1 00:00:01,880 --> 00:00:06,160 Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio the George 2 00:00:06,240 --> 00:00:11,560 Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong, Joe Getty, Armstrong and Getty 3 00:00:11,680 --> 00:00:23,520 Speaker 1: and he Armstrong and Getty. We'll get this. 4 00:00:23,560 --> 00:00:26,599 Speaker 2: Wikipedia said that traffic to their site is falling because 5 00:00:26,640 --> 00:00:31,400 Speaker 2: people are using AI instead. That AI said the same 6 00:00:31,400 --> 00:00:34,120 Speaker 2: thing slightly reworded it inside of them as the sourse. 7 00:00:35,400 --> 00:00:39,159 Speaker 1: It's pretty clever. Actually, that's pretty clever. Yeah. 8 00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:42,600 Speaker 3: So the way we see our jobs around here, speak 9 00:00:42,640 --> 00:00:46,360 Speaker 3: for myself is yeah, we bring you news of the 10 00:00:46,479 --> 00:00:51,720 Speaker 3: day and our thoughts, but we're also curators of, you know, ideas. 11 00:00:52,560 --> 00:00:54,480 Speaker 3: That's the most fun part of the job for me 12 00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:56,160 Speaker 3: is reading all day long and trying to find the 13 00:00:56,160 --> 00:00:58,240 Speaker 3: best ideas and bring them to you. Sometimes there are 14 00:00:58,360 --> 00:01:03,400 Speaker 3: sometimes they're not. And I came across you describe our jobs. 15 00:01:03,400 --> 00:01:06,640 Speaker 4: I'm more of a lavishly paid to blather on barely 16 00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:07,800 Speaker 4: knowing what I'm talking about. 17 00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:12,240 Speaker 3: Oh, that's your special charm. I came across this great 18 00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:16,360 Speaker 3: piece by author Helen Andrews, and a number of our 19 00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:20,880 Speaker 3: Morris student listeners have centered along saying in SNMG, have 20 00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:24,959 Speaker 3: you guys seen this? And it's a little longer than 21 00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:27,399 Speaker 3: something we would generally read to you. But it is 22 00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:30,040 Speaker 3: so good and I think so important, it's worth it. 23 00:01:30,040 --> 00:01:36,080 Speaker 3: It's entitled The Great Feminization. And here's a disclaimer real quickly, because, 24 00:01:36,440 --> 00:01:40,759 Speaker 3: as you know, a happily married guy who I love 25 00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:43,040 Speaker 3: and respect, my wife, I have two daughters, my mom 26 00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:43,679 Speaker 3: is a saint. 27 00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:44,800 Speaker 1: Blah blah blah. 28 00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:49,640 Speaker 3: Women and women womanhood are essential to the functioning of mankind. 29 00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:53,320 Speaker 3: I am a great believer in balance. People who ask 30 00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:55,800 Speaker 3: me about politics, I always tell them, Look, I'm a 31 00:01:55,960 --> 00:01:59,400 Speaker 3: really conservative conservative, but I believe we need navy seals 32 00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:02,440 Speaker 3: and poets for society to work, for the world to work, 33 00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:05,400 Speaker 3: we need men and women, the masculine, the effeminate. That's 34 00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:08,640 Speaker 3: the way we're made by God or creation or whatever. 35 00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:09,640 Speaker 1: Anyway. 36 00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:13,160 Speaker 3: Having said that, The Great Feminization, Helen Andrews and Jack 37 00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:17,320 Speaker 3: obviously dive in whenever you want. In twenty nineteen, she writes, 38 00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:19,960 Speaker 3: I read an article about Larry Summers and Harvard that 39 00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:20,799 Speaker 3: changed the way I. 40 00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:21,880 Speaker 1: Look at the world. 41 00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:24,880 Speaker 3: The author argued that the day Larry Summers resigned as 42 00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:27,880 Speaker 3: president of Harvard University marked a turning point in our culture. 43 00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:30,800 Speaker 3: We talked a lot at the time. Oh yeah, the 44 00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:33,520 Speaker 3: entire and she explains exactly what happened. If you're trying 45 00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:36,160 Speaker 3: to remember what happened, the entire woke era could be 46 00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:39,079 Speaker 3: extrapolated from that moment. From the details of how Summers 47 00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:42,799 Speaker 3: was canceled and most of all, who did the canceling women, 48 00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:46,560 Speaker 3: The basic facts of the Summer's case are familiar. January fourteenth, 49 00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:49,160 Speaker 3: twenty oh five, at a conference on diversifying the science 50 00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:52,079 Speaker 3: and engineering workforce, Larry Summers gave a talk that was 51 00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:54,280 Speaker 3: supposed to be off the record. In it, he said 52 00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:57,560 Speaker 3: that female under representation and hard sciences was partly due 53 00:02:57,639 --> 00:03:01,519 Speaker 3: to quote different availability of aptitude at the high end, 54 00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:05,400 Speaker 3: as well as taste difference as preferences between men and 55 00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:11,679 Speaker 3: women not attributable to socialization, meaning dudes just tend to xxct. 56 00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:14,880 Speaker 3: Some female professors and attendants were offended and sent his 57 00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:17,280 Speaker 3: remarks to a reporter in defiance of the off the 58 00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:20,799 Speaker 3: record rule. The ensuing scandal led to a no confidence 59 00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:25,040 Speaker 3: vote by the Harvard faculty and eventually Summer's resignation. The 60 00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:27,520 Speaker 3: essay argued that it wasn't just that women had canceled 61 00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:30,000 Speaker 3: the president of Harvard, it was that they'd canceled him 62 00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:33,400 Speaker 3: in a very feminine way. They made emotional appeals rather 63 00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:34,680 Speaker 3: than logical arguments. 