  Coming to you live from deep within a sunny and actually quite nice, radioactive
• 0:08
  wasteland. We are the survivors of the alt right tech apocalypse, once more,
• 0:13
  wading into battle against the lobster, zombie Barbie hordes. Oh, the
• 0:20
  few, of the brave, of the Bitchie, I forgot that one.
• 0:22
  The few, once more wading into battle against the froggy lobsters, zombie hordes,
• 0:28
  and Barbie Hordes, with debating whether or not Barbie is woke or anti
• 0:35
  woke rant Zerker number one seventy five. Well, yeah, we're so revisiting
• 0:42
  the topic of last you know, speaking of revisiting things, maybe you need
• 0:48
  a shorter intro. No, but then I wouldn't screw it up and everybody
• 0:52
  would be like, she's been replaced by a bot. This is the this
• 0:56
  is an FBI. Um, it's asset asset. I should become an FBI
• 1:04
  asset. Run Yeah no, um, so anyway, it's how you know
• 1:11
  this is a real person. Yeah. No, you do stumble over your
• 1:17
  words quite a bit, Yes, I do. Much is not not my
• 1:21
  first language. I've I've noticed, like an inordinate number of times just watching
• 1:27
  videos and stuff. Um, over the last few days, hearing people put
• 1:37
  words back to front. M. You know, like same thing, things
• 1:42
  like basque act words or or you know, things like that. Um,
• 1:48
  but not on purpose. M hmmm. Spooner is yeah. And and like
• 1:55
  just I've been noticing them. I've been noticing so many. I'm wondering if
• 2:00
  I'm the one with the problem. Maybe I have a phasia, maybe I'm
• 2:02
  having a stroke or something, or you could be watching the Barbie movie.
• 2:10
  No, I did not do that. I'm not you know, I know
• 2:14
  I'm not living it either. I No, it's it's fine if you want
• 2:17
  to keep it out of your life. I respect that choice. Yes,
• 2:21
  if you prefer to be Barbie free, that's that's understandable. I was referencing
• 2:27
  this song I'm a Barbie Girl. That song is too cool for this movie.
• 2:34
  Have a song that I like to reference that's relevant. Okay, it's
• 2:38
  been seven hours and fifteen since you took your love away anyway, and Paul
• 2:55
  Rubens sadly, Oh, it hasn't been that long. It hasn't been so
• 3:00
  seven hours and fifteen days since she passed. Did you know sand O'Connor actually
• 3:05
  spoke up for men? She did at one point, Yeah, she was.
• 3:07
  But she but if you like, search her up visit nothing but feminist
• 3:12
  shit, like you know, well, yeah, they appropriate every every woman.
• 3:15
  Yeah, she probably was a woman. She was probably a bit of
• 3:19
  both. If a woman does something, feminism immediately jumps on her and says,
• 3:23
  we allowed you to do that, and we we actually, um take
• 3:29
  credit for what you Yeah, we credit because it was feminism that allowed you
• 3:31
  to do that. Yeah, okay, um, and the one feminist thing
• 3:39
  or slightly feminist thing that you may have said in your thirty year career shows
• 3:44
  that you were died in the wool. Yeah, true feminist icon. Well
• 3:49
  she did she she did say she was a feminist, but then it was
• 3:52
  also in the nineties, and she's immediately said afterwards that when men need their
• 3:55
  own movement and that men being a man is actually harder than being a woman.
• 4:00
  Yeah, you know, but not wrong. But Allison, she shaved
• 4:06
  her head. She was obviously a lesbian, separatist feminist who had she was
• 4:14
  a lesbian, right, I don't know, I don't think so, I
• 4:16
  don't she had children? Yeah, okay, well you know, yeah,
• 4:25
  it's all that it's kind of surface level, like you know, the women
• 4:30
  look like this too kind of a thing. But I mean whatever, I
• 4:31
  didn't really I mean, you know, we considering, considering the communities that
• 4:39
  you were, apparently in Brian, I would imagine you wouldn't really care.
• 4:43
  No, I don't. I mean no, I I it wasn't that I
• 4:46
  didn't care about her bald head. I was just like, okay, between
• 4:51
  between her and the woman who was in the first Star Trek movie. Oh,
• 5:00
  um, I don't know. Oh gosh, the name is just on
• 5:04
  the tip of my tongue. I know exactly who you're talking about. Yeah,
• 5:08
  Dealton with the pheromones. Yeah, she came aboard and and I don't
• 5:13
  know, someone was like, are you going to use those pheromones to seduce
• 5:15
  every man aboard? And she's like, no, I have taken a bow
• 5:18
  of celibacy, except for the one dude who was poorly the captain. No,
• 5:26
  well, I don't know whether No, it wasn't the cabinet. It
• 5:28
  was like, no, no, he wasn't the captain at the moment.
• 5:30
  But but Kirk went back to the Enterprise and took over the cabinet since from
• 5:35
  him, Yeah, because and because he was like he was like a poor
• 5:41
  man's copy of Commander Riker, who is a poor man's copy of someone Mama.
• 5:48
  Oh no, the dude, the dude who fell in love with the
• 5:51
  bald headed check and star Trek. Yeah. No. As an actor,
• 5:56
  he was like as lame as Jonathan Frakes. M hmmm, I mean Jonathan
• 6:00
  freaks at his moment, Alita, I think Aliyah Aliyah that was the name.
• 6:09
  That was the name. Okay, it's a total auditory chaos right now.
• 6:13
  Well, I'm just I'm waiting to get to what we're going to be
• 6:15
  getting to. So okay, let us clear up the thing about the baldness.
• 6:23
  Okay, all right. I cared about Janade's baldness because I knew I
• 6:30
  couldn't look that good bald. Yeah. You gotta really, you gotta respect
• 6:35
  the bald women. Yeah no, if because they got they got perfect skulls.
• 6:41
  If I could have been bald and gotten away with it and looked that
• 6:45
  good, I would have fucking yeah, get rid of it. Don't have
• 6:49
  to do anything with it. Yeah, I don't even think your hair is
• 6:53
  as difficult as mine. Oh, you haven't, no idea. You've never
• 6:59
  seen me with my hair long, Yeah, you've never seen me with my
• 7:04
  hair not looking like a bush. Yeah, cousin it, cousin hit that
• 7:11
  was me a bush, but a bush right in front of my face,
• 7:16
  in my mouth, in my eyes, up my nose. I can't say
• 7:23
  that I had that problem. All right, we better get we get it.
• 7:26
  Now that we have cleared up the baldness, let us do the business,
• 7:30

  I mean, if you've been here this long, I don't know how
• 8:33
  you have not noticed that digressions is what we do well. And I don't
• 8:37
  understand how you would not know that. Any stream I'm on, if I
• 8:41
  can talk about anything other than Barbie, she will take those she'll take those
• 8:46
  opportunities or so like playing whack a mole with Karen to keep her on topic.
• 8:52
  But also consider that the topics we cover tend not to be even as
• 8:56
  fun as this one, because there are much worse topics related to men's issues
• 9:03
  than Barbie and all of the nonsense there. Barbie living in a dream world.
• 9:07
  What a surprise. I okay, So please help us out feed the
• 9:09
  Badger dot com slash support. If we don't get any new supports between now

  decide that they don't like the work one type of word that you've used,
• 10:13
  they'll yoink the whole thing and give it to some cause. I think they
• 10:16
  still do that. I don't know, do they. I don't understand how
• 10:20
  they could legally get away with it. Yeah, well they. I don't
• 10:24
  understand how the Canadian government can legally get away with doing what it's doing right
• 10:28
  now. But here we are, each judge after judge after judge is saying,
• 10:33
  yep, that's okay, well, constitution, I wiped my ass with
• 10:39
  that. No, that is your political minute for the day. Our constitution
• 10:43
  is stupid. Every every single clause is like, you have these rights guaranteed,
• 10:48
  except but not really except for if the government doesn't want to give it
• 10:54
  to you. Yeah, thinks that you shouldn't have them in your in your
• 11:01
  particular case. Okay, so once again, help us out it. Feed
• 11:03
  the Badger dot com slash support. Even five dollars would be wonderful just to
• 11:07
  get us started. Don't scare the crap out of me, guys. Feed
• 11:11
  the Badger dot com slash support. All right, So I watched Barbie for
• 11:16
  the third goddamn time. Why would you do that? Oh, no,
• 11:22
  it's the second time, And no, it's no, I've been watching.
• 11:24
  I think here's the thing. I think it's the second time because we once
• 11:28
  with Lindsay, and then I watched it with you and doctor Randmracam and Lauren,
• 11:31
  and then you watched it again on your own unless you watch the parts
• 11:35
  of it or something. I watched parts of it. I've I've been sort
• 11:39
  of moving around in it because I find some of it tremendously boring. Um,
• 11:46
  I'll have to confess I really don't know too much detail about any time
• 11:54
  the human Woman is on and her child because I just sort of skipped those
• 11:58
  parts or give them very lightly. So I considering um that I've been sort
• 12:05
  of constructing the story based on clips from the other parts. I feel like
• 12:11
  the only purpose of that woman in the entire movie is to simply give her
• 12:16
  screed about how women are victims of society. Well I would I wouldn't know
• 12:24
  because I haven't watched the movie. So you know, I think that I'm
• 12:31
  not qualified to discuss this and I should probably go yeah, um, well,
• 12:39
  actually I think if that's okay with you guys, uh no, no,
• 12:46
  say you can. You can. You can discuss this by proxy because
• 12:48
  you pick up there's not even much to figure out about this story, Okay,
• 12:54
  I don't even want to suffer through its second hand. He's it's but
• 12:58
  the question and is like the question that we have before the court is whether
• 13:01
  or not it's woke or anti woke. I'm not sure Brian was gonna argue
• 13:07
  that it's woke, and I'm going to argue that it's anti woke. You
• 13:11
  maybe make the decision yourself. They're caring, well you think it is.
• 13:15
  All I know is I've heard that it's a critique of woke. No that
• 13:22
  I will say a hard now with that that it's that, it's that it
• 13:28
  is a movie that exaggerates wokeness in parody, however, cannot cannot be distinguished
• 13:41
  from woke. It is the ultimate. There's something that Harvey Weinstein said that
• 13:48
  and I know that we all hate him twoey um, but he said that
• 13:52
  Hollywood is suffering from a lack of people like him who simply say no,
• 13:58
  or alternatively say, actually, get your ass back and your pants. Because
• 14:03
  I would say that this film, rather than being intentionally anti woke, and
• 14:07
  I was going to argue the anti woke side of this, I don't think
• 14:11
  it's intentionally anti woke. I think that this is simply a result of all
• 14:16
  of the men in the background just not telling the woman who wrote this and
• 14:20
  directed it, Yeah, your ass is showing. You know, you're having
• 14:26
  a wardrobe malfunction in terms of your writing. You don't know what the hell
• 14:31
  you're writing. And they just sort of let it fly. They just looked
• 14:35
  at it and said, you know, I'm just not even going to I'm
• 14:37
  not even tell this woman she doesn't want to be told. I don't want
• 14:39
  to man explain to this woman about the themes she's actually writing. And I
• 14:45
  think that that's where the feeling of it being anti woke is coming from.
• 14:48
  It's coming from the fact that nobody set this woman down and said, what
• 14:52
  you're writing, what you think you're writing, is not what people are seeing.
• 14:56
  And honestly, I'm pretty sure that a lot of the women with the
• 15:01
  same mindset of this woman will also see what she sees. Yeah, but
• 15:07
  I don't think that that's really what she is actually putting on paper, so
• 15:13
  to speak. Having watched more carefully, I Okay, is there anything I'm
• 15:20
  gonna ask I'm gonna ask Brian this, is there anything in the sequences with
• 15:24
  the human woman and her daughter that you felt was particularly woke? Um?
• 15:35
  So the daughter and the mother are they are going through a hard time for
• 15:43
  whatever reason them, the daughter and the mother are fighting about something. They
• 15:48
  don't really make that what it is clear. We know that the daughter is
• 15:52
  like, you know, a generation Alpha or zoomer girl that has like the
• 15:58
  most like you know, intersectional woke politics, and sometimes they even make it
• 16:04
  sound like there's a bit of a joke about it, but it's not really
• 16:10
  attacking that wave of feminism. The intersectionality. It's not really attacking it because
• 16:15
  when the mother has a you know, goes on her speech about how hard
• 16:22
  it is to be a woman no matter what, right, the daughter smiles
• 16:26
  and like takes pleasure in that because and so she's like, oh, my
• 16:30
  mom gets it, my mom gets it right. So it's not it's there
• 16:36
  is no there the whatever they're fighting about, we don't really make it clear.
• 16:41
  We don't really know what it is. Well, I guess she's the
• 16:45
  girl is growing up. She's not into you know, being a child.
• 16:48
  She's no longer her mother's daughter, like as a little girl anymore. She's
• 16:52
  becoming a woman. Maybe, I don't know. They don't really make that
• 16:55
  clear. It's one of those it's one of many things that they don't really
• 16:57
  follow up on in terms of like they just wanted to make the relationship between
• 17:03
  the mother and the daughter tense, and so they did that. And there
• 17:06
  is a father. She doesn't have a father in the movie, but he
• 17:10
  is useless. He doesn't do anything. Well, we are a stepdad,
• 17:14
  I guess, because you remember there's a scene where there's a chase and she
• 17:18
  does some stunt driving and the daughter's like, where'd you learn that. And
• 17:22
  I guess she was like, oh, you know your father or whatever,
• 17:23
  so like this is this is a stepdad. It's not even his kid.
• 17:27
  And he's like this, you know, beta male guy with glasses and he's
• 17:30
  trying to learn Spanish. And oh, isn't he so hilarious? Look at
• 17:34
  men when they when they're not dangerous to women, they're like this, they're
• 17:38
  basically harmless pets. He's like a he's like a hamster that they keep at
• 17:42
  home, like yeah, well or worse, yeah, or worse. And
• 17:48
  he's and he's doing and yeah, and this guy is kind of like you
• 17:53
  know he So the father no impact on this girl whatsoever. And the the
• 17:59
  the X, I guess the father of her of her daughter not in the
• 18:03
  picture. But oh a bad boy though, right, oh yeah, like
• 18:06
  probably in a biker gang or something. Probably a stunt man. Who knows.
• 18:10
  We don't know. We just know he was a better man because she
• 18:12
  had a kid with him, even though he's not in the picture anymore.
• 18:15
  So he served his purpose. He donated his sperm. And now we're moving
• 18:18
  on. So sorry I went on a little bit of a tirade there,
• 18:22
  but there is no there is nothing about them except they be fighting and then
• 18:29
  by the end they made up and that's it, Like there's nothing else we
• 18:32
  don't even Basically, the mother became more like her daughter and that made the
• 18:36
  relationship good. Yeah, I honestly I skipped those I mostly like I did
• 18:44
  watch them with like in half an ear, and I wasn't actually feeling anything
• 18:48
  plotty in them, you know, no real emotional impact. So I'm like,
• 18:52
  I don't think I need to even watch this stuff to even understand the
• 18:56
  plot. Like you could have cut that whole thing out completely, the whole
• 19:02
  relationship with the mother and the daughter, and it does not really impact the
• 19:06
  plot whatsoever. I think they just had it in order to have a young
• 19:10
  girl in there, well because it's supposedly a children's show, like they wanted
• 19:15
  to have the point of view character, you know, and they yeah,
• 19:18
  I know. I honestly I don't think No, I mean, go ahead,
• 19:22
  I don't. I don't think it's a lot of credit. I think
• 19:25
  it's just like, oh, we're doing it, We're doing we're trying to
• 19:26
  hit like the elementary school. Okay, okay, yeah, no is this
• 19:33
  is this girl the owner of one of the barbies no, no, her
• 19:37
  mother is her mother was, but she tried to give the barbies to the
• 19:40
  little girl and the girl doesn't want them. So because she's further along,
• 19:47
  I just realized something. Do you think that this is the reason why Barbie
• 19:51
  is having her existential crisis about death at the beginning, because the mom is
• 19:56
  playing with the dolls? Yes, and like her emotional stage, her echological
• 20:00
  state is impacting her Barbie doll. That's okay. There's a lot no no,
• 20:04
  no, no, no no ontology in this. That's very enough.
• 20:07
  The mom is playing, is playing with the Barbie dolls, but she has
• 20:11
  no one to pass these Barbie dolls too, because the daughter doesn't sound them
• 20:15
  because the mom played with him too long and now the daughter's too old for
• 20:19
  them. M Also because Barbie is how old is the daughter? She's like
• 20:25
  Barbie Wright preteen or like she's like a tween, she's like thirteen something like
• 20:30
  that. Yes, okay, I got it. That's too old to give
• 20:33
  your get your Barbie. Well and maybe, but I mean I think that
• 20:37
  she probably had played with them and then grew out of it, is what
• 20:41
  you know. Like so like her like this was being passed down. You
• 20:45
  have to think of it in the terms of feminist legacy, because that's kind
• 20:48
  of what's going on. Right, So when the movie opens, let me
• 20:52
  just explain this real quick. When the movie opens, they they they give
• 20:56
  you this back sos. Helen Mirren gives the backstory of Oh for since the
• 21:00
  beginning of time, little girls only played with baby dolls, and so this
• 21:03
  is oppressive. She doesn't say this explicitly, but it's pretty clear that it's
• 21:07
  oppressive because it's training women to be mothers by giving them baby dolls. And
• 21:11
  the Barbie doll was the feminist doll, right, it was the doll that
• 21:15
  girls could play with. It had some of the features of a baby doll,
• 21:18
  like you could comb the hair and you could dress them up. But
• 21:22
  she wasn't a baby. She was a grown woman. She could do anything.
• 21:26
  So you had like all of these different outfits, because that's essentially what
• 21:30
  a job is in the eyes of these women, it's just outfits. So
• 21:33
  like you had a different outfit for the different jobs. Right, No,
• 21:36
  that's what it was, though, Like I mean, when you're when you're
• 21:37
  a child, that's enough. Like my sister had a ton of them.
• 21:41
  She had the dreamhouse, she had the car, she had all that shit,
• 21:45
  and it was all about you know, like us and consumption and appearance
• 21:52
  sort of. Yeah, I mean I don't want to necessarily because I do
• 21:56
  think it does. It was popular for reason outside of simply being consumed.
• 22:03
  It was I think that the you know, I remember a show I did
• 22:06
  with Aidan Paladin a while back years ago, and we talked about what the
• 22:10
  differences between the way that boys play games and the way that girls play games.
• 22:15
  And so when girls play games, and this is also how they play
• 22:18
  with toys, they want to create like sort of social scenarios of you know
• 22:22
  where, of everyday life. And it's a very domesticated and most girls before
• 22:26
  you guys come in and say I didn't do that, Most girls do that,
• 22:30
  right. That's why they the the Barbie dolls popular because yeah, they
• 22:34
  have tea parties, school, they play school, they play house, they
• 22:38
  play doctor, they you know with the and the doll. The dolls help
• 22:41
  them do that. Boys, they they're when they play with toys, it's
• 22:45
  about adventure. It's about you know, fighting against evil. It's things like
• 22:48
  that. Right, So it's just it's just different, and that's fine.
