00:39:22.940So their maternal affection for their child is the natural impulse for them.
00:39:28.020And they feel like there's this outside draw or, or, and to the point where they would often report to this doctor in particular, Dr. Reed, take my baby away from me. Something's trying to grab ahold of me and get me to harm my child. And I don't want to do it. Get it away. And, and you see this time and time again.
00:39:48.320And it's just, I think the idea that going back to your point of this being truly as old as time, this is just the early modern period.
00:39:57.100As I looked into this, Wes, you alluded to like Hippocratic writings of women having this urge to kill their children.
00:40:02.740This is actually clearly an attack of demonic, like this specifically, women and their young children, women being particularly vulnerable.
00:40:10.260we've already talked about this immunologically and hormonally, they are a prime target for
00:40:16.220demonic influence to do heinous things like this. And then we go back to the case and say,
00:40:20.340well, all of these things converging, can we really be surprised? And then you said something
00:40:25.740earlier, I just want to go back to this quickly. You talked about the ways in which we actually
00:40:29.680agree with the modern third wave feminist assessment of our society as it relates to
00:40:34.780patriarchy. Because this is really the interesting conclusion. We actually have the same
00:40:39.940conclusion and as our diagnosis if you will of our society we do live in a patriarchal society
00:40:44.780all of our institutions our systems jurisprudence and law all of them are patriarchal i remember
00:40:49.920uh jordan peterson this would have been maybe five years ago he was doing an interview with
00:40:54.100helen lewis from the atlantic on gq and i remember her pressing him on this topic and and in classical
00:40:59.360liberal fashion he's like well in what way is our are our institutions patriarchal and she's like
00:41:04.760well the last name right and she's like gotcha he's like well no actually it's i haven't made
00:41:10.360up my mind i'm not clear whether or not that's patriarchal um nope dr peterson was wrong the
00:41:15.680systems are patriarchal there's a reason that women take the last name of their husbands because
00:41:19.680all of our systems are patriarchal so going back to we have the right diagnosis but here's the1.00
00:41:24.640problem feminists hate it yes and and so what we're what we're caught in societally is you have1.00
00:41:30.760feminists on one side saying this is the system it's patriarchal to which we on the other side1.00
00:41:35.040say yes we agree but the feminists are pulling us into the system of limbo of limbo it's it's
00:41:40.820complete chaos all this that's so wise all this goes back to genesis chapter three when god is
00:41:45.900dealing out judgment for the sin of mankind the feminist wants to say that patriarchy is the
00:41:52.040consequence of sin that's not what's going on god says your desire will be for your husband but he1.00
00:41:57.600will rule over you. It's the first half of that statement that is the judgment, not the second,
00:42:03.920not the latter. So the second half of the statement is he will rule over you. That's not the curse,
00:42:09.500the consequence because of sin. Male headship, patriarchy is not the curse. The curse is your
00:42:15.580desire will be for your husband. That's not speaking of an affection or a romantic desire.
00:42:20.480That's the same language that we later find just one chapter later. In fact, in Genesis chapter 4,
00:42:25.960when God speaks to Cain, when Cain is tempted to murder his brother Abel, and God says to him,
00:42:33.480sin is crouching at the door. Its desire is to have you. That is, to master you, to rule over
00:42:42.620you. But you, rather, must master sin. You must subject sin to your will. You must overcome.
00:42:50.140So that judgment that God renders, this consequence for the fall of mankind in Genesis chapter 3, as it pertains specifically to the woman, the curse is not patriarchy.
00:43:02.100The curse is feminism, that is, the hatred, like Antonio was saying, the aversion towards patriarchy.
00:43:09.240The curse is not, he will rule over you.0.65
00:43:11.820No, the curse is, you will desire to rule over him.
