Full transcript
- 0:0063% of males in the United States are
- 0:02single in comparison to 34% of their
- 0:05female counterparts men only have a 2.5%
- 0:08chance of finding a match that's one
- 0:10match per 40 swipes on average on online
- 0:13dating apps whereas women match 50% of
- 0:16the time one match per two swipes on
- 0:18average but the dismissal of men doesn't
- 0:20stop there 90% of jobs requiring hard
- 0:23manual labor are held by men men make up
- 0:25around 84% of active duty military
- 0:28personnel in the United States but that
- 0:30doesn't specify combat arms roles you
- 0:32know the ones who actually risk their
- 0:34lives over 95% of combat arms roles are
- 0:38filled by men and in Special Ops well
- 0:40women are nowhere to be found and to dig
- 0:42the knife even further 79% of suicides
- 0:45in the United States are committed by
- 0:47men despite their efforts to provide and
- 0:49protect women and children they are left
- 0:51hung out to dry when 70% of divorces are
- 0:54initiated by women in part one of why
- 0:56are 63% of men single I got over 1,500
- 1:00comments from Angry hurting and wounded
- 1:02men who are fed up with these statistics
- 1:04and many others that I just laid out for
- 1:06you but before I get into this video I
- 1:08do want to provide a disclaimer if you
- 1:10can't watch this video with an open mind
- 1:12then this will likely be a waste of your
- 1:14time so if that's you click off now but
- 1:16if you choose to watch this video you'll
- 1:18start to understand the other side of
- 1:20this coin which is how women are
- 1:22contributing to this epidemic and more
- 1:24importantly how it's harming them more
- 1:27than they realize as always leave your
- 1:30intelligent comments below sprinkle
- 1:32sprinkle [ __ ] let's get into it and
- 1:33this brings me to my first point social
- 1:36media the ability to Garner Mass
- 1:37attention through social media is not
- 1:39news yet women seem to be able to do
- 1:41this at a much larger scale and these
- 1:44results boost their ego as they continue
- 1:46to gain this attention and traction but
- 1:48the attention they get especially from
- 1:50men aren't necessarily men that they'd
- 1:52ever give the time of day to yet they
- 1:54continue to do it and promote further
- 1:56engagement why when we look at behaviors
- 1:58on social media we do see differences
- 2:00between men and women how they post and
- 2:02how they interact and women on average
- 2:04spend much more time on social media and
- 2:06their focus is typically on connections
- 2:08and communication men on the other hand
- 2:10tend to yes use social media platforms
- 2:12for their own entertainment but mostly
- 2:15As far as the research shows for
- 2:16information and the research also shows
- 2:18that women tend to gain both a larger
- 2:21following and further engagement than
- 2:23men typically do specifically on visual
- 2:25platforms like Instagram and Tik Tok and
- 2:27this makes sense if you took 5 Seconds
- 2:29to scroll any of these social media
- 2:30platforms and because they tend to
- 2:32Garner bigger audiences relative to
- 2:34Beauty Lifestyle Fitness Etc it also
- 2:37tends to amplify their voices and their
- 2:39messages which I'll get to in a little
- 2:41bit and while we can talk about the
- 2:42niches and the topics of conversation I
- 2:44also don't want to skimp over the fact
- 2:47that there's typically lots of Skin
- 2:49showing and this tends to Garner further
- 2:51traction and growth which only
- 2:53reemphasizes the point that in order for
- 2:55women to get noticed well their beauty
- 2:58and their physical assets are the the
- 2:59most important thing on top of this
- 3:01research doeses show that women tend to
- 3:03Garner a bigger following through
- 3:04sharing stories and emotional connection
- 3:06and we also know from a psychological
- 3:08lens that women tend to gossip much more
- 3:11than men do and social media tends to
- 3:13promote well drama so the math maths
- 3:17here now I don't want to paint this
- 3:18picture that men can't be successful on
- 3:20social media platforms because the
- 3:21evidence would also be contrary to that
- 3:23but as far as in comparison to women do
- 3:26tend to outperform men again
- 3:27specifically on these visual platforms
- 3:30so why am I hitting on this well
- 3:31relative to my last video with 1500 plus
- 3:34comments around the toxicity of women
- 3:36social media and the amplification of
- 3:38their voice and also how they Garner
- 3:40audiences plays a role in this Dynamic
- 3:42playing itself out with the discrepancy
- 3:44in followers and engagement this can
- 3:47fuel toxic feminism or feminist ideals
- 3:50and this can contribute over time to
- 3:51further animosity towards men now the
- 3:54interesting thing about social media and
- 3:55its parts is that women tend to gain
- 3:58traction by being visually appe ing only
- 4:00to then be upset when men pay attention
