Today, I wanted to have a little bit of a conversation about feminization and about misandry. Y'all know I like to deal with those subjects because I don't think they're dealt with enough from too many places. Right? But the title of this, which may [music] is a little different than the thumbnail cuz, you know, I had I had a fight with AI, didn't want to conform. The real title is is the contempt global? Why men are rewriting the rules around the world. Right? And it's principally because I think feminization has gone too far in certain sectors. It's corrupted really multiple generations of women. And so men are responding and adapting. And it's so it seems to be happening internationally. Right? Men are having their version of what we can consider a a men's movement. Right? Albeit less purposeful and conscious than maybe other movements, other gender movements. But it is happening nonetheless. And I think men in many respects are backing into a movement. Was just talking to GB BJS about this the other night. Um it's not necessarily as clear-cut and as intentional. I think it's a response to the environment and the pressures that men find themselves experiencing. But it is becoming more of a conscious act the more men experience what exactly it is hostile in the environment for them and them alone. And most particularly black men. Right? So it's a it's a response to a feminized environment. But it's not a wholly reactionary. It's not just a a blind response. It's a response that that's becoming more and more of a conscious act the more men come to grips with what they're experiencing. Right? As and and there are plenty of men that have been looking at at at the issue of men's experiences in regard to men's rights for decades. So, that's a whole 'nother aspect of the conversation in terms of, you know, men pushing into this movement cuz there have been men who have been purposely doing so for quite a while. And it really comes down to this question of challenging male disposability and dehumanization. Well, what do I mean? Well, let's first experience a bit of what men are grappling with on the ground. Right? So, let's check this out.

>> I just need a man in my life that just wants to be a man in my life. Just a man. Not my man. No benefits, no sugar, no nothing. You just want to be a man in my life. For what? So, I can call you when I need air in my tires, which I've been needing for a weeks. Weeks. So, I can call you when I need my car cleaned. My door is creaking in my house. So, I can call you. Can you fix that for me, please? Can you bring this heavy ass cat litter upstairs, please? A man I can depend on without you wanting to be my man because quite frankly, I'm good off of y'all. I know I'm not alone in this. I think I'm just the one willing to say it, but as a 35-year-old woman, I'm like pretty much over my strong, independent, boss ass, bad ass [ __ ] era. Like I would love for someone to just sweep me off my feet and say, "Quit your job. Here's my credit card. Here's the keys to a brand new car. I'm just taking care of everything." Like I need dependence on another human at this point in my life. It's a lot that a man can bring to a woman's life besides just providing. I don't even want no sugar, but if you want to give me sugar baby, yeah, it. I'm literally just talking about a dependable man in my life that I can call when a girly is in need. Tires is just getting lower and lower and lower and I'm over here like, so you want me to go to the gas station and get change and put it in the air thing and then squat down by my tire and put air in? I'M TOO BAD FOR THAT.

>> You serious?

>> Like I'm really proud of myself, like pat on the back, you did it. You did it for a long time, girl, but like

>> [sighs and gasps]

>> I'm tired. I'm tired and I just want somebody else to take care of me. I'm just saying what I I have to think many other women are feeling.

>> You don't find that suspicious? You don't find that suspicious? You don't find that suspicious?

>> Listen, whoever convinced modern women they could live completely independent and never need men did one hell of a propaganda job because it was never true. We all need men. Hell, even men need other men. From the infrastructure keeping our lights on and water running to the houses we live in, the cars we drive, the garbage we discard, modern life runs on the backs of men. So it was never that women stopped relying on men, it's that they stopped appreciating how much of their lives depended on them. And it's sure, these women are still a little delusional, but at least they're waking up to reality. Better late than never, I guess. Let's hope the women don't need men propaganda dies out for good.

>> So if you want to be a man in my life, a dependable source of masculinity, please.