• 22:52
  Yeah, boys in Indians, army men, cops and robbers exactly, um,
• 22:57
  slaying dragons like whatever. So it's just different and it's different appeal.
• 23:03
  So the Barbie doll was made so that girls can have that, They would
• 23:06
  have that space and they create that place where they where they play pretend and
• 23:11
  Barbie and I and again because I saw what my sister's toys were, Um,
• 23:15
  you know it was it was the thing that made it really appealing was
• 23:19
  how detailed everything was. So if you get like her little shopping cart and
• 23:23
  her little her little like things that she could buy, you know, the
• 23:26
  food and whatnot, you can look at it and you see, wow,
• 23:29
  that's a real Like that's actually like a box of corn flakes. I mean
• 23:32
  there's obviously no corn flakes in it, but it's got the sticker on it
• 23:34
  that has the same print, right, And so the cans and the boxes
• 23:38
  and all the groceries was was meant to look real and so and like you
• 23:44
  could put her shoes on, and you could dress her up in different clothes
• 23:47
  and change her hair and all that. That was what the appeal was.
• 23:49
  It was in that that level of detail that no other toy had. In
• 23:53
  fact, um, I remember The male equivalent of this was actually g I
• 23:56
  Joe. And I had a friend who had GI Joe. And I'm not
• 24:00
  talking about the little ones from like the eighties. I mean the ones that
• 24:03
  were basically the same scale as a Barbie doll. And the difference thingulated one.
• 24:08
  Yeah, they had like hair that you could touch, you know,
• 24:11
  little buzz cuts, but they still had hair and beards, and they were
• 24:15
  like wearing military clothes, and there was all these details you could put like
• 24:18
  little holsters on them and like rifles and backpacks and canties, you know,
• 24:25
  all of it. But and and instead of just their shoulders and hips move
• 24:30
  jointing smooth, yeah, it was like all of it, and the wrist
• 24:33
  wrists and then the ankles and the knees. Yeah. So the point of
• 24:38
  that was that boys wanted to do more, you know, like action oriented
• 24:44
  stuff, physical stuff with their Gi Joe's, whereas the girls that they were
• 24:48
  perfectly satisfied with her just you know, standing there like minimal movement, looking
• 24:53
  pretty. She can maybe sit so she can get in you know, sit
• 24:56
  down for tea or cards or get in her are or whatever. So functionally
• 25:02
  wise, a functionality wise, that was the point and I think that it
• 25:06
  was. I mean, it was the most popular, probably still is the
• 25:07
  most popular girl's toy when I worked in a toy store, you know the
• 25:12
  barbie section. You knew it when you saw it. Everything was pink,
• 25:17
  and it was very popular. And it was also really popular with older women
• 25:19
  who were collectors because they would make these collectors edition barbies that were you know,
• 25:25
  they had I don't know, they represented like a country, or they
• 25:29
  were miss Universe, or they were from you know, I don't know,
• 25:32
  just whatever, like the Oscars or something. Right, they would have all
• 25:34
  these special edition collector's item barbies and women would buy them. So but I
• 25:41
  don't think I think that the My point is, and I'm getting way off
• 25:45
  course, but from the beginning the introduction of the barbie, which by the
• 25:49
  way, was created by a woman who was the CEO of Mattel. Okay,
• 25:53
  so a woman created it. And then yes, the character that the
• 25:56
  woman is a character in the movie, and she is the CEO of Mattel,
• 26:00
  which which if you want to make a point, you cannot ignore that
• 26:06
  she was the CEO, and she was until like the nineties, right,
• 26:08
  so not not like for a little a short period of time. Um,
• 26:14
  she made that doll specifically because she believed that if if women, if the
• 26:18
  little girls are growing up with baby dolls and they're it's sort of telling them
• 26:22
  the only thing they can be are mothers. And so she wanted to change
• 26:26
  that, and that was a feminist act at the time. But the difference
• 26:30
  the thing is, though, as time moves on, feminism just wants more
• 26:33
  and more and more and more and more and more and more and more for
• 26:37
  women. So obviously Barbie's gonna look like a dinosaur now, and that's why
• 26:41
  they introduce it as a feminist thing, but they immediately tear it down when
• 26:45
  the young girl who's like represented a new generation, when she goes on a
• 26:51
  tirade on Barbie and makes her cry. It's not because she's meant to be
• 26:56
  a parody of wokeness, the teenage girl girl. It's because she's saying that
• 27:02
  despite the fact that this may have initially been intended to make women feel empowered,
• 27:07
  it's got it's problematic for a whole new list of reasons because we're never
• 27:11
  satisfied. So that's why, you know, I remember women that would go
• 27:15
  way back in the day. They would go on the News on on Like
• 27:18
  panel discussions about how Barbie's body proportions are so impossible for women to achieve that
• 27:25
  it's doing harm to little girls. And I'm like, like, nobody,
• 27:29
  if you care about that, something's wrong with you, Like it's a toy.
• 27:32
  That'd be like me looking at Heman and saying, why don't I look
• 27:34
  like that? I'm gonna go hang myself like no, you know, but
• 27:41
  yeah, or Ken? But I mean like, but boys don't. They
• 27:44
  are not jealous of what Ken looks like because that's a girl's toy, even
• 27:47
  though it's of a male figure. But boys want they want to be Heman,
• 27:52
  They want to be Joe. They would like to be here, Yeah,
• 27:56
  yeah, they would like they would they would like to be Arnold schwartz
• 28:00
  Senegger or Sylvester Stallone in those movies, right, they would like to be
• 28:03
  those those have that body. But I think most boys, who at least
• 28:11
  the ones raised in my generation, um, they were smart enough to realize
• 28:21
  what my sons realize, which is, you know, you can you can
• 28:26
  look as good as possible, right in terms of putting in you know,
• 28:33
  putting in some effort and you know, building some muscle and stuff. But
• 28:41
  you could literally inject steroids directly into your muscles and you're not going to look
• 28:48
  like that, right, because that like Sylvester Stallone, you know, like
• 28:53
  the dude who places thor right, those people are in in some ways genetic
• 29:00
  freaks. And you think Sylvester Stallone doesn't feel insecure about the fact that he's
• 29:06
  short. Yeah, yeah, I know, I know. But like that's
• 29:11
  the thing though, like despite all that, as a as a person is
• 29:15
  very admirable and aspirational to God, yes of course, but I'm but I'm
• 29:21
  sure there's a part of him that wishes he was taller. Sure, well,
• 29:23
  it's not going to happen, right, And and it's just like,
• 29:27
  you know, like we can't all be Dolph Lundgren. Um, we can't
• 29:33
  all be God. You know, who who would I Who would I be?
• 29:38
  Rachelle Welch, Raquel Raquel Welch Quel Yeah? Yeah, no? And
• 29:47
  oh my god, you know the way she you know, look, even
• 29:52
  when she was old. I think she made an appearance on like you know,
• 29:56
  the Seinfeld Ones or something. I was like, damn, she still
• 29:59
  looks good. Yeah, she was like in her sixties and hey, get
• 30:02
  down from there. Before I kill you. Sorry. Okay, all right,
• 30:08
  let's get back trying to snoop on the kitchen counter. Okay, I
• 30:14
  think I know what's going on with the mother and her daughter and Barbie.
• 30:18
  What they're trying to do is to make Barbie relevant to to the ute by
• 30:23
  making her a feminist icon. That's what the story was about. Yeah,
• 30:30
  the new fangled version, that's a feminist icon that's gone through her feminist revolution.
• 30:34
  Um and and now you know, says to girls, you too can
• 30:40
  be a victim of everything. No, no, but but at the same
• 30:44
  time, you can take over your entire universe usurp all the men, basically
• 30:49
  emasculate them, and then you shall be queen forever. Well it had all
• 30:56
  live happily ever after. I think that that's where the that's where the subplot
• 31:02
  with the mother and the daughter um is really going. Is the daughter wants,
• 31:07
  or the mother wants her daughter to appreciate Barbie, but she doesn't appreciate
• 31:11
  Barbie because Barbie isn't intersectional enough. So we go through this little passion play
• 31:15
  in which Barbie enacts her own feminist revolution upon Ken. The only problem is
• 31:19
  that Ken starts off as a complete accessory. Uh, you know, expendable
• 31:25
  accessory to Barbie so and a dufaus. Yeah, so we have to we
• 31:30
  have to somehow get it so that Ken constructs a patriarchy that Barbie can then
• 31:36
  revolution be a victim of and revolutionize that's that's the victim of it, and
• 31:41
  then find a hammer smash it. If I had a hammer, I would
• 31:45
  smash patriarchy and then then as a twist, because that's what I think the
• 31:51
  whole Once you understand that, you realize what the whole thing is. It's
• 31:53
  just a marketing ploy for Barbie in a lot of ways to try to take
• 32:00
  the new to the new era of its reality. It's really sad though,
• 32:06
  because if if this movie actually got young girls psychology right in terms of what
• 32:16
  they were targeting, what they were targeting, the message that they were sending,
• 32:22
  that this would have appeal to young girls, then I just want to
• 32:28
  go hang myself. Well, um, apparently a lot of kids found this
• 32:32
  movie excruciatingly boring, which is not surprising because it is excruciatingly boring. Well
• 32:40
  especially for a kid. That gives me hope because you know, like as
• 32:45
  as inasmuch as I thought Barbie was like lame, totally lame sauce in terms
• 32:50
  of of you know, a toy, right until I figured out ways that
• 32:55
  I could, like, uh yeah, make it more interesting by being disgusting
• 33:04
  and perverted. Um yeah. But as I when I was a kid and
• 33:09
  didn't have sexual feelings, um, you know, I they just they just
• 33:15
  lay out at you know, in the back of my closet, underneath all
• 33:19
  of my other stuff, like under underneath all the jars of like caterpillars that
• 33:24
  I caught that didn't make it, and I never bothered to clean out and
• 33:29
  stuff. But um no, this this movie's really sweeping everything. It's almost
• 33:34
  at one billion now. Oh, I know it's it's like it's making a
• 33:38
  lot of money. I just don't I think that it's making money from millennial
• 33:45
  women. M hmm, you're millennial child yes, childless millennial women maybe,
• 33:50
  yeah, probably because it feeds into a lot of their neuroses well, and
• 33:55
  it feeds into it feeds into their their quintessent feminism. But I don't think
• 34:00
  it speaks to like if if kids five to twelve years old aren't getting anything
• 34:09
  out of it, if they find it boring, right, then that that
• 34:13
  makes me happy because they're not buying the message, right, They're just sitting
• 34:17
  there going, why the fuck am I hear? Well, let me let's
• 34:21
  put this in a little bit of a different perspective, because let's consider that
• 34:24
  there are a lot fewer people having children now, and so toys in general
• 34:32
  are down probably compared to what they might have been like in the eighties when
• 34:37
  I was a kid, and that's probably down from whatever it was before.
• 34:40
  So you have fewer people buying toys for their children, but you have more
• 34:46
  people who are essentially like adult children, like you know, that still want
• 34:52
  to hold onto their childhood and but they want it to grow up with them.
• 34:57
  And this is not just something that happened with Barbie. This is like
• 35:00
  across the board, like you can see it everywhere where. People are like,
• 35:04
  oh, I used to love that thing when I was a kid,
• 35:06
  and I'd like to enjoy it now, but I'm a grown ass adult,
• 35:08
  so I want it to grow up with me, which of course alienates uh,
• 35:14
  you know, younger generations from it because now they can't really get into
• 35:19
  it. So well, I think I think you. I think toys toys
• 35:23
  experienced a bubble regardless of population numbers. Right, they experienced a bubble because
• 35:30
  they went through the same kind of um thing that all things go through.
• 35:37
  Right, Where it used to be like you always had toy soldiers, and
• 35:43
  you always had toy baby dolls and things like that. You always had girls
• 35:46
  and boys toys, right, But the vast majority of toys were things like
• 35:52
  tinker toys and building blocks and yeah, you know a lot of toys that
• 35:58
  would be considered really safe by today's standards that were taking out. Yeah,
• 36:04
  but jen but a lot of them were like toys were much more gender neutral
• 36:08
  in the nineteen fifties, right, And and they also were built to last.
• 36:15
  Yeah, So you literally had one set of toys being handed down through
• 36:23
  all of your children, and all of them, whether they were sons or
• 36:27
  daughters, could play with them. Right. So it was it was like
• 36:34
  you you had a situation where and then you had this huge boom in the
• 36:38
  seventies and eighties and nineties of mass marketing of really cheap, crappy toys in
• 36:49
  terms of they just they just don't last. And how many barbies, how
• 36:52
  many headless barbies do you have? And how many how many how many armless
• 36:59
  g I Joe is do you have the waist where the rubber band is at.
• 37:05
  That's where yeah, yeah, yeah, And so I mean you have
• 37:08
  you have a situation where you know, they started getting into these more complicate,
• 37:13
  complicated toys that were more cheaply made. Um that broke. And but
• 37:19
  also we're more subjective fads, right, so you know, etch a sketch
• 37:23
  lasted for you know, years and years. Slinky lasted for years and years.
• 37:30
  Right, nerf went through this too, you know, you had your
• 37:32
  nerve balls and now but it's all guns. Yeah, it is still a
• 37:37
  thing and it's been guns for a long one but they too, Yeah,
• 37:43
  but they want to introduce a new gun all the time, with the new
• 37:47
  projectile that's not compatible with the old gun you have, right, So they
• 37:52
  went through this like massive greedy period. And now now that you have a
• 37:57
  situation where you know, the the old toys that you I mean, it's
• 38:02
  like World of Warcraft, they were like, well, you know, nobody's
• 38:07
  buying it, but we got all these loyal customers, so let's just start
• 38:09
  selling skins and accessories and special weapons and you know sheets and stuff. Right,
• 38:17
  And Barbie was ideal for that because you could you bought a Barbie and
• 38:22
  then she'd want the car and the house, and you know, the accessories
• 38:27
  and the different sets of clothes and all of those things, right, and
• 38:31
  all of that was anchored to you could anchor all of those accessories to one
• 38:36
  dog and make bank. And then all of a sudden, it's like now
• 38:42
  that number one. I think girls are less enamored at Barbie to begin with,
• 38:47
  because I think girls are becoming slightly insecure about their bodies and and you
• 38:58
  know, they're just not interested in Barbie as interested. And then there and
• 39:02
  because they were in the middle of this bubble free money for like cheap plastic
• 39:09
  Barbie cars and you know, um accessories, I think I think they've they've
• 39:17
  just maybe this is just their last ditch effort to save their revenue, right
• 39:23
  because they had good for so long and now they feel like they're in the
• 39:27
  poorhouse. Excuse me, dog get down. Possibly, possibly, but I
• 39:34
  mean I think that it could be. It couldn't have been a marketing ploy,
• 39:37
  but I think it's most it's it's a feminist um lecture first and a
• 39:42
  marketing thing and an ad second. Because there are other properties that when they
• 39:47
  when they adapted them, they increased or created a lot of interest in toy
• 39:52
  sales. The best example would be Toy Story itself. Toy Story created like
• 39:57
  because it was so well made as a film and because it put the love
• 40:01
  of you know of play with children front and center. And this is post
• 40:07
  you know, internet like was around, so it wasn't like that it was
• 40:09
  a massive distraction. Oh and I worked at a toy store, um were
• 40:13
  around that time, and like sales for mister potato Head, like the original
• 40:17
  Mister potato Head. They didn't make one just for Toy Story, right,
• 40:21
  mister potato Head, and for um the slinky dog um and that the that
• 40:27
  telephone thing, like all that just blew up and uh and of course there
• 40:31
  were still a lot of you know, like somewhat larger families around that time.
• 40:36
  And but then like on top of that, because they added a woody
• 40:40
  and a and a buzz Lightyear to the mix, those toys were extremely well
• 40:45
  selling. In fact, the buzz Lightyear I think that was the one that
• 40:49
  has the voice button on it he says the different things. Um, yeah,
• 40:54
  that one, and he had the wings that came out, and shit,
• 40:58
  that toy was was so sought after, like people there were people waiting
• 41:02
  for the doors to open. This wasn't even Christmas time. This wasn't even
• 41:06
  like tickling the Elmo, which was another thing. I was there for,
• 41:08
  huge, huge, huge thing. So like, yeah, I don't.
• 41:12
  And Barbie was still selling well even with all that, And when Toy Story
• 41:15
  two came out, if you guys might might not remember, but Barbie is
• 41:19
  in that movie and a much better presentation of Barbie and guy Barbie. Yeah
• 41:25
  right, that that Barbie blew up like that one was selling like hotcakes.
• 41:30
  So I think that it's not I don't think it's necessary to tell the story
• 41:37
  they wanted to tell simply to sell the toy. I think that if they
• 41:40
  had just shown love for the toy, and I frankly, I don't think
• 41:45
  the Barbie movie has anything to do with the toy. I think the toy
• 41:49
  is the trojan horse. That's how they get the message in. They come
• 41:52
  to the door and they're like, look, we got this story and it's
• 41:54
  there's pink and there's glitter, and it's girly. You're gonna love it.
• 41:58
  And then you go in and it's complete intersectional shit. So like it's that's
• 42:04
  what I think. Uh, and and Greta Gerwig. I looked into her.
• 42:08
  She is very feminist. She made A Little Women, which is like
• 42:14
  absolute cringe, like it was a remake. It was a remake of it.
• 42:17
  I came out like in two thousand and six or something like that.
• 42:21
  Well, A Little Women is kind of like Romeo and Juliet. There's been
• 42:24
  multiple versions, yeah, but she basically put like a you know, a
• 42:29
  feminist spin on it, like there's in Little Women, and I have the
• 42:31
  clip if you guys want to see it. In Little Women, there is
• 42:35
  a speech about Hawhart it is to be a woman at the end, So
• 42:37
  it's the same thing. It's like she's just doing that again. Um uh.
• 42:44
  She is married to a man, so apparently like you know, being
• 42:47
  a it's it's sort of like unt glorious Teina marry a guy. Eventually.
• 42:51
  It's one of those things where it's like, well, I don't want this
• 42:53
  for you, but I want this for me. Um what talking about I
• 42:58
  don't want this for me, I want this for you. Yeah like that.
