Ferris and Josh argue that intersectional feminism since the late 2000s has brainwashed Gen Z women, creating a 53% versus 32% ideology gap where 27% of young women view men negatively. They claim this subversion redirects natural maternal instincts toward abstract causes like Gaza, causing loneliness and rising sexual crimes linked to mass immigration and left-wing voting. Ultimately, the hosts conclude that rejecting modern feminist narratives in favor of traditional roles where men protect and women nurture is essential to restoring safety and social order.

How Bernays Manipulated Women00:02:52
Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen.
Welcome to the podcast The Lotus Eaters for Thursday, the 16th of April, 2026.
I'm joined by Ferris and Josh.
And today we're going to be talking entirely about how feminism has destroyed Gen Z women.
And we have the numbers to prove it.
Everything is in.
And even the new statesmen are like, yeah, it was kind of our fault.
So this is pretty brutal, actually.
Like when we go through this, it's actually tragic what's being done to these young women.
So I want to be clear that I'm coming at this from a sympathetic perspective about.
How these people have been manipulated by forces that not just beyond their control but beyond their comprehension, long before they were born, these machinations have been put into play, and they are just the end product of it.
Where basically their entire lives are being screwed up, their ability to form relationships with men are being completely demented, and their expectations out of life are so misaligned with what their biology is going to tell them.
Like the elder millennial women now, these young ladies are going to find themselves so out of step with what it is that they want and what it is they can achieve.
That I mean, it's going to be really, really hard for them.
It's going to be really, really difficult.
And I say this as a father of two girls.
I've got two sons, two girls.
You've got girls, right?
And so this is something we're genuinely concerned about the feminist manipulation of young women for the purposes of the twisted people behind the ideology rather than for what's actually good for the young women.
So let's begin with the manipulation.
So you'll remember Edward Bernays, American propagandist, propagandist, nephew of Sigmund Freud, responsible for the advertising industry.
He basically invented PR.
Yeah.
Well, this is from what was the name of the chap who did this?
Adam Curtis.
An Adam Curtis documentary where he tells us about Edward Bernays and the tortures of freedom, how they persuaded young women in America to smoke.
The first psychoanalysts in America.
And for a large fee, he told Bernays that cigarettes were a symbol of the penis and of male sexual power.
He told Bernays that if he could find a way to connect cigarettes with the idea of challenging male power, then women would smoke.
Because then they would have their own penises.
Every year, New York held an Easter Day parade to which thousands came, and Bernays decided to stage an event there.
He persuaded a group of rich debutantes to hide cigarettes under their clothes.
Then they should join the parade, and at a given signal from him, they were to light up the cigarettes dramatically.
Bernays then informed the press that he had heard that a group of suffragettes were preparing to protest by lighting up what they called torches of freedom.
The Ideology Gap Explained00:15:11
So, you can see this is incredibly left wing feminist coded from the start, right?
The whole point is undermining and overthrowing the patriarchy.
And you could see the extent of subtle manipulation, the fact that they would do this on an Easter day parade, one of the most, obviously, the most important day in Christianity, being celebrated.
And you could see that the most vulnerable were the richer women who sort of could be separated from tradition because.
They had enough luxury in their lives not to appreciate how tradition protects them.
They're insulated from the consequences of abandoning the proper rules of life.
Exactly.
I think it's also good PR because ultimately he's trying to sell a product and therefore by using high status women, it's then creating an association with being high status in the first place.
Yes.
So just to summarize the last, say, decade of my work on my Sargon of a Cad channel, I spent a long time reading.
Inquiring and investigating feminism.
And so I'm not going to summarize all that now.
If you're watching, I'm going to assume you're aware that I'm something of an expert on feminism at this point, and that feminist ideology was developed in academia.
And it was intersectional feminist ideology that in the beginning, in the late 2000s and early 2010s, really took over the feminist movement as a whole.
And this was just pumped ad nauseum through the university system in all sorts of various.
And in some universities, mandatory classes that students have had to take.
The effect is what KGB defector Yuri Bezmanov calls just ideological brainwashing.
He gives us the process of how this is done.
Ideological subversion is the slow process which we call either ideological subversion or active measures or psychological warfare.
What it basically means is to change the perception of reality of every American.
To such an extent that despite the abundance of information, no one is able to come to sensible conclusions in the interest of defending themselves, their families, their community, and their country.
It's a great brainwashing process which goes very slow.
It takes from 15 to 20 years to demoralize a nation.
This is the minimum number of years which requires to educate one generation of students exposed to the ideology of the enemy.
In other words, Marxism Leninism ideology is being pumped into the soft heads of.
Of at least three generations of American students, without being challenged or counterbalanced by the basic values of Americanism.
The demoralization process in the United States is basically completed already.
And the same thing has been done to women now in the United Kingdom.
There was a particular phrase here which I think is worth properly highlighting unable to come to sensible conclusions, right?
There is an abundance of data, but no one is able to come to sensible conclusions.
As in, what are the perceptions of the people contraposed against the actual reality of the thing?
Because we're going to go through what women believe, young women specifically believe, and how this is.
Just not borne out by the actual reality of the facts.
There's a psychological dimension to this whereby, rather than talking about the way the world actually is, you talk about the way it should be.
And because of the way the human mind works, by talking in abstractions, it sort of creates psychological distance from your experience of reality and it becomes more manipulable.
I actually talked about this in some of my research in my master's dissertation.
You know, I think it's actually worse than that because it's now not even about moral and sort of normative.
Declarations of how things ought to be.
It's about apparently young women just feeling that it is this way, even in the face of all of the evidence to the contrary.
So it's like that, that would be a prerequisite, perhaps.
Yeah.
Yeah.
We're further down that road.
And like I said, the numbers are in on all of this, right?
Here's a quite famous article from the Financial Times in 2024 where we have the ideology gap between men and women.
And this is just across the world.
As you can see in South Korea, it's most pronounced because feminism has really taken root in South Korea and their entire society is being rent in two by it.
But it's happening everywhere else as well.
You can see in America, the women are becoming insanely liberal and men are turning towards being conservative.
And this was, like I said, two years ago now.
Same thing in Germany.
I mean, the same thing technically is happening in Britain, but for some reason, young British men are insanely wet libs.
But look how much more radical than the US women, the women over here are.
Like young British women have been completely radicalized.
They've had this ideology in their universities pumped into their soft heads without any kind of like right wing traditionalist morality being presented in juxtaposition to counterbalance.
Here is what I think.
Okay.
But that's crazy because here's what this other perspective is.
And he was, okay.
Yeah.
No, there is something to consider there.
Well, that's been removed, which is why I think young men are also so left wing, even though it's completely against their own personal interests.
It's also worth pointing out here that a massive spike in anything suggests a very deliberate.
Manipulation of something.
And you can see here in 2010, it absolutely skyrockets up.
Yes.
Universally as well.
It's always 2010, because that's when intersectionality had conquered what they call white feminism and had become the prevailing creed that was then accepted uncritically in universities, in businesses, by governments, this and in popular culture as well.
And we're still living with the ruins of that now.
All the race and gender swapping, that's all intersectionality.
And so these women have just been brainwashed into this nonstop.
And it's really bad for them.
And we're going to cover how we've discovered it's really bad for them.
And just again, the numbers are in on this, right?
So we've got here just incredible, incredible numbers.
Where are they?
There we go, right?
Who defines themselves as feminists in Gen Z?
53% of women say they define themselves as feminists compared to 32% of men.
Just a brief point here Angela Merkel, the most successful woman in Europe, politically speaking.
Refused to define herself as a feminist.
So did Margaret Thatcher.
So did Margaret Thatcher.
Quote, I owe nothing to women's lib.
So the idea that women today are far more radical than that is genuinely frightening.
It's crazy, isn't it?
It means a complete dissociation from reality.
Yes.
Most Gen Z women are intersectional feminists, which makes it considerably worse.
It is the most extreme kind of feminism.
It's like ISIS for gender relations.
The funny thing is, as well, I've come across many women who identify as feminists and they just don't know about the intersectional part of it.
And they say, oh, no, I just support women's right to vote and to have a job.
And it's like, you do realize by describing yourself as a feminist what you're actually supporting, right?
You're unintentionally opening the door to the crazies.
Yes.
And you might not think you're in favor of trans women in women's bathrooms, but this all is permitted by this ideology.
And this is crazy because Gen Z men actually haven't changed that much, right?
So, Gen Z men are 32% more like to call themselves feminists, 28% of baby boomers, and 29% of Gen X will self identify as feminists.
So, actually, the men have not been that affected by the ideology, but it's really done a number on the women.
I mean, just to say, it is terrible that 28% of baby boomers are atrocious.
I would describe themselves as feminists.
It's genuinely bad.
And it is a betrayal of their role as fathers and men.
Yes.
But at least it's the minority by quite a significant margin.
And again, with Gen Z men, at least they are in a minority there.
But it's terrible that the women have just been like, no, okay, this is what reality is.
It's being an insane man hater.
And so this atmosphere.
Among young people, has created a situation where one in four teenagers are just not able to really voice their own political opinions for fear of being cancelled.
This 44% also say they aren't ready to vote in the next election because they feel politically confused.
They are people who really don't have much of a grasp on the world because of the hegemony of this ideology.