- 4:03to how physically appealing they are but
- 4:05the reinforcement of positive feedback
- 4:07around gaining followers engagement
- 4:09comments whatever it might be only
- 4:11reinforces women to continue to behave
- 4:13in this way publicly and this can
- 4:15inadvertently promote the idea that a
- 4:17woman's value lies in her Aesthetics or
- 4:19her social appeal and this can reinforce
- 4:22the narrative as we've seen many many
- 4:24times that women are all well
- 4:27promiscuous while men can be excluded or
- 4:30marginalized in these spaces the hard
- 4:32part about this or the female argument
- 4:34to this type of behavior is that it is
- 4:37somehow empowering or at least that's
- 4:39what we tell ourselves while from a
- 4:41man's perspective while they enjoy women
- 4:43being a little bit more loose online
- 4:45they also tend to associate that with a
- 4:47lower quality female now what's
- 4:50important to note around this entire
- 4:51Concept in attraction relationships
- 4:54whatever it is women tend to set the
- 4:56standard for sexual intimacy which is a
- 4:58really important point and I will get to
- 5:00that later in this video now toxic
- 5:02feminism can and has emerged when women
- 5:04perceive their higher success on these
- 5:06platforms as a form of empowerment that
- 5:09positions men as less relevant or
- 5:11inherently problematic and this feeds
- 5:13into the negative stereotype of men's
- 5:15role in society pair that with a
- 5:17feedback loop of monetary payouts and
- 5:19you can reinforce this Behavior even at
- 5:22the expense of one's self-respect and
- 5:24selfworth it's also important to note as
- 5:26I alluded to earlier that social media
- 5:27platforms tend to reward izing content
- 5:30and this can lead to the amplification
- 5:32of much more radical concepts and
- 5:34extremist feminist voices which tends to
- 5:37portray men as inherently oppressive or
- 5:39completely responsible for any type of
- 5:41systemic inequality and while these
- 5:43perspectives tend to gain significant
- 5:45engagement it can also encourage The
- 5:47Narrative of complete victimhood when it
- 5:48comes to women leading to further
- 5:50antagonism towards men and this will
- 5:52continue to lead to further hostility
- 5:54and division between the genders as we
- 5:57can see if you've read my comment
- 5:58section and because men tend to
- 6:00experience lower engagement on social
- 6:01media due to the fact that they simply
- 6:03engage with and tend to create different
- 6:05types of content whether that be that
- 6:07they're less driven or focused on their
- 6:09own perception of Aesthetics or looks or
- 6:11just less emotionally charged than women
- 6:13are which is true it may not perform as
- 6:16well and therefore not Garner such a
- 6:18radical audience and this can lead to a
- 6:20perception that men are completely
- 6:21disengaged or irrelevant which can then
- 6:23further lead into amplifying feminist
- 6:25narratives that men are not important or
- 6:27not engaged or don't care and this will
- 6:30continue to lead narratives that degrade
- 6:31men and well push them to be resentful
- 6:34of women and their overall behavior and
- 6:36this can compound feelings of inadequacy
- 6:38towards men especially if they feel like
- 6:39their voices aren't valued and this
- 6:41again leads to further polarizing
- 6:43domains between the genders now as women
- 6:46continue to gain success and traction
- 6:48while there's a side effect of
- 6:49communities that they engage with as
- 6:51well as I touched on Ming toow and red
- 6:52pill in the last video I do want to make
- 6:54sure that I address the fact that there
- 6:56are female communities which tend to
- 6:59lead to missandry towards men and this
- 7:01can oversimplify the gender Dynamics and
- 7:03create US versus them mentalities now
- 7:06what happens when men speak up
- 7:07especially relative to the differences
- 7:09between men and women in their success
- 7:10or engagement on social media platforms
- 7:12is that men are then contributing to a
- 7:14problem or they feel intimidated by
- 7:16women when they're just acknowledging a
- 7:18difference in success and one thing we
- 7:20know about social media and building
- 7:22audiences is that often times you can
- 7:25kind of sound an alarm that may or may
- 7:27not be real and I don't just mean this
- 7:29in social media but I don't want to get
- 7:31into actual CNN Fox News and all the
- 7:33other platforms that shove [ __ ] down
- 7:35your throat that may not actually be
- 7:37based in reality but to this degree the
- 7:39more that there's no barrier to entry
- 7:41and anybody can come online and say
- 7:42anything well we can start to create
- 7:44narratives that have some truth but take
- 7:46it to the extreme and this is where
- 7:48women tend to hyper fixate on gender
- 7:50inequalities the pay gaps oppression the
- 7:53patriarchy you name it it's been said
