Latest / Honey Badger Radio / Do Transgender Men Have Male Privilege? | Maintaining Frame 48
Transcript
- 0:00Hello everybody, and welcome to Honey Badger Radio. My name is Brian.
- 0:04I'm here with Alison and this is maintaining frame number forty eight. Do transgender
- 0:11men have male privilege? Which is a video? I think somebody sent you
- 0:19right or did no? No, I found it. I found it.
- 0:22Oh you found it. You've ferreted it out? I did, I did.
- 0:25I don't remember. You followed the veins of cringe in the Interwell,
- 0:28yeah, ug it. So we're yeah, so we're gonna be looking at
- 0:35this video that's going to make the case that transgender men don't have the same
- 0:45privilege as sisgender men. So okay, yeah, I know what the question
- 0:54is. Do does that then follow that trans women still have the privilege of
- 1:00men of sis men? Yeah? Interesting? That yeah, interesting, but
- 1:07also interesting how they want to disavow the position of privilege. It's almost like
- 1:14privilege is a hot potato. Huh Yeah. It seems like the only thing
- 1:18it does is puts you in the bottom to be listened to or cared about.
- 1:23It. It's quite the you know, it's quite it's almost it's the
- 1:26Ministry of privilege, you know. Nineteen eighty four, the Ministry of Peace
- 1:30dealt with war. The Ministry of truth dealt with lies. The Ministry of
- 1:34privilege is actually the ministry of dis privilege. So when you when you're tagged
- 1:42with the privilege tag, you don't get any privileges at all, because you're
- 1:46already mysteriously privileged by the privileged ghosts that nobody can actually identify. Oh God,
- 1:55this this world just just it spends. Our society must spend a good
- 2:01like sixty percent of its GDP gross domestic product just lying to itself. Yeah,
- 2:07all right, that's gonna, that's that's gonna. That's gonna play it.
- 2:10Well, should I? I think I should? Ye do the things?
- 2:15Yeah, with the thingings. All right, So once again we are
- 2:17doing our monthly fundraiser. It's at feed the Badger dot com slash support.

- 3:25fickle bullshit. So there you go, Feed the Badger dot com slash just
- 3:30the tip. All right, shall we just do it? Get intesting?
- 3:35Yes, let us go to the web page. Let's press play. So
- 3:44the video is from a website called Advocate dot com and it's entitled do trans
- 3:50Men Have Mail Privilege? And the I guess like the reason why I thought
- 3:58it was interesting was sort of comes out in a predictable way. It's basically
- 4:01like, you know, because they lived as women for a while and then
- 4:06became men, they understand both sides, you know, um better, and
- 4:13somehow that cancels out all of the male privilege, or at least that aspect
- 4:19though anyway, So that's what the question is, and I just thought it
- 4:25was interesting because, um, you know, we have trans men speaking on
- 4:29behalf of men. Now, do transgender men have male privilege? Yes?
- 4:35All right, cool, that's a video over by Peace. No, it's
- 4:41not all right. I'm just pausing. We're going to just point one thing
- 4:46out. I was. I was briefly in an argument with with a bunch
- 4:48of feminists on Twitter about the Selective Service, and I found out something a
- 4:55little bit interesting about selective service. Okay, so this is from who needs
- 5:01to register? Okay, US citizens, and it's under their heading transgender people
- 5:08people US citizens are immigrants who are born male and change their gender to female
- 5:13are still required to register. Individuals who are born female and change their gender
- 5:16to male are not required to register. And interestingly, when you look at
- 5:23when when they talk about, um, you know, the obligation to register,
- 5:29they say that if you don't register, if you avoid registering, it's
- 5:33unfair because another man has to take your place. But it's funny how one
- 5:41gender is taking the entire place of another gender when it comes to selective service
- 5:47and this obligation to put your life to the protection of your society, that
- 5:54is what male citizens are obligated to do. That means this guy, who
- 6:00I presume is a trans man, is not obligated to that. Sis men
- 6:04are obligated to that. That means that a sists man has to give up
- 6:10his future, his education and he hopes for future education, has to give
- 6:16up his job, has to give up his home, has to give up
- 6:19his well being, has to give up his comfort, has to give up
- 6:24his life, has to give up his physical integrity, has to give up
- 6:29every conceivable privilege that a human being has, every conceivable right that a human
- 6:35being has if his society requires it of him. That's the position sis men
- 6:44are in. So this is like when he says, oh, oh,
- 6:47trans men have male privilege. No, you have trans man privilege, which
- 6:53is actually female privilege. You have the privilege right here in black and white
- 6:58that the Selective Service Registry illustrates puts out just just white and black and white.
- 7:03You're born female, you don't have to make those sacrifices, and they
- 7:08are sacrifices. There is no greater sacrifice that any person has ever given their
- 7:15society than soldiers do, period. And that's partly because it is not voluntary.
- 7:23Men will enforce this on other men. They will believe it is man,
- 7:28a man's role to sacrifice for his society. And you see that in
- 7:33Ukraine now, and you see the same thing happening in the Ukraine. You
- 7:36think you're a transwoman, No you're not. If you were born with the
- 7:40penis, you are expected to pick up a gun and go die for your
- 7:45country. So after that, after you set that, this entire discussion of
- 7:50privileges is insane, it's insane. There is there is no male privilege,
- 7:58none, because every single bit, even the privilege, like every single bit
- 8:03of privilege a human being can have, is put is sacrifice on the altar
- 8:07of this society sustaining itself for men. When it comes to men, that
- 8:11means there is no such thing as male privilege at all. Period. The
- 8:15selective service and it's secretive cryptic forms and other countries. You know, guys,
- 8:20there's there's no country that doesn't do this it's just the US is more
- 8:24public about it. For example, the Canada just signs men up to a
- 8:28registry without telling anyone, doesn't tell anyone because they don't want any fuss.
- 8:35But believe me, if Russia comes over the North, guess who's going Guess
- 8:39who's going to be signed up? Okay, so it exists. It exists
- 8:46in every country. This expectation exists. It's just that in the US if
- 8:50there's a bit more of a publicity around it. And some states they sign
- 8:56you up automatically when you when you try to to license, or when you
- 9:01try to get a voters registration card, or when you try to get like
- 9:03an ID, they just sign you up automatically. Other states they send you
- 9:07the Selective Service a list, and they send you a letter and they say,
- 9:11ah, you gotta sign up, or you pay a quarter million dollars
- 9:13in a quarter million dollars to go to jail. All right, okay,
- 9:18right here, right here. Mail privilege doesn't exist, period, full stop.
- 9:22Let's go out and end end of this, end of this podcast.
- 9:26Guys, no need to go on. Good night, everybody, good night,
- 9:31everybody. All right, Oh god, but let's see what this delusional
- 9:37human being has to say about things and also work harder. I'm passing,
- 9:43oh man, monetized passing is a human being? Yeah, this is not
- 9:50the best trans man like in terms of passing as a human being. But
- 9:58what I'm saying passing as a human being, I'm not even sayings a man?
- 10:03Yes, yes, of course, oh God, as adult? How
- 10:07about like, oh, stop moving like that. That's creepy. Okay,
- 10:13okay, of course the actual answer is more nuanced than that. It's of
- 10:18course, it's always more nuanced. Okay. Can I just make a rant
- 10:20about the word nuanced and how these people use it, these individuals on this
- 10:24particular with this particular behavioral pattern. Nuanced means that the answer is always men
- 10:31are privileged, and nuance means is uh, because that is always the answer,
- 10:37We're going to do some elaborate acrobatics and shooking and jiving and lies and
- 10:45deceit and the dance of the seven vales to arrive always on the same answer.
- 10:50That's what they consider nuance. They only is one answer, but because
- 10:56it's so wrong, we have to do this incredibly elaborate gymnastics routine to get
- 11:03to it. And that's what's nuanced. Okay, yeah, nance, I
- 11:09think I think I'm gonna be ranting a lot today. Does sound like it.
- 11:15I'm here for it. Slay, all right, let's keep going.
- 11:22As Jesse Jenner established in her video, according to Debbie and John Phillips,
- 11:26male privilege is quote a special status conferred on males and societies where male supremacy
- 11:31is the central social organizing feature. Beautiful sight that stop. No, no
- 11:43male supremacy. Okay, right off the bat. A man loses every single
- 11:52one of his privileges when he's called up for war to serve to protect you.
- 12:01Like, I just don't like that you have to just ignore huge swaths
- 12:05of reality to even vomit that shit out of your mouth. Yeah, Like,
- 12:13it's it's just just like, no, you you, you, you
- 12:16cannot ignore this. There is nothing that a man creates for himself, dreams
- 12:22for himself, or anything that is not he is not expected to sacrifice should
- 12:30he society decided to send him to war to protect you? Like, is
- 12:37that the actions of people who that isn't the freaking hilarious, not hilarious,
- 12:43but disturbing thing about all of this and more? Isn't the only manifestation of
- 12:48society's willingness to sacrifice men for its own aim. You know, like every
- 12:52single infrastructure project in the US and in particular the UK has a male body
- 12:58count to it, like the tunnel under the Thames. I really recommend people
- 13:05watching that that documentary to find out what they went through to create that tunnel
- 13:11and how many men died to do it the railway. Same difference getting gold,
- 13:18getting oil out of the ground, whaling and what is the what is
- 13:22the end result of all of this male expendability. Women Women have more and
- 13:28more comfortable lives the biggest benefit for all of this male expendability. For example,
- 13:35let's just take whale oil. Women don't have to spend as much of
- 13:41their time making and reconstituting candles, all right. They don't have to spend
- 13:48as much as the um things like electricity and indoor heating. They don't have
- 13:52to spend as much of their time gathering wood, like all of this used
- 13:56to be women's labor that was completely replaced by utilities. And then also canning
- 14:05and all of this infrastructure around food preparation production completely replaced women's labor when it
- 14:11came to the preservation of food. So bit by bit by bit, the
- 14:16sacrifices of men, the expendability of men, has translated into reducing women's labor
- 14:24in the home. And then what do women do they do? This?
- 14:31Jeez like, like literally, men died to create this, and then what
- 14:35do women do with their extra time? How are we being pressed by a
- 14:41society that is absolutely okay with sacrificing men to make sure that you don't have
- 14:46to gather wood or make candles? Like yeah, and yeah, the thing
- 14:54is that the infrastructure, all of the men sacrifice for the infrastructure, sacrifice
- 14:58for modern technology. And you know one one one fire factory, factory,
- 15:07fire the shirtwaist factory that that actually hits women, and every you know,
- 15:11all the labor has to change because women are now might be affected by it.
- 15:16Okay, It's like male expendability built the world that we live in.
- 15:22And then you have the audacity to beak off about how men are valued more
- 15:28than women. Are you fucking kidding me? And then again once again,
- 15:35selective service is a black and white illustration of who has value in our society
- 15:39and who is expected to sacrifice for that value. So don't give me this
- 15:43shit, your delusional clue Okay, once you start with the one big lie,
- 15:52do you notice how you just sort of pile on more lies and more
- 15:54delusions. Do you notice that's what's happening with these people. Yeah, maybe
- 16:02we should go back to the one big lie that even the conservatives seem to
- 16:06have trouble with, which is this idea that men don't sacrifice for women somehow,
- 16:14like you know men in the past, men and other cultures, they
- 16:15don't sacrifice for women. They don't protect and provide for women. Even even
- 16:22conservatives believe that crap. They even sucked into it for whatever reason. Anyway,
- 16:29Okay, I don't even remember what they said anymore. That's okay,
- 16:33all right, patients, they're happening great. So systemically, men have certain
- 16:37advantages that women do not. Scholar Peggy Macintosh describe these advantages as an invisible,
- 16:44witless snapset, a special problem. Good because I'm glad when invisible and
- 16:48witless because he can't be waiting, it can't be seen. How convenient.
