00:00Good morning, everybody. It's Ivan Mullany from FreedomAid. Hope you're doing well.
00:03So, of course, there does seem to be rather a bit of hysteria at the moment among some of the
00:08fairer sexist circles in that women seem to genuinely believe that they're losing their rights,
00:13that they're losing, with the election of Donald Trump, they're losing their rights.
00:17And it seems to be something that is very true and very vivid.
00:22And I'm just here to tell you what's going on with some real sympathy.
00:27So, men, if a law was passed that said you could only date women with a BMI of 30 or more,
00:42like some significantly overweight women, or you could only date women who were 45 and older,
00:50then you would get very upset, right? You would get very upset.
00:54If you could only date women who were extremely tall or extremely short or whatever it is that you would find
01:03some sort of negative physical characteristic, but probably the one that's most vivid is the obesity one.
01:07So, if a law was passed that said you were only allowed to date women who were obese, you'd be very upset.
01:14You'd be very upset because your preferences that you have would no longer be achievable.
01:20If you wanted a slender woman, you wouldn't be allowed to date a slender woman.
01:22You'd have to date an obese woman. So, you'd be upset.
01:26If a law was passed for men, like let's say you've got some money,
01:31and if a law was passed for men that said you were never allowed to spend any money on dates,
01:39you had to pretend that you were broke, right?
01:41You didn't have to pretend that, well, we're just going to go for a walk.
01:43Maybe we'll get something from a hot dog stand.
01:45Like if there was a law that was passed that said you're only allowed to spend $10 or $20 on a date
01:50and you're not allowed to have a nice car, you're not allowed to have nice clothes,
01:55you're not allowed to display your wealth in any particular way, that would be frustrating.
02:00Like you would feel like, well, I mean, I have this money, I want to spend some money on some dates,
02:03like to impress the woman, like to show my competence and so on.
02:07Well, that would be frustrating for you.
02:10If you had to date overweight women, if you couldn't spend any money on dates,
02:13that would significantly lower the quality of the women that you were able to date.
02:19So just so you understand.
02:21So this is what women are experiencing because they've been told that, I mean,
02:26it's really, really toxic and dangerous nonsense.
02:29So the women have been told that ectopic pregnancies are now illegal,
02:33that you're going to be prosecuted for having a miscarriage,
02:35that you can't get health care in the event of a pregnancy problem, which is all false.
02:43It's all false.
02:46Or that if they get raped, they'll have to bring the baby to term.
02:50And again, I'm no lawyer, but as far as I understand it,
02:52if you get raped and you go to the hospital, of course,
02:56we have a massive sympathy for such a trauma,
02:58then you would get a morning after pill to prevent pregnancy and so on.
03:01So there's lots of sort of choices and options.
03:05And it is really, it's terrible to tell women that they can't get health care
03:08if they have an ectopic pregnancy or if they have a miscarriage.
03:12I mean, that's just not true. And it does prevent women.
03:15Some women will not go for health care because they're afraid of legal problems
03:18and they just won't get the health care that they need.
03:21And these difficult and sometimes, well, ectopic is quite dangerous, I think.
03:26But miscarriages is very unpleasant and can be, of course, medically problematic.
03:33So women believe that they can't get abortions
03:42and risky pregnancies and so on will not be treated,
03:47which is, again, not true as far as I know.
03:51So what that means is that women will not be able to subsidize
03:57their sexual market value with sexual access.
04:01And therefore, they will have uncovered before them.
04:06And, you know, vanity is a thing. I mean, I have some, I'm sure you have some.
04:11And finding out where we actually stand in the pecking order
04:14can be a rather brutal wake-up call, right?
04:19I mean, how attractive am I really, right?
04:21I mean, I think I'm all that in a slice of bread,
04:24but let's find out how attractive I am.
04:27Like we have this in the business world, we think we're worth a lot,
04:30but then we actually have to go and negotiate salary.
04:33We find out the truth about how much we're worth to others and so on, right?
04:38So for women, they are in the mental process of evaluating themselves.
04:47And of course, it's not all women, it's probably not even many women,
04:50but those who are making the most noise at the moment.
04:53They're going through the process and they're saying in their heart of hearts,
04:59I'm now going to find out the men who will marry me
05:06versus the men who will sleep with me, right?
05:09They're going to go and find out, or they're in the process of finding out
05:12what are the qualities of the men who will marry them
05:17rather than the men who will just sleep with them.
05:19Because if a man is a nine and a woman is a five,
05:25the man may very well sleep with her,
05:27but he's not going to become her boyfriend, he's not going to marry her.
05:30And I'm not just talking about looks, there could be other qualities as well.
05:36So when women are complaining that they're losing their rights,
05:41and what they are complaining about is that their right, in a sense,
05:48or their capacity to access more attractive men through subsidizing
05:53relationships with sexual access is being threatened.
05:57It's the same thing if welfare or alimony and so on were threatened
06:05or were diminished in some manner,
06:08then women would be bringing less money to the table,
06:11and so for some women, bringing that money to the table
06:14can allow them to get access to a more attractive male.
06:20So really, if you want to know that the hysteria that's going on
06:23is the hysteria of, and it's a humiliating thing,
06:26because women don't feel very good, deep down,
06:29about getting men to sleep with them but not commit to them.
06:33It's enraging, frustrating.
