00:03:35.180
I'm from Denver, Colorado, and I currently work as a nanny, and I am a student at UC Santa Barbara.
00:03:41.600
What are you studying? I'm studying political science and professional writing.
00:03:46.440
Is one of the major, one of the minor, or is that the double major? Yes, majoring in political
00:03:50.580
science, minor, and professional writing. All right, cool. What about you? Hello, everybody. I'm Amy.
00:03:56.800
I am 34 from Los Angeles, and I am a podcast host of the Amy Is Show and a 16-year military veteran.
00:04:03.220
What branch of the military? Army. Okay. Rock and roll, rock and roll.
00:04:13.700
My sprinkler goes like this. Toby McGuire got bit by a spider. Me must have been bit by a goat.
00:04:24.000
Okay, thank you very much. Andrew's, he's a little bit behind. He's having some power
00:04:27.840
issues, but we are going to have him calling in here momentarily. Thank you, Intel Wild.
00:04:33.060
Appreciate it. What was your rank in the military? Staff sergeant. Staff sergeant. Okay, cool.
00:04:39.900
What about you? My name is Chase Carson. I am 27, almost 28 next week, and I am from California,
00:04:49.620
but I moved around all over, and I work at Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital in the nutrition department.
00:04:56.340
Are you a nutritionist? Barista, retail, like, I make the coffee drinks for the doctors and stuff like that.
00:05:07.660
All right, welcome. Hi, I'm Daria. I'm from, I was born in Iran, came, grew up in Los Angeles
00:05:15.900
for the most part, since I was eight, and I'm currently just pursuing my tattooing business
00:05:24.580
and working on my art shows and little short films and animations like that.
00:05:36.320
My name is Jess. I'm 30. I'm from Bay Area, California. I'm a bartender, and I'm actually
00:05:57.580
33, okay. All right, why, just curious, why, I guess, what was the motivation?
00:06:03.180
Um, I come from a pretty hard background. I don't have much education, and trying to better
00:06:10.120
myself in life, obviously being a bartender at 30 years old is pretty embarrassing, so
00:06:13.700
I should probably do something with myself. And while working and supporting myself as
00:06:19.440
one single human being, then that's the easiest way to get it done and not lose out on the lifestyle
00:06:29.600
I said, I just Googled some things, because some people in the chat were saying, the age
00:06:36.780
limit to enlist in the United States Marine Corps is 17 to 28.
00:06:42.620
I was a recruiter for the military for a really long time, like almost six years, and they do
00:06:49.620
have periods of time where they'll increase the age limit, but then also, depending on
00:06:53.560
wartime right now, the military is having a really hard time with recruiting, so they opened
00:06:56.480
it up. But also, they have waivers available as well, depending on what they're needing.
00:07:00.340
I didn't sign any waivers, and I was fully welcomed, and they, yeah, I'm good.
00:07:08.820
I am Morgan. I am, as of last week, 29. Also, East Bay. I am a, officially, as of a couple
00:07:23.100
weeks ago, licensed lash technician. And I don't know if I missed anything else. Age, where
00:07:34.480
I'm from? Job? Yeah, I think you got everything. Yep. Hannah, 26, from the DMV, and I work
00:07:41.620
in web design. All right. Where are you from? DMV. The DMV. Maryland. Oh, Maryland. Okay.
00:07:50.340
Who would know what the DMV is? I thought you worked. Like DC, Maryland, Virginia. She lives
00:07:57.100
inside the DMV. I'm like, what does that mean? I was thinking the same thing. Did you say
00:08:01.380
what you do for work? Web design. Oh, web design. Okay. Mason, what about you? Yeah, my name
00:08:06.760
is Mason Gregoire. First and foremost, I'm primarily a Christ follower. My job is mechanical
00:08:13.420
engineer, but I'm pivoting towards the Air Force. I want to go into Air Force Special Warfare,
00:08:21.760
so I'm training up for that right now. That's awesome. Congratulations. Oh, yeah, 28. Congratulations.
00:08:28.240
All right. Thank you. And we have Andrew calling in here in any moment, guys, so he will introduce
00:08:35.080
himself momentarily. Going around the table once more, what is everybody's current relationship
00:08:40.220
status? So, are you single, talking stage, situationship, friends with benefits, friends
00:08:47.100
with benefits? Did I say that? Relationship. Married, married. There's so many different
00:08:52.340
things today. Polycule, sex, cult, harem, whatever it may be. If you're single, how long
00:08:58.300
have you been single, and what's the longest relationship you've ever been in, starting
00:09:01.840
with you? Go ahead. Talking stage. Talking stage. All right. How long have you been in
00:09:06.140
that? About a month. One month. Okay. Longest relationship? Longest relationship, I would
00:09:11.580
say it would have to be about a year. One year. Okay. Now, what does it mean for you
00:09:18.040
to be in a talking stage? What does that look like? I think a talking stage is when you're
00:09:22.740
still trying to establish if you're getting to know, like, you're still trying to get
00:09:26.140
to know the person. Don't want to rush into things, but you're showing interest in them,
00:09:31.460
but it's not clear if you fully like them yet. Still trying to get to know them and decide
00:09:35.460
if you'd like to become official. Okay. How did you guys meet? We actually met in person
00:09:40.640
through a mutual friend. Are you in a sorority or anything like that? No, I'm not. Okay.
00:09:47.000
So, was it like a blind date? Like, was it an intro, or you just met at a friends gathering
00:09:52.740
party? No. My friend invited me out for dinner, and she also said that her friend would be there
00:09:57.060
as well. It was a group thing, and she was like, oh, I think you might be interested in
00:10:00.500
him, and then we ended up hitting it off, and we've been talking since. Okay. All right.
00:10:06.840
And so, are you guys seeing other people at all? Is he seeing other people? Are you seeing
00:10:12.880
other people? Other people in the picture? I feel like that's not my business in the
00:10:16.360
talking stage. Until we're official, that's not up to me. Well, what about on your end?
00:10:22.840
On my end? No, but that's also because I'm really busy, and I just don't have the time to
00:10:26.620
right now. But if he wants to see other people right now, that's fine. It's his business.
00:10:30.640
But until we become, if we were to become official, then it would become my business.
00:10:35.420
It wouldn't bother you, for example, if you found out he was in sexual relationships with
00:10:40.900
three sorority girls? No. It wouldn't bother you? It wouldn't deter you? I'm not a jealous person,
00:10:46.580
and I think it's long. Come on. So, you hang out with him? You just move on. Yeah, I mean.
00:10:51.440
Oh, wait. So, you cut off the relationship? No, no. It wouldn't bother me. It wouldn't. I
00:10:56.400
feel like it depends on the situation. I think you're giving, like, a very vague point. I think
00:11:02.640
that I would have to sit down and talk with him and see what, get a gauge on the situation. But at
00:11:06.580
the end of the day, if he wants to do that, that's his own business. He's an individual person. I'm not
00:11:10.400
going to police him, put limits on it. So, you'd continue seeing him? Well, it would depend on the
00:11:14.560
situation. It's subjective. He's having sexual intercourse with three sorority girls. Not
00:11:19.060
orgy, but, like, one's on Monday, one's on Wednesday, one's on Friday. But, like, sleeping
00:11:26.360
with multiple people at the same time is okay with you? I think it would depend more on the
00:11:31.300
situation. I think I'd have to sit down and talk with him. I told you the situation. I told you the
00:11:33.860
situation. Yeah, you told me the situation, but you told me in, like, a 10-second convo. I think that
00:11:39.020
there's a lot more. Like, not everything is black and white. I would have to probably sit down and talk
00:11:43.040
with him. I would probably end things, but I'm definitely someone who likes to hear someone's full
00:11:49.040
perspective before doing so. Yeah, I mean, yeah. So, you would, when you say you would probably
00:11:54.660
end things, it would bother you to some degree? Well, I think what you're describing is, like,
00:12:01.200
a one-sentence kind of situation, and I think it's a lot more complex than that. I don't think so,
00:12:05.980
because I'm in the same, sorry to interrupt you, but. No, it's okay. I'm in the same situation as you are,
00:12:10.700
and as somebody, as yourself, that's not sleeping with multiple people or dating multiple people
00:12:17.320
and finding out the person that you're sleeping with and the climate that we are in as far as
00:12:21.980
women and diseases and just things in that general
00:12:26.240
area, that if you found out he was sleeping with three, four, five other people,
00:12:33.600
you would be okay with that? Because absolutely not. Because I don't, I couldn't say I'm okay with
00:12:39.580
that because I get it, do what you want, but for my own safety, for my own, like, reassurance,
00:12:46.280
for my own mental health. Because while you're talking to someone, you're getting to know them.
00:12:51.600
How can you get to know me when you're getting to know four or five other people at the same time?
00:12:55.700
Yeah. Because you're not going to know me because you have this woman telling you this and that one
00:12:59.280
and this one and that one. That doesn't make sense to me. I agree with your point. I definitely think
00:13:04.140
that that's totally valid. I didn't disclose the nature of our sexual relations. I agree that it's
00:13:10.900
important to practice safe sex and everything like that. No, for sure. That's not what I mean,
00:13:14.400
but I'm just saying, like, communication is key in that aspect. And two, while sleeping with
00:13:19.800
someone, obviously, that is very much, that is a very close thing, that it's a very intimate thing.
00:13:25.520
No, I agree. So that is very hard. Then they have four or five other girls and you're just sitting
00:13:31.440
there like, man, I hope he chooses me. Nope. I also think there have to be certain issues where
00:13:37.160
you draw a line where you say, if you're having sex with other people, it's not going to happen.
00:13:44.760
Like, there are certain things that you have to have a hard line. It doesn't matter what the
00:13:47.800
reason is. Because, I mean, say he says, oh, hey, I'm sleeping with three other chicks,
00:13:52.660
but I have a really good reason for why I have to. That doesn't exist. That's the dumbest thing I've
00:13:58.480
ever heard in my life. So, I mean, like, he could speak on all of these things, but at the end of the
00:14:03.620
day, it's absolute garbage. And you kind of have to, I don't sound stupid and cheesy for saying
00:14:10.100
this. You have to respect yourself and be like, and you also have to respect that there are,
00:14:14.940
there are things in a relationship you just don't do. And there are signs and markers and
00:14:19.140
other people that just show that they have low standards and they don't really know what they're
00:14:24.460
looking for. And they have practice terrible relationship, whatever strategies. You just kind
00:14:31.200
have to realize those. And it just seems like, uh, you're trying to be charitable and kind and be
00:14:37.180
like, hey, maybe he has a good reason, but there's certain things where you can just be like, no,
00:14:42.640
But that's not real because I guess that's like a social norm now, but that is not really a social
00:14:47.980
norm because then you're in this relationship with this one person and you can sleep with five,
00:14:52.760
six, seven people. And then all of a sudden you're going to get married and you can never sleep with
00:14:55.380
anybody else again. So this talking stage, you might as well just talk to this person and be like,
00:14:59.900
Hey, you know what? I'm not seeing anybody. And if you're not seeing anybody, let's go and try
00:15:03.840
and figure this out. But I'm not trying to be with somebody or me be with a million other people
00:15:09.040
at the same time. Like you're never going to get to know somebody while you have five, six, seven,
00:15:13.940
or maybe even two people, three people, you're never going to get to know them the way you want
00:15:18.120
to get to know them while having multiple people there. I do have to move things on here a little
00:15:22.360
bit. Um, first off, also, I forgot to mention this. We're testing out a new, uh, audio mixer. So there
00:15:28.640
might be some differences in the audio. I'm looking in the chat, Nick, have you been monitoring
00:15:32.880
the chat? Is there a, how's the audio guys? It might be a little quiet. It could potentially
00:15:40.040
be a little quieter than usual. Does it sound okay? A couple of people are reporting, uh,
00:15:45.100
some potential audio issues. So does it sound okay? Uh, is it too low? TTS is echoey. Not
00:16:00.880
sure entirely what that means, but she was going. Okay. Um, and also we have Andrew here. So while we
00:16:11.860
have Andrew, uh, go ahead and introduce yourself, please. Yeah. My name is Andrew Wilson. I'm the
00:16:20.980
host of the crucible. It's the fastest growing debate channel, uh, on YouTube to my knowledge.
00:16:26.100
I am a political analyst, political satirist, and, uh, I like to do debates every once in
00:16:32.240
a while. So, um, glad to, uh, to be invited here to whatever. I think I've already tangled
00:16:37.420
up with one of you, uh, over on access Vegas. So. What's up, Andrew? It's nice to see you
00:16:44.120
again. Should be, should be a funny evening. We parted as friends. We parted as friends.
00:16:49.500
Are you sure? Yes. Round two. Round two. Damn, are we picking our? No, no, no. To be honest,
00:16:58.320
to be honest, Andrew and I are actually on the same page on most things. Choose your
00:17:02.280
player. We really are. There's just a few topics we disagree on, but it's healthy banter, but
00:17:07.540
we truly are on the same page on those things. No, I love that. Love that. Yeah. I love to
00:17:12.960
say as, as, uh, before we get back into it, as controversial as people find Andrew, I definitely
00:17:21.580
respect the, the genuine criticism and, uh, what is the word? Maybe that might be better.
00:17:34.280
Well, no, cause I, I know that he's not listening right now. I'm just saying between me and him.
00:17:38.780
Speaking the mic to the audience. Um, true, true. Um, definitely appreciate the, I'm sorry,
00:17:48.520
I got moved on. Um, relationship status, please. I am. I appreciate the, as well.
00:17:57.500
I'm single. I am not dating anybody. Longest relationship? Four years. How long have you
00:18:03.780
been single? I've been single for about three years now. All right. Single for three years.
00:18:09.820
Okay. What about you? I've been single. I'm single. I have been single for eight, seven years.
00:18:20.520
I've been single for about eight, seven years and longest I had was two, three, four months,
00:18:28.980
about four months. Wait, the longest relationship was four months, four months, but that was like
00:18:36.900
back when I was like, and you're 28 right now. Yeah. So the last time you had like a three to
00:18:42.760
four month or any sort of relationship when I was 21 was okay. All right. Um, so the four month,
00:18:53.320
three to four month one, did you consider that a boyfriend, girlfriend or not? They did. It was
00:18:58.100
like a weird toxic relationship. Um, so it was kind of a relationship and then it just ended up,
00:19:07.560
they left, they ended up ghosting me without actually breaking up with me. And, uh, you're
00:19:13.300
bisexual, correct? Yes. Okay. Was it of the people you've, uh, dated predominantly men, women mix of
00:19:20.340
both? More men. But as I progressed into just being me, I ended up having female partners later
00:19:28.120
on as sexual encounters. But you've never like had a longer term thing with any women, just casual,
00:19:34.940
just casual. So recently have you had casual encounters? Yes. Okay. All right. And so, um,
00:19:44.420
is this just something like you're not desirous of a long-term relationship? They never, uh,
00:19:49.900
I don't try to search for them so much anymore. They always just find me. Whatever happens,
00:19:55.680
happens, honestly. Okay. So you have no desire? Like, do you want to get married, have kids,
00:20:01.660
anything like that? I do, but the kid per se for me is not good for my mental health. I'm still
00:20:06.960
trying to figure out what I want and who I want. But right now just encounters are to me more freeing
00:20:14.640
and not structured. Not permanent. When you say, when you say encounters are more freeing,
00:20:19.800
what, what would an encounter look like? More sexual encounters, um, are more freeing than other,
00:20:27.820
like, just go out for coffee. I'm like, no, I'm like, I'm more casual. Um, how do you typically
00:20:36.260
encounter these encounters? A lot of dating apps, mostly club dating apps or clubs going out bars,
00:20:48.020
clubs? Yes. Okay. You have to be careful on who you look for. How would you like how frequently
00:20:53.900
would you say you have these encounters? I was on a hiatus at the moment due to taking care of my
00:21:00.100
mental status. So I actually haven't, it's been like a month or two since I last had in an, uh,
00:21:09.260
encounter. A month or two. Yes. All right. Have you ever just gone on a tear? What do you mean a tear?
00:21:20.900
Like, like binging? Yeah. And like, I do, but I do. I used to have a whole bunch of like people like
00:21:29.780
on my snap, but after you can only help them for, they can only help you with one thing,
00:21:36.920
but when you really need them, when you're like bawling your eyes out, you need help.
00:21:43.020
I think it's a mistake. Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop. Let her speak. Go ahead.
00:21:47.980
Because you can't figure out if you can trust them. Like I needed a place to stay before I moved to my
00:21:54.360
new place. And I'm all like, okay, you always call me up at three, two in the morning for a
00:21:59.820
booty call. But when I asked to just spend the night and then I'll leave the next morning just
00:22:06.100
to rest my head, you can't help me in that. Wait. So you're saying you're calling people who
00:22:11.260
you've had casual sexual encounters with and you're crying and you don't have any relation,
00:22:17.020
like any actual deeper connection or relationship with them. And the expectation there is that they
00:22:21.600
be your shoulder to cry on more. I needed a place to sleep, but I also, are you, are you homeless?
00:22:28.200
I was, there's a, I was. Okay. Just for a day before I can move into my new place.
00:22:36.500
Always be careful on where you rent rooms from. Um, but that's pretty much, um, all I have to say.
00:22:55.680
You said, you said that there were a couple of people that you would have on your Snapchat.
00:23:02.480
Yes, I have a roster from, I was more of a nerdy girl back in high school where nobody asked me out
00:23:10.460
to where I kind of blossomed when I got old in my twenties and I started like, Hey guys have lists
00:23:21.000
with us, like all the names on who they slept with. Let me count how many and see how high I can get to
00:23:36.340
I'm trying to make it grow. Um, right now it's only like 20, 21 right now, but most of them are repeat people.
00:23:53.600
Okay, a roster is how many people you're fucking at one time. Sorry.
00:23:56.560
Or talking to, talking to at one time. I thought you meant the, I thought you meant the screwing list. Like how many
00:24:02.400
people you fucked. Okay. I have a roster of that. How many people are you talking to all at once?
00:24:17.180
Cause you know, when you're high on Tinder, you swipe right.
00:24:25.660
High on Tinder, just swiping right. You're like, okay, there's nothing going on right
00:24:33.840
Well, I've never had a dating app in my entire life. And that's just like me. Maybe as like
00:24:41.480
a human, I understand that's like super in our culture. And like, obviously in our age
00:24:45.300
group, I genuinely, from my bottom of my heart, don't believe in it. Um, but five to six,
00:24:55.600
that's like, and I get like all these dudes and you were like, Oh, I want to be like that. Why do you want to be like a man? That's crazy. Like, no, that's so bad. Don't do that. Shut up.
00:25:07.320
You got to experiment to know what is right and wrong for you. Eventually some people have to learn in one way.
00:25:13.480
But I will never understand what you want by sleeping with multiple men. You will never know what you want. I promise you. It's not everyone. I promise you as a human being, you will never become connected to one person.
00:25:27.200
Of course not. But you don't learn that until you will not drink.
00:25:30.380
Well, it's not like that bullshit saying you got to, you got to destroy the crowd before you buy it.
00:25:34.800
Yeah. So, okay. Um, you said, but you mentioned something about 20, 21, uh, 21.
00:25:40.800
Hold on. Please like refrain from judgment. I'm not. Okay. Go ahead.
00:25:44.900
21 is about the, the people I have slept with. Oh, the total amount of people.
00:25:52.020
The total amount. I have the ages. I have the name. Okay. Throughout your whole life. That's what you meant by 21.
00:25:58.680
Yes. That's what I meant. But like at one given time, you said four to five, four to five.
00:26:04.500
I four to five. It was four to five because half of them don't message back. I'm like, you know, I don't care.
00:26:11.500
It's like on and off. More on and off. All right, chat. Can we, uh, Nick, pull up chat for me, please.
00:26:19.120
All right, chat. We're getting a lot of reports of there being audio issues. So, uh, I'm hearing that my microphone is too low.
00:26:27.060
There's a ton of fucking issues with the audio. Not me being overweight to be in the Marines.
00:26:32.380
Can you chat? Can you let us know? Don't even read them.
00:26:35.820
I'm sorry. I told her before we came out. I was like, dude, they're in talk so much shit.
00:26:51.240
Hold on. We can hear you. The audio is just super low.
00:26:54.980
Well, they can't hear me because I haven't said anything.
00:27:01.200
There's nothing wrong with the audio. It just sounds different.
00:27:04.240
Um, so when you move your head back, it sounds a little bit echoey because the mic next to you is catching up this, or is catching the sound.
00:27:18.980
We're getting, we're getting, we're getting, I'm getting a bunch of mixed, there are people are seeing echo.
00:27:31.040
Yeah. Yeah. So if you move your head back from the mic and you're talking loudly, you can hear the audio going through the mic next to you.
00:27:41.980
Nick, that, that tab we looked at before scoot it over, please.
00:27:46.600
Remember the, where the, the audio bars. Let me see the audio bars. Scoot it. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
00:27:54.360
All right. Here, just go around on, on relationship status while I get this fixed.
00:28:05.480
Okay. Uh, relatively recently broken up. Um, but also like talking to somebody. Okay. So when you say talking stage, so when you say recently broken up, what are we talking about? Like a day ago, two weeks ago. Okay. Two months ago. Yeah. Yeah. About. Something like that.
00:28:29.660
And how recently did you start talking to this new guy? Uh, it's not a guy, but I've also, yeah. Um, I've known him for a while. Like it was one of my, uh, friend's roommates. So we just, after that whole thing was over, we, so wait, so did you kind of like have him on the back burner just in case?
00:28:53.020
No, not at all. She had her own thing going on and, and I don't know. We just like started hanging out a little bit more since I had more time. Obviously. Okay. Okay. Yeah. Fair enough. Fair enough. And I was living with the guy. So like I came back and was with friends more.
00:29:10.820
Wait, so was your previous, previous relationship a guy?
00:29:31.220
And I was single until about late 2023, early this year.
00:29:38.920
Um, I'm talking to someone. That's why I like, I was trying to have that conversation with her.
00:29:43.400
Um, my longest relationship is eight and a half years.
00:29:51.860
So that eight and a half year relationship, were you married, just dating?
00:30:10.240
Um, so he died in 2019 and I had a very hard time moving on with my life.
00:30:21.940
So, um, so just recently I have sought a lot of therapy.
00:30:27.880
And I don't have like any, like, and like, I don't have, I don't care to talk about it.
00:30:33.320
So, so I have sought a lot of therapy and I will say that it took me a very long time
00:30:37.960
to understand that part of my life and move on from that.
00:30:43.200
So now I literally just started talking to someone and I was like, Hey, gotcha.
00:30:47.700
Well, it's, it's cool that you're finally at a place where you can.
00:30:50.560
And I mean, I've met people obviously within those five years, but it was never anything
00:31:17.620
You know, and like, I mean, I have obviously dated, you can't go five years.
00:31:23.420
I'm, you know, but it was never, I knew that what I was doing was never going to last because
00:31:30.640
I was just in this very manic, sad episode that I needed to figure out on my own.
00:31:44.120
So when we were dating, we never talked about having more kids because he had enough kids.
00:32:08.340
This is a test of the emergency whatever broadcast system.
00:32:12.860
If you're hearing it right now, that means that there are audio issues which are going
00:32:18.860
They have been triggered by AlphaChad Virgin Mason.
00:32:26.060
They're even having side conversations, even though I know for sure that they were told
00:32:30.720
I promise that they were, but still, they do it.
00:33:03.560
To be honest, chat, if she was too overweight, they'll make sure.
00:33:08.680
Well, actually, that's not actually true anymore.
00:33:12.920
They actually have lowered their BMI standards.
00:33:17.960
So they'll actually put her in a program if she is too overweight,
00:33:21.480
where they'll get her to the standards, and then she'll go in.
00:33:25.580
Not that it matters to any of you, but I'm not.
00:33:39.860
I have been single, traditionally single, I guess you could say,
00:33:48.380
Um, and my longest relationship was without being on and off, I'd say two years.
00:34:09.820
I've been single for about a year and a half and longest relationship a little over two years.
00:34:20.440
Um, so, uh, I guess in the eyes of God and the government, I'm single, but, um, uh, I am,
00:34:30.620
I'm not going to give any more information, but, um, yeah.
00:34:37.100
I'm not really like, uh, I don't really believe in like the talking stage.
00:34:42.180
We're talking, but like we've gone on a couple of dates.
00:34:51.500
I think that's such a great question to ask, like on a first date, like a first or second date,
00:34:59.540
She's not totally a fan of the terminology talking stage.
00:35:05.020
Well, if you're not either, that's probably a good thing.
00:35:07.020
We're kind of both really open about, Hey, this is what I'm looking for.
00:35:11.380
I'm looking for marriage, not looking for a casual thing.
00:35:29.980
Uh, I've just like, honestly, like nowadays, like it's not hard to find.
00:35:34.720
Uh, it's not hard to find, uh, girls that say they're Christian, but ones who actually
00:35:40.940
walk their life, well, ones who are walking that narrow path, very, very few, um, many
00:35:47.880
walk the broad path and call themselves Christians, but very few that I've met actually walk that
00:36:00.820
I try my hardest to follow what Christ commands of me and, uh, I ask, they do the same.
00:36:17.800
So you're going to be trying to meet another 28 year old or younger.
00:36:23.040
I'm not saying, but or younger, but in this generation, in this day and age, you're going
00:36:27.780
to try and meet another 28 or younger that's never had sex or never, um, not necessarily.
00:36:36.400
Brian gets really mad when I lower this standard.
00:36:48.340
Preferably when I get married to her, I would very much like her to have sex, but until that
00:36:53.360
point, well, yeah, cause I want, I want to be intimate with my wife.
00:36:57.100
Well, I mean, obviously you have sex, but I mean like.
00:37:01.720
Well, I mean, so the more sexual partners you have before marriage, the less likely you'll
00:37:07.980
So I want somebody that preferably has very few sexual partners.
00:37:13.860
Um, so there's a greater chance of successful marriage, but also it shows me that they take,
00:37:24.460
I agree with you on some of that, but I don't agree with you on some of that because it's
00:37:33.300
And when you decided to go on a date or you decided to date your first boyfriend at 15
00:37:41.180
And if you had like five or six partners, sure.
00:37:44.400
So yes, I mean, don't have 20 or 30, but if you're over here having.
00:37:48.360
So the statistics or seven by the time you're 30.
00:37:52.540
Well, if, if we look at statistical, um, evidence of, so how many partners does it take
00:37:58.520
for you to have a statistically relevant, uh, chance of having your marriage affected?
00:38:05.240
If you have five or more sexual partners, you are 20% less likely to have a successful
00:38:11.420
It doesn't matter if you believe in it or not, but I'm not saying that I understand
00:38:16.760
And I'm not saying that, but I'm saying like, and especially with men, it's always okay
00:38:25.400
So I'm not going to bash on one at a time, one at a time.
00:38:33.280
I'm not saying men, anything, but for right now in the generation that we're living in,
00:38:39.820
the climate we're living in, most men become sexually active very early.
00:38:44.600
So for men having five partners is not a normal thing.
00:38:54.260
So in my statistical, uh, um, speakings, did I ever distinguish between men and women?
00:39:05.020
What are the, whether you feel like they're happy or sad, like it doesn't matter.
00:39:10.540
If the statistics show that after five or more sexual partners, you are 20% less likely
00:39:42.660
Um, so it's five or more partners, but then that, that statistical likelihood of a unsuccessful
00:39:48.720
marriage increases the more sexual partners you have.
00:39:55.660
And as far as dating multiple people at the same time, you're never going to find the
00:39:59.680
one because you always have these people doing different things.
00:40:10.520
Like I don't, I've never, I haven't heard of the, about that affecting like, um, long-term
00:40:18.640
Like, for example, even my, my own folks, they're divorced and neither of them were, you know, promiscuous or had more than a partner.
00:40:34.900
And they're, they didn't have multiple sexual partners or anything like that.
00:40:38.860
Well, I'm not saying there are no exceptions to the rule, but if you want to have the greatest bet possible, if I want the most likely success story, when it comes to my marriage, I want to make sure that they have as little sexual partners as possible.
00:40:53.940
So I don't have all of that emotional relationship baggage so I can possibly have a successful marriage leading into my 80, 90 years of life.
00:41:16.260
Me, um, newly single and, um, also in a talking stage.
00:41:32.700
How long were you single before your talk, current talking stage?
00:42:37.820
We really glossing over her being a marine recruit with a former recruiter on the panel.
00:42:44.600
War is not a joke to some of us with several happening right now and more in the works.
00:42:50.680
I actually have been to Afghanistan, so I'm wondering if you have in the chat there.
00:43:14.560
I'm not fucking on heroin or anything like that.
00:43:17.740
That's what you're trying to get at because that was brought up last time.
00:43:34.740
No, it actually has nothing to do with your eye.
00:43:51.000
I mean, it's kind of like a little bit all over the place.
00:43:58.240
It's just kind of like we're asking you to speak in the mic.
00:44:10.540
It's like your mannerisms are kind of all over the place.
00:44:22.540
Did I ask you that last time if you were on anything?
00:44:25.200
No, but last time we did get on the topic of how I used to have a drug problem.
00:44:29.480
So, I figured that's why you were probably bringing that up.
00:44:32.300
No, that's not why I brought it up at all, but I do recall your demeanor last time.
00:44:40.340
Yeah, your demeanor last time, you were a bit more lucid, I guess.
00:44:57.520
If you weren't like a little bit, maybe you had a little weed or maybe you drank a little bit.
00:45:04.980
Well, only because I figured you were bringing it up because of the topic that we talked about last time.
00:45:09.300
That's the only reason I got somewhat defensive about it.
00:45:14.020
We have, every single week, every month, every year, we have over a thousand guests a year.
00:45:19.920
So, I honestly don't remember shit about anybody.
00:45:26.340
I hear what you speak on the show, and that's the extent of what I remember.
00:45:30.880
And then I try to, I try to like, men in black, erase all the bullshit that I hear from everybody.
00:45:36.720
So, I don't, I actually didn't recall that you were previously a drug addict.
00:45:40.300
I was just making an assessment based on what I've seen in terms of your conduct thus far.
00:45:47.480
Because I actually do recall you were a bit more lucid on the previous show.
00:45:52.080
So, I was just asking if you had a little bit to drink before.
00:45:54.660
Yeah, and I said I did when I first entered the airport at 7 a.m.
00:46:07.920
What, that's prescription medication for anxiety?
00:46:11.220
People will take it before they come on the show.
00:46:27.720
I said under the eyes of God in the state, I'm single.
00:46:54.580
I feel like that's what him and I were just talking about.
00:46:56.900
Like, how are you going to be a virgin and have sex with a virgin?
00:47:01.000
Well, I'm also not just going to air, like, dirty laundry out or clean laundry.
00:47:10.780
It's like you cannot have sex with a non-virgin.
00:47:23.780
I'm sure if he has a virgin wife that he marries, he's going to feel pretty fucking good about it.
00:47:30.600
I think he's going to feel like, well, it's fucking awesome.
00:47:46.560
Is a guy going to go have an unspoiled woman to marry?
00:47:53.020
Well, no, but like, how do you know what to do?
00:48:04.440
But I'm like, okay, if he's done it before, if she's done it before, then what?
00:48:11.900
Has she done it with, like, a hundred guys before?
00:48:23.660
I mean, yeah, you can, but you've never done it.
00:48:29.820
Now, I know that Mason is an engineer, and by trade, brilliant man, I'm sure it's going
00:48:36.200
to be too complicated for him to figure out where the penis goes.
00:48:41.920
And, like, okay, pretty much any athletic endeavor I've ever tried to, like, I don't
00:48:52.800
So I would probably figure out pretty quickly and pretty successfully.
00:48:58.280
But how does that make you, like, feel knowing that she's been with this many people?
00:49:17.800
Four-horts, 69, you who donated $69 to the fishnet girl.
00:49:23.240
Are you just mad that Mason will never go for a girl like you or anyone in the least?
00:49:29.100
Just because you didn't save yourself for anyone doesn't mean you deserve a king.
00:49:34.000
Um, I genuinely think Mason is probably a very nice man.
00:49:43.540
Um, I'm just trying to understand his mindset, your mindset and like for women and especially
00:49:54.680
in this generation, because I have a hard time finding men that aren't wanting to sleep
00:50:04.540
Well, it sounds like you may be looking for the wrong type of guys because there are guys
00:50:09.680
out there who, okay, so I can use my church as an example.
00:50:14.700
I know, I know I could list five guys off the top of my head.
00:50:18.320
I'm not going to do it because I don't want to dox them online.
00:50:20.940
But, uh, I know five guys off the top of my head who are incredible men.
00:50:30.220
And they're, they're also really godly men, like they're solid guys and girls won't, won't
00:50:36.460
touch them because one, they're usually reserved.
00:50:40.300
They're introverts and girls don't usually like socially awkward dudes, but they would
00:50:47.000
So maybe, maybe people are just kind of looking for the wrong type of person.
00:50:51.460
Maybe, maybe people are generally going after the frat guy who sleeps around with like
00:50:57.580
Typically think about, think about this, this thing that you said, right?
00:51:02.280
I'm used to guys just wanting to hump everything that they see.
00:51:05.600
And you look at Mason, you say, hey, I'm sorry, Mason, you're not my type.
00:51:14.040
Between your type and the type of guy who does that.
00:51:18.740
The big difference is that Jerry Springer starts losing his mind 40 minutes into the show.
00:51:27.580
The one thing, Andrew, I will tell you is it's not that he's not my type because of his
00:51:32.240
moral values, because I share those same values.
00:51:34.620
It's just, I don't physically find him attractive.
00:51:44.120
You know, I'm very confused, though, about this line of inquiry towards Mason.
00:51:50.460
What exactly is it that you're trying to figure out here in plain English without beating around
00:51:57.500
I'm just saying, like, okay, so do, like, what do you want from a girl?
00:52:13.640
He's looking for a chaste Christian woman who's going to be a good wife to him.
00:52:17.560
But find that in this generation, please, because that doesn't exist anymore.
00:52:45.840
I'm not saying you're offended, but a lot of people will get offended by this line of
00:52:50.860
questioning, because it immediately eliminates most of the female population, because most
00:52:56.920
of the female population has been sleeping around, whereas a good guy, generally good
00:53:01.780
guys, are going to look for women who have not been whoring themselves out to every Tom,
00:53:09.560
I wouldn't look for the same thing in partners.
00:53:10.540
But I don't think so, because I, regardless of the way that I dress or the way that I look,
00:53:16.380
I can count on one hand the people that I've been with in my entire career.
00:53:18.980
Can you get a little closer to the mic, please?
00:53:20.100
I can count on one hand the people that I've been with in my entire life.
00:53:26.400
I am not, like, I'm not sleeping around by any means.
00:53:29.600
And I'm not trying to look down on that, but I'm trying to understand, as a man in this
00:53:35.460
culture, trying to find a wife, a girlfriend, or someone to be a companion with, how do you
00:53:41.500
Because people, even people that I know, people that I work with, people that I see, women
00:53:51.040
I can tell you how you go about doing this, so that you understand.
00:53:58.600
And step two, you fly to fuck to a different country, where chicks aren't fucking lunatics
00:54:08.560
Like, that's, that's what you do if you want to find one of those chicks, because you're
00:54:12.460
right, they are rare here, but not everybody shares the feminist, lunatic values of modern
00:54:18.420
But I don't, exactly, and I don't, but, I shouldn't really say that.
00:54:23.520
I almost said something I probably don't want to get into discussion.
00:54:51.060
You need an eight-figure salary earning woman to pay your bills.
00:55:04.380
No, yeah, so, it is, yeah, you're right, it's very difficult.
00:55:08.220
But just because something is difficult doesn't mean I'm going to lower my standards.
00:55:12.920
Yeah, and it's taken a very, very long time for me.
00:55:24.980
I think people at home need to realize that this is an important subject.
00:55:29.360
Who you spend the rest of your life with is extremely important.
00:55:33.120
Which is the reason why I do not lower standards.
00:55:37.900
And their values they bring to your home, your family, your kids, and things like that.
00:55:41.400
And when you do lower your standards, terrible things happen.
00:56:09.660
And I wasn't, like I said, I wasn't speaking down.
00:56:41.600
You have no business running around doing that.
00:56:48.980
Do you mind if I ask a very quick follow-up question?
00:56:57.840
That you think you share the same values as Mason over there.
00:57:02.720
Um, I believe that women should not be sleeping around.
00:57:08.740
I believe that women should hold themselves in a higher standard.
00:57:16.520
Um, but at the same time, I don't believe that.
00:57:23.620
Like, I would never want my children to look like me.
00:57:26.820
I would never want my children to be a bartender.
00:57:30.060
I would never want my children to do any of those things.
00:57:40.360
Um, to be perfectly honest, well, obviously, um, I come from a very hard background and
00:57:48.660
the way my education works, this is where I am financially in a freedom space and I can
00:57:56.300
I just, I say this with the most love and I say this as a fellow, like woman who's been
00:58:02.820
in the military, like, especially if you're going down the path of like going in the Marine
00:58:05.480
Corps, I strongly encourage you, especially if you're advocating for, for your daughters
00:58:10.740
and things like that to dress differently, act the part because you're going to bring
00:58:15.880
We already in the military community, women in the military, we already deal so much like
00:58:21.480
Like me, the fact that I'm in the military, I'm going to get a million comments tearing
00:58:25.720
The way you're dressed right now is going to bring shame on the military female community.
00:58:30.160
You know, what's really, really funny is I didn't want to wear this.
00:58:41.780
This isn't what I wanted, but everybody, oh, you're going on this, do this, do this, dress
00:58:59.520
And that is something that I have to reflect on as a human being.
00:59:05.900
But I'm also very aware that no, would I want my child?
00:59:11.880
No, but I will also tell you, I've heard you say a couple of times now that you come
00:59:16.200
And I just want to like give you, want to pour into you for a moment, pour some love
00:59:28.180
But you keep saying that the reason why I'm making these choices, it's not choices.
00:59:35.860
What I'm, me saying that I come from a hard background.
00:59:43.980
I come from a hard background and I'm not dressed like that.
00:59:46.720
I'm not saying the way that I dress has anything to do with where I came from.
00:59:51.480
That has nothing to do with it because as a conservative woman, I can dress how I want.
01:00:00.740
Conservative women would never dress like that.
01:00:04.620
There's different tiers of all of those opinions.
01:00:08.260
But see, as a conservative woman, I understand where she's coming from because I have no standpoint
01:00:20.620
How do I say this without being mean so I won't do it?
01:00:22.940
So what I'm going to say is I genuinely understand where you're coming from and I see what you're
01:00:33.740
You may not see that in the way that I look right now, but I am very conservative.