• 43:01
  But I think I think Andrea dwork And even married a man, didn't
• 43:06
  she who did that? Lord? And and and and she took so much
• 43:12
  heat from it from all of her lesbian separatist friends. They were like,
• 43:15
  how the hell could you get married to a man and and fuck him and
• 43:20
  everything? And she was she was just like, yeah, Alice, did
• 43:25
  us say something. Um, well, I'm just waiting for you guys to
• 43:30
  get through the discussion of the toy stuff. Well, I think back to
• 43:35
  the discussion of the actual movie, So yeah, go ahead. Well,
• 43:38
  no, I think I basically wanted to just explain that some contexts. Yeah,
• 43:44
  give a lot of context, and also just explain that I don't think
• 43:46
  that the um, the the film was meant to sell more toys. I
• 43:53
  think that Mattel was probably a bit blindsided by this too. Yeah. Well,
• 43:58
  I think I think Mattel was probably, yeah, probably convinced by some
• 44:02
  clever marketer, M We're gonna make these toys. We're gonna make these toys
• 44:09
  appeal to the new generation of interction women, make these toys jump off the
• 44:15
  shelves. Yeah. But so I think that's where the kid and the mother
• 44:20
  story comes in, because I think it's the that that is the framing that
• 44:23
  you're taking Barbie who is uncool and applying some intersectional feminism and making her cool.
• 44:31
  For the for the ute. The ute. You know, it's hello,
• 44:37
  fellow ute, it's mutes ut making her cool for the utes. That's
• 44:44
  that's That's why I think the relevance of that story arc is as it were.
• 44:50
  Um, although I will point out that you can safely remove almost every
• 44:54
  reference of the girl and her mother and still have actually a less bring change
• 45:01
  anything. It's effectively the same movie. But nobody, nobody to give the
• 45:06
  speech about how being a woman is super hard. Yeah, let's that's basically
• 45:09
  the only contribution of this woman. Actually, that's the only contribution of women
• 45:14
  period, Like honestly the entire movie. And this is probably where the anti
• 45:21
  woke individuals are thinking this might be a parody. I don't know if this
• 45:23
  woman realized that she has written a movie where women have no agency outside of
• 45:32
  influencing outside of influencing men through victimhood. She wrote a polity. Yeah,
• 45:38
  she's probity. But like when you look at the when you look at the
• 45:43
  structure of the story, right and you go through the steps that are taken.
• 45:47
  The only time I believe and correct me if I'm wrong, Brian,
• 45:52
  the only time that Barbie experiences anything approaching negative is during that rollerblading scene where
• 46:00
  she's dressed up like, uh, it's the it's the rollerblading outfit she had.
• 46:06
  It was an outfit that came out in the eighties. That's why I
• 46:07
  looked like that, like yeah, color is yeah, yeah, and uh,
• 46:12
  that's the only time that she really experiences anything you might consider negative that
• 46:17
  men do, unless there's another point in the film that I missed or didn't
• 46:22
  understand. I mean they there there. I would say, there are others,
• 46:25
  but but that that scene is like compressing all of the ways that men
• 46:30
  oppressed women socially into like one scene. Like it's a multiple events that sort
• 46:36
  of pay Yeah, and and you know, oddly enough, no man actually
• 46:42
  like uh grabbed her put her down on the ground and like started humping her
• 46:47
  or anything. No, well, hey it's PG. Thirteen. I mean
• 46:52
  say, for the uncut director's cut of the film, I guess, oh
• 46:57
  right, okay, So that's that was the one one thing. And she
• 47:00
  was basically just getting attention from men, which was making her uncomfortable. Ken
• 47:04
  of course, who who's basically starved from attention is appreciating all the attention he's
• 47:08
  getting. Um, But there's there's interesting things that happen because in writing,
• 47:15
  telling or somebody saying something is less of a of a of a strong argument
• 47:23
  than showing it through people's actions. Yes, and this movie is rife with
• 47:30
  stop people just flat out saying things and showing the exact opposite or something that
• 47:35
  that contradicts it. So for example, um, Ken, Ken, what
• 47:44
  what inspires him to go find out about patriarchy? Um? When he gets
• 47:49
  there, and it's basically those opening scenes. So there's a couple of things
• 47:52
  that happened. One he gets there and people are looking at him. They're
• 47:57
  looking at both of them. And the main reason why you can assume that
• 48:00
  they're looking at both of them is not because of how like that they're really
• 48:04
  attractive. It's because they're wearing an outlandish outfit from the eighties because that's what
• 48:08
  the doll had for both of them. So they're getting attention. Look at
• 48:13
  these people like they're stay. Yeah it was outlandish even in the eighties.
• 48:17
  Yeah, it was because girls like colors. So anyway, they were both
• 48:22
  having the same experience of getting attention. But Barbie was made self conscious by
• 48:27
  it and Ken was a really appreciative of it. And then later yeah,
• 48:31
  well then but then later he started noticing that you know, men were uh
• 48:37
  you know, they were doing construction, and in Barbie Land, the women
• 48:40
  have all the jobs, even the ones that they never made a doll for,
• 48:43
  like garbage, you know, collector and construction and yeah, yeah,
• 48:49
  like those that didn't exist. Again, like I said yesterday, I wonder
• 48:52
  which how they decide which Barbie gets to party all party all night and which
• 48:58
  Barbie has to wake up at four am and clean the shit of the other
• 49:00
  Barbies. But anyway, continue I don't I don't really know why they put
• 49:05
  that in there, because you can already see that there is no actual like
• 49:09
  barb barbage. That's yeah, so they're just carrying off like empty canisters.
• 49:14
  It's almost like it. I think it's kind of like a slap in the
• 49:17
  face of people who actually have to do that job, because it's trying to
• 49:21
  make it. It's sort of making light of how you know, oh,
• 49:22
  this is like because the Barbies they love picking up the trash. Barbies are
• 49:27
  so happy, you know, they're right like like so, I mean,
• 49:30
  I'm not saying men who are sanitation workers here, especially Barby Land is representing
• 49:37
  like the rad fam view of the world. Yeah, but they're going to
• 49:39
  somehow construct a world where women are the ones who are doing the sanitation,
• 49:45
  the ones who are doing core. Yeah. So even though now they don't
• 49:51
  want to do it. Yeah yeah yeah, can you continue? Okay?
• 49:54
  So I think where where it gets basically like crosses a line is he is
• 50:00
  um just kind of like curious about this world, like he doesn't quite get
• 50:05
  it. And then he sees men doing man stuff and they have like the
• 50:08
  you know that two thousand and one song playing, and he sees guys in
• 50:13
  the gym and they're like high fiving each other and they're like growing it up,
• 50:17
  and it's all like, I don't, like, I don't think there's
• 50:20
  anything wrong with it. Like I see and I'm like, yeah, that's
• 50:22
  yeah, that's what men do. Yeah, that's cut cool. Didn't exist,
• 50:25
  but I think that I think that Greta Gerwig was like, oh,
• 50:30
  men, they're so because that's what makes him want of the patriarchy. And
• 50:34
  then if men exist, yeah as as men, yes, right, they
• 50:39
  become the play sports they want. Yeah yeah, if they if they play
• 50:45
  sports, if they're friends with other men, if they like fitness, if
• 50:50
  they um, you know, want they if they basically want to do jobs
• 50:54
  like working in businesses or whatever, um and construction like that. That's all
• 51:00
  bad for men to do. And he sees that and it's nothing like what
• 51:01
  he knew from Barbie Land, because in Barbie Land, Ken's are homeless.
• 51:06
  They don't have a job, they don't do anything. They beach. That's
• 51:07
  their whole existence is that they beach. They are accessories, literally accessories.
• 51:13
  Yea. And yeah. Also I want to point out that one of the
• 51:16
  emotional moments in the film in the beginning is Ken asks Barbie if he can
• 51:22
  just, you know, stay in our house. Yeah, I guess in
• 51:24
  a platonic manner since they don't have generals, But can I just stay in
• 51:29
  you know? And she rejects him, and she says, no, every
• 51:31
  night is girls' night. Yeah, but we're but we're supposed to not.
• 51:37
  We're not supposed to. I don't think we're supposed to have sympathy for him,
• 51:42
  because I think that what they do is they're trying to make Ken out
• 51:45
  to be a kind of like entitled in cell guy. That's what they ultimately
• 51:50
  are trying to suggest, which is really interesting because so the moment that Ken
• 51:53
  decides he wants to create a patriarchy is when he realizes that men exist and
• 52:00
  actually have some value in that roll and roll, like they actually work,
• 52:05
  they exercise, they have friendships whatever. I'm pretty sure that he does.
• 52:08
  Well. I guess they don't exercise. The Kens are all kind of like
• 52:13
  they they get along, but there is like, uh, you know,
• 52:16
  an underlying like envy of each other, like they like they for whatever reason,
• 52:22
  that's just they don't really explain it. But the Kens are not like
• 52:25
  super close like the dudes in the real world. And I think the final
• 52:30
  cherry on top of all that is a woman approaches him and asks him for
• 52:35
  the time so and and of course he doesn't know, but he was so
• 52:39
  blown away by the fact that she spoke to him without any like you know,
• 52:45
  without um that he had any information or yeah, opinion at all.
• 52:50
  Yeah, exactly, And he was blown away by that. But again,
• 52:53
  I don't think it's sympathetic. I think that it's um. I don't think
• 52:57
  I think that this this movie is oh whoa, that it doesn't know how
• 53:00
  dumb it is. I mean that's what I think. But yeah, all
• 53:04
  right, so, so and then a moment, the moment that he discovers
• 53:07
  men can be useful, right, and men can have cooperative relationships with each
• 53:14
  other, and men can feel a sense of purpose. They they will instantly
• 53:24
  try to take over the world and turn it into a patriarchy that oppresses women.
• 53:30
  So we have to keep the Kens brainwashed into thinking that they're useless and
• 53:37
  bone headed and not good for anything and treat them like shit. Actually,
• 53:44
  I just want to make a point of clarification. Yes, and brainwashed is
• 53:46
  a good way to put it, but I just want to make a point
• 53:50
  of clarification. Um, the the when he wanted to when he was finding
• 53:55
  out about patriarchy was prior to being asked the time. Time. The ass
• 54:00
  the time was the moment I think he was like really, he really thought,
• 54:05
  Wow, this is the best. Can you imagine how utterly well it
• 54:08
  was. It's like being asked the time is like hey, pinnacle, hey
• 54:14
  fellow adult, Yeah you might know something that I don't, and could you
• 54:22
  tell me? Yes, that's it, because I respect you. Yes,
• 54:27
  that's it. That's just the moment. Was the height of Ken's life is
• 54:31
  to be asked the time and then you're you're you watch this and you realize
• 54:36
  that the woke think that that's not a that that that is not saying something
• 54:39
  sympathetic about Ken, that's making Ken entitled that he he's so ignored and dismissed
• 54:45
  that he just wants the time. Either that or they think that this is
• 54:49
  a reflection of what women were like in the fifties. Yeah, which is
• 54:52
  absolutely delisional crap. Yeah, I was gonna say. I think that there's
• 54:57
  a very sinister in version going on. So if you if you acknowledge or
• 55:01
  see that what they're trying to say is that Barbie Land is the inverse of
• 55:06
  patriarchy in the real world. So the women run everything, the women are
• 55:10
  empowered, they have jobs, they have a purpose in their life in barbie
• 55:15
  Land, right, And the men they are they they don't have jobs,
• 55:19
  they don't have homes unless a woman decides to give them one. They don't
• 55:22
  even get the time of day, right and so um so, So what
• 55:29
  Ken is basically a what his experience in barbie Land is what Gretta Gerwick is
• 55:36
  trying to say is a woman's experience in the real world. So when Ken
• 55:39
  says, oh my gosh, she gave me the time of day, I
• 55:42
  can't believe it, and he's like, so you're not, you're you.
• 55:45
  You want to sympathize because it does seem really sad, But what it is
• 55:50
  is a reflection of how absolutely, let's say, resentful this writer is of
• 56:00
  the real world, Like like they really think that the Ken's experience in Barbie
• 56:05
  Land is a woman's experience in reality, at least in the fifties, which
• 56:08
  is maybe perhaps, but I think that she would probably argue that that is
• 56:15
  what women experience today because again, remember the feminist screed. I can bring
• 56:19
  up the speech she basically like like the America Ferrera, whatever the hell her
• 56:23
  name is. She lays out this whole thing about how hard it is to
• 56:27
  be a woman because you have to be this, but not too much of
• 56:30
  this. You have to be that you have and it's all ship that you
• 56:31
  could apply to men like easily, but she doesn't because men are invisible,
• 56:35
  so fuck them, so she does. I'm telling you that's what it is,
• 56:38
  like, No, no, I'm not, I'm not disagreeing with you.
• 56:43
  Experience is completely empty. It's it's okay but absent. But but okay.
• 56:50
  I have found the single uh fatal flaw in the analogy whether it's an
• 56:58
  intended analogy or whether it is accidental something different. Um uh that that this
• 57:06
  is how women experienced life in the nineteen fifties. Um there there were There
• 57:12
  were not homeless women in the nineteen fifty not really, not really. Um
• 57:19
  uh. Women got married to men and then the men put roofs over their
• 57:25
  heads. Yeah. Yes. And if if a man didn't put a roof
• 57:32
  over a woman's head, she could count on her father. Yeah yeah,
• 57:39
  to to keep a roof over her head. I mean that's kind of still
• 57:44
  true today. If a woman and a man get a divorce, the woman
• 57:46
  can move back in with their mother for a while. The man is fucked.
• 57:50
  Yeah, and he loses value for for not having like you know,
• 57:54
  for if he has to move in with his parents, his sexual recently plummets.
• 58:00
  Recently, I just I saw a video of a man who was evicted
• 58:04
  from his house because his wife made a false claim of domestic violence, which
• 58:08
  is which is something that women routinely do in domestic violence or sorry, in
• 58:15
  divorce proceedings. And they don't even tell the men that they're getting divorced.
• 58:20
  They just the first time a man hears about it is when he gets a
• 58:24
  knock at the door by a cop and gets thrown out of his house.
• 58:28
  And that is a reality for men in divorce courts, especially in areas where
• 58:32
  they have this. If a woman claims domestic violence, she can get everybody
• 58:37
  else kicked out of the house and claim it as her own. It doesn't
• 58:42
  even matter if she's a homeless woman sleeping on your couch. Do not do
• 58:45
  this, guys, do not allow women to sleep in you in your home,
• 58:52
  because she can claim domestic violence and get you kicked out and you have
• 58:57
  to pay for it. You have to pay for her to stay there,
• 59:00
  according to law. That's what it's like in my province, in several states.
• 59:04
  I don't know which ones, but so look that up and make sure.
• 59:07
  But anyway, so this is this is a power that women have,
• 59:10
  and they've always had this power of expecting shelter. The primary people thrown out
• 59:20
  during the Great Depression when they couldn't be fed were men and boys. They
• 59:23
  would throw thirteen year old boys out because they would preferably feed their daughters.
• 59:29
  And it's always, always, I always have to point out it's quite convenient
• 59:32
  that feminism starts looking at patriarchy. The first decade you can say men weren't
• 59:38
  suffering unbelievably, either through a lack of work or war and hunger and lack
• 59:47
  of purpose and the Great Depression. You know that like the first, very
• 59:52
  first decade of the twentieth century, that you could say that men actually weren't
• 59:57
  getting a shit deal. Femini zero in on it as evidence of patriarchy.
• 1:00:02
  It's just astounding. Yeah, you know, but anyway, aside from that,
• 1:00:07
  it wasn't the case in the fifties, like in the fifties. If
• 1:00:10
  ken was a stay at home mom in the fifties, she could expect he
• 1:00:15
  could expect respect. Yeah, and they and you look at those women,
• 1:00:21
  they don't look like women who are down trodden. They look like women who
• 1:00:24
  who who had dignity and respect. They respect for their partners, the men
• 1:00:30
  in their lives, but they also expected respect. And they looked like people
• 1:00:34
  who expected respect. And I remember something from Dragnet. You remember Dragnet just
• 1:00:42
  the facts Now, there was a scene in Dragnet where the cops were approaching
• 1:00:46
  a married woman and they were saying, we'd like to talk, and she's
• 1:00:51
  just cut them off and said, you talked to my husband and then walked
• 1:00:53
  on to the cops, to the cops, and they had nothing to say
• 1:00:58
  to that. They just had to let her go. And she's like,
• 1:01:00
  yeah, no, this has beneath my my interest. Yea, now this
• 1:01:05
  is beneath my notice you cops, you talk to my husband. Um.
• 1:01:08
  And and they had to just they just accepted that. They just accepted that
• 1:01:14
  that was the kind And and I've watched manners videos from like the our movies
• 1:01:20
  or films from like the Navy. Yes, in the in the Navy,
• 1:01:25
  a woman ranks higher than than a naval officer. So the officer and the
• 1:01:35
  man who's dating the woman who's below him in the rank, they both have
• 1:01:37
  to defer to her. Okay, guys, there was an tremendous amount of
• 1:01:44
  respect towards women and recognition of their contributions. You look at parenting magazines from
• 1:01:50
  the fifties. Women were expected to understand politics so they could tell they could
• 1:01:54
  tell when their children should be exposed to it, how it should be approached,
• 1:02:00
  be explained. You know, there was there was a tremendous amount of
• 1:02:04
  respect. Well, wo's role You look at you look at um Japan,
• 1:02:08
  which was you know, not Japan now but Japan, like you know,
• 1:02:14
  thirty forty years fifty years ago, right, Um, you had you had
• 1:02:19
  the the middle aged men dying of heart attacks at their desks, you know,
• 1:02:24
  work in sixteen hours a day. You had the their wives controlling the
• 1:02:29
  purse strings and U and basically, you know, he'd he'd just give his
• 1:02:35
  paycheck straight to her. She'd give him an allowance to buy himself lunch and
• 1:02:42
  and then h but she was also expected to maybe get a post secondary education,
• 1:02:49
  not necessarily so that she could have a job and earn money, but
• 1:02:53
  so that she could properly educate the children. Right. And it's like,
• 1:03:01
  well, that actually sounds a lot like how things were going under normal circum
• 1:03:12
  normal families, right, because I mean, of course you had certain families
• 1:03:16
  where the man controlled all the money and you know, he didn't give his
• 1:03:22
  wife the freedom to like just spend whatever she wanted and all of that,
• 1:03:25
  right, And usually that was a situation where the man had been previously burned
• 1:03:31
  by a wife who left him cleaned out the bank accounts and what kind of
• 1:03:36
  sick bitch takes the ice cube trades? Right? And or and I knew
• 1:03:43
  someone that this happened to and he basically he gave his wife an allowance and
• 1:03:49
  it was a generous one, but she did not have access to any of
• 1:03:53
  the bank accounts, and he was like, he was very highly responsible with
• 1:03:58
  the money. But his previous his wife, you know, she had credit
• 1:04:01
  cards, she had access to the bank accounts, she had access to all
• 1:04:05
  the finances. She just cleaned them out and then took everything in the house
• 1:04:12
  and moved out and disappeared. Right, So, so there's there's those kinds
• 1:04:19
  of men, and then there are abusive men, right who who basically are
• 1:04:26
  just like, no, you can't have any control, I need to control
• 1:04:29
  everything. Abuse of controlling men, those those kinds of men exist, right.
