  1. 0:0063% of males in the United States are
  2. 0:02single in comparison to 34% of their
  3. 0:05female counterparts men only have a 2.5%
  4. 0:08chance of finding a match that's one
  5. 0:10match per 40 swipes on average on online
  6. 0:13dating apps whereas women match 50% of
  7. 0:16the time one match per two swipes on
  8. 0:18average but the dismissal of men doesn't
  9. 0:20stop there 90% of jobs requiring hard
  10. 0:23manual labor are held by men men make up
  11. 0:25around 84% of active duty military
  12. 0:28personnel in the United States but that
  13. 0:30doesn't specify combat arms roles you
  14. 0:32know the ones who actually risk their
  15. 0:34lives over 95% of combat arms roles are
  16. 0:38filled by men and in Special Ops well
  17. 0:40women are nowhere to be found and to dig
  18. 0:42the knife even further 79% of suicides
  19. 0:45in the United States are committed by
  20. 0:47men despite their efforts to provide and
  21. 0:49protect women and children they are left
  22. 0:51hung out to dry when 70% of divorces are
  23. 0:54initiated by women in part one of why
  24. 0:56are 63% of men single I got over 1,500
  25. 1:00comments from Angry hurting and wounded
  26. 1:02men who are fed up with these statistics
  27. 1:04and many others that I just laid out for
  28. 1:06you but before I get into this video I
  29. 1:08do want to provide a disclaimer if you
  30. 1:10can't watch this video with an open mind
  31. 1:12then this will likely be a waste of your
  32. 1:14time so if that's you click off now but
  33. 1:16if you choose to watch this video you'll
  34. 1:18start to understand the other side of
  35. 1:20this coin which is how women are
  36. 1:22contributing to this epidemic and more
  37. 1:24importantly how it's harming them more
  38. 1:27than they realize as always leave your
  39. 1:30intelligent comments below sprinkle
  40. 1:32sprinkle [ __ ] let's get into it and
  41. 1:33this brings me to my first point social
  42. 1:36media the ability to Garner Mass
  43. 1:37attention through social media is not
  44. 1:39news yet women seem to be able to do
  45. 1:41this at a much larger scale and these
  46. 1:44results boost their ego as they continue
  47. 1:46to gain this attention and traction but
  48. 1:48the attention they get especially from
  49. 1:50men aren't necessarily men that they'd
  50. 1:52ever give the time of day to yet they
  51. 1:54continue to do it and promote further
  52. 1:56engagement why when we look at behaviors
  53. 1:58on social media we do see differences
  54. 2:00between men and women how they post and
  55. 2:02how they interact and women on average
  56. 2:04spend much more time on social media and
  57. 2:06their focus is typically on connections
  58. 2:08and communication men on the other hand
  59. 2:10tend to yes use social media platforms
  60. 2:12for their own entertainment but mostly
  61. 2:15As far as the research shows for
  62. 2:16information and the research also shows
  63. 2:18that women tend to gain both a larger
  64. 2:21following and further engagement than
  65. 2:23men typically do specifically on visual
  66. 2:25platforms like Instagram and Tik Tok and
  67. 2:27this makes sense if you took 5 Seconds
  68. 2:29to scroll any of these social media
  69. 2:30platforms and because they tend to
  70. 2:32Garner bigger audiences relative to
  71. 2:34Beauty Lifestyle Fitness Etc it also
  72. 2:37tends to amplify their voices and their
  73. 2:39messages which I'll get to in a little
  74. 2:41bit and while we can talk about the
  75. 2:42niches and the topics of conversation I
  76. 2:44also don't want to skimp over the fact
  77. 2:47that there's typically lots of Skin
  78. 2:49showing and this tends to Garner further
  79. 2:51traction and growth which only
  80. 2:53reemphasizes the point that in order for
  81. 2:55women to get noticed well their beauty
  82. 2:58and their physical assets are the the
  83. 2:59most important thing on top of this
  84. 3:01research doeses show that women tend to
  85. 3:03Garner a bigger following through
  86. 3:04sharing stories and emotional connection
  87. 3:06and we also know from a psychological
  88. 3:08lens that women tend to gossip much more
  89. 3:11than men do and social media tends to
  90. 3:13promote well drama so the math maths
  91. 3:17here now I don't want to paint this
  92. 3:18picture that men can't be successful on
  93. 3:20social media platforms because the
  94. 3:21evidence would also be contrary to that
  95. 3:23but as far as in comparison to women do
  96. 3:26tend to outperform men again
  97. 3:27specifically on these visual platforms
  98. 3:30so why am I hitting on this well
  99. 3:31relative to my last video with 1500 plus
  100. 3:34comments around the toxicity of women
  101. 3:36social media and the amplification of
  102. 3:38their voice and also how they Garner
  103. 3:40audiences plays a role in this Dynamic
  104. 3:42playing itself out with the discrepancy
  105. 3:44in followers and engagement this can
  106. 3:47fuel toxic feminism or feminist ideals
  107. 3:50and this can contribute over time to
  108. 3:51further animosity towards men now the
  109. 3:54interesting thing about social media and
  110. 3:55its parts is that women tend to gain
  111. 3:58traction by being visually appe ing only
  112. 4:00to then be upset when men pay attention
  113. 4:03to how physically appealing they are but
  114. 4:05the reinforcement of positive feedback