01:00:36.740
My moral views and who I am as a woman is very different than my appearance to you.
01:00:46.820
I only said that because I thought that you were saying that.
01:00:50.520
No, no, no, you're not, but I'm, but I'm trying to explain my background has nothing
01:00:56.840
I made the choices my entire life from the time that I was very small until now.
01:01:00.700
I made the choices where I am now, but coming from a hard background, I say that in like
01:01:16.020
No, you guys can each make one final point, but I got to move it on.
01:01:29.440
Nick, I need you to start pulling it, pulling it up.
01:01:39.760
Toby McGuire, famous movie star, A-list celebrity, number one Spider-Man.
01:01:53.720
Scroll down a little bit next so we can see some of the other stories.
01:02:31.040
Any of you object going around the table to the age gap right after this?
01:02:45.260
The military is run by feminists and women in awful roles thinking they know everything.
01:02:58.500
The community I'm trying to get into, I'm trying to go into aspect war.
01:03:06.560
I know that there are aspects of the military that are feminist, pro, whatever.
01:03:12.140
But from the pararescue men I've talked to, actual guys in the career field,
01:03:33.340
not doing anything about it is not the way to go about fixing that problem.
01:03:37.820
I think we need to be in there, especially as conservative men,
01:03:40.920
we need to be involved in those spaces to fix the problems that are internal.
01:03:45.040
And it's not going to happen if we're just going to be like,
01:04:12.140
But this situation does not affect me whatsoever.
01:04:18.840
I can choose what I want to do as a person, but I'm not going to, I don't know.
01:04:22.980
It's like a, it's an interesting story, but I don't see how it affects me.
01:04:28.980
Right, but so, like, for example, probably there's conflicts out in the world that don't affect you personally, but you have thoughts on them regardless.
01:04:37.060
So, I mean, if you had to just give us, you know, your own view.
01:04:41.640
I hope that she's okay and she feels safe and it's not, like, an imbalance of power and that she has thought a lot about it.
01:04:52.280
That being said, I can't make those decisions for her.
01:04:55.720
I feel like you can try to help someone as much as you want, but at the end of the day, you can really only help yourself.
01:05:00.800
Well, for what reasons would you choose to help her?
01:05:02.860
I think I would probably just be, like, hey, are you, like, are you in a consensual, safe relationship?
01:05:11.380
Is, like, ask about the nature of it, see if it's, like, but at the end of the day, it's not my decision.
01:05:20.060
But so you think just simply by virtue of the discrepancy in age that those questions would be warranted?
01:05:27.640
I think it depends on the situation, but yes, I do, just because that is a pretty decent age gap.
01:05:36.400
So you would not feel the need to ask those kinds of questions, for example, if they were, it was, like, a 21 and a 21-year-old dating?
01:05:46.720
You feel like there's a lot of instances where, like, someone can feel unsafe in a relationship, someone can feel like there's a power imbalance, and it's not just to do with age.
01:05:57.640
Um, I don't know, just, like, if someone is acting in a toxic way, if someone is, I know there's certain topics that we can't talk about on this podcast, so I'm going to refrain, but I think there's a lot of instances where there can be power imbalances in a relationship.
01:06:22.380
Um, I would say so, but I don't really want to talk about that more on the podcast, because I know that's one of the topics we're not supposed to discuss.
01:06:30.760
Well, how about I just give you a pass, and you just use the word SA, so that you can tell us what you're talking about.
01:06:38.660
As an ex-PJ, I'll let you know, lose weight, swim a lot, and learn to get beat down.
01:06:45.080
It ain't about the muscles anymore, it's mental.
01:06:52.580
All right, thank you, Beaton Cheeks, appreciate it.
01:07:06.980
Potentially essayed because of the power dynamic, or...?
01:07:12.380
Well, I don't necessarily feel comfortable talking about a topic like that, because it is really sensitive, and it's...
01:07:19.460
I don't feel comfortable talking about that on the internet, so I'm going to refrain from that.
01:07:23.920
But there are power imbalances in a relationship.
01:07:27.220
I've had friends where there is power imbalances, and I know they don't feel safe in their relationship.
01:07:32.520
And I'll check in on them, offer them support, tell them that.
01:07:37.160
If they need someone to talk to, if they need help getting out of the relationship, I'm here for them.
01:07:42.440
But at the end of the day, if you're in a bad situation, the only person who can get you out is yourself.
01:07:48.600
So you said you've had friends who you know who are in relationships where there's a skewed power dynamic.
01:07:55.880
Yes, I think we can all agree as women that we've had friends that have been in toxic relationships.
01:08:01.340
Yeah, but power dynamics is a very specific thing.
01:08:04.340
For example, you could be in a relationship where there is no power dynamic, but it's toxic.
01:08:12.280
Are you conflating power dynamic with just toxic relationship?
01:08:18.000
No, I think I was using toxic as a blanket term, but looking back on it now, I would say that I think it is very common for relationships to have a power imbalance.
01:08:31.360
Okay, so when you say power dynamic, you say it's very common.
01:08:40.280
So even your girlfriends who are in college who are dating other college guys, they're encountering power dynamics.
01:08:50.060
Well, like you were talking about with SA earlier, SA does function on a power imbalance.
01:08:56.080
You're holding physical power over someone else.
01:08:58.260
So these women are getting essayed by their boyfriends?
01:09:09.300
So why did you bring it up in the context of age?
01:09:14.220
Well, so being physically dominant in a relationship between a man and a woman, the man is 99.999% of the time going to be stronger, more powerful, able to dominate their woman.
01:09:28.260
So why did this come into the context of Tobey Maguire being 49 and his girlfriend being 20?
01:09:41.640
But if you asked me what I thought on the situation, I would just want to ensure that his girlfriend was okay and that there wasn't.
01:09:48.160
It wasn't an uncomfortable situation that she felt safe.
01:09:51.100
But why does him being 49 and her being, would you say, 21 have to do with her being okay?
01:10:03.720
I'm just saying that I'm trying to rule out that possibility.
01:10:08.680
Is it, I don't know, is it a G word, the thing you can say?
01:10:14.440
Yeah, that's kind of what I'm, that, what you just referenced is what I'm alluding to.
01:10:19.780
I didn't know if that was an appropriate topic to talk about on here.
01:10:22.440
Well, again, it doesn't really have anything to do with the age.
01:10:28.080
Like, terrible men are going to be terrible men, regardless if they're 12 years old or if they're 50.
01:10:34.100
I don't even think this plays into a power dynamic either.
01:10:37.840
This is like, I mean, that's criminal behavior.
01:10:45.660
And there are normal human beings that, an age difference, they have met somebody and they've found a genuine connection.
01:10:55.320
So, criminalizing, I mean, yeah, I mean, it's obviously they have really nothing in common at that point.
01:11:04.520
But it's really like, it doesn't mean he's like grooming her to be somebody.
01:11:12.120
I can also ask the inverse, is she trying to take advantage of him for his money, influence, fame?
01:11:18.660
Because it's extremely easy for women to take advantage of a man's resources.
01:11:23.240
All they have to do is get some kind of legal precedent to where they can divorce, get half of their stuff, start getting a bunch of their income.
01:11:31.680
And they have to do nothing for the rest of their life.
01:11:33.340
And especially in Tobey Maguire's case, it's a serious possibility.
01:11:37.980
So, I'm hoping, I assume Tobey Maguire's a mature dude.
01:11:43.840
He's 49 years old, seems like a mature guy, knows what he's doing, has identified this girl as someone who's going to be a good partner, loves him for being him, best Spider-Man.
01:11:57.800
It seems like I know nothing about their situation, but I would hope that they're in a good relationship.
01:12:09.340
All right, your reaction to the Tobey Maguire thing?
01:12:12.240
I think most women in their early 20s have no idea left, right, up, down.
01:12:17.660
And Tobey Maguire being 49 is being completely inappropriate, dating a 20-year-old, 21-year-old.
01:12:28.540
He's, you know, understands relationship dynamics, you know, I think that women that young should be dating much closer to their own age.
01:12:37.840
And to your point about, like, resources and things like that, you know, the thing she's probably looking at is status.
01:12:45.420
You know, she's looking at a high-status man with money, with fame, things like that.
01:12:49.360
So, those are the things she's attaching herself to.
01:12:51.320
You know, but in terms of, you know, being a woman of high value, you know, going after those things alone is low-value behavior.
01:12:58.940
And it's his responsibility being the older, more mature person to date within the maturity level that he's at,
01:13:05.760
not a very vulnerable young woman who is definitely going to be taken advantage of in other ways in terms of her body and her time and her energy.
01:13:16.920
And she's going to be, like, falling in love with this guy when the chances of them actually working out are going to be pretty slim to numb.
01:13:38.660
I fully agree that there's some, there's, it's an inappropriate match there, just age-wise.
01:13:43.560
No, no, no, no, but that, I think taking advantage of somebody typically, doesn't that only go one way?
01:13:52.640
Like, but you'd have to evaluate their personalities, their, what their actual intent is and all of that.
01:13:57.180
But I, you know, based on observation, all we got here was a storyline, right?
01:14:05.320
And so I just am saying that based on traditional, like, not traditional, but the majority of relationships out there that are like that, the young girls are going after money, fame, status, et cetera.
01:14:18.280
And then likewise, you know, he's going for the really young, vulnerable, easy, like, docile personality with a lot to, a lot of life to go still.
01:14:35.840
When you're in your early, when you're young, when you're a teenager, when you're in your early 20s, this is both for men and women, you're a sponge.
01:14:42.080
And that's a vulnerable place to be where you're not operating from an educated, experienced position.
01:14:48.480
They're vulnerable in terms of they're easily swayed.
01:14:57.740
So do you think they definitely shouldn't be joining the military at that age?
01:15:03.460
Yeah, I know, but you definitely shouldn't have because you're a sponge and you're easily suggestible.
01:15:08.280
You're just kind of, you're just kind of a fool, right?
01:15:16.120
So when you, when you go into the military, like I did at 17, you're going into a safe, when I'm, when I mean safe, I mean, it's structured.
01:15:22.940
There's laws and rules and regulations in place.
01:15:25.680
Oh, cause there's not laws and rules and regulations in place for, you know, relationships and for marriage, even though there is.
01:15:35.360
Even if you're early, there's still laws in place, even if you're not in the military.
01:15:38.900
I don't know why you're getting so heated, Andrew.
01:15:46.960
I want to know why you think, I want to know why you think it's okay to be, when you say sponge, right?
01:15:53.500
You know, they have so much life left to live, girl.
01:16:09.500
But of course, they should be joining the military because they're easily suggestible.
01:16:14.660
They could be easily influenced in doing things they ordinarily wouldn't do.
01:16:17.500
The SA rate for women in the military is sky high.
01:16:20.320
Seems like, ah, it's a little bit of a contradiction there, right?
01:16:24.020
No, I disagree because they're, one, they're two completely separate topics.
01:16:28.960
The question was, do I think that they're that massive of an age gap is an issue?
01:16:33.220
And my answer, in my opinion, is yes, I think it's an issue.
01:16:36.360
I think, like, 10 years is appropriate as a max.
01:16:39.140
But, like, once you start getting into, like, the 20s, et cetera, I think it's completely
01:16:46.540
Like when you're a commanding officer, for instance, who's probably going to be much older
01:16:56.080
You're suggestible, which means you can't make good decisions because you're a sponge.
01:17:00.580
You're always absorbing the things that are around you.
01:17:02.280
This is your logic, the entailment of your logic.
01:17:11.260
I was in the middle of giving my answer, and you cut me off first.
01:17:22.460
Andrew, I'm not going to take that from you or anybody.
01:17:25.500
I'll get up and leave right now, right this second.
01:17:30.440
Are you going to have a discourse like adults or what?
01:17:31.960
You can't finish talking, and then when I start talking, I cut me off.
01:17:34.300
I just have to come in and pick one of you to finish your things.
01:17:39.800
So anyway, your line of logic would still apply to other situations.
01:17:44.640
If women are easily suggestible, they're just young sponges, they're just absorbing the
01:17:48.600
things around them, you say these are two different situations, as though I'm talking
01:17:54.140
The logical entailment, though, would apply in both.
01:18:03.480
I said young people, both men and women, when they're in their early 20s, are very suggestible,
01:18:14.740
We were not talking about the military, and the difference that I was trying to articulate
01:18:18.800
was that if there's a 20-year-old, sorry, a 20-year age gap between myself, as an example,
01:18:25.240
and a staff sergeant that's in charge of my platoon, his job is to train me, is to educate
01:18:31.340
me, is to lead me, is to build me into being a soldier.
01:18:34.600
That is not the dynamic of the particular male that we're talking about.
01:18:39.820
Toby McGuire's job is not to teach a 20-year-old how to be an adult and a woman and to know
01:18:46.320
her rights and to know her boundaries and her limits and what she likes and doesn't like.
01:18:50.820
That's not a staff sergeant's job, either, to teach you how to be a woman.
01:19:00.740
Staff sergeant's job not to teach you how to be a woman, either.
01:19:04.120
When you're talking about a power imbalance, if you're saying that people are so young and
01:19:07.420
impressionable they can't make the decision of who they date based on an age gap, which
01:19:11.300
is absurd, this logic should still apply to the situations that they can engage in, which
01:19:17.000
For instance, signing a, oh, I don't know, a four-year contract for your life, right, that
01:19:23.300
If you're incapable of determining who you can or can't date, why in the world would I think
01:19:28.180
that you could determine whether or not you signed your life over to the U.S. government?
01:19:35.260
I did not say a staff sergeant was going to teach me how to be a woman.
01:19:38.220
A staff sergeant would be teaching me how to be a soldier, just to clarify.
01:19:41.780
And in terms of the topic of, you know, them joining the military, et cetera, again, we're
01:19:47.140
We're talking about whether I personally, the question was whether I personally find issue
01:19:55.220
I don't think it should be illegal, should the woman be able to decide to do that, or
01:20:01.100
I'm just saying, the question was, do I have an issue with it?
01:20:07.020
What I'm doing, right, and I'm going to use my best HR tone.
01:20:10.140
What I'm doing is I'm taking your applied logic that you apply in this situation and also
01:20:14.780
equally applying it to other situations to see if it's consistent.
01:20:19.900
So, in this analogy, if you have a personal problem with age gap relationships based on
01:20:24.640
the fact that there's power dynamics and that the woman can be super suggestible to this
01:20:28.840
49-year-old who's super powerful and these all-powerfuls are, okay, then this would still
01:20:34.480
apply to the fact that if she made other contracts or other, you know, life choices, why is it
01:20:43.800
You have no problem, but you have a problem in the instance of her picking her partner.
01:20:46.920
Again, these are two completely different scenarios.
01:20:51.620
You can keep saying that like we don't know that.
01:20:55.880
So, I think we should move on because we definitely disagree on this.
01:21:11.680
I'd really like you to answer to this because I don't understand the logic.
01:21:13.120
You can keep going, but you're going to be all by yourself.
01:21:17.680
Yeah, you tell that mean guy who wants the logical consistency.
01:21:24.540
I just think it's two completely different scenarios.
01:21:47.020
We're just not going to answer any questions at all.
01:21:49.320
What we'll do is we'll just take positions that never defend them.
01:22:02.140
We're talking about specifically a person who's dating someone who's far older, and I'm testing the logical consistency of your position.
01:22:07.800
But I don't need you to decide whether my logic about whether I think a 20-year age gap is appropriate or not.
01:22:16.040
I didn't say you needed my approval for having a conversation.
01:22:18.840
It's not a conversation when you're just going to disrespect.
01:22:26.200
Andrew, I'm not going to do this with you this time.
01:22:42.440
I mean, if you don't want to engage, you don't have to engage.
01:22:54.300
I just don't understand why you take a position and then won't defend it.
01:22:59.540
I'm going to tell you why, if you genuinely care to know.
01:23:02.460
Because we're talking about my opinion on whether a 20-year age gap is appropriate or not.
01:23:10.660
And you tried to bring in logic about someone joining the military, which is a completely different, like not even in the same universe topic-wise.
01:23:48.200
So, again, I'll just recap it one more time for you why it's totally different.
01:23:56.620
Why the logic cannot be applied to the same scenario.
01:23:59.640
Because I'm talking about a young girl or boy, it doesn't matter what gender, going into a scenario where they don't even know.
01:24:10.340
They're brand new into being out of high school.
01:24:14.780
For a 49-year-old man or woman to come and pluck one of those two people up, my first question is, why do you have an interest in someone that young?
01:24:34.420
But I'm just saying I personally find that disturbing.
01:24:43.160
Because I think the 49-year-old, like if you guys are just trying to hook up, go for it, have fun, whatever.
01:24:50.260
But I think once you start like in this scenario, because the question going back to what the actual question was, which is do you think, do I think Tobey Maguire and this 21-year-old girl, do you think, do I have, like what's my opinion on that?
01:25:01.180
I'm telling you I have an opinion of that that isn't agreeing with that dynamic because that person is now in the limelight.
01:25:08.320
They're surrounded by an environment where there's a lot of pressure.
01:25:12.520
There's all of these different scenarios that they're going to be faced with.
01:25:17.980
Now they're going to be painted as, you know, dating someone who could be their father, you know, in the news.
01:25:22.980
Like they don't have, like, I mean, I could just keep going.
01:25:26.440
So then the same logic would apply the other way.
01:25:34.820
So I can swear, I can swear that the logic would apply the exact same here.
01:25:40.340
They don't know, as you say, they're left from their right, right?
01:25:44.480
They're offered a bunch of incentives to do X thing, right?
01:25:49.320
Why is it that this woman, in this case, not even a hypothetical woman, why is it that they're incapable of judging whether or not they can date somebody with a significant age gap,
01:25:59.020
but somehow are capable of deciding whether or not, hang on, let me finish, but somehow they're capable of deciding whether or not they could sign a contract for four years of their life,
01:26:08.960
entering into a situation they also have zero experience in.
01:26:13.540
First of all, I did not say, you're adding in things I didn't say, so I did not say they're incapable of deciding whether they want to be in the relationship.
01:26:20.520
I already said, actually, very clearly, more power to them.
01:26:23.560
The question was if I have an opinion on it, and I do.
01:26:28.420
Yeah, but you have an opinion which is informed by a worldview.
01:26:36.520
Okay, you've got to let me finish now, remember?
01:26:40.020
Yeah, if it's an experience, it's your worldview.
01:26:40.960
I'm just clarifying so that you know you're speaking from a worldview, and I'm trying to investigate the worldview.
01:26:45.660
Sure, so I'm speaking from experience because I was once a young 20-year-old girl 15 years ago that was in a situation.
01:26:53.500
You guys can't be doing sidebar conversations when somebody else is talking.
01:26:58.560
That was in a situation with someone significantly older than me, and it was not a good situation for multiple reasons.
01:27:14.120
It was an inappropriate, horrible situation, and it was a very toxic relationship.
01:27:17.900
Now, really quickly to address why I think it's so important that we separate these topics is the military is an educational system.
01:27:27.660
It is guided by instruction and education and purpose and mission and all of these things.
01:27:33.920
It has nothing to do with that person on the romantic level.
01:27:38.760
There's a difference between the military putting you in boots and someone trying to fuck you.
01:27:42.700
Really? Because the last time I checked, the power imbalance which exists inside of the military is such that the SA rates for women are sky high due to this power imbalance,
01:27:52.920
usually from male officers who have a significant age gap.
01:27:56.660
Far more likely to be SA'd in that than you are in an age gap relationship.
01:28:01.800
And since you're drawing, well, how can you disagree?
01:28:08.020
Well, first of all, I want to know where you got the stats because a lot of people throw out stats and they're not even verified stats.
01:28:15.580
Second, I've been through an SA case, et cetera.
01:28:17.560
So I know a lot about SA in the military, and I promise you it's a very small number.
01:28:29.020
The question was whether or not a mom is going to get SA'd in the military.
01:28:32.380
If we're comparing rates of people who get SA'd outside of the military, it's a much higher number.
01:28:38.540
So I want to be really careful that we're not conflating the rates of SA between the military and the civilian community because they're not even close.
01:28:46.920
I was going to clarify it and I'll clarify it right now.
01:28:49.240
We're comparing the rates of SA in an age gap relationship versus the rates of SA if you're inside of the U.S. military as a female.
01:29:04.020
Yes, because they apply to your power imbalance.
01:29:06.360
Your whole argument is about a power imbalance.
01:29:10.080
So if you're a woman who can sign on to a power imbalance in the military and you're actually more likely to be SA'd going into the military than you are to be in an age gap relationship, which is true, then I don't understand the argument of the power imbalance.
01:29:23.980
So, okay, first of all, I don't have an argument.
01:29:29.620
The question was do I agree or disagree with it?
01:29:32.340
I don't need to prove my point to you, and I would really love to move on.
01:29:39.860
So I guess perhaps what Andrew's trying to get at.
01:29:43.560
So your issue with age gap relationship is the potential for harm.
01:29:53.320
To me, like, I think there's a lot of successful relationships with that big of an age gap.
01:30:00.480
Well, then why else would you, I mean, if there's no potential for harm.
01:30:05.760
Why else, I guess, object to it if there's no potential for harm.
01:30:08.740
Your grievance with it seems to be the potential for harm to the woman.
01:30:12.660
No, I just think that I'm more focused on the older person's reasoning for why they're
01:30:23.140
Make a compelling argument for why a man who's 40 ought to date a 30-year-old compared to
01:30:35.300
Make a compelling argument in terms of the benefits then to the man.
01:30:39.780
If your issue isn't so much the harm to the woman, make an argument as to why men ought
01:30:47.960
So one, the woman, like if you, if, if the end goal is that they're looking for successful
01:30:53.180
long-term marriage, relationship, family, kids, whatever, you would prefer to date a
01:30:57.560
35-year-old over a 25-year-old because the 35-year-old has a lot more life experience.
01:31:06.180
But when you say more life experience, more trauma, more baggage, more sexual partners,
01:31:10.820
life experience, you mean, that's not what I said.
01:31:15.740
But I mean, no, you're adding in things I did not say.
01:31:21.140
So I'm talking about life experiences in contrast is in what they want and what they don't want.
01:31:26.600
And I'm talking about jobs, career, where they want to live, who they want to hang out
01:31:31.000
with, um, who they want to associate with their ideology, their religion, their, whether
01:31:36.060
Like there, there's a lot of contrasting moments and I, which by the way, I'm not at
01:31:39.980
all talking about anything to do with relationships.
01:31:42.180
I'm specifically talking about maturity in life.
01:31:45.460
Like, you know, there's a lot of different things that will help shape the woman and
01:31:53.780
Do you think a woman's life experience is high on the totem pole in terms of what men
01:32:00.780
Uh, to be honest, high quality men would care about that.
01:32:08.840
So does that include both positive life experiences and negative life experiences?
01:32:14.460
Um, you know, for some people, I think conversations that I've had with extremely high quality men,
01:32:19.760
I think they would care if you've had some contrast in your life so you can learn and
01:32:24.460
And how did you come to the conclusion that high quality men care about females life experiences?
01:32:30.620
Like what, how did you come to that conclusion?
01:32:34.400
I've had a lot of extremely intelligent conversations with a lot of extremely intelligent men, uh,
01:32:40.960
And they absolutely, if they're appropriate and they have good intent to be married, to
01:32:46.620
have a wife, to have a family, to have children, et cetera, those are the things they care about.
01:32:50.320
A woman's life experiences is, is high on the totem pole.
01:32:54.520
I can tell based on your line of questioning that you're trying to like make a point.
01:33:00.860
No, but I mean, again, I'm asking you, do you think that a woman's life experiences are
01:33:06.860
high on the totem pole in terms of what men find attractive or what they value in a partner?
01:33:12.040
If they, oh, so besides physical attraction, which I think is the baseline, I think physical
01:33:17.960
Is a 25 year old woman more physically attractive at 25 or at 35?
01:33:23.900
If they, if they've had some work done, they're probably a little bit better.
01:33:28.760
Do you think you're more physically attractive now at 34 than you were at 24?
01:33:44.480
But, um, you know, the impact it has on your skin.
01:33:48.700
Well, I mean, we're not, your question was not about me, my, my physical body, but go ahead.
01:33:55.640
I was kind of going through, I always take notes when people are speaking, right?
01:34:00.420
Um, but you did say that you didn't have any problem if they hooked up.
01:34:04.820
You only had a problem if they were in a long-term relationship.
01:34:12.540
And again, guys, this is just my personal opinion.
01:34:14.800
I find it a little icky when there's an older man dating a super young woman.
01:34:29.900
So it's fine if they have casual sex and never talk again?
01:34:32.680
Listen, I said my personal opinion, this is just my personal opinion.
01:34:36.960
If they're just hooking up, that's their right as consenting adults.
01:34:40.080
Where I get concerned is when the older man is trying to like look at this person as like
01:34:47.880
And this poor girl who's like 21 years old has not even experienced any life in any way,
01:34:59.820
But okay, you said the thing, so I got to respond.
01:35:03.280
Just to be clear, less predatory, less bad if the guy fucks her and never talks to
01:35:10.680
You said if they're just hooking up and that's it.
01:35:13.220
But when the guy wants something a bit more serious, that's where you have a bit more of
01:35:17.500
I think that them trying to date long term and like her become a wife at 21 years old
01:35:23.480
to somebody who is double or triple her age is creepy.
01:35:56.340
Okay, but so going back to the question at hand.
01:35:58.520
So you said that you're kind of fine with it if it's just casual, the age gap.
01:36:08.380
I just find it creepy when now you're like at a restaurant and you look next to you and
01:36:12.620
this guy's gray haired and like could be her grandfather and she looks like she just
01:36:22.280
Again, you're okay if they hook up one, two or three times and then that's the extent
01:36:27.160
of it, but you're not okay if the man is desirous of a long term.
01:36:31.280
I'm not okay with that at all on a personal level, but I'm saying it's their business.
01:36:38.320
So isn't it also their business if it's a long term?
01:36:45.740
So you're fine with it or more fine with it if it's short term, but if the guy's desirous
01:36:52.780
I'm saying it's none of my business, but you know, like if they're having sex, they're consenting.
01:36:56.180
Wouldn't that be none of your business if it's a long term?
01:36:59.220
You asked me my opinion on seeing the news of Tobey Maguire dating someone double his
01:37:13.720
You made a statement where you said you don't really care or you don't mind if it's just
01:37:22.620
So then that would seem to imply that you do have an issue then if it's more long term,
01:37:28.520
if the older man's desirous of having a long term relationship with her.
01:37:32.480
Whereas if he's just like, eh, sees her at the club, wants to fuck, then that's kind of,
01:37:40.100
But where it gets weird for me is like, and this is for all young men and women, they're
01:37:43.880
going to go through a few bodies as they're exploiting a lot of people in general, right?
01:37:48.840
Some people don't, but like, I think that that's normal.
01:37:55.420
It's more, more, more life experience means more body count.
01:37:58.260
But if you're asking me specifically in that scenario, but I'm just saying, I don't think
01:38:01.800
that that guy should be like getting married to someone who's triple younger than him.
01:38:06.580
What if they did for five years and now she's, she's 20.
01:38:17.360
But you, you said another thing and now I'm trying to get to the bottom of the thing that you
01:38:32.980
I understand you're trying to give your opinion.
01:38:34.180
You keep saying, I'm giving my opinion, but opinions are based on some sort of logical
01:38:38.820
Now, all we're trying to, all Brian and Andrew are trying to do is try to figure out what
01:38:46.420
Because if there is no logical reasoning behind it, maybe your opinion should change.
01:38:57.740
You don't like it when I engage in your opinion?
01:39:11.580
If I want to talk about this for the next five hours, we're going to talk about it for
01:39:17.980
Now, I'm not inclined to talk about it for the next five hours, but if you wanted to
01:39:22.480
move on, instead of kind of attempting to obfuscate and derail, you could just like.
01:39:31.900
No, you just kind of say, I already answered the question.
01:39:35.340
Okay, Brian, you've been in a bad mood since everybody showed up.
01:39:38.860
Yeah, and you're taking it out on me right now.
01:39:42.320
I would engage with you just like this, regardless.
01:39:45.840
If I had the most smooth pre-show, I would have engaged with you just like this, regardless.
01:39:59.940
I'll ask one final question, then I will move it on.
01:40:02.380
So just as a point of clarification, can you answer?
01:40:05.400
You said you don't object if it's older man, younger woman, and they're just hooking up.
01:40:10.660
But you do object, older man, younger woman, serious long-term monogamous relationship.
01:40:17.560
I would look at that older man, and I would wonder what is going on with his mental health
01:40:23.140
that he needs to date someone who is young enough to be his daughter.
01:40:25.700
So he's mentally, now older men are mentally ill for being attracted to young adult women?
01:40:32.360
You think it's a mental illness for men to be attracted to, like, a stacked 21-year-old?
01:40:36.920
Like, giant fucking titties, big fucking asses?
01:40:43.160
It's only a mental illness if they want to date him.
01:41:11.960
So, just to be clear, your position is men are mentally ill for desiring young adult women.
01:41:21.840
It's like, yeah, why would you want to date your daughter?
01:41:35.560
You were like, it raises mental health concerns.
01:41:38.880
And you're using the term mental health illness.
01:41:45.920
Okay, so articulate what she's trying to say when she says it's a mental health thing.
01:41:54.580
Okay, so what mental health concern is there for a man to be attracted to a 21-year-old adult
01:42:09.440
So you're trying to differentiate between mental health and mental illness?
01:42:12.160
I was wondering if you were using the same terminology for mental health and mental illness.
01:42:18.060
It was like, first of all, it was an off-the-cuff comment, so it's not that serious, number one.
01:42:23.900
But number two, I said I would be concerned about their mental health.
01:42:31.740
And hear me out for a second before you jump in.
01:42:34.220
There's a lot of men out there who are dating women, sometimes younger or the same age as
01:42:42.640
And because that's where the daughter comment came in because you said, well, it's not his
01:42:52.140
I would never, five years from now, when he's 20, I would never do a 20-year-old.
01:42:59.420
So you're saying that any characteristic which a child possesses, you must not then date a
01:43:11.080
person who possesses the characteristic of your child.
01:43:16.640
If the skin color of your child is white, how dare you date somebody who's the same
01:43:25.480
Yes, I know that's not what you said, but do you understand how I'm trying to make a
01:43:31.060
You're saying that if there's a trait that your child possesses, it then becomes weird
01:43:37.940
and creepy if you date somebody who possesses the same trait.
01:43:41.960
So for example, if your child has blue eyes, you are then a predator for dating somebody
01:43:48.380
Dude, do you really think that's what I'm saying?
01:43:50.760
Do you genuinely think that I'm saying that that's what you said?
01:43:53.920
You literally just said that in your logic, any type of characteristic that that person
01:44:02.360
Okay, but are you saying that I said, are you saying that I said that you said it verbatim?
01:44:09.060
Of course, I know you didn't say what I just said.
01:44:11.960
But you're basically elaborating on something and taking it down a road.
01:44:15.280
I didn't even, that wasn't even a spot in my mind.
01:44:25.340
So like, I look at you being 21 years old as, oh my God, let me take you under my wing.
01:44:36.160
That's what you do to the generation below you.
01:44:39.760
Do you think, do you think a 30 year old man is mentally ill if they found her physically
01:44:45.700
There's a 10, less than 10 year age difference.
01:44:49.380
If they found her physically attractive, there's a less than 10 years age difference.
01:44:55.440
Like, dude, what are you doing with a 21 year old?
01:44:57.500
I want to go back to your comment about young people being sponges.
01:45:06.480
So should, so should, so then people, yeah, it's been debunked.
01:45:13.740
Should you be, should you be able to vote at that age?
01:45:24.440
I think that given our current political system and how one vote, I think that's a hard
01:45:38.020
So with your vote, you could elect a representative, a president, congressman, represent, whatever
01:45:45.600
it is, who could send us to war, which could lead to a nuclear holocaust.
01:45:53.200
Do you think that that's a bigger issue than being able to have a romantic sexual relationship
01:46:00.480
with a man who's 20 years old, 10, 20 years older than you?
01:46:04.720
I think that's a very interesting comparison to draw between those two nations.
01:46:09.220
But with your vote, with your vote, you can, you can, okay, with your vote, you can empower
01:46:15.020
a representative who could send us to war, who could, that could result in conceivably
01:46:21.520
the, uh, some sort of, uh, catastrophic scenario where the, there's nuclear war.
01:46:27.460
Do you think my vote individually would have that much of an impact?
01:46:32.560
The election sometimes can come down to just two or 3,000 votes.
01:46:36.300
Sometimes they can come down to just 20,000 votes.
01:46:39.180
Yes, definitely your vote matters a great deal.
01:46:42.840
So what Brian's ultimate point here is, is if your prefrontal cortex is not developed until
01:46:47.880
you're 25 and you can't make rational decisions on who you will end up with, only a person with
01:46:53.880
a prefrontal cortex, which is fully developed, can.
01:46:56.200
Then why would we give you the rights to do drive, vote, participate in, in signing contracts
01:47:03.700
You're basically saying that you're not, you don't have the cognitive ability to make
01:47:08.960
the decision to date older men, but you have the cognitive ability to run the nation.
01:47:14.380
And that's where the comparison is where you're like, what?
01:47:17.480
Well, it's not even, it's not even make the cognitive decision to date older men.
01:47:21.240
It's making the cognitive decision to make any wise dating decisions whatsoever.
01:47:27.540
So should, should people before the age of 25 be dating at all?
01:47:33.960
Because they can't make logical decisions until they turn 25.
01:47:38.100
You asked me my opinion on what I thought about 21 year old, but now we're down like voting,
01:47:43.460
The topic shifted off of you because she brought up the prefrontal cortex argument.
01:47:51.440
This is a very common feminist argument happens often.
01:47:58.600
If we can agree on the entailments of what that means.
01:48:00.960
It's like, if you're saying that a person's pre a woman's prefrontal cortex is not fully
01:48:06.460
And because of that, she's not making good rational decisions about who she can or can't
01:48:11.900
date, then why would we let her make rational decisions about other things?
01:48:15.480
I just, yeah, she probably doesn't, like young people don't even understand what it means.
01:48:24.500
I'm talking about the woman, the girl in this scenario.
01:48:33.340
Um, I think that is an interesting question to pose.
01:48:37.320
I think that it also does come to the fact that I pay taxes currently.
01:48:48.280
And I do think that under a democracy, I do think that my vote, I do think I kind of,
01:48:54.740
even if my prefrontal cortex hasn't developed fully.
01:49:07.100
So that would mean that by the entailment of that, 15 and 16 year olds should be able
01:49:17.280
I said, I really just think we should all just go back to the original question.
01:49:23.180
I know that the attention is not 100% focused on you right this second, but we're having
01:49:26.900
a conversation with somebody else because I'm curious about the worldview here as well.
01:49:31.280
If you say, oh, I pay taxes, so I should be able to vote.
01:49:35.960
But then that would apply to all taxpayers, which would include 14, 15, 16 year olds have
01:50:06.740
I personally don't think that I would be able to give an answer on that right now.
01:50:10.800
I think that I'd have to think about it longer.
01:50:12.240
And I think that we shouldn't go on to the next person and keep discussing.
01:50:16.060
I was simply just trying to add on that I agreed with one of your earlier points, and
01:50:23.400
I was only trying to do that, and that has led us down a million gajillion rabbit holes.
01:50:27.500
And I think that we should continue moving around.
01:50:39.120
And you guys, like, vultures, are like, hold on.
01:50:42.080
Let's talk about the military and voting and all these other things.
01:50:55.360
You've just been asking questions one of the time.
01:51:00.800
Oh, you mean when I was in a room where I was outnumbered nine to one?
01:51:04.880
Did I traumatize you in a room where I was outnumbered nine to one?
01:51:12.060
Did that show you outnumbered nine to one and I was the vulture?
01:51:23.740
And the host stayed silent for the entirety of the show, except Sartain and moved it on.
01:51:43.780
So I don't know how we were the vultures, but okay.
01:51:50.280
Well, I do want to get the other panelists in on this.
01:52:10.200
I believe it's anybody's opinion against their own because I have been and I have known people
01:52:18.300
in age gap relationships or casualties to where I'm like, I know one couple that is still
01:52:31.500
And they've been together for, I think it's 20.
01:52:58.880
I have been to their place to where I'm like, they pretty much act like an old married couple.
01:53:14.460
So the old lady basically called all men mentally ill.
01:53:20.420
Now all your potential partners are mentally ill.
01:53:25.200
It's actually true because most men are attracted to young adult women.
01:53:35.460
First of all, I did not say that if they're attracted to younger women is a problem.
01:53:41.160
I said if they're pursuing someone the same age as their daughter, that's weird.
01:53:49.060
Let's say there's a 50-year-old man with a daughter and a 50-year-old man without a daughter.
01:54:03.200
A 50-year-old man without a daughter and a 50-year-old man with a daughter.
01:54:22.480
And going back to the mentally ill thing, I don't need you to agree with me.
01:54:27.720
Okay, so it's a mental illness though for men to be attracted to like a 21-year-old.
01:54:42.520
My last follow-up, would you ever accept for me the argument that I do not condone LGBTQ because I find it to be gross?
01:54:58.560
If I wanted to vote to legislate it or things like that, then would you oppose it?
01:55:03.740
Then would I have to have justifications for it?
01:55:11.360
If you have a problem with it or not, I have a problem with it.
01:55:12.860
So what if somebody said that they didn't like other races because they find it icky?
01:55:16.920
Would you say anything about their opinion then?
01:55:23.680
So you have no opinions about anybody else's opinions even if you disagree with them?
01:55:27.680
I didn't say I had an issue with them being attracted to younger women.
01:55:30.520
I said I have an issue with them pursuing the younger women.
01:55:37.980
But if the argument is just it gives you the ick, then I don't know.
01:55:42.200
Couldn't I use that argument for basically any form of discrimination I could ever think of?
01:55:47.480
And would you have anything to say about that or would you just be like, oh, that's fine.
01:55:51.380
Well, I didn't come to argue, first and foremost.
01:55:55.680
You didn't come on to an adversarial dating show to argue?
01:55:57.580
I did not come to argue, so that's why I'm saying we should.
01:56:10.220
When you guys are laughing, rolling your eyes, like making statements and comments that basically try to invalidate my opinion and things like that.
01:56:20.100
Yes, it's okay for me to make arguments that invalidate your opinion if I disagree with it, one.
01:56:24.720
And two, do you think that we have a monopoly on eye-rolling in this conversation?
01:56:32.320
If you're having just like a regular conversation, there's a respect level where you're exchanging ideas, but that's not what's happening here.
