- 2:47Speaker 1: please go to feed the Badger dot com slash support
- 2:50Speaker 1: and do that so that we can continue to bring
- 2:52Speaker 1: you this very delectable content. I see manifestel as attempting
- 2:56Speaker 1: a smile. An attempt was made, but you know, it
- 3:04Speaker 1: definitely stops somewhere below her nose.
- 3:07Speaker 2: But there was this comedian that was very popular when
- 3:11Speaker 2: when we were younger, Brett Butler, who did a sketch
- 3:16Speaker 2: talking about this lady she ran into that that looked
- 3:20Speaker 2: at her furrowed brow one day and said, I see
- 3:25Speaker 2: if I can do this, you know, you can get
- 3:28Speaker 2: that snipped and like she she made this face, but
- 3:31Speaker 2: it was I always wonder when somebody makes an expression
- 3:37Speaker 2: in there there's no is she really smiling or is
- 3:41Speaker 2: she faking it?
- 3:42Speaker 1: Obviously she's faking it because it's not it's not hitting
- 3:47Speaker 1: her eyes. Yeah yeah, and that's uh, that's why it
- 3:51Speaker 1: looks so creepy.
- 3:52Speaker 2: Well, or else she's really really stoned, because I have
- 3:57Speaker 2: seen stoner's smile like that when they think something so
- 3:59Speaker 2: like and they just can't get their eyes to catch up.
- 4:05Speaker 2: Actually you do.
- 4:06Speaker 1: Have you ever watched The Never Ending Story? I mean,
- 4:08Speaker 1: this is really the racing you were thinking of, the
- 4:11Speaker 1: racing snail a little bit, got a little bit of
- 4:14Speaker 1: racing snail in their eyes, not catching up with the mouth.
- 4:18Speaker 2: Yeah, but it is so so that's that's the theory.
- 4:22Speaker 2: Either she doesn't mean it or she's very stoned.
- 4:25Speaker 3: Mmm.
- 4:26Speaker 1: So everybody can thank Richard Beer because he made the
- 4:29Speaker 1: request for some more Manifestel. But of course, you know,
- 4:32Speaker 1: Manifestel is sort of like putting the getting the bulk
- 4:37Speaker 1: of a lot of women again. She has a quarter
- 4:41Speaker 1: of a million subscribers. It's i If anything, some of
- 4:45Speaker 1: the larger female dating strategy streamers are even even worse,
- 4:52Speaker 1: like Shira Oh my god, oh good lord. So, uh yeah,
- 4:58Speaker 1: we're back with Manifestel, possibly because you know, sometimes she
- 5:02Speaker 1: has things that are interesting. I don't want to say
- 5:05Speaker 1: that she says interesting things, but sometimes the things that
- 5:09Speaker 1: come up out of her mouth are really revealing. And
- 5:13Speaker 1: so we're gonna we're gonna take another look at her.
- 5:15Speaker 1: All right, So, Brian, do we want to start with
- 5:18Speaker 1: the first time code or do you have anything you
- 5:20Speaker 1: would like to do?
- 5:23Speaker 4: Run away, be done with this, good night, everybody. No,
- 5:28Speaker 4: I mean, I'll I'll just play the introduction. So this
- 5:32Speaker 4: video was called lazy girl Jobs. I'm just a girl
- 5:35Speaker 4: and quiet quitting mm hmm. And let's get let's get
- 5:39Speaker 4: into the beginning. I think you know how this starts off.
- 5:42Speaker 3: So, you know, welcome to the Spoiled Curly support Group
- 5:47Speaker 3: podcast where we talk about how to get that bag
- 5:49Speaker 3: while also securing your own bag. I'm your hostel, and
- 5:51Speaker 3: let's get into it.
- 5:52Speaker 1: I just like this episode we point something out mm hmm.
- 5:56Speaker 1: Every single person, every single woman who listens to her
- 6:00Speaker 1: vice is never going to get anywhere near any bag
- 6:05Speaker 1: but her own. I think, well, well, but then again,
- 6:08Speaker 1: there's a whole bunch of a whole bunch of men
- 6:11Speaker 1: out there who are but even them, like the truly,
- 6:14Speaker 1: the truly uber simp men they themselves have now I
- 6:20Speaker 1: think competition with women. So you know, I don't know,
- 6:24Speaker 1: I think that.
- 6:25Speaker 4: Uh.
- 6:25Speaker 1: I think I think even if you want to be
- 6:28Speaker 1: a spoilt girly Manifestella really isn't showing you the golden
- 6:34Speaker 1: path to doing that.
- 6:36Speaker 2: But I've run into enough FDS chicks some of them
- 6:40Speaker 2: are bags. I don't I really don't think like it.
- 6:45Speaker 2: It's almost like looking to a uh not a rock star,
- 6:52Speaker 2: but something close to a rock star to tell you
- 6:56Speaker 2: how to have a career in music, like there has
- 6:59Speaker 2: been some one who has had some good fortune and
- 7:04Speaker 2: jokes aside about you know, she doesn't look like she's
- 7:06Speaker 2: genuine at smiling, and she's messed up her eyebrows, but
- 7:11Speaker 2: she's got enough symmetry in her face to be considered
- 7:15Speaker 2: highly attractive, right, And that probably doesn't describe most of
- 7:22Speaker 2: the gals that I've actually had the misfortune of seeing
- 7:29Speaker 2: from FDS. They're usually much more middle aged and bitter looking. Honestly, Yeah,
- 7:38Speaker 2: she does have the ability.
- 7:39Speaker 1: She's got a good hand with makeup now, and uh yeah,
- 7:44Speaker 1: so I imagine and that again, you're right, this is
- 7:47Speaker 1: she's probably representing the top one percent of her own audience,
- 7:52Speaker 1: which doesn't necessarily mean the top one percent of women.
- 7:57Speaker 1: There's probably the bottom one percent of the top twenty
- 8:00Speaker 1: percent of women. But anyway, let's let's push on. Let's
- 8:03Speaker 1: let's get away from necessarily her success her looks. Let's
- 8:07Speaker 1: get into what she actually has to say.
- 8:10Speaker 4: You want to jump ahead then, or you want to
- 8:12Speaker 4: hear the intro.
- 8:13Speaker 1: Oh, we'll hear the intro.
- 8:14Speaker 5: He's only gotten.
- 8:15Speaker 4: Okay, let's let's listen to what she's what she's proposing.
- 8:21Speaker 3: Talking about lazy girl jobs, pink collar jobs, the I'm
- 8:25Speaker 3: just a girl trend, the good, the bad, and the
- 8:29Speaker 3: nu once. Especially with the lazy girl job trend. I've
- 8:32Speaker 3: been hearing it for a while now, and while I
- 8:35Speaker 3: do see the appeal, there's certain things about it that
- 8:38Speaker 3: we need to be careful with on a personal and
- 8:40Speaker 3: societal level, and we're going to talk about those things today.
- 8:44Speaker 3: Now we have a lot to cover. But before we
- 8:46Speaker 3: get into it, I used to hit thele like subsprien.
- 8:47Speaker 5: Okay, let me just jump ahead. She does all right.
- 8:53Speaker 4: Yeah, she also has like a like a sponsor or whatever.
- 9:00Speaker 5: Shipping her sponsor. Well, I mean, you know, going chat yo,
- 9:06Speaker 5: what's up? Okay, it looks like the internet's coming back.
- 9:11Speaker 5: It looks like it dipped a little bit.
- 9:18Speaker 1: Again.
- 9:20Speaker 4: I did I did I drop? I mean, you both
- 9:22Speaker 4: left the room, but I wasn't sure.
- 9:25Speaker 2: It dropped each other.
- 9:28Speaker 1: We could see each other, so I think you might
- 9:30Speaker 1: have dropped, Brian. But regardless, you know, technical difficulties with
- 9:33Speaker 1: the Badgers. Let's keep going. I'm we're just trying to
- 9:38Speaker 1: do too much or or like could be but anyway,
- 9:41Speaker 1: let's keep going.
- 9:42Speaker 3: All right, real social media.
- 9:45Speaker 6: Trend the Internet, the Internet, and it was like it's
- 9:53Speaker 6: coming back on now, okay, you guys are Yeah, I'm back.
- 9:57Speaker 5: I I didn't do anything like it just sort.
- 9:59Speaker 2: Of just dropped us from Yeah it's split the chat.
- 10:04Speaker 2: That's weird.
- 10:06Speaker 5: Yeah weird. Yeah, we're back.
- 10:09Speaker 4: I mean like, I'm like, I'm running it, and it's
- 10:14Speaker 4: like I I see that the frames are going fine,
- 10:18Speaker 4: ten thousand killobytes per second are streaming, and then it'll
- 10:23Speaker 4: like drop to zero suddenly, like when I'm watching the video.
- 10:27Speaker 4: I don't know if it's because of that, and then
- 10:29Speaker 4: it'll come back up. So I'm just gonna watch it
- 10:33Speaker 4: and see if it happens again. So last thing she
- 10:36Speaker 4: was saying is that lazy girl jobs, another way of
- 10:41Speaker 4: describing them, is essentially work life balance, and she's explained
- 10:44Speaker 4: that lazy girl jobs are have come, they have good
- 10:47Speaker 4: they basically pay well, but don't ask a lot of women.
- 10:50Speaker 5: And that's really what it is. That's really what it is.
- 10:53Speaker 1: Okay, let's get going.
- 10:54Speaker 5: It's like a day in the life at Google or whatever.
- 10:56Speaker 5: It's like those jobs, right, So all right, let's play some.
- 11:03Speaker 3: Volume of output and a positive work environment and culture
- 11:07Speaker 3: that promotes slow living and prioritize employee well being. And
- 11:11Speaker 3: some examples of these jobs are virtual assistants, social media managers,
- 11:16Speaker 3: freelance writers, online tutors, and graphic designers.
- 11:21Speaker 1: And manifestel It's got some really bad news. A lot
- 11:28Speaker 1: of those jobs are probably not going to exist in
- 11:30Speaker 1: five years. And also, what the hell is she wanting? Yeah,
- 11:34Speaker 1: what the hell is she talking about graphic designer being
- 11:37Speaker 1: an easy job? What kind of graphic designers do you?
- 11:39Speaker 1: Are you talking about? Graphic design is an incredibly high
- 11:42Speaker 1: pressure job unless you're you're actually talking about you took
- 11:47Speaker 1: a college course in design principles, you did one like semester,
- 11:54Speaker 1: and now you call yourself a graphic designer because graphic
- 11:58Speaker 1: design is not an not a design a job where
- 12:02Speaker 1: it's good life work life balance, like most of most
- 12:05Speaker 1: of the professional arts. I don't know where she's getting
- 12:09Speaker 1: her information, but most of the professional arts, like architects,
- 12:13Speaker 1: graphic designers, interior, that's hard work and it's now being
- 12:18Speaker 1: pressed by AI in a lot of cases. So what
- 12:22Speaker 1: the heck is she on? Honestly, I would I don't
- 12:26Speaker 1: think that these so called spoilt girly jobs, which, first
- 12:30Speaker 1: of all, what makes her think that she's or any
- 12:33Speaker 1: of the women watching this are entitled jobs like that?
- 12:37Speaker 1: Those are jobs where you're basically exploiting your employer or alternatively,
- 12:42Speaker 1: your employer has a whole bunch of blackrock DEI money
- 12:45Speaker 1: and can just throw it around like water. Well, do
- 12:49Speaker 1: you really think that that's going to continue to exist
- 12:51Speaker 1: as AI takes over and as the cultural climate changes
- 12:56Speaker 1: against wasting money like this? Like seriously anyway, but I
- 13:03Speaker 1: think she's flawed in her reasoning, But let's continue.
- 13:07Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, she presumes that the market for these
- 13:10Speaker 4: jobs are just something that will always exist and so yeah,
- 13:14Speaker 4: and it's also something that like I guess every woman
- 13:17Speaker 4: should have, like like there should just be a position
- 13:21Speaker 4: open for all women.
- 13:22Speaker 2: I don't know, I know, I'm just got in my head.
- 13:25Speaker 2: I'm going back through the list of jobs that I've
- 13:27Speaker 2: done because I have that habit. I'm not really into
- 13:30Speaker 2: the whole lazy girl job thing. I do usually two jobs,
- 13:34Speaker 2: often three, and I have been I've been a newspaper photographer.
- 13:41Speaker 2: I've done layout and design in the back of the newspaper.
- 13:45Speaker 2: I've even done paper stuffing in the basement of the
- 13:48Speaker 2: newspaper where you put the ads in. I've done a
- 13:53Speaker 2: little bit of writing professionally, not very much. But in
- 13:58Speaker 2: addition to all of that, and retail and being a
- 14:02Speaker 2: nurse's aide and working in a bakery and working for
- 14:07Speaker 2: a short time at radio shack a few other places,
- 14:11Speaker 2: I was a security guard. That's probably the closest thing
- 14:15Speaker 2: to a lazy job that I've ever had, because you
- 14:17Speaker 2: have large segments of downtime in that job and you're
- 14:23Speaker 2: really not doing anything but occupying space. And it's not
- 14:27Speaker 2: always like that, Like there's sometimes where you're on guard
- 14:31Speaker 2: the whole time, and then there's other assignments you can
- 14:35Speaker 2: get where you're basically just sitting in a guard shack
- 14:38Speaker 2: waiting for people to come by that you have to
- 14:41Speaker 2: verify or tell to go away, and you don't even
- 14:45Speaker 2: have to make them leave, you call the police. So
- 14:49Speaker 2: she doesn't know what a lazy job is, and it
- 14:53Speaker 2: might be that she's never had a real job. I
- 14:57Speaker 2: just I kind of get the impression, and like, because
- 15:01Speaker 2: if you have any other job, your employer expects you
- 15:04Speaker 2: to produce results, and usually if there's a product or
- 15:07Speaker 2: a service being done. Your employer expects that to be
- 15:11Speaker 2: consistently done, worked on throughout your entire shift or throughout
- 15:17Speaker 2: your entire workday. However, that goes and a lot of
- 15:20Speaker 2: times there's overtime, you know. So this idea of lazy
- 15:26Speaker 2: girl jobs. You don't hear very much about lazy guy jobs, right, No, because.
- 15:32Speaker 5: Well that's not allowed.
- 15:34Speaker 2: When men go to work, they're expected to work, and
- 15:36Speaker 2: if they don't work, they get fired. Right When women
- 15:39Speaker 2: go to work, they want to sit at a desk
- 15:42Speaker 2: and paint their fingernails, like the stereotype, you know, the
- 15:45Speaker 2: personal assistant secretary sitting out in front of her boss's
- 15:48Speaker 2: office that won't answer the phone. And that's part of
- 15:53Speaker 2: the reason that women get paid less, because women look
- 15:57Speaker 2: for things like lazy girl jobs, or they try to
- 16:00Speaker 2: turn jobs into lazy girl jobs that aren't.
- 16:03Speaker 1: Hm, well, I was going to say something. I think also,
- 16:08Speaker 1: there's something inherently different in the way men and women work,
- 16:11Speaker 1: and this is something we discovered during Koof of course,
- 16:14Speaker 1: they framed it in terms of women being oppressed, but
- 16:18Speaker 1: it was interesting what it revealed. Men focus very very
- 16:24Speaker 1: like pinpoint focus on their job. So even when they're
- 16:27Speaker 1: at home. You know, they start their job at nine,
- 16:30Speaker 1: they focus on their job until they clock out at five,
- 16:35Speaker 1: and they are doing their job. And what they found
- 16:39Speaker 1: is that women, by way of contrast, when they do
- 16:43Speaker 1: the job, they're actually so called multitasking, which is basically
- 16:48Speaker 1: taking the time that they're being paid and doing their
- 16:51Speaker 1: own chores. Now, the way that they framed it was
- 16:54Speaker 1: that women do this because they know they have to
- 16:56Speaker 1: do it after work anyway. But still that's that's not
- 17:00Speaker 1: actually an excuse, right, you should be when you're on
- 17:04Speaker 1: the clock, working and doing your work. So that's what
- 17:08Speaker 1: they found, and so there's I think there's an inherent
- 17:12Speaker 1: difference between men and women. Women do not focus as
- 17:17Speaker 1: absolutely on the job as men do, whereas men very
- 17:22Speaker 1: much focus on the job that they're doing. And so
- 17:25Speaker 1: I think there's also an inherent difference. Men actually may
- 17:28Speaker 1: be drawn to jobs that are more require more intensive
- 17:32Speaker 1: focus and it would be considered a lazy job.
- 17:36Speaker 2: Yeah, you also find that they're more likely to look
- 17:41Speaker 2: for jobs that based on how much the job pays,
- 17:45Speaker 2: because they're having to support their themselves and possibly a family,
- 17:49Speaker 2: whereas women don't even always have to support themselves much
- 17:53Speaker 2: less a family, so there's more tolerance for it, and
- 17:57Speaker 2: there's more of the behavior among females, and then they
- 18:01Speaker 2: have a different attitude toward what constitutes work too. And
- 18:08Speaker 2: there's there's a study one of my one of my
- 18:13Speaker 2: ex connections posts this on a regular basis that showed
- 18:18Speaker 2: that when it comes to housework, men and women will
- 18:22Speaker 2: report the same task that takes the same amount of
- 18:25Speaker 2: time differently. If it is, say laundry, where you put
- 18:29Speaker 2: the laundry in the washer, you set the machine doing
- 18:32Speaker 2: the task, and then you walk away from the machine,
- 18:35Speaker 2: and an hour later it's done, and you come back
- 18:38Speaker 2: and you get the laundry out, you transfer to the dryer.
- 18:41Speaker 2: Women will count that as an hour doing laundry. Men
- 18:43Speaker 2: will count that as however long it took to get
- 18:45Speaker 2: the machine started. And while that's going on, they'll go
- 18:51Speaker 2: do their dishes, or they'll do you know, like if
- 18:53Speaker 2: there's laundry to be folded, or they'll do vacuuming or
- 18:55Speaker 2: other tasks. And women don't necessarily they'll sit there and
- 19:00Speaker 2: watch TV, play on their phone, you know, do their hobby,
- 19:03Speaker 2: read a book, and as each task gets completed, you know,
- 19:09Speaker 2: then they go on to the next task, and so
- 19:11Speaker 2: they'll count something, you know, like a, oh, I did
- 19:13Speaker 2: eight hours worth of work, and men might count that
- 19:17Speaker 2: as an hour to two hours worth of work. So
- 19:21Speaker 2: when we see those surveys where women say they do
- 19:24Speaker 2: more housework than men, they're talking about the same housework.
- 19:28Speaker 2: They're just counting all of their downtime as how you work.
- 19:33Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, it's really uh. And instead of actually trying
- 19:40Speaker 1: to teach women to overcome issues like this, issues of
- 19:45Speaker 1: how men and women view work differently, and also issues
- 19:49Speaker 1: of women's greater tendency towards focusing on on fairness quote unquote,
- 19:58Speaker 1: instead of actually addressing we just indulge it to our
- 20:02Speaker 1: own detriment. But yeah, so she probably has no idea
- 20:07Speaker 1: what real work is. And I mean, I'm saying that
- 20:11Speaker 1: as somebody who has only really found success as an
- 20:14Speaker 1: entrepreneur just because I guess I'm just so weird. But yeah, Like,
- 20:23Speaker 1: but I was actually thinking about this a while back,
- 20:27Speaker 1: and I realized when I was watching myself that I
- 20:32Speaker 1: honestly have to say, Okay, I'm going to take this
- 20:35Speaker 1: as an hour off because otherwise I am you know,
- 20:40Speaker 1: doing something, trying to research something, or doing something on
- 20:44Speaker 1: Twitter responding to people, which I've now turned into content,
- 20:48Speaker 1: or I am working on a podcast or so, or
- 20:53Speaker 1: working on my writing. So it's like my day from
- 20:57Speaker 1: the time I get up to the time I go
- 20:58Speaker 1: to bed, I'm always doing a task. And it's because
- 21:03Speaker 1: once I stop, I feel like I am a failure,
- 21:07Speaker 1: which is probably not the best way to approach life.