The ideology itself is very militant, it is crusading, it doesn't break.
Any kind of disagreement to it, it is always stigmatized as racist, sexist, xenophobic, homophobic, transphobic, whatever it is.
And those stigmatizing labels are used to condemn the other person.
They're not used as a description, they're used as moral condemnation.
And therefore, that leads to cancellation.
And that's what young people now are worried about outside of this.
Just to sort of clarify something here women's role as a sort of social police has been completely subverted by this.
Yes.
Because your grandmother would always tell you, don't associate with these people, don't associate with those people, stay away from people who do this, stay away from people who do that.
This was always the role of women to try to maintain social order.
And it's been subverted to get them to police social disorder and maintain it.
Yes.
Yes.
And to, I mean, honestly, just to advance communist ideology, which is what ultimately this is for.
Well, it's all a very deliberate strategy, isn't it?
Like the ideal situation is that men and women, you know, work together and we basically mitigate the shortcomings of each and you're better off for it, both of you.
That's the ideal scenario.
And I think that people who are in healthy relationships have that approach to things and people are happier, both men and women, in that scenario.
But through this, it's creating dividing lines in society where you can sort of divide and rule.
The idea that men and women complement one another and strengthen each other by complementing one another rather than being in competition, which is the predicate of feminism, that in fact it's a competitive relationship rather than a cooperative one.
Camille Paley always brilliantly summarized it as feminism treats women as defective men in competition with men.
Yes, very true.
I've actually spoken to lots of feminists, and when I explain this, you see the cogs turning.
It's like, Oh, right.
So it's not that you.
It doesn't have to be this way.
Yeah.
It's not that you hate me.
It's not that you disagree because you don't think I'm, you know, equal.
It's just.
I'm misogynist.
Yeah.
It's more that I think that people have different roles.
These stretch back millions of years, you know, sex differences and, you know, the division of labor is an ancient thing ingrained into human nature.
It's not going anywhere.
It's not that I hate you.
It's that I love you and I need you.
But also your point about this being divide and rule, that's correct.
And we will see throughout the course of this how the managerial state, Is using this to essentially recruit a radicalized cohort of kind of like the Mao students, actually, to destroy gender relations in this country.
And this is terrible.
So, this is all borne out by the New Statesman piece, flagship piece called Angry Young Women by Emily Lawford and I don't know who that is actually, Scarlett McGuire.
It's a really excellent piece, right?
But what it does is tell us everything we already knew.
It's essentially a confession by the New Statesman that they were wrong and they did all of this to young women because they were a willing participant in the problem.
And you can go back to 2015 where you've got Laurie Penny, we need feminism.
We just need feminism.
We need more feminism.
Here's their best of New Statesmen in 2015 feminism and gender.
And it's all intersectional feminism.
And they're patrolling people like Emma Watson because Emma Watson was a bit of a white feminist back in the day.
She wasn't an intersectional feminist.
And so it's great that she's standing up for feminism, but she's taking the wrong approach.
Approach because we're ignoring the unpalatable truths of patriarchy.
They did everything they could to tear down the normal relations between men and women, and now they've realized oh, wait, we've done serious damage to these young women.
This is serious damage to them, and they can't believe the damage that they've done.
So we'll go through it because this is genuinely, genuinely mad.
I'm just going to read parts of it for you because it's crazy.
The prevailing narrative that young men under the influence of the manosphere and being enchanted by men's rights.
Activists and misogynists such as Andrew Tate are being politically radicalized faster and in greater numbers than young women.
It's a compelling story, but it isn't completely accurate.
Completely accurate.
Here's the data, right?
Men under 30, how do they feel about women?
They've got a positive view of women, 72% of them.
21% of them are neutral, and only 7% of them have a negative view of women, right?
That's how successful Andrew Tate has been.
That's how successful Andrew Tate has been.
But compared to that, women under 25, 35% of them have a positive view of men, 37% have a neutral view, and 27% have a negative view.
You know what I think is the root cause of this?
It's if men say they don't like women, they get Heavily policed for it.
Whereas if women get rewarded.
Exactly.
Absolutely.
And it's because the ideological priors all serve to give incentives in each direction.
But so this, but you can see how the new states must not, well, it isn't completely accurate.
No, it's completely inaccurate.
It's not completely inaccurate.
You're trying to soften the blow.
You lied to women and you have done this to them.
You are complicit.
Everyone who supported feminism is complicit in making young women hate men.
You did this, and so you can't just say, Oh, well, it's not completely accurate.
You are the problem, right?
Anyway, so they, as we've gone through the numbers, right?
So, what does this tell us, right?
It tells us that young women have been taught by feminism to hate men, or at least at the very best be indifferent to men.
Men are just not important people in society, right?
There's absolutely no scrutiny or social restraint on feminism and applied to women, it was all focused on young men, and here we are.
Having young women's views of the opposite sex being completely demented artificially.
This has been done artificially to them, not because of the environment in which they live.
And feminism was just advanced as if it was just this unvarnished good, as if it was just a normal, moral way to do things instead of actually being destructive, poisonous, and hateful in and of itself.
Why Gen Z Feels Unhappy00:16:04
And now, young women, 53% of them, are feminists.
There's also a deeper foundation to this that made this.
Possible in the first place, and that is that the state has stepped in where the family unit used to be, right?
There's welfare, there's child support, and lots of other things.
Whereas women beforehand would be reliant on a man to bring in an income, and therefore, you know, even if they weren't as happy, they still appreciated what they did to a certain extent.
And by the government basically becoming their surrogate provider, they don't actually feel like they need men anymore.
But of course, the biological reality is very different.
Yeah, they've shifted their expectations from men to the state.
That is true, but it's actually worse than that because a lot of it is they have been privileged to the point where they just don't need men anymore.
And so there's no concern about what the men want because they have been liberated from the need from that, which is what feminism promised in the very beginning the liberation of men from needing women from needing men.
Anyway, they say the men of this generation overwhelmingly think they are understood by women and can trust the members of the opposite gender, whereas women report much lower scores on both questions, as in, You can't actually.
53% of them have been brainwashed by feminism to distrust you, to think you are a monster.
The gap is much more pronounced when it comes to safety and consent.
More than four in ten of the women surveyed said men did not have the same understanding of consent in sexual relationships that they did.
That's mad, isn't it?
What they're saying is 40% of women think men are rapists.
40%.
That is insane.
And just, it goes on.
Young women were twice as likely as young men say that they would not have children.
Right, 15% of young women are saying, No, I will not have children, right, compared to 8% of men.
And while with among white women under 30, that increases to 20%.
I think part of that is also when they feel like they've met someone they actually like, they will change their mind.
I've seen it in my generation.
Sure.
I don't disagree, but ideologically, women shouldn't be coming out of university with one in five white women being like, Yeah, I'm never having kids.
Well, ideally, no one would be saying this whatsoever.
Exactly.
I actually am reading a book about the 1960s called White Heat.
And in the 1960s, it's always considered that, oh, the narrative is that it's the swinging 60s, summer of love.
It's very promiscuous, it's very sexually open.
People were finally liberated from tradition?
Not at all.
The numbers are that by 23, the average age of marriage went down from 25 to 23.
It was 25 in the 40s and 50s, went down to 23 in the 60s, and 97% of people got married.
This is a highly conservative generation compared to what we have now.
I just don't think people would have realized how bad things were going to get.
Or the mythology.
This is a generation that's hypocritical about conservatism.
Yes.
Because it is saying there's nothing wrong with it.
There's anything wrong with it, that whole line about promiscuity and degeneracy.
That was the problem of the 60s, I'd argue.
No, no, it actually was.
And it was especially an elite problem.
Well, this is the problem where tolerance was pushed.
Actually, intolerance is more moral.
Yeah, for the average person, they were basically as conservative.
Even young people were as conservative as their own grandparents, having very dim views on promiscuity, sex outside of marriage, prostitution, homosexuality, and things like that.
It was all a very narrow band of elite people who had, like you said, insulation from the problems.
But the general public just did not really buy any of it as far as they were concerned.
And this is a great line from it Sexual liberation is something that happened in the newspapers, right?
Well, it's basically a mythologicalization of it.
That's it, yeah.
Well, and a great example of this is that at the height of birth control in the 1960s, only 150,000 women were on it, out of millions, out of 20 million or so.
Only 150,000 women actually regularly on birth control.
And it's like, okay, that's crazy, right?
But the elite mythologization of this thing has created a new paradigm for, unfortunately, their grandchildren to live in.
And again, they were all married.
They were all actually living conservative lives.
Anyway, so how do I know that it's feminism that did this, right?
How do I know?
Well, it's because of the rampant politicization of young women, right?
Listen to this.
This is wild.
One in four young women say their partner having different political views to them would be a red flag in the relationship on particular issues.
Women's stance is more hardline.
Six in ten say they would find it difficult to date someone who disagreed with them on the Palestine Israel conflict or who did not share their views on Donald Trump.
74% say they'd find it difficult to be in a relationship with someone who did not share their views about social justice.
Young women are also more likely than young men to say that they would not have a relationship with someone who disagreed with them over immigration.
These are not anything to do with the actual nature of your personal relationship with the person you love, right?
None of this affects your actual life.