01:56:39.980
It's like three, four people at a time jumping in to like basically invalidate that person's opinion.
01:56:48.960
Like, for instance, if you were a racist who just said, I don't like X race because I find it icky.
01:56:54.220
What would be wrong with four of us jumping in and going back and forth with that person one at a time in order to invalidate a bad opinion?
01:57:08.260
They're different topics, but the logic is the same.
01:57:24.340
I think it's to each their own as long as they're consenting adults.
01:57:29.420
So no issues with Tobey Maguire, 49, dating 20-year-old Lily?
01:57:37.320
I don't think that's weird or anything like that.
01:57:45.300
Wait, can you just scoot your mic to the edge of the table?
01:58:00.280
Women tend to mature quicker than men, anyways.
01:58:32.100
That's where you're, like, being disrespectful.
01:58:39.660
I didn't say anything about those prefrontal, but...
01:58:48.820
I think there are other reasons besides mental illness that a man would be interested in
01:58:55.120
My roommate and I discuss this topic regularly, where we don't want to date someone who's
01:59:06.140
Because, one, they all have all of this extra life baggage.
01:59:13.160
What took you so long in your life to be like, okay, now I'm going to start considering marriage
01:59:19.220
Two, I'm wondering, am I going to be able to actually have a family with you?
01:59:32.640
I don't want to spend the first five to ten years of my marriage deprogramming all of that
01:59:38.800
emotional baggage, all of that trauma, all of that, whatever word you want to use, whatever
01:59:43.840
buzzword, I don't want to have to spend all that time doing that at the same time as trying
01:59:49.960
to raise a family, maybe having your emotional trauma baggage poured into the kids, into those
01:59:58.640
So I understand why a man, any age, whether that's 49, whether that's 20, would want to
02:00:07.380
And there are other reasons besides mental illness that they would want to do so.
02:00:15.020
Do you want to walk back the mental illness thing, or you're pretty confident?
02:00:18.540
I said that I'd be wondering what's going on with them mentally, that they would be attracted
02:00:28.960
Because before you said dated, but you just said if they're attracted.
02:00:33.440
So just by virtue of being attracted to a 21-year-old woman.
02:00:37.380
Listen, I'll go in a little bit further here, okay?
02:00:40.440
When I have conversations with people that are 20 years younger than me, or let's say,
02:00:54.100
They're not experienced in any way, shape, or form.
02:00:59.180
Their eyes wide open, deer in the headlight, right?
02:01:01.480
To me, if a man is 20 years older, and by the way, somebody said in here that chat right there,
02:01:11.840
And if you're going to consider like, one, being with them, having a relationship with
02:01:16.120
them, settling down with them, et cetera, like, you're preying on them.
02:01:20.500
It's like, they're not even on the same level as you.
02:01:23.980
Like, what do you have in common with someone 20 years your junior?
02:01:26.820
They probably can't even name a pop artist from your generation.
02:01:35.100
Okay, what in general do men and women have in common to begin with that would be sufficient
02:01:43.920
enough to just on the basis of having a commonality would be like, I'm wanting to date this person
02:01:58.100
Brian, have you ever known a guy who you had the most in common with, but you didn't
02:02:06.400
I mean, I have friends that I have a lot in common with that we didn't date because
02:02:13.580
It's clear then that having commonalities is not high up in the totem pole of what matters.
02:02:22.480
I don't give a fuck what kind of music a girl listens to.
02:02:26.840
And if she's dating me long enough, she's going to like my shit.
02:02:30.680
That's so weird that you would suggest that she would have to like your shit.
02:02:58.280
I think having things in common, if all you care about is your sexual attraction, period,
02:03:05.360
But just to clarify, I think liking the same music is far more superficial than what you're
02:03:10.300
trying to suggest here by there's a sexual component.
02:03:17.260
It's just one example of having something in common.
02:03:19.280
Okay, what are some things in common that would warrant me to date somebody?
02:03:22.660
I think you should have a lot of things in common.
02:03:24.380
I think you should enjoy doing the same things, going to the same places, hanging out with
02:03:28.820
I would say the only thing really is like morals, maybe.
02:03:34.420
I'm not disagreeing or agreeing with either, but I'm saying as far as agreements, the only
02:03:41.400
thing I could see that would make sense to me personally would be maybe morals, religious,
02:03:47.940
if you're a religious person, maybe religion-based.
02:03:50.520
But there's nothing, having good morals and having a...
02:03:57.200
Having good morals and having a religious worldview, you could be 21.
02:04:09.340
I'm just saying that's the only thing as far as if you want...
02:04:12.900
I'm just saying as far as being agreeable or having things in common, that's the only
02:04:17.700
thing I could see as far as being justifiable of wanting to have those things agreeable,
02:04:24.620
being in the same things in alignment as far as morals and religion.
02:04:30.080
But I'm not saying you have to be the same age.
02:04:32.060
No, yeah, I'm not saying that it has to be an age thing.
02:04:33.820
Make an argument for the commonality component here.
02:04:36.500
But don't you want to date people that they're going to teach you something?
02:04:52.000
So you like that kind of music because that's what she brought up.
02:05:04.700
I think it's more of just being in agreeance with sharing.
02:05:12.140
Like, some people have something, and then the other person completes that, and that turns
02:05:18.240
Wait, so just to be clear, so commonality, that's super important?
02:05:25.480
You think for either men or women, people are looking at, like, oh,
02:05:31.160
If that were the case, you would be, if commonality was really up there, wouldn't
02:05:37.640
So, first of all, when you ask me these questions, like, the whole, like, smug, like, I know
02:05:44.140
better, I know, like, I already disagree with you, but you're asking just to make it.
02:05:49.040
How do I even want to go to a Taylor Swift culture?
02:05:52.000
I'm going to finish something just really, really quick.
02:05:54.460
Having a conversation, if that's what we're doing, we're having a conversation, let's have
02:05:57.300
a conversation to be open to other people's ideas and opinions and views and walks of
02:06:06.240
We can, we can have a, like, a volley of conversation, but, like, the whole, where
02:06:10.880
I have an issue with these, these types of conversations is when you already are getting
02:06:19.560
But it's, like, you're not even, like, open for the conversation.
02:06:26.380
So, so I'm going to, so I'll tell you, I'm totally open to having my mind changed.
02:06:35.340
I try to get rid of as much cognitive dissonance in myself as I possibly can.
02:06:45.400
But the thing is, are you willing to have your mind changed?
02:06:48.320
I would be open to it for sure, but where I'm specifically referencing...
02:06:55.240
I just wanted a quick yes or note of that, and the reason, here's why.
02:06:59.220
If you're open to having your mind changed, and we're having this conversation, how in
02:07:03.940
the world could I change your mind without showing you if we, if we apply this kind of
02:07:08.920
thinking or the rigidity and thinking of I got the ick, and then take it to its logical
02:07:14.820
conclusion, and you see that the position itself is absurd, how else can I get you to change
02:07:23.940
So I think it's really difficult for you to completely change the topic in the sake
02:07:30.480
You should just stay on the actual topic and maybe ask onion layer peeling questions about
02:07:36.340
So then you would understand where I'm coming from, and you could even have an intelligent
02:07:39.680
conversation in where maybe there's holes in my logic on that topic.
02:07:43.040
So let's, great, then let's start with how did you come to the position, the position
02:07:56.160
I will answer that in one second, but I want to finish what I was saying to Brian.
02:07:58.360
Like, see, like rolling your eyes, shaking your head.
02:08:09.020
A meta conversation was where you're just ice layering on top of each other, where you're
02:08:15.320
A meta conversation is a conversation about the conversation.
02:08:22.040
So what I want to, what I want to, like, I think it's really important to address.
02:08:25.240
We all drove here and came here for your show, right?
02:08:32.600
But if we're going to have a conversation, we can have a conversation.
02:08:35.800
But when you're being disrespectful, that's not a conversation.
02:08:39.160
Well, see, when it comes to the eye rolling, see, perhaps you might view it as disrespectful.
02:08:44.800
But for example, if somebody were to say, Brian, I want to argue with you about the fact
02:08:55.820
Okay, if somebody says something ridiculous, so ridiculous that it warrants an eye roll,
02:09:06.940
If somebody is going to say, Brian, the sky is not blue.
02:09:09.980
I don't even know how to have that conversation.
02:09:14.980
And some of the eye roll comes from you saying, I mean, I actually find it quite almost despicable
02:09:22.220
You said men prey, men are predators, men are mentally, you would question their mental
02:09:29.180
I mean, that's very objectionable language because you're essentially painting almost
02:09:34.400
most or all men as having a pathology, which I object to.
02:09:41.440
And when it comes to this commonality thing, I just find that absurd.
02:09:46.740
Because it's just ridiculous if you genuinely think that commonality is high on the totem
02:09:56.260
You disagree that in terms of my assessment of what you've said, you've pathologized all
02:10:05.640
I said if there's a 20 plus year age gap, let's be clear.
02:10:10.220
Yes, that's the context of which I'm addressing this.
02:10:18.640
So, but you also said it about even men who find them attractive.
02:10:55.720
Like that's why I come on these shows because I enjoy hearing your opinions.
02:10:59.440
The reason that I enjoy hearing your opinions is because often, and I've had to change my mind multiple times about different positions that I've had.
02:11:07.400
Especially after starting whatever, because I didn't know very much about modern dating.
02:11:12.360
I didn't know very much about how this stuff went at all.
02:11:14.800
And I've been forced to change my opinions many times because I was suffering from cognitive dissonance.
02:11:20.320
There was many things which I had a completely skewed view on that I no longer do after engaging in these panels.
02:11:29.560
But I think you've got to listen to ours as well.
02:11:33.480
So my olive branch here is like, look, we've engaged before, right?
02:11:37.540
And you know that if you give me your opinion, you're genuine, I am going to deconstruct it a bit.
02:11:44.020
But we don't even have to be disrespectful about it.
02:11:46.120
We just go through the opinion and figure this thing out.
02:11:48.860
I agree with everything that you just said when it's done respectfully.
02:11:51.880
But when it's like it's so clear, like we're not even having a conversation because you're closed off.
02:12:00.400
Well, what's happening right now, what I perceive is happening right now is you're unwilling to engage with the argument because you're feeling offended by the tone.
02:12:11.320
Whereas you could be generous to the other person.
02:12:13.940
Maybe you could even say, Brian's a little immature in his delivery.
02:12:18.200
But if you're a mature adult willing to engage with the actual argument that's being posed, I can put away the immaturity.
02:12:26.820
I've had plenty of people on panels before really disrespect me and how they say things.
02:12:32.660
But I still genuinely engage with the argument that's being presented to me regardless of how they say it.
02:12:39.700
And I think you should be able to do that as a mature adult.
02:12:43.200
Now, I'm giving this as like a critique to your argumentation style.
02:12:48.600
So, instead of attacking somebody because of the way they say things.
02:13:01.020
I think women have a hard time sometimes admitting that they're wrong.
02:13:07.500
Because I use the word attack, you're unwilling to engage with what I'm saying right now.
02:13:15.760
So, if I say attack, maybe you can translate in your mind to say, okay, maybe he's making an argument or we're having a spirited discussion.
02:13:25.360
Maybe I'm not going to judge him based on the tone or the words he says.
02:13:29.800
Maybe I want to interpret the meaning he's trying to get across with saying what he's saying.
02:13:37.280
It's a really immature way to go about having a discussion with somebody.
02:13:40.880
Judging them based upon the verbiage, the language, and the tone of what they're using.
02:13:53.880
I do genuinely want to know how he came to this opinion.
02:13:56.280
Well, one, I'm a woman who was once in her early 20s and I did engage with, I want to be clear, I'm not saying sexually, but I did have conversations.
02:14:10.040
I did work in environments, et cetera, where there was a lot of men that were acting predatorily because I was so young, impressionable, and easy to coerce to do different things, go different places, et cetera.
02:14:22.140
I've had a lot of negative experiences with men that are much older than me.
02:14:25.740
And if now that I'm older, my number one piece of advice to younger women is try to just keep it around the same age as you.
02:14:32.580
Like, I don't think, you know, 20 years, 30 years older than you is appropriate.
02:14:37.260
That's just my personal opinion from my personal experiences.
02:14:44.640
So, I mean, so you mentioned that you dated men who were older and they were bad experiences.
02:14:53.860
But I also hear from women, for example, who date men their own age and have also bad experiences.
02:15:01.320
So it's not clear to me that it really matters.
02:15:05.140
If you're trying to avoid bad experiences, I don't see really what age has to do with it.
02:15:11.660
A guy the same age as you can be just as or more abusive and controlling as an older guy.
02:15:19.760
I just, again, my personal opinion based on my personal lived experiences is that there should be a smaller age gap.
02:15:28.380
When you're guiding women, because you said this was your number one piece of advice for younger women, and I didn't get that wrong.
02:15:37.980
You did say that's your number one piece of advice.
02:15:48.620
I also, you know, I take into account, you know, who that girl is, their experience, like, you know, a lot of different factors.
02:15:56.420
But in general, young women who are in their early 20s, fresh out of high school, you know, maybe newly going into college.
02:16:05.880
When you graduate when you're 18, fresh out of high school is two years ago.
02:16:16.060
I mean, let's say within five years, it's fresh.
02:16:18.620
We'll just say that for the kind of like the sake of however it is that you feel.
02:16:24.300
So when I talk to different men, I don't actually give advice, right?
02:16:30.100
I make sure not to because if I'm not intricately familiar with a person's personal situation, I feel like I could actually make it worse if I gave them bad advice.
02:16:38.860
So I tend to stay away from advice giving at all.
02:16:41.380
But one thing I do tell people, and this is the one thing I'll tell anybody who listens, is there is a proper way to think.
02:16:50.180
There's a proper way to think and there's an improper way to think.
02:16:53.400
And so when I listen to you kind of go through this, what I'm looking for is how is she thinking about this?
02:17:05.180
Because most people come to improper conclusions because they have not been taught to properly think.
02:17:11.340
So if we start with an anecdote of you have bad experience with X, that really doesn't mean shit ultimately, right?
02:17:19.100
It would actually be improper thinking to say, because I had negative experiences in field X, that therefore other people are going to have negative experiences.
02:17:28.040
You would want to look at kind of the whole in order to make a good conclusion before you were to give somebody advice, right?
02:17:37.040
I don't really think it's that deep, though, Andrew.
02:17:45.340
I'm just more referring to, you know, when I do have younger women approaching me and talking to me about their male situations, you know, I will go off of what they've shared and I will encourage them to date within their own age range.
02:18:01.560
But I mean, that has vast implications for a person's life, right?
02:18:08.460
Giving a person advice about who they should or shouldn't date has massive implications for the outcomes of their life.
02:18:16.080
Well, when I'm asked for my advice, I am sometimes will give it.
02:18:21.980
There's plenty of people who give advice, you know, when they're asked in this type of thing.
02:18:27.420
But don't you think that if you're a person who does give advice, that you should be coming to proper conclusions before you give it out?
02:18:38.020
So when we're thinking about this, the reason that I'm gauging what you're saying and the reason I'm diving into what you're saying and the reason I want to change your mind about what it is that you're saying is because I think you're coming to an improper conclusion based on bad thinking.
02:18:55.720
And so that's why I want the opinion and why it is that you think this.
02:18:59.600
And if all you can say is it's justified via ick, there's no way in the world because you could justify anything with ick, right?
02:19:07.520
You could justify any discriminatory behavior with ick.
02:19:16.880
So that would be improper thinking, wouldn't it?
02:19:27.340
My question is, so when I sit there and I look at men my age, where I'm from, most of them can't tell their left-ass cheek from the right.
02:19:35.140
So when I sit there and I say I look at men 30-plus years old because they know what they want.
02:19:51.620
Men in their 20s, men in their 30s, they don't know what they want typically.
02:19:58.240
So I don't necessarily agree with your point of they should be closer together.
02:20:03.900
Like I said, women tend to mature significantly quicker than men.
02:20:08.120
I know a lot of women in their 20s who are ready to settle down, but the men aren't.
02:20:20.520
So a woman dates a man who's, say she's 21, dates a 35-year-old.
02:20:26.060
Do you, just really quick, do you object to that age gap?
02:20:28.500
It's getting a little out there, but it's not as bad as 40.
02:20:35.580
He wants a monogamous relationship, doesn't cheat on her, wants long-term.
02:20:40.420
Or would you prefer to see that woman, say, in the period over the course of two years,
02:20:47.320
get kind of strung along by like, fuck boys her age?
02:20:55.740
I think if the guy is like genuinely a good guy and actually interested in her,
02:21:00.100
like for more than just her physical looks and her appearance
02:21:03.060
and the fact that she can pop out 20 babies, like there's actually like care for her.
02:21:06.840
Then I think that a 35-year-old, 21-year-old, it's pushing it for my personal opinion.
02:21:12.100
But I think that that, to your point, would be a better scenario than her.
02:21:20.140
I just, again, I just wonder why, like out of all.
02:21:24.620
No, but okay, so the question is, in this scenario, he's a good guy, monogamous,
02:21:32.280
But would you rather see her in the situation with the older man
02:21:36.380
who wants to have a long-term monogamous relationship with her,
02:21:41.220
or for her to just be honed around and sleep with 20 frat boys her age?
02:21:51.460
I mean, I prefer them both to be settled and happy.
02:22:13.280
I would prefer to see them both like settled and happy.
02:22:24.600
Well, because it's really common in these particular red pill settings that like,
02:22:40.860
Well, I mean, probably shouldn't play with props.
02:22:53.760
Well, I would, but I'm a little distracted by you calling me fucking retarded.
02:22:56.700
Yeah, I mean, here's the tone policing again, so.
02:23:14.280
I'm not doing you, Andrew, but I'm not going to be all fucking retarded.
02:23:32.380
Yo, Desmond, you can't be on your phone right now, man.
02:23:50.000
Are we off the topic, or can I still comment on this?
02:24:13.600
You can tell me, hey, check it out, and I'll be late.
02:24:31.860
Unless you want to come back and participate in the panel, you don't-
02:24:34.540
You can still come back and participate in the panel.
02:24:38.180
I know for sure you've heard way worse than anything that's on this panel.
02:24:42.660
The minute we all got here, I don't know he can hear me.
02:24:45.660
Tell you what, I'll apologize for calling you a retard if you sit back down.
02:25:02.340
I mean, did she not call you guys mentally ill and disgusting?
02:25:06.340
Did she guys not comment on men being mentally ill and disgusting for that?
02:25:14.500
I just take it with a grain of salt at this point.
02:25:27.060
I don't know that you're willing to do that, Brian.
02:25:48.720
Bro, you're killing it in the tone policing department.
02:26:07.140
I guess, Morgan, we're going to have you sit in that chair, I guess.
02:26:25.340
I mean, I was 21, and one of my, like, most meaningful relationships was with a 42-year-old
02:26:38.800
He didn't make me do anything I didn't want to do.
02:26:42.800
I felt like I grew with that person more than anyone closer to my age, and I've even
02:26:53.460
I've, like, kind of understood both sides of that aspect, and it really doesn't mean,
02:26:59.040
like, the age aspect is, like, the deciding factor of how, like, I don't know.
02:27:04.960
It's not gross, unless it's, you know, I mean, we all know what, like, that level gets to.
02:27:10.240
Gross people are gross people, regardless of age.
02:27:13.280
And it also kind of depends on the state of the woman, whether, you know, when she's 20
02:27:22.580
Well, that's the thing, too, is you get a lot of people saying that it's gross for a
02:27:26.580
man to want to be, an older, older man to be attracted to a younger woman, but yet there
02:27:34.560
is very rarely, I feel like, and you talk about women that seek out older men.
02:27:40.660
If you wouldn't mind on the mic, can you, can you put your mouth in front of the mic
02:27:44.860
itself, because otherwise the audio sounds kind of funky on this end.
02:27:53.060
I was saying that I feel like it's, there's, I'm not saying it's never talked about, but
02:27:58.580
I feel like it's definitely not as common, where you hear this talk a lot of basically
02:28:04.240
it's icky and it's gross for older men to be attracted or seek out younger women, but
02:28:10.820
yet it's not as talked about where you get younger women seeking out older men for their
02:28:18.560
resources, because let's, let's be honest, that's usually why they're seeking out older
02:28:24.100
men, because they're more established, they're more, that's like a majority.
02:28:31.280
Somebody says her mic is, they're saying her mic is not on.
02:28:37.000
Yeah, there's, there's something seriously wrong with the audio there.
02:28:45.440
So what it, what it sounds like, uh, Brian, is it sounds like she's kind of underwater a
02:28:55.720
It might have been the, it might have been the, no, now it's back, now it's back.
02:29:07.540
I still think we need to talk about the retard thing.
02:29:10.220
Maybe, um, maybe you can switch seats with, uh, with, uh, that way you got her mic.
02:29:16.080
I don't think switching wouldn't, that doesn't, that doesn't make sense.
02:29:19.180
Um, no, no, no, if she switched with helmet girl, then, cause helmet girl, you know what
02:29:23.900
Then she has a, the mic, the, that's, that's all I'm saying.
02:29:37.120
Like, am I, how many, how many names should I remember?
02:29:41.800
It'd be Tiffany one, Tiffany two, Tiffany three, Tiffany four, Tiffany five.
02:29:55.400
I was drinking milk from a fresh bowl of cereal that I happened to spill on my shirt.
02:30:01.120
I called myself a retardant and then proceeded to walk out on myself because I was so offended.
02:30:17.940
Like it, like is the same thing, like apply to like older women that go for younger men.
02:30:27.300
And also calling men mentally ill and then getting called retardants, but you just called all men mentally ill.
02:30:39.180
She called all men retarded, but I say I call her a retardant.
02:30:55.160
So every man is mentally retarded, but she's not.
02:31:06.420
She was looking for just any pretext or justification to leave.
02:31:11.300
Well, no, that's what I was kind of getting at with the fact that when I said women like to not be wrong.
02:31:17.900
That might've not been the best verbiage of it, but I feel like you get a lot and it's, I feel like it's more common in women than it is men where they don't like to admit.
02:31:30.040
Anyway, a bunch of people are saying the mic, the mics are totally scuffed.
02:31:52.440
I hear it on White Walsh's mic and then I hear it on your mic and then everybody else's mic seems to be fine.
02:31:59.000
Or maybe because we even switched my, I gave her my mic.
02:32:05.300
And it's, it's still, it's still like, I don't know why.
02:32:09.360
I think we just need to fucking put back in the other audio mixer.
02:32:16.040
It's going to take two minutes to do it, but, um, party.
02:32:20.340
The only, my only concern is if we unplug it, then it's just like, we, we lose audio completely.
02:32:29.340
Well, I mean, if we're making the viewers now in advance.
02:32:33.420
I don't know what changes you're making, but I'm pretty, I think it's worse.
02:32:48.360
Uh, well, no, it, it goes from bad to perfect, to bad, to perfect, to bad, to perfect.
02:32:57.020
I think that's maybe depending on like, talking at the same time.
02:33:01.500
We're going to go, we're going to have to unplug everything and just go back to the other mixer.
02:33:20.900
Let me think about how exactly I want to do this.
02:33:26.000
And I'm, we might even have to restart the stream.
02:33:29.620
At this point, the audio has been so frustrating, which is, you know what?
02:33:33.420
I'm going to, I blame the audio for my outburst in calling her a retard.
02:33:42.500
Trying to deal with this shit behind the scenes.
02:33:50.120
I'm not taking, I'm not taking any accountability.
02:33:59.480
So, okay, we need to, we're going to have to mute the audio.
02:34:02.200
It's going to take maybe two or three minutes to get everything switched back over.
02:34:05.900
I'm thinking it might be possible for us to just let Andrew talk.
02:34:20.620
You're going to put desktop audio on and you're going to mute audio.
02:34:36.840
So what you're going to do, Nick, to the right, there's a red audio icon.
02:34:47.460
And hold on, before you do chat, can you let us know if you can hear Andrew talking starting
02:35:22.180
And they can still hear you if I can still hear you.
02:35:46.560
So can we talk about the problems in improper thinking and how you can come to the absurd
02:35:56.940
I could like, I can see all these fine tattooed women here tonight.
02:36:04.740
Everything from fishnet girl all the way over, right?
02:36:07.280
They all come to great conclusions because, because, because they don't utilize rigidity
02:36:17.280
They're willing to go back to first root principles so that we can figure out the core of these
02:36:25.240
Everyone from backwards hat girl over to white tank top.
02:36:50.820
You guys are talking all kinds of shit and I can't hear a thing.
02:36:56.440
This is the greatest episode of whatever I've ever been on.
02:37:00.980
You can hear me and I can't hear a fucking word.
02:37:16.120
That's a really, that's a super bad impression.
02:37:19.980
For those of you who don't know, cause you can't hear white blouses attempting to make
02:37:24.660
fun of me as I carry this show while Brian takes care of the audio issues.
02:37:29.360
And she was just mocking me for having the fastest growing debate channel on YouTube.
02:37:35.100
And, uh, yeah, that, that wasn't, that wasn't very nice.
02:37:37.980
You know, I'm gonna, I can still hear you, but my audience can't hear you.
02:37:54.660
That plays Charlie Sheen's brother and two and a half men.
02:38:40.760
It's going to be, there's going to be a blue haired blow up doll in the mailbox.
02:38:44.880
I mean, it's right behind you by the key right behind you.
02:38:58.540
What does your dad think about your tats anyway?
02:39:29.180
I think it's, I think it's even my dad's notful Toldy.
02:40:03.720
Oh, no, the sleeve, for example, he didn't really mind so much.
02:40:12.860
It was the lucky you taxi that really threw him over the edge.
02:40:17.280
Brian said for me to entertain the stream, he just jumped right in immediately.
02:40:52.400
This is not the moment for everybody to be fucking up out of their seats.
02:40:55.220
Nick, can you get people sitting again, please?
02:41:32.120
The audio might be lower than it was before, but...
02:41:39.060
It might be lower, but it should be better, if that makes sense.
02:42:01.540
Sorry for the audio issues throughout the show.
02:42:13.840
That's not something, it's not going to be something that I'm going to be able to delegate.
02:42:17.900
I mean, I try to delegate tasks, but I'm going to have to go in and figure it out myself.
02:42:52.520
44-year-old male here, spent the last 12 years taking care of a parent.
02:43:00.180
If I wanted to get married to start a family, I'm looking for someone capable of having kids.
02:43:04.920
But if I did date a 20, early 30, something, I'm icky.
02:43:13.460
I don't think we're not allowed to call her names.
02:43:31.540
I think this is in reference to the girl who walked on the line.
02:43:37.520
I mean, any woman that uses that kind of terminology at that age is kind of, I don't know.
02:43:43.620
She had a lot of things to say, but that's not the way to.
02:43:47.960
I did have some questions for her, though, before she left, because she had a child.
02:44:07.400
I was going to say, that's some quick math right there.
02:44:11.200
I mean, she did say that she dated, when she was younger, she dated older men.
02:44:17.200
That's a question that I had, and how come that you, being a single woman, with not a
02:44:24.540
husband, but with a 15-year-old child at 34, as somebody your age, but you want them to
02:44:32.360
start over and start a family with you when you already have a kid, what kind of baggage
02:44:35.940
are you bringing when you had a kid when you were 16?
02:44:46.560
Like, how can you say that these men are mentally ill?
02:44:54.620
A 15-year-old men are just getting started in their careers, and buying homes, and doing
02:44:59.460
Do they want somebody with a 15-year-old kid that got impregnated when they were 16?
02:45:03.560
What kind of morals and values did you have that?
02:45:10.380
Damn, you know, I'm just like, make that make sense for me, if they're so mentally ill.
02:45:16.340
I believe she didn't mention an essay, which might be that scenario.
02:45:22.220
Okay, but then, if they, okay, how mentally ill were you to get, and that's something I
02:45:28.800
You might think these men are mentally ill, but as a woman, how mentally ill are you to
02:45:34.720
And I'm not saying that's right or wrong, I'm not calling anybody mentally ill, but I'm
02:45:41.080
I'm saying it might not have been her choice, because I believe she mentioned something about
02:45:45.700
an essay, which might be why she believes men are mentally ill for having that mindset.
02:45:54.760
That's also another, that's also another questionable decision.
02:45:56.700
I don't, I don't know her story, I'm just trying to give her the benefit of the doubt.
02:45:59.920
No, I a thousand percent agree, but I'm just saying, for you to sit here with such a strong
02:46:09.940
Come on, at 15, having a kid, I'm not saying that you haven't sought therapy, because I
02:46:16.020
know a lot of women have, and they've gone through issues, and from, we have all have
02:46:20.260
things that have gone in our lives that have created us to have issues, how can you just
02:46:28.180
Because it's easier to blame somebody that isn't you.
02:46:33.300
Because having a child at 16 years old, I'm sorry, that is.
02:46:38.680
People don't like to take responsibility for their actions, that's probably my accountability
02:46:43.240
So, you saying all these people are mentally ill, but you're not, and you get mad, why did
02:46:46.840
you get so mad when somebody called you retarded?
02:46:50.160
Sorry, I'm not trying to laugh, it's not funny.
02:46:52.540
Because it doesn't come down to, like, a man or a woman doing it, we all kind of, yeah.
02:46:57.680
But it's easier, but you know what, men are always, it's always their fault, they did
02:47:01.120
it, it's them, they're the problem, they did this, they do that, why?
02:47:04.700
Yeah, well, it's easier to be able to say something like that, but it also,
02:47:11.520
Because if the problem comes from somebody else, then they have to take care of that
02:47:18.120
But if it is your own personal problem in dating, whatever, and it's not a problem that
02:47:23.820
you created, you don't have to take any accountability for it, you have no power in fixing that said
02:47:28.940
So, yeah, it's just, regardless, if you enter into a conversation like this, and are unwilling
02:47:34.860
to engage with the logic, the conversation, be able to talk, and be able to think, maybe
02:47:40.360
I have certain things that I'm not perfectly reasonable with.
02:47:43.100
But as much as saying that he's being unhealthy, he's being unreasonable, he's being
02:47:50.640
By the way, it wouldn't be 16, it'd be 19, right?
02:47:56.420
I mean, that's still pretty young to have a child.
02:47:57.340
But I'm saying, so, you're in your teenage years, and that, to you, dating somebody older
02:48:02.580
So, regardless of that, you're still saying those type of situations are icky, but you
02:48:12.360
For calling Brian, he's this, he's combative, he's all of these things, you are also not
02:48:20.900
She would not listen to you, she would not listen to him, nothing.
02:48:24.800
It was her point, and her point only, and that was that.
02:48:27.700
And then the second, granted, should he have called a retarded?
02:48:32.000
But that's just kind of, you know, sometimes people say that.
02:48:36.520
Sometimes people say mean shit, and they don't mean to say it, but it kind of comes out
02:48:40.540
But how do you get to say that he said all this shit, but you wouldn't even listen to
02:48:46.040
him when he was just trying to be like, dude, listen, you're literally calling every man
02:48:51.600
Well, I don't know, I don't know about that he shouldn't have said X, and she shouldn't,
02:48:56.780
you know, I'm not willing to go there and grant that.
02:49:02.160
I'm just being a, I'm being the devil's advocate on that, because you know what, whatever.
02:49:11.100
Now, listen, if I was there in studio and I dropped the prop, Brian probably would have
02:49:21.820
I would have, you know, given him the middle finger.
02:49:26.380
Well, granted, but I'm just saying, like, she was so strong in her opinions and you literally
02:49:45.720
Yeah, she used the politically correct term, but when he said the real word, she was like,
02:50:37.680
It really ties the table together with the room.
02:50:44.420
And if you didn't have that particular prop, you wouldn't even have a show.
02:50:49.760
And then don't, and don't say like, well, I drove two and a half hours to be here.
02:50:54.440
We, I have, I've got on an airplane today to be here.
02:51:08.020
But I'm just saying some of us have come a long way.
02:51:11.800
We chose to take this day of our lives to be here.
02:51:14.920
We all knew the situation while coming on the show, whether it be positive, negative.
02:51:30.180
But you knew what you were getting yourself into.
02:51:31.740
So to get that upset is just kind of unreasonable, to be honest with you.
02:51:38.020
I know Andrew's, like, trying to gas me up here.
02:51:42.920
I was already tilted even before the show started.
02:51:54.700
Just, like, a whole bunch of kind of annoying things before the show.
02:52:04.460
Yeah, I took accountability at least, you know.
02:52:09.100
Although, I do kind of question, like, I mean, in the military.
02:52:30.460
As someone who works with the military, that's nothing.
02:52:43.340
What's the ultimate sign of, like, I am in the superior point of view because you're
02:52:48.860
saying such outlandish things that I must leave.
02:53:03.080
This is, I think this is a, this is almost like a dating, try to, try to bring it back
02:53:08.480
This is, this is almost a trope that you will encounter if you're having an argument with
02:53:14.140
Like, your girlfriend will, like, stab you in the side continuously with some shit.
02:53:21.520
And then it's just, oh my gosh, you'll be talking.
02:53:39.100
By the way, I'm not saying don't call, don't call, don't call your girlfriend a bitch.
02:53:42.800
But if we're talking about dating, and she was so keen on this, so what qualifies a high
02:53:51.580
You were so adamant on everything of what a high quality man was.
02:54:07.740
So, what was, what I saw in her arguments continually was she was receiving from us a bunch of quality
02:54:19.000
And instead of engaging with the argument, this, I look for the same thing when I'm dating
02:54:23.880
Instead of engaging with a difficult conversation, maybe I disagree with you.
02:54:28.620
The immediate response was, uh, what you're doing is mean.
02:54:40.800
If you want to be right, you must do things in a way that I deem necessary.
02:54:45.380
And okay, no, maybe this other person's a different person than you.
02:54:48.380
Maybe they have a good point and you should engage with that conversation.
02:54:51.100
If I'm dating somebody, I want them to be in the position where they can interpret what
02:54:57.160
As I told her, interpret with a meaning, regardless of the verbiage I'm using, trying to diagnose
02:55:07.740
Brian, did you know she almost right when I was on access Vegas with her, she almost
02:55:12.780
So I also have a question, uh, for Brian Mason, what's a high quality man?
02:55:24.840
Because she was so, as high quality men, they do this, they do that.
02:55:29.500
They do this because there is so many different variations of high quality men, whether it's,
02:55:36.020
you know, does financially making them high quality men, does the fact that he lets me
02:55:44.160
act this way, make him a high quality man, lets me, you know, like, what do you, what
02:55:53.520
Well, I think she said she was religious, so maybe that is what she's talking about.
02:55:56.220
So a Jesus man, because all Jesus men are literally high quality men, let's be real.
02:56:07.320
I know, I actually, I agree with that sometimes.
02:56:09.320
I would say, don't even say that only because they're religious.
02:56:16.320
I've been really, I've been really nasty to Nick, so Nick gets to get drunk during the
02:56:27.320
Wait, give him the wine when he brought you a bottle of wine.
02:56:37.320
You have to drink the whole thing though, okay?
02:56:49.320
What a man, what a man, what a man, what a man, what a man, what a man.
02:56:55.320
You chugged your beer at high quality, there you are.
02:57:02.320
What makes high quality is what I want to know.
02:57:43.320
Who said you're cooking salmon the first time they come over?
02:57:54.320
And depending on what type of guy he is, either mashed potatoes or like a little couscous,
02:58:04.320
Well, but like girl food is better than boy food.
02:58:06.320
Like, I want to eat my salmon with roast veggies.
02:58:09.320
But he's going to your house for the first time.
02:58:11.320
You gotta do a little robot steak, some potatoes, and some vegetables.
02:58:26.320
Like a bed of couscous with some like salmon on top.
02:58:39.320
Two dishes which are appropriate for the first time he comes over to eat.
02:58:44.320
You're never going to get any argument with these two dishes.
02:59:00.320
You have to have like a roast lamb with some warm pita, some like hummus, some like tartar.
02:59:23.320
They'll be like, oh, I'm going to give you something easy to make.
02:59:25.320
You know, the first time lure me in with something easy to make.
02:59:38.320
I mean, that's, I can really spice up a mac and cheese too, but like.
03:01:09.320
I don't know why I brought it there, but I don't know.
03:01:52.320
Let me get into some of my pre-show notes here.
03:02:06.320
You know, people get so bent out of shape about this stuff.
03:02:21.320
Let's, uh, oh, we do have to read a couple more chats here.
03:02:34.320
Brian is going to pull all of this drama on Nick's shoulders.
03:02:45.320
Here's a high value, mature, vulnerable question.
03:03:19.320
She told a man a high value that she had a lot of experience.
03:03:24.320
He told her that he valued her experience so she could, so he could sleep with her.
03:03:39.320
I'm 38, divorced, father of two, hoping for more.
03:03:43.320
Why are you, why are you so upset with dudes dating younger women to accomplish that?
03:04:08.320
That was the least of the issue with the things she was saying.
03:04:20.320
We got something a little, I think we got something a little weird going on with the audio.
03:04:28.320
There's a little something strange going on with the audio.
03:05:40.320
I have, so, it was back when I lived in Sonora, so more up north.
03:05:47.320
So, I lived in Sonora at the time trying to like, you know what, screw it, I'll just
03:05:59.320
And I went to the profile and there is a Confederate flag in the background.
03:06:11.320
Can you scoot your mic to the edge of the table?
03:06:16.320
He was with the Aryan Brotherhood in one of the pictures, like Adam, in one word or
03:06:49.320
Yeah, there was no nip slip, but I mean, it's hard to tell.
03:06:55.320
It looks like the titties are out, but the titties are not out.
03:09:38.980
I was talking about also all rights in general.
03:10:56.880
When it comes to sports, do you think, for example, female soccer players should be paid
03:11:09.560
Well, I don't know how much either of them make, but.
03:11:17.980
Well, that's where the equal rights thing comes in or equal pay thing comes in.
03:11:23.640
This is a common sport, like, within sports, within that confine.
03:11:30.140
So, should WNBA players be paid the same as NBA players?
03:11:50.680
Well, wouldn't that be within the purview of equal pay?
03:12:00.460
So, like, in the NBA, just to embellish on the example, the NBA, there are guys who make
03:12:06.680
on the order of millions, tens of millions, hundreds of millions.
03:12:09.840
And then in the WNBA, it's, like, on the order of tens of thousands.
03:12:16.240
Do you think that's, in the, in the, in the argument of equal pay, do you think that's
03:12:42.880
I feel like it's also maybe based on, based on, like, on how I'm going to say views on
03:12:52.080
who views more of, like, the male NBA should, like, okay, if this has enough views, why not
03:13:01.040
And then if the other one's, like, okay, the other one has less views, why?
