@@vegbeg9170most women are now starting to lose interest in college, because last men are coming and so college is now trying to get more men. But I don't think that would happen because many people are realizing college degrees have lost their values unless you're going to something very specific.

All of this talk how men must do more to impress women and to meet their standards; yet no talk what so ever of what women must do to improve. Tired of it.

@@TheMotArtI think they mean in terms of forming and maintaining relationships with the opposite sex.. women are doing better in school and in the work-force but it’s not making them Any happier it doesn’t seem. They seem to be doing as bad as men when it comes to worsening anxiety, depression an and suicide. There is way too much childish finger pointing and blaming these days - we need more solutions

"Men need to be better, men need to do more". The data is crystal clear on all dating apps and dating websites. The vast majority of women only talk to the top 15-20% of men while men are trying to match with women across the spectrum. Sure, you can always say that male consumption of pornography leads to unrealistic expectations for some but the data clearly doesn't show that to be a huge issue. The data shows that Men are open to dating a large variety of women. However, most women are not open to trying and dating most men or even talking to them because they've been fed totally unrealistic social media expectations.
No, you're way overthinking it. It's far simpler, men can (in theory) and will (if given the chance) fuck anything and everything with a pulse because thats their evolutionary drive, there is NEAR ZERO evolutionary downside. The more women a man can knock up a day, the more successful his genes. Whereas a woman has approx 1 chance per year to produce, and choosing the right partner can (evolutionarily speaking) materially impact the probability of the child surviving and therefore passing on their genes by chooing the right mate. Yes theres many layers of sociocultural influence including social media sitting over that basic evolutionary drive and there are other factors as well, but the evolutionary drive is fundamental.
@@UnclePumblechook then how is dating hard for women. They just have to be somewhere and guys will just show up and talk to them. On the other hand guys have to go out and spend tons of money and get mostly rejection. People say girls have a quality problem, not a quantity. But if you don't have quantity then it's pretty hard to find quality if there seems so few that even want to say more than 3 sentences with you.
@@UnclePumblechook "Average" by what metric? For all you know they're hella wealthy. More likely though - those are the guys who surreptitiously end up in relationships. At least 30% of men under 30ish are sexless or worse. How are they supposed to create these situations? They risk getting MeToo'd, embarrassed and so forth, and the likelihood of such outcomes only increases as men increasingly lack experience, confidence and economic viability. How old are you? Share some stats, mate
@@UnclePumblechook That's a very low bar. It doesn't mean the 70% are having much success. It may well mean they got lucky with someone far below what should be their actual league. To put this in perspective - this is 1/3 men, constituting a 250% increase in sexless men, in one decade. Men in that age range are still single at twice the rate, i.e >60%. I.e twice that of women. "Dating" is another incredibly low bar. I doubt even that constitutes the minority, at least not meaningfully.
This guy claims to care about the problem of males in todays society and then spends from roughly 33:33 for until nearly the end of the podcast talking about social engineering society to make more woman involved in everything. Brother, you are the problem.
Striking that it’s ok to have 100% male smoke-jumpers due to specific male characteristics but not ok to have 90% male ceo’s of large corporations. No male specific characteristics here. None.
I feel like using smoke jumpers as the example is ignoring the large number of jobs that basically only men do. Timber, oil and gas, construction, linemen, the majority of trade jobs. It's not just smoke jumpers that is 90%+ men. You don't hear anyone clamoring to get 50% of loggers to be women. Or 50% of oil rig workers.
@@benkessler7460 Even those numbers are skewed because they'll count women in the industry who are only adjacently working for those categories. E.G - Listing women who are safety officers on oil sites as being part of the stats.
To add an example on the flip side, I once worked in the public relations industry. At the industry events in my city, there would maybe be 2-3 men in the whole crowd, and nobody ever articulated that as being a problem.
I am a custom crop sprayer I only know of one woman that ever tried it and it lasted a year and in the winter I drive oil truck and their we have 42 driver 1 is a woman and she is the husband of the fleet manager and retired from driving bus. There are just big differences in job preferences by sex on avg.
Society? If anything older men are failing younger men. That’s where the main problem lies, since older men with their experience and wisdom should be passing down those things to the younger generation. This is called paying it forward, but if older men aren’t showing up, that’s not societies fault as a whole, that’s older men specifically being the problem.
@@henrytep8884. It’s hard for older generations to empower younger generations when they are stuck wallowing in pity and self defeat. I don’t know how to help a young guy when all he wants to do is sit online and complain.
