One of the biggest problems feminism introduced is the encouragement of sexual promiscuity. Many women have subsequently spent their prime years going through multiple partners, maybe dozens or even hundreds, and hence become desensitized and unable to pair bond with one man. Women with such a history are basically unmarriageable, as their ability to practice monogamy has been destroyed. They marry anyway, and this helps drive the high divorce rate. For them sex can be nothing more than transactional.
The consequence of birth control technology. Shouldn't have messed with the body's natural chemistry. Women were never meant to have sex like that. They done broke themselves.
💯 women gate keep sex and men gate keep commitment. With Chad she gave it up in an hour, but her future husband will have to wait until he buys that big diamond. Blue pilled dudes need to wake up.
Very important topic, A vast majority of women are not happy and end up alone at an older age. Women need to reflect on what truly makes them happy. A spiritual life is important for both men and women.
Women just want someone to pay their way until they get tired of that person and move on to the next. There never happy better off to stay single and live a happy life.
I was raise in progressive feminism. I remember being a child and wondering why my father coward to her demands. My father never hit me, my mother did and lied about it. I married and had a child with a feminist to appease my mother and sister, it was a horrible relationship and none of the women got along. Our son suffers now while lawyers, judges and state employees get rich.
Do women really ever know what they want? When they get what they say they want they are unhappy again within three days. One of my ex-fiances was addicted to shopping and buying shoes, purses, perfumes, clothing, she had an insatiable appetite. What it resulted was nearly 70K in credit card debt. THANK GOD I didn't marry her or I would have been saddled with all that debt!! I ended up not getting married at all and have lived a productive, contented and very happy life!
I’ve talked to several women about this . I tried to hone in on getting them to tell me what they actually want - they didn’t seem to know exactly what. I remember coming away from these conversations a bit confused lol
Subtle difference : they know what they want in a specific moment in time, but what they want changes constantly depending on the moment in time. Pretty self explanatory : if everything you do and experience is perceived through your Emotions then that same perception is for ever at the mercy of fleeting emotions.
Women wonder where all the good men are. We’ve always been here, haven’t changed, waiting for women to become who they are meant to be, good women who embrace their femininity.
Dont be fooled. Women thoroughly enjoyed their wild teens and 20s and would forsake marriage all over again to experience to again. Men don't want to accept this.
@@andre1987eph yep. The ideal scenario for a woman is to be able to select the man with whom she'll raise her children, and also be able to select independently the man with whom she'll procreate. The problem is that this scenario is the worst possible for the majority of men who are not Chads and Tyrones. Raising Chad's or Tyrone's kid is no man's dream. Hence the inherent conflict. Today western societies have broken the balance by enabling women to pursue their ideal scenario too much. And apart from the Chads and Tyrones, nobody else is winning.
I married a woman with an advanced degree who started on that path before we met. She finally got her big job break and makes a lot of money, but she's miserable. Apparently she's been shocked to learn that when you get an important high paying job people have high expectations of you. She is a "former" feminist and got everything she thought she wanted in life, yet is depressed and spends the majority of her spare time wasting away on social media. I have no idea what she needs to make her life complete, but it certainly isn't me and I won't be hanging around while she tries to figure it out...if she ever does.
_on the point about everyone expecting more from you_ Not only will the employer expect her to perform and have creative solutions to problems but even things that are not explicitly your responsibility like mentoring , motivating , leading (not just barking or parroting orders and expecting everything to run smoothly) but also family and friends will expect you to be there for them financially , materially and use your network to help them... It's like being a tree that is continually being harvested but not being nurtured or watered. Am glad your ex got what she wanted and did not realize the fine print of her wish being granted 😁😁😁😁
@joejones4296 Just know you're not alone in your pain. That's why we're all here. A lot of guys here have gone through similar experiences. I wish I had an answer for the pain that 50% of women cause to loving devoted husbands and fathers. Out of the other 50% of marriages, how many are truly happy? A whole lot less than we'd expect. They don't know what they got till they destroy it, leaving a trail of devastation in the wake they leave behind them. So many women live a lie, but I'm sure that there are women with a similar story, too. I'm convinced that we're eternal beings, and we're here to learn lessons, then we return to our source. I'm sure we'll find out why when we get back there.......I suppose I'm more compassionate, as I've forgiven my X, but I'll never marry again nor put myself through the wringer again. Hang in there, my friend.
@@john-griffin Yep. Although John had his fair share of challenges and traumas dealing with women in his life, he still manages to preserve an unbiased eye, and he is able to see the challenges that both genders face in the modern society. A wise man indeed.
Women are not the innocent people I thought they were. Actually, some can be really selfish...just like any person. Took me about 25 years ( dating and having girlfriends from 15 to 40 ) to FULLY realize this. Not that they were all bad, but some did really take too much. And to hold myself accountable, I was naive. Lessons learned.
I wouldn't say there are many women today who are nurturing especially in the US. It seems they increasingly tend to be masculine, cunning and narcissistic.
Feminism was originally supposed to be about the right to make choices. It seems like the fifth wave of it is that only certain choices are acceptable to the matriarchy.
John, this is what has destroyed Hollywood. All the movies with women as "superheros" is a turn off. We had all the TV law shows, with women in suits strutting around as girlboss prosecutors; it led to a flood of women in law school. Empty suits with inflated career expectations. Sorry, I found that I will not accommodate their busy schedules, they can adopt a cat.
Order - God, Man, Woman, children, animals. When this order is disrupted, chaos ensues in society. It's scriptural, much wisdom in scripture whether people believe or not.
He’s very funny. He had a little hotspot on his elbow, but if you were to have watched him walk, you would’ve thought he had a broken leg. I think he’s a little dramatic for a dog.
Just sharing, Father Matthew Morino in St Augustine Florida was stabbed by a woman 👩 Wednesday morning at a local restaurant. He survived and is healing he said in an interview recently. Stay safe everyone
The majority of women that I’ve been involved with are largely unhappy, but at the same time, absolutely REFUSE to admit and/or discuss it. Probably 99% of western women would greatly benefit from having a good therapist. Having said that, probably 75% of men would too.
Late seeing your video. I am not a feminist. Nope. We 🍳 cook and eat at home. Had a great full body massage today in the privacy of our home. Stay safe out there everyone.....good night 🌃
When i was homeless in 2008 I tried to get welfare and food stamps They denied me every time I stayed at a fleabag motel Welfare office told.me sleep in my car 😂😂
@@stephanesylvestre7143 I suppose that's true. After years of feeling sorry for myself, one day I made the decision that the only way out of poverty and poor health was to double down and work harder than ever. I recall very clearly sitting down that night, lighting a candle and saying aloud "If there is a higher power out there that can hear me, please help those less fortunate than me. I got myself into this mess, and I have the power to get myself out of it." And so I did.