03:13:23.500
I'm just going to pull a number out of the air.
03:13:24.760
And there's a lady in my same department, and she's making, say, $120,000.
03:13:52.060
But doing the same job, do you think that'd be fair?
03:13:56.900
I feel like it could be based on the experience and.
03:14:05.560
Well, generally speaking, if you take into account all of those other factors, like, okay,
03:14:11.280
how much does the man work versus how much does the woman work?
03:14:14.980
Regardless of gender, people who work more, more hours, are going to make more money.
03:14:19.580
If they're more adept at your craft, you're going to make more money.
03:14:30.140
So, when it comes to the work environment, the way that translates over is men generally
03:14:36.940
take a lot less time off of work than women do, especially when it comes to, well, men don't
03:14:48.720
They will generally do more work than a woman will.
03:14:51.100
So, given those other factors, do you think it may be fair that, generally speaking, men
03:15:10.340
So, given all the factors that men generally work longer hours than women.
03:15:18.980
Statistically, men work longer hours than women.
03:15:30.180
Jobs that require more effort, more time, more physical labor.
03:15:35.240
All of those things, because all of those factors, do you think that it's fair that men make more
03:15:52.300
So, that's generally where this wage gap number comes in.
03:15:57.640
They will claim that, but ignore all of those, all of those, I don't know, all of that criteria
03:16:08.640
They'll just say, women make 70 cents on the dollar, and they will ignore all of those
03:16:14.540
So, I appreciate that you're logically genuine with.
03:16:18.700
But my question is, what happens with all the, was it, you say the males that make more,
03:16:38.200
So, your position is that men are, and they actually have statistics on this.
03:16:43.780
Your position is, is that men are, for example, more likely to take time off or sick leave?
03:16:49.120
I was saying, sometimes, yes, we do have those hard workers out there, but sometimes.
03:16:53.520
Okay, but if, if we actually analyze statistics, and I told you, for example, that women are
03:16:59.540
more likely to take sick leave, women are more likely to ask for time off.
03:17:04.040
But what about the one guy that doesn't want to show up?
03:17:06.860
Yes, there are men, yes, there are men who are slackers and take sick leave, et cetera.
03:17:15.520
They're more likely to relocate to bumfuck North Dakota and live in a 300-population town.
03:17:22.440
And they're more likely to work in dangerous, difficult jobs, for example.
03:17:28.520
When it's 3 a.m. and the power goes out and it's below freezing, you're going to see a man out there
03:17:34.480
trying to get that figured out so the power can come back on.
03:17:37.500
And for you to say it's his choice, it might be his choice to do that, but without hard-working men
03:17:57.380
Yeah, but you don't base your argument off of the minority.
03:18:00.060
You base your argument off of what's the government.
03:18:05.600
And I don't think that that decision should be made off of a statistic more individually, I would say.
03:18:14.260
The issue that we're trying to discuss right now is should the wage gap be something that is combated?
03:18:21.480
Or do we realize that there are factors that make it so that men generally will make more than women?
03:18:33.800
Like those two ideas need to be met in the middle.
03:18:36.080
No, okay, so when you start to equate or when you account for all of those factors,
03:18:42.080
if you go to major metropolitan areas like Los Angeles or New York,
03:18:49.840
Even though that they take more sick leave, they...
03:18:53.820
Yeah, but sick leaves are like if it's pregnancy, like it's like you don't...
03:18:56.920
Well, so they choose jobs that don't require nearly as much demand.
03:19:08.260
it seems to be that women on average will make more than men.
03:19:13.740
even though they don't work harder than those other men.
03:19:16.340
Well, another thing to take into consideration too,
03:19:18.560
which it's kind of, to hate on myself, I guess, almost a dumb point here,
03:19:26.520
Okay, how many male electricians do you know versus women?
03:19:34.320
And, okay, when it comes, same thing, welding, plumbing, whatever it might be,
03:19:38.520
any blue collar job is going to be predominantly men.
03:19:53.040
basically boasting about how she's a woman in that field.
03:20:00.140
she's also getting profit now from being a minority,
03:20:07.780
So basically what I'm getting at here is women have the opportunity,
03:20:13.360
Not only that, they're going to get more limelight off of it
03:20:17.820
So they do have more opportunity if they really wanted to.
03:20:28.600
So, I mean, here, I'll bring it back a little bit to dating.
03:20:33.020
Do you think a guy should pay for the first date?
03:20:43.440
More often than not, at least in your own experience,
03:20:46.420
are you asking men out or are you asking men out
03:21:01.240
Would love to as her thoughts were on the statistics of promiscuity
03:21:14.060
Maybe she should come on when Andrew's in person.
03:21:18.020
So, okay, going back to this, you said it depends.
03:21:22.420
I asked more often than not, when it comes to who you're initiating with,
03:21:29.520
I would say majority of the time I'm the one getting asked on a first date.
03:21:33.580
However, I'm not afraid to, like, approach a man if I'm interested in him.
03:21:39.900
Okay, so how many first dates would you say you've been on?
03:21:43.920
Oh, probably, like, rough estimate, like, 30, 40.
03:21:48.400
I took a little bit of a break from dating just because I was really busy with school,
03:21:52.860
and I was trying to focus more on school and, like, getting grades,
03:21:57.960
So let's say it's 40 first dates that you've been on.
03:22:02.120
Of those 40, how many of them did you ask the guy out?
03:22:06.720
I'd say, like, maybe three or four, but also that being said, too, I've been on first dates, too,
03:22:15.340
where the man insists on paying, and I'm the one who...
03:22:19.220
Yes, and if he insists on paying, of course I'll pull out my credit card,
03:22:22.940
and I'll be like, no, no, no, I'll offer it if they're like, oh, don't worry about it, I'm paying.
03:22:26.080
And my go-to is I'm like, no, no, it's okay, we can split it.
03:22:29.320
And I pull out my credit card, I offer to split it,
03:22:31.560
and if he keeps pushing and he, like, tells me two or three times, no, no, no, I want to pay for it,
03:22:39.000
But will you only offer in the instances where you ask the guy out?
03:22:44.320
I feel like it kind of depends on, like, case-by-case basis.
03:22:47.780
It kind of depends on, like, how expensive the date is, what our vibe is.
03:22:52.160
But majority of the time, I will try to offer to pay 50-50,
03:22:55.260
but most of the time, they'll be like, it's okay, I got it, I'll try it, and then I just put it away.
03:23:00.340
Well, your position was, you said whoever asks should pay, right?
03:23:03.380
Yeah, but it's also, that's what I think, but also, when you're on a date,
03:23:09.460
If not just, like, adhering to a strict rule when I'm going out on these situations.
03:23:14.960
Like, I feel like this is kind of a gray area question for me, at least.
03:23:18.600
Like, that's what I believe as a general principle.
03:23:22.120
But then when I'm in a situation, there might be other little factors that kind of change how I'm feeling in the moment.
03:23:30.400
It's just, it's always interesting to me when I, people say, whoever asks should pay.
03:23:36.200
But it kind of ignores the fact that de facto men are overwhelmingly the initiators.
03:23:44.940
So, to say that, well, whoever asks should pay, you might as well just say men.
03:24:02.060
In only three or four of those, you were the asker.
03:24:04.260
So, that's 10% of the time you, 90% of the time men.
03:24:09.040
So, how can you argue against me on this, given your own anecdotal experience, that in 90% of all your first date experiences, men were the ones who asked you out?
03:24:22.900
I just want to make sure that we're on the same page on this.
03:24:28.180
So, I'm saying overwhelmingly men are the initiators.
03:24:30.860
And in your own anecdotal experience, you were the initiator in only 10% of all the first dates you've ever been on.
03:24:42.660
Wouldn't this be evidence enough for you to conclude that men are overwhelmingly going to be the initiators?
03:24:51.760
I would say that oftentimes it is men who are the initiators.
03:24:56.900
But so, don't you think it's a bit, I mean, to just say that whoever asked should pay, I think this line of reasoning would make more sense if men and women were asking each other out at comparable rates.
03:25:08.500
So, if it was about 50-50, I think this would make much more sense.
03:25:13.260
But it sort of ignores this, like, differential here where if men overwhelmingly are asking women on dates, then...
03:25:35.260
So, anyways, don't really need to linger too long on that, but just always an interesting point when people say whoever asked should pay, while men overwhelmingly are the initiators.
03:25:50.520
I think that women should offer to split, but, I mean, if a man is going to insist that he pays, then, like, that's his choice, I guess.
03:26:05.260
Like, I'm going to reach for the wallet, but then if the guy's like, oh, cool, let's split, you would feel a certain type of way.
03:26:11.700
You'd be like, oh, it was just a token gesture.
03:26:17.960
You're not going to say that, of course, but...
03:26:21.380
Like, as if it was, like, some reverse psychology.
03:26:24.680
I will say, just speaking from my point, and I know we're around, like, similar ages, as a college student, I'm really broke.
03:26:36.200
Like, I'm just trying to, like, I'm working hard, exactly.
03:26:39.380
So, like, if I'm offering to split, and the person who I'm also on a date with is a college student, and we're offering to split, and he takes me up on that, I'm in a, like, I understand what it's like to be in your shoes.
03:26:50.820
I'm totally fine with splitting, but I think that's kind of, like, my perspective influences that.
03:26:56.140
It might be different if I'm not in college, you know what I mean?
03:26:58.860
Would it color your prospects of going on another date with them negatively?
03:27:10.940
I feel like it should be either or, because what happens if, like, not everybody's well, like, has money, but sometimes it would help them out, because what happens, even though, despite the guy being broke, you still said yes to the date, despite the financial part you didn't know beforehand.
03:27:38.420
Has that been your experience with the first dates you've been on?
03:27:45.040
You've only been on two first dates, but you've had sexual intercourse with 21 men?
03:27:53.580
I have only been on two relationships, and then there are times where someone wanted to pay for me, but I did not feel comfortable for them paying for my stuff, so I ended up paying for myself.
03:28:11.600
On one of the casualty encounters I had, two dates, they both paid, and then one casual encounter wanted to pay, but I said no.
03:28:30.360
Honestly, I've always been, like, working, and I've been the only one working for the most part in the dates that I've gone on, so I didn't have a problem, like, paying at all.
03:28:53.500
Is there a difference between those two experiences?
03:29:04.140
Wait, but you describe yourself as an, your words, not mine, an L.A. art hoe.
03:29:13.200
No, it's not, it's not like there's no, you know, specific type, but regardless, if I'm offering, if I'm offering to pay and I want to do something, I don't have, I committed to that.
03:29:29.000
I don't have a problem, and I don't look at them any less because of that, or if they wanted to split and they offered to take me out.
03:29:38.700
Here, can you, look, please, just, can you scoot the mic to the very edge of the table?
03:29:50.280
I believe men should pay, but I do often split.
03:29:55.940
In my context, I do always pay, but I totally understand if men don't want to.
03:30:02.200
So, in a very roundabout way to kind of arrive at the point and why I'm asking this question, we were talking about the wage gap.
03:30:08.500
So, I think ignoring all the other factors we've talked about, the fact that men work more hours, men are more likely to work dangerous jobs, men are more likely to work overtime, et cetera, there's a bunch of reasons.
03:30:19.540
The different kinds of fields that men go into, I think it can actually, ignoring all those other factors, can actually just be the wage gap, since you brought it up, can actually just be explained away, not by something really on a systematic level, but at the woman's level.
03:30:38.920
So, this actually can just be explained away by mating pressure.
03:30:41.740
So, if your expectation, and again, look, some women are fine with splitting, but there are enough women at this table, let's say it's only 50% of women expect men to pay.
03:30:51.460
That's a big enough of a cohort to put enough generalized mating pressure on men to be like, okay, I have to be a provider.
03:30:58.920
And in addition to just paying the first date, this sort of expectation that men be providing extends well into relationships, too, into marriage, having children, et cetera.
03:31:10.540
So, if the expectation is for men to be providers and to pay for first dates, this puts a mating pressure on men that doesn't exist at all in women.
03:31:20.020
And so, the wage gap can simply just be explained away on this sole metric.
03:31:25.400
It's actually women that put pressure on men to become high achievers and to make money.
03:31:31.860
Because if we don't make money and we can't provide for you, then we are at a disadvantage in the dating marketplace.
03:31:41.640
And on average, women have a stronger preference than men for wealth and status in a partner.
03:31:47.220
So, and this difference, it's found in all societies.
03:31:50.100
And it's even found among women who are high earners themselves, the more money a woman makes, she's going to look for the man to make just as much or more money than she does.
03:32:00.420
Whereas wealthy men will regularly date women who are not in their socioeconomic bracket.
03:32:06.980
So, I guess just to put a cap in it, the wage gap is simply explained away by women's own preference for high status and high earning men.
03:32:16.820
You may be right, but that doesn't make it, like, right.
03:32:21.940
I don't think that that pressure should necessarily be put on men either.
03:32:34.280
So, if there's 50% of the female population, that's like men have to pay for first dates.
03:32:41.700
So, what do you think, do you think, what is like one of the number one motivations?
03:32:52.600
But do you think mating pressure has a significant impact on the choices that we make?
03:33:01.060
The way we dress, the way we look, we want to be appealing to the opposite sex.
03:33:05.380
We want to pursue a good career so we can make a lot of money, so we can be appealing to women.
03:33:25.360
I mean, I guess I'm not really thinking about that at all.
03:33:27.580
I'm thinking about that, like, if real equality and things like that are supposed to be achieved, you're supposed to want that for yourself.
03:33:35.840
I should want to want to be able to provide for myself whether a man can pay for my dinner or not.
03:33:42.160
Like, I want to pay for myself and that person because I want to show that it's not, it doesn't have to be like that.
03:33:51.460
Okay, there are women out there who are fine with splitting the bill.
03:33:55.920
But there are enough women out there who would not be willing to tolerate a man going Dutch on a date to create enough of a pressure on men that this mating pressure will be a greater motivational factor in achievement.
03:34:11.820
Like, as women, you might be motivated to become successful, but not for dating reasons.
03:34:18.780
You're not going to be like, I want the high-paying job so that men will like me.
03:34:32.540
But it's not clear to me if this additional motivation exists in women.
03:34:42.400
But, like, if that is going to be changed and you want that equality, why keep going with that agenda and not, like, communicate?
03:34:58.220
That's what a lot of women preach all the time.
03:35:01.020
Why do you want to take, you know what, that's...
03:35:04.120
Honestly, like, that is what's creating such beta men.
03:35:09.440
If I care about that, because I care about me being able to, if nobody else is able to do that, I want to be able to do it for myself and not worry about that person.
03:35:21.720
There's nothing stopping you from splitting the bill.
03:35:24.220
But we're having a conversation about wage gap here.
03:35:28.800
And so my explanation is, simply put, that there is a mating pressure, which is extremely powerful on men.
03:35:41.260
So in addition, not only do they have a higher sex drive...
03:35:46.440
Like, generally speaking, men have a higher sex drive, and then coupled with this mating pressure that exists on men that does not exist on women.
03:35:54.980
It's a generalization that is kind of, in my opinion, fucking it up.
03:35:59.120
So what we're trying to say is, like, the gender pay gap, we're not saying it's not there.
03:36:05.880
We're just saying it's not a matter of injustice.
03:36:16.300
Yeah, well, and the reality is there, because men and women are totally different.
03:36:19.940
So our motivations, our pressures, all of this stuff is totally different.
03:36:23.920
So there's a reason why men have all of this pressure to get there.
03:36:27.520
Well, I like what Brian said, as far as with women that are trying to work high-paying jobs, they're not doing it to be more attractive to men.
03:36:38.280
And I'm not saying this to sound mean or nasty or anything, but they're doing it for their own selfish reasons.
03:36:43.960
They're doing it because they want to be breadwinners.
03:36:47.800
They're not doing it necessarily for the family domain, where I feel like men usually have that more mindset of, I'm doing this because I want to care for my family.
03:36:56.320
Generally speaking, women bought the lie that corporate America sold them hook, line, and seeker, that it's more fulfilling to pursue a job than pursue family.
03:37:06.080
And why as women do you want to be so equal to men?
03:37:37.880
Wait, Nick, can you put it on intro really quick?
03:38:16.420
Andrew's probably still getting audio on his end.
03:38:23.640
So, you dated somebody who was in the Hells Angels?
03:38:36.700
And when we met, he was just, like, a normal dude.
03:39:02.800
Yes, there are women clubs that ride their own bikes, and they have their own situation.
03:39:30.400
Do you think all those, like, TV shows kind of get it wrong?
03:39:40.940
Like, it's just, like, they chalk it up to, like, this whole, like, crazy, like, oh, my gosh.
03:39:52.920
I mean, every charter, like, Oakland Charter, San Francisco, Bakersfield, Fresno.
03:39:59.520
Fresno has one of the biggest bike giveaways every December.
03:40:04.560
They also do rides for children that have been bullied that have...
03:40:08.140
They will take children to court that have been...
03:40:18.560
That freaking word is not coming to my head, and it's really...
03:40:32.800
I mean, in any way you want to say how they treat women, honestly, I have never met a man
03:40:39.400
in this organization that has treated their children wrong, their wives wrong.
03:40:44.840
They are, like, I know them as family men, like, you know what I mean?
03:40:59.000
I saw that, but I'm sure you had a lot of cool, interesting stories.
03:41:06.540
To this day, you know, they're some of my greatest friends.
03:41:10.420
And, I mean, I travel all over, and I've been to see members in many different countries,
03:41:17.940
and they open their homes and, you know, food, and just, they take care of you.
03:41:23.420
Going to Daria, you have a couple interesting tattoos.
03:41:46.960
I was 20 and not in the best, like, mental state to pick a tattoo, but...
03:42:00.420
Bring me back on that, because I'll be a tattoo.
03:42:03.980
Do you think perhaps the reason you made the choice for the tattoo...
03:42:06.720
...is because your prefrontal cortex was not fully...
03:42:18.460
I was a fan and still am a fan of Gucci Mane, so...
03:42:35.760
But it also is the same kind of, um, same pronunciation in my language, in Farsi, too.
03:43:01.220
Yes, and, like, my ex-fiancee stick-and-poked it.
03:43:05.480
It was, like, romantic, and, like, I don't know, dude.
03:43:09.160
That was the craziest relationship I had, so I don't, I don't regret it.
03:43:45.500
That's literally the same one that Angelina Jolie has.
03:43:58.780
I didn't want to get a name tattoo for who I was dating.
03:44:06.620
We picked satirical, like, celebrities that had tattoos of each other or whatever.
03:44:27.220
Could be fixed up to look nicer than what I could afford at that age.
03:44:35.260
It's, like, regretting a part of your past that you believed in so strongly to tattoo at that time.
03:44:48.360
We're getting some lag while we're getting the lag.
03:45:16.220
I think stopping the virtual cam might help it a little bit, potentially.
03:45:25.480
Those of you who are watching this back on replay, we are having internet.
03:45:46.320
All these people who are watching this back on playback, it's going to be...
03:46:23.140
While we're just kind of coming back to the tattoo stuff, Morgan, can I have you read this
03:46:31.560
Is there no more of an anecdote than personal experience?
03:46:37.460
A woman and a man out in a freezer trying to get the power on.
03:46:45.480
I would send her to the freezing cold and be pampered and high maintenance.
03:46:49.720
So that's like supporting the, like, women would never do that.
03:46:52.540
Well, this actually brings us, we haven't had the bullet conversation in a while.
03:46:59.920
So, truthfully, look, I think that, maybe I should ask the question first.
03:47:07.560
Do you think a man should be willing to take a bullet for his girl?
03:47:30.800
But also, given that, I feel like it should go for the woman as well.
03:47:38.680
But, like, me, non-romantically, like, my little brother and my dad, I would take bullets for them.
03:47:44.260
Like, I think it's totally, yeah, I agree with that.
03:47:50.080
Yeah, but, like, even I have, like, guy friends from home, like, I grew up with.
03:47:59.020
Because there's, like, a choir family, and then there's, you have your.
03:48:02.840
They feel like they're a part of my family at this point.
03:48:22.480
Because then, yes, of course, he's a bitch if he ran off.
03:48:34.980
I can't expect him to do something I wouldn't do.
03:48:48.300
I do happen to know one person who did, in fact, run off, and his girl took a bullet for him.
03:48:57.740
So, I guess there are all women who will do that.
03:48:59.880
Well, I guess, too, for me, when I say provider, I guess I view it from the standpoint, I do have a child.
03:49:04.680
My child's father is, makes more money than I do.
03:49:11.240
He's got his shit together, basically, more than I do.
03:49:29.220
If I have to protect myself, why are you there?
03:49:31.040
In chess, you lose if you sacrifice the king to save the queen.
03:49:51.940
I do think, but there's this thing, like, if the guy wasn't willing to, like, protect his girlfriend in a situation to the point that he's either maimed or injured or even to the point of death, that he's a little bitch.
03:50:09.460
I do think it comes into a different stance when there's children involved, though.
03:50:19.700
You think the guy, you think, people say, oh, he wouldn't be an alpha male.
03:50:33.280
Wouldn't it be the most alpha, sigma, giga, chat move?
03:50:37.200
For you to, for the man to survive and just find some other chick.
03:50:50.320
You're going to sacrifice the woman so you can survive and just go find another chick.
03:51:02.760
I will say if you have children and if the man is the prime provider.
03:51:12.760
Because he's going to be the one continuing to provide.
03:51:20.460
Then there should be no argument of like pay gap or whatever.
03:51:31.580
For me, that's kind of where my other argument was going into.
03:51:38.500
Christ died for the church and men are supposed to love their wives.
03:51:50.300
If you sit there and you want a woman, you have to protect her.
03:51:56.840
If a woman has to sit there and protect herself, why are you even there?
03:52:06.340
And you could totally change my opinion on this if you have a reasoning for it.
03:52:09.380
I'm not sitting here saying I'm right, you're wrong.
03:52:11.560
But for me, how I view it, like I said again, is if.
03:52:17.520
But if my child's father is going to be more equipped to provide for our child, why would
03:52:24.180
I say, oh, well, just because I'm a woman, I should be the one to live.
03:52:29.340
If he could give him a better life and he could provide for him in a more.
03:52:34.700
In a better way where he can have more things that he needs and he can provide more for him,
03:52:39.040
then yeah, I would want his dad to be the one to live.
03:52:41.400
I think that having a bunch of beta men is why we are where we are in society.
03:52:47.420
I'm just saying I think there are certain situations, especially when children are involved.
03:52:53.540
That's my main point on that is when children are involved, yes.
03:53:15.740
Even if I'm a fucking lazy POS and I'm staying at home and my girl is a fucking G.
03:53:24.620
If my girl's a G and she's bringing home a mil a year, she still takes the bullet.
03:53:45.520
I've never heard you have that kind of opinion, but okay.
03:54:06.440
Why do you not have the means to protect yourself?
03:54:20.460
Do you know what it takes to carry in California?
03:54:23.780
Well, first things first, I don't have the right to carry in California, but everywhere else...
03:54:28.960
Uh-huh, yeah, yeah, but suddenly, but Brian's supposed to be carrying?
03:54:38.360
No, I'm not from California, but I can carry pretty much everywhere.
03:54:41.560
You're in the communist capital of the United States, California.
03:54:54.000
I believe that you're full of shit and don't know what the hell you're talking about.
03:54:56.540
You can sooner make a million dollars in California than get a concealed carry permit.
03:55:05.220
The show cause that you have to do in California is insane.
03:55:10.000
Okay, but that's a totally separate conversation.
03:55:13.820
Why aren't you carrying in a state you're not allowed to carry in, Brian?
03:55:16.720
Oh, well, then I guess you should leave the state.
03:55:36.280
There's a little propeller hat that Brian can use.
03:55:40.980
I asked him if I could wear one of the special hats.
03:55:56.140
I was going to talk about what we want to wear.
03:56:07.700
If I don't want to take the bullet, I shouldn't have to.
03:56:19.500
Okay, I do have actually a topic that maybe we don't need to get into.
03:56:24.120
I wanted to hear a little more from you on this.
03:56:35.940
Yeah, I believe that men should protect women, and that's why we are where we are,
03:56:41.680
If you want a woman, you've got to treat her like a woman.
03:56:47.880
If you want a boss babe, then you treat her like a boss babe.
03:56:50.280
But you're not going to be a boss babe and be like a feminine,
03:56:56.820
You're going to throw your little submissive, feminine, bowing woman
03:57:01.520
The only woman who's going to sit there and bow to you,
03:57:04.140
you're going to throw her in front of a bullet?
03:57:06.920
If she's submissive and she's going to bow, then, I mean.
03:57:18.780
Isn't it like the testosterone levels in men have just decreased, like,
03:57:24.860
That's because all the plastic material from makeup products is seeping.
03:57:31.420
It's because all of the masculine men are taking bullets for all of these women.
03:57:53.160
Wait, we can't talk about the plastic in men's balls?
03:57:56.700
Wait, why can't you talk about plastic in men's balls?
03:58:21.240
Wait, but was I right about the testosterone thing?
03:58:31.880
This is not the first time a medical thing has been frowned upon on YouTube.
03:58:39.520
But there are microplastics in the environment.
03:58:51.180
No, but this was reported in like left-leaning organizations, NPR, The Guardian.
03:59:00.320
Unless you tie it in to it's turning the frogs blank.
03:59:36.720
Andrew, can you please let him answer this one first, though?
03:59:40.340
The testosterone levels, like, being lowered throughout the years.
03:59:45.000
Testosterone's been dropping since we've been recording it anyway.
03:59:49.140
But they estimate that there may be somewhere between four to eight times as much testosterone
03:59:53.980
just 100 years ago as men in their 20s have now.
04:00:02.940
Because it's a topic you bring up a lot, and I think you might actually be wrong on
04:00:10.620
Is when it comes to the whole, basically, if women have the right to not be involved
04:00:26.540
And I'm saying I think you might be wrong on it.
04:00:28.820
I don't know for sure, but I think you might be wrong on something that you bring up a
04:00:32.800
Because you say, basically, that, okay, well, women have the right to do what they want,
04:00:37.160
and men don't have the right to make the decision to not be involved.
04:00:41.680
Correct me if I'm wrong, because I feel like Andrew might know this.
04:00:53.320
Well, basically, what I'm saying is, like I said, it could be a state-to-state basis.
04:01:01.280
Possible for a man, let's say, like, I get pregnant, and it's by Brian.
04:01:24.460
Okay, because you had said, basically, in the past, that women have the right to do what
04:01:31.660
And, but I'm saying, it could be a state, like, based on what state you live in, but
04:01:37.360
I'm pretty sure that you do, men do have the right to sign away their rights, in my
04:01:49.520
In absolutely no state in the U.S., I'm not even aware of any country anywhere where
04:01:56.400
this is actually possible, although I'm not privy to the child support laws in,
04:02:01.660
you know, the various countries, but I'm not aware of anything that would be, like,
04:02:05.780
affirmative as far as it comes to men's ability to relinquish, or relinquish responsibility.
04:02:13.060
So, at least within the United States, there's no state where a man can say, well, I knocked
04:02:18.400
up a girl, she's going to keep the child, she's desirous of having child support, I can
04:02:28.920
Yeah, but that's a different, but wait, that's a different argument.
04:02:31.660
No, no, no, I'm just saying, I'm not even arguing the point, I'm just asking.
04:02:36.220
Yeah, I know, but what I'm saying is that when you're giving the position, you're giving
04:02:43.280
So, Brian's position is, if women are allowed to have abortions and can terminate their parental
04:02:48.900
rights whenever, then men should be able to give up their parental rights if women are
04:02:59.900
Because women can have abortions without consent of the man, right?
04:03:03.780
So, even if it were true that if a woman consented, a man would be discharged from parental responsibility.
04:03:16.160
No, yeah, because I was going to say there's, it could be my knee.
04:03:19.940
Is it, like, not fair that, like, what if, like, the man does not want to have the child
04:03:28.860
Is that, like, the only reason I even, that kind of came into my mind recently was because
04:03:34.260
there is a girl I know personally, and I'm not going to get too much into it because I
04:03:37.260
don't want to air out her dirty laundry, but where the father didn't want to be involved
04:03:44.160
and he was, like, umpteen thousand dollars basically in debt due to child support, and
04:03:49.980
he ended up signing away his rights, and she agreed to it, and now he has basically no rights
04:03:58.880
Yeah, there can be custody arrangements which are agreed to by both parties where the father
04:04:03.460
is discharged from this type of responsibility, but the court can also rule against that at
04:04:09.420
Yeah, so what I was going to say, so they can come, I would suspect this was, maybe it
04:04:15.080
was court approved, but this sort of arrangement could have just been determined between the
04:04:21.060
But she could then go to the court and say, I need child support, and just reel him right
04:04:31.820
And I will say, I will say, at that point they can take away your driver's license, they
04:04:36.520
can start taking away your paycheck, and so, no, I do get that portion of it.
04:04:41.660
I just wasn't sure, necessarily, if your stance was, men don't have any option at all.
04:04:48.240
No, he's speaking, the argument that he's speaking to is this.
04:04:53.060
He's looking for if women actually care about fairness or don't.
04:04:58.160
And so, the question is just this, if a woman without the consent of the father can abort
04:05:04.940
the child, this gives her incredible leverage over a pregnancy that a man does not have,
04:05:10.620
where she can discharge her parental rights at any time, regardless of what he wants.
04:05:18.100
So, if you were to allow every single woman in the United States to have abortions on
04:05:24.120
demand, Brian's position is that it seems fair to him that then men should be able to
04:05:29.780
then discharge any parental rights they want on demand as well.
04:05:34.820
But, I mean, to actually answer your question, in no state can a man...
04:05:45.060
You know, if you come to some out-of-court arrangement, but at any given moment, she could
04:05:54.840
...and say, I need child support, or, or, even if she doesn't want child support, but
04:06:01.060
she applies for some sort of government assistance...
04:06:05.560
They're going to go after him, despite even the woman's wishes...
04:06:10.060
...and go after him, if she needs to go on government support, food stamps, eat whatever
04:06:14.720
Trust me, I looked into that at one point, and then...
04:06:16.020
Right, well, you collect child support from your...
04:06:19.300
That's the thing, is when I initially went to...
04:06:21.440
Because I initially looked through the government, yeah, but then they wanted all of his information,
04:06:25.460
and that's where I got kind of uncomfortable with it, because I was like, I know they're
04:06:27.820
going to take a fuck ton of his money, because he makes good money.
04:06:32.560
So that's when me and him came to a mutual agreement.
04:06:34.960
Yes, so you can have any kind of arrangement, really, so long as the...
04:06:40.940
In terms of the child support, so long as the state isn't involved, but so I'm just trying
04:06:46.960
to understand kind of what your original question was.
04:06:48.840
I was saying, I was asking, because I personally did not know, because, mind you, I only know
04:06:56.000
So I didn't know if it was, like I said, a state-to-state thing, where it was like certain
04:07:04.300
There's absolutely no state where a man could just willy-nilly say, I'm just going to choose
04:07:11.260
Like, if the woman's desirous of it, or the state wants to get involved, they're going
04:07:18.600
18 years, he's going to be compelled to, in one way or another, make child support payments.
04:07:24.320
And then I think the other thing, in addition to that, not only is there not currently any
04:07:29.140
laws, there, in all likelihood, will never be such laws that would allow men to relinquish
04:07:42.560
My only thing was, it wasn't me, like, trying to debate you even necessarily.
04:07:45.880
It was more of like a question thing, because I was like, based off that one scenario I did
04:07:50.000
know about with somebody I knew, I was like, okay, well, is he wrong then?
04:07:59.160
There's no state where it's, there's any sort of law or anything that would allow a man,
04:08:03.940
the typical terminology is legal paternal surrender.
04:08:06.800
So essentially the man would say, I'm relinquishing all responsibility.
04:08:12.600
But he could still have it come back to Biden, basically, you're saying.
04:08:29.180
You said you dated an alcoholic racist and you're.
04:08:52.420
Oh, I think I sent you a really, really long message.
04:09:10.340
I just had an issue with my big labia matter thing.
04:09:17.900
People assume dating and sex is synonymous and it's abysmal.
04:09:23.580
You said that I'm, actually, before we get into that, going around the table, if you were
04:09:33.080
Would you rather come across a random man or a random bear?
04:09:46.800
Give me one second, because I do want to consider my options.
04:10:05.260
So, the question is, would you rather come across a random man or a random bear?
04:10:17.180
This is really tricky, because it does depend on the bear.
04:10:34.220
I think random man, because then I would at least be able to communicate with him verbally.
04:10:43.120
So, I think that I would choose the random man, because then at least I could communicate.
04:10:59.000
They express either extreme anger or satisfaction.
04:11:03.540
I have not studied bear speak, so I'll choose the random man.
04:11:14.460
I believe I answered this last time, but I would choose a man, yeah.
04:11:24.240
Bear, and I do want to wait until she's back to get into it.
04:11:40.020
Morgan, can I have you read a couple chats here?
04:11:46.080
She turns the lights on, and you see her bookcase on the wall.
04:11:48.700
What books do you see that make you turn and leave immediately?
04:12:25.260
I feel like in America, I don't really have a choice.
04:12:31.500
What would you prefer to be a different economic model?
04:12:36.120
I think that in theory, capitalism should work.
04:12:38.800
I think that in order for it to work, though, you need more social provisions.
04:12:43.120
I just don't think we have that right now, obviously.
04:12:58.940
I think that capitalism with the adequate social provisions should be enough to function.
04:13:04.740
I think right now in the U.S. it's not, unfortunately.
04:13:08.520
Yeah, well, I think that's a mischaracterization of what we have in the U.S.
04:13:12.400
I think it's because we've tried to institute certain social incentives that our capitalism is all messed up.
04:13:19.960
You've got to go to the back if you're going to eat.
04:13:28.720
I think it's because we have all of these social incentives like the government trying to pay for school, the government trying to pay for medical, the government trying to pay for all this other stuff.
04:13:41.880
We don't really have a free market society because big businesses that suck at their job are just bailed out by the government because they're too big to fail.
04:13:53.520
Whereas if it was actually capitalist, if it was actually free market, they would just be allowed to fail, and then good companies would be able to rise to the top.
04:14:03.680
We have all of this inappropriate power that's being levied upon our free market system that makes it not so capitalist.
04:14:14.780
I feel like when I say we live in a capitalist society, I'm referring to the fact that the U.S., the dominant ideology in the U.S. is capitalism.
04:14:31.120
I could agree that most of the people want a capitalist society because that's, throughout history, that's proven to be the best way to lift a country from nothing to something.
04:14:42.280
Yeah, I think when you talk about social provisions, too, I agree with your point that the government shouldn't be helping, like, failing, but stuff like that.
04:14:50.560
I think that there are a lot more, like, basic, urgent needs that need to be addressed before that.
04:15:02.860
Let me have her read this, and then you guys can get into it for a bit.
04:15:12.980
You going to let your man take the shot, then jump on his dead body and get yourself murked, too?
04:15:22.000
If you guys want, you can have a brief exchange.
04:15:25.340
I was just curious if we could go through some of this.
04:15:30.260
I'm talking about, like, addressing homelessness in the U.S.
04:15:33.200
I would say, like, bipartisan climate solutions.
04:15:36.260
I would say those are just the two off the top of my head right now.
04:15:46.620
Let me finish answering the question or asking the question.
04:15:49.900
So, when you're talking about climate change, who is this going to help?
04:15:54.620
The climate change provisions, who is it going to help specifically?
04:15:58.360
Well, scientific data and peer-reviewed studies have already proven that we are seeing the
04:16:06.020
So, it would help us currently, but increasingly so future generations.
04:16:10.460
I'm talking about almost like a preservation matter at this point.
04:16:19.000
Do you see the amount of natural disasters that are occurring at rates that we've never
04:16:27.220
Less people dying from heat waves than have ever died in heat waves in history, that's
04:16:31.440
for sure, because we have these cool things called air conditioners.
04:16:34.380
But, besides that, there's this other awesome fact, which is that, no, the climate change
04:16:45.000
And the data models are so overtly complex that it's essentially impossible for you to draw
04:17:01.000
I just want to know, if you were the queen of the United States and you could have your
04:17:07.140
perfect climate policy instituted, whatever that is, who would it help right now?
04:17:19.260
Well, first of all, I don't think I would ever want to be queen of the United States.
04:17:25.680
I would say that if I were to implement bipartisan climate solutions right now, it would mostly
04:17:30.540
focus on shifting the labor markets over to sustainable energy.
04:17:34.140
So, I would say right now, who it would help is, in my perfect world, as the queen of the
04:17:39.580
United States, it would help people who are currently working in the gas industry and fossil
04:17:53.820
I would like to continue my thought without any interruptions.
04:17:57.900
Yeah, I'm sure that you would, but I don't want you to prattle.
04:18:02.420
How would it actually help people in the gas industry who are working for the gas industry?
04:18:08.860
I'm saying that in my bipartisan climate solution that I would implement, theoretically, that it
04:18:15.880
would shift our industry from being fossil fuel dominant over to sustainable energy, and
04:18:21.260
it would first and foremost focus on protecting the jobs of those who are in those industries
04:18:29.260
Those people who are in those industries right now already have jobs.
04:18:33.220
You asked me to answer a question on a hypothetical situation.
04:18:36.420
And what, okay, and then what was the question I actually, okay, hang on, hang on.
04:18:44.800
If you were the queen of the U.S., who would, who would your policies, yeah, we've gone a
04:18:54.760
If I were the queen of the U.S. right now, who would my climate policies help right now?
04:19:06.460
How would it help people who have jobs to have jobs?
04:19:10.480
I think that the U.S. systemically is so dependent on fossil fuels that I don't think that you
04:19:16.180
can, from my point of view, and you don't have to agree with this.
04:19:23.220
I think that because our economy is so dependent on fossil fuels that implementing, like, a sustainable
04:19:30.040
policy like this, it wouldn't benefit anyone right now.
04:19:41.500
Yeah, so it wouldn't help a single person right now.
04:19:44.260
So if you were the queen of the United States, you would implement policies which wouldn't
04:19:49.880
I think also you're ignoring that sometimes in politics, it's not just about policies helping
04:19:55.400
people short-term, that you're trying to create long-term systemic impact.
04:20:02.380
So you brought up the homeless crisis in the United States.
04:20:05.340
I'm not sure it's a crisis, but the homeless problem.
04:20:11.260
How would you solve the problem of the homeless in the United States, even with a long-term
04:20:17.000
Are you asking me, a 21-year-old college student, to solve U.S. homelessness right now?
