Transcript
- 0:00Our title today is HBr Talk three eighteen, Where's the True Feminism? And
- 0:05I started my spiel that I usually run, you know, through and give
- 0:10everybody an explanation of how to support us and where to support us. So
- 0:18I have muted and unmuted, and it looks like you're getting my sound now.
- 0:24But let me know because if if you didn't get my sound and you're
- 0:32getting it now, that fixed the problem. But if you're not getting it
- 0:37now, I should be hearing from people that, you know, there's silence
- 0:41again, like there goes the sound, you know, and stuff like that.
- 0:44That way I will know if you can hear me talking about Okay,
- 0:51they hear two people now, good, good, good, all right.
- 0:54So well, Lauren was responding to, is me pointing out that things have
- 0:57changed for me. And I've always said the reason that I get paid to
- 1:02do this because people are challenging, you know, why should you get paid
- 1:03to do this? Why should you get to pay to do this? Well,
- 1:07in the past, it's been so that I could use some conveniences to
- 1:12give myself the time to do this job in regard to my personal life,
- 1:19so that I don't have to do things that you normally do in your personal
- 1:25life that take time, because I usually dedicate between between ten and thirty hours
- 1:32a week to this, depending on research. Lately it's been a lot more
- 1:37because of what I've been researching, and you know, it's mostly just trying
- 1:42to remember what I learned when I was I did my further reading outside of
- 1:48history class in school because they really didn't teach much about this and I wanted
- 1:52to know, and then trying to track down things on the Internet that contain
- 1:59that information because a lot of you know, when I was in school,
- 2:02it was all in the library. You didn't go There was no Google.
- 2:06When I was in school, the Internet was you directly dial up somebody else's
- 2:12computer and you converse back and forth on bulletin boards or Usenet and stuff like
- 2:20that. There was no there was no World Wide Web. Because I'm old,
- 2:27right, so there's that. But in a Biden administration, in the
- 2:32Biden economy, it's changed. You know, I get paid to do this,
- 2:38because if I didn't get paid to do this, I would have to
- 2:40be working a lot of overtime that would pretty much take up all of the
- 2:46time that I have to do this. So literally, I'm getting paid to
- 2:52do a job that I'm doing as a second job instead of doing more work
- 3:00at the job I'm at, or picking up a different second job. And
- 3:05and if if that wasn't the case, I would be uh, I would
- 3:08not be able to do HBr talk. There would be somebody else maybe doing
- 3:13it, but it wouldn't be me. So there you go, just just
- 3:17in front the record. So I talked about feed the Badger dot com because
- 3:27you know, we always start with that, but I want to point out
- 3:30we've seen individual after individual bumped from Patreon, kicked off of Patreon for politically
- 3:39incorrect speech. And yes, uh, stinky, I am a gen xer
- 3:47fifty three right now, so like boomers are in their seventies and eighties,
- 3:55so that's there. But fifty three is pretty old compared to anybody that existed
- 4:01during the time that you know, or that was born during the time that
- 4:04the Internet already existed. Right it's their Their whole lives are ahead of them.
- 4:11About half my life is still left hopefully, if I'm lucky, maybe
- 4:16maybe a third. But uh, in any case, Yeah, I was
- 4:21pointing out the importance of feed the Badger dot com because, as I always
- 4:27say, it's the most stable way to help us out. You uh,
- 4:30you run the risk with Patreon that at some point in the future for being
- 4:34politically incorrect, because we're fucking politically incorrect, we're gonna get bumped to Like
- 4:42that is the risk. If you want to be able to support us,
- 4:45you're much more likely to not lose that capability all of a sudden if you
- 4:50use feed the Badger dot com and like I said, the social media tip
- 4:56jar system that we we rely on a lot. That's all. That's all
- 5:03justice fragile, and as a result we created feed the Badger dot com slash
- 5:09justice tip. So there you go. But Lauren, you had started to
- 5:15say something else, Yes, and I would like to add that you know,
- 5:24it's a shame that channels like this are even necessary, right because in
- 5:30a right side up world, which we should be living, things like this
- 5:35would be handled by a competent government, which I know we don't have right
- 5:41now. I don't know how competent governments can be when they are just you
- 5:46know, filled with octagenarians who you know, seem to have speech impediments.
- 5:56But anyway, this channel shouldn't be necessary, this discussion shouldn't be necessary if
- 6:02the world was operating as it should, but we don't live in that world.
- 6:08We live in a world where this discussion the equal treatment of all human
- 6:14beings, not just women, is you know, something that we could have,
- 6:20but we can't do that because of the way things are. So we
- 6:25exist for a reason. And you know, for those of us, for
- 6:30those of you who support us, we thank you heartily, we really do,
- 6:34from the bottom of our hearts. And you know, for those who
- 6:40are still wondering why we're here, well, why are you here? Yeah,
- 6:45you know, that's a good question. So that's all I had to
- 6:49say. Yeah, And I'm doing this because I feel like it's important for
- 6:55people to understand the history line the issues, So you know, I hope
- 7:00other people understand why. I think it's important because we're being told that men
- 7:09owe women deference in terms of human rights issues and equality issues. And the
- 7:17reason that men supposedly owe women deference is because men oppressed women throughout history,
- 7:26even though women are totally equally capable as men, and there's no reason why
- 7:31women shouldn't have been able to rise up at any point in time and put
- 7:34a stop to that that for centuries, men oppressed women until compassion for women
- 7:40was invented in the twentieth century. Right, that seems to be our narratives
- 7:46that were stuck with from feminists, But history shows a different picture. And
- 7:55it's vital in the fight against in French on men's human rights to understand that
- 8:05even that lousy excuse, which is a lousy excuse, these people in history
- 8:09did this bad thing. Therefore, for the rest of the future, people
- 8:13who have demographic in common with them must be punished. Is a stupid argument
- 8:18all around for every demographic. But it's not true either. If it's a
- 8:26lie, the argument is moot. Doesn't matter whether it's stupid or not.
- 8:31It's false. False comes before stupid. That's what I wanted to prove with
- 8:37this history. So hence the research, hence the hours put in, hence
- 8:43all of the work being done. And I'm going to turn this into a
- 8:46video as well, the timeline and the highlights of what we've been discussing,
- 8:52the basic information, because I really do feel like this is important information for
- 8:58people to understand when they're talking talking about voting rights and so on, and
- 9:03Tom, how does it feel to have lived through attempted assassinations? Of three
- 9:11presidents, one of which obviously was successful, because that that has to be
- 9:18surreal. Then Tom Tom just mentioned in the Packard excellence, just mentioned in
- 9:26the chat I came in when all the Kennedys were alive. I remember both
- 9:30assassinations. So he's seen a presidential assassination, he's seen another assassination of a
- 9:41high ranking official. He's seen an attempt, the attempted assassination of Ronald Reagan
- 9:46back in the day, and he's seen, you know, the recent assassination
- 9:54attempt, which I'm going to bring up to in my spiel before we get
- 9:56into this. So this is this guy who's seen what like I can't imagine
- 10:03like seeing. It hit me the other day that gen X has seen two
- 10:09ridiculous attempted assassinations. But the boomers that are still alive have can remember three,
- 10:18and all three of them have one thing in common. By the way,
- 10:22they weren't all Republicans, they weren't all Democrats, you know. And
- 10:26it wasn't that they were all president it was that they were all attacking the
- 10:31political establishment in various ways. Now, obviously the guy that attempted to assassinate
- 10:41Reagan was mentally ill, and said he was trying to impress Starlett, who
- 10:46did who wasn't impressed. But yeah, like someone who should be listened to.
- 10:56I imagine quite a bit of history there to understand. But but yeah,
- 11:03and that the situation we're probably gonna hear about himntal illness coming up.
- 11:07And my prediction on that is based on the fact that the guy's parents called
- 11:11the cops to report him missing on a Saturday after he was not home for
- 11:16a few hours. And most people don't do that unless the individual is disabled
- 11:22in some way or another and shouldn't be out alone on their own. So
- 11:28there's something screwy about that. And I'm my suspicion just from because of how
- 11:35my my regular profession is would be that they're there. It's going to come
- 11:39out this guy had a diagnosis that made it worrisome if he was unsupervised,
- 11:46but which is also consistent, by the way, with a lot of other
- 11:52incidents. So yeah, and there's there's absolutely no coincidence at all that both
- 11:58of his parents were mental health professionals. Yeah, no quitch there. I
- 12:07mean, just imagine growing up in a household like that where both of your
- 12:11parents are trying to psychoanalyze you every minute of the day when you're just trying
- 12:16to live a normal Well, what teenage life is normal? Right? You
- 12:20know, nobody feels like their life is normal. As a teenager. You
- 12:24always feel awkward and you know, out of place. But imagine just having
- 12:30both of your parents with a like a late because he was the only child
- 12:33as well. Well no, no, he had a sister. I believe
- 12:37he has a system. But at any rate, just living in that kind
- 12:41of household would probably drive anyone insane. Now I'm not saying that that's the
- 12:48reason that this happened. I have my own beliefs about what transpired. It's
- 12:54also possible that they went into that because they had had had reasons we'll just
- 13:03say in their family like and it's you never know the situation and uh,
- 13:09but they would be in a best a great position to articulate the symptoms,
- 13:16uh if they're if their kids needed mental health treatment, to other professionals for
- 13:22diagnosed diagnosis, because you don't if you're even as a doctor, you don't
- 13:26treat your own family necessarily, you you seek confirmation from other professionals before you
- 13:33take any action because you can be biased. But uh, but yeah,
- 13:39it's it's quite possible, you know that they they saw something in in him
- 13:45and when you know, we gotta we gotta get some help for our kids
- 13:48and that kind of thing. So it's again, this is just speculation,
- 13:52but that's that would make that call make sense really fast. So but yeah,
- 13:58all three, all three situations were a a president or presidential candidate who
- 14:07had been a president who was challenging the establishment or threatening to challenge the establishment.
- 14:15And I mean we've seen that quite a bit here. Not that Trump
- 14:18isn't economic establishment, because I think he is, like he's a big business,
- 14:24right, but it's still there's there's something that the establishment is scared of,
- 14:31and you've seen them go after him like an immune system going after a
- 14:37virus. So it's it's really interesting seeing the pattern. Somebody challenges the establishment
- 14:45too much, the establishment tries to kill them. And we don't we don't
- 14:48necessarily know how, you know, like how connected it is, but we
- 14:54do know that the rhetoric that that we've heard over over the last ten years
- 15:00in regard to to this challenge to the establishment has been a contributing factor.
- 15:07And it was in the Reagan situation too, there's a reason why the shooter
- 15:13thought that Jodie Foster would be impressed, because he thought that it was normal
- 15:20to hate Reagan and that it would be impressive if he was the guy that
- 15:24took him out right. So yeah, there's there's not there's not a rational
- 15:37denial that rhetoric plays a role in this. Kennedy was controversial too. People
- 15:41don't realize that. A lot of people think he was universally loved. Nope,
- 15:48he was controversial. There were people that were afraid of him because he
- 15:52was challenging the establishment. So yeah, I'm still in the same position I
- 16:00was before. I don't like everything about Trump. I don't hate everything about
- 16:03Trump. Therefore both sides accused me of some sort of derangement syndrome, and
- 16:10uh, and I'm still going to vote for him. There you go.
