You stepped wrong this time, women life don't value more than ours, if I have to choose to get shot or my girl getting shot I'm 100% going for the second one, my children is different but I would still most likely put my life first, and in reality most people would, is basic survival instinct. Destroy gender roles, this one to.
Abandoning your kids. ... FYI gender roles & responsibilities arent all bad. As a parent, your kids lives should come first and if you disagree its perfectly acceptable for people to perceive you as a fkin coward for not sacrificing for your own seed.
My husband and I were living in Nashville and experienced a drive-by. The gang was looking for the kid next door and confused our addresses. My husband was FRESH out of the military and just back from Iraq. We BOTH went into our gender roles and we did it without any thought. He immediately started to protect me and the children and began directing us to safety while he confronted the threat. I laid on top of our children and prepared for the bullets to hit me. I situated myself so they would hit me and not them. There wasn't time to think or care about anything. We just did our roles and yes, he was and is my hero. He would keep us alive. I followed his leadership and would STILL follow his leadership today. That was 16 years ago. I know I can trust him with my life.
God bless you and your family ma'am. I believe every house needs a man who can be firm when the situation calls for it and soft for the wife and children.
I feel like this guy would do the same honestly. And to go against Preach a little bit it IS Fight or Flight mode. It's not critical thinking its more of a reflex. But for this guy to use critical thinking and still hesitate on saving his kid is fucking CRAZY.
you found a good husband...do raise your kids to be warriors too. Im only 23 and im already thinking about how crazy society is for raising my future kids 😂
As a husband and father of two young girls, we had a similar situation happen when we lived in Baltimore city. Two armed men broke into our home one Tuesday night. We had just had our second child so of course we were awake in the middle of the night, feeding her. I saw them on my camera system and heard the glass door frame shatter. I am a firm believer in my second amendment so I grabbed my rifle and left my side arm with my wife. She called 911 and took the kids and hid while I went and confronted these men. I was fully prepared to give my life before I let anything happen to any of my girls. I shot and killed both of those young men that night. It changed me forever. Both of the men broke in my house were wanted for multiple breaks in and a possible murder so there’s no telling what would have happened if I didn’t do what I did. As a man, it your responsibility to protect your family. Anything less then that is cowardice.
@Steven appreciate the words. I’m glad my daughters won’t remember it. It changed me and my wife forever. Homicide has a way of sticking with you. I never wanted to have to take it that far but when it comes to family, I had no choice. The two men were brothers 18 and 20 years old. I still struggle with it from time to time. But it was us or them.
Mark Tyler I'm glad all of you made it out safe! You had to do what was necessary to protect you and your family. I pray you both get peace in mind and heart and protect your family from harm.. ameen
Steven Prieto bcz that’s often the norm that men leave their women with their kids. It does matter what gender abandon who it’s still cause psychological damage in the kids especially if the other parents who leave doesn’t try to mentain their relationship with their child.
Agreed! I don’t care what people say, my goal in life is having a family worth protecting, and being able to protect it when needed. Not all women are worth that protection, but mine is.
My wife is pregnant, she's carrying our child. My daughter. I'd happily lay down my life for either of them. There's no way I'd be able to live with myself if either of them died because of my actions or inaction.
@@theyoutubeguy917 exactly, because empathy is a foreign concept to most men , a man who’s masculine and have his protective instincts on he wouldn’t find it cringe, women also would sacrifice themselves for their kids and I saw this many times.
@@zinnia5659 facts shii I remember driving with my mom & seeing this lady RUNNING down the street & screaming tryna get away from this man I immediately got out the car & got her away from him.. turns out he kidnapped her & was tryna sell her to the sex slave trade.. she was speaking an entire different language frantic lookin dirty asf.. i don’t even know her yet something inside me just went in protector mode & I couldn’t control myself I just went like sumn out of an anime lmao (keep reading to see what the police did 🙄🤦🏽♂️)I called the police told them the guys description (a fair skinned Arab man in his 40s about 5’6) & when they got there they immediately went after me a 6ft 21 year old lightskin man 🤣🙄 almost let the weirdo get away cause they were so focused on tryna get me! The lady was telling the interpreter that I’m not the guy over & over again.. I was so pissed off I wanted to cuss every single one of them out lmfao but I knew that’d give them just what they wanted 🤷🏽♂️ but yeah that was my origin story 🤣🤷🏽♂️
Yes it is! Cause the left wants to destroy the nuclear family. They don't believe in traditional family systems as conservatives do. The left also doesn't believe in the second amendment which is the best protection that a family can have against evil activities.
A friend told me this story. He and some family members were coming from a small shop that they owned. His dad had the day’s earnings and was on a bicycle. Some robbers jumped out at them with weapons and he before he could fully process what was happening, he saw his dad vigorously pedaling away in the distance. The robbers took phones and whatever cash they had on them. He saw his dad later at his house but now he was acting aggressive and threatening to go back to the spot to look for the robbers (they had long gone). He was obviously trying to reclaim his masculinity after abandoning his family (including his own teenaged child) to criminals.
If that dad at least owned up to flaking that’d of very slightly better. In a precarious situation like this though you don’t really have many options. Either stay an get robbed and possibly die, or leave an insure you own safety.
My husband and I had an attempted home intruder. I shot up awoken by someone trying to open the back door. First thought to wake my husband. He knew by my voice something was wrong. He got up instantly. His a very heavy sleeper. He grabbed his bat, made a lot of noise. I was following him with golf club. He yelled at me to stay with kids. I did as was told. Once he did a once over, called me to double check. If my partner wasn't willing protect our kids minimum I'd leave and move in with my brother. He would not for one second no give his life. His proven it multiple in past. I felt so proud my husband was willing to protect us. Very proud.
Man… I remember as a teenager hearing the front door slam open one night and instinctively grabbing an object in my room and tiptoeing down the hall to defend my family. Fortunately it way just the wind from the storm, but still. I instinctively was ready to defend the people I love, and I grew up spoiled and protected. It’s wild how some people operate today.
Same, mom and sister got scared of a dangerous animal that got into our home via the back washing room when I was 12. I got my dad's gun and handled business, as he taught my brother and I. Millions of years of evolution, this is the instinct we should have but we know, not all men will actually do it. But throughout history, they will be shamed for the rest of their lives. Now mfs will hide behind group think to explain away their cowardice.
But would your wife or girlfriend do the same for you? No, she wouldn't. YOU take the bullet, while she makes wedding plans with her new man with your life insurance.
I'd never go downstairs to protect my family because other people want or expect me too. I'd do it because I'd feel the responsibility to protect my kids who I put here on earth. Protecting my girl is important, protecting my own kids is mandatory. I'm responsible for them.
His scenario had no kids, just him and his girl upstairs and he hears people break in downstairs. If you go down just to investigate you'd be a moron for doing that...just remain upstairs and call the cops and get prepared or barricade the door. If the scenario has your kids downstairs then yeah you should go downstairs to protect them.
@@Fate862 I don't blame him for not going downstairs when it's just him and his girl. Barricade the door, call the police, let them deal with it. That is common sense. You don't know who is down there and what they want. However, I do blame him for thinking way to long when asked about what if it were your children's life at stake. That shouldn't cause that much thinking, it shouldn't cause "Well, depends on the gun". I don't have children but I would give my life if it meant my niece would survive. He probably doesn't have kids so I guess that might be a reason why he was thinking so long as he doesn't think as a parent would, but come on, that was weak as hell.
