 There was a comment from a woman that said, you know what, you're absolutely right, I'm married. My husband and I have two kids and I was having a conversation with a woman at work that does the exact same job. She's on the same pay scale, makes the exact same money as me and she gets an extra $1,000 a month over what her and her husband get combined. So combined income, two incomes in the household, one income with the kids because she's got custody of the kids makes $1,000 more as a single mom than what the family gets. The state encourages single motherhood. Yeah, it's fucked up. Can you believe that? Yeah, I believe it. Man, look at our welfare system. There's people that make more money in the welfare system and people working. I mean, like they're comparing notes. You know, that's what we do. We like to compare notes. That's what we're doing. We're swapping ideas, we're comparing notes, but when these two women were comparing notes, she learned that her girlfriend as a single mother makes $1,000 more a month than she does. And a lot of the narratives that a lot of women have is, well, you don't need a man. You don't need a man. So it's like, well, why wouldn't she leave? Like, are you surprised that he got divorce-raped and she's getting the extra $1,000 a month and she doesn't have to put up with a husband and his shit? Yeah. She got what she wanted. She got the kids. And you got the money now too. You know what? The state is the head of the household. That's the fucking problem. Men have 100% responsibility, but we have no authority anymore. Whereas a few hundred years ago, we had responsibility and authority. Back to Stephanie Coons' book, Marriage and History. One of the things that happened a few hundred years ago was the family was responsible for school, for healthcare, for care of the elderly, for resources, for linear, like everything. Like there was no state involvement in anything, but slowly throughout time as a function of this, you know, this change with this dynamic of the female primary social order, it's changed to the degree where men still have 100% responsibility, but the authority's been stripped away and given to the state and to the feminine imperative, and that's not a disparaging statement. Just pointing to the facts, but that's where we've gotten to. Yeah, we're in a nanny state for everything and what makes things worse is, for the kids, this perpetuates behavior. You have, whether it's a daughter or a son being raised by a divorced parent, depending on where they are, obviously they're- 80% of the time, it's usually the mother. Yeah, there's negative consequences for that for psychologically speaking, and then perpetuates when they're older and it's a vicious fucking cycle. Do you know what the consequences are? Oh, you tell me. The vast majority of the incarcerated, single mother household, vast majority of teenage pregnancies, single mother household, vast majority of runaways, single mother household, vast majority of gang activity, single mother household, vast majority of shitty marks in schools, single mother household, vast majority of suicide attempts, single mother household. Of the 27 last school shootings, you know, with these beta male guys that like, you know the guy that went to the van in Toronto and drove over people? Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. He was the only one that had both parents intact in the household. Of the 27 last mass murders from these like, what do they call them, incels, which stands for involuntary celibate for those of you that don't know what that is, which means these are guys that wanna have sex with women but aren't great, so they suck, so they get mad. So they go to schools, they shoot them up, they rent bans, they're like, 26 out of the 27, single mother household, right? So like, you know, the narrative that we hear in the media about strong independent women raising, you know, sons, like you even see it on Father's Day, like you'll see memes on social media on Father's Day, like, you know, let's give a shout out to the women that are doing the mother's and father's job. No, it's called Father's Day. Like let's stop hijacking a day for fathers and trying to repurpose it and brand it for feminine imperative. Men are needed, both parents are needed, right? You need masculine energy and you need feminine energy. You ever hear about that study they did in Africa with poaching, you know, with elephants? No. So, you know, this is an interesting piece because poachers got out of hand for a while and they were killing all the adult male elephants for the ivory. And what ends up happening was the young male elephants that didn't have fully developed tusks, they ended up misbehaving, like behaving incredibly badly and they were actually killing a lot of these, I think it was white rhinos. I can't remember the rhinos, but they would charge and kill these rhinos. And they almost became extinct because of the poaching of the ivory for the adult male elephants. When they got that back under control and the adult male elephants were, you know, back in place as a place of authority in, you know, the pride tribe, you know, whatever it's called, the rhinos recovered, the young male elephants behave better. Like it's throughout, you know, the animal kingdom. You need masculinity, like you need strong leaders and men in that capacity- Mentors, men, teachers, like fuck, men, that's not rocket science. Yeah. I mean, that's why these guys in the videos are like, hey, rich man, you like the father I never had because there's an absenteeism. I'll tell you from my own personal experience, the reason I was a motherfucker when I was younger, wow. You didn't have a dad, right? Well, my dad was in my life, but he wasn't in my life. If you get what I mean. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Like ghost. Okay, so like you left the family or he was like a piece of furniture? Piece of furniture. Okay, so he was in the house, he just wasn't interested in being a father. Yeah, never went to school, never give a fuck, like ghost men. Got it, okay. Physically, he was there. Of course. And like, is it any surprise that you, because my dad would reel me in when I was a kid. He can't control me, I was fucking crazy. Dude, I remember my dad, when I was like 16 or 17, like I started pushing, right? Like I was like pushing in a boundaries. I was, you know, became more of an asshole because that's what you do. I mean, kids have a way of throwing rocks in the ice to test it, right? So I was pushing boundaries. And one time in the backyard, my dad was like, he was coming at me and I was like dodging and I'm like, yeah, you can't get me. Hey, old man, look at this shit, right? And he couldn't get me, he got pissed off. Cool down, you know, 10, 15 minutes later, I'm walking down the hallway, he's going the other way. You know what he did? Body check to you? Soccer punched me, right? Shoulder plexus, knock the wind out of my lungs. But guess what? I learned who the head of the household was, right? And I'm not saying that, you know, you need to beat your kids or do any of that stuff. But I think it's important that, because moms can't reel in kids like that. No. They just can't. It's like- Especially boys. Especially boys. Yeah. Especially boys. And that's the other, you know, it's funny because I was just having lunch at a restaurant because I parked over by the U of T campus and there's just kind of like breakfast place and there's a lot of moms in there with their boys having lunches. Complete absenteeism of fathers. And I'm just like, I'm so aware now, like I listen to the conversations and it's like, you know, is everything okay, my boy? You know, are you pooing okay? You know, you're on regular intervals, taking dumps every day, you eating well. You know, he's like, well, you know, this girl I really like, but she's not really responsible. She's like, don't worry about it. Just be yourself. The right girl will come along. Just be a nice guy, right? And it's like, they just swallow this narrative of like be the nice guy. And then they end up being this guy that gets incredibly bad results in life because they don't like less agreeable men, make more money, have more sex, are happier. You know, I can go all the way down the list but what they end up doing is they end up programming weaker, softer, beta males, soy boys, you know, dudes with breasts, whatever the hell it is you want to call it. Yeah, like, you know, before this talk, I said, I see a trend. There's a saying, it takes a village to raise a child. It did, yeah, at one point. And now the village is a state.
