We've ruined a generation of men, they'll hate women forever

[music] Good morning, good evening, good afternoon everybody. Thank you very much for joining me. I appreciate you all being here today.

Um, a few things. Obviously, it's been almost a week since I did my last video. Uh, my dog Walker is now 13 and a half and being a large breed dog, um, it's been I've been lucky to have this much time with him. Uh, he's having a bunch of health issues. He's not in pain. And um uh so and so far the good days are outnumbering the bad days. So long as you don't count him in whatever dementia he has staring at the wall for 20 minutes and not responding to me calling him. I still call that having a good day. Maybe he's envisioning chasing rabbits in his head.

So, uh, so there'll be a probably a few less videos, uh, in the weeks to come until, uh, and and, uh, you know, I'm trying to give him the best amount of time, uh, he can have while his time is left on the planet. So, that's part of my responsibility as a as a pup owner. But for those of you concerned, uh, good days, uh, better than the bad days. Not any pain. Just wearing diapers cuz he has incontinence and wearing a wearing a sweatshirt because he's cold all the time because old people are cold all the time. Even though I have it at 79° in here and I'm sweating my ass off. Uh, he's still doing okay. So, okay.

So, uh, feminist professor sobs, men are gone because of us. Um, this is what I'm This is mostly a for those of you obviously you're watching, but for most of you, uh, this is going to be more of a story time where I read some text. So, there's not going to be any interesting articles and things to look at. Uh, so if you just want to tuck me in your pocket and listen while you're doing some chores, I'll try to stay animated to keep it interesting for you.

This is a story that, um, if you don't know Green, it's called Green Text. It was made uh famous by 4chan which is where anonymous people can you just log on and this is where you come up with Pepe the frog and anan and all the other meme stuff was from 4chan. Well uh this is the type of writing style and then I'm giving you a brief explanation because we're going to get into this here. Uh but this is the writing style. So when I'm reading this story, which is a anonymous green text story, uh you'll understand why sometimes it doesn't sound like it's fully written out in English. So for this, for example, in green text, in English class, in English 9 class, uh get called on to read out loud, stutter through the whole thing, classmates are audibly giggling, stand up to run out of the room in shame. Okay, that's how they write. That's how they write the green text stories.

Well, this is a story that u um Tim P actually talked about a few days ago and uh he only read a couple of small snippets and it was about a 15-minute video and he read out a couple snippets and then he just went on with the rest of the video uh where he was giving opinion which is fine but I think it's important that we actually hear uh this story and he found it uh from Green Text Gems which has 4.93 3 thou. Uh, so 4,900 subscribers. It's not a big channel. Uh, but this uh, Green Text Gem video got 288,000 views, which is huge. Uh, that's way I mean, that's three times the views I get anymore for a little 5,000 sub channel. So, it is a very uh, viral story that has gone.

But I want I want to read the whole story. I want to talk about the the implications of this. And then I want to tell you what makes me so mad about this, which is this woman realizes she's in college, she's in the education system. She realizes that um that she's done wrong. She realizes that she's doing wrong to young men. And in instead of actually coming out and fixing the problem, she talks to a few co-workers. She mentions it in a few instances and is immediately shut down. And so she says, "Well, I need to be quiet. I can't say anything. Even though I know that men are struggling, I'm not going to say anything. I'm just going to let it slide." And thus where we get to today where even our educators know that we're in in trouble, but they can't go back against the message.

Um, Grock did a uh Tim actually had Grock go through and scrape the the video, which is incredible. The AI can just go instantly watch a video in 5 seconds and then spit out all the text for you. It's kind of cool. Well, I have the green text here in front of me. Do I have a good P? Let me see if I can find uh Hold on just a second. Um, give me I didn't I didn't prepare this, but let me let me do this very quickly here. Uh, let's just do a let's just let me just pull up uh let me make sure safe. No, I need safe search on on moderate for that one. All right, let's uh uh No, that's got copyright. Does this one? Yes. I'm looking basically I'm looking for something that you can enjoy uh looking at while I There we go. All right. Now, you can look at that while I read the green text. [laughter] It's better than just watching my ugly face as I read this.

Uh, but I think this is I think this is pretty clutch. And for me, it's like listening to a serial killer's diary. Uh, because it's all it I find it very interesting to realize what the feminists were thinking and then what they're thinking now. So anyway, I'm going to read through this and um and keep an open mind. Try to try to think of this as uh you being in a a student's shoes. I'm 50 years old. I I can't think of I remember what it was like in college for me. I I can't even imagine what it's like. But try to put your shoes in the sho yourself in the shoes of a young man in college today where uh teachers are against you, other females are against you, other white knights and uh bluepill dudes are against you where it feels like the whole system's against you and she knows it and she still does nothing about it.

So, I'm going to read this as the green text. So, if some of the sentence structures are a little bit off and then we'll we'll interrupt and discuss as we go. She says, "Be me, 45 years old, tenur professor of women's studies at a respectable state university. Spent 23 years of my life dedicated to creating spaces where women could speak without interruption, where our voices mattered, where we could all be uh where we could where we could call our problematic behavior without fear. always saw myself as one of the reasonable ones, the intellectually rigorous ones, published p papers on uh consent frameworks, workplace equity, the importance of believing women, believing women's experiences. I never screamed at men on street corners. I never demanded ridiculous things. Just wanted fairness and safety. Thought I was building bridges while dismantling harmful structures. Winter semester just started. Noticed something odd in my upper upper level semester. Usually dynamic, completely absent. Used to be that male students would occasionally challenge readings, create discussions, sometimes mansplain, but at least engage. Now the seven guys in my class of 30 just sit there. They take notes. They turn in assignments. They say absolutely nothing. Not hostile silence, not resistant silence, just nothing."

Now you notice she says u that men mansplain. Well, this is a problem because if a man wants to explain himself or explain something or explain how something works, women have basically labeled it as mansplaining just to shut men down, just to shut men up. And these young men have gotten that message because even she says, you know, mansplaining. They just want to mansplain. And so these guys say, "Okay, um I'm going to I'm going to just shut shut down and and I'm not going to speak of it."

Uh one kid, Marcus, used to participate regularly last year in my intro course. Smart guy, thoughtful, would sometimes push back on readings in ways that actually enriched discussion. Now he just stares at his laptop. After third week of this, I keep one of them after class. Andrew seems approachable. Ask him why he's not engaging with the the material. He looks uncomfortable. Shifts weight between feet. Finally says the readings are interesting and he's learning a lot. Press him a bit. He says, "I notice none of the men." I say, "Notice none of the men are participating." He does this weird smile that doesn't reach his eyes. says it's probably better if he just listens and learns. Thanks for thanks me for my time and leaves before I can ask anything else.

So, uh I think that's understandable. I think if uh we've seen how left-leaning colleges are now, if you're conservative, you don't speak out because you get hate. Uh if you're a dude, you don't speak out especially about women's things because you're going to get hate. And so instead of having that battle, instead of maybe failing the class, uh, guys just say, you know what, I'm not going to talk. I'm just going to listen. I'll write the paper the way they want me to write it. I'll pretend to be think I'm I'm a good little clone of the person they want me to be. I'll get my grade. I'll get out and then I'll move on with my life. So, I certainly understand how that is.

