| I think one of the first most important things to do is understand that feminism is about empowering everyone. | |
| I'm going to hold you to that later on in this talk when you're really not talking about empowering everyone. | |
| The great irony of feminism, of course, is actually that it did free men from the burden of being the head of the household. | |
| And now you get loads of articles like this wondering why so many professional millennial women are unable to find dateable men. | |
| And to answer the hundreds of articles written by women asking why I can't find a man, there are obviously hundreds of articles written by women trying to explain why they can't find a man. | |
| And you know, maybe there is a small nugget of truth to each one of these articles. | |
| Like for example with this one, it's not that he's just not that into you, it's that there aren't enough of him, as in him being well-educated men with well-paying careers, better than the women who are looking to date. | |
| Because fundamentally, women don't seem to understand that men are not attracted to the same things women are attracted to. | |
| For example, here where the question is, who's a man more likely to go for? | |
| Is it a woman who's smart, independent, and together, or a woman who doesn't seem to have that much going on and seems to need a man and a relationship? | |
| The answer, of course, is B. Because, believe it or not, men are not robots and actually need to be needed. | |
| This was in fact the raison d'être of men. | |
| This was what men were for. | |
| To be needed by women. | |
| And now women have said, well, we don't need you. | |
| Okay, that's fine. | |
| And that's fine, but don't be surprised when men start living for themselves. | |
| And don't be surprised when living for themselves means being men of modest means. | |
| Men who aren't that bothered about being incredibly highly educated, they're not that bothered about making a whole lot of money because they don't have anyone to support but themselves. | |
| So they get their minimum wage job, minimal hours a week, they get their beer and their Xbox and they hang out with their buddies and they're happy. | |
| But they're not the kind of men that women want to date long term. | |
| These men are the true egalitarians who have gotten over their need to be needed. | |
| However, women's biological instincts still exist and the men required to fulfil those instincts are existing in fewer and fewer numbers and it's not their problem. | |
| This isn't great for women and it's not great for children, but this is the future that feminists chose. | |
| They decided that men shouldn't be necessary. |
