Transcript
- 0:00Hello, and welcome to HBr Talk two eighty three. What a boys Need?
- 0:05A nineteen sixty sixties case study has the answer. I am your host,
- 0:11Hannah Wallen here with nonsense annihilator Lauren Brooks and the personification of perceptivity Mike
- 0:16Stevenson. To finish up that video, we've been examining the nineteen sixties case
- 0:20study, psychology case study, or psychological study of the aggressive little boy.
- 0:28But as always, we've got to do what we've got to do before we
- 0:32can get to that. Honey Badger Radio dishes out Ace Mortgage Board of thought
- 0:37provoking discussions, and as experiences both recent and long past have demonstrated, the
- 0:42provoked thoughts are fighting back, They've made it clear that for people like us,
- 0:47relying on third party payment platforms like Patreon to fund our work is treading
- 0:51on thin ice or building our house in the path of our rapidly growing wildfire.
- 0:57In light of this, we strongly encourage our supporters to switch at least
- 1:00their support for us to feed the Badger dot Com the most stable way to
- 1:04help us out, and if you want to tip us directly instead of relying
- 1:08on any social media platforms, tip jar the link for that is feed the
- 1:11Badger dot com slash just the tip and as always, the same risk applies
- 1:17to our social media platforms, which is why you should further provoke the thought
- 1:21police by tracking our thought provoking discussions on Honeybadger Brigade dot com, where you
- 1:26can find your way to all of our content, as well as a link
- 1:30to feed the Badger dot com in the dropdown menu at the top of the
- 1:34page. And before we drop down into this video, I think a little
- 1:41bit of our recap is in order because it's been a few weeks since the
- 1:46last time we listened to it, so I just wanted to remind everybody as
- 1:49we were going through there were some different things that we've noticed in the last
- 1:57few sessions watching in this video, and the first one being that somewhere along
- 2:05the line we may have forgotten, but psychologists used to know. They used
- 2:08to understand that little boys needed to be little boys before they could be men,
- 2:15and they needed to be loved and to know they were loved and to
- 2:21see adults being authentic with them. In modeling, you know, adult maturity
- 2:29and the process that involves like how you handle your emotions, how you handle
- 2:35your interests, and all of these things were being denied this child, and
- 2:40as a result, he was using tantrums and assaults on other people to deal
- 2:47with conflict and to deal with being denied things that he wanted. And so
- 2:54it's it's interesting to see psychologists from the sixties approaching this problem versus the toxic
- 3:02masculinity narrative of today, where we just hear feminists telling us, well,
- 3:08boys, boys are toxic because you know, they are stoic, they're taught
- 3:13to be to be selfish, they're taught to be different than girls, and
- 3:19that girls are wrong and blah blah blah. Well, that doesn't seem to
- 3:23be the issue with this kid. Nobody has done that with him. The
- 3:27problem has been obviously a lot of it has been that his mother doesn't show
- 3:35him a lot of affection, which I do look at this mom and I
- 3:39think maybe she is, if not, if not structurally in the brain autistic,
- 3:50probably socially manipulated by the way that her class culture is to be have
- 3:59like a person who is autistic, to suppress things that are normal, natural
- 4:03parts of human relationships, and to be very poised and controlled, which from
- 4:15my upbringing is just not normal, right, like women women can have dignity
- 4:20without doing that. So we we we have a bad sad thing. I
- 4:29hope you don't read the chat. Well that should answer answer your question.
- 4:35Yes, we we do. I don't always keep up with it as well
- 4:42as I should, but I do my best. And so it's I'm using
- 4:48two computer screens here, I'm using I have a laptop and a desktop,
- 4:54and so yeah, then Derek Workman references as long she's as cold as I
- 5:00which that that's fitting. You know that that's that's actually really fitting because she
- 5:06does seem like a very cold, not just cool, calm and collected,
- 5:11but cold person And it may be that she is suppressing a more of a
- 5:19like hyper feminine, hysterical type personality and that might be why she acts like
- 5:25this. She's gone a full one eighty and then gone too far. And
- 5:30that's that's I've seen that historically with women, and that's that's I don't know.
- 5:36You could say it has something to do with feminism, but it's it
- 5:40has more to do with guynescentrism, in the idea that women should have controlled
- 5:45over every social situation, whether they're they have themselves under control or not and
- 5:51and to that end, women have to have their cells and control in ways
- 5:57that are detrimental to their uh socialnection with other people. So but in any
- 6:03case, I don't know, you guys think there's anything I missed that I
- 6:08should have pointed out about this that that you guys have observed. No,
- 6:15that's that's pretty much straightforward. I have something that I want to bring up
- 6:21after we get through this, because I really want to get through it and
- 6:28talk about the type of mothers that we see today as opposed to Yeah,
- 6:33that's true, that's my point. Okay, Well I will get it started.
- 6:39It's we've got six minutes left of it, and uh, you know,
- 6:43we'll discuss the video and then we'll end the show. So this this
- 6:46could be a normal length show, or it could be a short show.
- 6:49We'll see what happens. Come on, play there we go. Now I
- 7:01have selected the right settings and everything, and it is been it's probably because
- 7:12of the changes YouTube has made. Come on, like your little boy to
- 7:19be Peter, like a little boy and protected from the alligator that's in him.
- 7:26I guess this is best done by beginning to accept the little weak part
- 7:31of the little boy that's in there, which is rather lovable. But this
- 7:36hasn't been developed enough yet. Perhaps if the mother sees the need, she
- 7:42seems to be prepared to deal with this part of him. Again, she
- 7:49has the same patterns that he has in a different way, but I guess
- 7:57without realizing that she's probably have been exposing him to it's rather aggressive way of
- 8:07dealing with things. The point is they need help or they need help.
- 8:09Yes, this family was really in a very tight jam and they need something
- 8:18or somebody to see that there were other ways of living and the way that
- 8:22they have been living. Otherwise, the boy couldn't have lasted in school or
- 8:26gone through school. Perhaps well, this may have been his way of letting
- 8:28everybody know that there's something wrong and some health had to be given to him.
- 8:33This is a symptom, and he's crying out to get the pain relieves,
- 8:39so to speak. He is seven months. This is something that hugely
- 8:46we've forgotten as a society with boys and young men, that when they act
- 8:54out in ways that are you know, contrary to social norms and contrary to
- 9:03effective and I guess functional social relationships as opposed to like conflict and problems between
- 9:16people that it's usually a symptom of something that needs to be changed, a
- 9:24symptom of either a psychological disorder or an environmental you know disorder, something that's
- 9:31caused by abuse or neglect, or being mistreated in you know, in school,
- 9:37being socially isolated, things like that. It's not because masculinity is bad,
- 9:45and it's not because society has molded masculinity in bad ways. It's because
- 9:52we are robbing boys and men of compassion as part of their communities. Community
- 9:58compassion and for women is in broad supply pun intended, right, but it's
- 10:05it's men too. Men have huge community compassion for women as a population.
- 10:13They do everything for us, but compassion for boys and men is definitely in
- 10:22a huge shortage. The silence is deafening. Yeah, And I think we
- 10:31keep talking about stories of people who explode. I guess would be the thing
- 10:41pressure builds up of one type or another, and it's it's usually young men
- 10:48and teenage boys that make headlines for this in a school shooting or a public,
- 10:56very public suicide, or some you know, some situation where there's a
- 11:03murder, suicide and things like that in their home. And when we end
- 11:09up talking about this stuff, you know, people bring up in particular,
- 11:15psychologists and other feminists will bring up the so called masculinity crisis, and they'll
- 11:20they'll bring up their ideas of toxic masculinity, and then they'll bring up the
- 11:28reticence of boys and men to cooperate or even seek out treatment for psychological illness
- 11:37or conditions. But when they go seek treatment, they don't get what we
- 11:43saw here in this video. They get condemnation, they get lectured, they
- 11:50get treated like they're the bad guy, not like they're in need of something
- 11:54to change their trajectory, but like their trajectory is a deliberate offense against their
- 12:01community that they chose with no extenuating circumstances contributing to it. And it's sad
- 12:11because basically what that amounts to is us throwing them away, like here,
- 12:18this one's garbage. Let's crumple him up and stick him in the bin.
- 12:20And and anything that he hurts, anyone that he hurts, any environment that
- 12:26he damages in his explosion right and his self destruction when he goes off,
- 12:35that's just collateral damage. And will exploit it politically, And that's the attitude
- 12:41our culture seems to take. If we could get back to this where we
- 12:46recognize that boys need to be loved first, and to be treated as human
- 12:56beings and in particular as children whenever going up, and that when they engage
- 13:03in dysfunctional behavior, it is not an affront to society, it's a cry
- 13:09for help. We might actually be able to reduce these incidents significantly. Yeah,
- 13:18I mean, that would be nice, but you know that's not the
- 13:22message that we give them. It's it's not only that you're bad and wrong
- 13:26for being the way that you are, but if you don't conform, then
- 13:33then we really have no use for you. You know, you have to
- 13:37to reject everything that you know and that you know what I mean, You
- 13:43have to reject your whole self just so that you can belong to this a
- 13:50morphisic cloud of society, you know what I mean. You have to conform
- 13:54and you can't be an individual. It's it's disgusting. I mean, you
- 14:01can't be a boy. No, you know that's the sad part if you
- 14:05want to be part of society. You know what we're seeing modern modern culture
- 14:13tell boys that enact these cries for help as well. You know, you're
- 14:18gonna just stop being a boy. We can't accept you like that. And
- 14:22I think a lot of in a lot of ways, that's really a driving
- 14:28force for you know, a lot of transitioning, a lot of identifying as
- 14:35trends that we're seeing boys get told that their defective, their masculinity is defective.
- 14:46Being a boy makes them defective, Being male makes them bad and wrong
- 14:52in an in front to society. Well, their only solution is to stop
- 14:56being male, right, or just be gay, you know, take themselves
- 15:03out. They either stop being or they stop being male. And you know,
- 15:09and and and so you get male feminists that that are self hating,
- 15:13that are condemning all men, use feminism to browbeat everyone around them, and
- 15:20and and use it to excuse their dysfunction. Or you get you know,
- 15:24boys that push back and most of the time they're okay. Or you get
- 15:30boys that become part of the rainbow alphabet mafia, right, or or you
- 15:39get suicide factor in the epidemic of male suicide. Yeah, I was just
- 15:50one way or the other. That's that's almost where you end up, you
- 15:54know, and and the statistics just bear that out. And you know,
- 15:58we wonder what we don't even wonder. We don't even care, well,
- 16:03not we, not us, not y'all. But you know, they don't
- 16:08care about these young men just killing themselves. They don't care about that.
- 16:14It's not it's a problem when girls are starting to their numbers of suicide are
- 16:21starting to increase, that's a problem. Oh my god. We need to
- 16:25figure out why women are starting to kill themselves more often. Yeah, yeah,
- 16:32yeah, and then see Derek what workmen pointed out, but wrap it
- 16:37on set. Gender dysphoria is often female to male that that is a result
- 16:41from a set of factors that comes from feminism as well, Like girls are
- 16:47now being told in school by feminists that boys have everything. There's a thing
- 16:53called male privilege that they're excluded from being, you know, a girl make
- 17:00their life harder, and there's a a narrow Now. It used to be
- 17:07that there was a very wide definition of femininity that you could I could I
- 17:11could be you know, uh a cargo shorts wearing tree climbing, football playing
- 17:18sports photographer and and an athlete and uh not cry when I got injured and
- 17:26and things like that, get into fistfights with other girls and and be fascinated
- 17:33with mechanical things, and and right on down the line as a little girl
- 17:37and still be considered feminine, not be made fun of for wearing a dress
- 17:42to church, not be made fun of for wanting ribbons and bows, you
- 17:48know, like having pink cargo shorts and a big pink bow in my hair
- 17:55didn't seem like a contradiction, right and uh, and now that was normal
- 18:00today. If I was a a zoomer going through school, somebody would have
- 18:08approached me and said, you probably are a boy trapped in a girl's body
- 18:14because you do all these things, and all of that femininity that you're trying
- 18:18to mimic is just fake. Like you don't really like bows and dresses and
- 18:23lace and so on high heels. No, you don't. You don't really
- 18:27like those. You can't because you're interested in mechanical things and girls aren't.