  115. 4:07around gaining followers engagement
  116. 4:09comments whatever it might be only
  117. 4:11reinforces women to continue to behave
  118. 4:13in this way publicly and this can
  119. 4:15inadvertently promote the idea that a
  120. 4:17woman's value lies in her Aesthetics or
  121. 4:19her social appeal and this can reinforce
  122. 4:22the narrative as we've seen many many
  123. 4:24times that women are all well
  124. 4:27promiscuous while men can be excluded or
  125. 4:30marginalized in these spaces the hard
  126. 4:32part about this or the female argument
  127. 4:34to this type of behavior is that it is
  128. 4:37somehow empowering or at least that's
  129. 4:39what we tell ourselves while from a
  130. 4:41man's perspective while they enjoy women
  131. 4:43being a little bit more loose online
  132. 4:45they also tend to associate that with a
  133. 4:47lower quality female now what's
  134. 4:50important to note around this entire
  135. 4:51Concept in attraction relationships
  136. 4:54whatever it is women tend to set the
  137. 4:56standard for sexual intimacy which is a
  138. 4:58really important point and I will get to
  139. 5:00that later in this video now toxic
  140. 5:02feminism can and has emerged when women
  141. 5:04perceive their higher success on these
  142. 5:06platforms as a form of empowerment that
  143. 5:09positions men as less relevant or
  144. 5:11inherently problematic and this feeds
  145. 5:13into the negative stereotype of men's
  146. 5:15role in society pair that with a
  147. 5:17feedback loop of monetary payouts and
  148. 5:19you can reinforce this Behavior even at
  149. 5:22the expense of one's self-respect and
  150. 5:24selfworth it's also important to note as
  151. 5:26I alluded to earlier that social media
  152. 5:27platforms tend to reward izing content
  153. 5:30and this can lead to the amplification
  154. 5:32of much more radical concepts and
  155. 5:34extremist feminist voices which tends to
  156. 5:37portray men as inherently oppressive or
  157. 5:39completely responsible for any type of
  158. 5:41systemic inequality and while these
  159. 5:43perspectives tend to gain significant
  160. 5:45engagement it can also encourage The
  161. 5:47Narrative of complete victimhood when it
  162. 5:48comes to women leading to further
  163. 5:50antagonism towards men and this will
  164. 5:52continue to lead to further hostility
  165. 5:54and division between the genders as we
  166. 5:57can see if you've read my comment
  167. 5:58section and because men tend to
  168. 6:00experience lower engagement on social
  169. 6:01media due to the fact that they simply
  170. 6:03engage with and tend to create different
  171. 6:05types of content whether that be that
  172. 6:07they're less driven or focused on their
  173. 6:09own perception of Aesthetics or looks or
  174. 6:11just less emotionally charged than women
  175. 6:13are which is true it may not perform as
  176. 6:16well and therefore not Garner such a
  177. 6:18radical audience and this can lead to a
  178. 6:20perception that men are completely
  179. 6:21disengaged or irrelevant which can then
  180. 6:23further lead into amplifying feminist
  181. 6:25narratives that men are not important or
  182. 6:27not engaged or don't care and this will
  183. 6:30continue to lead narratives that degrade
  184. 6:31men and well push them to be resentful
  185. 6:34of women and their overall behavior and
  186. 6:36this can compound feelings of inadequacy
  187. 6:38towards men especially if they feel like
  188. 6:39their voices aren't valued and this
  189. 6:41again leads to further polarizing
  190. 6:43domains between the genders now as women
  191. 6:46continue to gain success and traction
  192. 6:48while there's a side effect of
  193. 6:49communities that they engage with as
  194. 6:51well as I touched on Ming toow and red
  195. 6:52pill in the last video I do want to make
  196. 6:54sure that I address the fact that there
  197. 6:56are female communities which tend to
  198. 6:59lead to missandry towards men and this
  199. 7:01can oversimplify the gender Dynamics and
  200. 7:03create US versus them mentalities now
  201. 7:06what happens when men speak up
  202. 7:07especially relative to the differences
  203. 7:09between men and women in their success
  204. 7:10or engagement on social media platforms
  205. 7:12is that men are then contributing to a
  206. 7:14problem or they feel intimidated by
  207. 7:16women when they're just acknowledging a
  208. 7:18difference in success and one thing we
  209. 7:20know about social media and building
  210. 7:22audiences is that often times you can
  211. 7:25kind of sound an alarm that may or may
  212. 7:27not be real and I don't just mean this
  213. 7:29in social media but I don't want to get
  214. 7:31into actual CNN Fox News and all the
  215. 7:33other platforms that shove [ __ ] down
  216. 7:35your throat that may not actually be
  217. 7:37based in reality but to this degree the
  218. 7:39more that there's no barrier to entry
  219. 7:41and anybody can come online and say
  220. 7:42anything well we can start to create
  221. 7:44narratives that have some truth but take
  222. 7:46it to the extreme and this is where
  223. 7:48women tend to hyper fixate on gender
  224. 7:50inequalities the pay gaps oppression the
  225. 7:53patriarchy you name it it's been said
  226. 7:55many many times and this can then turn
  227. 7:57into a blame game where women blame all
