Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: All right, we are live. Hello everybody, and welcome back
- 0:03Speaker 1: to Honey Badger Radio. My name is Brian.
- 0:05Speaker 2: I'm here with Alison and our special guest, Heal Deer,
- 0:09Speaker 2: and we are going to be delving back into Greek
- 0:14Speaker 2: mythology and discussing I guess the yes, Medea Medea Yeah, feminist.
- 0:24Speaker 1: I think it's media.
- 0:26Speaker 2: Medeia is the is the character from all those Tyler
- 0:30Speaker 2: Perry movies.
- 0:31Speaker 1: Medea is I believe Greek myth Yeah.
- 0:35Speaker 3: All right, but the point is that she is a
- 0:37Speaker 3: feminist icon of empowerment, feminist.
- 0:43Speaker 1: Allison, you're talking, but I can't hear you.
- 0:46Speaker 3: Oh goodness, can you hear? Oh?
- 0:50Speaker 2: I can hear, Alice, Yes, it's it's they're ceiling wrong
- 0:56Speaker 2: with my it's my headphone.
- 0:58Speaker 1: Hold on.
- 0:59Speaker 3: Okay, well, anyway, if Deo, Derek and HERI probably people
- 1:02Speaker 3: in the in the audience can as well what I
- 1:04Speaker 3: was gonna say.
- 1:05Speaker 2: No, it's it's it's my, it's my, it's my headphones.
- 1:08Speaker 2: I gotta I gotta plug in the speakers, got to
- 1:10Speaker 2: lower the phone.
- 1:11Speaker 3: Okay, okay, So Medea is the the new feminist empowerment icon.
- 1:19Speaker 3: Why instead of less strata? And why because well, let's
- 1:24Speaker 3: strata just ended a war. That's not good enough. Media
- 1:28Speaker 3: basically started one. No, she killed a whole bunch of men.
- 1:31Speaker 3: She killed her brother too too benefit Jason uh of
- 1:38Speaker 3: the Argonauts, and then she killed her sons when Jason
- 1:41Speaker 3: pissed her off. So that's that's that's feminism. That's that's
- 1:44Speaker 3: what they want to champion as their icon, a woman
- 1:50Speaker 3: with a body count because you know quality.
- 1:55Speaker 1: Yeah.

- 3:01Speaker 3: you want me to address.
- 3:02Speaker 1: Brian, No, I did get a super chow before. Like, look,
- 3:08Speaker 1: in the middle of the night, we got a super chow.
- 3:10Speaker 1: I'll read it out really quick or should we wait?
- 3:13Speaker 2: Okay, well, it's not super relevant, but if I don't
- 3:16Speaker 2: read it at some point during the show, it's just
- 3:19Speaker 2: going to get buried under a bunch of other ones.
- 3:21Speaker 1: So I feel like we should read it. Oh good grief,
- 3:26Speaker 1: it's we don't have to react to it. I'm just
- 3:28Speaker 1: gonna read it.
- 3:29Speaker 3: You know that react to it?
- 3:31Speaker 5: I know?
- 3:32Speaker 1: All right.
- 3:33Speaker 2: So I got a super chow from shout out to
- 3:36Speaker 2: Brian for the call in shows, who gives us twenty
- 3:39Speaker 2: dollars and says I cannot tune into the call in
- 3:42Speaker 2: shows live because I watched them afterwards. I am sympathetic
- 3:45Speaker 2: to you guys that Natty ended up monopolizing the X
- 3:48Speaker 2: space from a month ago. Thank you for the superchow.
- 3:51Speaker 2: Appreciate it well.
- 3:52Speaker 3: I've heard that. So for those of you who are
- 3:55Speaker 3: just tuning in, you don't know who Natty is. She's well.
- 3:58Speaker 3: She bills herself as an x MRI turned feminist orthodox
- 4:02Speaker 3: Christian yeah something, and she she periodically shows up. I mean,
- 4:11Speaker 3: we did you. I think we had a couple of
- 4:12Speaker 3: shows with her way back when, like ten years ago.
- 4:14Speaker 1: She used to be a regular, yeah, or Elizabeth.
- 4:19Speaker 3: I didn't talk to her that much a lot, Okay,
- 4:24Speaker 3: all right, fair enough, So she used to be a
- 4:26Speaker 3: regular and then she decided that she I don't know,
- 4:30Speaker 3: reconciled with her mom, and her hatred towards her mom
- 4:33Speaker 3: was why she was supporting men's issues or something. It's
- 4:35Speaker 3: sometimes difficult to understand her story, but yeah, she comes
- 4:39Speaker 3: on X spaces and she monopolizes them, and she insists
- 4:43Speaker 3: that everybody can form to her cosmology, which is centered
- 4:48Speaker 3: on your opinion of Peter Wright's gynocentrism theory and that
- 4:53Speaker 3: and everything has to be hammered into that hole. Although
- 4:56Speaker 3: I have heard, I don't know if she's held to this,
- 4:59Speaker 3: that she is taking a break from social media, to
- 5:01Speaker 3: which I could only say, probably a good idea.
- 5:05Speaker 1: Yeah, she had quit X for a while, but I'm
- 5:08Speaker 1: sure she'll be back.
- 5:09Speaker 3: But yeah, I'm sure I should do that.
- 5:12Speaker 2: Yeah, It's like I said, I just you know, they
- 5:14Speaker 2: send a super chow. We're supposed to read them, so
- 5:17Speaker 2: I read it. I was not actually troubled by any
- 5:21Speaker 2: of that.
- 5:21Speaker 1: It is what it is.
- 5:24Speaker 3: Oh and actually say hatred of her mother, that's just
- 5:26Speaker 3: like a quick gloss, just conflict with her mother perhaps.
- 5:31Speaker 3: So anyway, that's that story let's get into all right, So.
- 5:35Speaker 1: Now we're gonna be.
- 5:37Speaker 2: Video yb Lyssa Strata when you could be Medea, and
- 5:43Speaker 2: she is now going to I think where we left
- 5:45Speaker 2: off was where she was going to make the case
- 5:48Speaker 2: for Medea, or we were talking about possibly jumping ahead
- 5:51Speaker 2: to the the bit where she it's a it's a
- 5:56Speaker 2: chapter called Oops, a miss Injury where she's.
- 6:00Speaker 3: You know, let's go, let's go, let's go for media,
- 6:02Speaker 3: Let's see what she.
- 6:03Speaker 1: Has to let's see what she has save for.
- 6:06Speaker 3: Another for later.
- 6:08Speaker 1: Yeah, Okaydia.
- 6:11Speaker 6: So this whole conversation inside Aristophane's plays about Euripides being
- 6:16Speaker 6: a known huge misogynist was very interesting to me because
- 6:21Speaker 6: I a kid who read a lot of like classics,
- 6:25Speaker 6: loved Euripides because he wrote one of my favorite female characters.
- 6:30Speaker 6: Of course, Medea. You know, she's not a hero, but
- 6:34Speaker 6: she is. She is awesome, and it's so okay.
- 6:37Speaker 3: Can I just here for a second. There's a bit
- 6:40Speaker 3: of an echo, Brian, So what's going on?
- 6:43Speaker 2: The lower my volume or turn off my microphone when
- 6:47Speaker 2: I'm playing it because my headset doesn't work. That's why
- 6:50Speaker 2: I couldn't hear you. So I gotta replace it. Yeah,
- 6:54Speaker 2: I'll just just mute.
- 6:56Speaker 1: But could I just say though before we continue?
- 6:59Speaker 2: So this playwright that she's referring to, that is Aristophanes
- 7:07Speaker 2: is a known, raging, huge misogynist, according to who did
- 7:15Speaker 2: like did did? Did ancient Greeks even have a word
- 7:19Speaker 2: for that? Like did they call where they're people calling
- 7:22Speaker 2: each other misogynists in ancient Greece? I don't think there was.
- 7:28Speaker 2: I think that's about but maybe I'm wrong.
- 7:30Speaker 1: I don't know. I'm not a historian. Maybe there is
- 7:32Speaker 1: like an early, you know, case.
- 7:35Speaker 2: Of misogyny that's like some old, you know, Greek graffiti
- 7:40Speaker 2: on like the side of the temple of in you know,
- 7:44Speaker 2: an Athens or something. But just funny that they just
- 7:47Speaker 2: go with, well, this guy was supposedly this way and
- 7:51Speaker 2: and we're just supposed to like take that at face value.
- 7:53Speaker 2: But okay, anyway, let's play some more.
- 7:57Speaker 6: Do you like a strong female character in you know,
- 8:01Speaker 6: Greek and Roman literature, that's not a god? And I
- 8:06Speaker 6: love Medea, so I also reread Media and I still
- 8:12Speaker 6: loved it. Media was originally part of a trilogy and
- 8:17Speaker 6: it was performed altogether, but we only have the one.
- 8:20Speaker 6: We only have Media. It was performed in four point
- 8:23Speaker 6: thirty one BC, so before Aristophanes and before the Peloponnesian War,
- 8:28Speaker 6: And apparently this play didn't do as well with the audience.
- 8:34Speaker 6: Like these these plays were always given in like contest
- 8:37Speaker 6: to select the best drama or whatever, and Euripides didn't
- 8:41Speaker 6: do very well. And they think it might be because
- 8:44Speaker 6: he took some liberties with the myth of Media. So
- 8:47Speaker 6: Media is not a historical character, She's a mythical character.
- 8:50Speaker 6: And they think he might have changed the ending in
- 8:53Speaker 6: a way that made the audience mad. But I'm just
- 8:57Speaker 6: gonna talk about the text of the play.
- 8:59Speaker 1: Not just pausing there for the banana, because that was
- 9:03Speaker 1: kind of a lot.
- 9:04Speaker 3: So okay, okay, So that the reading on Astrophanes was
- 9:13Speaker 3: it's it's modern. I don't think they did consider him
- 9:17Speaker 3: a massage. I don't. They didn't have the word back then.
- 9:20Speaker 3: And the reason why he's considered is because he turned
- 9:25Speaker 3: the idea of women running things into a joke.
- 9:31Speaker 1: So he was based.
- 9:33Speaker 2: So what you're saying is Aristophanes was based and we
- 9:36Speaker 2: should listen to the wisdom of the elders.
- 9:43Speaker 5: Okay, So the feminist objective objection is treating women's political
- 9:49Speaker 5: agency is comic as a comic premise codes is asherently ridiculous,
- 9:54Speaker 5: which is misogyny made foundational to the genre.
- 9:57Speaker 3: I don't know as a woman, and I can sort
- 10:01Speaker 3: of see where he's coming from as as women join
- 10:06Speaker 3: a political party. That's essentially, Uh, it's in the back,
- 10:11Speaker 3: you know, like where does the food come from the grocery.
- 10:15Speaker 3: It's it's in the back, like Jesus, you know. It's
- 10:19Speaker 3: like it's sort of I'm sympathetic. Let's say I'm I'm
- 10:22Speaker 3: I'm misogynist, ad.
- 10:24Speaker 1: Jason endless abundance.
- 10:27Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, we'll just say that we are we're rich,
- 10:30Speaker 3: and that we have food, and thus it will be
- 10:33Speaker 3: because all we need to do is signal we All
- 10:36Speaker 3: we need to do, Bride, all we need to do
- 10:37Speaker 3: is signal our abundance and then there it is.
- 10:41Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I.
- 10:44Speaker 3: Just need to do the right smoke signs, build the
- 10:48Speaker 3: right right up bamboo cargo plane on the beach, and
- 10:51Speaker 3: then we'll just have an air dropped supplies. Oh man, okay,
- 10:56Speaker 3: he says, uh so, I'm a little sympathetic to the
- 10:59Speaker 3: Aristo France Aristophane's premises. It's Aristophane, yes, you see, thank you.
- 11:06Speaker 3: I can't even talk without them.
- 11:07Speaker 1: Man, well it's Greek.
- 11:08Speaker 2: If if it's if it's ancient Greek, there's like you
- 11:11Speaker 2: can tell how you probably should pronounce it, and it
- 11:13Speaker 2: doesn't seem intuitive.
- 11:15Speaker 3: But yes, consider how much trouble I have with English.
- 11:19Speaker 3: Now you're asking me to deal with ancient Greek. That's
- 11:23Speaker 3: not gonna happen for me. Yeah, I've probably even forgotten
- 11:27Speaker 3: it asked Astophanes, right, no, Aristophanes, Aristophanes getting closer.
- 11:33Speaker 1: The Aristotle and then just change the.
- 11:36Speaker 3: Ending Aristophanes yesh phonyx okay so, and then the all
- 11:43Speaker 3: the female roles are played by male actors and masks.
- 11:46Speaker 3: So the proto feminist content gets read as men performing
- 11:49Speaker 3: female grievance for male entertainment. You know, it's funny because
- 11:53Speaker 3: this is feminist talking about probably what was a ancient
- 11:57Speaker 3: Greece Benny Hill sketch? And they they're they're struggling with
- 12:01Speaker 3: the fact that it's intended to be humorous. And the
- 12:05Speaker 3: women in the plays mock themselves. Oh geez, that's truly
- 12:09Speaker 3: anti feminist. The woman who mocks herself Kellene's what can
- 12:17Speaker 3: we mirror women do that's intelligent or noble? We sit
- 12:20Speaker 3: around the house looking pretty, wearing saffron dresses and makeup.
- 12:24Speaker 3: Isn't that just mocking that attitude, which I presume would
- 12:27Speaker 3: be mostly an elite women's attitude since every other woman
- 12:30Speaker 3: of every other class was probably working. The women voicing
- 12:33Speaker 3: their own incapacity and also their own like not my problem,
- 12:38Speaker 3: if you think about it, like that's basically what she's saying.
- 12:41Speaker 3: It's not my problem. War is not my problem. The
- 12:45Speaker 3: reluctance to give up sex, the inability to stick to
- 12:48Speaker 3: the strike, the gossip about wine and lovers, Myrene, Myrene
- 12:54Speaker 3: offering to cut herself in half for the cause and
- 12:56Speaker 3: then immediately abandoning the strike when her husband shows up.
- 12:59Speaker 3: The plays women are sex obsessed, will, weak willed, easily distracted,
- 13:03Speaker 3: and have to be bullied by lysistrata into staying on
- 13:05Speaker 3: task the feminist objection. Even when the women are the protagonists,
- 13:09Speaker 3: they're presented as comically incapable of the political seriousness the
- 13:13Speaker 3: plot requires the plot. The plot of Strata requires comics,
- 13:19Speaker 3: or sorry, requires political seriousness. Guys, Like in the previous one,
- 13:26Speaker 3: I think I presented the idea that it was again
- 13:29Speaker 3: a Benny Hill sketch, an ancient Greece Benny Hill sketch.
- 13:33Speaker 3: So can you imagine a two set, two millennia from now,
- 13:37Speaker 3: feminists of like the the four thousands looking at a
- 13:41Speaker 3: Benny Hill sketch and saying, these women are not politically serious.
- 13:46Speaker 3: They're they're running around with their breasts out, chasing a
- 13:50Speaker 3: man over a cliff. That is not political seriousness. It's like, yeah,
- 13:54Speaker 3: because it's a joke. This was this play was meant
- 13:57Speaker 3: to be laughed at. Of course, the characters in it
- 14:00Speaker 3: are politically serious. Okay, let's get back to media.
- 14:04Speaker 1: All right, let's play some more of the video other
- 14:07Speaker 1: versions of the myth.
- 14:08Speaker 6: But first, of course, I have to fill you in
- 14:10Speaker 6: on the background of Medea, just in case you're not familiar.
- 14:13Speaker 6: I don't know, did you have friends when you were
- 14:15Speaker 6: twelve years old or something you weren't You weren't reading
- 14:17Speaker 6: the Argonautica. So Medea is a princess, but she's also
- 14:22Speaker 6: related to the gods. She's the granddaughter of Helios, the
- 14:26Speaker 6: sun god, the god representing the sun.
- 14:29Speaker 2: Well on in a second, didn't she says? She was
- 14:30Speaker 2: like not a god, but she's like related to the gods.
- 14:33Speaker 1: I mean that's that sounds like she's got a little
- 14:38Speaker 1: bit of cloud.
- 14:39Speaker 3: I mean, yeah she does. But also I want to
- 14:43Speaker 3: point out the relational move thing she did just there.
- 14:46Speaker 3: But she couldn't help despite the fact that she wants
- 14:49Speaker 3: to appeal to some kind of universal sisterhood. She just
- 14:52Speaker 3: flexed on popular girls. Did you notice that reverse flex.
- 14:59Speaker 3: It's like a it's a humble bragging. Oh yeah, they
- 15:03Speaker 3: are Argonautica at twelve humble brag flex unlike those popular,
- 15:10Speaker 3: vapid popular girls who were having friends.
- 15:13Speaker 1: You know.
- 15:14Speaker 3: Like she can't help herself. She appeals again, appeals to
- 15:19Speaker 3: the universal sisterhood, must flex on the group of women
- 15:23Speaker 3: she feels threats threatened by. H Okay, just like, all right, I.
- 15:28Speaker 2: Got a I got a super chat Albatross gave us
- 15:32Speaker 2: two dollars earlier and said didn't know tell her Perry
- 15:35Speaker 2: lived back in ancient Rome. I know he meant say Greece,
- 15:39Speaker 2: but I'm just reading what was put in front in
- 15:42Speaker 2: front of me. Okay, we got in the vertical chat.
- 15:46Speaker 2: We got some Angela Collier fans. Angela Collier is the
- 15:49Speaker 2: lady who we're responding to. They're not happy about this.
- 15:53Speaker 2: I didn't know that she was so big on YouTube.
- 15:56Speaker 2: We haven't even really like gotten that angry with her.
- 15:59Speaker 1: We're just sort of like.