- 18:33Right, Like, that's that's basically a huge step back, in my opinion,
- 18:41we should be going the other direction. We should be saying that being
- 18:45interested in baking and homemaking and things like that don't make a boy unmanly.
- 18:56Being more artistic instead of mechanically it doesn't make a boy unmanly. Liking to
- 19:03look snazzy and jazzy and nice. Doesn't make a boy unmanly, right,
- 19:08those that's where we should be going, But instead we've polarized it, and
- 19:12now we have this epidemic, just absolutely epidemic problem of kids with identity crises
- 19:23that are resorting to trying to shove all of their identity crises, which are
- 19:30inflicted by all of this, these mixed messages into the little box of what
- 19:37must be genderedice for you, and I'm trans, or I'm non binary,
- 19:41or I'm pan sexual or you know, like, it's not that they're all
- 19:48comparable. I consider non binary and pan sexual to be made up things,
- 19:52completely made up things that just happened, whereas being trans was made up a
- 19:57long time ago. And and it may and it's it's gender dysphoria may be
- 20:04real, but the solution that we've applied to it is butchery, and it's
- 20:11not helping people the way that it was expected to. So it's but it's
- 20:18all. It's all. It traces back to this influence of feminism, where
- 20:26we and from every angle, masculinity is condemned, femininity is praised, masculinity
- 20:33is made larger than life, and femininity is shrunken down to victimhood of masculinity,
- 20:45and it fuels both both sexes uh dysphori dysphoria and and foe dysphoria as
- 20:53well. Do you remember back in the day, you know, you and
- 20:59I are both of a certain age. Do you remember when it like taboo
- 21:03to or like the kid that had the divorced parents. It was kind of
- 21:07like that was the interesting thing about the kid, you know what I mean,
- 21:11And and it started happening more and more and sort of like you know,
- 21:17it evolved and coming from a split home wasn't as taboo anymore. It
- 21:22was just kind of the norm, you know what I mean, And the
- 21:26kids kind of just learned to deal with with that in their own, you
- 21:30know ways. And you know then it was well, now my mom's dating
- 21:36a woman, and so your mom you have two moms, you know what
- 21:41I mean. It's just this evolution of of wow, what's I'm saying this
- 21:49wrong? And I'm gen X had this journey and we ended up becoming people
- 21:56who recognize that you are not responsible for your family's baggage, right, You're
- 22:03not responsible for your family shit like for for instance, yeah, your parents
- 22:08are divorced and your situation sucks, but it doesn't reflect on you, like
- 22:14you're still picked in whatever order you were going to be picked for for dodgeball,
- 22:21for instance, you know, yeah, like I was. I went
- 22:25from early in middle school, I guess you would call it, which was
- 22:32just the in developmentary school for my age group. We didn't we didn't have
- 22:36middle school. I don't know if it existed in bigger cities, but where
- 22:38I grew up, the community wasn't big enough for that. So about fifth
- 22:44or sixth grade, the kids suddenly started to realize that even though I wasn't
- 22:49great at the throwing part, I was superb at the dodging part, and
- 22:56so I would still be one of the last people because I did things that
- 23:00were kind of acrobatic. I could run up the walls and jump over people.
- 23:04So it was like this weird, weird kid that and you know I
- 23:15had I watched other kids. There were kids in my class that were divorced,
- 23:19and people knew, you know, well, you know so and so
- 23:22can't come over and play this week because they're at mom's house or they're at
- 23:26dad's house. And we had one classmate that lived with grandparents because the parents
- 23:33couldn't get along well enough to have custody and their behavior toward each other had
- 23:40been harmful to the child, and one of their parents sets of parents was
- 23:45like, all right, fuck this, We're going for custody, and the
- 23:48court gave the grandparents custody because the grandparents proved to the court that they would
- 23:55provide a more stable environment, loving and nurturing environment for the child the parents
- 24:00and which was which was interesting, you know, because they're the ones that
- 24:06raised one of those parents. But in any case, what we didn't know
- 24:12for years was that it wasn't because the parents were dead. You know.
- 24:15We thought, oh, well, you know, she must have lost her
- 24:18parents as a kid. And then I think we might have been in junior
- 24:22high or high school before most of us most of the class found out,
- 24:26No, her parents are just assholes. You know, well that's not her
- 24:30fault. Like you learn that and nothing changes, right, right. So
- 24:36I think the mistake that gen X made in teaching our children was we were
- 24:44kind of we were raised by people that invented the concept, I guess,
- 24:48of different strokes for different folks people. You accept people for who they are,
- 24:52and you deal with people on the level of who they are. Even
- 24:57if you have somebody that's a habitual liar, all right, well this person
- 25:02is a habitual liar. We're not gonna hate them for it, but we're
- 25:06not gonna trust them, right, We're just gonna we're gonna have the relationship
- 25:10we can have with them, and we're not gonna try to have a relationship
- 25:12with them as if there's somebody else. And that was that was the Flower
- 25:18generation, Flower Power generation, sort of the end of the boomers and all
- 25:23right, so we get raised in that mentality and we get you know,
- 25:33like even we even had a TV show growing up with that as the title
- 25:37Different Strokes, and that was based on that whole idea. Right, So
- 25:41we we ran with that with this understanding of all right, people are who
- 25:47they are. You know, do you have the relationship you can have with
- 25:49people? You take them at face value, You don't pretend that they're better
- 25:53than they are, and you don't condemn them for things that are beyond their
- 25:59control. Like their family has an asshole. Okay, so their family has
- 26:02an asshole. So does your body? Do you condemn your face because your
- 26:06body has an asshole? You know? No? So we we sort of.
- 26:12That's one of the reasons why we felt like we had made great strides
- 26:18of progress in suppressing racism and sexism and all of the other isms right and
- 26:26phobias and blah blah blah. We didn't care. We got we got to
- 26:32the point where we didn't care if you were gay, we didn't care if
- 26:33you were trans, We didn't care where your ancestors came from or what religion
- 26:40they grew up with, and all of that. As long as you didn't
- 26:41pull shit on us and do shit to us, you know, that was
- 26:47that was all good. You just you be you, you do you will
- 26:51do us. We'll have the relationship we can have and we won't try to
- 26:56have the relationship we can't have. And that worked until we had kids and
- 27:02try to teach it to them and communicated it badly and went way overboard with
- 27:07helicopter parenting. And there's such a failure. And we didn't let our kids
- 27:17fall right. We didn't let our kids fuck up. We didn't let our
- 27:22kids taste pain and suffering and fight it out with each other and learn to
- 27:30value negotiation, because beating each other up hurts no matter who wins the fight,
- 27:38Like we as a generation failed miserably on that. There's only a small
- 27:44percentage of us that were like, stop doing that, that's bad, you
- 27:48know, don't punish the whole class when Brad and Johnny get into a fight
- 27:55because Brad is angry and hits Johnny, And don't punish Johnny for responding,
- 27:59for defending himself, like you know, And and don't stop the fight unless
- 28:04it gets out of hand and they're seriously injuring each other. Let them figure
- 28:10out that talking it out is better than duking it out, like we stopped
- 28:18our parents. Let that happen. Our parents let us come home from school
- 28:21and be alone for half an hour, you know, when we were ten
- 28:25or eleven years old. Nine sometimes and and I mean I had a neighbor
- 28:29that was a latch key kid when he was five, Jesus, you know,
- 28:33he would come home, make himself a sandwich and sit in front of
- 28:37the TV and do his homework or not. You know, he might not
- 28:40do tells his mom got home and said, did you do your homework?
- 28:44But and you know, and there were problems with that. But he also,
- 28:48I mean he's marine now. So yeah, there's there's a lot that
- 28:55we screwed up. Yeah, and it it does differentiate us dramatically from the
- 29:02understanding that we have now. And that's part of the reason why we have
- 29:06all these idiot ideas about gender and masculinity. Thank you, thank you,
- 29:11You like landed the play for me. I was just that is where exactly
- 29:15where I wanted to go and say that this is, this is That was
- 29:18where the foothold for this identity politics really I think took place. And you
- 29:29know that's why you won't see psychologists actually trying to honestly observe a child days.
- 29:38I mean, for many other reasons, but you know, imagine,
- 29:42imagine trying to do this job. You can't fix a problem if you can't
- 29:49properly diagnose, diagnose it, and if you're being if you're being given all
- 29:56of these You know, in my line of business, there's a thing called
- 30:03troubleshooting, right, So you start with one place, and then you go
- 30:07to the next obvious thing, and then you go to the next obvious thing,
- 30:11and if all of those are wrong, then you go here, and
- 30:14then you go there, and and I think those rules have been just misinformed
- 30:21by all this feminist fucking destruction, and and here we are. Yeah,
- 30:30you know, healthcare has. Health care has the same thing. Right when
- 30:37you have a condition that you go for treatment of this condition like this sucks,
- 30:41I don't let's change it, you know, the Beavis epiphany, This
- 30:48sucks, change it, h And you go to the doctor, sit in
- 30:52the doctor's office and you tell the doctor I have these symptoms, and you
- 30:56lay out the symptoms. Your doctor doesn't just pronounce you know, well,
- 31:03we're gonna give you this pillow. It's all better if you've got a good,
- 31:06decent doctor. Anyway, they don't do that, like they look at
- 31:10your environmental causes. They look at your potential genetic causes, your diet or
- 31:18exercise, your behavioral causes. You know, is this chemical? And unfortunately
- 31:23in psychology we don't have very many good doctors anymore. So you come along
- 31:30and you're dealing with depression, they give you prozac. They don't unless you
- 31:37come out with all right, I'm going through this situation and I've identified it
- 31:44as the cause of my depression. And they still might prescribe you prozac,
- 31:49you know, or some other serotonin reuptake inhibitor, but they don't necessarily deal
- 31:56with well, how do you resolve the situation that is causing your depression.
- 32:00Yeah, and so when boys and men go in there and say, I'm
- 32:06unable to connect with the opposite sex, I can't find a girlfriend, I
- 32:12can't even make friends with girls. I'm outcast and lonely, that's they don't
- 32:17view that as you know, you're right that that would cause problem. Let's
- 32:22look at why these things are happening to you and what we can do to
- 32:25change your situation for the better. And so they end up prescribing drugs and
- 32:32telling them what's because your masculinity is toxic. That's it. You don't get
- 32:37to you don't get to solve the problem. You're just going to have to.
- 32:40It's toxic that you can't just reconcile yourself with being lonely forever. How
- 32:46dare you? You're being entitled? But you know, if a girl goes
- 32:52in there with the same problems, Oh, you know, I can't connect
- 32:53with boys, I'm lonely, Well, maybe you have this going on,
- 32:57Maybe they're mean, maybe you have maybe you're an abuse victim. You know
- 33:01there's something wrong with them. Yeah, you do love and and that's that's
- 33:07the sad thing. So, yeah, we end up with this. We've
- 33:12forgotten everything these people knew. Yeah, yeah, the disconnect is is just
- 33:20so Yeah. So see what else they've got to say. I might have
- 33:31to do this every time. Yeah, I'm going to have to do this
- 33:35every time music. Dude, I don't understand, Like I've said it,
- 33:45at the least memory hungry setting the computer should not be doing any kind of
- 33:53update anything. Everybody else. Mother talks with the psychiatrist who has dealt with
- 33:57the problem, Dr June Cumberland, How do you seek sleep? Now?
- 34:01Completely changed, to say the very least. When he describd well, he's
- 34:07much more relaxed. He concentrates on more. I think his whole personality has
- 34:15changed entirely. Well, certainly I have been aware of the change. He
- 34:19was able to sit here for today or or well over half an hour without
- 34:22really insisting that he do a tremendous amount of things, and he could play
- 34:28in in some kind of a constructive way. Finding is due to his schooling
- 34:32and due to his assist to you, and maybe in another sense, due
- 34:38to the environment that I've tried to change, knowing when I recognized what had
- 34:43to be done in way. So it's interesting, like what they basically described
- 34:50here. The things that they were objecting to get labeled attention deficit hyperactivity disorder
- 34:55in boys a lot today and they drug them for and they don't address anything
- 35:01in the home. But notice what the mom did, Like she gave everybody
- 35:07else credit first and then talked about the environment that she's changed in the home.