She has the right to say what she thinks. Her comments about immigration and the fact that immigrants often bring the values or lack thereof of their country of origins. If you cannot discuss matters like that, then what's the point of educational institutions? Suppress freedom of speech? Vilify people for expressing certain views?
In the end, everyone is responsible for their own choices. Perhaps the hardest lesson for men and women to learn is that they need to follow their inner voices regarding their calling and path in life. In terms of women's statistical unhappiness, the ironic thing is that they can no longer blame it on men. If they are unhappy with their choices in terms of career versus family versus stay-at-home mom, they need to face the fact that it was their decision. One of the greatest truths is that following your inner voice will always make you much happier and your life much more full of meaning than obeying societal expectations. A related question which I do not know the answer to is: are women more susceptible to peer pressure and societal pressure than men? I suspect the answer is yes. Unless men and women find a way to put aside the vitriol and anger and come together, society is going to collapse in many ways. Mass migration are going to bring in cultures with a very different view of the roles of men and women. If those immigrants are able to reproduce at higher rates due to their differing views of male and female roles, then they will take over. Bye bye feminism
'going to bring in cultures with a very different view of the roles of men and women.' In Europe they were the ones who stood at train stations proudly holding 'REFUGEES WELCOME' signs.
At the end, everyone gets what he/she wants and what he deserves. Not many people want to be fulfilled, most of the people want the things to be their way. And the unhappyness is a logical result of the fact that the things are as you wanted them to be. =)
Great talk. We need to practice compassion and call one another out on bs. Engineers of feminism were also controllers wanting more people in the workforce, ie bigger tax base, children raised by the state with families divided and conquered and men emasculated.
A friend of mine who is gay told me “ one of the guys is always acts just like a wife and is hard to deal with,emotional,irrational etc” when I jokingly told him it would be easier dealing with another man in a relationship! Haha
Yeah it is like this with trans / ladyboys too - they take on the privileges and pageantry of women. Some are full blown queens, others are more down to earth.
Raising kids has gone down hill for the last 40 years. Moms have stopped raising the children, men have stopped teaching the hardness of life as they did. Mom now works and divorce has destroyed everything on raising kids to adults. With 50/50 now being the possibility of staying married on the first try, and 75 percent failure on the second. Thankfully the kid birth is going down. But now we have a lot of adult kids that have never been told "NO" in life and can't handle day to day stresses. And everyone has excuses for their failures and no one wants to except blame. Feminism has has given false hope to women and they were not raised to be feminine. And men have just as much failure , as the dad they never had, never thought them to straighten up and be a man. I thank my father for his attention to his three boys he raised on his own, because a mother decided to be selfish and turned her back on her responsibility of what she had 50 percent part of making. Thank you RL, my father and veteran of the army. Love
This whole synopsis is wrong, by stating men are failing just as much as women is to not understand who holds the vast vast vast amount of financial debt in society aka understanding which of the sexes can not manage money. The inability to not properly manage money is failure, and the number one root-cause for most mental illness is financial instability.
So I helped a woman relocate here from a less developed country, married her, got her citizenship, helped her continue her education with a degree from this country, and then helped her obtain and develop a high paying career. I did that because she said she wanted that but also because I did not want her to be financially dependent on me. Ironically now 12 years later we are less happy and will likely divorce. I have come to outgrow marriage and see it as an institution I no longer want to participate in. I have to admit as I watched her become more successful and make more money and devote more and more of her life to work and study, I became less attracted to her. Isn't that interesting? Almost like we're darned if we do and darned if we don't. I didn't want her to become dependent upon me but as she became more independent I became less attracted. This must be biology talking and anthropology etc. Talk more about that John. Thanks.
50% of families end in divorce. In my opinion children need both parents in their life's equally, not only mother. In my opinion 50%/50% time share is the best for the children during marriage, especially boys. Fathers should work less and get involved in childcare, and stay at home moms should get at least a part time job. In the last millennia family was match larger - the whole village, boys joined fathers in young age. Not like today being raised by stay at home mother when father works full time or several jobs, then going to school where 90% of staff are females. Children should spend more time with fathers and other males in their lives, and if divorce strikes involved fathers should continue to be involved in child's life at the same capacity as before. Children need two parents who do not hate each other, and it is not as important if they are married or divorced.
I think it's too much so called mental illnesses doing it. I used to clean houses 🏘 with a cleaning company and we had to go to a HUGE house out on the water with All Glass walls and windows!!! On the beach ⛱️ it was insane amazing 👏 but she was too depressed to clean the house 🏠 😢 so we were there and instructed to iron her dish towel rags!! 😮😅 I was like oh my gosh. What the heck 😢
I personally know of several young childless women in both married and common law relationships that have chosen to have their tubes tied in order to better their lives financially. And their husbands or male partners are supportive of their decision to not have a family. I'm not sure this is a product of feminism or just greed but its concerning nonetheless. I don't recall this happening in prior generations.
I am a divorced traditional Christian woman. My husband was a victim of toxic feminism, not entirely his mother’s fault who was a victim of the toxic Latin macho culture. All I wanted was marriage 101. Take me out occasionally and go to church with me. I did part-time contract work in social work and counseling and was blessed to mostly stay at home with my kids. My husband gave me hell for this. I pray my sons will be better husbands. Women do need to be educated and have the right to vote for the sake of their financial security and the stability of society. Thank you for this thoughtful video.
Don’t believe the biased, liberal media. MANY women are conservative. They are one half of the “Human,” mothers , wives, daughters, sisters, friends, and they have the RIGHT to vote.
I have 4 questions. Hoping to have honest, intellectual debate: 1) Do women love men? 2) Do women love other women? 3) Do women love higher concepts (e.g God, State, etc...) 4) Do women even love themselves?
Great Questions! I think that you can divide women into different levels of awareness just like you can with men. There does seem to be a rise in the number of self centered women recently. Marriage is a financial decision more than a romantic one for many. God, state etc... also probably self serving for many. They cannot love themselves, but they will try to protect themselves by manipulating their world and the people in in it. Again, not all, but many.
@john-griffin Thanks for your insight John. It seems to me that women just can't seem to love, maybe not even being able to love themselves, hence the rage? I'm aware I'm generalising here, but if we were to flip the questions around to men (do men love women l, do men love other men, love God, state, kingdom and love themselves), we will get straight answers