- 16:52But it's totally there, guys, who He's totally there. Guys. The
- 16:56Emperor's clothes absolutely splendiffer us, They're totally there. Jesus, have you heard
- 17:03about the invisible knapsack. Um, I know, I'm serious, Like,
- 17:07this is the this is the this is feminist theory right here, or or
- 17:11whatever. I don't even know if theory is right. It's not theory.
- 17:15Theory has predictive value. As far as I can tell. Every time I
- 17:19read a feminist paper, their theory predicts nothing, and they their their research
- 17:23continuously proves that they are incapable of predicting anything with their theory. So it's
- 17:30not a theory. It's not even a conjecture. It's not even a hypothesis
- 17:33at this point. It's a superstition. It's a good way to put it.
- 17:38Let's learn about the invisible knapsack that has special provisions, assurances tools,
- 17:45assurances tools, vision naps guy, it's code books, passports, compass,
- 17:51emergency gear, and blank checks. She wrote that in the context of white
- 17:53privilege and applied the same concept to mail privilege. What the fun? So,
- 18:00yeah, men, we all have that, and that's bad. Okay.
- 18:04I'm just telling you that I'm not going to be able to handle more
- 18:07than an hour of this, maybe forty five minutes, Like this is this,
- 18:14I'm already my blood pressure. I can I can handle my doctor.
- 18:18Don't hurt yourself. Just don't hurt yourself. Yeah, um, you know,
- 18:22just just jumping out of a nap being like somebody is about to kill
- 18:26themselves with burst the fucking vessel in her goddamn heart. Okay, let's let's
- 18:33let's let's hear about their delusions. Yeah, more delusions incoming. Men may
- 18:40not realize they carry it with them, but they do, and they rely
- 18:42on its contents to get through life general. What they do they do?
- 18:48Yeah they do? Okay, what what are they? He said? This
- 18:52is what do you have? Any Like? What they're gonna say is the
- 18:56wage gap? I guess at this point probably, um, I mean probably
- 19:04the wage gap is probably in a in a in about ten years. May
- 19:08only be a driven by the fact that men occupy the worst jobs in our
- 19:15society, the worst jobs that nobody wants, so they have to be paid
- 19:18more. Yeah. Oh god, this makes me cry, This makes me
- 19:26weep, This is so okay. So yeah, basic and have different relationships
- 19:33with their male privilege. Well sis, men spend their whole lives being free.
- 19:36Wait wait wait wait wait yeah wait, so we're not even going to
- 19:42explain what it is? What what is, or what the knapsack? Well,
- 19:49male privilege, Yeah, what the knapsack, I'm saying, you know
- 19:52what, I could probably give you. I could probably give you a rundown.
- 19:55At this point of course, it's it's the wage gap, right.
- 20:00We aren't going to look at the fact that women make different choices. The
- 20:03wage gap is significantly smaller in more traditional countries, strangely enough, Nor are
- 20:10we going to look at the fact that men occupy the worst jobs in society,
- 20:15which is going to increase the wage overall of men, and will always
- 20:19increase the wage overall of men because women won't do those jobs, because most
- 20:23people won't do those jobs, because people don't want those jobs, all right,
- 20:29And then we're going to look at, oh, the labor gap of
- 20:32domestic labor because men women apparently do a half hour more if you don't include
- 20:38commuting and yard care and and other stuff like that. And then and then
- 20:48another male privilege is not being hooted at in public, which I have honestly
- 20:53got ladies. I think that's going to be a thing of the past.
- 20:59Yeah, really, yeah, I don't think men are doing that anymore,
- 21:03and women have to deal with I guess spousal murder, even though it was
- 21:10equal in the seventies, and for some reason, just what happened is less
- 21:14black men ended up getting killed by their partners. So feminists have turned a
- 21:18situation getting better for black men into patriarchy, into evidence of patriarchy. So
- 21:23if you're black, if you're a black dude listening to me, think about
- 21:26that, if anything gets better for you, that's going to be evidence of
- 21:32feminist patriarchy. Oh and okay, see so domestic violence, except most of
- 21:37the population surveys do not find that big of a difference between men and women
- 21:42as victims of domestic violence, and in fact, most of the population surveys
- 21:48don't find a big difference between men and women as victims of rape. You
- 21:51can go all the way down the line, and none of these things are
- 21:56things that are socially acceptable or legal, and they're all considered male privileges.
- 22:03And what are the female privileges. Okay, Well, if a woman divorces
- 22:10her spouses, her male spouses obligations to her do not cease. He is
- 22:15still expected to be financially responsible for her upkeep. She's more likely to get
- 22:21the children. Statistically, she receives sixty percent less punishment like from the judicial
- 22:27system, and her as a victim of domestic violence and sexual assault, she
- 22:33has something like thousands of places to go. Men have three or four in
- 22:41the US, Okay, like legitimate places, not just hotel vouchers or homeless
- 22:49shelters, which also privilege women by the way they get first spots and homeless
- 22:55shelters. Okay. When you ask people who would you rather benefit men or
- 23:02women? They say women, which is why stuff like this exists. Incidentally,
- 23:07guys, the reason why you get all of this energy put towards the
- 23:11idea that women have it bad is because people care and they're gonna give you
- 23:17money. Like you, you just sit, You just sit there on a
- 23:19corner with your womenade stand and you say, women are victims of the invisible
- 23:26knapsack, the invisible knapsack. What horrible thing is that? I totally believe
- 23:33in it. I don't need any women are victims. That's all the other
- 23:37beence I need. Here's loads and loads of cash, loads and loads of
- 23:41cash. Go pay your board members thirty thousand dollars an hour to sit and
- 23:45have tea. Oh okay, I feel like I feel like I'm monopolizing everything.
- 23:56No, no, it's okay, I'm I am energy pained. Um,
- 24:03okay, well there's that. Yes, trans men typically do not.
- 24:08We spend some portion of our lives being perceived as women, which impacts how
- 24:11we are socialized by our parents, our friends, our schools, our workplaces,
- 24:15by every person and institution we encounter. Trans mends access to mail privilege
- 24:21depends on how we are perceived by society. Okay, pausing it there,
- 24:26you know, ironically, Oh god, damn, we're just gonna hump this
- 24:37till till everything breaks, you know that. Yeah, the weasons are just
- 24:44gonna They're just gonna They're just gonna hump these packing put peanuts until there's none
- 24:48left. All right, Um, no, there's not much more. So
- 24:55how much mail privileged you have proportionately, because you know, when you're a
- 25:02kid, presumably you realize that kids aren't really that privileged relative to adults.
- 25:07So presumably at some point, if you are perceived to be a man as
- 25:11an adult, you have more. You're starting to really really stack on those
- 25:17privilege points. So how does all of this work? How does all of
- 25:19this jerrymandering fall out? Like I just see her mind is like, well,
- 25:26his mind is like that one of those those breakfast machines where you hit
- 25:32something and then another thing hits and it's just like, where does this all
- 25:36end? Yeah, probably with a cracked egg frying in a pan your brain
- 25:41on feminism? Okay, all right, let's go. And how we're perceived
- 25:47is not stagnant. It changes over time, and in every interaction. Our
- 25:51perception as male, if it ever comes, it's bestowed upon us gradually.
- 25:55Slowly. We are greeted by more sirs than man's and referred to with more
- 25:57keys than she's. Is okay, all right, So once you are always
- 26:04referred to as he, you suddenly have male privilege. You know, you
- 26:10can't opine on the issue of male privilege because you don't have to sign up
- 26:14for the draft. Yeah, yeah, we covered that. I heard,
- 26:19I heard that. Um I saw a was one of the other panels we
- 26:25did, and there was all the trans man in the in the thing we
- 26:29did last time where you know that you had like the male feminists versus the
- 26:33female anti feminists, and one of him was a trans man and uh,
- 26:37he did say that like in one of the segments we didn't cover that he
- 26:41was supposed to. He had to sign up for the draft now that he's
- 26:45transitioned. So I don't know, maybe it's just a California thing. No,
- 26:52he doesn't, he's totally full of crap. Or yeah, and on
- 26:56the Selective Service site it says born mail that's it. Oh how about that?
- 27:03Yeah, well so I'm I'm you know, trans women, you might
- 27:06not want to give up your stoicism too much because you might find yourself in
- 27:11a trench where that's the only thing that's keeping you alive. Does your ability
- 27:17to just let Missouri go? Yeah? All right? All right, well
- 27:22a transition after all. So for us, we notice when society starts treating
- 27:26us differently. For us, the knapsack is not invisible when we are read
- 27:30assists men like Gate's open and we surf a tsunami of privilege. Oh yeah,
- 27:37really, what we're gonna say? So, so she's so, I'm
- 27:42sorry this person is saying that, Um, when we're gonna find Yeah,
- 27:49when when they because they because they started off as women or you know,
- 27:56a press group X, because they lived like that before transitioning, they are
- 28:03made aware of like all of these invisible knapsacked goodies that only men have,
- 28:11so of course men don't know it, and you know what, he can
- 28:14prove it. But this person, she's seen it. He's seen it.
- 28:18They've seen it. Sorry, okay, I have a question. Is there
- 28:22like you is your is your voice slowed down a little bit? Because it
- 28:26seems like it's a little slow. Yeah, it's a little slowed down.
- 28:29It sounds like you're, you know, really getting into um uh, maybe
- 28:37a little bit smashed. Shall we say? Oh no, no, no,
- 28:41no, I think I've heard this before. It just it's I think
- 28:45it's for some reason, your voice is slowed down. Oh that's weird.
- 28:49Wait did that happen? Is that like, um, like I'm talking slow
- 28:53or yeah, you're talking a little bit slurry, is what it is.
- 28:59It's interesting, So I don't know if that's a that's a sound thing.
- 29:02No, my mouth's really dry though. Okay, maybe maybe get some water.
- 29:07I'm curious what the heck this individual is going to say that the tsunami
- 29:11of privilege? Yeah, the tsunami. And do you want to know about
- 29:15the tell me about the tsunami. Some of the things we can experience include
- 29:21not having our appearance under constant scrutiny, not having to fight for space and
- 29:23conversations and actually asked, yeah, are you okay? Look, men have
- 29:33their appearance under You know. What was interesting to me is I noticed something
- 29:40about this flag that they have the weird sort of symbols and everything as a
- 29:45result of it. And this is something I've never noticed before. Men are
- 29:49feeling more free to I spoke about this, the guy with the nails and
- 29:56the other dude in the dress with the hoop earrings. I hope he was
- 30:00not trying to present as a woman because that wasn't happening. But but um,
- 30:06but they felt more free to express themselves visually because now they can they
- 30:11can appeal to the binary nombinary. Right, I'm non binary, you know,
- 30:18and so that protects me, am I as a man in expressing myself.
