The lecture examines the societal and psychological barriers preventing men from performing life-saving CPR on women. It highlights a study revealing that one in three Britons, particularly men, hesitate to help due to fears of inappropriate touching, indicating a larger cultural concern regarding masculinity and emergency responsiveness. The discussion addresses the discomfort many men feel regarding necessary physical contact in emergencies, contrasting their apprehensions with women’s comparatively lower levels of concern. Real-life incidents illustrate the risks men face, including accusations of harassment, leading to increased reluctance to intervene in crises. The lecture also explores the evolution of gender roles and the impact of social media narratives that often portray men as potential aggressors. Ultimately, it calls for a societal reassessment of responses to men's hesitance, advocating for a dialogue that fosters understanding and encourages supportive behaviors in emergency situations.

00:00So, this is interesting.
00:02This is an article from the Daily Mail.
00:05Men are refusing to give life-saving CPR to a woman, a woman, should be a woman, because
00:11they're afraid to touch their breasts.
00:13One in three Britons are afraid to give a woman CPR, or to give women CPR because they
00:17are worried about touching their breasts.
00:19A study reveals the same proportion of men, 33%, also feel being accused of, quote, inappropriate
00:24touching when giving women chest compressions.
00:27However, just 13% of women have the same reservations.
00:30Okay?
00:31A sexual taboo, no?
00:34It's not that.
00:35It's just amazing how people just don't seem to understand or never have any curiosity
00:39about male concerns.
00:40Like, it's just, it's amazing.
00:42Ladies, if you're watching this, and I know that some of you are, to be on the male side
00:48of the social equation is to be condemned for every preference you have that does not
00:54accord with a woman's direct wishes, right?
00:58Male opinions are viewed as Tourette's outbursts, you know, just kind of unpleasant against
01:03the will, except, well, Tourette's is, I guess, people are victimized by the disorder.
01:09So just so you understand, can you imagine that you would be roundly condemned, attacked
01:15in the most vicious ways, humiliated, and put down if you expressed an opinion that
01:22went against the grain for a male?
01:24Well, that's what it's like being a man, right?
01:28So there's also a defibrillator is important as well, but for a defibrillator, there's
01:38pads that need to be placed on bare skin in the chest area.
01:42So half of male respondents stated they would feel less comfortable using a defibrillator
01:48on a woman, knowing that they have to remove her clothing, including a bra, and 31% of
01:52females surveyed, right?
01:53Nearly a quarter of all respondents admitted they're less likely to give CPR to a woman
01:58in public than a man.
02:00So anyway, that's interesting.
02:06So the problem is, it's a combination of social media, plus hysteria, plus believe all women,
02:15and institutions that have to investigate absolutely everything, right?
02:20So there was, I think it was in Australia, there was an ENT technician who, actually,
02:28let's go and let's find out about this.
02:31Some Korean men are refusing to help women.
02:33A few days ago, a woman in her 20s lost consciousness and fainted when she was on the subway.
02:37Apparently, there were a bunch of men in their 20s and 30s who refused to help, and saying
02:41something to the extent of, it has nothing to do with me, which got the women on the
02:44internet pissed.
02:45According to a Korean woman, the reason being, all able-bodied Korean men have to serve military
02:49service.
02:50They do learn CPR in the military.
02:51So it was expected for men in their 20s.
02:53So I mean, that's the first thing, right?
02:55So there are a lot of men in the modern world who view themselves as serf captives of women
03:05through the state, right?
03:07So if a woman runs into trouble, if a woman has a kid out of wedlock, if a woman doesn't
03:12save for her own retirement, if a woman is heavily in debt, she runs to the government
03:17and the government forces the men, often forces the men to pay.
03:21Since the country needs defending, women want equality, but never in the realm of selective
03:25service.
03:26In fact, the late great Phyllis Schlafly opposed the Equal Rights Amendment back in the 70s,
03:33I think it was the Equal Rights Amendment, and was able to successfully oppose it, although
03:37lots of women wanted it, by pointing out that this would mean that women would be susceptible
03:42to selective service and the draft in the case of wartime, and then women ran away from
03:46equality when it came to sacrifice.
03:49So men feel that, a lot of men, right, feel that women are kind of hypocritical about
03:55this and that they are forced to pay for women's mistakes, and they've also been told, and
04:04this is the age of social media, right, and believe all women, as I said.
04:06So if a man is taken out of context, right, because this is the other thing, too.
