All right. What's good, y'all? Welcome back to the Onyx Report with Dr. T. Hasan Johnson. Hope everybody's well. Like, share, subscribe, join, donate, hit the like, hit the hype button, support the show so we can continue to bring you this independent black male thought.
So, today I came across something. Actually, it might have been a couple days ago that I think is far more more important than it may seem on the surface. Um and I can't wait to show it to you. But, we're going to go through a number of videos first because I want to definitely put this into its proper context, right?
So, as you can tell, title reads, "America Just Green-Lit It: The Normalization of Black Men's Exodus from feminized dating." There's a reason for this. Right? Women have changed the dating sphere, as it were, making demands that uh for the most part have gotten, you know, completely ridiculous. And there's been a cost. I mean, for years, men have just had to endure it. As a matter of fact, since the 1980s, men tried to be everything we were told to be. Cuz the the list was starting to be broadcast then, right? And this was definitely um enhanced by the Oprah sphere, as it was. You know, so the the the tall, handsome, six-pack abs, uh 6 ft tall, all six-figure income, owning property, cars, taking her on global trips, that standard started in the '80s. And there was no space for men to [music] congregate.
So, what I saw was men attempting to achieve this. And some did. With varying degrees of success uh of success. I mean, I had six-pack abs and I had a high income. I didn't have them at the same time, but I had them, right? But, some men did, some men didn't. Now, I think the core of this, and this is not what today's show is about, is that most people, most men, are not going to achieve this. Doesn't mean you shouldn't continue to strive for what you're trying to, you know, become if you're trying to meet a standard that you've set or standard that society has set. I'm not telling you not to go for it. Some of you will achieve it. But, if you look at the history of human beings or just look at human nature, the majority of men are not going to become [music] this magical standard. It's impossible. Because the standard is [ __ ] unrealistic to a degree that is beyond human. So, whereas some men can do it, most won't. And here's the problem. They shouldn't have to. Because the very women that are asking for perfection are not perfect. Case in point, check this out.
So, let's come on down here to the guys. What we're going to do is have them ask you a few questions, get a feel for them, okay? You have a question that you would like to ask?
>> Um what should you do for the next couple years?
Well, I am studying to do my SIE to become a trader. So, that's my goal.
Okay.
>> next couple years, that's what I'll be doing probably till I retire.
You got kids?
I do.
How many?
Four.
Four. I have four kids, but one is an adult and three are in the house.
How old?
The oldest is 22, the youngest is four.
How are your relationship with the baby daddy is?
>> There is one. There isn't any.
Oh, okay. I mean, I mean, we're we're good, you know what I mean?
>> yeah, yeah, yeah. It's not like anything that you
So, she's on the dark dating market. She's got multiple kids, and he's asking the right kinds of questions for that the very least. These were questions we were not trained to ask in the '80s and '90s, by the way. But, you know, this is how she's coming to the dating market, and for her and many women, this is normal. Men are starting to take exception to all of these different qualifications, but we still haven't hit the core of why I want you to watch this. Check it have to be concerned about. I really will be back. Okay. Okay.
So, you decided to pop your balloon. Um before we get to why you decided to pop, why did you have your balloon unpopped?
I mean, I love kids. I do. I coach. I work at the schools, but I like my time sometimes. I know kids can You got to go to bed first. The kid got to go to bed first. And I don't got time to wait all night.
>> [laughter]
>> I'm not offended.
>> I got 12-year-old. He go in his room, go go to your mama's house. I'll figure it out. I'm not offended at all.
>> But, but you're very very attractive.
>> Thank you.
>> My type, for sure.
>> Thank you. All right. So, they say you're a type. Why or why not?
Well, I was honestly going to pop his balloon next. It's the belly for me. It's the belly for me. It's the belly for me. But, you know, other than that, you are attractive man, but it's it's the belly. Right.
Shout out to Daphne Accountability Sutton for pointing out yet another one. And I love the way she stopped it right here and didn't say a word. Well, she did say a word, but but not in the video itself. But, still, this is what we're dealing with. This is really what it has it has gotten to. Unrealistic standards that are one way. So, average-looking women demanding perfection and completely oblivious to the fact that they're not perfect. That's the interesting thing about it. It'll be a chick sweeping floors at Walmart asking for a $300,000 earner. And looking you straight in the eye like you got a problem if you have a problem. But, this is what we're dealing with. But, don't worry. I got plenty of other examples. We're going to watch a few videos, some long, some short. And uh you're going to see more of what I'm talking about.