- 30:22You realize, dude, men don't get much shit about their appearance because
- 30:30they know that they have to wear their prison jammies every day and not draw
- 30:36attention to it. They've learned that, Yeah, you know, so they
- 30:41don't do it. And so I mean, who cares? Like, who
- 30:45cares if Jeff is wearing prison spots, prison smock number one or prison smock
- 30:51number two. There's almost no difference, So no one cares as long as
- 30:56he's in a prison smock. And that's the thing. This is why I
- 31:00brought up that how they're you know, using this non binary thing to actually
- 31:03increase their ability to express themselves visually. Okay, prior to that, you
- 31:11know, men are not supposed to draw attention to themselves visually, and if
- 31:14they do, they get shit. So they've learned not to. So you
- 31:18you're not you're not actually recognizing a privilege that you have as so much as
- 31:23not recognizing a disprivilege that men have lived with through their whole life. So
- 31:29they've accommodated. Now here here, dude, Okay, to understand this,
- 31:36go and look at the clothing choices that men have, right, the average
- 31:41clothing choices that men have. Look at how constrained they are. Like I
- 31:47said, they're basically a bunch of prisons mocks. And that's it. Now,
- 31:52realize that the fact that men's appearance is unremarkable, it's why it's not
- 31:59remarked to pawn and realize the pressure to conform to being as unobtrusive as possible
- 32:07is why there is such a restricted number of choices for men's attire and that.
- 32:13And the funny thing is is I've watched men's attire get more and more
- 32:16and more restrictive decade by decade by decade, I've watched more and you'll look
- 32:23look at the eighties. You remember the freaking booty shorts in the in the
- 32:27in the crop top t shirts that men were wearing. Yeah, Like if
- 32:31you look back in the like the videos, and then if you look back,
- 32:37the crop top shirt was the bomb. That was like yeah, and
- 32:42you go back to the seventies and I mean I wasn't part of the seventies,
- 32:45but I you could still see some of that in the eighties and men
- 32:49were wearing the super tight pants, yeah, and then at the shirt down
- 32:54to their navel and that kind of thing, like all of that, like
- 32:57year by year by year by year by year, men's clothing choices have been
- 33:00restricted to the prison smock. So nobody remarks on it because it's unremarkable,
- 33:06and that's the point. But the pressure is there, and you just did
- 33:09never notice it, did you, Because you didn't grow up a man,
- 33:15so you didn't you didn't experience the sausage maker. Right, And then he's
- 33:21turned he's turned around and no pining on something he has no freaking clue about.
- 33:24Yep, that's what I thought too. And I've seen a few videos,
- 33:30um and clips of trans men, uh, you know, basically using
- 33:36their this this kind of argument to attack regular men, you know, which,
- 33:42by the way, we never really cared about trans man. It wasn't
- 33:46like nobody, no men had said, oh my god, I don't want
- 33:49a woman in my bathroom. Well there was one woman who was, well,
- 33:53there was one trans man who was uh, who was beaten to death
- 33:59I think in the early in the nineties. But oh that's one we never
- 34:05like one compared to like thousands and thousands of gay and trans women a year,
- 34:12gay men and trans women years. But the one got got her own
- 34:15movie or his own movie. So we all know about it, Tanya or
- 34:21something going to Tom I think I don't remember the name. But anyway,
- 34:24it was a big thing back in the nineties. Um. But okay,
- 34:29so what else did they say? They said, actually being asked to share
- 34:31our opinions? Okay, well, yeah, like having space because apparently women
- 34:37can't do that, but now that she's a trans man, she can do
- 34:40that. So it's like, oh, I got this privilege? How does
- 34:45how does this individual know that? Like, I really have a doubt they
- 34:51don't know. But I even have a doubt that they talk about this transition,
- 34:54I really have. I really doubt they're at the point where people are
- 34:58calling them sir. Oh yeah, I know. No I don't, so
- 35:01how the hell do you even know this? And I can tell that they
- 35:05are reading off of some kind of script of course, because they're looking and
- 35:08you know I do that, but I write the script. Did this person
- 35:10write the script? I don't know? But regardless, like men get space,
- 35:20Yeah, well, where's the men's space to talk about their issues?
- 35:23Well? Make it? Nobody else does? Right? This is this is
- 35:28it and the other things? You know? What do you mean by space?
- 35:32Can ask to share your opinion? Okay? When are masked men asked?
- 35:37Really asked to share their opinion about anything? Yeah? I mean?
- 35:43And and you have you yet to have the whole be shamed by being said
- 35:47told your man's planning it? Apparently they're not being not being recognized as a
- 35:53man, then, m okay, all right to share our opinion. Having
- 36:00pockets that can fit more than two thirds of our cell phones paying that is
- 36:06Wait? Wait, wait, that is ridiculous. The pockets thing. Yeah,
- 36:09the pockets thing. You know why, I could tell you exactly why
- 36:14women's pockets are so shallow, all right. I went to a um A
- 36:21presentation. It was a it was an urban design kind of business presentation where
- 36:29we were presenting designs for Fort Mac way before it got burnt to the ground,
- 36:35UM. And I was partnered with a woman and she was like,
- 36:42I can't carry the like the the slide flicker or well. It was like,
- 36:47um, that thing that controls the power point in my pocket, because
- 36:54that will make me look fat. I got to take all the stuff out
- 36:57of my pockets. I'm like, dude, really, um, you know,
- 37:01I'm like waddling in with my industrially stuffed pockets. I don't care,
- 37:08but she did, and most women do. That's why they have these ridiculously
- 37:14small pockets, because they don't want their thighs to look fat, you know.
- 37:20And I have a solution for you, ladies. I know it requires
- 37:23you to have the least amount of personal responsibility and agency, but this is
- 37:28what I do. I have a fanny pack. That way I can carry
- 37:34everything um that I need. And I also have a satchel satchel. These
- 37:43are the things. Yeah, I know maybe men no a satchel. I
- 37:46have a satchel, but you could have a person. Maybe the men haven't
- 37:50informed women that there are things called bags, Like you guys have been holding
- 37:53out on us. And we compare this stuff to what we talk about.
- 38:02Yeah, bring the satchel back from men. Yeah, compare this to what
- 38:07we talk about. This is pathetic. Yeah, and though it is,
- 38:12it is so. Oh and men pay less for haircuts. That's because hit
- 38:17men have like you know, the their their haircut is what setting do you
- 38:22want on the on the razor? You want it on two or four?
- 38:27I only do two or four. I got a haircut recently. I literally
- 38:30said, I give me a two on the backs and the sides. So
- 38:35yeahs Like seriously, women are like, if you're going to cut women's hair,
- 38:40it's like rocket science. It's a progress. They're gonna tell you,
- 38:45like the reality show character that they're basing their hairstyle on, and you have
- 38:49to know who that is and you have to know all of the various alchemy
- 38:52and make it happen. Right, So that's why women's haircuts a cost more
- 38:58like literally it's it's the prison smart principle. More men's haircuts a two or
- 39:02four? What are women's haircuts? Well, first I want to have it
- 39:07feathered, and I also want to make sure that we get the property.
- 39:10You know, it's like it's an extended process. You want your haircuts to
- 39:15be as cheap as a man's haircut, then your haircut's got to be a
- 39:20two or four. Ladies the rock Ei Jane, Look, yeah, okay,
- 39:27all right, that's getting a noticeable increase in our paychecks. I don't
- 39:32well, for the love of God, what that is? Says bullshit?
- 39:39That's the wage gap. Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's the wage gap.
- 39:44Noticeable increase in your paycheck? Did you honestly? Oh you're a trans
- 39:49man, right you The moment you got called sir, they were like,
- 39:52sir, can we increase your paycheck by twent This doesn't even require any kind
- 40:02of commentary or argument. It's just bullshit on its face. It is,
- 40:07I mean, the premise from the get from the jump, it was bad.
- 40:13The moment you start with, well we since we live in a patriarchy,
- 40:16like everything else, you know, um falls apart thought called um,
- 40:28I guess, but have you seen the like the the video of the women.
- 40:34Oh h yeah, following that one hot dude and just creeping all over
- 40:38them. Yeah. Yeah, you're just a women get just like you know
- 40:45with musicians. Let's look at let's okay, how about this for a privilege?
- 40:51Now, if you get raped, sir, nobody cares. How's that
- 40:58for a privilege? Maybe? Maybe if you asked guys who have been raped,
- 41:02especially by women, if they had a choice between enduring cat calling or
- 41:07being in a society where where their experience actually is taken seriously, they might
- 41:13prefer the society of being cat called. Yet rape is actually your rape is
- 41:17actually taken seriously, and it is don't give me this shit. It one
- 41:22hundred percent is in the US as a charge of rape has the same rate
- 41:29of of being of ending in a conviction as any other crime, any other
- 41:37violent crime. And in in UK, which is freaking astounding, the charge
- 41:45of rape, the average crime is about fifty percent will end in a conviction.
- 41:52For rape, it's seventy five percent in the UK. You better goddamn
- 41:55believe they take the rape of women seriously. Hell, you can't even be
- 41:59raped if you're a man in the UK, unless it's by another man.
- 42:02Yep. So it's like, yeah, no, I think we got you
- 42:06beat dear hands down in terms of or at least this men's issues advocates in
- 42:14terms of problems that we're advocating for anybody giving a fuck about. Yeah,
- 42:21so we got a super chow. I thought, yeah, get it out
- 42:24real quick. So Great Indoors gives us five dollars and says, and now
- 42:30you women like doctor Helen Caldicott, who's an anti nuclear activist advocating candlelight instead
- 42:37of electricity, we're going full circle and getting dizzy. And certainly that was
- 42:43about twenty minutes ago. So thank you Great Indoors. I don't know if
- 42:45you want to say anything about that, but okay, thank you Great Indoors.
- 42:50And once again, if you want to send us a messages that feed
- 42:52the Badger dot com slash, just the tip very much appreciated. I don't
- 42:55see we've got anything in for the fundraiser, so I don't have anything thankies
- 43:00to give. I mean, if you guys want to take a moment to
- 43:01just go to feed the Badger dot com slash support and put in what you
- 43:05can, very much appreciated. Sometimes it feels like we're screaming into avoid.
- 43:09But when you guys support us, we know we're not um, you know.
- 43:14And also when you send us messages, nice messages like yeah you exist,
- 43:17we hear you. That's good too. But unfortunately, you know,
- 43:23things, things cost things, So it does really help to be able to
- 43:29continue to do this. So feed the Badger dot com slash support if you
- 43:32want to help us out with that. Um all right, all right,
- 43:37keep going. Let's keep going called not being afraid to take public transit,
- 43:42not feeling scared when walking alone at night. However, so okay, I
- 43:49would just go ahead. Do you want to say something not being scared at
- 43:52night? You don't need to be scared at night, to be honest,
- 43:57Well you do. Now if you get seem to be a man, you
- 44:02should be afraid of night now because now you have a far greater likelihood of
- 44:08getting your ass kicked or mug Yeah. So this is it. This is
- 44:14their list of stupid privileges. It's just a bunch of bullshit about what they
- 44:16think the men situation for men is. Yeah, I mean I think it's
- 44:22more like it is a longer video. There's it goes, it goes into
- 44:27like their transition and everything. But yeah, I think mostly it's just like
- 44:36this I don't know this like idea that um, this idea that like just
- 44:42because you transitioned, you can like very clearly see like all of these advantages
- 44:49and and you get to say, oh, well, this is how it
- 44:52changed how I feel like that whole Like I don't feel afraid, you know,
- 44:58when I'm walking at home at night. That's not something that can be
- 45:01measured by anyone. You're just telling us that you're What you're telling us is
- 45:07that when you were a woman, um, you were afraid, and for
- 45:10some reason we're made to be. I don't know if that makes sense.
- 45:17Yep, Like you don't. You shouldn't feel afraid because you're not like literally,
- 45:22you are not like literally you are not You are significantly less likely to
- 45:29be aggressed against than a man walking home at night. Yeah, full stop,
- 45:34that's it. It's just that men. Men have a higher I guess,
- 45:37risk tolerance, so they're more likely to do it. They're less likely
- 45:43to be afraid, they're more likely to just you know, assume everything's going
- 45:45to be fine. All right, yet okay, more we only retrace these
- 45:54privileges when we are read as this straight man, as trans men are,
- 45:59Male privilege is contingent on how well we pass and what we pass as.
