there and a real insecurity that your kids are going to