- 16:15But in any case, Yeah, so all all of that goes back to
- 16:21the thing about social media platforms, which I was also going to point out
- 16:25today before we get started. I will remind everybody and we we do have
- 16:32the same risk involved in our social media platforms, like I've been locked and
- 16:38throttled and shadow band and and I don't know, thrown in the Old Pacific
- 16:44Sea multiple times on social media for saying things that later turned out to be
- 16:49one hundred percent true. Right last night is an interesting example of why it's
- 16:57important. So I'm gonna harken back really really quick to the whole QAnon thing.
- 17:04When that guy came onto the scene on Twitter, I looked at at
- 17:07his posts and I'm like, that guy is melodramatic as hell. That's not
- 17:14how somebody, uh of the type of profession he was claiming to be,
- 17:19would would talk in public like I know some people who did jobs like that
- 17:27he was. He was claiming, I think to be a Navy seal or
- 17:33there's a few other types of profession in the military where when somebody starts talking
- 17:40about threats to to the security of your community, they're not melodramatic. They're
- 17:48very matter of fact. They they they will tell you the same way that
- 17:52your manager at a gas station will say, there's there's fecal matter on the
- 17:57floor in the in the restroom that needs to be cleaned up. Go get
- 18:00a mop and clean it up. Right, That's that's exactly how they talk.
- 18:07There's there's this, this is the situation. This is what needs to
- 18:10be done. Do it, and and there is no like, they don't
- 18:14they don't talk about uh, praying for the situation, or if they do,
- 18:19they say it very briefly. None of this super super melodramatic crap that
- 18:26I was seeing. So I called it at the time. I was like,
- 18:29Yeah, this guy's falls flag. Something's wrong with with this. This
- 18:32is not a real uh individual doing this kind of job that that is a
- 18:40secret source of what's going on in the government. This is somebody trying to
- 18:45troll everybody for a reason. And I think, you know personally that it's
- 18:48to make right wingers look stupid and gullible. And I got locked for twelve
- 18:55hours and made to delete that post. And later on, you know,
- 19:00and it turned out that the guy was trolling people and his achievement was that
- 19:06he made a lot of right wingers look stupid and gullible. I had nothing
- 19:10to point back to to say I told you so. Guys should have listened
- 19:12to me, right, that was? That was, you know, a
- 19:18mistake. I should have should have documented, right, I should have filmed.
- 19:22I can use actually use obs to do that. I should have documented
- 19:30my deletion and saved it. But instead, and I was stuck not being
- 19:36able to say I told you so, which for a woman is like,
- 19:38you know, not being able to breathe. So. But but in the
- 19:44meantime, I've watched this kind of stuff happen over and over again, where
- 19:49somebody comes out, information is made public that is controversial, questionable, or
- 19:59or show something is seriously wrong, something's going on that needs attention paid to
- 20:04it, and some account will show up and start spouting conspiracy theories that are
- 20:11just believable enough that a lot of people won't look dig you know, look
- 20:17into them, check the facts, and they'll start repeating them. And that
- 20:22happened last night. I watched it happen in real time. This guy discovered
- 20:29actually a lot of people told him about And I'm not a finance person,
- 20:36so I'm not sure I fully am gonna explain this correctly, but he discovered
- 20:44that an investment company made a suspiciously convenient move the day before the attack on
- 20:49Trump, and that suspiciously convenient move would have either saved them a lot of
- 20:56money or made them a lot of money if all of a sudden something associated
- 21:03with Trump got devalued a lot by an event, right, And that was
- 21:11that was kind of weird. And then they they uh undid the thing that
- 21:18they did. They they basically deleted it or removed it. Uh and and
- 21:22that that's kind of weird, right, That's one of those things you go,
- 21:26wow, that's that's interesting. But there isn't really a conclusion specifically from
- 21:30that, because that's not enough information to draw a conclusion on. Well,
- 21:33then another account immediately began posting these unverified claims about a previous administration's possible involvement
- 21:41and the only thing that he supported it with was more claims, and people
- 21:47were running with that narrative right away. Oh, this was done by this
- 21:51was done by Bush and Cheney. This was Bush and Cheney made this happen.
- 21:55And I'm looking at it, and as I'm reading the guy's posts,
- 22:00what he said would have made sense, except there were some things that stood
- 22:04out that were kind of weird, and it was it was starting to look
- 22:11like the Conspiracy Wall with the little you know, cards and images and strings
- 22:17and all that stuff, right starting to look like that meme. And people
- 22:21were replying to him, going, this isn't true, and then there's nothing
- 22:25to back it up. And I started looking, so I started researching it,
- 22:29and lo and behold, the first thing that came up was one of
- 22:32the connections that he drew reacquired Mary Cheney. I think her name is to
- 22:38be married to a guy who started a company in Cincinnati years ago, who
- 22:48isn't associated with the company he's supposed to be associated with in order for this
- 22:52connection to be real at the company doesn't exist anymore and isn't associated with the
- 22:59company that that made the suspiciously convenient move. And Mary Cheney's married to a
- 23:06woman. So I started posting everything I found, like this is this part
- 23:12of the story is not true, and I like that. That bothered me
- 23:18that people were repeating that without questioning it. So I went through and everybody
- 23:23I could find that was prominent that was repeating it without checking it, I
- 23:30replied to them and immediately got pushed back, Oh, you're so gullible to
- 23:34believe all of that stuff instead of this claim that doesn't have any verifying information
- 23:40behind it. So I waited. I thought, you know what I'm gonna
- 23:42get. I'm gonna get locked again for publishing this or for posting this.
- 23:48But I didn't. But that doesn't necessarily mean that it can't happen. Later
- 23:55the guy deleted his posts. I wasn't expecting that I should have, but
- 24:00I believe they are unless they've been removed on archive. Is it didn't finish
- 24:10loading before I had to stop and start doing tasks at work. So but
- 24:15in any case, you know, I replied to this this guy a storyteller,
- 24:21and to the people that I could reply to and tried to, you
- 24:27know, stem the tide of that, because it's it's possible the guy was
- 24:32just a troll looking for attention. You know, it's possible the guy was
- 24:34just being a dipshit. But it's also possible that once again you had a
- 24:38professional troll there trying to make right wingers look stupid and gullible. Right,
- 24:48Okay, so somebody in the chat knows I think who I'm talking about here,
- 24:52because somebody was saying guy went ballistic. Okay, no brother brother with
- 25:00the had problems. Okay, that makes sense. Yeah, people who want
- 25:06to believe these things will go nuts on you for skepticism when it's really important
- 25:11to track this stuff down and make sure that it's true if you're going to
- 25:12make a big allegation like that, Because the allegation that was being made was
- 25:17that two former federal officials, a president and a vice president, had conspired
- 25:26to capitalize on the possible assassination of a presidential candidate. That's that's a hell
- 25:38of an accusation. And I mean, I'm not a huge fan of Bush
- 25:45or Cheney, but if that's not true, then people shouldn't say it.
- 25:51It's not part of the story. It's not part of the situation, and
- 25:55we should be responding to what's true. And you know, it is true
- 25:59that that, like, the company that made the suspiciously convenient move put an
- 26:04explanation up on their website for having made that move, so that confirms that
- 26:08they did that. It doesn't explain away any suspicions, and it doesn't confirm
- 26:15any suspicions. That's just like one of those things you sort of draw a
- 26:18line under it and they're like, Okay, this, we don't forget this,
- 26:22but we don't understand it yet, so what to wait for more information
- 26:26to come out that can explain it. And it's possible that their explanation is
- 26:32valid, but we'll put a line under that too, because it's possible that
- 26:37that's just cya right, So no conclusions there, but In the meantime,
- 26:45the fact that you know, I was kind of paranoid last night about it.
- 26:48I'm going to get a locked for this. I'm going to get locked
- 26:51for this made me realize how important it is to have the Honey Badger Brigade
- 26:55blog and for you guys to pay attention to Honey Badger Brigade Blog and be
- 27:03aware and alert that we have that platform that we're on. Rumble that you
- 27:10know, I may not use truth Social much. I don't. I don't
- 27:14think I post on it for the last probably several months, but I'm on
- 27:19it. And if I lost my ability to post on Twitter, you can
- 27:25bet anything that Twitter thought was controversial enough to keep me from from posting X
- 27:33whatever, I would start putting that up on truth Social right away because it
- 27:37hit a nerve and I would want it to be available for people to see,
- 27:42even if it's not on that platform, even if it's on a different
- 27:45platform. And so it's very important for us to be on multiple platforms and
- 27:52to have platforms where we can trust that you know, we're not just going
- 27:59to be silenced by some idiot on a trust and safety council. So that's
- 28:07that's something that I wanted to point out about having the blog, and it's
- 28:11something that I wanted to get across about, you know, keep keep track
- 28:15of what's on the blog. Even though right now it's mostly just links to
- 28:18our shows and stuff, this is something that it's a necessary tool in case
- 28:27we get silenced in other places. And it's not that I expect necessarily that
- 28:33X is going to be a problem like that. It's just that I don't
- 28:37one hundred percent trust that it won't be because Elon Musk is in charge there
- 28:41now and he's telling everybody that's a free speech platform now. But I'm still
- 28:48throttled and shadow shadow band for saying men are human and human rights are not
- 28:55gendered now. So I don't know if you guys have anything to add,
- 29:08not for lot, Okay, I think Elon is to uh involved in his
- 29:15own forward trajectory to actually pay attention or give it damn about anything that happens
- 29:22on X. Don't know that I do too, because I mean that Trust
- 29:32and Safety Council, as far as I'm understanding, is still in place and
- 29:37led by you know, the unsavories right, Uh, So you know,
- 29:44I think he's got Twitter or X on auto pilot. He's not paying attention
- 29:51to this ship. And you know, it's it's interesting to see who he
- 29:55does reply to, because he seems to be replying to a lot of people
- 29:59who are on the more conservative side, because that's where he's politically leaning,
- 30:03you know. But there are issues that are brought up to him about the
- 30:11way that Twitter or I keep calling it Twitter, I can't call it x
- 30:15X is just stupid. Sorry, But he doesn't really seem to respond to
- 30:23or care much about those things. Yeah, and in the middle of an
- 30:30election season, when we are so close to November, he's again, like
- 30:37I said, he's got so much, He's got so many other things to
- 30:40care about. That's this is the last of his priorities, I would think.
- 30:45Other than the fact that you know, he's able to get on there
- 30:48and express himself freely, I think he does enjoy that bit of it,
- 30:52which of course was it. You know, it's his toy and he gets
- 30:56to play with it. Yeah, But as far as the day to day,
- 31:02you know, operations of the business goes, he I think he is
- 31:07is just a little too far detached from that because that's not his main focus,
- 31:12right, you know, that that is another reason why it's important for
- 31:17us to maintain alternative platforms, because you know, we don't know no matter
- 31:22what somebody's intentions are, no matter what somebody's promises are, no matter any
- 31:26of that, we don't know that any I guess mainstream thing is gonna be
- 31:34a good place to talk, and you'll always be able to talk. You
- 31:40know, if I post something on the Honey Badger Brigade blog, right,
- 31:44say I write an article about something and I post it there. You can
- 31:48challenge everything in that argument. You can post links in the chat, you
- 31:52can argue, you can bring things up, you can say I think you're
- 31:56an idiot, like you can. You can even call me names, and
- 32:01that's not going to get deleted, as long as you don't say something that
- 32:06that you know, advocates for violence or something like that, where we could
- 32:10get we're't gonna let anybody do that, right, and and it is fair.