04:20:43.920
I want to decline this question, and it's because I do not- I'm going to be honest.
04:20:48.260
I truly don't think I'm equipped to solve U.S. homelessness.
04:20:55.140
I will be voting, but I do have no interest in public office ever.
04:21:05.220
Yeah, you're going to be voting for Biden, though?
04:21:07.100
Well, actually, Andrew, I did speak to her before the show.
04:21:12.100
Oh, Brian, you weren't supposed to tell anyone that.
04:21:17.700
Andrew, respectfully decline, but I do appreciate you asking me about politics.
04:21:22.000
Okay, well, let me ask you a different question.
04:21:23.500
If you could have voted in the last election, who would you have voted for?
04:21:30.940
This is a very tricky question for me to answer, just because currently I do not agree with a lot of Biden's policies.
04:21:38.260
Sure, but if you could have in the last election, who would you have voted for?
04:21:41.300
I will say that given my knowledge at the time, during the 2020 election, I would have voted for Biden.
04:21:51.740
Do I feel more apprehension voting for Biden now after seeing his first presidential term?
04:22:13.980
I had a feeling that it would have been Biden if you could have voted last time.
04:22:18.520
I didn't understand why, um, the reason that I ask these questions, right?
04:22:23.500
And you say, if you use the cop-out, well, I'm just 21 years old.
04:22:32.280
And that is, it's sickening to me that a person who, who we, if we move into a political discussion,
04:22:41.560
I just don't think that 21 year olds are smart enough to fucking vote that you can ask
04:22:45.440
them a question and they, they're like, I don't know.
04:22:48.500
It's like, well, then why are you fucking voting?
04:22:57.380
I would reopen mental institutions, public mental institutions and put most of them in there
04:23:01.940
because that's what most of them are is mentally ill and they're homeless by choice.
04:23:06.700
Most homeless people are homeless by choice or due to severe mental illness.
04:23:10.940
Would you also implement policies to ensure the continuity of care once these people were
04:23:16.700
We already had such policies and fucking Democrats destroyed it all.
04:23:20.700
The passive aggressive pussy ass Democrats with their bleeding hearts decided that they
04:23:25.220
were going to tear down the public mental institutions.
04:23:28.140
The reason that they did it is because they sent a reporter went into one and found signs
04:23:39.240
That's why you have homeless people shitting on the sidewalks in San Francisco and why you have
04:23:44.180
them shitting on the sidewalks in Miami, why you have needles all over the place is because
04:23:48.820
these are literally mentally ill people and you can't do anything with them.
04:23:54.540
I actually do agree with your point that we do need more federally funded mental health
04:24:07.240
You take the VA and every single veteran, you make them tax exempt for life.
04:24:18.100
And the way that you do that is you divert all of these pro-drug policies and the enforcement
04:24:23.460
arm of the pro-drug policies and you hand it over to the veterans.
04:24:30.100
And you make sure that they get the mental health care that they need.
04:24:32.980
And the ones who are not veterans who are sitting in the streets and taking a shit, you lock
04:24:39.120
Well, I will say I agree with your point that we do need better care for veterans.
04:24:46.420
I think that there's needed to be, I think the U.S. health care system is just, it's royally.
04:24:52.420
I do have to move things on a little bit, but that was a great back and forth between you
04:25:00.120
I don't know how the environment, we were, we had homeless, we had environmental issues,
04:25:11.940
I would say that if I have to put a label on it, I feel like the only way that we're going
04:25:17.600
to reach systemic change is by collective action.
04:25:23.260
I'm someone who advocates for bipartisan climate solutions.
04:25:26.220
And when you say collective action, do you mean like on an individual level, like we shouldn't
04:25:36.000
So I'm talking about the diffusion of innovation theory.
04:25:38.800
So essentially it states that you have early adopters, right?
04:25:43.620
And in order to create a new social convention, which is when the majority of society adopts
04:25:49.000
a new idea and it becomes just like taught practice, it's passed along through generations
04:25:53.260
and it becomes a part of our societal institutions, you need at least 50% of the population to embrace
04:26:00.280
So what would be, I mean, are you looking on the individual level that people need to make
04:26:05.800
I think that people individually should be making changes.
04:26:08.840
I don't think it's the responsibility of the individuals.
04:26:12.700
I think that it will be taking the work of individuals and also larger corporations.
04:26:17.520
So what is like an action on the individual level that we should be doing to lessen the
04:26:27.480
I actually really appreciate you asking this question.
04:26:29.940
This is, I think this is something that I personally do and it's such an easy fix.
04:26:37.580
It's such an easy quick that you can make and it's environmentally friendly.
04:26:40.380
It takes so much unnecessary energy in order to heat the water to go to your laundry room.
04:26:45.860
I want everyone at this single table, start washing your clothes with cold water.
04:26:51.520
Studies have shown that it's just as effective.
04:27:01.900
You won't have to buy clothes as often because they're not fading.
04:27:09.420
Plastic usage, I will say, okay, it's very, very hard to undercut plastic usage just because
04:27:15.060
literally everything comes in a plastic container, right?
04:27:19.700
When I go to the grocery store, I try to bring like reusable produce bags and I try to bring
04:27:30.180
And I don't think any of us should be like holding ourselves to these impossible standards.
04:27:35.300
But I think there are like little things that you can take that do make a difference.
04:27:55.160
Three, four years ago, I was on a date with a girl.
04:27:57.920
I brought this, not this exact bottle, but it used to actually be, it used to be called
04:28:06.460
In any case, I brought a water bottle just like this onto a first date with a girl and
04:28:13.900
I don't think it was a perfect fit, but at the end of the date, as we were about to leave
04:28:17.660
and she made a statement about you shouldn't, this was, this was one of the most peculiar
04:28:28.100
She went on this rant, like she was upset at me for having brought a plastic, I'm not
04:28:40.620
So I went on the first date and she was kind of eyeing it the whole time and she's like,
04:28:42.980
Brian, you shouldn't have brought a, uh, a plastic water bottle.
04:28:50.880
And I was wondering to myself if that was the reason why the whole date, she was a little
04:28:54.820
bit on edge because I brought a plastic water bottle and she, her tone when she confronted
04:28:59.980
me on this, mind you, the date was pretty much over.
04:29:02.280
She was like, last thing, you know, one last, I just, before we go, I want to tell you this.
04:29:18.740
She was getting mad at you for having the plastic water bottle.
04:29:21.120
So, uh, I mean, and so I actually reversed it on her and I was like, well, what kind of
04:29:28.960
I know that you're wearing makeup that comes in plastic containers.
04:29:31.940
Would you be willing to cease your makeup usage for the betterment of the environment?
04:29:35.760
So I guess my question kind of jumping off the, off of that is, do you, would you be willing
04:29:43.280
to make a commitment right now if we're, if, if I'm willing, I will promise you for all
04:29:49.840
my washes, I will only use cold water if you are willing to stop buying and wearing makeup.
04:29:57.080
Well, there's actually makeup that you can buy that uses reusable containers.
04:30:01.880
See, like when I'm getting makeup, I buy refills.
04:30:12.760
How did they test to make sure it was safe for human consumption?
04:30:20.380
So the materials that are fine, it's in the paper biodegradable container.
04:30:25.920
Although I suspect probably most of your makeup isn't, but maybe some is.
04:30:29.960
So the actual makeup itself is made up of like, you know, they, I heard about this thing called
04:30:37.780
And it's frequently in various, I don't know what specifically it's in, but foundation.
04:30:48.000
And, you know, then you obviously have to transport these raw materials.
04:30:53.460
And then once the, this makeup is manufactured in some other country, a lot of these makeup
04:30:59.660
products are not manufactured in the United States.
04:31:04.960
And then, you know, they're burning bunker fuel in these cargo ships, which is, which is
04:31:13.700
So I guess, would you be willing to, I suppose there are some makeup products that are less
04:31:19.300
impactful than others, but ultimately there's still an impact.
04:31:22.340
So if I'm willing to, if I'm prepared to say, okay, I'll start washing with water.
04:31:26.700
Will you commit right now to no longer wear makeup for the rest of your life?
04:31:32.220
And I'm going to go back to your story about the water bottle.
04:31:35.740
I think that you should be able to use your plastic water bottle, right?
04:31:38.960
If I was that girl, I don't think I would have shunned you like that.
04:31:42.000
I buy plastic water bottles every now and then, but you know what I do instead?
04:31:46.060
I'll refill them with water later in case I don't have a water bottle.
04:31:56.200
When I ask you to, no, here's my logic behind it.
04:31:59.440
When I ask you, you should, when I tell you, you should be washing your clothes with only
04:32:10.180
Or is that just you flipping a switch on the washer, pressing start and nothing in your
04:32:16.000
I would have to look into, there could be an argument that could be made.
04:32:21.820
I haven't researched arguments when it comes to laundry, but there could be, couldn't there
04:32:31.340
Couldn't there be some argument that, I can't believe I'm arguing this, that washing things
04:32:36.800
at a higher heat has a better, uh, like, um, what's the word?
04:32:42.460
Like if there's bacteria or something, it has a bigger impact there.
04:32:46.760
Because hot water has been proven to kill germs better.
04:33:07.520
You could just work, you could just work in a farm or something like this and have soiled
04:33:17.940
It'd be a very simple change, but like, I guess what utility does wearing makeup serve?
04:33:33.760
A lot of days I'm just too lazy and like, it's not...
04:33:37.340
And if anyone wears it every single day, that's nothing against...
04:33:41.880
If no one decides to wear it, individual choice.
04:33:44.780
What my argument here is that I make swaps for the climate in ways that are just like
04:33:53.260
But I'm not holding myself to this crazy standard and I would never hold anyone else
04:33:57.000
to this where like, you have to do everything environmentally friendly.
04:34:00.100
Because I think you're going to kill yourself trying to just do that.
04:34:06.340
Like, I wouldn't expect you to do everything perfectly.
04:34:09.900
Like, that's my logic with it is like, you make the swaps when you can, but I'm not asking
04:34:15.000
you to only use cold water if you're arguing about the soiling.
04:34:21.420
If you so happen to shit your pants, be my guest to use hot water on your clothes.
04:34:29.940
But I'm not asking you to make all of these swaps.
04:34:34.160
Okay, so I guess what I'm trying to get at, you made a call to action.
04:34:37.280
You're like, hey, everybody at the table, start washing your clothes with cold water.
04:34:42.340
And I'm making a call to action to you to make your own commitment to no longer wearing makeup.
04:34:51.800
But are you willing to accept this call to action?
04:34:58.340
I'm going to do better research, and I'm going to use makeup that has better environmental benefits.
04:35:03.700
So there's makeup that you can get that's like refills of tints, so you're not buying
04:35:08.900
There's makeup with more eco-friendly packaging, makeup that's ethically sourced.
04:35:15.900
I do appreciate you wanting to make these changes.
04:35:20.500
I think if you, as a person, want to make those appeals to other people, that's great.
04:35:26.560
The issue I come across with, generally when this conversation comes up, is when it's
04:35:34.060
So when it's legislated by the government, it's regardless of any data, regardless of
04:35:39.480
any personal beliefs, regardless of what you think about the subject, we are mandating
04:35:50.640
But if it's for the better of, like, having, living on the planet longer...
04:35:56.300
Well, so to Andrew's point, the climate is an extremely complicated piece of, you could
04:36:22.320
For 100% climate change, from my perspective, it's not the official whatever podcast stance.
04:36:34.360
It's a grab-and-go scam designed specifically for a bunch of politicians and lobbyists to
04:36:40.640
pass climate change legislation so that giant megalocorporations can do a hapless cash grab.
04:36:47.780
That's exactly what's been going on since the 1980s.
04:36:51.420
Back in the 60s and 70s, they were saying global cooling is coming to destroy us all.
04:37:07.420
I can show you prediction after prediction of climate experts claiming that within the
04:37:12.340
next two years, we'll never be able to bring it back.
04:37:14.860
And every single time the predictions are wrong, we are not facing any sort of extinction
04:37:33.480
I mean, just kind of going off of what Andrew's explaining, like where's the hole in the ozone
04:37:40.300
Where's the deforestation that was peddled by a bunch of different lobbying groups?
04:37:46.460
Actually, the earth right now has more foliage than it did like 20 years ago by a great deal.
04:37:52.200
So, I mean, we don't see these things actually coming to pass.
04:37:58.620
Every single time they've made a prediction, it's going the opposite direction.
04:38:13.900
Wisen up and realize that you're being trained to be another mindless sheep by boomers who
04:38:19.940
I actually do want to address this because I really appreciate you raising this point.
04:38:23.980
I actually did IB in high school, so I came in with two years' worth of college credit.
04:38:29.160
So, I'm graduating a year early, and I only have five grand of student debt, and I'm going
04:38:34.000
to be paying that off within three years, and then I'm going to go to grad school debt-free.
04:38:38.580
So, thank you for asking about my financial situation.
04:38:44.700
Bill Nye noted that in the audience's lifetime, the percentage of the atmosphere that is carbon
04:38:52.400
dioxide, the prominent greenhouse gas causing global warming, has increased from 0.03% to
04:39:13.360
So, to bring it back, we were talking about the bear thing.
04:39:20.140
You were in the bathroom doing, like, a stick-and-poke tattoo or something.
04:39:27.220
Would you rather come across a random man or a random bear in the woods?
04:39:35.440
I'd like to hear the reasons why, starting with you.
04:39:44.500
So, usually, if they attack, they're probably threatened.
04:39:47.420
Human beings, we have the ability to critically and logically think.
04:39:52.460
So, anything a human does is significantly worse.
04:39:55.280
I am much more easily going to forgive a bear for mauling a human being than I will a man for hitting a woman.
04:40:01.240
Men are more dangerous because we have a moral compass.
04:40:13.880
But this is assuming that in both instances, this is doing a comparison where the man attacks the woman and the bear attacks the woman.
04:40:23.380
This is assuming that in all scenarios, this woman is going to be attacked.
04:40:30.200
Again, I would rather, I would forgive the bear a lot easier than I would forgive the human.
04:40:35.680
So, what does that have anything to do with making a risk assessment of which one is more likely to attack you?
04:40:43.460
Because that is essentially what this question begs.
04:40:49.120
Let me get everybody's justification before I give my take.
04:41:00.200
So, I think, yes, you are in the forest, but I'm confused.
04:41:07.960
I'm assuming I wouldn't see a bear in my house or anything like that.
04:41:13.160
Like, if it's more secluded, then I would probably buy the bear more.
04:41:21.580
Well, so, if we're going to make considerations, if we're making considerations for where we're going to see the bear,
04:41:26.380
who are the type of men you're generally going to see in the forest?
04:41:28.940
Dudes who are just going camping, kind of, like, want to ignore society.
04:41:33.780
Like, they're kind of just chill guys doing bro stuff.
04:41:37.820
Like, if you're going to run across a guy in the forest, it's probably going to be a dude that's kind of just a normal guy.
04:41:44.440
So, if we're going to make those considerations for the bear, we should make those considerations for the guys.
04:41:50.220
For the past two months, I already had my weird, creepy, not good things with men, and I'd rather trust the bear right now over men.
04:42:02.160
So, you had bad personal experiences in your own life.
04:42:06.360
Ergo, you'd rather be in a forest alone with a bear versus a man.
04:42:10.460
Brian, I've actually changed my opinion on this.
04:42:16.900
My opinion is I totally side with the bear now because I will tell you why.
04:42:24.060
The bear is satisfied with a good meal, the woman gets to accurately play the victim, and the man has no, there's no ill will on his side.
04:42:45.780
The flaw is that after all of the bitching, whining, and screaming from this woman who was mauled by a bear due to her own stupidity,
04:42:52.780
some man's going to have to go out there and put the bear down.
04:42:59.980
So I just spent the last, like, four days up in Keene Canyon and Sequoia, and, yes, I was hiking out with bears,
04:43:06.200
and I was at a river, and I went swimming, and there was a bear, like, 50 yards away.
04:43:17.380
But when you see a man on the trail, you go, like...
04:43:26.640
Did the man chase you down and then attack you?
04:43:34.580
You took an action, but it doesn't mean that, like, nothing happened.
04:43:40.300
But the point is that you don't know what that person's thinking, right?
04:43:43.420
When you sit there and you pass the bear in the woods...
04:43:48.740
The bear is predictable because it acts off of instinct.
04:43:51.040
Humans can sit there, and they can pass you, and then they can come behind you and, like,
04:43:54.780
Well, then let me ask you a question, just to be...
04:43:57.880
Because you can predict bear behavior, and you're obviously very skilled at the prediction
04:44:04.140
If you were to, do you think, walk up to 50 random men and pat them on the head, or 50 random
04:44:10.740
bears and pat them on the head, which one do you think would be more likely to fucking
04:44:25.260
You walk right over, and you just go and pat it on its fucking head.
04:44:31.520
The man's in his natural habitat when you walk over and pat them on the head.
04:44:33.240
The man says that human beings are more dangerous than bears.
04:44:40.640
You would agree that men are in their natural habitat.
04:44:43.940
If you find one in a city or you find one in the country, they're in their natural habitat.
04:44:49.140
And if you walked over and you were to pat just random men on the head versus random
04:44:54.880
bears on the head, which one do you think would be more likely to viciously attack you
04:45:01.260
Probably the bear, but that's why you don't be stupid.
04:45:08.000
It would be pretty stupid to take a gamble with a bear.
04:45:11.080
You seem like you'd be far more comfortable patting random men.
04:45:14.840
Touching random men without their permission seems to be well within your comfort level
04:45:21.800
Mufferability and predictability is different, though.
04:45:23.760
You don't bother a bear the way you bother men.
04:45:25.700
I get where you're going with this, but it's more about, like, I think you're trying to
04:45:35.900
Yes, I'm saying because any animal acts off of instinct, it's easy to predict their next
04:45:43.440
Human beings, you can't predict their next move.
04:45:49.940
You can't predict the moves of a wild bear, really?
04:45:52.860
No, yeah, that's, I mean, I'm an outdoorsman as well.
04:46:02.700
They can manipulate you into thinking that they might eat you and then they won't?
04:46:09.340
It is either I'm going to kill you, I'm going to eliminate this new threat, or I'm going
04:46:21.120
Most of them are like, hey, I'm going to say hi to you, or I'm going to ignore you.
04:46:32.260
So there are far less negative outcomes with the man than there are the bear.
04:46:37.720
Or are you going to go for, I know for sure more what the bear is going to do?
04:46:43.700
I know for sure that the bear is either going to avoid me or murder me.
04:46:49.660
I'm much more likely to take the chance with the guy, because there are more options than
04:46:57.000
That's how most serial killers get away with shit.
04:47:03.380
Generally speaking, that's probably not going to happen.
04:47:09.980
The bear, if it's hungry enough, it's like, hey, that thing's smaller than me.
04:47:20.540
They don't have too many thoughts in their head.
04:47:25.040
And I've been around a lot of bears from the Appalachia to up north California to fucking Alaska.
04:47:29.400
If you want to understand the concept, though, it comes from a place.
04:47:34.680
What bears have you been around in the Appalachians?
04:47:39.300
What bears were you running into in the Appalachians?
04:48:00.380
I literally have a selfie with me and a bear in the back.
04:48:21.140
Okay, so how many men do you think you've just walked past without incidents?
04:48:27.520
Hundreds of thousands, tens of thousands throughout the whole course of your life?
04:48:39.480
I'm not doubting that a man or some men in your life have hurt you.
04:48:44.240
That's probably where that answer really comes from.
04:48:49.080
How many hours of your life have you been in proximity to men as compared to proximity to bears?
04:48:56.340
Like, would you say it's you've been in proximity to bears for less than an hour of your life?
04:49:04.360
It's probably on the order of magnitude of that.
04:49:06.280
You said a couple dozen, so you're just kicking it with bears for, like, 30 minutes?
04:49:11.820
Sometimes you just sit there and you watch the bear and you're just like, okay, cool.
04:49:15.840
If we're chalking it down to just, like, a comparison to a bear, then obviously, yeah, like, this is kind of, like, ridiculous.
04:49:23.060
But the answers that are coming from, like, a bear being more likely to us to be wanting to interact with than a man is coming from other situations that are a little bit more deeper than...
04:49:40.660
My point is that human beings are more dangerous than bears.
04:49:43.600
I'm just trying not to say things I'm not allowed to either at the same time.
04:49:47.220
Yeah, I'm not saying that human beings are less capable of inflicting harm.
04:49:54.220
But on average, men are not going to inflict harm unnecessarily compared to bears.
04:50:02.060
They're just going to do what they want to do regardless.
04:50:12.120
That all of those walls have to be crossed by a man, but for a bear to want to maul you, it's, like, one or two.
04:50:19.720
That's why I say it's significantly easier to forgive a bear than it is...
04:50:28.760
I would rather be mauled by a bear than hurt by a bear.
04:50:40.640
Have you ever seen a woman's reaction to a spider?
04:50:49.900
Can I add a little follow-up question to the bear talk, keeping on the subject of bear talk?
04:50:58.580
You're walking through a forest, and you can see one of the three following things.
04:51:13.420
I don't think there's any right or wrong answer.
04:51:19.020
I would choose a man because a woman can't help me.
04:51:22.360
I would trust in a man more than I would trust in a woman.
04:51:27.780
I'm a firm believer if you can't get out of the woods by yourself, you don't deserve to get out of the woods.
04:51:41.200
If I was in the woods, how I kind of view it is that...
04:51:45.980
Now, are you one of those people who would be able to get out of the woods yourself?
04:51:49.220
Yeah, I just spent the last four days in the fucking woods.
04:51:52.200
Can you tell me how you make a fire in the woods?
04:52:05.860
Just walk me through how you would make a fire in the woods.
04:52:14.100
And then what happens when you rub two sticks together?
04:52:20.660
But you would have to combust something, right?
04:52:24.340
Yeah, so why don't you walk me through, without being snarky,
04:52:27.360
actually walk me through how you would start a fire in the woods by yourself.
04:52:30.200
What does having to start a fire have to do with anything?
04:52:38.620
You're the person who's going to make it out of these woods.
04:52:46.180
when you don't have anything to make a fire with.
04:53:02.660
But you would be one of the ones who got out of the woods, right?
04:53:06.580
Wait, why don't you feel like answering the question?
04:53:35.980
I do not feel like having this conversation right now.
04:53:38.760
You're triggered over the making fire conversation?
04:53:46.260
I will die in the woods, cold and alone, happy.
04:53:57.500
I mean, you were so into the conversation five seconds ago, and then suddenly, I don't
04:54:08.520
In your pre-show notes, you said, you're incorrect about the bear debate, and if it is still a
04:54:14.420
topic of conversation when I come on the show, I would love to come on and tell you
04:54:26.280
I brought up the bear debate precisely because...
04:54:28.280
I already told you, I prefer to pick the bear, and I said, I'm a firm believer, if you can't
04:54:32.720
make it out alive by yourself, then you don't deserve to make it out alive.
04:54:36.280
But you also said you would be one of the ones who did.
04:54:41.680
So, you wouldn't be one of the ones who would make it out of the woods?
04:54:45.960
But you're holding yourself out to be some, like, survivalist, and he's asking you a basic
04:54:56.280
Okay, well, she doesn't want to answer the fire question.
04:55:05.440
You take two sticks, and you rub them together.
04:55:20.560
You also, I mean, we touched on the bullet thing, the whole protection thing.
04:55:23.900
In your pre-show notes, you said, you're also wrong about men not dying for, slash, or protecting
04:55:32.040
Yes, women do need to be, parentheses, a lot better.
04:55:36.500
There is definitely a pattern of absent fathers and harsh women.
04:55:40.120
However, men shoving off their protector-provider responsibility is the reason women have had
04:55:44.860
to step up in those roles, making women more masculine, slash, I don't need a man feminist.
04:55:49.600
The reason women are the way they are now is because boys are not growing up into men,
04:55:53.940
but rather staying in a Peter Pan, never grow up state because the women have taken over
04:56:00.340
A lot of these men out here are still sucking on...
04:56:07.040
This is also the reason so many of the young men are depressed because they don't feel they
04:56:12.100
If we as a society bring back strong masculine men and not the fake, I want to control my woman
04:56:17.220
type of masculinity, there's a lot of that, women would fall in line with much less resistance.
04:56:30.940
I don't know if you had any additions, addendums, amendments.
04:56:40.660
Okay, well, I'll ask you a couple questions then.
04:56:42.520
You said, not the fake, I want to control my woman type of masculinity.
04:56:48.060
Oh, there's a lot of men who sit there and they act like they're masculine just so they
04:56:57.080
No, they sit there and they tell her what she can and can't do as if she's like a helpless...
04:57:03.040
Okay, so what about, I'm dating a girl and I say, I don't want you going out to bars
04:57:14.140
Okay, so, I mean, what would be a controlling thing then?
04:57:17.400
Saying that you can't like, I don't know, go out with your family or some shit.
04:57:21.340
Like that's the kind of shit like my ex used to say.
04:57:23.900
He wouldn't let me, yeah, he wouldn't let me go out with my family because he was a racist.
04:57:28.080
Well, now we're talking about something kind of different.
04:57:31.080
That's the controlling aspect that I'm, a lot of men I have met are like that.
04:57:55.680
So, I can just disregard every single thing you say.
04:58:00.980
I'm going to call it the septum piercing razor.
04:58:05.720
She who has a septum piercing, you can just disregard all the shit she says.
04:58:19.320
And I actually, Andrew, I think you'll like this one.
04:58:21.640
There's also, Andrew, you and me, we've tangled with a couple women who, on their Instagram, some of them are OF girls, on their Instagram or their Twitter, there's photos of them with a substance on their face.
04:59:02.780
One's opinion can be dismissed should one have a photo of them with jizz on their face.
04:59:11.960
You can just dismiss anybody, you can dismiss their, any assertions or opinions they have if you have a photo, man or a woman.
04:59:20.320
This is an answer, Brian doesn't know this, but this is the age old answer to the, what is called the genetic fallacy.
04:59:27.480
And the genetic fallacy is when you essentially say that the argument isn't valid due to the source of the argument itself.
04:59:41.440
So, if the source has jizz on its face, you can instantly dismiss it as being invalid and it invalidates the genetic fallacy.
04:59:53.640
This is the Atlas response to the genetic fallacy.
04:59:58.260
And by the way, this isn't like a sexist thing.
05:00:00.140
If a guy has a photo with spunk on his face, you can also dismiss his, huh?
05:00:11.040
You can't just assert that, you know, if somebody had that on their face at one time, there needs to be evidence.
05:00:25.800
By the way, this is now, we're going to refer to this as the Coombe Clause, which invalidates the genetic fallacy from here on out.
05:00:38.440
Anyways, but don't you think it's a little, you know, don't you think it's a little, this whole bear thing, you know, a little discriminant, a little bias, a little anti-man bias.
05:00:53.460
You didn't understand the part, like the point I was trying to make at all?
05:00:57.040
Like the, it keeps coming up that we keep saying bear or most of us, at least because of the experiences we've individually had with.
05:01:10.980
Obviously, I don't want to interact with the bear.
05:01:12.440
So let's just change, let's change up this scenario then.
05:01:17.920
Have you ever had a bad experience with someone who's part of a racial group?
05:01:30.900
I'm not saying because they're part of that racial group.
05:01:33.240
But let's say you had a bad experience with someone who happened to be part of a racial group.
05:01:45.060
Would that then be pretext for having a negative bias towards the racial group?
05:01:50.720
So why is it okay then to have a negative bias towards the male group?
05:01:57.000
Like, in my case, I'm not thinking of it as it just being the man that I wouldn't.
05:02:03.800
No, but you're saying we've had bad experience with men.
05:02:10.260
Like, no, but realistically, it could have been a man or a woman.
05:02:13.260
But if you make that same argument against a racial group, would it be sexist?
05:02:21.100
It could be that racist man or a woman that could.
05:02:23.820
But would you then be racist if you said, because I had a bad experience with a person who's part of this group,
05:02:41.740
I could be totally, like, not catching on to what you're saying.
05:02:51.200
You said because of my past bad experiences with men, I don't feel safe around men.
05:03:11.620
Okay, so would you rather be alone in the forest with a woman or a bear?
05:03:28.180
I've been treated weirdly by women just as much as I have by men different ways.
05:03:39.500
It's not sexist to be more afraid of men over bears.
05:03:45.780
Because, I mean, if you, you're, you'll say bear now just because, but like, no, you're
05:03:55.700
Because I know every girl sitting at this table has had a friend in their life that was
05:04:00.020
their friend who is no longer their friend because that particular girl did them so dirty
05:04:04.080
or did them something terrible or started some terrible thing in their life.
05:04:08.980
But you will, you're not going to hold that against a girl and you're going to be like,
05:04:22.100
Lady, stop trying to bring up your traumatized past just so you can say it's too traumatic to
05:04:40.620
So somebody rightly brought up in my chat that we'll call it the genetic material fallacy.
05:04:55.720
Ladies, you are alone in a lake, let's say Florida.
05:04:59.580
Would you rather come across a man or in 12-foot alligator?
05:05:27.420
If it comes down to any wild animal, it's going to be me?
05:05:34.100
If it comes down to any wild animal, I'm going to always pick a man.
05:05:47.220
She picked the bear, but she switched the alligator.
05:06:14.440
I have a lucky you tattoo, tattooed right above my Hunana.
05:06:31.900
Oh, for the love of all that is good, please don't defend any argument.
05:06:40.840
To reiterate what he said last time, yes, we all know.
05:06:53.020
You said that your first relationship was with a drug dealer?
05:07:03.540
I was like, we kind of touched base on that a little bit.
05:07:07.240
I just kind of brought it up again because you guys have the question about the dating experience.
05:07:14.440
Yeah, it was the term, I think, when Jake used.
05:07:25.820
Well, no, because you looked at him all weird, so I thought maybe I got them confused or something.
05:07:32.340
Alpha widowed is basically where you end up dating somebody and they fuck you up so bad that you don't date again.
05:07:55.500
I've been single for about two and a half years now.
05:08:01.220
I've been celibate for eight or nine months now?
05:08:08.300
I got off birth control, so that's also a big reason why.
05:08:13.580
Well, no, because I'm saying I don't feel comfortable right now having sex with somebody that I'm not in an intimate relationship or committed relationship with not being on birth control.
05:08:34.380
Even being on birth control, I'm that person that would still have fear of getting pregnant.
05:08:49.720
Because you mentioned the Alpha Widow thing again in your pre-show notes.
05:08:53.400
I said basically that I felt I was officially out of that scenario now because recently I found out he has knocked up a third woman that he's not with.
05:09:09.780
So I was like, I've really got to start questioning the type of men I'm into.
05:09:19.080
Actually, bear probably procreate more than a man would.
05:09:33.900
And this guy with the new baby mama, he's the bio dad?
05:09:54.980
Going back to you, you said that there's this...
05:10:00.980
There was this one dude who didn't know what the third pedal in my car was for.
05:10:04.880
You have never yelled GTFO so fast before in my life.
05:10:13.220
He hopped in my car and he was like, why do you have three pedals?
05:10:20.820
He was 28 years old and he didn't know what a stick shift was.
05:10:23.100
I told him to get the fuck out for the lack of knowledge.
05:10:26.560
How are you 28 years old and not know what a stick shift is?
05:10:29.640
No, you're a human and not know what a stick shift is.
05:10:32.220
It's kind of a little ridiculous he didn't know what it was, but like, you blew up the
05:10:51.800
You're an ass-kicking Forrest fire-starting chick.
05:10:54.340
I was just curious if you also knew how to drive a stick shift.
05:11:13.520
Like, I don't want to be more masculine than a man.
05:11:16.980
And if you don't know how to drive a stick shift, then like, that's little bitch behavior.
05:11:20.120
It's a bitch behavior to not know how to drive a stick shift?
05:11:22.900
I don't know about not know how to drive a stick shift.
05:11:42.040
I mean, I could have guessed that base off his age.
05:11:56.820
Driving stick is so much better than an automatic car.
05:12:07.420
I don't know where you came up with the idea it's better.
05:12:23.860
Yeah, by the way, that 95 you're talking about is a motorcycle.
05:12:32.680
So, on a foreign car, how do you pop a stick shift in reverse?
05:12:37.880
On a foreign car, how do you pop a stick shift in reverse?
05:12:53.800
How would you go in reverse in a foreign clutch?
05:12:56.260
You ain't a woman if you haven't driven a foreign clutch.
05:12:59.140
You ain't a woman if you haven't driven a foreign clutch.
05:12:59.200
You ain't a woman if you haven't driven a foreign clutch.
05:13:04.980
My point is, I don't want to be more masculine than my man.
05:13:11.360
You just swing it over to the R, and you just let off that clutch, and it goes for you.
05:13:21.680
By the way, if you know, on a foreign car, you always have to pop down before you go in reverse,
05:13:30.620
You have to put the stick down or pull something up, and then you can shift it in reverse.
05:13:36.640
A man needs to learn how to drive a stick shift, yes.
05:13:39.020
And you should also be able to back up a vehicle without looking in the fucking rear view camera.
05:13:43.640
If you can't back up your car without looking in the stupid camera, get out.
05:13:58.960
I can use the side view mirrors to back in, but the rear view camera is so nice.
05:14:19.040
Isn't there like an equivalent quality about women that like is like, oh, if she doesn't
05:14:24.760
What's that old school fucking laundry thing where the chicks are scrubbing the fucking...
05:14:35.860
She ain't a real woman if she ain't scrubbing the laundry like this.
05:15:01.960
Have you ever taken anything out when you're backing up a trailer?
05:15:13.020
And in a 10 footer, have you ever taken anything out?
05:15:25.960
Yeah, if you can't back up a 12 foot trailer, what the hell?
05:15:32.500
The only way to back up a trailer is to have your dad yelling at you from the side.
05:15:48.840
She's not a real woman if she doesn't make her own bread yeast.
05:15:55.560
Yeah, I thought there was going to be, like, oh, I have an old Ford pickup truck.
05:16:14.080
I really thought she was going to say, like, Bronco, for sure.
05:16:30.740
I was thinking at least you'd say Bronco or something older.
05:17:07.900
And then you told him to get the fuck out of your car?
05:17:21.060
What if there's an emergency and this dude needs to, like, drive my vehicle or something?
05:17:29.560
Your foot comes off the clutch and the car stalls.
05:17:33.660
What if there's an emergency and, like, that's the only vehicle around?
05:17:37.040
He needs to go to, like, the hospital or something because someone lost an arm.
05:17:43.660
What if there's a zombie apocalypse and it grabs your fucking little sternum piercing and you're dead, bro?
05:17:48.720
What fucking grabs your sternum piercing, you're trying, you're running, you're running, you're trying to escape.
05:17:54.120
And then the zombie, sorry, septum piercing, sternum.
05:17:57.820
The zombie, you would have got away, you would have got away, but the zombie grabs your fucking septum piercing and then you're dead.
05:18:05.420
And you would be no use to your male partner in a zombie survival situation.
05:18:13.460
I kind of, I'm kind of, I got to walk back my position a little bit here.
05:18:17.020
Because I expect when I go on, if, if I go on a first date with a girl and she doesn't hit me with a bow or a curtsy or a curtsy upon first meeting, I'm also going to dip.
05:18:33.280
You did not know that you had to have this knowledge that I knew that I didn't disclose to you.
05:18:39.420
I'm sorry, I didn't sit there and tell men they need to be men.
05:18:43.060
I can't believe you kicked a guy out of your Mazda.
05:19:06.920
And you're going to let that woman die for you?
05:19:43.560
Look at the hands in the, the, the, the, the submissive hands in the palms.
05:20:00.640
If, if you didn't even tell her you wanted her to bow, she just bowed for you.
05:20:03.980
First time she saw you, you would let that woman die.
05:20:12.480
I don't understand why she has a bowl of tomatoes sitting there.
05:20:23.160
So there's a lot of, I've seen this video a bunch of times now.
05:20:26.120
And now there's things in it now that bother me, which makes me think that the bow might
05:20:31.740
not be as authentic as we think the bow should be.
05:20:37.620
So first there's a bowl of tomato and they're not like little tiny salad tomatoes.
05:20:48.560
You don't eat like a whole tomato, you don't do, does your wife have a garden?
05:20:53.500
Do you like not go out to the garden, like eat a whole tomato?
05:20:58.820
You just walk out and just grab the tomato off the plant and eat it?
05:21:04.320
Do you burn the rest of the crop because it wasn't masculine enough for you?
05:21:10.120
Well, they take the best from the crop and burn the rest.
05:21:12.900
And then I get my Mazda and I go, you know, like what, what are you talking about?
05:21:17.580
If a woman isn't woman enough to die in childbirth for me, is she really a, wait, hold on.
05:21:26.280
That's a little, hold on, that's a little crazy.
05:21:28.320
Well, the bowing was eccentric, but the rest of it was really.
05:21:31.900
Anybody been like watching House of the Dragon, you know what I mean?
05:21:50.260
I've had even more terrible, like, interactions than I've had back years.
05:21:56.380
Like, I know we're joking, but you're absolutely 100% in the wrong.
05:22:09.540
No, you actually are, like, you know, jokes aside, you're 100% in the wrong.
05:22:25.540
Do you want to, I want you to look into that camera and apologize to that guy.
05:22:32.460
I will not apologize for your incompetence as a man.
05:22:46.800
Once I return a lady's debit card, she had dropped.
05:22:50.520
When I approached her, she started freaking out and yelled for help.
05:23:05.440
Yeah, it's just not man enough to steal a woman's money.
05:23:11.940
He's going to pick up that car and he stole that bitch's money, right?
05:23:25.200
If, if this guy was perfect, but he didn't know how to drive a stick, is it you wouldn't?
05:23:41.580
So, what if you could just, you could teach him, but he had everything else.
05:23:43.960
People in the DMV are like the worst drivers in the world.
05:23:46.600
So, it absolutely irks my nerve if you can't like drive a car properly or.
05:24:00.200
So, you're saying, you're saying you want a masculine man, right?
05:24:09.100
Bro, you, I'm going to, like, just your, look, I know you've been invited on a podcast where we have these adversarial things.
05:24:15.040
But, like, you're definitely pretty, in terms of your disposition, pretty masculine, blasting tattoos, backwards cap, septum piercing.
05:24:24.460
I mean, these are not, like, traditionally feminine traits.
05:24:48.300
I was literally raised around sailors and marines my whole entire life.
05:24:52.360
And they kind of, like, taught me a lot, which I should not know how to do.
05:24:59.920
What did they teach you how to do that you shouldn't know how to do?
05:25:05.620
They definitely taught me how to smoke cigars and drink whiskey at the age of, like, 18.