This is all abstract, online, ideological politicization that is making it so that three quarters of women are like, well, I can't have a relationship.
I think a decent portion of this is the difference between stated and revealed preference.
If someone came along that they actually liked interpersonally, I think they would be more than happy to overlook it.
My own experiences validate it.
But at the same time, there are crazy ideologues that will never be happy because of it.
The thing is that the social expectation that it creates among women is itself a problem.
Yes.
Because men try and fill that mold.
Men will be what women want them to be.
Yes.
Exactly.
And women won't be happy with it.
You will end up, therefore, with much weaker men.
But then you'll also end up with women accusing each other of having betrayed the cause, eroding their own social relations, which they absolutely do need when they're mothers.
Mothers desperately need a strong social milieu in which to function because that's kind of how they help each other.
I have a bit of a controversial.
Sorry, Carl.
Well, I was going to say, and on top of this, right, notice how these are all things outside of your control.
Yes.
So your life is dictated by the whims of international politics, which have no direct effect on what you're doing, but will change what you're happy with.
So, okay, say your husband agrees with all of this, but then tomorrow a new politicized Issue comes up, and you and your husband are like, Oh no, we're on different sides of this.
That becomes a crack in your relationship that can grow wider and wider.
This is entirely political.
This is not about personality.
This actually doesn't tell you whether your husband is a good person or a bad person.
What this tells you is you've been radicalized online by internet feminist ideology and are in the left wing news cycle and are obsessed by it.
Like, what the hell do you care about Israel and Palestine for if you're living in London or if you're living in, you know, wherever in England?
It's not your business.
What your business is, how your neighbors are, you know, whether that person needs help or something like that.
But you've outsourced these moral feelings of, I want to care about the people around me to people in other countries based on the American elections that you have no influence over.
They've changed the nice church ladies who keep the community going into militant ideologues.
Correct.
So it's the same impulse at the end of the day.
We have to help family so and so, we have to take care of such and such, we have, you know.
There is this issue that's affecting the park or the playground or the church, and we need to do something about it.
And women naturally can, because, you know, if your wife nags you to donate to this or that.
They're social people, you know.
Exactly.
You will do it.
And instead of society building being their function, actually it's turned to society destruction.
Yes.
I have a little bit of a controversial view on this, which you both might disagree on.
Maybe it's seeing a silver lining in a bad situation, but I sort of see it as good there being these sort of.
Hurdles that trip women up to a certain extent because it reveals aspects of them.
Like if they're such an ideologue that they wouldn't date you, well, it's sort of good to know that because you know that they're not supposed to.
What if they don't actually mean it?
Or what if they regret it when they're 40?
That's the consequence here.
It's their life's worth.
Well, but it's communal security that's at stake here.
This was all done to them without them being aware of what was being done.
They didn't consent to being radicalised.
But people are still accountable for what they believe.
And I think that actually, I have a view that is much harder on the individual women for believing in this nonsense.
I don't think we should let them get off scot free for being radicalised.
Well, they're not going to.
They're not going to.
No, they're going to.
Huge numbers of these women.
They are going to pay for it, but so will the rest of society.
Yes.
And this is why society needs guardrails because people are prone to this kind of madness.
The job of people in government is to provide safeguards so that society doesn't lose its soul.
Well, every person who taught this nonsense has to be punished.
Say again?
Every person who taught this nonsense has to be punished.
Yes.
And I'm disagreeing with you.
Yeah, I knew you would disagree with that.
What they did to these young women who didn't know what was happening to them was malevolent.
Yes.
It was malevolent and it's going to ruin their lives.
Anyway, we'll carry on just for the sake of.
Can I just add ever so quickly?
Very quickly.
I was sort of looking at it from the view of a young man in that it's easier to see the people who aren't susceptible to being brainwashed.
So I was thinking at it, looking at it sort of from that perspective of, okay, well, if someone can resist all of this social pressure, they're probably a good and moral person, and therefore it makes it easier in a way.
If the two of us are good and moral people, that you really have to have empathy with the sinner.
I think they're out there.
It's just that they're not shouting on the internet.
And also, it's not.
Fair to throw average or mediocre people into this trial by fire, right?
We should be stewarding them knowing that they aren't like, you know, 130 IQ Anglos and knowing actually most people are just average.
I agree.
We should try and prevent people from making bad decisions.
Yeah.
Anyway, let's carry on because again, this is just wild, right?
So men of this generation are substantively more positive about capitalism, which is a net plus 28%, which I'm surprised at, frankly, than women, which is only plus 2%.
So about 48% of women.
Not for capitalism, they're for communism, right?
This is in part a consequence of how young men believe the economy works well for people like me 48% to 37% in favor, while women think it works against them 43% think it works against them to 34%.
The other way.
And this is, of course, despite women out earning young men, right?
They say we often hear about a lost generation of young men.
However, the research reveals that young women are more pessimistic across the board.
They are less likely to say they feel happy, ambitious, excited, fulfilled.
They are more pessimistic about the prospects of being happy for their life generally.
Among 16 to 24 year olds, there are more women in full time work than their male counterparts.
The average woman in that group is earning 9% more than the average man.
And the rate of unemployment for young men is 6.3% higher than that for young women.
So, everything in their lives is geared to making them succeed in the capitalist system.
And they're like, oh, God, I hate capitalism.
It's not working for me.
It's mad.
You might remember this back in 2019, where this decline in marriage rates was blamed for a lack of economically attractive men because women have been artificially promoted over men because they're women for years.
And it's got to the point where, as they say, women are making £2,200 more a year than a man in the same age bracket, which is the 9% increase.
And they're also.
Twice as likely to buy their own bloody homes as young people.
15% of solo female buyers were in their 20s compared to 8% of men in the same group.
And they're sat there like, oh no, I don't feel this is working for me.
And it's like, well, this is where the ideological subversion comes in, right?
This is where Yuri Besmanov was right.
You can't come to sensible conclusions about the reality of what's happening around you because of the blinkers in front of your eyes.
You have this magical spell cast on you thinking all men are bad, capitalism's against me, while you're the only people buying bloody homes in your 20s.
Like, this is, you're wrong on everything.
But anyway, so let's go back to the article, right?
Because again, there's more stuff.
But the thing to take away from this is you have been liberated, right?
This is what liberation is.
And you tell us that you are not happy, right?
This is the response from young women getting everything that feminism promised them it's made you miserable.
That's the answer.
It's the bottom line.
You actually did not want this.
And so the people who persuaded you that you did want this lied to you.
They lied to you, and you're the ones admitting this.
Anyway, going back, right, there's this.
I love this.
The pessimistic sex.
How optimistic do you feel about whether you will achieve the following?
And look at this get a job you'll love, earn more than your parents, buy the house that you want.
Well, women are generally quite optimistic about this 69%, 58%, 60%, but men are more optimistic.
And it's like When was this taken?
Because I don't know anyone that's optimistic about any of this.
But isn't that interesting?
How optimistic are you that you'll fulfill the life goal of being a single office drone and never actually getting married and having kids?
Like, yeah, tag me in, coach.
I think I can become that totally lonely Spencer who literally just has nothing but her email job in the office.
Like, great.
What good is that?
What good is that to you?
I mean, the problem is also within the questions here.
Like, what are the odds you're going to have a happy family life?
Would be a pretty important question, I think, for people's quality of life.
In fact, and for young women, that's going to be really low.
Yeah.
In fact, that's probably the most important thing you could ask people about their life satisfaction.
You don't need the rest if you've got that.
Exactly.
The rest of it all absolutely comes secondarily, I promise.
So, anyway, moving on just for the sake of time, right?
They point out they go on to COVID, but they come to no substantive conclusions on this.
But this isn't very interesting.
The substantial class divide among Gen Z women, because this is where we start to narrow it down to who is this problem cohort, right?
So, those in C2DE professions, which are skilled or unskilled manual workers, as well as the unemployed or those dependent on the state, they are more likely to say they feel happy, ambitions, fulfilled, than their ABC one, who are the professional and managerial class, right?
Uh, who, and the, the skilled and unskilled workers are more likely to believe that if they work hard, they will succeed in life.
But the ABC one young women, the managerial professionals, do not think the economy works well for them, 21% compared to 39% of the other, and feel substantially less valued by society.
As in, nobody wants the professional managerial class meddling with their lives, and yet that's all you've been trained to do.
Yes.
That's you, On your own in an office, looking at spreadsheets, looking at timetables, looking at nonsense that nobody appreciates.
Who did this to you?
Someone did this to you.
You need to think about that.
You need to think, why do I feel so unappreciated?
Why am I here?
What am I doing here?
Like, you would be happier if you were lambing like baby lambs in the spring, right?
You would genuinely be happier with that, right?
I promise you.
Like, this is genuinely the women in the liberal managerial technocracy are just miserable.
You'd be much more happy if you were growing tomatoes.
Genuinely, right?
So would I, to be honest.
But a lot of people would, right?
Subverting Motherhood Instincts00:16:14
So, anyway, Gen Z women who spend a lot of time online also show heightened concerns about the climate and change and environment.
Yes, you've been radicalized into the same.
It's the unique cause that you've been radicalized in, right?
They're more likely to say that climate change is the biggest threat to the world and more likely to have favorable views of Thunberg, Zach Polanski, and environmentalism.