- 32:15We the the closest to that line we've gotten is predicting that something will
- 32:22result in violence, in expressing fear that something will result in violence, which
- 32:27we we have of one post that does that and turned out to be right
- 32:35shortly thereafter. So you know that that kind of predicted the writing that took
- 32:40place in in in the country and the response of people to that writing that
- 32:47that you know, people started defending themselves and stuff, and but it's not
- 32:53a statement of justification for any of it. And like that's as far as
- 32:59you can go with with describing violence on the side. You can talk about
- 33:02it, you can postulate about it, you can predict, you know this
- 33:07this can result in that, and you can express concerns about it. But
- 33:14the one limit that we would have is if your content is illegal or your
- 33:20comment you know, contains this violence should happen statements you know, or we're
- 33:28going to do this violence statements, then those are going going bye bye.
- 33:34But everything else is pretty much fair game. Right you call me a motherfucking
- 33:37asshole, and I will leave your comment right there for everybody to see.
- 33:43You can even you know, post a whole We've had people post almost a
- 33:50whole freaking article in response in the comment sections, trying to take down things
- 33:53we we said. And it's fair to debate those things. It's really important.
- 34:01It's vital in fact, because if we make a mistake and people run
- 34:07with it, it can destroy the movement any any publication from the movement has
- 34:13that risk, so it's vital. But again, like that's just I wanted
- 34:21to point that out because that happened last night and it was something that really
- 34:27through me that how fast people just adopted that narrative and just started running with
- 34:31it, Like did you learn nothing from QAnon? Did you learn nothing from
- 34:38finding out that that guy actually was a false flag? And and that that
- 34:45bothers the hell out of me. So I think people should confirm serious allegations
- 34:52before they actually start repeating them. And if you can't confirm it, challenge
- 35:00it, because if you can't confirm it, it's probably not true. But
- 35:07anyway, let's get to the rat killing here we have. We stopped at
- 35:15the church. I think, as you I got. I don't know if
- 35:21you guys are watching the in the yeah, it says to watching good Okay,
- 35:28So we stopped at the subordinate position in the church. I'm pretty sure
- 35:37maybe the different code of morals actually, because I think I remember reading that
- 35:43and and this statement about Jehovah. I wish I can't find a police to
- 35:50click to get rid of that stupid little box trying not to have text selected.
- 35:54There we go, So we're almost through here. He has endeavored in
- 36:01every way. She says that he could destroy her confidence in her own powers,
- 36:07to lessen her self respect, and to make her willing to lead a
- 36:12dependent and abject life. Now, I this the reason that this comment,
- 36:19this this part bothered me and wasn't just because it wasn't true, you know,
- 36:25like it's it's blatantly not true. Men elevated women throughout history. Men
- 36:31pedestalized women throughout history. Goddess worship grew out of I think the reverence of
- 36:45both sexes for women's role in reproduction. I think if that was different,
- 36:53goddess worship would not have been a thing. But so I think women have
- 36:59been always a little elevated, even if they're not put into political power.
- 37:07Right and before English history, I think women kind of There's there's some evidence
- 37:17that women held very prominent positions in the pre British civilizations. But so men
- 37:29didn't endeavor to destroy women's confidence or less than their self respect. And as
- 37:37far as the dependent and abject life, nobody knows for sure how the ideas
- 37:44of coviture started. Nobody knows for sure whose decision that was that over time
- 37:54women would be become legally under the the wing of their husband. There's probably
- 38:06some history that explains that, and I would bet it traces back to the
- 38:08history that we've talked about in regard to how guinescentrism grew, like how true
- 38:19guyness centrism where it's just about women and not about women's reproductive role, not
- 38:24about children in other words, but just about women. How that grew that
- 38:30came out of remember thirteenth century French aristocracy. So just connecting that back to
- 38:42this, this statement was written by a woman of means, not a woman
- 38:49who worked as a cook or a laundress in somebody's home or in some business
- 38:58somewhere, woman who had money and had the resources to be out speaking and
- 39:06engaging in activism, and had had uh the ability to create an event for
- 39:17women to come to to advocate for this, not just some random So this,
- 39:23this woman of means who was using her husband's money and uh her own
- 39:31to do this is complaining. And and by the way, the woman happens
- 39:38to have partnered with for women who are Quakers, and in the Quaker face
- 39:47women could be preachers. In fact, one of the women involved in the
- 39:52foundation of the the Convention was a pre so this is bullshit. And then
- 40:07we have now in view of this entire disenfranchisement of one half of the people
- 40:15of the country, they finally get to the point. After all these complaints
- 40:19about men we have just in the last two they finally get to the point
- 40:23in view the unjust laws above mentioned. And because women do feel themselves aggrieved,
- 40:29oppressed, and fraudulently deprived of their most sacred rights, we insist that
- 40:34they have immediate admission to all the rights and privileges which belong to them as
- 40:38citizens of the United States. Notice she didn't say anything about responsibilities. You
- 40:49guys, see any equality here? I'm sorry was that on the menu?
- 40:58I thought it was all about give me a one. Gimme women's gives I
- 41:06want? Please? Can I have? Yeah? Rights and responsibilities? What
- 41:14you rights and responsibilities? Give women the ick Hannah. They can't handle that.
- 41:21I'm glad she mentioned privileges. That's kind of interesting. Privileges. Well,
- 41:30you know, even though she maybe uh mistakenly acknowledges that uh, you
- 41:38know, responsibilities come along with those rights, it doesn't mean that she actually
- 41:43has any intention on, you know, trying to preserve those rights on her
- 41:47behalf or the behalf of women. No, they just want that first nice
- 41:52fluffy bit where they get to do stuff and have stuff. Yeah, and
- 41:59have stuff and well, actually yes, and have stuff and not half to
- 42:02do stuff to have stuff. Yep. The women in a fucking nutshell.
- 42:09They just they want it. They want you to give it to them without
- 42:15them having to lift a fucking finger. And it's interesting because they fought for
- 42:20this right, They advocated for this, They went around the campaigned for this,
- 42:24but nowhere did they campaign to if women are supposed to be equally responsible,
- 42:30at no point did they ever suggest that that should extend to the responsibility
- 42:35for one's family. You know, the husband would still be the head of
- 42:38the household. The husband would still have to pay all the bills. The
- 42:43husband would have to be the one that the got treated as you know,
- 42:47the the at fault person in a divorce, even if the wife cheated,
- 42:53even if the wife abused him in other ways, because cheating is abused in
- 42:58my opinion. But but yeah, you know, they she she could,
- 43:04she could, she'd have all the rights. You know, he couldn't tell
- 43:07her what to do with her money, He couldn't he couldn't administrate her money.
- 43:12He couldn't stop her from borrowing money, you know, he couldn't.
- 43:15He couldn't stop her from borrowing money on their home if it's in both of
- 43:19their names, or on on property that she owned, even if it was
- 43:23the property that their kids relied on as a place to live. But uh,
- 43:30but yeah, he would still have to pay all the bills, and
- 43:34then and if they got divorced, he would have to pay her alimony and
- 43:37child support. None of that was challenged by these women. None. The
- 43:43only thing that was challenged was any limitations on a woman's choices and behaviors,
- 43:49no limitations on a man's obligations, which were the reason for those limitations on
- 43:58women's choices. And then she goes on in entering upon the great work before
- 44:05us, we anticipate no small amount of misconception, misrepresentation, and ridicule.
- 44:12But we shall use every instrumentality within our power to affect our object. We
- 44:19shall employ agents, circulate tracts, petition the state and national legislatures. So
- 44:24you mean you're going to ask men for your voting rights and endeavor to enlist
- 44:30the pulpit and the press on our behalf so the people you just said hate
- 44:36women. We hope this convention will be followed by a series of conventions.
- 44:43It was embracing every part of the country, firmly relying upon the final triumph
- 44:51of the right and true. We do this day affix our signatures to this
- 44:55declaration, and then the bunch of them signed it. So they we predicted
- 45:00pushback, and pushback there was, of course, if you ask feminists,
- 45:08they will tell you that historically men opposed women's voting rights and kept women from
- 45:15getting the vote for decades after women started fighting for it. But is that
- 45:21true? So we have some more to look at here. This report is
- 45:29called never a fight of women against men? What textbooks don't say about women's
- 45:35suffrage? Okay, I'm in so just just to point out, like the
- 45:45first thing that she did was in that statement was kind of poison the water
- 45:51that you know, we're gonna get pushed back, people are gonna make fun
- 45:52of us, We're gonna have misconceptions. If you disagree with us, you're
- 45:55wrong, right, And then she admitted that they were going to have to
- 46:00appeal to men for their voting rights. After she'd just spent the whole paper
- 46:07demonizing men like, these guys are monsters. Let's go ask them for help.
- 46:15Yeah, how's that rake that you stepped on? How does that feel
- 46:20like? Seriously so? Suffrage leader Alice Stone Blackwell wrote in nineteen fourteen that
- 46:28the struggle has never been a fight of women against men, but always a
- 46:31broad minded men and women on one side against narrow minded men and women on
- 46:37the other. See. She framed that she couldn't she couldn't gender it,
- 46:45so she she made it out that the women on our side, men and
- 46:49women on our side are are smarter and wiser and yea more forward thinking.
- 46:54Oh no, those other guys, they're just they're dumb. Yep, your
- 47:00rednecks flyover states. Oh wait, that's today. They're they're doing the same
- 47:07thing today, aren't they. Yeah? Absolutely absolutely, Carrie Chapman, Uh
- 47:14cat agreed, almost said Carrie Chapman chat agreed, writing that the enemy of
- 47:21suffrage was not men but resistance to change. Heard that they are not willing
- 47:30to become one with the borg resistance to change. Okay, so sometimes it's
- 47:36good to be resistance to change. Like you get on a jet to fly
- 47:42over from maybe the US to Europe or from Europe to the US and as
- 47:46you're as you're in the sky, you suddenly discover their smoke. There wasn't
- 47:52smoke before. That's change. Something has changed, right, And then you
- 47:57hear this boom and you realize, oh shit, one of the engines just
- 48:02blew up. That is also change, definitely not change that you want.
- 48:07You should be resistant to that change. Be like, no, I hope
- 48:10this doesn't happen, even if there's nothing you can do about it, and
- 48:14be like, oh, you know, maybe I'll pray that this doesn't happen.
- 48:17You know, anything in any anything that you can reach for and grasp
- 48:22for to have that not happen while you're in a jet. I don't like
- 48:24that change, right, So just saying you're resistant to change is stupid.
- 48:31It's a stupid argument because some change can be bad. And if the only
- 48:37argument against your resistance to change is that, well, look at you,
- 48:42you're just resistant to change, Well, yeah, I'm resistant to that change.