Uh, she continues on, "Something about that interaction bothered me for days. I mention it to my colleague Richard in the sociology department. Richard's 60. He's been teaching forever. Generally supportive of my work. He gets this look on his face like he's been waiting for someone to notice something. Tells me he's been tracking enrollment and behavioral patterns for a research paper. Shows me his preliminary data. Male enroll male enrollment in courses taught by women faculty has dropped 17% over six years. In courses specifically about gender, sexuality, or women's topics, male enrollment is down 32%. Participation rates among enrolled men down even more dramatically. Office hour visits from male students to female faculty is down 41%. He shows me survey data. He's been collecting anonymous responses from male students across departments. They describe calculating which professors are safe, which classrooms might contain social landmines. One response stays with me for from a 23-year-old engineering student. He wrote that he wanted to take a class on gender and literature because the books looked interesting. Decided against it because he didn't risk saying the wrong or he didn't he couldn't excuse me. Uh he skipped it because he couldn't risk saying the wrong thing. Having it interpreted as threatening or ignorant becoming an example of what not to do. Another one, business major, 20 years old, described being interested in female professors research, wanted to ask about mentorship. Uh, didn't because he didn't because he'd have to request one-on-one meetings, and he wasn't going to put either of them in that position. Position he called it like meeting with a professor was a dangerous situation to avoid."

I tell myself this is one data set, one colleagueu's research, probably not representative, but I'm start I but start paying more attention though.

Um, this is we've talked about these stats before but put yourself in if you look at the stats of uh psychology students for example uh there's several very famous male psychologists uh I I can't think of any or too many female famous psychologists but psychology has always been something that was pretty much run by men now when you look at it psychology is and I forget the statistics 75 80 85% % female is psychology and psychiatry and it it's usually I forget the the it has to do with a dark triad but supposedly uh people that like to have control and power over other people which are narcissists and people of the dark triad. Many of them are actually attracted to becoming doctors, nurses and psychiatrists and psychologists because it gives them power over people's lives and they can tell people what to do. it's in their hands whether the person lives or dies in the case of a surgeon. And this is something that the dark triad is drawn to. Well, now if a young man is interested in the field, if he's interested in maybe the the lessons that a an educated female is teaching and he looks around and he sees that it's 85% or 90% female, uh most of the professors are woke or left-leaning and the rest of it, he just realizes, man, you know something, um the odds of me trying to explain myself or bring something up or have a discussion on something, I'm I'm probably going to I'm probably going to put my foot in a mouth my mouth and then I'm going to either fail a class, I'm going to get kicked out of college, I'm going to be labeled, I'm just going to skip it. And that's why I think a lot of guys are now either moving to bluecollar work or getting even more so in engineering and the education fields and the medical fields and those type of fields that have traditionally been men are being overrun with women. And I think guys don't want to work with a bunch of women because if you have worked with a majority female group, it is miserable. You're not going to have a good time.

Uh a university implements mandatory mentorship program for junior faculty. Department chair quietly tells me there's three different early career uh men requesting male mentors specifically. Okay, sorry. the the way that the green text is written. And again, let me click back to this video very quickly. Um, you can see here that it's written in a very bullet point type of way. So, I I'm trying to I'm trying to read bullet points as English, so please understand if I am struggling here a little bit. I know it can be annoying listening to somebody that reads like a second grader, but I'm trying my best. A university implements mandatory mentorship program for junior faculty. Department chair quietly tells me there are three different early career men requesting male mentors specifically. When pressed, they gave vague reasons about their similar research interests as the men. Obviously, uh, but their research interests align more closely with mine than with the men they requested. The chair looked tired when he told me this, like he's been managing these inevitable questions and tensions for a while. Go to department mixer. Try to network with new male faculty hire. Conversation is polite, professional, brief. He positions himself so we're visible from multiple angles. Doesn't step closer when the room gets loud and we can't hear each other. Maintains this careful distance. I'm not imagining it. This is deliberate. Contrast it with how he talks to my male colleagues later. They're relaxed. They're laughing. They're standing close. The ease of it. Something starts gnawing at me. Decide to do what I always do when I need to understand something. I research. Spend weeks going through studies I normally wouldn't read. Data on young men's social behaviors, relationship patterns, workplace anxieties. Numbers are staggering. Men aged 18 to 30 report romantic relationships down to historic lows. Surveys showing majority of young men now never approach women in public settings. Workplace studies showing male colleges, excuse me, >> [clears throat] >> uh workplace studies showing male colleagues increasingly refuse to travel alone with female colleagues. Won't meet behind closed doors. Always keep third parties present.

Now, uh, if you guys have watched my videos over the last what, [snorts] six years, I guess I've been doing this now, I've done several of these where men are no longer meeting with subordinates alone in their office. Like managers, won't meet with female subordinates alone in their office. They will not give private tutoring. They will not give mentoring. They will not meet with a woman alone anywhere. There are men now that avoid riding elevators alone with a woman and will instead take the next one or take the stairs. There are men that if there's an office party, they refuse to go if there are too many women or they will not be separated from a group if uh if a woman wants to talk to them or something else because the amount of accusations that all it takes is a woman being upset with you, angry with you, frustrated with you. She wants your job position that you currently hold. Um, she doesn't like you as a manager. There are story after story after story of men getting either falsely accused of doing something or uh just made uncomfortable and HR and uh public opinion and the courts overwhelmingly side with women because women are, you know, the poor girls. They're just victims. And so guys say the only way I can stay safe is by avoiding women. and making sure that if I'm in public, I stay extremely professional, polite beyond degree, where she can never think that I'm flirting with her, hitting on her, making her feel awkward, or anything else. I've done, I don't know, of all my videos, I've probably done 30 to 50 videos on these numbers and these instances. And now if you do so this the studies that she says she's looking at the research that she's finding it's the same stuff we've talked on this channel for years. It's all very easily found. I mean I I I found it and I'm just a mouth breathing idiot out in the woods. So if I can find it, I'm sure a a researcher or an educator can find it as well. Uh but this is what men have to do. And it's not because men it's not because of the overwhelming number of men that have been accused. It's the the possibility that it could happen and it completely destroy your life. That is such a strong pro possibility that you get into trouble where you have zero way of defending yourself that men say that's too big a risk for me to uh uh to gamble with.

Uh, let's see where did I leave off here. Um, rates of young men reporting having no close friends up dramatically. Emotional isolation metrics through the roof. Cross-cultured data showing this pattern across multiple Western countries. Find research about men's support groups. The conversations happening there. Themes of fear, withdrawal, calculated risk avoidance. They describe every interaction with women as a potential threat to their education, their career, their reputation. Describe running costbenefit analysis on simple human interactions. One study includes quotes from interviews with men who've completely stopped dating. 26-year-old says he went on three dates in the past two years or two years, all disasters. Not because of incompatibility, because he was so anxious about saying the wrong thing that he could barely speak. Another one, 22, describes liking a classmate but never acting on it. His reasoning, even if she's interested, the risk of misreading signals and making her uncomfortable isn't worth what it might cost him. Talks about it like math equations. Probability of positive outcome versus magnitude of negative outcome. Negative outcome includes being reported, having reputation destroyed, losing educational opportunities. Math doesn't work out in favor of trying.