- 35:14Yeah, not describing it, but vaguely mentioned it. When you know,
- 35:21watching the video, I would say the primary problem was, like the
- 35:28environment that she created in the home. I would agree with that. I
- 35:31would agree with that. I think maybe what she's doing here is just maybe
- 35:37trying to show gratitude and giving them the credit first before herself because you know,
- 35:45I don't know way it does take a lot of work on behalf of
- 35:50everyone involved with the child. But yeah, no, she definitely I don't
- 35:53want to know what she changed. I want to know what happened in the
- 35:58house. And that's yeah. The other thing, like we're just seeing them
- 36:02interview them, but you don't know what the day to day is like that
- 36:06you don't have a camera in the living room with them. You know,
- 36:09it's not like reality quote unquote reality TV that you see these days, you
- 36:15know, so I'm curious to know what she actually changed, and maybe she
- 36:23should give herself more credit. Maybe that was part of the problem in the
- 36:29first place. Is that maybe she just didn't feel like she didn't feel empowered.
- 36:36Yeah, maybe maybe the kids finally reaching that age where he really means
- 36:39his dad around more often. We haven't heard that much from that part of
- 36:44the story. Year The dad is around, but he spends a lot of
- 36:46time at work, and we don't know whose fault that is. We don't
- 36:51know how much work he has to do and how if he'd rather spend more
- 36:53time with the kid, or if he's just as cold as as as the
- 37:00mother. But yeah, I think kids before the age of I want to
- 37:06say, four or five generally just need the coddling of a mother's. When
- 37:10they reach this sort of very active age where they start climbing all over shit
- 37:14and discovering their hands and their fists and all that sort of stuff, well
- 37:19it really helps for them to have not just two parents, but the presence
- 37:23of two parents as much as possible. It's just my it's just my pop
- 37:30psychological hypothesis. I you know, what I found with with parenting from the
- 37:37angle of a parent from being able to remember a lot farther back in my
- 37:42life than it is normal is it's further involvement goes all the way back to
- 37:49infancy. You know, in a household where the parents are married, they
- 37:53live together, their team, they work together to raise their children. I
- 38:00you know, I can remember how my dad nurtured my ability to not be
- 38:08terrified of thunderstorms. I remember watching the thunderstorm thunderstorm like a show through the
- 38:16picture window in the family room of our old house. I must have been
- 38:21around four years old because we had moved to the community I mostly grew up
- 38:28in. And I remember him reinforcing something that he must have taught me earlier
- 38:35that it wasn't traumatic, so I don't remember it. Like my memories from
- 38:38really early childhood, I think the reason I remember them is because they were
- 38:43traumatic, Like the time my dad had to drive you know, top speed
- 38:47to the hospital when I had an asthma attack and the cop that drove around
- 38:53us and led us through Lima, Ohio with lights and sirens to get us
- 38:58there just in time. But in any case, yeah, I like Mom
- 39:05wasn't the person that handled that. That was Dad, And I can remember
- 39:08that and I remember, you know, my son. There's a process when
- 39:14you get a toddler used to not being not falling asleep with the parent in
- 39:24the room, not having to have the parent in the room in order to
- 39:30fall asleep, Like they get put to bed and they stay in bed and
- 39:34they go to sleep when you're out of the room. Because when you have
- 39:37a baby, you nurse the baby and you rock the baby, and the
- 39:42baby goes to sleep, and you know, you swaddle the baby and do
- 39:45all this and the baby goes asleep and the baby then gets laid down and
- 39:50you walk away. So that process is called ferberizing because the guy that came
- 39:55up with it is Ferber. And it's basically, you listen to the baby
- 40:00cry, uh and and don't coddle when they cry. You can stand nearby
- 40:08and reassure you're okay and you're safe, but not you don't pick them up.
- 40:15You don't. You have they have to learn that being upset about just
- 40:20not being picked up and cuddled to sleep doesn't doesn't get them cuddled to sleep
- 40:23anymore. Yeah, and that mom and dad are still there and it's damn
- 40:30near impossible to do that without a dad because Mom's heart gets ripped out,
- 40:38like it's having the discipline to not pick up the baby. Really is is
- 40:44you need to people or you need to be so exhausted that that you can't
- 40:49respond, which is what I think happens with a lot of single moms that
- 40:53they don't they don't not respond out of self discipline. So dad's it's to
- 41:00a lot of mom needs dad and the baby needs dad. And it was
- 41:06my husband's voice, not mine, that helped my son sort of acclimate himself
- 41:15to I can do this without being held. I can go to sleep,
- 41:20I can relax and go to sleep. I'm still safe even if I'm not
- 41:24being held. Yeah, and that's and it. I don't know how single
- 41:30moms handle that. I I don't know. I don't. I don't know.
- 41:36Maybe their kids sleep with them until they're much older and they can actually
- 41:40have a discussion about it. Yeah, but that's yeah, that's it's important
- 41:46to the child for dad to be involved way back at the beginning, and
- 41:52it's dad that teaches the kid to get a handle on things like panic and
- 42:00rage and stuff like that. Well, we're going to process this. They
- 42:02got to see mom doing it too. But you know, Dad's vital.
- 42:07But yeah, back then, especially like, there's a lot of clues in
- 42:12this that they have high income my bet. My guess is especially if she
- 42:19is a homemaker, which is that was still pretty common in the sixties,
- 42:23especially middle and upper class families. Like women didn't have to work, so
- 42:30most of them like their work was making the home environment the best they could
- 42:37do. And so if there was a lot of money being earned, it
- 42:42was being earned by the father, and in that time period a lot of
- 42:46times that involved very long work hours, so he may not have been able
- 42:54to get time off to be part of this. I don't remember if we
- 42:59saw the father at all in this. It's been a long time since the
- 43:02last time I watched it all the way through. I just it just happened
- 43:07to come back up in my feet and I'm like, why have we not
- 43:09examined this? And that's kind of why I end up ended up putting it
- 43:14because I remembered it was good. But yeah, yeah, he was there,
- 43:19but very briefly. I mean, we really didn't get much from him,
- 43:22but he was. He was interviewed for it for this, okay,
- 43:28and it's for me. I just I look at it, you know,
- 43:32it's normal in the sixties for us to not see what the father's contributions are.
- 43:42They're kind of invisible to the rest of the public. The mother is
- 43:46sort of the face of nurturing in the family, and the father ends up
- 43:51being the person who does his part without being honored for it. But but
- 44:01yeah, we'll see what we have next. Come on, there goes the
- 44:13I wonder what's going on with my freaking computer because this this has to be
- 44:16an issue with it's downloading something or you know whatever. There you go.
- 44:27Well, I find that he doesn't like to be screamed at, not that
- 44:30any child does, but if you speak to him in a normal way and
- 44:36very nicely, he's led to be. He reacts far better his hottle.
- 44:40If you so she was so she was screaming at him, Yeah, basically
- 44:52like, yeah, I've heard mothers do that. And then there's there's another
- 45:01one that that I've heard, you know, and it's sort of the the
- 45:07single mom putting the fear of God into the child, where you know,
- 45:13mother is the word for God and and it's it can work if you're relying
- 45:21on authority, but it can also handicap your child mentally. And psychologically,
- 45:29like the mom voice is scary when when the child is being defiant, and
- 45:35the mom voices scary when the child is doing something stupid that you have to
- 45:39stop immediately, like don't run out in front of that truck, you dumbass,
- 45:45you know which. Like, so I heard the mom voice because I
- 45:50was that kid that acted first and regretted later. That's why I ended up
- 45:52with third degree burns on my foot. But I don't think I ever heard
- 45:59any use it on my son or my stepdaughters. Yeah. And then there's
- 46:08then there's the mom voice that mom uses when dad's not around. Well,
- 46:14and that one's the scary one because that that that's that's the different kind of
- 46:20mom that you know what I mean, When dad's around, she she doesn't
- 46:22act that way, but she uses the voice of the bus driver from South
- 46:30Park. Yeah, that's that's not how you don't. I don't know.
- 46:40You don't. You don't. If you're screaming at your kids all the time,
- 46:45you're not doing something right, You're not. They're not learning from you.
- 46:49Yeah, but it's it's I think I did use the moment, but
- 46:52it wasn't on my kid. It was on Carly Ellison. Oh jeez,
- 46:59why I've used them all voice Ellison twice, I remember that once shiells down
- 47:05my spine. Yeah, I don't. I don't pull that voice out very
- 47:09often. I guess for the same reason that you don't run around pointing a
- 47:15gun at people. It's not it's it's it's terrifying. But you said,
- 47:21you said something. You said that he's not learning when she does that,
- 47:23But he is learning. Well, yeah, he is learning. He's learning
- 47:28how to react in the precise way that she doesn't want him to. Yeah,
- 47:32he's learning bad habits. Yeah, and it just fuels the fuels the
- 47:38behavior. It's a vicious cycle. But yeah, And I mean, everybody
- 47:45gets mad, right you You can't deny as a human being that you get
- 47:50mad, even even the even the Bible described Jesus getting mad right then.
- 48:00And when Jesus got mad, he flipped tables and threw everybody out of the
- 48:04church. So for for all of us, as just ordinary human beings,
- 48:12like whatever you think of you know, this is this is a myth,
- 48:14this is this is the son of God. This is a human being that
- 48:16was deified. Whatever your beliefs are. The description in the Bible is intended
- 48:23to be of a deity in human form, a higher being with a higher
- 48:29mentality and a higher psychology. And he still had a limit where you know,
- 48:38all right, this, this is where you know he snaps. And
- 48:44so obviously we all have permission to have a limit. We all have permission
- 48:47to get mad. It's just it's our job, especially when you're dealing with
- 48:52someone you love, to try to have a functional reaction to that. Like
- 49:00you definitely don't want to flip tables and throw your three year old out of
- 49:04the house. Yeah no, no, you did not, unless you want
- 49:12to make the headline news the next day. Yeah. Oh, so let's
- 49:19see what's next. A momentous change in him. And of course he's got
- 49:27much older, he understands more. Oh, I just take him aside and
- 49:30say, look here, if you don't do this, you know, mom
- 49:32is going to be very angry and he's going to do it. And that's
- 49:35the end of it. And if I'm not interrupted to succeed, if Daddy
- 49:38doesn't say yes, and he can't go through life wanting everything and getting everything
- 49:44and just smiling and saying, well, I'm going to ask my daddy,
- 49:45He's going to get it for me. He has to know there has to
- 49:49be a limit, and I've tried to set a minute, but it's never
- 49:52been kept. What happens really is that Phillies plays you and Daddy off against
- 49:57each other very often many but you and your husband haven't been able to come
- 50:01together to try and help by getting together to try and help sleep. No,
- 50:08has he been aware of the changes in sleep or would he say he's
- 50:12much the same. No, he thinks leep's improved tremendously. Oh, here
- 50:22we go. He's he's still definitely a little boy. He's only like several
- 50:28months older, not several years older. There's it's amazing how much they change
- 50:35though in that little amount of time, especially when they're really little, Like
- 50:37the changes between four years old, like just four years old and almost five,
- 50:45or between you know, midway through four years old and midway through five
- 50:49years old are amazing. So much changes, and that it's even more dramatic
- 50:57in younger years. And it's it doesn't ever stop being a dramatic series of
- 51:02change until the kid gets out of the house. But it's it's uh,
- 51:09it reduces, it's not as dramatic of a set of changes until you hit
- 51:14adolescents and then all hell breaks loose, you know, for a little while.
- 51:21But this this thing about her and the father not being on the same
- 51:24page, like, ye, there's two things going on there that that are
- 51:30a problem. And one of them is that he he may be too lenient.