@@Jorendo People didn't see the full convo of this. Trainwrecks (who is the moderator) said that even if you are not going downstairs if you take initiative and leadership to do something while your girl is scared this is showing masculine leadership qualities. The methods are different but the instinct is the same, which I think is a good point.
27 years of marriage, my husband has never lost his temper with me. The only time I've ever seen him get seriously angry was when he thought someone was putting me and the kids in danger. I think Preach nailed it. No adult should hesitate to protect a child. No adult man should hesitate to protect their wife. I would be shamed to live if a child in my care was killed. And, now that my oldest is an adult, he has explained to me that it's his job to protect me. I appreciate this guy's honesty, but I'd tell any woman to steer clear of him.
That’s the problem with these weak men. They will be the destruction of our society and civilization. Imagine all of the guys thought that way in 1941 who would have fought in Europe and Asia? That’s why the toxic masculinity is the weak men.
Oh maybe he just doesn't feel that kind of attachment to them. That to protect his "loved ones" isn't exactly instinctual. It's a lot more common than people might like to admit. Generally, men are expected to protect and serve, but whether or not they will, is a different question.
Married 13 years, have multiple children, and I have a childhood background of domestic violence. Hubby HAS placed himself between me and danger before, and I've placed myself between him and danger. He wouldn't think twice about running into a raging inferno to get one of our kids. If someone attacked us while he was gone I would fight to the death to protect our children. This man sounds like he's got massive attachment issues.
@@aSSGoblin1488 nope, not really. Just a good man. He works hard, I work hard, we've got each other's backs through thick and thin. Take your sorry incel butt on out of here.
A man protecting his family is almost equivalent to a woman nurturing her family (the former is riskier). She would rather everyone else is well taken cared of before her own needs and he would rather risk his life to save his loved ones.. so when a man says he doesn’t have to protect his family, its quite questionable same as a woman who is selfish has a questionable character.
That's not a similar equivalent at all. A man chooses to sacrifice his own life to save his family it's not an obligation like women nurturing a child. They are biologically designed to be nurtures which is why they carry children. Men have no biological imperative to sacrifice themselves it's a choice they make.
It’s not even so much him being a b!tch, just a person whose never cared more about someone else than themselves. He is the most valuable person to him
Still a coward, cause if you have family you understand this principle, if you have a brother or sister you understand you’re gonna do everything to watch over and protect them.
EXACTLY. And that has nothing to do with gender roles. Id go fucking downstairs because its the people i love im going to protect weather i have boobs or not
there was another question ask like the house one where he ask if ten guys where to attack you and your girl friend if you would at least attempt to try a fight them so she could try and escape and the guy said he wouldn't even try
I saw a story of a woman going into a fire and had 95% of her body covered in burns to get her two kids. That kind of determination is not found in the "oh yeah I'd die got my kids" that's found in the moment. That's a deeply rooted will not made through just a decision. Its found in animals all the time, so that hypothetical situation is already determined, you just have to get your brain out the way and do what needs to be done to protect what matters
My wife is the woman I live for and our daughter is the woman I’d die for. I couldn’t imagine someone bringing a threat to my family and doing nothing.
finally someone that understands . i would burn the world to shreds for my wife. i guess some ppl aren’t lucky enough to find that real partner in life .
Even if he wouldn't in the moment he should WANT to protect his family as the man in the relationship. The fact that he hesitated to say he'd protect his own child is crazy
I was a tiny sleeping 8 year old ,when a thief broke into our house , my mother got up to go to the bathroom and she literally bumped right into the guy and started screaming for dear life. I instantly sprang up and grabbed a big block of glued Legos , ran out of my room and bust that dudes face with my toy and he ran jumped through the same window he broke in from. Instinct takes over but if u dont have instinct, ur a dead man ,u just don't know it yet.
Truth, not everyone is a fighter but you can still help in emergency situations. Everyone has a part to play in those situations. I say if your not a fighter then do what you can and take the ass whooping while the people your defending gets away to safety.
This is a prime example of what's really wrong with society. Everyone--men and women--have gone wild. They only care about themselves. Maturity comes out of something else being more important than your own life.
It's the same as it has always been. Humanity hasn't changed when it comes to that. You just see it more often now, because of technology. Edited to avoid further confusion.
@@somerandomguy4240 It's the same as it has always been. Humanity hasn't changed. You just see it more often now, because of technology. Truth, most people don't realize this!
There's a lot wrong with society, but singling this out is kind of disingenuous. He's a kid. Pretty sure he still lives with his parents. He's spent his entire life being protected, instead of having to be the protector. He's also a rich celebrity. Not exactly what I would call a reasonable example of anything. Offering him up as a microcosm of everything wrong in the world is pretty silly. He gave the responses I'd have expected of someone with his life. Remember, when Syrian refugees were coming over and rich people with no fewer than 10 unoccupied mansions were telling us commoners to welcome them into our homes? Celebrities have always been disconnected from reality.
My family and I were in a 7/11 when a guy came in to rob the place. He had a gun, had it out and was yelling. I put my child behind me. My husband stood in front of us both. Our job was to protect our child.
@@MomoAfterDark His job becomes shared once she becomes a mother. Her job is also to protect the child. She doesn't just take a seat and pull out the knitting if a crazy gunman burst into the house.
When I was 17 I was walkin around the park with my nephew(4) and niece(9). Then outa nowhere this Rotwiler made a beeline for us and my nephew was the closest too it. I literally threw myself at the dog and he mauled my arm I was shouting at the top of my voice. People gathered around and the owner was this white lady and she called of the dog. Man the amount of adreneline coursing through my body was hella nerve wrecking, I forgot how to speak english and kept swearing at the dog owner in Zulu. To this day I have no idea how held my own against that dog but man am I glad I did cuz I wouldve never been able to live with myseld if my niece and nephew got hurt. They not even my kids but they still children. If as a man you would hesitate saving your flesh are you really a man?
Well said. What's happening to men today is awful. They can't call themselves men, fools more like. To be that self obsessed that you would have to think about saving your own child. Or else it's just a new breed of psychopaths. A psycho wouldn't help anyone unless there was something big in it for them
I would get in front of ANY child in that situation, much less one of my own. I refuse to believe this dude is that much of a coward, he’s probably just disagreeing with Andrew for the sake of being righteous in the eyes of the people who don’t like him. If he is telling the truth… honestly bro he doesn’t deserve a Family of his own.
bruv my 9 years old cousin litterally jumped in front of a bull dog that was trying to bite his mom and got bitten as a result of it. Its in our instinct to want to protect people that are dear to us. If you don't have that instinct then you might have some psychopathic tendencies
That’s awesome man That kid has warrior/ protector spirit in him Wouldn’t be surprised if he goes into a line of work that has to deal with him protecting/ saving/ defending people in some way
I have a 6yo. The idea of using her as a shield is mind-blogging and alien. I am her meat shield. Period. I would die for her a million times and more. She is my world. Anyone who wouldn't sacrifice themself to save their offsprings' lives are cowards and don't deserve love in their life. I would do the same for my wife, but if I have to choose between the two, then I'm still saving my daughter.
I am 100 percent prepared to die protecting people I love. To live a cowardly existence with a dead child or wife's, even both, blood on your hands is worse than death. You will never forgive yourself.
