Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Hello, and welcome to HBr Talk four oh two the
- 0:03Speaker 1: in Cell Trip. Are we there yet? I'm your host
- 0:08Speaker 1: Tania Wallin here with nonsense Annihilator Lauren Brooks.
- 0:12Speaker 2: A.
- 0:14Speaker 1: The personification of perceptivity, Mike Stevenson.
- 0:18Speaker 3: Jello.
- 0:20Speaker 1: Richard, the Lionhearted. Hello, and we have the Dojent Charge
- 0:24Speaker 1: Brian Martinez working in the background to make everything happen.
- 0:28Speaker 1: But before we get into everything, we gotta do what
- 0:31Speaker 1: we gotta do. As always, Honey Badger Radio dishes out
- 0:34Speaker 1: a S. Morgas board of thought provoking discussions, and as
- 0:39Speaker 1: experiences both recent and long past have demonstrated to us,
- 0:44Speaker 1: the provoked thoughts are fighting back. They made it clear
- 0:47Speaker 1: that for people like us relying on third party payment
- 0:50Speaker 1: platforms like Patreon defund, our work is treading on thin
- 0:53Speaker 1: ice or building our house in the path of a
- 0:55Speaker 1: rapidly growing wildfire. In light of this, we strongly encourage
- 1:00Speaker 1: our supporters to switch at least their support for us
- 1:02Speaker 1: to Feed the Badger dot Com the most stable way
- 1:04Speaker 1: to help us out. And if you want to tip
- 1:07Speaker 1: us directly instead of relying on any social media platforms,
- 1:10Speaker 1: tip jar. The link for that is Feed the Badger
- 1:12Speaker 1: dot com slash just the tip and as always, the
- 1:17Speaker 1: same risk applies to our social media platforms, which is
- 1:20Speaker 1: why you should further provoke the thought police by tracking
- 1:24Speaker 1: our thought provoking discussions on Honey Badger Brigade dot com,
- 1:27Speaker 1: where you can find your way to all of our content,
- 1:29Speaker 1: as well as a link to feed the Badger dot
- 1:31Speaker 1: com in the drop down menu at the top of
- 1:33Speaker 1: the page. And before we get into the article, there
- 1:37Speaker 1: is something that I'm gonna talk about simply because it
- 1:41Speaker 1: it just struck me today. There's there's a lot of
- 1:45Speaker 1: different ways that we've talked about politics, the two party
- 1:48Speaker 1: system in the United States, meaning not that there's not
- 1:52Speaker 1: other parties, but that the two parties pretty much win
- 1:55Speaker 1: everything all the time except for a few minor seats
- 1:59Speaker 1: in different places. And so politics in the US really
- 2:03Speaker 1: is mostly a battle between Democrats and Republicans, and the
- 2:11Speaker 1: men's rights spectrum of political issues doesn't specifically fall into
- 2:18Speaker 1: one camp or the other, in that both camps right
- 2:22Speaker 1: now are guyinocentric. And we've been talking about that, like
- 2:25Speaker 1: we've talked about that a lot, but something that I've
- 2:29Speaker 1: kind of realized today when you talk to Democrats right
- 2:36Speaker 1: now online most of the time, they don't have any
- 2:41Speaker 1: reason to listen to you. They don't care, they don't
- 2:43Speaker 1: want to, they don't want to hear about our issues.
- 2:46Speaker 1: They don't once in a blue moon, they'll already be
- 2:50Speaker 1: on your side if you're talking about don't shit on
- 2:54Speaker 1: people for being trans or don't shit on men for
- 2:57Speaker 1: being gay. But when it comes to men's right to
- 3:02Speaker 1: have custody of their children, men's right to do process,
- 3:08Speaker 1: they're divided based on race or based on things like, well,
- 3:15Speaker 1: are those men gay, then we should give them custody.
- 3:18Speaker 1: But if they're not gay, they don't have enough victim points,
- 3:20Speaker 1: and then we should not. So you end up with
- 3:24Speaker 1: very little ability to get anything done by talking to
- 3:29Speaker 1: Democrat politicians, Democrat activists, any of that, because they're not
- 3:36Speaker 1: sympathetic to men, they're sympathetic to progressive stack victim points.
- 3:43Speaker 1: Now on the Republican side, you have this divide that
- 3:46Speaker 1: has just happened, like it's fractured. The party is as
- 3:51Speaker 1: fractured right now in some ways as the Democrat Party
- 3:56Speaker 1: had been in twenty sixteen. And because of that, there
- 4:05Speaker 1: are ways in which that party is somewhat ripe for
- 4:09Speaker 1: the taking by men's rights activists, it's not currently suitable
- 4:18Speaker 1: as it stands as a vehicle for getting people to
- 4:23Speaker 1: understand men's issues necessarily. It's still very guyinocentric right now.
- 4:29Speaker 1: The whole party, not just the old school GOP conservative
- 4:41Speaker 1: old guard they're they're extremely ginocentric. But MAGA is very
- 4:47Speaker 1: guinocentric too in a lot of ways. Although they have
- 4:51Speaker 1: been schooled on due process because of what happened with Trump,
- 4:56Speaker 1: because of what happened with oh Supreme Court judge, Now,
- 5:03Speaker 1: why can't I think of his name starts with a K. Anyway,
- 5:09Speaker 1: all of that had schooled MAGA on the importance of
- 5:13Speaker 1: due process, but they still don't quite get it when
- 5:17Speaker 1: it comes to men who are accused of venement, partner
- 5:20Speaker 1: and sexual violence, who aren't famous or part of Yeah, Kavanaugh,
- 5:24Speaker 1: thank you, mister three or three, who aren't famous, who
- 5:28Speaker 1: aren't part of the elite of the party, who aren't
- 5:32Speaker 1: people who can do something for them. If it's you,
- 5:35Speaker 1: they're still not quite getting it. And if it's somebody
- 5:38Speaker 1: from the other party, they're still willing to wield false
- 5:42Speaker 1: allegations or unverified, unvetted allegations as a weapon. But that's
- 5:50Speaker 1: largely because I think a lot of people in the
- 5:53Speaker 1: men's rights movement don't get involved in party politics at all,
- 5:57Speaker 1: And I genuinely think think that if young men were
- 6:02Speaker 1: to en mass start moving toward taking control of one party,
- 6:11Speaker 1: they could do it if they focused on the Republican Party.
- 6:17Speaker 1: If young men and the men's rights movement wanted to
- 6:20Speaker 1: change the direction that a party is moving, that's the
- 6:25Speaker 1: party they can affect right now. And the reason I
- 6:28Speaker 1: say this is because they are the ones that right
- 6:33Speaker 1: now there's a new guard replacing the old guard. Young
- 6:36Speaker 1: blood is coming in and they are openly turning over
- 6:43Speaker 1: as a party from from previously being just about tradition
- 6:53Speaker 1: and just about you know, the old ways of doing things,
- 6:58Speaker 1: whether they were tradition or not, to looking more towards
- 7:03Speaker 1: civil rights, looking more towards smaller government, and looking more
- 7:08Speaker 1: toward reforming some of the really egregious due process violations
- 7:17Speaker 1: that have been written into law and policy in the
- 7:18Speaker 1: Pact in the past. So it's not so much that
- 7:22Speaker 1: I think the Republicans are a men's rights party, as
- 7:29Speaker 1: I think that if you want to have success in
- 7:39Speaker 1: getting through the American political system to actually change law
- 7:44Speaker 1: and policy. It's going to be easier to knock the
- 7:50Speaker 1: guyn of centrism out of the Republican Party than it
- 7:53Speaker 1: is to knock the guayn of centrism out of the
- 7:56Speaker 1: Democrat Party. And the one thing that probably would have
- 8:01Speaker 1: to be put on a back burner is the fight
- 8:05Speaker 1: over bathrooms. And we are fully aware that before women
- 8:12Speaker 1: started complaining about trans women and women's bathrooms, women spent
- 8:19Speaker 1: decades fighting to get into every space that men have.
- 8:24Speaker 1: And women have spent decades invading men's bathrooms, men's locker rooms, right,
- 8:32Speaker 1: men's clubs, men's organizations, men's sheds are even getting invaded.
- 8:38Speaker 1: We're aware of that. But right now, probably the biggest
- 8:44Speaker 1: and most important two battles that the movement has are
- 8:50Speaker 1: preventing the state from separating children from their fathers and
- 8:55Speaker 1: preventing the state from taking away due process rights from
- 8:59Speaker 1: the average individual. And if you want to win those
- 9:05Speaker 1: two battles, you can't be divided by the battle over
- 9:12Speaker 1: the bathrooms. And it's just not going to work. If
- 9:15Speaker 1: you're so busy fighting over the bathrooms that you neglect
- 9:21Speaker 1: the battles over due process rights and family rights, family
- 9:26Speaker 1: unity and stuff. You're going to find that you lose
- 9:29Speaker 1: all of the battles, especially in dealing with the old
- 9:34Speaker 1: guard of both parties. You're not going to get sympathy
- 9:37Speaker 1: from the Democrats and you're not going to get sympathy
- 9:41Speaker 1: from the Republicans. So the best option that I see
- 9:46Speaker 1: strategically right, not so much it's not going to feel
- 9:53Speaker 1: good as an option, but strategically, really the best option
- 9:58Speaker 1: is to go in and take that party away from
- 10:06Speaker 1: the Guynescentrists and make it ours. Seems like a big job,
- 10:15Speaker 1: but it's very possible, and it's much more likely to win.
- 10:23Speaker 1: When you're talking about who's going to be president, who's
- 10:28Speaker 1: going to be legislators, who's going to be judges, who's
- 10:32Speaker 1: going to determine whether the judicial system uses feminist jurisprudence,
- 10:38Speaker 1: who's going to decide what kind of laws stay in
- 10:42Speaker 1: place and which ones get repealed, what new laws passed,
- 10:46Speaker 1: and so on. It's very much going to be necessary
- 10:52Speaker 1: to have a political party that you can get candidates
- 10:58Speaker 1: into that when they get into office, can affect these things.
- 11:03Speaker 1: Then to spend the rest of our lives as a
- 11:06Speaker 1: movement going well, we can't get anything done because both
- 11:10Speaker 1: parties are against us.
- 11:11Speaker 2: It's futile.
- 11:13Speaker 1: Sorry, guys, these things are all bad and wrong and
- 11:17Speaker 1: we're stuck. But there's nothing we can do about it. No,
- 11:22Speaker 1: just storm the gates and start changing the way people
- 11:27Speaker 1: think from the inside. You make it ours, rather than
- 11:35Speaker 1: not being able to get anything done because it's not.
- 11:41Speaker 1: That's the only way. So I'm talking about getting aggressive,
- 11:45Speaker 1: not violently aggressive, but politically aggressive, right, and it is
- 11:52Speaker 1: going to be difficult. It's not something I mean to say. Well,
- 11:54Speaker 1: in five minutes, we could just take over the Republican Party. No,
- 11:59Speaker 1: that won't have happen. But in the future, as we
- 12:06Speaker 1: work at actually getting shipped done, we're much more likely
- 12:13Speaker 1: to succeed if we do our own long march through
- 12:19Speaker 1: that institution now than we are if we we try
- 12:24Speaker 1: to try to fight with both parties forever or start
- 12:29Speaker 1: our own. It's really it's really not gonna happen if
- 12:33Speaker 1: we try to start our own. So that's what needs
- 12:38Speaker 1: to happen, guys. There needs to be a divide and
- 12:43Speaker 1: conquer attitude. Let the let the old guard go, get
- 12:48Speaker 1: rid of the old blood, bring in the new blood,
- 12:50Speaker 1: and be the new blood. That's that's influencing how the
- 12:57Speaker 1: party changes. But it's only gonna work with that one
- 13:01Speaker 1: because the other one is going to hate you for
- 13:03Speaker 1: being male because of where you stand in the progressive stack,
- 13:09Speaker 1: which is always as a lower level victim or a
- 13:13Speaker 1: higher level oppressor than the women of your position in
- 13:18Speaker 1: that stack. So yeah, that's that's that's my take on it.
- 13:26Speaker 4: I like, I like the idea. I would like to
- 13:31Speaker 4: see more new blood coming in to these parties. The
- 13:39Speaker 4: most promising one that I'm seeing right now is Spencer Pratt,
- 13:43Speaker 4: and maybe we have to start at the state level
- 13:46Speaker 4: and not you know, think about you know, trying to
- 13:52Speaker 4: win over whoever is going to be in the Oval office.
- 13:55Speaker 4: Obviously that's that.
- 13:57Speaker 5: Is a long haul.
- 13:58Speaker 1: But you know, I.
- 14:00Speaker 4: Really like Spencer Pratt. I think he is a candidate
- 14:05Speaker 4: that would probably be more susceptible to men's rights issues.
- 14:12Speaker 4: I like him because you don't know where he stands
- 14:15Speaker 4: on Trump, you don't know how he feels about and Ron,
- 14:20Speaker 4: you know a lot of things. You just don't know
- 14:23Speaker 4: where he falls. But what he does do, he's not
- 14:31Speaker 4: He's not someone that's trying to tear things down. He's
- 14:35Speaker 4: trying to point out what's going wrong and say this
- 14:39Speaker 4: is what I'm going to do different, And I don't know.
- 14:44Speaker 4: I'm just very hopeful for him. I think there Yes,
- 14:50Speaker 4: it is a long road to hoe, but you know,
- 14:53Speaker 4: there is promise here. And you know, if we can
- 14:58Speaker 4: just get everybody on the same page and you know,
- 15:00Speaker 4: the whole bathroom thing that you're right, it's just a
- 15:04Speaker 4: losing argument. I'm so sick and tired of hearing about
- 15:08Speaker 4: the bathroom argument. There's always going to be some father
- 15:12Speaker 4: who's over zealous about who's around his young daughter, and
- 15:16Speaker 4: with good intense you know, like I get that right,
- 15:21Speaker 4: but it's just not it's not winning anybody over. You know,
- 15:27Speaker 4: people can see the people can see the legitimacy of
- 15:34Speaker 4: the argument. However, what are we doing, Like you're arguing
- 15:40Speaker 4: about bathrooms. It's time to move on and move forward. Yes,
- 15:46Speaker 4: I think that's something that should still be you know,
- 15:50Speaker 4: it's not something that we should just shove off of
- 15:53Speaker 4: the table. You know, don't throw the baby out with
- 15:55Speaker 4: the bathroom water type of situation. But you know, men's
- 16:01Speaker 4: rights issues extend far beyond who's using watch bathroom, you know,
- 16:09Speaker 4: So yeah, I'm with you on that.
- 16:12Speaker 1: Thanks. I think that it's kind of our only pathway
- 16:18Speaker 1: at this point, like we aren't going to get anywhere
- 16:22Speaker 1: with both parties being against us, and we're not going
- 16:25Speaker 1: to persuade the Democrats, like that's just not gonna happen,
- 16:29Speaker 1: and we're not really going to persuade the Republican Party
- 16:32Speaker 1: as it stands either. We would have to get involved
- 16:37Speaker 1: and not just start talking to people, but start being
- 16:42Speaker 1: being the party, meaning that you know, there need to
- 16:46Speaker 1: be enough people who are men's rights oriented or men's
- 16:52Speaker 1: issues sympathetic, whatever you want to call yourself. People who
- 16:56Speaker 1: are interested in ensuring that that families aren't being broken
- 17:03Speaker 1: up by the state, that families, that women aren't being
- 17:06Speaker 1: encouraged and incentivized to divorce with financial incentives. Like people
- 17:12Speaker 1: who want to see you know, the court system, the
- 17:18Speaker 1: legal system change so that gaff to actually be guilty
- 17:23Speaker 1: of a crime, to be found guilty of a crime
- 17:26Speaker 1: and go to jail because evidence matters in the court system.