  228. 8:00men for every problem and treat them as
  229. 8:03if they're responsible and this leads to
  230. 8:04rhetoric that completely demonizes men
  231. 8:06rather than addressing the actual causes
  232. 8:08of some of these things specifically
  233. 8:11when we look at them oriented towards
  234. 8:12equal outcome and when followers engage
  235. 8:14with and promote this type of content it
  236. 8:16normalizes missandry escalating the
  237. 8:18tension between the genders and
  238. 8:20completely removes the underlying
  239. 8:22reasons as to why some of these outcomes
  240. 8:24are things that we witness which again
  241. 8:26I'll get to in a little bit but overall
  242. 8:27this puts a lot of pressure on men to
  243. 8:29conform to be a certain way changing
  244. 8:31their standards submitting to women or
  245. 8:34making their masculinity toxic or
  246. 8:36outdated and this can lead to reactions
  247. 8:38such as retreating to male-dominated
  248. 8:40spaces as I mentioned in my last video
  249. 8:43and this is where especially if life
  250. 8:44circumstances led men to engage with
  251. 8:46women who were very toxic that their
  252. 8:48perception can be a bit jaded towards
  253. 8:50well what does a modern woman want and
  254. 8:53is she even worth it and this is just
  255. 8:54the first point we're going to be here a
  256. 8:56while so grab a drink get comfortable
  257. 8:59we've got a lot to talk about and this
  258. 9:00brings me to my next Point dating apps
  259. 9:03as I alluded to earlier 75% of users
  260. 9:06specifically in research oriented
  261. 9:07towards Tinder are men but the amount of
  262. 9:10swiping that men have to go through and
  263. 9:12reflective of the algorithm and what it
  264. 9:14tends to promote a lot of men well they
  265. 9:16get overlooked whereas women on the
  266. 9:18other hand have a 50% chance of finding
  267. 9:21success in a match meaning I could swipe
  268. 9:23twice and find somebody that would match
  269. 9:25with me whereas a man might have to
  270. 9:26swipe 40 times and maybe will get one
  271. 9:29match and this allows women to be much
  272. 9:31more selective while men tend to
  273. 9:34experience further rejection and this
  274. 9:35will lead to further feelings of
  275. 9:37inadequacy neglect and frustration for
  276. 9:40many men especially those that are not
  277. 9:42deemed conventionally attractive this
  278. 9:44entire experience can feel like an
  279. 9:45uphill battle and because dating apps
  280. 9:47emphasize visual attraction and Men
  281. 9:50often face rejection solely based on
  282. 9:52their appearance men who may excel in
  283. 9:54other areas or have just better overall
  284. 9:56character traits or qualities tend to
  285. 9:58get overlooked
  286. 9:59in favor of more visually appealing
  287. 10:01profiles which leads to a sense of
  288. 10:03devaluation or pressure to conform to a
  289. 10:05certain standard of high value man and
  290. 10:08we also have to note that algorithms on
  291. 10:11each of these dating apps varies a bit
  292. 10:13differently and those who tend to
  293. 10:14receive more engagement also tend to get
  294. 10:17promoted a little bit more often and
  295. 10:19this disproportionately benefits the
  296. 10:20more attractive people while leaving the
  297. 10:22majority of men struggling for
  298. 10:24visibility on top of all of this any
  299. 10:27type of dating online value vales
  300. 10:29Aesthetics over all of the things that
  301. 10:31actually make a relationship work and
  302. 10:32this leads to shallow and surface level
  303. 10:34interactions between the genders and
  304. 10:36themselves men being more valued for
  305. 10:38their status and women being more valued
  306. 10:40for their sexual appeal and this will
  307. 10:42Foster a sense of transactional
  308. 10:44relationships and reduce the opportunity
  309. 10:46to build actually deep and meaningful
  310. 10:48Connections in my last video I talked
  311. 10:50about the negative impacts of rejection
  312. 10:52on men's mental health so I won't dive
  313. 10:54back into that here but just know men's
  314. 10:57sense of rejection in the way that
  315. 10:58impacts their s steam is really
  316. 11:00important highly valuable and a
  317. 11:03consequence to how all of this social
  318. 11:05and cultural pressure in the domain of
  319. 11:08feminism and social media dating apps
  320. 11:11all contributes to the experiences that
  321. 11:13men are having and the reason why many
  322. 11:15of them are self- selecting and choosing
  323. 11:17to stay single where social media and
  324. 11:19dating apps can completely polarize
  325. 11:21gender Dynamics with a very small
  326. 11:24percentage of high status men getting a
  327. 11:26lot of attention while many men feel
  328. 11:28completely visible now one important
  329. 11:30thing to note here is the Paradox of
  330. 11:32choice and both men and women can
  331. 11:35experience this phenomenon but this is
  332. 11:37where having too many options can lead
  333. 11:38to complete dissatisfaction women who
  334. 11:40tend to have way more matches also tend
  335. 11:42to struggle with making a commitment to
  336. 11:44one person because there's always
  337. 11:46someone or something better lurking
  338. 11:48right around the corner and Men on the
  339. 11:49other side of the coin might feel
  340. 11:51completely disheartened by a lack of