- 16:00Speaker 3: Oh, you're not gonna be happy with me. Yeah, ladies,
- 16:03Speaker 3: you're gonna be quite upset with me. All right, So
- 16:07Speaker 3: let's uh a deeal there. You've been quiet? You haven't a?
- 16:11Speaker 3: Is it quite hot there in England?
- 16:14Speaker 7: No, I'm just seeing if I can beat my best
- 16:18Speaker 7: score of about fifteen minutes of not saying anything on
- 16:22Speaker 7: these streams you've just prompted me to. Actually I still
- 16:26Speaker 7: made it. It's about sixteen minutes. I think I've bested
- 16:28Speaker 7: my record of being uninvolved. It's wonderful. I like the
- 16:33Speaker 7: kudos of showing up and doing things without having to
- 16:36Speaker 7: do things. It's really good for my ego.
- 16:39Speaker 3: Yeah, well it's fine. Like I said, me and Brian
- 16:42Speaker 3: can fill all the available space. Well, actually I probably
- 16:45Speaker 3: should say me. I can fill all the available space. Heck,
- 16:51Speaker 3: my comic mispronunciations can fill all the available space until
- 16:55Speaker 3: Brian corrects me. So all right, let's let's watch a
- 16:58Speaker 3: little bit more. Let's please her fans.
- 17:00Speaker 7: Well, I was going to do some well questioning poking.
- 17:06Speaker 7: I suppose make of it what you will. Why do
- 17:10Speaker 7: feminist women just have to try and reclaim some of
- 17:16Speaker 7: the worst people imaginable in history? I mean, I did
- 17:22Speaker 7: point out I think it was the last time that
- 17:25Speaker 7: if you look historically speaking about how women are more
- 17:30Speaker 7: likely to start wars, they're more likely to shame men
- 17:33Speaker 7: for not going to war, they're more likely to do
- 17:37Speaker 7: all these sorts of things, and that if you basically
- 17:40Speaker 7: flopped that on its head, you would get a play
- 17:44Speaker 7: like this, which you seem to have found. That's actually
- 17:47Speaker 7: the case that this is or was something to not
- 17:50Speaker 7: be taken very seriously, which is kind of nice. Why
- 17:54Speaker 7: do they still want to try and claim like one
- 17:58Speaker 7: of the worst people imagine, like, Okay, yeah, you weren't
- 18:02Speaker 7: happy with your husband, did you really need to kill
- 18:04Speaker 7: his concubine that he got for political reasons? And his
- 18:09Speaker 7: children which were your children? Was really necessary?
- 18:13Speaker 3: Well, my Dea does far worse.
- 18:16Speaker 7: But that's just for this particular story. This is the
- 18:19Speaker 7: bit that she does there. I know she was gles
- 18:21Speaker 7: who was it her brother or something? Yeah, so she.
- 18:25Speaker 3: Can claim Jason for herself. And then also she kills
- 18:31Speaker 3: a king's daughter. I'll have to get the name, just
- 18:35Speaker 3: because she wants to get the the throne for Jason.
- 18:44Speaker 7: Yes, so yeah, she does kind of go has a
- 18:48Speaker 7: few woman moments in the same vein as Lady Macbeth
- 18:52Speaker 7: has a few woman moments. What is the obsession with
- 18:56Speaker 7: feminist and claiming these people? I mean, even if we
- 18:58Speaker 7: just stick with mythology as they've attempted to claim Meducer,
- 19:03Speaker 7: you know, the the morphal Gorgan sister that she is. Oh,
- 19:07Speaker 7: she's actually a feminist icon because she stands as a
- 19:11Speaker 7: representation of female power against the patriarchy. I'm going to
- 19:18Speaker 7: perhaps tickle some hidden unlock some memories for some people.
- 19:24Speaker 7: You remember a few years ago, there was that statue
- 19:27Speaker 7: that was put up where they flipped the characters on
- 19:31Speaker 7: that famous other one. So it was Meduca holding the
- 19:33Speaker 7: head of Perseus as opposed to Perseus holding the head
- 19:36Speaker 7: of Meduca. They did that.
- 19:38Speaker 1: They celebrate I remember the inversion of that.
- 19:40Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, they celebrated. They said, oh yeah, you go girl,
- 19:45Speaker 7: this this is you know, this is a wonderful thing,
- 19:48Speaker 7: the underground serpent of the chaos that is necessary there
- 19:54Speaker 7: for our hero the Sun as he travels across the
- 19:57Speaker 7: sky and then again under the ground into the darkness
- 20:00Speaker 7: that he must conquer. Uh what what if the darkness won? Well,
- 20:04Speaker 7: what if wouldn't that be cool? Yeah, that's totally feminist.
- 20:08Speaker 7: I mean other ones I can never remember how you
- 20:12Speaker 7: pronounce the names like Clitum nestra, clitem nostra, citan nestra
- 20:17Speaker 7: whatever it is, Agamemnon's wife as in Battle of Troy, Agamemnon,
- 20:23Speaker 7: you know guy who has a little bit of a
- 20:25Speaker 7: disagreement with Achilles and then there's a big hollow horse. Yeah,
- 20:29Speaker 7: that guy. But he does sort of a similar thing
- 20:32Speaker 7: for sort of a similar thing as Jason went off,
- 20:38Speaker 7: had this war thing, basically needed another concubine for political reasons,
- 20:45Speaker 7: to help settle a few things. I think there was
- 20:47Speaker 7: also a bit of just I want that because he could.
- 20:51Speaker 7: His family was a little bit not the good guys generally,
- 20:55Speaker 7: but then again, when it comes to Greek and Roman mythology,
- 20:58Speaker 7: there are very few actually just straight up good guys.
- 21:03Speaker 7: And she also just ended up murdering him as well
- 21:08Speaker 7: when she found out about this. And I think there's
- 21:12Speaker 7: a couple of different versions where it's either her doing
- 21:14Speaker 7: it and then a slightly more ironic one where she
- 21:17Speaker 7: convinces her lover to murder his concubine that he had
- 21:22Speaker 7: to get for political reasons because she just had a
- 21:24Speaker 7: bit of a woman moment about it. Why do feminists
- 21:26Speaker 7: always need to claim these women?
- 21:32Speaker 3: I don't know.
- 21:34Speaker 1: It's got something to do with the relational web.
- 21:36Speaker 3: Right, Yeah. I honestly, I don't even see why it's
- 21:40Speaker 3: a benefit. It's not beneficial. And I don't really want
- 21:45Speaker 3: to be around any woman who starts claiming evil or
- 21:48Speaker 3: bad behavior as something that we need to protect, because
- 21:52Speaker 3: the thing is that these women, they don't just direct
- 21:56Speaker 3: this behavior towards men. They directed towards other women. So
- 22:00Speaker 3: when a woman starts beaking off about let's reclaim Medea
- 22:04Speaker 3: or Kleistrata, I think is what you said, I don't
- 22:07Speaker 3: know or Medusa? I'm like, yeah, miss, maybe with that,
- 22:12Speaker 3: because I know what's going to happen. She's going to
- 22:15Speaker 3: use that, She's going to use that as a way
- 22:17Speaker 3: to excuse her own bad behavior towards other people. And
- 22:22Speaker 3: that's what this is. They, the women who do this,
- 22:25Speaker 3: do not want to be held to a standard of
- 22:27Speaker 3: behavior in which they have to account for the benefit
- 22:32Speaker 3: to other people, for the the other the well being
- 22:36Speaker 3: of other people, right, And it's for me, it's a
- 22:39Speaker 3: huge red flag. Why would you want to be around
- 22:42Speaker 3: anybody who does that, who has categorically excluded the possibility
- 22:47Speaker 3: that she should be held to a standard of behavior
- 22:52Speaker 3: related to the well being of others, Because that's what
- 22:55Speaker 3: we're talking about here with these women. It's excluding the
- 22:59Speaker 3: notion that you you should be held to a moral standard.
- 23:02Speaker 3: It's denying the notion you should be held to any
- 23:04Speaker 3: kind of moral standard. And in fact, I mean and again, yeah,
- 23:08Speaker 3: it is relational web kind of stuff thinking, because it's
- 23:12Speaker 3: all about your status is a result of your signaling
- 23:16Speaker 3: within the relational web rather than your actions. And of course,
- 23:20Speaker 3: in order to be judged by your actions, to take
- 23:23Speaker 3: an identity from your actions, you have to have an
- 23:25Speaker 3: external standard for those actions, and that includes moral external standards.
- 23:30Speaker 3: So it's a relational web that can't really metabolize the
- 23:33Speaker 3: idea of taking an identity from your actions, much less
- 23:37Speaker 3: a moral identity from your actions, because that whole idea
- 23:41Speaker 3: that your actions define them is not something that they
- 23:45Speaker 3: really comprehend. That's why a lot of stuff is invisible
- 23:50Speaker 3: to them. That's why they think that groceries are from
- 23:54Speaker 3: the back the back of the grocery store, because that
- 23:58Speaker 3: it's difficult for them to follow the causal chain of
- 24:01Speaker 3: actions to where the groceries actually originate from. So it's
- 24:05Speaker 3: like this competition between taking identity with relational web signaling,
- 24:11Speaker 3: which is a way of thinking categorically. So I am
- 24:14Speaker 3: a woman, Therefore this is a relational web signal, and
- 24:21Speaker 3: it should have a particular set of properties, and those
- 24:24Speaker 3: properties should not relate to how my actions are seen
- 24:27Speaker 3: in a greater context. They want to control how women
- 24:32Speaker 3: are seen because that gives them benefits. If women are
- 24:37Speaker 3: seen are I don't want to say ranked, but evaluated
- 24:42Speaker 3: by the content of their character in other words, the
- 24:45Speaker 3: actions that they take, then they lose control over how
- 24:49Speaker 3: the category woman is seen, and they lose control over
- 24:52Speaker 3: those benefits. And I guess the simple way of saying
- 24:57Speaker 3: is they're just assholes. They want an asshole free licensed
- 25:00Speaker 3: asshole anyway, let's uh, shall we continue?
- 25:06Speaker 2: Okay, Yeah, I got a couple of super chats and
- 25:08Speaker 2: then we'll continue. So Albertnata retro gives us five dollars
- 25:12Speaker 2: Canadian and says, you had me at justify killing kids
- 25:16Speaker 2: in a play. Wtf is that about? Psycho nos no limits?
- 25:22Speaker 6: Uh.
- 25:22Speaker 2: Then he gives another five dollars Canadian thank you and says,
- 25:26Speaker 2: let's be glad they do claim these women as heroes.
- 25:28Speaker 1: Tel dr that way we know they're the villains.
- 25:32Speaker 2: They worship Amy Dunn from Gone Girl for crying out loud.
- 25:36Speaker 1: All right, thank you for that.
- 25:37Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, it's a good uh, it's a good thing
- 25:40Speaker 3: like uh that that when they do this, they're signaling
- 25:45Speaker 3: who they are, and of course I encourage them to
- 25:48Speaker 3: pay attention to those signals.
- 25:52Speaker 2: I think it's something that something about like like it being.
- 25:57Speaker 2: It's like they they oh fetishize the act of being
- 26:02Speaker 2: what they term to be disobedient, So they do things
- 26:07Speaker 2: or they say things, or they neglect to do things.
- 26:13Speaker 2: You know, maybe they stop bathing, or they let their
- 26:15Speaker 2: hair and their armpits grow out or whatever. But all
- 26:18Speaker 2: of it is like a statement that they're going to
- 26:20Speaker 2: be disobedient, that they that they misbehave, and there's something
- 26:24Speaker 2: about that and maybe it's, you know, something from their
- 26:28Speaker 2: childhood or whatever.
- 26:29Speaker 1: But they're so they're doing this, but they're but they are.
- 26:33Speaker 2: It's not that they're like going against all rules in
- 26:39Speaker 2: all sense of belonging in order or community. They're going
- 26:43Speaker 2: they're they're signaling towards other women who are doing the
- 26:47Speaker 2: same thing. So they are sort of like, you know,
- 26:50Speaker 2: falling in line in a way. They're just doing it
- 26:52Speaker 2: against the norms, you know, because the norms are bad
- 26:55Speaker 2: because they're norms for some reason.
- 26:57Speaker 3: Yeah, well they're not even norms. Then at this point
- 26:59Speaker 3: they're just I don't know, it's become so deconstructed that
- 27:03Speaker 3: those are the norms. Okay, but I want to point
- 27:07Speaker 3: something out. Is it really about disobeying? Because I can
- 27:11Speaker 3: give you a couple examples of women who disobeyed. Let's
- 27:14Speaker 3: start with Madam Currie. And this is something that feminists
- 27:18Speaker 3: never talk about because I guess it has absolutely no
- 27:21Speaker 3: interest to them. She invented or developed or built a
- 27:26Speaker 3: mobile X ray. I believe it was on a truck
- 27:30Speaker 3: and she defied the policy or the prohibition of women
- 27:36Speaker 3: on the front, to go to the front and take
- 27:40Speaker 3: X rays of soldiers so that surgeons could find the
- 27:43Speaker 3: shrapnel and remove it. And she did that because nobody
- 27:48Speaker 3: could work her machine like she could, So if she
- 27:52Speaker 3: didn't go to the front, more men would die. And
- 27:56Speaker 3: that was why she did it, to save men's lives.
- 27:59Speaker 3: And again, she was disobedient. The standing policy was that
- 28:04Speaker 3: women were not allowed at the front, or not allowed
- 28:07Speaker 3: close to the front, so they would probably have like
- 28:10Speaker 3: a clearing medical center that would be staffed by mostly
- 28:14Speaker 3: men that was closer to the front, and she would
- 28:16Speaker 3: go there and she would use her machine to save
- 28:19Speaker 3: men's lives. Feminists don't talk about that kind of disobedience.
- 28:23Speaker 3: I wonder why. And again, and she was one percent disobedient.
- 28:30Speaker 3: She would do these runs where she was brought. People
- 28:35Speaker 3: were trying to stop her, and she did it anyway.
- 28:38Speaker 3: And the reason why they didn't want women at the
- 28:40Speaker 3: front was obvious. They didn't want women to die. It
- 28:44Speaker 3: wasn't this kind of patriarchal oppression. It was literally, we
- 28:49Speaker 3: don't want women in a place where it basically hell
- 28:52Speaker 3: is cracked open and is seeping through the seams, that's it.
- 28:56Speaker 3: But she still went because she was driven to save
- 29:00Speaker 3: these men's lives. That's disobedience when feminists never talk about it.
- 29:06Speaker 3: Another example of a disobedient woman Lucretia. If you don't
- 29:13Speaker 3: know who Lucretia is, I might be mispronouncing the name,
- 29:16Speaker 3: because again not really good with Greek and Latin names.
- 29:20Speaker 3: Lucretia was a woman from in ancient Greece, so a
- 29:25Speaker 3: not great ancient Rome, during the time when they still
- 29:30Speaker 3: had kings, and she was raped by the king's nephew okay,
- 29:37Speaker 3: and her male relatives came to her and said, we
- 29:43Speaker 3: will avenge you, right, will avenge this, this harm to
- 29:48Speaker 3: your honor. We'll go to war against the king's family.
- 29:53Speaker 3: And she said, no, I don't want women of this
- 30:00Speaker 3: the society to think they can live with this dishonor.
- 30:03Speaker 3: And then she killed herself and she forced a revolution.
- 30:08Speaker 3: She she forced the revolution from a king, a system
- 30:12Speaker 3: of kings to a republic in Rome. And why did
- 30:17Speaker 3: she force that revolution, Well, first of all, she disobeyed
- 30:20Speaker 3: what her male relatives were planning to do. But second
- 30:25Speaker 3: of all, by killing herself, she took these kind of
- 30:29Speaker 3: these kind of tribal war over women's honor off the table.
- 30:34Speaker 3: So now you have to change the system itself to
- 30:37Speaker 3: avenge your dead wife, your dead sister, your dead mother,
- 30:42Speaker 3: your dead daughter. Because it's done. She's not You can't
- 30:46Speaker 3: she her. There's no there's no recompense, there's no way
- 30:52Speaker 3: of resolving this. You either have to live with a
- 30:55Speaker 3: system that allows this to happen in women to die,
- 30:58Speaker 3: or you change it. So it was changed. Another disobedient woman.
- 31:02Speaker 3: Feminists never talk about her, and yet she's quite heroic
- 31:06Speaker 3: if you think about it. She refused to allow a
- 31:11Speaker 3: conflict to consume her society and instead said this needs
- 31:16Speaker 3: to change on a fundamental level, on a political level. Right,
- 31:20Speaker 3: So this need we need to become a society where
- 31:22Speaker 3: men respect each other's families and don't do stuff like this.
- 31:27Speaker 3: And that's where the whole condemnation of the king in
- 31:30Speaker 3: Rome came from. And again it was the thing that
- 31:34Speaker 3: spurred the development of the Republic. Feminists don't talk about
- 31:39Speaker 3: that disobedient woman either. I wonder why.
- 31:45Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, all right, and I got another super chow
- 31:51Speaker 2: or chat rather from Albert Nada retro for two dollars
- 31:55Speaker 2: Canadian He says because she saved men's lives. Yeah, well, again,
- 32:01Speaker 2: I don't think it necessarily contradicts what I was getting at.
- 32:05Speaker 2: It's it's about being.
- 32:10Speaker 3: Disobi destroying the system.
- 32:13Speaker 2: Yes, to the system itself, because the system is oppressive
- 32:16Speaker 2: because it's made by men, and there's a lot of
- 32:19Speaker 2: and when when women do this stuff, they're signaling to
- 32:23Speaker 2: to find out first of all, if it's safe for
- 32:26Speaker 2: them to have these opinions in a way, because you know,
- 32:29Speaker 2: if if there are more women doing it, then they'll
- 32:31Speaker 2: be like, oh, okay, then the sisterhood wants this. I'm
- 32:34Speaker 2: going to do this or I'm going to say this.