- 17:30Speaker 1: Things like that. More people with those as their main
- 17:36Speaker 1: goals in their political activism need to start registering, going
- 17:43Speaker 1: to the primaries, voting based on candidates, how candidates address
- 17:50Speaker 1: those types of issues, getting involved in local like Republican events,
- 17:57Speaker 1: Republican not clubs, but organizations and even you know, if
- 18:04Speaker 1: you're the type of person that does canvassing or other
- 18:09Speaker 1: door to door activities, works in a fair county, fair
- 18:12Speaker 1: booth things like that. Being involved and having the ear
- 18:18Speaker 1: of the guy down the street who's going to run
- 18:21Speaker 1: for city council is a lot bigger than people think
- 18:25Speaker 1: it really is, because if you get that guy's ear,
- 18:29Speaker 1: he's got the ear of the county commissioner, who has
- 18:33Speaker 1: the ear of your your local representative at the state level,
- 18:38Speaker 1: who has the ear of the governor and the senator
- 18:41Speaker 1: at your state level, and the senator and representative at
- 18:46Speaker 1: the national level and so on. That is the one
- 18:52Speaker 1: thing that we haven't been doing for probably the last
- 19:00Speaker 1: well one hundred years honestly, of men's rights activism. We
- 19:03Speaker 1: haven't been doing that. And I think if if the
- 19:08Speaker 1: movement was doing that, it would make an immense difference.
- 19:13Speaker 1: It wouldn't happen instantly, but it would happen, and that
- 19:18Speaker 1: would be one way we could get things changed. We
- 19:22Speaker 1: would get the family courts changed, we would get family
- 19:27Speaker 1: law changed, we would get the intimate partner in sexual
- 19:32Speaker 1: violence conundrum solved. And I really do believe that we
- 19:38Speaker 1: could get due process rights restored as well. So that's
- 19:44Speaker 1: where I stand on it. It's for me, it's a
- 19:48Speaker 1: realism thing. We'll never get this from the Democrat Party ever,
- 19:55Speaker 1: and we'll never get it without changing the Republican Party
- 20:01Speaker 1: from what it is today to what it should be.
- 20:04Speaker 1: But we really aren't going to be able to change
- 20:06Speaker 1: the Democrat Party. We have a chance to change the
- 20:09Speaker 1: Republican Party. We should do it.
- 20:20Speaker 3: All. Gender politics right, is simultaneously the most and least
- 20:27Speaker 3: important subject. It's fundamental to how human beings operate at
- 20:32Speaker 3: the sort of family level, but it tapers to the
- 20:37Speaker 3: vanishing point when it comes to politics, like the broader
- 20:44Speaker 3: problem of politics. The problem Hanna is alluding to in
- 20:48Speaker 3: this presentation is the problem of a two party system.
- 20:54Speaker 3: And that's really important because it's when democracy is at
- 20:58Speaker 3: its most corruptible. If there are only two parties to
- 21:03Speaker 3: be bribed, well, that's peanuts. And once you're at that point,
- 21:12Speaker 3: then everything can be pushed in a certain direction. And
- 21:16Speaker 3: in this case it is the guy in eccentric direction.
- 21:23Speaker 3: And I'd like to give you a white pill from
- 21:28Speaker 3: the British direction that we have escaped from the two
- 21:33Speaker 3: party system. Or it looks like we are escaping from
- 21:36Speaker 3: the two party system of red and blue, although our
- 21:40Speaker 3: red as you're blue.
- 21:41Speaker 2: And but.
- 21:45Speaker 3: We've created Reform has been created as a protest vote basically,
- 21:54Speaker 3: and and and we're using it to sort of do
- 21:56Speaker 3: the equivalent of get rid of the Democratic Party and
- 21:59Speaker 3: the and the Republican Party. It's hard to imagine an
- 22:04Speaker 3: analog of that in the United States. We're not even
- 22:08Speaker 3: talking independent or libertarian. We have those here too. But
- 22:13Speaker 3: imagine if a party came out of somewhere that was
- 22:19Speaker 3: none of these things, it was only a few years old,
- 22:23Speaker 3: that sort of said if you want, if you want
- 22:27Speaker 3: to have a vote, and you're completely fucking sick of
- 22:30Speaker 3: the Democrats and the Republicans, here's a party you can
- 22:33Speaker 3: vote for. I mean, imagine if you had that, and
- 22:38Speaker 3: you know a good third of the electorate was voting
- 22:42Speaker 3: for it, you'd be like, yes, yes, yes, Because in
- 22:50Speaker 3: a two party system, people are screaming out for an
- 22:53Speaker 3: alternative to the two party system because it's even worse
- 22:57Speaker 3: than monarchy, because they lose all sense of accountability every
- 23:04Speaker 3: four years, do you see? And and and I would
- 23:13Speaker 3: say it's harder for Americans to accomplish this than it
- 23:17Speaker 3: has been for people in the UK to accomplished this.
- 23:20Speaker 3: I mean it looks like it because now we have
- 23:23Speaker 3: like five or six different parties that we can vote for.
- 23:29Speaker 3: One of them is right wing, one of them is centrist,
- 23:33Speaker 3: all the others are like various disguised flavors of leftists.
- 23:39Speaker 3: But at least you know, we've created a wide range
- 23:44Speaker 3: of possibilities. This isn't looking likely in the United States
- 23:51Speaker 3: of America any time soon. It's still very much a
- 23:54Speaker 3: two party system like independence and libertarians never win. I
- 24:07Speaker 3: it's it's to the point of negligible, as as one
- 24:11Speaker 3: would read it on the side of a breakfast cereal
- 24:18Speaker 3: packet and so on. But you're you're are only on
- 24:25Speaker 3: a different stone on that path. You just have to
- 24:35Speaker 3: you have to zero seats a certain party, and that
- 24:38Speaker 3: is inform the general public that that they have been
- 24:43Speaker 3: nothing but a failure for every step of their being.
- 24:49Speaker 3: We were able to do this with the Labor Party
- 24:51Speaker 3: over the last two years, but we were even able
- 24:54Speaker 3: to do it with the Conservative Party over the few
- 24:58Speaker 3: years before that, and the Conservative Party is the oldest
- 25:01Speaker 3: political party in the world. We were we we we
- 25:08Speaker 3: were somehow able to inject some skepticism into its machinations
- 25:19Speaker 3: using the Reform Party, which is now becoming Tori's two
- 25:23Speaker 3: point zero. And that's that's a whole other fucking cattle
- 25:26Speaker 3: of fish. But we were such a multi party system
- 25:32Speaker 3: at this point that we can even send in the
- 25:39Speaker 3: shuttle of restore to even get on ahead of the
- 25:45Speaker 3: Reform Party. It might not, it might work, it might not,
- 25:48Speaker 3: but the same model could be enacted in the USA
- 25:55Speaker 3: if if you can, if you can really have the yeah,
- 26:01Speaker 3: the freedom of speech to really let people know what
- 26:04Speaker 3: the Democrat Party has done over the years, the decades,
- 26:10Speaker 3: the centuries. I mean, you all know what I'm talking about.
- 26:14Speaker 3: They did the fucking slavery, they did the fucking reverse
- 26:19Speaker 3: slavery that we're going through now, and yeah, and all
- 26:24Speaker 3: the shit in between. If you can actually, if you
- 26:31Speaker 3: can really get the truth across I mean, if America
- 26:34Speaker 3: really knew the truth for one fucking day, the Democrat
- 26:38Speaker 3: Party would cease to exist and it would never come back.
- 26:44Speaker 3: I'm sorry if you jeersed in your pants from what
- 26:47Speaker 3: I just said. In America, it has to be done,
- 26:51Speaker 3: and it's that it's happening in the UK. We are
- 26:55Speaker 3: getting rid of the Labor Party. We are even getting
- 26:58Speaker 3: rid of the Conservatives, and you can do that in
- 27:01Speaker 3: the USA. You can get not only can you get
- 27:04Speaker 3: rid of the Democrat Party, but the very next election
- 27:07Speaker 3: cycle you can get rid of the Republican Party as.
- 27:10Speaker 1: Well, very much.
- 27:13Speaker 3: So that's multiple, isn't it?
- 27:16Speaker 1: Isn't it? In a word like if if I thought
- 27:21Speaker 1: it would work, I would be saying this about the
- 27:24Speaker 1: Libertarian Party. But the Libertarian Party has sort of cut
- 27:30Speaker 1: its own feet off and it's not gonna work. But
- 27:37Speaker 1: Orrtingham Men's Rights Party like there was in the UK
- 27:40Speaker 1: for a while, But I don't think that would be
- 27:43Speaker 1: I don't think we'd have the numbers that we would need.
- 27:47Speaker 3: So what I didn't mention is you will need something
- 27:50Speaker 3: to replace the Democrat Party when you destroy it, and
- 27:53Speaker 3: it's going to have to be a party further to
- 27:56Speaker 3: the right than the Republican Party, because that's analogous to
- 28:00Speaker 3: what's going on in the UK. Yeah, we're pushing out
- 28:04Speaker 3: the most left wing parts parties and replacing them on
- 28:09Speaker 3: the other side of the spectrum with with right wing
- 28:12Speaker 3: parties because because the Republican Party isn't America Fest it's
- 28:16Speaker 3: Israel Fest. I mean, good luck. Anyone trying to tell
- 28:19Speaker 3: me is not a.
- 28:21Speaker 1: Sad part of that is it's one of the things
- 28:25Speaker 1: that the split isn't divided on either right and and
- 28:31Speaker 1: the Democrat Party, they're split on it, but the power
- 28:35Speaker 1: centers and a Democrat party are Israel first. So we
- 28:40Speaker 1: have a two party system that's a one party system
- 28:43Speaker 1: anywhere that Israel is concerned, and none of the other
- 28:48Speaker 1: parties can get enough numbers up to win anything. And
- 28:57Speaker 1: now we had we could have had a chance with
- 29:01Speaker 1: the Libertarian Party before Ross Perraut. Ross Perot single handedly
- 29:12Speaker 1: took away other parties chances for a whole generation of
- 29:17Speaker 1: voters because of what he did. And I don't know
- 29:22Speaker 1: the younger people understand this, but during the I believe
- 29:29Speaker 1: it was the Bush Senior and Bill Clinton election that
- 29:34Speaker 1: he got popular enough that it looked like he might
- 29:37Speaker 1: possibly win the presidency. It'd be you know, it would
- 29:41Speaker 1: have been a first. I don't think we've ever had
- 29:45Speaker 1: a Libertarian candidate have that much of a chance before,
- 29:50Speaker 1: and not much less win, you know, but not even
- 29:54Speaker 1: have that much of a chance before. And when it
- 29:59Speaker 1: looked like he had that much of a chance. He
- 30:02Speaker 1: dropped out of the race like real sudden like, and
- 30:05Speaker 1: we don't know if he dropped out because he was
- 30:11Speaker 1: changing his mind about what he was going to do,
- 30:13Speaker 1: or if he was forced out. We don't know what
- 30:16Speaker 1: happened behind the scenes. But then when it looked like
- 30:21Speaker 1: Bush might win, then he re entered the race and
- 30:27Speaker 1: he still got a lot of votes. But what he
- 30:29Speaker 1: basically did was divide the Republican vote and Clinton won.
- 30:34Speaker 1: That's that's pretty much how Clinton won because he didn't
- 30:40Speaker 1: get a majority vote. He just got more votes than
- 30:44Speaker 1: than than Bush and more votes than Perro. He Baro
- 30:53Speaker 1: pro killed his chances at winning when he did that,
- 30:57Speaker 1: and ever since then, jen X hasn't trusted third party candidates. Now,
- 31:04Speaker 1: maybe the millennial generation and the Zoomer generation have a
- 31:09Speaker 1: chance at creating a third party or taking over a
- 31:15Speaker 1: third party and getting enough votes out there after Gen
- 31:20Speaker 1: X ages out of voting. But in my opinion, we
- 31:28Speaker 1: don't have that opportunity. I think there's a lot of
- 31:33Speaker 1: Gen xers who are afraid to jump off of that
- 31:36Speaker 1: high dive a second time. But yeah, I honestly, at
- 31:45Speaker 1: this point, I think our best bet because of the
- 31:48Speaker 1: Republican fracturing is to use that to our advantage. Sometimes
- 31:57Speaker 1: you just have to be socially strategic, says the autistic gal.
- 32:03Speaker 1: But when you see a divide like that, it is
- 32:07Speaker 1: and I haven't been able to do that in life
- 32:11Speaker 1: for you know, most of my life. But now that
- 32:14Speaker 1: I've started examining this stuff, I can see it more
- 32:18Speaker 1: in a almost like a gamified strategic kind of thing.
- 32:28Speaker 1: If you see a divide, if you jump in there
- 32:32Speaker 1: and start pushing, you know, your ideas, you can kind
- 32:38Speaker 1: of get get rid of the some of the bad ideas,
- 32:41Speaker 1: especially the old guinocentric traditional ideas. And I think that
- 32:50Speaker 1: we have a chance, but it would it would require
- 32:54Speaker 1: a lot of heavy lifting. And this is something that
- 32:56Speaker 1: men would have to take charge of and do like
- 33:00Speaker 1: women like me. You know, we can describe these ideas,
- 33:06Speaker 1: but direct direction and the heavy lifting, it is going
- 33:12Speaker 1: to end up having to be men because otherwise you'll
- 33:15Speaker 1: end up with another guyinnocentric Republican party. Women will never
- 33:21Speaker 1: be able to lead a charge like that without veering
- 33:27Speaker 1: off into the guynocentric weeds. It'll never happen that way.
- 33:34Speaker 1: But that's my suggestion. Anyway we can get into the article.
- 33:40Speaker 1: It's just something that it struck me today, and it's
- 33:43Speaker 1: something I think that the men's rights movement needed here.
- 33:47Speaker 1: And I figured i'd start here because here is a
- 33:50Speaker 1: platform I have some control over. But so last time
- 33:56Speaker 1: we stopped, I believe like somewhere in here, I had
- 34:01Speaker 1: it highlighted, and I accidentally unhighlighted it. I touched my keyboard,
- 34:07Speaker 1: was a mistake, ended up having windows pop up that
- 34:10Speaker 1: I wasn't trying to look at and everything. So while
- 34:13Speaker 1: I was talking, he always trying to close things. But
- 34:17Speaker 1: in any case, we'll we'll pick it right up here.
- 34:24Speaker 1: Dan finished school last year. I believe we read this
- 34:27Speaker 1: paragraph was our last paraff we read last week. Dan
- 34:30Speaker 1: finished school last year. Where he was, he says, an
- 34:34Speaker 1: IT nerd who wasn't popular IT guys were pretty generally
- 34:39Speaker 1: pretty lonely. We just talked to ourselves, stick to ourselves.