Now, this one's a little different. Shout out to EZA Reacts EZA Reactions and Reviews. I think it's EZA. Um but, this is the video he posted not long ago. And it has a woman kind of breaking down uh what women did in the dating market. So, let's check it out. Mhm.
So, they spoke up, some of them, and they had questions and complaints. They say, "The black man does not love us, does not respect us. Give us something to submit to." Mhm. Let's talk about it. By all means. I am a black woman, so hear me when I say this. The unaware naive black woman is the new slave owner. And just like the white slave owner, she will pick out the smartest, hardworking, capable man for her to reap the benefits of. "What can you do for me?" Mhm. There's nothing wrong with that, unless you're using it for the wrong reasons. Just like the white man, once she has sucked you dry or once you become aware of what she's really doing to you, how she's putting you down, how she's taking from you but not putting in, and then you begin to argue, you fight for yourself, then she becomes unappreciative. She becomes more disloyal. She will talk you down, walk on you, spit on you, and tell you that you are replaceable and go to the next candidate. But, these are people that we are talking about. These are our men we are talking about. Yeah, that part.
So, then let's take from that woman as well. That same woman is also the same thing that a black man does not trust. How could you marry your enemy? You say you need him so you can benefit off of him, to bring to your household. But, these are also the same women that are saying, "Well, we have our own money now. We have our own status now. We have our own power now." But, you are not using that to put back into your house. You are using that to keep for yourself. You are selfish. Yeah, that's right. You're selfish. Because you would take from that man, you take your money and go put it up. The difference between the women back then that were working that you want to talk about, cuz we've been working. We've been holding down. The difference is that the money was going back into the household. It was being combined with the man's money to be a force front, not go against your household to break it apart. That's why they are leaving. Because you become disloyal. These are the same women that say stupid stuff like I agree to disagree, but also say things like I want a man to lead me, but also be the same woman that say, "No, but I got this. Get out the way." Doesn't make any sense, not to me. Mhm. You want to say, "Well, oh, well, give us something to submit to." Better to give them something to protect. But, you have to be able to listen. And listen does not mean control. Where did that come from? Who came up with that? Who said, "I want to control you"? That never came out of their mouth. They said, "You won't listen to me." What does that look like? You're not hearing. You don't want to see. You're being naive. I said, "Follow me. That Let me control you." You don't want to be open-minded. But, these are also the same women that are not taking accountability, making assumptions, and coming up with their own false reality so they can have a reason to justify the behaviors that they are putting out to disrespect you men. Maybe black women might as well be the new KKK with that booty lace front wigs and manicured nails. Why do I say that? Hm? Because you are still supporting the opposing team if you are against our men. If you can find a reason to argue with me for protecting our men, you tell me how you are not the opp. Nobody told you not to be strong. You just being strong for the wrong people. Nobody told you not to have a voice. You're just using it against the wrong person. Yes, be strong. Yes, be passionate. But, for your equal, not against our own men. What part learn? If we lose our king, game over. You have power, but you're using it for the wrong thing. They're giving us the rope to hang ourselves, giving us our assistance and money, anything to make us feel powerful, telling us to pretty much forget everything they do for us. Telling us that he doesn't matter. Telling us that we are more important than our men. If you made it this far, hit that like button and leave a comment to trigger YouTube's algorithm. So, hit that subscribe button and hit that bell to let you know every time I upload a new video. You take the bait. You take the bait. You do. And then after you take the bait, you do the dirty work. You start feeling yourself. Instead of taking that money that you're available to make to combine it, you're keeping it to yourself. Instead of uplifting that black man, you are talking down to that black man. Yeah. You want that man to protect you. You want that man to love you. But, you won't be loyal to him. You won't respect him. You want to yell at him. You want to call him