Now, if you guys uh again, if you watch my past collections, I've read college studies of where a woman said a man did something inappropriate. He did not get to uh defend himself. He didn't get to meet with the I don't even know what you call it, a tribunal of uh feminists and uh uh left-leaning individuals that run these colleges and they were sanctimoniously kicked out on their ass. They lost all their credits. They didn't get their degree. They still owed the money that they owed to the college for the classes they've taken and then no other college would take them. Now, if uh I did a story, one video on this where this happened to a young man and he sued the college because no evidence was given in any way, shape or form that he had done anything. And later a video from a bar that he supposedly did all these heinous things. U a video from the bar came out showing the woman being all over him and dragging him by her hand to the car. Another video at the apartment complex showed her pulling him into the apartment. And then she said that he was the aggressor and he did these uncomfortable things at the bar. Only because there were video cameras in the public places he was in did it save him and he ended up getting his tuition back. He ended up being able to go back to college again. But what if those video cameras don't exist? Now, it's easy to say yes, but it doesn't happen that often. Maybe not. Maybe it's a one in 100 chance. I would not go to say it's a one in a thousand. We've seen what women are many of these co college educated women are like today. Um I mean many of them are stepping in front of vehicles and stopping protests. They're throwing various objects at police officers. They're the loudest on the microphones or the megaphones. They are a a the 20somes are definitely an indoctrinated group. I'm not going to say it's one in a thousand. I'd say one in a 100 at a minimum. More likely one in 20, one in 50 today. Well, what are the what how much are you going to get out of this relationship that it's worth? Maybe gambling that if it's just to get laid. A lot of guys say, "Nah, nah, not for me. just to go out on a date to get ghosted later, just to have to buy a dinner for a woman that and then she never talks to you again and two weeks later she you see her hooking up with some dude that just gives her a booty call. And guys are saying, you know, the juice isn't worth the squeeze anymore. It's in the data. It's in what we've been saying. It's just it's throughout everything now.

Uh she continues on. Read about college men who won't study with female classmates alone. Won't offer to walk anyone to their car even when it's late and parking lot is dark. Taught that women's safety is paramount. Interpret that as meaning their presence is potential threat to that safety. Logical conclusion is to remove themselves. Start thinking about my own work, my own words. 23 years of teaching about power dynamics, about believing women, about how men need to recognize their capacity to intimidate and harm. All true, all important, all necessary. But what did those words sound like to an 18-year-old boy sitting in a classroom? Boys who are trying to be good, who didn't want to be threats, who took the lessons seriously. We told them to be aware of their power and their fear or and the fear they could inspire. We told them that women's comfort and safety had to come first. We told them the that impact matters more than intent. We told them that they needed to listen, not speak over, not assume. We told them about all the ways their predecessors had failed and harmed. What we didn't tell them was what was how to actually interact afterwards. Internalizing all of that didn't give them a framework for positive engagement. Just a detailed map of every possible way they could screw up.

Um, it is a I do agree with you by the way. Some of you are saying this in chat. It is a damned if you do, damned if you don't. Um uh a young a woman says I'm going to walk out to my car. Boy, is it dark out there. Will you walk me to my car? A young guy says, "Okay, if I do this, if I get attacked, and it's and and I'm I'm not saying this is statistically likely. Make up make of it what you will, gentlemen." But this young man says, "What if we get attacked? What if we get attacked by a minority and I defend her? I could get in trouble. I could get in trouble if I end up hurting that minority or that minority says I did something I didn't do. He said I called him the n-word or something else. And if you think that's crazy, there was a man that got he got stuck in the shoulder with a blade this past weekend and it was in Portland. I I don't have the story pulled up. I literally read it on X uh earlier today. a man got knifed in the shoulder by a black gentleman and uh it went to trial and they the defendant the the black guy's lawyer said the white guy called him the n-word and the jury heard that and said oh well if the white guy called him the n-word uh then he's this black guy is not guilty for sticking him and no charges the case got dropped. So, not only did the white guy get stuck, but there was no evidence that he even used the slur. And yet, the guy went free. So, if if you're if you're a good guy trying to do the right thing and you say, "Well, if we do get attacked by a minority, I could uh I could I could go to jail for that. That's not worth it." Uh, will she actually appreciate it? Will it get me a date? Will we be friends? Does it get me the goodwill of the community? Not really. Not really. Could she say I did something inappropriate? Yes. Uh, yes, she could say I did something appropriate. You know something? It's not worth the ris risk to me. To me. Now, the woman thinks, "Well, but what about my protection?" And that's where the young man says, "Yeah, but you're we're you're a feminist, right? We're all equal. You're stunning and brave, you're now he doesn't say this out loud because this would get him shunned from the college or from society. He just thinks to himself, "Yeah, but you keep claiming you're equal to me. That women are smarter, stronger, more capable than men. You got this. You're fine." Statistically speaking, men are attacked more often by men than women are. So, in reality, me as a man going somewhere would be more at odds to be attacked than a woman would. You're fine. Go ahead. And the good men that would like to do the chivalous thing have said, "You know something? You just following her and being with her in a dark area where no one else can see you, she might find that threatening and you need to think of that." And so a good guy says, "You know something, you're right. I'm not going to make her feel uncomfortable by by walking out in the dark with her. So I don't offer." And if she directly asked, "Maybe, maybe not. So the good guys now are leaving the women alone. Who's not leaving the women alone? The players, the criminals, you know, the the aggressive guys and the guys that would come and have white knighted and protected these women. They're like, "No, no, it's not worth it for me anymore." The women have literally chased the good men away. And what what's happening to these young men, and I'll talk more about this at the end of this, what's happening to these young men is these men are going their own way. They may not go and come right out with it. They may not say they're red pill, but these are guys that are going their own way. They're not interacting with females in public settings. They're not asking women out. They're not white kniting and offering to protect women. They they're having nothing to do with women. And it was the colleges that convinced them to do that. Not channels like mine, not people like me, not people like you. It's the far-left, ironically, making these men go their own way. That's the irony of all of this.

Um, let's see, where did we leave off? Uh, boys who were paying attention, boys who were sensitive, who actually cared about doing right. These boys went silent. They withdrew into themselves because that seemed like the safest option for everyone. The ones who didn't listen, who didn't care, they're probably fine. Still approaching women, still taking up space, still confident. We filtered for the worst ones by accident. We made the environment where only men who ignore social feedback continue to engage. The thoughtful ones are gone.

So what is what is she basically saying here, right? The cocky uh brave, outwardly um outwardly comfortable young men who which are usually, you know, conservative guys, good-looking guys, cocky guys, guys that are in sports. Those guys are still doing what they do, right? They're still hooking up. They're still having fun. They're still going on dates. They're still on Tinder shagging the women. But the shy, quiet, left-leaning, mousy dudes that are kind of left-leaning and and really [snorts] took this lesson to heart, they're the ones that are all messed up. They're the ones that are now basically turning into wall flowers. And so the the irony is the men that women like the least, which are the, you know, the conservative cocky dudes. Uh cuz they hate, you know, they hate that type of of jock type guy. At least they say that guy's doing fine. It's it's the quiet, shy guy that's not doing very well.