• 1:04:34
  But the way every other family I know or grew up around the way
• 1:04:41
  they did things was the woman or both of them together handled all of the
• 1:04:48
  money. The woman basically, she she may have had a credit card where
• 1:04:55
  her husband she was an authorized signatory on the credit card held by her husband,
• 1:05:01
  like my mom was right, but free to spend whatever money she felt
• 1:05:09
  necessary to run the household right, contributed financially in whatever ways she could,
• 1:05:15
  often under the table, and basically they made major financial decisions together, and
• 1:05:25
  she had an equal, say, and she had more day to day control
• 1:05:30
  of where the money went and why, right, And and it's like basically,
• 1:05:35
  my dad came home from work every other Friday, handed her his pay,
• 1:05:42
  and then she'd give him his you know, she'd give him two hundred
• 1:05:48
  dollars or not two hundred dollars, the equivalent of two hundred dollars worth of
• 1:05:55
  pocket money, right to get him through the next two weeks of buying lunches
• 1:06:00
  and you know, or whatever he might need. And you know, because
• 1:06:06
  he liked he liked cash a lot. He didn't like using the credit card,
• 1:06:13
  he didn't like writing checks, he didn't like doing anything on paper.
• 1:06:18
  He was never in writing, always in cash for him. But and he
• 1:06:24
  did have his own separate bank account in a completely different bank. And I
• 1:06:29
  know this because he stopped to make a deposit one time when I was in
• 1:06:33
  the car, and he was just sucking away a little bit here, a
• 1:06:41
  little bit there, just in case. M Well, the overall point is
• 1:06:46
  that this is not even a reflection of the relation or the role that women
• 1:06:50
  played in the fifties, and it certainly isn't a reflection of the role of
• 1:06:54
  women played well prior to that when they were responsible for basically all of the
• 1:06:59
  utilities that kept people alive. So this is and and my mom had a
• 1:07:03
  coffee kid full of cash. Yeah, And this idea that Ken was like
• 1:07:12
  homeless and had absolutely no claim on Barbie is not a page. That's not
• 1:07:17
  a reflection of party. In every cultural value at all, where men are,
• 1:07:25
  men are prioritized, even for inheritance or for jobs, men also have
• 1:07:30
  an obligation to provide financially for their female relatives, their wives, their children's,
• 1:07:34
  their mother, their sister. They have that obligation in every single society.
• 1:07:40
  It's either legal or it's socially enforced. So this is bullshit. There
• 1:07:45
  would be if if this was a true reversal of patriarchy, Ken would one
• 1:07:53
  have access to Barbie's house. Oh yeah, she would be expected to work
• 1:07:59
  to maintain Ken in a lifestyle that he is accustomed to. And if it
• 1:08:03
  was, and if it was a reflection of our current system, of our
• 1:08:10
  current society, Ken would be able to throw Barbie out on her ear whenever
• 1:08:15
  he wanted. He wouldn't have to in state patriarchy, he'd simply have to
• 1:08:19
  get a restraining order and a false accusation of domestic violence, and that is
• 1:08:26
  done. That is done to gain advantage in a divorce by women commonly,
• 1:08:30
  like I mean, it's not every woman does it, but it's common enough
• 1:08:34
  that a divorce lawyer will will warn men that this is a tactic. Yep,
• 1:08:42
  that are simply part of the gamesman. It's part of the gamesmanship of
• 1:08:46
  divorce, all right. So that that's the reality that Ken lives in or
• 1:08:50
  would would be, and it's not reflected in that. So this is what
• 1:08:54
  this woman thinks patriarchy is, or a reverse patriarchy is, which is absolutely
• 1:09:00
  one hundred percent false. And I'm afraid i have suffered a fatal technical difficulty.
• 1:09:04
  So I'm going to have to go offline for a bit. Oh okay,
• 1:09:08
  well I got some super chows to read. Yes, there I go.
• 1:09:13
  Do you have any thank you? Yeah? I have one thank you.
• 1:09:15
  I just want to remind you guys, I might need to do some
• 1:09:18
  arm twisting under a bit of duress here. I want to thank mister stupid.
• 1:09:25
  I'll serve an unfortunately. Thank you for thirty five dollars. Thank you,
• 1:09:29
  mister stupid. Thank you. Yeah, And that's it for that's it
• 1:09:32
  for the first hour. So guys, once again, we really need you
• 1:09:38
  to help us out to make sure we can continue to keep this this show
• 1:09:42
  running. We we have been doing this for ten years. I believe we
• 1:09:47
  are one of the few voices that says that, you know, we've blamed
• 1:09:50
  men for how many decades and generations now, and it's it's starting to not
• 1:09:57
  work, I think, so maybe we should try having women take some responsibility
• 1:10:01
  for the society that we have right now and for their influence on it.
• 1:10:06
  And we're sort of a voice in the wilderness, it seems considering this juggernaut
• 1:10:11
  is honing in on a billion dollars and it's stem to Stern. It's not
• 1:10:17
  just stem to stern nonsense about reality. It is stem to stern delusion about
• 1:10:26
  nonsense about reality. And we'll get into that a bit. So if we
• 1:10:31
  stop being able to say this content, if you wake up tomorrow and Honey
• 1:10:36
  Badger Radio is gone, Barbie, is it for the conversation about the relationship
• 1:10:43
  between the sexes? I mean, there'll be other men's issues content channels,
• 1:10:47
  but we are the one that has most consistently produced a podcast almost every day
• 1:10:54
  for ten years. So that's going to be a big, big silencing.
• 1:11:00
  Please don't let us, don't let Barbie be the only voice about men and
• 1:11:03
  women and what they have to say. Don't let that. Don't let the
• 1:11:08
  radical feminist because this really is a radical feminist screed. A billion dollars people,
• 1:11:15
  Yeah, we want a billion dollars. Could you imagine what we could
• 1:11:18
  do with a billion dollars Jesus correct, Yeah, we could do a movie
• 1:11:24
  that's actually positive about men and positive about the relationship between men and women,
• 1:11:29
  and honest about society and society's values. Okay, because that's what the big
• 1:11:34
  thing that Barbie movie isn't It isn't honest. It is not honest at all
• 1:11:40
  unless you're a complete nutcase and anyway, So don't let Barbie be the only
• 1:11:46
  voice about men and women and their relationship. Make sure that we can continue
• 1:11:53
  to talk about this stuff in in an honest way, honest about what really
• 1:11:57
  motivates men. Because the funny thing is that Barbie appeals to it. In
• 1:12:01
  the end, they the Barbies, get their Barbie Land back by appealing to
• 1:12:10
  the fact that kens care about Barbies. If you can freak and believe it,
• 1:12:14
  it is actually one of the most cynical and unpleasant things I've ever seen.
• 1:12:19
  Um, it just makes me feel really bad for the Kens to be
• 1:12:25
  honest anyway, So if you, if you want to make sure we continue
• 1:12:29
  to be able to have this voice, and it's really critically important to me
• 1:12:31
  because being able to do this work is not fun. It can be a
• 1:12:35
  really depressing thing to constantly see how men are treated by society and how men
• 1:12:42
  are being seen as expendable. I say, as Jonathan goes under the the
• 1:12:45
  the the table, to make it so that I can continue to say this
• 1:12:51
  stuff. Fixed it. No, no, he fixed it. He fixed
• 1:12:57
  it without me even having to stop. That's ah, there you go.
• 1:13:01
  That's that's what. That's what. And you know you know who else has
• 1:13:05
  been really contributing to this show. It'd be Jojo Jo. Yeah, look
• 1:13:12
  at it. Do it for Jojo. He's he's look at his ears,
• 1:13:17
  Look at his ears that I just touched his treat and he was like,
• 1:13:21
  bink, look at that. Oh yeah, no, you know what.
• 1:13:27
  Both my dogs would not still be lying down, they'd be like all over
• 1:13:30
  me. If I even can't went anywhere near the treats, or if I
• 1:13:34
  like if so, someone so much as crackles a potato chip bag. There's
• 1:13:41
  just like both of them dancing around my legs as I'm trying to walk because
• 1:13:46
  they're trying to they're trying to trip me up, so I brain myself on
• 1:13:50
  the table and the whole bag of treats just ends up all over the floor.
• 1:13:56
  Yeah, that's jos That's what they're trying to do. Joe. Joe
• 1:14:00
  is very well behaved. Yeah, what a sweetheart. Look at him.
• 1:14:04
  He's got those he's got those uh, those German shepherd dimples yeah, and
• 1:14:11
  German shepherd eyes. He just didn't have the German shepherd years. No,
• 1:14:15
  and he's smaller like like us. Skippy's becoming a really big big dog.
• 1:14:21
  Well, not all German shepherds are are as big as as him. Um,
• 1:14:28
  even a German shepherd. No, he's not a German shepherd even even
• 1:14:31
  like a male German shepherd usually is like eighty pounds on the low end,
• 1:14:36
  I think, or maybe maybe the low end is seventy something like seventy five,
• 1:14:42
  but it's they're pretty big like he's. He's he's actually big for a
• 1:14:46
  German shepherd too. He's like I think twenty twenty seven inches at the withers.
• 1:14:51
  Um, and uh, he was eighty pounds like six months ago,
• 1:14:56
  but I wouldn't be surprised if he's gained another ten pounds. Um, he's
• 1:15:00
  a he's he's a pretty big dog. I don't even see him as being
• 1:15:06
  a big dog. It's really strange. Yeah. Well my two dogs,
• 1:15:11
  all to put together, are about seventy pounds. Yeah. Yeah. Boat's
• 1:15:17
  been a lean mean fourteen and a half of fifteen pounds since we got him.
• 1:15:24
  Okay. And and when I say lean, I mean lean. Um,
• 1:15:29
  he's wasp wasted and and uh super muscular, and that Kevin is getting
• 1:15:35
  a little flabby. I'm not gonna feed you any food, okay, So
• 1:15:43
  I'm just gonna do another another appeal. Um. I really, when I
• 1:15:47
  think about it, that you guys make it possible to continue to do that
• 1:15:50
  work. This work, that's it's it's really amazing and I'm very grateful for
• 1:15:56
  it. And I appreciate that every month you've come together to make sure that
• 1:16:00
  this happens. And I know I'm a bit of a winder. I'm always
• 1:16:02
  like God, I don't know, will this be the month, But so
• 1:16:06
  far you've come through every month, So please do go to feed the Badger
• 1:16:11
  dot com slash support even five dollars ten dollars. Don't think that five dollars
• 1:16:15
  is meaningless. It is a huge thing. And please don't let the feminist
• 1:16:20
  narrative be the only thing that is how we look at the relationship between men
• 1:16:27
  and women, because, to be quite honest, I am depressed as hell
• 1:16:30
  that this movie has gotten so much money and there's no sign of shot stopping.
• 1:16:36
  So this is really resonating, this is hitting, this is hitting something
• 1:16:42
  in women, and that's really actually very depressing. And now, more than
• 1:16:50
  ever, I need to know that we there is another voice out there and
• 1:16:56
  that there is some kind of support for it, because, as I know,
• 1:17:01
  we're small, but we have managed to stay around for ten years.
• 1:17:06
  And that's not nothing, is it. I mean, despite this overwhelming voice
• 1:17:14
  that men are to blame, that society is hateful towards women, that doesn't
• 1:17:20
  care about women, we have managed to eke out a little niche in the
• 1:17:26
  ecosystem. You know, We've managed to keep our keep this message alive.
• 1:17:30
  We've kept the we kept the torch burning signal flare lit, and I would
• 1:17:39
  hate for it to go out. I would definitely be it for me.
• 1:17:43
  So once again, feed the Badger dot com slash support and make sure that
• 1:17:46
  we are able to keep burning in the darkness, so to speak, and
• 1:17:51
  keep the reality alive. I mean honestly, like when people say this,
• 1:17:58
  like I had a feminist recently say, oh, well, don't you think
• 1:18:00
  what you say is insulting to men? Don't you think it harms men and
• 1:18:04
  women? And I'm like, well, first of all, I don't recognize
• 1:18:08
  what you consider to be harmed. But second of all, my first fealty,
• 1:18:14
  loyalty, whatever you want to call it, is to the truth as
• 1:18:18
  to what actually is happening. And maybe I don't know it completely, but
• 1:18:25
  I sure as hell know that I have very carefully considered every position that I
• 1:18:30
  have. I've looked at the evidence for and against, and this is the
• 1:18:34
  position I've come through. So it isn't just that I care about men.
• 1:18:39
  I do care about men. I think it's why allowed me to see the
• 1:18:42
  evidence that was counter to feminism or feminism's belief blaming men and considering them to
• 1:18:49
  be responsible for not just patriarchy but criminality in general. But ultimately, I
• 1:18:58
  assert these things because I believe that they are true, and I believe that
• 1:19:02
  they are true because I have done decades of research into them, into the
• 1:19:09
  situation for men versus the situation for women now and historically, and after those
• 1:19:15
  decades of research, no feminism is wrong, period will stop. Everywhere that
• 1:19:21
  men had superior so called superior rights, they had equivalent obligations to women.
• 1:19:30
  So everywhere where men are given more freedom, they're also given more expectations or
• 1:19:35
  just expectations in many instances. So there's no situation where men are getting away
• 1:19:42
  with something that's a lie, and it's a lie that's specifically designed to extract
• 1:19:48
  more things out of people. Yeah, and it's even more pernicious than that.
• 1:19:53
  But I won't get into it because it's a long story. But we
• 1:19:58
  can't let this win, even though it looks like a juggernaut right now.
• 1:20:03
  We have, at the very least, once this fire burns through our civilization,
• 1:20:09
  we have to have some wisdom to give to the next generation about why
• 1:20:15
  it happened. Okay, so feed to Badger dot com slash support make sure
• 1:20:19
  we can keep going, because well, it's important to me, I think
• 1:20:25
  it should be important to you. I think it should be important to everyone
• 1:20:28
  that the truth went out. All right, let's let's keep going. I've
• 1:20:31
  got some super chow, so I should read those because they're building up.
• 1:20:35
  So yesterday after, like late at night, I got a super chow thank
• 1:20:42
  you from that anonymous, so thank you for that. It's gonna leave badger
• 1:20:48
  chan up here for now while I'm reading these. Um and he says,
• 1:20:54
  Mack Moore stuff for five dollars. Well, I don't. I don't have
• 1:20:58
  any plans on slowing down. Then I got another one from playing Dane for
• 1:21:03
  five dollars and he gives, and he says, far dollars. Shaned O'Connor
• 1:21:10
  was one of celebrity crush I think one of my celebrity crushes. I think
• 1:21:14
  you meant to say her and Dolores or Oriordan from the Cranberries. Oh yeah,
• 1:21:18
  she was cute. I've always liked a short hair aesthetic, but a
• 1:21:21
  lot of women can't pull off the look. You do need to have the
• 1:21:25
  right facial structure or skull shape and eyebrows like Dolorus Shand and Karen. Ah.
• 1:21:30
  That was a veiled compliment to Karen right there, I mean, not
• 1:21:32
  really veiled. I think it's kind of obvious. Well, I always knew
• 1:21:38
  I looked good with a pixie cut. I just wasn't brave enough to go
• 1:21:42
  full spear bawl. Yeah, what about Annie Lennox from the Eurythmics. Well
• 1:21:48
  that's what I was going for. Yeah, when I when I bleached my
• 1:21:54
  hair, I had I had a short haircut, and then I bleached my
• 1:21:58
  hair, so I was like basically platinum blonde. And then my dad says,
• 1:22:05
  oh, hi, Seka, how you doing. And I'm like,
• 1:22:09
  SECA was oh yeah, I remember, yeah, yeah, all big boots
• 1:22:16
  though, so I guess that's that I had. That's right, Yeah,
• 1:22:21
  I remember sca um okay, and then so thank you Plain Dane. And
• 1:22:27
  then we got another one from another anonymous person and they say, for five
• 1:22:32
  dollars, this movie is not anti wo woke culture warriors don't joke on or
• 1:22:36
  parody themselves, but this is all probably done in one seriously, Yeah,
• 1:22:41
  I agree with that. You know. Um, I saw someone who was
• 1:22:44
  a Men's Right Sky say that, Um, you know, oh, this
• 1:22:48
  is totally like it's it's stronger. It's a stronger anti feminist pillm film than
• 1:22:55
  The Red Pill. And I was like, we watched a different movie and
• 1:22:58
  he was like, oh, no, you you can't tell that it's supposed
• 1:23:00
  to be parody. Feminists don't understand parody. In order to do parody,
• 1:23:03
  you have to be able to make fun of yourself, and they can't do
• 1:23:05
  that, and there's there's no real evidence for it anyway. Yeah, no,
• 1:23:11
  no, no. But but that doesn't necessarily mean it's not an anti
• 1:23:15
  feminist red pill movieum, because it really does expose what feminism is all about.
• 1:23:27
  Yes, if if the audience can see that, because it is.
• 1:23:31
  The thing is is that we are in a space and our audience is in
• 1:23:35
  a space where we can see the you know, like the rhetoric we can
• 1:23:41
  see, like the blatant anti men, anti western, anti Christian, anti
• 1:23:46
  capitalist, anti everything all through the film, but like the normy, low
• 1:23:53
  information single mom and her eight year old daughter that goes to see this movie,
• 1:23:57
  they can't see it. All they see is a bunch of like criticisms
• 1:24:01
  and uh and things that like they've seen a bunch of times all over the
• 1:24:06
  media, all over their films, all over the music, all over everything.
• 1:24:10
  And so it's just telling them. It's a mirror telling them back to
• 1:24:14
  themselves what they want to hear, and they're gonna walk out of there and
• 1:24:16
  go, oh yeah that was good, that that really spoke to me.
• 1:24:19
  And that's all it is with with Yeah, women in particular. Okay,
• 1:24:23
  you you go on and a victimhood female screed and and women will find a
• 1:24:30
  way to relate. There's like this social thing that happens. Oh yeah,
• 1:24:34
  I've been I've been called a lot of times. You've seen these TikTok videos
• 1:24:39
  of women that are straight, straight up hand beasts and they're talking like,
• 1:24:43
  oh men, they just want to rape me, and they're always staring at
• 1:24:46
  me and they're always whistling at me and trying to get my number, you
• 1:24:49
  know. I mean that's the delusion, but it's it's the reality. I
• 1:24:55
  remember you remember the conversation between Jen mc was it Jen mcwright and Rebecca Watson
• 1:25:05
  about cat calling? Yea, And it was like this uh, this little
• 1:25:11
  um PJ Myers was presiding over the live stream and Rebecca Watson says, uh,
• 1:25:20
  I can't even leave the house without getting cat called. It's just like
• 1:25:25
  really horrible. And Jen mcright uh says uh says, oh god, you
• 1:25:30
  know me too. I mean me, I can't even go out and pick
• 1:25:35
  up the paper off the front porch without being cat call, right, And
• 1:25:42
  it's like they're entire and I'm thinking to myself, Okay, I'm translating in
• 1:25:45
  my brain, I'm so hot. Men can't help but cat call me.