>> We don't care. We don't care. All right. So what you're seeing there basically is extreme entitlement. And although you you you're hearing this entitlement from two women, I think there's a lot of men uh who can attest to the fact that this type of entitlement is not limited to, you know, just women that everybody or most people would agree are are pretty. You know, this is kind of going all over the aesthetic spectrum. But the notion here, the issue I should say that men are responding to is that the entitlement alone, that is enough of an issue. And it's become daunting and exhausting for too many men. This social expectation that men pay from the moment of meeting, right? Maybe the first date, but for some women the moment they meet, there's a request for resources. And an expectation that men are going to take care of things. Things that when I was younger were reserved for wives, right? I I slowly watched it throughout my lifetime go from wives to girlfriends to women you just met. And the expectation is cash, money, but it's also repairing things. It's also protection. It's also, you know, driving someone somewhere. It's I mean the resources have just continued to expand. And I think there are many men who are just, you know, really withdrawing from this because they're exhausted. Now, one of the things I noticed, I used to have some senior scholars that would comment on my Facebook page while men from all kinds of backgrounds were having debates about all kinds of things. And the senior scholars were usually married for like 30 or 40 years, and they would come in and say, "Oh, you know, this is sexist and this is bad. You should do for a woman." And I had to kindly tell one. I said, "Look, man, you haven't been on the dating scene, you know what I mean, since, you know, the the late '80s. You might need to sit this one out." Because even in the few years between, I mean, I was with my wife for 11 years, we were married for nine. Just in that time period, you know, going from my my my early-ish 20s to my early-ish 30s, the game had changed dramatically. Just in that period of time. Right? So, we've been together since what? 1998-ish, '99 to 2009. And when I started dating after that, it the whole situation was different. If you've been married for three, four decades, you are not ready for this conversation. Hell, truthfully, if you've been married for, you know, 5 to 10 years, you may not be. It's a different scenario. And you really need to take a single man's word for what the experience has become. Right? That's one of the things I had to learn the hard way. It is a very different scenario. And because of that, the exhaustion, you know, the entitlement, the arrogance, at times the narcissism is so extreme and it's extreme not just because they're women. It's extreme because they've been socialized to believe that they are that they deserve this kind of treatment. I mean, it really many of them were sold through feminism the idea that they could have everything. They could do anything, they could have everything, that everything was due to them because they were women, not even because they were desired and pretty, simply because they were women. And they took this to heart. They took this belief to heart and began to expect that any man around them would do this. And some of them weaponized it. I mean, I've I've seen videos where women are saying, "Oh, no, I have I have four or five kids, but I have four or five kids from four or five men, so I can get four or five separate child support payments as opposed to having five kids with one man and getting one." I mean, they've begun to weaponize this attention, but the social expectation that men provide, even when facilitated through family court, is still something that's become sort of a given in too many women's minds. So, you can look at her face right now. The kind of expectations she makes. And then both of them, actually. Just the pure assumption that they're owed something. Now, these are the usual the usually the women that have the hardest time when they, you know, find themselves not as desired as they used to be. I mean, I had a homegirl of mine, this was probably in the early 2000s, but I remember when she called me. I was I was married at the time. But she called my house like late late at night and she was crying because she went to a club and she said the men had stopped buying her drinks. She had just passed 40 and she was upset. She said nobody wanted to buy her drinks. She said all they were all buying drinks for the young 21-year-old women and she was she was talking mess about them. She couldn't stand the women. She wasn't really talking about the men as much. She was talking about the women. I said, "Well, did you ever notice the 40-year-old women giving you, you know, the death eyes from across the bar when men were serving you drinks at 21?" And she said, "No, I never noticed it." Well, I said, "Well, trust me, they're not noticing you. It's the same dynamic. Nothing's changed. The only thing that's changed is you got a little older and men's attention shifted. But when you benefited from that attention, you didn't pay attention to it. So, now you said you you see it as a as a as a a betrayal, but it's not. It's just the nature of the game. But the problem is the prettier a woman is, especially if she's not married and secure at a particular point, the harder that transition is when she finds out that she's no longer in demand. And I think these two women here are going to experience that at some point. Not wishing anything on them. It's just the nature of the game. But the entitlement and the arrogance is exhausting, right? But let's check out the next example. Um and and shout out to Beast Mode Smooth. We're going to look at a couple of his videos today. It wasn't intentional. It just kind of happened that way. But uh let's check this out.