05:25:12.940
They sat me down and they were like, this is how you do this.
05:25:15.040
I thought you were going to tell us some badass special forces stuff.
05:25:17.480
They taught you how to disassemble an M16 while you were blindfolded.
05:25:23.960
They taught you how to use Marine Corps Jiu-Jitsu to break all their legs.
05:25:47.920
You said they taught you a bunch of stuff you shouldn't know.
05:25:51.080
They taught me how to take apart guns and all sorts of things.
05:26:19.200
Okay, so what you do is you, like, take the thing apart and then you're done.
05:26:30.680
But the thing is, I'll just tell you the process.
05:26:45.760
You just don't want to, like, just be like, ah, I was wrong.
05:26:57.320
So you can't actually, on your own, take apart a sick, can you?
05:27:10.000
You put a YouTube video on and you follow the stuff.
05:27:18.060
What you do is you take the plug out and then you put oil in.
05:27:28.500
Whatever the, that similar explanation to taking down the sick, I will accept something
05:27:33.300
You take off the other part and then you take off the third part.
05:27:37.040
You take off the part and then you take off the other part and then you take off the
05:27:41.520
It's like when you unplug the thing and then you just put oil in.
05:27:50.040
I take it to the man at the place and the man at the place does that.
05:27:57.460
But, okay, so, I mean, how do you reconcile, how do you reconcile wanting a super traditional
05:28:03.400
dude, but you're not really bringing, like, a corresponding degree of femininity?
05:28:11.000
Because every single man I've ever had has been very well taken care of.
05:28:21.500
Like, along the lines of, like, domestication things.
05:28:28.980
So, you have a choice between a woman who has, like, sort of a pleasant feminine disposition
05:28:35.260
and personality, but she doesn't do some of these household chores, or a woman who has
05:28:42.700
a masculine personality and disposition, but she does the sort of domestic duties.
05:29:12.920
Because I could just hire somebody to, like, clean the household.
05:29:35.760
You also said that there was this guy you went on two dates with, and I told him I didn't
05:29:39.820
see things working out, but he was fully convinced he was in love with me.
05:29:46.200
He followed you around for about five to six months.
05:29:49.660
Also, leaving you voicemails and texts until you, in parentheses, no, wait.
05:30:03.280
How did you allegedly, in a video game, threaten him?
05:30:06.860
How did you, in a video game, how did you do it?
05:30:14.940
Well, if I were going to Thutton, anybody, I would probably, allegedly.
05:30:19.480
If I were to have done this, probably tell him if I saw him again, I'd cut his kneecaps
05:30:24.000
out and wear them around my neck, like a necklace.
05:30:46.560
What makes you think I'm going to care about yours?
05:31:01.780
Like, I just feel like, have you bent a dude over and just pegged him?
05:31:15.420
No, why would you place good Mason in the middle of this?
05:31:40.840
Like, I bet there's some dudes out there that are questioning their sexuality.
05:31:54.840
Like, you could definitely, like, fulfill a guy's Jay fantasy.
05:32:04.540
The reason I'm masculine is because the man around.
05:32:11.540
So then all of us women have to step up into the man roles.
05:32:16.340
They don't know how to drive a fucking stick ship, Brian.
05:32:21.440
30-year-old men who still live with their moms and dads.
05:32:26.100
Like, bitch, you can't even take care of yourself.
05:32:31.640
Because I know sometimes you just have to do it.
05:32:34.160
Is once you, I feel like, try to take on the man role.
05:32:47.520
Whether, like, you want to say they're, oh, they're not masculine enough.
05:32:52.560
I feel like once you put yourself in a man's role.
05:33:02.960
Because I feel like you, since you put yourself in that role.
05:33:05.500
You're kind of taking on that position that there.
05:33:11.980
I feel like women have a tendency of thinking they're better at things.
05:33:19.320
There are a lot of things that men are better at.
05:33:22.640
I don't know if that's the correct verbiage there.
05:33:26.480
But you make men less masculine when you're almost competing with them.
05:33:49.680
And I've been around that for a very, very long time.
05:33:52.620
I continue to put myself around those type of men.
05:34:02.380
Deal with a guy who doesn't know how to drive to stay.
05:34:07.440
I don't think I understand how much that stresses me out.
05:34:31.800
There's a lot of freaking things that I can do myself.
05:35:31.960
I've been around some of the most masculine men.
05:37:14.060
Someone has to fix my shoes and make me swords.
05:37:44.320
Are you mad because my man is talented and you can't drive a stick shift?
05:37:49.920
Leave her stick shift using smelting farrier gunsmith ninjutsu master future husband alone,
05:38:00.480
I'm just saying like being around many masculine men.
05:38:06.700
You got to know how to drive a fucking Mazda, Brian.
05:38:14.260
Why do I have to sit there and fix my own car and build my own bookcase?
05:38:16.840
But he doesn't necessarily have to know how to fix it.
05:38:18.840
At least he can be like, hey, babe, here's my car.
05:38:21.880
When you build your own bookcases, do you just follow the instructions?
05:38:28.220
Do you just follow the instructions that came in the box from Costco?
05:38:36.820
You sit there and you ask a man, hey, can you put this shelf up?
05:38:43.180
And then this man comes up and says, I don't like it when you do things like that.
05:38:45.540
It doesn't make me feel like I'm the man of the house.
05:38:58.360
Let's say you encounter a super wealthy guy who instead of him having learned all these things,
05:39:06.940
he can just outsource all of that shit to somebody else.
05:39:12.140
But I want someone, is he going to be able to teach my future children how to do all these things?
05:39:17.600
Is he going to teach my boys how to become in, how to do things, how to be self-sufficient?
05:39:19.540
Well, you know, he could send them to a place we call school.
05:39:22.300
And then at these weird, strange 21st century inventions called schools,
05:39:29.100
they could teach them how to do all of that stuff.
05:39:34.240
Well, if you're homeschooling, how come you can't teach your child those things?
05:39:54.120
All he needs to do is teach them how to Google.
05:39:56.920
As long as they can't go to Google, they can build their own fucking show.
05:40:07.420
She can't make me a dog shit sweater during Christmas.
05:40:15.160
If she don't know how to knit, she can't get the dick.
05:40:21.180
What do you mean she can't sew right after she made a five course meal?
05:40:28.540
I went on a date with this chick and she didn't show up with a fucking beanie.
05:40:39.740
I do believe that women should know how to cook and women should know how to garden.
05:40:42.700
She didn't even have a sewing kit in her purse.
05:40:52.940
I have, in that type of like, whatever you're talking about, I have had somebody actually,
05:41:01.220
like a way older man, I asked him to help me build my cabinet thing, whatever.
05:41:21.160
When you like see them and they're like not capable of doing something.
05:41:23.980
And then I'm like, no, there's something wrong and I ended up fixing it.
05:41:28.620
That's why ladies, if you're having a guy over doing some like household projects,
05:41:33.220
make sure he only gets to hit after he completes the job fully.
05:41:45.200
Wait, so for you, you said that men, plural, have gone mad at you because you don't drink
05:41:52.040
I explained to one dude how time and relationship to travel worked.
05:41:55.080
He thought it took two hours to fly from the DMV to Mexico, the country.
05:42:00.980
He was literally like, it only takes two hours to fly from here to Mexico.
05:42:11.040
He was like, well, if you leave at five and you land at seven, that's only two hours.
05:42:14.020
And I was like, how long does it take to get back?
05:42:21.840
You said you've been proposed to a few times on first dates.
05:42:27.320
So they'll like propose to you on the first date.
05:42:37.260
We have Stifler ask everyone to rate their looks on a scale of one to ten.
05:42:40.800
Can't pick seven, starting with our friend Kylie.
05:42:46.300
I'll actually be nice to myself today at seven.
05:43:59.540
If that chick over there is a 10, then I'm a 20.
05:44:10.760
Okay, you guys get my attention for a couple minutes.
05:44:27.240
They pre-cleared it with me before the show, so it's all good.
05:44:43.440
So, you consider yourself, then, the most attractive woman at the table?
05:44:49.140
I mean, not just, like, looks-wise, I guess I would say.
05:45:01.900
I will say, based on looks, I'd pick her for my smash.
05:45:04.300
I don't think they gave themselves enough credit.
05:45:07.820
I said, based off looks, I'd pick her for my smash.
05:45:31.040
I am attracted to tattoos, but I just think she has nice features.
05:45:46.520
So, I don't think we got a question, answer from you, though.
05:45:56.220
I think that everybody kind of, like, downplayed themselves.
05:46:02.180
But, if by default, because of the answer, then, yeah.
05:46:23.560
Well, I mean, I'm just, I'm asking you for your.
05:46:30.240
She has features that, like, I would maybe want to have, like.
05:46:37.380
So, if she's prettier than you, if you're a 10 and 10 is perfect, then what does that
05:46:42.940
It makes her whatever she wants to be, because that's my opinion of myself.
05:46:46.880
You can make whatever kind of sense of it you want, but that has to do with your own
05:46:53.080
I will say, I think a lot of women base this question off how they feel personally about
05:46:58.140
themselves, where I base my answer off how I think other people would rate me, so to
05:47:05.060
speak, I'm not basing it off of necessarily, like, do I think I'm an ugly person?
05:47:14.800
Yeah, like, I don't think I'm better than any of these women.
05:47:17.420
But when I answer that question, I answer it based off what I think other people would
05:47:22.080
view me as, and I think, I think people would view me as no more than a five.
05:47:25.600
So, do you think that the other women are underselling themselves, or that you're overselling
05:47:37.420
I think some oversell themselves, and I think some undersell themselves.
05:47:43.160
Because the thing is, is that I understand that you can say that beauty standards are
05:47:50.340
But if you do say that beauty standards are subjective, but then you rate yourself, you
05:47:53.800
must have some standard that you're applying to yourself, or else you couldn't rate yourself.
05:47:58.820
So, if that is true, and I ask if you're the prettiest girl in the room, and you say no,
05:48:02.920
why then would the other girl rate herself as a five?
05:48:06.100
Either one of you is underselling yourself by your estimation, or you're overselling yourself
05:48:13.940
I could be overselling myself, but I also am keeping in mind the other qualities that
05:48:30.600
Yeah, but wouldn't that be incoherent if it doesn't change?
05:48:33.640
If you think somebody else is prettier than you, and 10 is the perfect mark, and somebody
05:48:38.040
else is higher than the 10 you gave yourself, how could you be being honest with us?
05:48:41.760
I don't really have a good answer for you for that, I guess.
05:48:56.900
So there's no women that are more beautiful, not even just at the table, in the world, there's
05:49:04.760
Well, because obviously you heard my answer about it, I don't think that realistically.
05:49:12.080
Like, I am the most beautiful person ever, and people are underselling themselves in this
05:49:21.720
You're on par with the most beautiful women in the world.
05:49:27.600
That has a lot to do with, like, what I believe.
05:49:35.160
Do you believe that you're on par with the prettiest girls in the world?
05:49:40.600
Yeah, yeah, I've done, I mean, I don't know, that could come, like, from, like, it could
05:49:46.520
That's, hang on, that's fair enough, it's a fair enough answer.
05:49:48.300
I was modeling for a long time, too, so that had to be, like...
05:49:50.980
So let me just ask you then a quick follow-up, after I understand, now that I understand
05:49:55.020
kind of the position, who is the prettiest actress you can think of?
05:50:29.220
Do you have that, like, ranking system for women?
05:50:34.540
The one where, you know, like, men are a 10, men are, like, a 1.
05:50:46.160
I think, Nick, you can just go to true rate me on rate me on Reddit.
05:51:16.800
If you have one, drops a follow in a prime sub.
05:51:24.000
Boys, it's been 28 minutes since we've had a prime sub.
05:51:29.420
I need you guys to drop us a little prime and a follow if you're watching over there on Twitch.
05:51:46.780
I was trying to find it in Shelf when I searched down Reddit, so I'll just pull it out of this.
05:52:03.160
We'll try to wrap up here pretty soon, but I have a couple questions.
05:52:15.800
This is not the bullet, but I got some quick questions.
05:52:35.940
I think we all have this for a moment in our school.
05:53:07.960
Because I don't know the technical terms, so I don't want to mistake it.
05:53:27.740
Yeah, we'll show the, we could show the men too, but yeah.
05:53:34.300
So I disagree with a little bit of some of these.
05:53:37.340
You know, you can move them up, down, whatever.
05:53:39.680
Adrian, these are like the most attractive women.
05:53:43.720
I'm going to downgrade a couple of these, you know what I mean?
05:54:27.840
I think we're going to stop at 2.5 just because then it starts to get mean.
05:55:20.240
More accurately than the assessments made here.
05:55:31.520
I disagree with some of those for sure, but who wanted that?
05:55:39.320
I wanted to see what the skill was in relationship to the people here.
05:55:50.840
I just, I wanted to see what their ranking was to see.
05:55:55.260
Like, honestly, though, I feel like the women here that said there were five whatever's
05:56:00.780
I don't think any woman here is above a six, according to that chart.
05:56:04.600
Oh, you don't think any girl here is above a six?
05:56:05.980
I don't think any girl here is above a six, according to that chart.
05:56:12.640
I meant to, like, the people that are fives are better than fives.
05:56:17.060
I want you to say it to all the women, to their face.
05:56:22.680
I would use subjective, and personally, I was just going off of how I felt secure in
05:56:31.320
I would say everybody here and rate myself differently at a different time in my life,
05:56:46.360
Henry Combsworth is only, like, what's his name?
05:57:27.200
The further you went down, the more I look like the people where I live.
05:57:37.380
I ain't ever met a girl who don't know how to churn butter.
05:57:44.960
I'm going to need to start eating fresh butter.
05:57:51.220
Who is the primary victim of war, men or women?
05:58:06.400
I would say because in the military, it's dominantly men, like men.
05:58:13.540
But if it wasn't, like, based off of gender, I would say it's whoever, like, is injured or killed in combat.
05:58:31.740
Because she already answered these questions last time, so.
05:58:57.440
I'm really going to need you to start just, like, opening up your eyes and, like, just seeing men, obviously.
05:59:19.500
You know, I think if you just gap the eyes a little bit more, you can compensate for your lack of delivery.
05:59:29.680
I mean, I would have done it better, but I'm a man.
05:59:49.440
That one's kind of hard, because women give birth.
06:00:01.120
I really don't have much context behind him, but like...
06:00:03.700
Enduring pain, though, and being stronger are different.
06:00:17.840
On average, men, I think women mentally and emotionally are stronger, though.
06:00:29.240
I think that women are stronger emotionally and mentally, though, on average.
06:00:32.740
Of course, there's like outliers, but on average, men would be physically stronger.
06:00:37.700
Sorry, you said emotionally, and what was the other one?
06:00:43.900
Not necessarily, because I feel like you can't categorize something like that off of gender,
06:00:51.560
Who generally, if you're going to make a generalization, who generally lashes out of emotion?
06:01:03.520
I mean, is there also a hormone factor, like, put into this, though?
06:01:07.300
So, regardless, yeah, I mean, part of being a woman is you have different hormones than men.
06:01:12.200
Yeah, because, I mean, like, I wouldn't want to be aggressive.
06:01:15.000
So, I mean, generally speaking, like, who are more reserved with expressing their emotions, men or women?
06:01:22.600
Men are taught to reserve their emotions, though.
06:01:25.120
But is that just, like, reserve emotion or an aggressive emotion?
06:01:30.260
So, do you want men to not be taught to control their emotions?
06:01:34.640
I want them to be taught to process it in a healthy way.
06:01:51.920
What I'm saying specifically is I feel like, on average, women are taught to regulate their emotions in healthier ways versus men aren't.
06:02:03.520
What do you mean that they're taught to regulate in a healthier way?
06:02:07.640
I think that a lot of times when men experience mental distress, they will not use healthy coping techniques, and they will not talk about it, push it down.
06:02:17.520
Healthy coping techniques, like, when I'm upset, I will talk to my friends.
06:02:25.960
I feel my emotions fully, and then I'm able to move on past it.
06:02:40.060
I think how men and women should deal with their emotions is entirely different because men and women are entirely different.
06:02:47.100
So women show a lot of progress sitting down and just directly chit-chatting with, like, a therapist or somebody else.
06:02:55.120
Men, on average, their mental healing, like, how they work through all this crap is, yeah, we go chop down trees.
06:03:14.360
There was that documentary, that experiment that woman did that committed...
06:03:21.080
Well, so, I mean, how men heal through things might just look differently.
06:03:28.920
Also, the way men control their emotions, it's not because they're taught to do that.
06:03:36.880
Like, men naturally hold things in because they're built that way.
06:03:41.440
Women don't naturally hold things in because they're not built that way.
06:03:45.920
And it's, like, those distinctions are good because you're designed that way.
06:03:51.280
I respect your opinion, but I don't, like, from experience, I don't think that's...
06:04:01.480
And I thank you for explaining to me, too, that, like...
06:04:05.460
Processing, like, how men do it because that is a valid way to process your emotions.
06:04:09.200
Me, personally, I process my emotions best when I'm alone.
06:04:12.360
It's, like, I take alone time, I do something independently, and I'm able to, like, work through
06:04:16.820
Similar to how you're talking about, like, how men will go chop down trees instead of chit-chatting.
06:04:28.280
Women have success dealing with emotional whatever, talking through things, dealing with
06:04:37.980
They deal best through those things by talking through therapy sessions, like, talking those
06:04:45.380
Men generally do better at coping with those things, not through sitting down.
06:04:50.120
Actually, it's shown that if men try to just sit down, talk to a therapist, and deal
06:04:55.560
with those things, like, women do, it doesn't show nearly as much effect as if they would
06:05:02.340
just, like, stand around a lawnmower and fix it together.
06:05:10.180
You start to bring things up, like, as guys do stuff together, as you're, like, doing
06:05:14.520
something, fulfilling an activity, those things might come up.
06:05:18.220
Well, the actual act of doing this manual labor or accomplishing a task is therapeutic
06:05:26.080
So, without even discussing the topic, you can heal all of those things.
06:05:31.460
You know, I'll go have a run in the morning, and I'll feel way better than I would have
06:05:38.180
But, like, I'm just saying, in general, that's how men will heal through things.
06:05:42.180
And, in general, that's how women will heal through things.
06:05:44.280
So, when people come out and say they do not know how to cope, or they do not know how
06:05:49.640
to heal, maybe they just don't heal the way you do.
06:05:55.080
Can I ask about the female coping mechanism versus the male coping mechanism?
06:06:01.820
When you say healthy, men don't deal with these things in a healthy way.
06:06:06.720
Can I give you an example of a way that I cope, for instance, if I'm upset?
06:06:11.340
And this is true, and then you can tell me if you think it's healthy or unhealthy.
06:06:15.980
So, what I generally do is I load up a .22 Magnum, and I go up on my top deck, and I turn
06:06:21.640
on the night vision, and I wait for the rabbits to come out at night, and then I blow their
06:06:32.060
And it doesn't bother me a bit, and I feel a lot better.
06:06:49.780
There's been plenty of times where, I don't know, when I was way younger, that I felt like
06:06:55.620
punching a hole in the door felt amazing after fighting somebody at school felt great.
06:07:01.220
Like, that was a great way to get my anger out, but obviously, in society, that's not
06:07:08.840
He's not necessarily talking about getting, like, expelling anger from his body.
06:07:19.460
Or I'm having some kind of issue or something like this.
06:07:22.480
I like to just murder the local wildlife, because I, you know, just kind of find it mildly amusing.
06:07:27.400
And I don't like the little bastards being in my yard, because it's mine.
06:07:32.940
I want to start off by saying that I'm glad that that helps you, and I'm glad that you
06:07:36.620
have a technique that you feel can help you emotionally process things.
06:07:41.860
I'm going to be very vague in answering this, because I am very tired.
06:07:45.100
I feel like everyone's definition of healthy, what's healthy for me, is going to look different
06:07:50.100
from someone else, just in terms of, like, mental health.
06:07:54.300
And if that's what you find healthy for yourself, sure, I find that healthy then.
06:07:59.420
And I'm glad that you have that as a technique to process your emotions.
06:08:01.880
I think as long as you're not hurting other people around you.
06:08:05.300
Do I think that it would be great if it was a technique that didn't cause you to inflict
06:08:15.440
Like, the funnest part of it is the blasting of watching their little bodies explode.
06:08:31.040
That little round just zips in, it just slices them right in half, just like that.
06:08:35.000
And I'm like, yeah, take that, you little bastard.
06:08:37.200
Is that me being, like, unhealthy or is that the proper masculine way in which to process
06:08:45.060
Just if I was looking at you for your expertise.
06:08:47.720
If that's keeping you from hurting other, I don't know, I guess, that's fine.
06:09:00.740
I feel like it's a great service that I do for the community.
06:09:09.260
And at the same time, I'm able to, I don't know, satiate my feelings at the same time.
06:09:19.700
But, you know, I don't think there's many other people that have that.
06:09:27.580
If you want to shoot something, go shoot something.
06:09:31.140
We're just cutting those little bastards in half.
06:09:38.400
Are they processing their emotions properly, too?
06:09:41.320
But you can't deny that there are significant, like, improvements in, like, a mental health
06:09:48.740
of a man that has gone through crazy type of trauma.
06:09:54.860
I've known personally, at least five, that after getting a therapist.
06:09:59.720
And just releasing that in a short amount of time, they didn't even need to continuously
06:10:11.100
I would argue that I do agree that there is some genetic component, like how you were saying
06:10:18.660
There have been studies done, like, that's totally, like, I agree with you on that.
06:10:21.840
But I also do think that due to the notion that men are taught that they don't see the
06:10:30.120
Like, when you picture a therapist's office, who do you picture sitting on the couch next
06:10:35.080
Like, we've all been conditioned societally to think that women are the ones who go to
06:10:43.580
If you were to grow up in an environment where you saw your father going to therapy, you saw
06:10:48.600
male role models going to therapy and speaking openly about it, there's a greater chance that
06:10:57.200
Yeah, you know, I want to let you know, here's the kind of traditional male therapy that I'm
06:11:03.540
used to, and I think it's far superior, because there seems to be far less mental illness in
06:11:07.940
men, and we know that by the numbers, because we can see the amount of antidepressants, and
06:11:12.780
we can see the amount of antipsychotic drugs that women are on versus men.
06:11:17.900
Do you think that's because men aren't going to these doctor's appointments, so they're not
06:11:21.640
even getting diagnosed and prescribed in the first place?
06:11:24.040
Yeah, but you would see this act out in other ways in society, then, and you don't.
06:11:29.120
The highest population of antidepressant abusers is women.
06:11:36.680
So, no, mental illness is higher in women than it is in men.
06:11:42.520
But you know how I see men generally deal with their problems rather than go and sit on
06:11:47.220
the couch and talk to some chick about their feelings?
06:11:49.680
What they do is they get on a game called Red Dead Redemption 2, and they find prostitutes,
06:11:53.820
and they tie them up in the game, and they put them on the back of a horse, and they
06:11:58.020
go down to the railroad track, and then they throw them on the railroad track, and then
06:12:02.360
they wait there with a six-shooter until the train comes, and then it blasts them and cuts
06:12:06.800
them in half, and then they shoot at the body parts in the game.
06:12:12.420
They seem to be having a blast, so I was like, you know what?
06:12:18.300
Is that a healthy way to deal with their issues?
06:12:25.340
If that's what works for them, that's beautiful.
06:12:30.680
Why put all of that energy into something like that when you can just talk and get it
06:12:38.340
As a gamer, I can tell you, some of the best therapy sessions I've ever had have been with
06:12:44.700
the boys playing Call of Duty, doing the most obscene stuff.
06:12:48.320
But is it because, is this because, like, people tell you, like, even me, for instance,
06:12:54.200
I thought, like, crying, people seeing me cry was weak.
06:13:00.160
But that kind of goes for, like, men, like, they think those kind of behaviors are weak
06:13:05.560
or they were told that at some point in their lives or that has something to do with it.
06:13:11.520
Here's the thing, though, is that we don't want to talk about our problems.
06:13:19.300
But you don't have to solve them by suppressing all that.
06:13:21.940
Okay, so you're in therapy because I feel bad about X.
06:13:31.900
You go to find out why you react to things and the way you react.
06:13:38.380
If I, like, actually start meditating and thinking about my problems or talking about my problems,
06:13:47.280
It doesn't make me, like, it doesn't help the problem.
06:13:55.980
Men see things as, like, okay, problem solution.
06:13:58.540
If there's a problem in my life, I need to find a solution.
06:14:04.820
But the first step to getting to a solution is knowing the problem.
06:14:07.220
Well, okay, I'm just going to let you inside the mind of men right now.
06:14:11.860
So when we see a problem, it does nothing for us to ruminate and just stew on the problem itself
06:14:18.640
and think about why is it a problem, why is it affecting my psyche, why does it make me feel this way?
06:14:36.280
No, no, no, no, no, no, because you're coming at me as a woman saying this because your mind works differently.
06:14:43.020
You sit there, you say, well, that shit happened, and then you move on.
06:14:45.680
Well, no, it's because as men, like, we can just expel it from our minds.
06:14:51.280
We can totally recover from things by just solving the issue.
06:14:54.880
The longer you talk about something, the more you're just going to drag it up,
06:14:57.060
and then you're just going to have to deal with it over and over and over again.
06:14:59.700
Just say, okay, that happened, and then move on.
06:15:01.700
Have you ever had the experience of you go to, like, a guy, maybe you're dating him.
06:15:09.060
And he's like, okay, well, you can do X, Y, Z, and here's how you can resolve it.
06:15:14.020
And you're like, well, I don't really want that.
06:15:21.600
Yeah, that's not true at all, because I don't think that.
06:15:24.240
If a girl comes to me with a problem, I'm going to be like, okay, how can I fix this?
06:15:29.080
But y'all are like, no, I don't want a solution.
06:15:32.040
The whole y'all thing is the whole y'all thing you guys don't like that we do.
06:15:38.680
Like, as a guy, I don't want to vent to anybody.
06:15:48.720
I have a clarifying question for you specifically.
06:15:51.380
When you're saying that the way that men are wired and their brains work this way, I agree
06:15:57.540
that that's the majority of men, but do you think that's how all men are wired?
06:16:06.540
Sometimes there are problems that are too large for a man to accomplish by himself, so he has
06:16:12.880
to bring in other people, but at the end of the day, all he's trying to do is just solve
06:16:16.500
the problem instead of talk about the intricacies of the problem.
06:16:20.280
Like, if he has to talk about the intricacies of the problem to solve it, he'll do that.
06:16:24.300
But for the sake of talking about the problem, he'll never do that.
06:16:31.580
I will say, too, though, I have, going back to your point about how when you'll vent to
06:16:38.420
like a boyfriend or whatever, I have had partners in the past where I'll vent to them and they
06:16:43.380
don't immediately hand me solutions and their natural instinct is just be like, I'm so sorry
06:16:52.560
Well, it's because they've been taught, like, sorry, I didn't want to cut you off.
06:16:57.040
But generally speaking, the first relationships I ever got into, my initial reaction was solve
06:17:04.080
But it's been taught to me that women don't think exactly like I do.
06:17:08.040
So I've had to learn that when a woman comes to me with a problem, I have to decipher or
06:17:14.500
ask them, do you want a solution or do you just want me to listen?
06:17:18.240
Generally speaking, I'll typically just listen.
06:17:21.640
But with a guy, one of my bros comes to me with a problem, I know I can just give him
06:17:26.560
a solution and that's kind of what he's looking for.
06:17:29.160
No, and I think that's a good skill that you have that you can differentiate in between those
06:17:36.060
But I will say that I have friends who are male where their instinct is not to just solve
06:17:45.580
So I agree with you that that's the majority of men.
06:17:49.900
I think that you're using a lot of blanket terms here.
06:17:53.720
Well, maybe you haven't been with them through their whole life.
06:18:05.000
I'm just saying, we all want to solve the problem.
06:18:16.200
For those of you who are big, heavy believers in therapy, have you ever actually known a
06:18:22.700
single woman who's gone to therapy and been cured of the problem she was going to therapy
06:18:38.380
I think that when you go to therapy, you learn how to deal with problems that life throw you.
06:18:46.120
You learn how to address things in the future when they crop up in your life.
06:18:50.300
I've gone to therapy, and at this point now, would I say I'm cured?
06:18:58.480
But after going to therapy, I know how to manage stress better.
06:19:06.120
No, because you don't, like, yeah, I don't know.
06:19:14.840
Maybe you cured that, like, problem at that time that you had, but people don't stop going
06:19:19.280
through experiences that, like, questions them.
06:19:21.120
If the goal of therapy is to gather all of these tools so you can appropriately deal with issues
06:19:27.480
in the future, you should be able to provide somebody with those tools and not have to
06:19:34.700
Do you have the same, like, problems or fears that you did when you were five than now?
06:19:44.820
I don't have to continually have somebody give me more tools to figure out how to deal with
06:19:50.540
Can I propose an analogy real quick, just to shed light on my perspective?
06:19:57.000
I went to therapy because I experienced anxiety from a really young age.
06:20:05.900
You can learn to manage it, but it never fully goes away.
06:20:08.920
I still feel anxious, but now I have the tools in order to remedy that and ease those symptoms.
06:20:20.760
Have you ever tried alternative forms of medicine, though, than therapy?
06:20:25.400
Can you please elaborate and provide some examples?
06:20:42.480
I believe I asked for examples plural, please provide more.
06:20:49.420
You know, going out and shooting at random things, or...
06:20:55.900
I think it's the energy in building something, or any number of different things.
06:21:02.240
My dad does woodworking, and I've gone out and learned how to woodwork with him, and that
06:21:08.460
My brother, we built the furniture for his bedroom.
06:21:11.060
So, we built a bed frame, a desk, and a little nightstand for him.
06:21:14.220
Well, what did you do for the woodworking portion, you specifically?
06:21:19.380
Well, I used the saw, I learned how to use the bandsaw.
06:21:29.100
I did use a jigsaw in order to stabilize the wood, yes.
06:21:34.400
My dad is very, very into carpentry, so he did teach me basic things.
06:21:41.580
Well, I'm not asking you if you're a master woodcrafter.
06:21:43.600
I was just asking if you've ever vented maybe your frustrations in a different way.
06:21:47.720
I think that there are, yes, and I'm not just saying, like, I have many different ways that
06:22:02.000
I mean, if you're trying to actually tackle something specific, you said you had anxiety,
06:22:08.500
Perhaps you saw somebody who specialized in treating people who have panic disorders, anxiety,
06:22:13.740
I don't really have any objections there, but I do think there are some sort of,
06:22:17.400
this idea, like, because you'll see on, like, dating apps, for example, to bring it back
06:22:21.520
to dating, women will just, like, wholesale say, green flag if a man's in therapy, or men
06:22:27.060
should be in therapy, which sort of pathologizes men in general, saying, well, there's something
06:22:32.220
sort of innately wrong with men, and they need to solve their maleness by, I mean, I'm
06:22:38.340
sorry, I don't want to straw man, but you will see these things from women on dating
06:22:42.960
apps, for example, just going to talk therapy because you're just vaguely not really trying
06:22:50.880
to address any specific, anything specific like you were with anxiety, but you're just
06:22:55.440
vaguely unhappy or vaguely depressed, or just because society is saying, or women are
06:23:02.720
saying, I'm attracted to men, men should be in therapy, it's a green flag.
06:23:06.120
Um, I think there's an issue there, talk therapy, I don't think is effective at all, uh, but I
06:23:13.680
do think, for example, as you mentioned, therapies that can assist with specific issues, maybe
06:23:19.120
someone who's coping with the, uh, who's grieving, who's lost a family member, there are therapists
06:23:24.120
who can specifically help with how to overcome that sort of thing.
06:23:27.900
I think that, you know, not oftentimes these are covered by the hospice or, um, in any case,
06:23:34.060
but it does kind of lead into our next thing here.
06:23:36.820
I've heard that men's hesitance to go to therapy or their unwillingness to go to therapy is evidence
06:23:48.400
I would say that an adherence to go to therapy has been due to the notion that a lot of men
06:23:56.540
Um, here's what I, and I also have a response to the dating prompts.
06:23:59.540
Do I think that everyone needs to actively be in therapy?
06:24:02.480
No, I don't think everyone actively needs to be in therapy.
06:24:05.460
Do I think that at least everyone should at least try it once in order to see if it works
06:24:11.080
I don't think that everyone needs to be in it consistently though.
06:24:14.000
That's like how you said, like you have processing techniques that work for you better and I'm
06:24:18.480
And like, I'm not saying that therapy has to work for you.
06:24:21.160
Like that would be really ignorant of me to think that one thing would work for everyone.
06:24:29.200
Well, I'm just saying that everyone should at least try it once or consider it.
06:24:34.100
Well, I'm going to move it off of therapy conversation.
06:24:36.840
A couple more questions and we will try to wrap things up here pretty soon.
06:25:01.520
But why do we tend to hear more about toxic masculinity than we do about toxic femininity?
06:25:08.760
Um, I think that's actually a really interesting question.
06:25:12.520
Um, I think because feminism is such a new field, like it's only been around, like the
06:25:25.080
Like, I'm not even sure personally, but it's a relatively recently new field, right?
06:25:29.600
When you have new fields emerging, you don't look at it with the same lens as you would,
06:25:38.820
I think that a lot of times with toxic femininity, I think a lot of times women will beat each
06:25:43.100
other down, like little digs at each other, passive aggressive, making each other look
06:25:47.800
I'm sure everyone at this table has experienced a woman being toxic to them in some form.
06:25:56.560
I mean, feminism's been around a lot longer than, let's say the microchip, for instance.
06:26:07.520
No, like I, I mean, I also assumed that it was within the past like few hundred years,
06:26:22.760
I mean, if you had a yes, right, the microchip would be pretty recent, right?
06:26:31.800
Well, yeah, but I still would like you to answer to this because you start by saying, well,
06:26:38.860
And because of that, we're focusing on this kind of a limited prism, which is really strange
06:26:45.000
because I think that language and I think that ideas are just technologies, just like
06:26:56.480
I don't really understand why we would be hyper-focusing on toxic masculinity just because
06:27:08.180
I think it's not, it shouldn't be focused on just toxic masculinity.
06:27:17.400
I agree with your guys' points that toxic femininity does need to be talked about more.
06:27:23.760
I think it's honestly a bigger issue than people make it out to be.
06:27:26.920
I think that a lot of the times, the biggest, I think in a lot of instances too, a lot of
06:27:32.680
issues that women have can be attributed to other women in these instances, but that's
06:27:38.620
It's like looked down upon almost by like the feminist, whatever that would be culture
06:27:45.220
that if you are a woman and you say something against feminism or what the like social norm
06:27:53.540
definition of it is, then you're not on the side, I don't know, on the right side of it.
06:28:02.900
I think that a lot of times too, insecure women will gain confidence by putting other
06:28:08.900
women down and I think that's why it happens a lot of the time.
06:28:17.540
I actually just, I just, I found something kind of interesting.
06:28:21.540
I did a Google search of toxic femininity and toxic masculinity and there's Wikipedia article,
06:28:29.180
there's a full on Wikipedia article for toxic masculinity, but if you try to search for toxic
06:28:34.680
femininity, it redirects to internalized misogyny, which I think is interesting.
06:28:46.400
Well, I mean, it's like, it's often cited, but I mean, getting like a societal consensus
06:28:55.620
I mean, just anyone can put that information in there.
06:28:58.040
Well, Brian, how dare you think toxic femininity is a thing?
06:29:01.520
I think the first thing we were taught in school was to check your source.
06:29:08.200
Well, obviously, because there's no toxic femininity, it's not very accurate.
06:29:26.820
I took Feminist 181, it was Applied Feminist Theory.
06:29:30.740
Was there a more introductory course that you took or that was the only feminist course you
06:29:53.560
Is there an intro to feminism or anything like that?
06:29:55.780
Well, you take the lower-tives before you take upper-tives.
06:29:58.480
The lower-tives are considered your intro course before you get to the upper-tive course.
06:30:06.920
It's introductory before the higher level one, yes.
06:30:09.000
So you took that one and then you took the Applied Feminism.
06:30:14.040
Applied Feminist Theory is applying theories that center around the perspectives of women
06:30:19.600
and using that as a lens to view issues in society.
06:30:25.520
You could do this with Marxist theory, anything.
06:30:28.040
It's just using a theoretical lens to view an issue.
06:30:40.540
And, I mean, so you took issue with me citing to Wikipedia kind of redirecting toxic femininity
06:30:48.720
to this term, internalized sexism, but isn't this a term that feminists use, internalized
06:30:59.760
You don't use internalized, or excuse me, you don't use toxic femininity.
06:31:07.780
No, I would probably use toxic femininity, to be honest.
06:31:13.480
Is toxic femininity focused on in feminist studies?
06:31:27.400
And then what are some of the, I mean, do you guys talk about patriarchy theory?
06:31:32.220
I mean, the whole thing is toxic femininity, ultimately, right?
06:31:37.780
So the entire prism or lens in which you're looking at the feminism is only and specifically
06:31:46.880
It's looking at things through the perspective of women.
06:31:50.240
This would be the same as if, but I will say that the, have any of you guys taken like
06:31:59.020
Have you taken like a course or done like personal research?
06:32:06.960
Um, you said looking at things through the lens of women or looking at things through
06:32:17.280
So that, you know, standpoint theory is the prism, the lens in which you're looking at
06:32:21.480
In this case, the worldview is only coming from the perspective of women.
06:32:28.580
I mean, if you wanted it to, I don't know how it would, but we didn't focus on that.
06:32:33.340
Um, I guess theoretically you could apply it to that.
06:32:35.500
And so, but, but I, there is, so you, I mean, you've taken these classes.
06:32:44.200
And so given your experience in these classes, how, what's your sense of, like, can you define
06:32:53.000
So the patriarchy is essentially the idea that women are inferior to men and it's a
06:32:57.520
set of notions, ideas, institutions that sustain this belief.
06:33:03.540
But I will say too, these classes don't demonize men.
06:33:12.800
So you said also this, uh, this applied feminism thing, it'll look at like Marxism, for example.
06:33:19.340
I use that as another example of how applied theory works.
06:33:25.980
No, that, I'm not, that's not really what I'm getting at, but the, so my understanding
06:33:30.520
with Marxism, it's sort of, uh, it, it looks at things from a lens of oppressor oppressed.
06:33:38.120
And my view, my understanding of feminism, and you mentioned patriarchy theory, isn't that
06:33:43.460
precisely what patriarchy theory is that women are oppressed and men are the oppressors.
06:33:52.220
I think it's the idea that, so patriarchy isn't women being oppressed.