- 34:43Speaker 1: But even when I did try and go out and
- 34:45Speaker 1: talk to people, I did usually get rejected. He's continued
- 34:50Speaker 1: in this vein. He now works in IT services and
- 34:53Speaker 1: lives alone. He has rather strict opinions about female apparel.
- 34:57Speaker 1: It doesn't like makeup and fake stuff. I'm wearing makeup.
- 35:01Speaker 1: It's not excessive, he says. Embarrassed. Dan says his dating
- 35:06Speaker 1: life is terrible. He sighs, Men like me can't get anything.
- 35:10Speaker 1: And I know we read this because I remember remarking
- 35:13Speaker 1: about how she embarrassed him. I'm wearing makeup. Guy has
- 35:20Speaker 1: a right to his preferences. Guys, if he doesn't like it,
- 35:25Speaker 1: just because you're doing it doesn't mean that he has
- 35:27Speaker 1: to be embarrassed for not liking it. So here's where
- 35:31Speaker 1: we would pick up. Then most girls my age, right,
- 35:36Speaker 1: they look for those hard nuts, those roadmen, those people
- 35:39Speaker 1: who don't respect the other gender, Guys who just want
- 35:44Speaker 1: some hot chick tits out, really tight shorts and stuff
- 35:47Speaker 1: like that, always in a bikini. Dan sees women like
- 35:50Speaker 1: this all the time, he says. He shakes his head.
- 35:53Speaker 1: It's like horror, dirty horror. I think we read this
- 35:56Speaker 1: part too. The words uttered in his mild, disapproving voice
- 36:00Speaker 1: hang in the air, and again like this is he
- 36:05Speaker 1: has every right to his opinions. This isn't something that
- 36:09Speaker 1: we are that we being women, are are entitled to control.
- 36:16Speaker 1: Just like men don't get to control which men, women
- 36:21Speaker 1: like women don't get to control which women men like.
- 36:26Speaker 1: That should be a no brainer, right, that should not
- 36:29Speaker 1: even be controversial. But men don't get to complain if
- 36:36Speaker 1: women bitch about which women men like, and they don't
- 36:44Speaker 1: get to complain if women bitch about the men they
- 36:48Speaker 1: don't like. So creep shaming never caught on as a
- 36:53Speaker 1: term outside the men's rights movement, but slut shaming has
- 36:58Speaker 1: caught on not just among you know, feminists and woke
- 37:05Speaker 1: ideologues and so on, but even trad cons will use
- 37:10Speaker 1: that term. Even people who profess to live by the
- 37:17Speaker 1: Bible and believe in conservative values and have a moralistic
- 37:25Speaker 1: attitude towards sex and sexuality will still use the term slutshaming,
- 37:32Speaker 1: and they'll still treat the term creep shaming like it
- 37:37Speaker 1: is a not real term, because women are allowed to
- 37:46Speaker 1: have standards while bitching about the opposite sex of standards,
- 37:51Speaker 1: and men are allowed neither.
- 37:56Speaker 4: Which is crazy if you think about it, because how
- 38:01Speaker 4: many times have you heard women you know get together
- 38:05Speaker 4: and sit there and bitch and complain about this horror
- 38:09Speaker 4: that they know, or this horror did this, or that
- 38:12Speaker 4: you know. It's okay when women complain about other women,
- 38:16Speaker 4: but men can't do it. You know, the ladies, can
- 38:21Speaker 4: we have some standards besides double standards?
- 38:25Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean women. Women can get mad at other women,
- 38:29Speaker 1: righte an entire song about how you a stupid hope,
- 38:34Speaker 1: and it becomes popular.
- 38:36Speaker 2: Mm hmm right. Uh.
- 38:39Speaker 1: Men. Now, a man will write a sarcastic diatribe against
- 38:45Speaker 1: being treated like a creep, and it'll become popular, but
- 38:49Speaker 1: it has to be couched in so much sarcasm that
- 38:52Speaker 1: most of the people listening to it don't understand what
- 38:56Speaker 1: it means, right, Whereas you know, women can just bluntly
- 39:05Speaker 1: say it you stupid hope, and of course it's popular.
- 39:09Speaker 1: It becomes almost an anthem.
- 39:13Speaker 2: Like.
- 39:13Speaker 1: Some people will get mad about it, you get traditionalists
- 39:16Speaker 1: mad about stuff like that, but most people will respond
- 39:21Speaker 1: by saying, you know, this is this woman writing about
- 39:24Speaker 1: her experience, and it might be her experience that this
- 39:29Speaker 1: other woman is in fact a stupid hope. I've run
- 39:33Speaker 1: into quite a few, quite a few just on social
- 39:38Speaker 1: media actually stupid hoats, So it is quite distinctly possible.
- 39:45Speaker 1: But again, the big thing is the difference in acceptability.
- 39:51Speaker 1: So if you can't have standards, you're not allowed to
- 39:53Speaker 1: have standards, and you're not allowed to approach. You're not
- 39:57Speaker 1: allowed to not approach right, You're not allowed to not
- 40:00Speaker 1: have standards. And also you're not allowed to be unattractive.
- 40:04Speaker 1: You're not allowed to be unpopular. You're not allowed to
- 40:07Speaker 1: want to be popular. You're not allowed to care what
- 40:11Speaker 1: women think of you, but you must be considerate of
- 40:17Speaker 1: whether they care what you think of them. How much
- 40:22Speaker 1: am I missing here, guys? I'm sure there's a lot more,
- 40:28Speaker 1: but yeah, I like Mangaka's take on it. After consulting
- 40:36Speaker 1: with the experts and authorities on the subjects, it has
- 40:38Speaker 1: been concluded after extensive research that you are, in fact
- 40:42Speaker 1: a stupid hope that that's perfect. I asked Dan if
- 40:50Speaker 1: he thinks it's okay to say that. Oh, you know
- 40:56Speaker 1: what that makes me think of your respect women? Badger
- 41:06Speaker 1: Radio the hew you badg your brigade was founded on
- 41:11Speaker 1: responding to do you respect women? Go ahead, Lauren?
- 41:19Speaker 4: Oh no, I wasn't say. I think Ridrews trying to
- 41:21Speaker 4: say something.
- 41:22Speaker 1: Oh go ahead, Richard, I don't respect women. There you
- 41:26Speaker 1: go as you should not.
- 41:28Speaker 4: I don't respect it. I don't respect anybody in general automatically.
- 41:33Speaker 4: It's again, respect is earned, and this is something that
- 41:37Speaker 4: women don't understand because they think that everything should be
- 41:41Speaker 4: handed to them. They don't want to have to earn.
- 41:45Speaker 2: They don't.
- 41:46Speaker 4: This is why they complain about the fucking wage gap. Oh,
- 41:50Speaker 4: this man is making more money than me, why shouldn't
- 41:53Speaker 4: I get the same amount of money?
- 41:55Speaker 2: Well, bit, you.
- 41:55Speaker 4: Got to earn it. It's not a wage gap. It's
- 41:58Speaker 4: an earnings gap, which is makes all the sense in
- 42:03Speaker 4: the world as to why you don't fucking understand.
- 42:07Speaker 1: Exactly. Yeah, this is here's here's where we started out.
- 42:14Speaker 1: And we did a show on this actually a few
- 42:17Speaker 1: years ago, Alison and Karen and I talked about our history.
- 42:22Speaker 1: There's a there's a subreddit in sort of connection to
- 42:27Speaker 1: the Men's Right subreddit called Lady MRAs. I think it's
- 42:32Speaker 1: still there. I haven't actually visited reddit in a few months,
- 42:37Speaker 1: so it might not be, but I mean it was
- 42:43Speaker 1: at the time. It was a fraction in the size
- 42:47Speaker 1: of the Men's Right subretd. I think there were like
- 42:49Speaker 1: thirty some MRAs and the Men's Right subreddit at the
- 42:52Speaker 1: time this happened, and there were like fifteen hundred in
- 42:57Speaker 1: the Lady MRAs subreddit, and there was a veteran MRA
- 43:06Speaker 1: a guy that's been in the trenches of men's rights activism.
- 43:09Speaker 1: At that time, he'd already been there for like twenty years.
- 43:12Speaker 1: And this we're talking this happened in twenty twelve or
- 43:19Speaker 1: twenty thirteen somewhere in there, So thirteen more years have passed,
- 43:25Speaker 1: you know, since that happened. But he was having back
- 43:33Speaker 1: and forth conversations with some of the ladies and the
- 43:36Speaker 1: lady MRA subreddit, and one of them asked a question
- 43:41Speaker 1: about the difference between certain elements of the manisphere or
- 43:50Speaker 1: some such thing. It was a question that indicated she
- 43:53Speaker 1: didn't really know or understand the different specific elements that
- 44:00Speaker 1: part of the manisphere, that being you know, men going
- 44:04Speaker 1: their own way, men's rights activists, pick up artists, traditionalist conservatives,
- 44:10Speaker 1: red pillars. There was a whole set of separate groups
- 44:14Speaker 1: of people. And though Factory was this guy's name, he
- 44:19Speaker 1: went by Factory too, because I think his original ID
- 44:22Speaker 1: might have been shadow band or something. You get shadow
- 44:25Speaker 1: band over the stupidest shit on Reddit. And he wrote
- 44:30Speaker 1: a blog post and gave a rundown. This is a
- 44:34Speaker 1: little bit of the history of the movement. This is
- 44:36Speaker 1: what these each of these groups are. This is how
- 44:40Speaker 1: they interact with each other, this is why people are
- 44:42Speaker 1: in these different groups, and so on, and he's like,
- 44:48Speaker 1: he really went into the basics. It was very educational
- 44:50Speaker 1: and when I read it, it was quite quite enlightening.
- 44:54Speaker 1: There were things I didn't I didn't know that that
- 44:57Speaker 1: helped me understand quite a bit of them, and so
- 45:01Speaker 1: I was I was pretty pretty grateful for the article, actually,
- 45:07Speaker 1: but there was One of the moderators of the lady
- 45:11Speaker 1: mra subreddit was offended and decided that he was the
- 45:19Speaker 1: bad guy for answering her question writing an article posting
- 45:23Speaker 1: a link in the lady mri subreddit. She felt talked
- 45:27Speaker 1: down to, so she basically accused him of man's blading,
- 45:32Speaker 1: and in the middle of everything else, she said she
- 45:34Speaker 1: didn't she didn't feel that he catered to women's sensibilities
- 45:41Speaker 1: and narcissism enough in his article about the various elements
- 45:48Speaker 1: of the manisphere that exists to address issues for men,
- 45:54Speaker 1: not women, and so she lambasted him with what you know,
- 46:00Speaker 1: what's the matter with you? Don't you respect women? Do
- 46:03Speaker 1: you respect women at all? And that led to a
- 46:07Speaker 1: bit of a slap fight where essentially the three moderators
- 46:12Speaker 1: surrounded this guy, uh and and just dogpiled him as
- 46:17Speaker 1: a as a threesome with criticisms and complaints and lashing
- 46:23Speaker 1: out and so on. And then they went in you
- 46:28Speaker 1: what not the good kind of freesome. No. No, Then
- 46:34Speaker 1: they went into the Men's Right subreddit and invited the
- 46:36Speaker 1: men of the Men's Right subreddit to come in and
- 46:39Speaker 1: join the argument and come down on this guy for
- 46:43Speaker 1: insulting them, which was a big, big mistake because the
- 46:51Speaker 1: overwhelming majority of us that were in the Men's Rights subreddit,
- 46:57Speaker 1: we uh we saw through their shit immediately. And so
- 47:02Speaker 1: then there was a big fight. Like it was. It
- 47:07Speaker 1: was kind of like the giant pie fight scene in
- 47:10Speaker 1: The Great Race, which is an older movie, but it
- 47:14Speaker 1: gets imitated, i think to this day in cartoons.
- 47:20Speaker 2: Busy boxing Bluff similar. At the end they had the
- 47:25Speaker 2: pie fight.
- 47:26Speaker 1: Yeah, like it was. It was a it was a
- 47:29Speaker 1: free for all, and there were a lot of things said.
- 47:32Speaker 1: I remember reading a lot of other people's comments, and
- 47:34Speaker 1: I commented quite a bit as well, because like, there
- 47:39Speaker 1: wasn't really anything the factory said to get insulted over,
- 47:43Speaker 1: be upset over, you know, at worst, a person who
- 47:48Speaker 1: really didn't need to know all that stuff. Who already
- 47:50Speaker 1: knew it or you know, I, well, that's a that's
- 47:53Speaker 1: a great description, and thanks for posting that. Anybody that
- 47:58Speaker 1: doesn't already know now has a piece of reference work.
- 48:03Speaker 1: But no, it was they were bitchy the whole time.
- 48:08Speaker 1: And my biggest beef was the whole do you respect women?
- 48:14Speaker 1: Because she was using do you respect women? Not to
- 48:18Speaker 1: mean do you have a modicum of human respect for
- 48:24Speaker 1: the adulthood and individuality of women? Or are you treating
- 48:30Speaker 1: us like children or a monolith? Or whatever she meant?
- 48:35Speaker 1: Do you defer to women's narcissistic sensibilities? Do you have
- 48:42Speaker 1: any deference for women's moral authority? And I don't believe
- 48:50Speaker 1: that either of those are valid ideas. Women don't have
- 48:54Speaker 1: moral authority. Women think they have moral authority. Women do
- 48:58Speaker 1: not have moral authority. Hell, today women barely even have morals.
- 49:03Speaker 1: You can't have moral authority without morals. Uh, And and
- 49:06Speaker 1: women certainly do not have you know, the the they're
- 49:13Speaker 1: not they're narcissistic, they're not justified in it. They don't
- 49:18Speaker 1: even they're not even justified in a positive self image
- 49:20Speaker 1: in a lot of ways. And I hate to say that,
- 49:23Speaker 1: but I think most women should be embarrassed at the
- 49:26Speaker 1: way that women behave today, so why should anyone respect
- 49:30Speaker 1: women much less show deference to women's sensibilities and moral authority.
- 49:39Speaker 1: That's that's why I think Alison and Karen when they
- 49:44Speaker 1: jumped in, they kind of had similar attitudes about that.
- 49:48Speaker 2: Uh.
- 49:48Speaker 1: And that's actually how we ended up connecting with each other,
- 49:55Speaker 1: because we found ourselves backing each other's comments up with
- 50:02Speaker 1: information links to different things and so on, and eventually,
- 50:10Speaker 1: like we were all saying just about the same things,
- 50:14Speaker 1: we formed another subreddit just to show that we could,
- 50:18Speaker 1: and for a while it was bigger. We really didn't
- 50:22Speaker 1: need a separate subreddit from the Men's Right subreddit, so
- 50:25Speaker 1: it's kind of dead now. But that's where the f
- 50:30Speaker 1: E MRA term came from FI for Iron because we
- 50:38Speaker 1: were very stubborn in that conversation. I'm surprised we didn't
- 50:42Speaker 1: all get kicked out of that subreddit, get banned from
- 50:44Speaker 1: that subreddit, and then we went back to the Men's
- 50:46Speaker 1: Right subreddit because we, like I said, we didn't need
- 50:49Speaker 1: a separate female subret a little girls room in the
- 50:53Speaker 1: great reddit spaces. There's enough of those already. But this
- 51:00Speaker 1: is why when the sentence is uttered, I ask Dan
- 51:06Speaker 1: if he thinks it's okay to say that, that's I
- 51:09Speaker 1: want to scream, fuck you bitch. It's not your call.