  341. 11:52options or being repeatedly passed over
  342. 11:55now I did allude to earlier that women
  343. 11:57tend to set the standard for men
  344. 11:59regarding sex and the cultural shift
  345. 12:02towards dating apps and service level
  346. 12:04hookups makes casual sex more accessible
  347. 12:07and prevalent to both genders for men
  348. 12:09this tends to amplify short-term dating
  349. 12:12approaches over long-term commitments
  350. 12:14and women tend to lie to themselves
  351. 12:16telling themselves that they're just
  352. 12:17like men and can do this in the same
  353. 12:19fashion however the easier it is to
  354. 12:21access the lower the level of effort
  355. 12:24that men will give and so even if women
  356. 12:26are genuinely SE seeking deeper
  357. 12:28connections they also should align their
  358. 12:30standards and expectations for men that
  359. 12:32they allow themselves to engage with to
  360. 12:34be much higher than they currently are
  361. 12:36which brings me to my next point and
  362. 12:38it's a very important one the concept of
  363. 12:40hypergamy the number of comments in my
  364. 12:42last video discussing hypergamy leads me
  365. 12:44to believe that more than a 10-second
  366. 12:46clip in this video is going to do this
  367. 12:47concept justice so first let's look at
  368. 12:50and understand what this actually means
  369. 12:51hypergamy is the idea that women tend to
  370. 12:54marry up as far as gender Dynamics women
  371. 12:56date up and across and men date across
  372. 12:58and down this could be relevant to
  373. 13:00status IQ material items but perceived
  374. 13:03differences between the Sexes simply put
  375. 13:06we're always looking for something
  376. 13:08better and this is a complex subject and
  377. 13:10it is also rooted in evolutionary
  378. 13:11psychology which is one of my favorite
  379. 13:13domains of psychology to investigate but
  380. 13:15some would argue that this is a cultural
  381. 13:17societal Norm While others say it's just
  382. 13:19gender Dynamics and the mere mention of
  383. 13:21this term can trigger people or spark
  384. 13:23debates while some see this as a natural
  385. 13:25biological Instinct others argue that
  386. 13:27it's a social construct that that's been
  387. 13:29molded by culture and upbringing so
  388. 13:32what's the truth here traditionally this
  389. 13:33concept makes a lot of sense where women
  390. 13:35needed Financial Security in a provider
  391. 13:37in order to make sure that they were
  392. 13:38safe and secure but because nowadays
  393. 13:41with the cultural changes in women's
  394. 13:42rights movements women are able to
  395. 13:44cultivate their own levels of perceived
  396. 13:45Independence which shifts this Dynamic
  397. 13:47on its head in many men as a contrast to
  398. 13:50that currently feel like hypergamy
  399. 13:52creates a lot of unrealistic
  400. 13:53expectations and standards for men many
  401. 13:56men have reported that despite their own
  402. 13:58accomplishments it's just never enough
  403. 14:00and for women as far as their ability to
  404. 14:02create their own wealth or achieve their
  405. 14:04own education and success autonomy and
  406. 14:06Independence the idea of a relationship
  407. 14:08and what it used to bring them has
  408. 14:10somewhat changed and this disconnect
  409. 14:12transparently I believe is leading it to
  410. 14:15a massive disconnect on both sides and
  411. 14:17if I were to bring data into this
  412. 14:18conversation it shows that educated and
  413. 14:20financially successful women are
  414. 14:22struggling to find men which complicates
  415. 14:24the modern dating world for both genders
  416. 14:26it's also important to note that whether
  417. 14:28this is a biological driver or something
  418. 14:31that is culturally imposed either way it
  419. 14:33leads to dissatisfaction one of the most
  420. 14:35important points that I can allude to
  421. 14:37here and yes I do want to be transparent
  422. 14:39this is my own personal opinion women
  423. 14:40don't know what they need they just
  424. 14:42perceive what they want what they're
  425. 14:44supposed to do who they're supposed to
  426. 14:45be with the type of guy that would make
  427. 14:47them valuable enough or worthy enough to
  428. 14:49feel good about who they are and what
  429. 14:52their Worth or value really comes down
  430. 14:54to this is also one of the contrasts
  431. 14:55where women tend to tell themselves that
  432. 14:58they can be just like men now this does
  433. 15:00not mean that women who really do enjoy
  434. 15:02sexual interactions with men are wrong
  435. 15:04but I do not believe that the majority
  436. 15:06of women actually enjoy engaging in that
  437. 15:09at a surface level transaction level
  438. 15:11many men in my comment section will say
  439. 15:13that they just want virgins and if
  440. 15:15you're that guy I will say it might be
  441. 15:17difficult for you to find somebody
  442. 15:18that's above the age of 18 but that does
  443. 15:20not mean that there is not value that
  444. 15:23women should have around their bodies
  445. 15:24around sexual intercourse around giving
  446. 15:26themselves to somebody else it's all
  447. 15:28about what works best for you and I know
  448. 15:29that brings a lot of context and Nuance
  449. 15:31but I really don't like to be degrading