64 00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:35,360 Speaker 1: Quote. 65 00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:38,400 Speaker 3: When he started talking about innate differences and aptitudes between 66 00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:40,920 Speaker 3: men and women, I just couldn't breathe because this kind 67 00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:43,920 Speaker 3: of bias makes me physically ill. Oh my God, said 68 00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:46,120 Speaker 3: Nancy Hopkins, a biologist at MIT. 69 00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:46,720 Speaker 5: Wow. 70 00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:49,800 Speaker 3: Summers made a public statement clarifying his remarks, and then another, 71 00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:53,240 Speaker 3: and then a third, with the apology more insistent each time. 72 00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:57,040 Speaker 3: Experts chimed in to declare that everything Somers had said 73 00:03:57,080 --> 00:04:02,200 Speaker 3: about sex differences was within the scientific mainstream. These rational 74 00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:06,080 Speaker 3: appeals had no effect on the mob hysteria. This cancelation 75 00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:09,840 Speaker 3: was feminine, the essay argued, because all cancelations are feminine. 76 00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:12,480 Speaker 3: Cancel culture is simply what women do when there are 77 00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:16,000 Speaker 3: enough of them in a given organization or field. That 78 00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:19,479 Speaker 3: is the great feminization thesis, which the same author later 79 00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:22,920 Speaker 3: elaborated on at book length. Everything you think of as 80 00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:28,280 Speaker 3: wokeness is simply an epiphenomenon of demographic feminization. 81 00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:30,719 Speaker 1: Like where this is I? Like where this is going? 82 00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:35,240 Speaker 3: The explanatory power of this simple thesis was incredible. It 83 00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:37,480 Speaker 3: really did unlock the secrets of the era we were 84 00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:40,680 Speaker 3: living in now. Here's the point I disagree with. Wokeness 85 00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:43,919 Speaker 3: is not a new ideology, an outgrowth of Marxism, or 86 00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:47,599 Speaker 3: a result of post Obama disillusionment. It is simply feminine 87 00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:50,599 Speaker 3: patterns of behavior applied to institutions where women were few 88 00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:52,000 Speaker 3: in number until recently. 89 00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:53,840 Speaker 1: How did I not see it before? 90 00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:58,159 Speaker 3: My disagreement with the Marxism point is that Michelle Foucaut, 91 00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:01,920 Speaker 3: who's really the godfather of critical theory and neo Marxism, 92 00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:06,720 Speaker 3: he understood human nature and he understood how making an 93 00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:12,039 Speaker 3: emotional moral argument could get people to ignore facts. That's 94 00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:15,000 Speaker 3: why they're so intent on getting you to say a 95 00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:18,680 Speaker 3: man can give birth to a baby, because if you 96 00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:24,000 Speaker 3: can be pried away from logic and rely on pure 97 00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:28,279 Speaker 3: emotion and what the crowd says you should say, then 98 00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:32,280 Speaker 3: they've gotcha. So this is not divorced from Marxism. It's 99 00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:35,320 Speaker 3: just another layer of it. But anyway, on with the essay. 100 00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:40,920 Speaker 3: Let's see then she mentions a couple of firsts people 101 00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:45,640 Speaker 3: think about the feminization of like the first woman to 102 00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:47,960 Speaker 3: attend law school in eighteen sixty nine, first woman to 103 00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:50,239 Speaker 3: argue before the Supreme Court in eighteen eighty, first female 104 00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:53,240 Speaker 3: Supreme Court Justice nineteen eighty one. But she says a 105 00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:56,280 Speaker 3: much more important tipping point is when law schools became 106 00:05:56,400 --> 00:05:59,880 Speaker 3: majority female, which occurred in twenty sixteen, or when law 107 00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:03,320 Speaker 3: firms associated became majority female, which occurred in twenty twenty three. 