out of his name. You don't want to learn from him. You don't want to hear him. You want to talk about all the things that hardship that we women went through. Well, in the past we were in the house and we were doing this and we were working. They was outside working, too. We was only getting paid this much and it was going right back into the house. It was working to put into the house. We've been working. But, who are we working for? That's the question. Shh. There was so many things that was brought up that it just bothers me. You want to talk about child support. That's a scam and a hustle. You know damn well them kids don't see that money. These are also the same women that's pretty much saying, "Oh, we don't need black men." But, you're asking for his money. Now, these are also women that purposely get pregnant or have control over getting pregnant and then decided, "Well, I want to enslave the black man to me. So, no matter how far he gets, he still owes me money. The government tells you he owes you money." But, if you really cared about that man, spending time with his children, loving his children, putting it to his children, you would beg the government you would beg the government to make him pay time and not money. But, it's because you are benefiting off that money, which is why you are pushing so hard for it. Your closet is full of clothes. You have so many different items, accessories, cars. The child's closet is empty. The child is hungry. The child has needs. I have yet to see that child have a better education, live in a better neighborhood. I want to see that child benefit, not you. You've been living off the black man's money. So, which is it? Are you for us? Are you against us? Because it's really starting to look like you want a debt relief program and a sponsorship. You want to use the black man, but you do not want to support the black man, but you want him to support and protect you. The black man is not against us. He is protecting himself from a bunch of snakes. Because the moment we feel [music] emotions of you're not doing enough of what I say, you're not doing enough of what I want, I'm going to be disloyal to you. I'm going to sell you out to them. I'm going to call them to come get you, to enslave you even more, to make your life even harder, and not realizing that I am putting myself in the hole to fall down with you. Because at the end of the day, the white man is not our king. The black man is. If the black man fails, we fail, too. We are a reflection of our king. We are a reflection of them. And they are a reflection of us. So, why are we going [music] against our own household? Why are we going against our own men? If you can find a way to argue with me for protecting our black men, if you can find a way to feel some kind of way because I love our black men, if you are so stuck on yourself, on what I got, and what I need, all I'm hearing out your mouth is I. Now, what do you guys think? Do you agree?
So, first video you saw was the the the aesthetic double standard. Second video, she was explaining what exactly women have been doing. Check this one out. Shout out to Jaeda Black. First the second person in an apparent domestic dispute where the killer shot down another man execution style. According to arrest documents, the second person charged was the victim's former lover who ordered his killing. David Henry was
>> Ordered his killing. This picture of victim Anthony Wesley Junior shows his love of family. He was a great guy. Like I like I said, um Oh, there's the cause right there. This is his girlfriend. This is the I guess this is the new girlfriend. This The one thing that triggers these baby mamas the most is when you move on to another girlfriend. They just can't stand Even though she had a new boyfriend, she don't want you to move on to another woman. Y'all see how sick these women are? You almost have to move to a another state across the country when you break up with these heifers, man. Cuz if you move on, she's going to be triggered. Yeah, this one two weeks ago. Everyone loved Kenny. It was nothing There's nothing much bad to say because you know how you say, you know, you you pray for a certain type of man and you finally get it? That That's what it was. He's betting Rufe Sheriff investigators arrested Ludwick Franklin for shooting Wesley in the back. Look at this sucker. Look at him. Look at this sucker. You threw your life away for what? When I see stories like this, I know you dudes don't get girls like that. I know y'all don't. Because if you were a real man, you're not getting pressured into doing nothing. But, he probably needed a place to stay cuz he's probably homeless. Needed a place to stay. He didn't want to be homeless again. So, he just does whatever she tells him. Make it Now, this Now, this guy's definitely embarrassing black men.