- 21:10Speaker 1: But yeah, so anyway, like one on the one hand, yeah,
- 21:16Speaker 1: I'm an entrepreneur. I sort of set my own hours,
- 21:18Speaker 1: but it's almost become like, well, setting your own hours
- 21:21Speaker 1: is what you get to decide.
- 21:22Speaker 2: To do first. And yeah, people people think when you're
- 21:28Speaker 2: in charge you get away with a lot of stuff,
- 21:29Speaker 2: but really it means you work harder.
- 21:32Speaker 1: Well, if you're doing it right anyway, Yeah, okay, so
- 21:37Speaker 1: let us let us do a bit more there. Brian
- 21:39Speaker 1: all Right.
- 21:42Speaker 3: Prize that lazy girl jobs are quickly gaining popularity and
- 21:47Speaker 3: acceptance in the modern day work landscape. In fact, the
- 21:51Speaker 3: hashtag lazy girl job has over eighteen million hits on
- 21:55Speaker 3: TikTok alone. Although the term lazy girl job is new,
- 21:59Speaker 3: these types of low effort jobs have existed way before
- 22:02Speaker 3: the Internet decided to put a label on it. Lynn Attier,
- 22:05Speaker 3: founder and CEO of recruiting from Bimana Shares as a recruiter,
- 22:10Speaker 3: all right.
- 22:11Speaker 4: I think I'm going to jump ahead so because she's
- 22:13Speaker 4: just explaining what they are, but I want to jump
- 22:17Speaker 4: to lazy girl jobs as a path to financial independence
- 22:23Speaker 4: at about it.
- 22:24Speaker 1: I want to te minutes, okay, But before we do that,
- 22:27Speaker 1: I just want to put something out there because I've
- 22:29Speaker 1: been sort of I have a whole bunch of meeting
- 22:31Speaker 1: articles and things that I follow and one of the
- 22:35Speaker 1: things that I followed is a job recruiter and he
- 22:40Speaker 1: has been describing the landscape, and I don't think that honestly,
- 22:46Speaker 1: I think that employers at this point, if they if
- 22:50Speaker 1: this woman who is some kind of consultant for the
- 22:53Speaker 1: Lazy job, if employers actually know that she's represented you,
- 23:00Speaker 1: I'd imagine they'd avoid you at this point, because the
- 23:03Speaker 1: work landscape now is getting harder and harder for job seekers,
- 23:09Speaker 1: and it's to the point where apparently it's making even
- 23:12Speaker 1: the people who are interviewing job seekers stressed out, because yeah,
- 23:18Speaker 1: like the whole dating landscape is now almost a reflect
- 23:23Speaker 1: like the job seeking landscape is almost a reflection of
- 23:26Speaker 1: the dating landscape. Now it's it's just as as difficult.
- 23:31Speaker 2: We had a couple of weird things going on that
- 23:36Speaker 2: are contributing to that. There's a significant difference, like I
- 23:44Speaker 2: would even call it a distance in work ethic between
- 23:48Speaker 2: baby boomers and Gen X, and then between Gen X
- 23:53Speaker 2: and millennials, and then again between millennials and Zoomers. And
- 23:57Speaker 2: you have people from each generation that are abnormal. So
- 24:02Speaker 2: they're either they either have a far better worth work
- 24:04Speaker 2: ethic or a far worse work ethics. So they may
- 24:07Speaker 2: be like as if they were in the generation before
- 24:10Speaker 2: theirs or the generation after theirs. But it's pretty consistent
- 24:16Speaker 2: that each generation when they when they start a job,
- 24:21Speaker 2: they are not doing the work that the generation before
- 24:24Speaker 2: them did. And they're not they don't necessarily understand how.
- 24:30Speaker 2: And and it's as simple as when we've talked about
- 24:35Speaker 2: it on on HBr talk. I give the example of
- 24:38Speaker 2: the girl that I worked with that didn't know how
- 24:41Speaker 2: to use the mop and the mop bucket, and she
- 24:45Speaker 2: thought that not knowing how to do things would get
- 24:47Speaker 2: her out of tasks, so she really leaned into not
- 24:52Speaker 2: knowing how to do it. And when people try to
- 24:54Speaker 2: explain explain it to her, She really leaned into not
- 24:58Speaker 2: getting it to the degree that I got frustrated and
- 25:01Speaker 2: told her she just wasn't moving the rolling bucket fast
- 25:04Speaker 2: enough so that she yanked it back and splashed her
- 25:07Speaker 2: pants with it, because I got really annoyed. But I
- 25:11Speaker 2: mean she did it to the degree that she took
- 25:14Speaker 2: a sink drain plug and a zink stopper and put
- 25:18Speaker 2: it plug up and basket down and said, why isn't
- 25:21Speaker 2: the water staying in the sink. You see that a
- 25:24Speaker 2: lot with this intergenerational difference, and it varies in how
- 25:30Speaker 2: bad it is.
- 25:31Speaker 1: But it's a big.
- 25:34Speaker 2: It causes quite a bit, I should say, a frustration
- 25:37Speaker 2: between co workers, in between managers and coworkers. And then
- 25:42Speaker 2: as that's going on, you also have this dei thing
- 25:46Speaker 2: happening where if an individual is being dumped on, like
- 25:52Speaker 2: a coworker is dumping their work on another coworker, and
- 25:56Speaker 2: everybody knows it's happening, the complaint cannot be made. The
- 26:00Speaker 2: manager cannot do the criticism, the coworker cannot be guided
- 26:04Speaker 2: to do their job. If they're female, if they're a minority,
- 26:09Speaker 2: if there's some combination thereof if they got a special religion,
- 26:12Speaker 2: if they make a big deal about being LGBTQ, if
- 26:16Speaker 2: they make a big deal about being atheist, any of that.
- 26:19Speaker 2: It's like, Oh, you're only picking on me because demographic
- 26:23Speaker 2: and it has nothing to do with the fact that
- 26:25Speaker 2: I've done no tasks for the last two weeks and
- 26:27Speaker 2: my coworker is complaining about it, and it's being upheld
- 26:31Speaker 2: by human resources. So managers are getting disciplined for telling
- 26:37Speaker 2: people to do their jobs, and colleagues are getting disciplined
- 26:41Speaker 2: for expecting to not have to do their coworkers' jobs.
- 26:44Speaker 2: And that dynamic between generations and between demographics and everything,
- 26:50Speaker 2: it's making it to the point where managers are starting
- 26:53Speaker 2: to look at people when they're trying to hire as
- 26:57Speaker 2: is this going to be somebody that I can mint
- 27:00Speaker 2: or or am I going to get in trouble for
- 27:03Speaker 2: mentoring this person? Does this person seem to be coming
- 27:06Speaker 2: in with already some knowledge of the job, how much
- 27:09Speaker 2: training do they need? Or am I going to be
- 27:11Speaker 2: able to coast and this person's going to come in
- 27:14Speaker 2: and do the work? And I've seen that for the
- 27:17Speaker 2: last that last fifteen years in the various places that
- 27:21Speaker 2: I've worked, and it hasn't just been like the low
- 27:24Speaker 2: rung retail and stuff like if I've seen that as
- 27:26Speaker 2: a college professor. I've seen that in journalism. I've seen
- 27:31Speaker 2: that in retail, I've seen it in healthcare. It's everywhere. So, yeah,
- 27:36Speaker 2: the whole lazy thing isn't helping.
- 27:39Speaker 1: No, it's it's actually going to be very destructive. And
- 27:43Speaker 1: the longer that people have this as a as pursue
- 27:47Speaker 1: this as an option, the worse everything gets economically because
- 27:53Speaker 1: we need Like, honestly, the wealth people's wealth is not
- 27:57Speaker 1: based on how much money they have, but how productive
- 28:00Speaker 1: their neighbor is, you know, if you think about it.
- 28:04Speaker 1: All right, so let's let's watch a little bit morse.
- 28:07Speaker 5: All right, here we go.
- 28:09Speaker 3: Men, we'll be able to do that as well. But
- 28:11Speaker 3: for right now, we have lazy girl jobs. And another
- 28:13Speaker 3: point in the pro lazy girl jobs bucket is women's
- 28:18Speaker 3: increased autonomy and expression of their desires.
- 28:24Speaker 2: We grief.
- 28:25Speaker 3: When you escape the toxic hustle culture and take on
- 28:28Speaker 3: these lazy girl jobs, you're essentially advocating for yourself. And
- 28:32Speaker 3: with the rise of remote work, which is such a
- 28:35Speaker 3: blessing to a lot of women, it allows women to
- 28:38Speaker 3: be even more flexible with how they work and when
- 28:42Speaker 3: they work. So with lazy girl jobs.
- 28:45Speaker 1: Okay, so more flexible about how and when they work.
- 28:50Speaker 2: Oh good.
- 28:51Speaker 1: So in other words, in aggregate, these women's choices is
- 28:54Speaker 1: going to are going to basically make the American economy
- 28:57Speaker 1: and every other Western country that does that enables this
- 29:00Speaker 1: less competitive compared to other cultures with a serious worth
- 29:06Speaker 1: work ethic virtue.
- 29:09Speaker 2: It's gonna depend on how it's handled, like if it
- 29:12Speaker 2: if it's if it's about you know, this person works
- 29:15Speaker 2: nine to five, this person works, you know, eight to four,
- 29:18Speaker 2: and this person works ten to six. That's one thing
- 29:22Speaker 2: gonna it's not gonna be a big deal in jobs
- 29:24Speaker 2: where you're not doing in the moment customer interactions, but
- 29:29Speaker 2: you're just producing content that or background for content or
- 29:34Speaker 2: items that don't actually get used or dealt with for
- 29:37Speaker 2: a day or two. But if you're like if you're
- 29:42Speaker 2: doing I I I at least know one person who
- 29:46Speaker 2: does call center work from their home. You have to
- 29:51Speaker 2: you have to be on when people are calling. You
- 29:54Speaker 2: can't decide you only want to work certain hours, you know,
- 29:57Speaker 2: and that so she hasn't been able to to do
- 30:00Speaker 2: what this woman is describing and if she puts that
- 30:03Speaker 2: expectation into every gal out there. Oh, if I work
- 30:06Speaker 2: from home and I don't want to get up until
- 30:09Speaker 2: four o'clock in the afternoon, I can work from you know,
- 30:13Speaker 2: four pm until you know whenever, and maybe no, maybe
- 30:17Speaker 2: you can't. And it's going to sabotage a lot of
- 30:20Speaker 2: women trying to work from home.
- 30:22Speaker 1: Actually, m yeah, well, but uh well, the thing is
- 30:27Speaker 1: that it's actually proven that they're gonna women at least women,
- 30:32Speaker 1: not necessarily men, but women when they work from home
- 30:35Speaker 1: are less productive because they do this will always work, Yeah,
- 30:38Speaker 1: they don't always work, are often just doing things that
- 30:42Speaker 1: are around the home or other stuff. And I would
- 30:47Speaker 1: say that it's looking like women just don't have the
- 30:50Speaker 1: same kind of virtues around work as men do. Like
- 30:54Speaker 1: and it's not all women. There's some women who are
- 30:56Speaker 1: very hard working. I always have to do that caveat,
- 31:00Speaker 1: But there seems to be a larger percentage enough that
- 31:02Speaker 1: it's picked up statistically that will sit on their employer's
- 31:07Speaker 1: time and see themselves that it's okay that they're just
- 31:11Speaker 1: receiving resources and that itself is somehow a virtue that
- 31:15Speaker 1: their employers just shoveling resources at them without them actually
- 31:18Speaker 1: doing anything to earn them. And I see that mentality
- 31:22Speaker 1: a lot more among women, but you know, it's also
- 31:24Speaker 1: cropping up around I guess younger men too. But the
- 31:29Speaker 1: other thing I wanted to point out is that I've
- 31:32Speaker 1: actually heard that there are some because of me too,
- 31:37Speaker 1: there are some male employers that have at home their
- 31:41Speaker 1: entire female workforce just to keep them away from the
- 31:44Speaker 1: male workforce. And that might be an option too. I mean,
- 31:49Speaker 1: if you want, if your company is strong enough and
- 31:52Speaker 1: has enough revenue to just maintain the fat berg of
- 31:55Speaker 1: women doing almost nothing at home, then do it gets them,
- 32:00Speaker 1: gets them away from men, so men can actually generate
- 32:03Speaker 1: that culture that men do around actual work and uh,
- 32:08Speaker 1: and you may actually be more efficient. It might be
- 32:10Speaker 1: it might be a short term solution to a lot
- 32:12Speaker 1: of these issues, these workplace issues, a culture of gossip
- 32:17Speaker 1: and and uh and not getting shit done, taking over
- 32:23Speaker 1: just you know.
- 32:24Speaker 2: Well, a culture of assuming bad intent and acting in
- 32:30Speaker 2: bad faith, because that is something that happens a lot
- 32:33Speaker 2: in the workplace with women when they start meeting people.
- 32:37Speaker 2: You know, if a guy is facing in their general direction,
- 32:40Speaker 2: he's looking at them, even if he's not right, if
- 32:43Speaker 2: somebody is laughing, they're laughing at at these women. And
- 32:46Speaker 2: even if they're not, if they hear half of a conversation, uh,
- 32:50Speaker 2: it must have started out with did you know so
- 32:53Speaker 2: and so? And it's them that it's being talked about.
- 32:56Speaker 2: And you know, I've worked with that too, you know,
- 32:59Speaker 2: like I've worked with that chick. And it's hell working
- 33:03Speaker 2: with that chick because you're on eggshells the whole time,
- 33:05Speaker 2: and everybody else also on eggshells, and you snipe at
- 33:09Speaker 2: each other and people will throw each other under the bus,
- 33:12Speaker 2: and it ends up being a very bad environment. Like well,
- 33:17Speaker 2: employers are also starting to not do things like if
- 33:21Speaker 2: you have to counsel a female employee and you're a
- 33:24Speaker 2: male employer, you can't just sit her down and talk
- 33:27Speaker 2: to her. You have to have another person present in
- 33:29Speaker 2: the room. If you want to have even an instructional training,
- 33:35Speaker 2: you had to have another person there because if you're
- 33:37Speaker 2: alone with her, she could say anything, and if she
- 33:41Speaker 2: doesn't like what she's being told, even if it has
- 33:44Speaker 2: absolutely nothing harassing or sexual about it, just well, this
- 33:48Speaker 2: task isn't optional. You have to do this task when
- 33:51Speaker 2: you're on your shift. That alone can get a guy,
- 33:55Speaker 2: me too. So they're not they're not working with women alone,
- 34:02Speaker 2: and they're not mentoring like they used to. They're not
- 34:05Speaker 2: giving the instructions as completely, and they're not taking the
- 34:09Speaker 2: time with women because they don't want to put themselves
- 34:13Speaker 2: at risk. Well, and why would you blame them.
- 34:18Speaker 1: No, nobody can blame them at this point. But we're
- 34:20Speaker 1: just seeing in real time as this. And it's funny
- 34:24Speaker 1: because women have been in the workplace for a long
- 34:26Speaker 1: a fairly long time now, and yet we are now
- 34:30Speaker 1: seeing like the reason why women were often excluded from
- 34:36Speaker 1: this stuff. Yeah, you know, all of the bad habits
- 34:41Speaker 1: just being indulged.
- 34:43Speaker 2: When we say women have been in a workplace for
- 34:44Speaker 2: a very long time, we're talking about middle class women
- 34:48Speaker 2: like women who historically haven't necessarily had to be in
- 34:54Speaker 2: a workplace. Upper class women too, And to be honest,
- 35:00Speaker 2: poor women have always had to be in the workplace,
- 35:04Speaker 2: and it's usually their workplace has usually included things like
- 35:08Speaker 2: having to go to other women's houses and do their
- 35:10Speaker 2: housework for them because those women won't do it and
- 35:13Speaker 2: their husbands have to pay somebody else, or doing their
- 35:16Speaker 2: childcare or they're cooking any of that and there were
- 35:20Speaker 2: women that worked in factories. I had two great aunts
- 35:23Speaker 2: that worked in textile mills that the same textile mills
- 35:28Speaker 2: that had a reputation for tearing up children, you know,
- 35:34Speaker 2: but that that kind of work. If you didn't have
- 35:39Speaker 2: a lot of money, you did that kind of work.
- 35:41Speaker 2: And even going back to like the pre Victoria times,
- 35:45Speaker 2: like women worked in coal mines and they did work
- 35:50Speaker 2: that you needed to be smaller for. There was work
- 35:54Speaker 2: that boys did, there was work that girls did, and
- 35:57Speaker 2: there was work that women did. And during Victorian times,
- 36:02Speaker 2: in fact, because of Queen Victoria's distaste for the idea
- 36:06Speaker 2: that women were doing this work, they pulled the women
- 36:09Speaker 2: out of the mines and then they had to work
- 36:11Speaker 2: outdoors instead, where it was freezing cold in the wintertime
- 36:14Speaker 2: and you know, really really oppressively hot and humid in
- 36:20Speaker 2: the summertime. And they pretty much had the same outfit
- 36:25Speaker 2: on the whole time, because it had to be something
- 36:27Speaker 2: thick and padded that covered their skin so they didn't
- 36:30Speaker 2: get injured by the stuff they were working with. And
- 36:33Speaker 2: boys got put into the jobs that women had been doing.
- 36:36Speaker 2: But women always worked, and there were always women that
- 36:40Speaker 2: did shit jobs. It's just that women like Manifestelle wouldn't
- 36:47Speaker 2: really know about those women and what they did because
- 36:51Speaker 2: they would be beneath her.
- 36:54Speaker 1: I doubt Manifestelle is actually that high up on the
- 36:57Speaker 1: social hierarchy, at least.
- 36:58Speaker 2: Before she got pretty, but she is on audience hierarchy.
- 37:03Speaker 1: M true. True. Okay, so let's let's do a little
- 37:07Speaker 1: bit more.
- 37:08Speaker 5: All right.
- 37:10Speaker 3: The rise of remote work like this greater flexibility in
- 37:14Speaker 3: terms of work, This has led to greater work life
- 37:17Speaker 3: balance for a lot of women, and we saw that
- 37:19Speaker 3: in the common section of that TikTok, Like, women are
- 37:24Speaker 3: loving this greater flexibility and they now have the freedom
- 37:28Speaker 3: to personal endeavors and projects, side hustles, passion projects, just
- 37:34Speaker 3: like what are you able to do?
- 37:35Speaker 2: A side hustle is a second job if you're If
- 37:39Speaker 2: you're pursuing a side hustle, either you have a special
- 37:44Speaker 2: a special passion for it like I have for this right,
- 37:47Speaker 2: or you're desperate for money because you're not making enough
- 37:52Speaker 2: at your lazy girl job.
- 37:54Speaker 1: Yeah. But also what she's saying is women are only
- 38:00Speaker 1: employed in name, in name and paycheck only. Yeah, So
- 38:05Speaker 1: when women get a job, what they want is a
- 38:07Speaker 1: job just gives them money. So they can do something else.