Minute 8:00 is so important. How hard it is for older people to update their priors. I struggle w explaining how society works to elites who are born prior to 1970. They have no curiosity or desire to empathize. They also have little comprehension that they are NO LONGER in the center of life. People who are 70 act like they are 40 and treat 40 year olds as if they are 20. It is a bizarre case of infantilization to help keep baby boomers in power instead of retiring. They think the world is still the same as 1990 because they have enough money and status not to face the inconvenient reality of what their policies have created. I call this "The Country Club of Denial."™

@@kaylenesparrow2176 They started the problem we're facing now on purpose back in the early 90s under the guise of "saving the climate". International manipulators pushed an agenda within different countries down to the municipal level to make zoning for new housing more difficult, costly, and restricted, to create this inflation problem. Basically with not enough housing, prices go up, and because prices go up, people need to make more, and because people need to make more, people need to charge more... The easiest way to destroy an economic system is to make shelter unobtainable to the working people. They could easily put up enough apartments and houses in the next few years to bring housing to affordable levels, but they choose not to, to keep everyone chasing their tails. Special place in hell for the people who contrived this horror
Well older people have already heard enough of your complaints though. Let’s be honest, the younger generations wallow in pity in ways and hyper focus on only bad things and ignore the ways in which they have it better..

@@craigs1437 It's simple why society generally doesn't care about men. Men are often in competition with other men, men look out for and want to attract women, and women look out for and give preference to other women. The end result is most people helping or catering to women while simultaneously blaming, shaming, and removing authority or resources from men.
craigs1437 Because we view women as children essentially. We don’t expect them to take on the seriously hard parts of life like war, being a street cop, being homeless, not being listened to. At the end of the day, someone needs to be the responsible one and the one who’s not complaining and in a lot of cases this falls to men. We treat women like children because that’s what they want, unfortunately they have the same rights as men now but not the same responsibilities
More to the point: There is no compassion in the West, only coddling for women that would (or should) be reserved for infants and toddlers. The interesting thing is things will get around as they do given enough time. The fragmentation/destruction of the family by government involvement and the anti-family ideology that props itself up as seeking rights for women, hurts man, woman, and child. The child is the worse off as a result and the man/father is negatively affected. The woman/mother is denied the totality of the effect because of our system, but it will reach her eventually. There aren't enough births. We are below replacement in every demographic in the West and, interestingly, parts of Asia too. Without children who'd grow up to later help the elderly, these women unnaturally shielded from the harmful effects of family fragmentation/destruction or going to see how bad it is in their elder years. Especially because they tend to live longer than men. Then they'll see they were just coddled and the compassion for them would be there if compassion for men also existed. It's almost like it's a circuit.
Because ot flies on the face of social norms and momentum since ww1 when we began to shift towards gynocentrism (female preference, behavior, beliefs being held as superior, normal or healthy). The boomers and Gen x are often too set in their beliefs to see the world as is and most women benefit from it so politically there's limited worth.
When things get this off the rails it snaps back with things like the Tates. You get rid of them and you'll see something even crazier. Address the underlying problem.
There are two facts. Male educational outcomes are suffering and there is a preponderance of female teachers. The problem to be solved is to improve the outcomes not change the gender ratio. The solution may just be all boys schools not some tinkering with gender ratios.
I would think men avoiding college and going back to a trade career while avoiding the stifling college debt would be a plus for men. Hey if women want the degrees and all the debt that goes with it, let them.
lol but what you have is men just failing to do anything. You think men are going to trade schools? I’ve seen woman, semester after semester get into the trades while men aren’t doing anything
A 4 year degree at a state school is roughly 6k a year in tuition and books. So about 24k for the degree. A lot of money but not far off from the 25k that was spent for welding school. College is expensive and tuition has been increasing but it is frustrating to hear people say trade schools don't have a cost and pay 6 figure salaries. If everyone went into the trades I feel like that would drive the wages they pay down. Also, not everyone goes to Ivys and for profit scam colleges. Alot of people just go to a state school. I didn't go to a trade school because for me personally I did not want to do the jobs that required trade school. Both trade schools and 4 year degrees are needed. It seems like nowadays everyone wants to knock people for going to college
You have to factor in the societal value that is given to each gender. If a woman doesn't have any "purpose" other than being a mom (which is great) and raising kids it's ok and most men admire that. If a man has no purpose other than to be a dad you're considered "Less valuable" to society. So just out of the gate being a man comes with higher expectations. Then you factor in the relationship dynamics of men and women and how men tend to date down and women tend to date up. Men also tend to be less social than women and will shut themself away to working on stuff, especially when they are depressed. They are less likely to reach out. Women are hurt by this too as men prioritize work over relationships. There are a lot of girls who feel disconnected and lonely and I want to acknowledge them too. Factor in differences in childhood experiences, views on politics, echo chambers because of social media, and unrealistic expectations created by social media. You can see why things start to break...
1:01:00 Reeves proposes that gender representation in government is a good thing because it brings different perspectives to bear. Reeves is then given the hypothetical of a congress of all men producing a certain set of decisions and a congress of half men and half women producing an identical set of decisions and asked how the second situation is better. His answer is that we won't ever know what the effects of increased representation are. This was a clear and irrefutable demonstration of the utter stupidity of the left wing. He has been indoctrinated with feminism and simply accepts it on the level of water is wet. This is how the left operates with virtually all of its tenets. Gun violence was lower prior to the introduction of gun control laws. Teenage pregnancy and STD rates were lower before sex education was introduced to schools. Poverty rates were lower before the welfare state was introduced. Couples reported higher levels of happiness prior to no fault divorce. Stay at home mothers report higher levels of life satisfaction than career women. Race relations have gotten worse since the introduction of racial bias training. Lower marginal tax rates produce more revenue than higher rates. Student test scores were higher before the establishment of a federal department of education. Inflation was lower before the establishment of the federal reserve. It goes on and on and on. And leftists never have anything whatsoever of substance to say in response. Like Reeves demonstrated here, their response to receiving information that their policies don't produce the intended effects is never to admit the polices were wrong but is rather to retreat into emotionalism.