- 51:36We don't know, because we don't know what they're what her rule set
- 51:40is and what his rule set is. She may be too strict, and
- 51:46being that she's highly controlled herself, I'm leaning toward her being too strict so
- 51:52that she needs to get more on the same page with him. If that's
- 51:53the case. The other thing is, I wonder if she's like this.
- 52:01I'm pretty sure this started in around the sixties because of the whole feminist thing.
- 52:08I wonder if she's one of those women that had the word obey removed
- 52:13from her wedding vows because it wasn't modern. They did that, They do
- 52:21that now, Yeah, yeah, Like you go into a counseling session with
- 52:24the minister, well, we want to use her own wedding vows, you
- 52:28know, And a lot of times they'll they'll do that, especially the more
- 52:30progressive ministers. But even if you don't use your own wedding vows, like
- 52:37a lot of women do this thing where oh, well I will, I
- 52:39will promise to love, honor and cherish. But I think it's outdated for
- 52:43me to promise to obey, which is her way of saying I don't trust
- 52:52him. Yes, yeah, you can bet. You know. We said
- 53:00across my My uncle in law was our minister for our wedding. We sat
- 53:06across from him and he said, I want you to understand I don't remove
- 53:09obey from the wedding vows, and uh my My response was, well,
- 53:15you shouldn't. You know, I wouldn't even ask. I trust. I
- 53:20trust my husband. I trust him completely, and that means trusting that he's
- 53:28not going to throw his weight around for the sake of throwing his great weight
- 53:30around. Like if he tells me to do something instead of just talking about
- 53:35stuff with me, then he's he's got something going on that he feels very
- 53:39adamantly about. There's a specific, deliberate concern there that he's he's analyzed,
- 53:46and you know I trust his judgment on that. That's not Yeah, they
- 53:55women treat it as a sob servience. It's not a subservience. It's recognize
- 54:05that your husband is fulfilling his protector role, and don't hinder him from doing
- 54:09that. Right, that's that's what that is. Recognize that he's taking responsibility
- 54:15of head of the household, and don't hinder him from doing that. So
- 54:20when she can't get on the same page with her husband, she's probably being
- 54:25pushy about how to raise the kid, and she's not listening, and she's
- 54:34probably not, uh, you know, taking his authority into question. That
- 54:40Tom's was being the head of the household. But I'll bet you at tax
- 54:45time, at bill paying time, and and at time the time when it's
- 54:51uh, you know, necessary for one member of the household to stand between
- 54:55the rest of the household in some threat, she recogniz this is authority then,
- 55:01exactly exactly, And I mean, forgive me if I'm wrong. I
- 55:08could be. I mean, Jesus, I do not remember marriage vows.
- 55:14But don't men and women both have to promise to obey? No, no,
- 55:22not not under at least not in the Christian faith. Okay, that
- 55:27is that is not how it works, right, And and there's a there's
- 55:30a settle Bible verses that go with that. Right, women are you know,
- 55:36are admonished to submit to your husband. Men are admonished to love their
- 55:42wives. Love is self sacrificing right. Love is protective. Love is caring.
- 55:47Love is invested in the other person's welfare. Love is humble, and
- 55:53so women have to The word submit has to be used for women to understand
- 55:59it. Yeah, but when someone tells you to love someone, when you
- 56:02get a commandment to love, you're being told to submit, okay, and
- 56:12so obey means trust. It does. Men are not ordered to trust their
- 56:21wives because it's their job to find a wife they can trust. They can
- 56:27to vet their women for character, and that is something that we aren't even
- 56:30allowed to talk about anymore. What's ruined marriage. Why we have such a
- 56:36high divorce rate in our generation and why it's seventy percent female initiated, is
- 56:42because our parents' generation. One of the ways that they fucked up was teaching
- 56:46us that vetting women for character like you would vet a business partner for character,
- 56:52like you would vet a friend for character, a trusted friend for character,
- 56:58right like you would vet at a comrade you expect to have your back
- 57:02for character, is somehow misogyny. How dare you consider a woman to be
- 57:08capable of less than perfect character, right right, So, yeah, it's
- 57:17and the sixties was kind of the heyday of women deciding that they didn't have
- 57:25to contribute their their trust and their character to the relationship that you make with
- 57:35a partner when you get married. Right, Like there was that existed in
- 57:42the early twentieth century, that existed in the nineteenth century. That happened.
- 57:47Women were doing that. They were building that and growing it, this weed
- 57:54in the garden of marriage, right, But in the sixties, it exploded
- 58:00all over everything just vomited up victriol and just acid and dirt, you know,
- 58:12like somebody planted a bomb in that garden and all of a sudden,
- 58:15everything is covered in shit. And that's you know, the divorce rate skyrocketed,
- 58:22and so did the rate of teenage problems. All of a sudden.
- 58:29In the nineties, we had this epidemic of teenagers ending up in mental health
- 58:34care, you know, mental health institutions and therapy and so on, Like
- 58:39you're seventeen years old and you have so many problems that a psychiatrist has to
- 58:44deal with them. Yeah, and it was common, not rare, like
- 58:50kids would get locked up for weeks or months however long their insurance would cover
- 58:53it. In mental health incident. There were articles about this, like Red
- 58:58Book magazine. I remember when I was young, mom reading about this and
- 59:02parents having their teenagers incarcerated and just keeping them in And part of the problem,
- 59:08you know, was was this environment of animosity between partners in the home.
- 59:17The home environment wasn't working. But part of the problem was that,
- 59:22you know, insurance was being capitalized on too, like that fueled a lot
- 59:24of it. There was a lot of exploitation there too. It still is
- 59:30is Oh yeah, you guys don't know it, but you're all neurotic,
- 59:35and if you walk into a psychiatrist's office right now, they will find something
- 59:38to treat and you will be You'll have problems that they need to treat as
- 59:45long as your insurance will pay for the treatment, and then as you'll miraculously
- 59:51be better as soon as your insurance coverage runs out. Exactly. That's that's
- 59:57true. It's pathetic, but it's true. Can you imagine if oncologists did
- 1:00:05that, Oh, yes, you totally have cancer and you're gonna need these
- 1:00:09chemicals for the next twenty years. No, it's not showing up on any
- 1:00:14kind of testing. We can't test for this. It's an invisible type of
- 1:00:19cancer. It's disgusting, you know. It doesn't really need to be said
- 1:00:25that our healthcare system needs some real reform. And to anybody out there that
- 1:00:31thinks that universal health care or nationalized health care is any better, you're out
- 1:00:38of your mind. It's all shit. It's all shit. You know.
- 1:00:43It's only designed, well, not designed. But the way it's being run
- 1:00:49right now is they want they want a patient for life. That's it.
- 1:00:55Yep. You know. They don't care. They do not care. And
- 1:01:00if you are not you know, god, if you're just not on top
- 1:01:07of it, if you're not paying attention, you can get screwed like you're
- 1:01:14Oh my god, the the they miss bill, these things on insurance quotes
- 1:01:21all of the time, you know, oh my god. It's it's just
- 1:01:27horrendous. And people don't know. They just want to feel better, you
- 1:01:31know, and got it. The way they are raping us is when I
- 1:01:39in my C section, I uh I got I accidentally got the bill.
- 1:01:46It wasn't my accident. They accidentally sent me the bill instead of you know
- 1:01:52that they were going to send to my insurance and uh so I'm I'm looking
- 1:01:58at this because you know, the amount that it was bigger than I expected
- 1:02:02it might copay to be. And it took me a while to figure out,
- 1:02:06oh this is it doesn't it's not what I have to pay, it's
- 1:02:12what the insurance needs to pay. And they sent it to the wrong place.
- 1:02:15So but I'm going through because there were items and everything, and I'm
- 1:02:19looking there was there was medication, and there were more billings for medication than
- 1:02:27there were medications that I had taken because I couldn't stay conscious on pain medicine,
- 1:02:34so like after the first pill they gave me when it knocked me out
- 1:02:38and everything I recovered from my C section without pain medicine because I couldn't stay
- 1:02:44conscious and I didn't want to miss the first days of my kid's life.
- 1:02:47And they they had billed for what they gave me, and they had also
- 1:02:55builled for what they normally give and so I had contacted billing. What's this
- 1:03:01code mean? What drug is this? And they're telling me, well,
- 1:03:06you know this is for this, this is for that, and one of
- 1:03:08them was for til On all three with coding, and I'm like, okay,
- 1:03:15I was not handed Thailand. All three with codine because I wouldn't swallow
- 1:03:22that, and I didn't have an IV at any point in time after the
- 1:03:27after the birth. I know they didn't give it to me while I was
- 1:03:30in labor. It's not any epidural and it says right there on my chart
- 1:03:36that I'm allergic to it. I'm allergic to all opiates. I'm allergic to
- 1:03:44fucking poppy seeds, even from the ones that don't come from the plant that
- 1:03:47the drugs come from. Right, So, I know I didn't take codine.
- 1:03:52So they contact the insurance they build for coadine. I didn't take coding
- 1:03:57they build for codine and the pain medicine that they did give me, and
- 1:04:03so they fixed that. But that happens all the time, and most of
- 1:04:06the time you have no idea because your insurance company pays it and you don't
- 1:04:12get the itemized bill and you don't find out that oh, yeah, they
- 1:04:15said they gave you these drugs that you never took. Yeah, Or they
- 1:04:20said they did this test that was never run, and they said they did
- 1:04:25this procedure that never happened. Yeah. It's different than like going to a
- 1:04:30grocery store and getting a receipt and you go home and you say, all
- 1:04:33right, well I bought that. I bought that, but I don't know
- 1:04:35what this is. I didn't buy that. You know. It's it's so
- 1:04:41different, but it's so similar in the very same way. It's just that
- 1:04:45you don't have the education, the knowledge to read an itemize bill. People
- 1:04:51don't have the wherewithal to even ask for one, you know, and then
- 1:04:56when the bill comes due, it's just, oh my god, this is
- 1:04:58another bill I have to pay. I gotta pay it. Or because medical
- 1:05:01bills you can't. I don't think you can claim bankruptcy. If you,
- 1:05:05yeah, beca medici, you can claim medical bankruptcy, okay, especially if
- 1:05:11you're disabled. In fact, I think you have to have some level of
- 1:05:15disability for that. But you can also do I think medical bills can come
- 1:05:19off with bankruptcy if you you know. And then the other thing is,
- 1:05:25you know a lot of people just put their medical bills on their credit card
- 1:05:27anyway, so the facility gets paid, but you still end up declaring bankruptcy.
- 1:05:34Uh, you know. But yeah, and when it comes to when
- 1:05:40it comes to situations like this, you know, the worst part of it,
- 1:05:45in my opinion, is that what they basically had done was, oh
- 1:05:49see section berth. Okay, here are the standard things that are done.
- 1:05:53And I don't really think they give coding as a standard after birth thing if
- 1:05:58the mother is nursing. But that's what they had. Maybe there weren't.
- 1:06:02Maybe it wasn't as common to nurse in ninety nine as as it was in
- 1:06:09the eighties and the seventies and the fifties and before. I don't know.
- 1:06:15I like it's it is important, but but they just assumed, well,
- 1:06:21there's the standard, this is the standard procedure. We're gonna build for the
- 1:06:24standard procedure. Nothing is listed as abnormal that they did. They didn't list
- 1:06:29having done anything more than the standard procedure, so we don't build for anything
- 1:06:33extra. Oh wait, no, here's this other medication. Well we'll just
- 1:06:36add it onto the bill. They wouldn't have given those medications together. That
- 1:06:40would have killed me. Probably a normal person, it would have knocked him
- 1:06:44out right. But in any case, Yeah, that's I think that's how
- 1:06:49that kind of medical building mistake happens, like, oh, this is what
- 1:06:53we normally do, so we'll build for that. I gotta say, it
- 1:06:58blows me away because you know when thinking about having a kid, it costs
- 1:07:03money. Even if you have insurance, it costs money to have a kid.