>> She might be on to something. Check this out.

>> Every time women, we try to be girls' girls and we champion a woman for leaving her marriage unprovoked or we we celebrate a relationship ending or we champion and cheer on a woman who plays a man publicly on the internet, do you know what that does to your sister? We say we're girls' girls, but we're really selfish because anytime we champion rebellion against our men, it backfires on us. Men also watch the same videos that we put out and they look at the comments of us going, "Yes, sis. You did that. Eat that up. Da da da da da. Yeah, you should have left that marriage. Happiness over everything." Y'all know that hurts your sister, right? Now, don't get me wrong. There are some women who do leave marriages for really specific reasons. But, in totality from what I've been seeing on the internet, a lot of it is just based off of happiness and being quote unquote miserable. There's a saying going around with men saying, "Men will sacrifice their happiness for a marriage when women will sacrifice their marriage for their happiness." And this narrative is spreading like wildfire to the point where men are very being very very very uh anti-dating. I don't want to say this to discourage anyone, but I need my sisters to understand that the more we broadcast our downfall relationships, the more you share a one-sided story about how your relationship was so trash or how your marriage was so trash or whatever the case may be. Although you feel like you're venting and you're helping, you're not. You're actually harming the dating pool that's out there. You're actually harming your future prospects. It doesn't hit the way we think it hits. We trauma bond together. We trauma bond together. We hate the opposite side even more. It doesn't eat the way we think it eats. So, if you care about your sister, if you're a girl's girl the way you say you are, if you're a part of the sisterhood the way we say we are, be careful before you press record and you post that video. It might just need to stay in the drafts.

>> All right. Shout out to her. What I'm talking about here is not really her. It's what's, you know, it's it's the women she's talking about and what she's coming to. And fundamentally, what it has to do with is extreme misogyny and disrespect on social media and the extent to which it's become a bonding measure that women are coming together over. Even, and I've seen this too, even with some of my students, even over issues they haven't directly experienced themselves. Right? And I've been seeing that since The Color Purple came out. You know, even younger women, younger girls who decided to respond to life and to men in general as if they'd experienced the things that they they'd seen in movies. But the but it's gotten so out of hand and I've already shown you the data over the last couple weeks about the level of hatred coming from women to men across race with that with very little context for what men experience from women. Right? But it's it's growing and I think social media is playing a role in it. And it's become very challenging to find women who are fairly reasonable and willing to acknowledge their role in the in this dysfunction. So, you know, again, another reason why you're observing men just growing very tired of the same kinds of discussions, the same kinds of arguments. It's gotten to the point where as soon as a man detects a certain level of toxicity, especially if he's had, you know, extensive experience with it, there's a kind of shutting down that takes place and it's a very casual kind of move on vibe, which I think is warranted. Which I think is warranted. Right? So, it is what it is, but I think for too many people um I think they're greatly misunderstanding, you know, what exactly uh this is becoming for men. Right? I think they they they've severely ignore what it's becoming for men and how toxic it's becoming because they're they're celebrated amongst their own sisterhood network, their own hive mind. Let's check out another example.

>> Would you live on a planet with all women?

>> A thousand percent.

>> Hell yeah.

>> Yeah.

>> Yes.

>> Yeah.

>> Yes.

>> Absolutely.

>> I would. I would.

>> Yes, I would. Yes. Yeah.

>> Definitely. Yeah, I would.

>> Absolutely. We run the world.

>> No. I'd feel very unsafe.