• 1:25:50
  Oh I know, but I'm hotter than you, right, because I don't
• 1:25:55
  just get cat called when I walk down the street. I get cat called
• 1:25:59
  the moment I stick my head out the door. Yeah, yes, an
• 1:26:05
  l. Or alternatively, the Scottish guys complaining about how awful you know,
• 1:26:14
  how awful the situation is that I had to go up, I had to
• 1:26:16
  go I got to go to school uphill both ways and driving snow. Oh
• 1:26:23
  yeah, yeah, yeah, no, I had to walk ten miles to
• 1:26:26
  school without shoes and the snow waist deep. But to get back to the
• 1:26:31
  movie both ways, Oh all right, let's get back to the Yeah,
• 1:26:39
  let me read those. Um so I got one from great indoors And he
• 1:26:44
  says, for five dollars, I'm sure that for most non fascist birth of
• 1:26:47
  a Nation would be viewed as a brilliant, massively crafted on the nose parody.
• 1:26:54
  Yeah, I bet, I'm sure there are I'm sure, yeah,
• 1:26:58
  there's actual there's actually parallels between Barbie Land and Birth of the Nation. Yes,
• 1:27:02
  they had they there was a coup in Birth of the Nation by the
• 1:27:06
  sexually threatening undesirables which we won't specifically name, but there you go. Congratulations,
• 1:27:14
  Greta. It's Greta right. Then the name of the producer and writer,
• 1:27:17
  Girwata. Once again, once again, your feminist work could easily be
• 1:27:25
  masquerading is either racist or profoundly anti semitic. There you go. If if
• 1:27:31
  you replaced men with with other groups, some letters around, yeah, move
• 1:27:36
  some letters around? Yeah, Okay. Last Supercow is from Noba fan.
• 1:27:42
  Thank you Noba fan. And they give us ten dollars and says I feel
• 1:27:47
  the Barbie movie is ultimately woke because I hear every feminist talking talking point draped
• 1:27:54
  in silly comedy to distract us from their attitude. Not to mention, I
• 1:27:58
  felt it was ultimately woke when the man and told Ken quote, we still
• 1:28:01
  do patriarchy, we just hide it better end quote. And when the mom
• 1:28:04
  went on her tirade and her extremist daughter started glowing, the movie had zero
• 1:28:10
  nuance that we use plausible deniability. Plus since the twenty and tens I've heard
• 1:28:15
  holly woke loud and clear. I will assume they have propaganda in what they
• 1:28:19
  make and they expect us to agree with them. Oh yeah, thank you
• 1:28:23
  for that. What's interesting to me and why I would say that this is
• 1:28:27
  anti woke? Um, you know, honestly, when you look at the
• 1:28:32
  woman in her breast, it's not that bad because if when you put up
• 1:28:35
  your arm like that, it does actually sort of reduce the size and flatten
• 1:28:40
  a breast. I'm gonna fix that. I mean, yeah, you know,
• 1:28:43
  don't fix it too much because you like the thing is that it does.
• 1:28:46
  You know, when you do put your arm up, it does lift
• 1:28:50
  it up and flatten it a bit, you know, make it less unless
• 1:28:54
  you got imp plants. Yeah, maybe she's like a sort of like an
• 1:29:00
  and an Amazon, and she just got an implant in one breast. Okay,
• 1:29:05
  it's a saint. Okay, all right, So let's get back into
• 1:29:11
  this analysis of this film and why it's probably not anti woke contentionally, but
• 1:29:17
  it sort of ends up being so in execution, just unintentionally, just like
• 1:29:24
  they I don't think it was at all something that they set out to do.
• 1:29:28
  It's just so overbearing and and it draws attention to itself. Yeah,
• 1:29:35
  because people are like what all right, So Ken gets this idea to go
• 1:29:41
  back to Barbie Land. Well, first of all, he discovers that in
• 1:29:44
  patriarchy, despite the man who says, oh, we don't do patriarchy that
• 1:29:47
  overtly anymore, which it definitely could be read, is this guy's just trying
• 1:29:54
  to get rid of him a nutcase. He tries to get a job everywhere
• 1:29:58
  in in patriarchy, like right in the real world, and he gets rejected
• 1:30:02
  because he doesn't have merit, right and uh. And then so he goes
• 1:30:08
  back to Barbie Land because he wants to start patriarchy in a blank slate,
• 1:30:13
  I guess. And then later out he succeeds. He succeeds in brainwashing all
• 1:30:17
  the Barbies. We don't know how though I actually watched this. There's no
• 1:30:21
  actual explanation for how he brainwashed it. It's just hand waved as something like
• 1:30:28
  smallpox and the blankets. They had no immunity to patriarchy, which really like
• 1:30:34
  that that that's that's a huge plot hole. There is no explanation for it.
• 1:30:40
  Um, So you, I know a lot of people aren't going to
• 1:30:45
  be like, aren't gonna be that interested in finding an explanation because, of
• 1:30:47
  course only it's a toy movie. But if you're making people pledge allegiance to
• 1:30:53
  a toy movie, obviously it isn't a toy movie. It's something deeper.
• 1:30:57
  It is an expression of some kind of ideology that you think is important,
• 1:31:00
  in which case, how Ken brought patriarchy to Barbie Land would be critically important
• 1:31:06
  to feminists because once you know how, you know how to stop it.
• 1:31:12
  But we never actually get into how. Apparently it's just Ken has a thrall
• 1:31:15
  and he puts the other Barbies in his thrall, and they didn't have an
• 1:31:19
  immunity to it because reasons. Although the way that they go about what ends
• 1:31:30
  up is Barbie returns, Ken has constructed this Barbie Land in which ironically it's
• 1:31:38
  just more reciprocal, So instead of just being accessories that are homeless, they
• 1:31:43
  live in the houses with the Barbies, and the Barbies are happy to give
• 1:31:46
  them things. And then later on we find that Ken's can be manipulated by
• 1:31:50
  their concern for their Barbies and their desire to care about their Barbies, and
• 1:31:55
  so there's this whole like it's more like ken Land is reciprocal, so people
• 1:31:59
  are paying it mentioned to each other and having relationships that are positive. And
• 1:32:03
  the way that it progresses is Barbie almost gets seduced into the ken Land and
• 1:32:13
  how it happens. And I don't know if this is intentional at all,
• 1:32:17
  but we find out that way back at the beginning, when Ken was like,
• 1:32:21
  can I can I have a sleepover with you? And she says no,
• 1:32:25
  it's the girls' night and every night is girls night and ha ha ha,
• 1:32:29
  and he looked hurt because he's being excluded. Way back then, there's
• 1:32:33
  a callback to that, and he basically says, you're you're you know it's
• 1:32:38
  boys' night tonight and you can tell that this is about you know how this
• 1:32:44
  is And he says, how does it make you feel to be excluded like
• 1:32:46
  this? Like you excluded me? And you see that this is what it's
• 1:32:50
  about for him, that he wants Barbie to know how he feels and how
• 1:32:57
  she has affected him and how you know he's vulnerable and yeah, I'm getting
• 1:33:03
  to that. I'm getting to that. So then we have a scene of
• 1:33:06
  her pouting like a child, like I the pout that's on Robbie's face.
• 1:33:14
  She looks like she's three and she's had her her dreamhouse taken away from her.
• 1:33:19
  And what's interesting is that that moment is when she realizes how Ken has
• 1:33:27
  been feeling, so how she realizes how the men of Barbie Land have been
• 1:33:31
  feeling. And then, of course the the filmmakers re refocus on this the
• 1:33:38
  fact that what's really upsetting her is apparently that she's lost access to all of
• 1:33:42
  her material stuff, not in the fact that she's realized what an absolute piece
• 1:33:47
  of shit she's been to Ken. All right, so you know what's really
• 1:33:51
  the problem is that she loses access to all of her goods, right,
• 1:33:56
  And again, the look on her face is out of a child losing her
• 1:34:00
  toy, right. And then she goes face first into the ground and she's
• 1:34:05
  like, this is the lowest I've ever been. I've lost my Barbie dream
• 1:34:13
  house to Ken. I can't believe it. This is so horrible. This
• 1:34:17
  is patriarchy. Men get the house in the divorce. Okay, then we
• 1:34:25
  don't live on one, but anyway, and then what happens is she's feeling
• 1:34:30
  low. We can only assume she's feeling low because she suddenly realized how she's
• 1:34:34
  been treating Ken. I mean, the the the the positive interpretation is she's
• 1:34:41
  feeling low out of a human feeling of compassion towards another person who she's treated
• 1:34:46
  badly. I guess the filmmakers are allowing that to compete with she's feeling low
• 1:34:53
  because she doesn't have access to all her pink shit. Um, but that
• 1:34:58
  seems really materialistic and shallow. So anyway, she dragged, she's dragged away,
• 1:35:03
  and we are subject to this whole thing where she's like, oh,
• 1:35:08
  I'm not I'm ugly. I don't I don't have the ability to get the
• 1:35:11
  material things back for the Barbies. I can't. I can't politically fight against
• 1:35:15
  Kim because I'm not smart. And then the woman, the feminist person,
• 1:35:23
  gives her the lecture, the human gives her the lecture about how she's a
• 1:35:27
  victim of all the things. Uh, you know, oh it's hard to
• 1:35:30
  be a woman, blah blah blah. Even though if you actually look at
• 1:35:34
  this in terms of how a story is structured, the reason why Barbie is
• 1:35:41
  in the dumps is because she's suddenly realized the things that the kNs have experienced.
• 1:35:46
  So she's in the dumps because she's finally realized what a man's life is
• 1:35:50
  like in her world. And the solution to that, obviously, to that
• 1:35:57
  sudden realization, oh, hey, men don't have it very good, is
• 1:36:00
  of course the human female telling her, Oh, but you're a victim of
• 1:36:03
  all of these things. You're a victim of this, you're a victim of
• 1:36:08
  that. You're a victim, victim, victim, victim, and then Barbie
• 1:36:11
  like snaps out of it. It's like, oh, of course men don't
• 1:36:14
  have vulnerabilities. Of course, it doesn't matter that can basically emotionally shattered by
• 1:36:19
  my behavior towards him, and he only seemed to have done this coup because
• 1:36:24
  he wanted me to understand what he was going through. All that doesn't matter.
• 1:36:28
  What matters now is that I am a victim and I am going to
• 1:36:31
  take revenge and I'm going to get all the Barbies ship back. And then
• 1:36:35
  we have this montage where they take the message of victimhood and they tell all
• 1:36:41
  the Barbies who've been brainwashed into reciprocal relationships with men, Oh, you're actually
• 1:36:45
  reciprococity is your oppression, and they snap out of it because the way that
• 1:36:53
  you snap out of a woman understanding the situation men are in is by reinoculated
• 1:37:00
  her with victimhood. Right, Okay, I'm stepping away for a few moments.
• 1:37:05
  All Right, I'll just continue. Hopefully you're you're listening, so you
• 1:37:09
  can have commentary when you get back. But so the way that you that
• 1:37:15
  you get women to revoke their understanding of vulnerabil the way that you get Barbie
• 1:37:19
  to realize that, you know, Ken's vulnerabilities, that he just sort of
• 1:37:25
  we're obvious to anybody who's watching this movie how she's hurt him. The way
• 1:37:30
  that you you oppose that is by reframing everything about how you're a victim,
• 1:37:38
  okay, And so she overcomes her sadness at recognizing the situation for men by
• 1:37:46
  reframing everything in terms of how she's a victim as a woman. They on
• 1:37:50
  brainwash all the other Barbies, which I guess all the other Barbies, just
• 1:37:55
  like the Kens went to them and said, hey, you know, this
• 1:37:58
  has been sort of hard on us because we're just dismissed by you. We
• 1:38:01
  don't have any claim to a space of our own, and you don't recognize
• 1:38:08
  us as our own people or people at all. Could we be more reciprocal
• 1:38:13
  in our relationship, and the Barbies were like, oh, yeah, actually
• 1:38:15
  that makes sense. I'm sorry your few have feelings too. I didn't realize
• 1:38:20
  that maybe I can accommodate your feelings and we can enjoy our time together in
• 1:38:25
  a reciprocal relationship, a balanced dynamic between men and women. That was them
• 1:38:30
  being brainwashed. And the way that you unbrainwashed women from wanting a reciprocal relationship
• 1:38:36
  with men in which they realize that it's good to make men feel good and
• 1:38:42
  that men it's good to also let men make you feel good. The way
• 1:38:45
  that you get women to end that kind of brainwashing, you know, the
• 1:38:49
  kind of brainwashing that makes them twice as happy as a single woman, is
• 1:38:55
  by emphasizing their victimhood at the hands of men. And then they gain that
• 1:39:01
  that inoculation of resentment, hatred, and contempt for men that makes them realize
• 1:39:09
  that our reciprocal relationship with a man is brainwashing, and so they they anti
• 1:39:15
  brainwashed, supposedly all the Barbies by by you know, creating this cult of
• 1:39:20
  victimhood. And like I said, there's no explanation for how the Kens brainwashed
• 1:39:27
  them in the first place. So I got to assume that the kNs just
• 1:39:30
  went up to them and said, hey, can we just have more of
• 1:39:31
  an equal relationship? And the barbies were like, you know that, actually,
• 1:39:34
  you know what makes sense to care about your feelings. I mean,
• 1:39:38
  you're another living human being. Why not? And then and then they came
• 1:39:42
  back with all these brainwashed barbies who are brainwashed apparently by the idea of fairness
• 1:39:46
  and a mutual affection. And they basically said, we're gonna unbrainwash you by
• 1:39:53
  telling you about how much of a victim you are of everything. And then
• 1:39:58
  the women gain their independence through resentment and um. And then they turn the
• 1:40:03
  tables on the kNs. You know how they turn the tables on the kins
• 1:40:09
  pretending to be victims. Yeah, and while they get them to be jealously,
• 1:40:14
  they well, I really want to go over the I really want to
• 1:40:16
  go over the victimhood one. Okay, we can get into the jealousy one
• 1:40:20
  too. The first stage of getting the barbies getting their world back is to
• 1:40:28
  play on the kNs desire to help them when they need help. Yeah,
• 1:40:32
  So the barbies distract the kNs by pretending to be victims even though they are
• 1:40:39
  actual victims. Allegedly, And I'm like, all right, so you're saying
• 1:40:45
  that the way to brain brainwash the Barbies is to get them to believe that
• 1:40:49
  they're the victims of the Kins, and then to or to manipulate the kNs
• 1:40:57
  is to get the Kins to believe that Barbies are falsely victims of shit like
• 1:41:01
  okay, So anyway, they manipulate the kNs concern for them and their care
• 1:41:06
  for them and their desire to help them in order to distract the Kens and
• 1:41:13
  unbrainwash the Barbies. So and they use the fact that the kNs care about
• 1:41:19
  the Barbies as a means to go grab a Barbie and explain to her how
• 1:41:28
  the kNs don't care about the Barbies. Yeah, can you fucking believe?
• 1:41:31
  Like this is how do you get through this movie without your brain breaking if
• 1:41:35
  you have any passing relationship to reality. But anyway, if you're looking for
• 1:41:40
  confirmation bias, you will find it. Yeah. So, anyway, they
• 1:41:44
  use the fact that the Kens care about the Barbies to brainwash the Barbies into
• 1:41:47
  realizing the kNs don't care about the Barbies, and this all makes sense and
• 1:41:54
  the game control over Barbie Land again. They also incite they use the Kens.
• 1:42:02
  They can't like Brian was saying jealousy for other Kins, like they'd use
• 1:42:06
  the jealousy between the kNs against them to incite the kNs to have a dance
• 1:42:12
  fight of some sort and description, Yeah, during the dance fight, somehow
• 1:42:16
  the Kens end up reconciling and actually Ken has the best line of the entire
• 1:42:25
  movie. It's his what he wants out of life is for Barbie to fight
• 1:42:30
  for him. Wow, Barbie to fight for him. Barbie to grab her
• 1:42:38
  ladyballs and do take some kind of risk for Ken. That's what she wants.
• 1:42:43
  That's his ultimate desire in all the world. I thought that line was
• 1:42:46
  great. I thought it was really beautiful. And then and then the kNs
• 1:42:50
  they have this dance off and then they realize what are we fighting for?
• 1:42:54
  Oh shit. The women are voting on the constitution to change barbie Land to
• 1:42:59
  ken Land, which was a thing yea or ken Land to barbie Land,
• 1:43:03
  Kendom to Barbie Land, And strangely enough, the Kens still allowed the women
• 1:43:09
  to vote, but since they were distracted, only the women voted, and
• 1:43:14
  so they retain it as barbie Land, take away the Ken's right to vote
• 1:43:17
  and hold office or in anything, and uh yeah, and then matriarchy is
• 1:43:25
  restored, good lord. And and then we find out, well, actually
• 1:43:31
  all of this shit was meaningless. You know why it was meaningless? All
• 1:43:35
  of this, all of this fight back and forth between the Kens and the
• 1:43:40
  Barbies, well not even back and forth. All the Barbies did was like,
• 1:43:43
  I mean, honestly, considering how much the Kens cared about the Barbies,
• 1:43:46
  why didn't the Barbies just say, hey, um, can we vote
• 1:43:50
  too? Because it sounds like the kNs would have been like sure, why
• 1:43:55
  not? You know, could they cared that much about them? And um,
• 1:44:00
  So the the end result of all of this conflict between the most conflict
• 1:44:06
  I don't even know. Oh, let me, let me finish the conflict,
• 1:44:10
  um Ken is uh, they finally reconcile with each other. They're no
• 1:44:14
  longer fighting. The vote's been taken. But now they come back and Ken's
• 1:44:18
  like, well, what do we do? What do we do? It's
• 1:44:20
  back to Barbie land. We no longer have any place to live, and
• 1:44:26
  we're homeless. Um, back to being homeless. Accessories and extensions of these
• 1:44:32
  women, and they say, well we need to fight them, and Ken's
• 1:44:39
  like looking at Barbie he can't even bloody well bring himself to fight her,
• 1:44:44
  even though she's spent the last half hour playing on his emotions, manipulating his
• 1:44:50
  love for her, and treating him like an enemy. Even though this,
• 1:45:00
  all of this, this entire conflict, this entire eleventh hour conflict, was
• 1:45:03
  inspired by him simply wanting her to understand how he felt changes, and that
• 1:45:13
  never changes. She never comes to the realization that maybe she should get out
• 1:45:17
  of her head to understand another human being. Ever, but anyway, she
• 1:45:23
  he can't even bring himself to fighter this woman of complete disregard for him as
• 1:45:29
  a human being. And then so he goes in. They have this discussion.
• 1:45:33
  She says she's sorry, but in a way that really doesn't suggest she
• 1:45:36
  understands anything that happened. She was just sorry enough to make herself feel better.
• 1:45:44
  Let's be real. Yeah, yeah, and she's just sorry. Yeah,
• 1:45:46
  it was just it was just so that she gets the same well,
• 1:45:50
  you know. Incidentally, when Barbie returns from the real world and finds the
• 1:45:55
  Ken's have taken over, she says something really interesting. We women built Everything's
• 1:46:02
  not actually true, but we women built all of this. How dare they
• 1:46:06
  take it from us? How dare they think they're owed any part of it?