108 00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:06,400 Speaker 3: When Sandrade O'Connor was appointed to the High Court, only 109 00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:10,520 Speaker 3: five percent of judges were female. Today, women are thirty 110 00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:14,080 Speaker 3: three percent of the judges in America and sixty three 111 00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:18,719 Speaker 3: percent of the judges appointed by President Biden sixty three percent. 112 00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:22,400 Speaker 3: The same trajectory can be seen in many professions, pioneering 113 00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:25,560 Speaker 3: generations of women in the sixties and seventies, increasing female 114 00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:29,240 Speaker 3: representative representation through the eighties and nineties, and gender par 115 00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:33,440 Speaker 3: parody finally arriving in twenty tens or twenty twenties. For instance, 116 00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:35,760 Speaker 3: in nineteen seventy four, only ten percent of New York 117 00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:38,480 Speaker 3: Times reporters were female. The New York Times staff became 118 00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:41,600 Speaker 3: majority female in twenty eighteen, and today the female share 119 00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:46,479 Speaker 3: is fifty five percent. Medical schools became majority female in 120 00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:50,040 Speaker 3: twenty nineteen. Women became a majority of the college educated 121 00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:53,320 Speaker 3: workforce nationwide. In twenty nineteen, women became a majority of 122 00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:56,240 Speaker 3: college instructors. In twenty twenty three. Women are not yet 123 00:06:56,240 --> 00:06:58,359 Speaker 3: a majority of the managers in America, but they might 124 00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:01,440 Speaker 3: be soon. They're now forty six percent. So the timing fits. 125 00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:04,719 Speaker 3: Wokeness arose around the same time that many important institutions 126 00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:09,120 Speaker 3: tip tip demographically from majority male to majority female. All right, 127 00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:12,640 Speaker 3: so what you're saying, here's here's what she means. The 128 00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:17,239 Speaker 3: substance fits too. Everything you think of wokeness involves prioritizing 129 00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:23,600 Speaker 3: the feminine over the masculine, empathy over rationality, safety over risk, 130 00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:30,280 Speaker 3: cohesion over competition. Give you a second to absorb that. 131 00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:32,720 Speaker 3: One hundred percent right, one hundred percent right, and one 132 00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:33,480 Speaker 3: hundred percent right. 133 00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:34,720 Speaker 1: Those are all real interesting. 134 00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:37,680 Speaker 3: Other writers who proposed their own versions of the great 135 00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:41,040 Speaker 3: feminization thesis she drops a few names, who looked at 136 00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:45,000 Speaker 3: feminization's effect on academia, offer survey data showing sex differences 137 00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:48,520 Speaker 3: in political values. One survey, for instance, found that seventy 138 00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:51,760 Speaker 3: one percent of men said protecting free speech was more 139 00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:55,080 Speaker 3: important than preserving a cohesive society. 140 00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:56,000 Speaker 1: Whatever that means. 141 00:07:56,200 --> 00:07:59,240 Speaker 3: Seventy one percent of men, sixty percent of women said 142 00:07:59,240 --> 00:07:59,960 Speaker 3: the opposite. 143 00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:03,080 Speaker 4: That doesn't surprise me, and as a for some reason 144 00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:04,920 Speaker 4: it popped into my head. You was talking about how 145 00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:08,200 Speaker 4: when women got involved in youth sports, how it changed. 146 00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:10,880 Speaker 4: Then we got uniforms at every age, and lots of 147 00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:15,800 Speaker 4: team pictures, and lots of ceremonies, ceremonies and not yah 148 00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:19,040 Speaker 4: yeah anyway. 149 00:08:19,480 --> 00:08:23,240 Speaker 3: And then she issues a disclaimer which probably isn't necessary. 150 00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:26,360 Speaker 3: But the most relevant differences are not about individuals but 151 00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:29,680 Speaker 3: about groups. Yes, an individual woman might be taller than 152 00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:32,880 Speaker 3: an individual man, but a group of ten random women 153 00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:35,559 Speaker 3: is very unlikely to have an average height greater than 154 00:08:35,559 --> 00:08:38,319 Speaker 3: that of ten men. The larger the group of people, 155 00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:41,240 Speaker 3: the more likely it is to conform to statistical averages. 156 00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:46,600 Speaker 3: So again, you independent thinking, free speech loving women out there, 157 00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:50,040 Speaker 3: it's not about you. It's not about individuals, it's about 158 00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:55,480 Speaker 3: in large groups, tendencies become more and more true anyway. 