- 32:36Speaker 2: So it's not really because it is like there's no
- 32:40Speaker 2: principle behind it. It's just like, you know, I'm doing
- 32:44Speaker 2: this to gain favor with people.
- 32:46Speaker 1: That's it. But anyway, let's continue.
- 32:48Speaker 3: Actually, can I just get in there. That's probably why
- 32:51Speaker 3: they don't talk about Lucretia or Madam these aspects of
- 32:55Speaker 3: Madam Currie. It's because that they were principled. They were
- 33:00Speaker 3: out of principle. They're acting out of upholding. An external
- 33:04Speaker 3: standard for Madam Curriot was the external standard of healing, protecting,
- 33:09Speaker 3: and saving and for Lucretia. It was the external standard
- 33:14Speaker 3: of maintaining the society that they had constructed. Okay, let's go.
- 33:22Speaker 7: I'm going to jump in and say that I would
- 33:25Speaker 7: very much enjoy if we could attempt to troll the
- 33:31Speaker 7: feminist movement because obviously they seem to want the most horrible,
- 33:36Speaker 7: heinous creatures on their side. Now, given the interest in
- 33:40Speaker 7: the what was it, the Morning Glory milking maid thing
- 33:43Speaker 7: not very long ago, I think we should try to
- 33:48Speaker 7: troll the feminist movement into taking the minotaur onto their side.
- 33:52Speaker 7: So you know, theseus says, we all know he's the
- 33:54Speaker 7: bad guy now because he killed the hot Minu taur BF.
- 34:01Speaker 7: I think we should try and do that, just that
- 34:03Speaker 7: that creature is just unrelentingly evil. It's honestly, I think
- 34:10Speaker 7: you probably could because that thing had to literally be
- 34:13Speaker 7: fed babies. That that was part of the.
- 34:17Speaker 1: Predator from Yeah, absolutely it was. It was like a
- 34:21Speaker 1: cannibalistic well I guess carnivor Carnivor eight men and babies.
- 34:26Speaker 7: And stuff, half carniffal, half man half ball, so I
- 34:29Speaker 7: guess half carnival, half cannibal. But yeah, like that, that
- 34:33Speaker 7: was literally the entire purpose of that that thing was.
- 34:37Speaker 7: You know, Crete would send out these ships with the
- 34:39Speaker 7: black sails, and everyone would ship themselves because they said,
- 34:42Speaker 7: oh god, we now have to give up a large
- 34:45Speaker 7: number of babies so that the minotaur can go and
- 34:48Speaker 7: eat them. I think we could get them to claim
- 34:53Speaker 7: that because hey, minosaurs are hot, and so is murdering babies.
- 34:59Speaker 7: Minus all stychon confirmed, let's go.
- 35:03Speaker 3: I think it's already been done. I remember watching a
- 35:06Speaker 3: summary of that story in which the minuitor was presented
- 35:10Speaker 3: as a Oh no it was. It was a guy
- 35:13Speaker 3: who was going into the labyrinth of crete, and he
- 35:16Speaker 3: presented the story as if the minotaur was the sympathetic party.
- 35:20Speaker 3: I'm like, you know, I think this is a little
- 35:22Speaker 3: sus But you know, why wouldn't they Why not? Why not?
- 35:28Speaker 3: Let's go there? All right, let's sell see a little
- 35:31Speaker 3: bit more of the video. Oh are her fans saying anything?
- 35:34Speaker 3: I'm curious? Are they quieted up?
- 35:39Speaker 1: Let's see. I'll go to the vertical chat.
- 35:42Speaker 2: Stephen Kelly Belly said, Uh, Angela Collier is impeccable dog.
- 35:49Speaker 2: She is female and correct, very consistent attitude person. These
- 35:53Speaker 2: women are not women. You are insane. I don't know
- 35:57Speaker 2: what these women are not women means. But Reason twenty
- 36:01Speaker 2: four says, y'all seem miserable. Oh I get it now
- 36:06Speaker 2: you're all in cells. Loll Well that's it. I'm going
- 36:09Speaker 2: to kill myself because I got called an in cell again.
- 36:12Speaker 1: That's the last time. I don't buy cruel world.
- 36:17Speaker 3: I don't think your wife's like that.
- 36:19Speaker 1: Yeah, well do I do?
- 36:21Speaker 3: I have to kill myself because I'm an insult Yes?
- 36:24Speaker 1: Well the wait, you're a woman, though, so he shouldn't
- 36:26Speaker 1: be calling you.
- 36:26Speaker 3: That I'm an insingc I'm an InSync, I mean terry single,
- 36:31Speaker 3: except I'm not. But okay, let's keep going.
- 36:35Speaker 7: Yeah, so does does the husband and the wife of
- 36:38Speaker 7: the people on the street? Are they aware of the
- 36:40Speaker 7: in cell and insing NAT panelists?
- 36:44Speaker 3: Let me see. I'll go and ask Jonathan, Hey, Jonathan,
- 36:49Speaker 3: some fan, what's the woman's name? Again?
- 36:52Speaker 1: Well, I mean, I don't know for sure that it's
- 36:54Speaker 1: a woman. It just seems no reason Reason four.
- 37:03Speaker 3: No, somebody is saying that I am involuntary celibate. He
- 37:09Speaker 3: just looked at me. What are you talking about? Woman?
- 37:13Speaker 5: Oh?
- 37:13Speaker 3: Okay, let's keep going.
- 37:15Speaker 1: All, let's keep going.
- 37:16Speaker 7: I say I am disappointed. All we have got is
- 37:20Speaker 7: name calling. Nothing that is said is addressed, of course not.
- 37:25Speaker 7: This is just this is just yep. Whenever any feminist
- 37:30Speaker 7: says something and you say, I don't think that makes sense. No,
- 37:33Speaker 7: you are the bad person, you are the wrong person.
- 37:35Speaker 7: I'm not going to address. What you're saying is simply
- 37:37Speaker 7: your identity. That is wrong, wonderful, We don't care.
- 37:44Speaker 3: Yeah, I'll tell you exactly what that is. I'll tell
- 37:47Speaker 3: you exactly what that is. They're just pre judging your
- 37:50Speaker 3: right to say anything. And what I mean by that
- 37:53Speaker 3: is they're saying you're outside the relational web. Therefore your
- 37:55Speaker 3: opinion is meaningless. Nothing about your substantive arguments registers because
- 38:01Speaker 3: they've said, you know, we don't have to address you.
- 38:05Speaker 3: You're outside the relational web. We have predit categorized you
- 38:09Speaker 3: as in the void, so no argument you present could
- 38:16Speaker 3: possibly be correct. That's the way they think, guys. They
- 38:21Speaker 3: don't understand that arguments exist separate from the people who
- 38:25Speaker 3: are advancing them. Like literally, if these people were in charge,
- 38:30Speaker 3: they would kill messengers. Like some messenger would be like
- 38:34Speaker 3: my queen, the northern bandits are invading, and the queen
- 38:38Speaker 3: would be like, off with his head, and then is
- 38:42Speaker 3: her advisor would be like, but what are we going
- 38:43Speaker 3: to do anything about that? And then she would turn
- 38:45Speaker 3: to him and say, off with your head, and that
- 38:48Speaker 3: would be her solution to reality. Okay, And this is
- 38:54Speaker 3: why I have sympathy for Aristophranes to friends er Arista
- 39:02Speaker 3: and his so called misogyny, because if you get an
- 39:07Speaker 3: Aristophanes and his so called misogyny, because if you get
- 39:10Speaker 3: enough of people who think that way in government, you
- 39:14Speaker 3: no longer can respond effectively to the Northern bendits invading. Yeah,
- 39:19Speaker 3: that's their solution to everything is just cut the head
- 39:22Speaker 3: off the messenger, say he isn't part of the relational web.
- 39:25Speaker 3: That solves it. Oh the pipes of the oil rig
- 39:32Speaker 3: or the royal platform, they're getting thin. Well, let's just
- 39:36Speaker 3: fire the man who said that. That will solve the issue.
- 39:40Speaker 3: Good damn? Can you do you understand how that does
- 39:43Speaker 3: doesn't work anywhere?
- 39:46Speaker 1: Shun the non believers, shine, shine.
- 39:55Speaker 8: Shine, Okay, all right, for some reason, I'm not hearing anything.
- 40:11Speaker 1: Nope, Oh I may sometimes I have to restart this.
- 40:14Speaker 1: I don't know why.
- 40:15Speaker 2: Maybe I can try refreshing the page agency, Can you guys,
- 40:20Speaker 2: hear it now, Nope, stop sharing it, share it?
- 40:28Speaker 3: Oh boy, no, I think I heard briefly your echo
- 40:31Speaker 3: from your.
- 40:32Speaker 1: Just take a second, relax.
- 40:35Speaker 3: Yeah, and in this case, I will use this second
- 40:38Speaker 3: to say we're back.
- 40:38Speaker 1: You go ahead, do your thing.
- 40:43Speaker 3: Okay. If you would like to send us a message,

- 41:12Speaker 3: have we have some live ones in the in the
- 41:15Speaker 3: vertical chat, some people who are defending my fair lady's honor,
- 41:22Speaker 3: even though I don't even think we've roughed her up
- 41:24Speaker 3: at all yet, have we? I don't think so?
- 41:29Speaker 7: Okay, No, we haven't been in any way unfair about her,
- 41:32Speaker 7: apart from the last stream where I told her to
- 41:34Speaker 7: return to the kitchen in about three or four different
- 41:36Speaker 7: ways in Latin. But that was. That was just me
- 41:39Speaker 7: flexing the fact that I know a little bit of
- 41:41Speaker 7: Latin and because it was fun.
- 41:44Speaker 2: I mean, the only thing that I think that we
- 41:46Speaker 2: have done is basically just question the decision to align
- 41:53Speaker 2: with this character, which she's going to get into here
- 41:56Speaker 2: in a bit. But uh, let me, I got another
- 41:59Speaker 2: super chain. So Albernina retro gives us ten dollars Canadian
- 42:02Speaker 2: and says, do your respect to spouses. Know that you're
- 42:05Speaker 2: involuntarily celibate. You're racist, your sexist, your homophobic, transphobic, xenophobic,
- 42:10Speaker 2: and you have TDS because you disagree with me. It's
- 42:12Speaker 2: all the same.
- 42:14Speaker 1: All right, thank you, let's let's it going.
- 42:17Speaker 7: Since has just been invalidated, that is it. You have
- 42:20Speaker 7: been socially destroyed, and now you should go away forever.
- 42:24Speaker 1: Yeah, disappear.
- 42:27Speaker 7: That's fundamentally all of this because you why not?
- 42:34Speaker 3: And yet somehow I persist, and I'm also having to
- 42:37Speaker 3: deal with my dog.
- 42:38Speaker 1: All right, I gonna hit play on this.
- 42:41Speaker 6: When you were twelve years old or something, you weren't
- 42:43Speaker 6: You weren't reading the argonautica. So Medea is a princess,
- 42:48Speaker 6: but she's also related to the gods. She's the granddaughter
- 42:51Speaker 6: of Helios, the sun god, the god representing the sun,
- 42:56Speaker 6: and she's the daughter of the king of Cultis. Medea
- 43:00Speaker 6: first shows up in the myth of Jason, you know,
- 43:02Speaker 6: Jason and the Argonauts. It's most famously in the Argonautica
- 43:07Speaker 6: and just the most quick recap of all time. Jason
- 43:13Speaker 6: was gonna be the king of something, but he didn't.
- 43:16Speaker 6: Somebody took over, and so in order to become the king,
- 43:18Speaker 6: he asked to go get the Golden Fleece, and to
- 43:21Speaker 6: do that, he gets the Argo, and he gets a
- 43:23Speaker 6: bunch of heroes, including Heracles. Sometimes the myths differ to
- 43:28Speaker 6: like go around and do island adventures, you know those
- 43:31Speaker 6: things in Greek mythology that famously take like twenty years
- 43:35Speaker 6: and like you meet witches and stuff. Medea is a witch.
- 43:38Speaker 6: One thing that happens to Jason. That's important.
- 43:41Speaker 1: Oh, that's interesting.
- 43:43Speaker 2: So Medea being a witch is probably not an accident
- 43:47Speaker 2: in terms of like these people finding that her to
- 43:51Speaker 2: be so appealing because they tend to do that, They
- 43:54Speaker 2: tend to appeal to find like witches appealing because they
- 43:58Speaker 2: see them as you know, outcasts, misunderstood, victims of patriarchy,
- 44:07Speaker 2: and these kinds of things.
- 44:08Speaker 1: So maybe that's what it is. I could be wrong, but.
- 44:12Speaker 3: Yeah, you're not wrong, but they are.
- 44:15Speaker 2: Yeah well no, yeah sure, but I'm saying like they
- 44:18Speaker 2: like witches. That's what that's what they gravitate to. That's
- 44:21Speaker 2: who they relate to, you know, you know how like
- 44:24Speaker 2: and like as as an assign the the LGBTQ activists,
- 44:30Speaker 2: they they tend to like stand for fictional characters like
- 44:35Speaker 2: Penny Wise and the Baba Duke.
- 44:39Speaker 1: I don't know why. I mean, I can think of
- 44:42Speaker 1: some things, but it just seems like it was just.
- 44:45Speaker 2: Going back to what Tilder said before. They like find
- 44:47Speaker 2: the worst people and they say, oh, those are our people.
- 44:51Speaker 2: They find the word and I just think it's to
- 44:52Speaker 2: be like, look at me, I'm against the grain. Look
- 44:55Speaker 2: at me, I'm choosing the you know, I'm choosing the bear.
- 44:58Speaker 2: I'm going against the grain. I don't know, it's just
- 45:00Speaker 2: what I.
- 45:01Speaker 1: What I think.
- 45:02Speaker 3: But yeah, well again, I think it's like, if I
- 45:06Speaker 3: go back to the analysis from a relational web perspective,
- 45:10Speaker 3: it's the idea you want to turn the entire world
- 45:12Speaker 3: into judging people by their position in the relational web
- 45:17Speaker 3: versus their actions. So if they can adopt these horrific
- 45:22Speaker 3: these people, these characters that have engaged in horrific actions,
- 45:25Speaker 3: they can adopt them and get everybody to see them
- 45:28Speaker 3: as the good guy because of the consensus. And that's
- 45:32Speaker 3: just another win for the dominance of the relational web over,
- 45:36Speaker 3: you know, judging people by the content of their character.
- 45:40Speaker 3: But yeah, like the the what I wanted to get
- 45:43Speaker 3: into with the witches thing is, first of all, a
- 45:47Speaker 3: lot of witches were accused of that by other women.
- 45:52Speaker 3: They were initiated the whole the whole condemnation was initiated
- 45:55Speaker 3: by other women. And the witch trials that I've actually
- 45:59Speaker 3: looked at, like I've actually read the people who were
- 46:02Speaker 3: accused of witchcraft generally were really obnoxious. And first of all,
- 46:10Speaker 3: it wasn't all women. Almost everywhere, at least thirty percent
- 46:14Speaker 3: of witchcraft, the people accused of witchcraft were men, and
- 46:18Speaker 3: in Scandinavian countries the majority of the people accused of
- 46:21Speaker 3: witchcraft were men. But also a lot of these people
- 46:25Speaker 3: apparently like we're just assholes, Like they were doing things
- 46:32Speaker 3: to their communities that were disruptive, dangerous, con artistry, they
- 46:37Speaker 3: were just like all kinds of stuff that was extremely
- 46:41Speaker 3: anti social, and it almost starts to feel like you
- 46:45Speaker 3: get an allegation of witchcraft when your neighbors are just
- 46:48Speaker 3: shitting tired of you in your nonsense, and it is
- 46:52Speaker 3: almost like adultery too. Like the way that these these
- 46:56Speaker 3: laws were applied is as long as you were not
- 47:02Speaker 3: an intolerable human being who was engaging in all kinds
- 47:07Speaker 3: of potentially deadly and or awful mischief and I shouldn't
- 47:11Speaker 3: use the word mischief, but just calamities. You were just like, yeah, yeah,
- 47:15Speaker 3: if you were like an old lady herbalist who helped
- 47:19Speaker 3: people through sickness and childbirth, you were left alone. In fact,
- 47:22Speaker 3: you were more likely to be left alone if you
- 47:24Speaker 3: were helpful to your community. But if you were like
- 47:28Speaker 3: a man or a woman on the outskirts burring voodoo
- 47:31Speaker 3: dolls and like travelers just mysteriously disappeared when they went
- 47:37Speaker 3: past your stretch of the road, you were more likely
- 47:39Speaker 3: to get hit with an accusation of witchcraft. But it
- 47:43Speaker 3: wasn't really I'm almost I get the feeling like nobody
- 47:46Speaker 3: actually believed in the witchcraft. They just were really tired
- 47:49Speaker 3: of these people and what they were up to. And
- 47:53Speaker 3: it's the same sort of thing with adultery, like I
- 47:56Speaker 3: don't think if you were I don't know, the butcher
- 47:58Speaker 3: given it to the U, the tailor's wife, anybody really
- 48:02Speaker 3: did anything. But once you started screwing everybody's virgin daughters,
- 48:08Speaker 3: they're like, no, you're getting strong up like it was.