Uh, let's see where we keep leaving off here. Um, uh, I sit in my office Uh, I sit in my office one afternoon surrounded by these studies and data sets. I feel something crackling inside my chest. Dedicated my entire adult life to creating better world for women, to making spaces safer, to to amplifying voices that had been silenced. I believe so deeply in the righteousness of this work. Never meant for any of this. Never wanted boys to grow into men who are afraid of human connection. Never wanted women to inherit a world where half the population learned to keep careful distance. Never wanted to create new barriers while tearing down the old ones. I think about my own son. He's 28 now. He hasn't had a serious relationship in 5 years. Told me last Christmas that dating seems too complicated, too risky. Easier to just focus on work and hobbies. He laughed when he said it. Thought he was just being picky. Now I wonder what calculations he's running in his head. What did he learn from me growing up with a mother who taught him about consent and power and men's capacity for harm? I think about my nephew, college sophomore, visited last month, mentioned he sits in the back of all his classes now, doesn't ask questions anymore, says something about not wanting to be that guy. I asked, "What? What guy?" He shrugged. Said he wouldn't I wouldn't understand, but maybe I'm starting to. I find myself crying at my desk. Door locked, lights off, not delicate tears, full body sobs. This wasn't supposed to happen. We were supposed to create understanding, not fear. Supposed to build connections, not destroy them. Supposed to make things better. Remember conference I attended three years ago? workshop on addressing male resistance and feminist spaces. We strategized about how to handle men who went quiet in discussions, interpreting silence as hostility, as fragility, as passive aggresses aggression. What if it wasn't resistance? What if it was retreat? What if they were doing exactly what we asked, making space, not dominating conversation, listening instead of talking, and we interpreted their com uh compliance as defiance.

Um, so this is the this is the point that I think is important, right? And and and for I know I know many of you guys out there are are kind of saying, "Ah, this sounds like a man wrote this." I disagree with that. I I really do disagree with that because women tend to write emotionally. Now, again, this is a green text, so it's it's very bullet point, but I I don't I I I I feel like this is a woman writing this. I I do feel that much. I've read I've read many stories by women over the years because I mostly read female author authors because they're the most critical of this type of commu of community. But something that she points out here is kind of key on point that when you're a young man today and you're taught in grade school that the patriarchy and systemic systemic racism and DEI and men are the problem and men and men and men and men and men and then when a man says something it's mansplaining like she even used in this article. Um, as a as a young person, you just realize this system is not built for me. This system is built against me. The system doesn't like me. Uh, educators don't like me. Teachers don't like me. I'm I'm I'm [clears throat] kind of being forced to go through this. I'm going to try to get through this with as little friction as possible and then I'm going to just try to make it out the far side and then go get a job and hang out with my friends and just do my thing. And when you're told, I mean here here case in point when a feminist thinks that silence is hostility and silence is fragility and silence is being passive aggressive that that is how feminists think. I mean, this is feminist thinking. And so, as a young man and you you just say, "I just want to get through this. I'm not going to talk. I'm not I just want to turn into a wallflower. I just want to be as unnoticeable as possible. I'm going to do my work and get through this." And and these women in the meantime saw that as a bad thing. Saw that as a man being aggressive. Saw that as a man being angry or whatever. the the silence and the capitulation and the turning invisible she saw as as aggressive behavior as hateful as mean and here men are just disappearing. So now at least she's having having clarity of thought of you know maybe these guys are literally just disappearing maybe that's what they're doing.

Uh she says I keep researching can't stop me now. Find data on workplace mentorship. Senior men increasingly refuse to mentor junior women. Cite concerns about perception, about time alone, about misunderstandings. We fought so hard for women to have access to this men. Oh, wait. Did it did this jump back? No, it didn't jump back. Okay, so she's reexplaining this. She mentioned this earlier. um having access to mentorship and advancement now watching it all slip away as men choose protection over support. One survey of male executives shows 73% now uncomfortable with one-on-one meetings with junior female employees. They're not monsters. They're not discriminating out of hatred. They're terrified. Did costbenefit analysis and decided their careers and their reputations aren't worse worth the risk. Exactly what we taught them to do. Assess risk, respect boundaries. But application creates new forms of exclusion. Women can't advance without mentorship and sponsorship. Men won't provide it anymore because environment we created makes it too dangerous. Everyone loses.

Uh start drafting paper about these findings. Want to sound alarm. Want people to understand what's happening. Write about unintended consequences about overcorrection. After losing generations of young men to fear and isolation, show draft to close colleagues, women I've worked with for 15 years. She reads it my often expressions getting darker. Finally looks up and asks if seriously blaming feminism for men's bad behavior. Tried explaining not what saying. Tried explaining not what saying. Okay, so I tried to explain this. That's not what I'm saying. She cuts me off and say men choosing to isolate rather than learn to behave appropriately is on them not us. Says if men are scared because they know they can't get away with things anymore. Say that this is what accountability looks like and they should know better. Argue for an hour. She leaves angry. Doesn't speak to me for two weeks realizing I can't publish this. Professional suicide would betray everything supposed to stand for. But how can I not say something?

This is how this is how the the colleges and the the um the HR departments and Hollywood and parts of our government. This is what happens. They all get into this hive mindset. They all get into this hive mindset and when somebody wants to speak out and they try to, they know they'll get ostracized. They know they'll get kicked out. I mean, if you remember during the bug, right? How many people said, Joe Rogan's a good example, he said, "Look, I I think if you're a young person, you get vitamin D, you get outside and do some exercise, you're healthy, you work out. I don't think you're going to have a problem with this." Right? CNN came out and wrote a hit piece about him. Changed the color of the photo to make him look greenish gray and sickly. And then they they attacked him about horse paste. And all he was saying is, "Hey, you know what? Make the decision for yourself." But he wasn't towing the line. And they tried to cancel him over it. Now that's Joe Rogan, right? That's Joe Rogan. Joe Rogan can get away with that. But a smaller podcaster, a smaller uh content creator, they were kicked off of YouTube for saying the same thing. They were chased out of there, right? So that the hive mindset is a real thing. In Hollywood, if you come out as conservative, you might not get any movies anymore. Has nothing to do with you as a person. Has nothing to do with how you've your your skill as an actor. Has nothing to do with you being on set. It's the fact that you didn't do what we want you to do and thus we're going to ostracize and kick you out. Now that you know, at least here, uh, Trump won the the popular vote in the UK. You've got reform that on various polls and things are kicking the snot out of everybody else. You've got ADF in Germany. Uh, unfortunately, conservatives didn't do very well in Canada, uh, because Pierre Paul Povra, I think is how you pronounce it. Pierre Pvra, uh, decided to attack Trump. That didn't go over so well. So, uh, conservatives shot themselves in the foot up in Canada. But you've got all these conservatives movements coming about because finally people are like, "Okay, I I feel we've got the numbers. I can actually speak out against this." She's a coward because there's nobody else that'll take her side on this issue. She realizes if I publish this, I'm going to get kicked out of academia and they'll just fill the position with some other left-leaning person that that thinks that thinks like I do. And that's how you get that's how you get the indoctrination centers that we have today. No one is brave enough to to stand stand up and speak out against it. Same thing happened with the LGHD TV and giving these young kids, you know, all these medicines that end up screwing them up. No one was brave enough to say, you know, maybe we shouldn't allow 5-year-olds to make this decision for themselves. No one's brave enough. Now, you've got people speaking out against it. But in the meantime, you still got social media, you've got news agencies, and you have the previous government, although in the UK and Canada right now, you've got the current government that are saying, "No, that's fine. If you if you are against this, you're the bad guy." And and the way you get to the bad times is when men do nothing and you get into worse and worse times. And that's what she's describing here. She's saying, "I'm not going to do anything about it. I see the problem, but if I say something my I put my job at risk. So instead of risking my job, I'm going to allow the continuence of the destruction of hundreds and thousands of men that come through my classrooms, that come through this university, or that the tens and hundreds of thousands of students that go through colleges. We're not going to say anything. Status quo. I want to keep my paycheck, so I'm gonna let all these young men get destroyed. That's in essence what she's saying.