06:33:57.280
Patriarchy is the idea that men are superior to women.
06:34:08.720
Patriarchy itself is not the oppression of women.
06:34:13.380
It's not always in the sole oppression of women.
06:34:20.660
And who, who, if women as a group are oppressed, there must be another group that is oppressing
06:34:30.740
It's oftentimes men, but the way that I have learned about it personally, and this is my
06:34:35.620
understanding of it, I don't think it's your understanding.
06:34:37.660
Are you going to say internalized misogyny, that women have internalized misogyny?
06:34:45.960
I would really like to not be interrupted while talking about this.
06:34:48.500
I know you wouldn't, but I just wanted to predict it.
06:34:54.720
Well, then it wouldn't be a prediction if I held it till the end.
06:35:02.120
Essentially, patriarchy is a system of punishments and rewards.
06:35:06.440
Anyone can, women oppress other women in these instances.
06:35:16.240
Women will make little tiny digs at other women, and they'll gain slight respect of other
06:35:25.060
For example, a woman just talking badly about classic feminine traits, like, oh, that's
06:35:34.440
Women who wear makeup are insecure, da-da-da-da-da.
06:35:37.720
When women say those things, it gains them some sort of social capital under a system of
06:35:44.960
Anyone can benefit from a system of patriarchy, but it functions off the idea that men are
06:35:56.960
Well, if women are oppressing other women under a patriarchal system, and they're doing
06:36:00.800
it in order to score points with whoever's in charge of the patriarchy, that would be
06:36:06.380
That's one example of it, but the internalized misogyny is just one aspect of patriarchy.
06:36:12.700
Now, I didn't say that that was the entire aspect of patriarchy.
06:36:16.420
A specific example of women oppressing other women through the means of patriarchy in order
06:36:21.380
to score points with the patriarchy, that's internalized misogyny, right?
06:36:35.880
So I have a couple follow-up questions on this.
06:36:38.220
So, I mean, you mentioned that women can oftentimes be, say, negative things about other women.
06:36:45.260
I think that's perhaps getting a little bit away from my questioning here, though, because
06:36:50.140
I'm not totally sure how that ties in, unless you have an explanation, but...
06:36:58.080
I have some more questions for you afterwards, but go ahead.
06:36:59.840
Okay, so as I've said before, patriarchy isn't just men oppressing women, it's the idea.
06:37:05.860
Women can still hold patriarchal ideas, even as women.
06:37:12.920
These things are taught to us since we're young.
06:37:15.440
They're taught to us in many different things, in many different forms.
06:37:18.020
They're taught to us in different behaviors, school, just different societal norms, like...
06:37:26.840
You gotta talk in the mic if you're gonna speak.
06:37:28.940
You gotta, like, you know, have, you know, domestic roles, and, like, you're gonna be...
06:37:34.180
I don't know, things like that along that line.
06:37:37.680
Like, assigning gender roles at a very young age, like, oh, women are always expected to
06:37:42.560
cook and clean, women are expected to give to child bear, like, all of these things function
06:37:47.460
under a system of patriarchy, and when these behaviors are repeated over time and time
06:37:55.280
Like, all of these different actions and behaviors and institutions that these ideals are ingrained
06:38:05.260
So you mentioned an objection to this view that women should be moms or have children.
06:38:17.100
But I think that women should be given the choice of whether they want to be a mom or not.
06:38:23.040
But a lot of times in society, like, as a girl, it's assumed by a lot of people that
06:38:30.240
People don't say, oh, would you like to be a mom?
06:38:32.360
They assume that I am going to become a mom one day.
06:38:35.140
That is assumed that that's my natural role as I get older.
06:38:46.480
But take, for example, like, two stereotypes, right?
06:38:51.280
You have, like, a woman in her 40s who doesn't have children versus a man in his 40s who doesn't
06:38:57.940
When you think of the woman in her 40s, you're like, oh, she's lonely.
06:39:04.780
Like, she can't possibly have, like, that inner joy within her life.
06:39:14.440
Do you think there is a biological basis for this?
06:39:17.580
I think at some point, just because of due to, like, the reproductive system, yes.
06:39:22.660
But I do think that a large component is societal.
06:39:37.260
You were taught that in your feminist studies course, right?
06:39:41.540
You weren't taught ontology in your feminist studies course.
06:39:46.360
The study of being, meaning that there is a difference between men and women.
06:39:51.580
They're not interchangeable widgets as much as feminists would like to pretend that we are.
06:40:03.920
They exist because the actual root in which is a man and what is a woman are totally different from one another.
06:40:11.360
And so when you take these loaded terms like patriarchy, what's ignored by feminists is nature.
06:40:19.520
Not nature as in the natural world, but rather the nature of what the thing actually is.
06:40:29.320
And so because, hang on, because of that, we have a different telos, a different purpose.
06:40:33.800
And this is why when people think about purpose and they say, oh, the 40-year-old spinster, this is not something which is socially pressured as much as it is a way for us to understand the nature of women is to make children.
06:40:51.080
This must be the case because there's no other way they can be made.
06:40:54.460
And so, of course, we would see that women who defy their own nature are going to be more miserable than not.
06:41:02.500
Anything which devolves away from its own purpose tends to not be very happy.
06:41:07.920
Do you think that as a woman, my only purpose is to have children?
06:41:15.180
You think that the most fulfilling, joyful experience I could ever have in my life is to have children?
06:41:32.720
Well, because all of the evidence, which I have and you have, would indicate that that is true.
06:41:45.860
And the primary edict from an evolutionary standpoint is reproduction.
06:41:54.820
So then if the primary edict is reproduction, only women can have children, then it seems
06:42:00.240
that the nature and purpose for women ultimately is to be the ones who have children.
06:42:10.580
So yes, of course, I would tie generally the purpose of the thing to the thing.
06:42:24.840
But why, why the need for like zero effort in wanting progress, like wanting more than that?
06:42:34.120
Why, what can be more, what, I don't understand how you can deliver more progress to society
06:42:41.180
For instance, rocks and non-biological things cannot replicate.
06:42:52.440
Solely, solely biological beings only can do this.
06:42:56.580
And yet, what could ever be a higher purpose than that for a woman?
06:43:01.380
What would be a higher purpose for a woman than replication?
06:43:04.300
I personally, if I were to have a child right now, I would not be like, this is the
06:43:09.380
I'm the happiest I've ever been and this is the happiest I'm ever going to be.
06:43:13.640
I know because purpose isn't just like being a mom.
06:43:19.500
There's plenty of other things that fulfill me.
06:43:25.320
Because there's plenty of other things that I have.
06:43:27.800
I'm talking about the things that have given me purpose, that have fulfilled me and kept
06:43:34.480
me alive and happy and not still wanting to have to be a mom prematurely because,
06:43:44.520
So let me ask you very directly, very directly.
06:43:46.880
I have to do it right now or I'm never going to be able to eat.
06:43:49.920
What could you ever do in your life that would be more important than replicating your genes?
06:43:55.780
Honestly, if we're going to go into that territory, then like there's plenty of other things.
06:44:02.080
Helping other children that don't have parents, maybe.
06:44:07.200
You mean whose genes have already been replicated?
06:44:12.120
So somebody else has been able to replicate their genes, but not you?
06:44:15.900
No, but you know, like if there's five children that don't have parents, they have nothing.
06:44:22.060
And then I'm over here wanting to replicate myself in that like selfish state of mind.
06:44:29.360
It's a bit selfish because you can help this child that is going to die without your...
06:44:39.760
Andrew, I'm going to get things back on track a little bit.
06:44:45.880
So you don't replicate because there's children out there who are in need?
06:44:51.840
You don't have to replicate in order to have that feeling of motherhood.
06:44:58.500
Wait, somebody has to replicate for those children to exist.
06:45:01.660
There's plenty of people replicating all over the fucking world right now.
06:45:09.040
So if that's the case, then still you would still be fulfilling your ultimate purpose,
06:45:13.660
which would be to take care of what is replicated.
06:45:20.360
There's a lot of other things that I'm excited to do that I think are my purpose besides childbirth.
06:45:26.140
And personally, speaking from the perspective as a woman, you are not a biological woman.
06:45:33.300
There is a list of things that I am more excited to do than give birth to children at the moment.
06:45:38.460
Are you saying that there's a distinction between people who self-identify as women and biological women?
06:45:44.000
No, I'm saying that you're not a biological woman.
06:45:47.040
Well, then I can have the same exact lived experience you do.
06:45:54.600
All that matters is that I could have the same exact lived experience as you if you make no distinction between the self-ID and the biological.
06:46:03.360
And if you don't, and you said you don't, then you can't say you're not a biological woman, so therefore X.
06:46:10.720
Yeah, but you can finish after you clarify how it is that you can tell me what my lived experience is when you make no distinction between the biological and whatever my self-ID may be.
06:46:25.660
So I can have the same exact lived experience as a biological woman, right?
06:46:34.840
I could have the same exact experience as a biological woman under your worldview, correct?
06:46:46.140
I am answering your question, and I need you to stop interrupting me.
06:46:50.000
Okay, so yes or no, could I have the same experience as a biological woman without being a biological woman under your worldview?
06:47:03.720
If you would let me finish, you would know that I have a...
06:47:06.140
Do you know how to say the word yes, and do you know how to say the word no?
06:47:17.120
And if it's no, then you can qualify, and if it's yes, you can qualify.
06:47:27.660
I would like to speak my answer without being interrupted.
06:47:38.480
You are arguing, right, that as a biological woman, due to my hormones, my purpose,
06:47:45.940
the greatest, most fulfilling thing in my life is having children, right?
06:47:59.520
You didn't answer my question, so I'm going to ask you again.
06:48:02.740
Under your worldview, can I have, by self-identifying as a woman,
06:48:08.260
the same exact experience that you have as a biological woman or not?
06:48:16.200
You got to speak into the mic or I can't hear you.
06:48:18.280
I think it's personally more complex than that,
06:48:20.420
and I quite honestly don't have a yes or no answer,
06:48:23.260
and I think it's more subjective on a case-to-case basis.
06:48:28.640
So you don't even know if there's a distinction between someone who's a biological woman
06:48:33.520
How can you use the fact that you're a biological woman as an argument then?
06:48:38.800
I personally, I have tried to explain my point,
06:48:43.380
and I have tried to explain to you that I do not think that this is a yes or no question.
06:48:47.420
I think that it is simply on a case-to-case basis.
06:48:55.560
The concept is too complex for my feeble mind to comprehend
06:48:59.300
that you can't say yes or no to a direct question.
06:49:03.940
Now, I'd like to demonstrate for you the distinction between the two of us.
06:49:08.040
You can go ahead and ask me the same exact question,
06:49:10.760
and I will say yes or I will say no and then give my qualifier.
06:49:30.860
Yeah, if you want to be brought back in there, probably, yeah.
06:49:47.300
because I don't understand how you make the argument.
06:49:49.560
You're not a biological woman, therefore blank.
06:49:51.900
Because by your worldview, if I have, if I just self-ID'd as being the thing,
06:49:59.180
and then claimed I had the same experience that a biological woman has,
06:50:03.000
even if I claim that it's the overly masculine experience that I'm used to,
06:50:07.580
you could have no argument against that unless you are making the distinction between a biological woman and a self-ID'd woman.
06:50:14.860
Are you making the distinction between the two?
06:50:17.920
Andrew, what I was going to say is that I do not think this concept is too complex for you to understand.
06:50:24.960
I think that this topic in itself is so complex that I personally, me, speaking, like truly, do not have a yes or no answer.
06:50:37.500
I'm not saying that I don't have an answer for you.
06:50:44.520
So assume for a second, let me just make sure I got this right,
06:50:49.340
and then sure, I'll turn it over to Brian for whatever he wants.
06:50:53.600
Like, you are unsure whether or not, based on just self-ID,
06:51:01.480
I could or could not have the same experiences as a biological woman.
06:51:06.340
I just want to make sure that we got that on record.
06:51:10.180
I think it's more dependent on a case-to-case basis.
06:51:14.680
And I'm not saying that the topic is too complex for you to understand.
06:51:21.480
I'm not trying to, like, invalidate your opinion.
06:51:26.640
Well, we can't stay bogged down on this for too long.
06:51:38.220
this being perhaps the ultimate thing that a woman could do in her life,
06:51:45.580
You said there's plenty of things that I can begin.
06:51:52.280
I said there are plenty of things that I'm more looking forward to than childbirth
06:51:56.580
and reproducing and multiplying my own genes right now.
06:52:05.160
I want to live abroad right now, so I'm more afforded.
06:52:07.700
At my current place in life right now, I am more looking forward to living abroad,
06:52:11.900
going to grad school, graduating from grad school, meeting a future partner,
06:52:16.400
doing all of these things, and I have another question to pose.
06:52:23.420
If someone were unable to have biological children, right,
06:52:27.960
would you still argue that her greatest purpose in life is to reproduce?
06:52:34.720
Well, I wasn't really making the argument, but she's incapable of reproducing,
06:52:38.220
so if she can't reproduce, she can't reproduce,
06:52:44.720
But I guess my question to you is, one, you could do all of those things
06:52:50.740
and also have children, but I guess what I often hear is when it comes to
06:52:57.360
there are better things than having children, it's typically in pursuit of a career.
06:53:07.740
I myself personally have never had the desire to have children,
06:53:16.460
But I'm not saying that some women's purpose isn't to be moms.
06:53:21.460
I know some people who enjoy motherhood, it's the thing that they're meant to do,
06:53:27.480
I think that women should just simply have the choice if that is what they want to do or not.
06:53:33.080
Yeah, I don't think we're making the argument that they shouldn't have the choice.
06:53:36.520
I think the argument we're trying to make, it is probably the most selfless and most altruistic
06:53:42.940
and most impactful thing they could do upon the world is reproduce, have children, be a mother.
06:53:53.240
Say I didn't have children biologically, I adopted, and I saved kids from like an instance where they're refugees,
06:54:01.840
they don't have the proper resources, they don't have social provisions given to them,
06:54:08.520
and I provide them all the loving care that a biological mother possibly could,
06:54:13.340
would you argue that that's still just as altruistic and selfless?
06:54:17.620
Sure, but somebody else had to do the replicating.
06:54:20.740
So the thing is, somebody still had to replicate and fulfill their highest purpose
06:54:25.200
in order for you to then fulfill your highest purpose.
06:54:27.580
Yes, I'm not denying that a woman has to bear children, but, okay.
06:54:36.180
Wait, so, okay, look, I'll just kind of get to the point here.
06:54:39.420
So do you think working for some nameless corporation and being a worker drone is generally more fulfilling than having children?
06:54:49.460
I think that for some women, if they find a career that they are extremely passionate about, yes, it could.
06:54:54.440
Do you think most women have careers they're passionate about?
06:54:59.840
I think it's really hard to find something that you're that passionate about and be able to turn it into a living.
06:55:04.340
I would argue that that's not my purpose in life.
06:55:06.980
I don't think that is a lot of people's purpose in life.
06:55:19.720
I want to go into employment law and I want to deal with, like, workers' comp cases.
06:55:25.260
And do you think that, you know, when you're on your deathbed and you're looking back, do you think that you'll think, you know, in comparison, if you had children, do you think it would be more fond memories of having children around you?
06:55:40.600
Or when you're in your old age, if you have children, grandchildren, do you think that would be kind of more desirable than, like, looking back on the fond memories of that employment lawsuit that you just scorched?
06:55:55.160
Well, obviously not, but I think it's a little, I think it's a very broad assumption to assume that I won't be surrounded with children in a different sense.
06:56:07.540
Like, my little brother wants to have children.
06:56:13.580
I work with a three-year-old and an eight-year-old right now.
06:56:16.380
I want to volunteer as a teacher abroad for a few years.
06:56:22.100
I love being able to see things through the perspective of someone who's seeing it with fresh eyes.
06:56:31.540
I would love to volunteer with children in the future.
06:56:33.840
I personally just don't think being a mother is for me.
06:56:39.440
I think one of the criticisms of feminism is I don't think most people actually have any objections to, look, if a given women, you know, they don't want to have children or they'd rather pursue a career.
06:56:54.780
I think one of the criticisms of feminism is its actual attack on women who do choose to have families and who want to, for example, go have kids, be a mom, be a stay-at-home mom.
06:57:07.520
They think that that's some sort of form of oppression.
06:57:12.840
I think it's solely, and I've said this term so many times, I think it's a case-to-case basis.
06:57:18.320
Anyways, I do, I'm going to move it on a little bit here.
06:57:23.280
On the topic of altruism, let me ask you a question.
06:57:27.300
Because you brought up the idea of altruism, would you agree with me that highly educated and intelligent women tend to actually procreate less than people who are in poor socioeconomic conditions and have less intelligence?
06:57:47.660
I mean, it's poor people reproduce more than rich people do, generally speaking.
06:57:54.340
And especially upper class people, that is just the case.
06:58:09.380
Like education levels and, like, opportunity to find other things that you find from...
06:58:16.120
Generally, the more educated a person is, the less they procreate.
06:58:40.400
I think there is a correlation between education and higher levels of employment.
06:58:44.320
That being said, it's also because these people with higher education have better insurance, better access to health care, more access to birth control.
06:58:57.900
So then what you're doing, right, if you're truly altruistic, wouldn't you want the children of the future to be the smartest?
06:59:05.140
And if you wanted them to be the smartest, shouldn't you be reproducing more than the Thomas people are?
06:59:12.360
I think it's more resources than genetics, personally.
06:59:17.220
I'm not personally well-versed in this subject.
06:59:19.440
So take whatever I'm saying with a grain of salt right now.
06:59:21.900
I'm not acting like I know everything on this subject.
06:59:25.040
I think that if a child was to have the proper education, proper environment to develop, a good childhood versus impeccable genetics, I think that that would pay a bigger role.
06:59:38.240
I'm just saying that if it were even so that it's resources-based, and it must be because nourishment, for instance, correlates with IQ.
06:59:46.940
If you're young and you're malnourished, your brain is...
06:59:58.180
But to hone in here, if you have the best and brightest women who are out there in the workforce instead of procreating, regardless of if it is due to resources or genetics, the future generations are going to be dumber than the previous generations, right?
07:00:16.120
I would argue that there's different ways in order to impact a child's upbringing than just being their mother.
07:00:31.900
If the people who have the resources and are the best and the brightest and the smartest women, if we're wasting them in the workforce instead of them reproducing, how are we not going to end up with dumber generations of children?
07:00:56.280
That's not what we're seeing is happening here.
07:00:58.280
I think that, on average, more educated women with higher salaries do tend to have less children, on average, right?
07:01:06.880
So future generations are going to be smarter or less smart?
07:01:10.200
I think it more so depends on the resources that you have accessible to you.
07:01:14.740
It depends on the school district that you're living in.
07:01:19.480
I guess what Angie's trying to get to is, like, if those women who are smart, educated, have the most resources, therefore they should be having the most children because they have the most resources, education to train them up and create a bright future for us all.
07:01:37.240
Why would I want to waste the best and the brightest of the only people who can replicate their genetics going and working for a boss in some fucking cubicle when they could be reproducing the next generation of women who can then reproduce the best and the brightest and the best, et cetera, et cetera?
07:01:56.820
But don't you see a lot of cases where, like, there are families that are in that position and can but don't, right?
07:02:05.160
But those people that do, their children are worse than the children that, like, that doesn't necessarily have to do with...
07:02:15.600
I swear to God, it has nothing to do with that because those smart people can't have children and their children won't end up how you want it to be because they're bad parents.
07:02:39.060
It's hard to understand if you've never been in a situation or a different country.
07:02:48.720
We kind of derailed there a little bit, but it was good.
07:02:57.500
I would say patriarchy is not a physical place.
07:03:02.460
So, in that sense, no, but yes, we do live under a patriarchal society.
07:03:15.800
I think that sometimes, yes, but also, like I was explaining earlier, women can also be
07:03:21.420
So, but you did say that women are oppressed under patriarchy.
07:03:23.780
Yeah, but I also think that sometimes, too, men can be oppressed by toxic, like, ideals
07:03:32.000
I would say, relative to other populations, no.
07:03:38.220
I have experienced different forms of sexism, patriarchal norms that have affected me and
07:03:44.220
had, like, that have classified as a form of oppression.
07:03:48.760
Would I say that I would, the category I'd put myself into as oppressed?
07:03:56.320
I think that, as a woman, I experience these forms of oppression that the average man wouldn't.
07:04:09.860
SA, DV, those occur to women at much, much higher rates.
07:04:14.720
They can still occur to men, but those are issues that women experience at their rates.
07:04:18.040
It's not clear to me, wouldn't that be something that occurs on the individual level?
07:04:24.300
Because typically, you're thinking of, like, a system would be oppressing you, or a government
07:04:28.920
would be oppressing you, or the patriarchy would be oppressing you.
07:04:32.760
But it's not clear to me, so you said DV and you said SA, I don't see how that's necessarily
07:04:42.040
I can explain my logic behind it if you'd like to.
07:04:44.380
Are you saying that there's a culture, there's a SA culture?
07:04:51.120
I would argue that patriarchy and this system of ideas, I would argue personally that the
07:04:57.880
way that it sustains things like DV and SA is because it teaches men that they are the
07:05:04.360
And when they don't feel in power, sometimes there are instances where they need to feel
07:05:08.280
in control and need to feel in power, and those things will happen.
07:05:16.280
I don't know the exact percentage off the top of my head, but...
07:05:20.060
I mean, isn't this just sexist on its face because you're essentially just pathologizing
07:05:28.900
You're saying these men are inclined to violence and SA.
07:05:34.960
I'm saying that the notions of patriarchy lead to men committing SA and DV at higher
07:05:44.400
Okay, so you say we have a culture, we have an...
07:05:48.400
I mean, I can't use the word, but we have an SA culture.
07:05:54.940
But if you look at prison populations, for example, you can be in there for murder, for
07:06:03.960
If you're in there among the other inmates and you've been accused of some sort of sex
07:06:08.040
crime, you're going to be targeted by criminals for reprisal, for attack, for violence, etc.
07:06:16.700
So even among criminals, men who commit sex crimes are...
07:06:26.320
How can you say that we live in a culture where this is deemed as okay when actually it's...
07:06:33.100
I think a lot of men would actually prefer to be accused of murder than to be accused of
07:06:42.200
What I would argue with that is that we don't live in a culture where it's okay.
07:06:48.700
We live in a culture where it's often swept under the rug and it's allowed in very nuanced
07:06:56.340
Yes, I agree with your point that most men would rather be convicted of murder than that.
07:07:01.200
But that also you have to realize is that's been a more recent shift within our culture.
07:07:05.920
Kind of as recent as feminism has been injected?
07:07:09.220
I was going to say more so recently with the Me Too movement.
07:07:15.380
Recently we've seen SA and DV cases been taken much more seriously in recent years.
07:07:24.660
Like the prison example that you presented might be a result of that.
07:07:30.520
I think it's okay for me to admit that I don't have this all figured out here.
07:07:36.120
So you mentioned that women suffer higher rates of DV.
07:07:39.900
But Andrew, and perhaps you have the stats on this.
07:07:45.400
Is that I believe when it comes to where the domestic violence is one directional, I
07:07:52.880
When it's one directional, they actually found that women victimized men more than men victimized
07:07:59.080
When you're using the term victimization, what does that refer to specifically?
07:08:03.200
They were referring to unwarranted assaults, unwarranted touching, and unwarranted non-consenting
07:08:12.880
Do you think that's because women have been told that it's not okay for them to come forward
07:08:20.400
Are you talking about like violence against men perpetrated by women?
07:08:27.980
So the rates of SA against men are generally much higher than it is against women.
07:08:37.680
It just depends on how we are going to utilize these metrics.
07:08:40.980
Women seem to engage in unwanted touching of men far more often than men do of women.
07:08:46.060
It's just that men seem to not care as much, which is interesting.
07:08:59.540
It's just that nobody cares that men didn't want the unwanted touching.
07:09:05.960
So I actually have the statistics here on this.
07:09:08.280
I can give you an easy, logical example if you don't believe me.
07:09:12.340
If you have ever seen in public, for instance, a man walk over to a woman and maybe just put
07:09:18.260
his hand on her back and rub her back a little bit.
07:09:27.160
However, if the role is reversed and a woman does that to a man, nobody gives a shit.
07:09:33.780
I personally don't believe that, but I think the cause of that problem being this big is
07:09:44.840
Try and really think a little deeper into it because it's not being communicated.
07:09:52.120
If you go out on the street tomorrow and I'll bet you up.
07:09:55.280
Well, I can't bet because it's YouTube, but I would give you, if I was wrong about this,
07:10:00.220
$500, if you were to take Brian and take you out to the street tomorrow, and Brian walked
07:10:06.540
over to 50 different women, walked over to them randomly, and just patted them on the
07:10:11.320
back and started rubbing it, and then you went over to 50 random men, patted them on the
07:10:17.180
back, and started rubbing their back, which do you think would have a more negative response?
07:10:27.700
Of course, it's going to be, yes, the women, you're right.
07:10:41.200
Men, no, why, so how come nobody gives a shit about men?
07:10:44.880
How come nobody gives a shit about women essaying?
07:10:46.980
They don't give a shit about it because it's not communicated that that is a problem to men.
07:10:51.800
They hide that fact and make it seem like, I don't know, I don't even know why people
07:10:59.540
So is it a problem if, so is it not a problem if women don't communicate it?
07:11:03.580
So is the communication the issue, or is the essay the issue?
07:11:07.340
To me, a lot of it does have to do with the communication of that.
07:11:11.000
Like, you need to be clear about your boundaries, and nobody is going to know.
07:11:16.020
We're talking about total strangers, I'm confused.
07:11:26.240
So you have here, so there's reciprocal inter-partner violence and non-reciprocal inter-partner violence.
07:11:34.120
So reciprocal, they're both fucking beating on each other.
07:11:36.420
Non-reciprocal, that's where one's beating on the other.
07:11:40.320
So they actually found in non-reciprocal inter-partner violence that women are much
07:11:45.840
more likely to be the sole aggressor when it comes to domestic violence.
07:11:53.260
But let me quickly point out, just to kind of wrap this up, that what you just got done
07:11:58.780
saying would be a thing that you would rage against, which is, well, wait a second, you
07:12:08.300
How would that sound the other direction if a man said to you, oh, you didn't speak up?
07:12:22.080
Yeah, but the difference is also, like, when we do try to communicate it, it's not taken
07:12:29.580
seriously, nor is it, it's, those things get in the way.
07:12:33.280
Because I thought the argument we were just having is that now it's taken far more seriously.
07:12:37.460
Yeah, I'm pretty sure we voice it a little, at least a little bit more than men, that we
07:12:41.920
don't like certain things quicker than, quicker than.
07:12:43.320
So it's men's fault that if women S.A. them, and they don't speak up, it's them.
07:12:49.660
But if the roles are reversed, and women don't speak up, they're a victim, right?
07:12:53.540
No, no, no, it's, it's an equal, it's an equal thing.
07:12:55.880
Okay, I got, I'm sorry, I'm going to bring it back to her, so, okay.
07:12:58.540
Okay, so we were talking about oppression, aside from the two examples that you provided,
07:13:06.060
which it's not clear to me immediately that that's evidence of oppression, is there anything
07:13:13.060
Well, you said how you've been oppressed, yeah.
07:13:16.940
Because you said women are oppressed, and I asked how you're oppressed.
07:13:20.980
I, I know that you don't view that as an oppression, as a form of oppression.
07:13:25.300
I would argue that, personally, those are, because they are systemic.
07:13:32.560
I've explained this a couple times, but it's just the idea that these are.
07:13:38.740
Things can be systemic without being related to the government.
07:13:42.220
There are systemic processes that occur, there are processes that replicate themselves over
07:13:46.700
and over again, that have nothing to do with the government.
07:13:49.580
But I just, so I just showed you, I just showed you data that indicates that when it comes
07:13:59.480
And domestic violence rates have actually decreased since then.
07:14:03.460
I would like to see another source, if I'm being honest, before we go solely based off
07:14:16.280
So, are you saying that women are cis, there's a systemic thing against men when it comes
07:14:26.460
Well, I mean, using the infographic that I showed, which was a CDC study, it showed that
07:14:32.740
when it came to non-recipical inter-partner violence, that men were the victims in 70%
07:14:37.960
of cases, which would indicate that in that context, women are much more likely to be
07:14:45.480
I think that when you're looking at data like that, you have to realize that women have
07:14:49.160
been told not to come forward with these things.
07:14:55.060
That data is relying off of solely reported cases.
07:15:04.560
Do you really think men are more likely to come forward with essay cases?
07:15:13.940
The statistics are probably worse than what is reported.
07:15:20.820
Right, but if we're doing a comparison here, you could actually just make the argument
07:15:24.560
that there's actually a, like, the man will look like a bitch if he goes to the police
07:15:32.380
That's a bad way to, that's a bad way to put it.
07:15:39.080
Yeah, but that's not supporting a very healthy.
07:15:45.820
Okay, if we're talking about the DV part of the conversation, like, I can say that I
07:15:54.820
know a lot of women personally, unfortunately, that have been more violent towards men, and
07:16:05.680
But on the other side of the argument, we were asking her, like, in what areas does
07:16:09.420
that, like, come out where we're oppressed in that sense?
07:16:14.780
Like, it's, one example I personally can go to straight up is, like, career-wise, in
07:16:21.640
any career, if you want to, let's say, even in music, right?
07:16:30.400
If you were to, if you as a man, to get in the industry.
07:16:38.060
Okay, but, I mean, you're talking about music, but okay, go ahead.
07:16:44.200
Women are, women are not succeeding in the music industry?
07:16:48.280
Look, I will, it will take a longer time for me to want to, to get to a successful part
07:16:55.520
in my career, because I have to deal with, and I have, with people, like, that I have
07:17:01.220
to work with producers and things like that, that will only present an opportunity to me
07:17:06.620
if there were something extra involved, and if that was not.
07:17:14.880
Wouldn't, I mean, I'm not saying it's right, but wouldn't that actually get you in rooms?
07:17:19.560
Get me in rooms where I have to do something I don't want to do to get one another man
07:17:23.660
No, but I'm saying, no, you don't even have to do anything.
07:17:24.160
You can just be a young, beautiful, attractive woman, and you can maneuver.
07:17:28.500
You can actually, for me to, like, be able to get in a room with somebody who's really
07:17:36.220
As a woman, you can be in a room with a fucking, some major musician.
07:17:43.000
Who's the most famous you've been in a room with?
07:17:49.700
But he hasn't personally tried to, he hasn't personally tried to do anything to me, but
07:17:54.220
But you had that opportunity just because what?
07:17:56.700
If he said, if I did something for him type of thing, or what do you, what is your problem?
07:18:03.240
What did you have to do to get in that room with him?
07:18:06.020
I didn't have to do anything to get in that room.
07:18:07.900
But if I were to want to get my career taken seriously and not just the, oh, la-di-da,
07:18:17.720
Except we can't just walk into a room with somebody.
07:18:21.700
And then when you do, you don't have to also, we have to do the hard work and potentially
07:18:30.860
We have to do the hard work and then we can get an audience and then we have to reprove
07:18:40.120
I can't just go to Miami, find the most successful guy there, jump on his yacht just because I'm
07:18:50.080
Any really attractive woman can walk down to a port, show herself off to really successful
07:18:57.820
Yeah, that's how you don't get taken seriously though.
07:19:00.120
You have to have all these little loopholes to get there and then you still might not.
07:19:06.020
First off, the entertainment business is incredibly cutthroat.
07:19:12.780
You think anybody gives a fuck whether you're a man or a woman?
07:19:19.700
If you're talented, it has nothing to do with it.
07:19:22.240
And in fact, as a woman, you can leverage your beauty to potentially translate into some
07:19:29.380
And then in addition to that, you're saying, oh, women oppressed.
07:19:39.440
Pretty much any female artist, they capitalize on their beauty.
07:19:43.020
Real life experiences, like more than dozens at a time.
07:19:55.420
I think the instance that you provided of like, okay, a woman can go and capitalize on
07:20:05.920
And I want to hear you like your honest opinion.
07:20:08.060
What percentage of women do you think are beautiful enough to get that privilege?
07:20:12.540
Is it the majority of women or is it the minority?
07:20:21.540
No, I think, I don't know if I ever give a percentage of it and probably be like, I don't
07:20:31.500
Like use their beauty to stick their foot in the door to be able to get opportunities.
07:20:37.240
That sounds like a movie version of what you think it is because that's not what it really
07:20:47.400
Because women, women who are like 40% of the, 40% of the highest, I guess, attractiveness
07:20:53.380
of women can jump on a random website and make hundreds of thousands of dollars.
07:20:58.820
Beauty gets you a whole lot in this, in this culture.
07:21:03.780
They think that have to do with just your image.
07:21:08.380
And taken seriously and like, oh, you're talented.
07:21:10.700
And then not go through a group of people that pretend like they're going to like facilitate
07:21:16.400
your career or whatever and not try to abuse their power.
07:21:21.180
Beauty gets you a whole lot in pretty much any, any industry.
07:21:29.320
If we were to assume for a second that it was only 5%, only 5%, you could agree at least
07:21:36.180
that 5% of women could possibly go that route with beauty, right?
07:21:50.740
Not without zero encounters of the type that I'm talking about.
07:22:01.880
Yeah, well, I mean, I was just going to grant it and say, well, even if it, even if it was
07:22:05.220
an abysmally low number who could leverage beauty for gain, let's say 5%, 3%, even 2%,
07:22:13.960
That wouldn't mean that women who rated themselves as a 10 and had a high esteem of their beauty
07:22:20.020
might not still follow that route thinking that they would be part of a percentile that
07:22:29.220
But that still doesn't at all, like, make me believe that you at least try to understand
07:22:35.760
that this is a very real and possible thing and version of oppression that we're talking
07:22:42.060
So, okay, women are oppressed in the music industry?
07:22:45.140
If that's what you want to fucking chalk it down to, that's all it is.
07:22:49.500
That's just, that's a personal, that's something that I can really speak on without having to
07:22:55.820
This is something from the, I've experienced myself.
07:22:58.480
Women are just oppressed in the music industry.
07:23:00.580
No, not all women, not every woman around the fucking world, not every woman in the
07:23:05.420
music industry, and in a lot of fields of work.
07:23:13.180
And so you think you haven't been able to make it in the music industry because you're
07:23:18.880
I've had to go through being potentially in really unpleasant situations in order to
07:23:30.100
Yeah, there's, yeah, there's producers that want to hit.
07:23:35.540
As a model, they all, it's not, this isn't, it's, yeah, not just like, oh, I'm, I'm good
07:23:42.760
looking and I just get these things like a piece of fucking cake, you know?
07:23:46.500
Hollywood has a terrible reputation for the cast and cast.
07:23:49.140
Yeah, but it's not, that's the only representative I can give because that's what I know.
07:23:55.240
But it goes across the board with other things.
07:24:02.880
Okay, so I think there's a difference in, okay, here's my view of feminism, right?
07:24:08.580
Because I think that what you're referring to is like suffrage.
07:24:11.240
I think that women and men do have equal rights.
07:24:13.880
I still think that you can have equal rights, but due to systemic factors, experience different
07:24:22.460
So I would argue that women and men have all the same rights, but there are added forms
07:24:26.360
of discrimination that you face as a woman that you wouldn't face as a man.
07:24:34.200
And I know we were talking about the gender pay gap earlier, but on average, like statistically
07:24:38.340
speaking, women with the same amount of experience, same amount of education, when all those factors
07:24:48.000
It's, they've, they've, if you actually control for everything, there is a small discrepancy,
07:25:25.740
And what do you say about, for example, that Asian women out-earn white men?
07:25:33.180
Can I see the statistics on that before I speak on it?
07:25:45.860
Is this perhaps evidence of sexism or even racism against white men?
07:25:52.300
Can I see the statistics before I speak on this?
07:26:11.100
I could pull up the specific infographic that would show this.
07:26:19.800
Is that like in a specific job or is that just in general?
07:26:24.260
Is this leveled out for things like years of experience in education or is this just on average population-wise?
07:26:36.360
Well, I feel like I would need a more detailed study in order to give an accurate take on this.
07:26:42.220
But I'll provide two factors why I think this could be.
07:26:46.020
One, there is a stereotype that Asian women are more educated.
07:26:51.040
There is a great pressure on them to be educated.
07:26:53.880
I think that there's two factors that could explain this.
07:26:57.960
And it could just be that they have more years of experience or greater levels of education, like more advanced degrees.
07:27:03.520
Since we don't have a study that accounts for those variables, I don't think I could accurately speak on this.
07:27:09.640
But you don't know if we have a study that accounts for those variables.
07:27:14.380
It could very well have taken bias as a variable.
07:27:20.080
Bias is included in sociological studies like this all the time as being a variable, in fact.
07:27:25.020
That's why we end up with name studies and things like this.
07:27:28.640
My kind of pushback on that would be to ask, as a counter, if you were to say, well, this could be due to the fact that there's bias due to a stereotype.
07:27:41.980
And because employers believe that Asian women are more educated, they tend to hire them at the same rate that they do men.
07:27:47.120
This is your kind of essential argument, right?
07:28:00.100
I'm arguing that I have not seen the results of this study.
07:28:12.000
The variable that you're saying it could be due to would be the fact that a stereotype provides Asian women with an advantage other women don't have
07:28:19.540
because then during hiring practices, because that stereotype exists, they're going to pay them the same as men because they believe that they're just as educated or something like this, right?
07:28:30.260
I'm not arguing that it's due to the stereotype.
07:28:34.740
Does it have like nothing years of experience and on average higher levels of education?
07:28:41.360
All right, so this is the gender pay gap in 2024.
07:28:45.400
This is, I actually, I believe a liberal-leaning company.
07:28:48.540
So, okay, this is not like, they're not trying to gaslight you here.
07:28:51.640
The uncontrolled gender pay gap, this is opportunity pay gap, measures median salary for all men and all women.
07:28:57.760
It doesn't factor in your job, how many hours worked, et cetera.
07:29:04.000
Controlled gender pay gap, this measures median salary for men and women with the same job and qualifications.
07:29:08.960
Women earn 99 cents for every $1 earned by men.
07:29:23.620
I would say that source, no, I don't think that is wrong.
07:29:28.180
I feel like with any field, you should be looking at different sources of data.
07:29:31.800
But I'm not going to try and argue with that one source now.
07:29:34.860
So, also really quick on the wage gap stuff, sports.
07:29:38.680
Do you think, for example, WNBA players should be paid the same as NBA players?
07:29:44.140
I think it should be going off of things such as number of attendance, number of views, years of experience.