- 48:45Okay. Like it's not the same as if you're on that jet and
- 48:50the stewardess comes in and says we're going to upgrade you from the seat you're
- 48:54in to first class because this leg on the bottom of the seat. We
- 49:00just figured out it's it's something wrong with it, and we don't want anything
- 49:02to happen to you. So, but we don't have another seat, and
- 49:06you know we're not gonna charge you for first class. You just gotta go
- 49:08sit in first class. Oh no, poor me, I'm resistant. No,
- 49:14that's not gonna happen. You're gonna go sit in first class because you're
- 49:15not resistant to change, right, You're you're resistant to things that are bad
- 49:22for you, and they might involve change. It's it's a fallacy to argue
- 49:28that you're just resistant to change because you don't like something that has issues.
- 49:37How many students are aware that suffragettes did not see the campaign as a fight
- 49:43of women against men, like I wonder personally, you know that's a that's
- 49:54a good question. Fifteen widely used college textbooks on American history where eas and
- 50:00not one makes this clear. Not one, nor did these textbooks include Susan
- 50:07B. Anthony's statements that women's suffrage laws probably never would have passed if it
- 50:14had been up to women to vote on them, and that men were actually
- 50:21more progressive about women's suffrage than women were stated in nineteen oh two, that's
- 50:29particularly interesting to me, Right, why would so many men want women to
- 50:36vote? If men, if misogyny was the way of the time, if
- 50:45men were pressing women because they thought women were inferior, why would they want
- 50:50women to vote? Right? Well, I mean to ask the question is
- 50:53to answer it, you know, And it's because it wasn't that way,
- 50:59you know. And it's just like what the sentence was asking before about how
- 51:07many college students were aware of it. Well, you know, they're probably
- 51:13off doing their own thing, living their own life, not even thinking about
- 51:16this. As most people are, you know, as charged politically as our
- 51:24society is right now, the number of people that just don't care or pay
- 51:30attention is sad. It's disturbing, it's astonishing, But you know, that's
- 51:38just the reality of things. Most people aren't that tuned in. They've got
- 51:44their own shit going on, you know. But yeah, no, it's
- 51:52never been the case that men have wanted to keep women down, and there's
- 51:58nothing that we ever looked at that has proven that in any way. It
- 52:05kind of makes you wonder, you know, the whole the trope, the
- 52:10feminist trope of men wanting to keep women barefoot, pregnant and in the kitchen.
- 52:16Like, if if men really wanted that, then why did they push
- 52:22women to go to work and why did they push women to vote? Because
- 52:28both of those efforts were led by men, Right, both of those issues
- 52:37were led by men. It wasn't women going, we desperately want to work,
- 52:40we desperately want out of the house. People make it out like that,
- 52:45like feminist women, like the privileged, wealthy feminist women in particular,
- 52:52they pushed it, but you didn't really necessarily see a lot of middle class
- 53:00women pushing it. You didn't see a lot of poor women pushing it because
- 53:02they were already out of the houseworking. They were already making money. They
- 53:07weren't making as much as their husbands, but they were making enough to at
- 53:10least keep their their families heads above water financially. So women that cleaned other
- 53:17people's houses for a living, women that watched other people's kids for a living,
- 53:22women that did other people's laundry for a living, and in particular,
- 53:27you know those women that did other people's laundry for a living, they were
- 53:31dirt poor, and they got injured on the regular. Some of them got
- 53:36really badly injured doing their work and still managed to live in poverty. I
- 53:44think their families barely had anything. So so yeah, you kind of wonder
- 53:52why who really pushed women into the workplace, who made that that seem attractive
- 54:00to women who were not doing it out of necessity, because I don't I
- 54:06don't think it was women. The women who were already doing it would have
- 54:09given their eye teeth to get out of it. And the women who didn't
- 54:17have to and weren't wealthy and bored, who had a lot of stuff to
- 54:22do, who took care of their own kids and did their own laundry and
- 54:24their own cooking, they weren't pushing for it. They weren't trying to get
- 54:29out of the house. You know, they could go, they could go
- 54:32places if they wanted to. They didn't have to go get a job.
- 54:37They were pretty happy about that. Actually, it's the women who had somebody
- 54:43coming in to do their laundry, had governesses and nannies and you know,
- 54:49so on to take care of their kids. I had Mary pop and show
- 54:53up and take their kids on weird trips to magical places, and didn't you
- 55:00know, do their own cooking. Either had had a cook or went out
- 55:07to eat all the time because they were socialites. Like those women pushed for
- 55:13women to get jobs, and those women pushed for women to get the vote.
- 55:21So he says, in fact, there were many sides to the issue,
- 55:23in each point of view had both male and female supporters. So it
- 55:29sounds a lot like politics today. There's not really any you know, feminism
- 55:32has men and women involved. The men's rights movement has men and women involved.
- 55:38Anti feminism has men and women involved. Right and conservatism, which is
- 55:45sort of a different facet, it's got some anti feminism involved in it.
- 55:50They might think their men's rights activists, some of them maybe understand the issues.
- 55:55Some of them understand some of the issues, but they're not quite feminine.
- 56:00They're not quite MRAs, and they're not quite anti feminists. So they
- 56:02would be another facet. But there's men and women involved in that too.
- 56:07Right, Every facet of the political spectrum has men and women involved. There's
- 56:14not anything that is just all men, even the in cell communication community about
- 56:22the in cell population. The in cell population might be all men, but
- 56:27the community that discusses it and treats it as a political issue that has men
- 56:32and women on both sides too. This paper, he says, explores the
- 56:39paradox of why intelligent, progressive, capable women led the organized opposition to women's
- 56:47suffrage. It looks like it looks at some reasons for their opposition, the
- 56:57problem of the uninformed voter, the idea that civic minded women had more power
- 57:01without the vote, and the suffragists many public relations problems. So we're going
- 57:07to look at you know, this statement again. Carrie Chapman kat said the
- 57:14enemy of suffrage was not men but resistance to change, and Alice Stone Blackwell
- 57:19wrote that always broad minded men and women on the side of suffrage against narrow
- 57:28minded men and women on the other side. But the paper points out intelligent,
- 57:35progressive, capable women led the organized opposition to women's suffrage. So this
- 57:39is going to be I think that's going to be interesting. Finally, it
- 57:43explores the origin of the usual women versus men view of the suffrage struggle and
- 57:47suggests how suggests change and how this phase of history is taught. So he
- 57:54starts with women's opposition to suffrage. Oh yeah, packard excellence, women's work
- 58:04injuries, not counting working women getting assaulted by their coworkers. So you know,
- 58:08men and women have been at like, sexual harassment is a real thing.
- 58:12It's happened to both sexes in the workplace and everything. But it's interesting
- 58:17how as soon as women started getting paid awards for in court for complaining about
- 58:27it, the incidents went up significantly, and all of a sudden, there
- 58:32were women experiencing harassment like no, nobody's business. Something I'll probably have to
- 58:39look into in the future. How did making it something you could sue for
- 58:45and get big, big money instead of just get the employer held accountable or
- 58:52the coworker held accountable when somebody engages in inappropriate behavior like that, regardless of
- 59:00the sex of the worker and regardless of the sex of the person who was
- 59:02harassing them like that, That change, I think encouraged a lot of false
- 59:08allegations in my opinion. But in any case, going on, women's opposition
- 59:19was an embarrassing problem that plagued the suffrage movement from the cical Seneca Falls Convention
- 59:27in eighteen forty eight to the ratification of the Nineteenth Amendment in nineteen twenty.
- 59:34Despite one textbooks claim that the Seneca Falls Reformers spoke for all American women,
- 59:42they always do that, don't they we speak for all women, and then
- 59:46when you oppose them, well, we didn't mean you. Oh yeah,
- 59:54Packard, I forgot. I wasn't even thinking about myself. Not I forgot
- 59:59that it happened, but I forgot to consider myself. Yeah, I was
- 1:00:02injured in the workplace in twenty nineteen because a female colleague assaulted me. It
- 1:00:07wasn't sexual. It was pretty violent, actually, and it was over something
- 1:00:14stupid. Really. I can't explain any further because it's a medical environment.
- 1:00:21But if you understood the facts the situation, it would be embarrassing to consider
- 1:00:31what this woman did and why it Just what can I compare it to?
- 1:00:43Hmm? I have to think about that. I'll explain if I can come
- 1:00:47up with a comparison that won't give away anybody's private medical information. So anyway,
- 1:01:00Elizabeth Katy Stanton spoke of the oops I moved. That spoke of the
- 1:01:05contempt from which or with which women themselves regard the movement. It is met
- 1:01:10by scornful the scornful curl of the lip and expression of ridicule and disgust.
- 1:01:17Sounds like feminism wasn't very popular when it started. Gee, I wonder why,
- 1:01:25Yeah, that's like, that's kind of interesting because we get told all
- 1:01:30the time that the feminist movement started because women, the population, all women
- 1:01:37everywhere, were just fed up with being oppressed by men, And yet we're
- 1:01:45hearing that privileged Elizabeth Katie Stanton spoke of the contempt with which women themselves regard
- 1:01:53the movement. They're scornful and they're disgusted. Now, I wonder which women
- 1:01:58she was talking about. Women's support gradually increased nationwide, but even at the
- 1:02:13time of the final victory in nineteen twenty, suffrage leader Carrie Chapman Katt estimated
- 1:02:19in a letter that only about a third of women supported suffrage, one third
- 1:02:23opposed it, and one third didn't care. So a third of women were
- 1:02:30completely indifferent to whether or not they voted, and feminists claimed to speak for
- 1:02:36them, and a third of women opposed getting voting rights, and feminists claim
- 1:02:40to speak for them too. And I would like to know how many women
- 1:02:44they polled when they made that, you know, when I came up with
- 1:02:49those numbers, one third, one third, one third, Yeah, it
- 1:02:52might have been I mean, it might have been even more women that either
- 1:02:55opposed or were indifferent or didn't yeah, I would agree with that, Yeah,
- 1:03:01especially just from the standpoint of you know, a woman who has lived
- 1:03:07in modern times in a situation of economic distress, I wouldn't say our family
- 1:03:14was in abject poverty because we always had food and you know, I but
- 1:03:20with both of us working and everything, our basic needs were met by our
- 1:03:24income, all right, But it was a lot of work bringing those resources
- 1:03:31in. We worked very hard for very little, both of us for years,
- 1:03:36and I didn't I wouldn't have had time to consider that, you know,
- 1:03:45a group of women was advocating in my family's name, a bunch of
- 1:03:51stuff that was an attack on my husband. If it wasn't for the fact
- 1:03:54that we also had to help a friend's family over over and over again,
- 1:04:00one friend after another through legal battles where the system was attacking the husband or
- 1:04:08another family member that was a man or a boy on the basis of his
- 1:04:15sex because of feminist lobbied law. That's the only reason that I actually became
- 1:04:23aware of the systemic issues. Right. And like imagine women back in these
- 1:04:30days right where you actually had there was no McDonald's, right, you actually
- 1:04:36had to make your own food. You know, you had from scratch you
- 1:04:41had from scratch from scratch, you had to cook, you had to clean.
- 1:04:46You didn't have all these machines that did all that shit for you.