06:36Women are complaining all the time, you know,
06:38I thought we met on a couple of dates, it was great,
06:41and then he just ghosted me.
06:42They just get really frustrated and angry and upset,
06:44and I completely understand that.
06:46I completely understand that.
06:48I mean, it's like a man who, let's say he's very, very wealthy,
06:51and he pays for really fun activities for all of his friends,
06:55and then they don't stick around.
06:59It turns out they weren't really his friends.
07:01Oh, they were just here for the money,
07:03because I flew them to, I don't know, Cabo Santa Maria,
07:07I flew them to the Turks and Caicos,
07:09and we had a fantastic weekend of wakeboarding and partying,
07:13and I paid for everyone, and I paid for the flights and the hotels,
07:16and then let's say he falls upon hard times
07:19and that his friends don't stick around.
07:21He's frustrated and he's bitter,
07:23and he's finding out how many people like him
07:25versus how many people like his money.
07:27I'm trying to give it sort of in the male equivalent
07:29so we can have some sympathy for this process.
07:33So if we gave average-looking men $3 million when they turned 18,
07:43then they would be able to spend a lot of money,
07:45they'd be able to have a lot of fun,
07:47and they'd be able to attract more attractive women
07:50in part through the resources.
07:53And then if we took that money away,
07:58and the young man, rather than having millions and millions of dollars,
08:01he would actually have to attract women and friends
08:04through the quality of his character, his personality, and so on,
08:07he'd be frustrated and there would be a sense of terror
08:10at the base of his soul.
08:13We all, I can obviously speak for myself,
08:15we all have to go through this process of how valuable am I really,
08:20as opposed to what I, you know, we all daydream,
08:22we're all going to be, you know, I don't know,
08:24astronauts and superstars and all these sorts of things.
08:28I had, of course, my own ambitions and dreams and fantasies
08:31about things as a kid.
08:33And then we all have to get sorted in the actual pecking order of life, right?
08:39We go out with big plans and ideals and dreams,
08:41and then we get sorted into the actual thing.
08:43So women, unfortunately, in the modern world,
08:46and it's very bad for both men and women,
08:48they can have, in a sense, consequence-free sexuality.
08:53In other words, the sexuality that is designed to pair-bond humans
08:57with the goal of creating a stable marriage
09:02in which to raise children, right?
09:04The purpose of human sexuality is to pair-bond people,
09:07to create stable marriages for the purposes of raising children,
09:10being raised in a stable two-parent household
09:13is by far, like, almost infinitely the best for children.
09:17So the purpose of human sexuality,
09:22if pair-bonding for the sake of raising children,
09:25and to use it recreationally for your own vanity,
09:28or to use it to, I don't know, be flown around the world
09:31so you can have fun travel because men are sexually interested in you,
09:35to use it to subsidize your vanity, to say,
09:37oh, here's a picture of the guy I'm dating,
09:39look how handsome he is, look how successful he is,
09:42and then getting embittered and ghosting and so on
09:45as the man moves on because he's just sleeping with you,
09:47he's not committing to you,
09:49that whole process is really tough.
09:52I mean, it's a tough but necessary process
09:54to find out where you stand in the actual pecking order.
09:58You may recall, if you've been around for a while,
10:00I went through this a couple of years ago,
10:03and it's a necessary and healthy process
10:06to find out what your actual value is.
10:08So just so you know, when women feel like they're having their rights taken away
10:12and they gravitate quite a bit towards any potential restrictions on abortion,
10:18then what is happening deep down
10:23is that women are confronting in their heart of hearts
10:28the gap between the men who will sleep with them,
10:32who can be very attractive, and I'm not necessarily saying high quality,
10:35but in terms of like status and money and looks,
10:38they're saying, what is the gap between the men who will sleep with me
10:42and the men who will get down on one knee with a ring and propose to me?
10:48And that gap can be quite large.
10:51That gap can be quite large.
10:53And if you have attuned your entire reproductive strategy to high-value men
10:59that you get as the result of subsidizing the relationship with sexuality,
11:04then if that subsidy is threatened,
11:07if the subsidy which gets you up in the rank of sexual market value,
11:11if that is threatened, you really feel like a right is being taken away,
11:15that something is being stripped away from you,
11:18something is being taken from you,
11:20and it's really, really painful and difficult and frustrating and frightening
11:25to find out where you stand.
11:27Vanity is not a bad thing.
11:29I mean, it's good to have high ambitions,
11:31but we do have to adjust over time to what we can actually achieve
11:34rather than what we believe we can achieve or what is subsidized, right?
11:40And so that's why there's this vivid sense of rights being taken away,
11:46and it is a necessary adjustment to reality.
11:49For a woman, it is very important to find out not who will sleep with you,
11:54but who will marry you, and that is a very, very difficult process.
11:59If you can't subsidize relationships with sexual access,
12:04then you can get high-quality men by becoming a high-quality woman
12:08in terms of virtue and commitment and consistency and trust and honesty.
12:13You can definitely get high-quality men,
12:16but rather than just subsidizing with sexuality,
12:19you have to become a high-quality woman,
12:22and that is a tough journey.
12:24It's a tougher journey rather than offering up sex.
12:28It's tougher to be good than to provoke lust through sexual displays.
12:34It's a necessary process.
12:36It's a process I sympathize with and I understand,
12:39but just bye-bye if you're wondering what's going on at the moment.
12:42That's it.