- 46:04For instance, if a trans man is not taking testosterone, it is likely
- 46:07that he will be read by society as a butch lesbian. Being seen um,
- 46:12just pausing there for the banana, So might be seen as a butch
- 46:16lesbian is a problem. Why does it? Why does it matter? And
- 46:24what does that have to do with male privilege? I mean, I don't
- 46:30even think butch lesbians really are that distinct? Trump, Nah, people think
- 46:37people care that much? Yeah? Well, I mean, yeah, I
- 46:45just don't think that the butch lesbians really fall outside. I mean, because
- 46:49the thing is that the society gives women such a wide latitude for how they
- 46:54can behave simply because you know, they value women, and women get a
- 47:00lot more freedom in their expression and almost every every conceivable metric that I mean,
- 47:07aside from maybe a you know, like a drunken frat boy calling you
- 47:10a dike? Like, what really happens to push lesbians especially compared to gay
- 47:15men? All right, let's keep going. All right, maybe something interesting
- 47:22comes out of this person's mouth. As a queer woman makes someone very susceptible
- 47:27to misogynists. Please don't laugh like discrimination. Oh no it doesn't right,
- 47:35Oh god damn. You want to talk about the violence, that being a
- 47:38queer woman or a lesbian makes you vulnerable due domestic violence, like it's I've
- 47:45read the stats in the US again, the UK is some sort of weird
- 47:49anomally because apparently British men are works. But everywhere else a woman is like
- 47:54in the US, in particular, a woman is If a woman has a
- 47:58female partner, she's nineteen times more likely to be subject to domestic violence and
- 48:04murder than if she has a male partner. I think it's a nineteen.
- 48:07It was like some unbelievably ridiculous might have been nine, not nineteen unbelievably ridiculous
- 48:14multiplying factor. And no, you're not like I have seen the lists of
- 48:20men killed by homophobic violence the vastly dwarf women, and honestly, most of
- 48:30the women were probably killed by their female partners on that list. Let's let's
- 48:34be frank, you know, so this is this is not something like this
- 48:38is a gay man's problem that you have co opted to somehow become a trans
- 48:45man's problem. And from there a woman's problem, which has got to be
- 48:52the most nuanced use of intersectionality asking it, I would give that that gymnastics
- 48:59routine a nine. How many nuances? Is it getting nine? Nine out
- 49:05of ten? Nine out of ten nuances? Congratulations? That is one of
- 49:09the most spectacular series of back flip backflips to land on women. Have it
- 49:14worse I've ever seen. Okay, um, I got a super I got
- 49:21a super shower from I guess it's just an anonymous post for fifty dollars and
- 49:28no message, so, you know, thank you so much for that.
- 49:34But I don't know, like what if you wanted to send us a message,
- 49:37you can DM me or I'm sorry, tagged me in a post in
- 49:43the live chat and add the message because sometimes people don't get it through.
- 49:46So all right anyway, Oh and Senior Stix gives us two dollars and says
- 49:53reading feminists please for the fans and myself. Oh, I don't have that
- 49:59yet. That sound. I'm sorry. I'm still working on like getting my
- 50:04library together. So and that, I think is it. So let's continue
- 50:09the video. If a trans man is perceived as a lesbian, he is
- 50:15not benefiting from male privilege, and while some trans men do pass assist men
- 50:19we maybe read as sis gay men. Sometimes this is a result of habits
- 50:22we retain from our female socialization. Like, all right, so could you
- 50:28stop with the vocal fry please? Yeah? That might help? Well,
- 50:35I don't okay, never mind. The thing is another thing they have this
- 50:40kind of like broady you know, um, what's the name of that woman
- 50:47that that the comedian? Just like this thro voice. I don't know why
- 50:52it's I think it's the hormones they're taking, but but it sounds like that.
- 50:58It's it's like vocal all the time. You know. Another thing that
- 51:01would make him pass better if he actually acted, he actually had a masculine
- 51:07gender expression, and that would mean that he'd have to knock off the scrabbling
- 51:14for victim of points that he's doing. Yeah, okay, dude, the
- 51:20big difference between men and women, and you're going to have a hell of
- 51:22a lot, a hell of a time trying to pass for a man with
- 51:27that facial structure, with the broad broadness through the cheekbones and the forehead and
- 51:34the thinness in his chin. So you might want to consider learning how men
- 51:39express themselves in terms of their gender. Yeah, because it's different than women.
- 51:46And right here, right now, you are acting like a woman because
- 51:51you are greedily grabbing after victimhood points and trying to avoid being perceived to be
- 51:59powerful or having having strength. Okay, that is the exact opposite when men
- 52:06express themselves. And this I'm basing this on psychological statistics that haven't been tainted
- 52:12by the feminists. You know, they're ironically there is this like this this
- 52:16quiet underground current of people doing real science in psychology sociology. Yeah, they
- 52:25just sort of they just sort of like try not to not to do catch
- 52:30the attention of the feminist t rex. So they're just quietly off in their
- 52:35corner. We're doing real science. They can't see you if you don't move,
- 52:38Yeah, they can't, yeah exactly. But anyway, so they found
- 52:44that the way that men express themselves can be defined in terms of or the
- 52:50the way they expresses the wrong way to not express in terms of a performance,
- 52:55but express in terms of behavior, like I don't know, flying is
- 53:00an expression of a bird, um of a bird's physiometry, whatever. Men
- 53:07see themselves in terms of their effect on their environment. So you can see
- 53:13that in the things that boys are drawn to, Like they're drawn to trucks
- 53:19and um, you know, cars and stuff and that that stuff that allows
- 53:22them to carry more or to move faster. They love that kind of stuff,
- 53:27right, um. And they like testing themselves against their environment. That's
- 53:30a male expression. It seeks to see itself in terms of its its effect
- 53:37on the environment. Yeah, and to increase the power of that effect on
- 53:40the environment. Okay, you're not doing that. You're not passing, you're
- 53:49not even trying to pass. And you know why because you have no actual
- 53:54pue clue what men are like or what they do. And that is that
- 54:01like everything you do indicates you know nothing about men. Nothing. I don't
- 54:14even know what you think you're emulating. Yeah, yeah, Well, and
- 54:22it's freaking sad because this is you are acting like a woman. Yep,
- 54:30you are acting. And you're not just acting like a woman. You're acting
- 54:35because you know women. There can be women who are more integrated who don't
- 54:42act like this, who maybe advocate for the vulnerability of other people, like
- 54:46Florence Nightingale or Madame Curie. You know, they went and they actually tried
- 54:54to help men. In many cases, they tried to ameliorate the suffering of
- 55:00war on men. You don't do that. You're not even a masculine woman.
- 55:07Okay, you are in your mind, and I know you identify as
- 55:13a man, which is I have why I don't understand because you don't obviously
- 55:19have no interest in finding what men actually act like, or express themselves or
- 55:24think like, which you know and yeah, apparently he claims he exists.
- 55:34Don't don't miss gender because I can get us. Sorry, I'm sorry,
- 55:39I'm yeah, I'm do you know, just just not demonetized, you even
- 55:44amortized. I'm not gonna do It's okay, It's okay, I'm gonna struggle
- 55:52like you. You think of yourself as a man. You want people to
- 55:55say you're a man, but you don't understand anything about them, nor do
- 55:59you want to act plick one yep, Okay, I'll call you he,
- 56:07but you're making a mockery of the word. Um, I'm gonna call him
- 56:16Harry Weasley because he looks like the love child of Harry Potter and and Weasley
- 56:23to me like like the mix, you know. Anyway, Yeah, speaking
- 56:31with varied inflection, standing with our weight distributed unevenly, we're talking excessively with
- 56:36our hands, no matter what causes it. Being perceived as a CIS gay
- 56:39man impacts our access to mail privilege. Well, CIS gay men do experience
- 56:44mail privilege. They also face discrimination and violence based on homophobia and asogyn All
- 56:49right, stop, I swear to God. That's an exact example of what
- 56:54intersectionality does. Yep. Intersectionality is just a series of new wants to take
- 57:00all the issues that men face more because gay men far more affected by homophobia
- 57:07than gay women, and then somehow make it that they still have male privilege.
- 57:14Where where is it? Is it because they pay less and for haircuts?
- 57:20Well, actually, I don't think gay men do pay less for haircuts
- 57:22because they they aren't satisfied with the two in the four. That's true,
- 57:28but they also are more likely to know someone who can do their hair for
- 57:30them. Yes, that then you know, But also they are more likely
- 57:37to be can't called. So there you go for that privilege. They do
- 57:40make more money than but they did make more money even than straight men.
- 57:46So is that game the gay men are like the top top tier moneymakers because
- 57:54what does that make Well, I'm just gonna say, because like in Chicago,
- 58:00when I lived in. I lived close to this area that people call
- 58:02Boys Town, which is the gay and well mostly gay but also lesbian like
- 58:07community. It was a bit weird, but all of those buildings were really
- 58:13expensive. So like, these guys, they were doing well. And probably
- 58:16because if you form a partnership with another man and you're both working, and
- 58:21you both have like high achieving jobs and you and you both are willing to
- 58:24do the over you know, whatever, the overtime um, then yeah,
- 58:30you're really going to be bringing it home. So no surprise there. But
- 58:34yeah, gay men do very well financially, I guess. Yeah, but
- 58:40like go through all of that, what Okay, So I guess maybe they
- 58:47get more for the wage gap. Is it really because gay men just our
- 58:52patriarchy really loves gay men? Yeah? Right, Like that is that the
- 58:57way that works? Because it's was like that should be the data outlier that
- 59:01really explains why men make more. And maybe it's just because you know,
- 59:07they're not women and they don't deal with them. I'm sorry, was it
- 59:15asked always David? So? But yeah, like it's it's if we look
- 59:22at that data point, is there any reason for gay men to make more
- 59:28except maybe one of the averaging factors is that you have the supermasculine gay men
- 59:35who are is much more motivated to be a workaholic because work is one again
- 59:38one of those ways that men express their desire to see an effect in the
- 59:43greater world, Like work is literally that well maybe that's spending their money on
- 59:51women. Yeah, well, but it's also the income, not just what
- 59:53they spend on Yeah, I know. It's like it's it's how much they
- 59:58make, how, you know, And and then it's offset by how much
- 1:00:02excessive spending is involved, like um, you know, like for women basically
- 1:00:08like expensive clothes, jewelry, whatever, Um I think, yeah, yeah,
- 1:00:14and then the whole like oh, you know, I gotta get a
- 1:00:15ring. I mean, it's it's just that, you know, Um,
- 1:00:22gay men don't have to spend their money on women, so I think they
- 1:00:25benefit from that. They gets to save some money for their perceived feminity.