• 1:46:11
  And yet that's the logic behind women getting into all of men's spaces,
• 1:46:16
  all of men's jobs and their businesses and their industries and their communities and their
• 1:46:27
  educational institutions, has simply been despite the fact that men built all of this,
• 1:46:31
  women are owed it by virtue of simply being excluded from it, are
• 1:46:36
  owed equal access or access at all by simply being excluded from it. But
• 1:46:42
  apparently that logic doesn't work with the Kins because women built Barbie Land, which
• 1:46:47
  they didn't they are complete and total owners of it. Isn't that interesting?
• 1:46:54
  And they never discussed that that that logic could have excluded women from everything.
• 1:47:00
  Women didn't build the government, women didn't build the army, women didn't build
• 1:47:02
  the academic institutions. Women didn't build a lot of these industries that they demand
• 1:47:06
  access to. By Barbie Land logic, that means women don't deserve any access
• 1:47:11
  to them at all. Okay, So anyway, instead of having ass like
• 1:47:16
  the culmination the climax being a discussion in which Barbie understands how she's been taking
• 1:47:25
  like just taking Ken for granted, she's been treating and the thing is that
• 1:47:30
  there's a moment in the Barbie and then we're getting back to why the main
• 1:47:35
  like the real world is apparently considered to be a horrible oppressive place for Barbie.
• 1:47:43
  She explicitly says, I feel like an accessory or they talk about being
• 1:47:48
  an accessory to someone else, right, and that is why Ken was upset
• 1:47:56
  over his treatment in Barbie Land, in part because he was an accessory to
• 1:48:00
  someone else. She never realizes that this is what she did to Ken.
• 1:48:06
  No parallel appears to be made between the two worlds are okay? But what
• 1:48:13
  okay? But could not this be argued as proof that this is this movie
• 1:48:24
  is anti woke on what basis everything everything Elison just described right okay? So
• 1:48:35
  um uh? Basically, the the Kens okay took over because it could okay.
• 1:48:45
  And then the Barbies used the Ken's own positive masculinity and uh and and
• 1:48:55
  blows framed as man's plaining though and sympathy and there their concern for the Barbies
• 1:49:03
  right to trick them into dilinquishing their thrall, relinquishing their thrall, And then
• 1:49:13
  the women manipulated the men. The Barbies manipulated the Kens into fighting each other,
• 1:49:20
  okay, during which time the Barbies regained power, and instead of doing
• 1:49:29
  the actual feminist thing according to feminists who say, well it's just about equality,
• 1:49:36
  instead of doing the feminist thing and saying both men and women should have
• 1:49:42
  the right to vote, they voted men's right to vote away. Well I
• 1:49:49
  don't know if they actually voted ren's right to vote away, but apparently I
• 1:49:53
  don't know. The political system is not really clarified at all, which really
• 1:49:58
  it does need to be. Like, you can't expect there are people,
• 1:50:01
  apparently who are women out there who want men to pledge allegiance to the stupid
• 1:50:05
  movie. Well, you can't expect anyone to pledge allegiance to something so incoherent
• 1:50:11
  with huge gaps in the logic. Yeah. Well, but but what I'm
• 1:50:14
  saying is, Okay, what I'm saying is, so you have basically a
• 1:50:21
  situation where women are cunts. Yep, I don't know, they're away,
• 1:50:30
  and they hate men, and they don't want men to have any power.
• 1:50:36
  And you know, women built this world and they're not going to share it,
• 1:50:42
  even though even though in the patriarchy in the real world, yes,
• 1:50:50
  men largely did build the world, and they shared it because it was largely
• 1:50:56
  built to protect and provide for women. Yes, dah, Like, why
• 1:51:00
  where do they think society comes from? And what society's purpose is? Like,
• 1:51:05
  it's absolutely like a society that only benefits men is a society that doesn't
• 1:51:11
  live past a generation. Yeah. In fact, we have a genuine bias
• 1:51:16
  towards not benefiting men, expecting them to sac that them to sacrifice for the
• 1:51:21
  production of society, and exclusively reserving benefit to women. So yes, And
• 1:51:28
  the funny thing is is that the Kens are obviously like if the kNs can
• 1:51:30
  be manipulated through their care for the barbies, they're obviously part of that same
• 1:51:35
  kind of system and it would continue Karen, Yeah, no, and okay,
• 1:51:40
  and so and we we also have like I mean, I'm just going
• 1:51:44
  to get into real life here, not real life in the movie, but
• 1:51:45
  real life in real life. Um, you know, like we have this
• 1:51:50
  idea, right, So they have the dance competition, right, and it
• 1:51:55
  turns out that they resolve their differences through the dance off, right, and
• 1:52:01
  and they they reunite the kNs, but too late, right, Okay,
• 1:52:08
  but you remember you remember the book Lord of the Flies. Yep, you
• 1:52:13
  remember the real life Lord of the Flies. Yep, completely different, completely
• 1:52:18
  different. There was no war, there was just cooperation. You remember watching
• 1:52:24
  Naked and Afraid men versus women or a survivor cooperations men versus women. The
• 1:52:30
  women were constantly fighting. The men were the ones who got together, that's
• 1:52:34
  real operated and uh and not only that, they used mild social reproach to
• 1:52:45
  deal with you know, uh slackers, free free, free riders and cheaters,
• 1:52:51
  right, you know, the men used used those tactics um of mild
• 1:52:57
  social reproach, you know, get off your ass there, you know,
• 1:53:00
  and uh and go get some fucking fish, please, right, do your
• 1:53:05
  job, um and uh. But yeah, no, the men's island was
• 1:53:13
  like a paradise of like luxuries and you know, shelters and like plenty of
• 1:53:20
  fish and plenty of fresh water. And the women's island was passive aggression and
• 1:53:29
  hangryness, angryness because they didn't have any food and they were all getting angry.
• 1:53:34
  It's almost as if men's cooperation is what we rely on to have a
• 1:53:40
  society, to do everything, to have civilization, or even even in the
• 1:53:45
  in terms of hunter gatherer societies, right, it's male male cooperation that makes
• 1:53:50
  that work too, even on a scale of like a village, a little
• 1:53:55
  village, or a group of one hundred and fifty people. Well, I
• 1:53:58
  mean to be fair, it's also female cooperation. But our society is a
• 1:54:00
  bit artificial in its name. Yeah, well it's female cooperation it um.
• 1:54:10
  Basically, you see through through the description of that Brazilian girl who was kidnapped
• 1:54:17
  by the Yano Mommy tribe, right, and she described the Karo tery attacking
• 1:54:26
  the Yano mommy um. And you know, so these are two different tribes,
• 1:54:31
  right, And the men fought to protect the women and children. But
• 1:54:36
  the men were all killed and all of the boys and young children were killed
• 1:54:43
  and uh, and then the women were taken. But there was this momentum
• 1:54:48
  where the women took shelter in like a grotto. I don't know what I'm
• 1:54:55
  assuming that's like a cave with water in it. And they there with some
• 1:55:00
  of the small children. And then one of them, who was closest to
• 1:55:08
  the entrance was caught. Okay, was noticed, and she was told to
• 1:55:15
  come out, and she did, and they were just going to take her
• 1:55:18
  and go. But then she said, oh, all of the women are
• 1:55:23
  in there. Yeah, she ratted out her sisters, and it was probably
• 1:55:30
  so she wouldn't be alone in her suffering, right, It wasn't so that,
• 1:55:35
  oh, maybe someday will rise up as the yano mommy women, you
• 1:55:42
  know, to defeat the carotarian escape. Right. No, women don't do
• 1:55:46
  that. That's why they take all the women and the girls who are maybe
• 1:55:49
  older than eight or ten, right, because they can work, and they
• 1:55:54
  can you know, and the girls are close enough to being reproductively reproductively viable,
• 1:56:00
  right, And so you have a situation where they just take those women
• 1:56:05
  because they know those women will switch gears, they will get used to their
• 1:56:10
  new situation, and they will comply, right, and they will not work
• 1:56:13
  together as a team to get out of the situation. Right. But they
• 1:56:16
  kill all of the boys and men, all of the males, right,
• 1:56:23
  even though they could arguably do more work as slaves. They don't take they
• 1:56:29
  don't take them as slaves because they can't trust them to never take revenge.
• 1:56:34
  M Well, eyes up, yeah, that's that. But there is a
• 1:56:40
  lot of of women keeping revenge alive in in in the history as well.
• 1:56:48
  But this is a real like an a side right, yeah, yeah,
• 1:56:55
  a little more I just wanted to say, even in hunter gatherer societies,
• 1:56:59
  women do not cooperate with each other, right because if you know, if
• 1:57:03
  I was a woman and I got caught and there were all the other women
• 1:57:06
  were hiding out of sight where they couldn't be found, right, I wouldn't
• 1:57:12
  say, oh, yeah, no, you've got to go in there and
• 1:57:14
  find them, because they're all in there. But you know, this could
• 1:57:18
  also be just one one woman who's a bit um anywhere, or it could
• 1:57:25
  be characteristic. M yeah, it could be characteristic. Yeah, you don't
• 1:57:31
  think that there's such a thing as as the woman who's just like yeah,
• 1:57:36
  no, if they've done studies, they've done studies on you know, if
• 1:57:43
  if if, if you get you have a choice, right, you get
• 1:57:49
  a one hundred dollars pay raise and your colleague gets nothing, or you get
• 1:57:59
  one hundred or you get nope, you get a one hundred dollars pay raise
• 1:58:02
  and your colleague gets two hundred dollars. Or you get a fifty dollars pay
• 1:58:08
  raise and your colleague gets nothing, and women will take the fifty dollars.
• 1:58:15
  Yeah, okay, can I make say a few things about this? So,
• 1:58:21
  first of all, I think that when Ken takes the dream house and
• 1:58:27
  he tells Barbie, how does it feel. I think we have to bear
• 1:58:30
  in mind that this is an inversion of the real world. So put pretend
• 1:58:35
  that Ken is a woman in the human world and Barbie as a man,
• 1:58:40
  and she does this because she feels like he has kept things from her.
• 1:58:45
  So we're not meant to see this as a man losing, you know,
• 1:58:49
  taking his hot taking a house from a woman. I don't think. I
• 1:58:54
  think that there's something about the inversion of the matriarchal society. Also, it's
• 1:58:59
  very telling what Greta Gerwig believes a matriarchy should look like, and as as
• 1:59:04
  it a counter to the patriarchy. So she the matriarchy the Barbies live in
• 1:59:10
  is what she believes the patriarchy in the real world is. I know it
• 1:59:14
  sounds ridiculous, but you can see it in the movie. Now fucking retarded
• 1:59:19
  here on your own. But you women are on your own, and we're
• 1:59:24
  not going to support you or feed you, yeah, or you're not allowed
• 1:59:28
  to have jobs. The only thing that Woke's can do is that they can't
• 1:59:31
  They can't tell a true story. All they can do is invert, so
• 1:59:34
  that's literally what she's doing. She's just inverting things. This is what always
• 1:59:39
  happens. Let's take the good guys and making them the bad guys. Let's
• 1:59:41
  take this scenario. And because all they can do is reverse things. So
• 1:59:45
  but look at look at look at the look at the reversal. Right.
• 1:59:47
  Oh yeah, no women, women weren't allowed to have jobs, right,
• 1:59:54
  and they weren't allowed to live in men's houses, right right? Yes,
• 1:59:58
  And and Greti Gerwick does believe that. I looked her up. I know
• 2:00:01
  some stuff about her beliefs. I've seen the movie she's written, I've watched
• 2:00:04
  some interviews. Absolutely intersectional feminist, like one hundred. Not just an inversion
• 2:00:11
  of patriarchy. It's also the rad fem Yeah, what they want the world
• 2:00:16
  to be. Yeah, they're telling you what they would do if they were
• 2:00:18
  in charge. Like that. That's basically what Barbie Land is. And then
• 2:00:24
  the other thing I had to point out is that it's very materialistic in its
• 2:00:28
  view. That's why Barbie is so depressed because she lost her house, in
• 2:00:30
  her car and stuff. Because Greta Gerwig is a materialist. In this secular
• 2:00:35
  world that we live in today, materialism is basically like the primary ideology,
• 2:00:43
  especially among Western women especially, so like, that's why it's all about girl
• 2:00:50
  bossing, getting a car, getting the high paying job, doing all this
• 2:00:55
  and putting off kids. It's why we're gonna have a population implosion. It's
• 2:00:59
  why because because we have pushed materialism, mo wage gap, education gap or
• 2:01:05
  whatever jobs must CEO's politicians with Supreme Court pushing that on women endlessly telling them
• 2:01:13
  that they're not good enough because they can't do these things, and it's men
• 2:01:15
  that are the problem. And so now we end up in a situation where
• 2:01:18
  men and women are set against each other by feminists. Now, the other
• 2:01:23
  thing I want to say. I know that that somebody wants to comment,
• 2:01:25
  but I want to add a couple of other things. You mentioned the um
• 2:01:29
  that women use men's desire to care about women on the Ken's to get them
• 2:01:33
  to essentially like you know, to get them to uh, you know,
• 2:01:36
  give the women the to deprogram them. I think that it's not the way
• 2:01:43
  that Greta Gerwig would interpret it. Is not that it's women using their womanliness
• 2:01:46
  to do it, is that they're using feminism to do it. So when
• 2:01:50
  so they use they use what feminists believe about men. So, oh,
• 2:01:58
  I've never seen the Godfather and the guys like you were seeing the Godfather and
• 2:02:00
  he's going to explain to her what the god man splaining the Godfather to her?
• 2:02:03
  Yeah, I know that's what they think that is. But the only
• 2:02:06
  reason why man splaining works is because the Ken's actually care about the women.
• 2:02:11
  I know that whatever the fuck they want, I know. But the thing
• 2:02:15
  is, the women in the story are annoyed that the men want to do
• 2:02:18
  anything for them at all. This is the sentiment that Greta Gerwig is putting
• 2:02:23
  out, is that men who want to help women are they are an obstacle.
• 2:02:26
  They are annoying, they are they are condescending right so, and they
• 2:02:30
  are the means by which we enact are aliens. Yes, I know,
• 2:02:33
  it's actually really freaking dehumanizing and contus is that's why she thinks? And I
• 2:02:40
  know, um, and the and then like the other thing I was gonna
• 2:02:44
  say, um, is that the one thing that I noticed that's really missing
• 2:02:48
  in this film, which considering it is a film about a doll for little
• 2:02:54
  girls to play pretend, and that Ken was made as a doll specifically to
• 2:02:59
  be Barbie's heterosexual partner, right, like they literally you can buy them as
• 2:03:03
  a wedding couple. It's his boy it's her boyfriend. Yeah, like that's
• 2:03:06
  what it was supposed to be. Okay, there is no love in this
• 2:03:11
  movie. Like there's no love, not even between the mother and the daughter.
• 2:03:15
  It's more like, oh, the mother earns the daughter's respect. There's
• 2:03:18
  no love. The dad is useless. Barbie and Ken don't get along.
• 2:03:23
  Ken obviously like has feelings for her, but they don't present that as love.
• 2:03:28
  They present it as kind of predatory and dangerous and like like an in
• 2:03:33
  cell. Yeah, entitlement, right, Like he goes to he dips her
• 2:03:35
  to kiss her and she's like no, that is like it's that is probably
• 2:03:40
  the one thing that is the most woke about it is that it is absent
• 2:03:45
  of love for men for women by extension, because if you don't love men,
• 2:03:50
  you can't love women too, because women want to love men. It
• 2:03:54
  is anti family, it is anti children. Um, it is obviously like
• 2:03:58
  anti the usual things, capitalism, etc. And that's all. But how
• 2:04:02
  how is it anti capitalist? It's not anti capitalist, but they but they
• 2:04:08
  say anti capitalist things in it. Yeah, that's just the saying it when
• 2:04:12
  the Barbies are obsessed with physical possessions. Yeah, that's the thing. Yet
• 2:04:16
  is not it's not it's not actually anti consumerist, it's complete. Any any
• 2:04:23
  ejaculation against the status quo is purely superficial and not really deeply considered. But
• 2:04:29
  um, okay, I'm seeing what you're saying there, Brian, and you're
• 2:04:32
  right. There is no love and Ken has turned into a joke because he's
• 2:04:38
  loved he loves Barbie. Yeah, okay, it's like there is no love
• 2:04:43
  except material things on the part of the kNs toward the Barbies. Yeah,
• 2:04:49
  that's but do you see the thing is that they're barbies? Yeah, but
• 2:04:54
  seen them that way? They don't see it that way. Let me add
• 2:04:57
  one to this too. I think this is really interesting. So the scene
• 2:05:02
  where the Kens are made jealous is a scene where Ken plays a song by
• 2:05:09
  Matchbox twenty called Push or Barbie Right, so what you know? You know
• 2:05:16
  the one anyway, and the song is by Matchbox Money. It's called Push
• 2:05:25
  and it's about a man. Rob Thomas was making a song about a man
• 2:05:30
  that was dealing with an emotionally abusive relationship, and the feminists hated that song.
• 2:05:35
  They hated that song, even though Rob Thomas was specifically talking about some
• 2:05:40
  personal experience. So when Greta Groway puts that song in the movie, she's
• 2:05:45
  not saying that like this is some kind of expression of Ken's, like,
• 2:05:49
  you know, feels about how he's being treated, because she has no sympathy,
• 2:05:55
  because you can see that because the Barbies are there, but they're just
• 2:05:58
  sort of humoring that. None of them want to be there, none of
• 2:06:00
  them want to hear that song, and so they they So this is like
• 2:06:03
  an extra twist in the knife. If you could see what I'm talking about,
• 2:06:08
  I'm saying, so um, that's I don't I still haven't gotten to
• 2:06:14
  the final analysis. Though, Okay, I'm sorry. All of this stuff
• 2:06:17
  is absolutely true. It is absolutely one percent true. This this fight between
• 2:06:23
  the Barbies and the kNs, the fact that the Barbies resent, the fact
• 2:06:26
  that or come to resent through a feminist indoctrination into their victimhood, they come
• 2:06:31
  to resent, the reciprocal relationship with the Kens, and all of that,
• 2:06:36
  and then the fight between the kNs will almost fight, but was it which
• 2:06:40
  is aborted because can can't even bring himself to even consider any kind of violence
• 2:06:44
  against Barbie. You know, all of that, all of that is wiped
• 2:06:48
  completely clean and is becomes utterly irrelevant as soon as Warren will Ferrell comes into
• 2:06:57
  the movie again. It is abs this is absolutely meaningless, that the entire
• 2:07:02
  conflict is completely meaningless, because once Will Farrell comes into it and he's joined
• 2:07:08
  by all the CEOs of the Mattel Corporation, we understand the true ontology of
• 2:07:15
  this world, the true world building. This is a world Barbie Land is
• 2:07:20
  basically a walled garden constructed by the patriarchy. All of these women are arguing
• 2:07:29
  over who controls the harem constructed by the patriarchy as represented by Will Farrell and
• 2:07:35
  all the men who make who basically seem like he offers to to send Barbie
• 2:07:43
  Land back to the way it was, and um, the black female president
• 2:07:46
  of the harem. Woh is that actually racist? Having a black woman in
• 2:07:53
  charge of the harem? I'm getting what I'm saying, not getting it?