- 48:11Speaker 3: It was a gradient, I mean, and people seem don't
- 48:15Speaker 3: seem to realize that the Middle Ages was actually were
- 48:19Speaker 3: pretty pragmatic and sensible about a lot of stuff. And
- 48:23Speaker 3: uh so, I'm like looking at these trials and I'm saying,
- 48:27Speaker 3: you feminists have no idea what they're talking about, none
- 48:31Speaker 3: whatsoever as usual, And also the amount of women killed
- 48:35Speaker 3: through witchcraft is completely exaggerated the way the numbers that
- 48:40Speaker 3: they throw around are basically a feminist scholar, sorry scholar,
- 48:50Speaker 3: excuse me, a feminist, a feminist scholar just pulling things
- 48:58Speaker 3: out of her ass, right, And the actual numbers are
- 49:03Speaker 3: orders of magnitude lower, and in fact, in many, in
- 49:08Speaker 3: many cases, people who were who accused somebody of wishcraft
- 49:13Speaker 3: falsely could themselves end up standing trial for a false accusation.
- 49:19Speaker 3: So it's a lot more complicated than they're making out.
- 49:22Speaker 3: There's a lot more nuance They love that term nuance,
- 49:25Speaker 3: but they never apply it against their own findings. Then
- 49:28Speaker 3: they're making out. So I just wanted to put that
- 49:31Speaker 3: out there. The entire mythology around witches is wrong. I
- 49:36Speaker 3: don't know why they didn't. Why why can't Why couldn't
- 49:38Speaker 3: feminists be like, we want to be herbalists, you know,
- 49:42Speaker 3: why can't we lionize the the elder woman of the
- 49:46Speaker 3: of the of the community that help women through childbirth
- 49:49Speaker 3: or something, you know, the midwives. How come they're never
- 49:52Speaker 3: like that. It's always the witches. Yeah, it's great back
- 49:56Speaker 3: to that Luke Kretia versus Madame.
- 49:59Speaker 2: Kristing being an herbalist and like helping that's a lot
- 50:02Speaker 2: of work.
- 50:04Speaker 1: Why do all that work.
- 50:05Speaker 2: When you can just be, you know, a lazy slob
- 50:08Speaker 2: and then say that you're like doing magic, Like maybe
- 50:12Speaker 2: you know, you just do like some fucking bead work.
- 50:15Speaker 2: I don't know what witches do. I assume it's not
- 50:17Speaker 2: a lot. That's why it's so popular with modern women.
- 50:21Speaker 7: Yeah, actually, like, look at what any of them do.
- 50:24Speaker 7: They all they like to talk about herbalism a lot,
- 50:28Speaker 7: but it's literally just I'm going to go to the
- 50:31Speaker 7: shop and buy herbs and like cook with them and
- 50:35Speaker 7: make some tea and stuff, and they think that that's
- 50:38Speaker 7: what it is. And other than that, it's all just aesthetics.
- 50:41Speaker 1: Yeah, it's yeah.
- 50:44Speaker 7: They're not actually interested in the medicinal properties of hubs
- 50:48Speaker 7: or other plants or flowers. They don't actually know how
- 50:51Speaker 7: to use them in any actual useful capacity. I also
- 50:57Speaker 7: have to wonder how much this the witch disvied versus
- 51:03Speaker 7: you know, actually understanding medicine and herbalism. Herbalism is actually
- 51:07Speaker 7: at core just medicine. About fifty percent of all modern
- 51:12Speaker 7: medicines are derived from plants. Anyway, there's a lot out there.
- 51:16Speaker 7: It's just most people don't know what they are because
- 51:18Speaker 7: they have no reason to anymore. But it does make
- 51:22Speaker 7: me wonder because so much of this modern witchcraft stuff
- 51:27Speaker 7: which descended out of you know, you find a lot
- 51:30Speaker 7: of it with like Dianic wicker, and it all descends
- 51:32Speaker 7: from the thing that I'm getting kind of tired about
- 51:35Speaker 7: talking about every goddamn time I'm here, the left Hegelian
- 51:39Speaker 7: spark of the divine that you've got inside you, that
- 51:42Speaker 7: gnostic belief that you can alter vibrations by simply manifesting
- 51:47Speaker 7: you just will you use that spark of the oversoul
- 51:51Speaker 7: that's inside you to be able to do all of
- 51:53Speaker 7: these wonderful things, apparently, whether they just gravitate towards witchcraft,
- 51:58Speaker 7: because it lets the signal I have the strongest and
- 52:04Speaker 7: goodest of intentions. My intentions are so good they can
- 52:08Speaker 7: actually change the world. But I don't actually have to
- 52:11Speaker 7: learn how to do anything. I don't have to prove
- 52:14Speaker 7: Herbalism you have to prove that you can do something.
- 52:18Speaker 7: You have to prove. Okay, I have these herbs. I
- 52:20Speaker 7: have you know, cooked them, might have distilled the m've
- 52:23Speaker 7: boiled the might have soaked them in the alcohol and extract.
- 52:26Speaker 7: I've done whatever it is that you do with that.
- 52:28Speaker 7: You've made your tinctures of opium, more, your tinctures of
- 52:31Speaker 7: Saint John's water, whatever it is that you're going to make.
- 52:35Speaker 7: There's some sort of proof in the pudding there, or
- 52:38Speaker 7: the eating of the pudding as it would be, whatever
- 52:41Speaker 7: you've laced that particular pudding with to have whatever effect
- 52:45Speaker 7: it will be on people. There's an objective endpoint to that,
- 52:47Speaker 7: whereas just sitting in front of a candle and throwing
- 52:51Speaker 7: your energy out into the cosmos altering your vibrations and
- 52:56Speaker 7: rippling things across the ether to do whatever the hell
- 53:01Speaker 7: it is that you think you're going to do. Attack
- 53:04Speaker 7: Donald Trump. For a lot of them, if you read
- 53:06Speaker 7: the insane witch reddit people, there was a massive drama
- 53:11Speaker 7: on that as well. A bunch of them were like,
- 53:12Speaker 7: we're going to do rituals and hext Donald Trump, and
- 53:15Speaker 7: then like about a week later they were screeching about
- 53:18Speaker 7: how he had divine protection and divine wards and nothing
- 53:22Speaker 7: wasn't and nothing was working and in fact their own
- 53:24Speaker 7: lives were getting worse when they tried it, which I
- 53:28Speaker 7: just thought was hilarious. So maybe your life just sucks anyway,
- 53:34Speaker 7: and you're warming everyone except yourself. And now because you've
- 53:37Speaker 7: declared that I hate someone else, clearly me thinking about
- 53:42Speaker 7: hating that other person is the thing that's making my
- 53:44Speaker 7: life was because he's doing it. It's not me, it's him.
- 53:48Speaker 7: I had bad thoughts about someone and this is divine
- 53:51Speaker 7: retribution or some the weird I don't even know the
- 53:56Speaker 7: strange people, but it makes me wonder if that's what
- 53:58Speaker 7: it is. It's just they get to, you know, do
- 54:00Speaker 7: do their social signaling of my intentions are the best intentions.
- 54:05Speaker 3: Uh huh, yeah, yeah, and yeah again, like herbalists is,
- 54:13Speaker 3: they're judged by the well being of others if they
- 54:18Speaker 3: improve their well being or not. And it's a difficult
- 54:21Speaker 3: kind of it's a difficult skill or a difficult profession
- 54:27Speaker 3: to pursue because you also have to know where to
- 54:31Speaker 3: find the herbs, how to process them, et cetera. And
- 54:34Speaker 3: it actually reminded me of before the industrialization of food,
- 54:39Speaker 3: women in the US would actually be able to know
- 54:44Speaker 3: how to process and exploit local foods, including like local
- 54:50Speaker 3: berries and fruits, and that was completely lost and feminism
- 54:55Speaker 3: never talked to. The order is ten percent.
- 55:00Speaker 7: I have looked this up because I am someone who
- 55:02Speaker 7: likes to go out and forage and all this stuff.
- 55:05Speaker 7: Of all the plant matter that humans can ingest, we
- 55:10Speaker 7: ten percent of it. We have basically lost ninety percent
- 55:14Speaker 7: of the potential vegetable fruits and stuff diet because it's
- 55:19Speaker 7: usually just stuff that doesn't scale economically well enough to
- 55:22Speaker 7: be found, even though you can still use like I
- 55:25Speaker 7: grow in my garden skirt in something called skirt. It's
- 55:30Speaker 7: a root vegetable. It's a native to Europe. It's basically
- 55:35Speaker 7: if you took like parsnips and potatoes and kind of
- 55:39Speaker 7: mix them together. The problem is it grows in these
- 55:43Speaker 7: like fingery fists, so you have to pull it out,
- 55:47Speaker 7: snap bits off of it, and then peel them and
- 55:50Speaker 7: then there's sort of like a thin finger left. It's
- 55:53Speaker 7: way more effort to process them than it is to
- 55:56Speaker 7: rip an entire you know, sort of ovalish potato out
- 56:00Speaker 7: of the ground or a singular tap root, long straight
- 56:03Speaker 7: carrot and skirit you will you will almost never find
- 56:08Speaker 7: it anywhere because the economy of scaling up something like that,
- 56:13Speaker 7: which is such a pain in the ass of process,
- 56:15Speaker 7: it doesn't work. And so this is why when it
- 56:17Speaker 7: comes to modern farming, we've eliminated about ninety percent of
- 56:22Speaker 7: all the different you know, plants, fruits, vegetables, herbs, all
- 56:25Speaker 7: this stuff that humans can eat. We're down to like
- 56:28Speaker 7: ten percent. And this is I think why so many people,
- 56:32Speaker 7: I don't know, just kind of struggle a lot in
- 56:34Speaker 7: life and they just have no idea how much stuff
- 56:36Speaker 7: they can eat. I mean, like other stuff in my garden.
- 56:39Speaker 7: I'm going to use my garden a lot for the
- 56:41Speaker 7: example here, because I like to farm on small scales.
- 56:44Speaker 7: I have out there gallon gull ow. Galon gull is
- 56:50Speaker 7: something that I grow in my pond. It's an aquatic plant.
- 56:53Speaker 7: It's an aquatic reed. Again, it's another European native. The
- 56:58Speaker 7: root of that if you pull out, it's got a
- 57:01Speaker 7: starchy root to it. You can just eat it as
- 57:03Speaker 7: it is, but it's much better if you dry it
- 57:05Speaker 7: out and you powder it and it turns into something
- 57:07Speaker 7: that's kind of halfway between ginger and tumeric. How many
- 57:12Speaker 7: people know this, basically none of them. But it's another
- 57:16Speaker 7: thing that is.
- 57:19Speaker 3: It's just last.
- 57:20Speaker 7: It's kind of lost and just kind of an annoying
- 57:24Speaker 7: thing to process because they put down their roots go
- 57:28Speaker 7: down quite deep to form these big starchy nodes, and
- 57:32Speaker 7: you've then got to pull them out, and they are
- 57:34Speaker 7: a pain in the ass to pull out, like trying
- 57:37Speaker 7: to get that stuff out of that bog filter it.
- 57:39Speaker 7: It's horrible trying to get it out. It's not really
- 57:42Speaker 7: worth it for what it produces. But I tried it
- 57:44Speaker 7: anyway because I thought it was fun. Other things again
- 57:48Speaker 7: somewhat difficult to scale. Cat tails you can eat, not
- 57:52Speaker 7: cattails as in mew cattails, cattails as in things by
- 57:56Speaker 7: the sides of ponds. Cattails. You can eat every single
- 57:59Speaker 7: part part of that plant. You can eat the flowers,
- 58:02Speaker 7: you can eat, the seeds, you can eat, the stalks,
- 58:04Speaker 7: you can eat the stems. The stems are a very
- 58:06Speaker 7: nice sort of starchy, tuberous thing. The leaves and the
- 58:10Speaker 7: stems are a bit tough. It's kind of like crunching
- 58:12Speaker 7: through bamboo. It's completely fine. Flowers are a little bit
- 58:16Speaker 7: floral tasting, they're not particularly fantastic, and the seeds are
- 58:19Speaker 7: just crunchy seeds. But you can eat everything about them.
- 58:22Speaker 7: But trying to scale those up to a farmable state
- 58:25Speaker 7: is a pain in the ass, so nobody does it.
- 58:28Speaker 7: Because you have to have these like long straight rows.
- 58:31Speaker 7: You basically would have to grow them in rice paddies.
- 58:34Speaker 7: But the problem is because their roots go down deeper again,
- 58:37Speaker 7: unlike rice, which is quite easy to pull out because
- 58:40Speaker 7: the roots don't go as far down. And also you're
- 58:45Speaker 7: tending just to take the grains off the top of it.
- 58:48Speaker 7: Just trying to mechanize that like trying to I don't
- 58:53Speaker 7: even know how you do it. Have a tractor that
- 58:55Speaker 7: can submerge itself halfway in the water and drive along
- 58:58Speaker 7: these it's not going to happen. And also, I suppose
- 59:03Speaker 7: nutritionally they're not fantastic, but it's a nice survivalood if
- 59:08Speaker 7: nothing else. You find an entire riverbed full of them
- 59:10Speaker 7: and think, right, the next half an hour of my
- 59:12Speaker 7: life is pulling those out and crunching the roots down. Okay, sure,
- 59:16Speaker 7: I gotta do what you gotta do, but no one
- 59:19Speaker 7: would know how to do that.
- 59:21Speaker 3: I've heard that the flower from the roots can make
- 59:24Speaker 3: a good replacement for actual flower, but.
- 59:28Speaker 7: Them plant things like that. Do you dry them out
- 59:31Speaker 7: and just powder them? They they all have different sort
- 59:34Speaker 7: of flavors, so you can make like cattail crackers. They're
- 59:37Speaker 7: really easy to make. Just roll out and just you know,
- 59:41Speaker 7: dry it out, powder, roll it out with a little
- 59:44Speaker 7: bit of water in it, and you have a cracker.
- 59:47Speaker 7: It's kind of nice.
- 59:48Speaker 3: Yeah, land But well, but the overall like point of
- 59:53Speaker 3: all of this is that, like you said, ninety of
- 59:56Speaker 3: all of that knowledge was lost. Well, guess who was
- 59:58Speaker 3: probably processing all of that And feminists never talk about that.
- 1:00:02Speaker 3: It's a huge amount of information that women used to
- 1:00:06Speaker 3: control about how to turn the environment into things that
- 1:00:11Speaker 3: could feed people, and it's gone because of industrialization and
- 1:00:15Speaker 3: feminists never talk about any of that, just like they
- 1:00:18Speaker 3: prefer the witches to the herbalists. They don't talk about
- 1:00:22Speaker 3: how the women in the past, the much maligned homemakers,
- 1:00:28Speaker 3: which actually are more like homesteaders, had all of this
- 1:00:31Speaker 3: knowledge of how to survive in the environments that they
- 1:00:34Speaker 3: were part of. And I remember like watching this because
- 1:00:38Speaker 3: it was a YouTube video on all of the different
- 1:00:41Speaker 3: kinds of pies and bake goods and jams and other stuff,
- 1:00:46Speaker 3: and it was like every region had its own particular
- 1:00:50Speaker 3: berries and fruits and tubers, and they all knew how
- 1:00:54Speaker 3: to process it, how to harvest and process it, and
- 1:00:57Speaker 3: all of that was lost. And instead of actually thinking
- 1:01:00Speaker 3: about that and thinking about, well, let's call ourselves nor
- 1:01:04Speaker 3: let's let's let's uh look up to them, the uh
- 1:01:08Speaker 3: herbalists and the female homesteaders made life possible in the West,
- 1:01:13Speaker 3: And like, no, let's look up to the witches who
- 1:01:15Speaker 3: made everybody's lives miserable.
- 1:01:18Speaker 1: Like what?
- 1:01:19Speaker 3: I like? Why what? What? Your selection of female role
- 1:01:24Speaker 3: models leaves a great deal to be desired feminists, at
- 1:01:29Speaker 3: least for me. But let's uh shall we continue?
- 1:01:34Speaker 6: Is he he helps Haarah, who is disguised as an old,
- 1:01:38Speaker 6: sad woman across some river. So now Harah really likes
- 1:01:42Speaker 6: Jason and he's always got the good luck because of that.
- 1:01:46Speaker 6: And they land on Culchis where the Golden Fleece is,
- 1:01:50Speaker 6: and Hara is like, hey, there's no way Jason's not
- 1:01:53Speaker 6: gonna die. We need to convince him media to help him.
- 1:01:58Speaker 6: So she has Harah, the god has arrows, shoot Medea
- 1:02:03Speaker 6: with an arrow and make her immediately fall in love
- 1:02:06Speaker 6: with Jason. So Medea, even though she feels quite guilty,
- 1:02:10Speaker 6: betrays her family and helps Jason out. And while they're escaping.
- 1:02:15Speaker 3: Okay, we're glossing here, we're glossing here, Medea kills her brother.
- 1:02:22Speaker 3: She feels quite guilty, she kills her own brother to
- 1:02:27Speaker 3: slow her father's pursuit during the escape. I also want
- 1:02:31Speaker 3: to point something out, like I'm actually feeling more for
- 1:02:34Speaker 3: Jason because it feels like he's just being screwed around
- 1:02:37Speaker 3: with by a bunch of women. Did Jason say, hey,
- 1:02:40Speaker 3: I want Medea to I want overly attached girlfriend to
- 1:02:44Speaker 3: be to fall in love with me. Like was that
- 1:02:47Speaker 3: ever part of the plan or is it just assumed
- 1:02:49Speaker 3: that if Medea loves Jason, then he has to tolerate
- 1:02:52Speaker 3: it or submit to it. All Right? You see where
- 1:02:56Speaker 3: I'm getting is there is there any con consideration for
- 1:03:00Speaker 3: the fact that Jason may not want all of this
- 1:03:02Speaker 3: crap happening to him. I mean, I'm sure he wants
- 1:03:05Speaker 3: the Golden fleece, but does he necessarily want Medea? Was
- 1:03:09Speaker 3: his consent considered in all of this? Am I just
- 1:03:12Speaker 3: talking from from out of nowhere?
