  1. 0:00Women are capable of many things, but
  2. 0:02voting well doesn't seem to be one of
  3. 0:04them. In their defense, men don't vote
  4. 0:06that well either, but they're still
  5. 0:07considerably better on average.
  6. 0:10In this video, we go over the political
  7. 0:12gender gap, the causes behind it, and
  8. 0:14some ancient wisdom to give an honest
  9. 0:16review of women's suffrage. And if you

  11. 0:20the channel.
  12. 0:21First, let's get some basic things out
  13. 0:23the way. Contrary to propaganda, we do
  14. 0:25not live in a patriarchy. Collectively,
  15. 0:28women have more power in the West than
  16. 0:30men do. We live in democracies where
  17. 0:32everyone can vote, and women both
  18. 0:34outnumber men and have a higher voter
  19. 0:37turnout. If women voted as one united
  20. 0:40block, they'd win every election.
  21. 0:43Secondly, women control education
  22. 0:45through sheer numbers. And as anyone of
  23. 0:48my generation can attest, will often
  24. 0:50force their politics down children's
  25. 0:52throats.
  26. 0:53Thirdly, women control the professional
  27. 0:55environment through HR, again through
  28. 0:57numbers. To the point where we've even
  29. 0:59had cases of HR ladies on social media
  30. 1:02openly saying that if you post
  31. 1:04right-wing content, they won't hire you,
  32. 1:06and they will ruin your reputation with
  33. 1:08other companies. And lastly, the
  34. 1:11consistent pro-woman bias in family
  35. 1:13court have given them asymmetric
  36. 1:15leverage in marriages.
  37. 1:17The only power men still have in our
  38. 1:20societies are reactive. They have the
  39. 1:22power to use force for obvious reasons,
  40. 1:25which they simply don't nowadays, and
  41. 1:27they have productivity. Because despite
  42. 1:30of all the efforts we went through to
  43. 1:31get women into the workforce, they have
  44. 1:33not occupied the essential jobs that
  45. 1:35keep society running. And I doubt the
  46. 1:38endless Zoom meetings would be missed.
  47. 1:40So, men could theoretically go on
  48. 1:42strike, refuse to maintain essential
  49. 1:43services, and force change. But as long
  50. 1:46as the status quo remains, women
  51. 1:48collectively are in charge.
  52. 1:51So, what have they done of all this
  53. 1:52power?
  54. 1:53The Greek playwright Aristophanes,
  55. 1:55referred to as the father of comedy,
  56. 1:57wrote a play 2,400 years ago where he
  57. 2:00predicted the outcomes of what would
  58. 2:02happen if women took control of
  59. 2:03politics, called The Assembly of Women.
  60. 2:06His predictions included massive welfare
  61. 2:08expansion and equity focus, enabling
  62. 2:11free riding and draining the treasury,
  63. 2:13hostility to private property and
  64. 2:15private relationships, erosion of the
  65. 2:17family unit of the state as a substitute
  66. 2:20provider, weakened commitment, chaotic
  67. 2:22dating markets, and ironically fears of
  68. 2:25female competition, as well as the
  69. 2:27punishing of masculine traits leading to
  70. 2:29more effeminate men.
  71. 2:31Aristophanes was eerily prescient, with
  72. 2:33modern voting data showing women, on
  73. 2:36average, strongly backing the patterns
  74. 2:38he warned about. An eight-to-15-point
  75. 2:41swing over men in favor of increasing
  76. 2:43welfare beyond its already extensive
  77. 2:45size, a 20-point swing in favor over men
  78. 2:48in support of increased gun control, and
  79. 2:50as much as a 15-point swing over men in
  80. 2:52favor of mass immigration. And perhaps
  81. 2:55something not even Aristophanes would
  82. 2:57have predicted, 56%
  83. 2:59in favor of killing their own unborn
  84. 3:01kids for any reason. A 15-point gap
  85. 3:05compared to men. Looking at the
  86. 3:07downstream social effect, declining
  87. 3:09families, rising spending, polarization,
  88. 3:12Assembly of Women feels less like satire
  89. 3:14and more like a warning. There are two
  90. 3:17clear patterns here. Firstly, many women
  91. 3:20are clearly voting to use the state as a
  92. 3:23substitute husband. Instead of men
  93. 3:25protecting and providing for their
  94. 3:26families, the state does it. But the
  95. 3:29irony is the state can only provide for
  96. 3:31them by taking resources from men. After
  97. 3:35all, the state itself does not produce
  98. 3:37anything. In essence, this is a form of
  99. 3:39forced disenfranchisement against men.
  100. 3:42Men's naturally advantaged ability to
  101. 3:44protect and provide was once leveraged
  102. 3:46for them in the dating market. Leverage
  103. 3:49they could use to get a higher quality
  104. 3:51spouse. But by these being forcefully
  105. 3:53taken from them and given for free to
  106. 3:55women, men's value and agency have been
  107. 3:58vastly reduced. One of the only things
  108. 4:00nowadays that men get to keep entirely
  109. 4:02for themselves is their own physical
  110. 4:05attractiveness. Historically, physical
  111. 4:07attractiveness is a trait women would
  112. 4:09use for more leverage in the dating
  113. 4:11market. But, since that's all that men
  114. 4:13have left for themselves, it explains
  115. 4:15the recent trend of men becoming so
  116. 4:17obsessed with their appearance and, as a
  117. 4:19result, becoming more effeminate. People
  118. 4:21blame dating apps and social media for
  119. 4:24the extreme focus on male appearance,
  120. 4:26but the fact that so many other aspects
  121. 4:28of masculinity have been forcefully
  122. 4:30substituted by the state seems like the
  123. 4:32greater cause. Since men are now less
  124. 4:34incentivized to acquire the necessary
  125. 4:37masculine skills to protect and provide,
  126. 4:39they'll do so less and focus instead on
  127. 4:42more rewarding feminine traits. And as
  128. 4:44such, the state will have less and less
  129. 4:46masculinity to draw on, ultimately
  130. 4:48leading to less provision and protection
  131. 4:51for society over time, as we're already
  132. 4:54seeing. There is some nuance though,
  133. 4:56because while women generally have been
  134. 4:58treating the state as a substitute
  135. 4:59husband, there are certain groups of
  136. 5:01women who will absolutely not vote this
  137. 5:03way. And in fact, despise this behavior.
