| Okay, so hit me with the why if you follow the argument, which is not to say that you agree with every aspect of it. which is not to say that you agree with every Because why is the woman getting an extra $320,000 over eight years? | |
| Why? | |
| Why is the woman getting an extra $320,000? | |
| Well, normally, it's because, well, honey, you're giving up your economic productivity in order to run the household, raise the children, be pregnant, breastfeed, so I am providing you the excess resources so that you can... | |
| So the human race can continue, right? | |
| What's the point of all these excess resources if the human race, say, doesn't continue? | |
| Why do men provide these extra resources for women? | |
| Well, it's not for women, it's for children. | |
| But the prerequisite for having children is women being, in general, for a while economically disabled. | |
| Pregnant breastfeeding, tired sleeplessness, physical challenges and damages of childbirth, and so on. | |
| I mean, if you've ever been around a pregnant breastfeeding woman, babies, infants, they're basically vampires. | |
| They just hang off the jugular and slurpy mommy. | |
| I mean, it's a beautiful thing as a whole, but... | |
| They're kind of takers, these little pink cherub vampires, and women can't get much done. | |
| And that's just, you know, I only have one kid, but with multiple kids, of course, it's even worse, right? | |
| I mean, we end up with these giant brains because we take so long to develop, and someone's got to pay for that development, and in general, it's the men. | |
| So modern dating is women wanting the benefits The first couple of days at work without ever having to do any work. | |
| So you can show up to some new job. | |
| You spend a couple of days getting oriented. | |
| Maybe the first week you don't do that much. | |
| You start to sort of... | |
| So why do they pay you for that week? | |
| So you work later. | |
| So you do the actual work later. | |
| But imagine if you just keep jumping from job to job. | |
| New job, new job, new job, new job. | |
| Well, you get all the cake, you get to get paid, you get fun, no responsibilities, then just jump to a new job. | |
| That's dating. | |
| This is modern dating. | |
| Modern dating is over and over a first week at work. | |
| No big heavy responsibilities, no business travel, no weekend work, no late night work, no difficult employees. | |
| You're just kind of having fun and getting acclimatized. | |
| And then, before any actual work shows up, off you go to the next job. | |
| Off you go to the next job. | |
| That's modern dating. | |
| That's modern dating. | |
| It's women wanting the benefits of dating, which is a prerequisite for the work of having a family. | |
| It's just wanting to go and keep getting new jobs, keep getting new jobs. | |
| and never having to put in the work that the dating is a down payment for. | |
| So, that's why it's very hard to get women to settle down, because there's always a new job they can jump to. | |
| Always a new job they can jump to. | |
| And so if you say, no, you need to stay in this job, now the hard work begins. | |
| They're like, nope, I think I'll go to a new job, get some more cake, have some more fun, get some more lunches, have some more propeller heads swarming around my technology, and I'm going to vanish before the hard work shows up. | |
| Why would I want to be around for the hard work, man? | |
| That first week is a lot of fun. | |
| It sort of reminds me of the last day of school when I was a kid. | |
| The last day of school was a blast, man. | |
| I remember we would divvy the boys and girls back when we knew what these things were. | |
| You'd divvy the boys and girls up, have them sit on either side, and there would be trivia questions, the boys versus the girls, and everybody would find it hysterical and funny, and it was like a blast, man. | |
| I loved that. | |
| I loved that last couple of days. | |
| Okay. | |
| So, if you say, like, I'm dating with the intention of getting married and having kids, then you're saying, I'll pay for the dates. | |
| It's a down payment on our mutual endeavor to continue the human race. | |
| But no, it's a new job to get to, some more cakes, some more lunches, some more fun, some more little parties, and getting to meet new people, and, you know, and then just, right? | |
| Of course, the economy couldn't work if people just kept jumping from job to job every week and never actually did any work. | |
| The economy would collapse. | |
| Well, of course, the birth rate is collapsing because all of that is happening. | |
| Dating is more fun in the short run than getting pregnant and raising kids. | |
| So what are women getting paid for? | |
| I just want a guy who, like, funds my lifestyle and spoils me. | |
| Access male resources are for children. | |
| Access male resources are for children. | |
| And do not give women money if they're not interested in having children. | |
| That's all that can save the world. | |
| It's the only thing that can save the world. | |
| You don't Give women money if they're not interested in having children. | |
| Because your money is for the children. | |
| Otherwise, you're pillaging the brilliance of your ancestors in the economic productivity of men for the sake of sex. | |
| That is sterile. | |
| Sterile sex. | |
| Sucks. |