They also lean more to the less on questions of economics, which we've covered.
So, they've been radicalized online.
They don't produce anything, they just redistribute professionally, and their politics are.
Reflects that.
That's all you do.
You are not making anything.
You're not actually helping anyone.
But what's really, really interesting about this is it's, I mean, it's the white women who generally, you know, most of them don't really feel like they belong in society, but it's the white women that have this problem, right?
Women from a black, Asian, and minority ethnic background who are Gen Z are significantly more likely to say they feel valued by society than white women.
They also think the country is not racist, whereas white women think it is racist.
And this reveals to us that you're actually not top of the hierarchy and in sectionality.
You can see who the country is set up for.
It's young women of color who are benefiting over you, and they feel like they're getting more out of it than you are.
And you're sat there seething alone in your boring managerial office jobs.
This has been done to you.
You need to have a rethink of everything, literally everything.
But we'll take a break there because, like, this is really annoying me on a genuinely personal level because this has been something I've been talking about for a long time.
So it's like, I can see what has happened.
You know, this has been done purposefully by intellectual malcontents and it's ruining your lives.
It's ruining the country.
It's ruining everything.
But anyway, let's move on.
Let's move on.
Okay.
So Carl did a great job summarizing the first part of my segment, which is.
Who are these women, essentially, who are feeling this, who feel this radicalization?
And they are financially well off, for the most part.
They are in middle class jobs, in office jobs.
They don't find meaning in them because these jobs are actually meaningless.
And men and women agree that they're meaningless, but men's temperament is I'm providing for my family, so I will put up with it being meaningless.
Whereas for the women, what they're left with largely.
Is a mothering vacuum.
I'm providing for myself.
Not just that it's selfish, it's also hiding the reality that they are wired to be selfless because motherhood is inherently a very long process of very tedious, very tiring, sometimes drudgery like suffering that is only made possible by the fact that mothers love their children so much.
The fathers are the disciplinarians.
It's not that we don't love our children, but that we see beyond that love to be able to impose discipline.
Well, that is love from the father, putting the boundaries together.
Yeah, but love is from the father.
Exactly.
Yeah, if you don't love your children, you won't take a hand in raising them properly, would you?
Exactly.
Whereas it is for the mother to provide the additional tenderness, to provide the additional emotion that creates this balance in the family relationship and in the relationship between children and parents.
They know that they can lean on a different parent for different needs.
Fathers for advice, for discipline, for work, for life matters in general.
Mothers for love, for tenderness, for affection.
But also for just sympathy and understanding as well, because when you tell a man your problems, the man hears, I need to fix it.
When you tell a woman your problems, the woman hears, you just want to be heard.
And this is confirmed in this article about the angry young woman.
So, firstly, what are these women doing?
They're going around marches for Palestine.
So, the journalist that wrote this piece says that she went to a national march for Palestine as it progressed from Russell Square to Whitehall.
There were more than 100,000 marchers, she says, which she categorized into three groups Muslim men, pensioners selling copies of socialist magazines, and what looked like lots of bright haired girls, though several told me politely that they were non binary.
I remember reading that in this article and just laughing at the accuracy of it, to be honest.
It is also tragic that this is the state of the world at the minute.
You can see intrinsically in just the very first sort of lines here the Epstein class want you to hate every other group, she tells her 80,000 TikTok followers.
Migrants, brown people, poor people, disabled people, trans people.
Look, I don't care what the Epstein class want.
What I care about here is that this is you externalizing your mothering impulses.
Which is exactly what it is.
These other groups, right?
You are a person of deep compassion that is evident.
But you should be deeply compassionate to the people you personally know.
Exactly.
And actually, you're not.
You're externalizing all this onto the internet.
So it means nothing.
It just gets dissolved into a sea of nothing.
You get nothing back from it.
Because when you're compassionate, you love your kids, man, they give you a lot back.
Exactly.
Like they are there.
They're never going to give you anything back from being pro trans and pro Palestine at the same time.
This is never going to reward you.
This is never going to provide you emotionally with anything.
Yeah.
One of the tragedies of people like this is that they externalize all of their compassion and empathy to people who they'll never meet.
But then in their actual personal lives, they're quite cold and uncaring.
And it's almost like they've spent it and it's not allocated in the places where it's allocated.
Because you genuinely only have so much energy.
Well, she literally says here, she's teetering on the edge of an anxiety attack.
Why?
Because you're never getting any positive reinforcement back from the people you're pouring your love into.
Whereas with children, no matter how much of a hassle they give you, you still get the reward of a cuddle before bedtime.
You still get the reward of the love and affection that they show you.
Look, mummy, look what I did.
Exactly.
You still get that care from them for you that makes it all worthwhile because it is naturally a two way relationship.
Whereas your relationship with Palestine is never going to be two way.
Palestinians don't care about you.
Exactly.
Not that they're bad people, but they care about their own people and they get the biggest moral affirmation.
Exactly.
And they get their moral affirmation and their emotional affirmation, more importantly, from their own people and their own families.
And so, you know, it goes on to describe this.
Going to Leeds to meet with an organizer of the university's Palestine Solidarity Group.
The group is mostly women.
They organize Gaza fundraisers like bazaars and drag shows.
Drag shows for Gaza has to be a sign of very profound mental illness.
But I want to move beyond that because I don't want to mock you.
I want to try to explain some things.
A lot of these women, when interviewed, said that what had actually radicalized them was the war in Gaza, that the war in Gaza had made them much more radical.
And this is perfectly natural because when you see the extent of human suffering and when you see the pain that that society has gone through, regardless of what you feel about who's right and who's wrong in the conflict, but you did see civilians getting blown to smithereens, you did see children dying, you did see women dying, civilians, et cetera.
So this has triggered an emotional response in you.
Which is healthy.
It's a good thing to care for the suffering of others.
It's also good for society as well, because having people in society that acknowledge the human cost of war is very important to making a rational decision as a civilization.
Absolutely.
Absolutely.
But you're not actually projecting that onto anyone you know.
That's the problem.
This is about a parochial, possessive feeling to the people you love.
It's a naturally one sided thing because it is so distant from you.
Whereas helping the people that are Closest to you, your family and your loved ones is naturally fulfilling.
But the impulse she's feeling always goes unfulfilled.
By its definition.
Exactly.
The people you're projecting onto can't fulfill it back to you.
They don't know who you are.
They don't care about you at all.
So you're there putting out what is essentially this kind of a desire for a hug to get hugged back from your children, your husband, your friends, whoever.
And these can never hug you back.
So no wonder.
I mean, here she's like, O'Brien told me she considers herself a revolutionary rather than an activist.
It's like, Okay, because you have ratcheted this up over and over.
I'm still not getting any love.
I'm still getting, right?
The whole thing needs to change.
So I get some love, is what this comes down to.
And I think also the people that are most susceptible to thinking this way are people who haven't had that much love from their family, from their friends, and have struggled to have genuine connections with other people.
She literally says it.
She said she felt anxious seeing injustice and doing nothing.
It was a physical sensation in the center of her body.
This is assuaged by physical contact with someone you love.
Yes.
Your husband or your children, right?
That's what that is.
And that's what we are for.
In the great scheme of things, and you're not getting that.
And so this is completely building up in you.
So now you're like, oh, I'm just a revolutionary now.
It's like, no, you're lonely.
That's what this is.
You are lonely.
Not just that, what is missing here is the realization that she is the revolution.
What she is doing is fundamentally revolutionary because the role of women is familial and societal and relational.
And their fulfillment depends on having very healthy relationships with their men, with their children, with their neighbors, with the church, with society in general.
With whatever it is.
Whatever it is that is in society that allows society to function, that is very largely the role of women.
And it's important to remember that these are physical things, these are physical, they involve touch.
They are material things.
And she tells us this.
Look at this line.
This is amazing, right?
Women tend to be a little more connected to their bodies and physical sensations and emotions, right?
Notice how the New Statesman, like, well, that seems like an essentialist, even reactionary view of gender.
Yes.
Yes.
Men and women are different.
Women actually need the cuddles from the people that they are pouring their emotions into.
Exactly.
They need it.
And she's telling you that she needs it.
Exactly.
She's right.
And she's right.
Like, all of this, like, oh, no, we're idealistic and ideological and.
The, the human body is just this blank canvas upon which we pour ideas and any kind of biological essentialism is wrong.
Not according to the people you've radicalized.
They feel it in themselves that they need something physical.
Exactly.
The only way I've found to release the negative sensation is to act.
That would normally be helping people around her.
Old Mrs. Smith who needs someone to help take out the bins or something like that.
That's what that, like, normal purgatory of that emotion comes from.
Yep.
Like it's so demented that this has been done to these women.
I think you'll probably attest to this.
When a woman comes home and tells you about her day, one of the things that she always touches on is the positive interactions she's had with people throughout that day.
Something that always comes up.
And I think that it's a testament to this impulse being very foundational to women's psychology.
And it's a very good and wholesome impulse.
It's one of women's most redeeming impulses.
And the fact that it's subverted to support political causes is a real tragedy, I think.
Yeah.
Because it is subverting the motherhood instinct.
Because it is subverting the instinct that they naturally have because of motherhood.