Uh let's see. She Where did I leave off? Uh anyway, she continues on, uh professional su would betray everything I supposed to stand for, but how can I not say something? Spoiler alert, she says nothing.

Uh, I think about the language used. Toxic masculinity, male privilege, patriarchy, uh, the snuggle struggle culture, SA culture, all real things worth naming and examining. But what did it feel like to be a 20-year-old man hearing his gender is toxic? That existence in space is privilege and diminishes others. That part of the system designed to oppress and harm even if personally never did anything wrong or complicit meant systemically conceptually heard personally. Some get defensive and angry. Those could dismiss others took heart tried to fix themselves by removing themselves.

Uh you see this is the wording right? She still says that toxic masculinity is a real thing. that their ex existence in space is privilege and disinishes others, that part of the system is designed to oppress and harm. She said this is true and it is systemically and conceptually true. So this feminist is saying these things are still correct. That's why I'm saying this isn't written by some dude like some red pill dude that's trying to fake everybody else. She's saying it's still true, but they're taking the messages the wrong way.

Uh let me read read a couple of live chats here before they disappear. I only have a couple here. Uh but they disappear after an hour. Uh Monday media says, "When do we get to talk about traitors, feminist men who still believe they must white knight feminists and women? There are bosses or politicians or institutions CEOs. They need to be annihilated. Man, you you got to worry about yourself because they're far too entrenched at this point to do anything about. You know, you can't you can't vote out a CEO. What you can do is spend your money wisely on on companies that like men and that are patriotic and like the country that you're from. Spend your money wisely. And if enough people spend their money wisely, there will I mean, the CEO of of uh Jaguar just got fired because their brand dropped 95% after their woke Green New Deal BS and everybody just stopped buying Jaguars. He got fired. Now the company's going to have to restructure. How much is that going to cost him? Will Jaguars survive? Maybe in name only. We'll see. People voted with their money. Vote with your money. uh and vote. Just vote in general. But so many times people vote, well, I'm going to vote for the big politician like the presidency and vice president. Vote for your local school board. I bet none of you know when the next election is for your local school board. Even if you have kids, I bet none of you know when it is. And if you have kids and you don't, well, that's on you. When's your next mayor election? When's the next sheriff election? Find these things out. And most people go, "I don't I don't really don't care that much. My life isn't affected that much." Okay, right now, but at some point it might be. At some point, you might be miserable. At some point, you might get the wrong mayor, the wrong governor, the wrong and all of a sudden now you've got policy you don't like, and you're stuck with it for at least four years. And they almost never remove laws once they're enacted. Even if a conservative or somebody else comes in, they almost never ever change.

Um, and uh, uh, Localon says uh, $2. Thank you, sir. Uh, no, she is publishing just in this article. A former a formal paper would never have gotten past the narrative enforcers. Well, true, but this is anonymous. I mean, it's literally anon writers. That's why she can write this stuff because she's anonymous. though she feels safe behind and so she is letting people know but you know she doesn't say what college she doesn't say what courses uh big says hey joker just as movie night ended uh the doctor walked into my area the cause of fluid on my lung was I had blood clots in my lungs gez dude they said they came from my legs and got stuck in my lungs I'm on blood meds and feel great now good leg blood clots don't sit so long make sure to get up and stay active my friend uh make every 45 minutes or an hour or so, get up and stretch your legs and all that stuff.

Uh, hold on a second. I got to get the dog here. Okay. Uh, let's see. Um, attended uh attend required faculty training on preventing SA uh harassment. Instructed on how to avoid any situation could be misinterpreted. Don't meet with students behind closed doors. Don't communicate after hours. Don't develop friendships that could appear to show favoritism. Maintain professional distance at all times. Realize giving instructions to everyone. Now institutionalizing separation didn't want uh making official policy that men and women can't be alone together because risk is too great. Formalize distrust. That's exactly what we have. They have they're now teaching disrupt uh they're now teaching distrust in the system. The FA the faculty training tells them avoid situationships to be misinterpreted. Don't meet with people behind closed doors. Don't communicate after hours. Don't develop friendships that appear to show favoritism. Maintain professional distance at all times. And the young men are doing that. the the male professors are doing it. Now, why don't female professors don't why don't they care? Because they're not accused of things because they they're always in the right. They're not worried about that. It's the men that are. So, the formal training is telling men, make sure you're going your own way. Make sure you don't interact with women alone. Don't make friends with them. Don't contact them. Don't flirt with them. Don't communicate after hours. And men said, "Okay, I got it. Avoid women. You got it." And that's exactly

What they're doing. But it's not just men's perception. It's not the, "Oh, her, who hurt you crowd." It's situations like this where you've got colleges and HR departments and other professional institutions literally giving classes telling men, "Stay away from women. It could be misconstrued or you could get in trouble." And that's what the guys are doing.

She says, "After class, Marcus finally comes in, uh, to office hours. First time all semester, nervous, keeps apologizing for taking up time. Eventually asks questions about thesis developing. Good questions. Insightful. Shows he's been thinking deeply about the material."

He tells I tell this to him and encourage to develop further. Uh, looks relieved but also sad somehow. "Thanks for coming in," I say, "wished more students engaged like this." Pauses at door, turns back, says something that guts me. Says, "I almost didn't come because I didn't want to make you uncomfortable."

Uh, says, uh, knows a lot of professors don't want to deal with male students one-on-one anymore. He says he gets it, uh, and understands why. He doesn't blame anybody, but says it's lonely trying to navigate college without mentorship, guidance, or real connection to faculty. He's trying to figure out how to be a good person when every possible action seems fraught. Says most of his friends have just given up on trying. "Safer to keep head down, get degree and get out." Leaves before I can respond.

What happens when entire gender decides safest option is isolation from every or from other gender? Everyone ends up alone. That's exactly it. This is the definition of men going their own way. What happens when entire gender men decides the safest option is isolation from women? Everyone ends up alone.