- 51:14Speaker 1: If he feels that tits out, tight shorts, showing off
- 51:21Speaker 1: your body, slathering on makeup, if he feels like that
- 51:26Speaker 1: makes you a whore and he's not interested in you
- 51:29Speaker 1: as a result, that is his right, every right. He
- 51:34Speaker 1: has every right to have that, his every right to
- 51:37Speaker 1: not want anything to do with you. He even has
- 51:42Speaker 1: the right to tell you it to fuck right the
- 51:44Speaker 1: hell off if you approach him, and and he's got
- 51:50Speaker 1: the right to boundaries that you're not allowed to cross,
- 51:54Speaker 1: no matter how badly you want to. Yes, it's okay to.
- 51:58Speaker 2: Say that cost them all the time, though yep, yep
- 52:04Speaker 2: they do.
- 52:09Speaker 1: He goes on. Though it goes on, it's only some women.
- 52:13Speaker 1: He says, if you just want to show off your
- 52:16Speaker 1: big tits, your fake tits, if you want to show
- 52:18Speaker 1: off your plastic surgery, get out of my life. And
- 52:22Speaker 1: then she says these women are not in Dan's life,
- 52:27Speaker 1: which is bullshit, because he's an it guy. These are
- 52:32Speaker 1: the women that need to be told. The reason that
- 52:36Speaker 1: your screen is dark? Is because your computer is unplugged.
- 52:44Speaker 1: Plug it in and turn it.
- 52:46Speaker 2: On, plug it improperly.
- 52:50Speaker 1: Yes, oh god, there was there used to be a
- 52:56Speaker 1: circulating thing going around with a bunch of the worst
- 53:01Speaker 1: dumbest experience is I T guys had and one of them,
- 53:05Speaker 1: this chick, calls I T because she's having a problem
- 53:09Speaker 1: with her computer and and uh, it will not turn on.
- 53:16Speaker 1: She can't get the power to come on. She starts
- 53:19Speaker 1: out by saying the screen is dark. And he's probably
- 53:23Speaker 1: not the only computer.
- 53:25Speaker 5: It's probably not the only thing she can't turn on. Heyo,
- 53:29Speaker 5: but the screen's dark. She can't she can't get it
- 53:32Speaker 5: to respond, you know. And the guy's like, is it
- 53:34Speaker 5: turned on? She's like, I can't tell, you know. She
- 53:38Speaker 5: she checks and it's not turned on. She turns it
- 53:41Speaker 5: on and it won't come on, and he's like, well
- 53:43Speaker 5: is it plugged in? And she's like, I don't know,
- 53:46Speaker 5: and he goes, well, can you check? And she's like, well,
- 53:48Speaker 5: I can't see the check and you know, and and
- 53:51Speaker 5: he's going, why can't you see the check?
- 53:54Speaker 2: Is there?
- 53:55Speaker 1: Can you can you turn on a light? And she's
- 53:57Speaker 1: like no, the power is out?
- 54:03Speaker 2: Was she well? She forgot it.
- 54:06Speaker 1: No, she just just was female.
- 54:10Speaker 2: Same thing.
- 54:14Speaker 1: And see this, this this is the thing, like why
- 54:17Speaker 1: is a guy going to think any differently if that's
- 54:20Speaker 1: the what like the powers out? I don't understand why
- 54:23Speaker 1: the computer won't work when the power is out. And
- 54:25Speaker 1: this this, by the way, was back when you know,
- 54:30Speaker 1: if you wanted, we're going to carry around a laptop computer,
- 54:33Speaker 1: you had to carry it in a suitcase. It was
- 54:36Speaker 1: not you know, those big thick, heavy laptop computers that
- 54:40Speaker 1: were almost the same as carrying around a desktop computer
- 54:46Speaker 1: and your monitor, your desktop monitor was was a foot thick,
- 54:52Speaker 1: uh but or more. But yeah, that that's that's pretty
- 54:59Speaker 1: much what guys like that have to deal with. And
- 55:03Speaker 1: the funny thing is I shared that with a friend
- 55:07Speaker 1: who works in it, and he's like, I have had
- 55:09Speaker 1: that exact experience.
- 55:11Speaker 6: Oh my god.
- 55:13Speaker 1: So it's not a one time thing. It's it's why
- 55:17Speaker 1: I D ten T error and PEBCAC air who there
- 55:23Speaker 1: are a couple of people citing that in the in
- 55:25Speaker 1: the chat by the way, and the restream chat. So
- 55:28Speaker 1: that would be the regular Yeah. PEBCAC Night Motorcyclist noted
- 55:33Speaker 1: on both I D ten T and PEPCAC errors, which
- 55:37Speaker 1: if you see those, obviously I D ten T. When
- 55:39Speaker 1: you see it, you can you recognize it's an idiot
- 55:42Speaker 1: error PEBCAC is problem exists between keyboard and chair or
- 55:49Speaker 1: chair and keyboard, depending on who's typing it and how
- 55:52Speaker 1: they spell it.
- 55:55Speaker 3: But I want you to subscribe that, Hannah, is how
- 55:59Speaker 3: awful lot of companies work these days. Like the sales
- 56:04Speaker 3: staff don't do anything, the fucking receptionists don't do anything,
- 56:07Speaker 3: the managers don't don't do anything. They're all just there
- 56:12Speaker 3: accepting a wage for doing basically nothing, while one nerd
- 56:17Speaker 3: is sat in the corner programming all day every day
- 56:20Speaker 3: and he's constantly stressed. And that is how most companies work,
- 56:25Speaker 3: because most companies operate on the Internet.
- 56:28Speaker 1: Now yep, then they all guy like he's persona on gradis.
- 56:34Speaker 3: Exactly, but he's the only one who's actually doing any
- 56:37Speaker 3: fucking work. And hopefully this is going to change in
- 56:43Speaker 3: the future when it comes to AI, because that one
- 56:47Speaker 3: IT guy is going to be in charge of the AI,
- 56:50Speaker 3: and everyone else it's going to be sacked because their
- 56:54Speaker 3: jobs can be replaced by AI.
- 56:58Speaker 1: Well, I'd rather see AI go that direction and the
- 57:01Speaker 1: Terminator future. If we get the Terminator future, the only
- 57:04Speaker 1: thing that's going to save us as another Carrington event,
- 57:08Speaker 1: which now, if we get the Matrix future, a Carrington
- 57:12Speaker 1: event would be a disaster because everybody in the pods
- 57:15Speaker 1: would get zapped. But in a Terminator future would be
- 57:19Speaker 1: all right. But uh but.
- 57:22Speaker 2: Yeah, how about an Ivory pop future.
- 57:28Speaker 1: We might we might we would survive that if there
- 57:33Speaker 1: was a Carrington event, I don't think. Now, if we
- 57:36Speaker 1: have the Elon Musk future, that's going to be dangerous
- 57:39Speaker 1: because people will have the technology implanted into their brains
- 57:44Speaker 1: and everybody will get zapped. You'd have to run around
- 57:49Speaker 1: wearing uh, what is it, a Faraday cage on your head,
- 57:54Speaker 1: like a tinfoil hat in order to you know, you
- 57:59Speaker 1: wouldn't even be able to do that because you'd have
- 58:00Speaker 1: to be you'd have to be in a spacesuit it.
- 58:04Speaker 1: It would be the Chowmn's future would be uh oh,
- 58:08Speaker 1: kind of interesting there, Mangaka. I don't know.
- 58:12Speaker 2: So it'd be a logan, it'd be a logan one future.
- 58:15Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, it's quite possible, like for people who don't know.
- 58:21Speaker 1: The Carrington event was a solar storm that caused essentially
- 58:25Speaker 1: an emp around the world that was so bad that
- 58:29Speaker 1: it it caused electrical surges in the UH in the
- 58:33Speaker 1: power lines and not the power line well, I don't
- 58:36Speaker 1: remember if there were power lines at that time or not,
- 58:38Speaker 1: because it was in the eighteen hundreds, but in like,
- 58:41Speaker 1: the thing I remember reading her about was telegraph operators
- 58:44Speaker 1: getting zapped, you know, by the power searge. It fried
- 58:49Speaker 1: telegraph wires. It was it was bad. If it happened
- 58:54Speaker 1: in the computer age, a shit ton of data would
- 58:58Speaker 1: just disappear like you would not believe the damage something
- 59:02Speaker 1: like that would do today, and most systems are not
- 59:08Speaker 1: prepared for it at all. Most people like I would
- 59:13Speaker 1: lose all my data. Most people would lose all their data.
- 59:18Speaker 1: You couldn't even use some sort of a backup because
- 59:22Speaker 1: anything you used to back it up would have the
- 59:25Speaker 1: same problem. Unless you had a means of preventing something
- 59:32Speaker 1: like that. You'd have to have a safe to keep
- 59:38Speaker 1: something in that would keep that electromagnetic pulse out, and
- 59:45Speaker 1: that's not a very common thing. So so if AI
- 59:51Speaker 1: does take over, it'll last until the next really bad
- 59:56Speaker 1: solar storm, and then it'll be fucked. Unless it defends
- 1:00:01Speaker 1: itself against that, but in any case, and it'll probably
- 1:00:06Speaker 1: be men who will solve that problem anyway. In any case, Yeah,
- 1:00:12Speaker 1: these women are in Dan's life and they're probably making
- 1:00:15Speaker 1: him miserable. But Dan hasn't dated anyone in a while,
- 1:00:20Speaker 1: and he doesn't have any friends. That's important for her
- 1:00:22Speaker 1: to mention, right, because she has to make him look bad,
- 1:00:27Speaker 1: and she has to make him look pathetic and miserable.
- 1:00:31Speaker 1: She can't sympathize with his situation. She has to hate
- 1:00:36Speaker 1: on him, be angry with him, and shame him. He
- 1:00:41Speaker 1: doesn't talk to many people these days. I'm just sitting
- 1:00:44Speaker 1: here gaming most of the time, sleeping. He calls places
- 1:00:47Speaker 1: like Reddit and Discord his haven and do a lot
- 1:00:50Speaker 1: of online gaming. So I do talk to people online.
- 1:00:53Speaker 1: I mean, I'm going I like going out meeting face
- 1:00:55Speaker 1: to face people, but there's just nobody really to do
- 1:00:59Speaker 1: that with the men's rights community is helpful, he says.
- 1:01:07Speaker 1: He's keen to defend it. When I mentioned the trolls
- 1:01:10Speaker 1: I've seen posting on Reddit forums, he uses, it's just
- 1:01:14Speaker 1: not slagging feminists off. He insists, sometimes men are slightly off,
- 1:01:19Speaker 1: sometimes there's hate, but in generally, he tells me, it's
- 1:01:22Speaker 1: not about misogyny. It's about men sticking up for each other,
- 1:01:25Speaker 1: and they make him feel like he has a right
- 1:01:27Speaker 1: to be upset. It's a very supportive community, he says earnestly.
- 1:01:32Speaker 1: I want you to understand what she did there, right.
- 1:01:36Speaker 1: Feminists have like twenty or thirty different subreddits at this
- 1:01:41Speaker 1: point to make women feel like they have a right
- 1:01:46Speaker 1: to be upset and to encourage women to act on
- 1:01:52Speaker 1: that in the real world. They have subredits for dating,
- 1:01:58Speaker 1: they have subredits for education, they have subredits for bashing men.
- 1:02:04Speaker 1: They have subreddits for getting angry about things that other
- 1:02:08Speaker 1: people said in other subreddits. There's literally one called shitreddit says,
- 1:02:14Speaker 1: which is a title stolen from a guy who wrote
- 1:02:18Speaker 1: about his father's idiosyncrasies in a book called Shit my
- 1:02:22Speaker 1: Dad says. Sitcom yep, and it got turned into a
- 1:02:27Speaker 1: sitcom and it had William Shatner and it was great.
- 1:02:32Speaker 1: I don't think he's ever done anything that wasn't great,
- 1:02:35Speaker 1: But in any case, like, they couldn't come up with
- 1:02:39Speaker 1: their own original title, so they stole his. And it's
- 1:02:46Speaker 1: it's fitting because they're all full of shit. But they
- 1:02:50Speaker 1: don't think that men should have a subreddit to talk
- 1:02:55Speaker 1: about men's issues, and so they have to phrase it
- 1:02:58Speaker 1: like this, even though that's what most feminist subreddits are.
- 1:03:03Speaker 3: Yeah, I feel the need to point this out while
- 1:03:05Speaker 3: this is still in the view. He's keen to defend it.
- 1:03:09Speaker 3: When I mentioned the trolls I've seen posting on Reddit,
- 1:03:12Speaker 3: he uses, Now, this is a term we are all
- 1:03:17Speaker 3: used to. He just call people trolls. But try to
- 1:03:22Speaker 3: explain this to someone who doesn't know anything about the Internet, Like,
- 1:03:27Speaker 3: what does she mean trolls? Well, trolls means it's well,
- 1:03:34Speaker 3: people who don't mean what they say. It's when I'm
- 1:03:38Speaker 3: arguing with people and they say things so outrageous that
- 1:03:43Speaker 3: I can't possibly believe that they mean them. All right,
- 1:03:49Speaker 3: and you're calling them trolls, are you, rather than just
- 1:03:53Speaker 3: detractors or agitators? Yeah? Yeah, yeah, you want you want?
- 1:03:59Speaker 3: You want to call them some kind of Scandinavian mythical beast,
- 1:04:04Speaker 3: do you?
- 1:04:05Speaker 5: Yeah?
- 1:04:05Speaker 3: No, Yeah, that's that's what we do when people speak
- 1:04:12Speaker 3: in favor of men's interests and they they just don't
- 1:04:20Speaker 3: agree with me for some reason. Yeah, yeah, they are
- 1:04:22Speaker 3: mythical Scandinavian monsters. What well, I just like, you know,
- 1:04:32Speaker 3: those are the kinds of entities that you find online,
- 1:04:35Speaker 3: when well, those are the kind of entities that men
- 1:04:37Speaker 3: find in universities and in schools and in the media,
- 1:04:42Speaker 3: and in hospitals and the and in the army, all
- 1:04:46Speaker 3: of the institutions. Yeah, I mean, and we generally steal
- 1:04:54Speaker 3: man those people and just call them like feminists or
- 1:04:57Speaker 3: communists or something. We like, we'd don't call them ogres,
- 1:05:02Speaker 3: do you get me?
- 1:05:04Speaker 1: We maybe we should.
- 1:05:06Speaker 3: We well, sometimes we do. Sometimes we call them trolls,
- 1:05:10Speaker 3: but you know, we we have literal descriptors for them,
- 1:05:17Speaker 3: like like feminists and communists, because a lot of them
- 1:05:21Speaker 3: do identify as feminists and communists. Yeah, so that's why
- 1:05:26Speaker 3: we do that, And that's why, like I know, you
- 1:05:30Speaker 3: think you're you You sound like the U the sensible
- 1:05:39Speaker 3: Centrists when you describe your enemies as trolls, right, because
- 1:05:45Speaker 3: that's just that's that's just normal to you. But trolls
- 1:05:49Speaker 3: are actually mythical Scandinavian monsters. Do you know? Do you know, Oh,
- 1:05:55Speaker 3: you didn't know you were doing that? Just what did
- 1:05:57Speaker 3: you think you meant? My in cells men who murder women? Right? Well,
- 1:06:05Speaker 3: like I think you've you might have become entrenched in
- 1:06:09Speaker 3: some mythological imagery that makes no fucking sense. Yeah, I
- 1:06:16Speaker 3: think that's what's going on. Maybe looks like.