And then when you look further at sort of these women, you see in this piece that they interview a woman called Anna in some kind of library doing drag shows for one reason or the other.
And she goes, she doesn't want to seem like a man hater, but she does feel more drawn to revolutionary spaces that are primarily disabled led and queer led spaces.
So, what's happening here?
They've identified victims who are in need of mothering.
And they've poured out their instincts onto them rather than doing so naturally by actually being mothers.
Yeah.
And we've not even.
That's what's gone on here.
We've not even touched on cat and dog ownership and things like that with this manifestations of the same impulse.
Absolutely.
Absolutely.
But this is, this is again completely normal, right?
Women have women's spaces.
Women congregate together away from men because, yes, men put a lot of physical pressure on women.
It's just a part of life.
And honestly, Women put a lot of emotional pressure on men.
That's why the men had their working men's clubs and women had their sewing circles or whatever it is, you know, just something, you know, when, when, when you, when you go into a room as a man and you realize a room full of women, you realize you're intruding on something.
You are the interloper there and you're there for the minimum possible time because you know you don't belong there.
It's fine.
It's totally fine.
But this is what this woman is yearning for.
Yes.
Yes.
But then you see a slightly different thing here, which is women not knowing how to channel their suffering.
So one of these women that they interview, the same Anna that I spoke about earlier, She said that she's always having chronic fatigue and pain, which stems from reproductive issues linked to endometriosis.
And she says that pain was an intrinsic part of being female.
Women are the ones that give birth, she said.
Periods hurt.
Early sexual experiences were often painful and pleasureless.
You're taught to expect pain when you have sex.
You're taught that so many forms of discomfort are normal.
And, you know, this is her essentially parroting Andrea Dworkin.
I mean, Andrea Dworkin was a bit more full on than that.
Fair enough.
Andrea Dworkin said that she was one of the earlier feminist maniacs who said that all penetrative sex is rape and things like this, right?
So, absolute maniac.
And like O'Brien, the article says, the influencer spoken about earlier, Anna connected her radicalism to the inherent pain of being female.
And I wanted to emphasize this point again being a mother is an act of immense sacrifice.
Cleaning the house, cooking, changing diapers, taking care of children.
These are genuinely drudgerous tasks.
This is drudgery.
This is exhausting.
And it can only be done well with love.
It can only be done well because you love your children and you love your husband.
And that is the way that it goes.
That is how women survive this.
They have this balance between the fact that a lot of their work is exhausting and miserable, and they do it out of love.
And that's how it functions.
So, what's happened here is that the love has been stolen.
And instead of being channeled properly towards the family and society and your own community, it's channeled to these abstract causes that you have no say over that don't affect your daily life.
And moreover, sorry, just a quick point.
It's not that men's work isn't drudgery.
Oh, it is.
A lot of the time, no, I mean, this job is great, but like, I'm sure we've all done drudgery.
We've all done drudgery.
Oh, yeah.
That were just total.
Exactly.
Like, my first job was literally carrying heavy boxes all day.
And mine was cleaning the bathrooms and toilets in a nightclub.
Right.
Well, mine was, and then after that, my first job here was doing the dishes in a pub.
Yeah.
Men's Work Is Drudgery Too00:05:02
So.
Oh, yeah, I was a kitchen porter in Newquay as well.
Exactly.
I've done some really boring jobs in my life.
It's miserable.
And the number of men who enjoy their work like we do is much, much smaller than the number of men who don't.
We are very aware of how lucky we are.
And we are blessed.
We are blessed.
Thank you, audience.
By the way, thank you.
Yes, you allow this, so thank you.
But men do this drudgery also out of love for their families.
It's just that the nature of drudgery that men have to suffer under is different from the nature of the drudgery that women have to suffer under.
But generally speaking, pain and sacrifice with a purpose gives life meaning, doesn't it?
That is the meaning of life.
Exactly.
Here's another thing that I find really fascinating about this.
She's saying, look, it hurts to be a woman, right?
Because some women do have endometriosis, which is some sort of lining in the womb that pinches and creeps.
Really horrible.
Yeah, yeah.
I'm not an expert or anything.
And of course, women are the ones who give birth.
And you're also the sort of smaller and weaker sex.
Yes.
So treating women like defective men, what that means is essentially saying, well, you will always be resentful and miserable.
Well, exactly.
Like all of those patriarchal provisions that were made for women in society, well, they have to go.
That's patriarchy.
So now you're not even sort of held by the society itself on the understanding that you're not a man.
Right.
Now you're being treated like a man.
You're like, okay, God, I feel totally on my own.
Everything's painful and nobody cares.
Well, it's.
It's like that feminist that dressed up as a man and then realized, actually, yeah, society is so much nicer to women.
Exactly.
Yeah, yeah.
Nora.
That's right.
Nora Vincent.
That's it.
Nora Vincent, yeah.
And it's not like the plumber doesn't have backaches every day.
Oh, yeah, absolutely.
And it's not like the bricklayer isn't, you know, covered in cuts and in bruises and constantly suffering with knee pain and back pain and whatnot.
So yes, it's drudgery, but it's drudgery for all of us.
But look what she's saying here.
Her politics become more radical during the long process of getting personal independent payments for a disability.
Again, this, this wouldn't have been a long process if you had a husband, friends and family around you, right?
Well, she does.
Well, does she?
She has, she has a boyfriend.
Well, she has a, yeah, that's not the same.
No, it isn't.
Like she has a boyfriend who she describes as a fucking Labrador.
Yes.
You know, she doesn't like him.
She doesn't, he's not taking care of her.
That's the point.
Because he's treating her as she wants to, as she thinks she wants to be treated.
As just an equal.
Rather than as she, How she needs to be treated.
Exactly.
Because she's there expecting, she felt the whole system was set up against her.
It's like, well, if it was your husband, your parents, your husband's parents, and the neighbors helping you out, okay, you wouldn't be getting personal independence payments, but you would have people who were caring about you and who actually liked you and loved you.
The whole experience makes her feel dehumanized.
I no longer feel politically aligned with this country.
It's like, well, you're not.
On a personal level, again, we have these policies that aren't looking after us.
Oh, I can't believe the government's not looking after you.
I can't believe the government doesn't.
Didn't actually fulfill the role of a village community.
Yes.
Incredible.
Exactly.
Incredible news.
And you sort of see how bad the relationship with men is because, as you say, this one describes her man as a fucking Labrador.
And he reads a book about how climate change isn't actually that big a deal.
And it's hard to separate that from the fact that he's not really faced much adversity in his life, as he's a straight white man who was privately educated.
I'm probably the adversity in his life.
Now, I. Surprisingly honest, though.
Exactly.
Exactly.
And then another woman complains that basically they were in a protest tent and there was a major Israeli airstrike in Gaza that burnt a bunch of tents and 45 people died.
And so the men, instead of crying, they set about planning the next day's protest.
And she views that as men not having the same emotional range as women.
And basically the problem is that men act whereas women feel.
Yes.
That is how it's supposed to be.
Yes.
And you are meant to be the source of adversity in our lives in a good way because you do motivate us to be better and we want to provide for you and we want to do what's good for you.
I, you know, I want to get you a bigger house and a better garden and a nicer car and, and, and this is what we want.
Yeah.
And we need something from you in exchange, but you're viewing this relationship as you substituting us or us substituting you.
When in reality, biology dictates that our roles are fundamentally different and this has.
Social, economic, and political implications.
I mean, look at this one on Ash.
Politics is Ash's whole life.
That's the thing.
So empty.
So she says here that she's pretty much given up on her friend's life and on any kind of concern for her own college advancement and so on.
Biology Dictates Different Roles00:02:18
And then she complains that having a family will involve sacrificing her career, her or one of the other women.
That is just fundamentally not true.
So tragic.
Firstly, having a family does involve making career sacrifices.
Yes, especially for women, that is how it should be.
Because you're getting your reward from something else that isn't your career.
I mean, look at these.
There's nothing for me in this country.
If I can do something to make someone else comfortable, I should.
It's like, yeah, but that person should be someone you know and love.
It's that simple.
Exactly.
She's sort of looking at it from a very male perspective here.
I mean, I do politics for a living.
I still have time to spend time with my family and do other things and have hobbies.
You don't actually have to dedicate yourself 24 7 to it, you can be a normal person still.
It's actually good for you.
It is very good.
I'm afraid we're running out of time there.
All right.
So I'm going to close this with just two things Beauty and the Beast and Little Red Riding Hood.
The lesson of Beauty and the Beast is that to bring a prince out of a monster, you must love him first.
That's the moral of the story.
Her father makes her go to the beast's house because he had made a promise, he makes her keep her word.
It's the same theme as The Princess and the Frog.
And in exchange for loving a frog or a beast, you get a prince.
That is the natural, healthy order of things.
That is the natural and healthy order.
Worked for my wife.
Say again?
Worked for my wife.
Exactly.
Exactly.
The second point is really Little Red Riding Hood.
The wolf leads Little Red Riding Hood into a life of degeneracy and collecting little flowers.
The flowers, by their very nature, fade, unlike personal relations with their loved ones.
Which are in a very real sense eternal because they build community and society.
The answer ends up being the woodsman with his axe slaying the wolf that leads women astray.
Weaponizing Female Empathy00:06:09
And the feminists of the new statesmen who led that many women astray and now are realizing that they've gone too far need to be compensated, they need their just rewards.