  138. 5:06That is, women who themselves have
  139. 5:09long-lasting successful relationships
  140. 5:11with men. This is intuitive. The less
  141. 5:13successful a woman is in establishing a
  142. 5:16strong private relationship with a man,
  143. 5:18the more likely she is to try to use the
  144. 5:20state to redistribute masculinity
  145. 5:22towards her. Meanwhile, if a woman is
  146. 5:25successful in that pursuit, the less
  147. 5:27likely she is to want to share her man.
  148. 5:29This is effectively the libertarian
  149. 5:31versus welfare debate, except proxy-ed
  150. 5:34through relationships. As such,
  151. 5:37societies that encourage promiscuity,
  152. 5:39polygamy, and non-commitment are
  153. 5:41effectively a form of socialism for
  154. 5:43undesirable women. As men and women
  155. 5:46continue to drift apart and fail to
  156. 5:48establish long-standing relationships,
  157. 5:50the more appealing this form of
  158. 5:52socialism becomes for them. This again
  159. 5:54mirrors Aristophanes' prediction, where
  160. 5:57in the play the assembly women forced
  161. 5:59men's attention to be shared with less
  162. 6:01desirable women. The second pattern of
  163. 6:03female voting is supporting whatever the
  164. 6:05current thing is. I gave you the stats
  165. 6:08about modern-day voting issues, where
  166. 6:10you see women giving significantly more
  167. 6:12support to liberal mainstream ideology.
  168. 6:15That we've all been taught in school.
  169. 6:17But, if we rewind the clock some decades
  170. 6:19back to when mainstream institutions
  171. 6:21were conservative, you'd see women being
  172. 6:23more conservative than men.
  173. 6:25Why? Because it was the current thing.
  174. 6:28Women are, on average, more agreeable
  175. 6:31than men. A consequence of agreeableness
  176. 6:34is the fear of going against the
  177. 6:35perceived consensus. As such, women
  178. 6:38operate less as independent voters, but
  179. 6:41rather as parrots of institutions. If
  180. 6:44the dominant institutions are
  181. 6:45conservative, women will broadly be
  182. 6:48conservative. If they're liberal, women
  183. 6:50will broadly be liberal. Naturally,
  184. 6:52parroting the dominant opinion is not
  185. 6:54helpful in politics and actually
  186. 6:56reinforces political entrenchment,
  187. 6:59facilitating corruption, lack of
  188. 7:01scrutiny, and dogmatism. A deeper issue
  189. 7:04of suffrage is its effect on the family
  190. 7:06unit. In healthy societies with strong
  191. 7:09families, husbands and wives are
  192. 7:11aligned. They'll vote the same, making
  193. 7:13the extra votes redundant. However, now
  194. 7:16you have the political incentive to
  195. 7:18appeal not to families, but to
  196. 7:21individuals.
  197. 7:22And if your platform is generally more
  198. 7:24appealing to women, especially single
  199. 7:26women, but not to men, you are now
  200. 7:28incentivized to push policies that
  201. 7:30sabotage or delay family formation. Or
  202. 7:33to get wives to vote against their
  203. 7:35husbands, which causes marital rift and
  204. 7:37has happened in recent campaigns. After
  205. 7:39all, as we've established, generally
  206. 7:41women in successful marriages will not
  207. 7:44vote for the state as a substitute
  208. 7:46husband, thus diminishing your power.
  209. 7:48This means that at best, women's
  210. 7:50suffrage is largely redundant, and at
  211. 7:52worst, it politically incentivizes the
  212. 7:54subversion of the family, and therefore,
  213. 7:57the future of your nation.
  214. 7:59Additionally, this is a weakness that's
  215. 8:01unique to women's suffrage. As while you
  216. 8:03can somewhat use the state as a
  217. 8:04substitute husband for the roles of
  218. 8:06protector and provider, the state is
  219. 8:09incapable of providing men with what
  220. 8:11they'd want from a wife. The market, on
  221. 8:13the other hand, fully exploits single
  222. 8:15men. But that's a topic for another day.
  223. 8:18So, here's my honest review of women's
  224. 8:20suffrage. We're now in a situation where
  225. 8:22family formation is at an all-time low,
  226. 8:25reckless government spending at an
  227. 8:26all-time high, men and women are
  228. 8:28lonelier and more depressed than ever,
  229. 8:30dominant political institutions are more
  230. 8:32entrenched than ever, and every single
  231. 8:34policy that led to these outcomes are
  232. 8:36consistently upheld by the female vote.
  233. 8:39In a way so predictable, the ancient
  234. 8:41Greeks were laughing at us over 2,000
  235. 8:43years ago. Zero out of 10 would not
  236. 8:46recommend opening the door for total
  237. 8:48societal collapse again.