Love. If they love themselves, why will they inflict pain onto others (both genders) engage in self destructing behaviour and promote destructive ideologies? But let's be honest, men who engage in self destructing behaviours, are they coming from a place lacking self love? Just to be clear, I'm posing these questions not expecting clear, immediate answers, but to stir (honest, civilized) debates and honest self reflection (for both men and women)
"Women get lost and don't know what their role is"...not disagreeing at all but this is the mantra that has applied to men more so over the last 50 years that I can recall. Additionally i can name at least a dozen men that I know whose marriages fell apart when wifey started working ...could be other factors of course but it is quite a coincidence. My whole life changed radically when my now ex wanted to move across country to finish her psych degree. i lost all my friends family and connections and to this day live in a place that I really don't have any connection with.even my kids moved back east so there's really no one and nothing here for me . Unfortunately housing or lack of it and the expense and availability of housing in Australia is prohibitive ...I could go on but I won't. I have a relatively easy but insecure life in retirement; she's still here on a six figure income with property family and all the trappings . I should never have agreed to any of this but she is a radical femmo and I'm sure there are many guys with similar stories . I frankly hold her feminist indoctrination accountable for my circumstances as well as the general pro feminist societal ideology that has supported women to extremes in their ambitions as something normal
If she had stayed with you, you would have drained her resources both socially and financially since you were unable to find stable employment or community, women are transactional in nature, she made a business decision.
I see dysfunction with my adult daughters. They work hard and are feminine in nature, but even with their mother remarrying (assuming she expected to upgrade her choice in a partner after 2 decades of marriage) she continues to be absent by doting over her new husband and his sons disproportionately to our daughters. It's disappointing when as a father, I've done the best I could to fill the void unsuccessfully. When we know what our roles are as men and fathers. It can be very frustrating when we also know we're never going to be a replacement for a nurturing mother.
Activist feminists should just focus on equal rights for women in all PUBLIC situations... and equal access to job and educational opportunities. All the domestic private stuff, activists need to let women decide for their own lives.
🤔 "Traditions" IMHO, are expressions which served their purpose from the world we have lived through, which now are expanding in their polarised expressions in every direction (like the universe), and will continue to reach beyond mainstream perceptions into new ground of meaning every decade into the future. 🛸... Think 'Star Trek-ish,' and find the value of consciously selecting your meanings, and aspiring to maintain an open mind of accepting and appreciating 'difference' (including opposition) - while you choose who and how _you_ want to be.☮
As John told in one of previous videos, once woman gets everything she wants, she gets bored. They need some excitement, fights to feel alive. Man usually want more piece and silence. Females hava a need to talk (complain) much more then men do, and who can a stay at home mom talk to all day long, 3 yar old child or her husband after hard day of work? The man probably talked in their jobs more then tier needs require, they want peace and silence when they come home. Stay at home mom talked to a toddler or a small child and wants to complain to her husband, how hard life she has, and that the husband should do more for his family. Stay at home mom lifestyle can lead to divorce quicker than situations where both partners have a job, Job is a place where women can get "No" for an answer, get to communicate, complain and argue with other collogues. Get some critical feedback and learns to handle it. If stay at home mom has a submissive husband, she gets none of it - and becomes like a spoiled child how needs who always needs to get his way.
So well said! Precisely what led to my own divorce and no doubt myriad others. This is a "big picture" truth about marriage that has been lost/ignored for too many generations: we are fools to expect so much from marriage, and these expectations inevitably become disappointments. Do a YT search "marriage is a humble institution" for a video "Why Most Marriages Fail". About 5 minutes in, you will hear the theme of your observations affirmed.
I'm despondent. I came home from a day long class and my wife of 39 years is pissed at me. This is a class that we've all known about for over two months. But - apparently - since I was gone all day and SHE decided to do home cleaning chores (that I did NOT think were necessary or critical) that I routinely do and have no problem performing. Any way, I get the bitch shoulder because I get home after 5pm. Then she wants to show me a video of some Brit woman bashing the ever loving shit out of her husband because she was annoyed. At that point, I lost my shit. I asked her what her husband's point of view might have been. Yup, you guessed it. That had NEVER crossed her mind.
Why did my ex wife decide to put money in secret bank accounts for four years. Then she decided to end the marriage and end our business overnight without me knowing. Please explain.
It's ironic feminism promotes choice and freedom for women. Now women forced to participate in the workforce and expected to adopt masculine roles and denied the choice to nurture a family and household. We're all working to pay for other people to raise our kids. Little wonder the fertility rate is plummeting. The younger generation are not selfish. They're being eaten and there's nothing left for them to be able to grow families. It's absolutely tragic.
They have proclaimed themselves "strong, independent, and don't need no man", but instead serving a man in the home they're serving a man at the workplace. Sounds like a pretty crappy trade-off to me.
Thanks for covering the same sex marriage stats. My former wife ( who of course blamed me for everything). Left and remarried a woman. I noticed she brought all her most shitty traits with her to that marriage as well. I told her current partner. Good Luck!
It was wild to learn that the divorce rates for lesbian marriages is around 75 percent. And apparently the incidence of DV is off the charts compared to hetero or gay relationships. Really makes a guy see who we're dealing with.
A majority of people today won’t want to hear the truth, but since the widespread teaching of evolution, we have turned our backs on God. We reap what we sow. He said “Male and Female” they were created. We said, we’ll show you: people can be whatever they want. He said “Be fruitful and multiply”. We said, we’ll show you and not have babies anymore. In Genesis 3:16 it says that it will be a woman’s desire to rule over a man, but he will rule over her. The beginning of feminism. Surprised? All in the book of beginnings.
No need to go gay. Go asexual...before marriage entanglement as asexual, in one or both partners, is common in heterosexual marriages after the first few years. Middle class unmarried women entered the workforce in the 1920s. Poor women had always been working to a great degree. Then the post-war period, with the depression due to demobilization, spurred more women to be at home moms. This reversed as the 1960s proceeded till in the 1970s, middle class married women and married women with children entered the workforce just like their poorer counterparts. (see ‘Only Yesterday An Informal History Of The Nineteen Twenties’, Frederick Lewis Allen (1931), or look up "charity girls", poor urban shop girls) Feminism is a middle class woman issue. As my silent generation aunt remarked, she had all the equality she could handle, she went to work every day just like her husband. The husband she married in 1944, followed as he trained to go to the Pacific, then returned home to await his fate, having her first child in 1947.