- 38:10Speaker 1: Are are recruiters looking at this and watching this and
- 38:15Speaker 1: I hope realizing that this philosophy is actually a philosophy
- 38:20Speaker 1: of theft.
- 38:22Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, it's it's it's so rampant that there
- 38:26Speaker 2: are women who will cost their employers money doing things
- 38:32Speaker 2: using their employer's resources on the job that U For instance,
- 38:39Speaker 2: I take care of intellectually disabled adults. I had a
- 38:43Speaker 2: colleague that engaged in a practice that we later figured
- 38:50Speaker 2: out after she was fired for wasting a lot of
- 38:53Speaker 2: fuel and a lot of driving hours that that were budgeted.
- 38:59Speaker 2: We think she was actually doing door dash on the
- 39:01Speaker 2: job with the client in the car and like that
- 39:06Speaker 2: kind of thing. That kind of behavior is very it's
- 39:11Speaker 2: not just entitled, it's it's actually kind of sociopathic, where
- 39:17Speaker 2: you don't consider the damage that you're doing to your employer,
- 39:21Speaker 2: and you don't consider the impact on your job environment
- 39:25Speaker 2: and the success of the business that you work for
- 39:28Speaker 2: and the sustainability of the business that you work for.
- 39:31Speaker 2: You just think, oh, I can get paid for doing
- 39:33Speaker 2: job A while I'm doing job B and getting paid
- 39:36Speaker 2: for doing job B and just make money at both,
- 39:39Speaker 2: so I get double the money for half the work.
- 39:43Speaker 1: Mm hmm. Let someone else fit the bill and you're
- 39:47Speaker 1: not doing Yeah, yeah, it's and this mentality comes from
- 39:53Speaker 1: this attitude, which again seems to be very problement among women,
- 39:57Speaker 1: not so much among men. At least, it wasn't that
- 39:59Speaker 1: you your needs entitle you to resources rather than you
- 40:04Speaker 1: must earn those resources. And having that kind of a
- 40:08Speaker 1: virtue of if I don't work, I don't eat kind
- 40:12Speaker 1: of virtue. Yeah, right, if I don't make an effort,
- 40:15Speaker 1: if I don't try, if I don't do something productive
- 40:18Speaker 1: that someone is interested in paying me for because for
- 40:21Speaker 1: whatever reason, usually when you get paid it's because you're
- 40:24Speaker 1: doing work somebody doesn't want to do for some reason,
- 40:27Speaker 1: like for example, we here put our names and faces
- 40:30Speaker 1: to stuff that gets you socially kicked out right, Like,
- 40:35Speaker 1: you know, there's a there's a huge social cost to
- 40:37Speaker 1: talking about this stuff. So we you know, people pay
- 40:40Speaker 1: us to do it, and that's a transaction. We get
- 40:44Speaker 1: paid to do something other people don't want to do.
- 40:47Speaker 1: You know, it's like getting paid to shovel shit, except
- 40:49Speaker 1: in our case it's mental shit.
- 40:51Speaker 4: Like.
- 40:53Speaker 2: The proverbial bullshit.
- 40:54Speaker 1: Yeah, we're shoveling bullshit. We're we're professional bullshit shovelers, right.
- 41:00Speaker 1: But that's the thing, and you want you have this
- 41:04Speaker 1: mentality that you want to do something of service to
- 41:07Speaker 1: somebody else, and that is what earns you your income.
- 41:11Speaker 1: But women often have a mentality that just having a
- 41:14Speaker 1: need is virtuale is is enough to be worthy of
- 41:20Speaker 1: getting something. It's like anti meritocratic.
- 41:24Speaker 2: I think it's cultural, and I think it's something that
- 41:27Speaker 2: evolved in Western culture throughout history women women's the culture
- 41:36Speaker 2: of being female. I don't think it's genetic. I don't
- 41:40Speaker 2: think it's biological, but the culture of being female evolved
- 41:45Speaker 2: with the idea that women's way of obtaining resources was
- 41:49Speaker 2: to need them visibly and out loud, and men's men,
- 41:54Speaker 2: men would provide them and women would distribute them. And
- 41:59Speaker 2: men's way of a taining resources was to go get them,
- 42:02Speaker 2: do the work, and bring them back, and they always
- 42:05Speaker 2: better bring enough for the whole class. And I think
- 42:08Speaker 2: that has led to this idea that women feel like
- 42:12Speaker 2: they deserve resources just for existing and men think they
- 42:16Speaker 2: owe resources just for existing. And it feeds on each other.
- 42:21Speaker 2: It's a codependent relationship. And if women don't like I think,
- 42:27Speaker 2: I don't think it's I think it's a much worse
- 42:29Speaker 2: thing today than it was in the past, and that
- 42:32Speaker 2: you know, in the past, women at least had some
- 42:34Speaker 2: sense of responsibility for stewarding resources and producing some resources. Well,
- 42:41Speaker 2: they're going out hunting, We're going to gather. Maybe some
- 42:45Speaker 2: of us are strong enough to hunt, maybe some of
- 42:47Speaker 2: them aren't, and they should help us gather. We're going
- 42:50Speaker 2: to cook, we're going to make the resources safe to consume,
- 42:54Speaker 2: we're going to process it, you know, and things like that.
- 42:56Speaker 2: And I think a lot of that has disappeared because
- 42:59Speaker 2: a lot of what women did to uh, to do
- 43:04Speaker 2: you know, their fair share in making sure the resources
- 43:07Speaker 2: were available to everybody and usable by everybody, that stuff
- 43:12Speaker 2: got replaced by machines first, and then long before men's
- 43:18Speaker 2: labor was getting all replaced by machines. Are simplified by
- 43:21Speaker 2: machines or made safer by machines. And as a result
- 43:25Speaker 2: of that, I think women became more entitled over time,
- 43:30Speaker 2: and we've gotten to a point now where women don't
- 43:32Speaker 2: even remember having a sense of responsibility for their family
- 43:36Speaker 2: and and uh making sure that the resources are used
- 43:40Speaker 2: fairly and wisely. And so now it's just I want
- 43:44Speaker 2: I want, I want, gimme, gimme, gimme put the money
- 43:47Speaker 2: in the hat. I'm gonna call misogyny.
- 43:52Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, let's get another.
- 43:54Speaker 5: Got a schow.
- 43:59Speaker 1: Uh.
- 44:00Speaker 4: Gary gave us five dollars and says, I've experienced women
- 44:03Speaker 4: in the workplace. I work in the service industry and
- 44:06Speaker 4: we've been short staff for weeks now. I'm doing the
- 44:09Speaker 4: job of three people while they gossip and drink lemonade
- 44:12Speaker 4: in the back room. Meanwhile I'm either mopping the floor,
- 44:16Speaker 4: cleaning the bathroom, or taking out the trash.
- 44:20Speaker 1: Oh not.
- 44:20Speaker 2: The women never cleaned the bathroom. My coworkers. When I
- 44:24Speaker 2: worked at the gas station down the street from where
- 44:27Speaker 2: I live now, all the women would come up with
- 44:30Speaker 2: every excuse in the world to get out of cleaning
- 44:33Speaker 2: the bathroom. I was the only one that would just
- 44:36Speaker 2: do it in when I was asked to do it,
- 44:38Speaker 2: instead of complaining. And there was one night where I
- 44:43Speaker 2: was working, and I've told this on HBr talk before,
- 44:46Speaker 2: but there was one night when I was working that
- 44:48Speaker 2: somebody had gone in and been sick in the men's room.
- 44:52Speaker 2: It was a Friday, and the assistant manager was not
- 44:57Speaker 2: going to be in for the tire rest of the weekend.
- 45:01Speaker 2: They just had a shift manager and she wasn't going
- 45:04Speaker 2: to go do it, and the cashiers weren't going to
- 45:06Speaker 2: go do it, and they all were. They put a
- 45:09Speaker 2: no service sign, out of order sign on the door,
- 45:14Speaker 2: and I was like, what's wrong with the men's restroom? Well,
- 45:16Speaker 2: there's puke in it. Well we can clean that up.
- 45:19Speaker 2: It's not out of service. Well I'm not doing it.
- 45:22Speaker 2: I'm not doing it, you know, just let let Chris
- 45:24Speaker 2: do it. When he comes back in, he's you know,
- 45:27Speaker 2: he's the manager. He's a guy. You need a guy
- 45:29Speaker 2: do in there and clean the men's room. So I
- 45:31Speaker 2: ended up going in there and cleaning it and then
- 45:34Speaker 2: coming back out and putting my apron on and preparing
- 45:37Speaker 2: lunch for people the rest of the morning. And and
- 45:40Speaker 2: that was how that ended up working. And it was
- 45:44Speaker 2: on a regular basis that the women that I worked
- 45:48Speaker 2: with would not touch the bathrooms. Oh it's too gross,
- 45:51Speaker 2: I'm not going in there, but they would let the
- 45:53Speaker 2: person who prepared people's food go in there. And then
- 45:56Speaker 2: they would get mad that I took so long washing
- 45:58Speaker 2: my hands up to the elbows, and I had to
- 46:00Speaker 2: wear a different apron when I went in there than
- 46:02Speaker 2: the one that I was using in the kitchen, like, well,
- 46:05Speaker 2: you want to eat when I'm gonna cook. But that's
- 46:08Speaker 2: the way they were, you know, Oh, let a guy
- 46:10Speaker 2: do it. Let a guy do it. And they got
- 46:12Speaker 2: mad at me for not being on board with that,
- 46:14Speaker 2: and then they got mad at me for being careful
- 46:16Speaker 2: about what I was doing. And it just the work
- 46:19Speaker 2: ethic was terrible, and that was some of them were
- 46:23Speaker 2: gen xers like me, so I didn't understand. But I
- 46:27Speaker 2: had gone from a mostly rural area to a mostly
- 46:31Speaker 2: urban area, and I quickly learned that that's another factor.
- 46:34Speaker 2: If you're in a small town, a farming community where
- 46:38Speaker 2: like kids had chores when they were growing up, and
- 46:41Speaker 2: they had to be careful and there wasn't this leeway
- 46:45Speaker 2: for everything being done for you, they have a better
- 46:50Speaker 2: work ethic. Then if you're in an area where you
- 46:54Speaker 2: had to take care and it's the upper class urban
- 46:58Speaker 2: areas like above of the poverty level, where young people
- 47:02Speaker 2: don't they don't really learn task completion. Once you get
- 47:07Speaker 2: below a certain income, you get moms that didn't take
- 47:09Speaker 2: care of their kids, and the kids started having to
- 47:11Speaker 2: take care of themselves at like the ripe old age
- 47:13Speaker 2: of four years old. They know how to work. Unfortunately
- 47:18Speaker 2: not for good reasons. But yeah, what he's describing was
- 47:22Speaker 2: my common experience in retail.
- 47:25Speaker 1: Yeah, not surprised. It is a bit different between rural
- 47:29Speaker 1: and urban women. But uh, because I when we we go,
- 47:36Speaker 1: we have to drive, like recently we just well not
- 47:38Speaker 1: to not recently because everything is covered in snow, but
- 47:42Speaker 1: we have to drive everywhere. If we want to go
- 47:43Speaker 1: to a vet, we have to drive like eighty miles, right.
- 47:48Speaker 1: But when we're driving, you go past farmsteads and you'll
- 47:52Speaker 1: see women doing yard work in rural areas. Like yard
- 47:57Speaker 1: work is actually women's work in rural areas. It's real,
- 48:01Speaker 1: it's not yes, yes, oh yeah, because it's like, you know,
- 48:04Speaker 1: two work that you have to Well, they usually have
- 48:07Speaker 1: a driving tractor, but there's also yeah, power and a
- 48:13Speaker 1: gardening that needs to happen. But yeah, so in in
- 48:16Speaker 1: rural areas, I've seen a lot more of a strong
- 48:18Speaker 1: work ethic among women, and particularly interestingly enough, I've watched
- 48:25Speaker 1: the progression of like a rural transport transplant into the
- 48:29Speaker 1: Google jobs kind of sphere. And although she's adopted a
- 48:33Speaker 1: lot of the mentality of the I guess the the
- 48:38Speaker 1: avocata toast crowd. She's still I think is a harder
- 48:42Speaker 1: worker than them, just just inherently. And you know, so
- 48:48Speaker 1: it's it is definitely regional, it's definitely generational, but most
- 48:52Speaker 1: of all, it's it's sex.
- 48:54Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, then are much a difference between men and women.
- 48:59Speaker 1: Men are much more likely to take a sense of
- 49:01Speaker 1: self worth from the work that they do, which means
- 49:04Speaker 1: they work harder. All right, let's keep let's keep going,
- 49:08Speaker 1: because I wanted to try to pace this.
- 49:11Speaker 5: Yeah, uh so I jumped ahead to let me see thirty.
- 49:17Speaker 4: Seven empowerment beyond traditional workspaces.
- 49:21Speaker 5: So essentially what.
- 49:23Speaker 2: The empowerment is one of those words I hate, by
- 49:25Speaker 2: the way, but.
- 49:26Speaker 3: Yeah, I know it's the worst, okay, So that we're
- 49:31Speaker 3: not going to find joy and empowerment and validation in
- 49:35Speaker 3: these male dominated workspaces, Like we don't need to be
- 49:39Speaker 3: breaking glass ceilings if we personally know that we're not
- 49:43Speaker 3: going to be happy there, Like.
- 49:46Speaker 1: Then don't complain like this is the problem. Fine, accept
- 49:51Speaker 1: that about yourselves, and do not complain about the number
- 49:54Speaker 1: of female CEOs. Yeah, don't complain about the number of
- 49:59Speaker 1: women in the seas.
- 50:01Speaker 2: You know, there are more male CEOs and female CEOs
- 50:07Speaker 2: because men talk about what they're going to do for
- 50:09Speaker 2: their workplace and women talk about what their workplace is
- 50:11Speaker 2: going to do for them.
- 50:13Speaker 1: Yeah, well, there's also the other thing is that proportionate
- 50:19Speaker 1: there are more female CEOs proportionate to women in the
- 50:22Speaker 1: worst jobs like garbage collecting than men. So actually, if
- 50:27Speaker 1: you look at the number of female CEOs proportionate to
- 50:32Speaker 1: how much women choose to go into the workplace, there's
- 50:36Speaker 1: actual pressure pushing women up to the CEO position, whereas
- 50:41Speaker 1: there's pressure pushing women down to the worst jobs. So
- 50:46Speaker 1: this is this old idea that the fact that there
- 50:48Speaker 1: are fewer female CEOs represents bias against women. Absolutely false
- 50:53Speaker 1: because based on women's labor force participation, they're actually preferentially
- 50:59Speaker 1: chosen for CEO positions. So if women go into the
- 51:03Speaker 1: labor force, they will more likely end up as a
- 51:06Speaker 1: CEO than a garbage collector relative to a man. Where
- 51:10Speaker 1: is that? How is that disadvantage just because you choose
- 51:14Speaker 1: to end up in a spoilt, girly job like you
- 51:18Speaker 1: prefer that versus doing the high powered, risk taking activities
- 51:23Speaker 1: that I'll get you in a CEO position. I mean,
- 51:26Speaker 1: if a woman does engage in those activities, she's probably
- 51:28Speaker 1: got like maybe a ten times greater chance of ending
- 51:32Speaker 1: up in a CEO position and then a man. But
- 51:36Speaker 1: they just don't want to because they want to be
- 51:38Speaker 1: in these kind of spoilt jobs. Okay, go ahead, Hannah.
- 51:41Speaker 2: You have this thing between men and women. It's not
- 51:44Speaker 2: just them wanting to be in the spoiled jobs, that
- 51:46Speaker 2: is a big thing. And it's not just them picking
- 51:50Speaker 2: the easy professions that they think, oh, I can rise
- 51:54Speaker 2: up here and I'm fulfilled here and everything. It's this
- 51:57Speaker 2: whole combination of, like I said, women ask what their
- 52:02Speaker 2: employer can do for them, versus men offering what am
- 52:06Speaker 2: I going to do for my employer? This is how
- 52:08Speaker 2: I'm going to earn my paycheck. And then you also
- 52:12Speaker 2: have this complete lack of sense of what the employer
- 52:19Speaker 2: is hiring them for, right, what the employer owes them for,
- 52:23Speaker 2: and what the employer has a right to expect out
- 52:25Speaker 2: of them. Like men going to work, understanding your employer
- 52:29Speaker 2: has a goal for the creation of this job. This
- 52:31Speaker 2: job exists to achieve a particular thing, and therefore, whoever
- 52:35Speaker 2: takes this job, that their mission should be to achieve
- 52:38Speaker 2: that particular thing, and it shouldn't necessarily come as any
- 52:43Speaker 2: surprise that that involves specific tasks and specific actions and
- 52:49Speaker 2: behaviors and so on. And what you end up with
- 52:53Speaker 2: women is well, all right, how am I going to
- 52:56Speaker 2: work this around my life? And how am I going
- 52:59Speaker 2: to make this fit into my sensibilities, fit in among
- 53:05Speaker 2: my sensibilities, and how I'm gonna keep this from interfering
- 53:10Speaker 2: with my family time? And oh, by the way, I
- 53:13Speaker 2: deserve to get paid more because I do laundry at home.
- 53:17Speaker 2: That's my laundry for myself. And when they go into
- 53:23Speaker 2: work with that attitude, the first thing they're not doing
- 53:26Speaker 2: is negotiating with their employer for more money. You know,
- 53:29Speaker 2: I should get paid more because I provide you this
- 53:33Speaker 2: value is a lot more persuasive. I earned fifty thousand
- 53:37Speaker 2: more dollars than the next salesman this year. Is a
- 53:41Speaker 2: lot more persuasive than I do my own laundry, Like
- 53:46Speaker 2: everybody does their own goddamn laundry. You know, I'm not
- 53:50Speaker 2: paying you for that, but I did.
- 53:54Speaker 1: Yeah, But if a woman shows the least amount of
- 53:56Speaker 1: that kind of more, I suppose masculine, task orientated risk taking.
- 54:02Speaker 1: She has all these kinds of pressures that just zoom
- 54:06Speaker 1: her up into the C suite.
- 54:08Speaker 2: Just then you get them CEOs. Yeah, that's whether or
- 54:12Speaker 2: not mm hmm yep. Whereas men have to compete with
- 54:17Speaker 2: that and they have to actually be better than that
- 54:20Speaker 2: in order to move.
- 54:21Speaker 1: Up mm hmmm, and the other like and you see
- 54:24Speaker 1: that with the the end result with that with like faranos,
- 54:28Speaker 1: you remember that that that was that entire thing, That
- 54:31Speaker 1: entire scam worked entirely because it was a young woman,
- 54:35Speaker 1: supposed tech genius, and they and everybody just was salivating
- 54:40Speaker 1: over themselves to give her money because of that. That's
- 54:44Speaker 1: the only reason the scam worked. And now she's going
- 54:46Speaker 1: and saying, oh, it's all my boyfriend's fault.