• 2:08:05
  Black? A black woman in charge of the harem? Yeah, maybe maybe
• 2:08:11
  maybe they could. They could have the next the next Barbie can be black
• 2:08:13
  eunuch Barbie. Oh no, no, no, no, what we should
• 2:08:18
  have is black house and word. Yeah, okay, So anyway, the
• 2:08:26
  female black president says to Warren Farrell, who basically functions as gone and Will
• 2:08:31
  Ferrell, Will Ferrell, sorry, I got to patriarchal there for a moment.
• 2:08:37
  She says to Will Ferrell, No, we can't go back to the
• 2:08:39
  way we were, and then she immediately apologizes to weird Barbie for calling her
• 2:08:43
  weird Barbie. And I'm like, lady, that was your choice, that
• 2:08:48
  that was entirely under your control whether or not you did that. Why do
• 2:08:52
  you have to ask Will Farrell to give him permission to stop being a bitch?
• 2:08:56
  Like anyway. But but the the final conclusion of all of this,
• 2:09:01
  I do not know how they how this just flipped by them, is that
• 2:09:07
  Barbie Land is a walled garden created by patriarchs. Yeah. Period, And
• 2:09:16
  all of this contest between the Kens and the Barbies fighting over who rules Barbie
• 2:09:20
  Land irrelevant because it's a walled garden like the pat It's every bit of it,
• 2:09:28
  all of it, all of it. It's very existence, Owes,
• 2:09:31
  it's it's existence to patriarchy, to the patriarchy of the Mattel boardroom. So
• 2:09:39
  I'm like, how did you not notice that friends, how did you just
• 2:09:43
  did that? Just just pass your notice? Well? But okay, so
• 2:09:50
  maybe maybe maybe what essentially what it means trying, I'm trying to find something
• 2:10:01
  coherent to make it. There's nothing even that, given that I haven't seen
• 2:10:05
  the movie. But okay, So that the c suite of the Mattel Corporation,
• 2:10:13
  which are all men, okay, are in charge and obstruct the reality
• 2:10:18
  the Barbie obstruct They construct Barbie Land. Yes, and that's obvious because Will
• 2:10:24
  Ferrell says he can do he can just make it the same it was before,
• 2:10:28
  right, Yeah, okay, but they constructed Originally, they constructed a
• 2:10:37
  pure matriarchy where men were oppressed, and then the moment that women asked them,
• 2:10:46
  okay to reconstruct a pure matriarchy where men were oppressed, the men went
• 2:10:52
  along and did it. The patriarchal men went along and did it well.
• 2:10:58
  But the women said no because they insulted the weird Barbie or something. We
• 2:11:05
  don't really know what happens to the male Barbies. After this, one of
• 2:11:07
  the guys goes up to the president is like, can we have a Supreme
• 2:11:11
  Court justice? And she's like no. So one would have to assume that
• 2:11:15
  it just goes back to the way it was. And yes, like the
• 2:11:18
  male patriarch will make the the female walled garden, the Harem into whatever the
• 2:11:24
  women in the Harem want. If they want pink cadillacs, he'll do that
• 2:11:28
  for them. If they want uh playmobiles or like the Barbie mansions, he'll
• 2:11:35
  do that for them too, if they if they want a bunch of men
• 2:11:39
  with no genitals to hang out with, he'll go raid some African villages and
• 2:11:45
  get them some men with no genitals to hang out with. You know,
• 2:11:48
  the patriarch will do what they as these these white western oops sorry, I
• 2:11:52
  guess it's a little more diverse than white h these Western women want. Yeah,
• 2:11:58
  yeah, they'll can it can struck a perfect garden of materialism for them
• 2:12:01
  to exist within. And not just that. They can maintain this perfect garden
• 2:12:09
  of materialism by embracing women's victimhood. So they are victims of this perfect garden
• 2:12:16
  of materialism. All they have to do, All they have to do is
• 2:12:20
  maintain their belief that they're victims of ken and they have they have a materialist
• 2:12:26
  utopia, and that is ironically, they have no fucking clue what they wrote,
• 2:12:35
  but they wrote a complete and utter deconstruction of the bullshit of our world.
• 2:12:41
  And I think it's because I think it's because this woman, Greta,
• 2:12:46
  just took her brain out and splatted it down on the counter and then picked
• 2:12:50
  it up and thought she was she's writing one thing, but no, she
• 2:12:54
  was actually writing the contents of her own d There is one hitch, though,
• 2:13:01
  I think that it's important to point out because it might say something about
• 2:13:03
  the power dynamics that she was trying to show. So, yes, the
• 2:13:07
  Board at Mattel are you could say, the creators of Barbie and setting aside
• 2:13:16
  the fact that the Barbie was run by a woman for most of, um,
• 2:13:20
  you know, most of Barbie's history, and that the board as it
• 2:13:22
  exists now is eleven members, five women, six men, But setting that
• 2:13:30
  aside, one thing that does sort of stand out, and it is a
• 2:13:33
  scene they put in there. So there's a moment in the film when Will
• 2:13:39
  Ferrell, the CEO and the board realized that um, you know, Barbie
• 2:13:43
  and Can have like entered the real world and they gotta like, they gotta
• 2:13:46
  make it right. And he's like, you know, there's gonna be consequences
• 2:13:50
  and they can't be measured, right, we don't know it's gonna be bad
• 2:13:54
  or whatever. But and they don't really like you get the sense they're not
• 2:13:56
  gonna follow up on that. I saw Ben Shapiro's were and he said that
• 2:14:00
  nothing happens, but he's wrong. Something does. The one thing that happens
• 2:14:03
  is this, And this is what I think is kind of interesting. When
• 2:14:07
  they get back to Barbie Land after it's been taken over by the patriarchy,
• 2:14:11
  which just works. By the way, Ken has taken over the dream House
• 2:14:18
  and called it the Mojo Dojo Kassa House. And when he does that,
• 2:14:24
  when he declares that and he puts like saloon doors on it, and there's
• 2:14:28
  like a big pick up and all this. You know, basically every male
• 2:14:31
  stereotype that feminist hate is in the building, like mini fridges and beers and
• 2:14:35
  all that. In the real world, Will Farrell gets a call from Mattel
• 2:14:41
  the factory and they're like, we have this new product. It's the Mojo
• 2:14:45
  Dojo Cossa House and it's selling like crazy and Will Farrell has to stop it.
• 2:14:48
  He's like, oh, it's you know, it's already happening. So
• 2:14:52
  Ken's decisions in Barbie Land affect the real world. So man and he he
• 2:14:58
  makes he doesn't know it, but he makes a decision to create his pad
• 2:15:03
  and rename it, and it affects the real world. But it's like the
• 2:15:07
  threat of patriarchy extends outside of Barbie Land and real world. But but Will
• 2:15:15
  Farrell says, we got to stop it. So how do we know that
• 2:15:18
  it was Barbie's actually overcoming the Kens or was it Will Farrell saying, no,
• 2:15:24
  we gotta we got to cancel this product line, isn't it. The
• 2:15:28
  meta of this movie is so bizarre. How does anybody's power that that things
• 2:15:35
  get fixed in the real world? I think? Okay, I mean,
• 2:15:37
  like, how can a woman go to this movie and be like, you
• 2:15:39
  got to pledge allegiance to to my my my horse, which is my general
• 2:15:45
  you know, like Caligia. How can a woman gobbledygook you got to pledge
• 2:15:50
  allegiance to this gobbledygook or I don't mind the woman brain vomit. Yeah,
• 2:15:56
  yeah, but how can a woman do that? Like this is incomprehensible schlock.
• 2:16:01
  There was this one guy who went in and was like confirming this woman's
• 2:16:05
  feels. I'm like I would run from this, dude, run far and
• 2:16:09
  fast if you are spouting this incomprehensible gook. And he's like, yes,
• 2:16:15
  this is reality, and you need me to keep affirming your fucked up reality
• 2:16:20
  because no other man will. Um. Yeah, you don't want to be
• 2:16:24
  around a guy like that. Yeah that's a red flag, ladies. Yeah,
• 2:16:31
  at most, at most, right, if if you, if you,
• 2:16:35
  if you can't accept this movie as a parody of feminism, right then
• 2:16:46
  you can only accept it or enjoy it if it's fun. But I haven't
• 2:16:54
  heard anybody. I haven't heard anybody say that it's fun that wasn't fully on
• 2:17:00
  board with a feminism. I'm just saying that this person accidentally made an insightful
• 2:17:09
  critique of the world as it is. The patriarchy has constructed a walled garden
• 2:17:15
  of perfect female materialism, and all you have to do is a woman to
• 2:17:22
  keep it is play the victim of the very society that's constructed a walled garden
• 2:17:26
  of materialism. Unfortunately, I mean, there is sort of like some realities
• 2:17:31
  here that you can't keep spending your grandchildren's money when you're not having any grandchildren.
• 2:17:37
  But no, though we don't have to worry about that until the supply
• 2:17:39
  line breaks down. Um, but the other thing will be dead. Oh
• 2:17:46
  yeah, they I mean I'm already like we're we're already working on hunting gardening.
• 2:17:54
  Um. I get the impression that herbalism is going to become pretty am
• 2:18:00
  big because the the health industry or the health uh care in Canada seems to
• 2:18:05
  be getting worse and worse. Yeah. Um but anyway, Uh, the
• 2:18:09
  other thing I wanted to point out, Oh damn, you know I have
• 2:18:15
  lost the thing, Brian, use your patriarchal powers to put me in your
• 2:18:20
  thrall so I can remember. Yeah, put me in your thrall so I
• 2:18:24
  can remember the thing that I forgot. I don't forgot what she was going
• 2:18:26
  to say. Don't you have that? Don't you have that power to get
• 2:18:33
  into my brain and make me things? I don't know what you were going
• 2:18:35
  to say. Yeah, I'm sorry, I'm not I'm not an omniscience isn't
• 2:18:39
  sufficient? Yeah yeah, well there was something else that I was going to
• 2:18:48
  say that was pertinent. Um. So ultimately, at the end of the
• 2:18:52
  day, Yeah, there's this this sort of like uh dream sequence where oh
• 2:18:58
  this was it at least so this was part of it. There's this dream
• 2:19:01
  sequence where the creator of Barbie talks to Barbie and basically says, well,
• 2:19:09
  or actually it's not really a dream sequence, but I know what you mean.
• 2:19:11
  Yeah, the woman, the ghost of the woman who created Barbie,
• 2:19:15
  approaches her, and the woman who we've been following, who has the daughter
• 2:19:20
  who doesn't like Barbie, talks to the CEO of Mattel and he says to
• 2:19:24
  her, what is your wish child? And she wants ordinary Barbie, which
• 2:19:30
  who the hell wants to play with that? But anyway, he says,
• 2:19:33
  yeah, sure, will do it. She wants Bie that doesn't make women
• 2:19:37
  feel insecure because women are so shallow and so insecure and so narcissistic they can't
• 2:19:46
  even enjoy toys. And I'm pretty sure that little girls would be fine with
• 2:19:50
  it. Remember it's the adult woman that's asking for that. The adult well
• 2:19:56
  yeah, no, Brian, adult women are more victims than girls. Okay,
• 2:20:01
  so then they have they'll the the little girl asks, well, what
• 2:20:05
  does Barbie get, and then we have the sequence with the creator of Barbie,
• 2:20:09
  and the creator of Barbie essentially says, well, Barbie says, I
• 2:20:13
  would like to become a real girl, and the creator is like, yeah,
• 2:20:16
  I don't do that. All you have to do, Barbie is think
• 2:20:20
  that you are a girl and you are one. Oh yeah, you gotta
• 2:20:26
  get the trans message in there too, which you know, which you know,
• 2:20:31
  i'd i'd guess we're doing this now. I'm okay with it. But
• 2:20:37
  uh, but I just I just want to say that that was that and
• 2:20:41
  once again the feminist proof my nemesis Joseph Campbell Wright. Yeah, femininity is
• 2:20:50
  where everyone is going to. Femininity and femaleness is the end goal. It
• 2:20:56
  is the it is. This is what he said when a woman came up
• 2:20:58
  to h and said, well, what about the what about the hero's journey
• 2:21:01
  for women? And incidentally there is one, we just destroyed it, but
• 2:21:07
  in order to construct the feminist wretch. But he said, well, there
• 2:21:11
  is none because femaleness and femininity is what we are all striving for. So
• 2:21:18
  you can't be the thing that we are striving for and be the thing that
• 2:21:22
  strives for it. And yet in this movie, once again feminists prove and
• 2:21:28
  through their writing that they think the most important thing about a woman is that
• 2:21:33
  she is a woman, that she has a vagina, femininity is the thing
• 2:21:39
  that everyone's getting towards, trying to get. Yeah, that's how materialist it
• 2:21:45
  is. Basically, a woman is defined by her genitals period accept except they're
• 2:21:50
  not because we women have penises, right, and you believe you're a girl,
• 2:21:56
  you're a girl. Yeah. And then she gets a vagina somehow,
• 2:22:00
  and then she goes to guynacologist poignment, which she needs to be talked up
• 2:22:03
  for, you know, like uh, like she's having her vagina examined and
• 2:22:09
  the other woman's like, you got this. I'm like, what the fuck?
• 2:22:13
  What is this? Like a like is she's trying out like vaginal sirt
• 2:22:20
  to slay, Like, what the fuck? Is this a barbie or guess
• 2:22:24
  a barbie. It's she's in the real world now, So she's she's a
• 2:22:28
  real girl. She got a vagina. So the culmination of this entire fucking
• 2:22:31
  movie is she goes to guynacologist appointment. There was there was a kin yes,
• 2:22:37
  no penis who wished to be a barbie and therefore became a barbie.
• 2:22:46
  No, it was a barbie who wished to be a real girl, and
• 2:22:48
  therefore became a real girl by wishing. She just had to want to be
• 2:22:54
  a girl, and she became a real girl and she had a vagina,
• 2:22:56
  and then she went to the guyna call this is the Okay, I know,
• 2:23:01
  I know, Karen, this is difficult to comprehend. But this happened
• 2:23:05
  in the movie and they people brought their small children to this. Yes,
• 2:23:13
  yeah, why I mean, why are you saying it's not appropriate? And
• 2:23:18
  also like that that literally the all the end of her non hero's journey because
• 2:23:24
  this female character had absolutely no growth, no character arc. The end of
• 2:23:28
  everything was her realizing that she was enough and that by wishing she could have
• 2:23:33
  a vagina, that she did, and the end. And it's like you
• 2:23:39
  are proving Joseph Campbell, right, and that really pisses me off. That
• 2:23:45
  really pisses me off. Okay, I think, I think, I think,
• 2:23:50
  Yeah, we do really quick, okay, okay, yeah, yeah,
• 2:23:56
  please give me something to celebrate because I think I've had enough. All
• 2:24:00
  right, So some random lurker gave us a super chow um of looks like
• 2:24:09
  twelve hundred dollars. Yeah, sood for the awesome work you do. Yeah
• 2:24:16
  yeah, it's gone through so it's pretty amazing. I don't Yeah it is.
• 2:24:20
  I got to do. His name is hi, thank you. He
• 2:24:31
  didn't put a name. I won't put a name. Thank you very much,
• 2:24:35
  worker. So yeah, he's this individual has put through some super chows
• 2:24:41
  in the past. So it was very much appreciated. Jumping on JoJo's head.
• 2:24:48
  Yeah no, um, like totally, Joe, that is something to
• 2:24:52
  celebrate. It isn't not Karen we uh well yeah, but not on JoJo's
• 2:24:58
  head. You're going to move Badger Chan out over to the other side.
• 2:25:03
  I know Jojo can't stay still, He's got to move around. I was
• 2:25:07
  a little bit worried it might be a remote Ruby or Richard B because I'm
• 2:25:13
  like, I don't know he's been he's been giving a lot, and I'm
• 2:25:18
  like it always worries me a bit. It's just like, you're not dying,
• 2:25:22
  are you. You know what I mean? Well, um, yeah,
• 2:25:26
  but this is somebody else, So thank you. Maybe maybe he's just
• 2:25:31
  gotten inheritance, yes, or or something else. Now I really appreciate it.
• 2:25:37
  It just now well shit, okay, n you can you can put
• 2:25:43
  in as much as you like if you've won eighty million dollars. Yeah,
• 2:25:46
  well, obviously I want to be here and one of our listeners. If
• 2:25:54
  one of our listeners won eighty million dollars, uh, I expect fifty of
• 2:26:05
  net. Okay, can I just be honest like I did. I decided
• 2:26:11
  because I'm doing I'm writing it. I'm doing a writing. You know,
• 2:26:13
  I'm doing a writing. Um. And I decided, Okay, if I'm
• 2:26:18
  going to write, I got to read what people are are are writing today.
• 2:26:24
  You know what I mean? UM, and it's it's this is this
• 2:26:26
  does eventually relate to Oh, actually, let me get back to the feminism
• 2:26:31
  and Barbie before I get into this. The other thing that I know about
• 2:26:35
  this is um, not only is this basically a walled garden of materialism constructed
• 2:26:43
  for women by the patriarchy, it also indulges some of their insecurities about the
• 2:26:50
  men in it because the Cans, I think, considering how good looking the
• 2:26:54
  cans are, they probably represent that five percent on Tinder that women are all
• 2:27:00
  flocking to are the women on tender or flocking to And those women really want
• 2:27:07
  that Kendall to commit to them. But in this movie, what they get
• 2:27:11
  to experience is a Kendall that commits to them without ever having to actually have
• 2:27:16
  the relationship with him, which I imagine really soothes insecurities about the whole situation,
• 2:27:24
  if that makes sense. You know, they get to have that top
• 2:27:31
  five percent without actually falling following through on it. I don't know whether that
• 2:27:37
  makes sense, but I'm a moment I don't think. I don't think the
• 2:27:43
  average movie girl is going to get any of that. No, of course
• 2:27:46
  they're not. Yeah, they're trying, but we're going to walk away feely
• 2:27:50
  empowered, which okay, by nothing. So the next they have to come
• 2:27:56
  back to another Mattela hit to be are more empowered by mening probably going to
• 2:27:58
  be like a spike and breakups and shit and divorces. But I hope not.