- 1:07:09I can't where do these single mothers who keep popping out baby after baby
- 1:07:14after baby? Who is paying these hospital bills for all these kids that are
- 1:07:19being born? Oh, Lauren, you are, I know, our listeners
- 1:07:25are. It's just a beautiful that. It's unbelievable. People who actually care
- 1:07:32and think and plan and prepare a head. We are the ones that get
- 1:07:38fined. We are the ones that have to pay the call. We pay
- 1:07:41the cost for our own children to be born. And on top of that,
- 1:07:45we're still paying for all of these report these god these better kids being
- 1:07:50born every day to the same twenty percent of guys out there, yep.
- 1:07:57And are situation is that you pay for it multiple times, right. You
- 1:08:04pay for the expenses related to bringing kid into the world. You pay for
- 1:08:11the Health and Human Services Department, You pay for the the funding that gets
- 1:08:19you know, sent to these mothers from the various agencies within the Health and
- 1:08:25Human Services Department, and then you pay for the child's education you know,
- 1:08:32in your community. And you also pay for systems that are designed to not
- 1:08:40help the child if he experiences dysfunction like juvenile detention facilities. Right, and
- 1:08:47then if the child doesn't get the child rearing he needs and the help he
- 1:08:53needs and so on, then you pay for is welfare. If he goes
- 1:09:01on programs with health and Human Services, or if he gets sucked into the
- 1:09:06mass incarcerations system, you pay for that. You pay for the extra security
- 1:09:14that's needed in your community because of the failures of these parents and the failures
- 1:09:21in child rearing. You pay for services we need as a community to protect
- 1:09:29your home and to rehabilitate people, and to have a war between our hired
- 1:09:39mercenaries as a community, our gang of thugs and the gangs of thugs that
- 1:09:43are selling drugs that make the problem worse. Right, you pay through your
- 1:09:46those most of your tax dollars go to fund the dysfunction of fatherless homes.
- 1:10:00There you go, you pay for a military to defend the United States,
- 1:10:05and then they send them to war in other countries that have conflicts that should
- 1:10:12have nothing to do with us. And the only reason that they do have
- 1:10:15anything to do with us is because our government has had their fingers in those
- 1:10:18conflicts for years without cause. You know, and other countries might attack us
- 1:10:26because they think we're weak because of the whole fatherless homes problem. There you
- 1:10:30go, well, I mean, yeah, look at what we're doing.
- 1:10:32And this is what I was trying to talk about it in the beginning,
- 1:10:38or what I wanted to talk about in the beginning of the show. There's
- 1:10:43a video of some chick. I don't know why she thought this was a
- 1:10:46good idea, but she posted a video to TikTok. I guess she was
- 1:10:50waking up and she's got three young sons. I think the oldest one was
- 1:10:55like nine, eight and six and whatever, and so they're waking her up,
- 1:11:00and so she's starting the video and they go, yeah, you know,
- 1:11:03mommy, we have to we have to check on you because you know,
- 1:11:08you don't have a man, and so you know, like where your
- 1:11:11young men. We're like, you're a young man where you're Yeah, And
- 1:11:15this is what they're doing. This is what is being created now is the
- 1:11:19son husband generation. Okay, these women are treating their young sons as if
- 1:11:27they have to be the head of the household, the man of the house,
- 1:11:30no matter how young they are. Yeah, and it's it was sickening
- 1:11:38to see in the video because these young minds have just absorbed it as if
- 1:11:45it's just, oh, yes, this is what we're we have to take
- 1:11:48care of mommy. No, little man, your mother and your father are
- 1:11:53supposed to be taking care of you, not the other way around. This
- 1:11:58is completely flipped on its head. You know, you see women talking about
- 1:12:04they are raising their kids to be the young boys. They want them to
- 1:12:13be athletes or young rappers, you know what I mean, just so they
- 1:12:15can get taken care of. It's completely flipped on its head. That's not
- 1:12:21the way this works, lady. And it's all because we have just given
- 1:12:29deference to women, and this is how they want their society. They don't
- 1:12:33want the men in their lives, they don't want the fathers in the household,
- 1:12:38they don't want the men around their children. Okay, well, this
- 1:12:42is what you're raising, and you would have to be would have to be
- 1:12:49of another mind to not know that. Trying to knows this, trying to
- 1:12:57knows what we're raising, trying to know they are we are Russia knows.
- 1:13:05And the reason they know is because the pathway to this was broadened by the
- 1:13:15communist syop on the United States that was effective because women were open to it.
- 1:13:24Yep. So yeah, and they use they use social media to get
- 1:13:30all of your information, so forget it, like we are cooked, we
- 1:13:36are fucking cooked. It's it's partly why I wanted to look back at this.
- 1:13:42This is a simpler time that that this represents. Right, the problem
- 1:13:45in this household, the problem this boy was facing was that his mother needed
- 1:13:50to grow up a little bit. That was the primary issue. She needed
- 1:13:55to stop being so self conscious about how she handled, you know, her
- 1:14:01relationship with her kid and start being more conscious of him and his needs and
- 1:14:09including his need to learn things like how to deal with his emotions productively and
- 1:14:15how she needed to model that. All right, that's and she still is
- 1:14:21part of the problem. There are still going to be problems in that house,
- 1:14:24and there are still things that will need to change based on what she
- 1:14:28just said. Right, That's that's a much easier to remedy problem in a
- 1:14:34time period where women could say I am part of the problem. I need
- 1:14:40to fix these things about myself so that I can help my my family.
- 1:14:45Right today, the problem is that we can't do that, that we've completely
- 1:14:50created an environment of dysfunction, lack of accountability and insecurity for children. Uh
- 1:15:00and and it's the norm now. So yeah, it's it's interesting to look
- 1:15:06back at this and see the difference. Let's let's go on and see the
- 1:15:12kid play a little bit here and see what else they have to say on
- 1:15:15the subject. If I can get this stupid video to play about getting things
- 1:15:23on your hand? Why, I'm afraid my mother's gonna give me a hit?
- 1:15:30Afraid for getting yourself dirty? Yeah? Could you tell her we at
- 1:15:38the paint? I'll tell her the baby, what's you're gonna do? Banker?
- 1:15:51And there's a father after mother? What let me one daddy going to
- 1:15:56do? Thank the mother? And the mother's gonna spake the baby? Well
- 1:16:00he has the h How does the baby feel? Revealing the nuggative inform people
- 1:16:13have fights in your family sometimes? Why? Who fights in your family?
- 1:16:18My mom? Uh huh? And uh huh? And what do you feel
- 1:16:23like when they have an argument? I feel like I'm sad? You feel
- 1:16:28sad inside? Yeah? Do you tell them you feel sad inside? And
- 1:16:31I punish you, I'll feel bad for them. Why do you feel sad
- 1:16:35for them when they punish you? Because I feel fat? Do you ever
- 1:16:41feel angry inside. I sure do. When do you feel angry when they
- 1:16:47when they start to tell me what to do? You don't like to be
- 1:16:50told what to do. No, I'll tell them what to do. So
- 1:16:56you have a couple of things going on there. So the first thing I'm
- 1:17:00going to point out is it's okay for the kids to see mommy and daddy
- 1:17:08having an argument. When mommy and daddy argue with love, here's my perspective,
- 1:17:15what's your perspective. I disagree with your perspective, here are my reasons,
- 1:17:19and then in the end they can resolve it. Oh, I get
- 1:17:25this about your perspective, and oh, thank you for getting this about my
- 1:17:29perspective. And maybe we're going to compromise this way, or maybe we're going
- 1:17:32to do it your way, or maybe you know, you agree, we're
- 1:17:35going to do it my way, you know, and based on what we
- 1:17:41have learned from the discussion with each other about what's important to the other person
- 1:17:45and what information the other person is basing their decision on and everything. And
- 1:17:53that's that's reasonable, right. I saw my parents do that growing up.
- 1:17:57My kids saw us do that growing up. And you can even get impatient
- 1:18:01sometimes you're going to snap at each other in stressful situations. That's not abnormal,
- 1:18:09Like that's normal. It's also important for your kids to see how you
- 1:18:14deal afterwards with that. You know, Mommy snapped it daddy and then said
- 1:18:18I'm sorry that wasn't right. I shouldn't have done that, you know,
- 1:18:23Or Daddy snapped at mommy and then said, I'm sorry that wasn't right.
- 1:18:26I shouldn't have done that, And reassuring each other that you still love each
- 1:18:30other and that that's not the relationship. The way that your relationship is that
- 1:18:35you are mean to each other because you disagree. And unfortunately, in a
- 1:18:41lot of relationships, people's egos get in the way and they don't listen to
- 1:18:45each other, and they don't care as much about the other person's perspective and
- 1:18:51the information on which the other person's decisions are based as they do about getting
- 1:18:58their point across and getting the other person to surrender. And I think that
- 1:19:05that leads to a lot of responses like this kid. The kid is sad
- 1:19:12because he's helpless to remedy the situation, and he knows that something bad is
- 1:19:16going to come out of that behavior, Like can continued conflict, continued animosity,
- 1:19:23yelling, a harsh environment, or divorce. Right, So, and
- 1:19:30he doesn't he doesn't learn. What he learns from them is that when someone
- 1:19:33tells you what to do, when someone contradicts your interests, your beliefs,
- 1:19:41your information, your thoughts, whatever, you get mad. And so that's
- 1:19:47what he does. He gets mad. Play damn it. Nope, they'd
- 1:20:00like there we go, the one who controls everything in your family. I
- 1:20:05like them tremendously ex warm, he says, going. He's charming, a
- 1:20:10little smile when he's happier. He's a delightful little boy to have around.
- 1:20:15He's pride toopen, discuss with them all sorts of things. His comprehension is
- 1:20:21very good and we enjoy having him very much. We have other children and
- 1:20:27with the same problems due to other reasons. But what help. And of
- 1:20:34course they do get sedation medicine to help them to learn to live with themselves
- 1:20:42not be hyperactive. See that started back in the late fifties early sixties.
- 1:20:46But we've seen some wonderful results in the past. They do get sedation.
- 1:20:51She sounds like she's had some sidation. Yeah, but you know it's like
- 1:20:59people, people think, and the kids are the ones going, I want
- 1:21:00to be sedated. No, that was the women, right, women,
- 1:21:06women took to sedation pretty quickly. Where mother's little helper came from? Right,
- 1:21:14But most kids don't need drugged very rarely. Is there something so out
- 1:21:23of balance at that age that they need drugged to change their psychology. Now
- 1:21:30some kids, do you know? Kids need drugged for all all kinds of
- 1:21:34other things, allergies, illnesses that have other like. There was even the
- 1:21:43reason that uh hormones that sort of put off or change the progress of someone's
- 1:21:54puberty, or called puberty blockers, is because they used to use them to
- 1:21:58delay the onset of a girl's period if she started too early. And there's
- 1:22:02there's evidence that starting too early can reduce the length of your life significantly,
- 1:22:11you know. And so it's one thing, you know, she starts at
- 1:22:17like ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen, But occasionally one will start when
- 1:22:24she's eight or younger, and a doctor will prescribe medication to put that off
- 1:22:30for a few years so that she can get older before she her body starts
- 1:22:38putting her through all the things that your body puts you through when it's getting
- 1:22:42ready to conceive. So there's that, but for the most part, you
- 1:22:46don't have to drug kids for most reasons. And when I was growing up,
- 1:22:51I like, Lauren, when you were growing up, did you know
- 1:22:54very many kids that were on a lot of medication. No? None.
- 1:23:01I was the kid that was on a lot of medication. I had steroids
- 1:23:04and and anti histamines and decongestics and all that shit because of my asthma.
- 1:23:11Right, there was there were physical symptoms that were the reason for all of
- 1:23:17that that that were dangerous, you know, like I multiple times my body
- 1:23:23tried to kill itself, just you know, in response to ordinary things.
- 1:23:29But I didn't know anybody personally, I think, until I was in high
- 1:23:38school that had been medicated for attention deficit disorder. No, no, I
- 1:23:43did. I knew one boy and he had been prescribed medication for attention deficit
- 1:23:49disorder and his mom took it to get high, Oh Jesus. And he
- 1:23:58didn't have attention deficit disorder, the classic psychological attention deficit disorder. He had
- 1:24:02a deficit of parental attention. Right, Apparently it's the other attention deficit disorder.