- 7:55many many times and this can then turn
- 7:57into a blame game where women blame all
- 8:00men for every problem and treat them as
- 8:03if they're responsible and this leads to
- 8:04rhetoric that completely demonizes men
- 8:06rather than addressing the actual causes
- 8:08of some of these things specifically
- 8:11when we look at them oriented towards
- 8:12equal outcome and when followers engage
- 8:14with and promote this type of content it
- 8:16normalizes missandry escalating the
- 8:18tension between the genders and
- 8:20completely removes the underlying
- 8:22reasons as to why some of these outcomes
- 8:24are things that we witness which again
- 8:26I'll get to in a little bit but overall
- 8:27this puts a lot of pressure on men to
- 8:29conform to be a certain way changing
- 8:31their standards submitting to women or
- 8:34making their masculinity toxic or
- 8:36outdated and this can lead to reactions
- 8:38such as retreating to male-dominated
- 8:40spaces as I mentioned in my last video
- 8:43and this is where especially if life
- 8:44circumstances led men to engage with
- 8:46women who were very toxic that their
- 8:48perception can be a bit jaded towards
- 8:50well what does a modern woman want and
- 8:53is she even worth it and this is just
- 8:54the first point we're going to be here a
- 8:56while so grab a drink get comfortable
- 8:59we've got a lot to talk about and this
- 9:00brings me to my next Point dating apps
- 9:03as I alluded to earlier 75% of users
- 9:06specifically in research oriented
- 9:07towards Tinder are men but the amount of
- 9:10swiping that men have to go through and
- 9:12reflective of the algorithm and what it
- 9:14tends to promote a lot of men well they
- 9:16get overlooked whereas women on the
- 9:18other hand have a 50% chance of finding
- 9:21success in a match meaning I could swipe
- 9:23twice and find somebody that would match
- 9:25with me whereas a man might have to
- 9:26swipe 40 times and maybe will get one
- 9:29match and this allows women to be much
- 9:31more selective while men tend to
- 9:34experience further rejection and this
- 9:35will lead to further feelings of
- 9:37inadequacy neglect and frustration for
- 9:40many men especially those that are not
- 9:42deemed conventionally attractive this
- 9:44entire experience can feel like an
- 9:45uphill battle and because dating apps
- 9:47emphasize visual attraction and Men
- 9:50often face rejection solely based on
- 9:52their appearance men who may excel in
- 9:54other areas or have just better overall
- 9:56character traits or qualities tend to
- 9:58get overlooked
- 9:59in favor of more visually appealing
- 10:01profiles which leads to a sense of
- 10:03devaluation or pressure to conform to a
- 10:05certain standard of high value man and
- 10:08we also have to note that algorithms on
- 10:11each of these dating apps varies a bit
- 10:13differently and those who tend to
- 10:14receive more engagement also tend to get
- 10:17promoted a little bit more often and
- 10:19this disproportionately benefits the
- 10:20more attractive people while leaving the
- 10:22majority of men struggling for
- 10:24visibility on top of all of this any
- 10:27type of dating online value vales
- 10:29Aesthetics over all of the things that
- 10:31actually make a relationship work and
- 10:32this leads to shallow and surface level
- 10:34interactions between the genders and
- 10:36themselves men being more valued for
- 10:38their status and women being more valued
- 10:40for their sexual appeal and this will
- 10:42Foster a sense of transactional
- 10:44relationships and reduce the opportunity
- 10:46to build actually deep and meaningful
- 10:48Connections in my last video I talked
- 10:50about the negative impacts of rejection
- 10:52on men's mental health so I won't dive
- 10:54back into that here but just know men's
- 10:57sense of rejection in the way that
- 10:58impacts their s steam is really
- 11:00important highly valuable and a
- 11:03consequence to how all of this social
- 11:05and cultural pressure in the domain of
- 11:08feminism and social media dating apps
- 11:11all contributes to the experiences that
- 11:13men are having and the reason why many
- 11:15of them are self- selecting and choosing
- 11:17to stay single where social media and
- 11:19dating apps can completely polarize
- 11:21gender Dynamics with a very small
- 11:24percentage of high status men getting a
- 11:26lot of attention while many men feel
- 11:28completely visible now one important
- 11:30thing to note here is the Paradox of
- 11:32choice and both men and women can
- 11:35experience this phenomenon but this is
- 11:37where having too many options can lead
- 11:38to complete dissatisfaction women who
- 11:40tend to have way more matches also tend
- 11:42to struggle with making a commitment to
- 11:44one person because there's always
- 11:46someone or something better lurking
- 11:48right around the corner and Men on the