- 1:04:49There were no microwaves, no, you know what I mean, And there
- 1:04:56was none of that. So women back in those days, their minds were
- 1:05:00occupied with the maintenance of the house, right they didn't have time to give
- 1:05:06a damn about you know, politics. That was in the natural order of
- 1:05:13things. I'm sorry, maybe that that's in my view, in the natural
- 1:05:16order of things, the person who is providing the finance for the home,
- 1:05:23if that's both of you, then fine that that is where you know,
- 1:05:27the decisions about politics and how we're going to use this right that we have
- 1:05:34or privilege or whatever to vote. This is the direction that we're going to
- 1:05:41go in. Because our family is eating very well right now, we would
- 1:05:46like for this to you know, prosper so we don't want to vote for
- 1:05:53the guy that doesn't share our political values. You know it. At best,
- 1:05:58it might have been a discussion over the dinner table, yeah, you
- 1:06:00know, but it just women back then did not care. They didn't have
- 1:06:08the capacity to do that, I mean. And we say all of that
- 1:06:13and This is on top of having to care for themselves as women. You
- 1:06:18know, yeah, they still had menstrual cycles every month, you know what
- 1:06:25I mean, which must have been horrific to deal with back in the days.
- 1:06:28But you know, there was so much that women had to do because
- 1:06:33they had responsibilities, you know, yes, yeah, so back in that
- 1:06:44day, back in the day, all right, if your children got sick,
- 1:06:48you didn't, you didn't you may you might take them to a doctor.
- 1:06:53But even if you even if you couldn't get a doctor, you know,
- 1:06:56or the doctor might come to your house. But they didn't go convalesce
- 1:07:00in the hospital unless they were dying. And even if they were dying,
- 1:07:03sometimes they didn't go convalesce in the hospital. You provided twenty four to seven
- 1:07:09care. You were the ones sitting next to the bedside and spooning soup or
- 1:07:15water into their mouths if they couldn't drink and eat, and changing compresses and
- 1:07:23trying to bring their fever to a safe level and so on like that was
- 1:07:29women just did that, you know, women, And it was it was
- 1:07:34normal. It wasn't adversity. It was normal. And and on top of
- 1:07:42that, you know, you had people don't understand how intricate housekeeping was one
- 1:07:49hundred years ago, even even forty years ago, it was much more intricate
- 1:07:55than it is now because people buy boxed mixes for everything. People buy he
- 1:08:00made food and put it on the table. People who don't do that are
- 1:08:04healthier. Right, if you go get I still have to go get raw
- 1:08:09ingredients and cook because we're allergic to too many things in our household. To
- 1:08:14go buy you have to read the list of ingredients on the side of the
- 1:08:18box for everything. If you want to get box food everything, you'd be
- 1:08:24amazed, Like I can't even go to the grocery store and buy a pie,
- 1:08:30all right, because in our house we have a food allergy too sweet
- 1:08:36peas, and up until recently, I say recently, meeting the last four
- 1:08:43or five years, five or six years, somewhere in there, you could
- 1:08:46just go out and buy a pie and there would be for the most part,
- 1:08:48you know, you just avoided stuff that had any any of the spices.
- 1:08:53There are some spices we have food allergies too, right, and they're
- 1:08:57not deadly food allergies. There's there there. Your body detects this in the
- 1:09:01stomach and goes okay, no, and gives it back. So it's it's
- 1:09:05it's that kind of food allergy, right, but pea protein is now being
- 1:09:11put into baked goods for some unknown reason. Sweet pea protein sounds like you
- 1:09:16know you're in but I and so we we had a pie one day and
- 1:09:24our you know, our our food allergy person gave it back, and uh,
- 1:09:30I'm like, what the hell you know? So I started, we
- 1:09:31start examining the pie. There's nothing wrong with it. It smelled fine,
- 1:09:34it looked fine. So we started reading the ingredients and we're like, what
- 1:09:38the fuck? Why is there sweet pea protein? Why is there pea protein
- 1:09:42in this? There is no need. I've made pies from scratch, like
- 1:09:46totally from scratch. Not just buy pie filling at the store in a can
- 1:09:51and put it in a ready made pie shell. But the raw ingredients for
- 1:09:56the pie shell, make the pie, pie crust, dough, cook the
- 1:10:00pine crestdo a little bit cut up fruit, add seasonings and sugar and stuff,
- 1:10:06and put it in that and cook it like that kind of from scratch.
- 1:10:12You don't need pea protein. There is no part of the recipe that
- 1:10:15requires you to add that. No, well, you know there there are
- 1:10:23even now, because keto is the big craze right right, So there are
- 1:10:28products out on the market like Ketou tortillas, but you flip the package over
- 1:10:33and it's full of like wheat flour. It's not keto. That's not keto
- 1:10:40at all. But the only thing that they have on there that is Keto
- 1:10:45is that it has stevia instead of regular cane sugar. Yeah, which may
- 1:10:50be okay, yeah, but you know, we have a food sensitivity to
- 1:10:55stevia in our house too. It's not it's not an allergy. It doesn't
- 1:11:00like nobody gets hives or throws up or anything, but it tastes. It
- 1:11:03tastes really really bitter, Like even the ones that are normally pretty decent,
- 1:11:10like the non stevia sensitivity person in our house can can eat stevia and be
- 1:11:15like, yeah, that tastes fine to me, and the other person tastes
- 1:11:18and it's like, oh my god. You know, his lips get sucked
- 1:11:25into his face from how bitter it is. Bitter beer face is nothing compared
- 1:11:29to bitter bitter stevia face. You just you guys have no idea. But
- 1:11:33yeah, women, women back in the day, like when my description of
- 1:11:38making a pie. They would have been completely like, Oh, yeah,
- 1:11:40that's how you that's that's the only way to have a pie. You can't
- 1:11:44just go to the store and buy one maybe a baker, but that's expensive,
- 1:11:47right, And the same they'd say the same thing about bread. They'd
- 1:11:49say the same thing about a pot roast. They'd say the same thing about
- 1:11:54if you were gonna have sushi, you'd make your own sushi. You didn't
- 1:11:58go to some like you wouldn't by a sushie at the grocery store ten years
- 1:12:01ago, five years ago for the most part, right right, you know,
- 1:12:06but one hundred years ago, you could buy a bread at the grocery
- 1:12:11store, but it was cheaper to make your own. You could buy a
- 1:12:13lot of things at the grocery store, but it was cheaper to make your
- 1:12:15own. You had your own garden out in the backyard, if you didn't
- 1:12:19live in an apartment, you grew some of your own food. Yeah,
- 1:12:24right, Like that was that was typical. It wasn't a luxury. It
- 1:12:30wasn't a thing people did because they were progressive and forward thinking. It was
- 1:12:34a thing people did because they were broke and hungry. It was a necessity.
- 1:12:40Yeah, absolutely. In fact, one hundred years ago, one hundred
- 1:12:44years ago, because of oh shit, the law, the eighteenth Amendment,
- 1:12:54the Temperance Amendment, people were actually making their own alcohol too, bathtub gin,
- 1:13:01which people some people died from consuming because they accidentally made the wrong kind
- 1:13:09of alcohol and didn't realize it and you know, drank poison. Basically.
- 1:13:16Yeah, that's like you look up what happened with bathtub gin that that amendment,
- 1:13:26which by the way, was lobbied for by women and usually one people
- 1:13:34wonder why I went off the way I did the other night about repealing the
- 1:13:38fucking nineteen Sorry if you weren't there for that, sorry, you need to
- 1:13:43become a member of our discord channel if you would like to hear the after
- 1:13:45shows, because that's where a lot of the things get hot. But yeah,
- 1:13:51no, I I am so seriously about that conversation. Maybe not appeal
- 1:14:00maybe amended, right, I think it needs to be amended. But yeah,
- 1:14:08no, sorry, go ahead. Yeah, the temperance movement actually happened
- 1:14:15before women got voting rights. Women could not vote when the eighteenth eighteenth Amendment
- 1:14:21was was debated, circulated, written, you know, for all the states
- 1:14:30you know, voted on by the States ratified and so on and became law.
- 1:14:36Women were not able to vote, but they were the driving force behind
- 1:14:42its adoption. They were the driving force behind its ratification. And it was
- 1:14:48illegal to produce transport, store transport, and sell alcohol in the United States
- 1:15:00during that time. You know, after that, after that was passed.
- 1:15:05And if you want to see a depiction of making bathtub gin, watch the
- 1:15:13version of Little Orphanani that has Carol Arnette. And it should have watched that
- 1:15:16anyway, because it's a great performance by Carol Vernett. But I mean everything
- 1:15:23she did was so But in any case like that, and yes, Richard
- 1:15:28Bierre, you nailed it right. There's the power of nagging right there.
- 1:15:33Although the temperance movement was also violent, like Carrie Nation used to go into
- 1:15:39bars with an axe. This was not a little woman either. She was
- 1:15:44six feet tall, big, big woman. She just looked like a man
- 1:15:47in a dress would go into into bars and with an axe and just fuck
- 1:15:53people, shut up. She broke things, she cut up tables, she
- 1:15:57destroyed the alcohol. She was really scared and the women that ran with her
- 1:16:02were pretty scary too. So so there was that, but there was a
- 1:16:06lot of a lot of it was just about nagging and and yeah, they
- 1:16:13got that done. They didn't need to vote to get that done. And
- 1:16:15it wasn't good for the country when they did it. It created the first
- 1:16:24the first basically the first drug dealers, the organized crime around being drug dealers,
- 1:16:29the drug being alcohol, and the networks that were created because of that
- 1:16:36made organized crime. It took organized crime from being a problem in New York
- 1:16:41to a nationwide problem. It could have been a problem that was quashed in
- 1:16:47New York, but instead it ended up being a problem that will never go
- 1:16:51away because as long as there are things that people want that are illegal to
- 1:16:58have or that that uh people need that they can't use legal channels to get,
- 1:17:05there will be organized crime. Now, thanks women, you made the
- 1:17:12pathway for that, and feminis is gonna be like, yeah, but but
- 1:17:17organized crime is men. No, there are men and women involved in organized
- 1:17:21crime, and the women are that are involved are are no less culpable.
- 1:17:27Right, both sexes are involved in that. But it was mainly women that
- 1:17:30nagged the country into outlawing alcohol. So yeah, back in the day,
- 1:17:35if people wanted booze, they had to make their own booze. Too.
- 1:17:41And uh, you know, when you cooked, it was entirely, entirely
- 1:17:47bye bye by scratch or from scratch by hand. You hand needed dough to
- 1:17:55make bread. You didn't have bread machines unless you ran a factor. You
- 1:18:00didn't have bread machines. You didn't have an electric stove and an electric oven.
- 1:18:08You had gas if you were if you were lucky, but you didn't
- 1:18:11have you know, you didn't have Actually, in the nineteenth nineteenth century,
- 1:18:17they may not even have been have done that. But yeah, one hundred
- 1:18:21years ago, they didn't have any of the conveniences that we have now.
- 1:18:26So the women that were opposed to feminism, a lot of them might have
- 1:18:30been opposed to suffrage and feminist progressive ideas because they were seeing how much more
- 1:18:41complicated and stressful, difficult and dangerous it would make their lives. You know.