>> [laughter]
>> Now, he's doing I Now, he Now, you She's going to say, you know, embarrassing black men. Now, this is definitely embarrassing race. On March 29th at the Jefferson Square Apartments. Then documents say Franklin stood over Wesley and fired several more Stood over him. He stood over him. Oh, yeah, you're going to prison for a long time, buddy. You're going to Angola for a long time. You stood over him and took his life. You're definitely going to Angola. times. For Harris, she says she'll never forget witnessing that scene times at the Oaks Apartments. Then documents say Franklin stood over Wesley and fired several more times. For Harris, she says she'll never forget witnessing that scene. Um well, it happened in front of my you know, our apartment. So, you know, I was I was out. I'm trying to find out if there's seats. The image everything. Investigator This dude did this in broad daylight in front of witnesses. YJ, don't forget about that female that killed her husband in front of her kids. Then SB Live. Yeah. That was in my city, Columbus, Miss. Appreciate that, YJG. YGJ, excuse me. YGJ forever. This is crazy. In front of witnesses. In front of witnesses where people can see you, bro. All because you you weak in the knees for a heifer? This is why the red pill mindset is is a threat. Because we would we would definitely clean cleanse the simp this this erratic simp behavior out of men. Absolutely. And but that
All right. So, basically, if you missed it, you have a woman who set her new boyfriend, sent him, pit bulled him, really, to go [music] kill her ex-boyfriend because he has a new woman. And apparently, it was uh the task was accomplished. Right? So, shout out to Jaeda Black. Here's another. I'm going to explain to you why I'm playing these in a minute. Only our cameras are there when 44-year-old Stephanie Demetrius appeared virtually before a judge accused of hiring a teenage student to gun down her husband. Well, is this juvenile out involved in this case? If you have any in the back, I'll have your attorney have a discussion with you, okay? Police tell us Demetrius, a teacher at the Academy for Urban Scholars High School, offered 2 grand to the unidentified boy to shoot and kill her estranged husband. This particular teacher was attempting to groom this young person into committing murder. Court documents show Columbus police have a recorded conversation between Demetrius and the teen where she tells him when her husband would be home, but their four children would not. Police say she paid that teen a $250 down payment last week. We're unsure of the specific reason as to why this teacher chose this particular student. >> Investigators learning about the alleged murder-for-hire plot when the teen's mother found something on his phone and called police. Without their help, some of this may not have come completely to light. And this was a situation where the parent was able to capture things inside of this young person's phone to alert authorities. Demetrius and her husband were married in 2004 and had been going through a divorce. Police say in the past, she's been accused of trying to stab her husband, run him over, and even set the home on fire. We tried to contact him at his home, but no one answered the door. During the court hearing, Demetrius denied the allegations calling them fabricated. It's extremely bizarre and it's unfortunate that [music] this particular suspect put such a low value on someone else's life. On your side, Steve Levine, Fox 28 News.
All right. All right? Uh last video I'm going to show comes from Manosphere Highlights Daily. All right? Show I watch pretty regularly. Check this out. Guys, Lost Boys, but a new poll just dropped. And it says something completely different. >> Scarlett, you conducted um the exclusive polling for this piece. And it There were some really fascinating results. One of the starkest findings was how negatively young women feel towards men compared with the other way around. Young women are radicalizing faster than young men. They're moving hard left, rejecting men, rejecting children, rejecting capitalism, and they are miserable. Let's show you what they found. Can you unpack some of the stats for us, please? Yeah, I think out of everything we found, this is what jumped out the most to me. Um I think we're we're very used to hearing about young men's negative views of young women's um and sort of you know, misogyny amongst young men. Um but, this really struck me because we found that, you know, 72% of young men have a favorable view of young women. 7% So, not very many, really. Um have an unfavorable view of young women. Um when it comes to women under 30, though, 50 only 50% have a favorable view. The unfavorable view of men goes up to 21%. And then under 25 women, it's just 35% of young women who have a favorable view of men. And if you go into very favorable, we actually use positive rather than favorable, but if you say very positive, it's just 11% of under 25 women. So, we are looking um at an environment where young women feel um a lot more negatively towards young men than the other way around. Boom. Let's put this on the screen so we can digest it. Janice read. Young women with positive view of men, 35%. Young women with very positive view, 11%. Women under 30 with negative view versus over 30s, 3x more likely. Young men with favorable view of young women, 72%. Look at these numbers, gentlemen. She said it perfectly. Um I think we're we're very used to hearing about young men's negative views of young women's um and sort of you know, misogyny amongst young men. This is the result of women growing up with Netflix, female teachers, mainstream media, all telling them men are toxic, men are bumbling buffoons, but a blind eye to toxic femininity, misandry. The Manosphere calls it out, and the media calls it misogyny. Yet, 72% of young men have a favorable view of young women. 