Don't know if he mentioned it in this talk but from my memory: He thinks that the new way of liberated women is undoubtable good and nothing of that should be undone. He thinks that we need to find a way to adopt men's purpose to that new situation. In my opinion, this attitude shows that he is not prepared to think holistic. I believe that this is a dangerous mix of dogmatic ideology and wishful thinking.
Good observations about the modern leftists. They firmly believe that, when something is not working, it must be because there aren't ENOUGH far left policies to solve the problem. Politics has given way to ideology. Leftists don't believe in politics any more.
Just one answer for you: correlation does not equal causation.. Try and understand the difference between the too, before jumping to crazy insinuations and conclusions...

It's all about choices. If you can't or don't play well with women and government then don't. There are many men who have dropped off the radar and it is being noticed. As time goes on the men who decided to go it on their own will feel the internal happiness that they will trade for nothing.

“The mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation.” - Henry David Thoreau, Civil Disobedience and Other Essays It has always been this way and it will always be this way. The interview starts by asking what role the government has played in this. Why would you, if you are a man, look to the government to tell you how to think and act? Jump ship and make your own way in life.
The problem is not men and the reason for men having problem is the state/welfare state/laws that prioritises woman. Take away the welfare state and lower taxes the most problem will fix itself
No it won't. Your mistake is in viewing what is happening as a problem. It is not a problem. It is what was intended in the first place. This is like the situation with UFOs. For 50 years you were a crazy conspiracy theorist and an idiot if you believed in UFOs. Then a few years ago the government says "oh, by the way, we've known UFOs are real for decades." In an effort to create a more obedient workforce, there has been a concerted effort to increase dependency on the government. The demonization of men, the denigration of the nuclear family, the demonization of stay at home mothers, the promotion of no fault divorce, the sexualization of young people, the decline of religion, the concentration of the population into centralized urban centers, the promotion of open borders, the emphasizing of racial division, the offshoring of industry, the ever increasing amounts of censorship, the lowering of academic standards, the fearmongering of climate catastrophe, and more are all intentionally done to produce a weak, dependent, and uninformed populace that will be an unquestioning and unresisting mass of consumers and workers. People have been saying this for decades but they are marginalized as crazy conspiracy theorists. Each individual piece of the puzzle is isolated as its own problem with its own causes so that nobody puts two and two together. If you take a step back and look at an overview of society from 1970 compared to 2020 it becomes very obvious that all of these supposedly separate problems, events, policies, and social trends are leading in one direction - to destroy the prior ethos of individual rights and responsibilities within a government for and by the people and instead create a two tiered society of wealthy educated ruling elites and ignorant dependent workers. They slipped up bigtime during Covid with their "you will own noting and be happy video" that was quickly censored. Right now this idea is the same as UFOs were 30 years ago. The evidence was there, the witnesses were there, the research was there, but there was such an extreme social stigma against it that you were heavily incentivized to ignore it. If you look at all these seemingly disconnected events and decisions it is irrefutable that they all converge on the point of disempowering the individual and centralizing power in the government and largest corporations. We're supposed to believe that this is just "progress" and is happening coincidentally and organnically. To notice the consistent pattern brands you as a crazy Alex Jones lunatic.
Reeves hard line commitment to institutional preferences and DEI initiatives for women makes me less concerned about the implosion of this system and society. We're going to need THAT much hardship to get people to acknowledge reality and move back to meritocracy? So be it.

The only reason why Richard is paying attention to the plight of men is because they threaten to turn over the table in the matriarchal world he wants and advocated policy for.
Agreed. I see the same thing in all liberals that talk about men's issues like ShoeOnHead or Scott Galloway. They dont actually care about men, they only care because they fear young men are slightly skewing more conservative. They'll never call out women for skewing extremely further left.
@@zacar0ni I think ShoeOnHead is genuine, she talks about men's issues more than anything else. Her leftism seems to be an afterthought. Plus she goes right for the throat of misandry, where as Richard Reeves just chalks up men's failures to our own inferiority.
Also, I think men are already figuring it out on their own. Men are: - Dating other men - Focusing on Situationships with women - Deciding to replace getting married and having children with individual fun, like playing video games, etc - Leaving women alone to avoid Patriarchal based problems - Or getting married and having children with women. There's a wider range of things men are doing now. And isn't this what society wants? Sure it means a lower population of people, but is that really a problem? If so, which men are responsible for fixing that?