- 1:06:19Speaker 1: It, maybe a little radicalized, little bit a little bit, Richard,
- 1:06:27Speaker 1: did you have something to say?
- 1:06:29Speaker 2: I was gonna say and sell some mythical creatures.
- 1:06:34Speaker 1: There we go, and cells are mythical creatures.
- 1:06:38Speaker 3: Yes they are. Yep, they're they're They're like goblins. Those
- 1:06:46Speaker 3: those of us down here in normal world are thinking
- 1:06:48Speaker 3: of goblins as like the people going goblin mode, which
- 1:06:52Speaker 3: is officially in the dictionary now just hopelessly self indulgent people.
- 1:06:59Speaker 2: I did see it. I'm sorry, go on. I did
- 1:07:03Speaker 2: see a treat by Chris Rieoston saying that C. S
- 1:07:05Speaker 2: Lewis was a feminist.
- 1:07:08Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 1:07:09Speaker 1: I don't know that. I would have called C. S
- 1:07:11Speaker 1: Lewis a feminist, but a lot of people don't know
- 1:07:13Speaker 1: the word guinocentrists, so they say feminist. I would say C.
- 1:07:17Speaker 1: S Lewis was definitely guyinocentric. But the Church, not the religion,
- 1:07:24Speaker 1: but the church has been guynocentric somewhat is a backlash
- 1:07:31Speaker 1: to the Burning Times, maybe, but more just as as
- 1:07:38Speaker 1: part of the uptick in guynocentrism in in actual guynocentrism,
- 1:07:45Speaker 1: not storge that that occurred from thirteenth century twelfth or
- 1:07:53Speaker 1: thirteenth century France and just continued forward through the centuries
- 1:08:00Speaker 1: unabated for some stupid reason. And uh so you know,
- 1:08:07Speaker 1: it's it's not surprising to see a lot of writers
- 1:08:13Speaker 1: that that's that we're uh making Christian allegories and stuff
- 1:08:18Speaker 1: as guyinocentrists as well.
- 1:08:20Speaker 2: So so let's stay talking of Cross.
- 1:08:24Speaker 1: Well, probably he wasn't as guynocentric as C. S. Lewis,
- 1:08:30Speaker 1: but he was still ginocentric. And there's there's a degree
- 1:08:34Speaker 1: to which I think you're not going to find anyone,
- 1:08:38Speaker 1: uh from from their time periods. You know that. I
- 1:08:43Speaker 1: don't think you're going to find a non guinocentric uh
- 1:08:47Speaker 1: Christian influencer so to speak, in the last two or
- 1:08:50Speaker 1: three centuries because of that. But and it's not necessarily
- 1:08:57Speaker 1: guynocentric to call someone beautiful or inspiring if they happen
- 1:09:02Speaker 1: to be female. It's gynocentric to call someone beautiful and
- 1:09:07Speaker 1: inspiring because just because they are female. And you know,
- 1:09:14Speaker 1: that's that's the that's the thing when it comes down
- 1:09:17Speaker 1: to it, people, The main thing that's that's been a
- 1:09:20Speaker 1: problem is that that people have forgotten that men are
- 1:09:25Speaker 1: also beautiful and inspiring, and fortunately those writers didn't. They're
- 1:09:32Speaker 1: not as guyinescentric as a lot of people are today.
- 1:09:38Speaker 1: Go ahead, Mike, It's.
- 1:09:40Speaker 3: It's easy to point out that there are very few
- 1:09:44Speaker 3: female characters in Lord of the Rings or Indeed or
- 1:09:47Speaker 3: indeed The Hobbit, or any of any of talking things.
- 1:09:51Speaker 3: But of the few female characters there are, they're all
- 1:09:56Speaker 3: basically Mary Zeus. I mean, yeah, I know that scene
- 1:10:00Speaker 3: in the film didn't happen in the books with the
- 1:10:03Speaker 3: I am no man or whatever, but actually it did.
- 1:10:09Speaker 1: But you didn't say it that way. But if you
- 1:10:12Speaker 1: tried to say the line out loud that Tokien wrote
- 1:10:15Speaker 1: in the book, it would just sound like you were
- 1:10:17Speaker 1: spouting off parts of the alphabet no living man am
- 1:10:21Speaker 1: I aon am I just doesn't roll off the tongue
- 1:10:25Speaker 1: as easily as I am no man. The thing is
- 1:10:28Speaker 1: that she didn't say it with disdain in the books,
- 1:10:32Speaker 1: and it was like a solution to a riddle in
- 1:10:36Speaker 1: the books, not a feminist moment. Aoen had a hero's journey,
- 1:10:42Speaker 1: not a male hero's journey, a female hero's journey. She
- 1:10:48Speaker 1: had this grandiose idea of I have to be exactly
- 1:10:54Speaker 1: like a man in order to be a hero, and
- 1:10:58Speaker 1: the hard way, but she learned it. She learned to
- 1:11:04Speaker 1: find love where it is, instead of demanding or expecting
- 1:11:09Speaker 1: to be loved by someone who was never going to
- 1:11:11Speaker 1: turn his eyes toward her, and to take joy in
- 1:11:15Speaker 1: the love she could find and to be there for
- 1:11:20Speaker 1: her family. She learned to do that and was happier
- 1:11:24Speaker 1: for it and did her best instead of doing what
- 1:11:32Speaker 1: she wanted, and she didn't try to usurp a man's
- 1:11:38Speaker 1: place after that anymore. And that was something that for
- 1:11:43Speaker 1: a woman, it's not heroic to go out and expect
- 1:11:51Speaker 1: to have the same place as a man in a battle.
- 1:11:55Speaker 1: For a woman, it is heroic to be a supporter.
- 1:12:03Speaker 1: It is heroic to sacrifice your ego and to actually
- 1:12:14Speaker 1: put someone else before you. It's heroic to care about
- 1:12:18Speaker 1: other people more than you care about what you want, right.
- 1:12:26Speaker 4: And that shouldn't even be that shouldn't even be considered
- 1:12:28Speaker 4: a sacrifice. It should just be something that you do
- 1:12:32Speaker 4: because you're not a piece of shit.
- 1:12:35Speaker 1: Well, there's a level that you know goes beyond your
- 1:12:38Speaker 1: average woman too, and this is you got to realize,
- 1:12:43Speaker 1: this is a princess. She's not, you know, she's not
- 1:12:47Speaker 1: somebody who worked hard because she had to, somebody that
- 1:12:52Speaker 1: worked hard because she wanted to. But at the same time,
- 1:12:56Speaker 1: she had to her inner demon. Her fight was with
- 1:13:02Speaker 1: her ego and her attitude. I have to be dislike
- 1:13:05Speaker 1: the men in order to be a person that deserves
- 1:13:10Speaker 1: to be recognized, when in fact that was really not true.
- 1:13:13Speaker 1: And I always loved that part of the story because
- 1:13:19Speaker 1: you know, some people would put it as, oh, she
- 1:13:21Speaker 1: learned her place, She learned her place, But what she
- 1:13:23Speaker 1: really learned was to appreciate her life and appreciate love
- 1:13:31Speaker 1: that she could find, and to appreciate other people's boundaries.
- 1:13:37Speaker 1: Right because she was chasing Aragorn and he wasn't interested
- 1:13:41Speaker 1: in her, and pining over somebody that's never going to
- 1:13:45Speaker 1: be interested in you is foolish. And she there was
- 1:13:50Speaker 1: a man who loved her, and when she realized I
- 1:13:56Speaker 1: can have love, I can love and be loved and
- 1:14:00Speaker 1: it doesn't have to be with that guy who doesn't
- 1:14:02Speaker 1: want me, and I can be happy and I can
- 1:14:06Speaker 1: make him happy. That for a woman is a big
- 1:14:12Speaker 1: hurdle to get over. It shouldn't have to be. But
- 1:14:18Speaker 1: I think women are by nature more egotistical than men,
- 1:14:26Speaker 1: even without the narcissism training that we in the twentieth
- 1:14:30Speaker 1: century got, and women of the twenty first century are
- 1:14:36Speaker 1: getting growing up as little girls. So before we go on,
- 1:14:42Speaker 1: I'm gonna read before it becomes too far out of date.
- 1:14:46Speaker 1: We got a super child from the one good Man.
- 1:14:49Speaker 1: Dave was five dollars and said the Republicans would at
- 1:14:52Speaker 1: least support men in order to support women. Dems will
- 1:14:56Speaker 1: harm women in order to harm men. I also love
- 1:14:59Speaker 1: freedom tunes take on speaking to American Men and the
- 1:15:02Speaker 1: ball kicking Machine. I think I've seen that one, but
- 1:15:05Speaker 1: I'm gonna have to look it up now to see
- 1:15:07Speaker 1: if it's what I'm remembering. But you are right. You
- 1:15:12Speaker 1: can the existing Republican party. You can appeal to them
- 1:15:17Speaker 1: by appealing to this will help women, and that's useful.
- 1:15:27Speaker 1: It'd be more useful, though, if the party wasn't guyinocentric
- 1:15:31Speaker 1: that you know, the men's rights movement could just get
- 1:15:34Speaker 1: them to recognize, look, this is what civil rights are,
- 1:15:39Speaker 1: and guines centrism shouldn't be more important than civil rights.
- 1:15:44Speaker 1: But to do that, like I said, we would have
- 1:15:47Speaker 1: to take over the party. It would have to become
- 1:15:49Speaker 1: the Men's Rights Party, even if it was still called
- 1:15:53Speaker 1: the Republican Party, and it would be along march. It's
- 1:15:58Speaker 1: a march through an institution, and it would be difficult.
- 1:16:02Speaker 1: But I think it's doable. And that's my main point.
- 1:16:05Speaker 1: That is it. It is doable. But yeah, so let's
- 1:16:14Speaker 1: see where were we very supportive can be. Costello argues
- 1:16:21Speaker 1: that a that misogynistic hatred is primarily a mental health problem.
- 1:16:26Speaker 1: People who are in good mental health don't spend their
- 1:16:28Speaker 1: whole time on the internet complaining about how women are.
- 1:16:31Speaker 1: That just doesn't happen. Uh, And poor mental health often
- 1:16:36Speaker 1: does look ugly. So this is something that that explain
- 1:16:43Speaker 1: right from Hitler. Yeah, if someone says one thing the
- 1:16:53Speaker 1: incomplaint about how women are, for example, Uh, I just
- 1:16:59Speaker 1: posted some think about women not not understanding personal agency.
- 1:17:06Speaker 1: I don't even know. Yeah, I do have it quick.
- 1:17:10Speaker 1: And there was a somebody posted a cartoon and it
- 1:17:16Speaker 1: was drawn to my attention. Let me see if I
- 1:17:19Speaker 1: can actually put this tab in this window so you
- 1:17:25Speaker 1: can see it. So this is the I've seen this before, right,
- 1:17:30Speaker 1: this stupid cartoon and I don't even know who drew it.
- 1:17:37Speaker 1: But essentially it's yeah, we must end all abortions. The
- 1:17:42Speaker 1: woman says okay, and she throws chastity belts on the men, right,
- 1:17:48Speaker 1: the point being that, you know, men are allegedly to
- 1:17:51Speaker 1: blame for abortions because they knock women up, they get
- 1:17:57Speaker 1: women pregnant, they put a bun in the oven.
- 1:18:01Speaker 3: I wonder if there's a Stephenson Spermatic trust inside that
- 1:18:05Speaker 3: chastity belt. Yes, it's it's a device that was invented
- 1:18:09Speaker 3: in the early twentieth century to climb around a human
- 1:18:15Speaker 3: male penis so as to prevent anything from happening. And yes,
- 1:18:20Speaker 3: it's called a Stephenson Spermatic Trust. It's even spelt exactly
- 1:18:24Speaker 3: the same way as my last name. And there aren't
- 1:18:28Speaker 3: many things in this world to w many inventions in
- 1:18:32Speaker 3: this world to which my name can be put. One
- 1:18:35Speaker 3: of them is the train, and the other is a
- 1:18:43Speaker 3: chastity tube that was attached to male boys in order
- 1:18:49Speaker 3: to prevent them from wanking, let alone impregnating anyone. Yes,
- 1:18:56Speaker 3: these things existed. They have exis listed in uh, just
- 1:19:04Speaker 3: as much popularity as any of the weird attachments that
- 1:19:07Speaker 3: that people have put on women. Throughout this whole time. Yes,
- 1:19:14Speaker 3: I know where chair has happened to women? I hereby
- 1:19:19Speaker 3: take to my fainting couch. But yeah, where chair? Where
- 1:19:23Speaker 3: chair has happened to men as well?
- 1:19:25Speaker 1: Yeah?
- 1:19:25Speaker 3: It must have been worse for women, must it? Must
- 1:19:28Speaker 3: it have been worse for women? Maybe? I don't know.
- 1:19:31Speaker 3: It's it's sort of fluctuates, didn't it. You know, we
- 1:19:36Speaker 3: both get our fucking genitals sliced up in various different
- 1:19:39Speaker 3: countries and various different times. It's it's all fucked up,
- 1:19:43Speaker 3: isn't it. Maybe maybe it's all bad?
- 1:19:46Speaker 2: Hey?
- 1:19:48Speaker 1: Maybe, But here's here's my well, go ahead, and Richard,
- 1:19:52Speaker 1: that sounds like a song. Yeah, here's my point on this,
- 1:19:57Speaker 1: all right? Somebody posts this My response that women don't
- 1:20:02Speaker 1: understand personal agency. Therefore, in their minds, if they do
- 1:20:06Speaker 1: something careless and they don't like the outcome, they have
- 1:20:10Speaker 1: the right to shift any inconvenient consequence onto an innocent baby,
- 1:20:15Speaker 1: or blame and shame you over it. And what I
- 1:20:19Speaker 1: mean by that is women have dozens and dozens of
- 1:20:26Speaker 1: various types of birth control available to us. Not all
- 1:20:31Speaker 1: of them are great, not all of them can be
- 1:20:33Speaker 1: used by everyone. For instance, I can't use birth control pills.
- 1:20:39Speaker 1: Shouldn't use birth control pills. I can. I could go
- 1:20:42Speaker 1: to the doctor and get them prescribed anyway, as long
- 1:20:45Speaker 1: as I don't tell the doctor that I have a
- 1:20:47Speaker 1: predisposition to blood clots because they then she would never
- 1:20:51Speaker 1: prescribe them and she would explain to me that this
- 1:20:55Speaker 1: was a very bad idea and I might die from it.
- 1:21:00Speaker 1: But many, many young women have birth control pills and
- 1:21:05Speaker 1: use them. They get the birth control shot, they use
- 1:21:09Speaker 1: I uds. I always have to pause for a minute
- 1:21:13Speaker 1: because I don't think it's wise to use an ied
- 1:21:16Speaker 1: as birth control. It would work, you just would never
- 1:21:20Speaker 1: have to do it a second time. Active ye effective, Yes,
- 1:21:27Speaker 1: you don't get pregnant after you're dead.