159 00:08:55,840 --> 00:09:00,040 Speaker 3: The female group dynamics favor consensus and cooperation. Men and 160 00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:03,520 Speaker 3: order each other around, But women can only suggest and persuade. 161 00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:07,320 Speaker 3: Any criticism or negative sentiment, if it is absolutely to 162 00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:10,880 Speaker 3: be expressed, needs to be buried in layers of compliments. 163 00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:13,680 Speaker 3: The outcome of a discussion is less important than the 164 00:09:13,679 --> 00:09:16,880 Speaker 3: fact that a discussion was held and everyone participated in it. 165 00:09:17,160 --> 00:09:21,400 Speaker 3: The most important sex difference. The most important sex difference 166 00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:25,200 Speaker 3: in group dynamics is attitude to conflict. In short, men 167 00:09:25,280 --> 00:09:31,000 Speaker 3: wage conflict openly, while women covertly undermine or ostracize their enemies. 168 00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:34,080 Speaker 3: Any ladies like to disagree with that, Katie, feel free 169 00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:38,680 Speaker 3: to jump in if you like. Okay, do women that 170 00:09:38,760 --> 00:09:43,920 Speaker 3: ostracize their enemies as opposed to confronting them openly and saying, hey, 171 00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:45,600 Speaker 3: we have a problem. We need to settle this. 172 00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:46,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, without a doubt. 173 00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:50,400 Speaker 3: Barry Weiss, in her letter of resignation from The New 174 00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:53,600 Speaker 3: York Times, described how colleagues referred to her in internal 175 00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:56,960 Speaker 3: slack messages as a racist, a Nazi, and a bigot. 176 00:09:57,120 --> 00:10:00,600 Speaker 3: And this is the most feminine part quote. Colleague perceived 177 00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:03,359 Speaker 3: to be friendly with me were badgered by coworkers. 178 00:10:03,800 --> 00:10:05,079 Speaker 1: Oh, she said her resignation. 179 00:10:05,160 --> 00:10:08,520 Speaker 3: Wow, Weiss wants asked to colleague at the Times opinion 180 00:10:08,559 --> 00:10:11,600 Speaker 3: desk to get coffee with her. This journalist, a biracial 181 00:10:11,640 --> 00:10:14,840 Speaker 3: woman who wrote frequently about race, refused to meet. This 182 00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:18,440 Speaker 3: was a failure to meet the basic standards of professionalism. 183 00:10:18,559 --> 00:10:21,679 Speaker 1: Obviously, it was also very feminine. 184 00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:24,600 Speaker 3: Men tend to be better at compartmentalizing than women and 185 00:10:24,720 --> 00:10:29,640 Speaker 3: wokeness was in many ways a society wide failure to compartmentalize. 186 00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:32,440 Speaker 1: Listen to this. This is another blockbuster point. 187 00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:38,120 Speaker 3: Traditionally, an individual doctor might have opinions on the political 188 00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:39,960 Speaker 3: issues of the day, but he would regard it as 189 00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:42,960 Speaker 3: his professional duty to keep those opinions out of the 190 00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:47,199 Speaker 3: examination room. Now that medicine has become more feminized, doctors 191 00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:51,520 Speaker 3: wear pins and lanyards expressing views on controversial issues. 192 00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:52,640 Speaker 1: From gay rights to gaza. 193 00:10:52,960 --> 00:10:55,400 Speaker 3: They even bring the credibility of their profession to bear 194 00:10:55,440 --> 00:10:58,600 Speaker 3: on political fads, as when doctors said Black Lives Matter 195 00:10:58,640 --> 00:11:02,600 Speaker 3: protests could continue in violation to COVID lockdowns because racism 196 00:11:02,679 --> 00:11:04,280 Speaker 3: was a public health emergency. 197 00:11:04,360 --> 00:11:05,440 Speaker 1: You're nodding your head, Kati. 198 00:11:05,480 --> 00:11:07,960 Speaker 4: You've been in a hospital situations a lot more than 199 00:11:08,040 --> 00:11:08,640 Speaker 4: us lately. 200 00:11:08,640 --> 00:11:09,200 Speaker 1: You've seen that. 201 00:11:09,559 --> 00:11:12,160 Speaker 6: Oh yeah, I've seen it. You know the little lanyards 202 00:11:12,160 --> 00:11:14,400 Speaker 6: where they it's like their key to the doors. They 203 00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:17,400 Speaker 6: all have the different little trinkets with you know, rainbows, 204 00:11:17,480 --> 00:11:19,600 Speaker 6: and I saw Palestinian flag recently. 205 00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:23,080 Speaker 3: Yeah, dudes wouldn't have done that. Now, one more note 206 00:11:23,080 --> 00:11:25,480 Speaker 3: and then we will take a break. One book that 207 00:11:25,520 --> 00:11:28,319 Speaker 3: helped me put together. The pieces was Warriors and Warriors 208 00:11:28,360 --> 00:11:31,840 Speaker 3: the Survival of the Sexes by psychology professor Joyce Beninson. 209 00:11:32,120 --> 00:11:34,560 Speaker 3: Practically all of the scientists cited in this article or women. 