Great discussion. A micro concern as a woman, is if you want to have children with someone, it puts us in a very vulnerable position. So if he turns abusive/neglectful, sure, you can “leave” but you will have drastic and irreversible consequences to your working career. You can only hope a court will assign appropriate child support, but as someone who has went through this, no one can give back my time and career losses. Unless the man is literally a multimillionaire, there won’t be enough compensation to make the sacrifice.
A major concern for a man, if he gets married to a woman, she can divorce him for any reason, take his children and destroy him financially. She can also false accuse him of DV, with no proof and further destroy his life. Furthermore, as it pertains to the children, paternity fraud, according to experts, is over 50%. The solition is simple, for men, stay away from these modern women. In your case, go to a sperm bank bank and become a lesbian.
It's a valid concern, however, not one that women seem to take seriously enough. Most single mothers didn't end up that way due to responsible decision-making.
Update your template: There's more risk to a man if he picks the wrong woman than vice versa. A man picking the wrong woman risks losing everything - and I mean everything. Yes, a woman still risks getting pregnant to an inadequate father, but there's a lot of social programs to help with that. Not ideal by any means, but still, it's better than the man losing everything in a nasty divorce.
@@MegaAvalonn That's generally true, but not really that helpful in terms of decision-making for women. It's just another reason to pick better men. Worst case scenario, you walk away with more.
Hey people, take a look at this woman! She literally wants a multimillionaire! She wants compensation to make the sacrifice. She is selfish and she lives for her own benefits, does not live for her own partner. She wants what is only convenient for her.
Reeves says it is "immoral" to have a traditional family, where the husband is the primary breadwinner and the wife is the primary caregiver of the children. But I think his view is based on the assumption that one role is better than the other. Perhaps we could get to a place where breadwinning and child rearing are view as equally virtuous.
As a business owner, when I have to pay you for your labor and I can work 80 hours to lose money...yeah. I'm going take mine. I shoulder the risk, I get the benefits.
Higher level of risk, higher level of responsibility and higher level of stress. Of course they'll get paid more. Also, a lot of CEOs are also founders and own a large portion of the company's stock, that's where most of their wealth resides. How about you start your own company if you're that bothered about it? 90% of startups fail within 5 years. And from the 10% that don't, most are not very profitable at all.
You're free to start your own company. Let me know how that works out. It's always someone that says this let me guess the CEOs, owners, shareholders etc are "exploiting" the workers and they're "evil" etc 🙄 🤦🏽
@@jacks7217yeah very few people ever try to look at it from the business owners standpoint. Many businesses fail daily and that owner is the one taking the hit whereas his employees shrug their shoulders and get another job .. now I’m not sure if a CEO should be making 400 times what the average employee makes
You realize you're talking about maybe 100 ceo's right? Most being insurance and hospitals. Again you want wages to rise, cut immigration, fully deport criminal aliens from the nation and wages go up.

@@michaelhoudecki3657 You completely fail to understand why DEI is an idea to begin with if you try to make that argument. A comfortable society is the shot, ideas to fix technological advances are the medication. People like you fail to realize the human experience generally. You and your entitled situation is entirely separated from the struggles of people who had to climb up from nothing.
@michaelhoudecki3657 Agreed, ignoring that detail allows DEI to pervert and in many cases violate the natural progress needed that advances society as a whole. All for an ideology ignorant to facts and unyielding to contrary evidence.
@wisdomandy9361 DEI has no foundation. It's simply built on a mindset of misbeliefs using only one perspective. It hinders the capable and lowers the bar for the incapable and yields a weaker society as a whole. Nepotism actually produced better results which shows how flawed DEI is. Business and society both thrive on competition and need it to progress. Without competition we weaken if not regress. There was a reason we lead the world.
It does matter that we care...AS MEN. Women are cherry picking what they want and are financially driven to go for high paying less physical job And are subsidized to do so while men are deliberately turned aside.
Has all male juries led to lighter sentences for men ? No! So where was the problem. It can be argued that putting women in juries made the problems worse by making sentences for men even harsher. So what problem did it solve.
@@kaybrown7733 Well women are on juries now but sentencing inequality continues and men get harsher sentences. Men are have more workplace deaths, homelessness, suicides longevity, and educational attainment. So who is the second class citizen now ? And whose rights are you fighting for ??

That is power and privilege not second class citizenship. Just replace black and white for men and women you immediately see how egregious this is and you might want to consider that you are being gaslighted.
My opinion of Richard dropped considerably on hearing him defend identity politics over policy. I get that the UK has a significantly different political system than America, but it's ridiculous to assume that parity in terms of sex comes anything close to representing the opinions, policy choices, and values of the electorate if anyone is barred from running based on their immutable characteristics. What he also doesn't seem to understand is that there are currently more women as doctors and teachers, leading to the imbalances he describes and dislikes, as a direct result of the exact kind of social engineering he is saying would be a good, compounded by ideological capture driving those who don't want to conform away from those fields.
Richard has spent a life time saying vague things like there are barriers to entry rather than identifying specific problems. He has spent a life trying to please women and is continuing to do so here.
Exactly. She's quite successful and they have zero kids? The dude can't even fathom being a father or being married to a woman who prioritizes children over career. It's basically watching an out of touch lib realize that they were a lib only because it was the only time in history where things were too easy and seeing the road ending up ahead.