>> You know, only one sister with a inkling of sense. This country really, really, really has done a number on the black woman and messed the black woman up psychologically, emotionally, spiritually, and mentally. Trust me. Every black woman that says she would live without a man, in her mind, when he asked that question, she specifically envision black men living without a black man. But, if that question would have been rephrased and asked, would they live without all white men? I'm pretty sure some of them would have paused before they gave a answer, at least, and thought about it. They wouldn't have been just so quick to answer yes. The crazy part is that they actually believe that they would be able to survive without us. When nothing could be further from the truth. If not just for the repopulation aspect of it, but you surviving on a planet without us, y'all wouldn't last. I'd give y'all maybe 2 months. And that's not even to mention all of the inventions and the basic necessities that y'all would need that more than likely you would go without because of our absence. Like housing food protection from other creatures or just the elements themselves. At the least y'all would need protection from your own self because you going to leave a planet full of women and not think that they going get jealous of each other for some asinine ass reason. And be ready to kill each other because one of them is thinking about another man that the other one is thinking about. What you really have black women out here wondering where the good men are or why they're being treated that the way that they're being treated or why they're being overlooked or why they feel like they got the world on their shoulders. Because you wasn't meant to carry the world, funky [ __ ]

>> Would you live on a planet with all men?

>> Hell no.

>> Well, [ __ ] no.

>> Even though the majority of y'all ain't [ __ ] hardheaded get on a nigga's nerves we still got the common sense and the wherewithal to know and understand that we can't make it without y'all, and that we do need y'all. So, what I want y'all to do, the next time you get ready to fix your come catchers, to say, "All men, all [ __ ] all black men ain't shit." Or, "We some dogs, or we some [ __ ] ass [ __ ] or or we ain't worth a [ __ ] thing to y'all." Remember this video right here, funky [ __ ]

>> All right.

>> [laughter]

>> Definitely He definitely on one, understandably. But, uh this is in this regard we're talking about, again, the kind of rampant misandry that has been spreading. And I would argue this is spreading amongst Western women, but, you know, black folk know. Black men in particular know. We've been hearing about hearing this for decades. And not only from women we might look at dating. We've been hearing this from family members, mothers, girlfriends, wives. Because it's a feature in in in black women's culture. It's something they high-five each other on. The extent to which they can uh not not not only not have to depend on a man, but down-talk a man, disrespect a man. This is considered um you know, a a marker of strength. And for women that actually openly say they need their man, they rely on men, they trust men, you know, you'd be surprised how much how much they're shouted down by other women. It's gotten to the point where many of these women won't even say things publicly. Simply because they don't want to be outed, they don't want to be attacked by you know, other black women. You know, and I've even dated black women who were part of the sisterhood and who would tell me in private how much different and better it feels to be able to rely on a man, trust a man, to be able to give themselves over, but as soon as they get around other sisters, they'll change the narrative up. So, it's interesting to see, but this is only metastasized in the last few decades and gotten much worse, especially with the advent of social media. And I think it's become such a problem that you'll see, uh when I talk about it later, where men are going with this. But, let's check out a whole different context for what men are finding themselves exhausted and tired of. Right? So, what you're seeing here is from lawandcrime.com dated June 7th, 2026. Caregiver stomped non-verbal woman to death and then told police they would find a deceased person in her home after a car crash. Right? You see the image right there of the woman in question. Right? Right in in cuffs. Group home owner charged with deletion. Right? So, this is from uh Aleia Fortner. Um Rich Rich and Thompson says a North Carolina caregiver allegedly shocked a non-verbal woman with autism with a taser and stomped her to death before she tried to die by suicide by crashing her car, later telling cops they would find a deceased person at her home. Marlo Wallace, 59, stands accused of first-degree murder in the death of 23-year-old Aleia Fortner. So, okay, so Aleia is the victim. The investigation began on August 26th, 2025 when the Gastonia Police Department responded to a crash between a semi-truck and Wallace's vehicle. After she was taken to the hospital, Wallace informed officers that they would find a dead person at her residence in the 800 1800 block of Greenbook Trail in Dallas. Cops went to the home and found Fortner's body. Fortner was entrusted to Wallace's care and lived in the defendant's home. A probable cause arrest affidavit said Wallace assaulted Fortner on multiple occasions by hitting her with objects, pushing her to the ground, using a taser on her, kicking her and stomping her in the head. Wallace was originally charged with concealment of death from unnatural causes, patient abuse and neglect, and felony assault of an individual with disabilities. After receiving autopsy results, prosecutors determined that Wallace Fortner Wallace murdered Fortner with malice aforethought. The results of the autopsy were not made public. Since Fortner was not was non-verbal, she was unable to articulate what was happening to her. That's what makes her brother most angry. For her to be alone through all of that and then for it to end the way it did, I hate to even think about I hate to even think what was going on in her mind, Caleb Simpson told ABC affiliate. Another woman responsible for Fortner's care, Vera Williams, also was charged with patient abuse and neglect at and felony assault of an individual with disabilities. It hurts, Simpson said in the TV interview, my sister went through all of that alone. WCNC reported authorities revoked Wallace's ship of another non-verbal adult living at her home some 2 years before Fortner's placement, right? So you can kind of see the system is kind of neglecting a lot of people in this regard. Simpson was said her sister never should have been placed with Wallace. Watch who you trust. Everybody should be angry about something like this, Simpson told WCNC. Let's say you sit there and you trust the state and then they fail you like that, makes no sense. Wallace remains behind bars at the Gaston County Jail. Her next court appearance is set for June 19th.