72% after being called toxic, after being blamed, after being dismissed, they still don't hate women. That's not misogyny. That's grace. And we need to dive deeper into what favorable and negative actually mean. It's really interesting cuz I think if you sort of as a casual observer of some of the discourse about sort of gender politics and particularly the Manosphere, you'd assume that this sort of rift between young women and amongst young men was driven by young men's opinions and behavior towards women. Perhaps it's We'll get more into the reasons behind some of these these these figures. But, really, I mean, it's much more stark on the side of of of women's attitudes. Yeah. Told you so. Don't stop. Exactly. And it's not even reciprocated, you know, on the young men's side. It really is unbalanced um with young women feel feeling much more negatively than young men. Yeah. And Emily, you spent a lot of time with this demographic of young women for your feature. Um how was this negativity towards men shaping their lives? How did it come out when you were speaking to them? Um I was really really surprised by how negatively they spoke about men. And I mean, some of them still had boyfriends and still were dating, although some of them were even quite negative about the men they WERE DATING. WHAT? THE FOOLISHNESS. NOW, LISTEN TO THIS PART CAREFULLY. Even women in relationships are speaking negatively about their own boyfriends. So, this isn't just about bad experiences. This is a mindset. We all know these modern women cannot justify why a man should give them the world. And we all know the men these women are complaining about are part of the top 10 20% because the average man is invisible. That explains why 72% of young men have a favorable view of young women. Most of them don't interact with them, anyway. Hard to hate what you never get close to. One girl I spoke to was like, "I can't imagine my boyfriend at the pub with his friends talking about political issues." Whereas, that's basically all men.
All right. So, what are we exactly talking about here? All right? Just a quick uh run through. So, we've seen uh unfair uh one-sided aesthetic standards, double standards, in fact, in terms of uh what's considered acceptable, right? Especially from average women look average-looking women in regard to average-looking men. You have um the black woman that gets up and explains in detail what she believes and what many have experienced uh black men women's methods have been to tear down black men for their own purposes. Right? We saw a man who was uh pretty much sent by his woman to go kill her ex because uh the ex moved on and got a new girlfriend. Right? We saw a teacher hire an underage boy to kill her husband, someone apparently she's trying to kill several times. Um and then of course we get this incredible breakdown of a new poll that was released that that outlines how much more women actually hate men. And despite all of the rhetoric about the manosphere, you know, um it's actually such that the women are the ones that actually have more frustration to for men than the other way around. Right? So what why do I show all of these? Well, there's something interesting interesting that that's taken place. So as I said before, this popped up in my desk and I thought it was important to check take a look at. Now this is an article that came out on The Economist. Right? Strangely enough it's in their culture babe watch area. I can't say that's something I was familiar with. But it's something that came out very recently. And and what it reads is Western men are going abroad to find traditional wives. Frustration with modern dating has fueled the rise of passport bros. Now, we've seen this kind of thing happen before. We've seen articles, we've seen essays, we've seen video clips, we've seen interviews where essentially the left and women in particular begin to trash, you know, men's uh dating strategies, which are really a response. And this is what a lot of people forget about. Men's dating strategies, whether it's to go monk, whether it's to date internationally, whether it's to date interracially or inter uh in interculturally, all of these are dating responses to a market that is hostile to men, most particularly black men. But it's never put in the framework of a response. It's just treated as an oppressive um you know, just kind of a decision that men made. And and the going perception of passport bros is that it's all about um you know, prostitutes. Right? That's the going idea. But I've met men who have married women abroad. I've met men who found long-term girlfriends and relationships, who've had kids. So it it's actually the entire spectrum of relationships from sexual to married with children. And men who are looking for the same thing they've always been looking for. I mean, the same spectrum is here within the boundaries of the United States. So if prostitution is an issue, I don't know why it's an issue now. It was something that's been going on for the longest here as well. But going abroad, you have men looking for all kinds of things. But this article is one of the first mainstream productions that I saw that did not actually malign passport bros. It's not a long article, so I'll read it through for you. Uh but you can see it's it's dated April 16th, 2026 and it's framed from Da Nang, Vietnam. Right? And