- 54:50Speaker 2: I had to I had to explain this to somebody
- 54:54Speaker 2: on X not too long ago, where I I said,
- 54:58Speaker 2: I know it was. It was on actually I think
- 55:00Speaker 2: it was last night. On the show. I talked about
- 55:04Speaker 2: the accountability gap, which the accountability gap is a phenomenon
- 55:09Speaker 2: that has been discussed in the men's rights movement for
- 55:11Speaker 2: like at least one hundred years. I would if I
- 55:14Speaker 2: was going to say where's who originated this. I'd probably
- 55:16Speaker 2: go back to Ernest Belfort Bax and his writings, because
- 55:20Speaker 2: you can find it described in his writings. He did
- 55:22Speaker 2: not name it, and nobody really had given it a
- 55:26Speaker 2: specific buzzword jargon name. And at the point where I
- 55:32Speaker 2: started count calling it the accountability gap. And there are
- 55:37Speaker 2: people that have talked to me that think of it
- 55:39Speaker 2: as my idea because I named it when I only
- 55:44Speaker 2: named it because of the wage gap myth and the
- 55:48Speaker 2: wage gap myths evolving into this point where women are
- 55:52Speaker 2: expecting employers to pay them more money because they do
- 55:56Speaker 2: housework at home for themselves. But that doesn't make it
- 56:00Speaker 2: my original idea, right, It's just I put a title
- 56:05Speaker 2: to it and have been describing it. And I've had
- 56:10Speaker 2: this experience of being treated like a genius for saying
- 56:14Speaker 2: ordinary things that are true that male men's rights activists
- 56:20Speaker 2: have said for years because people aren't used to hearing
- 56:24Speaker 2: a woman say it. And I think that happens with
- 56:26Speaker 2: women in the workplace, where men will do a job,
- 56:31Speaker 2: and they'll perform the tasks, and they'll advance the procedures
- 56:35Speaker 2: so that they're improved, and so on. For years and years,
- 56:39Speaker 2: the workplace will become safer than it originally was, It'll
- 56:42Speaker 2: become more efficient than it originally was. Over time, women
- 56:46Speaker 2: will come in do the same job and they get
- 56:49Speaker 2: treated like they're brilliant for doing ordinary things in the
- 56:53Speaker 2: workplace because people haven't seen women do them as frequently,
- 56:57Speaker 2: and they'll toot their own horn, and look what I did,
- 57:02Speaker 2: I did my normal job duties. Everybody, aren't you impressed?
- 57:05Speaker 2: And people will make the mistake of being impressed. And
- 57:10Speaker 2: it's not impressive. You know, calling a thing what it
- 57:14Speaker 2: is is not impressive, even if nobody else figured out
- 57:18Speaker 2: a good name for it. It's not impressive. It's a
- 57:21Speaker 2: tool that we can use and move on. And it's
- 57:25Speaker 2: the same thing with women in the workplace that you know,
- 57:30Speaker 2: maybe they notice that something is a little messy and
- 57:33Speaker 2: they tidy it up. Men have been doing that for
- 57:35Speaker 2: a long time. You're not being treated in a sexist
- 57:40Speaker 2: way because you cleaned the workplace kitchen, you know, And
- 57:44Speaker 2: so you get that kind of It creates expectations of
- 57:50Speaker 2: special treatment in women, and it creates a culture of
- 57:53Speaker 2: special treatment of women in the workplace, and you end
- 57:56Speaker 2: up with less quality with their work in and more
- 58:03Speaker 2: responsibility being attributed to them than they are actually fulfilling.
- 58:08Speaker 1: M all right, let's finish this off there, Brian.
- 58:11Speaker 4: All right, I got another super chat from Gary Thomas
- 58:14Speaker 4: for five dollars, who says, when it comes to cleaning
- 58:17Speaker 4: the bathroom, I have no problem with any kind.
- 58:19Speaker 5: Of bodily exertions. I think you mean excretions. But chewing
- 58:23Speaker 5: gum in urinoals makes my skin crawl.
- 58:26Speaker 2: I hate chewing gum. It's been in somebody's mouth, Like
- 58:29Speaker 2: I know it's I'll clean it, vomit and I can
- 58:33Speaker 2: handle it. But you're chewing gum is gross?
- 58:36Speaker 1: So well stick all right, let's let's do this, all right.
- 58:41Speaker 3: And I think that's the new ones that we are
- 58:43Speaker 3: now realizing after the twenty tenth Girl Boss era is
- 58:46Speaker 3: that empowerment will not be found in male spaces. See like,
- 58:49Speaker 3: we don't need to be exactly like that, because empowerment is.
- 58:55Speaker 4: You know, can I just say one thing about this,
- 58:59Speaker 4: isn't it razy that? I mean, it's not that crazy.
- 59:02Speaker 4: That manifestel and women who agree with her. There's probably
- 59:05Speaker 4: a lot of women, let's be honest. They they literally
- 59:10Speaker 4: are blind to the idea or to the fact actually
- 59:14Speaker 4: that men don't get to do any of this. We
- 59:17Speaker 4: don't even have we don't get to have the conversation
- 59:20Speaker 4: about lazy jobs or you know, work life balance. It's
- 59:24Speaker 4: just like Warren Ferrell said, what are what are the
- 59:26Speaker 4: three options for a woman who wants to enter the
- 59:30Speaker 4: workforce after like getting married and starting a family. She
- 59:33Speaker 4: can stay at home and raise kids. She can work
- 59:36Speaker 4: full time but then she can't see the kids, or
- 59:39Speaker 4: she can do some kind of balance between working and
- 59:42Speaker 4: you know, spending time with children. And men also have
- 59:45Speaker 4: three options work full time, work full time, and work
- 59:49Speaker 4: full time.
- 59:50Speaker 5: Like there is like men cannot. They do not have
- 59:53Speaker 5: the luxury.
- 59:54Speaker 4: And it's look, I'm not even I don't even think
- 59:56Speaker 4: that men complain about that. I think that men doing
- 1:00:00Speaker 4: a full time job to support a family or just
- 1:00:03Speaker 4: to support themselves or to support a wife or whatever,
- 1:00:07Speaker 4: generally they don't mind doing that at all. Like they
- 1:00:09Speaker 4: don't see it as a problem because they don't really
- 1:00:14Speaker 4: make working about themselves. They see it as while I'm
- 1:00:18Speaker 4: doing this, especially if they work, you know, like maybe
- 1:00:21Speaker 4: they their business is something they care about. They're more
- 1:00:24Speaker 4: invested in the success of that. But it's just it's
- 1:00:28Speaker 4: just you know, I don't know, it's just wild. Like
- 1:00:30Speaker 4: only if you only women that are as comfortable and
- 1:00:34Speaker 4: as safe and as and living in such as an
- 1:00:37Speaker 4: abundant of society that they have now, only women like
- 1:00:40Speaker 4: that can actually like complain. And you know, it's like
- 1:00:43Speaker 4: the joke I said in the patron show of Adam
- 1:00:46Speaker 4: and Eve, where you know, Adam is walking in the
- 1:00:50Speaker 4: garden of Eden with Eve and he's like, look at this,
- 1:00:53Speaker 4: this is this is paradise.
- 1:00:55Speaker 5: We have food, you know, like that will.
- 1:00:58Speaker 4: That that's always delicious, We live forever, will never be sick.
- 1:01:01Speaker 5: You know, all the animals are our friends, like everything is.
- 1:01:05Speaker 4: Perfect, and where and where God is like our neighbor
- 1:01:08Speaker 4: and our father. We have him like whenever we want
- 1:01:10Speaker 4: to hang out with him. And and he's like, don't
- 1:01:13Speaker 4: you think this is wonderful? And he says, yeah, it's
- 1:01:15Speaker 4: just not enough, is it. It's like, no matter how good
- 1:01:19Speaker 4: they have it, there's like something to complain about. I'm
- 1:01:23Speaker 4: just you know, but anyway, like we can move on
- 1:01:26Speaker 4: to the other video because I know that we've done
- 1:01:27Speaker 4: this for a little over an hour already.
- 1:01:30Speaker 5: But basically what she.
- 1:01:32Speaker 4: Says is because women have been work in trying to like,
- 1:01:38Speaker 4: you know, do jobs in a male, male created environment,
- 1:01:43Speaker 4: the patriarchy. You know, that's where where you get like
- 1:01:45Speaker 4: things like jobs and money and stuff. They have to
- 1:01:48Speaker 4: like somehow escape that into a scenario where it what
- 1:01:52Speaker 4: allows for more work life balance, which just means doing
- 1:01:56Speaker 4: like useless jobs that are going to be because of
- 1:02:00Speaker 4: AI and companies waking up to the fact that, like
- 1:02:05Speaker 4: you know, eighty percent of the people aren't doing any
- 1:02:08Speaker 4: work that work for.
- 1:02:10Speaker 2: That a lot of the times it takes one person
- 1:02:12Speaker 2: to do these five people's jobs if that one person
- 1:02:15Speaker 2: has a good work ethic. The other thing I wanted
- 1:02:17Speaker 2: to mention about her talking about this stuff is I'll
- 1:02:20Speaker 2: tell you why I hate the word empowerment. All right.
- 1:02:23Speaker 2: When women got a hold of the word empowerment, it
- 1:02:27Speaker 2: went from describing the use of tools for improving an
- 1:02:33Speaker 2: individual's capability and productivity so that they could provide value
- 1:02:38Speaker 2: in exchange for compensation and credit basically social credit, to
- 1:02:45Speaker 2: making people feel good about themselves, just making people feel
- 1:02:50Speaker 2: good about themselves, just governing their feelings. And so there's
- 1:02:53Speaker 2: not really any real empowerment in that it's a sense
- 1:02:58Speaker 2: of feeling powerful instead of a sense of being able
- 1:03:02Speaker 2: to do things, and it gets thrown around like it's
- 1:03:08Speaker 2: something important and valuable and useful and helps people, when
- 1:03:13Speaker 2: in fact, what it usually does is provide the office
- 1:03:17Speaker 2: bully more weapons to use against her colleagues and any
- 1:03:22Speaker 2: management that expects her to do her job. So that's
- 1:03:27Speaker 2: why I hate that term.
- 1:03:29Speaker 1: What I'd like to point out is that women had
- 1:03:33Speaker 1: a job throughout human history, right it was in the home.
- 1:03:38Speaker 1: It was often a lot of work, at least up
- 1:03:41Speaker 1: to the Industrial Revolution. Men made it so that ninety
- 1:03:47Speaker 1: percent of it was automated, leaving women with something like
- 1:03:54Speaker 1: eight ten well actually basically twenty one hours free a
- 1:03:59Speaker 1: day of which they could do anything they wanted. And incidentally,
- 1:04:04Speaker 1: the amount of childcare that women do has increased since
- 1:04:07Speaker 1: the fifties, so probably because of the loss of extended
- 1:04:12Speaker 1: family to help out. So in the fifties, a woman
- 1:04:15Speaker 1: was doing less childcare, less work. She had her entire
- 1:04:21Speaker 1: day was under her control and her decision how she
- 1:04:24Speaker 1: wanted to spend that time. She yes, she was financially
- 1:04:30Speaker 1: reliant on a husband, but there were protections that ensured
- 1:04:34Speaker 1: that he was taking care of her financially right, so
- 1:04:40Speaker 1: he had to he had to work to make sure
- 1:04:45Speaker 1: that she was Maine financially. Yeah, and women decided that
- 1:04:50Speaker 1: that wasn't good enough. At that time, a majority of
- 1:04:57Speaker 1: women could have lived the spoilt girly life. Even better
- 1:05:00Speaker 1: than the spoilt girly lifestyle, never had to step foot
- 1:05:03Speaker 1: outside your home, right your entire life was purchasing goods
- 1:05:08Speaker 1: for the for the home, maybe cooking a meal, but
- 1:05:11Speaker 1: the process of cooking meals was vastly decreased in effort
- 1:05:15Speaker 1: due to cans and preserved goods and pre mixes, and
- 1:05:20Speaker 1: in fact, the consumer revolution in the in the fifties
- 1:05:25Speaker 1: brought in things in the home that would only have
- 1:05:27Speaker 1: ever been seen on rich people's plates in the past.
- 1:05:32Speaker 1: And you looked at that. Women looked at that and said, oh,
- 1:05:36Speaker 1: this just isn't enough. And I think it's simply because
- 1:05:41Speaker 1: in part, well maybe maybe it is fully because you
- 1:05:44Speaker 1: had to trust that your husband had your best interests
- 1:05:47Speaker 1: in mind, and that's it. All you had to do
- 1:05:50Speaker 1: was trust, and you threw all of that out, and
- 1:05:53Speaker 1: that would have been the life of the majority of
- 1:05:56Speaker 1: women in the fifties. The majority of women would have
- 1:06:00Speaker 1: access to what you term and not even a spoilt
- 1:06:03Speaker 1: girly job because that job job quote unquote in the
- 1:06:08Speaker 1: home didn't even require the amount of work that a
- 1:06:11Speaker 1: spoilt girly job would require, and that was not good enough.
- 1:06:16Speaker 1: And for the last seventy fricking years, men have never
- 1:06:21Speaker 1: heard the end of it. Like, literally, women were in
- 1:06:25Speaker 1: the home twelve hours a day, six days a week,
- 1:06:29Speaker 1: doing hard labor to keep the home running, and men
- 1:06:33Speaker 1: were like, well, why don't I just buy a whole
- 1:06:35Speaker 1: bunch of automated stuff so that your job is easier.
- 1:06:40Speaker 1: Sixty years later, men have never heard the end of it.
- 1:06:47Speaker 1: A contempt and the anger and the hatred that women
- 1:06:51Speaker 1: have ladled on them for reducing the homes the labor
- 1:06:56Speaker 1: in the home that much. It's inferior.
- 1:07:01Speaker 2: If you don't believe it, look up a video called
- 1:07:05Speaker 2: Semiotics of the Kitchen. This was a feminist protest video
- 1:07:11Speaker 2: that was made to make it look like women were
- 1:07:14Speaker 2: enslaved by inanimate objects that they used as tools in
- 1:07:18Speaker 2: I'm it's just it was really something. Yeah, it just
- 1:07:25Speaker 2: really was like you look at it and you're like,
- 1:07:28Speaker 2: oh God, you know, what is what is going on
- 1:07:32Speaker 2: in this woman's head? Because you get the distinct impression
- 1:07:38Speaker 2: that she's oppressed by the potato masher.
- 1:07:42Speaker 7: I'm just like, like, in the future, let's just imagine
- 1:07:48Speaker 7: a perfect themtopia and everything is done and there are
- 1:07:51Speaker 7: no men.
- 1:07:52Speaker 1: Everything is done by robots. Men. Women will still be
- 1:07:54Speaker 1: oppressed by the fact that robots do everything for them.
- 1:08:00Speaker 2: The robots will be there there, imprisoners and oppressor.
- 1:08:06Speaker 5: Women were still viewed as chattel.
- 1:08:08Speaker 1: Even though they could turn them on and off and
- 1:08:10Speaker 1: program them. They'll still be their oppressors. Yep, good lord. Okay,
- 1:08:15Speaker 1: let's get to the next one. I know, I know
- 1:08:17Speaker 1: you want to do that, Brian.
- 1:08:19Speaker 4: Uh. Yeah, well, let's just get to the other video.
- 1:08:22Speaker 4: So this one is conveniently related title. Uh, influencing is
- 1:08:29Speaker 4: a real job, but no one thinks so, guys, I'm
- 1:08:33Speaker 4: what I'm doing is legitimate and I'm going to prove it.
- 1:08:36Speaker 5: And also quiet quitting.
- 1:08:40Speaker 1: I mean, she's right, it is she has to pay
- 1:08:43Speaker 1: Presumably she pays her income tax. You know, as far
- 1:08:46Speaker 1: as I'm concerned, you pay income tax, you probably have
- 1:08:49Speaker 1: a real job. But let's let's face it like it's
- 1:08:55Speaker 1: it's it's pure Connor artistry.
- 1:08:59Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, okay, let's play the video yeah, I get order.
- 1:09:04Speaker 3: That's I love aloshop dot com and use code manifest
- 1:09:06Speaker 3: I'll to get ten percent off your first order. Now
- 1:09:09Speaker 3: back to the topic. Last January nineteenth, twenty twenty five,
- 1:09:13Speaker 3: TikTok users in the US received this alert on the app.
- 1:09:17Speaker 3: It says, sorry, TikTok isn't available right now. A law
- 1:09:21Speaker 3: banning TikTok has been enacted in the US. Unfortunately, that
- 1:09:25Speaker 3: means you can't use TikTok right now. And the reason
- 1:09:27Speaker 3: behind the span is that lawmakers and US officials suspect
- 1:09:30Speaker 3: that TikTok's ties to China posts a risk on our
- 1:09:34Speaker 3: national security and that risk comes in the form of
- 1:09:37Speaker 3: China having, however, many millions of Americans information. And another
- 1:09:43Speaker 3: TikTok creator was like, well, what if I want them
- 1:09:45Speaker 3: to have the information? Have you thought about that? Like,
- 1:09:48Speaker 3: that's hilarious and this all didn't just.
- 1:09:50Speaker 1: Happen, can't believe it. Manifestell was having a Manifestell moment,
- 1:09:56Speaker 1: like about another woman.
- 1:10:00Speaker 2: Well do you think about I don't know if women
- 1:10:02Speaker 2: understand the security risk of a semi hostile or totally
- 1:10:08Speaker 2: hostile nation nation having say not just your name and
- 1:10:12Speaker 2: your address and your phone number, but your passwords for
- 1:10:17Speaker 2: everything on your phone. We've been getting warned about this online.
- 1:10:21Speaker 2: We've been getting warned about this on YouTube. We've been
- 1:10:23Speaker 2: getting warned about this on Facebook. There are memes about it.
- 1:10:26Speaker 2: There's everything that it's not just your your name, your address,
- 1:10:31Speaker 2: your phone, it's your banking information. It's your password and
- 1:10:35Speaker 2: your name to your bank account. And it's like you
- 1:10:39Speaker 2: have games on your phone. Those games have mined all
- 1:10:44Speaker 2: of the information that you have put into your phone.
- 1:10:47Speaker 2: So if you've done your banking on your phone, the
- 1:10:51Speaker 2: companies that created those games have gotten the password to
- 1:10:55Speaker 2: your bank accounts. And if you use your your name
- 1:10:59Speaker 2: with no numbers behind it or anything, or if you
- 1:11:01Speaker 2: use your name with numbers behind it as your name
- 1:11:05Speaker 2: to get into your bank account online, they have that.
- 1:11:10Speaker 2: If you put your social Security number in somewhere, they
- 1:11:12Speaker 2: have that. You know, if you're in America or or
- 1:11:15Speaker 2: your other tax identifying information and other nations, they have that.
- 1:11:19Speaker 2: And having all of that information means that they can
- 1:11:23Speaker 2: financially cripple your country by taking down everybody's ability to
- 1:11:29Speaker 2: spend their money all at the same time, so nobody
- 1:11:33Speaker 2: can go to the store today, nobody can shop online today.
- 1:11:36Speaker 2: Nobody can use public transportation today. That card you use
- 1:11:40Speaker 2: to get on the bus doesn't work right now, or
- 1:11:42Speaker 2: that phone app you use to get on the bus
- 1:11:44Speaker 2: doesn't work right now, right And that's if you have
- 1:11:49Speaker 2: the kind of vehicle I have, or you get on
- 1:11:52Speaker 2: a bus to drive every day. If you have a
- 1:11:54Speaker 2: newer vehicle, something that was made in the last five
- 1:11:57Speaker 2: or six years, and it's computerized, and you have what's
- 1:12:01Speaker 2: it called on Star or whatever, that you get you know,
- 1:12:07Speaker 2: roadside assistance through it, and it gives you the same
- 1:12:11Speaker 2: services that say, Google Maps gives you know, the people
- 1:12:14Speaker 2: in the in the cheap seats. Your your car might
- 1:12:18Speaker 2: be hackable and you might be able to be disabled
- 1:12:21Speaker 2: on your route to or from work. If your workplace
- 1:12:25Speaker 2: relies on being able to make financial transactions on a
- 1:12:29Speaker 2: daily basis, that may be compromised. They may not be
- 1:12:33Speaker 2: able to do it right. You can cripple an entire
- 1:12:36Speaker 2: country if you have all of that information. So it's
- 1:12:39Speaker 2: not a minor thing at all. What people don't understand
- 1:12:43Speaker 2: is the threat that we were told that TIMU is.