  450. 15:32towards either side do I personally
  451. 15:34align with those types of values no
  452. 15:36however we can see with the fall of
  453. 15:38Faith religion Christianity that well
  454. 15:41we've moved into this sexual Revolution
  455. 15:43and this empowerment of women through
  456. 15:45showing off their bodies and feeling
  457. 15:46empowered by the objectification of that
  458. 15:49especially when we pair that in tandem
  459. 15:51with well their ability to make money
  460. 15:53through things like only fans or
  461. 15:54pornography in my last video I alluded
  462. 15:56to a lot of things around pornography
  463. 15:58and men's and interaction with that but
  464. 16:00I do want to be transparent in the fact
  465. 16:01that well men could not watch women
  466. 16:04having sex with other men if women chose
  467. 16:07not to film themselves doing such an
  468. 16:09activity I do not think it is one side
  469. 16:11or the other which a lot of men and you
  470. 16:13may disagree with me completely on and
  471. 16:15that's okay but to point the finger at
  472. 16:16one gender and say you are the reason
  473. 16:19for this problem like me personally I
  474. 16:22believe that there is a level of
  475. 16:23accountability on both sides and the
  476. 16:25other side of this coin which I'll get
  477. 16:26to in a minute as far as the feminist
  478. 16:28movement and empowerment
  479. 16:29but I do want to allude to the idea that
  480. 16:32none of that would have been possible
  481. 16:33were it not for men which brings me to
  482. 16:35my next point we have to talk about laws
  483. 16:38and divorce specifically and how that
  484. 16:40negatively impacts men divorce laws
  485. 16:42particularly in Western countries have
  486. 16:44evolved to try to address fairness and
  487. 16:46equality but they've also contributed to
  488. 16:48significant disparities in how men and
  489. 16:51women experience divorce and these laws
  490. 16:54have had a profound impact on marriage
  491. 16:55rates divorce rates and the ways in
  492. 16:58which men anden women even engaged in
  493. 16:59the institution of marriage one example
  494. 17:01of how it negatively impacts men is the
  495. 17:03concept of alimony divorce laws often
  496. 17:05require men specifically High earning
  497. 17:07men to pay spousal support or alimony to
  498. 17:10their Ex-Wives and this is based on the
  499. 17:12idea that their ex spouse or ex-wife may
  500. 17:15have sacrificed her career or earning
  501. 17:17potential in general as a consequence to
  502. 17:19being in this partnership particularly
  503. 17:21with the assumption that there's
  504. 17:22children involved or they're maintaining
  505. 17:24the household and while this is meant to
  506. 17:26ensure Financial stability for lower
  507. 17:28income women it can also place a heavy
  508. 17:30financial burden on men especially if
  509. 17:32the marriage was short-lived or if the
  510. 17:34man had minimal input in any of these
  511. 17:36sacrifices when it comes to child
  512. 17:38support and it's not news that divorce
  513. 17:40laws tend to favor women when it comes
  514. 17:41to child custody where mothers often
  515. 17:43receive primary care of their children
  516. 17:46and this results in men not only losing
  517. 17:48regular access to their children but
  518. 17:49also being expected and required to pay
  519. 17:52a significant amount of money in child
  520. 17:54support even in cases where the father
  521. 17:56is an equally capable parent and this
  522. 17:58leads men to feel marginalized with
  523. 18:00limited visitation rights which can be
  524. 18:02emotionally devastating now here I also
  525. 18:05want to allude to something that I
  526. 18:06suggested in the previous video around
  527. 18:08how children need fathers young boys
  528. 18:11specifically for rough and dumo play but
  529. 18:14as a female who grew up without a father
  530. 18:15figure until I got into my late teens I
  531. 18:18can tell you the impact that it had on
  532. 18:20me in not knowing how a man should lead
  533. 18:23or what a true masculine role looked
  534. 18:24like in my life until I got older
  535. 18:26fathers or access to children as a
  536. 18:28parental figure particularly masculine
  537. 18:30figure there's also a ton of research
  538. 18:32around the importance and childhood
  539. 18:34outcomes with fatherless homes versus a
  540. 18:36father being present in the home my
  541. 18:38point being that the role that fathers
  542. 18:40play in child development and
  543. 18:41relationships down the road is
  544. 18:43critically important and I do think that
  545. 18:45the court system judicial system and
  546. 18:47laws Overlook these things regularly now
  547. 18:50divorce laws also look at assets
  548. 18:51specifically property Division and this
  549. 18:53tends to be split evenly between the two
  550. 18:55partners but there's other things
  551. 18:57outside of a home savings assets
  552. 19:00retirement funds Etc even if the man was
  553. 19:03solely responsible for acquiring these
  554. 19:05assets the law often requires them to
  555. 19:07split these with their Ex-Wives now
  556. 19:09here's one really important thing that
  557. 19:12needs to be discussed and this is the
  558. 19:13concept of false allegations which I
  559. 19:15alluded to regarding the me movement in
  560. 19:18the last video but I want to be more