- 1:24:15But I did. I didn't know anybody that actually was prescribed those drugs
- 1:24:20due to the chemical imbalance that that makes it difficult for them to focus and
- 1:24:29uh and needed them for for any length of time till I was in high
- 1:24:32school. That was when I first first met And then the kid wasn't a
- 1:24:36kid that was local to me. This was somebody that I met through being
- 1:24:44being involved in the Great Lakes Interscholastic Press Association. So and I met a
- 1:24:49kid there with ADHD. But yeah, yeah, I've never known anyone that
- 1:24:57that was actually admittedly to me, prescribed or you know anything. But I
- 1:25:03mean, thinking back, I think there might have been maybe one or two
- 1:25:09people who maybe could have benefited, yeah from it, But no, no,
- 1:25:15like when we were the age of high school kids in early college age,
- 1:25:21that's when there was this explosion of schools prescribing Riddlin And I think,
- 1:25:30what's the other one? Adderall came out about that time. It might be
- 1:25:34newer than that, but I think it came out about that time. And
- 1:25:36all of a sudden, there was this constant you're hearing about, you know,
- 1:25:42whole classrooms full of kids, and we've got we've actually got a superchow
- 1:25:45on this Richard Bierre has given us two super chows. The first one was
- 1:25:49five dollars and said, but we enrolled him in the finest boarding schools and
- 1:25:53hired the best nannies, so this shouldn't be happening, you know. And
- 1:25:57then he gave us another five dollars and said, remember when the big diagnoses
- 1:26:00from schools, And it was from schools, by the way, was adhd
- 1:26:04or add and how entire classes, if not schools, were diagnosed as such
- 1:26:08and then also medicated into being compliant students. Pepperidge Farm remembers I remember because
- 1:26:15my dad was very upset about it. You know. It's it was being
- 1:26:20used as a crutch, right, Parents and schools were using it as a
- 1:26:27crutch to avoid having to act as mentors to kids. When we're not going
- 1:26:32to mentor you. We're just gonna make you take these drugs. It will
- 1:26:36be all good. Yeah, I remember that very much. And it's very
- 1:26:44unfortunate that that that happened and continues to happen. So and let's see Meredith
- 1:26:55g gave us five dollars and said, HBr talk to eighty three. By
- 1:26:58making femininitynomous with victimhood, it has devalued it so much that we are taught
- 1:27:02to dislike it. It's why crazy people want to erase gender. My dad
- 1:27:06taught me how to sew and iron because his family worked in the garment industry.
- 1:27:11He also taught me how to fix things around the house and how to
- 1:27:14change attire and check my oil. We need to stop categorizing these skills as
- 1:27:17masculine and feminine and start calling them what my mother called them, life skills.
- 1:27:24Yes, well, my dad, my dad always said, you know,
- 1:27:28I learned to develop film in the dark room, in print pictures,
- 1:27:32to compose properly and capture the right moments in for news publication, in you
- 1:27:41know, events at various events, including sports, even sports that I didn't
- 1:27:45play and didn't know all the rules of, you know, like all the
- 1:27:50ins and outs and everything. I couldn't name every position on a football team,
- 1:27:56even though like as a little kid I played it with the boys.
- 1:27:59The sickly would hand me the ball and say run this way, or they
- 1:28:01would say, you know, knock this person down or stop this person from
- 1:28:05knocking that person down. You know, like that was it. There was
- 1:28:08there was no you are this do this and and because at that age,
- 1:28:14you know, it was like oh yeah, well this, there's another kid
- 1:28:16on our team, where yay, we've got a whole team. Yeah,
- 1:28:21but if we'd have been pig farmers, I'd have learned to raise pigs.
- 1:28:27I'd have been slapping the hogs. You know. If if my parents were
- 1:28:32in medicine, well, hecked, my grandmother was in medicine, and I
- 1:28:35know more about medicine than your average layman because of it. There's a lot
- 1:28:41of stuff that you know, I grew up with medical hand washing as a
- 1:28:45norm in my household. Everything that the public learned about hand washing during the
- 1:28:55COVID crisis, I already knew that well by the time I was five.
- 1:29:00So but yeah, like that's that's that's the norm you teach your kids.
- 1:29:05But not not anymore, you know. Now you teach them that their gender
- 1:29:09is messed up. Richard Bierre gave us five dollars and said, wasn't it
- 1:29:14in the nineteen sixties when a whole lot of housewives for being put on tranquilizers
- 1:29:17or was that the seventies? Actually that started, I want to say the
- 1:29:21early fifties and continued on indefinitely. Like the tranquilizers have changed, but they've
- 1:29:30they were prescribing queludes in the seventies. There are ads in old nineteen seventies
- 1:29:38magazines for how queludes can help you deal with life? Oh, my god,
- 1:29:43not kidding, not kidding. Let's see, there were Oh, there
- 1:29:53were things like you know, thorizine and the other zombie drugs. There were
- 1:29:59barbituates were prescribed. And then of course there was a time period when you
- 1:30:05could get codeine over the counter and you could buy a liquid form and in
- 1:30:11your cough medicine, and women were using that to tranquilize themselves because women are
- 1:30:15naturally pretty neurotic. Uh and uh, especially in compared to men. There's
- 1:30:24there's a there's low grade neuroses that is just part of women's normal psychology.
- 1:30:30The way we panic over stupid things like a critter that is the size of
- 1:30:34your thumbnail showing up in front of you and and and looking all scary because
- 1:30:41it has too many legs, Like you can kill this by stepping on it,
- 1:30:46but you're too scared to approach it because it has too many legs.
- 1:30:50Yeah, then if you look at it up close, it has googly eyes.
- 1:30:55But if you know, you're not gonna get that close because it has
- 1:30:58too many legs. I mean, listen, statistically, I don't like the
- 1:31:01odds. Okay, I'm sorry, I don't like the creepy crawleys. I
- 1:31:08know. Well. I mean I'll do the holy freaking Yuckie spider dance,
- 1:31:11right, the heb GB dance if one is on me. And I wasn't
- 1:31:15expecting it, But I still see it as nonsense, Like why the fun
- 1:31:19do we do that? You can kill this thing by specking it with your
- 1:31:24hand? You know why? Because Australia. I think Australia has ruined us
- 1:31:31for spiders everywhere. It's like everything with anything, it's just trying to kill
- 1:31:36us. Australia gets a bad rap. But have you ever seen a Brazilian
- 1:31:42bird spider? No, I don't want to do. You why they're called
- 1:31:49why? I don't know, but you're gonna tell me it can catch him
- 1:31:57eat small birds. It's a big enough spider like that thing is. You
- 1:32:00know you you killed those spiders and kill them and cook them and eat them
- 1:32:05like crabs? Right? Those are yeah? God yeah, some spiders are
- 1:32:13nasty and poisonous like I it's fair to freak out if you see a brown
- 1:32:16recluse or black widow or red widow or any of those, or oh,
- 1:32:21what's the poisonous one in Australia that gives you a knight of hell. It's
- 1:32:25like the hunter spider or the huntsman or something. Yeah, not to be
- 1:32:29confused with the the the huntsmen in America. That is like basically the daddy
- 1:32:35long legger spider that like they can't do crap. They can't even bite you.
- 1:32:40Their little fangs won't pierce your skin. You can let those little guys
- 1:32:44crawl all over you and nothing will happen. But yeah, yeah, uh,
- 1:32:49and yeah, don't don't look up the bird spider, trust me,
- 1:32:57right, but we freak out over those cute little black jumping spiders that look
- 1:33:03like you know, they were grown in a box, or wolf spiders,
- 1:33:09Like a wolf spider can bite the shit out of you and you'll get some
- 1:33:12itchy red welts, but nothing else will happen unless you're allergic to spider bite.
- 1:33:16You know that that which I'm not oddly enough requitos. Yeah spiders,
- 1:33:24no, right, but we still freak the fuck out over that shit,
- 1:33:28Like we get all hebgb't and hair standing up, and I know that there
- 1:33:32are guys that are agnophobes too, but it's normal for women and guys get
- 1:33:38treated like, you know, what the fuck is wrong with you? Look
- 1:33:41how little it is? Yeah, yeah, so but anyway, I know
- 1:33:45I've gone off on a tangent. So we'll we'll watch the last minute,
- 1:33:50well less than a minute here, and then we'll be done with the video.
- 1:33:54See if we get any more chats. We didn't get any super chats
- 1:33:58or at this point we don't have and he paid rumble rants that I can
- 1:34:00see. I'll look again before closing out, just in case. And uh
- 1:34:06and then and so we may not have super chows to read. Yes,
- 1:34:12the Australian red back spider, Richard Beerre pointed out is related to the black
- 1:34:15Widow. Yeah those are scary too. Let's see play Really there we go
- 1:34:33so long, drawn out the process. It's the same, you know,
- 1:34:36the same formula all over again, just a lot of tender, loving care.
- 1:34:41Philip is a happier boy. For him, for his parents, for
- 1:34:47the school. There is a long way to go, but life is long
- 1:34:51and has many paths. He and his parents and his schools, we'll probably
- 1:34:58find the right one. We don't have that much left so we're not gonna
- 1:35:06play the credits and stuff obviously, but that that interesting thing, nurturing.
- 1:35:13She mentioned nurturing, like, oh, nurturing, as if it was a
- 1:35:21foreign concept to her. Yes, yes, and we discovered this thing.
- 1:35:28It's called nurturing. It's like, oh wow, what a what a novel
- 1:35:33concept. Nurture your boys, nurture their masculinity, and don't condemn it,
- 1:35:41don't treat it like a an affront to society. But but yeah, nurture.
- 1:35:48How strange? I wonder, I wonder, And I'm just going off
- 1:35:55on my own speculation here, but so, you know how she has this
- 1:36:00this animosity with her husband, right, Yeah, you know how they say,
- 1:36:05like single mothers when they look at their children, they kind of resent
- 1:36:11them because they look like the father that left or whatever. I think maybe
- 1:36:15something like that is going on here, right, because she's left to deal
- 1:36:20with this little boy who is a replica of his father. You know,
- 1:36:26she can't get anywhere with his father. She can't scream and argue her way
- 1:36:31into compliance with this little boy. Yeah, and that's I think that was
- 1:36:39I don't know if that even clicked in her brain, but really, I
- 1:36:45don't think it did because you see in the end how she realized that it
- 1:36:49was much easier for her to be nurturing and more caring with the child.
- 1:36:55But she still has the same problems with the husband, the same conflict.
- 1:37:00So this is a this is an issue that it's probably we like to blame
- 1:37:06a lot of things on feminism, but I think it's this, This is
- 1:37:09female nature. Women take an adversarial role against uh people that that they have
- 1:37:18to to compromise with in order to get things done. And it's when it
- 1:37:25comes to your life partnership and and you know, you bring a guy into
- 1:37:30your family by marandam he's now a family member, he's now a part of
- 1:37:34your everyday life. He becomes your biggest adversary. I don't I don't understand
- 1:37:40it, but I recognize that that is common practice. And like it's it's
- 1:37:46one thing, you know, we ras each other. There's there's masculine and
- 1:37:50feminine ways of doing things, and there's masculine and feminine ways of experiencing observing
- 1:37:57things and everything, and you know, like it's it's normal and healthy and
- 1:38:00fine for men and women to look at the way that the opposite sex does
- 1:38:06things and be like, why would you do it that way when it's so
- 1:38:11much easier to do it this way? What the hell is wrong with you?
- 1:38:15We're gonna laugh at that, you know, as long as they're not
- 1:38:17being mean about it or demanding that, you know, you stop doing things
- 1:38:25in a gendered way, like when it comes to you know, if it's
- 1:38:30not harming anybody, it's perfectly fine for men, for instance, to not
- 1:38:36care as much about whether you have a stray hair that sticks out to the
- 1:38:45side when they're talking to you as you care about having a stray hair that
- 1:38:49stick sticks out to the side when they're talking. This is the worst thing
- 1:38:53that has ever happened to me. I'm so embarrassed. Oh my god,
- 1:38:55I have brocoli on my tooth. Why are you not telling me? Why
- 1:38:59are you looking at it? My life is over right. Yeah, it's
- 1:39:03perfectly fine for guys to be more okay with some some risk in their life.
