An Honest Review of Women's Suffrage — Transcript
Full transcript
- 0:00Women are capable of many things, but
- 0:02voting well doesn't seem to be one of
- 0:04them. In their defense, men don't vote
- 0:06that well either, but they're still
- 0:07considerably better on average.
- 0:10In this video, we go over the political
- 0:12gender gap, the causes behind it, and
- 0:14some ancient wisdom to give an honest
- 0:16review of women's suffrage. And if you
- 0:18enjoyed, consider subscribing. It helps
- 0:20the channel.
- 0:21First, let's get some basic things out
- 0:23the way. Contrary to propaganda, we do
- 0:25not live in a patriarchy. Collectively,
- 0:28women have more power in the West than
- 0:30men do. We live in democracies where
- 0:32everyone can vote, and women both
- 0:34outnumber men and have a higher voter
- 0:37turnout. If women voted as one united
- 0:40block, they'd win every election.
- 0:43Secondly, women control education
- 0:45through sheer numbers. And as anyone of
- 0:48my generation can attest, will often
- 0:50force their politics down children's
- 0:52throats.
- 0:53Thirdly, women control the professional
- 0:55environment through HR, again through
- 0:57numbers. To the point where we've even
- 0:59had cases of HR ladies on social media
- 1:02openly saying that if you post
- 1:04right-wing content, they won't hire you,
- 1:06and they will ruin your reputation with
- 1:08other companies. And lastly, the
- 1:11consistent pro-woman bias in family
- 1:13court have given them asymmetric
- 1:15leverage in marriages.
- 1:17The only power men still have in our
- 1:20societies are reactive. They have the
- 1:22power to use force for obvious reasons,
- 1:25which they simply don't nowadays, and
- 1:27they have productivity. Because despite
- 1:30of all the efforts we went through to
- 1:31get women into the workforce, they have
- 1:33not occupied the essential jobs that
- 1:35keep society running. And I doubt the
- 1:38endless Zoom meetings would be missed.
- 1:40So, men could theoretically go on
- 1:42strike, refuse to maintain essential
- 1:43services, and force change. But as long
- 1:46as the status quo remains, women
- 1:48collectively are in charge.
- 1:51So, what have they done of all this
- 1:52power?
- 1:53The Greek playwright Aristophanes,
- 1:55referred to as the father of comedy,
- 1:57wrote a play 2,400 years ago where he
- 2:00predicted the outcomes of what would
- 2:02happen if women took control of
- 2:03politics, called The Assembly of Women.
- 2:06His predictions included massive welfare
- 2:08expansion and equity focus, enabling
- 2:11free riding and draining the treasury,
- 2:13hostility to private property and
- 2:15private relationships, erosion of the
- 2:17family unit of the state as a substitute
- 2:20provider, weakened commitment, chaotic
- 2:22dating markets, and ironically fears of
- 2:25female competition, as well as the
- 2:27punishing of masculine traits leading to
- 2:29more effeminate men.
- 2:31Aristophanes was eerily prescient, with
- 2:33modern voting data showing women, on
- 2:36average, strongly backing the patterns
- 2:38he warned about. An eight-to-15-point
- 2:41swing over men in favor of increasing
- 2:43welfare beyond its already extensive
- 2:45size, a 20-point swing in favor over men
- 2:48in support of increased gun control, and
- 2:50as much as a 15-point swing over men in
- 2:52favor of mass immigration. And perhaps
- 2:55something not even Aristophanes would
- 2:57have predicted, 56%
- 2:59in favor of killing their own unborn
- 3:01kids for any reason. A 15-point gap
- 3:05compared to men. Looking at the
- 3:07downstream social effect, declining
- 3:09families, rising spending, polarization,
- 3:12Assembly of Women feels less like satire
- 3:14and more like a warning. There are two
- 3:17clear patterns here. Firstly, many women
- 3:20are clearly voting to use the state as a
- 3:23substitute husband. Instead of men
- 3:25protecting and providing for their
- 3:26families, the state does it. But the
- 3:29irony is the state can only provide for
- 3:31them by taking resources from men. After
- 3:35all, the state itself does not produce
- 3:37anything. In essence, this is a form of
- 3:39forced disenfranchisement against men.
- 3:42Men's naturally advantaged ability to
- 3:44protect and provide was once leveraged
- 3:46for them in the dating market. Leverage
- 3:49they could use to get a higher quality
- 3:51spouse. But by these being forcefully
- 3:53taken from them and given for free to
- 3:55women, men's value and agency have been
- 3:58vastly reduced. One of the only things
- 4:00nowadays that men get to keep entirely
- 4:02for themselves is their own physical
- 4:05attractiveness. Historically, physical
- 4:07attractiveness is a trait women would
- 4:09use for more leverage in the dating
- 4:11market. But, since that's all that men
- 4:13have left for themselves, it explains
- 4:15the recent trend of men becoming so
- 4:17obsessed with their appearance and, as a
- 4:19result, becoming more effeminate. People
- 4:21blame dating apps and social media for
- 4:24the extreme focus on male appearance,
- 4:26but the fact that so many other aspects
- 4:28of masculinity have been forcefully
- 4:30substituted by the state seems like the
- 4:32greater cause. Since men are now less
- 4:34incentivized to acquire the necessary
- 4:37masculine skills to protect and provide,
- 4:39they'll do so less and focus instead on
- 4:42more rewarding feminine traits. And as
- 4:44such, the state will have less and less
- 4:46masculinity to draw on, ultimately
- 4:48leading to less provision and protection
- 4:51for society over time, as we're already
- 4:54seeing. There is some nuance though,
- 4:56because while women generally have been
- 4:58treating the state as a substitute
- 4:59husband, there are certain groups of
- 5:01women who will absolutely not vote this
- 5:03way. And in fact, despise this behavior.