- 1:00:30Being seen as a CIS gay man does enable some aspects of male privilege,
- 1:00:35but it also presents severals and even if a trans guide does pass as a
- 1:00:38CIS straight man, there are still certain things he will go through that assists
- 1:00:42man never will. Some of those things might include all right, pausing it
- 1:00:46there, Yeah, this is the intersectional booty hole. Um, and there's
- 1:00:55there's the one huge thing that cis men will have to go through that you
- 1:01:00never will, which actually honestly makes me sort of sick that this individual is
- 1:01:07calling himself a man. Yeah, because he's not gonna have to he's not
- 1:01:12gonna have to sign up for the draft, he's not gonna have to put
- 1:01:15his life in the line to protect society. And yet he gets to call
- 1:01:21himself a man. Well yeah, and then immediately like, um, you
- 1:01:28know, call yourself a man and then start talking about what men need to
- 1:01:31do and where they sit in the you know, the sort of oppression hierarchy
- 1:01:36in this in this person's mind. So you're you're speaking on men and you
- 1:01:43only just did that, and what is it which is kind of like,
- 1:01:46you know, the most like um hardcore example of women going into male spaces
- 1:01:53and then changing everything. So I'm not saying this is a woman. I'm
- 1:02:00saying the behavior is comparable, okay, And so you're never going to have
- 1:02:06to go to war to protect everybody else in society and I don't care.
- 1:02:10I got into this long argument of the feminist all, it's men sending men
- 1:02:15to It's not men sending men to war. Its society sending men to war.
- 1:02:20Society is what makes it acceptable because you know what's sending men to their
- 1:02:25deaths and infrastructure, it's social needs plus an indifference to male suffering. Okay,
- 1:02:34that's the same thing that's behind war politicians, male or female, because
- 1:02:38female politicians, when women are the heads of states, they don't send people
- 1:02:44to war less. So it's not It has nothing to do with the whether
- 1:02:49the person who's hitting the war button has a penis or vagina obviously, Okay.
- 1:02:55It is societies that go to war, and they often go to war
- 1:03:00because they perceive a potential benefit or a lack in their resources. And why
- 1:03:06because those resources go to women. That's why society exists, no offense,
- 1:03:13it's why society exists. And as a result, there is this compulsion to
- 1:03:21sacrifice men to provide resources for women, either in war or through these incredibly
- 1:03:28dangerous infrastructure products projects or other kinds of harvesting that's dangerous, either getting oil
- 1:03:35or minerals or whale blubber. Okay, that's what we do. That is
- 1:03:40how society is structured since time immemorial. Men do dangerous things to gather resources
- 1:03:46for women or not. Often those resources don't necessarily have to be only physical.
- 1:03:53They can also be social. So go out and kick the ass of
- 1:03:59the neighboring tribe and you can come back and you've counted coop against their chief
- 1:04:02and suddenly you're the chief and you're you're girls the chief's wife. Okay.
- 1:04:08So this is what men do. They put themselves on the line to provide
- 1:04:12for women, and that war is a part of that. And it's no
- 1:04:16more chosen by men than a peak. A peacock has chosen his tail,
- 1:04:24right, a peacock grows the tail, but he hasn't chosen it, and
- 1:04:29he hasn't constructed it. Okay, So this thing is huge, and it's
- 1:04:33completely ignored by him. He's never going to have to go to war to
- 1:04:38protect anybody else in his life. He doesn't understand the pressure of that,
- 1:04:43because even when it's not actually happening there, it's still in the back of
- 1:04:47men's minds somewhere, Okay, all right, coming out as trans facing rejection
- 1:04:58from loved ones, losing housing, having at a high risk for poverty,
- 1:05:00being more likely to be in an abusive relationship. Struggling to find this,
- 1:05:04does this correlation? Or Okay, you're if you're trans, you're more likely
- 1:05:09to be an abusive relationship. Yeah, presumably you're in in a relationship with
- 1:05:14women. What I've noticed is that, um, trans men and trans women
- 1:05:19really don't challenge the idea of who society expects you to be attracted to.
- 1:05:26So for the most part, trans men want to be in relationships with women,
- 1:05:30and trans women want to be in relationships with women. That's what I've
- 1:05:31noticed. Huh, it makes sense. Yeah, so if you're trans,
- 1:05:40you're more likely to be in a relationship with a woman. Well, no,
- 1:05:42wonder you're dealing with more domestic violence. Congratulations, yep. Um.
- 1:05:48But the other thing, well, I guess also men are more likely to
- 1:05:50be in a relationship with women. Well, a disproportionate percentage of trans people
- 1:05:58have had like you know, childhood. Yeah, yeah, like they've been
- 1:06:04like sexually abused or correlation is a correlation or causation what I'm saying? Or
- 1:06:14yeah, but that's the question is are trans people more likely to be abused
- 1:06:18or abuse people more likely to be trans? Well there's that, and then
- 1:06:23also in turn be abusive, which is probably why the domestic issues between trans
- 1:06:28people you know, are a problem, because if they've been abused, and
- 1:06:31they're more likely to abuse in turn. So okay, oh, miss Anne
- 1:06:41of ARC gives us five dollars through a super chowl thank you, and says,
- 1:06:45these poor kids are going to experience the school of hard knocks once they
- 1:06:48have to get their hands dirty for once. Okay, they probably won't.
- 1:06:57So you know, I don't think any trans men are going into the coal
- 1:07:00coal mines or the oil rigs or yeah, you know, firefighting. No,
- 1:07:09no, no, no, They're probably gonna look for jobs in the
- 1:07:15um, you know, cubicle sector, do a desk job and be done
- 1:07:18with it anyway. Be in affirming healthcare, needing invasive and expensive surgeries to
- 1:07:25feel at home and feeling safe, not feeling safe traveling? What oh god
- 1:07:38is it? Oh? You mean like if you are uh like not passing
- 1:07:44and you get on a plane and some random like you know, passenger flips
- 1:07:48out. Is that what you do? Is that? What you mean?
- 1:07:51Like, that's a dude, you know, if it if it prove if
- 1:07:57I here's this trans man's pre vilage over a cists man's privilege. It's likely
- 1:08:02that the only genital surgery that will be done to you will be voluntary.
- 1:08:05You will have chosen it, hopefully as an adult, whereas sists men in
- 1:08:12the US has a fifty fifty chance of having had his genitals cut into when
- 1:08:19he wasn't old enough to object without anesthesia. Yep, that's what really gets
- 1:08:27me. I mean, they don't even cut they don't even castrate caps without
- 1:08:30anesthesia now because it's considered cruelty, or at least the veterinary people can recommend
- 1:08:36it. But you know, boys, you can do that. Just cut,
- 1:08:43just slice into And the funny thing is is that people constance will all,
- 1:08:47but it is not. It's just a flap of skin. Okay,
- 1:08:49well your nail is just a little flap of curtinous material there. What do
- 1:08:56you think of taking a little baby boy at the age of six days old
- 1:09:00old, taking a razor blade and just popping off some nails. Does that
- 1:09:05sound like something that we should be doing to babies that isn't a sexual part.
- 1:09:12But surely that you know the same principle applied to a boy's penis.
- 1:09:16I mean, even if you don't consider what they're cutting off the penis to
- 1:09:20be sexual, which is astounding to me. I mean, you got to
- 1:09:25at least realize that if you're if you, if you have a doctor who's
- 1:09:29like, you know, your baby boys thumbnails they could use with a bit
- 1:09:32of a we should cut them off just so he doesn't get them dirty and
- 1:09:38just takes a razor and starts going. Would we'll be okay with that?
- 1:09:45Let's just take it out of the realm of the argument over how much is
- 1:09:48sexual parts are taken off with circumcision? Would we be okay with doing that?
- 1:09:55No one? If we only did it with baby girls, Believe me,
- 1:09:59the feminist will be all over that. So yeah, that is a
- 1:10:01privilege that trans man has. Your Your genitals are yours to fuck with,
- 1:10:08ye assists man, and a lot of trans women have already had their genitals
- 1:10:13fucked with before they were old enough to punch the fucker who was touching them.
- 1:10:19Okay. Needing to amend every legal document under the sun to avoid scrutiny
- 1:10:26from bartenders, bankers, ts, agents, and anyone else who needs to
- 1:10:30see legal forms of identification see all. Imagine having to give identification. Imagine
- 1:10:39imagine, Imagine that's something that sounds that sounds that just sounds like so much
- 1:10:44emotional. This is also privilege that system women. Okay, this, this
- 1:10:51is a privilege, sistus. Women also have not having to deal with fucking
- 1:10:55paperwork to change their gender identity. So this is ridiculous. Why are you
- 1:10:58calling it male privilege? Yep, yep. And you know again, like
- 1:11:05all of this sounds like stuff that they felt was true for that when they
- 1:11:12were female and not when they're now male, which you haven't been you know,
- 1:11:18you haven't been a man your whole life, So these things all the
- 1:11:24time. These are just some of the experiences that many trans men go through.
- 1:11:28Being a man can be challenging for anyone, but being trans ads combersome
- 1:11:31layers to being will wait a second, can we go through that again?
- 1:11:36Being a man can be challenging for anyone? Is I got that too?
- 1:11:43I was like, well, what about man? You should group, You
- 1:11:49should put that on your soundboard. A man can be challenging for anyone,
- 1:11:58you know what, I take it all back. I find being a man
- 1:12:00challenging as and as a part of the anyone group. Okay, but seriously,
- 1:12:09like this is the moment where I think he's actually expressing a truth.
- 1:12:13M hm, oh, yeah, you're right. Where the hell did that
- 1:12:16come from? Being a man could be challenging for anybody. Really, I
- 1:12:23thought you had you have your invisible, weightless knapsack. Yeah, you're luckily.
- 1:12:30This knapsack is invisible and weightless, so you can't measure it and you
- 1:12:34can't see it. But all the tools I need, but I never have
- 1:12:40to actually use them, so you won't ever see it. But I swear
- 1:12:45it's there. All right. God, this this this stuff, these people
- 1:12:53believe it is just so dumb it is and adscomer some layers to being a
- 1:13:00man. Additionally, if a transman does not transition in a strictly binary way,
- 1:13:04he may not access many aspects of male privilege. For instance, not
- 1:13:09every transman is able to have, or even wants to have gender affirming surgeries.
- 1:13:15So a penis is a privilege now of course, of course, well
- 1:13:20what does this as having a penis? Being born as a man? Literally?
- 1:13:26Transmitt guys literally transmant are taking over the last space left to men,
- 1:13:32which is being born in a man. I know, I don't. I
- 1:13:42really wouldn't have a problem with it, Like no, like really, if
- 1:13:45you identifies a man. That's fine, but this framing is absolutely disgusting.
- 1:13:50Men. They're privilege by having been born in a male body and nothing else
- 1:13:55because I wanted that. Yeah, that's that's well, not only is that
- 1:14:00one percent the way women think it seems in especially feminist women, but it's
- 1:14:04still a really disturbing framing. Yep, it doesn't make men privilege for God's
- 1:14:11sake. M But did you see what she just he just did there?
- 1:14:17What? Oh yeah I did? I did. Yeah. I think it's
- 1:14:23exactly what you said. He's they're taking over the last spacelift to men.
- 1:14:28Yeah, the last space that men have, which is men's own space.
- 1:14:30And the funny thing is is that like SIS men, I mean, like
- 1:14:34I said before, they generally they're not as vocally concerned about trans men as
- 1:14:44SIS women are of trans women. Yeah. Yeah, that's the other thing
- 1:14:47that's not being mentioned. Yeah, you know what, what lirivilege do you
- 1:14:51have over trans women? Men will welcome you are like nope, men are
- 1:14:57like freaking flipping out and getting hugely caustic and dehumanizing because of trans men.
- 1:15:05Conservative people don't even care. But everybody's flipping out of her trans women.