07:29:49.600
Do I think that WA members should be getting more respect?
07:29:57.820
But that's not necessarily about compensation, if that makes sense.
07:30:00.340
And then, so you're kind of listing off the ways in which I asked you about rights.
07:30:06.440
You said men and women have equal rights, but women are discriminated in various ways in which men are not.
07:30:12.000
So, what are some of the other ways they're discriminated against?
07:30:14.760
I would say in the forms of, like, unpaid labor, the way that they're discriminated against in the medical field.
07:30:21.460
Like, women are believed, on average, to have higher pain tolerances.
07:30:27.020
So, a lot of medical conditions will go undiagnosed at a greater rate of women than men.
07:30:33.260
And because of this, women don't, on average, women don't receive the same medical care as men.
07:30:40.180
Don't women receive more medical care than men?
07:30:45.980
So, a woman steps into a doctor's office, a man steps into the doctor's office, there will be a, the medical care will be worse for the woman by virtue of her being a woman.
07:30:55.960
I would argue that her concerns would not be taken as seriously as a man, and it would, on average, take her longer to receive a proper diagnosis.
07:31:06.420
I believe women go to the doctors more often than men.
07:31:14.260
No, I think that could definitely be a point, yeah.
07:31:22.180
Okay, so, well, if you're not, do you think men or women tend to be more neurotic?
07:31:38.020
Well, I mean, they've done, I mean, psychologists have done.
07:31:42.560
They've done personality tests, they've done studies, and women rank higher in trait neuroticism.
07:31:55.840
Well, so, I mean, you're saying that women are less likely to get good treatment in medical context,
07:32:02.960
but women overwhelmingly receive, like, I think when it comes to, what's it called, the, like, the tax burden when it comes to medical care,
07:32:20.640
women take out way more from the tax system than do men, at least from a health care perspective.
07:32:27.200
Do you want me to, what are, what's your argument here?
07:32:34.320
Well, you're saying that women get poorer health care, but if they get more health care than men, wouldn't that counter your argument?
07:32:43.800
Do you think quantity automatically translates to quality?
07:32:46.220
No, not necessarily, but, I mean, men tend to take less from health care.
07:32:57.560
Personally, and I'll make it quick because I know it's late, everyone's tired.
07:33:02.080
One of my friends recently saw the doctor probably around 10 times.
07:33:06.360
Like you said, women visiting the doctor more on average.
07:33:13.200
She is a very, she found out that she has a condition that doesn't allow her to digest food properly.
07:33:18.640
She went through so many tests, so many different scans, everything.
07:33:23.720
She saw multiple different specialists she had to do, a bunch of different processes in order to get this diagnosed, a lot of different testing.
07:33:30.980
In order for her to do this, though, she felt like her symptoms were being dismissed by doctors.
07:33:38.280
Do you have any actual evidence that they were?
07:33:40.260
Yes, I actually do, because in one instance, and this is just one example.
07:33:47.160
I'm not trying to speak on, like, I'm just providing one example.
07:33:50.100
I don't want this to be taken as, like, overgeneralization.
07:33:52.600
I'm just speaking from personal experience right now, or my friends.
07:33:56.920
There was one instance where a doctor sent her a copy of her x-ray, and she actually had to point out something on the x-ray that was irregular, and the doctor overlooked it.
07:34:08.760
But because she's, he overlooked it because she's a woman.
07:34:14.620
Okay, the doc, did I specify the gender of the?
07:34:24.680
So did the female doctor overlook it because she's a woman?
07:34:27.920
I can't say for sure, but I just don't, I'm just saying, I'm not saying causation equals correlation.
07:34:44.100
Like, if you give the same 50 doctors the exact same x-ray, all 50 of them come out with a different diagnosis.
07:34:51.100
So it's not that, I have a really difficult time believing that the medical industry is inherently biased against women.
07:35:00.560
And one example I could think of for why it's perceived that way is a lot of this data has to be just personal accounts, personal feeling from the patients themselves.
07:35:16.060
Generally speaking, if I were to take a wild guess, I would say men probably are going to complain about their care a little less than women will.
07:35:28.480
So the statistics would be skewed towards women suggesting they get less adequate care than men because men probably just won't care as much as women will.
07:35:41.060
So that could easily explain why it seems like the health care system is more biased towards men than it is women.
07:35:51.440
Yeah, and I think that you're, I agree with parts of your argument, I do.
07:35:55.920
I think that you've made a lot of valid points tonight, yeah.
07:36:01.920
I'm just still trying to hear something where women are discriminated against.
07:36:06.840
I mean, okay, what about of the, just in the hundreds of years ago when psychology was first starting and how easily women would get committed for things that were called hysteria?
07:36:23.680
I guess I guess I would want to see the rates at which women were discriminated.
07:36:29.100
They were usually treated for hysteria a different way.
07:36:31.840
You could just be sad and then get tossed in a crazy loony bin.
07:36:34.900
Well, usually female hysteria was treated with masturbation.
07:36:38.680
Yeah, and also, yeah, electroshock, things like that.
07:36:43.160
Yeah, but you're not, you don't necessarily need that.
07:36:45.560
Committal was due to other factors generally, not due to hysteria.
07:36:50.280
The thing is, with what you consider hysteria, that's a specific thing, right?
07:36:55.840
Yeah, I get that, but that was like my example of saying that that was things like just sadness or depression that could be cured by not having be sent to a loony bin and getting more crazier.
07:37:08.840
Men were also sent to loony bins when they were crazy.
07:37:11.120
Well, again, just like Andrew just said, it's selective.
07:37:19.620
You're choosing which anecdotes to pay attention to and choosing which ones to not pay attention to.
07:37:25.160
Men also suffered from being thrown in loony bins for less than ideal reasons.
07:37:29.940
So, it's not an evidence of the patriarchy hurting, oppressing women in particular.
07:37:36.980
It's just saying that a long time ago, when technology wasn't as good and people weren't as knowledgeable about these things, people got shafted.
07:37:46.820
And none of those things at all carried on generationally.
07:37:47.500
And it doesn't matter whether it's a woman or a man, it just happens because people weren't as smart.
07:37:52.200
Yeah, but none of those ideas at all got like passed down generationally.
07:37:56.080
Little bit by bit turned into whatever version it is today.
07:38:04.140
None of it's based on patriarchy, it's just based on we weren't medically as adept, therefore men and women got the raw deal.
07:38:13.000
I mean, it was mostly husbands of women that would send them involuntarily.
07:38:18.340
I would want to see the rates of this happening.
07:38:23.840
I mean, there is some truth to the fact that there was a larger committal of women generally than men into a lot of these psychiatric hospitals.
07:38:36.420
However, try to remember that psychology itself is a soft science, and at the point in time that you're talking about, it was literally pseudoscientific.
07:38:50.180
They were doing all sorts of immoral experimentation.
07:38:52.980
But generally, it was not husbands who were doing kind of these overtly committals.
07:38:59.700
This was women who were considered the leftovers.
07:39:09.320
They were basically halfway houses for women who got pregnant out of marriage, things like this.
07:39:16.640
And they would be mostly pulled from them because a lot of them actually were mentally ill.
07:39:20.540
And yeah, a lot of them did get experimented on.
07:39:23.880
But this is, again, I'm no fan of psychology and no fan of psychiatry.
07:39:33.400
So I still really haven't heard anything compelling when it comes to women discriminated against.
07:39:47.780
I would say that I provided you with the examples that first come to mind for me.
07:39:54.100
And I know that you pulled up data that disperse that.
07:40:04.820
You know, because feminism is a game of comparison.
07:40:28.820
Secondly, if you look at who the cohort of people where experimental medications, experimental
07:40:38.840
procedures are tested on, this is overwhelmingly men.
07:40:42.180
And feminists will actually turn this around and say, for example, well, all these experimental
07:40:47.080
procedures, they're tested on men, so men fare better.
07:40:51.300
But it's not clear to me if it's some sort of male privilege or advantage for you as a
07:40:59.980
Wouldn't that actually be evidence of men faring worse?
07:41:04.320
That they are resorting to having experimental drugs and having experimental procedures done
07:41:12.860
Because they're so desperate for money, you can experiment medically on me.
07:41:17.140
So, given the case that, for example, just those two examples I gave you, that there's
07:41:23.080
male genital mutilation on most men in this country upon birth, excuse me, most boys,
07:41:29.820
and that there's, in terms of the distribution, there's much more men who are experimented on
07:41:41.340
So, couldn't I just turn that around on you and saying, when it comes to healthcare, that
07:41:45.460
men actually have these specific negative health outcomes?
07:41:48.780
Yeah, I think that that's a valid point that you raised.
07:41:51.500
When we're looking at genital mutilation, that occurs within the U.S. mainly, right?
07:41:58.900
It does, but the majority of it is occurring in the U.S.
07:42:01.460
I would say that that could be explained by that it's a cultural thing within the U.S.
07:42:06.340
If you look at Europe, for example, they don't have genital mutilation at the same rates as
07:42:11.420
What's the male population of the United States?
07:42:25.140
Let's just assume that most of those men, maybe 80-90% of those men, had a circumcision.
07:42:44.560
Why are you coming in with the framework that it's either men or women's fault?
07:42:48.100
I mean, that's a framework you guys are coming out of.
07:42:55.260
I'm just saying, if we're talking about these negative outcomes impact this group of people,
07:43:02.180
So, I mean, would you agree with me that circumcision is actually a gendered issue?
07:43:12.180
I would argue that circumcision specifically would be in the case of the U.S.
07:43:17.820
In other instances, female genital mutilation does occur in other third-developed countries.
07:43:23.960
It happens in different third-developed countries.
07:43:29.260
I just said it also occurs to women at different rates.
07:43:39.660
I am not incredibly familiar on the practice of genital mutilation for men.
07:43:45.980
What do you mean you're not familiar with the practice?
07:43:49.840
But I'm not super, super in-depth researched on it is what I'm trying to say.
07:43:56.960
I mean, obviously baby boys can't consent to this procedure.
07:44:04.220
It's not okay for any gender to have to go through.
07:44:07.740
But if we're talking about the United States...
07:44:13.320
But I want to make sure we agree on the definition of gendered issue before I make my statement.
07:44:18.260
You would argue that a gendered issue is something that occurs to one gender at a much, much higher frequency than the other.
07:44:29.040
Like, circumcision happens to men at a much higher rate.
07:44:35.200
It doesn't happen to men at a much higher rate.
07:44:45.700
But we're talking about circumcision specifically.
07:44:48.440
Then I would say that that specifically is a gendered issue.
07:44:53.200
But that has to do with the, like, medical issues men experience more?
07:45:02.600
It's mostly a religious pastime for circumcision.
07:45:05.700
Which was, which was indeed adopted culturally.
07:45:08.860
But if you're not familiar with the practice, they cut the foreskin of a baby's penis off.
07:45:17.480
The downside of that is, like, less sensation or things like that, like, that I've read up
07:45:29.920
Well, Ryan's argument here is that men overwhelmingly experience this.
07:45:37.180
And it seems that, as far as issues go, if truly feminism was about equally attacking
07:45:44.020
these types of issues, which exist, which are left on us by the patriarchy, certainly
07:45:54.160
But you never really hear feminists talk about it at all.
07:45:57.460
There's no policy prescriptions whatsoever which is ever advocated by them towards men.
07:46:03.740
Because aren't the fathers also, like, involved in that decision?
07:46:11.500
As single motherhood has been on the climb, guess what?
07:46:14.580
Circumcision still stays at about the same rate.
07:46:19.020
Mothers are every bit as responsible for this as fathers.
07:46:22.220
And also, aren't, I don't know the specific statistics on this, but I think it's OBGYNs
07:46:30.280
who perform the circumcision, and OBGYNs are predominantly, I think, predominantly women?
07:46:39.580
And they're probably advocating if their patient comes to them, well, should I have my male
07:46:47.880
They will probably make a recommendation for circumcision.
07:46:53.760
But I'm not actually trying to point the finger.
07:46:55.620
I'm not actually even trying to point the finger at men or at women.
07:46:59.100
I'm just saying, this is a negative outcome that impacts men.
07:47:04.680
Anyways, but I don't want to linger on the circumcision for too long, but I'm still, again,
07:47:09.200
when it comes to discrimination, I've not really heard a compelling argument.
07:47:12.380
And I'll just actually, I'll just show my cards.
07:47:14.440
I actually think men have been more oppressed than women.
07:47:21.920
No, I'd actually like her to respond to my statement here.
07:47:30.860
I could talk about the self-deletion rate, homelessness.
07:47:38.980
I'm trying to think what are some of the, I mean, there's the circumcision thing.
07:47:44.180
But I'm actually going to hyper-focus and zero in on just one sole male grievance.
07:47:48.840
And that comes down to, and I actually think that this one, any sort of feminist argument
07:47:53.900
is dead on arrival when it comes to, at least from a comparison perspective.
07:47:59.320
So forced military conscription throughout history and current day, I think is a bigger
07:48:04.640
grievance that's, for most of human history, nearly exclusively has been placed on men,
07:48:12.580
is a far bigger grievance, gender grievance, than really, I would argue, all of women's
07:48:25.080
So, I mean, I'd be open to hearing you actually articulate one female grievance that's greater
07:48:38.100
You can combine three, and we'll just add them up.
07:48:48.780
And are we talking, like, present day, but we're talking historical right now, too?
07:49:02.080
I would argue the exclusion of women voting, forced marriages, and exclusion from, like,
07:49:15.520
But if, okay, if you had to pick, I can actually, I'll tackle all three, but if you had to pick
07:49:22.380
It would be, I think it's really hard to compare these, because...
07:49:31.620
I think that we have two different definitions of feminism, personally.
07:49:35.840
My definition of feminism is reaching a point where, like, men and women can see each other's
07:49:41.540
perspectives and work towards solutions that benefit both of us.
07:49:48.840
But you're, I mean, you said you're taking feminist classes, this whole patriarchy theory
07:49:56.640
I mean, doesn't that immediately paint men in the negative light?
07:50:03.000
I would honestly say that, and I'm speaking truthfully here, a lot of instances in my
07:50:09.580
feminist classes, we have learned how toxic masculinity also, like, hurts men, and it
07:50:15.660
I agree with your points that toxic masculinity, or I don't know if that's what you are arguing
07:50:20.840
Well, I don't really, I don't actually even believe in that.
07:50:24.940
I don't believe that you can just be toxic as an individual, but I don't believe that
07:50:30.560
masculinity is toxic, or that femininity is toxic.
07:50:37.420
I would argue, personally, from my perspective, I know we don't see eye to eye on this, but
07:50:44.100
I would say that, personally, like, I feel like my personal view of feminism does not
07:50:58.560
Can you state to me any instance where feminism or feminist organization has ever advocated
07:51:21.660
It's called, What Prisoners Taught Me About Feminism, right?
07:51:31.440
He was taught bell hooks feminist theory really early on from a young age.
07:51:35.640
He taught feminist theory to his prison inmates, and he was able to teach them how, through feminist
07:51:49.480
I'm trying to put this into words, I'm trying to put this into words, it basically taught...
07:51:53.240
He taught them feminist theory, and they learned that a lot of their actions were being influenced
07:51:57.680
by toxic masculinity, and a lot of their actions had led them to the decisions that they had
07:52:02.000
met today, like, ended up in prison, essentially.
07:52:04.000
Through learning about feminism, he taught them how to just have a more well-rounded perspective
07:52:11.580
and include the perspectives of both men and women, and it reframed a lot of their thinking,
07:52:15.440
and I think that is one example of a feminist project.
07:52:18.780
So, that doesn't seem to be advocacy or, like, helping men, really.
07:52:40.400
That's why I have such a hard time coming up with it.
07:52:44.100
I wouldn't necessarily use that type of a blanket statement, because I...
07:52:48.680
From the feminists that I have personally met, I just don't agree with that, and that's
07:52:53.500
me speaking on personal experience, and it's okay if we don't align on that.
07:52:57.240
In fact, I would actually go even further to say that where some form of actual equality
07:53:03.980
between men and women could be achieved, or some benefit to men could be actually achieved,
07:53:14.480
So, for example, in Florida, this is pretty recent, there was a feminist organization,
07:53:20.000
I believe it's called NOW, the National Organization for Women.
07:53:22.660
There was something to equalize custody between men and women.
07:53:29.360
It should be assumed that there should be a 50-50 split in custody in Florida.
07:53:33.820
And feminist organizations actually fought against it, even though that would provide
07:53:55.500
I appreciate it in the spirited back and forth.
07:54:08.040
Also, Brian, to add on that, I also do have to...
07:54:13.680
So, I guess going back to what I was saying, so, feminists will fight against a form of
07:54:20.500
equality if that equality, in some conceivable way, could come at the detriment of women.
07:54:31.520
My personal experiences, though, have not proven that.
07:54:35.340
Well, I guess, so, since feminism has progressed since, let's just say, the 50s, 60s, I think
07:54:45.560
that's about when those topics were addressed, or the term feminism was coined.
07:54:52.300
Since those, I guess, thoughts, since their inception, the natural progression of feminism
07:55:00.680
has led to the point where they do not care about men's rights, or they will actually actively
07:55:07.940
oppose men's rights, because that's a natural progression of feminism.
07:55:11.940
Now, I understand that your position, that your idea of feminism is not exactly that, but
07:55:20.300
feminism now, and ideas in the past that have been posed, naturally lead to the point where
07:55:33.200
So, I just don't see, I don't see how feminism actually provides solutions that bring people
07:55:45.020
Can I provide, like, a little bit of my take on the situation?
07:55:49.700
So, in the past, like, I forget exactly when the term was coined, but it was coined relatively
07:55:55.940
recently, I want to say around 10 to 20 years ago, but the term of the, there's a subsection
07:56:00.940
of feminism called intersectional feminism, right?
07:56:03.600
And it takes into account the multiple identity factors of women and how this influences their
07:56:11.340
Before this, a lot of times, women of color and white women were kind of pitted against
07:56:15.480
It was not productive for the movement as a whole, right?
07:56:18.320
I would argue that a lot of women who consider themselves feminists are in a deep place of
07:56:29.180
I have been in a deep place of hurt from experiences with men.
07:56:33.260
I have been the type of person to be like, oh, I don't want to work with them.
07:56:37.120
I don't trust them, whatever, da, da, da, da, da.
07:56:38.960
And it's taken me a long place to get to the point where I don't think gender equality
07:56:44.920
I think that it does require men and women working together, of course.
07:56:47.420
I think that because a lot of women are in a place of hurt, it's hard for them to even
07:57:00.680
open up to the possibility of working with men or considering the experiences of men as
07:57:06.780
And I can't say I'm for sure on this, but I really hope that at one point more people
07:57:11.360
can realize that the only way for social change is through collective action in the majority.
07:57:15.340
And because, like, majority of the population can't just be, like, if you want social, like,
07:57:22.340
all social movements in the past, like, civil rights, like, anything regarding that has
07:57:28.300
been when the majority of the population adopts it finally, and that's when it's been able
07:57:34.200
I think that feminism will truly see progress when men and women can work together, right?
07:57:39.240
But I think that a lot of women are just at a place of hurt where they don't open themselves
07:57:47.560
Well, so even the way you framed it right there, you've had terrible experiences with
07:57:53.760
Therefore, we need to address societal issues that involve men.
07:58:00.240
The same thing can be said about men and men in their experiences with women.
07:58:09.220
I have buddies in particular who have been absolutely...
07:58:16.060
And I don't think their experiences should be discounted at all.
07:58:22.600
I just don't see any progress that can be made.
07:58:27.560
I don't see any progress that can be made if the...
07:58:35.120
I'm saying I don't see how any progress can be made if the movement is based upon this
07:58:49.920
So, when it comes down to feminism, it is very much we are being oppressed by a male...
07:58:59.180
Therefore, we need to combat that male-dominated culture to achieve some kind of equality.
07:59:04.540
I don't think that brings about any kind of unison or unity.
07:59:13.600
And I don't know if what I'm saying is coming across.
07:59:17.620
But that's literally what we've been trying to say is when it's equal.
07:59:20.620
I agree with your point that the us versus them mentality isn't productive.
07:59:52.300
So, if it really is equality, then we're trying to achieve something that's impossible.
08:00:01.860
Being treated equally and being physically and mentally equal.
08:00:09.140
If we're going to think about this logically, there is no way that men and women can be perfectly equal.
08:00:16.640
Men are always going to be stronger than women.
08:00:26.660
I'm trying to explain to you why men and women can never be equal.
08:00:31.960
So, instead of trying to force equality down people's throats when it can't be achieved,
08:00:37.020
we realize, okay, there's going to be certain struggles that men face.
08:00:40.640
There are going to be certain struggles that women face.
08:00:45.480
We have to be able to provide rights and freedoms that are equally available to all.
08:00:52.080
You're saying what I'm saying in a different way.
08:00:55.980
What rights and freedoms are given to men but not women?
08:01:04.460
I mean, I don't feel bad that you don't experience it.
08:01:06.780
If we have that, then why are we focusing on this issue that's not there?
08:01:11.600
If women have the freedoms that men do, they have the same rights and freedoms that men do,
08:01:17.060
why are we pointing at something that doesn't exist?
08:01:19.780
Okay, so if we really wanted to bring people together, if we really wanted to bring men and women together,
08:01:25.860
instead of demonizing one sex over the other, maybe we should just realize that it's not, that the issue is not there.
08:01:35.300
There is not an issue when it comes to men versus women in rights and freedoms.
08:01:41.400
I don't know how many more ways I can say it that I'm agreeing with you, but it's an out...
08:01:47.500
Like, the view of feminism currently is still as if it was the same view as it was when it first started.
08:02:00.320
I'll bring it back because we kind of derailed a little bit here.
08:02:03.100
So I made the argument that I think men have been more oppressed than women.
08:02:15.460
I disagree with your argument, but I can understand how you came to reach your argument.
08:02:22.120
Like, I understand your point of view, but I don't agree with it necessarily.
08:02:24.880
So I would assume then that your position is women have been more oppressed than men.
08:02:31.040
I've discussed this at length, and I'd like us to move to a different question.
08:02:34.520
I feel like our debate is kind of getting into the area of, like, beating a dead horse, and I feel like we've been so far.
08:02:39.340
Well, no, I mean, I haven't really made my case, but...
08:02:43.360
Okay, so I still would like an answer from you on this, though.
08:02:48.560
So if you're saying that my position is wrong, essentially, you're saying you understand how I feel,
08:02:54.860
then your position surely must be that women have been and are more oppressed than men.
08:03:01.640
I have tried explaining my position, and I just...
08:03:09.420
I have given you an answer in the past, and you have done these things.
08:03:15.380
Men face different forms of discrimination, right?
08:03:18.080
And I'd like us to move to a different subject, if that's possible.
08:03:21.560
Well, I haven't been able to really lay out my own position on this, so...
08:03:24.980
Okay, then lay it out, and instead of asking me to answer a question, I'll listen.
08:03:32.160
I have answered a lot of questions, and I'm really getting tired, if I'm being honest.
08:03:38.420
So I can actually make my argument, though, but you have to at least engage.
08:03:42.480
If you actually just answered the question, I'd be able to move it on a little faster.
08:03:53.820
Does the conversation need to have a natural end?
08:03:58.740
Well, I mean, this is really the last thing I want to talk about, so...
08:04:02.900
So there's not really anything I want to move it on to.
08:04:18.580
So if we can go back and forth and play this oppression Olympics until we're all dead and buried, it doesn't matter because nature has dictated that, again, I'm going to say it, men and women are different.
08:04:36.960
Therefore, men's struggles are going to be different than women's struggles.
08:04:39.820
I don't even think Brian and I are saying that it's inappropriate that men have been oppressed more than women in history.
08:04:51.900
I think because men have the overwhelming responsibility to take leadership because of physical characteristics, because of how men act, what their natural proclivities are,
08:05:05.680
because we have more responsibility to do these things, the punishment for shirking those responsibilities or the consequences of failing in those tasks are going to be, I guess, disproportionately efficacious towards men instead of women.
08:05:30.980
I don't know what Brian's point would say about this, but I'm not saying that, like, it's wrong that men are more oppressed by nature or have been more oppressed.
08:05:44.980
I just think it's a matter of reality, and it's not going to change no matter how much we want to argue against it.
08:05:52.080
Well, I have a question to bring it back to my point.
08:05:54.100
Do you think women should be subject to military conscription, the draft?
08:06:01.320
I think that's a more complex question than I want to answer right now.
08:06:11.440
If I told you that men are subject to forced military conscription, they are...
08:06:17.640
Actually, I think now are automatically registered.
08:06:22.060
Once you turn 18, you're automatically registered.
08:06:29.280
It got through the house, but it has to go to the...
08:06:37.800
You know, they have to register for the draft, and in the event of a draft, they would be the...
08:06:42.880
Solely subject to forced military conscription.
08:06:54.940
If I'm being honest, I don't think that men should even be drafted into the military in this sense.
08:07:01.920
So, but the current status quo is that they are, and assuming that we'll never be able to do away with a draft, would your...
08:07:14.340
Is your position that women should also be drafted?
08:07:24.980
You know, it would be in furtherance of equality, but you typically don't hear feminists arguing that women should be subject to the draft.
08:07:32.360
When I'm arguing for feminism, I know we talk a lot about equality.
08:07:39.040
I agree with you that the discrimination that men and women experience is different.
08:07:43.640
And I think in order to remedy that, equality is not the solution.
08:07:46.760
It's equity, and it's more specific, nuanced solutions.
08:07:52.300
Equity, it's essentially just accounting for the fact that people, based on various identity factors, have different experiences, right?
08:08:03.140
It's like you face discrimination in a way that I don't, right?
08:08:11.440
For the playing field to be, like, more leveled, and I hate using that term,
08:08:16.900
Like, I think you agree with that, don't you, that the...
08:08:19.840
Wait, so then are you making an equity argument against the draft?
08:08:27.600
So, it sounds like what you're saying is my understanding of equality,
08:08:36.880
So, how far you get is dependent upon what you do.
08:08:40.920
And my understanding of equity is that people's starting position will be different...
08:08:48.820
...so that everybody will end up at the same place.
08:08:55.820
Essentially, it's equality of outcome versus equality of opportunity.
08:09:01.440
Equality of outcome being equity and equality of opportunity being...
08:09:05.820
I mean, when it comes to military conscription, what would be equity?
08:09:12.900
I think it would also have to address the fact that men have been subjected to being drafted.
08:09:17.060
And, like, like you're saying, facing forms of discrimination that are different.
08:09:23.280
That's just an experience that men have had that women have had.
08:09:28.800
The solution would need to take that into account, is what I'm saying.
08:09:31.720
So, you're saying it should be women would then be overrepresented in a draft?
08:09:37.660
If I'm being honest, I'm a 21-year-old college student.
08:09:42.940
I don't truly think there is a right or wrong answer.
08:09:49.880
In my view, I do not have a singular answer to this question right now.
08:09:55.200
But, I mean, if you're a feminist and you believe in equality, wouldn't it occur to you that the equal thing would be both men and women should be subject to forced military conscription in the event of a draft?
08:10:11.080
I would have more time to think about this, if I'm being honest.
08:10:14.980
I don't understand what there is to think about it.
08:10:15.940
If you hold, like, an equality of outcome as, like, your...
08:10:24.100
So, in the event of a draft, the outcome would be people, regardless of sex, being forced to be put into the military.
08:10:32.280
Now, if we include sex into that argument, then to achieve equality of outcome, an equal amount of men and an equal amount of women would have to be forced to join the military.
08:10:44.740
So, you would be for that because you hold the value that equality of outcome should be pursued.
08:10:54.260
I would need more information, more time to process, and, like, just research on my own in order to form a singular answer myself.
08:11:01.360
And I'm sorry if that's not satisfying to you guys.
08:11:05.800
I mean, it would occur to me that if feminism is about equality, and here is a way in which men and women are not equal, and it could be legislated fairly simply to just say women get the same treatment as men and would be subject to forced military conscription in the event of a draft.
08:11:27.900
They would have to register for the draft the same way men do.
08:11:30.140
They would face the same consequences that men do when they don't register for the selective service.
08:11:38.040
It's just I can't – I don't understand how, as a feminist and someone who's in favor of equality, your knee-jerk reaction isn't to just say, yes, that would be equality.
08:11:48.600
I think that women – and I said earlier that I think that, yes, this is an issue that needs to be remedied.
08:11:58.660
But I don't have an answer in the fact that, like, the equity versus equality distinction.
08:12:04.240
I would need more time in order to form that opinion.
08:12:10.080
I feel like I keep repeating myself, and I feel like this isn't going anywhere, if I'm being honest.
08:12:15.860
I have a quick question, if I'm allowed to talk about that.
08:12:18.200
Well, I'm trying to – I guess I'm trying to walk you to –
08:12:24.600
How would it not be equality for both men and women to be both equally subject to forced military conscription in the event of a draft?
08:12:46.780
Could you just – could you just agree that it would be an equal outcome?
08:12:50.680
If a draft were to happen, and if we're talking about equality among the sexes, would it not be – just take out all of the social, political charge that comes with it.
08:13:06.920
Would it just not be equal in the outcome if men and women both got military conscription?
08:13:21.500
You can't – you're asking me to remove the layers of the –
08:13:28.360
Well, I mean, when it comes to – do you think that women should be barred from volunteering for the military?
08:13:37.280
I'm not – so I'm not saying that you did, but if you're fine with women being in the volunteer military,
08:13:44.940
then why would you not also be fine with women being forced into – like, if there's a draft for forced military conscription?
08:13:54.860
Like, you don't think they should be barred from volunteering from the military, correct?
08:14:02.100
My earlier point was that I don't think that anyone should be forced to do that.
08:14:18.560
Personally, I don't think it's fair to force anyone to do that.
08:14:20.180
Right, but in a world where war happens and there's military conflicts,
08:14:24.400
assuming in a world where you could never get rid of the draft, what is your prescription there?
08:14:43.640
If you believe in equality, men and women should both be drafted.
08:14:49.540
They can do logging positions, BFM positions, whatever, whatever.
08:14:52.360
If you're a man, you can be there on the front lines.
08:14:57.400
You can still have equality within being drafted, men and women.
08:15:03.420
The issue is people love talking about let's find equality of outcome,
08:15:08.760
but then when it comes to issues like this where it's obvious that men should be the ones fighting
08:15:16.900
So you guys are stronger, so you guys should be the ones getting drafted.
08:15:19.880
Okay, so when it comes to male roles in this place, when it benefits women, you're all for it.
08:15:27.140
But when other effects occur, you're all against it.
08:15:32.320
No, when you sit there and you say feminism, first of all, feminism is not for equality at all.
08:15:40.460
That's what it came up as, but that's not what it should be.
08:15:48.340
Okay, well, if it was truly about equality, then this should be answered in an instant.
08:16:02.940
But most feminists don't like to say that, because all of a sudden it brings up all of these issues.
08:16:08.460
Like, okay, well, it just feels wrong, because obviously...
08:16:14.860
It felt wrong for men to think that we could possibly be in the same role in a war.
08:16:22.480
But that works for us if we want to get drafted.
08:16:25.160
Yeah, well, that goes to my worldview, that men and women are intrinsically different.
08:16:29.900
Therefore, they will have intrinsically different experiences.
08:16:33.500
They will have intrinsically different downsides to their life as a man, woman.
08:16:41.100
No matter how hard we try to work against that, we will always have biology, being a man
08:16:47.020
or a woman, that will dictate what our experience will be.
08:16:57.140
But she also did make a good point about still being rolled with a man.
08:17:01.480
I don't believe in the whole feminist bullshit, but I do believe if men are going to be drafted,
08:17:19.480
For the actual pure sake of pure, unadulterated equality, women should also be...
08:17:32.500
But apparently we haven't been physically able to equally.
08:17:36.820
That's equality of outcome because an equal amount of women are getting slaughtered as an equal amount of men.
08:17:47.640
If equality is our ultimate goal, then we should pursue equality in all things.
08:17:52.680
Therefore, we need to pursue equality in how many people die in war.
08:18:09.860
I apologize if there's a goal and what it's turned into doesn't make sense to you.
08:18:23.640
If a form of equality in some conceivable way comes at the detriment of women, for example, it would be equality for both men and women to be drafted.
08:18:35.900
But it would conceivably come as a new detriment to women.
08:18:42.060
Feminists will not fight for said equality, even though it is equality.
08:18:47.960
So, of course, feminism is not an equality movement.
08:18:51.060
It's, if I can be the most charitable, it's a women's advocacy movement.
08:18:55.340
Nothing wrong with women's advocacy, but let's not sit here and lie and say that it's equality.
08:19:05.400
Otherwise, they would be advocating for all sorts of things that would conceivably come at the detriment and to the detriment of women, but they don't.
08:19:14.240
I think we're both equally skewed, and this is never going to, like, really...
08:19:18.440
Anyways, I mean, I'm just surprised that the feminist here who's taken feminist classes just, I mean, it's...
08:19:36.040
I think that we have had very different experiences that have shaped different viewpoints.
08:19:42.700
I don't think a resolution is going to be reached.
08:19:50.660
But how would our lived experiences have anything to do with what is a hypothetical scenario where there's a draft?
08:20:01.120
Granted, there are actually tangible things, like I had to register for the Selective Service and able to get the right to vote.
08:20:08.640
If I didn't register for the Selective Service, I would face all sorts of penalties.
08:20:19.060
There's also, you can't get certain student loans, federal student loans, for example.
08:20:28.600
So, I'm confused why our lived experiences have anything to do with you being able to acknowledge that women...
08:20:41.320
As a feminist, you seem to be in favor of equality.
08:20:44.640
Why can't you just say women should be subject to the draft the same way men are?
08:20:50.040
I think that you want to get an answer out of me.
08:20:54.680
And I don't think we're going to reach a resolution.
08:20:56.000
I think we just want logic to be applied to this specific scenario.
08:21:02.140
Well, it's because we're engaging with a logical conclusion that if feminism is really, truly about equality, then in the most extreme cases, it should still be about equality.
08:21:19.200
We've had this conversation multiple times with many women.
08:21:21.960
Any time we bring up this instance, it's like pulling teeth.
08:21:25.620
You cannot get people to be logical about this.
08:21:28.120
You can't get feminists to be logical about this because it's the most extreme example of equality.
08:21:34.620
And they will not agree that it should be equal because they will try to jump through all these hula hoops.
08:21:45.160
Not many objections have been coming right now.
08:21:48.920
It's so exhausting because all we want to do, just follow the logical trail and it's impossible to do so.
08:21:59.060
You agreed to the logic that if we really wanted to be free, then they're equal, then...
08:22:06.640
If I ask you the question, are you willing to concede that feminism is not about equality?
08:22:11.340
I think that feminism is about equity and I think I mentioned that earlier.
08:22:15.740
I'm a little confused what the difference between equity and equality.
08:22:19.920
Equity takes into account the fact that due to different identity factors, people have different experiences.
08:22:27.460
Women actually, I think, make excellent snipers.
08:22:30.500
What would preclude a woman from being drafted to be a sniper?
08:22:35.120
I am not familiar enough with the military to engage in this discussion and we're not going to reach a resolution.
08:22:43.280
Okay, well, I mean, it's a little shifting goalpost, though.
08:22:46.380
So, I mean, couldn't we just return this equity thing?
08:22:52.000
I mean, wouldn't there be perhaps equitable reasons for why that exists, even though it's been debunked on the show?
08:23:06.060
So if a corporation said, for equity reasons, we've determined that men should be paid more than women, for equity reasons, would you think that that's fair?
08:23:20.960
I don't think we see eye on this and that's okay.
08:23:27.200
But why is it equity only to the benefit of women?
08:23:33.080
It considers everyone, but I have told you guys that I am tired.
08:23:38.060
I don't think we're going to reach a resolution.
08:23:39.340
We understand, but it's like you're using your physical exhaustion to not engage with a logical argument.
08:23:53.020
Can you follow this logical trail and agree that it's logical?
08:24:02.560
It's pretty much every feminist I've ever talked to is unable to do that.
08:24:13.900
If someone provides me with logical arguments for why my point of view is wrong,
08:24:18.980
I am able to walk down that logical trail with them and agree with them,
08:24:24.560
If equality is really what I'm looking for, or equity is really what I'm looking for,
08:24:28.760
I can walk down this logical trail and I can agree with you.
08:24:31.960
Or I can find the place where your logic deviates from my logic and we can discuss that.
08:24:41.400
You have not been able to provide us where our logic is flawed.
08:24:45.040
It's always come down to either I'm tired or it's complicated, I can't explain it.
08:24:52.180
If you can't explain it, I just don't know why you have such a strong opinion on the matter.
08:24:59.940
When obviously our opinion has been a lot more logical, we've been able to draw more logical conclusions.
08:25:09.760
That's why we're trying to push this subject so heavily.
08:25:12.720
Well, there's also a bit of shifting the goalposts.
08:25:17.500
So when it suits you as a feminist, you want equality.
08:25:24.260
You want to pick and choose when to apply equality and when to apply equity, which I find interesting.
08:25:31.440
In any case, I don't think we're going to get really any engagement on this.
08:25:39.520
Oh, this has been a very long, super fucking...
08:25:46.300
Well, with that said, though, it was very interesting tangling with you on this.
08:25:52.500
It was interesting hearing your guys' perspectives.
08:25:54.320
I want you to know, even though we disagree, I thought you were actually...
08:26:01.140
If people just agree with everything, things can be kind of dull.
08:26:06.640
So I actually want to commend you for providing pushback on my worldview, I think on Mason's worldview.
08:26:13.780
If everyone just agreed with us, it would be rather...
08:26:18.740
You can't expect everyone to agree on everything.
08:26:22.780
I appreciate you guys being civil and I appreciate you guys sharing your perspectives.
08:26:27.840
Yeah, so I do, yes, certainly want to thank you for...
08:26:32.600
And obviously, I hold, even though we disagreed, hold no ill will towards you at all.
08:26:43.320
Anyways, we're going to try to get everybody out here.
08:27:04.860
Seeing conversations like this take place, I have become more convinced that the 19th Amendment
08:27:27.800
But I also think they should be forced into the military and also be forced to die and
08:27:33.960
Does that make me more of a feminist or more of a misogynist?
08:27:44.480
You can't hyphenate a word and change the root meaning of the word.
08:27:48.180
Toxic behavior has nothing to do with masculinity.
08:28:22.780
Only women get to go to war and do the fighting.
08:28:26.700
You know, I think that's, that would be equity, actually.
08:28:32.640
Do you know how quickly America would just disappear?
08:28:55.700
You're going to sit there and you're going to trust them to shoot a gun?