- 1:18:49Yeah, they're cooking on wood stoves. A lot of people were cooking
- 1:18:53on wood stoves. And you didn't go buy a cake mix, right.
- 1:18:57You bought the ingredients for a cake, the scratch ingredients. You bought your
- 1:19:02flour, you bought your sugar, you butt your eggs, and you put
- 1:19:08milk in the cake. You didn't put water in the cake. Yeah,
- 1:19:12you bought your milk if you didn't have a cow, if you didn't have
- 1:19:15chickens, you know, and you didn't grow your own wheat, and forget
- 1:19:20about oven temperatures please. You stuck it in there, and you checked every
- 1:19:26once in a while to make sure that it didn't burn you. Yeah,
- 1:19:30there's no widds to three fifty. Nope, there is no set to three
- 1:19:35hundred and fifty degrees. There was. You put the cake in to a
- 1:19:40gas of an if you were really wealthy, I think they, I think
- 1:19:42it might have had them at that point. But you put it in woodstoves.
- 1:19:45You put it in over hot coals or hot hot hot, not coals.
- 1:19:51But uh, I can't think of the term woodchips that you would have
- 1:20:01been cut up right. Or you put it in a pot. You put
- 1:20:05the pan in a pot that hung from a bar across your you're the bottom
- 1:20:14of your chip over your fire. Mm hm m hm. So uh And
- 1:20:20there's there's and there's a reason that food that is cooked over an open flame,
- 1:20:29you know, with like wood chips or or you know, some kind
- 1:20:32of wood smoked flavor, it tastes so much better than just you know,
- 1:20:42I haven't, like, I haven't electric. Still I deal with it,
- 1:20:45but you know, yeah, it's it's just so much better. At least
- 1:20:50it tastes better in my opinion. You know, when you cook like that
- 1:20:55over an open flame. You know, it's it's just more back to nature
- 1:21:02in the way things that we were done, you know, the things that
- 1:21:06we are kind of instinctively attracted too, you know, with our sensory you
- 1:21:16know, our taste buds and things like that. But well, by the
- 1:21:19by the twenties, gas ranges were like I'm looking at a report. This
- 1:21:27is on Weebley, so I don't know, but I'm looking at a report
- 1:21:30here that by the nineteen twenties, this this is local. Zanesville is close
- 1:21:36to to here where I am. But by the nineteen twenties it says even
- 1:21:42many hard pressed families got gas had gas ranges in Zanesville, Ohio, where
- 1:21:45seventy percent of homes earned less than an amount considered comfortable, ninety percent had
- 1:21:49a gas range. And it cites a source Cohen, nineteen eighty three and
- 1:21:56page numbers and stuff. So there's it's a research paper. But so natural
- 1:22:00gas, you know, they they had that. But and and I don't
- 1:22:04think charcoal was the word I was looking for. I think it was just
- 1:22:09wood chip wood chips, although they might have called it that. I don't
- 1:22:12know. But when I was talking about cooking over hot coals, I was
- 1:22:15talking about actual chunks of coal, like, not process. But yeah,
- 1:22:20I would say probably, at least in cities, it was pretty common to
- 1:22:26have. You know, now, the phrase now you're cooking with gas probably
- 1:22:31is about how much easier it was to have a consistent outcome in your cooking
- 1:22:39with your food when you got a gas range instead of trying to cook over
- 1:22:44again. An oven that was like that was also the heater for the household
- 1:22:50back in the day, like you're you didn't You didn't shut it off,
- 1:22:55You didn't put the fire out in the winter time, you kept it going
- 1:22:59all all the time, and in the summertime you suffered when when you cooked.
- 1:23:05Yeah, do you remember, because I distinctly remember the jingle from an
- 1:23:13ad campaign about switching your house over to oil or to gas, and it
- 1:23:19was oil heats a dinosaur, Oil heats a dinosaur. Do you remember that?
- 1:23:25Don't? I don't, But that sounds like it sounds like something that
- 1:23:30will come out of the nineteen seventies. Yeah, yeah, and that's well,
- 1:23:33it's at least in the eighties, because I remember that distinctly. Oil
- 1:23:39heats a dinosaur, oh my god. Yeah. And it was just a
- 1:23:43ploy to get people to switch over to gas for heating their homes. And
- 1:23:49so my dad was a steam fitter and so he always dealt with oil.
- 1:23:55We had an oil tank in the house. Yeah, you know, and
- 1:24:00you know, because he knew how to work on it, you know,
- 1:24:01he could fix it himself. He didn't have to go call someone to come
- 1:24:05and fix his place, you know, he did it himself. So yeah,
- 1:24:12but that that's just crazy that you mentioned that about like the gas and
- 1:24:17stuff. Yeah, yep. And and those were there were households, there
- 1:24:25were whole households that were that were heated before you had gas heat and before
- 1:24:32electricity existed. Every household that needed heat had a wood stove. And like
- 1:24:42you call it a wood stove, but you could put it was just basically
- 1:24:47a iron enclosed fireplace. Yeah, and uh, it would. My parents
- 1:24:57used to talk about remembering their grandparents' house having those. My my dad used
- 1:25:05to go stay on his grandma's farm all the time. And you know,
- 1:25:09my mom visited my my grandfather's mother. My uh, my great grandfather,
- 1:25:17by the way, was murdered by the mafia. That's that's a whole different
- 1:25:25story. He was, he was not a wise man, and he got
- 1:25:28himself into a very stupid situation. And uh, you know he was.
- 1:25:31He was murdered by the mafia for doing something that you if you understand about
- 1:25:40their culture, you don't do. But in any case, that the the
- 1:25:47stove. My mom's first really serious injury was uh, she was told not
- 1:25:55to touch the wood stove because it was red, part of it was read,
- 1:26:00and she was, you know, defiant, you tell me what to
- 1:26:04do, I'm gonna go touch it. And she she learned it when somebody
- 1:26:09says don't touch that, that there's probably a reason and she should listen.
- 1:26:15And that was that was pretty much the same sort of I got told that
- 1:26:18story after I stuck my foot in hot colls to see if they were still
- 1:26:21hot and got through degree burns on my foot. So in any case,
- 1:26:28it's like, don't feel bad. I did the same thing in defiance of
- 1:26:30my grandmother. Because women are brilliant, we all do stupid shit. Like
- 1:26:36that, right, don't you tell me what to do. You can't tell
- 1:26:39me what to Oh why did you make me get hurt? Right? Right?
- 1:26:46So yeah, because it's always someone else's fault when it can. So
- 1:26:53there were there were when when they write when he writes that that, uh,
- 1:27:03they're they're talking about a third didn't care. I I agree. I
- 1:27:11think that it's more than that a third didn't even have time to think about
- 1:27:14it. Yeah, maybe half or more didn't care. And those that opposed
- 1:27:19it were people in that situation that didn't really have time to think about but
- 1:27:25somebody made them anyway, somebody gave them a reason why they had no choice.
- 1:27:29All right, we got to think about it's fine, don't do it.
- 1:27:31This is we're we already got enough on our plate. Don't do this.
- 1:27:34And the suffragettes were like, well, we represent you anyway, kind
- 1:27:40of kind of like what uh Jessica Valinti said to the public when Women against
- 1:27:46Feminism came out, like oh you might you might oppose us, but we're
- 1:27:51we're gonna we're gonna fight for your rights anyway. You know what rights,
- 1:27:58Well, feminism isn't fighting for any legal rights that men have that women don't.
- 1:28:03But they are fighting for the ability of mothers who divorce the fathers of
- 1:28:10their children to then shut the father out of the child's life. Not really
- 1:28:15a right, but definitely something that feminists want women to be able to do.
- 1:28:25In her book Women's Suffrage in Politics in nineteen twenty three, Kat wrote,
- 1:28:31oh, Kat claimed the support of most or all women, as suffragettes
- 1:28:34have been doing for decades. In her book Women's Suffrage in Politics nineteen twenty
- 1:28:39three, she wrote that suffragists represented an unmistakable popular demand for a just cause
- 1:28:50right, unmistakable and just. So those are characterizations unmistakeable popular demand demand.
- 1:29:03Uh whatever, I just where are you getting this from? There? They're
- 1:29:14using weasel words. Yep, this is neo weasel words. That's the thing.
- 1:29:20I'm making it a thing well, and and the thing that really bothers
- 1:29:26me about the history here, Like they're talking about this like women universally wanted
- 1:29:32to face all of the hardships that that would come with gaining the rights that
- 1:29:42they were fighting for, and they like, there were a lot of women
- 1:29:45that looked at the situation, Oh, you want the same rights as men.
- 1:29:48Okay, Men are the shield between women and the entire legal system.
- 1:29:56So if we get the same rights as men, we're vulnerable to the entire
- 1:30:00legal system. Right if we fuck up now, we can go to jail,
- 1:30:03we can get fined, we can be sued. Like this is a
- 1:30:06scary prospect if you know you're shielded and you can act with impunity and you're
- 1:30:11accustomed to that, you know, same thing with debt, Same thing with
- 1:30:20especially if women had relied on their husbands to tell them what was okay in
- 1:30:27regard to spending, and they didn't have to think about budgeting and they didn't
- 1:30:30have to think about any of that. They just said I need this much
- 1:30:33for our household needs, and the husband would just do the work it took
- 1:30:39to get that money, or point out that, hey, that's this percent
- 1:30:43of how much I bring in. They're discussing coal versus coke in the chat,
- 1:30:53Which coke because we have you see if I can so for for okay,
- 1:31:11let's see if I can find coke. Coke was a It wasn't It
- 1:31:18wasn't cocaine, and it wasn't coca cola. It was another substance that you
- 1:31:24burned. And I thought I could easily look up the process. It's made
- 1:31:28out of coal. Yeah, here we go, here we go. Okay,
- 1:31:35Uh, that's just an AI overview. That's but it's probably it's probably
- 1:31:45correct because I'm looking at the sources it drew on and only one of them
- 1:31:51looks us and it's Wikipedia, but the other two are more One of them's
- 1:31:58the National Coal Mining Museum, So I think that's pretty uh yeah, but
- 1:32:05it's it's made by refining coal by heating coal or oil without air in a
- 1:32:13process called coking that creates this porous substance that burns cleaner and better than like
- 1:32:23raw coal. Oh, that's neat. The packard has a book that tells
- 1:32:30you how to refine it by packard. That's valuable. You should hold on
- 1:32:35to that. Put it, put it in in uh uh one of those
- 1:32:41things, one of those plastic covers that that you get for comic books,
- 1:32:45and seal it and keep it. Don't let anything happen to that, especially
- 1:32:49now because you know all the all the talk of an apocalypse and a collapse
- 1:32:55and everything. You might need it. That knowledge would be very valuable,
- 1:33:04very important to not lose it. But yeah, so going on, just
- 1:33:10to settle the cocaine, Yeah, No, they didn't burn cocaine. Why
- 1:33:15would people have a lot of energy there be Like, well, they would
- 1:33:18think they did anyway, just just from personal experience being the sober person in
- 1:33:25the room around people that have been using drugs and alcohol, people who have
- 1:33:29used cocaine think that they are on fast forward, but they're not. Just
- 1:33:39they're not. In her book, oh I read that part of our suffrage
- 1:33:45leader Abigail Scott Dunway of Oregon similarly clouded the issue of women's support. Oh
- 1:33:55I left out Kat didn't mention her observation that only a minority of women supported
- 1:34:02their own right to vote. So Abigail Scott then clouded the issue of women's
- 1:34:05support, claiming that the silent majority of women wanted suffrage, well, also
- 1:34:12admitting that suffragists do not claim or even desire much numerical strength. So everywhere
- 1:34:20the suffrage fucking you with silent majority, if you're the fucking majority, Yeah,
- 1:34:32okay, sorry that that just does not make any fucking sense to me,
- 1:34:36because if that's the case, then number one, they're not silent.