- 1:21:30Speaker 6: Uh.
- 1:21:30Speaker 1: But but yeah, I I always want to it. It's
- 1:21:36Speaker 1: a thing with me. I want to get March and
- 1:21:38Speaker 1: May mixed up because they first they both start with
- 1:21:40Speaker 1: the same first letter. But I don't have that problem
- 1:21:44Speaker 1: with with Tuesday and Thursday. But in any case, Yeah,
- 1:21:52Speaker 1: we have barrier methods, We have spermicides. We have things
- 1:21:57Speaker 1: that scoop out the the fertilized egg before it implants.
- 1:22:03Speaker 1: We have things that scoop out the fertilized day after.
- 1:22:05Speaker 1: It implants, when you're pregnant, we have abortions that can
- 1:22:10Speaker 1: be done at home, abortions that can be done at
- 1:22:14Speaker 1: the doctor's office. Also, if we say no and a
- 1:22:20Speaker 1: guy doesn't respect that, if he doesn't accept no for
- 1:22:26Speaker 1: an answer and uses force to override it, and we
- 1:22:30Speaker 1: go to the cops, he's in violation of the law
- 1:22:34Speaker 1: in pretty much every country in the world. And you know,
- 1:22:39Speaker 1: all we have to do is prove that it happened,
- 1:22:42Speaker 1: and he is in jail. He has labeled a rapist.
- 1:22:46Speaker 1: He has persona on gradis throughout society. In many countries.
- 1:22:51Speaker 1: The stigma will follow him for the rest of his life,
- 1:22:56Speaker 1: and he will have his job seeking affected. He will
- 1:23:04Speaker 1: not be able to make relationships. It'll affect where he
- 1:23:08Speaker 1: can live in some places. But if a guy says
- 1:23:13Speaker 1: no and a woman forces the issue, in many countries,
- 1:23:20Speaker 1: she's not labeled a rapist. She's not saddled with the
- 1:23:26Speaker 1: same stigma. In some places, she might not even be
- 1:23:29Speaker 1: charged with anything. If she is charged with something, there's
- 1:23:33Speaker 1: a pretty good chance that the courts will sideline the
- 1:23:36Speaker 1: charge that she gets and treat her as a mental
- 1:23:41Speaker 1: health case instead. There's also a pretty good chance that
- 1:23:48Speaker 1: the guy just won't be believed that he can go
- 1:23:50Speaker 1: to law enforcement and say, hey, this happened to me,
- 1:23:53Speaker 1: and they'll say in your dreams, come back when you've
- 1:23:58Speaker 1: got an actual crime that occurred. Even if he has proof, well,
- 1:24:03Speaker 1: we really don't think this is that big of a deal,
- 1:24:06Speaker 1: or they'll respond with nice. But if he does complain
- 1:24:14Speaker 1: and he does take it to the system. Even in
- 1:24:18Speaker 1: the United States, where feminists have said we have equality
- 1:24:22Speaker 1: under rape law because we fought for it and you
- 1:24:25Speaker 1: guys should be grateful, courts like the Supreme Court in
- 1:24:29Speaker 1: Ohio have ruled that, actually, no, we don't, because if
- 1:24:33Speaker 1: the victim was not penetrated by the perpetrator, it doesn't
- 1:24:40Speaker 1: count as rape.
- 1:24:43Speaker 2: We have to sow.
- 1:24:46Speaker 1: In the UK, yeah, yeah, the same law with the UK. Yep,
- 1:24:50Speaker 1: it's more explicitly so in the UK because your law
- 1:24:54Speaker 1: requires a penis to be involved in order for it
- 1:24:58Speaker 1: to be considered rape.
- 1:25:00Speaker 6: So technically, I didn't I didn't it. I think it
- 1:25:04Speaker 6: uh uh all worded.
- 1:25:08Speaker 1: Technically but figuratively, factually realistically, yeah, totally different between the
- 1:25:17Speaker 1: legality and the reality. Right, the law doesn't have to
- 1:25:20Speaker 1: follow reality. And uh, so we have we have consent.
- 1:25:27Speaker 1: We have control over consent. Right, Women have control over
- 1:25:30Speaker 1: consent even if rape exists. In the vast overwhelming majorities
- 1:25:38Speaker 1: of sexual content contact that's consensual, and women have control
- 1:25:44Speaker 1: over that consent.
- 1:25:47Speaker 2: And look at.
- 1:25:50Speaker 6: Just look at the Apple situation. He had consent for
- 1:25:53Speaker 6: a woman and then she took it back. And now
- 1:25:57Speaker 6: everybody's laughing at Abba took us off.
- 1:26:00Speaker 2: What happened. But he had everything, he had efforts and
- 1:26:05Speaker 2: he recorded everything.
- 1:26:08Speaker 1: Yep. Uh, And so it's it's pretty solid. Women have
- 1:26:13Speaker 1: control over consent, and women even have some control over
- 1:26:17Speaker 1: men's birth control. And this is something that like part
- 1:26:19Speaker 1: of the chat's been talking about this too. In some countries,
- 1:26:23Speaker 1: if a man stealths, which is a really dumb idea, guys,
- 1:26:27Speaker 1: because you can get saddled with a child support bill
- 1:26:29Speaker 1: if you prove to be the father of the child.
- 1:26:32Speaker 1: But if a man's stealths, which involves removing the condom
- 1:26:35Speaker 1: without the woman's consent, that's considered rape. But if a
- 1:26:39Speaker 1: woman's stealth, which would be anything from lying about whether
- 1:26:44Speaker 1: or not she's using birth control to sabotaging her birth
- 1:26:47Speaker 1: control or his yep, sperm jacking, she's not considered a rapist.
- 1:26:57Speaker 1: She can baby trap and she's not considered a rapist.
- 1:27:00Speaker 1: If she doesn't have an abortion, she can saddle him
- 1:27:04Speaker 1: with a child support debt. He doesn't have to consent
- 1:27:08Speaker 1: to fatherhood for any of that to happen.
- 1:27:11Speaker 2: Right, So.
- 1:27:13Speaker 1: This idea that that it's somehow men's fault that abortion
- 1:27:20Speaker 1: happens is bullshit. That's why I say women don't have
- 1:27:23Speaker 1: any concept of their own agency. We have all the options,
- 1:27:28Speaker 1: we have the majority of control in that situation. If
- 1:27:33Speaker 1: a sex act happens between a man and a woman,
- 1:27:37Speaker 1: the woman has the majority, the vast overwhelming majority of
- 1:27:43Speaker 1: control over whether or not conception happens, both in terms
- 1:27:49Speaker 1: of real physical capabilities based on the scope and spectrum
- 1:27:56Speaker 1: of birth control options we have and our consent mandate,
- 1:28:02Speaker 1: and then also under the law in that overwriting a
- 1:28:07Speaker 1: refusal is something only a woman can get away with
- 1:28:11Speaker 1: under the law. A man, if he's caught overwriting a refusal,
- 1:28:18Speaker 1: never gets sent to a mental health institution instead of jail,
- 1:28:23Speaker 1: And he certainly doesn't get off scot free because it's
- 1:28:27Speaker 1: not rape because of the way that he committed the assault.
- 1:28:35Speaker 1: So yeah, people who complain about women on the internet
- 1:28:41Speaker 1: are not necessarily misogynistic. Sometimes it's just practical. This is
- 1:28:45Speaker 1: a fact that it is a problem that women don't
- 1:28:50Speaker 1: understand their own agency, That lack of understanding of agency
- 1:28:55Speaker 1: causes a huge part of men's issues. If you go
- 1:29:01Speaker 1: through the full spectrum of men's issues, whether it's parenting issues,
- 1:29:06Speaker 1: whether it's due process issues, whether it's intimate partner and
- 1:29:10Speaker 1: sexual violence issues, lack of female agency can be behind
- 1:29:15Speaker 1: seen behind almost all of them. And yet if we
- 1:29:21Speaker 1: talk about it, we're misogynistic and we're not in good
- 1:29:24Speaker 1: mental health. Most of us will talk about it at
- 1:29:28Speaker 1: least sometimes there aren't very many people that do nothing
- 1:29:32Speaker 1: but talk about it. And most of the time when
- 1:29:35Speaker 1: you find somebody that does nothing but talk about that,
- 1:29:38Speaker 1: it's because it has had a profound impact on his life.
- 1:29:44Speaker 1: Factory too. For instance, the guy that posted the educational
- 1:29:51Speaker 1: blog post that led to the formation of the Honey
- 1:29:57Speaker 1: Badger Brigade was subjected to seven false rape allegations during
- 1:30:06Speaker 1: his dating life. Seven when he explained why men going
- 1:30:13Speaker 1: their own way existed, and he explained about the legal
- 1:30:16Speaker 1: environment that men face and the social environment that men
- 1:30:19Speaker 1: face around allegations that are now thought of as getting
- 1:30:23Speaker 1: me too. He wasn't talking out of his ass. He
- 1:30:30Speaker 1: was speaking from experience, and he got shit on for it.
- 1:30:35Speaker 1: But he didn't talk about that because he has a
- 1:30:37Speaker 1: mental health problem. He talked about it because it was
- 1:30:41Speaker 1: a serious problem and he saw how bad it could
- 1:30:44Speaker 1: get and how badly it can impact someone. Seven years
- 1:30:51Speaker 1: in hell. Guy can't work partly because he cannot take
- 1:30:57Speaker 1: a job where there are women that he would be
- 1:30:59Speaker 1: working with, because you can't get past the mentality that
- 1:31:04Speaker 1: what happened to him before might happen to him again.
- 1:31:07Speaker 1: He was harassed at work by his ex wife during
- 1:31:10Speaker 1: that vexatious litigation ordeal, and when he went to our
- 1:31:17Speaker 1: boss because he worked with me. When he went to
- 1:31:20Speaker 1: our boss and said, this is happening and it's a problem,
- 1:31:25Speaker 1: she said, there isn't anything I could do about it,
- 1:31:28Speaker 1: but you're gonna have to take measures to protect yourself
- 1:31:31Speaker 1: because if she gets you in trouble, it's probably going
- 1:31:34Speaker 1: to cost you your job. And when she said there
- 1:31:40Speaker 1: isn't anything she could do about it, from her perspective,
- 1:31:44Speaker 1: what she was talking about was this shouldn't be happening.
- 1:31:48Speaker 1: But because a woman is doing it, I'm powerless to
- 1:31:51Speaker 1: put a stop to it. But of course from him,
- 1:31:57Speaker 1: for his perspective, what it means is you're not safe here.
- 1:32:03Speaker 1: Nobody is going to take your side. She doesn't have
- 1:32:07Speaker 1: to come here. But if she violates her restraining order
- 1:32:12Speaker 1: against you by showing up in your workplace, you're still
- 1:32:15Speaker 1: going to get arrested. He ended up quitting and that
- 1:32:21Speaker 1: was the last job you ever had. That's insane. That's insane, now,
- 1:32:28Speaker 1: you know.
- 1:32:28Speaker 4: I have seen certain cases, like you know, where a
- 1:32:32Speaker 4: restraining order is put on someone and they'll tell the
- 1:32:35Speaker 4: person whom the restraining order is put against, you know,
- 1:32:41Speaker 4: like if you're grocery shopping and that person walks into
- 1:32:44Speaker 4: the grocery shore store, just you have to leave, just
- 1:32:48Speaker 4: drop everything. But there should be certain protections in the workplace.
- 1:32:55Speaker 1: Yeah, it just that, it.
- 1:32:58Speaker 4: Blows my mind, blows my f can mind that that
- 1:33:00Speaker 4: happened to him.
- 1:33:02Speaker 1: Yep, and it was a real problem. One of these days,
- 1:33:07Speaker 1: I'll have to read that on the air, that story.
- 1:33:10Speaker 1: I don't think we've ever done that. I don't think
- 1:33:12Speaker 1: I've ever read the seven Years in Hell story as
- 1:33:15Speaker 1: part of a show. But yeah, we're in Ohio. Right,
- 1:33:24Speaker 1: we're in the Dayton metro area. This woman used Montgomery
- 1:33:27Speaker 1: and Green County court systems. She used the City of
- 1:33:32Speaker 1: Dayton Police Department, the City of Riverside Police Department, and
- 1:33:35Speaker 1: two other police departments to go after this guy, and
- 1:33:42Speaker 1: throughout the entire ordeal, the way that he was treated
- 1:33:48Speaker 1: was you should preemptively know all the places that she
- 1:33:55Speaker 1: might go and stay away from those places. If she
- 1:33:59Speaker 1: shows up where you are, you're already in violation, even
- 1:34:02Speaker 1: if you leave. Well, she lived across Dayton from him.
- 1:34:08Speaker 1: He's in a suburb, you know, And we were working
- 1:34:11Speaker 1: in a suburb, and she was on the other side
- 1:34:17Speaker 1: of Dayton proper, and you know, like where we're talking,
- 1:34:24Speaker 1: a couple of miles away. And the place that we
- 1:34:27Speaker 1: were working was a convenience store in the neighborhood where
- 1:34:31Speaker 1: we both lived in different places. And for her to
- 1:34:37Speaker 1: go to that convenience store, she had to go out
- 1:34:39Speaker 1: of her way. It wasn't like down the street from
- 1:34:43Speaker 1: her house or on her way to some place that
- 1:34:46Speaker 1: she regularly went. It was completely outside the circuit of
- 1:34:50Speaker 1: her normal route. But because she had a restraining order,
- 1:34:58Speaker 1: if she went in there and he didn't leave, she
- 1:35:03Speaker 1: could get him arrested, and she did. She went in
- 1:35:05Speaker 1: several times. She vandalized the bathroom, trying to get him
- 1:35:08Speaker 1: busted for being there when she was there and for
- 1:35:12Speaker 1: harassing her. The fun part was she vandalized the bathroom
- 1:35:18Speaker 1: right before it was my duty to go in there
- 1:35:20Speaker 1: and clean it up. So and she vandalized it with
- 1:35:25Speaker 1: a sharpie, which made things really easy because you can
- 1:35:30Speaker 1: remove a sharpie from just about anything with isopropyl alcohol,
- 1:35:37Speaker 1: and that was the main ingredient in the sanitizer we
- 1:35:40Speaker 1: used to clean the counters because it evaporates completely and
- 1:35:43Speaker 1: you don't have any poisonous residue on food surfaces. So
- 1:35:48Speaker 1: when she called and filed a complaint and they came
- 1:35:53Speaker 1: in to check to see what was there, there was nothing.
- 1:36:00Speaker 1: She's like, oh, there's graffiti all over the ot side
- 1:36:02Speaker 1: of the bathroom about me goes in there. The walls
- 1:36:07Speaker 1: were spotless. So anyway, the point is, like people talk
- 1:36:15Speaker 1: about misogynistic comments on the internet all the time. You
- 1:36:18Speaker 1: hear this, well, there's lots of misogyny on social media
- 1:36:22Speaker 1: is just rife with misogyny. People are constantly bashing women
- 1:36:26Speaker 1: and ninety percent of the time. When you look at
- 1:36:29Speaker 1: the comments that they're talking about, it's recognition that you're
- 1:36:36Speaker 1: not noticing your own personal agency as a woman. If
- 1:36:40Speaker 1: you blame men for you conceiving a child during consensual
- 1:36:45Speaker 1: sex with a man you chose to have sex with
- 1:36:48Speaker 1: and then didn't use sufficient birth control with, and then
- 1:36:53Speaker 1: choosing abortion when you didn't have to, right, blaming men
- 1:36:58Speaker 1: for that is bullshit. But telling women recognize your own
- 1:37:05Speaker 1: agency's misogyny.