- 1:39:10Like I remember being a kid and my brother would pick up bugs that
- 1:39:14I wouldn't go near. You know, if I knew a bug didn't bite,
- 1:39:18I was fine picking it up. Like I picked up crickets all the
- 1:39:20time. I used to use them to go fishing. But my brother would
- 1:39:26pick up ants like I'm not touching that. It's gonna pinch me, and
- 1:39:30and it doesn't hurt, but it's discombobulating, it's uncomfortable, and I don't
- 1:39:34like it and I don't want to touch it. Right, this thing might
- 1:39:38sting me. Okay, no, I'm going nowhere near it, right,
- 1:39:42you know that kind of thing. We both had our different ways of no
- 1:39:47fear, and I saw that with the kids too. That's fine, you
- 1:39:51know, And it's fine for for girls to laugh at look how dirty you
- 1:39:56got doing that thing? Wow, Like, doesn't that bother you at all?
- 1:40:00And it's fine for boys to be like, look how prissy you are
- 1:40:03about it and laugh at that, you know, hahaha. Girls can't even
- 1:40:09get things done because they won't stick their hands in the dirt without gardening gloves.
- 1:40:13That's fine, Like those are okay, and that's that's not But today
- 1:40:23we're adversarial about it. We hate each other over it. It's a social
- 1:40:28it's a it's a microaggression. Yeah, how there you be dirty? Don't
- 1:40:33you respect women? Like I'm sorry, I just got off work and haven't
- 1:40:38got home to take a shower yet. You know, just stopped at the
- 1:40:41convenience store to pick up a gallon of milk, you know, or sorry,
- 1:40:46lady, I'm homeless. I can't wash off the cigarette smell. Yeah,
- 1:40:51yeah, but but yeah. A Nova fan twenty one gave us a
- 1:40:59rumble for a dollar and said, if you haven't already, can you cover
- 1:41:01more articles and talks where mom women say holding women accountable is misogyny. You
- 1:41:09know, here's this sad part about that. Right, they don't overtly make
- 1:41:15that statement verbatim. What they do is respond to ways in which women are
- 1:41:21held accountable for making stupid choices or doing bad things to other people that are
- 1:41:29harmful to them or hurtful to them by calling you a misogynist for criticizing their
- 1:41:34behavior and for instance, slut shaming. Oh, you're a misogynist. You're
- 1:41:43slut slut shaming this girl for cheating on her boyfriend. No, we're criticizing
- 1:41:51the betrayal like a relationship involves loyalty. You know. Don't don't call women
- 1:42:00bitches. That's uh, that's sexist. Well, don't act like one.
- 1:42:05I I right before I set up the show today, I had an argument
- 1:42:13with a dip shit which is that's not unusual, Like I do that all
- 1:42:16the time on Twitter. My my whole Twitter feed is is uh either it's
- 1:42:24me saying things and then ending up arguing with dip shits over their reaction,
- 1:42:30right, and uh that that's you know, I pointed out something that I've
- 1:42:35I've talked about this the the basis you know, for for the Christian faith
- 1:42:42is love God with everything and love your neighbor as you love yourself, and
- 1:42:48everything else that you're taught in the Christian faith hinges on those two things.
- 1:42:54We know this because Jesus said so, Like, that's my belief system.
- 1:42:59That's that's how I respond to everything. I've talked about tough love and getting
- 1:43:03gruff and angry with people and how you know, part of that love is
- 1:43:09you. You fall down and you're forgiven and you it's your job to get
- 1:43:15back up and try to do better the next time. Right, And you're
- 1:43:19supposed to love everybody. What's easy to love men because men do bring respectability
- 1:43:28to the relationship between the sectors. Men bring loyalty and honor, and you
- 1:43:34know, they bring compassion, camaraderie, kindness. I guess you could say
- 1:43:41men are okay right, but women A lot of times women bring nothing,
- 1:43:50you know, or they bring animosity, they bring pain and suffering. It
- 1:43:58makes it it can be a lot more work to love women and to respond
- 1:44:03to women's normal, common attitudes and behaviors in a manner that is guided by
- 1:44:12love, even when you're angry as opposed to men because of that, and
- 1:44:17men make their being about their impact on society, and women make their being
- 1:44:24about society's impact on them. And so I pointed out, you know,
- 1:44:31and historically women have done better than they are doing right now. That's another
- 1:44:36thing that people don't understand. But I pointed out, you know, men,
- 1:44:42men deserve to be loved, but right now, women on the whole
- 1:44:45don't. In response to the question what controversial opinion has you? Like this,
- 1:44:48and it's that screenshot of the guy with all the swords pointed at him
- 1:44:53from the movie about the guys looking for El Dorado. I think the movie
- 1:44:58was called El Dorado like Disney or something thing cartoon And this chick uh kneeds
- 1:45:04your reacted. God offended kept calling me bro of course, but she needs
- 1:45:14your reacted and it was it was very upsetting for her to hear that,
- 1:45:20right, But she didn't react by wanting to find out why. I thought
- 1:45:25that. She only reacted with condemnation, anger, and an adversarial response,
- 1:45:30and she never did turn away from that, thereby proving your original Women make
- 1:45:38themselves very hard to love. Yeah, yeah, so and it's sad like
- 1:45:46so that's I guess my my answer. Uh, you know, like you
- 1:45:51you want to change things for women, women make themselves very hard to love.
- 1:45:58You can't talk about holding women accountable because you can't even talk about that
- 1:46:02without a woman, I mean getting upset. I forget about love. I
- 1:46:06don't even like a lot of these bitch that's fun. There's just not very
- 1:46:16many redeemable qualities in a large percentage of them, and the numbers are just
- 1:46:26increasing. And you know, I you know, women mature at their own
- 1:46:31speed, right, you know, I don't know. Maybe maybe some of
- 1:46:36them are seeing what this whole culture is turning into and saying to themselves,
- 1:46:44you know, I don't want to be like that. Hopefully it's more than
- 1:46:48you know, the paltry number that I'm thinking of in my head. But
- 1:46:57you know, why would you even want to deal with them? God?
- 1:47:04They just I mean, they have nothing to talk about. I swear to
- 1:47:12God, try having a conversation with them about anything that doesn't directly involve themselves
- 1:47:19or entertainment or I don't know, you know, fashion, because I consider
- 1:47:32these conversations form of you take a disruptor to the person's current uh attitude,
- 1:47:45believe suffering, personality, flaws, whatever, a disruptor that that kind of
- 1:47:53works. Like the ball in the game Breakout. You remember Breakout where you
- 1:47:57would have to hit the little bricks, uh, you know, had the
- 1:48:00little use the little paddle wheel controller for the for the attar. This was
- 1:48:06an Atari twenty six hundred game, right, And you have this little line
- 1:48:14across the bottom of the screen that represents your paddle like a ping pong paddle,
- 1:48:20and there's a little square on the screen that represents a ball. And
- 1:48:24it was like pong, except it was you against a wall of pixelated bricks
- 1:48:32and you would hit the ball. The ball would be moving on its own.
- 1:48:36You would direct the paddle to where the ball would impact it, and
- 1:48:41it would bounce off and go in a direction and it would bounce this.
- 1:48:44Yeah, Commodore sixty four had it too. Yes, old school Loo got
- 1:48:49it. Yeah. So there are a lot of people that do do remember
- 1:48:53that right, And it didn't just blow up, you know, the brick
- 1:48:59wall like a lot of modern games. You know, you throw a bomb
- 1:49:00and boom, and then but it would hit a brick and it would take
- 1:49:04a brick out, or on a really high difficulty level, it would hit
- 1:49:08a brick and it would change the color and then it would hit it a
- 1:49:11second time to take it out. And there were different ways you could do.
- 1:49:15Like with the Atari version, if you managed to manipulate it right,
- 1:49:20you could hold the paddle still and the ball would just bounce straight up and
- 1:49:26down and go all the way through to the top of the screen, and
- 1:49:29then it would it would create a new dynamic for how it bounced around.
- 1:49:33But if you bounce it at an angle, it could bounce off the walls,
- 1:49:38hit the bricks, bounce off of that, go back to the walls,
- 1:49:40and bounce around. And like if you got it in the top of
- 1:49:44the screen above the bricks, it would just go ballistic, bouncing up and
- 1:49:47down and take it out bricks until it made a bigger space and then it
- 1:49:50would slow down and everything. So it would bounce around and it would change
- 1:49:56the environment that it was in there, right, that kind of disruptor.
- 1:50:01It gets, it gets, you know, some things change the way they
- 1:50:05look, some things disappear, and it and it bounces around in there,
- 1:50:10but it won't go away. You have to move the paddle out of the
- 1:50:15way or turn the game off to end the game. And that's that's what
- 1:50:21I'm trying to do with thoughts, right. Get a disruptor like that,
- 1:50:26an idea, a concept, a question into the other person's mind that is
- 1:50:34so dramatic in the effect it has, whether it makes them very happy or
- 1:50:42very angry, that it becomes a nagging question or a nagging doubt, or
- 1:50:47a nagging sore spot, like the sore spot you get if you have a
- 1:50:53toothache where you keep putting your tongue in that spot to feel the tooth,
- 1:50:57the fever around the tooth and everything. And that's what's going to happen with
- 1:51:01the thoughts that the the twits that I deal with on Twitter address they may
- 1:51:09block, they may you know, have temper tantrums, they may argue,
- 1:51:13they may say all kinds of things. But the questions that I raise and
- 1:51:17the ideas that I communicate, I don't expect them to ever come back and
- 1:51:23say gosh, you're right, I was wrong, or change their mind in
- 1:51:27the moment or anything like that. It's just about making them consider by making
- 1:51:35the idea, the concept, the question, the criticism too hard to ignore.
- 1:51:42And sometimes you got to piss people off to do that. Yeah.
- 1:51:46Yeah, And I think a lot of this is happening right now because everybody
- 1:51:53is talking about the manisphere and women and you know, mail and female relationships.
- 1:52:00It just seems to be the really big hot topic. And I think
- 1:52:04a lot of people are waking up and you know, men are men are
- 1:52:09actually awakening to this thing. And I think a lot of men already knew
- 1:52:15this, you know, but they just sat there silently like yeah, you
- 1:52:18know, and well, if nobody else is gonna say it, I'm not
- 1:52:21gonna stick my neck out, you know. And now it's just come to
- 1:52:26the point where this there's like this crescendo, you know. And so all
- 1:52:31all of these hoes who have priced themselves out of the game, it's gonna
- 1:52:36be a cold winter because men are not putting up with this shit anymore,
- 1:52:41you know. We we they they are seeing through all of this, okay,
- 1:52:46and they're not willing to be your fucking pay pigs anymore. You're gonna
- 1:52:50have to grow a personality, grow the fuck up, and deal with the
- 1:52:56reality of your life and the consequences of the decisions that you made. Yeah,
- 1:53:03we're done. We're done. I'm done. I don't want to pay
- 1:53:08for your ship. I'm sick, good lord, if I I can't screaming
- 1:53:14up about how I'm tired of paying my fucking taxes. My taxes are fucking
- 1:53:17going to all your fucking bullshit subsidizing these stupid choices that you make. I
- 1:53:25am done with it. Yeah, well, and it's it's very much,
- 1:53:30you know, I think I likened it on Tuesday, and I'll do it
- 1:53:32again. To cutting off the financing of an addict by a family member,
- 1:53:39right, you love your family member. You don't want your family member to
- 1:53:43be taken advantage of and forced to use their income to, you know,
- 1:53:47for this other person's purposes, to the detriment of them being able to take
- 1:53:51care of themselves and after their needs. Right, And you don't want the
- 1:53:56addict to die in a puddle of their own vibe or if they're you know,
- 1:54:02addicted to something non chemical that's harming them. You don't want them to
- 1:54:08suffer the consequences of that either, right, you want to make it hard
- 1:54:11for them to indulge in a way that is damaging to themselves, so that
- 1:54:16the pathway to not indulging and not self harming becomes easier than the pathway to
- 1:54:26indulging in self harming. And with women, you know, women are indulging
- 1:54:33in a lack of accountability in a way that hurts everybody, including themselves.