Men improving themselves for women makes no sense, when most never get a shot to begin with. However, there is no downside to self-improvement for its own sake.
100%. You need to be intrinsically motivated to improve. If you are trying to improve to catch the attention of women and you fail to do so your whole endeavour is a failure. If you focus on self-improvement for it's own sake, you're a winner regardless of what women think of you.
Why are you two starting under the assumption that removing these historical barriers for women is automatically a good thing? You haven't proven or substantiated that premise in any way, and you haven't looked to see what the potential negatives are, or of they outweigh the positives.
As much as people hate it-there needs to be a hierarchy in a social structure. When it's changed and manipulated-we have the result we are seeing-world unrest and uncertainty.
I see the problem as having more to do with the forfeiture of our democratic rights, which effectively translates into the allocation of most of our wealth to a minority, thereby exacerbating precisely the kinds of hierarchies which you claim would prove to be our saving grace.
A problem with marriage is inequality of sharing chores required to keep a household running smoothly. In my world the woman did everything related to running the home. When the woman worked outside of the home, she still had the job of running the household and minding and raising the children. Most men have zero clue what that entails. A friend sent me a meme. A man was fantasizing about his perfect woman. When he came home from work, he wanted her to greet him at the door wrapped in cellophane with a glass of his favorite beverage. She would help him take off his coat and give him a big hug and kiss. The house was showroom ready and the children were fed and put to bed. His mind was whirling with his fantasy. I answered. "I'll get right on that, just as soon as I poison you dinner."
The commenters upset about a pod discussing difficult topics is crazy. We need big platforms having real conversations. Add to the discussion and say what you disagree with etc, instead of just saying something shouldn’t be discussed. College enrollment is going to be 70/30 female soon, should we just not discuss a wild swing of pendulums?
People sound legitimately stupid when speaking on these topics. Boys, teens, young adults-- they need to develop cultures of support-- outside father son relationships. Is this hard to understand?
The example of men and women in politics is a good one. I have raised 4 daughters. Men and women have very different lived experiences and representation in politics is a great way for us to see why women need to be able to speak for themselves. Even the most honest man had never been a woman for a day. He can not fully understand her lived experience. The same is true for race and class. How can you fully represent a group that you have never been a part of?
1:59:13 It's somehow men's fault that women play the hipergamy game and "choose" the top 10-15%, so men should do better. I'm confused here, the avg woman is only going after the top, and we are supposed to "improve" ourselves to be in the top but we know the metric will just be shifted to the new top %s. Why are we not recognizing the unreal standards that are being pushed now, 4s,5s,6s are only looking at the 8s,9s,10s and asking "where are the good guys" while not engaging with their "peers"?
@@UnclePumblechook experience life on whose dime, you can shit talk video games and media all you want but that doesn't change the monetary reality that women demand, games are cheap and easy, women less so.
@@UnclePumblechook That's a load of shit, those studies are including ALL men of all ages which completely distorts the picture given that boomers make up the majority of the population. If you look at the 40yr and under demographics, it's somewhere around 65% of all men are single and without families/partners. A large percentages of them are doing so voluntarily because they do not view the interactions as worth the risk or time. The majority of young men aren't bothering due to the constant negative feedback they get and the risks associated with it due to the slanted legal system. There is zero incentive for young men to want to get married and have a family and when it comes to dating most of them are priced out the market even if they are willing to take the risks and approach in person.
Richard mentions being more feminine than his wife. This is the majority situation in England! Why? Henry VIII was brutally male, his daughter was brilliantly female, followed by Queen Victoria and Queen Elizabeth II being so much better rulers than the wimpy male kings who had been emasculated to avoid the Henry VIII stuff. Masculinity is needed and in England females have been willing to step into that role.
Fear and uncertainty create major wealth. It's those who take the risk and have strong gut to endure the bloody days. When i notice extreme dips i tend to actually move more money to crypto
Very possible! especially at this moment. Profits can be made in many different ways, but such intricate transactions should only be handled by seasoned market professionals.
Being so good that no one can stop you is good unless someone actually stops you. For example, in my case, you have a person in charge, saying anyone but her, no matter how qualified that becomes an issue.
It should be stated that the laws in place restricting women's rights (such as the credit card example) also resulted in legal implications for the husband. Therefore, the husband held legal responsibility over the entire household (spouse & children).
That's not something some want to acknowledge as it might make them ask more questions resulting in answers that don't default to "man is bad or man is evil."
Also responsibility for ensuring the debt is paid and any tax responsibilities incurred. Same eotj property rights. The husband was responsible for the taxes, security and maintenance of the property so why would he not have the authority of it?
The husband held legal responsibility over the entire household (spouse & children). Therefore, laws were put in place restricting women's rights (such as the credit card example).
the CLEAR answer is that women should be responsible for all marital debt in the event of a divorce and we should remove married men's credit card rights.