I don’t like the use of the word “Toxic “to describe people or behaviors that you do not find desirable…… Maybe the use of the word “toxic “is OK describing typhoid Mary, but it’s you should be limited…… Right now everybody in the United States who voted for Biden is calling the Trump voters toxic and vice versa…… If I can only find a guy with toxic masculinity my heart would jump a beat or two…… It may be fine to be heterosexual, and it may be fine to be homosexual…… But very best is the bisexual…… As Woody Allen said…… “Bisexuality doubles your chances of a date on any Saturday night”….. Two famous people that Didn’t have much needed for women in their life…… Jesus and The Buddha……
Women have access to anything they want these days yet they still scream something needs to change. That just shows you the entitlement mentality.. who wants anything to do with that? Find a woman that appreciates different things and has a different mentality these days.. it's rare but it's out there
I read that in the year 1900 and before, when 90% of people lived on small farms, pre birth control, the average woman got pregnant 9 times. Maybe she had 5-8 children that lived and had to take care of them without modern appliances. She worked very hard but her life was filled with attention and drama with all those children, while her husband worked equally hard in the fields. That era has passed and isn't feasible anymore. So today women have 0-2 children, with modern appliances, and they are going to be bored as a stay at home wife. But the career option doesn't seem to make women happy either. I'm not sure what the solution is.
She hated being a stay at home, mom. She forced my oldest daughter to go to school early so she could get out of being home with her. Then when my second daughter arrived, I had to hire a live-in nanny to care for her.
I am a women and a casual viewer of your content. I rarely comment on peoples content as everyone has a right to their opinion. I want to clarify some misleading statistics and incomplete information that you referenced in your video. And before I am labeled as "a hater", I just want to let you know that I am an educated woman, who raised her children, had a career, and has been happily married to my best friend (husband) for 43 years. I get the feeling that you and your followers do not believe in happy marriages, but they do exist. I want to address your comment on men experiencing more violence than women which is true, however they are twice as likely to experience violence from other men than women. Whereas in 2023 73.5% of domestic violence victims were women compared to 26.5% of the domestic violence victims that were men. I also want to point out that we live in a patriarchy and that masculinity, femininity, and "A women's place" are social constructs. They were social rules that worked for a specific time in which women could not control their reproduction system (1960 and that is becoming endangered in some states today), could not vote (1920), and were not guaranteed the right to open a bank account or get a loan without a male cosigner (Equal Credit Opportunity Act in1974). Society has changed and so do the "roles" or social constructs of a society which is natural with forward progression. I would also like to address your statistic on the lesbian divorce rate which was taken from a UK study and not the US whose divorce rate is 34% (New York). In 2021 men received 42% of bachelors degrees whereas women received 58% and still women's wages lag behind wages earned by men. White and Asian women come the closest in the 92 to 98 cents per dollar, however Hispanic women earn 57.5 cents and Black women earn 69.1cents per dollar. When it comes to children whether women choose full time motherhood or continue to work is a personal choice based on their preference and the financial stability of their household. The United States is one of only eight countries that do not provide paid maternity leave and the other seven are third world countries. In 2021 women with children who were employed spent 2.3 hours per day doing household tasks and men with children who were employed spent 1.6 hours per day doing household chores and this does not even take into account the career hit women take when they choose to stay home temporarily to raise their children. Are there women who initiate divorces? Yes (69%)! Are there men that initiate divorce? Yes (31%)! I feel badly for anyone who has to go through this process, however if you take into account the society that we live in and the privilege that is experience by men (especially white men) portraying all women as horribly scheming dysfunctional individuals is really a disservice to women as well as men.
There is much truth in what you say, but much that doesn’t hold up either. It’s true that the USA, and UK for that matter have a very poor support system for families with children. However, for men paternity leave is virtually non existent. It’s absolutely true and an appalling indictment that the majority of violence done to women is by men, mostly by those they know. However violence to men overall is massively higher, and mainly by other men. Male suicide is also far higher. Boy’s problems are often ignored, and the education system is completely feminised to the detriment of boys. There are seen as at best an irritant that needs medicalising. A combination of female hypergamy, modern technology, and fewer men at college has led to a large proportion of young men being completely left out of society. That’s so dangerous for us all. I also have to add that’s not a patriarchy doing this. It’s a matriarchy!
And yet all it takes is war and conflict for all that rhetoric to go out the window, just look at what has happened in the Ukraine, and whilst we are at it, can we please also remove the Birkenhead Drill, next time the Titanic sinks, the blokes can commandeer the lifeboats….
As a white, self employed, married father of four who works very hard to keep the family going. I sure would like to know how I’m so privileged. Is it a privilege to give everything you have? I don’t own a house. Only have medical care for the wife and kids. Drive my work van. No retirement. Trust me there is nobody coming to help if I ring the bell. I’m grateful to provide for my family and be alive, but privileged? Nope. Also, women pick jobs that pay less. If i choose to work cleaning houses or caring for the elderly I am not going to make as much as a plumber or an electrical engineer. Since 1963 it’s illegal to pay women less for the same jobs. Please don’t forget about the draft. It’s kinda a big deal. I guess I am privileged by law to go kill myself. You seem like a very lovely lady and hope you have a wonderful day.
One of the biggest problems feminism introduced is the encouragement of sexual promiscuity. Many women have subsequently spent their prime years going through multiple partners, maybe dozens or even hundreds, and hence become desensitized and unable to pair bond with one man. Women with such a history are basically unmarriageable, as their ability to practice monogamy has been destroyed. They marry anyway, and this helps drive the high divorce rate. For them sex can be nothing more than transactional.
Great comment. Women don’t even know this today but yet know all about star signs.
The consequence of birth control technology. Shouldn't have messed with the body's natural chemistry. Women were never meant to have sex like that. They done broke themselves.
Spot on 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
💯 women gate keep sex and men gate keep commitment. With Chad she gave it up in an hour, but her future husband will have to wait until he buys that big diamond. Blue pilled dudes need to wake up.
Modern marriage is nothing more than legalized prostitution. With one, you pay in the beginning and with the other, you pay in the end.
Very important topic, A vast majority of women are not happy and end up alone at an older age. Women need to reflect on what truly makes them happy. A spiritual life is important for both men and women.
Women just want someone to pay their way until they get tired of that person and move on to the next. There never happy better off to stay single and live a happy life.
Amen brother.
The term “toxic femininity” rolls so nicely off the tongue in response to their never-ending proclamations and accusations of “toxic masculinity!!”
I was raise in progressive feminism. I remember being a child and wondering why my father coward to her demands. My father never hit me, my mother did and lied about it.