- 1:12:47Speaker 2: Everything on your phone. Is that threat everything that originates
- 1:12:52Speaker 2: from outside the United States, that is on your phone.
- 1:12:55Speaker 2: Google doesn't vet the apps that they allow you to
- 1:13:00Speaker 2: download through their shop, like they might keep conservatives from
- 1:13:05Speaker 2: putting their apps up, but they don't stop. In fact,
- 1:13:11Speaker 2: I just had an app self download from an ad
- 1:13:16Speaker 2: that I watched on YouTube, and that app then got
- 1:13:22Speaker 2: some of my information and started using it. And it
- 1:13:27Speaker 2: had just so happened that I had some fail safe
- 1:13:30Speaker 2: setup that I got an alert and I had to
- 1:13:32Speaker 2: get in touch with my bank and say, if there's
- 1:13:35Speaker 2: anything that happens with this app, I didn't make any
- 1:13:38Speaker 2: deals with them, I'm not doing business with them, don't
- 1:13:42Speaker 2: accept any charges, and then go change all of my
- 1:13:45Speaker 2: information because of that.
- 1:13:47Speaker 1: So it's it's a.
- 1:13:49Speaker 2: Very very big deal that women don't understand with you know,
- 1:13:53Speaker 2: what can happen with with these these information harvesting apps,
- 1:13:59Speaker 2: and you know, like, like I said, TikTok, TikTok isn't
- 1:14:03Speaker 2: the problem. TikTok is like the little face on the
- 1:14:08Speaker 2: front of the forehead of the giant heaping monster that
- 1:14:13Speaker 2: nobody's looking at because they see that nice little no mask.
- 1:14:18Speaker 2: That's that's really a very serious situation that has not
- 1:14:22Speaker 2: been addressed by pretty much most Western nations. It's a
- 1:14:27Speaker 2: vulnerability that we should be scared as hell about. And
- 1:14:32Speaker 2: people getting pissed off that TikTok got shut down are
- 1:14:35Speaker 2: not seeing the bigger picture. And people getting feeling successful
- 1:14:40Speaker 2: because TikTok got shut down for a little while, they're
- 1:14:42Speaker 2: not seeing the bigger picture either.
- 1:14:48Speaker 4: So I don't think she's critical of TikTok. I think
- 1:14:54Speaker 4: that she well, let's let's listen, because the thing is
- 1:14:57Speaker 4: TikTok being block and it was only for a short time.
- 1:15:00Speaker 5: Obviously it's back up, No, TikTok being blocked was.
- 1:15:06Speaker 4: Uh, she's making the case for TikTok, so you know
- 1:15:11Speaker 4: what I mean, because she's baking the case for being
- 1:15:13Speaker 4: an influencer, and she gets all of her all of
- 1:15:17Speaker 4: her material comes from trends on TikTok, So she's obviously
- 1:15:20Speaker 4: pro TikTok, probably pro China. Just saying but anyway, the
- 1:15:26Speaker 4: other there's a lot of Look, there's a lot of
- 1:15:29Speaker 4: Chinese propaganda on the internet right and some of it
- 1:15:32Speaker 4: is covert, some of it is over, but let's see
- 1:15:36Speaker 4: it is hilarious.
- 1:15:37Speaker 3: Yeah, on January nineteenth. The stage has been set since
- 1:15:41Speaker 3: last year or even before that. Last year, Congress moved
- 1:15:44Speaker 3: to force TikTok's parent company by Dance to sell it
- 1:15:46Speaker 3: stick in the app or be cut off from the
- 1:15:48Speaker 3: US market, giving the company a deadline of January nineteenth,
- 1:15:52Speaker 3: And then on January nineteenth, we got that notification popping
- 1:15:55Speaker 3: up whenever we open TikTok. But if you've been following
- 1:15:57Speaker 3: the news or you are on TikTok like the bandit
- 1:15:59Speaker 3: at last, it was only for a couple hours, not
- 1:16:02Speaker 3: even twenty four hours. Nevertheless, prior to the retraction of
- 1:16:07Speaker 3: the ban, or prior to the ban, many US creators
- 1:16:11Speaker 3: whose livelihoods were on TikTok expressed their worries. If you're
- 1:16:14Speaker 3: not a creator, you're not an influencer. If you're a viewer,
- 1:16:17Speaker 3: the band just means you have to move to a
- 1:16:19Speaker 3: different app for your short form content. But for these
- 1:16:22Speaker 3: content creators, these influencers, the ban is a significant disruption
- 1:16:26Speaker 3: on their livelihoods. And what's alarming is that we're seeing,
- 1:16:31Speaker 3: all right.
- 1:16:31Speaker 5: I'm just pausing for the ban because she's a little
- 1:16:33Speaker 5: long winded.
- 1:16:34Speaker 2: But fish, it's really like she's making the argument that
- 1:16:40Speaker 2: people had a reason to be to object to what
- 1:16:45Speaker 2: was genuinely a safety measure. Because that this was how
- 1:16:51Speaker 2: they make their living. But does she have that same
- 1:16:56Speaker 2: sympathy for roughnecks who's who lost their job, you know,
- 1:17:01Speaker 2: because of bands on offshore oil drilling. Does she have
- 1:17:06Speaker 2: that that same sympathy for people who work in oil
- 1:17:08Speaker 2: processing plants and people who work whose jobs were destroyed
- 1:17:13Speaker 2: when when Biden decided, gosh, what was the name of
- 1:17:17Speaker 2: that pipeline that he decided was just not gonna happen,
- 1:17:20Speaker 2: the Keystone pipeline, the Keystone pipeline. Yeah, we we haven't
- 1:17:26Speaker 2: seen any admission about the United States bombing Nordstrom or
- 1:17:33Speaker 2: being involved in the incident with a Nordstrom pipeline, but
- 1:17:39Speaker 2: if that's the one under underwater that was destroyed, but
- 1:17:44Speaker 2: there's always been that suspicion that it was our three
- 1:17:47Speaker 2: letter agencies, right, But the Keystone Pipeline was Biden just
- 1:17:53Speaker 2: flat out made an executive order and said this will
- 1:17:55Speaker 2: not happen. And you know, hundreds of men lost their jobs,
- 1:18:00Speaker 2: possibly thousands, because there's the men who do that job directly.
- 1:18:04Speaker 2: Then there's the men who transport the oil. There's the
- 1:18:09Speaker 2: men who work at the locations where the oil is
- 1:18:12Speaker 2: going to be transported to, and so there's that cascading effect.
- 1:18:18Speaker 2: But yeah, I wonder if she has sympathy for them,
- 1:18:21Speaker 2: the same sympathy that she has for TikTok creators.
- 1:18:25Speaker 4: I'm gonna go on a limb and say no, all right,
- 1:18:29Speaker 4: so uh yeah, let's listen to some.
- 1:18:32Speaker 3: More of this, A glaring lack of empathy towards these
- 1:18:36Speaker 3: creators before the band was going to be an effect,
- 1:18:38Speaker 3: Like we're all just waiting for it to happen. A
- 1:18:41Speaker 3: lot of people are poking fun at the fact that
- 1:18:43Speaker 3: now that TikTok's going to get banned, a lot of
- 1:18:46Speaker 3: the influencers will now have to get a quote unquote
- 1:18:48Speaker 3: real job. And this whole situation just shows that, to
- 1:18:52Speaker 3: this day, despite the valid economic impact of influencing, influencing
- 1:18:57Speaker 3: still gets such a bad rap, with people claiming that
- 1:19:00Speaker 3: it's not a real job or questioning how these people
- 1:19:04Speaker 3: contribute to society. So quote twenty twenty two comments, Harry
- 1:19:07Speaker 3: you written.
- 1:19:09Speaker 2: Now be an actor or a radio personality.
- 1:19:14Speaker 1: Or somebody or yeah, or somebody who has a job
- 1:19:18Speaker 1: that might be replaced by AI.
- 1:19:20Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, what's the what's the refrain that we all
- 1:19:25Speaker 2: got told when when roughnecks are losing their jobs and
- 1:19:29Speaker 2: factory workers in the code Yeah, learned to code, Learn
- 1:19:32Speaker 2: to code. Everybody gets told to get get a real job.
- 1:19:35Speaker 2: Right as soon as your job is disposable in some
- 1:19:39Speaker 2: way or another, it's it becomes not a real job
- 1:19:43Speaker 2: to some segment of the population, and it's it's not
- 1:19:48Speaker 2: very good phrasing for your job is does not have
- 1:19:52Speaker 2: the level of job security that some other jobs have.
- 1:19:56Speaker 2: But if you're going to go into a job that
- 1:19:58Speaker 2: you know doesn't have Because influencers can lose their jobs
- 1:20:03Speaker 2: because they got canceled. All they have to do is
- 1:20:07Speaker 2: use the wrong word once, or try a product and
- 1:20:12Speaker 2: like it and tell everybody they like it. And then
- 1:20:14Speaker 2: that product turns out to have some ingredient that it
- 1:20:18Speaker 2: you know, causes cancer, or the product doesn't do everything
- 1:20:22Speaker 2: it says, or a lot of people are allergic to it,
- 1:20:25Speaker 2: and the influencer has lost their influence. And if you
- 1:20:28Speaker 2: lose your influence, you lose your job, you know. And
- 1:20:31Speaker 2: similarly with people who work in visual entertainment, if their
- 1:20:37Speaker 2: physical appearance changes dramatically, something happens and they can't do
- 1:20:41Speaker 2: that job anymore, they lose their job. When Julie Andrews
- 1:20:47Speaker 2: had to have a surgery that affected the way that
- 1:20:51Speaker 2: her vocal cords worked. It changed the work that she
- 1:20:55Speaker 2: could do right, and you could see it because she
- 1:20:59Speaker 2: did a duet with Carol Burnett after that happened, and
- 1:21:03Speaker 2: she no longer could hit the high notes. It was
- 1:21:06Speaker 2: kind of heartbreaking because you know, she's got a very
- 1:21:08Speaker 2: beautiful voice that is fun to listen to, and she
- 1:21:12Speaker 2: couldn't use it to it to its full extent anymore.
- 1:21:17Speaker 2: But it also affected her in that way. I didn't
- 1:21:20Speaker 2: hear her ever whine about it. You have to understand,
- 1:21:25Speaker 2: like I work as a direct support professional for intellectually
- 1:21:29Speaker 2: disabled adults, Okay, the overwhelming majority of them have significantly
- 1:21:35Speaker 2: impacting health problems. And if you focus entirely on one client,
- 1:21:40Speaker 2: your client's age, your patient's age, the people that you
- 1:21:44Speaker 2: work with, and just like working in a nursing home,
- 1:21:48Speaker 2: people age out, their health problems take them, or their
- 1:21:52Speaker 2: age takes them and they pass away, or they need
- 1:21:55Speaker 2: care that you can't provide anymore. You better be ready
- 1:21:58Speaker 2: to go on to a new person and not be
- 1:22:00Speaker 2: hung up on I can't do this anymore because that person,
- 1:22:05Speaker 2: or if there's not enough work for you, you better be
- 1:22:09Speaker 2: ready to go to a different job. And that's just
- 1:22:12Speaker 2: the way of life. So it's not that I don't
- 1:22:15Speaker 2: feel sorry for influencers that might lose their jobs in
- 1:22:17Speaker 2: that circumstance, but this is an outlook that men usually
- 1:22:22Speaker 2: have with their jobs. Right, what's your backup plan?
- 1:22:27Speaker 3: Yeah?
- 1:22:27Speaker 2: A lot of times, these these different influencers don't have
- 1:22:31Speaker 2: that backup plan. And it's because I think women are
- 1:22:34Speaker 2: just not used to having to make the backup plan.
- 1:22:39Speaker 2: Their their guy is their backup plan. And you know
- 1:22:43Speaker 2: that you have to you have to learn better or
- 1:22:48Speaker 2: when things like this happen and they inevitably will, you're screwed.
- 1:22:53Speaker 1: Mm yep, Okay, well let's do a bit more. How
- 1:22:58Speaker 1: many time calls do you have for this one?
- 1:23:03Speaker 5: Just a couple?
- 1:23:03Speaker 4: I mean, I figure we only need a couple per videos.
- 1:23:06Speaker 4: So we're gonna learn now why influencer is in particularly important?
- 1:23:15Speaker 5: Well, I think you guys can guess.
- 1:23:16Speaker 3: Value one industry, one form of labor, and we participate
- 1:23:21Speaker 3: in devaluing that one industry, that one form of labor.
- 1:23:24Speaker 3: We devalue all industries, all forms of labor performed by women.
- 1:23:29Speaker 3: We devalue ourselves and let.
- 1:23:31Speaker 1: What so now, influencing is just done by women.
- 1:23:35Speaker 2: Yes, there's a lot of male influencers out there, don't just.
- 1:23:39Speaker 5: They don't count.
- 1:23:40Speaker 2: They don't.
- 1:23:42Speaker 5: They don't count.
- 1:23:43Speaker 4: And this is a woman thing. You guys got to
- 1:23:45Speaker 4: stop stop coping. It's a woman thing. Women dominate. This
- 1:23:49Speaker 4: is manifestol said, So we're now that's just it women.
- 1:23:53Speaker 4: It's influencing is a woman's domain.
- 1:23:56Speaker 5: Men not allowed. I mean, they can't compare or something.
- 1:23:59Speaker 1: So some people are saying that your job isn't a job.
- 1:24:02Speaker 1: Who gives a.
- 1:24:03Speaker 4: Crap, No, no, no, it has to be validated. It
- 1:24:07Speaker 4: has to be understood to be a not just like
- 1:24:10Speaker 4: a not just like a legitimate job, but a really, really,
- 1:24:13Speaker 4: really important one. And that's even more important than the
- 1:24:17Speaker 4: job itself paying anything you see is the saddus that
- 1:24:20Speaker 4: comes with it.
- 1:24:21Speaker 5: That's what really matters. That's how you put food on
- 1:24:24Speaker 5: the table and pay the rent and all that. You know.
- 1:24:27Speaker 1: I mean, no matter no matter what you do, if
- 1:24:30Speaker 1: you're making income, it's because somebody cares about it. Now,
- 1:24:33Speaker 1: we can talk about the ethics of a lot of
- 1:24:35Speaker 1: jobs out there and whether or not they're they are
- 1:24:38Speaker 1: they're doing what they say they do or if they're
- 1:24:42Speaker 1: exploiting things that maybe are unfortunate, like feminist NGOs. But ultimately,
- 1:24:50Speaker 1: if you're being paid to do it, it's a job.
- 1:24:52Speaker 1: If you have to pay income tax, it's a job, right,
- 1:24:55Speaker 1: And it doesn't matter what rando's on the internet say,
- 1:24:59Speaker 1: because often that's motivated by jealousy. Who gives a crap?
- 1:25:03Speaker 1: You know?
- 1:25:04Speaker 2: Okay to be able to shake that off, all right.
- 1:25:12Speaker 3: Apparently influencing isn't a new thing. Influencing can actually be
- 1:25:15Speaker 3: traced back to ancient civilizations, where prominent figures and leaders
- 1:25:18Speaker 3: influence public opinion and suer behavior. For instance, adorn themselves
- 1:25:24Speaker 3: with extravagant jewelry and luxurious attire, which would that set
- 1:25:28Speaker 3: transfer their subjects.
- 1:25:29Speaker 4: Yeah, so the pharaohs, you see, they affected their societies
- 1:25:33Speaker 4: not because they were literally like you know, an avatar
- 1:25:37Speaker 4: of their deity, but because they were influencers.
- 1:25:41Speaker 5: That's what a pharaoh is, just an influencer.
- 1:25:43Speaker 8: Guys, Like, it's not like the Empress, the Empress of
- 1:25:48Speaker 8: Japan that made her teeth that black teeth, only calls
- 1:25:52Speaker 8: other women to get black.
- 1:25:53Speaker 4: Teeth because she's an influencer and she has so many
- 1:25:56Speaker 4: followers and got so many likes on her, on her
- 1:25:59Speaker 4: like you know, on her on her yeah, on her
- 1:26:02Speaker 4: drawings or whatever. No, no, no, it's not because she's
- 1:26:05Speaker 4: like royalty and people were just like, I want to
- 1:26:07Speaker 4: be like her because she's royalty, or I'm scared, so
- 1:26:10Speaker 4: I'm gonna I'm afraid of their power, so I'm gonna
- 1:26:12Speaker 4: emulate them. No, no, no, it's because they're influencers. They got
- 1:26:15Speaker 4: a lot of likes and refoul is.
- 1:26:18Speaker 2: She has a point. Throughout history, there have always been
- 1:26:22Speaker 2: people that other people have looked to to set the trends.
- 1:26:26Speaker 2: They didn't always get paid for that though it wasn't
- 1:26:28Speaker 2: their goal, it wasn't the their profession, it was an
- 1:26:32Speaker 2: effect of their profession. For example, we grew up with
- 1:26:40Speaker 2: you know, valley girls speak totally grody, you know, grossed
- 1:26:43Speaker 2: me out, gave me with a spoon, people calling each
- 1:26:47Speaker 2: other dude. I think came out of that. And and
- 1:26:50Speaker 2: as you go through different movies throughout the whole gen
- 1:26:56Speaker 2: X time period of youth, there was a lot of
- 1:27:00Speaker 2: of movie lingo, movie slang that wasn't part of popular
- 1:27:06Speaker 2: culture popular slang till after that movie came out, and
- 1:27:11Speaker 2: you would see whole groups of people adopting it right,
- 1:27:14Speaker 2: usually younger, But that's influence, and a lot of that
- 1:27:18Speaker 2: influence had to do with how popular the stars were,
- 1:27:22Speaker 2: or how compelling the plot of the movie was and
- 1:27:25Speaker 2: so on. It just wasn't the goal, right, It wasn't.
- 1:27:30Speaker 2: They didn't make Valley Girl to get all the kids
- 1:27:33Speaker 2: in the United States talking like they had an IQ
- 1:27:36Speaker 2: of three. They made Valley Girl to tell a story,
- 1:27:41Speaker 2: and they didn't, I don't know. They didn't make Bill
- 1:27:45Speaker 2: and Ted's Excellent Adventure to get all of the kids
- 1:27:48Speaker 2: in the country talking like they were high. They made
- 1:27:51Speaker 2: it to entertain people and entertainers and politicians and the wealthy,
- 1:27:58Speaker 2: and you know, so on. They've always been. You could
- 1:28:02Speaker 2: describe their effect as being influencers. But I think what
- 1:28:07Speaker 2: she's making a mistake is that she's treating it at
- 1:28:11Speaker 2: the same as people who make a job out of
- 1:28:14Speaker 2: going on the internet and showing things to people and
- 1:28:19Speaker 2: then becoming popular showing things to people, and it becomes
- 1:28:24Speaker 2: their whole job showing things to people to get this
- 1:28:27Speaker 2: to become popular, or showing things to people to get
- 1:28:29Speaker 2: that to be popular, and they get paid for it.
