Do Men Need Women? Do Women Need Men?

Time Text
Men need women because they're animals and women help de-animalize them.
Not thoroughly, hopefully, but mostly.
And women can easily have emotions overwhelm them and therefore think less rationally.
The last caller hung up.
It was clear to all of you that I wanted to continue to speak to her.
Perhaps that's because...
I explained what I had said, and then she just didn't have any more objection.

Rather important issue.
Nobody talks about it.
People are afraid.
As I have said very, very often, fear of the left is the greatest fear in America.
People whisper to me at airports that they're conservative.
Yes, they come over and they look around and then they whisper.
Okay, let's go to Chris in Hendersonville, North Carolina.
Hello, Chris.
Hey, Dennis.
How are you, sir?
Good.
Thank you.
I agree with most of what you say, man.
I really do.
But I took a little bit of sense to when you were describing men.
Not as animals, because we are.
But, you know, physically I get that, but you said sexual predator.
That sort of stung a little bit.
I don't know why.
Can you elaborate on that for me?
Yeah.
Without a moral code, men will grab any woman, or for that matter, if they're so inclined, any male, and have sex with them, whether or not the object of their desire wants it.
I feel like I wouldn't do that, even without law.
I feel like some people have a moral...
Most people should.
I think that that might be more of a mental disability or something.
You think murder is a mental disability?
No, I guess I don't.
So do you think without any moral code, there would be a lot more murder?
I think if the cops went on strike, there would be a lot more murder?
You know what the first thing armies do?
Unless they have a code, they rape.
Wow.
Well, it's a credit to you that you said wow.
Always comment on that.
When someone disagrees with me, I offer them coherent arguments, and they listen.
To your credit, my friend.
That is why I have such contempt for the belief that people are basically good.
It drives me crazy, actually.
And it is a major source of problems in society that people believe that.
They believe it because they're around good people, so they think it came naturally.
When codes break down, look at how people act.
Read about the Soviet Army's rape of German women.
Was it millions?
I think it was millions of German women.
Gang rapes.
Not just individual rapes.
One of the reasons that I actually believe in the divine roots of the first five books of the Bible is the law in Deuteronomy that This is 3,000 years ago in the late Bronze Age.
Law in the fifth book of the Bible.
If you go to war and you see a woman you want, you bring her home.
You cannot touch her for 30 days while she mourns her family.
And then after 30 days, if you want to, you can marry her.