- 1:34:41And if that's not the case, then where are you getting these fucking numbers
- 1:34:46from? And it's annoying. It's annoying. And Derek, yes, coke
- 1:34:55is used in making a steal. In fact, it's essential to the process.
- 1:35:00It's in order to get the level of heat that you need. It
- 1:35:05might might might still be, but it definitely yeah, to make steel in
- 1:35:13a blast furnace anyway. So yeah, but but yeah, so and that's
- 1:35:19something like most most women probably wouldn't care about. But men, men put
- 1:35:28that together. Men did that, and we have steel because men tried out
- 1:35:34things like that, experimented and tested and uh dealt with the oppressive heat.
- 1:35:42And I don't know what it's like in in a plant that that works with
- 1:35:46steel, but I was a security guard and a plant that did aluminum molding
- 1:35:54for for car parts. And when you went into the area outside the room
- 1:36:01where like there was a there was a room where the molds were and the
- 1:36:08aluminum would be poured into molds and they would go through the process of curing
- 1:36:14or whatever. Outside of that room, it was super hot, like the
- 1:36:19kind of heat where if I went in there for very long, I would
- 1:36:24start having symptoms of heat sickness. So I was in there just long enough.
- 1:36:29There were some gadgets that I had to check to make sure the arm
- 1:36:34on the dial hadn't moved into the red zone, and I had a number
- 1:36:38to call if it did right, and if it moved into the yellow zone,
- 1:36:43I had to call that number. Actually it had to be in the
- 1:36:45green zone, and because they don't want something to explode, basically, and
- 1:36:51if it's in the red zone, you get the fuck out of there.
- 1:36:54But in any case like that, that heat was bad and that wasn't the
- 1:37:00hottest place. I didn't have to go into the hottest part of the factory,
- 1:37:05so I like there were men that worked in there, and it was
- 1:37:13just unbelievable how hot that was. But yeah, women not very much,
- 1:37:19not so much. And Packard says aluminum has a several hundred lower melting temperature
- 1:37:30than steel. That makes sense because aluminum is is the softer, not as
- 1:37:35sturdy, so it would take more to melt steel to make steel. But
- 1:37:43yeah, again, you know women, women wanting equality and then us being
- 1:37:49able to talk about that at the same time. It's an interest is an
- 1:37:53interesting juxtaposition because there were men. There have always been men who have done
- 1:37:59those jobs because they need the amount of money that those jobs pay, and
- 1:38:05those jobs pay more because of the hardship and the danger. Like heat sickness
- 1:38:11is something that can happen to anybody, and it's really life threatening, very
- 1:38:15dangerous. I experienced the border between heat exhaustion and heat stroke once and ever
- 1:38:26since then I've been I've had a weakness to high levels of heat. And
- 1:38:32that was not even in an environment like that. I was in a kitchen.
- 1:38:38It was not even super hot in comparison, like I've worked in hotter
- 1:38:43environments than that in the past. It's just that my employer didn't properly ventilate
- 1:38:48the kitchen at at that location. So but men do those jobs, and
- 1:38:56men made those jobs that were so much more more dangerous and so much harder
- 1:39:01to do and so much heavier, and just did them. They just always
- 1:39:06did them. But yeah, and it's an interesting juxtaposition with these women right,
- 1:39:19sort of whining for the same rights as men, knowing full well that
- 1:39:26they don't have to do the overwhelming majority of things that men do to keep
- 1:39:29society running. They don't face the things that men face that inform their voting.
- 1:39:38Albert Nada Retro gave us two dollars Canadian and said Suffragette's silent ha and
- 1:39:45that that is absolutely fabulous. Meredith g gave us five dollars and said,
- 1:39:50HBr talk three eighteen honey for the Badgers. I tip you because you're worth
- 1:39:55it. Thanks for the great conversation, and thank you Meredith, and I
- 1:40:00better look, I don't have the chat open. There we go in Brave
- 1:40:09and somebody had asked, do we get anything from Rumble Rants? We do,
- 1:40:16but Feed the Badger gives us everything, and even Rumble has to take
- 1:40:23a cut, like they can't make their money if they don't, right,
- 1:40:26So, but if you're gonna tip us through something other than Feed the Badger,
- 1:40:33I genuinely would rather it be Rumble than YouTube personally, although I do
- 1:40:44see the YouTube super chats and I will read them and so you know if
- 1:40:49you if you must, But I like the hierarchy there Feed the Badger.
- 1:40:58It gives us the most. Rumble Rants support a platform that isn't going to
- 1:41:05censor you or us or punish you or us for controversial speech, So there
- 1:41:15you go. I won't say anything about any other platform because I don't want
- 1:41:18to get in trouble. So yeah, the statement that they don't need very
- 1:41:27many women to sign on to claim that they represent women is quite an interesting
- 1:41:32one. Feminists have done that the whole time. They have claimed the whole
- 1:41:39time that they have the support of the majority of women, and then when
- 1:41:44you show them evidence, like there are surveys throughout history that say that women
- 1:41:51do not support the feminist movement, some of them have said, you know,
- 1:41:57like eighteen percent of women do. There was one that that only twelve
- 1:42:00percent of women would call themselves feminists and supported the feminist movement, supported feminist
- 1:42:06organizations and stuff. I've seen ones that ask about specific feminist organizations where women
- 1:42:13actually seem to hate those organizations en mass, and there aren't very many women
- 1:42:18who are members and don't most women don't want to be involved. And they'll
- 1:42:24try to parlay twelve percent into a majority by saying things like, well,
- 1:42:30women, when they're surveyed about the issues, they believe in equality, they
- 1:42:35support equality, they just don't like feminism and don't want to call themselves feminists,
- 1:42:40so they are feminists because they don't understand what feminism is. That's the
- 1:42:44argument that we get all the time, and that argument is based on saying
- 1:42:47that feminism is about equality. But then when you go back and you look,
- 1:42:51you find out that feminism is about accusing men of oppressing women, hating
- 1:42:56on men, calling men monsters, and then demanding that men and help women,
- 1:43:02like you're a woman hating monster, help us. But but yeah,
- 1:43:11so for for them to say to have admitted, you know, we don't
- 1:43:15claim or even desire much numerical strength, that kind of is typical, right
- 1:43:17of feminism. Nothing new there, nothing old there, it's it's it's just
- 1:43:24a timeless everywhere that suffragets carried on campaigns, other women organized to block their
- 1:43:33progress. This is we're talking about the suffragettes again. This is this is
- 1:43:39back in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, right, the patriarchy,
- 1:43:45the so called patriarchy was women. Everywhere that suffragettes carried on campaigns, other
- 1:43:50women organized to block their progress. This is not to correct you, but
- 1:43:57to correct you. This is talking about suffragists. Yeah, yeah, yes,
- 1:44:01well it's important, yeah, because the suffragettes were more in your face
- 1:44:08violent, and the suffragists passed out pamphlets and wrote articles and letters and contacted
- 1:44:16their politicians and asked politely. So there is a big difference there. Although
- 1:44:24the suffragettes in the United States were not so much violent as they were racist.
- 1:44:30The suffragetes in the UK were violent as fuck. They were terrorists,
- 1:44:33yeah, absolutely, and they actually there's evidence that women in the UK would
- 1:44:44have gotten the vote sooner if it had not been for the violence of the
- 1:44:50suffragettes. There were legislators that desperately wanted to give women voting rights because they
- 1:44:59felt that they would have the support of women and it would enhance their power,
- 1:45:03but they couldn't because the suffragette's violence made it very politically incorrect at the
- 1:45:14time. It demonstrated that women were not rational enough to deserve voting rights,
- 1:45:24and of course it gave a lot of credence to the women who were saying,
- 1:45:29we don't want this, and we don't agree. We're not with them,
- 1:45:34we want our own table. Things like that. Was they were distancing
- 1:45:41themselves, moving away everybody else, moving away from the suffragettes on the bench,
- 1:45:45you know, giving them the hairy eyeball and all that. And all
- 1:45:50of the zoomers and millennials are going, what's that a reference to? I
- 1:45:55have no idea. And everybody that has Alice's Alice's Restaurant memorized is going oh
- 1:46:02yeah, but but yeah, this has been it throughout history. Women organized
- 1:46:13to block their progress. Women didn't agree with them, women were not on
- 1:46:15board. Uh, if you're talking about from the blog, Derek, it
- 1:46:30depends on the wording and whether or not it involves describing an action a planned
- 1:46:42action, intended action, or suggesting that an action should happen, versus saying
- 1:46:48that, uh, you know this this thing is is predictable that at some
- 1:46:55point there this is this is likely, and you know we should maybe curb
- 1:47:00some things that are going on in order to prevent it. Like that's okay
- 1:47:04to talk about, but yes, if you're advocating for something that is illegal
- 1:47:12or bad, that will definitely result in us saying no, you can't say
- 1:47:16that, not on our platform. Anyway, you can get in trouble somewhere
- 1:47:23else, you don't have to take us with you. In eighteen sixty nine,
- 1:47:30Anthony and Stanton left the American Equal Rights Association to form the National Women
- 1:47:34Suffrage Association. Well wait a minute, and so feminism is not about equal
- 1:47:40rights, it's about women's suffrage. It's about women. They left the Equal
- 1:47:45Rights Association based in New York, feeling that the National Association was too radical
- 1:47:56in religion and divorce to represent most suffragists. Stone, William Lloyd Garrison and
- 1:48:00other organized. Others organized the American Women's Suffrage Association, so we had NWSA
- 1:48:08and AWSA ASSA based in Boston. Anti suffrage women responded by forming the Massachusetts
- 1:48:16Association Opposed to the further extension of suffrage to women. I don't even want
- 1:48:25to try to pronounce the They didn't put a in parentheses anything. There.
- 1:48:33The New York State Association Opposed to Women's Suffrage, and many other state organizations.