- 11:49other side of the coin might feel
- 11:51completely disheartened by a lack of
- 11:52options or being repeatedly passed over
- 11:55now I did allude to earlier that women
- 11:57tend to set the standard for men
- 11:59regarding sex and the cultural shift
- 12:02towards dating apps and service level
- 12:04hookups makes casual sex more accessible
- 12:07and prevalent to both genders for men
- 12:09this tends to amplify short-term dating
- 12:12approaches over long-term commitments
- 12:14and women tend to lie to themselves
- 12:16telling themselves that they're just
- 12:17like men and can do this in the same
- 12:19fashion however the easier it is to
- 12:21access the lower the level of effort
- 12:24that men will give and so even if women
- 12:26are genuinely SE seeking deeper
- 12:28connections they also should align their
- 12:30standards and expectations for men that
- 12:32they allow themselves to engage with to
- 12:34be much higher than they currently are
- 12:36which brings me to my next point and
- 12:38it's a very important one the concept of
- 12:40hypergamy the number of comments in my
- 12:42last video discussing hypergamy leads me
- 12:44to believe that more than a 10-second
- 12:46clip in this video is going to do this
- 12:47concept justice so first let's look at
- 12:50and understand what this actually means
- 12:51hypergamy is the idea that women tend to
- 12:54marry up as far as gender Dynamics women
- 12:56date up and across and men date across
- 12:58and down this could be relevant to
- 13:00status IQ material items but perceived
- 13:03differences between the Sexes simply put
- 13:06we're always looking for something
- 13:08better and this is a complex subject and
- 13:10it is also rooted in evolutionary
- 13:11psychology which is one of my favorite
- 13:13domains of psychology to investigate but
- 13:15some would argue that this is a cultural
- 13:17societal Norm While others say it's just
- 13:19gender Dynamics and the mere mention of
- 13:21this term can trigger people or spark
- 13:23debates while some see this as a natural
- 13:25biological Instinct others argue that
- 13:27it's a social construct that that's been
- 13:29molded by culture and upbringing so
- 13:32what's the truth here traditionally this
- 13:33concept makes a lot of sense where women
- 13:35needed Financial Security in a provider
- 13:37in order to make sure that they were
- 13:38safe and secure but because nowadays
- 13:41with the cultural changes in women's
- 13:42rights movements women are able to
- 13:44cultivate their own levels of perceived
- 13:45Independence which shifts this Dynamic
- 13:47on its head in many men as a contrast to
- 13:50that currently feel like hypergamy
- 13:52creates a lot of unrealistic
- 13:53expectations and standards for men many
- 13:56men have reported that despite their own
- 13:58accomplishments it's just never enough
- 14:00and for women as far as their ability to
- 14:02create their own wealth or achieve their
- 14:04own education and success autonomy and
- 14:06Independence the idea of a relationship
- 14:08and what it used to bring them has
- 14:10somewhat changed and this disconnect
- 14:12transparently I believe is leading it to
- 14:15a massive disconnect on both sides and
- 14:17if I were to bring data into this
- 14:18conversation it shows that educated and
- 14:20financially successful women are
- 14:22struggling to find men which complicates
- 14:24the modern dating world for both genders
- 14:26it's also important to note that whether
- 14:28this is a biological driver or something
- 14:31that is culturally imposed either way it
- 14:33leads to dissatisfaction one of the most
- 14:35important points that I can allude to
- 14:37here and yes I do want to be transparent
- 14:39this is my own personal opinion women
- 14:40don't know what they need they just
- 14:42perceive what they want what they're
- 14:44supposed to do who they're supposed to
- 14:45be with the type of guy that would make
- 14:47them valuable enough or worthy enough to
- 14:49feel good about who they are and what
- 14:52their Worth or value really comes down
- 14:54to this is also one of the contrasts
- 14:55where women tend to tell themselves that
- 14:58they can be just like men now this does
- 15:00not mean that women who really do enjoy
- 15:02sexual interactions with men are wrong
- 15:04but I do not believe that the majority
- 15:06of women actually enjoy engaging in that
- 15:09at a surface level transaction level
- 15:11many men in my comment section will say
- 15:13that they just want virgins and if
- 15:15you're that guy I will say it might be
- 15:17difficult for you to find somebody
- 15:18that's above the age of 18 but that does
- 15:20not mean that there is not value that
- 15:23women should have around their bodies
- 15:24around sexual intercourse around giving
- 15:26themselves to somebody else it's all
- 15:28about what works best for you and I know
- 15:29that brings a lot of context and Nuance