If you have to die to protect the people you love, so be it. Your sacrifice wouldn’t have been in vein of they get to continue living because of what you did. The goal is never to get killed, but you just might have to. Most people aren’t prepared for that.
when i was a kid some robbers broke into our house , our parents heard them , dad went downstairs with a gun and mom hid me and my two sisters in a locked room and called the cops. While dad was looking for the robbers , one of them sneak behind dad and pinned him to the ground , took his gun and pulled a knife , all while the other robber was stealing stuff. Luckily for all of us , and especialy dad as he was about to be stabbed , our dog bit the robber that pulled a knife and both robbers ran off scared. The cops found them 2 weeks later. The robbers were two brothers who just got out of prison for murder and theft. If it wasn't for our dog , the robbers would have killed us all most likely.
Omg. Your story made me cry, dogs are truly angels send from God to protects us. My Machu (german shepherd) saved me from a snake when I was 4, always protective and stayed alert with strangers but he was the most gentle pup ever. I miss him every single day, since 2016 💗 (sorry for my english)
I was around fifteen years old on a family vacation in Sri Lanka (I'm Pakistani btw). My dad went inside to use an ATM which was for some reason made of glass and completely see-through. My mother and sister were in the car waiting, and so was I. As soon as my dad came out of the ATM with around $500 in his wallet, this dude standing outside snatched my dad's wallet, pushed him, and ran for some back streets. My dad yelled and ran after him and I knew something was wrong. Without thinking, or asking questions, I flung the door open and ran behind my father, who was a smoker, and got out of breath almost as soon as he started running, and I chased the guy and caught up to him without thinking about him having a weapon or anything. All I knew was that even if he did have a weapon, I didn't want my dad to face the dude alone, and I'd do whatever I could to stop the guy from hurting my dad if anything happened, and I wanted to get my revenge on him for him violating us like that. Eventually, the dude turned into an abandoned building, and I was going to run inside to find him, but my dad somehow caught up and stopped me, saying my life was more valuable than any money. I am happy that I'm not a coward, and that if my dad did catch up to the guy and if something happened, I'd at least be there to have this back. I'm happy I'm not a coward when it comes to protecting my loved ones, doesn't matter what my gender is, I'd put my life before the people I truly love. I was 5'7 and only weighed like 65kgs, and had no training in martial arts or any fight experience, it was just pure instinct. I'm 18 now and I'll still put my life on the line for my loved ones, I know this isn't a very good story, but it's just how I'm wired.
Hopefully you know how to fight now. Because going around being a Protector with no skills centered around it is kinda reckless, and it could cause your only Fear(losing someone that you think you can save) to come true.
Intense situations will reveal how you actually are. People say all day “I’d do this,” and when shit goes down that doesn’t happen 😂 I’ve learned I am calm and I immediately tend to my children while my husband leads the way. I help as needed. It really just depends on what is going on.
i thought i was a beta like this dude until two guys tried to break into my house when i was alone. snuck up on one guy & pointed the gun directly at his face & scared the other one off with a side eye. the other guy walked up & i gave a gentle & silent "no" head gesture as i held the gun to the other guys face. they both calmly walked out. it was 100% instinctual & i didn't even think about it before doing it i just snapped into action without an ounce of fear when it was happening. the fear of possible death didn't actually settle in until the adrenaline subsided & it was long over. guess i'm more alpha than i thought.
When I was about 16, my best guy friend and I were doing door to door outreach to invite people in the surrounding neighborhood to church. Most people were polite, but when we got to the door of this one old guy, things went left. He was cursing at us and yelling, just being really nasty. We were shocked but thanked him for his time and I told him to have a blessed day. The guy called me a witch with a B and started towards me. My amazing friend jumped in front of me and was shouting "you don't call her that! Apologize! You don't call her that!" The man backed down immediately and I grabbed my friends hand to leave. That tall, lanky, normally mild mannered boy was and will forever be an example to me of what a man should be.
My son (2 year old at the time) was sleeping, me and my husband were in the kitchen, we heard movements and our main door open and it was a man peaking into our apartment, I thankfully came on time or he wouldve snatched my child and ran, my husband came through, chased the man down and threatened the man while telling me to stay by my son….thankful for my husband
The whole interview was funny because xQC acted as if he was some defender of women and women’s rights but failed to answer affirmatively to defending his girlfriend in a case of a break in. It was the perfect demonstration of why women hate Nice guys. They’re flexible when it comes to their values and unreliable as soon as things get tough. Even though Tate has some insane views on women just the fact that he’s consistent on what he believes in makes him more attractive to women than a soy addicted xQC.
he didnt act like a defender of women he just called out misoginy tate spews. not possibly dying for your girl isnt being a Nice guy, its kinda weird, but its not fake feminism
Theyre not insane though, that is how the VASTY majority of male female relationships are. Just no one goes on tiktok and screams about how different hey are. Of course hes meming when he says "obey" but its a joke, like ofc guys joke about the "old ball and chain"
"Even though Tate has some insane views on women just the fact that he’s consistent on what he believes in makes him more attractive to women than a soy addicted xQC." This is something you can't see, but I can. You vision sucks. I agree with Andrew Tate about man instincts is automatically set to protect their family. What I don't agree is the overtop takes he makes on females that outweighs any of the goods he speak on. Controlling and manipulating leads to a dark road. Andrew Tate literally just got done with talking against the government who does these things, and yet He designs his on system just to do the very same thing that he claimed he was trying to fight against. He just became the new hypocrite.
If you love someone, your primary instinct is to protect them. It’s that simple. I’ve seem wives and girlfriends jump on the backs of assailants, pulling hair, kicking, biting and more to protect their men. So for a man, who’s probably more robust (not including all the Norbits and their Rasputias) than his woman to hesitate to defend - even his own child!!!! - is wild to me.
Exactly. I mean I would not hesitate to rip out an assailants lungs that threatened to kill my mom, partner, sister, child, niece, nephew or a child, or even just the people that I love in general doesn't matter if man or woman. But it would be always always be a deep gesture of love for me that the people I love (a ride or die woman especially) would always help in stopping bad people that tried to threaten us in any way. Not that I need it, but it just proves to me that you really love me, and it fuels me to love you more by offering myself up potentially for the ultimate sacrifice, because that's love. Its written in the Bible, that dying for the people you love is the ultimate profession for your love for them
The hypothetical was in the first place more so about the evolutionary build-in system men have in them to feel the need to protect their woman. It isn't the same way with women, it's just not. I'm not saying women don't have any feelings to protect their men but it's just a totally differend thing. It's just something that 99% of men feel very strongly about because it's wired into us which is why what xqc said became so controversial. Other thing is that in those way more rare cases where a woman intervine to help out the man, it's most of the time some more alcohol involved streetfight scenario and women knows in the back of her head that the guy they attack will get her off of them, but the guy Most Likely won't stomp her head on an asvalt, hit her full power or whatever guys might do to other guys in these situations. It's just way differend thing, even women in a friendgroup are put by men when say going out as a group into that safetynet, I for one have had to fought this out of his mind guy because she firstly was making out friends that are women feeling creeped out so we didn't let the guy close to the women (sitting beside them etc. because they asked so) so the random lost his mind and pulled my male friend from his streched out ear into the ground and left the bar half running, we were there for couple hours and he was waiting us outside so I immidiatelly went to ask what is his problem and at that second it was a fight.
Even as a women, I realize I’m not as equipped to fight off someone as a man, but if someone asked me if I was willing to die for someone I love I would say yes. Reality may be different, I may freeze up and not do it. But to not even consider protecting your loved ones in a hypothetical situation is wild.
This man is my Hero Aaron Gibbons, 31, was on Sentry Island, a popular fishing and hunting spot on the west coast of Hudson Bay, when he encountered the bear on 3 July. A relative said he "died a hero", telling his daughters to run while he put himself between them and the bear. The children were unharmed, but Mr Gibbons died in the attack. Another adult later shot and killed the bear.