210 00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:36,320 Speaker 3: By the way, it's worth pointing out. I think she 211 00:11:36,520 --> 00:11:40,839 Speaker 3: theorizes that men developed group dynamics optimized for war, while 212 00:11:40,960 --> 00:11:45,439 Speaker 3: women developed group dynamics optimized for protecting their offspring. These habits, 213 00:11:45,480 --> 00:11:48,400 Speaker 3: formed in the mists of prehistory, explain why experimenters in 214 00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:52,160 Speaker 3: modern psychology labs in a study that Barrison sites, observe 215 00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:54,840 Speaker 3: that a group of men given a task will quote, 216 00:11:55,080 --> 00:11:59,720 Speaker 3: jockey for talking time, disagree loudly, and then cheerfully relate 217 00:11:59,760 --> 00:12:03,600 Speaker 3: a solution to the experimenter. A group of women given 218 00:12:03,640 --> 00:12:07,319 Speaker 3: the same task will quote politely inquire about one another's 219 00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:11,680 Speaker 3: personal background and relationships, accompanied by much eye contact, smiling, 220 00:12:11,760 --> 00:12:15,000 Speaker 3: and turn taking, and pay quote little attention to the 221 00:12:15,040 --> 00:12:19,040 Speaker 3: task that the experimenter presented. The point of war is 222 00:12:19,080 --> 00:12:22,520 Speaker 3: to settle disputes between two tribes, but it only works 223 00:12:22,559 --> 00:12:26,200 Speaker 3: if peace is restored after the dispute is settled. Men 224 00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:29,640 Speaker 3: therefore develop methods for reconciling with the proment opponents and 225 00:12:29,720 --> 00:12:33,920 Speaker 3: learning to live in peace with people they were fighting yesterday. Females, 226 00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:37,680 Speaker 3: even in primate species, are slower to reconcile than males. 227 00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:41,079 Speaker 3: That is because women's conflicts were traditionally within the tribe 228 00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:44,599 Speaker 3: or scarce resources, to be resolved not by open conflict, 229 00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:48,760 Speaker 3: but by covert competition with rivals with no clear end. 230 00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:53,840 Speaker 3: All of these observations match my observations of wokeness, but 231 00:12:53,960 --> 00:12:56,439 Speaker 3: soon the happy thrill of discovering a new theory eventually 232 00:12:56,440 --> 00:12:59,320 Speaker 3: gave way to a sinking feeling. If wokeness really is 233 00:12:59,360 --> 00:13:01,720 Speaker 3: the result of the greate feminization, then the eruption of 234 00:13:01,720 --> 00:13:04,640 Speaker 3: insanity in twenty twenty was just a small taste of 235 00:13:04,640 --> 00:13:07,160 Speaker 3: what the future holds. Imagine what will happen is the 236 00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:10,360 Speaker 3: remaining men age out of these society shaping professions and 237 00:13:10,400 --> 00:13:13,160 Speaker 3: the younger, more feminized generations take full control. 238 00:13:13,280 --> 00:13:15,520 Speaker 4: That's what I'm always saying that when we're all dead 239 00:13:15,559 --> 00:13:18,440 Speaker 4: who remember the before times, there won't be anybody around 240 00:13:18,440 --> 00:13:19,880 Speaker 4: to say, hey, it didn't used to be like this. 241 00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:23,400 Speaker 3: Let's take a quick break, then plunge on with this 242 00:13:23,480 --> 00:13:26,360 Speaker 3: because it trusts me, just keeps getting more interesting. 243 00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:28,280 Speaker 1: That is really interesting. Cool. 244 00:13:28,320 --> 00:13:30,120 Speaker 4: I will stay right here, and he thoughts text line 245 00:13:30,160 --> 00:13:37,600 Speaker 4: four one five two nine five kftcarrong. Hey, let's Trump 246 00:13:37,679 --> 00:13:40,120 Speaker 4: doing with that toll ballroom thing he's building there at 247 00:13:40,160 --> 00:13:41,840 Speaker 4: the White House? Is he knocking down parts of the 248 00:13:41,840 --> 00:13:44,440 Speaker 4: White House that are historic? That's a question that's out there, 249 00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:46,000 Speaker 4: and I don't actually know the answer to it. We'll 250 00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:48,240 Speaker 4: dig into that later, we'll talk about it. 251 00:13:48,320 --> 00:13:51,800 Speaker 3: Yep, we're working our way through an unbelievably interesting and 252 00:13:51,840 --> 00:13:55,240 Speaker 3: persuasive thought piece by Helen Andrews, the Great Feminization. If 253 00:13:55,280 --> 00:13:57,439 Speaker 3: you didn't hear the first chunk, circle back, grab the 254 00:13:57,480 --> 00:14:01,280 Speaker 3: podcast Armstrong and Giddy on demand. Our two of today's show, 255 00:14:01,760 --> 00:14:08,560 Speaker 3: plunging on the point being when institutions become unbalanced and 256 00:14:08,600 --> 00:14:14,480 Speaker 3: too heavily feminized, they function in a very woke way. 257 00:14:14,600 --> 00:14:17,440 Speaker 3: And again, if you didn't hear it, circle back. The 258 00:14:17,480 --> 00:14:19,840 Speaker 3: threat posed by wokeness can be large or small, depending 259 00:14:19,920 --> 00:14:23,320 Speaker 3: on the industry. She mentions, if your English department is feminized, 260 00:14:23,320 --> 00:14:27,040 Speaker 3: who cares? But the New York Times, for instance, often 261 00:14:27,080 --> 00:14:30,920 Speaker 3: determines what's publicly accepted as the truth, and that affects 262 00:14:30,960 --> 00:14:32,880 Speaker 3: every citizens agree. 263 00:14:32,640 --> 00:14:34,920 Speaker 4: With that completely Based on things I've read from Harold 264 00:14:34,920 --> 00:14:38,320 Speaker 4: Bloom of Yale about how English departments got so woke 265 00:14:38,400 --> 00:14:41,040 Speaker 4: they no longer teach Shakespeare other than how you know, 266 00:14:41,160 --> 00:14:42,840 Speaker 4: sexist he was and everything like that. 267 00:14:43,160 --> 00:14:45,440 Speaker 3: Yeah, I would agree. I think she understates that problem. 