- 1:28:32Speaker 2: They're doing basically product placement like used to be done
- 1:28:37Speaker 2: in movies, and product placement was a very lucrative business,
- 1:28:40Speaker 2: by the way, and that's one of the reasons why
- 1:28:46Speaker 2: we remember well ET's candy, right, that was a big
- 1:28:54Speaker 2: one commercials ets candy, ets candy. There was a there
- 1:28:59Speaker 2: was a business deal around that, right, and another company
- 1:29:02Speaker 2: turned that down and then kicked themselves for years afterward.
- 1:29:06Speaker 2: And because I made the mistake of reading the ET book,
- 1:29:11Speaker 2: I can't remember which one was which M and m's
- 1:29:15Speaker 2: are Reese's pieces in the movie. The book was written
- 1:29:19Speaker 2: based on the movie. It was not. It didn't originate,
- 1:29:21Speaker 2: but I didn't know that when I read the book,
- 1:29:23Speaker 2: so I thought, oh, this, this movie was great. I
- 1:29:26Speaker 2: have to read the book. No, I didn't have to
- 1:29:28Speaker 2: read the book. But yeah, those those kinds of things
- 1:29:32Speaker 2: have existed throughout history. They just haven't been a profession
- 1:29:38Speaker 2: throughout history. And I think in this this day and age,
- 1:29:41Speaker 2: we are seeing it become become a profession. I don't
- 1:29:45Speaker 2: know how long it's going to last, because we are
- 1:29:47Speaker 2: already seeing AI replacing influencers and uh, I guess I'm
- 1:29:54Speaker 2: going to repeat. Influencers need a backup plan because regardless
- 1:30:00Speaker 2: of how things have been throughout history, and regardless of
- 1:30:03Speaker 2: how things are now. The future does not look good
- 1:30:08Speaker 2: for this. It doesn't. It doesn't look good for anything
- 1:30:13Speaker 2: that can be replaced by AI fakery.
- 1:30:18Speaker 1: Yeah, which is means that our jobs are pretty safe
- 1:30:21Speaker 1: because AI is never going to go go and say
- 1:30:24Speaker 1: the stuff that we stay.
- 1:30:26Speaker 2: Not in a million unless it's programmed to.
- 1:30:28Speaker 5: I'm just.
- 1:30:30Speaker 2: AI.
- 1:30:31Speaker 1: I'm just looking at somebody, uh at riba fluff and
- 1:30:35Speaker 1: he's he's throwing shade on this stream. I'm like, it's
- 1:30:37Speaker 1: not a real job. I'm just I'm living a life
- 1:30:40Speaker 1: like I'm doing my job and I'm scratching.
- 1:30:43Speaker 2: Scratch real beer.
- 1:30:46Speaker 1: Yeah I can't.
- 1:30:47Speaker 2: I can't have real beer anymore because I'm a wimp
- 1:30:51Speaker 2: with bad kidneys. So and also this, this is not
- 1:30:56Speaker 2: my main job. I work at night. I came home
- 1:30:59Speaker 2: from a night shift last night that was nine hours long,
- 1:31:03Speaker 2: took an hour nap, and then now I'm doing this
- 1:31:06Speaker 2: so you could go fuck yourself.
- 1:31:09Speaker 1: Yeah, Unfortunately, my my dog got into my garbage. Let's
- 1:31:13Speaker 1: stay over the garbage he came over for. He came
- 1:31:17Speaker 1: over for scretches. So for a while there I was
- 1:31:19Speaker 1: just sitting there listening to you, Hannah and giving him
- 1:31:21Speaker 1: a scratch, and then he's just like, uh, oh wait,
- 1:31:23Speaker 1: I want to find something to crinkle. What's in the garbage?
- 1:31:27Speaker 1: But yeah, this is uh.
- 1:31:29Speaker 2: That's kind of what it's like checking the vertical chat.
- 1:31:32Speaker 1: Mm hmm, yeah, it's it's yeah, we always get some
- 1:31:34Speaker 1: something interesting in the vertical chat, as we did last year.
- 1:31:39Speaker 1: I think the all the stuff around the election really
- 1:31:44Speaker 1: had people moving around in there. But the other thing
- 1:31:47Speaker 1: I wanted to point out was women who were influencers
- 1:31:50Speaker 1: in past not influencers, sorry, the women who were part
- 1:31:54Speaker 1: of the aristocracy had an essential role to play in
- 1:31:58Speaker 1: retaining the stability of their culture or through this influence.
- 1:32:01Speaker 1: They didn't just influence, you know, like oh they wore
- 1:32:04Speaker 1: great like beautiful jewelry. They were also expected to engage
- 1:32:09Speaker 1: in charity and charitable works and be part of the
- 1:32:14Speaker 1: intellectual scenes. So they're supposed to patron the arts and
- 1:32:18Speaker 1: do stuff like that, you know. And and also they
- 1:32:22Speaker 1: were expected to advance their their family's interests above their own.
- 1:32:28Speaker 1: So like these these these women they had a lot
- 1:32:30Speaker 1: more to and if they didn't, if the influences of
- 1:32:33Speaker 1: their time didn't influence the culture and positive directions it collapsed.
- 1:32:39Speaker 1: That's something to consider as well. You know, they ended
- 1:32:43Speaker 1: up being invaded by the Holy Roman Empire. But you know,
- 1:32:47Speaker 1: like this is this is this is there. There is
- 1:32:49Speaker 1: an actual meritocracy to influencing. You got to influence the
- 1:32:53Speaker 1: women below you to do things and engage in behaviors
- 1:32:58Speaker 1: that support the system rather than destroy it. I'll leave
- 1:33:03Speaker 1: it as an exercise to the viewer whether today's influencers
- 1:33:06Speaker 1: are actually of the type that encourage positive participation in
- 1:33:13Speaker 1: the culture or are actually destructive and chaotic elements and
- 1:33:20Speaker 1: not the good kind of chaos either. All Right, we'll get.
- 1:33:24Speaker 2: Into the just to mention for the tide pod challenge here,
- 1:33:28Speaker 2: that's all I'm gonna say.
- 1:33:30Speaker 1: Oh good lord.
- 1:33:31Speaker 4: All right, yeah, so this is this section is we're
- 1:33:34Speaker 4: goinging into the gender dynamics of influencing.
- 1:33:37Speaker 1: So we're gonnam here.
- 1:33:39Speaker 5: Okay, So here we go.
- 1:33:42Speaker 3: Greek philosophers like Socrates and Plato exerted their influence through
- 1:33:45Speaker 3: their philosophical beliefs and teachings, which undeniably shaped their society's
- 1:33:50Speaker 3: norms and values. Are you Marcus Aurelius still exerts his
- 1:33:55Speaker 3: influence to this day. These people, Socrates, Plato, Marcus Aurelius.
- 1:34:01Speaker 4: You know, the word influencer is doing a lot of
- 1:34:04Speaker 4: heavy lifting for this analogy.
- 1:34:07Speaker 5: Like, it's just it's.
- 1:34:09Speaker 4: Not because they were great men who therefore were followed
- 1:34:13Speaker 4: for being great men. No, no, no, it's because they
- 1:34:16Speaker 4: were hustling on whatever the ancient Greek version.
- 1:34:20Speaker 5: Of TikTok was. That would be, yeah, carving on tablets,
- 1:34:28Speaker 5: and even then it was all right.
- 1:34:35Speaker 4: Anyway, I'm just saying, imagine, imagine being Manifestel and comparing
- 1:34:42Speaker 4: her content to Marcus Aurelius. Just imagine thinking, oh, these
- 1:34:47Speaker 4: are basically the same. I'm basically a philosopher king, I'm
- 1:34:51Speaker 4: basically you know, Aristotle, because I'm on TikTok telling girls
- 1:34:56Speaker 4: to get that bag while securing their own bag. I'm
- 1:34:59Speaker 4: basically the same as fucking Nietzsche, you know. And I'm
- 1:35:03Speaker 4: mama on par with these great thinkers. I'm basically the same, guys.
- 1:35:07Speaker 5: So that's a.
- 1:35:09Speaker 1: Step down from comparing herself to a living god in
- 1:35:12Speaker 1: the form of a pharaoh.
- 1:35:14Speaker 5: Yeah right, yeah, even then.
- 1:35:15Speaker 1: Right, I think we need to call ego control because
- 1:35:19Speaker 1: someone's ego is out of control. Anyway, Let's go ahead.
- 1:35:25Speaker 3: Anyway for the intellectual influencers of their day, and they're
- 1:35:30Speaker 3: still intellectual influencers today because people still read them today.
- 1:35:33Speaker 3: And let me get on this one, beef, I have.
- 1:35:35Speaker 3: I love the term intellectual influencer because there's people, especially
- 1:35:40Speaker 3: on YouTube. I don't know why it's a YouTube thing.
- 1:35:42Speaker 3: YouTubers don't like calling themselves influencers. They think they're above that.
- 1:35:45Speaker 3: They're like, you know, they have a little they have
- 1:35:48Speaker 3: a little sauty factor when it comes to the term qu.
- 1:35:52Speaker 5: I mean, is that really elitists like.
- 1:35:55Speaker 2: Not really known. If you don't like a particular label.
- 1:35:58Speaker 4: Well if you don't think if you don't think it fits,
- 1:36:00Speaker 4: because like I think of influencers with people who are like,
- 1:36:03Speaker 4: you should buy these clothes, you should wear this makeup,
- 1:36:06Speaker 4: you should listen to this music.
- 1:36:08Speaker 2: I'm alter started on Instagram, not YouTube. It started with
- 1:36:13Speaker 2: women showcasing their lifestyles and people going, oh, I like
- 1:36:18Speaker 2: that blouse. Where did you get that blouse? And enough
- 1:36:22Speaker 2: people started buying things because this woman or that woman
- 1:36:26Speaker 2: was wearing it or using it or eating it or whatever.
- 1:36:32Speaker 2: That companies started paying women to photograph or video themselves
- 1:36:37Speaker 2: with these things and do reviews. And so on, and
- 1:36:40Speaker 2: it became you know, lucrative. It didn't have anything like
- 1:36:45Speaker 2: YouTube was a totally different story. The app it was
- 1:36:50Speaker 2: created specifically because people could not share videos on various
- 1:36:55Speaker 2: platforms if they were copyrighted. It's kind of ironic now
- 1:36:59Speaker 2: because you know, the YouTube steals from creators by paying
- 1:37:06Speaker 2: companies that falsely claim copyright for content that is the
- 1:37:11Speaker 2: creator's original content. And it's an actual major problem on
- 1:37:15Speaker 2: YouTube for a lot of creators that create original music
- 1:37:19Speaker 2: and original do original storytelling and stuff like that. There
- 1:37:23Speaker 2: have been a lot of creators that have been hit
- 1:37:25Speaker 2: by a couple of certain companies that skim and there's
- 1:37:29Speaker 2: not a very good appeal system for it. So that's
- 1:37:32Speaker 2: the sort of come full circle from we're going to
- 1:37:35Speaker 2: be the way around this problem too. We are the problem.
- 1:37:39Speaker 2: But it evolved through various like it was more meme
- 1:37:43Speaker 2: culture and people trying to share their creativity with each other,
- 1:37:50Speaker 2: and it wasn't about any of that. You know, oh,
- 1:37:53Speaker 2: I'm going to get paid to wear this shirt so
- 1:37:55Speaker 2: that other people want to buy this shirt and stuff
- 1:37:58Speaker 2: like that. Of course, youtubeobers don't want to call themselves influencers.
- 1:38:03Speaker 2: Influencer culture didn't evolve on YouTube. It hit YouTube eventually.
- 1:38:08Speaker 2: There's a lot of makeup influencers on YouTube and stuff
- 1:38:10Speaker 2: like that now, and there's a lot of political influencers
- 1:38:13Speaker 2: on YouTube. But it was a culture that came into YouTube,
- 1:38:17Speaker 2: not a culture that came out of YouTube.
- 1:38:20Speaker 1: Yeah, so okay, let's uh, okay, more, yeah, more, just
- 1:38:26Speaker 1: maybe I don't know what benefit we're going to get
- 1:38:29Speaker 1: out of this time code, but let's let's finish it
- 1:38:31Speaker 1: all right.
- 1:38:32Speaker 3: Coobers don't like calling themselves influencers. It's the same labor.
- 1:38:35Speaker 3: We're gonna get into why that is. Okay, Like, I
- 1:38:38Speaker 3: know if people have theorized the differences between content creators
- 1:38:42Speaker 3: and influencers, which is which? But I would say they're
- 1:38:46Speaker 3: the same. And it's a special brand of misogyny to
- 1:38:50Speaker 3: call women influencers, but men content creators and women who
- 1:38:55Speaker 3: shy away from the term influencers because it is associated.
- 1:38:59Speaker 1: Really the way Wait wait, nobody does that. Nobody does that.
- 1:39:04Speaker 1: Nobody is doing that manifesto except you. Right now, If
- 1:39:09Speaker 1: men don't want to be called influencers, they want to
- 1:39:11Speaker 1: be called content creators because they create content, which is well,
- 1:39:15Speaker 1: influencing is getting people to buy shit, right, Like, we
- 1:39:20Speaker 1: are not here, for example, on this podcast, to get
- 1:39:23Speaker 1: people to buy shit. We're here to explain legal stuff,
- 1:39:28Speaker 1: social stuff, social realities that make that don't get play
- 1:39:32Speaker 1: because they are well, let's face it, the US government
- 1:39:35Speaker 1: exports feminism and we are the We are the opposite.
- 1:39:39Speaker 1: We are the anti whatever they're trying to export. So
- 1:39:42Speaker 1: it doesn't Our stuff doesn't get a lot of play.
- 1:39:44Speaker 1: So what do we do. We have these shows to
- 1:39:46Speaker 1: talk about things that nobody wants to talk about nobody
- 1:39:50Speaker 1: And that's not us saying, oh, I want you to
- 1:39:53Speaker 1: buy something like I mean, we we'd canvass our audience
- 1:39:58Speaker 1: to say, hey, do you want us to canad to
- 1:40:00Speaker 1: talk about this stuff, then please support us. But that's
- 1:40:03Speaker 1: not the same. I mean, nobody's gonna buy my old
- 1:40:06Speaker 1: navy my scrubby old navy jacket because I've been wearing it.
- 1:40:09Speaker 1: Nobody's gonna buy my welding goggles because oh I also
- 1:40:13Speaker 1: have in Migraine. Nobody's gonna buy this cheap ass freakin'duke.
- 1:40:18Speaker 1: We're not influencing people to buy shit, right, and to
- 1:40:22Speaker 1: extend to like Brian was saying, using the word influence
- 1:40:26Speaker 1: to create the d do you even more heavy lifting
- 1:40:28Speaker 1: and saying Marcus Aerulius was an influencer. It is ridiculous.
- 1:40:31Speaker 1: Marcus Aerulius wasn't getting people to buy shit either.
- 1:40:35Speaker 2: Just use your term.
- 1:40:36Speaker 1: Be fine with it. I don't even think the Manifestella
- 1:40:38Speaker 1: is necessarily an influencer because is she really getting people
- 1:40:42Speaker 1: to buy shit? I mean, she's getting people to buy
- 1:40:45Speaker 1: a stupid concept, but that's not the same as a
- 1:40:47Speaker 1: consumer could she's a contact creator? Just be okay with that.
- 1:40:54Speaker 1: And again, she's making victimhood where there is none. It's
- 1:40:57Speaker 1: amazing how women like this can make victimhood everywhere. It's
- 1:41:03Speaker 1: like they're superpower.
- 1:41:05Speaker 5: Okay, not that's what they're selling.
- 1:41:07Speaker 3: That's what they're selling, Okay, female creators who call themselves
- 1:41:12Speaker 3: content creators instead of influencers, and like, really just shy
- 1:41:15Speaker 3: away from that. And I was guilty of this, okay,
- 1:41:17Speaker 3: Like we are deconstructing all of this in real time.
- 1:41:19Speaker 3: I used to only call myself a content creator of
- 1:41:21Speaker 3: like I'm not influencer. Oh no, I'm not an influencer
- 1:41:24Speaker 3: because of the negative stigma against influencers, Like it's almost
- 1:41:28Speaker 3: embarrassing people that you're an influencer.
- 1:41:31Speaker 2: She's projecting. Basically, she's just explained that her original distaste
- 1:41:37Speaker 2: for the term influencer was was caused by negative connotations
- 1:41:42Speaker 2: around it. Whereas I think a lot of people differentiate
- 1:41:46Speaker 2: between content creators and influencers because not everybody has influence,
- 1:41:53Speaker 2: and if you call yourself an influencer when you don't
- 1:41:55Speaker 2: have any influence, you're kind of being stupid, right, Yeah,
- 1:41:59Speaker 2: clearly she has influence. It's fair to call herself an influencer.
- 1:42:03Speaker 2: It doesn't mean she's not a content creator, but that
- 1:42:06Speaker 2: would be a subtype of content creator. So what she's
- 1:42:11Speaker 2: complaining about is some people call themselves doctors and some
- 1:42:17Speaker 2: people call themselves medical practitioners. You know, Okay, some people
- 1:42:22Speaker 2: are doctors, they are a subtype of medical practitioner. Other
- 1:42:26Speaker 2: people are nurses, nurses' aides, they're they're physical therapists, they're
- 1:42:31Speaker 2: you know, other types of therapists. Like, there's a whole
- 1:42:35Speaker 2: spectrum of jobs within being a medical practitioner. Technically, I
- 1:42:41Speaker 2: am a medical practitioner. I would never call myself a
- 1:42:44Speaker 2: doctor because I don't do what doctors do, and I
- 1:42:49Speaker 2: don't consider myself an influencer either, because if you look
- 1:42:53Speaker 2: at the level of influence this woman has and the
- 1:42:55Speaker 2: number of people who pay attention to what she says
- 1:42:57Speaker 2: and does and imitate her every whatever, And you compare
- 1:43:03Speaker 2: that to what I do, I would think it would
- 1:43:06Speaker 2: be bullshit to call myself an influencer. Right, I'm part
- 1:43:09Speaker 2: of a community, and I think that's fair being able
- 1:43:14Speaker 2: to say it that way. Right, I'm a content creator
- 1:43:16Speaker 2: and I'm part of a community. Do I have some
- 1:43:18Speaker 2: influence a little bit in comparison to this woman in
- 1:43:23Speaker 2: my community? There are other people who have significantly more influence,
- 1:43:27Speaker 2: And I'm comfortable admitting that. And I think she's really
- 1:43:31Speaker 2: upset with people that are comfortable admitting that about themselves.
- 1:43:35Speaker 2: I think that's the problem calling yourself an influencer is
- 1:43:40Speaker 2: the negative connotation that goes with it is ego. And
- 1:43:45Speaker 2: she's mad because she wants to be egotistical without being
- 1:43:52Speaker 2: the only person in the room being egotistical. And if
- 1:43:57Speaker 2: she's the only person in the room being egotistical, then
- 1:44:00Speaker 2: all of a sudden, she's a narcissist. Right, Nobody wants
- 1:44:04Speaker 2: to be called that. Nobody wants to be treated like
- 1:44:06Speaker 2: a narcissist, So everybody else has to be a narcissist
- 1:44:09Speaker 2: with her or it's embarrassing and upsetting and their stigma
- 1:44:14Speaker 2: attached to it, and it's not fair to her the
- 1:44:17Speaker 2: narcissist who wants to be comfortable with her narcissism. That's
- 1:44:22Speaker 2: why she's mad, and she's projecting that onto everybody else.
- 1:44:31Speaker 1: All right, let me see, I just felt like there
- 1:44:35Speaker 1: is an alarming lack of dogg o content. Yeah, he's
- 1:44:42Speaker 1: the true influencer here. Yeah all right, so yeah, hopefully
- 1:44:50Speaker 1: that's not too loud.