My single mom and I were home invaded when I was 11 and even then I was thinking I had to protect us. Having that feeling as a young boy and hearing a grown man hesitate to say they would protect their partner or child is absolutely wild to me.
Call him what you will but dude really understands what "equality" means. Him, his girl, his child... all equal. 😂😂 She said she don't need a man for nothing, he said "aight, bet".
Exactly !! The best comment in here... This is what Equality looks like... Atleast XQc isn't getting a raw deal like 50% of the chumps in relationships...
I don't know man, everybody in their head want to be this 'hero'. I was once in a bus on a journey three women had their kids on the bus sitting close to them. Some hours in, the bus engine starts fuming. Everybody rushed as fast as they can away from the bus. The three women left their kids in the bus. One even going as far as stepping on her kid just to escape through the window. I think we all think we will do better in these situations, but we won't know for sure till we are faced with these hard choices.
Yep, it's easy to say you'll do something. I'm pretty sure my instincts would tell me to either grab my girl or run if there were shots, can't say for sure though as I have never been in a situation like that.
You’re a breath of fresh air in these deluded comments, everybody is always quick to be the good guy in these hypotheticals, but in reality we don’t see it, I’ve been in bad situations before and I know how fearful they are when you’re faced with death staring in your eyes, but most people don’t know what it’s like, the adrenaline will be enough to freeze you on the spot if someone pulls a weapon on you
Nah, you're either a bitch or you're not. I've never got into a fight in my life, was never in any life threatening situations. Then one day when I was 17 I heard a loud gunshot out my window...there wasn't any celebrations, no parties or nothing..then I heard another one, so I grabbed my sister and told my mom to hide upstairs in the closet, and told them to stay there until I said it's everything was clear. We didn't have any firearms so I just went downstairs with a machete we had, and stood there waiting someone to bust down any door, but come to find out it was my friend playing a prank on me throwing firecrackers outside my house. Moral of the story, I didn't give a fuck if I didn't have a gun, I heard gunshots and I stood went down there ready to confront the possible threat and lay down my life for my family. You don't have to be military veteran or ufc fighter to get these principles, it's about your masculine imperative to be willing and ready to die at any given moment, ain't no "what ifs". I was a computer nerd and I was still willing to do this, yes I was scared, but the thought of my family suffering was even more scary. So if you're saying you don't know what you would do in situations like this....that tells me you're already contemplating your own safety over your family.....aka you're a bitch.
when I was a kid, my brothers and I tried to defend our house while my dad is working night shift every single night while my step-mom and sister are sleeping. No one tried to break in but that is one of our exciting moments of our lives.
Every woman of character seeks for a man of character.There is no way around it. This is the real deal of equality: if I have certain values like: honesty, courage, kindness , wisdom,seeking of knowledge etc....my man has to at the very least strive towards those virtues too. Otherwise we are not compatible.
You say "courage" then say the man should have it by giving up his life for you? Now don't get me wrong, I would 100% put myself between my children and danger every day of the week and just as likely to instinctively do the same for a woman I truly loved ... but where is her courage if she is just stood there expecting me to die for her? If I did jump in front of a bullet for my gf/wife and survived and I looked back on the incident and noted how she jumped straight behind me rather than trying to help, I'd feel different about her after that. I dunno. It's a tough situation but I'd expect a courageous woman to be more helpful than just using me as a meat shield.
@@StuartRobertM Hey, I did not actually said ,,he should give his life for me". What I meant was his willingness to be protective.Just as much as I am protective too. This is not about competition. It's more about having a similiar mindset, a team mindset and therefore we both would have the same protective instinct: over each other and especially over our offsprings. Hope that clarifies it for you.
@@mrsbutterflyrainbows5900 I'll 100% die for my children and even sacrifice everything for their future but for a woman that is on higher step than me? Hell no
X streams for 14hrs a day, makes millions, and essentially has his life catered. Even before he became the biggest streamer, he was a professional gamer. So with all that said, he cannot be held up as an example of what "normal" men in their 20s think like. That's still a crazy take from him though. I can appreciate the honesty, but dude should have lied in that situation to save face lol.
It's a crazy take but I respect him actually being honest. I bet a lot of people just cap about jumping infront of anyone when there's a hail of bullets.
I don’t think these are a 100% his true views, it’s just that he was more concerned on being on the defensive and thinking on the next counter-argument while Tate was speaking and it showed, instead of actually trying to understand Tate’s point of views and arguments. The whole discussion was like: Tate: “women are shorter than men” X: “MY WOMAN ISN’T, MY WOMAN IS 6’8 and plays in the WNBA, SO YOUR ARGUMENT IS WRONG”
@@shahabkem8002 bro that was disproved literally like the day after, what are u talking about? It was literally a jealous boyfriend that found out his girl was cheating and she just excuses herself saying she was being held there against their will. Obviously it didn’t take long for the police to realize what was going on.
Live in Ukraine my whole life. Even in a corrupt country like mine, where human lives have no value, seen many times men jumping into the fight(and have been one of them) to protect a kid that is not even yours. You have to be fundamentally broken at the core, to not want to protect your own child.
It's hard to predict how you change when you have children. Imo, no person who doesn't have kids would answer this question with the full knowledge of how they would act. Because I completely agree with you, they would without thinking protect their child.
I remember my 8th grade teacher telling us after a shooting that if one were to happen in here SHE would do anything in her power to protect us unless they had a machine gun then that’s too much damage to conquer. I respect her. Shoutout. Mrs. Karen Worland. To this day if anything happens around me I’m frontline. She was a single mother serving the community as a teacher. And she also told me after I graduated she said I know you’re going to get into trouble one day be on America’s most wanted not America’s dumbest criminals.
I personally believe that whether you are a woman or a man, when you love someone, you should want to do what it takes to protect them and put them above your own survival.
You personaly believe that, but let me ask you, where was this thinking in the titanic? Where was this believe? people do not care about your opinion, they see how you act, everyone has an opinion just like everyone has an ass
@@paulelago9453 A prime exemple of a man taught by a single fem inist mother, if you would not defend your girl with your life, your not a man, your a coward, or you just never loved her.
I was walking with a female friend once and we had a big dog come up on us fast, barking and snarling and the first thing I did was step between her and the dog, never even thought about it until afterwards, it was just a reaction. Doesn't even surprise me how far "men" have fallen, but its sad to see what a culture of only caring about yourself above all others has done to us.
Honestly this all started with feminist ruining woman. While I agree men have fallen. This is more of a conquense to woman becoming rotten and society not valuing men. And frankly woman treating men terribly. Men have little to no incentive to care about others or society. Not saying it's good but I am not going to trash them at the same time. Society brought this onto itself. What do you expect when you give men no reason to care? Do you really expect men to defend woman or the society when the law and family courts are completely onside in woman's favor ? Are you surprised when sexism from woman is okay but the biggest sin on earth when done by men even jokingly? Are you surprised when companies vastly favor woman in hiring over men? Is it surprising when society is always trying to push and promote woman to top jobs and positions of power? So while I prefer traditional gender roles which does require men to defend woman I am not going to expect men to be idiots and allow themselves be used by woman or a society that doesn't value them. It's idiotic at best to suggest otherwise. If your woman knows her place and follows her role then that different.
I did that for a guy friend. He had to tie his shoelaces then the dogs came and I got in between making sure they don't attack. That's what friends do usually. Other ppl don't just care as much as some.