268 00:14:45,480 --> 00:14:47,880 Speaker 3: But anyway, she says, the field that frightens me most 269 00:14:47,920 --> 00:14:50,120 Speaker 3: is the law. All of us depend on a functioning 270 00:14:50,200 --> 00:14:52,240 Speaker 3: legal system, and it'd be blunt. The rule of law 271 00:14:52,280 --> 00:14:56,040 Speaker 3: will not survive the legal profession becoming majority female. The 272 00:14:56,120 --> 00:14:58,360 Speaker 3: rule of laws not just about writing rules down. It 273 00:14:58,400 --> 00:15:01,480 Speaker 3: means following them even they yield an outcome that tugs 274 00:15:01,480 --> 00:15:03,920 Speaker 3: at your heart strings or runs contrary to your gut 275 00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:07,400 Speaker 3: sense of which party is more sympathetic. Then she describes 276 00:15:07,440 --> 00:15:10,840 Speaker 3: the infamous Title nine courts for sexual assault under Obama, 277 00:15:11,280 --> 00:15:15,040 Speaker 3: how you didn't get to confront your accuser. The standard 278 00:15:15,080 --> 00:15:17,480 Speaker 3: rules of evidence were thrown out. It was just if 279 00:15:17,520 --> 00:15:19,280 Speaker 3: the gut feeling was that you were guilty. You were 280 00:15:19,360 --> 00:15:23,480 Speaker 3: thrown out of college as a guy. And she says 281 00:15:23,520 --> 00:15:25,720 Speaker 3: these two approaches to the law clashed vividly in the 282 00:15:25,720 --> 00:15:29,160 Speaker 3: Brett Kavanaugh confirmation hearings. The masculine position was that if 283 00:15:29,240 --> 00:15:32,400 Speaker 3: Christine Blasi Ford can't provide any concrete evidence that she 284 00:15:32,440 --> 00:15:34,880 Speaker 3: and Kavanaugh were ever in the same room together, her 285 00:15:34,880 --> 00:15:37,520 Speaker 3: accusations of rape cannot be allowed to ruin his life. 286 00:15:37,640 --> 00:15:40,960 Speaker 3: The feminine position was that her self evident emotional response 287 00:15:41,240 --> 00:15:44,160 Speaker 3: was itself a kind of credibility that the Senate Committee 288 00:15:44,240 --> 00:15:44,960 Speaker 3: must respect. 289 00:15:45,880 --> 00:15:47,200 Speaker 1: That's the way it was portrayed. 290 00:15:47,680 --> 00:15:51,080 Speaker 3: Yeah, if the legal profession becomes majority female, I expect 291 00:15:51,080 --> 00:15:54,119 Speaker 3: to see the ethos of the Title nine tribunals. Tribunals 292 00:15:54,120 --> 00:15:57,000 Speaker 3: and the Kavanaugh hearing spread. Judges will bend the rules 293 00:15:57,000 --> 00:16:00,440 Speaker 3: for favored groups, and we're already seeing that forced them 294 00:16:00,520 --> 00:16:03,880 Speaker 3: rigorously on disfavored groups, as already occurs to a worrying extent. 295 00:16:04,200 --> 00:16:06,760 Speaker 3: It was possible to believe back in the nineteen seventy 296 00:16:06,880 --> 00:16:09,560 Speaker 3: that introducing women in the legal profession in large numbers 297 00:16:09,560 --> 00:16:11,840 Speaker 3: would have only a minor effect. That belief is no 298 00:16:11,920 --> 00:16:16,920 Speaker 3: longer sustainable. The changes will be massive. Who Oddly enough, 299 00:16:17,480 --> 00:16:20,360 Speaker 3: both sides of the political spectrum agree on what those 300 00:16:20,480 --> 00:16:23,360 Speaker 3: changes will be. The only disagreement is to whether they'll 301 00:16:23,400 --> 00:16:26,840 Speaker 3: be good or bad. And she cites a left wing 302 00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:30,040 Speaker 3: book about Lady Justice, The Battle to Save America, with 303 00:16:30,080 --> 00:16:32,200 Speaker 3: a scene from the Supreme Court in twenty sixteen during 304 00:16:32,280 --> 00:16:36,640 Speaker 3: oral arguments over Texas abortion law. The three female justices, Ginsburg, Sodoma, 305 00:16:36,760 --> 00:16:40,320 Speaker 3: arnkeg and Quote ignored the formal time limits, talking exuberantly 306 00:16:40,360 --> 00:16:44,480 Speaker 3: over their male colleagues. Lithwick, the author, celebrated this as 307 00:16:44,520 --> 00:16:48,080 Speaker 3: an explosion of bottled up judicial girl power that afforded 308 00:16:48,120 --> 00:16:51,440 Speaker 3: America a glimpse of what genuine gender parody might have 309 00:16:51,520 --> 00:16:54,960 Speaker 3: meant for future women in powerful American legal institutions. She 310 00:16:55,160 --> 00:16:59,120 Speaker 3: lauds the women for their reverend attitude to the laws formalities. 311 00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:00,480 Speaker 5: Wow. 312 00:17:01,440 --> 00:17:03,600 Speaker 1: So the next. 313 00:17:03,320 --> 00:17:06,919 Speaker 3: Part when we come back contains my favorite line. You 314 00:17:06,960 --> 00:17:10,840 Speaker 3: will remember it for the rest of your life, no kidding. 315 00:17:11,080 --> 00:17:13,280 Speaker 3: The feminization of America and what's wrong with it? 316 00:17:13,359 --> 00:17:15,959 Speaker 1: Stay with us Armstrong and Getty. 317 00:17:17,600 --> 00:17:20,440 Speaker 4: Mass shooting avoided at the busiest import in America. 318 00:17:20,520 --> 00:17:21,320 Speaker 1: Thank god. 319 00:17:21,760 --> 00:17:25,040 Speaker 4: We've got the footage of when police encountered the guy 320 00:17:25,280 --> 00:17:27,320 Speaker 4: before he was able to shoot a bunch of people. 321 00:17:27,680 --> 00:17:30,360 Speaker 1: It's pretty danged interesting. We'll get to that a little later. 322 00:17:31,119 --> 00:17:34,400 Speaker 3: So we've been working our way through an absolutely brilliant 323 00:17:34,640 --> 00:17:37,800 Speaker 3: and eye opening essay by the author Helen Andrews, called 324 00:17:37,800 --> 00:17:41,040 Speaker 3: The Great Feminization. If you are just tuning in, just 325 00:17:41,119 --> 00:17:44,080 Speaker 3: jumping in, I encourage you to grab the podcast Armstrong 326 00:17:44,080 --> 00:17:47,120 Speaker 3: and Getty on demand and circle back to the beginning. 327 00:17:47,800 --> 00:17:50,159 Speaker 3: And again, this is not about what's wrong with women. 328 00:17:50,359 --> 00:17:55,960 Speaker 3: It's about what's so important about balance between men and women, 329 00:17:56,000 --> 00:17:59,480 Speaker 3: because men and women are very different, just speaking in 330 00:17:59,520 --> 00:18:03,679 Speaker 3: general generalities, in ways that she has described. Continuing on 331 00:18:03,720 --> 00:18:07,080 Speaker 3: with the essay, the great feminization is truly unprecedented. Other 332 00:18:07,119 --> 00:18:10,000 Speaker 3: civilizations have given women the vote, granted them property rights, 333 00:18:10,040 --> 00:18:12,840 Speaker 3: let them inherit the thrones of empires, But no civilization 334 00:18:12,880 --> 00:18:15,600 Speaker 3: in human history has ever experimented with letting women control 335 00:18:15,760 --> 00:18:19,199 Speaker 3: so many vital institutions of our society, from political parties 336 00:18:19,240 --> 00:18:20,800 Speaker 3: to universities to our largest business. 337 00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:22,240 Speaker 1: That's an excellent point. 