- 15:31but I really don't like to be degrading
- 15:32towards either side do I personally
- 15:34align with those types of values no
- 15:36however we can see with the fall of
- 15:38Faith religion Christianity that well
- 15:41we've moved into this sexual Revolution
- 15:43and this empowerment of women through
- 15:45showing off their bodies and feeling
- 15:46empowered by the objectification of that
- 15:49especially when we pair that in tandem
- 15:51with well their ability to make money
- 15:53through things like only fans or
- 15:54pornography in my last video I alluded
- 15:56to a lot of things around pornography
- 15:58and men's and interaction with that but
- 16:00I do want to be transparent in the fact
- 16:01that well men could not watch women
- 16:04having sex with other men if women chose
- 16:07not to film themselves doing such an
- 16:09activity I do not think it is one side
- 16:11or the other which a lot of men and you
- 16:13may disagree with me completely on and
- 16:15that's okay but to point the finger at
- 16:16one gender and say you are the reason
- 16:19for this problem like me personally I
- 16:22believe that there is a level of
- 16:23accountability on both sides and the
- 16:25other side of this coin which I'll get
- 16:26to in a minute as far as the feminist
- 16:28movement and empowerment
- 16:29but I do want to allude to the idea that
- 16:32none of that would have been possible
- 16:33were it not for men which brings me to
- 16:35my next point we have to talk about laws
- 16:38and divorce specifically and how that
- 16:40negatively impacts men divorce laws
- 16:42particularly in Western countries have
- 16:44evolved to try to address fairness and
- 16:46equality but they've also contributed to
- 16:48significant disparities in how men and
- 16:51women experience divorce and these laws
- 16:54have had a profound impact on marriage
- 16:55rates divorce rates and the ways in
- 16:58which men anden women even engaged in
- 16:59the institution of marriage one example
- 17:01of how it negatively impacts men is the
- 17:03concept of alimony divorce laws often
- 17:05require men specifically High earning
- 17:07men to pay spousal support or alimony to
- 17:10their Ex-Wives and this is based on the
- 17:12idea that their ex spouse or ex-wife may
- 17:15have sacrificed her career or earning
- 17:17potential in general as a consequence to
- 17:19being in this partnership particularly
- 17:21with the assumption that there's
- 17:22children involved or they're maintaining
- 17:24the household and while this is meant to
- 17:26ensure Financial stability for lower
- 17:28income women it can also place a heavy
- 17:30financial burden on men especially if
- 17:32the marriage was short-lived or if the
- 17:34man had minimal input in any of these
- 17:36sacrifices when it comes to child
- 17:38support and it's not news that divorce
- 17:40laws tend to favor women when it comes
- 17:41to child custody where mothers often
- 17:43receive primary care of their children
- 17:46and this results in men not only losing
- 17:48regular access to their children but
- 17:49also being expected and required to pay
- 17:52a significant amount of money in child
- 17:54support even in cases where the father
- 17:56is an equally capable parent and this
- 17:58leads men to feel marginalized with
- 18:00limited visitation rights which can be
- 18:02emotionally devastating now here I also
- 18:05want to allude to something that I
- 18:06suggested in the previous video around
- 18:08how children need fathers young boys
- 18:11specifically for rough and dumo play but
- 18:14as a female who grew up without a father
- 18:15figure until I got into my late teens I
- 18:18can tell you the impact that it had on
- 18:20me in not knowing how a man should lead
- 18:23or what a true masculine role looked
- 18:24like in my life until I got older
- 18:26fathers or access to children as a
- 18:28parental figure particularly masculine
- 18:30figure there's also a ton of research
- 18:32around the importance and childhood
- 18:34outcomes with fatherless homes versus a
- 18:36father being present in the home my
- 18:38point being that the role that fathers
- 18:40play in child development and
- 18:41relationships down the road is
- 18:43critically important and I do think that
- 18:45the court system judicial system and
- 18:47laws Overlook these things regularly now
- 18:50divorce laws also look at assets
- 18:51specifically property Division and this
- 18:53tends to be split evenly between the two
- 18:55partners but there's other things
- 18:57outside of a home savings assets
- 19:00retirement funds Etc even if the man was
- 19:03solely responsible for acquiring these
- 19:05assets the law often requires them to
- 19:07split these with their Ex-Wives now
- 19:09here's one really important thing that
- 19:12needs to be discussed and this is the
- 19:13concept of false allegations which I
- 19:15alluded to regarding the me movement in