Pretty self explanatory : if everything you do and experience is perceived through your Emotions then that same perception is for ever at the mercy of fleeting emotions.
Women wonder where all the good men are. We’ve always been here, haven’t changed, waiting for women to become who they are meant to be, good women who embrace their femininity.
Exactly!!
Dont be fooled. Women thoroughly enjoyed their wild teens and 20s and would forsake marriage all over again to experience to again. Men don't want to accept this.
@@andre1987eph yep. The ideal scenario for a woman is to be able to select the man with whom she'll raise her children, and also be able to select independently the man with whom she'll procreate. The problem is that this scenario is the worst possible for the majority of men who are not Chads and Tyrones. Raising Chad's or Tyrone's kid is no man's dream. Hence the inherent conflict. Today western societies have broken the balance by enabling women to pursue their ideal scenario too much. And apart from the Chads and Tyrones, nobody else is winning.
I married a woman with an advanced degree who started on that path before we met. She finally got her big job break and makes a lot of money, but she's miserable. Apparently she's been shocked to learn that when you get an important high paying job people have high expectations of you. She is a "former" feminist and got everything she thought she wanted in life, yet is depressed and spends the majority of her spare time wasting away on social media. I have no idea what she needs to make her life complete, but it certainly isn't me and I won't be hanging around while she tries to figure it out...if she ever does.
She needs a cat & box wine to complete her life. 🤣🤣🚩🚩💊💊
When the gravy train leaves, you leave? Did you not mean your marriage vows, till death do I part?
_on the point about everyone expecting more from you_
Not only will the employer expect her to perform and have creative solutions to problems but even things that are not explicitly your responsibility like mentoring , motivating , leading (not just barking or parroting orders and expecting everything to run smoothly) but also family and friends will expect you to be there for them financially , materially and use your network to help them... It's like being a tree that is continually being harvested but not being nurtured or watered.
Am glad your ex got what she wanted and did not realize the fine print of her wish being granted 😁😁😁😁
I did the traditional family thing. My wife homeschooled our 5 kids. She became unhappy and divorced me after 30 years. I am devastated.
Sorry to hear that. Get into a divorce recovery group and find a higher power. It was help you a lot, but you have to go through the grieving process.
My heart goes out to you
I am sure she will regret it. Don't be surprised if you hear from her again.
@joejones4296 Just know you're not alone in your pain. That's why we're all here. A lot of guys here have gone through similar experiences. I wish I had an answer for the pain that 50% of women cause to loving devoted husbands and fathers.
Out of the other 50% of marriages, how many are truly happy? A whole lot less than we'd expect. They don't know what they got till they destroy it, leaving a trail of devastation in the wake they leave behind them. So many women live a lie, but I'm sure that there are women with a similar story, too. I'm convinced that we're eternal beings, and we're here to learn lessons, then we return to our source. I'm sure we'll find out why when we get back there.......I suppose I'm more compassionate, as I've forgiven my X, but I'll never marry again nor put myself through the wringer again.
Hang in there, my friend.
You're a fool that's why. You really thought this would work out?