Not necessarily an axe, but most definitely total social and political exclusion.
And let's leave it there.
Let's move on.
Okay.
Can you pull up my segment, Samson?
Okay.
So, women's politics is, ironically enough, making life more dangerous for women.
And this is, of course, because women tend to vote for left wing candidates, and left wing candidates tend to bring in very dangerous men that make their life in their own country more dangerous, funnily enough.
And it's because of the weaponization of their empathy, which.
In ordinary times, it would be a virtue, a pro social thing, but it's turned against them and applied to people outside of their social circles.
And that ultimately leads to a situation where not only are they unfulfilled in their lives, not having as deep personal connections to the people around them, but they're also importing people who will do them harm.
And we can see this in the fact that offences are on the rise here.
Here, this is the ONS.
Here's the graph.
Okay.
Can we turn off the Black background, please, Samson, quickly.
But you can see from about 2013 onwards, there's a massive spike here.
Yeah.
And this is sexual offences.
Total sexual offences in 2003, which is where this goes to, is 56,000 with 12,000 rapes.
And it goes to 200,000 with 71,000 rapes in 2025.
It's just an insane number.
It just happens to correlate precisely with mass immigration.
And it obviously is as well, because we've got the numbers.
We know which nationalities are doing this.
It's people from.
Places like Afghanistan, they're one of the top nationalities to do this sort of thing.
Eritrea, yes.
We know the countries that are doing this.
We know the people.
We see it in the news.
We see it in statistics.
And yet, people are still saying, oh, you know, what about these poor people's right to live a good life, free from persecution?
Well, what about your right not to be raped?
I think that's actually more important.
It's not necessarily yours.
Maybe you're not bothered about it, but what about some other woman?
You know, maybe you think you won't be the target of it, but other women and girls will be.
Exactly.
And I think that what has actually been done to women is that their empathy and their kindness to other humans has been weaponized against the very societies that they rely on to exist in the first place.
And it's a deliberate subversion.
It's deliberately done to get people at one another's throats, to destroy the nation state.
And it has turned something that is very wholesome into something very destructive.
And I'm amazed at the fact that only.
Half of people think the UK is more dangerous for women over the last five years because it's pretty indisputable.
In fact, you could just go off of anecdotal evidence of people that you know and know it's more dangerous.
You can look with your own eyes and look at the people who are raped.
And we have the statistics.
We do have the statistics.
I mean, 71,000 rapes a year.
Isn't that something like 3% of women every year are raped?
It's a bit dark, isn't it?
It's mad.
Absolutely mad.
So, yes, 52%.
It's like fully South Africa.
Oh, yeah.
That's not exactly a silver lining, is it?
52% of women think the UK has become more dangerous in the last five years.
So, okay, it's still a slight majority.
But the fact that there's 48% don't know, I think this is a deliberate thing, right?
That these sorts of stories, the statistics are kept out of the news, kept out of social circles because they're seen as racist and taboo.
When actually, The reality is obvious.
We have all the information.
The debate is settled.
Yeah.
There's literally nothing else to say about it.
No.
Yeah.
And like, look at this 80% of women think the government should be doing more to tackle violence against women and girls.
Well, not bringing in men from vastly different cultures who have really different opinions on the propriety of their behavior towards women would be a really great start to that.
One of the things I really hate at the minute as well is the language of people like Jess Phillips when they talk about this sort of thing and they just say men blanket.
But it's not.
It's not all men, is it?
It's specific men.
All men are the same, completely the same.
And that's part of the problem as well.
Black slates.
They hate women.
The solution to dangerous men is good men.
It's not more government, is it?
Yeah.
Literally the only solution.
That is literally the lesson of Little Red Riding Hood.
Yeah.
That's literally the answer.
Little Red Riding Hood is actually a story for men.
It's an instruction to men and a warning to women.
And there's also the fact that they're voting or supporting.
As there hasn't been a vote yet.
Parties which will just open the floodgates for people who will do harm to them.
It's mad.
Indisputably, right?
Absolutely mad.
It's like turkeys voting for Christmas.
It's like them heaping wood on their own funeral pyre.
I mean, the actual numbers in this as well are crazy, right?
So, greens were in first place among women on 57% in 2024.
So, 57% of the party's vote was female.
But more in common have found that now 64% of newer green voters are female.
So, it's like, that is lambs for the slaughter, man.
Yes.
Absolutely mad.
I just can't get over it.
And it's just a failure to acknowledge the danger that's been invited in, right?
It's, it's, I don't know how people can be so delusional that they can't just see it in their everyday lives.
Especially when they're outsourcing their own safety to the government.
It's like, hey, but you've outsourced other things to the government and you're miserable, you're in pain, you're frustrated, you feel the system isn't working for you.
Turkeys Voting For Christmas00:03:54
Why do you think it's going to work for you in this particular regard?
Like that other woman, Anna or whatever else, who couldn't get a disability payment.
Oh, I feel like the system's against me.
There's no place for me in this country, said the other woman.
It's like, then why make it worse?
Yes.
Why trust them on this?
And the funny thing is, as well, that you can sort of scratch these sorts of people, not literally, but figuratively, and you will find that they still have these impulses that would make them traditional.
I once dated for quite some time someone who was a Labour Party activist.
I know, don't shoot me.
But when I asked her, what is it you like most about me?
And she said, you make me feel safe, which is like the least Labour Party answer you could have possibly said.
But that biology bubbles through with the people that are more honest with themselves and more willing to.
Admit that, yeah, actually, there is this biological impulse within me that craves this, but my politics jeopardize it.
Just like the previous woman saying, well, men don't feel in the same way I feel.
Yeah, no, that's true.
That's absolutely true.
And the new statesman going, well, that seems a bit biologically essentialist, even reactionary.
It's like, yes, because you are thinking in the layer of ideology and abstraction and pretending that's all it is to be a human, is in the abstract, the rational.
It's like, no, sorry, there's a lot of non rational feeling that happens.
That is also accurate to reality, is correct actually.
I never thought I'd be in the position where I'd say paying attention to your feelings is actually the way we solve some of the world's problems, but here we are.
Well, it's certainly true.
Most of what you do during the day isn't really a rational calculation.
No, it's not.
I mean, this is my wheelhouse.
Yeah, I know.
Yeah, I know.
Like most of the way I like to characterize it is the human mind is like a jockey riding a racehorse, right?
Consciousness is the jockey.
Jonathan Haidt, the rider of the elephant, right?
Very similar thing, except I hadn't read that.
Now I feel like it's been.
Sorry.
Plagiarizing unintentionally.
But yeah, basically.
Call it convergence.
Yeah.
The jockey is in control over the things that, you know, they can have control over.
But ultimately, if the horse sees a snake or is spooked, the horse is in control, right?
The horse still decides where it goes.
It's just sometimes when they're in alignment, they can go in the same direction when their intentions are.
It's two levels of action, right?
So the horse, when it comes to making higher order decisions, has nothing to say about.
You know, how much money you should spend or save at the end of the month, right?
So you have to make a rational decision about those things.
But when it comes to the human things that you engage with on a daily basis, like, you know, the habitual, you get up, you make your kids' breakfast, you give them a kiss, you go off to work, you know, all these normal things that you do on a normal day, I don't need to make a rational decision there.
Like the horse is perfectly capable of getting me to my end goal and does it very well.
But my point is that the horse is the dominant force in this, right?
And actually, we need to acknowledge that our unconscious mind is, The major force in our life.
And I don't think people actually approach politics in that way.
And it's totally normal, it's totally healthy, it's totally fine for you to be a feeling being, not just a thinking being.
I mean, it's important to stop and think about an important decision, but actually, a lot of the time, you don't really do that that often, do you?
You don't actually have to stop.
And I do recommend people, you know, thinking deeply about things, obviously.
I've sort of made a career of it.
But at the same time, you've got to acknowledge your nature as a human being.
And I think that that's something that's being overlooked here.
But I acknowledge that a society of just intellectuals wouldn't get anywhere.
Or nothing would get done, would it?
Exactly.
It's like that Monty Python sketch of the philosopher's football, right?
Yeah, I didn't laugh at it.
And yes, of course, the Green Party is open borders, as we touched on.
And so, yes, it is.
Can we just read out their exact words?
It's kind of mad, actually, right?
Migration policy.
The Philosopher's Football Problem00:15:06
Horrifying.
The Green Party wants to see a world without borders.
Until this happens, the Green Party will implement a fair and humane system of managed migration where people can move if they wish to do so.
So, literally, no limits whatsoever.
So, if some Somalian patriarch is like, I want to go wherever to do whatever I want that I can do in Somalia.
Well, the green pile, like, yeah, no, he should be able to come here and do that.
We've got a shortage of pirates.
Come fill that gap.
Yeah, it's mad.
This is an insanely dangerous policy.
And yet, women are breaking for the Green Party, which is going to make their lives worse.
If you don't feel safe now, think about what you're going to be.
I mean, people are going to think, oh, this could be up to 4 million people in.
Maybe.
That sounds optimistic.
But I also think that men and women.
I wouldn't stop at any number.
Yeah, exactly.
I also think that men and women perceive danger differently.