• 2:28:03
  But I mean, the movie's still making a lot of money, so
• 2:28:05
  apparently, like whatever is in it is not enough for anyone, any women,
• 2:28:11
  Nope, from going anyways. So there's a lot about women, is
• 2:28:16
  all I'm saying. Yeah, it does, I mean unless they and really,
• 2:28:22
  what did I mean? I don't understand how you can appeal to the
• 2:28:24
  kNs caring about Barbie without recognizing that the kids care about Barbie anyway. They'll
• 2:28:31
  just say, oh no, they feel entitled to Barbie, they feel entitled
• 2:28:35
  to her body, feel entitled to help her. Geez, what a horrible
• 2:28:39
  form of entitlement. Good lord you we usually consider that to be part of
• 2:28:43
  a good relationship. But anyway, would so I want to I want to
• 2:28:46
  thank P. LM for ten dollars as well, and Aaron W. For
• 2:28:50
  fifty. I don't miss that. It's really nice. Thank you. Oh
• 2:28:58
  is too big? I know, Anonymous with his twelve hundred dollar support was
• 2:29:05
  definitely huge, big boost. Yeah, thank you. All right, kaboom.
• 2:29:13
  Now I'll go back to what I was saying. So, as somebody
• 2:29:18
  who's attempting to do the writing thing, I decided that I should read books
• 2:29:24
  that are being published today. So I went to good Reads. Incidentally,
• 2:29:28
  I didn't know this, but good Reads has a non ironic miss injury tag
• 2:29:31
  in which women who want to indulge in their hatred of men can can get
• 2:29:35
  the not insignificant number of books specifically designed to do that. As if I
• 2:29:41
  needed any more hatred towards the world and its contents. But anyway, so
• 2:29:50
  I went and I looked at the good Reads top fifty science fiction and top
• 2:29:56
  fifty fantasy. So I'm like, okay, I'll all just pick out whatever
• 2:30:01
  seems even remotely interesting, And so I did, and I went to Amazon
• 2:30:07
  and got just the samples, because I'm not going to invest in a book
• 2:30:09
  from good Reads, certainly not anymore. But I would also mention that all
• 2:30:16
  of the covers were pastel nightmares, pastel and typography nightmares, and this was
• 2:30:22
  science fiction. Only a few actually had sort of a sense of adventure on
• 2:30:26
  their cover, like you'd look at it and be like, hey, that
• 2:30:28
  looks like a cool thing to explore or be part of. Anyway, so
• 2:30:33
  I bought a whole bunch of them. I didn't buy it. I downloaded
• 2:30:35
  all samples from a whole bunch of them, and I read about ten of
• 2:30:39
  them. And they're horrible. And I'm not even talking about the editing or
• 2:30:45
  the Mary Sues or the poor world building or the they're just really really anti
• 2:30:54
  mail, like just divertly just hatred of men or just condemnation of male societies.
• 2:31:05
  Like there are there are books on UM, I don't know, the
• 2:31:09
  racism of the West, the sexism of the West, the UM one book
• 2:31:13
  was almost all of them had like an abusive father and UM. The ones
• 2:31:20
  that weren't overtly like didn't seem to have an overt antimail message, had the
• 2:31:26
  the stereotypical like every fantasy book has to have, like the the aristocratic saddist
• 2:31:33
  or the bully or that other crowd, you know, just the it's just
• 2:31:35
  the But it's the bog standard anti male stereotyping that you see in fiction.
• 2:31:41
  But I'm saying that that a lot of the books went even beyond the bog
• 2:31:46
  standard antimil stereotyping into anti anything that men do, anti male society. And
• 2:31:56
  it was just I mean, I I read ten books. Now I think
• 2:32:01
  I dread reading anymore. Like, honestly, I'm going to tell people,
• 2:32:05
  don't let your sons read fiction. Don't let them read books, at least
• 2:32:13
  not books that have been published in the last few years, because they're toxic.
• 2:32:18
  And I'm like looking at this, and I'm like, I don't know
• 2:32:22
  if I don't know if I'm going to get anywhere with my story because my
• 2:32:28
  story is pretty unrelentingly It's not that it doesn't have negative male characters or villains.
• 2:32:33
  I also have female villains. It's pretty unrelentingly pro mail, you know
• 2:32:39
  what I mean, and pro masculinity and recognizing the benefits of men and masculinity.
• 2:32:46
  I'm like, where is it? Like, how is it going to
• 2:32:48
  compete in a landscape dominated by this fucking blaming and contempt. It's terrifying.
• 2:32:58
  Any The other thing is that I almost want to exclusively read romance books.
• 2:33:05
  Now. I know this is going to sound really weird, but romance books
• 2:33:09
  actually seemed to like men and masculinity. Yep. Like I'm terrified of general
• 2:33:20
  fiction books now of what I'm going to find in them. And at least
• 2:33:24
  when I pick up a romance, I know it's going to be about a
• 2:33:28
  woman who wants to be around a man by definition, as long as it's
• 2:33:31
  not LGBTQ romance, which I don't know if i'd I would, I would
• 2:33:37
  pick it up before. I don't know if i'd pick it up now.
• 2:33:41
  Yeah, I actually knew this. Um this one author who wrote male male
• 2:33:50
  romance, right, she always had. I think she was a very self
• 2:33:56
  hating feminist woman, straight not not a lesbian straight um, but I think
• 2:34:05
  her parents didn't let her play with legos as a child, so um,
• 2:34:11
  she she had issues, um with her personality. She had such extreme issues
• 2:34:18
  with her personality, then why wouldn't her parents let her play with lego because
• 2:34:24
  she h, girl, I don't know, I don't it's not it's not
• 2:34:28
  that they didn't let her play with legos. It's just they put her in
• 2:34:31
  dresses and she didn't like it. Was raised and whatever she had borderline.
• 2:34:35
  She admitted to having borderline personality. This sord okay, okay, opinions.
• 2:34:39
  Then yeah, and and but she uh, every single plot in her book,
• 2:34:48
  So there's a straight woman writing male male romance. Every single plot in
• 2:34:52
  her books um involved two men and one woman, and the central character was
• 2:35:05
  being sought by the man and the woman, and the woman always not only
• 2:35:15
  lost and ended up lonely, but was humiliated and ended up being like treated
• 2:35:24
  like dirt, lost her job whatever, you know. And and then the
• 2:35:30
  men ended up together and they had hot, steamy sex, and I was
• 2:35:33
  just like then she kind of explained a little bit of why she was a
• 2:35:41
  feminist. She was a feminist because you know, her parents insisted all through
• 2:35:50
  her childhood that she'd be very feminine and wear frilly dresses and play with dolls
• 2:35:58
  and things and wouldn't let her or be the boyish girl that she wanted to
• 2:36:01
  be. And I'm sitting there thinking Okay, Like, are you are you
• 2:36:05
  literally saying that you would not be a complete psycho if only your parents said
• 2:36:11
  let you play with legos or what? Um? Because everything you write seems
• 2:36:18
  to be about hating heterosexual women and yet you are a heterosexual woman. Yeah,
• 2:36:28
  that's that's the other thing. Like a lot of so weird. A
• 2:36:31
  lot of the fiction that I read, right, and I look at that
• 2:36:37
  is supposedly anti male, Like it's also really deeply if you look at the
• 2:36:43
  way it structured anti female too, Like it's all just in many cases,
• 2:36:48
  just the one woman who's who's seen through the patriarchy and all the other women.
• 2:36:54
  Oh that was the other thing I wanted to say about the Barbie thing.
• 2:36:58
  Um, Apparently it's women like me and Karen who stop feminism from creating
• 2:37:03
  a utopia in which women control me men through their care for women. We
• 2:37:11
  are the ones who stopped because we talk about a reciprocal relationship between men and
• 2:37:16
  women and we actually want to care about men and are concerned about the things
• 2:37:20
  that make them vulnerable. That we are the ones who are stopping feminism from
• 2:37:24
  sweeping the board. Karen, That's another thing that I got out of the
• 2:37:28
  Barbie movie. Yeah, no, I I find it. I find it
• 2:37:31
  hilarious because you know, I am in a largely traditional relationship with my husband.
• 2:37:41
  He earns the money. He's the provider. I make a little,
• 2:37:46
  you know, but it's it's just nominal. It's like a couple hundred bucks
• 2:37:50
  a month something like that. He's the one who keeps us in, keeps
• 2:37:58
  me in wine and stay greats and uh and the dogs and kibbl um and
• 2:38:03
  uh and you know, lets me uh spring for you know, one hundred
• 2:38:11
  and fifty dollars worth of groceries and beer for my now oh yeah, today
• 2:38:18
  twenty one year old son who came over and cut all our extremely long grass
• 2:38:24
  the other day. Um today turned twenty one, my youngest. And but
• 2:38:31
  you know it's it's like, um, he does that, and I do
• 2:38:37
  all the cooking and the cleaning and the you know, most of the lightyard
• 2:38:41
  work and all of the housework and all of the laundry and all of those
• 2:38:46
  things, and and uh, you know, I I and all of the
• 2:38:52
  car maintenance and all of the driving and all of you know, certain other
• 2:38:58
  things that men tend to be um pushed into doing. So it's it's like,
• 2:39:05
  but we do have we do have a relationship where um, he basically
• 2:39:13
  provides all of all of the relevant money, right, all of the money
• 2:39:20
  that keeps us afloat, and uh, and I manage that money and and
• 2:39:28
  I do all of the domestic chores and uh and and it's like yeah,
• 2:39:35
  no, and we genuinely like each other. We do get frustrated with each
• 2:39:41
  other. We do bigger and argue at times. You know, there are
• 2:39:46
  times when one or the other of us feels unappreciated, right, Um,
• 2:39:52
  but uh, we've been together for like almost thirteen years now, and and
• 2:40:01
  it's and we've been doing it this way for probably the last eight Yeah.
• 2:40:07
  And um, the thing is that that and the feminists would call feminists would
• 2:40:11
  call your situation oppression and I have had called a feminist called my situation basically
• 2:40:18
  oppression and betaing or whatever the hell they said, Um, where I'm no,
• 2:40:22
  no, they said they they implied that you were the subservient house and
• 2:40:30
  word for your husband. And then you were like, no, he does
• 2:40:33
  all the dishes in the housework and everything and the cooking and most of it.
• 2:40:39
  Yeah. And then they said, oh, so he's a beta male
• 2:40:41
  and yeah, so how how do you how do you? We don't you
• 2:40:45
  don't you just become a miserable single woman like them. And yes, single
• 2:40:50
  women twice as miserable, like they're. Married women are twice as likely to
• 2:40:54
  be very happy relative to single women. So nope, you you guys are
• 2:41:00
  full of crap. You are not enjoying yourselves. Ironically, ironically, married
• 2:41:07
  men are um, they don't have that happiness disparity between single men, and
• 2:41:16
  that men don't have the same the gap, the extent of the gap.
• 2:41:20
  Really, okay, go ahead, let me let me conclude what I had
• 2:41:26
  to say. Okay, No, it was about the writing, and I
• 2:41:31
  just like the books that I've seen now are just awful. I mean,
• 2:41:37
  actually they make Barbie seem sort of almost um less, mean spirited, shall
• 2:41:45
  always say, astoundingly. Yeah I can. I can totally understand that,
• 2:41:52
  So I understand that that's where I'm coming from. I read some erotic fiction
• 2:41:56
  that was extremely anti male. It was basically it was interspecies, so it
• 2:42:05
  was it was a human female who was basically found herself joining tribe of effectively
• 2:42:16
  gorillas who had rudimentary language, and they were matriarchal, and she fell in
• 2:42:28
  love with one of the gorillas. He was really nice to her, and
• 2:42:35
  but all the all the human men were really horrible and uh yeah, no
• 2:42:41
  was I was just like, some of the ship that comes out of women's
• 2:42:48
  brains when they're writing erotic fiction is insane. Yeah, Like I literally I
• 2:42:58
  literally read a It was one of three stories in an anthology of novellas right
• 2:43:07
  where the it was about werewolves, and the climax of the of the book
• 2:43:13
  was this omega female werewolf being punished by having a bunch of male werewolves,
• 2:43:26
  the entire pack in wolf form run a train on her human form, and
• 2:43:39
  and I was like, and she really loved it, but she realized afterwards,
• 2:43:46
  after she orgasmed so many times, that it wasn't for her and that
• 2:43:52
  she was really actually in love with the vampire. And I'm like, what
• 2:43:56
  the fuck am I reading? That came out? Okay, let's literally just
• 2:44:03
  yeah. Um, but honestly, like like I said, aside from the
• 2:44:07
  weird erotica and um, the stuff that's LGBTQ, at least when you pick
• 2:44:13
  up a romance book, you're likely that the female character in it is going
• 2:44:18
  to appreciate a man in some capacity. And I know people are like,
• 2:44:22
  oh, romance, it's horrible, but she might she might not appreciate him
• 2:44:24
  right away, you might not appreciate it, but she will come to appreciate
• 2:44:28
  him, to appreciate it. Yeah, And that's that actually is it's sort
• 2:44:33
  of heartwarming. So I'm I'm like, I know it sounds weird, but
• 2:44:37
  I'm like at the point where I don't know if I want to read general
• 2:44:41
  fiction because it seems like the books have split into romance where a woman you
• 2:44:46
  know, might end up appreciating a man at some point in the story,
• 2:44:50
  because that's sort of the point in the story. I don't know how many
• 2:44:54
  romances people have actually read. And yes, I know romances can give women
• 2:44:56
  bad ideas about men's ability to read their minds. But on the other hand,
• 2:45:03
  at least in a romance, you know that the woman is going to
• 2:45:07
  appreciate the man for something and anti action, and most of the time in
• 2:45:15
  a romance there is something called the big misunderstanding. Yeah, and where the
• 2:45:20
  woman assumes the worst of the man, right, and she assumes the worst
• 2:45:26
  and then she retaliates against him or she leaves him, or she like,
• 2:45:31
  you know, she's she's like, I'm done with you, right, and
• 2:45:35
  then she actually understand, comes to understand sometimes through his incredible sacrifice physically or
• 2:45:48
  whatever on her behalf. He he goes and he fights for her honor or
• 2:45:52
  whatever right he suffers. He volunteers to suffer to prove himself to her.
• 2:46:01
  And then she realized she had it wrong all along, and she humbles herself
• 2:46:07
  and realizes that she jumped, she leapt to conclusions and she was totally in
• 2:46:16
  the wrong, and she's so sorry, and like, there's usually some kind
• 2:46:20
  of moment like that, and sometimes in the better ones, she has to
• 2:46:24
  do some sacrificing of her own, yes, spake up for it. And
• 2:46:28
  actually, like, there was one romance that really gobsmacked me. It was
• 2:46:33
  between a woman and and it was one of the few stories where the female
• 2:46:39
  character actually said, you know, I live in a patriarchy, but that
• 2:46:43
  means that I actually am more likely to get away with shit and be protected
• 2:46:46
  from things that men would be hit by. She actually, like, the
• 2:46:50
  female character actually acknowledged that in the story. And then the story was about
• 2:46:54
  her that she ended up falling in love with a guy who was a research
• 2:47:01
  scientist, except he was I think a political prisoner of the regime that she
• 2:47:09
  she was sort of part of, and they had caused some really severe mental
• 2:47:16
  effects in him, and he had like the sphere amnesia and an inability to
• 2:47:20
  really act outside of his orders. So he's basically brainwashed, and she had
• 2:47:28
  to go through hell to get him free, yeah from it, and to
• 2:47:35
  actually to win his freedom, and in the end, she lost her I
• 2:47:41
  think she lost her memories of him, while he regained his memories of her,
• 2:47:46
  And she knew that this was going to happen throughout this entire process,
• 2:47:50
  So at the end, it's just this moment where she's meeting him again for
• 2:47:54
  the first time. Or no, he was going to lose his memories of
• 2:47:56
  her through this process because of the bomb that was basically primp planted in his
• 2:48:01
  head. Is not like a physical bomba it's like some kind of psychological thing
• 2:48:05
  to erase the data that he's working on or whatever. Yeah. Yeah,
• 2:48:09
  And so the end is her just meeting him in a garden because he's being
• 2:48:13
  rehabilitated, is like a convalescence home, because he's like so fucking destroyed by
• 2:48:18
  this experience, messed up, and just you know, he doesn't remember her,
• 2:48:22
  and she's meeting him again for the first time. So the only thing
• 2:48:26
  that she gets out of this whole nightmare experience that she went through was the
• 2:48:31
  fact that he's safe and and the possibility of a future relationship with him if
• 2:48:37
  they can reconnect. So it was actually this really heartwarming, heartrending like romance,
• 2:48:43
  very very top tier as far as I'm yeah, you even look at
• 2:48:48
  you even look at the first Jason Bourne movie, very similar to that where
• 2:48:54
  she you know, she kind of gets dragged along fresh friend if you yeah,
• 2:49:01
  I'll refresh. Okay, yeah, yeah, sorry if this is boring,
• 2:49:03
  Brian, but we're trying to we're trying to, like stoke. I
• 2:49:07
  think we're trying to stoke up our morale after that. Yeah, okay,
• 2:49:11
  But but basically, you know, like they go through all this shit together.
• 2:49:16
  They just get thrown together like by chance, by random chance, and
• 2:49:20
  she helps him out, and she helps him while he's struggling through, getting
• 2:49:26
  some kind of memory of what's going on, some kind of understanding of what's
• 2:49:30
  happening to him back right, and and then then he helps her escape,
• 2:49:39
  and then he manages to facilitate his own escape, and then he finds her
• 2:49:45
  after right, But it's just like it is this thing where he's just like,
• 2:49:50
  yeah, no, you helped me through something like I was literally gonna
• 2:49:56
  die if you didn't help me, and you did, and you risked your
• 2:50:01
  life helping me. And I didn't know. I didn't know at the time
• 2:50:07
  that that is what I was asking of you, right, But but it's
• 2:50:11
  like, yeah, no, so you you go be safe. And then
• 2:50:16
  he went and found her afterwards, after everything was all had all blown over,
• 2:50:22
  and it's just like, yeah, yeah, and heartwarming. That is.
• 2:50:24
  Yeah, it really is. It really is. And it's like and
• 2:50:28
  you know, romance gets mocked to hell and yet and in many ways,
• 2:50:33
  I'm I'm I'm prepared to say it's about the only thing worth reading now.
• 2:50:37
  Yeah, yeah, no, And um oh god, what was it?
• 2:50:41
  The one with Madeline Stowe and Bruce Willis where they're in the congo. That
• 2:50:48
  was another kind of you know, and then you look at Last of the
• 2:50:52
  Mohicans and you know, all of these movies where women actually grab their balls
• 2:51:00
  and earned something. Yeah, it's very satisfying. What a surprise, And
• 2:51:05
  it's so funny because of that. That's what I what I really found the
• 2:51:09
  one why that I found that to be the best line. I want Barbie
• 2:51:13
  to fight for me. Well, unfortunately, Ken Barbie is a slopsistic child
• 2:51:18
  who fights from no one but her own material pleasure. There you go.
• 2:51:24
  She's not even a maiden because maidens in fairy tales had to have courage.
• 2:51:31
  True, she's just a ye, she's just a wretch. Okay, all
• 2:51:37