When my husband and I first got together he was not about guns. After we had our first baby girl he immediately got several. You have no idea how strong your protection instincts become until you are responsible for tiny humans.
Facts and that even extends beyond your own children. The same instincts kick in when you work as a teacher for example, its a fundamental trait that makes us Human.
It’s not that it’s crazy, but that it’s shocking because people generally want to protect people and things they care deeply about. To say you wouldn’t try to protect someone you should care deeply about puts your love, affection, etc into question.
why are we expecting XQC, king of the 16 year olds on twitch, to hold admirable qualities? Man doesn't even have kids, surprised Aba was so emotional over this. The dude is inside on his computer for 16 hrs a day.
He had to get emotional because this is the current state of masculinity, allow this to continue and this is what men will be 10 years from now. You don’t want your offspring to live in a world occupied by people like this
I agree but like you said, he’s the king of 16 year olds and has a major standing on twitch. If it was an average Joe, Aba wouldn’t be that concerned, but this is a manchild who’s opinions influence and are a reflection of the next generation.
It’s good for the world to see what sitting inside looking into a screen for 16 hrs a day does to the minds of young “men”. Millions of kids watch this dude so there needs to be a counter argument to the weak shit he is saying. He chose to debate Tate and put himself into a position to be criticized.
@@thesazbak5342 the eff you on mate? Everyone knows the instinct to defend your offspring is more powerful than the instinct to survive. Everywhere, for every species, basic fact of biology. The eff is wrong with people? The only thing left is for someone to claim people need to walk with their heads up their butts in order to be progressive and y'all would just up and do it, no questions asked.
When getting my conceal carry license, I had a 4 hour lecture from a lawyer, and this exact scenario was discussed. You can't, in my state, go downstairs to shoot the intruder to protect your property. You can shoot to protect life. It's up to a jury to decide if going down to investigate the noise with a gun, fearing for your life then, and shooting was justifiable. He offered the best legal solution was to barricade in the bedroom with your family, call the police and tell the intruder to not come into the bedroom because you will shoot them.
Yep this is the best thing to do. But the point of the scenarios were about him defending his girlfriend and he kept dodging the question. It was not about survival at all. It should have been a yes or no question and it got out of hand cause Tate was about to change the topic and they got sidetracked cause X couldn't understand. Even the onlyfans debate he just said Tate was wrong and didn't give out an alternative.
its not about that, its about the fact that he woudlnt defend his gf, going down was just a way of saying if you would put your life on the line for your partner, hell some people migth say this and when the shit hits the fan they just freeze cause the cant controll it but its about the fact that you would want to protect the ones you care about in danger not just "survive" by yourself, immagine asking your partner if they would be there for you or your father and hearing them hesitate..
You could literally have been standing still for the last 20 years and you’re on the Red Pill side at this point. Without changing a single opinion as an everyday civilian that exist outside the culture war.
This is the truth. The fact is that the Overton Window has shifted so far to the left that even people who are "centrist" are now considered "right" or even "far right". Red pill somehow now seems to be associated with "conservative extremist".
P.S. This man seems to not know the feeling of losing a loved one, partner or immediate family etc because grief sometimes feels like walking around dead. I’d rather be dead than go through it. I’d choose them. Woman or man in the relationship, you should want to protect your family at all costs.
Unfortunately the modern definition of "equality" thanks to the "Strong independent women who don't need no man." The definition of equality has changed to no longer include needing to protect or help random women, or even loved ones, I can make a new family if something happens. If you're incapable of defending yourself, why is it my job to take up that responsibility? You're my equal, so I will teach you how to defend yourself, but I will not defend you at the expense of my own life. My life is just as important as yours or the kids, and we can always make more kids. It's only logical.
It's protecting your wife and children at all costs. A woman you're dating a girlfriend is not your family. When your dead more then likely the girlfriend moving on.
@@tyshawneason8273 what good is protecting a woman (be it a wife, gf, sister, mother, grandmother or whatever) if they can't protect themselves? What if the man protecting them is dead?

Imagine the feeling your child would have when they look at you for protection and you just stand there and let whatever happen to them. Imagine that. What a worthless coward. The truest form of cowardice. Good times create weak men, weak men create tough times etc.
I was just in Orlando 4th of July, when we heard "Mass shooter!!" and everybody started running... I didn't even process... I took one arm and wrapped it around my daughter and I took the other arm and wrapped it around my other daughter and I pushed them forward as my back is to wherever the "shooting" was supposedly and off we ran... Not for 2 seconds did I hesitate to put my whole body in front of them and I would do the same for my husband (if I ever meet him). I'm brave AF... I like real alpha's (like my pops)... They don't make many in my age bracket...
going down there and just dying right away isn't defending anyone. they'll just kill you AND THEN go upstairs. gather your kids, barricade your bedroom door, load your gun, and call 911.
It's a dumb hypothetical question to ask. Because if you jump in front of the bullet, then they will just shoot your child next, now both of you are dead. That's exactly why he was trying to say there must be a better option.
To be fair he is an influencer with no kids. Point being no disrespect but he’s extremely immature and doesn’t know much about life sitting in his room all day. I guarantee if he has kids he’ll change his mind.
@Caramel I bet a lot of those gamers with no wives and kids are big talkers telling others they'd fuck their mums since they were kids and deep down they're cowards too.
The only reason I would put my life in danger in defense or protection of a female is if she is my daughter, mother, sister or loyal wife. Any other woman that I have come across in my life aside from those I mentioned should defend themselves. I’m not dying for y’all. I have people that depend on me as a husband, dad, son and brother . If I’m not any of those to you, then your safety is not worth my life, not my concern. Call 911
I personally disagree with how I live my life but I respect your point of view and mine comes from being a little old fashioned for a Zoomer and Texan where old school chivalry is still big. I've gotten between a guy in the street and his woman he was shoving around ready to fight if he didn't chill the fuck out and bc I didn't know they were together until she got all hes my bf its ok and shit. I will say though I'm single and that dude shoving his gf around being a bad person has a gf so these people like Tate have some solid points when women are into that behavior versus being respected.
There's really not much difference between a girlfriend and wife, a long term girlfriend will eventually become your wife. you sound like a horrible person to date. ew.
"Depends on what gun it is." I can just imagine XQC asking the gunman "what model pistol is that?", then asking for a moment to google the gun and measure the distance and do some advanced ballistics calculations to make his decision on whether he's gonna bother to try and defend her. He knows he was just clutching at straws to disagree with whatever angle they're coming at him from. XQC is disingenuous with his arguments, he ends up disagreeing just to not have to agree on any point whatsoever. XD
If the gunman shoots xqc , the gunman also will shoot the wife , people are here stupid as fk, him saying that no one goes downstairs is actually the smart move but people here are dumb as fuck, and then people cant see andrew is also a little bit sexist , like cmon man , he has the sex trafficer mentality , poeple definding tate is cringe , " I think andrew is right 🤓" Im gonna face the threat so we both die🤓
Do you also not realize how dumb of a hypothetical it was? If you say yes and get in front of the bullet, then they'll just shoot your kid next. Congrats, now you're both dead. Great job bud. That's why he was saying there must be a better way.
Well technically If it was a gun that obviously could shoot right through him and still kill the child behind him, then stepping in front of the child would not make any difference for the survival of the child. But He himself would survive. So rationally that would be the logical decision to make. But of course in a situation where someone points a gun at your child, you're most likely not in a very rational or logical state of mind. So I guess one would just react instead of taking all variables into the aquation and then think of the optimal solution...