Like, to use an anecdote to sort of hammer it home, I remember walking back late at night with my then girlfriend.
And there was a man who had his hood up, and his body language basically signaled that he was looking for trouble.
And I said, We better cross the road because, you know, I didn't want to get into trouble for no reason.
And she's like, Why, why?
There's no problem.
I was like, No, no, honestly.
Yeah, just listen to me.
Yeah.
And then, thankfully, she did listen to me.
And then, as we were walking past, we heard a big bang, and he like kicked a bin or something.
I was like, That could have been us if you hadn't listened to me.
And it's this, it's basically just primed in us.
One thing I did when I was at university was.
We did a study on emotional recognition in faces, and women are much better at recognizing sad faces.
Men are much better at recognizing angry faces.
Oh, really?
And who would have thought?
Yeah.
It sort of plays into our different social roles, doesn't it?
That we can recognize danger, anger, and aggression.
And I think that that's the same thing playing out here, that it's harder for them to understand the danger of it.
And I'm not saying that women are completely oblivious or that there aren't women that can recognize it.
Of course, there are.
It's just not intuitive.
Yeah, it's less intuitive than it is for a man.
And I think that that's what is fundamentally at play with this split here.
And yes, and here's an article from Unheard Is mass immigration driving the rise in UK sexual violence?
Yes.
Obviously, yes.
And in fact, the article reads, if I can find it, new data has revealed that the number of sexual offence convictions for foreign nationals has increased by over 60% in four years, which is absolutely astronomical.
Imagine if your wages had gone up by 60% in four years.
You'd be like, amazing.
Life changing.
Yeah, it'd be life changing.
You'd be like, oh my God, I can buy a bigger house.
I can buy a bigger car.
Okay, no.
Imagine that now is just sexual assault.
In a functioning society, this would be on the news headline day in, day out.
Exactly.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And it's not, is it?
Yes.
By the way, ladies, careful out there.
There are foreign men who are way more likely to rape you than other kinds of men, is what the data tells us.
And even quite sensible women will overlook the data here because they don't necessarily apply it in their lives.
They say, well, You know, I'll be careful, or I've got my keys in my pocket.
And it's like, no, no, that's not enough.
No.
You know, especially with the modern day, with gangs of men, no one really stands a chance there.
And you're inviting situations that you'll never be able to escape from, which is a tragedy.
And it carries on to say in the last year, they have accounted for one in seven sexual offense convictions, even though they make up only one in 10 people in the total population.
So largely overrepresented.
Yeah.
The overall number of recorded sexual crimes in the UK has risen in the last four years from 147,000 to over 200,000.
Which I covered at the beginning.
While the increase in sexual offences perpetrated by British citizens should not be ignored, foreign nationals are heavily overrepresented.
And they ask the question, why is that the case?
Well, we know why that is the case.
Firas, you look like you want to say something.
No, not really.
Why is that the case is a stupid question.
We just know the answer.
Yeah, because they come from cultures in which it's more acceptable.
And also, advertise to them that women here are easy.
A lot of them have a particular attitude towards our women that they don't hold to their own.
That's also true, yeah.
But in some cultures, as I say, some cultures like I dread to think what the rates are like in places like Pakistan or Bangladesh, right?
Like, you know.
Well, there's a reason that these cultures don't send women out unattended.
Yeah, absolutely not.
And that is common cultural practice.
And the fact that we do not do that because we have a functioning civilization, they see as weakness, actually.
It's not.
It's just that we're not monsters, yeah.
So it carries on to say much of the surge in sexual offence convictions in the UK is linked to unprecedented levels of legal immigration, which is an important point to point out as well, because quite often illegal immigration gets pointed to.
The overall number of recorded sexual crimes.
Oh, no, that's something else.
Post Brexit immigration reforms under Boris Johnson, the so called Boris Wave, allowed entry into the UK of migrants from Nigeria, Pakistan, and India.
In 2024, citizens from these countries were among the top 10 nationalities convicted of sexual offences.
This is why people talk about the Boris wave all the time because these people are from countries that are not first world countries.
They're not countries that exist in anything remotely close to the European paradigm of civilization.
That's putting it politely.
They just have a very different view on women.
Their perception is that if your women aren't actively defended, then they're fair game.
Yeah, and I think that it's an abominable view and they're monsters on it.
Of course, obviously.
Active defense means constantly having a male with them.
Those men are completely incompatible with Western civilization, in my opinion.
But anyway, here is something that you've captioned, Carl.
Afghans are mental.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Well, because Nigel Farage had said in 2025 that an Afghan male is 22 times more likely of being convicted of rape than someone born in this country.
And Sky News were like, that's not true.
It's three times more likely, actually.
It's like, isn't that bad enough?
Three times is bad enough.
Like, that's wild.
I think if you are even having a moderate immigration system, You would at least want people that were, you know, equivalent to the British population or less.
Yeah.
Not three times more likely.
It's crazy.
Yeah, it is crazy.
It's a society destroying.
This was a dunk on Nigel Farage.
It's only three times more Nigel.
It's funny what they reveal, isn't it, when they actually want to?
And here's the Guardian saying, majority of girls and young women in the UK alter behaviour to feel safe, study finds.
So you don't live in a free country anymore.
It's not free by the policies that the Green Party wants.
Yeah.
And even when I was growing up, you know, I'd walk around at night in the city of Plymouth and there'd be women walking alone because it was basically a very majority white city.
And it was safe, even though it was a large city.
Yeah.
Like 20 years ago, someone would just wander, you'd go out drinking at the bottom of town, then everyone would just wander home.
And there was also this assurance that there would be men.
Around if there was a bad apple about the unlikely event that you come across one that would defend you.
And it is the case.
I've seen it happen where a man's gone a bit too far and then another man steps in, doesn't know either party, but does it for the sake of moral reasons.
Right thing to do.
Exactly.
As opposed to actually joining in, which is what happens in some chunks of understanding.
So it says that here we go.
The research found that 56% of Girls and young women in the UK aged between 11 and 21 said they feel unsafe traveling by themselves, up from 45% in 2022.
To be honest, in this day and age, depending on where you live, if you live in a major city, it should be 100%.
Well, it probably is.
It's probably not evenly spread across the country.
Of course, right?
If you live in a small village, it's just percentage wise.
Yeah, exactly.
But there is this massive disparity.
You can even tell, just, you know, I don't know whether you can tell this, Carl, but depending on what part of England someone's from, you can tell.
Where they grew up.
You can tell a city person from a country person by how they carry themselves.
And I think that people who've grown up in cities, again, this is me.
Less self assured.
Yeah, they are.
They're more fearful.
They are less trusting of other people.
And I notice this most of all when I'm on the train to London.
People are just suspicious and rude to one another because that's what they're used to in the city.
And I think that that is a big part of that.
And it says while almost one third said they avoided public transport altogether, which I don't blame them actually.
Yeah, it doesn't feel safe anymore, particularly in major cities.
And this is what the politics that women are choosing are doing to them.
Yes.
Girl Guiding's annual Girls Attitude Survey found that 86% of respondents have avoided going out after dark to stay safe, with girls of color less likely to step out.
I don't know what that's got to do.
I suppose they live in urban areas that are more dangerous.
But it's basically creating a part of society that women were once able to participate in that they can no longer participate in.
And they're voting for this.
So you're voting for your own basically inability to have freedom to move around your own body.
You're voting for the situation they have in Saudi Arabia where women aren't allowed out of the house without a male escort.
That's what you're creating for yourselves with this immigration policy.
Well, the niqab and the hijab are supposed to be to protect women from men.
That's the logic behind them.
And if you are uncovered, that implies that you are undefended and willing, or if not willing, permissible.
And so, you're signaling.
Exactly.
Whether you like it or not.
And so, the mindset here is so fundamentally different that pretending not to get it is really dangerous.
This is an interesting thing here.
The survey also explored misogyny in schools.
More than half of girls age 11 to 18, 58%, said they experienced male pupils making toxic comments.
Okay, well, what is the racial demographics of young people in the schools now?
It's actually 38% immigrant or immigrant descended.
Well, do they have a different opinion on women?
Has this been going up over time?
It looks like it has.
Yep.
Again, you're making an awful world through your own political choices.
No, it's very frustrating, isn't it?
And there is this here.
I'm not sure who did this segment.
Oh, this is Firas' segment.
Well, Firas, talk to us about what the ancestral solution to this problem is.
Well, you mentioned it earlier.
I did.
It's the man with an axe.
Yeah, the fairy tales are there for a reason, and they actually quite comprehensively give you moral instruction on what to do.
And the answer is basically the men have to essentially just stop listening.
To this, and the sensible women have to come over to the men and say, Yeah, no, we want a proper country and allow us to fix it.
That's what it's got to come down to.
You've got to allow us to fix this.
One of the reassuring things I've actually seen is that lots of women are slowly coming around to this mindset.
And in fact, it's becoming more and more socially acceptable to criticize migration and say that migrants are disproportionately the ones that are putting women in danger.
And that's good.
It's a sign that we're winning the argument, but it's got to go much, much further than it has so far.
Yeah, absolutely.
But we've outlined the problem.
Please stop voting for it.
I'm sure if you're watching this podcast, you do not.
You're one of the good women that has the solution.
And the solution, of course, is not having these people in your country in the first place.