- 1:03:17Speaker 7: Men's consent in these things does not matter. It's another
- 1:03:21Speaker 7: trope that feminists like to do where they'll talk about like, oh,
- 1:03:24Speaker 7: arranged marriages, and even if you look at pop culture
- 1:03:27Speaker 7: and they talk about like, oh, you're going to marry
- 1:03:29Speaker 7: this person, the woman is always like, who, no, how
- 1:03:32Speaker 7: could I possibly he won't, while the guy is always
- 1:03:34Speaker 7: like just sort of leering and salivating, like he just
- 1:03:37Speaker 7: can't wait to rape her on their wedding night. If
- 1:03:40Speaker 7: you actually go historically, when it comes to arrange marriages, generally,
- 1:03:45Speaker 7: in a lot of cases, neither party was thrilled about
- 1:03:47Speaker 7: it because they didn't they weren't interested, or if it
- 1:03:51Speaker 7: was arranged a little bit more communally, because they were
- 1:03:54Speaker 7: both in the same sort of community, they were people
- 1:03:57Speaker 7: who already knew each other. And their families and probably
- 1:03:59Speaker 7: already poked them in the same direction. Anyway, This idea
- 1:04:04Speaker 7: that any sort of relationship and arranged thing like this
- 1:04:07Speaker 7: is this one sided where only the woman is the
- 1:04:11Speaker 7: hard done two party. It just seems to be a
- 1:04:14Speaker 7: trope of modernity, and it's one that feminists rather enjoy.
- 1:04:19Speaker 7: You know, you'll never find them talking about. There are
- 1:04:24Speaker 7: men who were forced into marrying women that they had
- 1:04:27Speaker 7: no interest in, or in some cases were actively repulsed by,
- 1:04:32Speaker 7: because they needed some sort of military alliance or something
- 1:04:37Speaker 7: like that. An example of that in this country Henry
- 1:04:44Speaker 7: the Eighth. It was I think it was Anne of Cleaves.
- 1:04:48Speaker 7: He found her to be hideously ugly. There was a
- 1:04:50Speaker 7: bunch of stories about how attractive he found her. Apparently
- 1:04:54Speaker 7: it was not very much. So they ended up getting
- 1:04:58Speaker 7: what was it divorced, Yeah, it was a divorce that. Yes, yes,
- 1:05:04Speaker 7: that one was one of the ones which was divorced.
- 1:05:07Speaker 7: But apparently they stayed friends after that anyway, Like they
- 1:05:10Speaker 7: were basically just pushed into marrying each other even though
- 1:05:12Speaker 7: they were apparently not that interested in each other in
- 1:05:15Speaker 7: that way. After the divorce, they still like wrote letters
- 1:05:19Speaker 7: and stuff to each other. Apparently they quite liked each
- 1:05:21Speaker 7: other as people, they just had no romantic interest in
- 1:05:24Speaker 7: each other.
- 1:05:27Speaker 3: Yeah, that's uh, I remember because I've been reading about
- 1:05:30Speaker 3: this kind of arranged stuff throughout history. I actually read
- 1:05:34Speaker 3: something on the European kings and mistresses and wives and stuff,
- 1:05:40Speaker 3: and yeah, there was no like in many cases, they
- 1:05:44Speaker 3: did not consent to this stuff. They just sort of
- 1:05:47Speaker 3: held their nose for their their country and a lot
- 1:05:52Speaker 3: of these women they were not attracted to at all,
- 1:05:54Speaker 3: which is why they often had mistresses. And what was
- 1:05:57Speaker 3: interesting is the king would have mistresses, but almost always
- 1:06:00Speaker 3: in Europe, the mistress themselves would be married, and usually
- 1:06:05Speaker 3: boons would accrue to her and her husband for this
- 1:06:07Speaker 3: arrangement because it seemed to their mind in the Middle
- 1:06:12Speaker 3: Ages that it would be worse to take a woman
- 1:06:15Speaker 3: who wasn't married. So that's something that people don't know.
- 1:06:21Speaker 3: And again, it was sort of almost like a palliative
- 1:06:25Speaker 3: for the fact that the guy had to perform for
- 1:06:29Speaker 3: a woman that he did not choose and probably was
- 1:06:32Speaker 3: not attracted to, and he had to do that in
- 1:06:34Speaker 3: order to create an air for the country. And it's
- 1:06:39Speaker 3: really it's really amusing because when you read that you
- 1:06:43Speaker 3: get a sense that these guys were just men dealing
- 1:06:47Speaker 3: with the situation that was actually quite unpleasant, being forced
- 1:06:52Speaker 3: to reproduce like a bull. And yeah, there's there's some
- 1:06:57Speaker 3: funny things. One example, this wasn't actually a king was
- 1:07:01Speaker 3: a there was a there was an aristocratic man who
- 1:07:04Speaker 3: a pope i believe, wanted to make an arrangement. This
- 1:07:07Speaker 3: was the time when the popes just had concubines, and
- 1:07:11Speaker 3: nobody even commented on it until the Reformation, when they
- 1:07:14Speaker 3: were like, you guys are a bunch of sluts. We
- 1:07:16Speaker 3: don't think you're you should be heading the church or whatever.
- 1:07:20Speaker 3: That's a very very loose appraisal of history and that
- 1:07:23Speaker 3: so don't don't, don't take it to the bank. But
- 1:07:27Speaker 3: so this the pope was trying to get this guy
- 1:07:29Speaker 3: to marry either a niece or a daughter, and the
- 1:07:33Speaker 3: girl was like twelve, and they got the arranged marriage,
- 1:07:37Speaker 3: but the guy was like, no, I'm not consummating, and
- 1:07:40Speaker 3: the pope was like, yes you are, because then you
- 1:07:43Speaker 3: know I'm not gonna let you square them out of this.
- 1:07:45Speaker 3: He's like, she's twelve, And so they chased him around
- 1:07:48Speaker 3: Europe for a bit, tried to chase him down and
- 1:07:52Speaker 3: they finally cornered him, and he like did the minimum,
- 1:07:55Speaker 3: the bare minimum, and then just was like, Okay, everybody's traumatized,
- 1:07:58Speaker 3: the marriage is consumate, and please leave me the fuck alone.
- 1:08:04Speaker 3: And I just found this entire like sequence. I know
- 1:08:07Speaker 3: it's horrifying, but it's also sort of blackly comedic. Is
- 1:08:13Speaker 3: it okay to say that? I mean, it's it's horrifying,
- 1:08:18Speaker 3: but it's uh.
- 1:08:20Speaker 1: Damn it.
- 1:08:27Speaker 3: Yeah, and it just it just, uh, it sort of
- 1:08:29Speaker 3: punctuates how unpleasant this all was. I'm not exactly sure
- 1:08:33Speaker 3: if like anything really happened. It's just that they spend
- 1:08:36Speaker 3: a night together, but yeah, it was, uh, it's it's
- 1:08:40Speaker 3: it's it just punctuates how unpleasant all of this was.
- 1:08:44Speaker 3: And again, it was mostly it was the aristocracy. It
- 1:08:46Speaker 3: was anybody who had anything to do with like an
- 1:08:49Speaker 3: inheritance that did this kind of stuff. Everybody else was
- 1:08:52Speaker 3: just even in the Middle Ages, we're just sort of
- 1:08:55Speaker 3: especially in Northern Europe, they were just doing it normally,
- 1:08:59Speaker 3: just a court getting married in your mid to late twenties. There,
- 1:09:04Speaker 3: you go to a person that you actually knew and liked.
- 1:09:09Speaker 3: If you didn't have property, it wasn't an issue, right,
- 1:09:12Speaker 3: so you might as well just get somebody you you like,
- 1:09:17Speaker 3: if you're a peasant or if you're a trades person.
- 1:09:21Speaker 3: But yeah, it's it's a lot different than what people think.
- 1:09:24Speaker 2: It was, all right, I got a couple of superchows
- 1:09:29Speaker 2: and then we'll play more of the videos. So Official
- 1:09:32Speaker 2: Reverse Traditionalism channel on YouTube gave us five dollars on
- 1:09:36Speaker 2: superchow and said, teal dear, is there one book you
- 1:09:39Speaker 2: would recommend for someone who wants to read and interpret
- 1:09:42Speaker 2: studies and identify statistical fallacies in them?
- 1:09:50Speaker 7: I haven't heard that, but one book no identifying nonsense.
- 1:09:56Speaker 7: When it comes to any sort of pay reviewed stuff,
- 1:09:58Speaker 7: you just have to but I don't even know. You
- 1:10:01Speaker 7: just have to read a bunch of it and just
- 1:10:04Speaker 7: sort of understand basic methodologies. In some cases, it's just
- 1:10:09Speaker 7: very easy. If you read the sorts of feminist peer
- 1:10:12Speaker 7: reviewed stuff that I've spent an annoying amount of time
- 1:10:15Speaker 7: doing over the years, it's replete with very basic errors.
- 1:10:19Speaker 7: You'll probably spot a bunch of them as it is. Otherwise,
- 1:10:24Speaker 7: like the most common sorts of statistical errors that you're
- 1:10:26Speaker 7: going to find in a lot of papers is it's
- 1:10:33Speaker 7: the lowest level of statistical fuckery that you're going to find.
- 1:10:37Speaker 7: It's things like small control groups, very biasedly selected or
- 1:10:43Speaker 7: located control groups, or groups of people, the outright removal
- 1:10:49Speaker 7: of control groups, or just straight up pea hacking or
- 1:10:55Speaker 7: changing the metrics that you're using. Just like you don't
- 1:10:58Speaker 7: find what you want using one method, you take the
- 1:11:01Speaker 7: same data and then you just decide to change your
- 1:11:03Speaker 7: methodology for whatever reason. They just change whatever the formula
- 1:11:09Speaker 7: is that they're putting it through, whatever regression it is.
- 1:11:12Speaker 7: They'll just change things like that till they get the
- 1:11:15Speaker 7: what they want as the outcome. I mean, that's just
- 1:11:17Speaker 7: pea hacking anyway. So yeah, if you want to know
- 1:11:19Speaker 7: how to find out problems with statistics when it comes
- 1:11:21Speaker 7: to like this sort of social so called science thing,
- 1:11:25Speaker 7: just read up on the concept of pe hacking. That'll
- 1:11:27Speaker 7: explain like half of.
- 1:11:29Speaker 2: It, all right, and dark Tiki Moura gave us five
- 1:11:34Speaker 2: dollars and said, do you suppose the reason that feminists
- 1:11:37Speaker 2: call themselves witches but trad wives never call themselves, Kiki mouras,
- 1:11:42Speaker 2: what is is because tradwives have better shit to do.
- 1:11:46Speaker 2: Because Alison has previously said nineteen fifties trad wives were
- 1:11:50Speaker 2: the first demographic to have leisure time, having nothing better
- 1:11:54Speaker 2: to do. Compared to that would have to be a
- 1:11:56Speaker 2: pretty low bar.
- 1:12:00Speaker 3: Okay, I think yes, the fifties housewives was an invention
- 1:12:04Speaker 3: of Hollywood. Prior to that, women were doing a heck
- 1:12:07Speaker 3: of a lot of work. Just just see how Tielder
- 1:12:10Speaker 3: described making something out of the things in his garden.
- 1:12:15Speaker 3: That was the kind of work women were doing prior
- 1:12:17Speaker 3: to the industrialization of food, all right, And there wasn't
- 1:12:22Speaker 3: you know, like if you get your mail by train,
- 1:12:26Speaker 3: you're not going to be able to have a heck
- 1:12:28Speaker 3: of a lot of staples. You have to actually figure
- 1:12:32Speaker 3: out how to get a living off of your environment.
- 1:12:35Speaker 3: And that's what the that's the work that women did.
- 1:12:38Speaker 3: That's why when men had to have a house housekeeper
- 1:12:44Speaker 3: or something or a female presence in their home doing
- 1:12:47Speaker 3: that work in order to allow survival. So again, fifties
- 1:12:53Speaker 3: housewife is an invention of as a post Second Industrial
- 1:12:57Speaker 3: Revolution invention, a post Madison Avenue invention. Like it's it's
- 1:13:02Speaker 3: basically a construct, and it's very very unique in human
- 1:13:07Speaker 3: history that women didn't have to work in order to
- 1:13:10Speaker 3: maintain the survival of their families and their communities, and
- 1:13:14Speaker 3: for whatever reason, that wasn't good enough, you know, And honestly,
- 1:13:19Speaker 3: I would say that does sort of speak in a
- 1:13:22Speaker 3: sort of a dark way, well of women. You took
- 1:13:25Speaker 3: away their job and then they went nuts. And yeah,
- 1:13:32Speaker 3: maybe uh, Devil's Idle Hands or Devil's playground should have
- 1:13:36Speaker 3: considered that before we did that. All right.
- 1:13:39Speaker 2: Well, the other thing I'll say about this, the trad
- 1:13:41Speaker 2: wif thing is like, just like the which thing, it's
- 1:13:44Speaker 2: just an aesthetic. Most of this, the online trad wife stuff,
- 1:13:47Speaker 2: is just that it's just an aesthetic. It's not actually
- 1:13:50Speaker 2: a lifestyle. They're just they're just essentially trying to make
- 1:13:54Speaker 2: other women online jealous. Like that's that's all it is.
- 1:13:58Speaker 2: So yeah, wouldn't I don't look at what you see
- 1:14:01Speaker 2: on the internet that is presenting itself as trad especially
- 1:14:07Speaker 2: if it's coming from women, and take it at face value,
- 1:14:09Speaker 2: because it is most likely nothing but marketing their own
- 1:14:13Speaker 2: like social media clout.
- 1:14:15Speaker 1: That's all it is. It's not it's not real, you know,
- 1:14:18Speaker 1: it's just it's just a skin suit.
- 1:14:21Speaker 2: But anyway, uh, let's uh yeah, let's play more of
- 1:14:25Speaker 2: the video builds her.
- 1:14:27Speaker 6: Own brother to distract her father. So Jason and the
- 1:14:31Speaker 6: Argonauts and now also Medea can leave. Medea and Jason
- 1:14:35Speaker 6: get married. You know, it's it's a love story. Medea
- 1:14:38Speaker 6: is banned from her home country now obviously because she
- 1:14:40Speaker 6: killed her brother and everything. So they take the Golden
- 1:14:43Speaker 6: fleece and they go back. Ioclus is that where Jason
- 1:14:47Speaker 6: is from. King Pelias is like I see that you've
- 1:14:49Speaker 6: brought the Golden fleece, but like, also, no, I'm gonna
- 1:14:52Speaker 6: be king. You're not gonna be the king. And so Medea,
- 1:14:54Speaker 6: in anger, tricks King Pelias's daughters into killing him. And
- 1:15:01Speaker 6: obviously that doesn't make Jason the king because they just
- 1:15:04Speaker 6: murdered the king. So they have to escape. So they
- 1:15:06Speaker 6: escape to Corinth and they're they're not royal, but they're
- 1:15:11Speaker 6: just like happy. It's a love story they have they have.
- 1:15:14Speaker 3: Okay, wait, wait, I'm going to actually blow this whole
- 1:15:18Speaker 3: idea of happiness out of the water. All right, let's
- 1:15:21Speaker 3: set this up from Jason's side, because nobody is actually
- 1:15:24Speaker 3: looking at it from a position of what this guy
- 1:15:28Speaker 3: the situation. This guy isn't Okay, fought a.
- 1:15:31Speaker 2: Bunch of skeletons and a hydra and like like dealt
- 1:15:35Speaker 2: with Poseidon.
- 1:15:36Speaker 1: I watched the movie. That's that's what the Rhodes.
- 1:15:44Speaker 3: You know, I'm actually talking about this whole Hara.
- 1:15:50Speaker 7: Ray Harry house and museum piece. His mind is blown.
- 1:15:56Speaker 2: Actually, it wasn't Colosses of Roads. It was Tallos Tallos
- 1:15:59Speaker 2: the Golum. But anyway, sorry, okay.
- 1:16:03Speaker 3: All right, so no, that was great. But let's look
- 1:16:07Speaker 3: at the whole situation with the marriage between Jason and Media. Okay,
- 1:16:12Speaker 3: so we have a situation that this is a gift
- 1:16:15Speaker 3: from Harah, and I want to remind everybody what happens
- 1:16:20Speaker 3: when you refuse a gift from Harah. She don't like it,
- 1:16:27Speaker 3: and she will she will consider it her her career
- 1:16:32Speaker 3: to end you if you refuse a gift from her.
- 1:16:37Speaker 3: I'm trying to get the.
- 1:16:40Speaker 7: A.
- 1:16:43Speaker 3: I'm trying to get a specific example. But anyway, so
- 1:16:46Speaker 3: you don't refuse gifts from either Aphrodite or hera and
- 1:16:49Speaker 3: if you do, you're in a world of pain. And
- 1:16:52Speaker 3: Jason has to know that because he lives in this world.
- 1:16:55Speaker 3: So here we have media being delivered up and this
- 1:17:00Speaker 3: is again a gift from Hara. If he refuses it.
- 1:17:03Speaker 3: His life is over. Basically, he doesn't become king of
- 1:17:07Speaker 3: his of Ococus and yeah, so and all other calamities
- 1:17:15Speaker 3: befall him. Is that consent?
- 1:17:20Speaker 6: Huh?
- 1:17:21Speaker 3: Like, did he actually consent to this? You marry this
- 1:17:25Speaker 3: woman or your life is destroyed? Is that consent?
- 1:17:29Speaker 1: Like?
- 1:17:29Speaker 3: I know that in ancient Greece they didn't have these
- 1:17:34Speaker 3: kinds of concepts. However, if we're going to apply modern
- 1:17:37Speaker 3: concepts to Medea, we should allow those concepts to be
- 1:17:41Speaker 3: applied to Jason. And the answer is no, he doesn't
- 1:17:44Speaker 3: even have the benefit of love pollen that she does.