- 19:18the last video but I want to be more
- 19:20clear here many men are vulnerable to
- 19:22false allegations of domestic violence
- 19:24and abuse specifically around divorce
- 19:27proceedings and in contentious divorces
- 19:29these accusations can be strategically
- 19:31used by women to gain leverage in a
- 19:33custody battle or to secure Financial
- 19:35benefits even unproven allegations can
- 19:38severely damage a man's reputation and
- 19:41you guys have seen this play out and
- 19:43this is where the concept of innocent
- 19:44until proven guilty is a really great
- 19:46idea but doesn't always play out in
- 19:48reality because women are always seen as
- 19:50innocent and there's value to that
- 19:52statement some of them can be incredibly
- 19:54manipulative and calculated and so the
- 19:57combination of financial obligations
- 19:59alimony child support legal fees and the
- 20:02emotional turmoil that men go through
- 20:04limited access to their children loss of
- 20:06property loss of Investments retirement
- 20:08Etc this can leave men in dire
- 20:10situations and can result in long-term
- 20:12Financial strain mental health issues
- 20:14such as depression and feelings of being
- 20:16completely trapped relative to the legal
- 20:18system and if we look at suicide rates
- 20:19over time well they have increased for
- 20:22men since the 1970s and for those who
- 20:24have followed the trend in women's
- 20:26rights well this may come as no surprise
- 20:28now I also don't want to suggest that
- 20:30there is never a place or time where
- 20:31women should not receive some type of
- 20:33financial support if indeed they went
- 20:35into the marriage under the assumption
- 20:37and agreement that she was going to take
- 20:39care of the house and the children
- 20:40because he was going to provide for her
- 20:42that to me makes sense but this is a
- 20:44conversation that spouses need to have
- 20:45with one another prior to going into a
- 20:47marriage and I do think prenuptual
- 20:49Agreements are necessary in certain
- 20:51cases not only does it protect a man in
- 20:53his assets it protects her and their
- 20:55children in the future now as we can see
- 20:57in a lot of the men's dialogue and many
- 20:59of you have left comments here that it's
- 21:00not worth it to get married or get into
- 21:02serious relationships because you guys
- 21:04get rode hard and put away wet but
- 21:06truthfully because of these laws and the
- 21:08consequences of getting into a marriage
- 21:09with somebody who might flip on you the
- 21:11consequences seem to be way more painful
- 21:14than the positive potential of pursuing
- 21:16a long-term partnership in the first
- 21:17place and the prospect of building your
- 21:19assets and then having them taken away
- 21:21from you makes the entire thing less
- 21:23appealing and this is one of the reasons
- 21:25why many men have opted out and choose
- 21:27to just remain single now on the other
- 21:29concept of divorce we have to talk about
- 21:31divorce laws relative to no fault
- 21:33divorce and this has empowered women to
- 21:35leave marriages over time just because
- 21:37they find them unfulfilling or
- 21:39unsatisfactory and they don't typically
- 21:41face large legal consequences and while
- 21:43this gives women greater autonomy and in
- 21:45some cases positively impacted women's
- 21:48ability to leave very toxic or DV type
- 21:50situations it's also made it a lot
- 21:52easier and much more common as I alluded
- 21:55to earlier with women initiating over
- 21:5770% of divorces and overall as a
- 22:00personal frustration in all of this
- 22:02there's an overall decline in
- 22:04traditional marriage values this shift
- 22:06away from tradition in marriage and the
- 22:08value and the meaning underneath it has
- 22:10been initiated with this ease of divorce
- 22:12and the idea that it's just like a
- 22:14dating game like you just break up and
- 22:16then you do that and have this beautiful
- 22:18Financial Safety Net post divorce set up
- 22:20for you and this leads into this concept
- 22:22that marriage is not something that you
- 22:23fight for and it's not a permanent
- 22:25situation where you're both committed
- 22:26honorable integral and loyal to one
- 22:29another instead it just leaves it as
- 22:31anytime I'm dissatisfied with you or I
- 22:32find something better I can just leave
- 22:35and this is where the Red Hill Community
- 22:37gets a lot of their arguments correct
- 22:39they are highly aware of the
- 22:40disadvantages that men face when it
- 22:42comes to divorce and now that we've
- 22:44talked about men's spaces well we have
- 22:46to talk about women's rights as I
- 22:47alluded to in my last video there are
- 22:49some positive things that I think came
- 22:51for women as a consequence to women's
- 22:53rights movements but third wave feminism
- 22:55in my opinion and relative to what we
- 22:57see culturally