Women are not the innocent people I thought they were. Actually, some can be really selfish...just like any person.

And to hold myself accountable, I was naive. Lessons learned.

John, this is what has destroyed Hollywood. All the movies with women as "superheros" is a turn off.

The majority of women that I’ve been involved with are largely unhappy, but at the same time, absolutely REFUSE to admit and/or discuss it.
Probably 99% of western women would greatly benefit from having a good therapist. Having said that, probably 75% of men would too.
I've heard it said that 30% of women are on medication. The bad news is that 70% are unmedicated.

@@ItalNicomorality of the story: a woman may give up on you but God never does😊
@@stephanesylvestre7143 I suppose that's true. After years of feeling sorry for myself, one day I made the decision that the only way out of poverty and poor health was to double down and work harder than ever. I recall very clearly sitting down that night, lighting a candle and saying aloud "If there is a higher power out there that can hear me, please help those less fortunate than me. I got myself into this mess, and I have the power to get myself out of it." And so I did.

She has the right to say what she thinks. Her comments about immigration and the fact that immigrants often bring the values or lack thereof of their country of origins. If you cannot discuss matters like that, then what's the point of educational institutions? Suppress freedom of speech? Vilify people for expressing certain views?
In the end, everyone is responsible for their own choices. Perhaps the hardest lesson for men and women to learn is that they need to follow their inner voices regarding their calling and path in life. In terms of women's statistical unhappiness, the ironic thing is that they can no longer blame it on men. If they are unhappy with their choices in terms of career versus family versus stay-at-home mom, they need to face the fact that it was their decision. One of the greatest truths is that following your inner voice will always make you much happier and your life much more full of meaning than obeying societal expectations. A related question which I do not know the answer to is: are women more susceptible to peer pressure and societal pressure than men? I suspect the answer is yes. Unless men and women find a way to put aside the vitriol and anger and come together, society is going to collapse in many ways. Mass migration are going to bring in cultures with a very different view of the roles of men and women. If those immigrants are able to reproduce at higher rates due to their differing views of male and female roles, then they will take over. Bye bye feminism
'going to bring in cultures with a very different view of the roles of men and women.'
In Europe they were the ones who stood at train stations proudly holding 'REFUGEES WELCOME' signs.
I think you pretty much nailed it.
At the end, everyone gets what he/she wants and what he deserves. Not many people want to be fulfilled, most of the people want the things to be their way. And the unhappyness is a logical result of the fact that the things are as you wanted them to be. =)
Great talk.

Engineers of feminism were also controllers wanting more people in the workforce, ie bigger tax base, children raised by the state with families divided and conquered and men emasculated.

great video John!
Raising kids has gone down hill for the last 40 years. Moms have stopped raising the children, men have stopped teaching the hardness of life as they did. Mom now works and divorce has destroyed everything on raising kids to adults. With 50/50 now being the possibility of staying married on the first try, and 75 percent failure on the second. Thankfully the kid birth is going down. But now we have a lot of adult kids that have never been told "NO" in life and can't handle day to day stresses. And everyone has excuses for their failures and no one wants to except blame. Feminism has has given false hope to women and they were not raised to be feminine. And men have just as much failure , as the dad they never had, never thought them to straighten up and be a man. I thank my father for his attention to his three boys he raised on his own, because a mother decided to be selfish and turned her back on her responsibility of what she had 50 percent part of making. Thank you RL, my father and veteran of the army. Love
Thanks
This whole synopsis is wrong, by stating men are failing just as much as women is to not understand who holds the vast vast vast amount of financial debt in society aka understanding which of the sexes can not manage money. The inability to not properly manage money is failure, and the number one root-cause for most mental illness is financial instability.
So I helped a woman relocate here from a less developed country, married her, got her citizenship, helped her continue her education with a degree from this country, and then helped her obtain and develop a high paying career. I did that because she said she wanted that but also because I did not want her to be financially dependent on me. Ironically now 12 years later we are less happy and will likely divorce. I have come to outgrow marriage and see it as an institution I no longer want to participate in. I have to admit as I watched her become more successful and make more money and devote more and more of her life to work and study, I became less attracted to her. Isn't that interesting? Almost like we're darned if we do and darned if we don't. I didn't want her to become dependent upon me but as she became more independent I became less attracted. This must be biology talking and anthropology etc. Talk more about that John. Thanks.

in the words of adele, "DIVORCE BABE".
50% of families end in divorce. In my opinion children need both parents in their life's equally, not only mother. In my opinion 50%/50% time share is the best for the children during marriage, especially boys. Fathers should work less and get involved in childcare, and stay at home moms should get at least a part time job. In the last millennia family was match larger - the whole village, boys joined fathers in young age. Not like today being raised by stay at home mother when father works full time or several jobs, then going to school where 90% of staff are females. Children should spend more time with fathers and other males in their lives, and if divorce strikes involved fathers should continue to be involved in child's life at the same capacity as before. Children need two parents who do not hate each other, and it is not as important if they are married or divorced.
Bingo!

maybe they’re unhappy now do to the equality gap is lessening… and experiencing more and more the man’s life
I personally know of several young childless women in both married and common law relationships that have chosen to have their tubes tied in order to better their lives financially. And their husbands or male partners are supportive of their decision to not have a family. I'm not sure this is a product of feminism or just greed but its concerning nonetheless. I don't recall this happening in prior generations.

I am a divorced traditional Christian woman. My husband was a victim of toxic feminism, not entirely his mother’s fault who was a victim of the toxic Latin macho culture. All I wanted was marriage 101. Take me out occasionally and go to church with me. I did part-time contract work in social work and counseling and was blessed to mostly stay at home with my kids. My husband gave me hell for this. I pray my sons will be better husbands. Women do need to be educated and have the right to vote for the sake of their financial security and the stability of society. Thank you for this thoughtful video.