- 1:48:39The antis as they were called, testified before legislators, published articles and
- 1:48:45newsletters, this being a petition here, held public meetings and eventually debated these
- 1:48:54suffragists. So this petition, see if I can increase the size of this
- 1:48:59so I can act read it. It's not a very good copy, and
- 1:49:05it's got the whole petition language. Whereas, whereas this country is now engaged
- 1:49:12in the greatest war in history that would have been World War One, I
- 1:49:16think, yeah, world War one started by then. Uh. Whereas the
- 1:49:21advocates of the Federal Amendment, through urging it as a war measure. Gosh
- 1:49:31darn it, that print is freaking tiny and late. Yeah, okay,
- 1:49:45I can't make out the letters that word through their president, miss missus cat
- 1:49:55that its passage means a simultaneous campaign in states it good grief. I wonder
- 1:50:03if the no it doesn't fuck. I can't tell if this is the one
- 1:50:13they were afraid. They were they would get drafted. And I think that's
- 1:50:15what this is. This that our country, in this hour of peril,
- 1:50:27should be spared the harassing of its public men and the distracting of its people
- 1:50:32from work for the war. That was one thing they were mad. Oh
- 1:50:40dear, what comment did you take me in? Albert? This is this
- 1:50:51is tough. I okay, I see you tag you hadn't tagged me?
- 1:50:59You are taking all right? Albert Nada retro gave his five dollars. Canadian
- 1:51:01said, here's a five Please read the comment I tag you and I'll bet
- 1:51:04it was not letting you say it in the paid comment? Was it?
- 1:51:09At Badger live streams, Mary Lay tried to declare delete the British PM.
- 1:51:15Yes, they tried to murder the British PM with a hatchet, but got
- 1:51:18Irish Nationalist leader John Redmond instead. Because she threw like a girl. Oh
- 1:51:25God, I have something I have to do now. Uh do I know
- 1:51:30where it is? Fuck? I have a video that I now have to
- 1:51:40show you guys, and my desktop is so messy. All right, let's
- 1:51:54see here. While I'm doing that, i'll show you in a minute.
- 1:52:05It's not just throwing like a man or a woman. There is a specific
- 1:52:11way to throw an axe properly, and if you don't throw it right,
- 1:52:17because if you're throwing a baseball, for instance, you have there's kind of
- 1:52:24a Yeah, they probably didn't like the word hatchet. There's kind of a
- 1:52:30different way to throw a baseball because you're using your arm like almost like a
- 1:52:35tribuche. But if you're throwing an axe and you throw it like that,
- 1:52:43it fucks up the way that it cause it's balance is different. It has
- 1:52:47that handle and everything, and then the axe head is heavy and it's heavier
- 1:52:53than the handle, and if it's not a throwing axe, it'll mess it
- 1:52:57up too. So she just threw an axe that was a tool that would
- 1:53:00have fucked it up. And then on top of that, let's see if
- 1:53:06this is the right video. I think this is. This is the one
- 1:53:15filmed by my husband. I'm just gonna really quick take a look, and
- 1:53:20I'm going to put it in. It's on a different computer than I'm using,
- 1:53:25so I'm putting it into a discord chat and then downloading it from there.
- 1:53:33So this is just gonna take a second. And this is obviously in
- 1:53:41a controlled environment, so I don't think that that it would be as easy
- 1:53:45to do under that circumstance. So this is not me saying like, well,
- 1:53:50anybody can do this, because I don't think just anybody can can do
- 1:53:57this. But let me see if I can put this in the window and
- 1:54:03download. Maybe for some reason, it's really slow to load up. It's
- 1:54:23not even a big video, damn it. It's a couple of seconds there
- 1:54:30we go, okay, and the sound is coming through, but the video
- 1:54:38is not showing yay, good grief, thanks good, Yeah, that was
- 1:54:50awesome. That was That was my son's voice. Okay, so it's downloading
- 1:54:59it twice, but it's not actually playing the video really, stanardloading it a
- 1:55:08bunch of times. Cancel there, and that's not what I'm looking for.
- 1:55:14Oops, open that back up because that actually I wanted to Sorry, guys,
- 1:55:25this is gonna take just a minute. So I can illustrate. I'll
- 1:55:30do that and then I will finish the paragraph if I can, and then
- 1:55:38we'll end it. But just it's a it's it's a point that I'm adamant
- 1:55:46on just for the the plain and simple reason that I'm a bit of a
- 1:55:54nerd about knowing information. I guess if I can, that's not gonna work.
- 1:56:10It won't even let me increase the size. Let me try it.
- 1:56:13There we go. It's a it's a phone video, so it's not very
- 1:56:15big. But and this is this is me. This is from a few
- 1:56:24years ago at a company called Wild Axe. And you can go in there
- 1:56:29and throw axes. You can go in there and throw knives. So this
- 1:56:33was my third attempt, not my first attempt. So it's not like this
- 1:56:38was me being a natural or anything like that. But but this is if
- 1:56:43you want to actually hit a target, you have to and you can see
- 1:56:49I'm unsteady there, right, that was bad. But you cannot throw an
- 1:57:02axe like a baseball. You cannot. You have to. It has to
- 1:57:09be that straight, steady kind of throw. If you don't have exactly that
- 1:57:15form, you don't hit your target and it can actually bounce off of something
- 1:57:20and come back and hit you. So thank you seeing your sticks for for
- 1:57:25being a third attempt. I'm pretty proud of and I'm pretty pleased with it
- 1:57:28because I thought, I thought there's you know, I was gonna suck the
- 1:57:31whole time because I have crappy depth perception. But so it. Anybody that
- 1:57:38goes out into a public place and starts throwing acts at people is endangering everybody
- 1:57:44there, you know, unless it's something they're really practiced at. It was.
- 1:57:48It wasn't just a stupid move, and it wasn't just murderous. It
- 1:57:53was profoundly dangerous. And she threatened not just the PM, but everyone,
- 1:58:00And that's why she ended up accidentally killing a different person than she intended to,
- 1:58:05which you know, it's bad enough to intend to kill somebody, but
- 1:58:10to then end up killing an innocent bystander because you you uh, chose the
- 1:58:16hardest way to do that and and you turn and it turns out you sucked
- 1:58:23at it. Like that's that's just that much worse. That's just that much
- 1:58:29worse, you know. But yeah, so there you go. There's there's
- 1:58:39the bit about the acts throwing, and uh, let me see if I
- 1:58:44can get back that article that I accidentally closed because I want that up.
- 1:58:50This is our after show for today. Uh so, so you guys know
- 1:58:56sixty nine things Donald Trump has said about women is the article will be going
- 1:59:00over in our our uh patron only after show. So if you want to
- 1:59:05see us react and laugh about that, oh heck no, Packard, I
- 1:59:13would not. No, no, no, no no. You guys don't
- 1:59:16understand. I I got badly injured in that in that fight, and it
- 1:59:23was a fight in that I was trying to get away from her. I
- 1:59:26did not fight back. I did not use violence to retaliate against her for
- 1:59:31engaging in violence against me in that fight that Packard is referring to. He
- 1:59:35says that you're violent coworker, is lucky you did not have your axe handy.
- 1:59:40I know as a joke, but I will say this. I I
- 1:59:44didn't hit her back. I didn't do anything to cause any injury to her.
- 1:59:51At the time, I underestimated how much damage I was taking, So
- 1:59:56I didn't do anything. I didn't resort to violence to get away from her.
- 2:00:01I wasn't I should have been more afraid than I was. But you
- 2:00:05have to understand that I have faced a higher level of violence than what she
- 2:00:09was engaging in the past when I was younger and sturdier, And so what
- 2:00:15she did was bad and violent, and it hurt me and it was cruel,
- 2:00:23but it didn't scare me. It would have been scary if I was
- 2:00:27not used to violence, but it wasn't because I am, if that makes
- 2:00:33sense, even though I haven't faced violence in a long time. And that's
- 2:00:36the other thing. It took me by surprise because of the environment I was
- 2:00:39in. I wasn't really expecting violence. There was a moment where he could
- 2:00:43have injured her very badly to put a stop to it. She didn't.
- 2:00:47She left her knees completely undefended, completely, and I was on my back
- 2:00:54and it was a perfect position for a kick. And I couldn't bring myself
- 2:00:58to do that because again, I just that's a permanent thing, and I
- 2:01:04would have to remember doing that for the rest of my life. I would
- 2:01:06have to remember all of my life that I made it so that somebody would
- 2:01:11never walk right again. And I couldn't bring myself to do that. If
- 2:01:17I thought my life was threatened, then I could right. If I had
- 2:01:21understood the head injury that I had acquired at that moment, then I probably
- 2:01:29would have, but but I wasn't really aware of how bad things were.
- 2:01:36So yeah, this is you just cannot engage in that level of violence,
- 2:01:45and it's you know, it would it would have been funny ten years ago
- 2:01:48to say that, but with all of what's going on today, it just
- 2:01:56Nope. I'm very wary of that kind of talk anymore because people don't have
- 2:02:03the space right now for that humor. I want is to get back to
- 2:02:09a point where we can, but I'm not going to act like it's there
- 2:02:13today just because of what happened, you know, recently. So anyway,
- 2:02:28I actually lost the other page too, didn't. I all right, Wow,
- 2:02:41that's not actually that's not even in my history. The page that I
- 2:02:45just accidentally closed isn't even showing up in my history. I can't get it
- 2:02:53back. Well, that's weird. I'll have to solve this next week.
- 2:03:01I'm sorry, guys, I didn't mean to close that. And it's not
- 2:03:06like when you there's a keystroke for reopening tabs that you accidentally closed and it's
- 2:03:17it's not working. And I looked in my history and that page isn't coming
- 2:03:24back like it's just not there. That's weird. Let's see if I can
- 2:03:36now it's not I'll figure it out before next week. I must just really
- 2:03:47screwed something up here. I don't think that there's a I must early screwed
- 2:03:54up anyway. Sorry, guys. So, I guess that's going to be
- 2:03:59the end of the show because use my material is I'm gonna have to track
- 2:04:02down my material again. I'm sure I'll be able to just find I just
- 2:04:06don't want to waste time doing it at the end of the show. It's
- 2:04:09after nine. So but in the meantime, like I said, I've plugged
- 2:04:14the after show. Yeah, sixty nine. They had to do that on
- 2:04:16purpose. Albert rit Nataretro gave us two dollars Canadian said sixty nine. Huh,
- 2:04:21And I'm one hundred percent certain that somebody at that publication has a sense
- 2:04:27of humor. So, but if you want to be involved in our after
- 2:04:31shows, you want to be able to come in and comment and talk about
- 2:04:34the article and listen and stuff like that. Like I said at the beginning
- 2:04:42of the show, the platform is Feedbadger dot com and that is the most
- 2:04:47stable way to help us out. It's a good way to arrange your membership
- 2:04:51and join our discord. The free part of our discord is obviously you could
- 2:04:58be in it anyway, but the paid part of our discord definitely you can
- 2:05:05find a way too, uh to that on Feed the Badger as well.
- 2:05:11So so that's my recommendation. You want to get to participate in sort of
- 2:05:17fun making fun of people freaking out over things Donald Trump has said about women,
- 2:05:23Oh my god, the humanity. We will have our best fainting couch
- 2:05:28for this episode. And with that, I have read all of the super
- 2:05:33chats, all of the super chows, all of the Rumble either one't any
- 2:05:38rumble rants, and so thanks to my two co hosts for going through this.
- 2:05:45This material is infuriating, so it's kind of you almost need to have
- 2:05:48a kitten video viewing party afterward. So thanks for going through that with me.
- 2:05:57Thanks to the listeners for tolerating my history fetish and uh, good night
- 2:06:03all, and thanks everybody works in the background also to make HBr talk happen,
- 2:06:09And good night all.