it uh says a few years ago Mike got fed up with dating in America. So many women there uh have been brainwashed to think it's okay to treat men like crap, he says. He could work remotely, so he moved to Thailand where his money stretched further and he met the sort of women he was seeking. He's now engaged to a Thai woman, Paphon. Both asked for their her names to be withheld. The couple often posts videos Uh hold on, let me put this on the screen. My bad. So you can see the title just real quick. I thought it was on on the screen already, but right there in The Economist. Right? Um All right, so the the couple often posts videos of uh for their thousands of followers. In one viral clip captioned "Point of View, You Have a Thai Girlfriend", Paphon kneels on the floor clipping Mike's nails. He [music] says his followers are mostly American men, many of them in awe of how she caters to them. Now I'm not going to say this article is uh is a 100% humanistic. It has its agenda, but it's far more softened. Right? It's far more softened compared to other productions that attempt to frame anything red pill or manosphere based as a problem. Right? So anyway, uh Mike is one of a rising number of {quote} "passport bros", young Western men who travel abroad in search of better dating prospects. Online forums, YouTube channels and TikTok accounts rank countries according to their women, advising which are the most feminine, traditional and likely to pamper men. Now see, they put their little digs in. Pamper. You know, that's a dig. Couldn't be that he actually was just looking for someone who was nice and wasn't going to take him for granted. Or he was looking for a woman who was raised in a culture that appreciates masculinity as opposed to uh finding it to be inherently toxic. See, that that's how you can tell that they still haven't made the transformation. But you'll notice how much more soft this approach is and I think there's a reason for it. "Thailand, Brazil, Colombia and the Philippines and Vietnam are among the most popular. It's the ultimate life hack in 2026", says Austin Abeyta, a passport bro in Da Nang, Vietnam. Now, they're they're more than likely following white passport [music] bros because even though a lot of these countries black men travel to as well, there's no question, especially if you talk about Brazil, Colombia and Thailand. But let's not also forget black men go to the the Caribbean, black men go to Africa, you know, brothers are going around the world. Uh anyway, if if all this sounds like the 1950s have collided with modern manosphere, where dating frustrations translate into broader grievances about women online, you're not wrong. Men rejecting American women for not offering what they value isn't new, says Beth Bailey, a notice which historians they interview. Right? Beth Bailey, a historian at Cambridge, American women's roles changing during the Second World War as millions entered the workforce. Some veterans sought more traditional partners abroad. Almost 100,000 married foreign foreign women, says Ms. Bailey. Other men uh sought mail order bride arrangements. In the case of passport bros, they do not bring women to America, but instead travel overseas themselves, aided by remote work and digital nomad visas. Right? Now you can you can also tell who they're talking about because you know, by the time they're you know, dealing with World War II women entering the workforce, they're talking about whites. Cuz for black folk, women were already in the work the workforce. All World War II did is give them different types of jobs to do. Right? And then of course the 1970s kicks off a whole another set of issues in terms of employment, gender roles, so on and so forth. But this is framed around white passport bros. But anyway, I'll continue. "Why the resurgence now? Some claim the dating landscape is stacked against men. They say apps such as Tinder and Hinge favor only a handful of highly desirable profiles while others are left competing for scraps." It's not just others, it's the overwhelming majority. Anyway, "It's a very labor intensive game without a good prize at the end", says Mr. Abeyta. "There's also been a broader cultural shift with some young men becoming more conservative and seeking compliant partners. A recent study by Ipsos, a think tank surveying around 30 countries, found that more than half of Gen Z men believe women's rights have gone far enough. Around a third think that wives should always obey their husband." Well, one of the reasons you're seeing this kind of shift though, you got to keep in mind, is that no mainstream institution is paying attention to feminization. The mainstream for the most part looks at women as if they're still frozen in amber from the 1950s. Therefore, anything women do that appears liberatory or they'll turn into a liberatory gesture is framed from a 1950 standpoint. But if you actually acknowledge the decades between the 1950s and 2026 and you look at what feminization has actually led to, especially in terms of the presence of women in certain industries, including Africana studies. Shout out to my boy Dr. Ronald Neal, he put it better than I've been able to for years. He said, "Africana studies is no longer Africana studies. It's black women's studies." And I was talking to another professor friend of mine today about that very thing. And we were talking about one of the main conferences that you go to when you are a black studies scholar. You go to the National Council for Black Studies. So the last time we went, [music] barely any men there. All women. All women's workshops, or mostly I'll say, the overwhelming