Now, I bring this up here because when I talk about men enduring women like this, it's not always in a romantic context. Sometimes it's just dealing with them in the society, dealing with them in terms of the administration of services, right? Now, I can't speak to Simpson's race or anything of that nature and I don't need to. What I'm saying is that black men especially, but men in general, have to endure this kind of behavior as well. Right? Even if you're hiring someone like her to take care of family members or you're dealing with her in in other context, maybe even romantically, the violence is a feature that needs to be talked about in women's behavior, and it often isn't. But the capacity to commit these kinds of atrocities also gets downplayed. Women generally don't get the same sentence length that men get for the same kinds of crimes, and they're often not held accountable. I mean, what did the article say? She already had somebody, somebody non-verbal that was in her care, taken from her, and yet got another chance to take care of somebody else. Right? But the extent to which women are not held accountable for their actions plays into a lot of the entitlement we see, because at the end of the day, they know they're not going to nine times out of 10, they're not going to suffer the punishment that a man would in that same situation, and really may not even have be sentenced at all for a good while. Something tells me what happened with the last person that was taken from her care probably should have went to another level in terms of law enforcement, but I can't say that with any evidence, so I just leave that on the table. But my my point in bringing this up is just to highlight that these are things that men are seeing. These are things that men are are Yeah, even if you're not dealing with her directly and you're reading about it in the news or you're hearing about it from me for the first time, you're witnessing women's behavior, and you're observing the extent to which a lot of this doesn't even make the news. How many more are there like her that have never made the news? Right? And men talk about them all the time because they deal with them, and they're growing more and more exhausted with what they're dealing with. Right? This is part of the problem. Right? I'll show you another example. Again, I said we were going to come back to to Beast Mode Smooth, so shout out to the brother. Um, you know, but this is what we're going to listen to the first few minutes of this particular breakdown. Check it out.

>> You know what? This is a little fast.