- 22:59has potentially taken it a little bit
- 23:01too far men who once saw themselves as
- 23:02providers protectors who took on the
- 23:04hard [ __ ] roles who put themselves
- 23:06out there and sacrificed all the hard
- 23:08labor are now looked at as second class
- 23:11citizens because I can do it all by
- 23:14myself and many men feel emasculated or
- 23:16uncertain about their jobs career and
- 23:18ability to excel which leads to
- 23:20avoidance of relationships altogether
- 23:22especially if women have become
- 23:23significantly more entitled and because
- 23:25of hypergamy the idea that women date up
- 23:27in a cross the more educated that women
- 23:29get well the harder it is for them in
- 23:31turn to find a partner who is above them
- 23:33especially if they're in jobs where they
- 23:35have a lot of financial resources and a
- 23:37man wants to come in and provide for her
- 23:38but they make equal pay while it can
- 23:40lead to her emasculating him for all of
- 23:42his efforts and his achievements and
- 23:44research even suggests that as this has
- 23:46continued to climb culturally women are
- 23:48delaying marriage and children in order
- 23:50to focus on their careers and this leads
- 23:52them to find a partner later on in life
- 23:54whereas men specifically in some of
- 23:56these movements we'll say that a woman
- 23:57over 30 is well spoiled Goods now not
- 24:01only have these movements really
- 24:03empowered women in ways that I don't
- 24:04know are best for them but they've also
- 24:08demonized traditionally masculine values
- 24:11which I personally believe are
- 24:13incredibly important but there is such a
- 24:15thing just like there are toxic women
- 24:16everywhere there are also some of you in
- 24:19my comment section that seem to be very
- 24:20toxic men now I don't believe this is
- 24:23majority of men just like I don't
- 24:24believe the majority of women are
- 24:25completely toxic that doesn't mean that
- 24:27they don't exist and in some cases of
- 24:30these feminist movements it's really
- 24:31easy to vilify men and point to them as
- 24:34being the root of all evil but qualities
- 24:36like leadership assertiveness
- 24:38competitiveness are strengths and are
- 24:40incredibly necessary not just for men
- 24:42and women Dynamics but for culture and
- 24:44Society to accelerate in a positive
- 24:46direction at all but now anytime a man
- 24:48asserts himself disagrees or Stands Tall
- 24:51with his boundaries it seems as though
- 24:53he's perceived as toxic and many men
- 24:55feel like their natural traits are
- 24:57unfairly criticized ized leading to a
- 24:59lot of confusion frustration and
- 25:01resentment with the current culture in
- 25:03modern society and men are increasingly
- 25:05told to be more vulnerable or sensitive
- 25:08but men also feel like when they do
- 25:10these things while these things aren't
- 25:11valued and indeed can be weaponized
- 25:13especially in romantic or professional
- 25:15contexts and so it feels as though men
- 25:17can never be the right thing they're too
- 25:20hard or they're too soft they want to be
- 25:23vulnerable but when they do they get it
- 25:24thrown back in their face and over time
- 25:26with enough experiences that rein force
- 25:28that belief it will solidify men
- 25:30avoiding any type of relationship
- 25:32Dynamic whatsoever now the other thing
- 25:34that's really important reflective of
- 25:35feminist movements is they always tend
- 25:37to be the drum of the patriarchy men are
- 25:40portrayed as the oppressors and
- 25:42responsible for all of the ills of
- 25:43society from workplace discrimination to
- 25:46sexual harassment and if you don't know
- 25:48what the patriarchy is it's presented as
- 25:49a male-dominated system that tends to
- 25:51benefit men at the expense of women and
- 25:54there are plenty of campaigns that focus
- 25:56on the fault of men some messaging and
- 25:58feminism Dei all can lead to this
- 26:00environment where men feel they're under
- 26:03constant scrutiny and this will make
- 26:05them more hesitant to express themselves
- 26:07or pursue anything as far as a
- 26:08leadership role or excelling in a place
- 26:11that would require them to assert and I
- 26:12don't mean that in a dehumanizing way as
- 26:14if they are dominating everybody to
- 26:16obliteration but necessarily so men are
- 26:19a little bit more competitive and I
- 26:21think that's a good thing and because
- 26:22they can't Excel or when they do excel
- 26:24then they're talked down to or they're
- 26:25mansplaining or whatever it might be
- 26:27this can lead them to feel their
- 26:28contributions are completely overlooked
- 26:30or undervalued and on the other side of
- 26:32that their failures are often
- 26:33overemphasized now it's important to
- 26:35note with women's rights and feminism is
- 26:38that the third and the fourth wave
- 26:39tended to have a much more radical Edge