- 1:54:43So if you love both sexes, if you love men, obviously you don't
- 1:54:46want men to be exploited. You don't want men to be mistreated. You
- 1:54:50don't want men to be lied to, scammed, defrauded, depressed, angry,
- 1:54:59sad, lonely. You don't want that for men. But you also
- 1:55:02don't want women to fail in life. If you love women, you don't
- 1:55:06want them to stay on the bottom rung of the success ladder in their areas
- 1:55:15of interest because they don't have the accountability to lift themselves up that ladder exactly.
- 1:55:25And you know, love, love is not just being nice and doing
- 1:55:28nice things for someone. Love is also being critical of them, you know,
- 1:55:33criticizing them and telling them when they're doing telling somebody when they're doing the
- 1:55:39wrong thing. You disagree, you know, but women are just so accustomed
- 1:55:54to being told that everything that they want is the right thing, and oh
- 1:55:59no, it's your fault, your fault. But that's not the case.
- 1:56:03That starts with women telling themselves that too. Well, yeah, absolutely,
- 1:56:10you know. You know, I was talking about this yesterday with Peter Wright.
- 1:56:13Actually so I made a post at first in response to a conversation that
- 1:56:17the conversation wasn't going anywhere the two people involved. You know, I really
- 1:56:23wasn't going to take a side in this conversation because it was pointless. But
- 1:56:27I pointed out in response to criticism of women as a population that because like
- 1:56:33this conversation was basically, well, all women are like that, Well,
- 1:56:35no, some women aren't like that. You know, it doesn't matter if
- 1:56:39some women aren't like that, And it doesn't matter if somebody says all women
- 1:56:43are like that. If not like that, he's not talking about you,
- 1:56:47right, right, But in any case, that's that's that's the way I
- 1:56:51feel about it. Like I when I hear guys, you know, saying
- 1:56:54all women are liars, I don't take it personally because everybody has been through
- 1:57:00an ordeal caused by a woman's lie. I don't know anybody that hasn't experienced
- 1:57:06that, right, and it's it's bad enough that it's dangerous. So that's
- 1:57:12a bigger problem than how I feel about him using the word all instead of
- 1:57:17saying nearly all. It doesn't matter. He's not talking about me, but
- 1:57:24I said it is a sad and sad but undeniable truth. And this is
- 1:57:28this is when one of the roots I think of the accountability gap, by
- 1:57:31the way behind everything else in gender issues, there lies a gender gap in
- 1:57:36personal accountability, both in the individual's grasp of it and the social pressure one
- 1:57:43faces to demonstrate it. The overwhelming majority of girls start with less natural risk
- 1:57:50taking tendency than boys and can't equal their starting point for learning account of because
- 1:58:00to be accountable means be willing to endure consequences when you're wrong. They grow
- 1:58:06up you even sometimes, by the way, have to endure consequences when you're
- 1:58:11right. You make the right choice. I want to buy this dress,
- 1:58:15but I need all of the money that's available to me right now to pay
- 1:58:19the rent. The consequence of choosing the right thing is that you don't get
- 1:58:26the dress, and you don't have any extra money. Obviously, it's not
- 1:58:30as bad as the consequence of choosing the wrong thing, because you're not facing
- 1:58:33the consequence that comes with not paying your rent. You're not getting evicted,
- 1:58:39your landlord's not mad at you, and so on. Right, but girls
- 1:58:44have a tendency to feel like they shouldn't face consequences when they make decisions.
- 1:58:50Right, they grow up with their their sense of personal accountability being crippled by
- 1:58:57social norms, which may be in response to the original handicap there or maybe
- 1:59:00for other reasons. Uniquely shield girls and women almost always at the expense of
- 1:59:06boys and men for many adverse consequences of their choices, whether the choice itself
- 1:59:12was advisable or inadvisable. As a result, the overwhelming majority of women are
- 1:59:16woefully inept at evaluating their choices in an accountable manner and taking responsibility for their
- 1:59:23effect on themselves, much less others. In adulthood, most women reach the
- 1:59:29level in adulthood. Most women reach the level of accountability boys reach at about
- 1:59:36fourteen years old, right before they're expected to start laboring to finance their lifestyle
- 1:59:41choices and their personal relationship interests, Way before they are expected to finance their
- 1:59:45own living expenses. Many women never mature beyond that point. This is why
- 1:59:50alimony and child support exist. If all or even most women matured beyond that
- 1:59:57point, they'd be ashamed to break up their committe marriage, and even if
- 2:00:01they couldn't prevent the breakup, they'd be ashamed to accept those payoffs. And
- 2:00:05when I was talking to Peter Wright about the responses to this post, it
- 2:00:11occurred to me, you know it, it just hit me because the responses
- 2:00:16to the post between men and women were kind of different. And I will
- 2:00:20admit I got a little impatient with with women lately because I've been lacking sleep
- 2:00:29lately, you know, like I been dealing with some medical issues. So
- 2:00:36but I but I pointed out that probably that risk aversion is probably the underlying,
- 2:00:45the main underlying fuel for the accountability gap. I think like there's there's
- 2:00:54a lot of social things that have broadened, widened, fueled, you know,
- 2:01:00whatever, the accountability gap. There's a lot of things that we've done.
- 2:01:02Coviture, for instance, was kind of men's reaction to women's lack of
- 2:01:06accountability, and they reacted by taking more responsibility. And as a result of
- 2:01:14that, responsibility. They had restrictions and obligations that women had to deal with
- 2:01:18in order to facilitate men meeting those responsibilities. That's fine, if you're not
- 2:01:23going to be accountable, will be accountable, but you have to get out
- 2:01:27of our way. Stop hindering our accountability. Right, that's that's that.
- 2:01:32Uh oh, that's what's I just I just found out, guys, what
- 2:01:36has been slowing down my computer this whole fucking time? Oh h my Google
- 2:01:43account. Like my little icon for my Google account. Right next to my
- 2:01:47icon, it usually you know, tells whether I'm signed in or not.
- 2:01:51Now it says finish update. Fuckers. Oh you're using the computer now to
- 2:01:58do things? Yes, it's been on for three hours, but we're gonna
- 2:02:00do the update right now, fucking Google. Okay, you're gonna have to
- 2:02:06start using Brave on that computer too. Well, Brave does the same damn
- 2:02:12thing. But yeah, I pointed out, for instance, and in the
- 2:02:16discussion, you know, where where is it? I'm like actually going through
- 2:02:25it right now. Coverture doctrine was probably based on the accountability gap and what
- 2:02:30I just described, And there was probably originally that small gap, you know,
- 2:02:35even even before coverture. Even before all the legal changes in everything,
- 2:02:44there was that small gap because women have a tendency the thing that I remember
- 2:02:48pointing out, I don't I don't need to remember how I worded it,
- 2:02:54But because women are more risk averse than men, and because they have a
- 2:03:01natural tendency to be more skittish about risk and to be a little more neurotic
- 2:03:08about consequences, women have a tendency to gloss things over in their mind.
- 2:03:15They will convince themselves that their actions, if they do the right thing,
- 2:03:23that there shouldn't be any consequences for it. That should fix everything. Like
- 2:03:27you do something ethical or moral or wise, that should eliminate whatever adversity you
- 2:03:34might face as a result, when in fact you can make very advantageous purchases
- 2:03:43or moral choices, ethical choices, and so on, there are still consequences.
- 2:03:48When you cut off the funding for the addict's addiction, the addict is
- 2:03:57going to be angry with you. That is a consequence. The addict even
- 2:04:00hate you for a while, might even hate you for twenty years. But
- 2:04:08whatever good comes out of it, you know, them getting that opportunity to
- 2:04:13say, well, all right, I'm gonna try to rehabilitate so that I
- 2:04:16don't suffer because of this because I don't feel like I have a choice.
- 2:04:21Well, you know, they still have a choice. If they do that,
- 2:04:25it's worth it. It's worth them being angry. You have to decide
- 2:04:29that kind of thing, right when you pay your rent instead of buying the
- 2:04:32thing you want it, it's worth it because now you're not going to be
- 2:04:36homeless next month. And so women, men make themselves comfortable with taking on
- 2:04:45consequences like that. Women pretend they don't exist right. Women's part of women's
- 2:04:54risk aversion manifests and convincing themselves that the right thing will have fewer consequences,
- 2:05:03and then women turn around to demand society make that true. So, for
- 2:05:09instance, if a woman looks at a situation, she doesn't think about risking
- 2:05:16conception as an unwise choice. She doesn't think about risking conception when when she's
- 2:05:29with a guy that she doesn't plan on staying with, doesn't plan on marrying,
- 2:05:32isn't going to raise a child with him, you know that kind of
- 2:05:35thing. She doesn't think of that necessarily as a wrong choice, but she
- 2:05:39recognizes killing the baby as a wrong choice. For instance, says Okay,
- 2:05:44that's murder. I'm not going to do that. Well, then she's going
- 2:05:48to look at the financial consequences as something that's inflicted on her by society,
- 2:05:55not a natural consequence of taking on their responsibility raising a child. But she'll
- 2:06:00look at the pain and suffering that she might go through if she parts with
- 2:06:05that child so that the child can be raised by somebody that's better financially set
- 2:06:11and has a more stable environment to provide love and nurturing for the child.
- 2:06:15Like, that's something that it's society inflicted on her too, and she's not
- 2:06:21going to look at it as a natural consequence and something that she should have
- 2:06:26to be prepared to, you know, weather and acclimate herself to endure process,
- 2:06:38suck it up, and drive on from So that's the like, if
- 2:06:44you look at the accountability gap and you go, all right, what's underneath?
- 2:06:48What's the cause of the accountability gap? Like I'm not sure that we've
- 2:06:54identified everything, but on that list, and I would say probably pretty eye
- 2:07:00up on that list is that risk aversion and that psychological trick women play on
- 2:07:05themselves in order to be comfortable making decisions in a world in which they are
- 2:07:12overly risk averse, if that makes sense. Yeah, so absolutely, And
- 2:07:24that sort of dovetails back into this situation where the woman in this video that
- 2:07:32we just watched was afraid to connect with her child in a meaningful way.
- 2:07:41Right. She handled him like a problem instead of a person, and she
- 2:07:46didn't want to risk teaching him the wrong thing, so she tried not to
- 2:07:51teach him anything. She didn't want to risk being wrong about stuff, so
- 2:07:59she was authoritarian, and she didn't want to risk him mimicking behaviors that she
- 2:08:07thought was dysfunctional or increasing his temper, so she tried to present pretend she
- 2:08:11didn't have one and she didn't teach him how to handle it. Mm hm
- 2:08:18exactly. And then when the child had a poor outcome from those risk averse
- 2:08:26behaviors of hers, she rewrote things in her mind that it was somebody else's
- 2:08:31fault. Yeah. Well, I mean, you know, women think accountability
- 2:08:37as a mathematical skill. Yeah, and as we all know, math is
- 2:08:45hard. Yes, Oh my gosh, So there you go. I don't
- 2:08:52have any other super chats. Let me see, I don't have any o
- 2:09:00they're super chows. And let's look at I lost rumble there it is okay,
- 2:09:11don't have any other rumble rants, So that's it. So I think
- 2:09:20we're gonna call it. It's ten after nine. That's not too bad.
- 2:09:24About an hour and a half. Not too bad. Took us an hour
- 2:09:28and a half to go through six minutes and then talk about it. That's
- 2:09:33exactly is stared. Thanks for sticking out this odd discussion, long video,
- 2:09:41sort of twenty six minute video total. All right, Thanks everybody for listening,
- 2:09:46and especially to all of the story time with Hannah parts of it,
- 2:09:52because I can't look at somebody else's parenting and childhood without thinking about my own
- 2:09:58comparing, you know, that's sort of how I explain things. And thanks
- 2:10:03to everybody who works in the background to make HBr talk happen. Good idol,