About the not enough great men for women aspect of this. the result of that is 10 women dating and having sex with one man who feels none of these women are good enough to be monogamous with. So there's two sides to this. The women who feel too superior over most men, and the men these women are willing to date, who feels the same about women, and only have them around for sex. Also, keep in mind that some of those men who get all the women, was once dramatically rejected by women who felt better than him. Now he's in charge. Sounds dystopian any way you spin it.
If these guys don't mention family-court... They should ask questions, instead of speaking. Change family-court laws and all women would jump into their feminine-energy and right minds.
@@missmodern Not quite... It's much worse for men. Especially the largest group of them which are "unprotected"... Here's a thought: Only 6 percent of jobs in the largest 100 american companies went to white people in 2021. They make up 70% of the population but got 6% of the jobs? And that's just one statistic, basically anywhere that wants preferable interest rates on their loans has to do the same thing, and since all these businesses have so much debt they can only afford at 2%.... why tee is SKREWD!
The former Secret service person who got a HUGE PAYCHECK every week that we paid for said it out loud. 30 by 30 THEIR exact goal is what is hurting men. MY GOD she said it out loud and we still gave her a PAYCHECK.
I'm also curious to see what would happen to this whole thing if our college/university system collapses on itself. What would all these women do then?
You can't claim that anyone voting against these massive omnibus bills is actually voting against anything specific, that's the first thing that needs to change, single issue bills so that we can actually hold politicians accountable for their voting policy.
When women came into men's professions the share of women in those professions grew. But wherever women became dominant like teaching they tried to eliminate men altogether.
@@2onefourty definitionally no, but practically there absolutely is. Women's distribution in the workforce has remained in the same 7 or 8 categories for the last 80yrs.
I am so tired of these supposed experts claiming to care about men and their struggles, who are constantly making sure every listener knows for sure how wrong the Men’s Rights Movement is, and how much progress we’ve made, and how men’s problems would all go away if men would just try harder. Good grief. People like this are obstacles to the progress we need, not heroic fighters for men. I’m done.
Every man in my catholic family for many generations was an abusive alcoholic, women couldnt divorce them, my mothers generation was the 1st to kick them out and divorce even tho the catholic church abandoned her, so it takes time for this religious "domestic abuse culture" to get this memo! #breakthecycle
@@brianmeen2158 the women were young and had no knowledge of what alcoholism was in 1940 and 1895 and 1875 in poland where they came from, drinking was all day even at work, thats why Prohibition happened from 1920 to 1933, because men were drinking all day at work, its in the history books, also many marriages in the 1800s and early 1900s were arranged marriges and had little options, the women had to marry who their parents picked or join the Convent of the Church, you should investigate history before you get judgemental, imo.

The idea that "if you can't see it, you can't be it" makes no sense to me. I didn't need to see people who look like me doing anything for me to do it. No one who looks like me is a leader, but I work as a leader. No one in my career looks like me, yet I'm in that career. "if you only see one sex doing a job, logically you'll think only that sex does that job so I can't". There's nothing logical about this at all. It means you care first about who's doing what, before desiring to do it. When most of the time, you like the profession before you know who's doing it. I like job of film directing, (not that I do it, I just like what it entails), but it took me a long time to see what film directors tend to look like. I mean, what stops me from being a elementary school teacher is not that people like me don't tend to be teachers. It's because I'm not a fan of being around all those kids, and it doesn't pay well enough for me. It wouldn't matter how many people in that career looked like me, I wouldn't do it. There's careers where people who look like me are the majority and I still don't go for those jobs because it's not what I want to do.
on a Big Think interview this guy said that boys in school should wear labels of inveriority for the purpose of empowering girls, because the sexist society in the past have prevented women from leveraging their intellectual edge over men. this guy is just selling this topic while it's hot... and Tom, i haven't watched this interview so i'm not gonna judge you, yet i did unsubscribed, after years of following. you had some controversial interviews on this topic in the past, so if you invite this guy then i don't like where you're heading.
I’m sick of identity politics and “representation”. Where does the representation lines stop? Men, women? Gay, straight?Height? Hair color? It never ends. You are a human. There, we’re equal. I believe in judging people on the content of their character and their contribution to society. It’s nice to see diversity in nearly every domain. And we should CELEBRATE diversity but not artificially ELEVATE diversity.
Men kept women as chattel for years. We were not allowed to own property, or vote. We had to fight tooth and nail for our freedom. The pendulum has swung. Now we can take care of ourselves. Albeit men still get paid higher salaries than women holding the same job. We can choose if and when to have children with the advent of the "pill". Forgive me if I don't get my box of tissues.
Some societies allowed this hundreds or even thousands of years ago yet we know for a fact divorces has been around for over 2000 years and no it wasn't only a man's prerogative. Men do not make higher salaries, corporate officers get paid compensation based on their background and what they negotiate. You can take this brick of bullshit and GTFO.
Yeah men don't make more for the same job that's a lie. Also illegal. If that were true companies would hire all women so as to pay less in wages. Also trust me, your lack of empathy for men who weren't even alive back then to keep anyone as chattel surprises absolutely no one.