>> [cough]

>> Story time. I was at a high school and there was a female student there with a tube top on and some shorts so short you can basically see her butt crack. I then looked at the male teacher who happened to be an older black man and said, "Do you guys not have a dress code?" There's not enough administrators to really enforce it. I said, "Well, why don't the teachers enforce it?" He said, "Ma'am, let me tell you something." Goes on to say to me, "Ma'am, I'm a few years from retirement and I don't need no problems. And the last thing I need is a report coming my way from a student counselor after I tell a little girl to cover up and she tries to make it seem like I'm being a pervert. Do you know what? Why don't you call her mother?" And he says, "Ma'am, with all due respect, the only thing that's going to happen if I call that girl's mother is a larger version of her is going to come up here dressed the same with the same level of maturity and the same disposition yelling at me saying I'm looking at her daughter." Oh, and that's not all. I know a male driver trainer that ended up training a female driver and when he did not give her the green light, she went in there and told them folks he failed her because she wouldn't sleep with him. She couldn't back up. And then when they asked her to back up cuz you know, it's like about 80% of the job, guess what they have a couldn't do. That's not all. I know the man that was in management and there was an employee who had been written up several times due to altering her uniform to fit tighter claimed that she hurt her arm and she went to this said manager as most employees do when they claim that they are hurt and he looked at her arm and touched her arm and he was then written up to HR for inappropriate touch by this said employee who was almost out the door and being fired due to altering her uniform. One thing I can say, if women continue to weaponize their sexuality in this way in the West, you're going to see politicians and officials put forth policies to incentivize the removal of women in many sectors in the workforce.

>> Yeah, I mean this

>> Now, men can't control policy, but what I will say is they've already started to adapt, which is what the man she was talking to was already talking about. He was explaining to her his his his survival mechanism, his adaptability. Basically, he's not going to report it. He's withdrawing. And I've experienced this. I mean, like I said, I've taught every level, elementary, middle school, high school, and university level. Right? I've taught at every level. And he And what she's saying is absolutely right. Men have gotten to the point where they can't can't comment on it. You can't even say, "That's a nice dress." without wondering if that might be used against you, especially if you have someone who's aggrieved, right? Somebody who's angry at you, or somebody who has an issue with you, sometimes just because you you exist. Just because you're a man in the space. Sometimes because she's taken issue with something you may I mean, I've seen it happen where a man said something at a public, uh, you know, conference. And and a woman was mad about that and was willing to falsify charges simply because she could. Because she didn't like what something he said. This is how precarious the environment has become for men. That women are willing to weaponize, right? They're willing to weaponize their sexuality and use it to file false charges. We We've already talked about it in this space, but I just want to comment on that because I've I've had direct experience with this and I know exactly what she's talking about. And the man she was referring she was, referencing was absolutely right. And so, men's response is to is to withdraw. But, they're also withdrawing their expertise, their skill, their services, and it's starting to have an impact. If you look at the graduation rates, for example, of boys, you know, mostly people tend to blame the boys themselves, right? But, I I've often blamed the fact that they don't have more more male teachers, but you got to look at the environment that male teachers find themselves in. And because it's become so precarious and they're so subject and vulnerable to false accusations and receive very little protection from, you know, the ed- the particular districts or universities that they work for. It's usually her word is kind of gold, and it's your word against hers, and she's kind of given the default, you know, kind of nod about what's true. It's not becoming worth it, and many men are withdrawing. And it's not an accident that you see men moving more toward fields that are predominantly male, including the trades, including tech, including STEM. They're moving to environments where they have less and less contact with women. Not out of hatred for women, but out of a desire to not be in a vulnerable position where their word counts for nothing, and the accusation is considered a truth.

>> This is what we're seeing nowadays when it comes to the workforce and other institutions. Now, reading the caption here, it says men are afraid. Now, I wouldn't necessarily use the word afraid.

>> Right.

>> use the word cautious.

>> Yep.