  561. 19:20clear here many men are vulnerable to
  562. 19:22false allegations of domestic violence
  563. 19:24and abuse specifically around divorce
  564. 19:27proceedings and in contentious divorces
  565. 19:29these accusations can be strategically
  566. 19:31used by women to gain leverage in a
  567. 19:33custody battle or to secure Financial
  568. 19:35benefits even unproven allegations can
  569. 19:38severely damage a man's reputation and
  570. 19:41you guys have seen this play out and
  571. 19:43this is where the concept of innocent
  572. 19:44until proven guilty is a really great
  573. 19:46idea but doesn't always play out in
  574. 19:48reality because women are always seen as
  575. 19:50innocent and there's value to that
  576. 19:52statement some of them can be incredibly
  577. 19:54manipulative and calculated and so the
  578. 19:57combination of financial obligations
  579. 19:59alimony child support legal fees and the
  580. 20:02emotional turmoil that men go through
  581. 20:04limited access to their children loss of
  582. 20:06property loss of Investments retirement
  583. 20:08Etc this can leave men in dire
  584. 20:10situations and can result in long-term
  585. 20:12Financial strain mental health issues
  586. 20:14such as depression and feelings of being
  587. 20:16completely trapped relative to the legal
  588. 20:18system and if we look at suicide rates
  589. 20:19over time well they have increased for
  590. 20:22men since the 1970s and for those who
  591. 20:24have followed the trend in women's
  592. 20:26rights well this may come as no surprise
  593. 20:28now I also don't want to suggest that
  594. 20:30there is never a place or time where
  595. 20:31women should not receive some type of
  596. 20:33financial support if indeed they went
  597. 20:35into the marriage under the assumption
  598. 20:37and agreement that she was going to take
  599. 20:39care of the house and the children
  600. 20:40because he was going to provide for her
  601. 20:42that to me makes sense but this is a
  602. 20:44conversation that spouses need to have
  603. 20:45with one another prior to going into a
  604. 20:47marriage and I do think prenuptual
  605. 20:49Agreements are necessary in certain
  606. 20:51cases not only does it protect a man in
  607. 20:53his assets it protects her and their
  608. 20:55children in the future now as we can see
  609. 20:57in a lot of the men's dialogue and many
  610. 20:59of you have left comments here that it's
  611. 21:00not worth it to get married or get into
  612. 21:02serious relationships because you guys
  613. 21:04get rode hard and put away wet but
  614. 21:06truthfully because of these laws and the
  615. 21:08consequences of getting into a marriage
  616. 21:09with somebody who might flip on you the
  617. 21:11consequences seem to be way more painful
  618. 21:14than the positive potential of pursuing
  619. 21:16a long-term partnership in the first
  620. 21:17place and the prospect of building your
  621. 21:19assets and then having them taken away
  622. 21:21from you makes the entire thing less
  623. 21:23appealing and this is one of the reasons
  624. 21:25why many men have opted out and choose
  625. 21:27to just remain single now on the other
  626. 21:29concept of divorce we have to talk about
  627. 21:31divorce laws relative to no fault
  628. 21:33divorce and this has empowered women to
  629. 21:35leave marriages over time just because
  630. 21:37they find them unfulfilling or
  631. 21:39unsatisfactory and they don't typically
  632. 21:41face large legal consequences and while
  633. 21:43this gives women greater autonomy and in
  634. 21:45some cases positively impacted women's
  635. 21:48ability to leave very toxic or DV type
  636. 21:50situations it's also made it a lot
  637. 21:52easier and much more common as I alluded
  638. 21:55to earlier with women initiating over
  639. 21:5770% of divorces and overall as a
  640. 22:00personal frustration in all of this
  641. 22:02there's an overall decline in
  642. 22:04traditional marriage values this shift
  643. 22:06away from tradition in marriage and the
  644. 22:08value and the meaning underneath it has
  645. 22:10been initiated with this ease of divorce
  646. 22:12and the idea that it's just like a
  647. 22:14dating game like you just break up and
  648. 22:16then you do that and have this beautiful
  649. 22:18Financial Safety Net post divorce set up
  650. 22:20for you and this leads into this concept
  651. 22:22that marriage is not something that you
  652. 22:23fight for and it's not a permanent
  653. 22:25situation where you're both committed
  654. 22:26honorable integral and loyal to one
  655. 22:29another instead it just leaves it as
  656. 22:31anytime I'm dissatisfied with you or I
  657. 22:32find something better I can just leave
  658. 22:35and this is where the Red Hill Community
  659. 22:37gets a lot of their arguments correct
  660. 22:39they are highly aware of the
  661. 22:40disadvantages that men face when it
  662. 22:42comes to divorce and now that we've
  663. 22:44talked about men's spaces well we have
  664. 22:46to talk about women's rights as I
  665. 22:47alluded to in my last video there are
  666. 22:49some positive things that I think came
  667. 22:51for women as a consequence to women's
  668. 22:53rights movements but third wave feminism
  669. 22:55in my opinion and relative to what we
  670. 22:57see culturally