Fathers are the solution, you do not own your wife, you cannot buy your child, you actually have to participated, you actually have to spend your time with them, money is not enough and sexism is not the answer.
@@cuttlefishlongbottomtonche3974 Is that actually what this video says? Men don't think they "own" their wives in the west.

And of course they have to spend time with their family, what, do you think they don't want to? Why spend all that time and money on others if you don't care for them? And who thinks sexism is the answer? SHEESH
@@enhancedutility266interestingly it’s always what ppl say as an argument against feminism (cause double standards) when literally ALL feminists I know say exactly that if there was a mandatory military service, it should of course be both gender, and most men, if you keep pushing , admit that THEY are the ones against women in armies. I can’t wrap my mind around this discrepancy.
You cannot speak about ‘human flourishing’ and say you are okay with an all male jury or all male parliament. For humans to flourish in a world where men and woman exist, you will ALWAYS need men AND women involved in the decision making of every aspect of life. Be it in fortune 500 companies or government or educational systems or the rights of individuals or family life.
That's a false pretense, that automatically assumes that the gender of a person is primary characteristic important when it comes to making decisions for other people who do not match their gender, race or sexual orientation. Nothing could be further from the truth. Some decisions have very clear cut objective based criteria with measurable outcomes, it doesn't matter who is making those decisions so long as they are the right ones.
Politicians represent the people who vote for them, that's the whole point of democracy. If we lived in a world where only men could vote, but only women could run for office, who would really rule that world? Similarly, Fortune 500 CEOs are ultimately beholden to consumers. And most spending is done by women.
Nothing wrong with men recognizing there are issues with their role in society. I support men sorting it out as long as their solution is not that women have to go back to being chattel. Other than that, I say what do you need, fellas, and how can we help you?
One solution is men leaving their current environment and migrating to an environment that more closely aligns with their values and beliefs. For example, the culture and political environments in NYC, Boise, Idaho, and a medium sized city in Brazil all offer a different experience. At the end of the day, if a particular society isn't offering what one is looking for, it may make sense to find a society that does.
The issue is women do not want to what is "needed" to help men because it would require fundamentally changing society away from benefitting them at the default. Examples - 98% of all total alimony and child support payments go from men to women. 90% of all social aid spending is given to single mother households. Gender based hiring quotas never benefit men because they only selectively apply them in male dominated industries but not the inverse, etc. Getting rid of things like no fault divorce, alimony and gender based hiring quotas would fundamentally change how men and women interact with each other, especially for marriage/courtship.
@@theperfectbeing ooh, you give up your game with mention of no-fault divorce. What will help men is not putting women back into the boxes that you had them in, what will help men is encouraging them to evolve. If men don't want women to divorce them, they could learn to be better partners. Women tend to be the gender that is most hardwired for monogamy and family, so if they are divorcing you, you might just deserve it.
There would be plenty of 'good men' if women openly shared the qualities they truly value in men. However, many hesitate to do so, either because they fear men might exploit this information to 'game the system' or because they're concerned about being judged for their preferences. Much of the frustration among men stems from a sense of helplessness in improving their dating prospects. If dating weren’t such a guessing game, if men weren’t constantly misled by society-especially in their youth-into focusing on things that don’t actually attract women, these issues could be resolved in an instant. However, there are many who benefit from maintaining the status quo. Imagine this: You’re older, not as agile or energetic as you once were, but you're in a position of privilege and power. Naturally, you’d want to keep that position. However, a younger, more energetic person might threaten your prospects. How would you deal with that? The answer is to keep young people fighting among themselves so they don’t form a united opposition, teach them the wrong lessons-like how to be compliant instead of leaders-and let them run in circles until they exhaust themselves. So it’s no surprise that things aren’t improving. In a democracy, ideally, the majority rules. Right now, the largest voting bloc is older and has few children. They get to decide, and they have a vested interest in keeping things just as they are.
the issue in Australia with setting quotas of women in the Australian Labour Party might be that too many of these ladies openly hate a particular group. This time being men. This is exactly what they told us. When a "Gentleman," call Frazer Anning was elected elected to the Australia Senate who openly had similar views about other groups he moved through all of the harder right parties and was kicked out of all of them. I expect the same for these ladies
The thing is - women fought their way out of the hole, not by fighting men, but by being brave and pushing themselves to be better. No one could have 'given' them those things. Men also need to find their way, their courage, harness their healthy desires, regardless of what women are doing (ie, no need to fight women)
Your rights were given by the government and you got supplemented by non-government entities and corporations You were propped up Why do you think last few years they're stripping away the goodies that you have received for all these years
@@Dennis-nc3vw if you think the balance of power between men and women was equal in the last millennia, you're delusional. We didn't want to fight men. We wanted equal power. You would want it too, and that's exactly what you're fighting for now
@@Dennis-nc3vw jeezus, you really aren't trying to understand, are you? There's a difference between fighting FOR something vs. fighting people. Now, if some people get in the way of someone fighting for their autonomy, sovereignty, dignity, then those people become obstacles and must be fought, yes. But I think better of men than you do. Men were not the obstacle - unless they chose to be. And that was a shitty decision. Some women also decided to be an obstacle. Same shitty decision. Choosing wrong has nothing to do with your chromosomes. It has to do with your values
*IT IS NOT GIRLS' FAULT THAT BOYS AREN'T DOING BETTER IN SCHOOL!! *WOMEN AREN'T STOPPING MEN FROM GOING TO COLLEGE! If boys and men are to progress, we MUST take accountability and responsibility for our education/future.