- 5:06That is, women who themselves have
- 5:09long-lasting successful relationships
- 5:11with men. This is intuitive. The less
- 5:13successful a woman is in establishing a
- 5:16strong private relationship with a man,
- 5:18the more likely she is to try to use the
- 5:20state to redistribute masculinity
- 5:22towards her. Meanwhile, if a woman is
- 5:25successful in that pursuit, the less
- 5:27likely she is to want to share her man.
- 5:29This is effectively the libertarian
- 5:31versus welfare debate, except proxy-ed
- 5:34through relationships. As such,
- 5:37societies that encourage promiscuity,
- 5:39polygamy, and non-commitment are
- 5:41effectively a form of socialism for
- 5:43undesirable women. As men and women
- 5:46continue to drift apart and fail to
- 5:48establish long-standing relationships,
- 5:50the more appealing this form of
- 5:52socialism becomes for them. This again
- 5:54mirrors Aristophanes' prediction, where
- 5:57in the play the assembly women forced
- 5:59men's attention to be shared with less
- 6:01desirable women. The second pattern of
- 6:03female voting is supporting whatever the
- 6:05current thing is. I gave you the stats
- 6:08about modern-day voting issues, where
- 6:10you see women giving significantly more
- 6:12support to liberal mainstream ideology.
- 6:15That we've all been taught in school.
- 6:17But, if we rewind the clock some decades
- 6:19back to when mainstream institutions
- 6:21were conservative, you'd see women being
- 6:23more conservative than men.
- 6:25Why? Because it was the current thing.
- 6:28Women are, on average, more agreeable
- 6:31than men. A consequence of agreeableness
- 6:34is the fear of going against the
- 6:35perceived consensus. As such, women
- 6:38operate less as independent voters, but
- 6:41rather as parrots of institutions. If
- 6:44the dominant institutions are
- 6:45conservative, women will broadly be
- 6:48conservative. If they're liberal, women
- 6:50will broadly be liberal. Naturally,
- 6:52parroting the dominant opinion is not
- 6:54helpful in politics and actually
- 6:56reinforces political entrenchment,
- 6:59facilitating corruption, lack of
- 7:01scrutiny, and dogmatism. A deeper issue
- 7:04of suffrage is its effect on the family
- 7:06unit. In healthy societies with strong
- 7:09families, husbands and wives are
- 7:11aligned. They'll vote the same, making
- 7:13the extra votes redundant. However, now
- 7:16you have the political incentive to
- 7:18appeal not to families, but to
- 7:21individuals.
- 7:22And if your platform is generally more
- 7:24appealing to women, especially single
- 7:26women, but not to men, you are now
- 7:28incentivized to push policies that
- 7:30sabotage or delay family formation. Or
- 7:33to get wives to vote against their
- 7:35husbands, which causes marital rift and
- 7:37has happened in recent campaigns. After
- 7:39all, as we've established, generally
- 7:41women in successful marriages will not
- 7:44vote for the state as a substitute
- 7:46husband, thus diminishing your power.
- 7:48This means that at best, women's
- 7:50suffrage is largely redundant, and at
- 7:52worst, it politically incentivizes the
- 7:54subversion of the family, and therefore,
- 7:57the future of your nation.
- 7:59Additionally, this is a weakness that's
- 8:01unique to women's suffrage. As while you
- 8:03can somewhat use the state as a
- 8:04substitute husband for the roles of
- 8:06protector and provider, the state is
- 8:09incapable of providing men with what
- 8:11they'd want from a wife. The market, on
- 8:13the other hand, fully exploits single
- 8:15men. But that's a topic for another day.
- 8:18So, here's my honest review of women's
- 8:20suffrage. We're now in a situation where
- 8:22family formation is at an all-time low,
- 8:25reckless government spending at an
- 8:26all-time high, men and women are
- 8:28lonelier and more depressed than ever,
- 8:30dominant political institutions are more
- 8:32entrenched than ever, and every single
- 8:34policy that led to these outcomes are
- 8:36consistently upheld by the female vote.
- 8:39In a way so predictable, the ancient
- 8:41Greeks were laughing at us over 2,000
- 8:43years ago. Zero out of 10 would not
- 8:46recommend opening the door for total
- 8:48societal collapse again.