  671. 22:59has potentially taken it a little bit
  672. 23:01too far men who once saw themselves as
  673. 23:02providers protectors who took on the
  674. 23:04hard [ __ ] roles who put themselves
  675. 23:06out there and sacrificed all the hard
  676. 23:08labor are now looked at as second class
  677. 23:11citizens because I can do it all by
  678. 23:14myself and many men feel emasculated or
  679. 23:16uncertain about their jobs career and
  680. 23:18ability to excel which leads to
  681. 23:20avoidance of relationships altogether
  682. 23:22especially if women have become
  683. 23:23significantly more entitled and because
  684. 23:25of hypergamy the idea that women date up
  685. 23:27in a cross the more educated that women
  686. 23:29get well the harder it is for them in
  687. 23:31turn to find a partner who is above them
  688. 23:33especially if they're in jobs where they
  689. 23:35have a lot of financial resources and a
  690. 23:37man wants to come in and provide for her
  691. 23:38but they make equal pay while it can
  692. 23:40lead to her emasculating him for all of
  693. 23:42his efforts and his achievements and
  694. 23:44research even suggests that as this has
  695. 23:46continued to climb culturally women are
  696. 23:48delaying marriage and children in order
  697. 23:50to focus on their careers and this leads
  698. 23:52them to find a partner later on in life
  699. 23:54whereas men specifically in some of
  700. 23:56these movements we'll say that a woman
  701. 23:57over 30 is well spoiled Goods now not
  702. 24:01only have these movements really
  703. 24:03empowered women in ways that I don't
  704. 24:04know are best for them but they've also
  705. 24:08demonized traditionally masculine values
  706. 24:11which I personally believe are
  707. 24:13incredibly important but there is such a
  708. 24:15thing just like there are toxic women
  709. 24:16everywhere there are also some of you in
  710. 24:19my comment section that seem to be very
  711. 24:20toxic men now I don't believe this is
  712. 24:23majority of men just like I don't
  713. 24:24believe the majority of women are
  714. 24:25completely toxic that doesn't mean that
  715. 24:27they don't exist and in some cases of
  716. 24:30these feminist movements it's really
  717. 24:31easy to vilify men and point to them as
  718. 24:34being the root of all evil but qualities
  719. 24:36like leadership assertiveness
  720. 24:38competitiveness are strengths and are
  721. 24:40incredibly necessary not just for men
  722. 24:42and women Dynamics but for culture and
  723. 24:44Society to accelerate in a positive
  724. 24:46direction at all but now anytime a man
  725. 24:48asserts himself disagrees or Stands Tall
  726. 24:51with his boundaries it seems as though
  727. 24:53he's perceived as toxic and many men
  728. 24:55feel like their natural traits are
  729. 24:57unfairly criticized ized leading to a
  730. 24:59lot of confusion frustration and
  731. 25:01resentment with the current culture in
  732. 25:03modern society and men are increasingly
  733. 25:05told to be more vulnerable or sensitive
  734. 25:08but men also feel like when they do
  735. 25:10these things while these things aren't
  736. 25:11valued and indeed can be weaponized
  737. 25:13especially in romantic or professional
  738. 25:15contexts and so it feels as though men
  739. 25:17can never be the right thing they're too
  740. 25:20hard or they're too soft they want to be
  741. 25:23vulnerable but when they do they get it
  742. 25:24thrown back in their face and over time
  743. 25:26with enough experiences that rein force
  744. 25:28that belief it will solidify men
  745. 25:30avoiding any type of relationship
  746. 25:32Dynamic whatsoever now the other thing
  747. 25:34that's really important reflective of
  748. 25:35feminist movements is they always tend
  749. 25:37to be the drum of the patriarchy men are
  750. 25:40portrayed as the oppressors and
  751. 25:42responsible for all of the ills of
  752. 25:43society from workplace discrimination to
  753. 25:46sexual harassment and if you don't know
  754. 25:48what the patriarchy is it's presented as
  755. 25:49a male-dominated system that tends to
  756. 25:51benefit men at the expense of women and
  757. 25:54there are plenty of campaigns that focus
  758. 25:56on the fault of men some messaging and
  759. 25:58feminism Dei all can lead to this
  760. 26:00environment where men feel they're under
  761. 26:03constant scrutiny and this will make
  762. 26:05them more hesitant to express themselves
  763. 26:07or pursue anything as far as a
  764. 26:08leadership role or excelling in a place
  765. 26:11that would require them to assert and I
  766. 26:12don't mean that in a dehumanizing way as
  767. 26:14if they are dominating everybody to
  768. 26:16obliteration but necessarily so men are
  769. 26:19a little bit more competitive and I
  770. 26:21think that's a good thing and because
  771. 26:22they can't Excel or when they do excel
  772. 26:24then they're talked down to or they're
  773. 26:25mansplaining or whatever it might be
  774. 26:27this can lead them to feel their
  775. 26:28contributions are completely overlooked
  776. 26:30or undervalued and on the other side of
  777. 26:32that their failures are often
  778. 26:33overemphasized now it's important to
  779. 26:35note with women's rights and feminism is
  780. 26:38that the third and the fourth wave
  781. 26:39tended to have a much more radical Edge