But please encourage your friends to stop doing it.
Right.
Some comments from the website.
Sophie says, It's no wonder this makes women miserable.
We're actually being taught if we ever need help or can't do anything by ourselves, we just failed at being a woman.
We failed the cause.
If ever you dare rely on a man in any capacity, you failed the sisterhood.
It's an inhuman burden put on women who are made to feel like constant failures.
It amuses me that the office cube is always portrayed as hell on earth.
Unless a woman is there, then it's desirable empowerment.
And that's so true.
Like, look at Gen X media.
It's all how do I escape the office cube and become a hero?
Right.
I want to fight club, the Matrix, or whatever it is.
It's just like, no, like office space.
Like, just get out of the goddamn office.
It is spiritual poison.
And these women are just like, yeah, great.
I can't wait to be a girl boss.
It's like, trust me, it's awful.
Also, women like to be helped, really, in the state of nature.
Like, as far as I see it, my toolbox is like an aphrodisiac.
As soon as you take it out, she's like, okay.
Oh, yeah.
It's sort of the sign of a competent man, isn't it?
My wife loves it when I build furniture.
Like, I don't know what it is, but I start building some furniture and she's like, oh, you look handsome.
Oh, thank you, darling.
Appreciate that.
But it's totally normal.
Russian says, first, raise an important point.
In 1971, just 18% of 30 year olds had no children.
Today, that figure has risen to 50%.
Yeah, it's most.
Young women now don't have children, which is the first time ever.
Uh, and this biological clock, like, is not going to go away.
And so when they get into their mid thirties, fertility rates have dramatically dropped.
It's emotionally damaging for young women to go through this, right?
And I saw a thing the other day about freezing eggs.
Apparently, it's not that you can freeze for a while and then it drops off.
No, no, no.
There's a steep drop off right from the beginning when it comes to women's fertility and freezing eggs.
You probably can't just freeze your eggs and then just use them in 10, 15 years' time, right?
You probably can't do that.
So, anyway, Justin says the feminist propaganda has been going for a long time.
I've been rewatching a lot of old series and films, and it's shocking how blatantly obvious some of it is looking back.
Yeah, I know, right?
That was the thing with the Edward Bernays thing, where it's like, oh my God, this is just feminist propaganda.
Yes.
And obviously so as well.
Yeah.
And it is constant subversion.
It is constant manipulation of women to give them very unrealistic expectations of life, very stupid expectations of life intended to destroy them.
There were advertising campaigns in the 70s that literally said, quote, women can have it all.
And it's like, no man thinks he can have it all.
No man thinks he can have it all.
You can't have a career, you can't have a family, you can't have kids.
Like, you can do it all yourself.
You can't do it, you know, you need a wife to help you.
Zesty says, I had a teacher in school that showed our classes over three lessons the red pill.
Once it ended, he asked whether everyone still called themselves a feminist.
Every woman in the class put their hand up while every man kept their hand down.
That's good.
Demonia Woodsman says, Among my wife's friends, only two say they're interested in having kids in the future.
The crazy thing is, most of them are in long term relationships.
Genuinely shocking and sad to see.
All Gen Z. Mad.
That's crazy to me because if they're in a long term relationship, normally that switches.
Women Can't Have It All00:05:27
Yep.
I don't know how schooling is in the UK, but here in Canada, from the start of elementary school, we all get bombarded with this idea that right up to the 60s and 70s, women were treated like cattle by men.
And you can see this take hold only time we reach the high school uni, where the average woman is perpetually wound up and bitter against men in general.
It's absolute intellectual and spiritual poison.
Yes.
And this is precisely the issue.
It's genuinely the feminist narrative on women is that essentially they were just slaves right up until, like, was it Gloria Steinem burst the chains or whatever.
It's like, no, it's nonsense.
It's absolutely nonsense.
Ewan says, I believe feminism is the worst thing that's ever happened to women.
It's certainly the worst thing in modern times that's happened to women.
There are probably things in the past that have been worse, but you'd have to go back quite a long way.
The invasion of the Huns, the Mongols, that was pretty bad for Europe's women.
Yeah.
Well, that's what I mean.
You go to about like 600 years.
That's true.
And to an invasion of steppe nomad barbarians to find something as bad for women as feminism.
Yep.
Jen Havik says, it feels like these women really need emotional connections with people they can actually talk to about such injustices.
Because when you get invested in problems over which you have no control or solutions, talking to people you care about is one way to deal with it.
Exactly.
Like having a hug.
Yeah.
Yeah, exactly.
There's no catharsis in it.
And so it builds up in these women and they.
Frankly, end up voting for Zach Polanski.
Furious Dan says, Radical feminism has been around long enough that there are feminists with grandsons.
We have a generation of men and boys who have never known what a healthy romantic relationship looks like, unspoiled by man hatred, and that spells disaster for the future.
Correct.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I mean, it's just terrible, but you can see the men are still like putting out the hand.
You know, 72% still have a positive view of women.
They're still like, No, no, I still love women.
You know, that's the thing.
You know, only 7% actively hate women.
I think also if you allow yourself to hate the opposite sex whilst also your biology.
Making you seek them out.
It's an inherently destabilizing mental state to be in.
And I think that men are better able to navigate this because they're not having that reinforcement.
We're just sort of left to our own devices.
What the New Statesman's piece shows is that it's up to women to extend the other hand, right?
And to grasp a hand of men.
Men are trying to put their hands out.
Women, it's up to you.
You have to change, right?
And I realize this is not something that a lot of women like to hear, but you have to change the way that you are now, the way that you think.
It's going to lead you to ruin and misery, right?
It's just not going to help you at all.
Uh, Doug and E says, in a past age, we recognized this maternal instinct run haywire as a mental illness.
Probably.
Uh, Derek says to Ferras, modernity rejects patient suffering in favor of instant pleasure.
Well, that's true.
That is very true.
Uh, Ann Emos, Swindon grievance factory worker says, great, great title.
It's a beautiful name, right?
Uh, women who don't understand per capita and use logic when it comes to statistics is a failure of education and mainstream media.
And in London, that failure can result in women getting hurt.
Uh, not can, does.
And sorry to contradict, but yeah, no, you're not wrong at all.
Thank you, Russian garbage human, for agreeing with me as well.
Jimbo says the reason women are currently being hypnotized by Zach Polanski is because he speaks in horoscopes.
That's kind of true, actually.
I see what you're saying.
Yeah, because he never says anything concrete, right?
He's always like saying things like, well, when we tax the billionaires, everything will be fine.
Yes.
It's like, well, no.
And then you get someone like Dan who's like, no, 10,000 of them leave every year or whatever, and the 1% gets smaller and smaller and smaller and closer to the ground.
But Zach Polanski doesn't care.
He's not promising numbers.
I saw an interesting thing on the screens today where they were complaining about the BBC's investigation into asylum seekers pretending to be gay to get asylum.
And he said, what was it?
It was dangerous or something like that.
Yeah.
And it's a description of objective reality, yet he's just generally pushing back with objection, but not any detail as to why it's bad.
Hmm.
No, no, that's exactly the problem.
Random name says, Women always want me to share my feelings with them, yet when I do, they freak out and call me a fascist.
The thing is, right, remember, on a personal level, a lot of this is what we call a shit test, right?
And so you just say, Well, I don't care what you call me.
These are my views, and they're right.
You just hold your ground, and eventually she will come to respect you for holding your ground.
This is just.
Read Lancelot's comments.
Or is it spicy?
It was a bit spicy.
I don't want to, you know, we've been quite sympathetic.
Okay.
You know, sympathetic comments.
Fine, see if I care.
It is quite funny, though.
And it's also correct.
Josh is right about women perceiving danger differently.
The issue is when women refuse to listen.
Yeah.
And, but not only that, like when they have themselves been heavily politicized and so can form coalitions, political coalitions that can override men's ability to put their foot down and say, no, this is where the line is, right?
And I think as a civilization, the best thing we can do is have an agreement that when it comes to danger, women listen to men.
And when it comes to like familial relations and social circles.
When it comes to caring.
Yeah, when it comes to caring, men listen to women.
Exactly.
When Women Refuse To Listen00:01:10
It really is that easy.
Yeah.
And if only this could be the normal attitude in the country, we could fix everything very, very quickly.
There are a lot of normal people that think this way.
They just don't necessarily have to formally articulate it.
They're just not 53% of young people.
That's true, yeah.
And again, you know, it's fine for me and my wife and my family and the people around me and stuff like that.
But there are whole generations coming up who have just got a totally demented view of intersexual relationships.
And it's just like, oh my God, how can this ever be fixed?
Anyway, I guess we'll leave that there for today.
I realize it's been pretty full on, but I think that ultimately we're right about all of this.
And it's worth covering it in some detail.
I really think so.
And, you know, because we're men who are experienced in the world, right?
Like we actually have been there, we've done it, we've seen it.
And we actually do know better on this.
Just genuinely, on a personal level, we have successful personal relationships with our wives, with our family, with our friends, with careers.
We know where this road goes and we know where the other road goes.
And so, genuinely, we think we're worth listening to on this subject.
And we wouldn't have spent all this time on this one thing if we didn't.
But anyway, thanks for joining us, folks, and we'll see you tomorrow.