I have 4 questions. Hoping to have honest, intellectual debate:
1) Do women love men?
2) Do women love other women?
3) Do women love higher concepts (e.g God, State, etc...)
4) Do women even love themselves?
Great Questions! I think that you can divide women into different levels of awareness just like you can with men. There does seem to be a rise in the number of self centered women recently. Marriage is a financial decision more than a romantic one for many. God, state etc... also probably self serving for many. They cannot love themselves, but they will try to protect themselves by manipulating their world and the people in in it. Again, not all, but many.
@john-griffin Thanks for your insight John. It seems to me that women just can't seem to love, maybe not even being able to love themselves, hence the rage? I'm aware I'm generalising here, but if we were to flip the questions around to men (do men love women l, do men love other men, love God, state, kingdom and love themselves), we will get straight answers
Love. If they love themselves, why will they inflict pain onto others (both genders) engage in self destructing behaviour and promote destructive ideologies? But let's be honest, men who engage in self destructing behaviours, are they coming from a place lacking self love?
Just to be clear, I'm posing these questions not expecting clear, immediate answers, but to stir (honest, civilized) debates and honest self reflection (for both men and women)
"Women get lost and don't know what their role is"...not disagreeing at all but this is the mantra that has applied to men more so over the last 50 years that I can recall. Additionally i can name at least a dozen men that I know whose marriages fell apart when wifey started working ...could be other factors of course but it is quite a coincidence. My whole life changed radically when my now ex wanted to move across country to finish her psych degree. i lost all my friends family and connections and to this day live in a place that I really don't have any connection with.even my kids moved back east so there's really no one and nothing here for me . Unfortunately housing or lack of it and the expense and availability of housing in Australia is prohibitive ...I could go on but I won't. I have a relatively easy but insecure life in retirement; she's still here on a six figure income with property family and all the trappings . I should never have agreed to any of this but she is a radical femmo and I'm sure there are many guys with similar stories . I frankly hold her feminist indoctrination accountable for my circumstances as well as the general pro feminist societal ideology that has supported women to extremes in their ambitions as something normal
If she had stayed with you, you would have drained her resources both socially and financially since you were unable to find stable employment or community, women are transactional in nature, she made a business decision.
It's not supposed to be logical because ever since Eve there has been a female tendency to heed the enemy of their happiness
I see dysfunction with my adult daughters. They work hard and are feminine in nature, but even with their mother remarrying (assuming she expected to upgrade her choice in a partner after 2 decades of marriage) she continues to be absent by doting over her new husband and his sons disproportionately to our daughters. It's disappointing when as a father, I've done the best I could to fill the void unsuccessfully. When we know what our roles are as men and fathers. It can be very frustrating when we also know we're never going to be a replacement for a nurturing mother.
Activist feminists should just focus on equal rights for women in all PUBLIC situations... and equal access to job and educational opportunities.
All the domestic private stuff, activists need to let women decide for their own lives.
There is always Dylan Mulvaney.

As John told in one of previous videos, once woman gets everything she wants, she gets bored. They need some excitement, fights to feel alive. Man usually want more piece and silence.
Females hava a need to talk (complain) much more then men do, and who can a stay at home mom talk to all day long, 3 yar old child or her husband after hard day of work? The man probably talked in their jobs more then tier needs require, they want peace and silence when they come home. Stay at home mom talked to a toddler or a small child and wants to complain to her husband, how hard life she has, and that the husband should do more for his family. Stay at home mom lifestyle can lead to divorce quicker than situations where both partners have a job,
Job is a place where women can get "No" for an answer, get to communicate, complain and argue with other collogues. Get some critical feedback and learns to handle it. If stay at home mom has a submissive husband, she gets none of it - and becomes like a spoiled child how needs who always needs to get his way.
So well said! Precisely what led to my own divorce and no doubt myriad others. This is a "big picture" truth about marriage that has been lost/ignored for too many generations: we are fools to expect so much from marriage, and these expectations inevitably become disappointments. Do a YT search "marriage is a humble institution" for a video "Why Most Marriages Fail". About 5 minutes in, you will hear the theme of your observations affirmed.
A lot of drawbacks indeed.
Well, at least the dogs are happy!
Way too much shadow banning.
I'm despondent. I came home from a day long class and my wife of 39 years is pissed at me. This is a class that we've all known about for over two months. But - apparently - since I was gone all day and SHE decided to do home cleaning chores (that I did NOT think were necessary or critical) that I routinely do and have no problem performing.
Any way, I get the bitch shoulder because I get home after 5pm.
Then she wants to show me a video of some Brit woman bashing the ever loving shit out of her husband because she was annoyed.
At that point, I lost my shit. I asked her what her husband's point of view might have been. Yup, you guessed it. That had NEVER crossed her mind.
Why did my ex wife decide to put money in secret bank accounts for four years. Then she decided to end the marriage and end our business overnight without me knowing. Please explain.
It's ironic feminism promotes choice and freedom for women. Now women forced to participate in the workforce and expected to adopt masculine roles and denied the choice to nurture a family and household. We're all working to pay for other people to raise our kids. Little wonder the fertility rate is plummeting. The younger generation are not selfish. They're being eaten and there's nothing left for them to be able to grow families. It's absolutely tragic.
They have proclaimed themselves "strong, independent, and don't need no man", but instead serving a man in the home they're serving a man at the workplace. Sounds like a pretty crappy trade-off to me.
Young women are extremely selfish. Sprinkle sprinkle 😂
How do feminists explain the chivalry throughout history , such as wmn and children getting first dibs on the lifeboats when a ship went down .

It was wild to learn that the divorce rates for lesbian marriages is around 75 percent. And apparently the incidence of DV is off the charts compared to hetero or gay relationships. Really makes a guy see who we're dealing with.