I think people underestimate how baked in their reactions are to these situations. When we were out my roommate’s girlfriend got drunk and walked into traffic in front of a car. Before I could think about it I had already jumped to grab her and fall out of the way. If I’d thought about it for a second I might not have risked my life since I barely knew her but my body moved before I had time. xQc might say he’d have to think about it but most likely if I’m being generous his body would probably jump in the way of the bullet while his brain was still thinking about it
Yeah it's more of a emotional response. When it comes to people you love alot of logic in these situations disappear. It's pretty much all reactionary decisions.
My thought exactly . Brain would probably be focused on tasks and coordination( grab person, pull person away , resume normal mode) . What a person says and his instincts are to separate things
I married my husband partly *because* he is quick to act and level headed under stress, and I don’t even have to ask if he would fight for me. I mean, I was taking a bus across the country and when I stopped at a bus stop in an area known for human trafficking, he started packing bags and contacting people and essentially getting on the road, even though the stop was only for a couple hours.

I think XQC took "Going downstairs" literally. Because if you think of it literally, then yeah going downstairs is dumb. Both partners should have a gun and gun training and should remain upstairs to prevent the robbers from getting to the family while calling the police. If all family members and pets are upstairs then there is no reason to go down there, period. While I wouldn't want my partner to run away and ditch me, or leave me to fight alone, I also wouldn't want a brain dead macho man who does something stupid to prove his manhood and end up dead.
Yeah it's like this. Will you defend and protect your girlfriend? 1. Yes 2. No XQC: Survive He didn't answer the question thats why they went through three different scenarios. It was mindblowingly annoying. It wasnt about survival at all
This is what I'm saying! Even if the man were to go downstairs, fine, the other person upstairs should be competent as well and not freeze up (i.e. last line of defense). If the man falls and the other person did nothing and everyone is sitting ducks, what must happen now?🤦🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️ Competence must be in everyone as far as is possible.
@@simphiwe4930 if they got kids the woman supposed to go protect the kids and the man confronts the threat, the woman should be on the phone calling 911 immediately
Imagine having so little love for your family that you are not ready to defend them. If anything, this SCREAMS selfishness. This is not insane, this is cold blooded and calculated selfish ego talking. If I build a life with my partner and kids, why the hell would I back down from defending them if I love them? Only someone who doesn't love for real can abandon them and say such things.
I can understand if the question is about a stranger, most people will stray away from saving a stranger.. but the question literally said "your woman".. it means you don't actually love them even if you claim you do because you are willing to abandon them in the most extreme scenario.. if you're a woman, why would you invest in a man like that.? Don't you want someone who will be there by your side no matter what happens.? A man who will not abandon you even if the whole world did.? Why would you not want that kind of man.? This is why a lot of modern men are betas.. weak and pathetic.. that they are willing to abandon someone they "love" just to preserve themselves.. they are screaming in the face of women that "I won't hesitate to abandon you if it will benefit me."
I would literally never be able to respect my husband again if he hesitated to say he'd protect our children... it just instantly makes me feel repulsed and disgusted. Luckily I know my husband would do anything for our children it's not even a question.

Women will definetly jump in without hesitation in any situation involving a child. My gf's niece (like 5yrs) fell out of a lil wagon into a puddle at a pumpkin patch. No joke my gf grabbed her niece up in 2 seconds from pulling the wagon while i stood there next to her niece laughing my ass off because of how it happened. But her niece saw me laughing and her frown turned upside down. And don't get mad at me. I'm taking care of someone else's kid several times a week so her mom can work and get back on her feet. I love this kid. She just wasn't in any real danger. We had extra cloths and were headed out.
Some people do some people dont. Ive deffo seen my fair share of moms not only not doing that but pushing their child into perceived danger as they run away themselves. Not necessarily a sign of bad morals cuz of like reflexes but lets not act like women always do this one morally righteous thing especially when that thing is something so connected to reflexes something humans have little to no control over
Lol yeah, I was walkinf with my kids and had to save a strangers baby from falling into a pond because his mom wouldn't have reached him. My sonjust said that I'm always saving babies (meaning him and his siblings) so he's not even surprised
Ehh depends, there are actually a decent amount of moms filmed during disasters that left their kid, one in particular I remember was when goons jump out of their car to rob them and the moms run and leave the kids behind. I've seen kids on CCTV looking mad confused by themself at what was going on and why their mom just ran away... When theres any disaster who do you see running to help and who do you see running away and/or standing there screaming.
"toxic masculinity" is different from normal masculinity, Toxic masculinity refers to the notion that some people's idea of “manliness” perpetuates domination, homophobia, and aggression, while good masculinity perpetuates courage, strength, and maturity.

Stop treating random youtubers like role model. What I mean by that, they can have a point but sometimes they can talk nonsense. In that case @Aba sounds arrogant because he doesn't have enough life experience (not old enough) to coach young men even if he thinks he does.

I personally think that XQC is what you get when you demonize masculine traits (toxic masculinity, male so called ego, male aggressiveness etc.) All these traits are necessary in this kind of dangerous situations.

There’s one aspect of this that is being overlooked. Which is the fact that his answer speaks to the fact that men are no longer ok with accepting or taking pride in our perceived/expected/inevitable disposability. At least part of which can be attributed to a whole generation of men being constantly reminded from youth that we’re toxic and not needed/desired by feminism and the women who have been indoctrinated into it. Until we’re needed for their convenience. The sad truth is a sad percentage of women aren’t worth our willful disposability. Now our disposability needs to be EARNED! You’ll be hard pressed to find a man who wouldn’t throw his life down for a woman who he felt DESERVED that HONOR!
All this bullshit babble about feminism is not what the question was. He said YOUR girl, not some RANDOM girl. If you wouldn't die for your girl either you know you don't need to be with her or you're a coward.
I would understand him saying this if it was a random woman, but his WIFE AND KIDS!? Just nah, there’s no change in culture that can make someone normal ever consider not protecting their loved ones. Even in hellholes like North Korea where they strip people from everything that makes us thinking individuals, you still hear stories of sacrifices. This instinct doesn’t just disappear just because the world has gone mad. So I think he’s either a psycho or he just can’t imagine loving people that don’t exist yet, so maybe they should put his mom and dad on the example (or even his pets if he has any) so that he can properly picture the situation. // excuse my english
At least he’s being honest. A lot of people say they would react a certain way in a dangerous situation but do the complete opposite in the moment of truth.
I agree a lot of people act like a bad ass and say, "I would totally do something like...", but would more than likely freeze (fight or flight) when things get real.
thats dangerous, that he thinks theres nothing wrong on what he said, hes actually surprised with the backlash and was asking destiny constantly if he was right on his statements.
People actually believe it too. The main point is to believe that u would do something like that. Atleast they are trying But people who say "I gotta survive", are not even trying. What is important, when it comes to this discussion is, what u want to do, not what would actually happen.
My partner and I recently went through a traumatic event where a gun was pulled on us. I completely froze. My fiance on the other hand rose to the occasion and fought off our attacker. He put himself between me and a gun with zero hesitation. He is now my hero. As terrifying as that experience was the silver lining is I now know with certainty that I can depend on my partner to protect me. In my opinion that is how a man ought to react. When I watch that guy hesitate when asked if he would protect his own child it blows my mind. I think its shameful. I pity those who may depend on him in the future. Hopefully he has a change of heart.
Sometimes you need to have certain events in life to really wake up. If he experiences something that's a real deal, he might be able to think otherwise.