- 1:17:48Speaker 3: Like she's been she's had all of her hormones activated
- 1:17:51Speaker 3: towards him. All he has the benefit of is I
- 1:17:53Speaker 3: gotta do this and if I don't, Hara's gonna smite me.
- 1:17:58Speaker 3: That's not consent. So, and again, if we're going to
- 1:18:02Speaker 3: bring in modern readings, let's do it across the board
- 1:18:06Speaker 3: for Jason as well. This is a non consensual marriage
- 1:18:09Speaker 3: on his part. He is forced to marry this woman. Now,
- 1:18:12Speaker 3: maybe she's attractive, but I don't know, Like she's thrown
- 1:18:16Speaker 3: off a lot of red flags. Let's just say you
- 1:18:19Speaker 3: killed your brother so I could escape all right, that's
- 1:18:23Speaker 3: a that's a bit of a red flag there. But anyway,
- 1:18:27Speaker 3: let's get married because if I don't, Harra will smite
- 1:18:29Speaker 3: me or aphrodite. Aphrodite is even worse, right, So let's
- 1:18:34Speaker 3: uh yeah, and then I'll then I'll have sex with
- 1:18:36Speaker 3: you and we'll have children. None of this is consensual
- 1:18:39Speaker 3: on my part because I just don't want to be smoated, right,
- 1:18:42Speaker 3: And nobody considers that because they're just like, oh yeah, Jason,
- 1:18:46Speaker 3: he uh, it is a beautiful princess. Of course he's
- 1:18:49Speaker 3: gonna go for it, not just have her. We wipe
- 1:18:52Speaker 3: the blood off of her brother's blood off her hands.
- 1:18:54Speaker 3: He'll be fine. That's what the way men are, right,
- 1:18:58Speaker 3: And it's like nobody considers that. Nobody imports the modern
- 1:19:03Speaker 3: reading for the male character and all of this. And
- 1:19:07Speaker 3: if you do import the modern reading, what actual loyalty
- 1:19:11Speaker 3: does he have to a marriage that's coerced?
- 1:19:16Speaker 2: Huh?
- 1:19:17Speaker 3: That he has to do in order to win his
- 1:19:20Speaker 3: kingship and not be smited by two very vengeful goddesses.
- 1:19:26Speaker 3: There's a zero consent on his part, zero legitimate consent.
- 1:19:30Speaker 3: I mean, if we walk through it with like the
- 1:19:32Speaker 3: modern eye to like inner monologue. You know, he's probably
- 1:19:39Speaker 3: saying to himself, well, she's a beautiful princess, so of
- 1:19:41Speaker 3: course I consent, but really think about it. No, and again,
- 1:19:46Speaker 3: what loyalty does he owe to something that was coerced
- 1:19:49Speaker 3: out of him? Right? It really changes the reading of
- 1:19:55Speaker 3: media actions, doesn't it.
- 1:19:57Speaker 1: Yeah, Wow, it's almost like it's not that simple.
- 1:20:01Speaker 3: Yeah, it's not that simple. And again, if you want
- 1:20:05Speaker 3: to apply modern standards to the Greek a Greek story,
- 1:20:09Speaker 3: you should apply them both ways. And if when you
- 1:20:13Speaker 3: apply them both ways, I'm afraid Joe Jason's a victim
- 1:20:18Speaker 3: of coercion and as such, his expecting him to stay
- 1:20:26Speaker 3: loyal to someone he was forced to marry and forced
- 1:20:29Speaker 3: to have sex with it just as well. In terms
- 1:20:33Speaker 3: of our ethics, it's it's not ethical like we're you know,
- 1:20:39Speaker 3: we're we're post Christian marriage. We believe both parties should consent,
- 1:20:44Speaker 3: and neither party should consent a threat of death, Well
- 1:20:47Speaker 3: guess what. Guess what the threat that Jason was operating under. Okay,
- 1:20:54Speaker 3: but she doesn't see this like that, and none of
- 1:20:56Speaker 3: her the people watching even considered this reading, none of them,
- 1:21:02Speaker 3: It doesn't even enter their mind isn't that interesting? Okay, Well, what.
- 1:21:10Speaker 7: You have to understand is he is a man. So
- 1:21:12Speaker 7: when a woman approaches him, you know, arms bloodied, spat
- 1:21:18Speaker 7: it all over her and says, I just killed my brother,
- 1:21:21Speaker 7: Now put a baby in me. I mean obviously he's
- 1:21:25Speaker 7: you know, he's going to be all over that. That's
- 1:21:27Speaker 7: just how it works. I mean, the guy. The guy's
- 1:21:30Speaker 7: brain is currently exploding with maths and algebra, thinking is
- 1:21:34Speaker 7: she hot enough to be this crazy?
- 1:21:42Speaker 3: It's funny because it's horrible. Okay, let's keep going. We
- 1:21:45Speaker 3: probably should get a bit further to the things that
- 1:21:48Speaker 3: she said. Huh, and they live there.
- 1:21:52Speaker 6: Fun So this is Medea at the start of the
- 1:21:54Speaker 6: play by Euripides. She's kind of an immigrant. She no
- 1:21:59Speaker 6: longer has a home. She's made a lot of enemies,
- 1:22:02Speaker 6: but she has dedicated herself and their family and the
- 1:22:07Speaker 6: play about euribities. They have two sons, and she has
- 1:22:11Speaker 6: kind of given up everything, including her homeland, to be
- 1:22:15Speaker 6: with this man and have these children.
- 1:22:18Speaker 3: And of course, okay, uh, she's made a lot of
- 1:22:26Speaker 3: enemies and it's almost like, oh, she's a victim of
- 1:22:28Speaker 3: being Yeah, but consider everything she's been doing, I don't know,
- 1:22:34Speaker 3: I think she's earned those enemies. Okay. Sorry.
- 1:22:41Speaker 6: The play opens with Jason having left Medea to marry Glocky,
- 1:22:49Speaker 6: the daughter of King Creon. That's that's how the play opens.
- 1:22:53Speaker 6: And this is of course bad because Jason, in the
- 1:22:57Speaker 6: eyes of the gods, including Hara and the law of
- 1:23:00Speaker 6: the land, he's married to Medea. And you can't just
- 1:23:04Speaker 6: marry someone else media is famous.
- 1:23:08Speaker 1: What about what about when you're famous? No, I think,
- 1:23:12Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know, I don't I don't know
- 1:23:14Speaker 1: that it's the idea of well, I don't know. It's
- 1:23:19Speaker 1: ancient Greece, it's not modern. But okay, let's just keep.
- 1:23:22Speaker 3: Going, like, I just want to point out that this
- 1:23:24Speaker 3: is not the behavior of a man who's happy. I
- 1:23:29Speaker 3: just want to say, no, no, and uh, the whole
- 1:23:34Speaker 3: idea of being coerced into it, because it's a gift
- 1:23:37Speaker 3: from Hara and uh an Aphrodite, you know, and now
- 1:23:42Speaker 3: and now he's going to get his Uh. The Aphrodite
- 1:23:46Speaker 3: and Harara are going to show him through Medea what
- 1:23:50Speaker 3: happens when you when you have when you deny one
- 1:23:55Speaker 3: of their gifts, shall we say, And it's going to
- 1:23:58Speaker 3: be horrifying, Okay, let's keep going.
- 1:24:03Speaker 6: Beslie a witch and a murderer. So King Creon, worried
- 1:24:07Speaker 6: about his daughter who's going to marry Jason, is like, media,
- 1:24:11Speaker 6: you have to get out of here, and Medea convinces
- 1:24:14Speaker 6: King Creon like, I totally will. I'll totally go, but
- 1:24:17Speaker 6: you have to give me one day to like sort
- 1:24:19Speaker 6: out everything. And media uses this one.
- 1:24:23Speaker 3: You are making ned Stark's mistake. You are making the
- 1:24:29Speaker 3: exact mistake that ned Stark made. Wait, wait, maybe ned
- 1:24:34Speaker 3: Stark is making the exact state mistake Creon made. King
- 1:24:37Speaker 3: Creon made considering the antiquity. You guys know what I'm
- 1:24:43Speaker 3: talking about, right. Ned Gate went to Searcy or whatever
- 1:24:46Speaker 3: her name is Kersey. Yeah, yeah, he went to her
- 1:24:54Speaker 3: and said, you have like go go, get your your
- 1:24:58Speaker 3: incest children out of the city. I'm gonna tell your
- 1:25:02Speaker 3: husband what you've been up to. And then she took
- 1:25:06Speaker 3: that opportunity to kill him instead. That's your first mistake.
- 1:25:13Speaker 3: Just tell her to leave, don't give her a day. Okay,
- 1:25:16Speaker 3: let's see what horrible thing media gets up to, you.
- 1:25:19Speaker 6: Know, plot the murder of Glaucy King Creon and also
- 1:25:23Speaker 6: her children that she has with Jason.
- 1:25:26Speaker 3: Wow, I guess, uh, if you're gonna do it, you
- 1:25:29Speaker 3: better go beg right. You know, at this point, it's
- 1:25:34Speaker 3: it's no longer like Medea is coerced by Aphrodite or Hara.
- 1:25:38Speaker 3: At what point does her actual violation come into this? Right?
- 1:25:43Speaker 3: And why don't we look at it at this point
- 1:25:45Speaker 3: of like, Hara and Aphrodite are basically delivering Jason of
- 1:25:48Speaker 3: the augernauts are argonauts up to her, you know, sands
- 1:25:52Speaker 3: his consent. He doesn't have a choice in the matter,
- 1:25:56Speaker 3: and now that he sort of wants to leave the
- 1:25:59Speaker 3: arrange that he never had a choice in the matter,
- 1:26:02Speaker 3: She's going full scorched earth on everybody. Seems like, uh,
- 1:26:08Speaker 3: like his his betrayal of the oath presumably is I
- 1:26:14Speaker 3: want to get out of this relationship. Her betrayal is
- 1:26:17Speaker 3: I'm gonna kill everybody and make your life a living
- 1:26:20Speaker 3: fucking hell if you try. These two are not.
- 1:26:28Speaker 7: Potato.
- 1:26:30Speaker 3: These two are not the same kind of reaction here.
- 1:26:34Speaker 3: This is not the same reaction. And honestly, like, couldn't
- 1:26:38Speaker 3: this have been solved if Aphrodite also shot Jason? They couldn't.
- 1:26:45Speaker 3: Couldn't they just be like, Okay, well, let's do both
- 1:26:47Speaker 3: of them and then everything will be fine, right. I mean,
- 1:26:50Speaker 3: maybe they'll be a little bit Bonnie and Clyde with
- 1:26:52Speaker 3: the killing people, but but they'll at least want to
- 1:26:57Speaker 3: both want to be in the relationship. Do they consider
- 1:26:59Speaker 3: that or is it just they're they're just capricious and
- 1:27:02Speaker 3: awful like this, both Hara and Aphroditi. The answer is
- 1:27:05Speaker 3: they are. They are both capricious and awful, right, and
- 1:27:12Speaker 3: this this disaster again, like Jason simply saying, Okay, I
- 1:27:17Speaker 3: went out of this relationship I was coerced into, and
- 1:27:20Speaker 3: she's like, no, no, you do that and you will suffer.
- 1:27:26Speaker 3: I'm like, and she's the one who's the uh the
- 1:27:31Speaker 3: family annihilator? Is is our heroine? Is it? M? I
- 1:27:36Speaker 3: just love feminist thinking, Okay, let's keep going.
- 1:27:40Speaker 6: To destroy Jason. She tricks Jason into thinking she's like
- 1:27:44Speaker 6: totally cool with this. She sends her children to this wedding,
- 1:27:48Speaker 6: you know, while their father does a bigamy with this
- 1:27:52Speaker 6: tainted dress, and Tiara Glouky is like twenty years old
- 1:27:56Speaker 6: to Jason's fifty, and she just likes the things.
- 1:28:00Speaker 3: Obviously, well obviously this solution into this is to kill
- 1:28:06Speaker 3: her also, is okay? Is this twenty twenty, Like is
- 1:28:11Speaker 3: he actually fifty or just like thirty eight or something.
- 1:28:18Speaker 1: I don't know.
- 1:28:21Speaker 3: I feel like she's talked about what do you do?
- 1:28:23Speaker 1: What are you doing?
- 1:28:25Speaker 3: I feel like she's exaggerating the age difference to make
- 1:28:27Speaker 3: it worse. Keep going.
- 1:28:32Speaker 7: We are in the current era where a two year
- 1:28:35Speaker 7: or where a two year age difference makes you a pedophile,
- 1:28:38Speaker 7: you know, because that's how things work these days. What
- 1:28:42Speaker 7: do you think when she's twenty eight? Oh my god, outrage.
- 1:28:48Speaker 7: I don't know where this has come from in the
- 1:28:50Speaker 7: recent time. It's really weird.
- 1:28:55Speaker 3: Hm hmm. So maybe two decades, like two decades. So
- 1:29:00Speaker 3: if he starts as a young man and young was
- 1:29:02Speaker 3: really young, then as young as like sixteen, he could
- 1:29:07Speaker 3: be in his mid thirties, right, that's I guess she
- 1:29:13Speaker 3: had to go reach for the worst kind of because
- 1:29:16Speaker 3: it isn't actually specified, So she's just reaching for the worst. Fifties, you, guys, fifties.
- 1:29:21Speaker 3: Everybody knows that a fifty year old man is just
- 1:29:23Speaker 3: an old, disgusting prune. Let your lecherous, horrible No, he's
- 1:29:29Speaker 3: probably in his late thirties, early forties, right, But you
- 1:29:35Speaker 3: can't say that because you want to make it as
- 1:29:37Speaker 3: bad as possible. Okay, keep going.
- 1:29:43Speaker 6: It's on fire. The children have already been taken back
- 1:29:45Speaker 6: to Medea's house. She murders them, and then Jason shows
- 1:29:49Speaker 6: up and he's like, oh man, she flies away at
- 1:29:51Speaker 6: the end.
- 1:29:52Speaker 3: And no, he's not like, oh man, well Jesus Christ, lady.
- 1:30:02Speaker 3: He's like, at one point he's begging her to let
- 1:30:05Speaker 3: him touch his kids one last time. This, this is
- 1:30:10Speaker 3: the most manipulative mischaracterization of this story. Oh why why
- 1:30:16Speaker 3: am I surprised?
- 1:30:19Speaker 7: Yeah? This is literally like the start of his downfall,
- 1:30:21Speaker 7: where it just like completely destroys his life and he
- 1:30:24Speaker 7: ends up being drunk and miserable on a beach and
- 1:30:26Speaker 7: crushed under his ship. This is kind of where it
- 1:30:28Speaker 7: all begins, like h life ruining for him. He doesn't
- 1:30:33Speaker 7: just go, oh, no, I guess I'm gonna have to
- 1:30:36Speaker 7: I don't know, find some new people to hang out with. No,
- 1:30:38Speaker 7: this like ruins his life completely. He never recovers from this.
- 1:30:46Speaker 3: Yeah, and this is how she characterizes it. And again
- 1:30:50Speaker 3: I want to point out this is coercion, Like, if
- 1:30:53Speaker 3: we're gonna apply modern standards to this, Jason had no
- 1:30:57Speaker 3: choice either, marrying media or having sex with her because
- 1:31:01Speaker 3: she was a gift from Aphrodite and Hara. And if you,
- 1:31:05Speaker 3: if you deny a gift from Aphrodite and Hara, you
- 1:31:09Speaker 3: are ruined. Right, your life is over. As we see
- 1:31:13Speaker 3: now that he's denied the gift, he's basically said, you
- 1:31:16Speaker 3: know what, I would like to have a relationship. I
- 1:31:19Speaker 3: had to say in I'm gonna leave this one, go
- 1:31:21Speaker 3: to a relationship I actually chose. Okay, that's that's what
- 1:31:26Speaker 3: I'm gonna do. That's his response to all of this
- 1:31:31Speaker 3: coercion by Harah and Aphrodite. And if his response is nowhere,
- 1:31:35Speaker 3: I'm just gonna kill your children. And then as a
- 1:31:39Speaker 3: result of that, uh, he his wife is ruined. Like again,
- 1:31:45Speaker 3: at what point is Jason responsible for any of this?
- 1:31:51Speaker 3: Like he prot like again, you refuse a gift from
- 1:31:55Speaker 3: HARAA and Aphrodite, your life is ruined. As we see
- 1:31:58Speaker 3: proven once he refused the gift, his life was ruined.
- 1:32:02Speaker 3: So there was no consent even initially, no real consent
- 1:32:08Speaker 3: even initially to Medea in the relationship with her. So
- 1:32:13Speaker 3: we're just watching like the two goddesses horribly destroy some
- 1:32:17Speaker 3: man's life. Yes, that is Yep, that that's pretty much
- 1:32:23Speaker 3: Greek tragedy. Actually is it? Does this count as tragedy?
- 1:32:29Speaker 3: Is there a fatal flaw here aside from Jason being like,
- 1:32:33Speaker 3: you know, I want to assert some autonomy over my
- 1:32:35Speaker 3: own body. Is that the fatal flaw that he had? No? No,
- 1:32:40Speaker 3: if you're a man, your body is property of Hera
- 1:32:44Speaker 3: or Aphrodite or Medea. And if you don't submit to
- 1:32:49Speaker 3: all of these women, your life is ruined. Wow, that's
- 1:32:52Speaker 3: some boy history rhymes. Okay, let's uh, let's.
- 1:33:00Speaker 7: He goes out and how much this thing destroys his life.