- 26:42while early feminism focused on
- 26:43achieving equality later feminism has
- 26:46emphasized a much more radical stance
- 26:48instead of seeking equality it seems
- 26:50that now we are focused on achieving
- 26:52female dominance and somewhat revenge
- 26:55for historical injustices and this
- 26:58continues to Foster adversarial
- 27:00relationships where men are viewed as
- 27:01enemies rather than allies movements
- 27:04specifically that focus on smashing the
- 27:06patriarchy can inadvertently alienate
- 27:08men and will continue to foster a
- 27:11hostile climate where any type of
- 27:13cooperation between the genders feels
- 27:14almost impossible and the push for
- 27:16women's rights and empowerment has in
- 27:19some cases created a culture where
- 27:21certain types of women feel almost
- 27:23entitled to special treatment or they
- 27:25use victimhood as a form of power and
- 27:27this is particularly evident in social
- 27:29media in public discourse where women
- 27:31will utilize feminist rhetoric to avoid
- 27:34any type of personal accountability or
- 27:36demand preferential treatment which many
- 27:38of you thought that I was going for in
- 27:39my last video but here we are for
- 27:41example some women May interpret
- 27:43disagreement or criticism as misogyny or
- 27:46sexism which will cause them to
- 27:48weaponize their gender to shut down any
- 27:50type of opposing viewpoints additionally
- 27:53the focus on empowerment has led to some
- 27:54double standards in Behavior certain
- 27:56women feel entitled to engage in certain
- 27:58types of behaviors that they would
- 27:59criticize men for engaging with
- 28:01themselves I.E aggression or
- 28:03manipulation but they do these things
- 28:05under the guise of empowerment and this
- 28:06can lead to toxic Dynamics where women
- 28:08view themselves as inherently virtuous
- 28:10or above reproach while men are
- 28:12continually criticized and in romantic
- 28:15relationships some women have adopted a
- 28:17much more adversarial approach where
- 28:19they are encouraged to prioritize their
- 28:20own self-interest and Independence over
- 28:23cooperation and compromise and feminist
- 28:25discourse sometime promotes the idea
- 28:27that man are often disposable and
- 28:29replaceable and this continues to
- 28:31reinforce women to pursue their own
- 28:32goals at the expense of their
- 28:35relationship and men in these Dynamics
- 28:36often feel emasculated or devalued as
- 28:39the traditional role of mutual support
- 28:41and Partnerships in a relationship is
- 28:43completely undermined furthermore the
- 28:45rise of toxic femininity where some
- 28:47women use manipulation shame or
- 28:49emotional abuse to control men is a
- 28:51growing concern in modern gender
- 28:53Dynamics overall the shift in gender
- 28:55Dynamics where men are often portrayed
- 28:57as problem itic or completely
- 28:58unnecessary have contributed to a
- 29:00growing overall gender divide in both
- 29:02dating relationships marriage and
- 29:04monogamy and as a consequence to this
- 29:07many men are just opting out of the
- 29:08dating Market altogether contributing to
- 29:10the rise of single men lower marriage
- 29:12rates and an increased Reliance on
- 29:14casual relationships rather than any
- 29:16type of committed partnership now listen
- 29:19here's where I want to leave this at
- 29:20many of you will sit here and demonize
- 29:22the idea of modern women but the truth
- 29:25is most of you [ __ ] are sitting in
- 29:26the basement jerking off to only fans
- 29:28and that would be a complete stereotype
- 29:30because for many of you that's probably
- 29:32not true at all but the more that we try
- 29:34to put each other into these extremist
- 29:36boxes as if it applies to the masses in
- 29:39general the further this disconnect is
- 29:41going to get you can do what you will
- 29:43with this information and if you already
- 29:44had your mind made up then my goal isn't
- 29:46to change it but if you are somebody
- 29:48who's on the fence about this topic
- 29:49overall or would prefer to see things
- 29:51improve you'd be hard pressed to find
- 29:53something that's more fulfilling than a
- 29:55strong relationship with a good woman
- 29:57and this isn't just coming from me in my
- 29:59own desires I've already worked with
- 30:01hundreds of men who have the car have
- 30:03the career have the success and the only
- 30:06missing piece to their life that
- 30:08resulted in true fulfillment was a real
- 30:10relationship with an honest woman who
- 30:12actually loved them so that's all I got
- 30:15and if this video held your attention to
- 30:17this point here's a video on the 10
- 30:18things that men need to know about women
- 30:20before they turn 40 now I would tell you
- 30:22to [ __ ] off but apparently that's not
- 30:23nice either bye we can't even be playful
- 30:26here we can't even be playful what