I was surprised to hear X talk like that. From what I've heard from comments from his regular fans, he's been in a lot of scary situations lately with home invaders/break-ins from crazy stalkers, bums, and been SWATed several times. Dude's even been caught on camera having night terrors due to those incidents and jumping out of bed randomly thinking he's getting attacked. I actually saw him do it twice in less than an hour while he was sleeping in the background of his girlfriend's stream. That being said, you guys are probably right that he didn't grow-up in a dangerous environment with actual life threatening confrontation. His personality might also make him not suited for that type of situation. There's people in the world whom know for a fact that no matter what's done to them or their loved ones, they could never harm another human being. First time I discovered that, I was completely dumbfounded because I just couldn't relate. On one hand it's kind of admirable because they're similar to like Shaolin/Buddhist Monks in valuing life. On the other hand, it feels like they're just easy prey for the most vile of predators in the world. I guess it's just the nature of living in easier times.
but X didnt say anything crazy though. He just saidd neither of them are going downstairs. when you dont know how dangerous the threat is, going straight towards it is a dumb idea. Stay safe upstairs with your wife/children and call 911.

The assailant could have a weapon and you confronting them unprepared (when the assailant most definitely is) could be so much more harmful as you'd most likely be shot and they're get to your wife and kids upstairs anyway.

I realize protective instinct comes naturally for some and is learned for others. I have seen irl where a mother would just scream and the father jump into the water to save their kid, and also the father hides under the table whereby the mother runs up the stairs to go save their kid during an earthquake. To put yourself in danger in order to save someone else is a huge thing, it is in the person not in the gender. Some would if they could, some wouldn’t even if they could. Many have no idea until they reach that bridge.
This is the most sensible comment here. It's in the character of the person in question not the gender or position in the family. There's kids and teens out there who risk their own lives to protect their parents from dangerous situations too, even tho by societal norms they're the ones meant to be protected.

On our way to college, this dude stopped us and tried to rob us and he turned to me and threatened me with a knife, I glanced at my companion to see if he'd do anything and I saw nothing, so I stepped in and pepper sprayed the shit outta the dude and yelled: "run". I didn't realize it but I looked at this "friend" differently after that.
As a single mother I literally go through scenarios in my head on how I'd protect my son if someone were to break in or something. I have a stun gun I can easily grab. I think about what would happen if they had a weapon, etc. bitch, I'm ready to fight. I will go full Kimiko to protect my baby. If I was dating a guy that was like, "hmm, I'm not sure if I'd jump in front of a bullet for my kid...", nah, I'm good, I'd rather be single. Edit: okay, people seem to have read my comment as me expecting a man to jump in front of MY child. I did not say that, I said HIS child. In this scenario he has a kid of his own. I dated a guy for over a year and wouldn't even let him babysit my kid but yes, he should definitely jump in front of a bullet for my kid. 🙄😒 I'm sharing what I would do for my child and to think there are people out there who would actually have to think about jumping in front of a bullet for their kid is baffling. Again, THEIR kid. 😊
As a women, I would want my husband to want to step in front of a bullet for me, but I also feel like I would step in front of one for him too. That's what love truly is, the purest form of it. The Greek's call it Agape Love, It's sacrificing your life for another. If you don't feel that way for the ones you love, then you don't truly love them.
Good thing I don't live in Greece. Self-less sacrifice to protect the ones you love sounds so poetically pathetic, like in one of those trashy romance dramas where the man gives everything to his woman because "love". Barf. Let's see who's going to love your lonely a** when your beloved dies trying to save your worthless self.
Yeah but im sure he wouldnt allow that to happen. Its women and children first then men and then the elderly. People nowadays act like thats such a controversial thing to say
The gesture itself is noble and loving, but it's just that it's the men that have to step in always in the moment where both theirs and their wives lives are threatened. But yeah there's always going to be that one person in a relationship who's going to give love more than the other, and in this situation it is the men. Doesn't mean that your love for your partner is invalid just because you didn't offer yourself up to the ultimate sacrifice. But in these times it's always the men
That's the difference, men don't want you to step in front of a bullet for them. Their love for you does not depend on that in any way, but women lose love for men who would not do that for them if they claimed to love that woman. So it is the men who are expected to show agape love by default, not women.
It's actually wiser to hold up in a safe area with the family with your gun and calling cops. Oppose to going down sweeping rooms risking yourself and leaving your family unguarded.
That's not the point, you're talking about the technicalities, not the general principle. If you are forced somehow to confront them, a bitch like XQC would start flipping a coin with his girl ...
That’s all well and good but when you’re in that moment instinct takes over, like the guy said you don’t always have time to logically asses the situation, moments like that can happen very quickly.
@@Jor1242 if your room can be locked, and y'all can barricade yourselves in the room, and be safe, that'd be the better option than thinking you're some die hard who can go and "assess the situation".
I think this is a much deeper question. My responsibility is to protect my FAMILY and people I'm in DEEP relationship, while still protecting my life. I wouldn't risk my life to protect a "date", because I have a mom waiting for me to come back alive and I'm no hero. Also, I've been kidnaped and come from South America (got robbed MANY times) => sometimes, NOT doing anything and locking the doors, calling the police is the right decision to make (whether you're male or female).
It’s not even just about being a man, being a desirable prospect to a woman, or any other reason: If you do not immediately protect your child on instinct, you’re not human.
Facts... All that dude had to say was, “I don’t know.” Or “I never been in that situation.” That simple. Anyone can say I’ll protect the woman or the kids but no one really knows. The guy made himself look bad for making excuses.
I can’t think of a single mammal that doesn’t protect its offspring, at a very high physical cost to itself. It’s an instinct, and if a man or woman says they wouldn’t do that, I would say they’re probably not a parent yet. Something primal takes over and as Preach said, you just do it. No thought whatsoever. I was that way even when I was just pregnant- any weirdo or stranger got too close and I could feel my fight/flight clicking on. I had no control over that. So I call BS on his response- either that or he’s so damaged from his family that he doesn’t feel that connection to anyone. Or he’s not a parent yet and is speaking about something he’s never even experienced.
There are tons of mammals that dont have that instinct. The first one that jumps to mind is a male bear. Things start getting tight he will eat his own cubs. You probably need to narrow your statement down to primate. Even then I think the intensity of this instict in humans is pretty unique.
Well , think you might be right on the whole disconnect thing . It's sad but if he sort of associates even family as strangers , then that could explain the hesitation. I'm just trying to understand what could lead to such detachment.
@@lorenmercer639 You're not wrong. Alot of people have misconceptions on how brutal nature actually is. Alot of animals would throw away their offspring in survival situations. Guess it's a case of being able to make another one.
Don't go out with the home invader, unless you have children or loved ones in harm's way. Instead lock the door, call the police, get your gun, and wait. Keep the police on the line. You tell your wife to get in the bathroom or on the floor in the room as far away from the door as possible. Take up a defensive position, and wait. They come in the room, they get shot. If they don't, you have insurance and the police will be looking for them. Not protecting and providing for your family is cowardice and completely negates the man's purpose. Anything otherwise is abject failure, plain and simple
You still inadvertently answered the question. Replace go downstairs with engage. In your scenario, if the intruder's come upstairs and you have to engage, it's you, the man.
I agree but the police too often doesn't respond rapidly enough or outright incompetent at times. Play it smart but not cowardly. Home Alone it if you have to but defend the household.