majority are. And even subjects that aren't gendered become gendered for women. And that's Africana studies. So we're talking about feminization on a national scale, particularly in the West. You can talk about on a Western scale. And these mainstream institutions still want to ignore that they exist. So they frame men's responses looking for what they call compliant partners, which is another subtle dig, but they refuse to look at it from the vantage point of men where they're literally being pushed out of institutions, you know, for reasons that they don't control. So as long as you frame it without that, you can subtly suggest that these men are carrying on the left's idea of man manhood in general, which is toxicity. As opposed to actually looking at it as a response to feminization, the type of feminization that excludes and alienates men while at the same time making unrealistic demands of them so they could be worthy of the average women that they've always had access to, the women that were on their exact level. So when all of those women want Idris Elba, well, men respond. And women are not liking the response. Okay. Um economics plays a part, too. Moving abroad can make it easier to live out more traditional roles. In America, supporting a household on a single income has become more difficult. "I don't mind dating a poor woman", says Justin, uh another passport bro. "You're more likely to get a tradition to get the traditional roles that way." Some critics argue that passport bros exploit women and contribute to sex tourism. Others say that women are with them for a Western passport, but money may play uh as big a role. "I have no desire to live in America", says Jewel uh Cuaite, Mr. Abeyta's Filipino girlfriend. Their partnership has offered her more financial security than a partner uh from the Philippines might. "There's nothing wrong with finding love abroad, but Ms. Bailey warns that large gaps in income can lead to a disproportionate levels of power for passport bros and their riveted followers. However, that power imbalance may be what is so seductive. Now, let's not get it twisted. I'm not saying that this is a supportive article. What I'm saying is, even though it has its digs, notice it doesn't have the same teeth that we've grown used to seeing in the mainstream when it comes to anything red pill. And the reason for that, I believe, is that we've reached escape velocity. Black men, in particular, the ideas [music] that were at first suppressed, I mean, you've heard the saying, right? First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win. We've just moved to a different stage. Right? They were for a long for the longest they ignored what men were doing, what they had to say. Then they laughed and ridiculed men, right? When they started calling men incels. Then they actively [music] fought it. And you can see this all the way up to the Netflix documentary on the manosphere and all of the the ideas that somehow make Andrew Tate synonymous with any man that's critical of feminism or feminization. Well, now you're seeing another turn where the mainstream is slowly having to accept that these ideas aren't going anywhere. And even high-profile men who have always been considered well-to-do, examples of good men, are employing different aspects of these philosophies into their own, you know, get down. Their own way of doing things. And it's forcing people to re-examine, you know, what's considered good and bad. Hell, much of the time in the on the left anyway, a lot of their sons, a lot of these women's sons are reaching a point where they're starting to employ this. And at the same time they're voicing their frustration with their mothers about how men are being maligned. So, you're you're watching the language shift. See what I mean? And especially when you start talking about Richard Reeves and, you know, a number of other folks who are, you know, catering to the women on the left to try and get them to acknowledge their sons not as the same entities as their husbands, right? How can your son be your toxic enemy if you gave birth to him and raised him? Right? So, inasmuch as they're trying to shift women's thinking, you know, progressive women's thinking about their about manhood in regard to their sons, we're starting to see a shift in how some of these institutions are talking about men. And I don't think it's going to happen completely fast, but then again, that all depends on how what we consider fast and slow. I mean, first time I really heard about passport bros was about 6 years ago. So, one could argue that's a pretty fast turnaround for how a society of men developed their own responses to a feminized dating environment that was hostile to them. I mean, I would grew up in the black community. There was no real response that I saw men collectively develop to, you know, this negative attitude about black men coming from any black women. And those talking points became more and more toxic even though nobody called them out formally. We started to see it all throughout the mainstream in black America where women got grew more and more comfortable talking about men in these extremely misogynous ways. But men never responded until the last 10 to 15 years. And that response has been snowballing. And so far, and this is no way the end of it, we have the Economist softballing passport bros as opposed to outright calling them toxic. You can tell this that that's definitely still there, but it's shifting. And why is it shifting? Because it's reached escape velocity. Tell me what you think. Hope you guys are well. Shout out to you. Holler at y'all soon. Peace.
