How Is the Relationship Between Young Men and Women?
| Copy link to current segment

Time Text
How is the relationship between young men in the modern West and institutions as a whole?
Do you feel treasured and welcomed in school?
Oh, what about the media?
Oh, what about sitcoms?
What about movies?
What about commercials?
Where women are always brilliant and men are always bumbling idiots, bumping into wars like a drunken Roomba?
How do you feel that you're portrayed in higher academia?
How are you portrayed online?
Predatory, toxic.
Women would rather choose the bear than a man.
You're dangerous.
Misogynistic.
In cells.
Nobody ever wants to listen to you or address your concerns.
They want to tell you that everything that's wrong in your life is absolutely your fault.
Coincidentally, not only is everything that is wrong in your life your fault, but as an added bonus, everything that is wrong in women's life is also your fault, you misogynistic bastard.
So things wrong in your life, 100% your fault.
Things wrong in women's life, 100% your fault.
Shut up and take your blows, you pathetic whipping boy.
Ooh, a quick question.
When you have diversity initiatives, which is, of course, anti-male in its essence, how do you feel when you're trying to get a job in academia or in some sort of corporate job or, you know, just about anywhere?
Well, does it feel a tad exclusionary?
Does it feel like there's a bunch of tight-lipped, beehive-haired Karens in HR saying, oh, John Smith from Rhode Island, into the shredder you go?
That's not great.
How do you feel as a young man or as a man as a whole about ye old institution of family courts?
Is that working out for you?
Hey, quick question.
Did it work out for your dads?
Did it work out for my dad?
My dad had to flee the family courts to Africa.
To Africa.
I'm not trying to play hard done by here, but I have seen this pretty direct.
Fathers, mothers are awarded primary custody in 80% of U.S. divorce cases, and accusations of abuse in divorces from females to males is rampant.
It's so common that's its own acronym, S-A-I-D, for sexual abuse allegations in divorce.
And it is brutal if you've ever known anybody to go through this as a whole.
And the tax system, how's that working as a whole?
Women take out, depending on how you measure it, from soup to nuts, from birth to death, women take out about twice what they pay in taxes.
In many situations and circumstances, men get out about half what they pay in taxes.
So the modern tax and redistribution system is repeatedly punching men in the nads and rewarding women for the amazing act of continuing to draw breath.
Women get benefits in university.
Women get benefits in the workplace.
This doesn't even count the artificially inflated women's wages in the workplace.
Women get benefit in free healthcare because men don't use healthcare nearly as much as women.
And of course, women live longer, which means old age pensions go more to women than to men.
Subsidized daycare is used far more.
And the welfare state, which is basically the single mother state, is vastly used by women and paid for by men.
Which, of course, when men are forced to pay for people's bad decisions, men lose, and women too who pay for those bad decisions lose any capacity whatsoever to police bad decisions.
See, interesting factoid about pretty much the entirety of human history up until the 1960s, if people made bad decisions, they suffered negative consequences.
I know, I know, like for the young people here, this is incomprehensible.
I might as well be speaking in a combination of Swahili, some Urdu-clicking language, and Klingon.
But in the past, if people made bad decisions, they actually suffered the consequences.
You know, the way that you did when you were, say, eight years old.
Oh, man, I forgot about this test.
I forgot about the spelling test.
Oh, that's too bad.
You fail.
Oh, I forgot about the math test.
Well, you fail.
See, six, seven, eight-year-old kids, particularly boys, if you make a bad decision or you just forget something, you suffer.
You fail.
You might get punished.
You get lines.
Maybe you held back a year and become the hunched kid in the back who's got to shave the back of his fingers in grade six.
Now.
But you see, accountability in the modern world, see, that's only for children.
Children should be held accountable and men should be accountable not just for their own bad decisions, but for everybody and their dog's bad decisions.
But women, no, no, no, no.
We can't let the poor little deers themselves be held accountable.