A majority of people today won’t want to hear the truth, but since the widespread teaching of evolution, we have turned our backs on God. We reap what we sow. He said “Male and Female” they were created. We said, we’ll show you: people can be whatever they want. He said “Be fruitful and multiply”. We said, we’ll show you and not have babies anymore. In Genesis 3:16 it says that it will be a woman’s desire to rule over a man, but he will rule over her. The beginning of feminism. Surprised? All in the book of beginnings.
No need to go gay. Go asexual...before marriage entanglement as asexual, in one or both partners, is common in heterosexual marriages after the first few years.
Middle class unmarried women entered the workforce in the 1920s. Poor women had always been working to a great degree. Then the post-war period, with the depression due to demobilization, spurred more women to be at home moms. This reversed as the 1960s proceeded till in the 1970s, middle class married women and married women with children entered the workforce just like their poorer counterparts.
(see ‘Only Yesterday An Informal History Of The Nineteen Twenties’, Frederick Lewis Allen (1931), or look up "charity girls", poor urban shop girls)
Feminism is a middle class woman issue. As my silent generation aunt remarked, she had all the equality she could handle, she went to work every day just like her husband. The husband she married in 1944, followed as he trained to go to the Pacific, then returned home to await his fate, having her first child in 1947.

Women have access to anything they want these days yet they still scream something needs to change. That just shows you the entitlement mentality.. who wants anything to do with that? Find a woman that appreciates different things and has a different mentality these days.. it's rare but it's out there
But your own ex wife was a sahm.. and she was very unhappy by your own admission.
I read that in the year 1900 and before, when 90% of people lived on small farms, pre birth control, the average woman got pregnant 9 times. Maybe she had 5-8 children that lived and had to take care of them without modern appliances. She worked very hard but her life was filled with attention and drama with all those children, while her husband worked equally hard in the fields. That era has passed and isn't feasible anymore. So today women have 0-2 children, with modern appliances, and they are going to be bored as a stay at home wife. But the career option doesn't seem to make women happy either. I'm not sure what the solution is.
She hated being a stay at home, mom. She forced my oldest daughter to go to school early so she could get out of being home with her. Then when my second daughter arrived, I had to hire a live-in nanny to care for her.
I think you’re confusing it with the patriarchy
I am a women and a casual viewer of your content. I rarely comment on peoples content as everyone has a right to their opinion. I want to clarify some misleading statistics and incomplete information that you referenced in your video. And before I am labeled as "a hater", I just want to let you know that I am an educated woman, who raised her children, had a career, and has been happily married to my best friend (husband) for 43 years. I get the feeling that you and your followers do not believe in happy marriages, but they do exist. I want to address your comment on men experiencing more violence than women which is true, however they are twice as likely to experience violence from other men than women. Whereas in 2023 73.5% of domestic violence victims were women compared to 26.5% of the domestic violence victims that were men. I also want to point out that we live in a patriarchy and that masculinity, femininity, and "A women's place" are social constructs. They were social rules that worked for a specific time in which women could not control their reproduction system (1960 and that is becoming endangered in some states today), could not vote (1920), and were not guaranteed the right to open a bank account or get a loan without a male cosigner (Equal Credit Opportunity Act in1974). Society has changed and so do the "roles" or social constructs of a society which is natural with forward progression. I would also like to address your statistic on the lesbian divorce rate which was taken from a UK study and not the US whose divorce rate is 34% (New York). In 2021 men received 42% of bachelors degrees whereas women received 58% and still women's wages lag behind wages earned by men. White and Asian women come the closest in the 92 to 98 cents per dollar, however Hispanic women earn 57.5 cents and Black women earn 69.1cents per dollar. When it comes to children whether women choose full time motherhood or continue to work is a personal choice based on their preference and the financial stability of their household. The United States is one of only eight countries that do not provide paid maternity leave and the other seven are third world countries. In 2021 women with children who were employed spent 2.3 hours per day doing household tasks and men with children who were employed spent 1.6 hours per day doing household chores and this does not even take into account the career hit women take when they choose to stay home temporarily to raise their children. Are there women who initiate divorces? Yes (69%)! Are there men that initiate divorce? Yes (31%)! I feel badly for anyone who has to go through this process, however if you take into account the society that we live in and the privilege that is experience by men (especially white men) portraying all women as horribly scheming dysfunctional individuals is really a disservice to women as well as men.
Lol
There is much truth in what you say, but much that doesn’t hold up either.
It’s true that the USA, and UK for that matter have a very poor support system for families with children. However, for men paternity leave is virtually non existent.
It’s absolutely true and an appalling indictment that the majority of violence done to women is by men, mostly by those they know.
However violence to men overall is massively higher, and mainly by other men. Male suicide is also far higher.
Boy’s problems are often ignored, and the education system is completely feminised to the detriment of boys. There are seen as at best an irritant that needs medicalising.
A combination of female hypergamy, modern technology, and fewer men at college has led to a large proportion of young men being completely left out of society. That’s so dangerous for us all.
I also have to add that’s not a patriarchy doing this. It’s a matriarchy!
@jantucker8600 Congratulations. You're one of the few who have your head screwed on straight. That's not the case for the masses.
And yet all it takes is war and conflict for all that rhetoric to go out the window, just look at what has happened in the Ukraine, and whilst we are at it, can we please also remove the Birkenhead Drill, next time the Titanic sinks, the blokes can commandeer the lifeboats….
As a white, self employed, married father of four who works very hard to keep the family going. I sure would like to know how I’m so privileged. Is it a privilege to give everything you have? I don’t own a house. Only have medical care for the wife and kids. Drive my work van. No retirement. Trust me there is nobody coming to help if I ring the bell. I’m grateful to provide for my family and be alive, but privileged? Nope.
Also, women pick jobs that pay less. If i choose to work cleaning houses or caring for the elderly I am not going to make as much as a plumber or an electrical engineer. Since 1963 it’s illegal to pay women less for the same jobs.
Please don’t forget about the draft. It’s kinda a big deal. I guess I am privileged by law to go kill myself.
You seem like a very lovely lady and hope you have a wonderful day.