338 00:18:23,160 --> 00:18:25,560 Speaker 3: Even where women do not hold the top spots, women 339 00:18:25,640 --> 00:18:28,720 Speaker 3: set the tone in these organizations such that a male 340 00:18:28,840 --> 00:18:31,440 Speaker 3: CEO must operate within the limits set by a human 341 00:18:31,560 --> 00:18:35,159 Speaker 3: resources VP. We assume that these institutions will continue to 342 00:18:35,200 --> 00:18:37,560 Speaker 3: function under these completely novel circumstances. 343 00:18:37,640 --> 00:18:38,439 Speaker 1: But what are our. 344 00:18:38,280 --> 00:18:40,960 Speaker 3: Grounds for that assumption. The problem is not that women 345 00:18:40,960 --> 00:18:43,320 Speaker 3: are less talented than men, or even that female modes 346 00:18:43,320 --> 00:18:44,960 Speaker 3: of interaction are inferior in. 347 00:18:44,960 --> 00:18:46,119 Speaker 1: Any objective sense. 348 00:18:46,560 --> 00:18:49,000 Speaker 3: The problem is that female modes of interaction are not 349 00:18:49,040 --> 00:18:52,240 Speaker 3: well suited to accomplishing the goals of many major institutions. 350 00:18:52,640 --> 00:18:55,359 Speaker 3: You can have an academia that is majority female, but 351 00:18:55,480 --> 00:18:59,040 Speaker 3: it will be as majority female departments in today's universities 352 00:18:59,080 --> 00:19:02,520 Speaker 3: already are oriented toward other goals than open debate and 353 00:19:02,560 --> 00:19:06,000 Speaker 3: the unfettered pursuit of truth. And if your academia doesn't 354 00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:08,639 Speaker 3: pursue truth, what good is it? And if your journalists 355 00:19:08,680 --> 00:19:13,280 Speaker 3: aren't prickly individualists who don't mind alienating people, what good 356 00:19:13,320 --> 00:19:13,720 Speaker 3: are they? 357 00:19:13,920 --> 00:19:14,520 Speaker 1: Okay, if a. 358 00:19:14,480 --> 00:19:17,840 Speaker 3: Business one more, If a business loses its swashbuckling spirit 359 00:19:17,880 --> 00:19:21,480 Speaker 3: and becomes a feminized, inward focused bureaucracy, will it not stagnate? 360 00:19:21,880 --> 00:19:24,800 Speaker 4: She doesn't want to say it, You're not gonna say it. 361 00:19:24,880 --> 00:19:25,320 Speaker 4: I'll say it. 362 00:19:25,320 --> 00:19:27,560 Speaker 1: I'm already single, but I can't do myself any harm. 363 00:19:27,760 --> 00:19:28,600 Speaker 1: It's possible. 364 00:19:28,800 --> 00:19:31,840 Speaker 5: You can't run a world where women are in charge 365 00:19:32,080 --> 00:19:35,960 Speaker 5: of any organizations, not any organizations, lots of organizations. 366 00:19:36,480 --> 00:19:39,000 Speaker 1: It's just possible that it will not work. 367 00:19:39,359 --> 00:19:42,040 Speaker 3: Right right, And we're working up to my favorite line 368 00:19:42,080 --> 00:19:43,600 Speaker 3: of all that I will remember for the rest of 369 00:19:43,600 --> 00:19:47,879 Speaker 3: my life. If the great feminization poses a threat to civilization, 370 00:19:47,920 --> 00:19:50,439 Speaker 3: the question becomes whether it's anything we can do about it? 371 00:19:50,520 --> 00:19:52,440 Speaker 3: The answer depends on why you think it occurred in 372 00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:54,440 Speaker 3: the first place. There are many people who think that 373 00:19:54,480 --> 00:19:57,680 Speaker 3: the Great feminization is naturally occurring. Women were finally given 374 00:19:57,680 --> 00:19:59,320 Speaker 3: a chance to compete with men, and it turned out 375 00:19:59,359 --> 00:20:01,600 Speaker 3: they were just That is why there are so many 376 00:20:01,640 --> 00:20:04,280 Speaker 3: women in our newsrooms, running our political parties, et cetera. 377 00:20:04,800 --> 00:20:07,960 Speaker 3: And Ross doth that too. I generally like describe that 378 00:20:08,080 --> 00:20:10,879 Speaker 3: length that sort of thinking. He said, this is just 379 00:20:10,960 --> 00:20:14,240 Speaker 3: a long male wine about a failure to adequately compete. 380 00:20:14,640 --> 00:20:16,800 Speaker 3: Maybe you should suck it up and actually compete on 381 00:20:16,840 --> 00:20:18,919 Speaker 3: the ground that we have in twenty first century America. 382 00:20:18,960 --> 00:20:20,560 Speaker 1: Now the ground is shifted, dude. 383 00:20:21,119 --> 00:20:24,040 Speaker 3: Well, yeah, I appreciate the counter argument, because it's always 384 00:20:24,040 --> 00:20:26,920 Speaker 3: handy when you're trying to assess an idea. But that 385 00:20:27,040 --> 00:20:29,760 Speaker 3: is what feminists think is happening, she writes. But they 386 00:20:29,800 --> 00:20:32,840 Speaker 3: are wrong. Feminization is not an organic result of women 387 00:20:32,840 --> 00:20:36,720 Speaker 3: out competing men. It is an artificial result of social engineering. 388 00:20:36,880 --> 00:20:38,560 Speaker 3: And if we take our thumb off the scale, it 389 00:20:38,600 --> 00:20:42,040 Speaker 3: will collapse within a generation. The most obvious thumb on 390 00:20:42,080 --> 00:20:45,439 Speaker 3: the scale, excuse me, is anti discrimination law. It is 391 00:20:45,480 --> 00:20:49,200 Speaker 3: illegal to employ too few women at your company. If 392 00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:51,920 Speaker 3: women are underrepresented especially in your higher management. That is 393 00:20:51,960 --> 00:20:54,920 Speaker 3: a lawsuit waiting to happen. As a result, employers give 394 00:20:54,960 --> 00:20:57,639 Speaker 3: women jobs and promotions they would not otherwise have gotten, 395 00:20:57,840 --> 00:20:59,560 Speaker 3: simply in order to keep their numbers up. 396 00:20:59,800 --> 00:21:01,280 Speaker 1: It's rational for them to. 397 00:21:01,280 --> 00:21:03,760 Speaker 3: Do this because the consequences for failing to do so 398 00:21:04,080 --> 00:21:07,040 Speaker 3: can be dire. And she mentions a bunch of nine 399 00:21:07,200 --> 00:21:10,520 Speaker 3: figure settlements. That's hundreds of millions of dollars, and how 400 00:21:10,560 --> 00:21:13,639 Speaker 3: no manager wants that to happen on their watch. Anti 401 00:21:13,680 --> 00:21:17,400 Speaker 3: discrimination law requires that every workplace be feminized. Now Here, 402 00:21:17,560 --> 00:21:21,120 Speaker 3: we're leading up to my favorite line. A landmark case 403 00:21:21,119 --> 00:21:23,240 Speaker 3: in nineteen ninety one found that pin up posters on 404 00:21:23,240 --> 00:21:26,200 Speaker 3: the walls of a shipyard constituted a hostile environment for women, 405 00:21:26,520 --> 00:21:30,000 Speaker 3: and that principle. That principle has grown to accompass many 406 00:21:30,040 --> 00:21:34,159 Speaker 3: forms of masculine conduct. Dozens of Silicon Valley companies have 407 00:21:34,160 --> 00:21:37,360 Speaker 3: been hit with lawsuits alleging quote frat boy culture or 408 00:21:37,600 --> 00:21:40,800 Speaker 3: toxic bro culture, and a law firm specializing in these 409 00:21:40,840 --> 00:21:43,760 Speaker 3: suits brags of settlements ranging from four hundred and fifty 410 00:21:43,800 --> 00:21:45,280 Speaker 3: thousand dollars to eight million dollars. 