I got a button for that. >> Ding ding ding. What do we have for Johnny? >> That's exactly right. The the men isolating, the men choosing to go their own way is being taught to young men, not by me, not by you, not by the favorite evil person media loves to tout as the misogynist tox toxic male, uh, which is Andrew Tate. It's It's not Andrew Tate teaching it. It's college. It's HR departments. It's women. Women are basically telling men, "Go your own way. We don't need we don't need you. We don't like you. We're afraid of you. You You're You have nothing to offer us." And guys are saying, "Okay, I will comply with your wishes." And ironically, I think they're happier for doing so because you can hear these young guys are not happy. But when they leave and they find their group of friends and they decide to get a job they love and then they spa uh they spend their weekends, you know, uh playing, I don't know, video games and going out and getting beer and maybe a pizza with their their friends, they say, you know what, okay, like the world is not such a bad place after all.

Um, let's see. Draft [clears throat] uh email to uh draft email to Marcus telling him he's always welcome in uh during office hours. I delete it because what if that's inappropriate? What if trying to encourage male students to visit is somehow wrong? I catch myself in the same calculation that the men are doing. Risk assessment on basic human professional interaction. We're all doing it now.

Semester continues. Patterns hold. Quiet men taking notes. Engaged women leading discussions. Careful distance maintained. Exactly what we said we wanted. Except it feels hollow. Achievement unlocked. Except prize is emptiness. I like that line. I like that line. "Achievement unlocked. Your prize is emptiness."

You know, these are the women that are saying, "Where all where are all the good men?" These are the women saying, "Where have all the good men gone?" These are the young women saying, "Why do guys only want to come over uh hook up on Tinder? Come over and smash, but they don't open the door for me. They don't offer to pay for dinner. They don't even take me to dinner. They don't take me to the movies. All guys want to do is smash. They don't They don't want to date anymore." This is why. Because the vast majority of men have just said, "Uh, okay, I guess you get emptiness, I get emptiness. There's nothing I can there's nothing I can do about it."

Um, I I disagree, John Nata. That's a If you're on 4chan, you understand Achievement Unlocked. Even if you're a woman, and there are plenty of women on 4chan, I've seen the writings. uh you know, you're you're not if a woman is on 4chan at 45 years old, uh it's pretty I'm pretty sure she's tapped into the culture. And don't say that's not the case cuz I'm 53 years old. I'm a gamer and I'm tapped into the culture. So, it's not like everybody my age is is not involved in the culture. That's just ridiculous.

Um and and yes, at a certain point, we're not going to be able to believe anything on the internet. What's your point? Like what's your point? She this author has agreed about a lot of male toxicity and a lot of things that we about and said that it's actually it's actually a thing and it's actually a good thing. So in this own writing uh she's written about agreeing that there are some things feminists need to still do. That that's my point. Uh I I if this were going to be anti- anti-feminism but written from a dude, you wouldn't put parts in there that you agree with anything.

Uh, let's see. Uh, draft email to Marcus telling him he's always welcome in office hours. Delete it because what if that's inappropriate? What if trying to encourage a male student to visit is somehow wrong? Never mind. I just read that part. Sorry. Let me let me mark this as I go so I don't duplicate myself.

Uh, I give a lecture on feminist ethics of care. The idea is that relationships and interdependence should be central in moral framework. Talk about importance of connection and community. Male student raises hand for first time all semester. Everyone turns to take a look. It's that unusual. He asks, "How are we supposed to build those connections across genders when every interaction is a potential minefield?" He asks it sincerely, not confrontationally. Whole class goes silent. Realize I don't have a good answer. I fumble through something about thoughtfulness and communication and respect. Sounds hollow even to me. He nods politely. Doesn't push back, doesn't argue, just the accepts the non-answer. Goes quiet again. I wish he'd argue. Wish any of them would argue. Conflict would at least be engagement.

I like that line right there. I like that line because when you talk to a narcissist or when you talk to narcissists, they tell you the best way to get a get rid of a narcissist is to go gray rock. It's called gray rock theory or gray stone theory which is to be cold, uncolorful, plain, boring, as plain as a round stone sitting on the ground. And you don't give them you don't get angry with them. You don't get nice to them. You don't you just Okay. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Okay. Yep. Yep. And that's all you do. Literally dead pan interaction. And it drives people crazy because they give you nothing to grab onto. They give you nothing to use against you. But they it also gives them nothing to help you. And so what these the the response from these young men is to go they've gone Greystone in college. And she says conflict would at least be engagement. She realized that none of the men care. None of the men want to engage. They don't want to talk. None of it makes sense anymore. It just it's worthless to them.

Uh, she says, "Attend academic conference and spring panel on gender relations and educational settings. Researcher presents data similar to what I've been finding. Young men's withdrawal, isolation, fear of interaction during Q&A. Senior feminist scholar stands up says this framing gives too much credit to male fragility says men have always found excuses to exclude women and this is just a new version says if men choose isolation over accountability that's their pro problem audience applauds want to stand up want to object want to present alternative inter uh interpretations I stay seated afraid of how I'll be received What will it mean for my reputation? Realize I'm doing the same calculation the men are doing. Risk of speaking up versus cost of staying silent. Silence wins. I hate myself a little bit."

Um, you know, if the women are going to attack the men for being silent, like, okay, we don't want to hear from men. We don't want men to be close to us. We don't want men antag antagonizing us. We don't want mensplaining. And then all the men go away. And then what do the women do? Uh, all the men won't talk to us. All the men think they're better than us by sticking with each other. All the men are misogynist because they don't like women. All the men are awful because they're excluding women's groups. It's the catch 22. In every situation, women will find the reason why they are the outgroup, why they are the victims. Even if they create that problem themselves, and this is proof of it. If you give them what they want, they hate you for it. If you do, I don't know, the opposite, they hate you for it. They're going to hate you for whatever you do. So, you might as well do what makes you the happiest. That's really the truth of it.

Uh, anyway, she and she stays silent. She's she's starting to do when there's something that she disagrees with, she's doing what the men are doing and they're not speaking up. They're not speaking out. She's doing the same thing the young men are doing. And I think that's helping her realize what's happening.

Uh, she says, "Summer break." Oh, no. I'm sorry. Let me back up. She says, "Maybe this was inevitable. Maybe you can't dismantle the system without collateral damage. But collateral is real people. Real young men are learning to never reach out. Real young women wondering why men seem distant and afraid. Real connections never forming. Real loneliness metastasizing."

End of semester grade of grade final papers. Marcus writes brilliant thesis on feminist ethics. Concludes that current framework creates double bind for conscientious men. Asked to recognize power and privilege, which requires self-awareness and engagement, but also asked to step back and make space, which requires withdrawal and silence. Can't do both. Men who choose engagement, Men who choose engagement risk being seen as dominating. Men who choose withdrawal risk being seen as resistant. Only winning move is not to play. So they don't. He writes all of this carefully, respectfully, backing everything with sources, concludes that he still believes in gender equality, but doesn't know how to practice it without disappearing. Give him an A because paper is excellent. Also write long comment saying his observations are valuable and important. Say, "I hope he doesn't give up on engagement." Even as I write it, uh I know I'm I'm even as I write it. No, I'm asking him to take the risks I'm not willing to take myself. I can't publish my research, can't speak up at conferences, can't challenge prevailing narrative, but expect him to keep trying to risk uh by keep engaging. Hypocrisy tastes bitter. It really does.