I would defend my family because it's my family and it's the moral thing to do. Phrasing it as "my purpose as a man" seems a bit weird IMO. There are tons of men who don't have families and don't want families like that. I think it's more accurate to say "as a father" or "as a husband".
@@Apocalymon yeah you have a better chance telling them to run away while you face them. More than ikely police are lazy fucks it's just you for that whole hour.
We are literally biologically inclined to protect our children. The hesitation is crazy I can’t even comprehend not defending one of my daughters. I think if any real harm came to my kids in front of me that may be the most violent I’ve ever been.
I'd rather go down fighting to protect my property and loved ones than just have some random person intrude my home, take my stuff, and harm my loved ones. This passive, woke stuff is nonsense.
Sounds like bravado. You and your family are better off barricading in a room and calling the cops than you rushing downstairs to get shot. Who protects your family when you die
@@PEJK6771 Having a firearm is a good idea, but the point of that quote is that you don't want to be caught lacking in a dangerous situation. However, Sun Tzu also wants you to pick your battles wisely and not create conflict where it's not warranted. In a home invasion you're better off not going downstairs than going downstairs and engaging in a firefight that you could lose. But I respect your opinion.
okey, home invasion, you with a baseball bat vs 3-4 dudes with glocks and shotguns. Or you and your girl on the street getting mugged by 4-5 dudes with knifes and pistols. good luck you dumba*s. Every situation needs to be assesst and sometimes giving up or running away is the best choise.
This is crazy. I remember once someone tried to break in my house. I was there with my daughter who had a baby and my son. I drew my machete and headed to where the sound was coming from. If that person came in would have chop it. My instinct said protect my kids. If a man failed to protect me I would have no respect for him. None
Here's the thing though, not a lot of modern women are worth protecting. I'll protect my kids and nephews to the death, you have to kill me to get to them. But, I'm not laying my life down for these 304s we call "modern women". Y'all are strong and independent, protect yourselves. There is no gender restriction on a concealed carry license. You innately think men's lives are worth less than women's, that's just another reason NOT to protect you. It will go completely unappreciated and you might even get left while in hospital if you got injured because you have to be fucking Francis Ngannou or Mike Tyson for women to think you can fight like an average man and not stop loving you and lose attraction to you if you lose, which is likely if the person has a weapon. That protection from men, or at least my protection, is a privilege (except for my kids and nephews, it's an entitlement for them as far as I'm concerned) and modern women have done everything in their power to lose that privilege.
When i broke up with my gf, the red pill community gave me so much good advice but at the same time thankfully I had my Christian roots to keep me from just eating up everything they said and be balanced. Make fun of Christianity all you like, but it kept me from listening to the dogging on women aspect or bad teachings of red pill, while still appreciating the good aspects.
I used to be into that PUA shit and now I look back and see a lot of bullshit, but man it helped me grow so much and really got me to focus on bettering myself and growing my confidence. I feel like the perfect age for it is early 20's where you're still young enough to be open minded and change but then a few years later you're clever enough to smell the bullshit that comes with it.
****THIS IS A MESSAGE TO ALL MEN**** Haha 😂 Ive seen so many comments talking about how Brave men should be and very heroic stories. What these comments fail to acknowledge is, not every man is lucky while "Trying to play the hero" or be the hero. People die in terrible ways for these things. They and the people they try to defend. I know of a young man (teenager) that lost his life for his GIRLFRIEND. Read that again. I said girlfriend. She felt sad for a month, then went on to date a new man. And another man. And another. She completely forgot abput this guy and is currently in an open relationship. While the young mans mother and family has barely healed from this. If you're a guy, dont make your loved ones have a lost one. Protect those that would do the same for you. Protect your children because they are helpless and they are for you. Do not sacrifice your life for your wife or girlfriend unles you really value their lives over yours. Also, avoid escalating attacks in cases where it can be easily resolved without people getting hurt. A mans house got attacked by robbers. They had weapons, he didnt. He had a wife, a little son, and 2 daughters. The robbers brought them all out and told the man that no one would get hurt if he gave them his money and other jewelry. The man pretended to co-operate with them, but tried playing the hero and attacked one of them who had a gun. He got shot, his children too (one survived), and his wife got taken (abducted). So the robbers got the money, his wife, and eliminated the threat, just because he refused to be reasonable in that situation. DONT PLAY THE HERO. Think of the consequences of your actions. Also dont make your loved ones have a lost one. Contrary to what the world wants you to think, your life is valuable. Acknowledging that and acting accordingly doesnt make you a coward. It makes you smart. Thousands, if not Millions of men have gone to wars and they have been forgotten because they were shamed into thinking they were cowards if they did not go to waste their lives.
"Good times create weak men, weak men create hard times." You don't get to pick & choose the dangers you come across no matter how many good choices you make. When 💩 happens a man needs to always be prepared for the worse, whether it's physically, mentally, financially, and spiritually because men will always be the ones blamed when things go wrong. Look at Uvalde shooting, all those kids died, because weak men were more concerned about protecting themselves and covering it up than doing what they promised under oath to protecting innocent lives. The fact this is even a debate is just crazy and sad. If I will fight to the death to protect my children, the man I'm with better be ready to jump in the ring with me.
I take it a step further. Not only is it an imperative for men to protect their family, it's imperative for men to be as prepared as reasonably possible to defend their family. This includes being in good shape and having an effective weapon at hand. You are welcome to disagree, but I and most people would not be able to respect you.
And protection extends to finances as well. Yes it’s good to be all those things you mentioned AND be able to afford to live in a community where the likelihood of that happening is slim to none of course shit happens though.
Here's the problem with the question about standing in front of someone when a gun is pulled. The sentiment and gesture are good and I'm with that. In actuality though, you standing in front of the person will do absolutely nothing. Bullets go through people. Human shields are not as effective as movies make them seem.
I’m confused. On the one hand we are told that men and women at equal, we should split the bill, both contribute to raising kids and doing household chores etc, but on the other hand we are also expected to sacrifice our lives for them in some kind of chivalrous act? It seems like everything on RU-vid, and in society nowadays, is a complete contradiction. If we are both equal, then why would you sacrifice your life for them? Would they do the same for you? Look we aren’t in the 1900s any longer. If the Titanic went down then, after the children have gotten on the boats, both men and women should have equal rights to get in the life boats. It’s just so confusing that one minute we are told that we should treat women like equals and the next we should die for them. Pick one fucking side and stop being so contradictory. And let’s say you did take a bullet for her, she might have even been cheating on you beforehand 😂😂
I'm not a tough woman I'm soft as cotton but I would definitely protect my husband and my children under ANY CIRCUMSTANCE. if I saw a child in danger I would put my life on the line..
The best way to protect your husband is take your children and hide or run. If your husband (god forbid) has to engage an aggressor, the worst thing for him is to worry about you in the altercation. Remove yourself and the kids and get him space, this will allow your husband better deal with the situation.
@@kevinopfer116 this is what my husband says. I know how to shoot, I have self defense skills I have actually used, but he tells me get our son to safety.
@@vsand9798 It's not about what you can do, it's how he's going to behave if you're there. I have no doubt you can do everything you say and you can definitely help. The problem is, just by you being there adds an entirely new variable in the altercation, which becomes an overall net negative on your man's part. You think your helping, but from the man point of view, you're making it harder on him.
@@kevinopfer116 I totally get it. When I was a single mom of two boys I would tell them if somebody broke in I want you to run and get help. They were almost teenagers and couldn’t even imagine leaving me alone in the house. But I told them the only way somebody can control me is with you. When my husband told me this I understood completely.