- 1:44:51Speaker 4: The evaluation of women's labor all right.
- 1:44:55Speaker 1: Yeah, all mute, so you don't have to.
- 1:44:58Speaker 3: That's ultimately what this is and why it's because time
- 1:45:02Speaker 3: and time again, it is so much easier and safer
- 1:45:06Speaker 3: to hate on women. Like if people are gonna hate,
- 1:45:08Speaker 3: at least bring the same energy to people who do
- 1:45:10Speaker 3: the exact same thing. And this gets us into the
- 1:45:12Speaker 3: misogyny of it all. To quote a Substack article titled
- 1:45:15Speaker 3: the hatred of Influencers is gendered. There may be a
- 1:45:18Speaker 3: legit reason why the image of influencers is so heavily
- 1:45:21Speaker 3: female if you think about it. Who but a stay
- 1:45:24Speaker 3: at home housewife is better equipped to put on an
- 1:45:26Speaker 3: aspirational life on display for the rest of the world.
- 1:45:29Speaker 3: We live in a society where women still make less
- 1:45:31Speaker 3: than men, where it's still far more common to see
- 1:45:34Speaker 3: a woman stay home to raise children. At most of
- 1:45:36Speaker 3: the events, I'm one of one or two guys, which
- 1:45:39Speaker 3: is fine, I love hanging out with women, but also
- 1:45:41Speaker 3: shows that, at least in the very visible home space,
- 1:45:44Speaker 3: lifestyle influencers tend to skew female, which brings me to
- 1:45:47Speaker 3: my whole theory about why influencers are so hated. It's
- 1:45:50Speaker 3: seen as women's work and we value female labor less
- 1:45:53Speaker 3: than male labor.
- 1:45:55Speaker 2: Literally, as an idiot.
- 1:45:58Speaker 1: Yes, don't sign off on this, miss mister simps simp skimsky,
- 1:46:05Speaker 1: like this, seriously, this is okay.
- 1:46:09Speaker 4: We we value we value women's labor less than men's labor.
- 1:46:14Speaker 2: I work with men about this, which is what I do.
- 1:46:19Speaker 5: Okay, like.
- 1:46:22Speaker 2: This has been my experience my whole life. All right.
- 1:46:25Speaker 2: Women in the feminist movement spend a lot of time
- 1:46:29Speaker 2: telling me how much less I'm getting paid than a
- 1:46:31Speaker 2: men around me, and then I compare notes and when
- 1:46:35Speaker 2: I am in like I the situation I'm in now,
- 1:46:38Speaker 2: I have experienced and work over time that a lot
- 1:46:41Speaker 2: of the guys don't. There's one guy that works overtime
- 1:46:45Speaker 2: like along with me, and he gets paid pretty close. Like,
- 1:46:48Speaker 2: we're pretty much uh the same in terms of getting paid.
- 1:46:52Speaker 2: But I get paid more than a lot of the
- 1:46:55Speaker 2: other women because I work more hours and also because
- 1:47:00Speaker 2: I have experience. I came into the job with experience
- 1:47:03Speaker 2: that they don't have, and I brought that from other
- 1:47:06Speaker 2: healthcare jobs. And this is not gendered, right, This is
- 1:47:13Speaker 2: how women do work and how women sell their work
- 1:47:18Speaker 2: to their employer. What this guy is saying right here
- 1:47:23Speaker 2: is essentially that if women don't do the same kind
- 1:47:27Speaker 2: of work as a man, and if women don't sell
- 1:47:31Speaker 2: their work to their employers as effectively as a man does,
- 1:47:36Speaker 2: that it becomes sexist. And the reason automatically gets changed
- 1:47:42Speaker 2: to because the work is seen as women's work when
- 1:47:45Speaker 2: they don't get paid as much because reasons because feminism,
- 1:47:51Speaker 2: when in reality, they just want to ignore all of
- 1:47:55Speaker 2: the various dynamics that go into that. And when you
- 1:47:58Speaker 2: look at studies on the so called wage gap, what
- 1:48:02Speaker 2: you find is that women don't work as many hours
- 1:48:06Speaker 2: on average as men do. Right, Women don't do the
- 1:48:09Speaker 2: same tasks on average that men do. They don't take
- 1:48:13Speaker 2: the same positions that men do. They don't work the
- 1:48:16Speaker 2: same days that men do. A lot of women ask
- 1:48:18Speaker 2: for weekends off, a lot of women won't work on
- 1:48:21Speaker 2: the night shift. So instead of getting shift differentials, instead
- 1:48:26Speaker 2: of getting extra pay for working on the weekend, instead
- 1:48:29Speaker 2: of getting hazard pay for taking on the difficult and
- 1:48:32Speaker 2: dangerous things, instead of getting incentive pay for taking on
- 1:48:37Speaker 2: gross things that various jobs will actually cover, because that's
- 1:48:44Speaker 2: the only way to get people to do that job right.
- 1:48:47Speaker 2: Women take the office position, the sit down position, the
- 1:48:51Speaker 2: position where they're working with the easy consumer or the
- 1:48:56Speaker 2: easy patient, and then they complain because they're not getting
- 1:49:02Speaker 2: paid as much as the person who's earning hazard pay
- 1:49:05Speaker 2: or other incentive pay or overtime pay or shift differentials.
- 1:49:09Speaker 2: And then they say, well, it's because women's work isn't valued. No,
- 1:49:14Speaker 2: it's because there are some things that you can't get
- 1:49:17Speaker 2: people to do unless you offer them incentive pay. And
- 1:49:21Speaker 2: the people who are more likely to put their sensibilities
- 1:49:25Speaker 2: on the back burner and go do those things, or
- 1:49:30Speaker 2: take the risk, gamble on whether they might get injured
- 1:49:33Speaker 2: and go do those things, give up things they want
- 1:49:37Speaker 2: in life to go do those things are the people
- 1:49:40Speaker 2: who have to pay the bills, and that's usually men.
- 1:49:45Speaker 2: It has absolutely nothing to do with what is seen
- 1:49:47Speaker 2: as women's work and everything to do with what costs
- 1:49:52Speaker 2: more to persuade people. Will you please do this job
- 1:49:56Speaker 2: for us?
- 1:49:58Speaker 1: Can I just point out the DA We just do
- 1:50:00Speaker 1: a video with her describing easier work as spoilt girly
- 1:50:05Speaker 1: women's work, And now she's talking about how women's work
- 1:50:09Speaker 1: is less valued than men's work. Well, yes, because women
- 1:50:12Speaker 1: value their work less than men because they don't take
- 1:50:16Speaker 1: it as seriously. You want to do girl jobs. They
- 1:50:21Speaker 1: want to They want to work at home and do
- 1:50:25Speaker 1: multitasking and do their chores and their side hustles and
- 1:50:28Speaker 1: everything else, everything else, but the job that they're paid for.
- 1:50:32Speaker 1: So you want to put that out there. People are
- 1:50:34Speaker 1: going to value your work less as a woman, Like
- 1:50:37Speaker 1: if you're if you literally say, well, I want because
- 1:50:40Speaker 1: I'm a woman, I want to work one fourth that
- 1:50:43Speaker 1: of a man. Well, people are going to value you less,
- 1:50:46Speaker 1: your labor less if you do one fourth the work period.
- 1:50:49Speaker 1: So and also this guy is just simply mixed Simperston
- 1:50:53Speaker 1: please shut up, Yeah, go simp elsewhere. All right, let's
- 1:50:58Speaker 1: simply make something. Yeah, I hope you guys are enjoying
- 1:51:04Speaker 1: the the extra doggo content.
- 1:51:07Speaker 2: The doggo has gone out of frame.
- 1:51:09Speaker 1: He'll be back in Fraim. I'll just have to I
- 1:51:12Speaker 1: just have to throw the frisbee and then he'll go
- 1:51:14Speaker 1: back in Fraim and you'll get to see him leap.
- 1:51:17Speaker 1: He's a bit of a frenetic animal. Shall we say?
- 1:51:19Speaker 1: All right, let's finish this off, Brian all right.
- 1:51:23Speaker 3: Statistics find that influencing is largely dominated by women, women
- 1:51:27Speaker 3: making up eighty four percent of social media influencers, and
- 1:51:30Speaker 3: it's more than possible that influencing is being devalued and
- 1:51:34Speaker 3: discredited simply because it's become a space for women by women.
- 1:51:39Speaker 3: Vicky Seeger even goes as far to say, if influencer
- 1:51:42Speaker 3: marketing started off dominated by men instead of women, this
- 1:51:45Speaker 3: would be an entirely different business.
- 1:51:47Speaker 2: Okay, stop the wrong, yes to stop there, all right.
- 1:51:50Speaker 2: I don't know what reason she's going to attribute to
- 1:51:54Speaker 2: to why that that that is true, but I will
- 1:51:57Speaker 2: tell you this influencing started out as a female dominated
- 1:52:04Speaker 2: industry because most marketing is done to sell things to women,
- 1:52:10Speaker 2: and it's mostly done to sell things to women that
- 1:52:13Speaker 2: women buy because they want them, not because they need them.
- 1:52:19Speaker 2: This is a huge, huge difference between men and women
- 1:52:23Speaker 2: that women don't understand all Right, Men have throughout history
- 1:52:30Speaker 2: not been allowed to buy things they wanted until after
- 1:52:34Speaker 2: they had covered the costs of things they needed, things
- 1:52:38Speaker 2: their wives needed and wanted, and their kids needed and wanted.
- 1:52:44Speaker 2: And then if there was some money left over, and
- 1:52:46Speaker 2: if the thing they wanted was something that society wouldn't
- 1:52:49Speaker 2: just condemn the shit out of them for wanting and
- 1:52:52Speaker 2: having and using, they might get to buy things they wanted,
- 1:52:57Speaker 2: especially if they could justify the the reason they want
- 1:53:01Speaker 2: it is because it makes their work easier, right, And
- 1:53:04Speaker 2: that's always been the case for men. It's never been
- 1:53:09Speaker 2: the case for women. It's always been the case for men.
- 1:53:12Speaker 2: Women would have to be dirt poor before that they
- 1:53:15Speaker 2: have that situation. Right, As long as women have just
- 1:53:20Speaker 2: a little bit of money, they buy things just because
- 1:53:24Speaker 2: they want them, and they never actually consider whether their
- 1:53:29Speaker 2: male partner gets to do the same. And when men
- 1:53:34Speaker 2: do make purchases that they don't need for work and
- 1:53:39Speaker 2: they don't need to fix their house with it, you know,
- 1:53:42Speaker 2: they don't need it for medical purposes, They don't need
- 1:53:46Speaker 2: it because it's clothing, and it's it's something that they
- 1:53:50Speaker 2: want for fun, like a game system or a more
- 1:53:53Speaker 2: expensive car than they have to buy, or you know,
- 1:53:57Speaker 2: any set of clothing that is just for or anything
- 1:54:01Speaker 2: like that. They get criticized for it. They get treated
- 1:54:04Speaker 2: like self indulgent children for just one little purchase like that,
- 1:54:09Speaker 2: or even one major purchase that is going to be
- 1:54:12Speaker 2: their entire source of entertainment for years. Right, So, of
- 1:54:19Speaker 2: course influencing evolved around women. You know, you can't, John
- 1:54:25Speaker 2: Doe says guns. I'm not even sure guns can be
- 1:54:28Speaker 2: put into the category of stuff that men buy just
- 1:54:32Speaker 2: because they want them, because guns have a very solid,
- 1:54:36Speaker 2: very responsibility laden purpose. They're they're very heavy, They're not
- 1:54:42Speaker 2: a lightweight purchase by any stretch of the imagination, and
- 1:54:46Speaker 2: men get treated like babies for wanting them, even though
- 1:54:53Speaker 2: the man is obligated to be the protector in his
- 1:54:56Speaker 2: home right. So this idea that it's sexist that it
- 1:55:02Speaker 2: evolved around women, or that it evolved a certain way
- 1:55:06Speaker 2: because it's sexist for it to have evolved around women. No,
- 1:55:10Speaker 2: the reality is women are cheap. Women will buy stuff
- 1:55:14Speaker 2: on sale that is not as well made. Women will
- 1:55:19Speaker 2: buy clothing that they're going to throw away next week,
- 1:55:22Speaker 2: and they'll buy work clothing that isn't going to serve
- 1:55:26Speaker 2: its purpose and may even get them in trouble at work,
- 1:55:28Speaker 2: and then they'll complain about it. Right, they'll buy things
- 1:55:31Speaker 2: that they're never going to use because it looks cute,
- 1:55:34Speaker 2: because it's interesting, and because they do that, they skimp
- 1:55:39Speaker 2: on paying for things, or they'll they'll run up a
- 1:55:45Speaker 2: huge credit card bill that their husband has to pay off.
- 1:55:49Speaker 2: Whereas if a guy wants to buy something, it has
- 1:55:52Speaker 2: to be functional, it has to be lasting. It's not
- 1:55:56Speaker 2: something that he's going to throw away next week. It
- 1:55:59Speaker 2: has to serve a purpose for him. It's got to
- 1:56:01Speaker 2: be something he actually is going to use and he's
- 1:56:05Speaker 2: going to invest in it. And so if influencing evolve
- 1:56:10Speaker 2: a certain way that is not to be very lucrative
- 1:56:14Speaker 2: because women do it, it's because women don't invest in
- 1:56:20Speaker 2: things that women do the way that men invest in
- 1:56:23Speaker 2: things that men do. And as a result, businesses that
- 1:56:27Speaker 2: revolve around selling things to women for things that women
- 1:56:31Speaker 2: do aren't going to be as lucrative as businesses that
- 1:56:35Speaker 2: evolve around selling things for men that men do because
- 1:56:38Speaker 2: of things that men do. Okay, and that makes sense.
- 1:56:43Speaker 1: And setting aside the relative lucrativeness of these of influencers
- 1:56:47Speaker 1: versus everything else. Again, we just went through a whole
- 1:56:51Speaker 1: video on how Manifestel basically said because she's a girl,
- 1:56:56Speaker 1: she should get a lighter load, that she shouldn't have
- 1:56:58Speaker 1: to work as hard as men, that she should have
- 1:57:01Speaker 1: all kinds of concessions and be able to do multitasking
- 1:57:04Speaker 1: and everything else. And so she wants to sit on
- 1:57:08Speaker 1: being a girl. Why she doesn't as an explanation for
- 1:57:10Speaker 1: why she doesn't have to labor as hard. But at
- 1:57:13Speaker 1: the same time, is she wants to be taken as
- 1:57:15Speaker 1: seriously as men when they do jobs. Right, that's ridiculous.
- 1:57:20Speaker 1: You either get special consideration to have to labor less
- 1:57:25Speaker 1: as a woman, to have a work life balance, to
- 1:57:28Speaker 1: do a spoilt girly job which is basically just leaning
- 1:57:31Speaker 1: on everyone else and stealing money. Right, You either get
- 1:57:34Speaker 1: that because you're a woman. But on the other hand,
- 1:57:37Speaker 1: you don't get the respect of somebody who truly has
- 1:57:40Speaker 1: to work for a living, who truly has to put
- 1:57:44Speaker 1: in the effort. Okay, one or the other, not both,
- 1:57:49Speaker 1: of course, you're gonna ask for both. You're gonna ask
- 1:57:51Speaker 1: for to be given the lighter loads. You're gonna ask
- 1:57:54Speaker 1: to carry twenty pounds when a man is carrying two
- 1:57:58Speaker 1: hundred and at the end of the day, you want
- 1:58:00Speaker 1: to get credit for carrying two hundred pounds too. That's
- 1:58:04Speaker 1: what this is, and getting paid for it. Well, you
- 1:58:07Speaker 1: don't get that with anybody with any a lick of
- 1:58:10Speaker 1: common sense. So basically she's saying people with common sense
- 1:58:13Speaker 1: are saying, I don't work as hard when I don't
- 1:58:15Speaker 1: work as hard, well, yeah, too bad. Until until the
- 1:58:22Speaker 1: until the US deep state outlaws common sense, you're going
- 1:58:26Speaker 1: to be subject to it. Okay, let's uh, how many
- 1:58:29Speaker 1: more time codes are left?
- 1:58:35Speaker 4: I mean, like the only thing that's left is, uh,
- 1:58:38Speaker 4: there's a section called empowerment through influencing. So she's already
- 1:58:43Speaker 4: covered the devaluation of women's labor and the.
- 1:58:47Speaker 5: Societal perception of influencers. So I mean, want me to
- 1:58:52Speaker 5: just that's basically the last bit.
- 1:58:54Speaker 1: Yeah, sure, society so okay.
- 1:58:56Speaker 5: No, it's empowerment through influencing, okay.
- 1:59:00Speaker 1: Okay, so simultaneously influencers are treated as lesser, but it's
- 1:59:05Speaker 1: also empowered Okay.
- 1:59:07Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, because it's labor, it's work.
- 1:59:09Speaker 3: Recognize it as work like it is labor. It is
- 1:59:13Speaker 3: an industry, and it's valid, and it supports a lot
- 1:59:17Speaker 3: of people, and it supports the economy, and like, on
- 1:59:20Speaker 3: a more societal scale, we can challenge the outdated notion
- 1:59:24Speaker 3: of women's work that it's less valuable, it's less important,
- 1:59:29Speaker 3: and therefore should not be compensated at all, and that
- 1:59:31Speaker 3: women should.
- 1:59:31Speaker 1: You make stuff that you're influencing people to buy. No,
- 1:59:36Speaker 1: what does she understand? What job she's like influencers? Do
- 1:59:41Speaker 1: they make the stuff that they're influencing people to buy? Okay,
- 1:59:46Speaker 1: so who do you think is more important in this relationship?
- 1:59:49Speaker 1: The influencers are the people creating the stuff that they sell.
- 1:59:54Speaker 1: I mean, I guess you could say the influencers are
- 1:59:56Speaker 1: giving them jobs too, but seriously, like and also like,
- 2:00:01Speaker 1: you're influencing people to make splurge on consumer products that
- 2:00:05Speaker 1: they don't necessarily need. I mean, just be happy with
- 2:00:09Speaker 1: what you are. You are an essential service. You probably
- 2:00:14Speaker 1: not doing that much. Well maybe maybe you're doing stuff
- 2:00:17Speaker 1: for the products that you sell, but you know, it's
- 2:00:21Speaker 1: just like, just be happy with what you are.
- 2:00:25Speaker 2: I would say, she doesn't understand what jobs are for.
- 2:00:27Speaker 2: And the reason I'd say that is because her argument
- 2:00:31Speaker 2: for why influencers should get paid more isn't that they
- 2:00:35Speaker 2: are providing value to the viewers. She argue that the
- 2:00:39Speaker 2: people influence. Yeah, and it isn't because they're providing value
- 2:00:45Speaker 2: to the sellers that are asking them demonstrate this product,
- 2:00:49Speaker 2: show this, or whatever. In the case of influencers that
- 2:00:52Speaker 2: are basically advertisers, it isn't because their content is in
- 2:00:57Speaker 2: other words, needed by people and bringing value to people.