- 1:33:04Speaker 7: I have found myself wondering whether because like being crushed
- 1:33:08Speaker 7: by your own ship, weirdly specific thing to have happened
- 1:33:14Speaker 7: to you. It does make me wonder if there was
- 1:33:16Speaker 7: supposed to be some sort of subtext to it, that
- 1:33:19Speaker 7: it might have actually been him killing himself, like intentionally
- 1:33:23Speaker 7: sort of unanchoring his ship so that it would fall
- 1:33:26Speaker 7: in such a way that it would do it do
- 1:33:28Speaker 7: him because it's like, ah, this is my ship. It's
- 1:33:31Speaker 7: like the only thing I've still got left. I can
- 1:33:33Speaker 7: go out on my own terms using the only thing
- 1:33:35Speaker 7: I still have left in my life, the only thing
- 1:33:37Speaker 7: I can control anymore. I did. I do find myself
- 1:33:40Speaker 7: wondering if that is supposed to be an implication there
- 1:33:43Speaker 7: as opposed to just some sort of slightly darkly comedic
- 1:33:46Speaker 7: thing that happens, because you know, if he's a sailor
- 1:33:50Speaker 7: of however many decade or whatever that he is, he
- 1:33:53Speaker 7: would know if his ship was you know, not ship
- 1:33:57Speaker 7: shape as it were, and the mass was just going
- 1:33:59Speaker 7: to randomly fall over. Yeah, I do, I do wonder somewhat.
- 1:34:05Speaker 3: Yeah, okay. So his reaction, he has direct grief over
- 1:34:11Speaker 3: the children. He calls them dearest, asks to touch their
- 1:34:14Speaker 3: bodies one last time, asks to bury them. He grieves
- 1:34:17Speaker 3: the son, specifically names them, mourns their lost future, the
- 1:34:20Speaker 3: line that ends with them, the inheritance that goes nowhere.
- 1:34:23Speaker 3: The grief is genuine, and the play renders it as genuine.
- 1:34:26Speaker 3: He weeps, He calls on Zeus to witness what has
- 1:34:29Speaker 3: been done. So he is grieves his sons, and it's
- 1:34:39Speaker 3: the most extended of his speeches in the play. It's
- 1:34:45Speaker 3: it's actually really sounds very tragic, and she just glosses
- 1:34:48Speaker 3: over it as oh, oh, well, I guess that's a
- 1:34:52Speaker 3: complication removed and again like this this these children exist.
- 1:34:58Speaker 3: If feminists actually extend did their phenomenology is it? Is
- 1:35:03Speaker 3: that the right word about rape to men. Jason was raped.
- 1:35:08Speaker 3: He was raped by Medea unwittingly. Like even in the
- 1:35:12Speaker 3: beginning you could say this was unwitting on her part.
- 1:35:15Speaker 3: She didn't realize like the level of coercion that's involved here,
- 1:35:19Speaker 3: Like you either have sex with this woman or your
- 1:35:21Speaker 3: life is ruined, or you get killed, right, or just
- 1:35:25Speaker 3: everything bad you could possibly imagine happens to you, that's coercion.
- 1:35:29Speaker 3: And by the feminist definition, that would be rape. So
- 1:35:32Speaker 3: he is mourning the children that he had with a
- 1:35:36Speaker 3: woman as a result of being forced to have sex
- 1:35:38Speaker 3: with her, forced to marry her, and essentially raped, right,
- 1:35:46Speaker 3: and this woman is going as is glossing over that
- 1:35:50Speaker 3: like it's meaningless. And yeah, I know I'm interpreting this
- 1:35:55Speaker 3: from a modern lens, but we're interpreting all of this
- 1:35:57Speaker 3: from a modern lens. And actually, you know, maybe the
- 1:36:00Speaker 3: ancient Greeks sort of understood this too. They had arranged marriages.
- 1:36:07Speaker 3: They knew that it wasn't like the consent of the
- 1:36:10Speaker 3: man was considered particularly important when issues of gods and
- 1:36:15Speaker 3: lineage were involved, okay, and now the one good thing
- 1:36:21Speaker 3: that came out of this horrible situation has been killed,
- 1:36:26Speaker 3: and he's sitting on a beach crying, and this woman
- 1:36:30Speaker 3: is saying, what did she Let's go back?
- 1:36:31Speaker 6: What?
- 1:36:32Speaker 3: How did she characterize this? Again? I'm just curious. Let's
- 1:36:35Speaker 3: the Can you go back, Brian or is that too difficult?
- 1:36:40Speaker 6: Just lights on fire? Her father grabs her in lights
- 1:36:43Speaker 6: on fire. The children have already been taken back to
- 1:36:46Speaker 6: Medea's house. She murders them, and then Jason shows up
- 1:36:50Speaker 6: and he's like, oh man, she flies away at the
- 1:36:52Speaker 6: end and he.
- 1:36:52Speaker 3: God, damn you you you are a did you? Can't
- 1:36:58Speaker 3: you both leave that? Aw man? That's how she characterizes it.
- 1:37:07Speaker 3: That's how she characterizes this entire sequence, and what has
- 1:37:10Speaker 3: happened to Jason? Aw man. I what a callous, deceitful
- 1:37:23Speaker 3: way of characterizing it?
- 1:37:30Speaker 1: Shall I continue?
- 1:37:32Speaker 3: Yeah?
- 1:37:32Speaker 1: Sure, okay.
- 1:37:36Speaker 6: It's the thing that pulls the sun, and there's dragons,
- 1:37:40Speaker 6: and she has the bodies of her two children and
- 1:37:43Speaker 6: she's like Seeya and she buries her sons in the
- 1:37:47Speaker 6: land of hera. So yeah, like, I'm not even joking, euryp.
- 1:37:52Speaker 6: It is as like me reading as an adult woman
- 1:37:54Speaker 6: felt very feminist to me, The discussion they were having
- 1:37:59Speaker 6: felt very modern.
- 1:38:00Speaker 3: Yeah, actually, I would agree that is very feminist. Looking
- 1:38:05Speaker 3: at a man crying in grief over his children that
- 1:38:08Speaker 3: he had as a result of a marriage that was
- 1:38:11Speaker 3: coerced and sex that was coerced on coerced from him,
- 1:38:17Speaker 3: so as a result of his coercion. And again, feminist
- 1:38:22Speaker 3: would term that rape a marriage children that were a
- 1:38:27Speaker 3: result of him being raped, and he's just watched their
- 1:38:31Speaker 3: mother murder them and take them away from him, and
- 1:38:35Speaker 3: he's crying on a beach, and this feminist characterizes that
- 1:38:38Speaker 3: as Oh, man, yeah, that's very feminist. This entire thing
- 1:38:45Speaker 3: that I'm watching is incredibly feminist, completely incapable of understanding humanity.
- 1:38:53Speaker 6: Okay, we hear from Jason, who's like, because in media,
- 1:38:58Speaker 6: I'm doing this for you. I am gonna marry a
- 1:39:01Speaker 6: princess and I'm gonna move away, and I'm gonna be
- 1:39:03Speaker 6: rich and wealthy, and i'm gonna be a king, and
- 1:39:04Speaker 6: I'm gonna have children with the princess, and your sons
- 1:39:07Speaker 6: will have royal stepbrothers. That's gonna be good for them.
- 1:39:11Speaker 6: I'm doing this for you actually, and the way Euripides
- 1:39:14Speaker 6: writes Medea, responding, this just feels very modern. Of course,
- 1:39:20Speaker 6: let me read to you from this translation, which is
- 1:39:23Speaker 6: oh Penguin Classics translated with an introduction by Philip Villicott.
- 1:39:29Speaker 6: I liked this one. I don't know if there's like
- 1:39:30Speaker 6: a better one. Okay, this is Medea talking about her
- 1:39:34Speaker 6: plight still more, A foreign woman coming among new laws,
- 1:39:38Speaker 6: new customs, needs the skill of magic to find out
- 1:39:40Speaker 6: what her home could not teach her how to treat
- 1:39:42Speaker 6: the man whose bed she shares. And if in this
- 1:39:44Speaker 6: exacting toil, we are successful and our husband does not
- 1:39:47Speaker 6: struggle under the marriage yoke, our life is enviable. Otherwise
- 1:39:51Speaker 6: death is better. If a man grows tired of the
- 1:39:54Speaker 6: company at home, he can go out and find a
- 1:39:56Speaker 6: cure for his tediousness. We wives are forced to look
- 1:39:59Speaker 6: to one man only, and they will tell us we
- 1:40:01Speaker 6: at home live free from danger. They go out to
- 1:40:04Speaker 6: battle fools. I'd rather stand three times in front of
- 1:40:07Speaker 6: line than bear one child. But the same arguments did
- 1:40:10Speaker 6: not apply to you and me. You have this city,
- 1:40:13Speaker 6: you have your father's home, the enjoyment of your life,
- 1:40:15Speaker 6: and your friend's company. I am alone. I have no
- 1:40:18Speaker 6: city now, my husband insults me. I was taken as
- 1:40:21Speaker 6: plunder from a land as the earth's edge. I have
- 1:40:23Speaker 6: no mother, brother, nor any of my own blood wonder.
- 1:40:28Speaker 3: Oh yeah, this is very feminist because she's completely gaslighting
- 1:40:31Speaker 3: the actual situation. You weren't taken as plunder. You killed
- 1:40:35Speaker 3: your freaking brother in order to escape with this man.
- 1:40:41Speaker 3: Like what, okay, continue.
- 1:40:45Speaker 6: Remedy so good? I also like this.
- 1:40:50Speaker 3: Yeah, of course it's good to you.
- 1:40:53Speaker 7: The way she complains about how she can still be
- 1:40:55Speaker 7: sad despite living in the highest best society that has
- 1:40:59Speaker 7: ever exist historically up until this point in time, and
- 1:41:02Speaker 7: how that's men's fault that she can still be depressed
- 1:41:04Speaker 7: about things. Read that bit, go on, do it, do it?
- 1:41:08Speaker 1: Do it?
- 1:41:08Speaker 7: It's funny.
- 1:41:11Speaker 3: Yeah, And why should Jason even have to give her
- 1:41:13Speaker 3: an excuse? He never consented to the freaking marriage in
- 1:41:16Speaker 3: the first place. In any realistic sense, it just sounds
- 1:41:22Speaker 3: like a guy being like, okay, I don't you know,
- 1:41:25Speaker 3: trying to say it's me, it's not you, it's me, right,
- 1:41:30Speaker 3: And no doubt he's like he's been saddled with this gorgon,
- 1:41:36Speaker 3: which again he didn't consent to and now he's trying
- 1:41:40Speaker 3: to extricate himself from her, and he's trying to frame
- 1:41:43Speaker 3: it in a way that appeals to her narcissism, and
- 1:41:48Speaker 3: we are reading this as he is the problem. And
- 1:41:53Speaker 3: again this whole reading completely flips what he realized. He
- 1:41:57Speaker 3: didn't consent to this woman. He didn't consent to any
- 1:42:01Speaker 3: of this. He was forced into it, because all the
- 1:42:06Speaker 3: Greeks know what happens when you refuse a gift from Hara,
- 1:42:10Speaker 3: or refuse a gift from Aphrodite, you are double plus fucked.
- 1:42:15Speaker 3: Your life is over. So he had no choice in
- 1:42:20Speaker 3: the matter. And now he's trying to extricate himself and
- 1:42:23Speaker 3: have some autonomy over the issue. And it's really rich
- 1:42:26Speaker 3: that she talks about a man toiling under the yoke
- 1:42:28Speaker 3: of marriage. Oh, it's actually a man toiling under the
- 1:42:33Speaker 3: yoke of you raping him, Medea, and no sympathy at all, Like, yeah,
- 1:42:39Speaker 3: I feel for her. She was forced into this by
- 1:42:41Speaker 3: Aphrodite and Harah, although again I don't know why these
- 1:42:46Speaker 3: two women, these two goddesses, couldn't have considered also, you know,
- 1:42:52Speaker 3: pointing the arrow at Jason. So there's a little less
- 1:42:56Speaker 3: turmoil in the arrangement. But I'm guessing that's because us.
- 1:43:01Speaker 3: That's the way God's and goddesses roll. They don't give
- 1:43:04Speaker 3: a crap. Their gifts are curses. So so Jason is
- 1:43:12Speaker 3: saddled non consensually with this gorgon of a woman who's
- 1:43:15Speaker 3: killed her brother, she's killed crow like a bunch of
- 1:43:19Speaker 3: kings and their children, and he's like, Okay, how do
- 1:43:24Speaker 3: I extricate myself from this relationship I didn't consent to
- 1:43:27Speaker 3: in the first place. And he's like, okay, well, I'll
- 1:43:30Speaker 3: tell her that it's it's for her benefit, because yeah,
- 1:43:35Speaker 3: maybe that will that will calm her. Nope, nope, And
- 1:43:42Speaker 3: then she has the audacity to talk about a woman
- 1:43:45Speaker 3: or sort a man, or women being if they're set
- 1:43:49Speaker 3: aside by their husbands. Okay, let's keep going.
- 1:43:58Speaker 7: Once again. I do in myself wondering to how much
- 1:44:02Speaker 7: the nature of women was known and understood by like
- 1:44:05Speaker 7: the ancient Greeks. As I said at the beginning, you know,
- 1:44:09Speaker 7: with the women being more likely to war and violence
- 1:44:13Speaker 7: and flipping that on its head for the sake of
- 1:44:15Speaker 7: being fun. It makes me wonder if the Greeks had
- 1:44:19Speaker 7: the sort of a similar view that we have now
- 1:44:20Speaker 7: where it's social media is call of duty for women.
- 1:44:23Speaker 7: So you don't kill fake people and get them messed up.
- 1:44:26Speaker 7: You do it to real people because it's fun. And
- 1:44:28Speaker 7: whether ancient Greeks were basically like well, when you're a goddess,
- 1:44:32Speaker 7: humanity is just the sims for you, and that's just
- 1:44:37Speaker 7: what the goddess is liked to do. Now, get in
- 1:44:41Speaker 7: that swimming pool so I can sell the ladder.
- 1:44:47Speaker 2: So I got a couple of superchows, and I just
- 1:44:50Speaker 2: want to let you know I got anyway, I got
- 1:44:53Speaker 2: a couple superchows are super chats rather from Albernata Retro
- 1:44:58Speaker 2: gives us five dollars Canadian and say, when does Jason
- 1:45:01Speaker 2: get his goalie mask? Oh wait, that's in the sequel
- 1:45:04Speaker 2: number three to be exact.
- 1:45:06Speaker 1: Oh brother, this guy stays.
- 1:45:10Speaker 2: And then I got another one from albert Nata Retro
- 1:45:12Speaker 2: for five dollars Canadian, who says, wait, threat of death
- 1:45:15Speaker 2: is bad way to take the romance out of it. Alison, sheesh. Okay,
- 1:45:22Speaker 2: let's keep going then, so you're banished.
- 1:45:28Speaker 6: I will not desert a friend. I have carefully considered
- 1:45:32Speaker 6: to see that you and the children are not sent
- 1:45:34Speaker 6: away with an empty purse are unprovided you no doubt
- 1:45:37Speaker 6: hate me, but I could never bear ill will towards you.
- 1:45:41Speaker 6: Your videes is so good at writing that guy. That guy,
- 1:45:44Speaker 6: that guy.
- 1:45:45Speaker 3: You know, the guy who's the guy who was coerced
- 1:45:48Speaker 3: into the relationship and is trying to exit without having,
- 1:45:51Speaker 3: you know, exploding the landmine of the woman who kills
- 1:45:54Speaker 3: people that get in their way like that guy. Yeah, lady,
- 1:46:00Speaker 3: that guy, huh, that ripe victim trying to assert bodily autonomy. Again,
- 1:46:06Speaker 3: she doesn't even realize what she's saying. She has no
- 1:46:10Speaker 3: clue what she's saying, none whatsoever, because it has never
- 1:46:16Speaker 3: entered her mind to look at the situation from Jason's
- 1:46:20Speaker 3: point of view. She just assumes that he consented to Medea, like,
- 1:46:26Speaker 3: because she's got that real archaic kind of attitude towards
- 1:46:31Speaker 3: male sexuality. You just present them an attractive princess who's
- 1:46:34Speaker 3: murdered people, and they're like, yeah, I'm all up that,
- 1:46:38Speaker 3: I'm all up in that. I have that. That's all
- 1:46:40Speaker 3: the consent you need, right, lady. It's probably her generation too.
- 1:46:44Speaker 3: They have a problem with that gen X or gen
- 1:46:48Speaker 3: Z gen X. Women like me, we understand that men
- 1:46:52Speaker 3: cannot consent to sex. Jen Z women do not understand
- 1:46:56Speaker 3: that the attitude towards men has gotten worse over the
- 1:47:01Speaker 3: last couple decades. Right, So you know, gen X women,
- 1:47:06Speaker 3: we know that we have to get consent from our
- 1:47:08Speaker 3: sexual partners. Gen Z women, Nah, it's a hit and
- 1:47:11Speaker 3: miss with them. They're not aware of that, which is
- 1:47:16Speaker 3: why they use weapons like two to three times more
- 1:47:19Speaker 3: than any generation or men to rape their victims, their
- 1:47:27Speaker 3: sexual partners. Like it's it's actually getting ridiculous now, how
- 1:47:32Speaker 3: sexually violent this generation of women is. And by ridiculous,
- 1:47:37Speaker 3: I mean horrifying. But yeah, she's her attitude is right
- 1:47:41Speaker 3: in line with that, right in line with that inability
- 1:47:44Speaker 3: to recognize the fact that men have the right to
- 1:47:46Speaker 3: consent to sex. Two, And that when the alternative to
- 1:47:50Speaker 3: Jason to consenting to media is earning the ire of
- 1:47:55Speaker 3: two very powerful goddesses who will make it their life's
- 1:47:57Speaker 3: work to end his that's not consent. All right. We
- 1:48:04Speaker 3: can if tield your aunts to add something to that.