It’s not their fault for doing better in school but there is some hypocrisy there. Feminism claims to be about equality amongst the sexes but now that boys are behind I don’t see feminists advocating for more men in college? And why are there STILL programs trying to get more women into college even though they’re well above 60% of enrollment? Not to mention the high amounts of misandry that takes place on college campuses, it’s practically an inhospitable environment for young men
RU-vid deleted my comment but you’re wrong. Girls have gotten WAYYY more support than boys (and still do). If boys are falling behind we have the responsibility as a society to help them like we did with girls. Otherwise we’re sexist
You're missing the point. Nobody blames girls for boys doing poorly. Nobody says women are stopping men from going to college. It's the policies that favor females that are creating a hostile environment for men. It really is exactly the same thing as the 1970s except in reverse. Back then boys weren't stopping girls from doing well in school or stopping them from going to college either. It was the fact that schools were a heavily male environment that rewarded typically male temperament and thinking patterns that disadvantaged girls. Now schools are an even more extreme female environment with the expected result that boys and men do not do as well. For example, boys and girls score equally well on standardized tests. However, in experiments where schoolwork which is identical apart from the student's name is given to teachers - who are overwhelmingly female left wing feminists - the same paper with a male name on it gets on average a 20% lower grade than when the name is female. If you do not believe me, look it up.
The system is rigged. Studies show teachers will grade identical assignments 3 points lower if they have male names rather than female names. Yet all gender specific scholarships are for women.
But they are though. When they raise their sons without fathers they are much less likely to go to college. There is a reason why single parenthood rate is sooo much lower among the upper class.
This reflects a broader societal failure to address the unique challenges men face today. This oversight is compounded by a political class that seems more focused on surface-level issues rather than the underlying factors contributing to male despair and disconnection. The comparison between AI gfs/bfs underscores the differing societal expectations and needs between men and women, further illustrating the complex dynamics at play. This whole idea explains a lot of the popular influencers men are beginning to look up to.
Me: so, any good looking girls in your class you might like? My stepson going through puberty: yes but they are mean, rude, loud, and selfish. I just hang with my male friends. I thought he might have been gay a one point, BUT I SEE IT NOW. If my son is saying these things, it can't just be men in dating and careers. Boys also. Mind you, he's smart and kind and thoughtful. I told him just to stay focused on his studies for now.
Meanwhile, my niece getting bullied by a group of boys at school. These divisions are what cause more division. Your stepson does not get to group all girls into one group and neither do you. Just like my niece doesn’t get to call all boys bullies and neither do I. Did it cross your mind to teach him to see the good in people and not put people in boxes based on gender? Because 100% not every single girl in his class is rude loud and selfish. Just like every single boy in my nieces class is not a bully.
Sir, we've been socially engineering people since we've been alive! The government taking it's foot off of our necks as women, and we proved the misogynists wrong. No one is stopping men from going to college, studying hard, or graduating.
So there isn't female only scholarships that are 20-1 in favor of women? There aren't courses specifically catered to women like women's studies? There isn't favoritism for women on entry scores? There aren't women only jobs on campuses? Sorry I've been to college in the last decade, all those things happen. When I had my major and minors done ans only had electives left I was told do the electives. The next chick got an exemption for both her minors and electives. Favoritism is rampant on colleges.
It is not a man's problem. It is a woman's problem. Men survive well together because life for men has always been tough. The question a man should ask himself is this: Do I need my money more than I need a woman? Personally, I needed a woman only when I decided to have a family with children. 🎉🎉🎉
The playbook is still the glassceiling and pay gape. It's like birthrate collapse info. Wonder when it will hit mainstream and get into women magazines. Probably it will take a decade. Think the mother's of all these university girl's figure out they will not become onmass grandmothers will set it off.
Yeah chicks are a headache. People end up divorcing, cheating, and then the court stuff. Its quite the headache and over time you just see how flawed the system is in general. Be a wage slave, work your prime years at a job you hate, and do it for 40 years and MAYBE you can get some tax money back to support you. Humans search for the easiest path, right now its internet porn, video game, online money, and debt free. Dudes are designed different then woman. The basix is all that is needed.
Richard has a misunderstanding of what "representative democracy" is supposed to mean. It refers to values, principles, policies etc., not immutable traits like race or gender. That's said, the term is contradictory to begin with. The only person who truly represents an individual's wants and/or needs is that person.
Yeah he's using the leftist definition, which is a problem because those categories infinitely fractionate to the point of destabilizing the entire process and throwing out all objective criteria.
If we had a world where only women could run for office, but only men could vote, who would really run that world? I don't think any women would be looking forward to that.