- 1:15:13M okay, all right. Several states. If you don't get those surgeries,
- 1:15:20you can't change your legal gender marker. This can lead to all kinds
- 1:15:24of embarrassing and even dangerous problems every time someone checks your ID. You also
- 1:15:29don't get to see that increase in your paycheck. Oh god, oh god,
- 1:15:36dude, this is not believable. Like literally, you're like, oh,
- 1:15:42I identify as a man, and then the HR Department's like, oh,
- 1:15:45here's your twenty percent raise. Yeah. Suit, that was the thing
- 1:15:53they did in Velma, where um, you know, like she dressed up
- 1:15:57as a man and automatically got all these like, let you know, legs
- 1:16:00up in everything. Um, that's what this guy is. Fred is going
- 1:16:06to be killed by his parents expendability because he's not measuring up to what they
- 1:16:11want in a man. Yeah, it's what's really really is that is completely
- 1:16:15unself aware, Like the writer is completely unself aware. He's she's writing the
- 1:16:20fantasy that feminists have for what men experience, and also the reality of what
- 1:16:26men actually experience is that when they do not measure up, they're treated as
- 1:16:30expendable. Yep, yep, okay. And it's important to note that not
- 1:16:39everyone wants to change their legal gender. Some people may not feel like they
- 1:16:42identify with an f orgn M. For example, comedian and transman Ian Harvey,
- 1:16:46who easily passes as a sisman, says he does not want to change.
- 1:16:50Oh I'm just pausing it there for the banana. But this guy looks
- 1:16:56his legal gender because while he identifies as a well, actually, now that
- 1:16:59now that I know it's a trans man, I can see it man,
- 1:17:03he does not identify as male. He also fears what would happen if he
- 1:17:06ever found himself in jail. He does not want to end up in a
- 1:17:10men's Well, what do you really he doesn't want to end up in a
- 1:17:13men's prison. Oh yeah, I probably be safer, Like seriously, no,
- 1:17:16no, actually do wait wait, let's go through that. Why do
- 1:17:23you realize that the rate of rate an assault in women's prison is something like
- 1:17:30two times that of men's. Yep, and you're also a woman. You
- 1:17:36know you might get some problem. Actually, you'd probably get more problems in
- 1:17:41a woman's prison. Honestly, you would be marked. No, he would.
- 1:17:47But at the same time, it's like, you don't want to go
- 1:17:49to prison, You really don't want to go to a woman's prison because women
- 1:17:55once again that privilege. You know that women get a sixty percent discount.
- 1:17:59That means that you take the average male prison and they're sort of like the
- 1:18:02cream of the criminal soup of society. Well, you take that cream of
- 1:18:06the criminal soup of society and then you distill it again and you get the
- 1:18:11seething abyss a horror that is a woman's prison. You don't want to go
- 1:18:16there. No, I mean I didn't watch Orange is the New Black,
- 1:18:20but I didn't hear about any of that stuff. Yeah, Orange is the
- 1:18:26New Black is the sanitized very It might as well be like some kind of
- 1:18:31playboy I away doing the women's prison. Everybody's in bikini bottoms and we're doing
- 1:18:36I think it was it was a feminist show. I never watched it,
- 1:18:41but I think that ultimately is what it was. It was sort of like,
- 1:18:45well there, huh, were there like a ton of women being raped
- 1:18:48by table legs? No, No, I don't think there was. I
- 1:18:54don't watch it, but I didn't hear anything about that. It's just maybe
- 1:18:57it was like we're not discovering that they're actually lesbians, and you know,
- 1:19:00sexy time with other prison inmates, and uh, that's like the hardest part
- 1:19:05of it, you know, like it's there's no people getting raped with table
- 1:19:11legs, which I'm not laughing at. That's not funny at all. Okay,
- 1:19:18well, I know it's it's like darkly funny because it's like it's you
- 1:19:23just oppose it with what's actually people think. I was like, no,
- 1:19:27no, like these these are the worst or the worst, you know.
- 1:19:30I mean, there was this this whole hullabaloo about this this this trans woman
- 1:19:34who or this this person who identified as a woman who is a rapist of
- 1:19:39women, serial rapist I think of women in the UK. And I was
- 1:19:43like, oh, he's gonna go to the he's gonna go to the man
- 1:19:45do the I don't think he identifies as a woman anymore. Maybe he learned
- 1:19:48because he actually went to a woman's prison. Um, you know there the's
- 1:19:54gonna identify as a woman and he's gonna go to a woman's prison and he's
- 1:19:59a rapist. I'm like, yeah, there are also rapists and women's prisons,
- 1:20:03a lot of them exist, and um, and here's here's the thing.
- 1:20:06It's like, this seems like it's gonna if your problem. It solves
- 1:20:10itself because he's a rapist of women. He's going to a women's prison.
- 1:20:15Okay, and in the UK, Like when I said that the US female
- 1:20:21population, it's like, you take the male prison population, that's a cream
- 1:20:26of soup of criminality, cream of criminality soup, and then you concentrate that,
- 1:20:30you get the women's popsulation. You distill that like you distill it too.
- 1:20:36If you were distilling alcohol, you'd have like two hundred three percent proof
- 1:20:43that's a UK women's prison. Yeah, Like so fucking evil. I think
- 1:20:49that that dude. And the thing is that it's a it's a numbers game.
- 1:20:53I was talking about with the patrons about this. It's a numbers game.
- 1:20:56That man's gonna go into the prison. He's gonna be it's supposed tramp
- 1:21:00women, a rapist of women. He is going to be marked, yeah,
- 1:21:04by every woman in that prison. That man is going to be raped
- 1:21:12to the point where he's shooting pieces of his own liver. So I'm like,
- 1:21:15this is a problem that solves itself as far as I'm concerned. Send
- 1:21:18him to the prudent's prison, Yeah, but don't don't put him in PC.
- 1:21:28Let's protective custody. Let him be in the general population. He'll be
- 1:21:31a greasy smear within a few days. All right, all right, The
- 1:21:35f provides a sense of safety. It's important to remember that one's document itself
- 1:21:40is not necessarily the same as one's lived self in the very combination of those
- 1:21:45elements impacts how one access his privilege. For I want a gender where you
- 1:21:49just don't give a fuck about gender? Yeah, right, is that?
- 1:21:55I think I think there is a gender that does that. There's a gender
- 1:21:59for that. Yeah, But is it the gender where you're like, Okay,
- 1:22:01I was assigned female at birth. I just don't give a fuck,
- 1:22:05like whatever, that's what you perceived me of. I don't. I don't
- 1:22:09really want to. Well, you gotta make sure that you play a good,
- 1:22:15you know, interesting role in their head cannon. That's why they that's
- 1:22:20why they want to put you in a box. Okay, let's just furthermore,
- 1:22:27trans men typically do not experience the privileges that come from a lifetime of
- 1:22:30male socialization. Six. Men are taught from movies, what do you see,
- 1:22:34books, video games, and the men around us that they can be
- 1:22:38lowed and take up space. What are you fucking talking about See. So
- 1:22:45I think what this guy is doing is is building a you know, so
- 1:22:51slowly building the case that trans men do not have male privilege. And to
- 1:22:59do that they have to bring in all of this, you know, these
- 1:23:04talking points and postmodern bullshit, and literally he's just literally he's literally made men
- 1:23:15occupying their own bodies some kind of crime against morality by saying, oh,
- 1:23:19it's a privilege, it's a privilege to be born with a penis. Well,
- 1:23:25I mean, I guess in some ways you could argue that, But
- 1:23:28what he means when he uses the term privilege, now, I think I
- 1:23:30was discussing this, like, privilege is the marker for the people who are
- 1:23:34allowed to be disprivileged, well, the men who are allowed to be disprivileged
- 1:23:39to be discriminated against. So now he said that having a body is an
- 1:23:45unfair advantage that men have. You are literally taking away men right to have
- 1:23:51any space at all, including the space that God, the spaghetti monster and
- 1:23:57evolution gave them. And you have the fucking audacity to turn around and spew
- 1:24:05this self righteous, victim self victimhood crap. Men aren't taught to take up
- 1:24:15space, Okay, their space ends the moment it offends a woman. And
- 1:24:23that is in every game, every book, every movie, and every TV
- 1:24:27show. The villain is always the man who offends women, unless he's quirky
- 1:24:32and you've established him as sympathetic beforehand, like maybe House and the guy who's
- 1:24:38in US, Uh not like doctor House and um and the guy Jack Nicholson
- 1:24:46played I think of a woman. Yeah, what's the name of that movie?
- 1:24:50I know, the one you're talking about where he plays a writer.
- 1:24:53M Yeah, as good as it gets, that's what it is. As
- 1:24:56good as it gets. Yeah, yeah, all right, But for the
- 1:24:59most hurt. If you want to categorize a man as a villain who at
- 1:25:02the end of the movie will be taking no space because he'll be a corpse,
- 1:25:05you have him offend, harm or insult women. So men's space stops
- 1:25:14where it offends women. And believe me, I have watched the circle of
- 1:25:18women's offense expand faster than the dollar inflates. Like there's some serious inflation going
- 1:25:29on when it comes to women's offense and victimization. Ye, So don't give
- 1:25:36me this fucking shit. God, he knows nothing about being a man.
- 1:25:42I know more about being a man and I'm not even a man. Well,
- 1:25:46yeah, they're just operating under these stereotypes that they think are the norm.
- 1:25:50And then they claim to be against stereotyping and they claim to actually have
- 1:25:56questioned anything like, literally, you're acting like a woman. You have no
- 1:26:00expression that is masculine at all. Yep, Okay, I'm not saying you're
- 1:26:11I'm not saying I'm not going to say that you are a woman. I'm
- 1:26:15not going to call you a woman. I'm just gonna say you're acting like
- 1:26:17one. You are acting like one. Yeah, and that's fine if you
- 1:26:24are a woman, but you are not. Yep. I got another superhow
- 1:26:30five dollars by another anonymous person and they said, if we men didn't exist,
- 1:26:38who would they blame for everything they deem as patriarchy. If having a
- 1:26:42penis is a privilege, then they should get mutilated slash circumcised to feel the
- 1:26:47privilege of what it's like to live without part of your janitals. Spoiler you
- 1:26:51won't feel much after. Also a bit off topic, but anyone else noticed
- 1:26:56that they're calling Dylan an actress instead of actor. Remember the whole it's sexist
- 1:27:00to call female actresses actresses, So we should just call them actors. Yeah,
- 1:27:04that that's interesting point um that you know feminists and uh well, feminists
- 1:27:12were basically agitating to you know, that we should stop referring to jobs,
- 1:27:17um, job titles as gendered and because somehow it's demeaning to women to call
- 1:27:24them actresses instead of actors, because they think that the word actor has taken
- 1:27:29more seriously for some reason and turned out that like, you know, they
- 1:27:33got that done and they stopped doing that and now they want it back.
- 1:27:38Because yeah, because because trans women so okay, they are taught that their
- 1:27:48masculinity equal power and that they can express that power as aggressively as they like.
- 1:27:53Trans men usually up learning the opposite. What yeah, yeah, of
- 1:27:59course where and how they're taught not to hit a woman if you actually appear
- 1:28:06to be a man, go hit a woman in public, dude, if
- 1:28:11he hit me, hit them, or have her hit you. Yeah.
- 1:28:16If if men were like the way that feminists always describe men like, we'd
- 1:28:23all be like it would be there'd be very few men left. I just
- 1:28:27put it that way. If if if any um, I just can't like,
- 1:28:32where do these people come from? I swear to god they they're just
- 1:28:38taking a thrill and lying to people's faces. Yeah, that could be true.
- 1:28:42Men's violence is not allowed, especially expressed against women. Maybe against other
- 1:28:46men, but not expressed against women. Absolutely not acceptable, not acceptable to
- 1:28:55express their anger their violence against women are what the hell do you think?