>> Wisdom. Peace. Right? Getting into a scenario where you now need to defend yourself because someone is falsely accusing you of something. Yeah, you definitely don't want to be in that situation. And based on what you're saying here, it seems like men don't want to be bothered because they know what's coming, right? I mean, we've seen these stories before where men are falsely accused, right? Now, I do want to take a look at the comment section here just to see what the folks have to say. Let's take a look. All right, so first comment says, "Had this exact same conversation with a male director within a department at a state agency. The girls will come into work dressed anyhow. He said he would rather hire a female office manager to deal with that than him. He does not want any sexual harassment complaints against him." Yeah. Um you got directors, right? You know, men in high positions that don't want to deal with women one-on-one because of the false allegations when it comes to sexual harassment. Next comment says, "I'm a teacher and got in trouble one time for telling a female student she wasn't dressed appropriately for school. Her called and complained." Yeah. Um so she called in and complained after the fact that he was just simply enforcing the dress code when it comes to uh students and he got into trouble. And I did a story a couple years ago where you had more and more male teachers exit the profession because they didn't want to deal with female students one-on-one based on the stigmas or the false allegations that um could possibly form from that encounter. Next comment says, "I used to be a supervisor and I would not ever have a one-on-one or even write up a woman without one of my female colleagues present. I did not have the time."