  782. 26:42while early feminism focused on
  783. 26:43achieving equality later feminism has
  784. 26:46emphasized a much more radical stance
  785. 26:48instead of seeking equality it seems
  786. 26:50that now we are focused on achieving
  787. 26:52female dominance and somewhat revenge
  788. 26:55for historical injustices and this
  789. 26:58continues to Foster adversarial
  790. 27:00relationships where men are viewed as
  791. 27:01enemies rather than allies movements
  792. 27:04specifically that focus on smashing the
  793. 27:06patriarchy can inadvertently alienate
  794. 27:08men and will continue to foster a
  795. 27:11hostile climate where any type of
  796. 27:13cooperation between the genders feels
  797. 27:14almost impossible and the push for
  798. 27:16women's rights and empowerment has in
  799. 27:19some cases created a culture where
  800. 27:21certain types of women feel almost
  801. 27:23entitled to special treatment or they
  802. 27:25use victimhood as a form of power and
  803. 27:27this is particularly evident in social
  804. 27:29media in public discourse where women
  805. 27:31will utilize feminist rhetoric to avoid
  806. 27:34any type of personal accountability or
  807. 27:36demand preferential treatment which many
  808. 27:38of you thought that I was going for in
  809. 27:39my last video but here we are for
  810. 27:41example some women May interpret
  811. 27:43disagreement or criticism as misogyny or
  812. 27:46sexism which will cause them to
  813. 27:48weaponize their gender to shut down any
  814. 27:50type of opposing viewpoints additionally
  815. 27:53the focus on empowerment has led to some
  816. 27:54double standards in Behavior certain
  817. 27:56women feel entitled to engage in certain
  818. 27:58types of behaviors that they would
  819. 27:59criticize men for engaging with
  820. 28:01themselves I.E aggression or
  821. 28:03manipulation but they do these things
  822. 28:05under the guise of empowerment and this
  823. 28:06can lead to toxic Dynamics where women
  824. 28:08view themselves as inherently virtuous
  825. 28:10or above reproach while men are
  826. 28:12continually criticized and in romantic
  827. 28:15relationships some women have adopted a
  828. 28:17much more adversarial approach where
  829. 28:19they are encouraged to prioritize their
  830. 28:20own self-interest and Independence over
  831. 28:23cooperation and compromise and feminist
  832. 28:25discourse sometime promotes the idea
  833. 28:27that man are often disposable and
  834. 28:29replaceable and this continues to
  835. 28:31reinforce women to pursue their own
  836. 28:32goals at the expense of their
  837. 28:35relationship and men in these Dynamics
  838. 28:36often feel emasculated or devalued as
  839. 28:39the traditional role of mutual support
  840. 28:41and Partnerships in a relationship is
  841. 28:43completely undermined furthermore the
  842. 28:45rise of toxic femininity where some
  843. 28:47women use manipulation shame or
  844. 28:49emotional abuse to control men is a
  845. 28:51growing concern in modern gender
  846. 28:53Dynamics overall the shift in gender
  847. 28:55Dynamics where men are often portrayed
  848. 28:57as problem itic or completely
  849. 28:58unnecessary have contributed to a
  850. 29:00growing overall gender divide in both
  851. 29:02dating relationships marriage and
  852. 29:04monogamy and as a consequence to this
  853. 29:07many men are just opting out of the
  854. 29:08dating Market altogether contributing to
  855. 29:10the rise of single men lower marriage
  856. 29:12rates and an increased Reliance on
  857. 29:14casual relationships rather than any
  858. 29:16type of committed partnership now listen
  859. 29:19here's where I want to leave this at
  860. 29:20many of you will sit here and demonize
  861. 29:22the idea of modern women but the truth
  862. 29:25is most of you [ __ ] are sitting in
  863. 29:26the basement jerking off to only fans
  864. 29:28and that would be a complete stereotype
  865. 29:30because for many of you that's probably
  866. 29:32not true at all but the more that we try
  867. 29:34to put each other into these extremist
  868. 29:36boxes as if it applies to the masses in
  869. 29:39general the further this disconnect is
  870. 29:41going to get you can do what you will
  871. 29:43with this information and if you already
  872. 29:44had your mind made up then my goal isn't
  873. 29:46to change it but if you are somebody
  874. 29:48who's on the fence about this topic
  875. 29:49overall or would prefer to see things
  876. 29:51improve you'd be hard pressed to find
  877. 29:53something that's more fulfilling than a
  878. 29:55strong relationship with a good woman
  879. 29:57and this isn't just coming from me in my
  880. 29:59own desires I've already worked with
  881. 30:01hundreds of men who have the car have
  882. 30:03the career have the success and the only
  883. 30:06missing piece to their life that
  884. 30:08resulted in true fulfillment was a real
  885. 30:10relationship with an honest woman who
  886. 30:12actually loved them so that's all I got
  887. 30:15and if this video held your attention to
  888. 30:17this point here's a video on the 10
  889. 30:18things that men need to know about women
  890. 30:20before they turn 40 now I would tell you
  891. 30:22to [ __ ] off but apparently that's not
  892. 30:23nice either bye we can't even be playful
  893. 30:26here we can't even be playful what