She's now falling into the trap that she's created for the men. That's the irony in all of this. She's fallen into the same trap. And now she realizes, I can't speak out or I'll get destroyed. But the men can't speak out cuz they'll get destroyed. And and that's that's how the institutions and the corporations have turned into these places that absolutely hate men.

Uh, let me get a sip of my liquid here. uh summer break, have lunch with old friend in graduate school. She went to corporate HR, now VP at a major company. Talks about changes we've seen over the decade. She tells me about company policies, about separation protocols, about fear. Says, "Male executives now refer to sponsored junior women won't travel together. Won't um oh, sorry. Male executives now refuse to sponsor junior women. Won't travel together, won't have dinner meetings, won't provide opportunities that require one-on-one time. Company brought in consultants, tried training, try uh tried initiatives. Nothing works because fear is stronger than policy."

Says quietly she thinks we're overcorrected. Say she can't say this at work because it would be career ending. But watching women's advancements stall because men won't engage feels like losing ground we fought for. We sit in silence for a while, both thinking about paths that led here. Both complicit, both trapped. She asks what what we could have done differently. I don't have an answer. Everything we fought for was necessary. Awareness of harassment, of assault, of discrimination, of microaggressions, all necessary. Accountability, consequences, belief of victims, all necessary. But implementation created climate of fear that's eating everything. Maybe there was no way to avoid this. Maybe this is just the cost of progress. Temporary adjustment period. But what if it's not temporary? What if an entire generation grows up never learning to connect across gender? What if separation becomes default? What if we've created permanent damage?

This is why I said this is genuinely written written by a feminist because she says uh this is the line right right here uh where is it? Watching women's advancements stall because men won't engage feel like feels like losing ground we fought for. She's not worried about the men disengaging. She's not worrying about the men that are afraid to talk to women anymore. That's not the worry. She's worried about women losing ground because men won't interact with them. Men won't give them mentorship. Men probably aren't hiring them. Men do not want to interact. She's not worried about that. She's worrying that they're losing advancement because of men. That's why a feminist wrote this. Also, uh she says right here, uh everything we fought for was necessary. Awareness of harassing, uh of in of discrimination, of microaggressions, all necessary. That's how you know a woman wrote this. Because to men, do men need to know about microaggressions? No. It's silly nonsense. It's a way to virtue signal. Uh, men don't go out of their ways constantly giving women a hard time. As a matter of fact, you know what it you know what it reminds me of? I forget the name of the author, but a woman once wrote a matter of fact, I did a video on this as well. A woman uh once wrote why why why men need to stop cat calling or why men should be ashamed of cat calling or why cat calling women is bad, something along those lines. And then literally three months later uh she writes a uh article saying why why I miss men cat calling me and she goes through the explanation that they shouldn't do it but it did feel nice as a woman to get recognized and appreciated that. So she wrote the article why men should stop. Of course not all men would whistle at her. She wasn't that good-looking. And then she complains that men don't want anything to do with her. And so she misses the validation and attention. That's what women have done to themselves here. And now this woman was in corporate HR and she's now a vice president at a major company. The VP of a company realizes this has become a problem and still won't do anything about it. So you've got a college professor and a VP. Both are aware of the problem, both of the mess it's caused, and neither one will do anything about it. So, how many women realize this is a problem and are just not saying anything? Because here's the irony of it. I can't say anything about it. You as men can't say anything about it because we'd be mansplaining because we're part of the patriarchy. Because we're part of the problem, because we're toxic mas males and toxic masculinity. We can't say anything about it. So, who has to say something about it? the women and the women are too afraid to say anything about it. Oh, uh, Mark the Critics's got the image. Uh, let me let me let me copy image address and put it over here for us. Just a second. Here it is right here. The end of hisses, whistles, and stairs. We need to walk the streets without fear. And that was on June 3rd of June 2014. July of 2015. Literally 13 months later, men rarely cat call me anymore. I hate that her culture makes me miss it. See, she doesn't blame it on herself that she's a narcissist and that she actually liked it. She blames the culture for making her like it. Do you see how that works? I don't I don't I don't miss cat calling it. I don't miss the attention. It's not me. culture made me this way. It's cultures fault. Understand they will not take accountability for anything. Now, let me get this ugly woman off the screen and back to our cute teacher. All right.

Um, and they have they have created permanent damage. They have men are not interested in the risk. There's a generation of men that um are not dating. They're not asking women out. They're not going out and getting laid. Uh they'd rather hire a professional because they know the professional is of the mindset that they're going to go have a bite to eat. He's going to give her a few hundred. He's going to bang the living crap out of her for three and a half minutes until he's satisfied. He's going to hand over some cash. He's going to leave. He doesn't know. He probably doesn't know her real name. She doesn't know his real name. She doesn't know his job. He knows her job. It's a It's a safe transaction. Only in the year of our Lord 2025 is it safer to end up going with a professional than probably hooking up with a chick on Tinder that's, you know, a leftist or believes in this microaggression stuff. That's where we are. that men just feel safer of, okay, we know this is an agreement. This is a transaction, right? Okay, here's your cash now. Do your thing. Now, goodbye. And that's it. And that is where a lot of young men today feel they're they're actually the safest in the interaction between men and women. Now, a lot of men just get the the tissue box and a bottle of Jurgens lotion and, you know, go to pound town with uh uh Rosie Palm and her five sisters and uh put it in a tissue and then throw that away and go to bed. And they realize, well, I'm not going to catch anything. It doesn't cost me anything. It gets me 90% of the same feeling that a woman would get me without having a boob in my mouth. Close enough. We'll call it a day. And then they do that, they save their money, and then they can instantly uh not have to, I don't know, do pillow talk and listen to a woman blab in their ear. They can just jump on the computer and play a game and uh watch YouTube videos. You know what I mean?

Uh, let's see. She says, uh oh, did I read all of the Let me make sure I read all the the chats. Uh, no fan. They would rather go out of their way to witch hunt all of the men they found who opened up and explain why they're not interacting with women instead of admitting they were wrong. Of course, they'll they'll blame it on men for misunderstanding what the women said. That's how they get around that. I did well I may have said that, but I didn't mean it that way. Just you as stupid men, you misunderstood what we were actually saying. That's how they get around that. So, even though if you take them word for word what they said, they'll say, "But you know, I didn't mean it like that. You're just a stupid man." Uh, what I was actually saying is this, and it's just your fault. You misunderstood. It's not my fault. That's what women do.

Uh, Nova also says they would rather let every university and college get taken over by Russia, China, and whatever Middle Eastern countries they hate rather than admit feminism was somehow incorrect in the slightest. That is very true.