- 1:48:11Speaker 7: Now, and I'm good. I'm just going to remind people, Yes,
- 1:48:15Speaker 7: that is a thing. It's called the millennial shift. To
- 1:48:17Speaker 7: look it up. It's very illuminating And interestingly, there's another
- 1:48:22Speaker 7: concurrent study to that whose name I cannot remember either
- 1:48:26Speaker 7: the title nor the author. But the opinions of women
- 1:48:30Speaker 7: in society are all increasing except for one. So we
- 1:48:34Speaker 7: think women are smarter than ever. We think they're, you know,
- 1:48:37Speaker 7: just better than ever. They're wiser than ever. They're doing
- 1:48:40Speaker 7: all of these things. And yet the only metric by
- 1:48:42Speaker 7: which opinions of women have decreased is in agency. We
- 1:48:47Speaker 7: think women are as a society just better than ever.
- 1:48:50Speaker 1: They are.
- 1:48:50Speaker 7: They're they're wonderful things, but they can't do anything. There
- 1:48:58Speaker 7: was just an interesting attitude so.
- 1:49:01Speaker 1: Attracts. All I'm saying is that tracks.
- 1:49:04Speaker 7: Yep. And as it turns out, when the thoughts of
- 1:49:08Speaker 7: women's agency decreases, the rapiness increases. Huh interesting, old.
- 1:49:19Speaker 6: And he's like, I'm doing this for us, like and
- 1:49:22Speaker 6: then Medea responds, of course, you filthy coward. If I
- 1:49:27Speaker 6: knew any worse name for such unmanliness, I'd use it.
- 1:49:31Speaker 6: So you've come, you my worst enemy, come to me.
- 1:49:34Speaker 6: Oh it's not courage. This looking friends in the face
- 1:49:37Speaker 6: after betraying them. It's not even audacity. It's a disease.
- 1:49:40Speaker 6: The worst a man can have pure shamelessness. However, it
- 1:49:45Speaker 6: is as well, you came to say. What I have
- 1:49:46Speaker 6: to say will ease my heart to hear it said,
- 1:49:48Speaker 6: will make you WinCE. Oh this is so good. I
- 1:49:52Speaker 6: love her. I love Medea. She has this like righteous anger.
- 1:49:57Speaker 6: Why is Jason allowed to blow up her life and
- 1:50:01Speaker 6: her family? And then he has the audacity to be like,
- 1:50:05Speaker 6: I'm doing this for you, you're my friends, Like why
- 1:50:08Speaker 6: are you so mad? What are you so mad about?
- 1:50:11Speaker 1: Ah?
- 1:50:11Speaker 6: I love that. She just says, no, she she doesn't
- 1:50:15Speaker 6: have to accept it. She's not going to. She will
- 1:50:18Speaker 6: exact a revenge so severe that Jason will never recover.
- 1:50:24Speaker 6: In the play, she really struggles with murdering her children,
- 1:50:28Speaker 6: like you know, obviously, uh.
- 1:50:31Speaker 3: She plays obviously. Is this is this woman's fans still
- 1:50:39Speaker 3: in the vertical chat? Have they said anything further? Out
- 1:50:45Speaker 3: of curiosity?
- 1:50:46Speaker 1: What was the question?
- 1:50:48Speaker 3: Are these is this woman's fans in the vertical chat?
- 1:50:51Speaker 3: Have they said anything further?
- 1:50:52Speaker 1: Ah?
- 1:50:54Speaker 2: No, they've been pretty quiet. Let me see.
- 1:50:59Speaker 3: That.
- 1:50:59Speaker 7: They one, they don't need to be here anymore.
- 1:51:01Speaker 1: Yeah, they've done their They've done the damage.
- 1:51:03Speaker 2: They laughed afterwards. Nobody's saying anything, So it's all right.
- 1:51:08Speaker 2: It is what it is.
- 1:51:10Speaker 1: Mm hmm yeah, and.
- 1:51:13Speaker 7: Was protected and you've commented on this video, thus boosting
- 1:51:17Speaker 7: it in the algorithm. Good job, guys, you did it.
- 1:51:21Speaker 3: Yeah, all right, So they okay. So we know that
- 1:51:29Speaker 3: Jason didn't consent to the marriage or sex with Medea,
- 1:51:33Speaker 3: all right, And but yet this is okay, and he
- 1:51:40Speaker 3: is trying to exit the relationship with Medeo. That's the
- 1:51:43Speaker 3: relationship he didn't consent to, was coerced into, even though
- 1:51:46Speaker 3: the play never even really mentions it. Maybe it's just
- 1:51:49Speaker 3: intended to be inferred. Maybe everybody watching this knows how
- 1:51:54Speaker 3: horrific this is, and he does. When he's trying to
- 1:51:58Speaker 3: exit the relationship, he frames it in a way that
- 1:52:02Speaker 3: this is for your benefit, Medida, because he's dealing with
- 1:52:06Speaker 3: a woman who kills people who get in their way, right,
- 1:52:10Speaker 3: And this creator has reframed all of this to make
- 1:52:14Speaker 3: him that guy, right and to laud what Medea is doing,
- 1:52:19Speaker 3: sort of like they seem to be in love with
- 1:52:21Speaker 3: the gone girl woman. All right. So first of all,
- 1:52:24Speaker 3: she stripped the divine coercion. The opening of the video
- 1:52:28Speaker 3: skips Harro and Aphrodite's arrangement entirely. She mentions Medea's shot
- 1:52:34Speaker 3: with an arrow by Aphrodite and arrows and falls in love,
- 1:52:37Speaker 3: treats it as a romantic complication and moves on Harrah's
- 1:52:41Speaker 3: coersion of Jason. The divine threat of divine destruction if
- 1:52:44Speaker 3: he refuses the favor does not appear at all. She
- 1:52:49Speaker 3: doesn't even considers that point of view. That's how she's
- 1:52:52Speaker 3: building up Medea as a feminist hero. She completely omits
- 1:53:00Speaker 3: the situation for the man, the coercion of the man,
- 1:53:04Speaker 3: the fact that he doesn't have is any kind of
- 1:53:06Speaker 3: autonomous choice in the matter, the arrangement that the foundation
- 1:53:11Speaker 3: gets coded as background mythological flavor. So when we have
- 1:53:15Speaker 3: to consider the situation for the man, that's just mythology,
- 1:53:18Speaker 3: that's just Greek stuff, right, rather than these the engineered
- 1:53:21Speaker 3: situation both parties were trapped in. Once that's gone, the
- 1:53:25Speaker 3: story becomes Jason met a woman and married her. That's
- 1:53:28Speaker 3: not what happened. Jason was coerced into marrying this woman,
- 1:53:34Speaker 3: which is the modern frame for free relationships, which isn't
- 1:53:38Speaker 3: what happened here. Okay. The only person, even if it's
- 1:53:43Speaker 3: coerced that Medea was shot by the arrow of love, right,
- 1:53:49Speaker 3: the only person here, who's getting what they want from
- 1:53:52Speaker 3: this relationship? Aside from Jason not imploding his life, which
- 1:53:56Speaker 3: I guess you could frame him getting what he wants,
- 1:53:59Speaker 3: he's not dying is media and everything downstream of that
- 1:54:05Speaker 3: gets evaluated as if the marriage was freely chosen by both,
- 1:54:08Speaker 3: which it wasn't. So her entire framing is omitting information
- 1:54:18Speaker 3: ordered in order to construct Medea as the wronged party,
- 1:54:23Speaker 3: when in fact she's not. She's not the wronged party.
- 1:54:28Speaker 3: Jason is the wronged party, and Jason is the wrong
- 1:54:31Speaker 3: party when you realize he didn't consent to any of
- 1:54:34Speaker 3: this in the first place, which she can't really conceive
- 1:54:39Speaker 3: of because I don't. She's got this regressive view of
- 1:54:44Speaker 3: men that their consent to marriage and sex is irrelevant.
- 1:54:51Speaker 3: Right if this was if we reverse this and Jason
- 1:54:56Speaker 3: was the one who was shot by the arrow and
- 1:54:59Speaker 3: Medea was the one who uh basically consented because if
- 1:55:05Speaker 3: she refused Harah's gift, she'd be destroyed. This woman would
- 1:55:11Speaker 3: realize that it was a coerced situation, but she doesn't
- 1:55:16Speaker 3: because she doesn't understand that men have a right to
- 1:55:20Speaker 3: bodily autonomy. She thinks that it doesn't even enter her
- 1:55:25Speaker 3: understanding of the world men having a right to bodily autonomy. Oh,
- 1:55:31Speaker 3: I never, and then she had. And from that essential
- 1:55:38Speaker 3: misunderstanding comes everything else. And this is why I'm always
- 1:55:45Speaker 3: harping on the sexual assault statistics and the fact that
- 1:55:52Speaker 3: the ones that are the most accurate, they actually capture
- 1:55:58Speaker 3: the sexual abuse of men, and they are in a
- 1:56:02Speaker 3: timeframe that doesn't reduce false memories, right, they find parity.
- 1:56:10Speaker 3: So out there in the real world, women are engaging
- 1:56:13Speaker 3: in sexual coersion at the same rates as men. That's
- 1:56:18Speaker 3: the most likely conclusion from the stats, from the most
- 1:56:20Speaker 3: accurate stats. That's why I keep pushing this because everything
- 1:56:26Speaker 3: rests The entire edifice of feminist bullshit rests on the
- 1:56:31Speaker 3: idea that rape is something that men do right, and
- 1:56:36Speaker 3: also women who have been patriarchally tainted or some crap.
- 1:56:40Speaker 3: They always have their hand waves for female rapists. Once
- 1:56:44Speaker 3: they're forced to acknowledge that women engage in sexual violence
- 1:56:49Speaker 3: at approximately the same rate as men, their entire belief
- 1:56:54Speaker 3: system falls. None of what she's saying makes any sense.
- 1:57:02Speaker 3: If this woman was capable of conceiving the fact that
- 1:57:04Speaker 3: Jason was coerced, and in fact, I want to point
- 1:57:10Speaker 3: out that men being coerced by goddesses is not something
- 1:57:15Speaker 3: that that was a foreign to Greek storytelling. Consider Odysseus,
- 1:57:23Speaker 3: and I think it was Seirce that coerced her him.
- 1:57:27Speaker 3: He was forced to pursue a sexual relationship either circ
- 1:57:33Speaker 3: or the other one Calypso, And again the modern reading
- 1:57:39Speaker 3: is just her, her, her, what a slut.
- 1:57:41Speaker 8: Right.
- 1:57:43Speaker 3: Meanwhile, every night he's crying for his family. Okay, I
- 1:57:48Speaker 3: think the Greeks may have had awareness of this, and
- 1:57:53Speaker 3: it was part of the tradition of their tragedy, that
- 1:57:58Speaker 3: the fact that men often did have a choice themselves,
- 1:58:03Speaker 3: So they may have been completely aware of what they
- 1:58:05Speaker 3: were writing with Medea and Jason, and boy, when you
- 1:58:08Speaker 3: look at it from those terms, Medea is a terrible
- 1:58:13Speaker 3: fucking human being, because yes, she didn't choose to fall
- 1:58:17Speaker 3: in love with Jason, but she apparently chooses to murder
- 1:58:21Speaker 3: everybody in her path, including her own children. She didn't
- 1:58:29Speaker 3: have to choose that. I mean, maybe they could have
- 1:58:34Speaker 3: had a conversation and Jayson, she could have presented some
- 1:58:38Speaker 3: kind of reasonableness, because I think at the point where
- 1:58:42Speaker 3: we're at the story here, we can fairly well ascertain
- 1:58:45Speaker 3: that media is not a reasonable human being. Maybe if
- 1:58:49Speaker 3: at some point Jason got the impression she was reasonable,
- 1:58:53Speaker 3: he could have explained this and said, you know, I
- 1:58:56Speaker 3: didn't get an arrow, I didn't get a choice. I
- 1:59:00Speaker 3: would like a choice. Instead, he's forced to frame things
- 1:59:06Speaker 3: in terms of her benefit because she's a sociopathic narcissist
- 1:59:11Speaker 3: who kills people who get and he gets in her way.
- 1:59:14Speaker 3: She's practically serial killer femina stake on everyone.
- 1:59:20Speaker 2: Okay, uh, I gotta go. Oh, I sent you a
- 1:59:27Speaker 2: message about that earlier, but yeah it's three Oh, I'm sorry.
- 1:59:34Speaker 3: Okay, can we give til deer a moment to respond
- 1:59:37Speaker 3: if you want.
- 1:59:38Speaker 7: Yeah, I'm just gonna say, you know, for all feminists
- 1:59:42Speaker 7: to talk about how you know, unrequited love doesn't exist,
- 1:59:46Speaker 7: you know, because women don't owe men anything, etcetera, and
- 1:59:51Speaker 7: men should just not have feelings for women. Well, why
- 1:59:55Speaker 7: why didn't Medea just you know, choose to be an
- 1:59:57Speaker 7: in cell? Why why didn't you just say I have
- 2:00:00Speaker 7: all these feelings, I'm not going to act on them.
- 2:00:02Speaker 7: Why you know why she doesn't He doesn't want me.
- 2:00:07Speaker 7: I'm not entitled to anything. I guess I should just
- 2:00:10Speaker 7: you know, sit down, shut up, go and hide in
- 2:00:13Speaker 7: my room and play video games or whatever it is
- 2:00:16Speaker 7: the people did in ancient Greece. You know, why why
- 2:00:18Speaker 7: didn't she do that? Why did she uh go and
- 2:00:22Speaker 7: shoot up the school as it were?
- 2:00:24Speaker 1: Hmm interesting, great question.
- 2:00:27Speaker 7: Yes, Medea the woman within cell rage.
- 2:00:31Speaker 3: Yeah, perfect perfect feminist serial killer with in cell rage,
- 2:00:38Speaker 3: overly attached girlfriend, murders everybody in her way, including her
- 2:00:41Speaker 3: own children. Yeah, for a perfect feminist icon. But yeah,
- 2:00:46Speaker 3: like I think the ultimate conclusion is, like, this is
- 2:00:48Speaker 3: a horrible situation created by two goddesses. Medea decided to
- 2:00:54Speaker 3: be in a horrible situation and make everything that much worse.
- 2:00:58Speaker 3: That was on her feminist icon. Everyone not Mary Carrie,
- 2:01:05Speaker 3: Not Mary Carrie, not Lysistrata, not Lucretia. No, a woman
- 2:01:11Speaker 3: who effectively raped a man. I mean she didn't know,
- 2:01:15Speaker 3: probably didn't consider that, and then killed his children that
- 2:01:19Speaker 3: he had with her as a result of that, And yeah,
- 2:01:25Speaker 3: made everything worse as bad as she possibly could. That's
- 2:01:31Speaker 3: the feminist icon.
- 2:01:35Speaker 1: Yay.
- 2:01:37Speaker 2: And it's actually right at the end of this this
- 2:01:40Speaker 2: time code this section, So that worked out too.
- 2:01:46Speaker 3: I mean she must have known, right, you know, Like
- 2:01:49Speaker 3: Jason is favored by that all of this is happening
- 2:01:52Speaker 3: because of Hara and and Aphrodite, or maybe she didn't right,
- 2:01:58Speaker 3: maybe he should have told her. Although again consider consider
- 2:02:04Speaker 3: how she responds to things getting into her way, and
- 2:02:07Speaker 3: imagine that conversation Jason watching this woman just plow through,
- 2:02:13Speaker 3: just murder her way through everything, and be like, how
- 2:02:16Speaker 3: the hell how do I deal with this without losing
- 2:02:19Speaker 3: my life? Good Lord, this woman's a curse. This is
- 2:02:24Speaker 3: Harah and Aphrodite's curse on Jason. Okay, all right, So

- 2:02:34Speaker 3: want to send a message, you want to tell me

- 2:03:14Speaker 1: Tilda, Yeah, thanks for coming on. Tielder are right.
- 2:03:19Speaker 7: I do find myself wondering how Medea's actually being honest
- 2:03:24Speaker 7: and upfront with Jason. Would have gone have a woman
- 2:03:29Speaker 7: approaching you and just saying, Jason, the gods have cursed
- 2:03:32Speaker 7: me with a rapid white on for you. This is
- 2:03:35Speaker 7: going to be a problem.
- 2:03:41Speaker 3: What no woman said ever?
- 2:03:48Speaker 2: Well, I got a super chat from Albert Nata and
- 2:03:51Speaker 2: then I'm gonna wrap it up there. But we can
- 2:03:54Speaker 2: like get into the miss injury or read get into
- 2:03:57Speaker 2: the modern media media section where she talks about I
- 2:04:00Speaker 2: guess how this applies today as how she describes it
- 2:04:05Speaker 2: an adult woman. That's like how she describes herself when
- 2:04:08Speaker 2: she's about to say something feminist.
- 2:04:10Speaker 1: So I don't know what if that's like the new
- 2:04:12Speaker 1: Land acknowledgment or what as.
- 2:04:15Speaker 2: An adult woman, But anyway, Albert Nita retro gives us
- 2:04:20Speaker 2: five dollars Canadian and says, technically nobody chooses to be
- 2:04:23Speaker 2: an in cel because it's involuntarily celibate.
- 2:04:26Speaker 1: It's more of a social condition. Thank you for that.
- 2:04:29Speaker 7: All right, So it was just to make a point
- 2:04:32Speaker 7: because I thought it was funny.
- 2:04:36Speaker 3: Thank you for the clarification.
- 2:04:38Speaker 2: Yeah, no, we all know that in cel literally means
- 2:04:42Speaker 2: involuntarily celibate. I knew that you were making a joke,
- 2:04:47Speaker 2: and I think that most of us do. But you