- 2:01:02Speaker 2: It's because of their effect on the economy. Right. This
- 2:01:07Speaker 2: is very similar to women arguing that they should get
- 2:01:10Speaker 2: paid more in the workplace than they do because of
- 2:01:12Speaker 2: what they do for themselves at home and that it
- 2:01:14Speaker 2: provides value in the home. Your employer doesn't owe you
- 2:01:17Speaker 2: anything for that. Your job exists. Whatever you do exists
- 2:01:24Speaker 2: to provide a value for the source of your income,
- 2:01:28Speaker 2: your employer, your audience, your advertisers, whatever. Right, If you're
- 2:01:34Speaker 2: not providing that value, they don't have a reason to
- 2:01:38Speaker 2: pay you more money. Right. It's not these companies and
- 2:01:42Speaker 2: your viewers and so on. They're not in the business
- 2:01:46Speaker 2: of paying you to make the economy move, even if
- 2:01:51Speaker 2: you contribute to that. That's not the job description and
- 2:01:57Speaker 2: it's not why the money is coming in, so presenting
- 2:02:01Speaker 2: it as a reason why you should get more money
- 2:02:04Speaker 2: is unreasonable and irrational, just like your work that you
- 2:02:10Speaker 2: do at home for yourself is not the reason why
- 2:02:14Speaker 2: the factory that you work at or the retail outlet
- 2:02:18Speaker 2: that you work at pays you. Right, they're expecting the
- 2:02:23Speaker 2: value of you doing the tasks that they hired you
- 2:02:26Speaker 2: to do, and presenting your housework as a reason why
- 2:02:31Speaker 2: you should get paid more is unreasonable and irrational. And
- 2:02:35Speaker 2: this is why I use the term accountability gap to
- 2:02:40Speaker 2: describe women's failure to understand. Men understand that they have
- 2:02:45Speaker 2: had to have that understanding throughout history. Women have not
- 2:02:48Speaker 2: had to have that understanding throughout history. They are not
- 2:02:50Speaker 2: accountable for it. They haven't been accountable to their employers,
- 2:02:53Speaker 2: and they haven't been accountable to their families as breadwinners.
- 2:02:57Speaker 2: And so there is a gap, just like the so
- 2:03:00Speaker 2: called wage gap, only the accountability gap is real. Men
- 2:03:05Speaker 2: have been noticing it for centuries. They've been talking about
- 2:03:09Speaker 2: it in at print media for at least a century,
- 2:03:12Speaker 2: probably also for centuries. And that's the best name I
- 2:03:17Speaker 2: could think of to use as a shortcut instead of
- 2:03:21Speaker 2: describing the phenomenon every time I wanted to talk about it.
- 2:03:26Speaker 1: If that makes sense, yep, Okay, So that I didn't
- 2:03:29Speaker 1: realize that she was asking for more money because it's like.
- 2:03:32Speaker 2: What you're explaining about how influenced?
- 2:03:35Speaker 1: How can socialized influencing like yeah, take off, take off
- 2:03:41Speaker 1: oods or no, because that's going to destroy it. Because
- 2:03:44Speaker 1: the the truth is it has to be a competitive,
- 2:03:47Speaker 1: a competitive, a competitive sort of thing. Otherwise what's the
- 2:03:52Speaker 1: point of it, right? You know, you got to be
- 2:03:54Speaker 1: an influencer who influences more otherwise, like it, it just
- 2:03:58Speaker 1: doesn't work, just doesn't work. Okay, I'm working, you know,
- 2:04:05Speaker 1: and my work is not just throwing the frisbee for you.
- 2:04:08Speaker 1: But regardless, it's just who's paying me for that. You're
- 2:04:11Speaker 1: not paying me to do that. You're not paying me
- 2:04:13Speaker 1: to throw this frisbee. This is frisbee throwing pain gap here?
- 2:04:18Speaker 1: All right? So is this this is the final one?
- 2:04:21Speaker 5: Is it?
- 2:04:22Speaker 1: Brian?
- 2:04:22Speaker 5: Yeah?
- 2:04:23Speaker 1: Are we in the home stretch? Is there anything?
- 2:04:28Speaker 5: I mean, we can play the rest of this clip
- 2:04:30Speaker 5: and then leave it at that.
- 2:04:32Speaker 3: Okay, everyone else benefiting from their labor, like the same
- 2:04:35Speaker 3: has been done to caregiving and childcare, and they're doing
- 2:04:38Speaker 3: it to influencing too, Like, the devaluation of women's labor
- 2:04:42Speaker 3: is a huge problem. And when we assign the proper
- 2:04:44Speaker 3: value to women's labor, to women's industries and recognize them
- 2:04:48Speaker 3: as legitimate jobs, we affirm women's power to inspire.
- 2:04:53Speaker 1: In the vate.
- 2:04:54Speaker 2: Lead recognition, she doesn't understand that it is a trade,
- 2:05:00Speaker 2: it's a she doesn't understand what it's for, but what's for?
- 2:05:07Speaker 2: What pay is for? She she doesn't, yeah, ahead trade
- 2:05:13Speaker 2: that you're buying labor and and when you do labor
- 2:05:18Speaker 2: for a job, you're selling labor to your employer. Like
- 2:05:24Speaker 2: she doesn't seem to have a grasp on that that
- 2:05:27Speaker 2: very basic fact.
- 2:05:30Speaker 1: And they vote.
- 2:05:33Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah.
- 2:05:36Speaker 1: We're giving them access to the reigns of society. And
- 2:05:40Speaker 1: this is someone who has a quarter of a million
- 2:05:44Speaker 1: female pairs of eyeballs on her listening to every word, saying, oh,
- 2:05:48Speaker 1: I gotta be a manifest out girly.
- 2:05:51Speaker 2: And I thought you were going to say female parasites
- 2:05:53Speaker 2: and get.
- 2:05:55Speaker 1: Seriously, they're looking at this and they think this is
- 2:05:57Speaker 1: the way to be, and we give them more and
- 2:06:01Speaker 1: more and more and more power over the work world.
- 2:06:04Speaker 1: And they fundamentally do not understand that what you're talking about, Hannah.
- 2:06:09Speaker 1: They don't understand merit. They don't understand the concept of
- 2:06:12Speaker 1: giving value in exchange for money, and they don't understand
- 2:06:15Speaker 1: that influencers already get probably more than what they deserve
- 2:06:20Speaker 1: in terms of their actual benefit to society. Like, they
- 2:06:23Speaker 1: don't understand any of that, none of it.
- 2:06:26Speaker 2: She doesn't understand that it's a trade. She doesn't understand
- 2:06:29Speaker 2: that pay isn't just a a an expression of esteem
- 2:06:34Speaker 2: for the employee, right, And she also doesn't understand what
- 2:06:39Speaker 2: makes work valuable to the employer. Yeah, this explains a lot.
- 2:06:45Speaker 1: Mm hmmm. Doesn't understand any of this. And she's also
- 2:06:50Speaker 1: but she compares herself to Marcus Aulius. Oh good lord, Okay,
- 2:06:57Speaker 1: let's keep going.
- 2:06:58Speaker 3: Uh okay, this is and I love this questions by
- 2:07:03Speaker 3: this article, which was written as an open letter to
- 2:07:05Speaker 3: female influencer kan society stomach women who not only take
- 2:07:09Speaker 3: up space but also define its parameters, thriving unapologetically in
- 2:07:12Speaker 3: a domain they've masterminded themselves. I have another story for you.
- 2:07:16Speaker 2: So I was, and I'll put that back on the screen.
- 2:07:21Speaker 2: Like what she said, there is so dumb?
- 2:07:26Speaker 5: Is it not?
- 2:07:26Speaker 3: Even unapologetically in a domain they've masterminded themselves?
- 2:07:32Speaker 5: All right?
- 2:07:33Speaker 2: What she said there is so dumb that I think
- 2:07:35Speaker 2: I lost IQ points hearing it. Hey, there's multiple dum
- 2:07:41Speaker 2: So First of all, nobody gets upseted women for taking
- 2:07:46Speaker 2: up space. We are not allowed even to criticize women
- 2:07:50Speaker 2: when one of them takes up the space of two people,
- 2:07:54Speaker 2: right to the degree that even people who are savvy
- 2:07:59Speaker 2: about that are uncomfortable acknowledging when women take up more
- 2:08:06Speaker 2: space than they're entitled to. Or like I called myself
- 2:08:11Speaker 2: fat yes, So for the record, for the listeners, I'm autistic.
- 2:08:16Speaker 2: It's not an insult to if I call myself fat.
- 2:08:19Speaker 2: It's me stating a fact and it doesn't bother me.
- 2:08:22Speaker 2: Like I just bought a DIM membership because I don't
- 2:08:25Speaker 2: like the effects on my health from being fat. Right,
- 2:08:29Speaker 2: So I called myself fat yesterday, and poor Mike was
- 2:08:34Speaker 2: uncomfortable hearing me call myself fat because he thought it
- 2:08:37Speaker 2: meant I felt bad about myself, and we don't let
- 2:08:39Speaker 2: women feel bad about themselves. All right, I feel terrible
- 2:08:43Speaker 2: about being fat because it hurts my ass. Literally, that's
- 2:08:47Speaker 2: the problem. All right, that's as bad as I feel
- 2:08:50Speaker 2: about it.
- 2:08:51Speaker 5: Right.
- 2:08:51Speaker 2: But if I was a feminist and somebody else called
- 2:08:55Speaker 2: me fat, if I sat next to somebody on an
- 2:08:57Speaker 2: airplane and the seat was this wide, and I'm taking
- 2:09:01Speaker 2: up this much space, right, and I complain because they're
- 2:09:07Speaker 2: in my way. I, as a woman, I am coddled
- 2:09:13Speaker 2: for expecting that special treatment. And if a man is
- 2:09:16Speaker 2: sitting next to me and I'm taking up part of
- 2:09:18Speaker 2: his seat and he complains, he gets treated like shit
- 2:09:22Speaker 2: for it, even though he paid for that whole seat,
- 2:09:25Speaker 2: not to share it with me. Right, So this idea
- 2:09:29Speaker 2: that women women can't take up space. We get complaints
- 2:09:34Speaker 2: from women about men sitting with their knees more than
- 2:09:37Speaker 2: a few inches apart on the bus. Women who will
- 2:09:40Speaker 2: carry six bags into the bus and take up the
- 2:09:43Speaker 2: whole you know, aisle of seats, both sides for six
- 2:09:49Speaker 2: rows or whatever with all their shit. Oh no, this
- 2:09:53Speaker 2: guy is taking up a seat all by himself because
- 2:09:55Speaker 2: his feet are too far apart, and only a thin
- 2:09:57Speaker 2: person can sit next to him, not a fat person.
- 2:10:00Speaker 2: Or on the train, that's that's, you know, like taking
- 2:10:03Speaker 2: up a whole bench with her bags or putting her
- 2:10:06Speaker 2: feet up and then getting upset because a guy sits
- 2:10:10Speaker 2: with his knees more than an inch apart. It's bullshit,
- 2:10:15Speaker 2: But that alone, that's not the worst of it, right,
- 2:10:19Speaker 2: thriving unapologetically? Who gets mad at anybody for thriving?
- 2:10:24Speaker 5: Right?
- 2:10:25Speaker 2: Who gets mad?
- 2:10:25Speaker 5: Women?
- 2:10:27Speaker 2: Women get jealous and they get women get jealous and
- 2:10:31Speaker 2: they bitch about it.
- 2:10:32Speaker 1: Right, So because you think they're entitled to some portion
- 2:10:36Speaker 1: of it.
- 2:10:37Speaker 2: If she's got a complaint, she should take it up
- 2:10:39Speaker 2: with her followers, because that's probably who's bitching about any
- 2:10:43Speaker 2: thriving And then a domain they've masterminded themselves, all right, So.
- 2:10:51Speaker 1: Women invented advertising? Did you know?
- 2:10:54Speaker 2: Advertising would not exist if men didn't make things for
- 2:11:00Speaker 2: women to buy?
- 2:11:01Speaker 1: Oh, if men didn't invent that advertising.
- 2:11:03Speaker 2: And invent things for women to want. And yeah, men
- 2:11:07Speaker 2: invented advertising, although marketing is largely a female dominated industry
- 2:11:14Speaker 2: these days until you get into certain higher echelons, which
- 2:11:19Speaker 2: is why you get like the dumbest of the dumb
- 2:11:24Speaker 2: advertising campaigns at the story level quite frequently. But but yeah,
- 2:11:31Speaker 2: the ideas of it, this idea that this is something
- 2:11:34Speaker 2: that men have done to women, or that it's sexist,
- 2:11:36Speaker 2: is bullshit.
- 2:11:37Speaker 1: Okay, I think we should. I honestly doubt that there's
- 2:11:40Speaker 1: going to be anything further after this brunt. Yeah, no, yad.
- 2:11:44Speaker 1: So I'm just going to conclude with this. Now everybody's
- 2:11:47Speaker 1: checked out. But I've used the evil seaword, the truly
- 2:11:50Speaker 1: evil seaword. But okay, you're thriving, then why do you
- 2:11:55Speaker 1: need more money? Yeah? Why are you saying that you're undervalued,
- 2:11:59Speaker 1: that influencers are undervalue and need to get influencer welfare? Like,
- 2:12:05Speaker 1: why do you know? If you're thriving, go thrive? All right?
- 2:12:09Speaker 1: If you're thriving, don't ask for shit? Right, Okay, there
- 2:12:13Speaker 1: you go, thrive and and and those who thrive shall
- 2:12:18Speaker 1: not request more crap for themselves. Right, Okay, We're I'm
- 2:12:23Speaker 1: acknowledging your thriving, Emily Valentine Parr. You are thriving, therefore,
- 2:12:29Speaker 1: do not ask for anything from anybody else. Okay, that's
- 2:12:33Speaker 1: how it works.
- 2:12:34Speaker 2: We've come full circle to Brian's joke about Adam and Eve. Yes,
- 2:12:38Speaker 2: this is Eve in the garden of thriving, looking at
- 2:12:43Speaker 2: her followers and in all seriousness saying it really isn't enough,
- 2:12:48Speaker 2: is it?
- 2:12:49Speaker 1: Yeah? Never is enough? All right? So I do have
- 2:12:53Speaker 1: a thank you to give, which is absolutely enough. Richard Beer,
- 2:12:58Speaker 1: completely unrelated, has uh dropped a thousand bucks into the
- 2:13:02Speaker 1: kiddie So thank you, Richard Beierre.
- 2:13:04Speaker 2: Thanks.
- 2:13:05Speaker 5: I am still here. I hope that this oh yeah
- 2:13:07Speaker 5: is coming back. Yeah, you're back, You're back. Yeah.
- 2:13:13Speaker 2: Ask me?
- 2:13:14Speaker 1: Is it masochism or a learning to like manifesto? No,
- 2:13:17Speaker 1: I don't like manifesto. I do not like her, Sam
- 2:13:20Speaker 1: I am, but she is bullshit and my job is
- 2:13:26Speaker 1: to shovel it. So I do my job. That's that's
- 2:13:28Speaker 1: the end. That's the final analysis. And the problem is
- 2:13:32Speaker 1: that she has a ship ton of followers, and compared
- 2:13:36Speaker 1: to the other spoilt girly or female dating strategy streamers,
- 2:13:41Speaker 1: she actually is at least somewhat intelligent or not intelligent,
- 2:13:45Speaker 1: what is the word for it. She varies her content.
- 2:13:49Speaker 2: Articulate, different topics, savvy.
- 2:13:53Speaker 1: She's a bit savvy, so she she because she has
- 2:13:57Speaker 1: different topics. For last week, we did a top on
- 2:14:00Speaker 1: romance novels with Karen because she's a romance writer. This
- 2:14:03Speaker 1: week we did the female dating strategy more of the
- 2:14:07Speaker 1: female dating strategy stuff. Because Hannah has actually been you
- 2:14:12Speaker 1: on Reddit. You've been watching the female dating strategy stuff,
- 2:14:16Speaker 1: and you've been in vaud I was.
- 2:14:17Speaker 2: They privated their subreddit quite a while as, Yeah, so
- 2:14:24Speaker 2: you have to actually join the subreddit to get in,
- 2:14:28Speaker 2: and I would have to create a new account because
- 2:14:32Speaker 2: my original account, which for a long time was shadow band,
- 2:14:37Speaker 2: but is no longer by surprise, for some reason, that
- 2:14:41Speaker 2: account is banned in all of the feminist subreddits because
- 2:14:46Speaker 2: I posted in the Men's Right subreddit for so long,
- 2:14:50Speaker 2: And if you posted the Men's Right subreddit, there's a
- 2:14:52Speaker 2: whole laundry list of subreddits that ban you from their subreddits,
- 2:14:57Speaker 2: and that subreddit is one of them. So yeah, it would.
- 2:15:02Speaker 2: It would actually take me quite a bit. But when
- 2:15:04Speaker 2: I was monitoring it, what I basically saw was it
- 2:15:10Speaker 2: was mostly women complaining about what terrible people men are,
- 2:15:16Speaker 2: how useless they are, how boring they are, how worthless
- 2:15:20Speaker 2: they are, what assholes they are, what clods they are,
- 2:15:24Speaker 2: how predatory they are, how unattractive they are, how everything
- 2:15:28Speaker 2: they do is wrong and everything they say is wrong
- 2:15:31Speaker 2: and everything they think is wrong, and how to get
- 2:15:34Speaker 2: them to want to be with women. In that particular subreddit,
- 2:15:40Speaker 2: it reminded me of that stupid joke in any hall
- 2:15:48Speaker 2: about the restaurant being terrible because the food was awful
- 2:15:53Speaker 2: and the portions are wish too small. It's like, yeah,
- 2:16:00Speaker 2: definitely want more if the food is awful. Men are awful.
- 2:16:03Speaker 2: How can we get them to date us? We hate
- 2:16:05Speaker 2: those fuckers.
- 2:16:06Speaker 1: How can we get we get more of their money,
- 2:16:08Speaker 1: get into.
- 2:16:08Speaker 2: Relationships with them? And it is all about you know.
- 2:16:11Speaker 2: They refer to certain men as high value, but they
- 2:16:15Speaker 2: still consider them to be beneath the women in the subreddit,
- 2:16:21Speaker 2: not equal partners. They still consider them to be walking
- 2:16:27Speaker 2: wallets and work hourses and pets that must be kept
- 2:16:32Speaker 2: on a leash or they will behave inappropriately. They don't
- 2:16:35Speaker 2: see men as human beings and they don't care about them.
- 2:16:38Speaker 2: They just want somebody to pay half the bills.
- 2:16:43Speaker 1: Yeah, or well, actually, from what I've seen of the
- 2:16:46Speaker 1: female dating strategy, they regard a high value man to
- 2:16:52Speaker 1: be a man who's who would essentially be wanted by
- 2:16:57Speaker 1: all of their girlfriends and everybody, every woman and like
- 2:17:00Speaker 1: a ten mile radius, but at the same time not
- 2:17:02Speaker 1: act like he has choices, So they essentially want somebody
- 2:17:06Speaker 1: who doesn't exist. That's what they would consider a high
- 2:17:09Speaker 1: value man. But the other thing is that I noticed
- 2:17:11Speaker 1: how much a high value man basically just fixes them
- 2:17:17Speaker 1: like they don't. They don't, they don't fixes every problem
- 2:17:20Speaker 1: that they have, So instead of them fixing themselves or
- 2:17:24Speaker 1: learning to be a better person, or learning to have
- 2:17:27Speaker 1: better skills, or making more of an effort in their life,
- 2:17:31Speaker 1: they just think a man's going to come in and
- 2:17:33Speaker 1: fix me. So simultaneously withholding men in complete contempt, they
- 2:17:38Speaker 1: seem to think that men should have godlike powers of
- 2:17:42Speaker 1: being able to save them. It is most it has
- 2:17:45Speaker 1: to be, you know, it should be in the DSM