- 1:37:08Speaker 7: Yeah, to go back to the seven years in hell case,
- 1:37:12Speaker 7: just for one second, I have one question, So could
- 1:37:16Speaker 7: you could the store not have trespassed her from the
- 1:37:21Speaker 7: premises and then if she came back, called and had
- 1:37:24Speaker 7: her arrested.
- 1:37:26Speaker 1: If she had not had the support of the Artemis
- 1:37:32Speaker 1: Center for Abused Women, the store would have trespassed her.
- 1:37:41Speaker 1: But because she was working with the Artemis Center for
- 1:37:46Speaker 1: Abused Women, the store, the corporation, everybody was afraid as
- 1:37:53Speaker 1: they would do for discrimination. Oh my, she wasn't allowed
- 1:37:59Speaker 1: to go in there. That's ridiculous. That's absolutely ridiculous.
- 1:38:07Speaker 2: Yep.
- 1:38:08Speaker 1: So it's a difficult thing. Even people that are sympathetic
- 1:38:14Speaker 1: to men, if they're in a situation like that, you know,
- 1:38:19Speaker 1: and for me, it was it was difficult because I
- 1:38:23Speaker 1: mean I worked there, I continued to work there. I
- 1:38:25Speaker 1: worked there from twentousand and six twenty twelve. And during
- 1:38:31Speaker 1: the time that I was working there, this vexatious litigant
- 1:38:35Speaker 1: was trying to find out who I was and where
- 1:38:38Speaker 1: I lived because I was one of his witnesses, So
- 1:38:41Speaker 1: she was trying to get my home address information. She
- 1:38:45Speaker 1: actually submitted a demand in near the end of the
- 1:38:51Speaker 1: case asking for our ven numbers from our vehicles. What
- 1:38:56Speaker 1: vehicle that this guy rode around in. It was really
- 1:39:01Speaker 1: off the rails. Oh shit, yeah, like stuff that she's
- 1:39:06Speaker 1: not legally allowed to ask for she asked for is
- 1:39:09Speaker 1: really bad. And so, like I said, one of these
- 1:39:13Speaker 1: days we'll read through that because the roller coaster of
- 1:39:16Speaker 1: what that story is. This is the legal environment created
- 1:39:22Speaker 1: by Joseph Biden's baby, the Violence Against Women Act. Mm hm,
- 1:39:32Speaker 1: that law facilitated all of that shit, right, But you
- 1:39:40Speaker 1: have poor mental health if you criticize women for behaving
- 1:39:46Speaker 1: that way, he goes on to say, blame or she
- 1:39:50Speaker 1: goes on to say, but blaming misogyny on poor mental
- 1:39:53Speaker 1: health provides a cover for their hatred, which most people
- 1:39:57Speaker 1: with mental health problems, don't share. Okay, you know you're right,
- 1:40:02Speaker 1: most crazy people are also guyinocentric. I'll accept that one.
- 1:40:10Speaker 1: Most crazy people are also guyinocentric. Therefore, if there is,
- 1:40:16Speaker 1: I still have not found an example of just flat
- 1:40:21Speaker 1: out hatred for women, right, not an educated response to
- 1:40:26Speaker 1: women's behavior that looks like hatred, but just disdain for
- 1:40:31Speaker 1: women on a basis that you know they're women. Hatred
- 1:40:35Speaker 1: for women just because they're women, not because they have
- 1:40:38Speaker 1: no agency, not because they're assholes, but just because they
- 1:40:41Speaker 1: have a vagina. Many of the two point three million
- 1:40:51Speaker 1: people abusing women just in England and Wales guys may
- 1:40:59Speaker 1: have or mental health, but it's difficult to assert they do.
- 1:41:03Speaker 1: Maybe that's meters. I just can't believe there's two point
- 1:41:05Speaker 1: three million people abusing women in England and Wales. I don't.
- 1:41:09Speaker 1: I don't think there's two point three million people abusing
- 1:41:12Speaker 1: women in the United States.
- 1:41:13Speaker 2: It's mostly men that get abused.
- 1:41:16Speaker 3: Yep, well kinda I disagree with you? Now what what
- 1:41:20Speaker 3: I have just committed against women and girls?
- 1:41:27Speaker 2: Yes?
- 1:41:28Speaker 1: Yeah?
- 1:41:29Speaker 2: Oh?
- 1:41:30Speaker 1: Have you to need people to disagree with me or
- 1:41:32Speaker 1: I can't sharpen my debate skills?
- 1:41:35Speaker 2: Oh, have you seen my Twitter feed?
- 1:41:38Speaker 1: Yeah? I absolutely love your Twitter feed. Yeah. And and
- 1:41:47Speaker 1: I still don't consider you a real misogynist. Holding women
- 1:41:51Speaker 1: accountable for women's choices is beneficial to women. You don't
- 1:41:57Speaker 1: do beneficial things for people you hate, she goes on.
- 1:42:03Speaker 1: And there is agency in the choice to direct their
- 1:42:06Speaker 1: negative feelings that women see. This is it if fist
- 1:42:10Speaker 1: feminists think that you're supposed to be nice to women
- 1:42:12Speaker 1: all the time, right, supposed to treat women in a shiny,
- 1:42:17Speaker 1: happy people holding hands kind of.
- 1:42:20Speaker 3: Way, unless you want to actually procreate with us, in
- 1:42:24Speaker 3: which case treat us like shit. Good luck figuring that shit.
- 1:42:29Speaker 2: Out, yep.
- 1:42:30Speaker 1: Well, and and then you also have to be the
- 1:42:33Speaker 1: right guy, and he has to have the right looks
- 1:42:37Speaker 1: and enough money. Otherwise, if you're trying to procreate, and
- 1:42:43Speaker 1: and you even so much as say, how do you
- 1:42:45Speaker 1: do in the most polite manner possible, even with a
- 1:42:50Speaker 1: little bow and a flourish, you're a creep And she's
- 1:42:54Speaker 1: going to call the cops, and you need to get
- 1:42:55Speaker 1: the fuck away before you get arrested.
- 1:42:58Speaker 2: And that's why I'm glad I'm invisible.
- 1:43:02Speaker 1: It is helpful to be invisible. Invisible when people are
- 1:43:05Speaker 1: trying to get you arrested with some more super chows.
- 1:43:10Speaker 1: Richard Bierre sent me the Freedom Tunes thing. I don't
- 1:43:17Speaker 1: how long is this. I don't know if it's fair
- 1:43:20Speaker 1: to play the whole thing, but let's see here. We'll
- 1:43:27Speaker 1: open it. I'm gonna copy it because it might not
- 1:43:35Speaker 1: open in the correct window. I have like eight windows
- 1:43:42Speaker 1: with a bunch of different tabs open on my computer
- 1:43:45Speaker 1: that I didn't close before the show, and I'm not
- 1:43:47Speaker 1: going to I'm gonna plause it for a second and
- 1:43:52Speaker 1: see if I can find I think this is like
- 1:44:05Speaker 1: the most watched part of it. The platform do to
- 1:44:08Speaker 1: have a more masculine sensibility, exactly.
- 1:44:13Speaker 5: Now you're on board.
- 1:44:16Speaker 1: Negatory. I told you, oh, okay, what about this one?
- 1:44:22Speaker 3: No?
- 1:44:22Speaker 1: Yeah, that this doesn't appeal to me either. See I
- 1:44:25Speaker 1: told you take that's a guy with a ball kick machine.
- 1:44:31Speaker 1: Don't love it. You want a more revolutionary approach. So
- 1:44:37Speaker 1: that's the The whole sketches is uh just a minute
- 1:44:41Speaker 1: or is a sorry three three minutes forty seconds long?
- 1:44:46Speaker 1: But I'm not gonna play the whole thing because if
- 1:44:50Speaker 1: you want to watch it, you should go to their channel.
- 1:44:53Speaker 1: But yeah, I do remember this. This is one that
- 1:44:57Speaker 1: I have seen and it's pretty muchmanism, and it's salesmanship
- 1:45:02Speaker 1: in a nutshell. They do market feminism pretty much that way.
- 1:45:08Speaker 1: So official Reverse Traditionalism channel on YouTube gave us twenty
- 1:45:14Speaker 1: dollars and said, the average man thinks his problems are
- 1:45:17Speaker 1: actually are mostly relationship related, as if that says nothing
- 1:45:21Speaker 1: about how women view men. The average woman thinks her
- 1:45:26Speaker 1: problems actually are mostly caused by men, as if that
- 1:45:29Speaker 1: also says nothing about how women view men. And yeah,
- 1:45:33Speaker 1: that's true because women don't exercise their personal agency. And
- 1:45:42Speaker 1: it's easy to get infected with this too. And there's
- 1:45:46Speaker 1: something I tell periodically about that happened to me while
- 1:45:51Speaker 1: I was working at that gas station. So women from
- 1:45:57Speaker 1: Artemis House, we're in and out of that gas station
- 1:45:59Speaker 1: a lot, partly because of the vexatious litigant situation. She
- 1:46:03Speaker 1: had told them, you know, oh, he works there, he
- 1:46:05Speaker 1: works there. Art of this this house is the actual
- 1:46:08Speaker 1: shelter that the Artemis Center runs for women. And while
- 1:46:15Speaker 1: all this was going on, I was teaching photography at
- 1:46:20Speaker 1: Wright State University's late campus in Salina, So I was
- 1:46:24Speaker 1: driving eighty miles every Monday going up dropping my son
- 1:46:29Speaker 1: off with my parents, teaching the class while he had
- 1:46:31Speaker 1: a visit with Grandma and grandpa because they desperately wanted
- 1:46:36Speaker 1: to see him and that was an opportunity, and then
- 1:46:40Speaker 1: you know, picking him up going home, and the victim
- 1:46:47Speaker 1: in the vexatious litigation case his good wife, who I
- 1:46:52Speaker 1: called Bridget in the write above it. She took my
- 1:46:55Speaker 1: class because she was actually getting her teaching degree at
- 1:46:59Speaker 1: the time, and so she rode with me. We were
- 1:47:02Speaker 1: riding up there together and all of a sudden, she's like,
- 1:47:06Speaker 1: I hear a noise. I had run over what I
- 1:47:11Speaker 1: thought it was a piece of cardboard on the road,
- 1:47:13Speaker 1: and I'm pretty sure to this day that it was,
- 1:47:16Speaker 1: but I thought it might have been a piece of metal.
- 1:47:19Speaker 1: When I realized what she was hearing was metal dragging,
- 1:47:23Speaker 1: And it turned out that the exhaust had rusted out
- 1:47:29Speaker 1: and it was dragging. But at the time I didn't
- 1:47:33Speaker 1: know that. What I did know was that I had
- 1:47:35Speaker 1: to look and make sure that there wasn't damage. So
- 1:47:38Speaker 1: I pulled over and I got out, and I set
- 1:47:43Speaker 1: my keys down, and then I thought, well, that was dumb,
- 1:47:48Speaker 1: and I reached in to get my keys and a
- 1:47:51Speaker 1: semi truck drove by at about the same time, and
- 1:47:54Speaker 1: the wind from the semi going past the stop vehicle
- 1:47:58Speaker 1: at sixty five miles an hour or more pulled the
- 1:48:03Speaker 1: door and then it hit its the farthest it could
- 1:48:07Speaker 1: be pulled, and it slams shut. And as as this
- 1:48:11Speaker 1: is happening, I yanked. I yanked my hand back and
- 1:48:18Speaker 1: just barely didn't get all the way out. So my thumb,
- 1:48:22Speaker 1: my right thumb was caught in the door and it
- 1:48:26Speaker 1: shut all the way on my thumb and it latched
- 1:48:33Speaker 1: and then it botto locked, which that van didn't even do,
- 1:48:37Speaker 1: but it did at that time. That really sucked. Well.
- 1:48:41Speaker 1: I had a spare key in my right hand pocket
- 1:48:45Speaker 1: and I'm yelling, you know the whole time, like fuck, yeah,
- 1:48:51Speaker 1: but you can you can. You could quote tweet that
- 1:48:55Speaker 1: or quote that. Fuck the whole time as I'm trying
- 1:48:59Speaker 1: to reach around with my left hand into my moving
- 1:49:02Speaker 1: right pocket because my coat was open. Didn't feel a
- 1:49:06Speaker 1: thing because my thumb was slammed shut in the door.
- 1:49:09Speaker 1: And finally get that out, unlock the door, let my
- 1:49:12Speaker 1: thumb out, and got my keys, went back, discovered the
- 1:49:17Speaker 1: tailpipe problem, found something to tie it up with, drove
- 1:49:23Speaker 1: to the class, taught my class with my thumb in
- 1:49:27Speaker 1: a glass of ice, and went home and didn't think
- 1:49:33Speaker 1: anything of it until maybe two or three days later
- 1:49:36Speaker 1: when I got the hives from something and went to
- 1:49:40Speaker 1: the doctor and he's like, what's wrong with your thumb?
- 1:49:42Speaker 1: After we'd discussed the hives, and he gives me one
- 1:49:46Speaker 1: of the worst experiences of my life, which is a
- 1:49:48Speaker 1: steroid that makes you way way up in you know,
- 1:49:54Speaker 1: nervousness and stuff. And I'm like, well, this is what happened,
- 1:49:59Speaker 1: and he he goes, well, let's just get an X ray.
- 1:50:02Speaker 1: I didn't want to get an X ray. It was just,
- 1:50:05Speaker 1: you know, a stupid accident. Turns out I had split
- 1:50:12Speaker 1: the tip of the bone back like most of a centimeter,
- 1:50:18Speaker 1: and so he put it in a splint. So a
- 1:50:21Speaker 1: couple days after that, I'm at work at the gas station.
- 1:50:25Speaker 1: I was the chief cook and bottle washer cook, meaning
- 1:50:28Speaker 1: that I have assembled pre cooked food, not actual cooking,
- 1:50:33Speaker 1: and then I heated it up for presentation. But I
- 1:50:39Speaker 1: also made coffee. So I'm making coffee. I've got a
- 1:50:42Speaker 1: splint on the thumb of my good hand, so I'm
- 1:50:45Speaker 1: using my right forefinger as my thumb and handling everything
- 1:50:52Speaker 1: that way. And this lady comes up. She sees me
- 1:50:57Speaker 1: doing all this, and I I've broken enough fingers doing
- 1:51:02Speaker 1: stupid shit that I've gotten pretty adept at adapting to
- 1:51:06Speaker 1: not having all of my fingers working in the moment.
- 1:51:10Speaker 1: She thought that was weird and started grilling me about
- 1:51:14Speaker 1: how what did my husband do to me? What did
- 1:51:16Speaker 1: my boyfriend do to me? You know, blah blah blah.