Uh, PTM GDH uh $15 just became a donator. Thank you. Oh, by the way, donations. Uh, by the way, guys, don't forget tonight is Saturday. Where's my thumbnail? Uh, tonight is Saturday, so we will be doing Saturday night at the movies over on betterbachelor.locals.com. Uh, tonight we're going to be roasting the hell out of Tron Aries and uh The Long Raw Walk, which was uh written by Stephen King as a Richard Bachmann book way back in I think the 80s. I read it. I read uh I read that book. It was a good book. I know Stephen King's gone completely uh off his meds and is completely woke now, but uh supposedly it's pretty good movie. So, we're going to watch these two tonight. Uh, but don't forget we also do classic, underrated, nostalgic television every Wednesday night. That's where we just pull up a bunch of old TV shows that we all enjoyed and we roast them, we watch them, we make fun of it. Uh, we appreciate them. Uh, we do that on Wednesdays and uh, of course uh, you and and and we do UFC fight nights, which I forgot was tonight, so we'll be watching that tomorrow. And football and everything else. Anyway, go to the page. Five bucks a month. You can give once and try it for a month if you want to or you can subscribe five bucks a month. It's it's not expensive. It's uh cheaper than a McDonald's hamburger now. And you can come on over and and join uh a bunch of we've got, [snorts] you know, half as many people on Locals as we do Rumble, except the chat is flying along on Locals and Rumble is, you know, kind of quiet. All right, let's uh let's continue on here. Uh, permanent damage done.

Anyway, uh, drive home crying again. Seems uh, to be happening a lot lately. This wasn't supposed to be how it felt. This was supposed to feel like victory, like justice, like a better world. Feels like everyone is losing. Sitting down and write an essay I'll never publish. Title it "Men Went Silence Be uh Silent Because of Us." Document everything I found, everything I've realized. Write about intentions versus outcomes. Write about the most conscientious men were the most affected. Write about how we filtered for worst behavior by making good behavior impossible while recognizing we've created new inequality. Write about not knowing how to fix it. Write about being afraid to even try. Finish the essay. Finish the essay. Sorry, I'm I'm uh I got to clear my throat here. I'm not used to talking this much without a break. I'm not I'm not a very good reader as you can tell. It's very stressful on my voice.

Um uh write about my own crisis of faith. Write about still believing in equality while recognizing we've created new inequality. Write about not knowing how to fix it. Write about being afraid to even try. Finish essay and save it in a folder I'll never open again. Too dangerous to share. Too important to delete. Testimony to unintended consequences. Evidence of damage we didn't mean to cause. Apology to generation of young men we taught to disappear. Confession that we got it wrong somehow even though while getting it right. Sit in the dark office staring at screen screen. 45 years old. 23 years of feminist work. Countless students taught. Dedicated life to making things better. Maybe did maybe didn't. Maybe both. Think about Marcus and Andrew, all the quiet men in my classes. Think about my son who doesn't date anymore. Think about my nephew who sits in the back and says nothing. I wonder if they'll ever speak up again. I wonder if any of us will.

It's it's pretty legit. Uh it's a it's a pretty and and this is the reason why um I do believe this is a legitimate uh post is because she still spits out the feminist BS. She can't help it. She still says these were necessary things. I feel like we made the world a better place, but maybe I screwed it up. And so I'm going to write a beautiful uh I'm going to write take all the notes and write all my conclusions. I'll put it in a folder and I'll leave it on my desk and do nothing with it. You might have just written at the top of this dear diary.

Uh, can I link the post? I don't have the post. What I do have is the green just go to green text gems is the name of the channel. It's from two weeks ago. Green text gems. I don't have the original. Uh, you know, it says 100% original content. Please read. It's hard to generate 100% original content. Uh, and he he explains how he creates it all. Oh, he's from Spain. Very cool. Gentleman is in Spain. Got 5,500 55 videos and almost a million views. That's great. Good for him.

Um, and so he, anyway, he does a bunch of stories like I do it actually. Um, which I used to I just grab an article. I grab a news article and read it. This guy grabs green text gems and reads them out loud. So if you'd like this or other uh, go check it out. But what Tim did as is just went to Grock and said, "Hey, here's the link to the video. give me a written transcript of the video and this is what you got. And then I took this and I shrunk it down to a notepad. I'm actually reading off a notepad because I'm not reading everything that was in the green text, believe it or not, as much as I'm talking. This is this is still truncated a little bit because not all of it was but I only skipped I don't know two or three two or three paragraphs.

I I do think there's, you know, it's very easy to say, "Oh, that was written by a buttth hurt dude." Women will never will never um uh admit to doing anything wrong. That's not true. I have heard women admitting to doing things wrong. But I will tell you this, it's a lot easier when you do it uh anonymously, just like just like this woman did. She did it anonymously. So, of course, I think she can tell the truth. And like like everybody else, like all other women, they say, "Well, feminism is necessary. Maybe we just got some of it wrong." And like other women, uh, I think we messed things up. Uh, we may have done more damage than good, but also it's not it's it's not my fault.

Uh, Big RD says, "There's a plugin for YouTube called YouTube Summarize. It does a transcript of YouTube page in the browser, and it's free." Oh, that there you go. Me personally, I like watching the videos. I didn't watch that video, but I I don't watch YouTube. I mean, if I'm at my desk here and I'm doing some work, I watch YouTube over because I have two monitors. I have two uh widescreen monitors. So, it's like having four 1080 monitors in front of me. And I have one of them that has the the X or news articles that I'm working on. One of them that has YouTube or a podcast that I'm listening to. And then over here uh is where I usually start building together my which tab I'm going to do today's story. I do like my screen real estate. Although uh one of the things I really like about Windows is you can I don't know controlal alt left or right arrow and switch desktops. I'm telling you, if you only have one monitor, turn on desktops, like multiple desktops. Oh boy, is that nice. You can just literally tab through desktops and your whole entire screen works out very well.

Uh, okay. So, uh, we got a couple hours till movie night tonight. So, once again, make sure to pop over to Oop, not that one. That one. Uh, betterbachelor.locals.com. We're going to watch Tron Aries and The Long Walk tonight. Uh, so make sure to jump on over there. Uh, check check it out. It's five bucks. We've got a great community. It's not like five of us that hang out there. We have a huge community. There are gropers. There are femin not feminists. Sorry. There are gropers. There are misogynists. Uh, there are are people that but I I try to leave it as much of a free a free a free speech platform as possible without like hating on people to the point where you'd make people of that community feel uncomfortable. In other words, I don't want people coming over and, you know, making fun of black people to the point where black people wouldn't want to hang out. You know, it's if it's done in good fun, then maybe. Uh uh, we we try to keep it a uh what would I a college locker room that's about the level we go for is college men's locker room talking about women sharing gifts and images that are inappropriate that you can't share over on Rumble all the rest of that stuff. Uh, but we actually talk about some pretty meaningful topics and uh we have a lot of fun. I got to stop talking. [clears throat] Yes. And you can watch me pass out. Uh, tonight we'll be doing uh Captain Rum. Uh, Cap Captain Morgan spiced rum. That is my drink of choice tonight. We'll uh [laughter] That's true. Canadian. Yes. Yes. All right, let me leave it there. Thank you guys very much for joining me. Uh, for you guys on Locals, I'll see you in about two hours uh one well one and a half hours for Saturday Night in the movie. Uh, let me get this uh uploaded to YouTube. Uh, for those of you on YouTube, get over to Rumble, get over to local, get someplace better than YouTube. See you in the next one.