04:12People consume, it's not just women, of course, but people consume a lot of media where stuff
04:15is taken out of context, and then form snap judgments based upon incomplete information.
04:22So if there is some man, and he's perceived to be, quote, groping, right, there's a lot
04:30of trolls out there in the world constantly trying to spread harmful false narratives,
04:34right, and so somebody's going to slow down the video, and they're not going to give the
04:40context, and then the guy's going to be in trouble, right, and he's going to be in trouble
04:46because even if he's cleared eventually, he wants to go through that kind of investigation,
04:48who wants to get their name tarred and smeared, and you never know when that lightning strike
04:52of going viral is just going to hit, and then your life is never the same, right, it's like
04:58that woman, I mean, way back in the day who made that tasteless joke about AIDS in Africa
05:03and then woke up to a completely destroyed life, right, just because you never know.
05:07So we've been told, believe all women, and we've been told that a woman always needs
05:15to provide consent, and certainly in the West, probably less so in South Korea, but
05:22certainly in the West, a man is probably a little hesitant to do CPR, which can be, you
05:27know, quite violent, right, I mean, CPR can sometimes break ribs and so on, right, but
05:33if the woman has breast implants, is it possible that they could damage and leak, he gets sued,
05:42but women have been told, women have told a lot of women, right, not all of course,
05:45a lot of women have told society they don't need men, they can do it all by themselves,
05:50and so there's just this sort of fundamental truth, and women have set up, a lot of women
05:54have set up these institutions or approve of these institutions where you believe all
05:57women and everything needs to be investigated, it just can't be dismissed with like a roll
06:02of the eyes and come on, he was trying to save your life, give me a break, right, everything
06:06needs to be investigated, and that can take, you know, six months, a year, it can be expensive,
06:10it can be kind of stressful, that kind of stuff, right, so, you know, the social bond
06:14is actually pretty fragile, right, the social, I mean, if it's just some stranger, I mean,
06:19you're gonna have to do a calculation, is the life of a random stranger worth my life
06:24being destroyed by some social media hysteria, some false narrative, her suing me, even if
06:30it gets dismissed eventually, it's expensive and time consuming and stressful, so what
06:35is the life of some stranger worth, right?
06:38...is in 30s who likely just got out of the military to jump into hell because they know
06:41how to do CPR, but a lot of the men on the train didn't, their reason being, they did
06:45not want to be accused of sexual harassment, there were a few incidents where men were
06:48actually accused for sexual harassment, for trying to help the women, back in 2014, a
06:51South Korean woman had actually tried to sue a male EMT paramedic for doing CPR and doing
06:56chest compressions on her, although...
06:58Now, of course, that is tough, but the question is this, if the woman, and I don't know the
07:08story behind this, but if the woman tried to sue an EMT for trying to save her life,
07:16then was that woman severely penalized, was she charged, was she, did she have to pay
07:23huge fines, did she have to pay his legal fees, what sanctions did she go through?
07:31Now, if she didn't really go through any sanctions, then you're toast, right, then people are
07:36just going to let other people, you know, good luck, good luck, I mean, because if society
07:41is going to let, not just women of course, but in this case a woman, if society is going
07:45to let women do horrible, egregious things that break the social contract, it's going
07:50to break the social contract, then if society, and you know, this could be the legal system,
07:56but if society as a whole does not act against that woman, in other words, let's say that
08:00a woman does this and let's say the government doesn't do anything to punish her for using
08:05the legal system in this horrible way, well, is that woman then shunned and ostracized
08:10by other women as a whole, because, like, in other words, is female in-group preference
08:15going to overtake basic survival instinct, right, are these women going to shun this
08:21woman because this woman is putting their lives and the lives of their grandmothers
08:25and aunts and cousins and daughters and so on in danger, are they going to shun this
08:31woman and is the media going to rail against her and say, look, by weaponizing the legal
08:37system against men who are trying to save your life, you're putting us all in danger,
08:41or did it just kind of fade, so if women choose other bad women over good men, right,
08:49if they choose a woman like this who seems to have weaponized the legal system against
08:53someone trying to, a man trying to save a life, if other women are going to choose that
08:57woman over bad men, then that's, men notice this, we're pattern-making, we're pattern
09:01recognition machines.
09:03The paramedic wasn't charged or convicted with anything, since he was reported, he still
09:08had to go through an investigation. There was also another story shared of a Korean
09:31guy going up the steps in the subway station, and there was a woman in front of him seemingly
09:35about to fall. He put out his hands and tried to grab her from the back to prevent her from
09:38falling. The girl freaked out and called the police on him, and he ended up in the
09:41police station.