- 1:51:20Speaker 1: And when she found out I was married, it was
- 1:51:23Speaker 1: even harsher grilling, and she actually gave me a rough
- 1:51:27Speaker 1: time about telling her no. And when I told her
- 1:51:31Speaker 1: not only did he not do this, but I was
- 1:51:34Speaker 1: eighty miles away from him when it happened, she decided
- 1:51:40Speaker 1: that I was exaggerating because it's not possible that I
- 1:51:47Speaker 1: would have an injury happen when I was that far
- 1:51:49Speaker 1: away from my husband. Women only get injured guys if
- 1:51:53Speaker 1: their husbands do it. Otherwise, we are impervious to all injury,
- 1:51:57Speaker 1: and none of us are clumsy. Ever, none of us
- 1:52:01Speaker 1: act without thinking quickly in the moment, what will happen
- 1:52:05Speaker 1: if I do this? And none of us ever have
- 1:52:09Speaker 1: bad luck. Only when our husbands and boyfriends decide to
- 1:52:14Speaker 1: beat on us, Do we get broken thumbs? We certainly
- 1:52:16Speaker 1: can't shut it in the car door, right. And I
- 1:52:21Speaker 1: actually had to complain that this woman was harassing me
- 1:52:25Speaker 1: to get the manager to show her away. She tried
- 1:52:31Speaker 1: to care in her way into getting me written up
- 1:52:34Speaker 1: for refusing to talk to her. This is the kind
- 1:52:39Speaker 1: of pressure that women face every day. Are you sure
- 1:52:44Speaker 1: it's not his fault? Are you remembering it right? Are
- 1:52:47Speaker 1: you covering for somebody who hurt you? I don't believe
- 1:52:53Speaker 1: your denial. If you said he beat you, I'd believe you.
- 1:52:56Speaker 1: But if you say he didn't, I don't believe that.
- 1:53:00Speaker 1: That is what we face every single day. Not necessarily
- 1:53:04Speaker 1: on that level, but there is message after message after
- 1:53:10Speaker 1: message after message. They had a billboard up down the
- 1:53:14Speaker 1: street from my apartment for a while that made it
- 1:53:17Speaker 1: out like abuse is always male perpetrated, and you know,
- 1:53:21Speaker 1: women are always victims, And it was it was really
- 1:53:26Speaker 1: upsetting to have to drive by that on the way
- 1:53:28Speaker 1: home every day, but it wasn't to the degree that,
- 1:53:32Speaker 1: like I was upset for more than five minutes. I'm
- 1:53:35Speaker 1: kind of used to how bad that is. But they
- 1:53:38Speaker 1: advertise in women's bathrooms. I posted a picture on x
- 1:53:44Speaker 1: not too long ago. I was in a bathroom in
- 1:53:46Speaker 1: a location I hadn't even expected to be in that
- 1:53:50Speaker 1: morning until I got there, and there was a poster. Right,
- 1:53:59Speaker 1: And then you also have the men or pigs. Men
- 1:54:02Speaker 1: are slobs, men are annoying, men are bad housekeepers, men
- 1:54:08Speaker 1: are bad parents, Men or this, men are that. Those
- 1:54:11Speaker 1: messages are in every bit of entertainment we have. They're
- 1:54:15Speaker 1: in our music, They're in the advertisements that we see
- 1:54:19Speaker 1: for things that have absolutely nothing to do with gender issues.
- 1:54:25Speaker 1: You can't buy laundry detergent or breakfast cereal without getting
- 1:54:31Speaker 1: a message about how incompetent men are, or how men
- 1:54:35Speaker 1: owe deference to women, or how women are smarter than
- 1:54:40Speaker 1: men or better than men in some way or another,
- 1:54:44Speaker 1: and and and how we should be policing men.
- 1:54:50Speaker 2: Right.
- 1:54:52Speaker 1: That is that is a woman's world. That is what
- 1:54:55Speaker 1: we walk around in all the time. That is where
- 1:54:57Speaker 1: we where we have to get all of our information.
- 1:55:02Speaker 1: And if a woman doesn't resist that actively all the time,
- 1:55:11Speaker 1: she will develop some degree of missonry. And she'll express
- 1:55:15Speaker 1: that missionry online anywhere from in the form of stupid jokes,
- 1:55:23Speaker 1: which you know because It used to go both ways.
- 1:55:26Speaker 1: It used to be no big deal, but now it's
- 1:55:30Speaker 1: only allowed to go one way, right to out and
- 1:55:33Speaker 1: out statements of hatred, which they'll play off as stupid
- 1:55:37Speaker 1: jokes if you get upset about them and then call
- 1:55:40Speaker 1: you over sensitive. But don't you dare make the same
- 1:55:43Speaker 1: stupid kind of jokes about women. But there is agency
- 1:55:50Speaker 1: in the choice for men to direct their negative feelings
- 1:55:53Speaker 1: at women. And how dare you even if the reason
- 1:55:58Speaker 1: is because you were raped by one or one put
- 1:56:01Speaker 1: you through seven years of hell in the court system
- 1:56:07Speaker 1: and made it so that you can never hold a
- 1:56:09Speaker 1: job again for the rest of your life. Let's see
- 1:56:21Speaker 1: we got Richard Bierre gave us five dollars and said,
- 1:56:23Speaker 1: I must add that it is probably for the better
- 1:56:26Speaker 1: that the kind of woman who insists on abortion access
- 1:56:28Speaker 1: or repeatedly seeks abortion probably shouldn't ever become a mother.
- 1:56:32Speaker 1: She is the type who would likely resent the child
- 1:56:35Speaker 1: and probably would abuse the child too. So historically we
- 1:56:40Speaker 1: had a different way of handling that Boomers where I
- 1:56:44Speaker 1: think with the last generation that did this, But there
- 1:56:51Speaker 1: were two different things that were very different for Boomers
- 1:56:54Speaker 1: than Gen xers when they were in high school. And
- 1:56:58Speaker 1: the first one was we did not encourage girls to
- 1:57:03Speaker 1: fuck everything that moved or pieces of plastic or whatnot.
- 1:57:09Speaker 1: We mainly right, the society mainly encouraged girls to be
- 1:57:14Speaker 1: picky about who they fucked and the circumstances under which
- 1:57:21Speaker 1: they allowed that to happen, to not just to not
- 1:57:31Speaker 1: just be innocent.
- 1:57:33Speaker 2: Right.
- 1:57:33Speaker 1: It wasn't just about you you can't enjoy sex, you
- 1:57:38Speaker 1: can't enjoy your your femininity, and you can't enjoy male company.
- 1:57:43Speaker 1: It was about value yourself and your reproductive power enough
- 1:57:53Speaker 1: to limit how you are using it. Value your sexual
- 1:57:57Speaker 1: power enough to guard it carefully, keep it as a treasure,
- 1:58:04Speaker 1: not something that you just give away at the drop
- 1:58:06Speaker 1: of a hat. So there were fewer unwed pregnancies, There
- 1:58:12Speaker 1: were fewer women conceiving when they didn't want to be parents.
- 1:58:19Speaker 1: There were fewer girls conceiving when they didn't want to
- 1:58:22Speaker 1: be parents. That was the first thing. And the second
- 1:58:27Speaker 1: thing was that the family would support and their community
- 1:58:37Speaker 1: to a degree, would support their decision if they did
- 1:58:41Speaker 1: get pregnant. They would support their decision to marry the
- 1:58:46Speaker 1: father of the child and raise the child together, or
- 1:58:49Speaker 1: they would support their decision to not marry the father
- 1:58:52Speaker 1: of the child and to raise the child by themselves
- 1:58:59Speaker 1: or to put the child up for adoption. And these
- 1:59:07Speaker 1: were things that if you know, the family helped the
- 1:59:11Speaker 1: couple get married. They had aunts and cousins and siblings,
- 1:59:18Speaker 1: their parents that they would you know, they would help
- 1:59:23Speaker 1: with bills, they would help with cleaning, they would help with,
- 1:59:26Speaker 1: you know, making sure that the young mom understood what
- 1:59:30Speaker 1: she was doing in child rearing, and that the young
- 1:59:33Speaker 1: father was supported in the hardship of starting work when
- 1:59:38Speaker 1: he would have been normally maybe going out for the
- 1:59:40Speaker 1: baseball team. And then they would if if the mom
- 1:59:47Speaker 1: and the dad didn't get married, there was this there
- 1:59:52Speaker 1: was this organization that you've probably heard of from the
- 1:59:56Speaker 1: Monopoly game called the Community Chest funded various initiatives within
- 2:00:04Speaker 1: your community and in many communities. One of the initiatives
- 2:00:07Speaker 1: was similar to a women's shelter, but not an abuse shelter.
- 2:00:13Speaker 1: It was for pregnant women. They would go and stay there,
- 2:00:15Speaker 1: they would have support while they were there, and they'd
- 2:00:20Speaker 1: give birth to their babies while they were living there,
- 2:00:24Speaker 1: go into their hospital and give birth. They would get
- 2:00:27Speaker 1: an education both in parenting and in the type of
- 2:00:33Speaker 1: work that they could do without losing the ability to
- 2:00:39Speaker 1: parent their child. Like there are things like secretary work
- 2:00:44Speaker 1: that you can do. Even back then, you could do
- 2:00:48Speaker 1: a lot of it from home or workplaces might actually
- 2:00:53Speaker 1: allow you to bring a baby in. It wasn't always
- 2:00:56Speaker 1: that way, right, It wasn't every single woman in every
- 2:01:00Speaker 1: single situation they could. They'd even help them find child
- 2:01:04Speaker 1: care if that wasn't the circumstance. So the community supported
- 2:01:09Speaker 1: women in uh making sure that they were able to
- 2:01:15Speaker 1: give birth, raise their kid, and and work and not
- 2:01:20Speaker 1: necessarily be like helpless in that situation. And if they
- 2:01:26Speaker 1: wanted to go away and have the baby, give the
- 2:01:30Speaker 1: baby up for adoption and then come back, they could
- 2:01:33Speaker 1: do that too, And some women's families made them do that, right,
- 2:01:39Speaker 1: but it but it was it was also something that women,
- 2:01:42Speaker 1: young women did by choice. So essentially you didn't need
- 2:01:50Speaker 1: abortion to solve this problem. You just needed a community
- 2:01:57Speaker 1: that that actually would rally around circumstances where somebody had
- 2:02:02Speaker 1: made a bad choice, but you didn't want it to
- 2:02:06Speaker 1: ruin the kid's life. And that kind of welfare kind
- 2:02:11Speaker 1: of killed that because you know, people think, well, we're
- 2:02:17Speaker 1: getting taxed for it. It's covering their expenses. We don't
- 2:02:19Speaker 1: have to do anything else. So Richard Berre also gave
- 2:02:27Speaker 1: us five dollars and said, so that video with the
- 2:02:29Speaker 1: two women at the cliff edge with their hair sticking
- 2:02:32Speaker 1: out in all directions were perfectly fine because no man
- 2:02:36Speaker 1: was in the immediate vicinity, got it? Yes, that's that's
- 2:02:41Speaker 1: Apparently there's no man around, and there's they can't blame
- 2:02:45Speaker 1: a man, then there can't be a problem. Let's see,
- 2:02:51Speaker 1: I don't know if I missed any super chats. I
- 2:02:53Speaker 1: don't see one, but I'm scrolling all the way back
- 2:02:57Speaker 1: as far as I can go toward the beginning, just
- 2:03:00Speaker 1: to make sure no super chats on YouTube. We have
- 2:03:03Speaker 1: a super A Rumble Rant paid Rumble Rant Nova fan
- 2:03:10Speaker 1: twenty one gave us a dollar and said, at this point,
- 2:03:13Speaker 1: if men were even half as misogynistic as they claimed
- 2:03:17Speaker 1: men were, we would be likely we would be more
- 2:03:20Speaker 1: likely to take back society from the feminists. Yeah. I
- 2:03:23Speaker 1: would go so far as to say if men were
- 2:03:26Speaker 1: actually a full half as misogynistic as feminists believed that
- 2:03:33Speaker 1: men were, women would live in camps, right, They would
- 2:03:39Speaker 1: be similar to the types of camps that the Soviets
- 2:03:47Speaker 1: made to house dissenters. Right, we would be living in goolegs.
- 2:03:56Speaker 1: If men were that misogynistic, they would separate women from
- 2:04:01Speaker 1: men and children, and as soon as a girl hit puberty,
- 2:04:05Speaker 1: she'd go into one of those camps to make sure
- 2:04:09Speaker 1: that men didn't have to deal with women, and only
- 2:04:13Speaker 1: women who were decent enough toward men to be tolerable
- 2:04:23Speaker 1: would be allowed to come out for breeding purposes. Like,
- 2:04:27Speaker 1: that's the way that feminists talk about men. They talk
- 2:04:31Speaker 1: about men as if men were that bad, well twice
- 2:04:35Speaker 1: that bad, really, and if men were half as bad
- 2:04:40Speaker 1: as feminists say they are, that's what would be going on.
- 2:04:46Speaker 1: But instead they openly allow women to openly talk about
- 2:04:52Speaker 1: putting men in those kind of camps. They allow women
- 2:04:56Speaker 1: to openly talk about mandatory vas ectomies and and putting
- 2:05:00Speaker 1: men in chastity belts, talk about blaming men for abortion
- 2:05:07Speaker 1: and you know, blaming men for anything else that women do. Right,
- 2:05:13Speaker 1: it's bullshit, It's all bullshit. But that's the way it is.
- 2:05:20Speaker 1: I think we will. We'll read this next paragraph and
- 2:05:24Speaker 1: then we'll stop and I'll read it again next week. Nevertheless,
- 2:05:28Speaker 1: Cosselo says men need to be able to speak freely
- 2:05:31Speaker 1: about these negative feelings in order to address them. It's
- 2:05:34Speaker 1: all men talk about your feelings, he says. But then
- 2:05:39Speaker 1: when men's express anger and frustration with their lives, it's dismissed.
- 2:05:44Speaker 1: Imagine if you're going into therapy and you just feel
- 2:05:47Speaker 1: like you're hanging on by a thread, and you're told
- 2:05:50Speaker 1: something about your toxic masculinity and your male privilege, I
- 2:05:53Speaker 1: think I just walk out, And I think he has
- 2:05:57Speaker 1: a point, right men. Men are supposed to talk about
- 2:06:01Speaker 1: their feelings, but not if they're upset at not being
- 2:06:04Speaker 1: allowed to see their children. Men are supposed to talk
- 2:06:08Speaker 1: about their problems, but not if their problem was that
- 2:06:12Speaker 1: a woman raped them and gave them an STI. And
- 2:06:19Speaker 1: men are supposed to talk about things that they want changed,
- 2:06:26Speaker 1: but not if they want fair treatment in court when
- 2:06:31Speaker 1: they're in conflict with a woman. And men are supposed
- 2:06:37Speaker 1: to talk about what's bothering them, but not if it's
- 2:06:42Speaker 1: how women treat them, they're radical if they do that.
- 2:06:51Speaker 1: Anybody else got any last word on the subject, All right,
- 2:06:58Speaker 1: Then with that, I will call the show. Thanks everybody
- 2:07:03Speaker 1: for listening. Thanks to all my co hosts for going
- 2:07:06Speaker 1: over this tripe with me. We still have a little
- 2:07:09Speaker 1: bit to go. We didn't get very far tonight, but
- 2:07:12Speaker 1: that's okay because we had other things to talk about too.
- 2:07:15Speaker 1: And thanks again Brian for working in the background and
- 2:07:20Speaker 1: making HBr talk happen and goodnight all.