- 1:28:59Oh? Oh god? All right? I had there was actually a woman
- 1:29:05who transitioned to a man who was honest about this. Not No, she
- 1:29:13doesn't transition. Actually, she's probably going to be more honest because she doesn't.
- 1:29:16She isn't losing the desire to be a man or to you know,
- 1:29:19she isn't losing um when she becomes a man. She never really desired to
- 1:29:25be a man. So she's not seeing the world through finally getting what she
- 1:29:29wants, right, Yeah, um, so she's probably she is probably a
- 1:29:32better better example of a woman being a man, all right, and a
- 1:29:40more honest example. But there was one trans man who when he was fully
- 1:29:46seen as a man, got angry and he had people a person, I
- 1:29:51think maybe one person, maybe several people come up to him and starts saying,
- 1:29:56you gotta you gotta be knocked it off, You gotta knock it off.
- 1:30:00Can't you can't behave dude? We are not allowed to get angry.
- 1:30:05That's why they have wish fulfillment fantasies. Hollywood allows them to get angry in
- 1:30:12them because when men get angry to get arrested, you forget that. Yeah,
- 1:30:20no, all right, we have to fight the messages society sent us
- 1:30:28about being small, quiet and invisible. We don't have access to that power
- 1:30:31inherently given to sis men. Yeah, so of course I was. I
- 1:30:45was a victim before I became privileged, but not but not really privileged.
- 1:30:50Like it's that's the whole case it's being built here is that I'm still basically
- 1:30:56a woman, so I want the respect that comes with that. But I
- 1:31:00want you to address me by my proper pronouns and treat me like a man
- 1:31:03in the good ways. I want all the good stuff, the good things,
- 1:31:11and being privilege is not a good thing to them, and sometimes it's
- 1:31:16not a good thing period. Like that's again, it's the marker for who
- 1:31:19you get to discriminate against, shut up, be violent towards, aggress against
- 1:31:24abuse, and render invisible. H Well, that's all it is at this
- 1:31:29point. It's just you. You just apply the label privileged and then they
- 1:31:32can't talk yep, and you can discribe openly discriminate against them. All right,
- 1:31:39let's it's a strong aggressive role. SI. Men react with violence.
- 1:31:43Our male privilege is entirely dependent on man. They're just they're just ready to
- 1:31:47start, They're just ready to throw down. They're just rack at any time.
- 1:31:54I was, I boxed my wife last night. Some some people have
- 1:32:00stupidity thrust upon them and some choose it is a lifestyle, and you have
- 1:32:04chosen stupidity. Yeah, where are men allowed to be violent in prison?
- 1:32:15Not even there? No God damn, Like what this is like? Just
- 1:32:19delusion after delusion after delusion. Yeah, it is, it is, It's
- 1:32:27all, it's all. But the thing is, it's I think that you
- 1:32:30have to build this giant, like goofy looking like you know, mouse Trap
- 1:32:36style. You remember the board of game mouse Trap which had all the moving
- 1:32:40parts. It was like one of those machines. And you have to build
- 1:32:45all that because you're starting from the premise that you know, men have all
- 1:32:49these bad qualities and have basically like harmed the world and they they've especially oppressed
- 1:32:56women. If you start from that premise, you have to build this machine
- 1:33:01to make it, to make the premise work, because that's what he's trying
- 1:33:04to do. Right, Yeah, so how we are read. But another
- 1:33:09frustrating difference between how trans men and sist men experience their genders is that some
- 1:33:14people will never view trans men as men, no matter how the rest of
- 1:33:16society reads us. Well, you know, I don't know if I think
- 1:33:23that's true. I do you mean, like the selective service? Yeah,
- 1:33:29well, first of all, you're going to benefit. But the other thing
- 1:33:32is is that, well, benefit for being trans, not for being a
- 1:33:38man. But oh I forgot, oh the society, Yeah, I forgot.
- 1:33:45I was gonna say, sorry, dropped that one. Jesse Gender spent
- 1:33:50a portion of her video on trans women and male privilege addressing the viewpoints of
- 1:33:55trans exclusionary radical feminists, or TERFs. They mostly discussed trans women, but
- 1:34:00they do make the occasional off handed comment about how trans men are actually just
- 1:34:02women who want access to male privilege. Oh see, so this is the
- 1:34:09reason why I I'm not involved. I count myself out of that debate between
- 1:34:16the turfs and fifth wave feminists and the intersectionals or fourth wave feminists. And
- 1:34:26because again, like both sides believe that men have privilege, so the premises
- 1:34:31are the same and they just built different machines. M well, this is
- 1:34:36really where the whole intersectionality starts to break down, doesn't it. Yeah,
- 1:34:41Like, as far as I can tell, it's like they have to,
- 1:34:44like for the the non trans exclusionary radical feminists, they're going to have to
- 1:34:48break down intersectionality. Yeah, they're going to have to accept trans women.
- 1:34:59Yeah. Well, and here's the thing, like I've always said in my
- 1:35:03mind, so that you know, people are trying to rank all of the
- 1:35:06layers of intersectionality, and I said, women are at the top no matter
- 1:35:12what. They always are they you know, they don't have to be classified
- 1:35:15in anything other way other than their women because we because our society will protect
- 1:35:20women first and foremost. So trans women will always be like below women on
- 1:35:27the hierarchy, even like even if you try really hard, right, Well,
- 1:35:31they're going to try, that's the thing, and that's what's going to
- 1:35:33end up I think exploding the hierarchy is Yeah, women have to be at
- 1:35:39top, but trans women, by the intersectional logic, are worse off than
- 1:35:47women than SIS women. So it's like they've they've introduced this incredible contradiction.
- 1:35:54Maybe they'll be able to manage it. Maybe the global Homo will will continue
- 1:35:58on trucking along. But I think that this might be the implosion point or
- 1:36:03at least I don't know, but you know, to sort of demonstrate what
- 1:36:10I was talking about. Um, you guys all know that Don Lemon,
- 1:36:15the host anchor at CNN, was fired and there there wasn't really so like
- 1:36:21they didn't even tell him, like, you know, until the day,
- 1:36:26so he didn't even know it was coming. And um, what there are
- 1:36:31some like people were speculating, but what it looks like happened is do you
- 1:36:36remember when I don't know if you saw it, I did. I think
- 1:36:41we we talked about on the news show where they were talking about this.
- 1:36:45I think it was Nicky Haley and Don Lemon made this comment about how nicky
- 1:36:50Hilly is you know, pass her prime, you know, and all that
- 1:36:55that. That's actually what I think got him fired because the women were making
- 1:37:00complaints and you know, it was it was going all over the office and
- 1:37:03then other women came forward and they made allegations that he did stuff that was
- 1:37:08inappropriate or whatever, and they responded to it by firing him. And what
- 1:37:14I what I thought about that was really interesting about that is he is a
- 1:37:17gay black man and his him being gay and him being black, is it
- 1:37:25doesn't give him an edge over women just women of whatever type. Um.
- 1:37:30In fact, I think that, Um, it just shows that you know,
- 1:37:38like women are always at the top of the of the intersectionality is meaningless.
- 1:37:43Yeah, like intersectionality they don't care about the issues facing black men.
- 1:37:47No, um, they don't care about the issues facing any minority men.
- 1:37:53It is literally just the appropriation of victimhood points to women. And when you
- 1:37:58combine that with people's natural instinct to protect and provide for women, that's how
- 1:38:03it always plays out. Like it doesn't matter that Yeah, like you're like
- 1:38:08you said, it doesn't matter he's gay, it doesn't matter he's black.
- 1:38:11He gets sacrificed to protect women. And ironically, all of the issues on
- 1:38:16the intersectional pipeline were because society wanted to protect a certain group of women from
- 1:38:27men. He wanted to protect women from poor men. They wanted to protect
- 1:38:31elite women from minoritymen. They wanted to protect women from gay men. Even
- 1:38:40though presumably gay men are a threat, they are a threat because they don't
- 1:38:43actually marry women. So they are part of the of the social contract.
- 1:38:48So all of these oppressions were actually directed at the men of a group because
- 1:38:57of their perceived threat to the women who were considered to be the important women
- 1:39:02women on talk and uh, and then we go around, because we are
- 1:39:09so obsessed with protecting women, we take all of those harms and reappend them
- 1:39:13to the very women that these men were subjugated to protect. And it's like,
- 1:39:17it's like this never, this is a snake eating its own tail.
- 1:39:21Ye, and it's just this the trans women. I don't know where it
- 1:39:26could possibly go after that. All right, well that's probably where the non
- 1:39:30binary neo pronounce stuff comes in. That's like, you know, it's the
- 1:39:34ultimate like state, it's the peak, it's the peak. What let's let's
- 1:39:44see this trans men um nuances his way out of the accusation. He's after
- 1:39:49a male privilege. Yeah, not only is this frustrating because they completely undermine
- 1:39:54our gender, but also excuse me, did I gain what? They completely
- 1:39:59undermine your g gender? Yeah? You mean your your male gender? Uh?
- 1:40:06Do you mean that they're the radical feminists or undermining your gender by saying
- 1:40:13you're they're not um? Are you your own gender, Like, are you
- 1:40:18a man or you're your own gender? Yeah? Okay, I'm now I'm
- 1:40:24deeply confused by this. Okay, all right, gain male Okay, yeah,
- 1:40:31because he can't he can't actually, he can't actually go against the ideology,
- 1:40:38right, So he asked to say that he absolutely got male privilege because
- 1:40:42he transitioned, Right, Yeah, I don't know what freaking male puts.
- 1:40:47How could you prove you're actually a man now if you don't have some of
- 1:40:50that that sweet sweet male privilege, that invisible knapsack that only she can see.
- 1:41:00Absolutely? But did I transition just because I wanted male privilege? Just
- 1:41:04so ridiculous. Okay, wait wait, wait, wait, so you did
- 1:41:10transition a little bit because you wanted privilege? Mmm? So they are right,
- 1:41:16well there she they're claiming that, um uh that they did get some
- 1:41:26privilege. But yeah, no, no, but she's but he's he's saying,
- 1:41:31uh, did I transition just to get male privilege? Yeah? Absolutely
- 1:41:35not. So the just is the thing, So you did you did transition
- 1:41:41in part to get male privilege? So they're right what you thought was male
- 1:41:45privilege? Oh my, okay, the gender I was assigned at birth?
- 1:41:53Did not align with who I am, and I wanted a body that felt
- 1:41:56like mine. But no matter what I do, ter see me as a
- 1:41:58woman. Meanwhile, no many questions of this man or men? What?
- 1:42:02Oh really you don't think wait, you don't think that there's there's judgment of
- 1:42:08a man's masculinity happening all the time by both men and women, but especially
- 1:42:13women. Yeah, you also will think ahead, Yeah yeah, like a
- 1:42:19real man thing. Yeah yeah, welcome to being a man, dude.
- 1:42:25Women are judging whether or not you have manhood. Yeah, congratulate. This
- 1:42:30is your first real thing that you have said that reflects a male experience.
- 1:42:34Women are judging you not a man. Welcome to being a man. You
- 1:42:45will find that any woman that you encounter, aside from a few, will
- 1:42:51judge you on whether or not you are a man now yep? Okay?