>> I'mma keep it 100 with y'all boys. Yesterday

>> All right. So, yeah. Absolutely the case. Absolutely what men are dealing with. And unfortunately, it's not worth the fight in too many instances. You're too low on the totem pole. You have too little power. You have too little support. Uh you definitely don't often have the legal means to defend every potential accusation simply because a woman is in the mood. I mean, we're talking about the abuse of a power that women have been essentially been given with no checks and balances. Carte blanche. She has the power to pretty much make any accusation we want she wants at her whim. And there's there's very little recourse that at at least dependable recourse that men have in the face of that. So, men are withdrawing. Now, on the surface it may not sound like much, but when you start seeing all these complaints about women being frustrated that men don't want to work with them, don't want to date with them, don't want to you know it this is the fallout of men responding. Right? But I I talked about very briefly that there might be a kind of global I intimated a global kind of gesture taking place in response to this kind of behavior and I meant that. So, let's check out what I mean here. When I talk about a global response, I mean the name of this video as I said is is the contempt global. Right? And I asked that question because you're starting to see uh men pushing back in different environments in different ways. So, as you can see in the image above us, this is Panama. Panama approves prison sentences of up to 5 years for women who deceive them about, uh, a child's paternity. Right? Panama's National Assembly approved bill 510 to punish paternity fraud with prison time. The sponsoring lawyer, Jairo Salazar, I'm sure I messed that up, explained that the initiative seeks to prevent deception and clarified that the law is not intended to go against women, but rather to punish a specific conduct that affects the family. This controversial measure arises because currently there are only civil law options that do not fully protect those affected on an emotional and financial level. See what they're what they're basically saying is that the kind of attacks that women have been making, reputational damage, false accusations, paternity fraud, there are laws for some of that, but they're rarely enforced in many contexts. So, women are used to getting away with whatever the hell they want, and most men have no protections. Now, we've been pushing over here the black male political agenda, and it does include protections and responses for things like paternity fraud, but whether or not they're actually follow up followed up on and whether [snorts] judges will actually sentence people on the basis that of that, women in particular, it hasn't really been the case. So, men are responding the only way they can. Now, in Panama, it looks like they are able to respond in this in this context with some policy, and it'll be interesting to see how this works overall. But, I think many men are are, you know, resorting to their own means of dealing with this because policy hasn't been easy to create on their own terms, right? But, let's continue. It says, "If approved by President José Raúl Mulino, the law will impose 2 to 5 years in prison and fines that will be calculated according to the person's salary. They could be around $10,000 or more. An interesting fact is that the right to bring a claim over the deception will not be subject to a to to a statute of and limitations. Ooh. Which means the affected person will be able to seek justice at any time regardless of how many years have passed. Uh-oh. Uh-oh. So, if you were lied to about the uh paternity of your child and you find out 16 years later, it looks to me like according to this policy, you can still have her arrested and charged years after the fact. Wow. That puts teeth into policy. And it it you know, ideally, it kind of uh you know, it incentivizes women to act accordingly and honorably in regard to the child's paternity. Right? In addition, the approved text details that the judge will be required to order scientific DNA tests and refusing to take them will be considered strong evidence against the person. Wow. Wow. That's deep. That's absolutely deep. I pulled up a little more information about this, right? So, it's you know, about the same, but I'll put it up on the screen so you can see it. Again, Panama's National Assembly Bill 510, right? Legislation that criminalizes paternity fraud. Right? And bill aims to protect men from deliberate deception or concealment regarding the child's biological lineage. The bill establishes the following key penalties and regulations. Prison sentences, right? Aggravated penalties, uh mandatory DNA testing. Now, it's only one step further to make mandatory DNA testing at birth a thing, which would mitigate a lot of this, right? If you actually employ mandatory DNA testing at birth, you really I mean, from here on, if you pass that alongside Bill 510, then Bill 510 would just really deal with everybody prior to the at birth policy imposed. But it would stop really, you know, cold turkey right there. Um financial restitution, child protection. Right? These are all the kinds of things that are sought after here. And I And I uh I personally support it. I think more of this needs to happen here, and that's what we've been pushing for. But I don't underestimate the impact of what men decide to do in response, regardless. Right? Even if they don't have policy on their side, what men may choose to do and have been doing in many respects in terms of social withdrawal is working. It's having an effect, and it's requiring that if not only women, but the society want men to come back and negotiate, then they're going to have to give men what they want. But here's the thing. Men have created a win-win situation. So if you don't choose to give them what they want, they're finding it anyway. Right? Whether they're going abroad, and I laid out the you know, the five different uh you know, the methods that men are using to meet their own needs regardless of policy, right? But they're going to find it anyway. So whether they go abroad or or if they do what I call a poor man's passport bro, which is basically to look for women that come from cultures that have some respect for masculinity and manhood even within the confines of the United States. But at the same time not marrying those women, just having re- long-term relationships at at best, short-term, you know, physical relationships at worst. You know, men are establishing things these things as protective measures, survival measures. Now women are often shaming men for being unwilling to I mean, we've been hearing this since the '80s. They're they're grown kids. The men they're Peter Pans. They don't want to grow up. No, it's way more complicated than that. It's not worth the cost. It's not worth the sacrifice. The loss of security. So men have created a scenario where if the law is not going to work in their interest, then they're going to move differently. Right? And that's what's happening here. That's exactly what's happening. So, I just kind of wanted to shout that out because as I said in the title, um there are things that are moving to an international level. Right? That we need to be paying attention to because we may be able to draw a parallels to what we're dealing with here and apply pressure that might be useful for creating not only policy, but social practices amongst us, even through social media that might be beneficial to improving, you know, the quality of our lives. And this is what I mean by men rewriting the rules. But I wanted to show you why men are rewriting the rules, not just about paternity fraud, but about everything from the entitlement we're seeing and casually seeing that's just reached epic proportions with too many women, right? The disrespect and the and the misandry that's become normal in many respects, um the you know, the kind of high-fiving of each other for disrespecting men, uh and even to the point where we're seeing violence and even homicide from women knowing full well or many of those women know that they're often not going to be caught, they're not going to be they're usually going to be slapped on the hand at least by comparison to when men get caught for the same crimes. Right? All the way down to false accusations. All of these things are reasons that men are withdrawing. And if those issues are going to be dealt with, then women at least need to uh pay serious attention to why men are withdrawing. If they don't care, they don't care. Men are going to be good one way or the other, and they're seeing to that. Whether it's local, whether it's abroad, whether it's monkhood, whatever method they choose to use, men are discovering new ways to absolve themselves of un- undue and unnecessary and unjust treatment from society. So, I'm interested in hearing your thoughts on this. Let me know in the comment section, and I'll holler at y'all later. Peace.