09:42That being said, these are all the men's side of the story. They'd rather be a bystander
09:45than getting their names tainted with SA. This all seems a little crazy to me, I mean,
09:49I get it if you don't want to touch the person because you don't know what's going on, at
09:52least call for help.
09:53Well maybe they did. So this is just basic evolutionary biology, right, basic evolutionary
09:59biology, and that's where most of our instinctual ethics evolved, right. Our instinctual ethics
10:06evolved with evolutionary biology. So it's not that complicated, right, you just have
10:11to look and say, okay, so if there is some accusation of inappropriate touching or SA
10:17against me, my name gets associated with that, I go through an investigation, and again,
10:22you never know when the media's going to turn that blinding spotlight on you. Then my chances
10:30of reproduction go down enormously. My chances of reproducing my genetics goes down enormously
10:36because even if I'm cleared in the end, there's a shadow over me, and so on, right?
10:42So the man says, okay, well, I share genetics with this random stranger for sure, right?
10:46I guess in South Korea it's fairly racially homogenous or ethnically homogenous, right?
10:51So yeah, I do share some genetics with this stranger who's maybe dying or whatever, right?
10:59But I assume that they're older, older women, and I said beyond reproductive age, so it
11:04doesn't exactly help spread the genetics, but even if they're not, it's just some stranger,
11:10some woman. And if helping a stranger harms your own reproductive chances, most men instinctively
11:19will not help the stranger. Like this is not that complicated, people, I don't know why
11:23people have such difficulties with this. I mean, it's fine to be sentimental about, oh,
11:28help the woman, and so on. I get all of that, right? But a man, the men who survived throughout
11:35the brutal evolution of the human species, it's an unfortunate freeze frame for the woman,
11:39but the men who survived in the bloodsport of human evolution were the men who made correct
11:45decisions about reproduction, right? Those are the men who made correct decisions about
11:50reproduction. And we can all do the math, right? If helping a random stranger has a
12:00significant chance or a chance even of putting your own reproductive success at risk, then
12:09you will often, your instinct will be to not help the stranger. I mean, and even if we
12:14say, well, but the media, what are the odds the media is gonna, she's gonna accuse you
12:17and the media is going to focus on it and your name is going to be perpetually associated
12:20with this. Okay, let's say that none of that happens, right? Let's say that she just files
12:25charges or let's just say that she files a complaint and your regulatory board or the
12:29police or whatever have to go through a multi-month investigation that's going to cost you, you
12:35know, whatever X amount of crazy money, right? Well, what are, like that has, what's the
12:45old saying, right? You can beat the rap, but you can't read the repeat the ride, right?
12:48So you can get off on the charges, but you can't erase the process of having gone through
12:51it. That's going to change who you are. And it's going to make you a little more jumpy.
12:56It's going to make you less wealthy, of course. And the stress is going to make you less attractive,
13:02both in the present and afterwards. And so, yeah, the duty of the organism is to reproduce.
13:09And it's very nice to help strangers, but unfortunately, society as a whole, and I'm
13:14going to put the onus a little bit more on women here because they tend to have this
13:17belief all women set up all of these institutions that have to investigate everything and so
13:24on. And they have a lot of women, right? Have either put down men and said that we are irrelevant
13:29and unnecessary and toxic and all of that. But not, it's not so much that the extremists
13:36among women have said and done all of that. It's that most women have not risen up to
13:40oppose it, which means that they don't feel particularly bonded or attached to their,
13:44you know, fathers, uncles, husbands, sons, and so on. So, yeah, I mean, women to a large
13:50degree and some men, of course, have turned over the narrative to a lot of extremist women
13:54and that has put all women at risk and compassion and justice and affection for men would have
14:01solved all of this decades ago. But as usual, it just looks like everyone's going to have
14:06to learn the hard way. And rather than saying to men, why don't you want to help? And what's
14:11wrong with society that you don't want to help? Because listen, men love to help. Like
14:15we absolutely love to help. I mean, what a great story, what a great experience having
14:20saved a life. So then if men are hesitant to, right? I mean, society has a choice, right?
14:25And society's choice is to say to men, why do you think you're hesitant about this? What
14:30do you think is going on that you're hesitant about this? Help us understand so we can fix
14:34it. Nope, you just condemn the men as horrible, uncaring, unthinking, unfeeling cowards,
14:42and you attack men more and the cycle continues until people finally learn. Freedomain.com