- 1:42:57And also I will point out that that trans exclusion or a radical feminists also
- 1:43:02thinks cis women are women. Okay, this is not a male privilege that
- 1:43:08you're trying to present ridiculous humidity. Oh yeah really And again, like both
- 1:43:15the turfs and the intersectionals hate men, So I don't really see the like
- 1:43:20I see what they're what he's trying to do. He's trying to say that
- 1:43:24the Turfs are giving male privilege to men by identifying them as as men,
- 1:43:29yeah, and not giving to them. So trans men and cists men have
- 1:43:35different relationships with male privilege. There is a lot of overlap. Sometimes I
- 1:43:41forget that I have male privilege. I haven't been afraid to take an app
- 1:43:44on the bus or to walk home alone at night in a year. Really,
- 1:43:47Yeah, well why were you afraid? Feels afraid? That means it
- 1:43:50must be justified somehow. I don't think you've acquired a body that significantly reduces
- 1:43:58your physical threat. Like look, look, look no, in fact,
- 1:44:04your threat level is now higher if you're perceived as a man and you're small.
- 1:44:11Yeah. Like, no, not your threat, like your his threat
- 1:44:14to others, but the potential of others threat to him is higher. M
- 1:44:18hm m hmm. All right, Okay. The further I get into my
- 1:44:30transition, the more I let my guard down, and I wonder about all
- 1:44:32the ways I'm actually really seelish that I don't even realize. Wait a second,
- 1:44:35he lets his guard down. Yeah, then you're you're not experiencing what
- 1:44:41it's like to be men because men, many men talk about how they have
- 1:44:45to keep their guard up and be aware of their surroundings. Oh god,
- 1:44:50kid is going to get the ever living shit kicked out of him in a
- 1:44:55muggy yeah, and he's no, we're gonna say this crap again. You've
- 1:45:03ever been a man in the workforce, and I'll never experience job hunting and
- 1:45:06career building as a woman. As someone who was entering the media industry,
- 1:45:11a field largely dominated by white men, I wonder how much easier orbility to
- 1:45:15get my foot in the door. And the media, Yeah right, the
- 1:45:18media that like wocifies everything. I think. I don't think it's gonna be
- 1:45:25I don't think it's gonna be easier. I think you're in for a huge
- 1:45:28shock. Yeah, if you transition, because you think you're going to get
- 1:45:32further ahead in the media under well, I mean, honestly, he probably
- 1:45:38will because he's a trans man, and he's still going to say he's a
- 1:45:44trans man. That actually improves his odds of getting a job. Yes,
- 1:45:48because they'll want that, you know that toke we don't have that token.
- 1:45:53Let's let's add this to the collection, you know, So all right,
- 1:46:00No, it's rare. Once in a blue moon, I do pass as
- 1:46:02a CIS straight man. And when I do SIS straight, guys tell me
- 1:46:05all kinds of nasty and objectifying things about women. And oh, sure they
- 1:46:10do. I'm pressing X the doubt. No no, no, no,
- 1:46:16that is not happening. Hi jojo nasty and objectifying things about women. Yeah,
- 1:46:23right. As soon as he walks in the room, the men scan
- 1:46:28him to make sure it's not it's not a trap, and then they when
- 1:46:31they determine because he says, I passed as a CIS man. So the
- 1:46:34moment they think, that's totally that's totally assists man, let's go up to
- 1:46:39him and tell him nasty things about women. Oh god, that totally happened,
- 1:46:46guys. And then and then the whole nightclub clapped, okay that I
- 1:46:54should wait wait wait just so he yeah, that's m nasty and objectifying things
- 1:47:00about women. Oh god, no, no, no, no, no,
- 1:47:06no, don't stop stop. So I'm sorry. I I have something
- 1:47:10to say, I have something to say. Okay, I'm sorry. When
- 1:47:14he when he is Michael, good lord, this guy sounds like a cult,
- 1:47:24like a cult member. Yeah, lookjaculated. That kind of like,
- 1:47:30you know, the Church of Jesus Christ of latterday Saints look is but um,
- 1:47:34maybe it's irony. H I don't know. I don't know this.
- 1:47:42This boy looks like he's part of a cult and he's ejaculating bullshit from that
- 1:47:45cult. Okay, okay, straight man. And when I do sis,
- 1:47:53straight guys tell me all kinds of nasty and objectifying things about women. I
- 1:47:56know that I should interrupt and stand up for the women they're de facing,
- 1:47:59but often I say nothing. It's nicely normal for a second, even if
- 1:48:02what's normal is totally messed up. Um. So you so this person's transitions
- 1:48:14and now and then she's telling men what masculinity is and that which is privilege.
- 1:48:19He he don't, don't. Oh, I'm sorry he um, and
- 1:48:26then goes on to tell us what men should be doing, which is protecting
- 1:48:31women or prioritizing women. Will also staying. But here's the thing, this
- 1:48:38is the only time, Okay, So when the only time you feel normal,
- 1:48:42these men tell you ugly objectifying things about women, like that's the only
- 1:48:46time. Yeah, literally, Like men haven't taken you under your wing,
- 1:48:51their wing and gone bowling with you. They haven't invited you out to have
- 1:48:56a beer. No, the only fucking time you're seeing is a sit man.
- 1:49:00They are seen as a man. They tell you objectifying things about women.
- 1:49:06That's it. Do you think that that is the sum toll of what
- 1:49:13men do with each other? And they don't. You don't. You don't
- 1:49:17play like a call of duty or anything. You know, it's just like
- 1:49:25it's like idiocracy. I am, I am pushing X to doubt really hard
- 1:49:31here, big X to doubt. All right, But it doesn't have to
- 1:49:40be this way. It's important for all men trans ansists to fight the norms
- 1:49:44established by the patriarchy. Okay, so very very this is a good point
- 1:49:48too, because um, by patriarchy you mean men, right, Like when
- 1:49:55you say we need we need all men destroying themselves because they are the problem
- 1:50:02to protect women. What a freaking surprise. And you guys are the only
- 1:50:06ones who ever invented the idea of protecting and providing for women. Good lord,
- 1:50:15this is what controls our society. Huh, this is what controls our
- 1:50:19society. This is it, This is the this is the eye of sugar
- 1:50:23off yep, it is don't look away. Are different. We all have
- 1:50:29some degree of access to this loud, powerful, at times dangerous thing called
- 1:50:32privilege. It's imperative that we do our best to acknowledge this beast, rain
- 1:50:36it in, and not use it to fight women, but to fight for
- 1:50:40women. No one. All right, um, this is the one thing
- 1:50:45that he's done that's masculine. See his power and want to protect women's The
- 1:50:53only problem is that somehow he's he's once again dropped into the problem that men
- 1:50:58have. Y'all, many of you think you're the only one who believes this,
- 1:51:02especially if you're a feminist, which incidentally is one of the big things
- 1:51:10with war. When you can convince a population of men that they're the only
- 1:51:15ones who care about women, that is the makings of a genocide. Yeah,
- 1:51:24you say that that group of men over there, they don't care about
- 1:51:27their women. Let's go free, feel free to bomb them the glass.
- 1:51:32Okay, that is that is the one of the biggest, biggest um preconditions
- 1:51:39for war. Right, one chooses the knapsack of privilege that how you unpack
- 1:51:48it is up to you. If they don't choose it, then it's not
- 1:51:58Oh God, good word. So men have this invisible knapsack that they didn't
- 1:52:03choose and yet are utterly responsible for Yep. Day man, all you have
- 1:52:11to do is just take off your invisible knapsack, throw it on the floor
- 1:52:15and be like, I don't have it anymore. Okay, I choose not
- 1:52:20to. And now can we talk about my issues as a man? Yeah?
- 1:52:26No, no, no, no, that that's that's defying gender too
- 1:52:31much. God damn it is. This is a creature trying to make his
- 1:52:36identity fit with a fucked up ideology that makes no sense. This is this
- 1:52:44is like ideology trying to reform the relationship between men and women, except it's
- 1:52:47like coming out like the creature and the fly, you know, yeah,
- 1:52:54yeah, concerning the brendle fly right, the brend fly. Yeah, okay,
- 1:53:02I do have a thank you? Oh good good yeah. Um,
- 1:53:08so thank you to missus Anna of Arc who not only gave us a super
- 1:53:14child but also gave us m a some some support on the fundraiser, it's
- 1:53:19twenty five dollars. So thank you, missus Anna of Ark, Thank you,
- 1:53:21thank you very much. That's really nice. Thank you. Um.
- 1:53:27If you would like to help support us once again, that's Pete the Badger
- 1:53:29dot com slash support it's very much appreciated to make sure that we can continue
- 1:53:33to talk about these things, because I'm pretty sure at this point we may
- 1:53:36be the only ones who are analyzing the trends stuff in this manner like recognizing
- 1:53:44that they are like this is just another expression of the same gender. Shit.
- 1:53:48Yeah, literally, the one thing that he did and all he was
- 1:53:53scrabbling to get rid of this perception of power. Then he embraces it at
- 1:53:57the end and says, man, man, man, I know you've never
- 1:54:00done this before, and you've never considered it. We are powerful beings,
- 1:54:05super powerful, ultimately powerful like we are. We are, we're the super
- 1:54:12sands, you know. And the women and they're just like bugs compared to
- 1:54:15us, they're they're tiny and insignificant. But we should use our magnificent,
- 1:54:18gigantic, phallic like power to protect the women. I know we've never thought
- 1:54:25about this, We've never thought this idea until I said it as a trans
- 1:54:30man. Well, I think we should do it, Jesus Christ. But
- 1:54:38what's a woman? Yeah, but what is a woman? Well, I
- 1:54:43don't know what a woman is, but I know I got to protect it.
- 1:54:47God damn, Wow, I'm tired today. It's cracking me up man
- 1:55:00choking on the smoke. Yeah right, so that's basically the end of the
- 1:55:08video. Um, it's ultimately it is you know, trans men don't have
- 1:55:15as much privilege as sis men and therefore treat us basically like women, but
- 1:55:20we might be called men. And and also if we did, we should
- 1:55:26protect women with it. Yeah and again yeah, we we need to.
- 1:55:31Uh, it's it's you know, it always boils down to the same thing.
- 1:55:35You know, let's get together, let's chat it down, a patriarchy,
- 1:55:39let's be nice to each other, and then we'll have a perfect existence.
- 1:55:43So and you're haven't gotten on board. Yeah, yeah, you know,
- 1:55:51it's almost like protecting women is a deep and profound instinct that they're exploiting.
- 1:55:57Yeah, almost almost. Um. The starch God gives us two ninety
- 1:56:06nine Australian and says, what do you think of patriarchy? Hurts men too?
- 1:56:12I've never seen the star? Are you new here, starch guard?
- 1:56:15Starch God? Sorry? Um, so yeah, that's what we're basically talking
- 1:56:20about. Essentially, men hurt men too. So you know you're hurting because
- 1:56:26of men and they're they're they're the patriarchy, which is a you know,
- 1:56:31apparently Illuminati style cabal of dudes that like pay women a little less per hour.
- 1:56:41So, um, you have to clarify what you what you mean by
- 1:56:45patriarchy hurts men too. Yes, we've heard it. We have heard it
- 1:56:48for I have heard it for twenty god damn hears twenty three, God damn
- 1:56:55ears. Yes, yeah, yes, I have heard of that, sir.
- 1:56:58What would you like me to to address with that? Um? I
- 1:57:01think it's a way of blaming men again for the harms that they face.
- 1:57:06It's it's a way of re establishing gender roles. Men exist to serve and
- 1:57:12protide and protect for women and do not have vulnerabilities. Simple as that,
- 1:57:16that's all it is. It reframes it in terms of men's agency so that
- 1:57:21they can be ignored. Yep, all right, Uh that is it.
- 1:57:29I read all the superstricts and we finished the video, so I guess we
- 1:57:31can end here. Do you have any more? Thank yous? At I
- 1:57:34can double check, but I don't think so. Um. Uh, yes,
- 1:57:42we just got one. Oh look at that five dollars from mc G