411 00:21:45,920 --> 00:21:47,280 Speaker 1: Women can here, it is. 412 00:21:48,800 --> 00:21:52,199 Speaker 3: Women can sue their bosses for running a workplace that 413 00:21:52,320 --> 00:21:56,160 Speaker 3: feels like a fraternity house, but men cannot sue when 414 00:21:56,200 --> 00:21:59,160 Speaker 3: their workplace feels like a Montessori kindergarten. 415 00:22:01,280 --> 00:22:02,320 Speaker 1: That's really good. 416 00:22:02,960 --> 00:22:05,920 Speaker 4: And you know what, a lot of workplaces do look 417 00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:07,960 Speaker 4: like feel like a Montessori kindergarten. 418 00:22:08,600 --> 00:22:11,280 Speaker 3: Naturally, employers err on the side of making the office softer. 419 00:22:11,400 --> 00:22:14,080 Speaker 3: So if women are thriving more in the modern workplace, 420 00:22:14,240 --> 00:22:16,000 Speaker 3: is that really because they're out competing men? 421 00:22:16,080 --> 00:22:17,679 Speaker 1: Or is it because the rules have been changing to 422 00:22:17,680 --> 00:22:18,119 Speaker 1: favor them? 423 00:22:18,119 --> 00:22:21,720 Speaker 5: That's what I said. The ground is shifted man right, right, yep. 424 00:22:21,960 --> 00:22:23,800 Speaker 3: A lot can be a fur inferred from the way 425 00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:27,440 Speaker 3: that feminizations tend to increase over time. Once institutions reach 426 00:22:27,480 --> 00:22:29,440 Speaker 3: a fifty to fifty split, they tend to blow past 427 00:22:29,520 --> 00:22:32,840 Speaker 3: gender parody and become more and more female. And she 428 00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:36,560 Speaker 3: mentions that in eight years, law schools went from fifty 429 00:22:36,560 --> 00:22:40,560 Speaker 3: to fifty to fifty six percent. Psychology, once predominantly a 430 00:22:40,600 --> 00:22:44,560 Speaker 3: male field, is now overwhelmingly female, with seventy five percent 431 00:22:44,560 --> 00:22:48,200 Speaker 3: of psychology doctorate's going to women. That does not look 432 00:22:48,240 --> 00:22:50,639 Speaker 3: like women out performing men. It looks like women driving 433 00:22:50,680 --> 00:22:54,320 Speaker 3: men away by imposing feminine norms on previously male institutions. 434 00:22:54,359 --> 00:22:54,680 Speaker 1: I can't. 435 00:22:54,680 --> 00:22:56,680 Speaker 3: By the way, I would never argue that all men 436 00:22:56,800 --> 00:22:57,560 Speaker 3: is a good idea. 437 00:22:58,160 --> 00:23:01,640 Speaker 1: No, that's an assilly idea. No, no, no, Uh what man? 438 00:23:01,760 --> 00:23:02,840 Speaker 1: One more quick point? 439 00:23:03,040 --> 00:23:05,280 Speaker 3: What man wants to work in a field where his 440 00:23:05,400 --> 00:23:08,960 Speaker 3: traits are not welcomed? What self respecting male graduate student 441 00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:11,919 Speaker 3: we're pursuit would pursue a career in academia when his 442 00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:15,560 Speaker 3: peers will ostracize him for stating his disagreements too bluntly 443 00:23:15,760 --> 00:23:17,480 Speaker 3: or espousing a controversial opinion. 444 00:23:17,560 --> 00:23:19,280 Speaker 4: I can't imagine what would be like a dude to 445 00:23:19,320 --> 00:23:23,879 Speaker 4: be in psychology grad school. Oh my god, you just 446 00:23:23,920 --> 00:23:26,080 Speaker 4: have to keep your mouth shut about everything. But you know, 447 00:23:26,160 --> 00:23:29,040 Speaker 4: you can take this down to lower level for boys 448 00:23:29,080 --> 00:23:32,560 Speaker 4: in you know, grade school, in high school. You got 449 00:23:32,560 --> 00:23:37,480 Speaker 4: to fit in with the Montessori kindergarten attitude. 450 00:23:37,600 --> 00:23:41,960 Speaker 3: Right, Acting like a boy is toxic and that's misbehavior. 451 00:23:42,280 --> 00:23:46,399 Speaker 3: Having boundless energy and needing to run around is misbehavior 452 00:23:46,760 --> 00:23:48,879 Speaker 3: according to our school systems. Don't get me started. I 453 00:23:48,880 --> 00:23:52,640 Speaker 3: could go on forever anyway. Final part, Now, it's good 454 00:23:52,640 --> 00:23:55,639 Speaker 3: that people. Oh, she mentions the great reception she's gotten 455 00:23:55,680 --> 00:23:57,760 Speaker 3: to these ideas, to the point. 456 00:23:57,480 --> 00:23:58,400 Speaker 1: That it's shocked her. 457 00:23:58,840 --> 00:24:01,040 Speaker 3: It's good that people are saying to the argument, because 458 00:24:01,040 --> 00:24:03,760 Speaker 3: our window to do something about the great feminization is closing. 459 00:24:03,880 --> 00:24:07,159 Speaker 3: There are leading indicators and lagging indicators of feminization. We 460 00:24:07,200 --> 00:24:09,720 Speaker 3: are currently at the in between stage where law schools 461 00:24:09,720 --> 00:24:12,600 Speaker 3: are majority female but the federal bench is still majority male. 462 00:24:12,880 --> 00:24:15,080 Speaker 3: In a few decades, the gender shift will have reached 463 00:24:15,080 --> 00:24:18,399 Speaker 3: its natural conclusion. Many people think wokeness is over, slain 464 00:24:18,480 --> 00:24:21,240 Speaker 3: by the vibeeshipt shift. But if wokeness is the result 465 00:24:21,440 --> 00:24:24,639 Speaker 3: of demographic feminization, then it will never be over as 466 00:24:24,640 --> 00:24:27,320 Speaker 3: long as the demographics remain unchanged. And I would say, 467 00:24:27,359 --> 00:24:30,240 Speaker 3: you know, young females these days are so radically leftists, 468 00:24:30,240 --> 00:24:34,080 Speaker 3: it'll be even worse. We simply have to restore fair rules. 469 00:24:34,320 --> 00:24:39,440 Speaker 3: Right now, we have a nominally meritocratic system in which 470 00:24:39,440 --> 00:24:42,119 Speaker 3: it is illegal for women to lose. Let's make hiring 471 00:24:42,200 --> 00:24:44,840 Speaker 3: meritigratic in substance and not just name. We'll see how 472 00:24:44,880 --> 00:24:47,639 Speaker 3: it shakes out. Make it legal to have a masculine 473 00:24:47,640 --> 00:24:51,600 Speaker 3: office culture again. Remove the hr lady's veto power. I 474 00:24:51,640 --> 00:24:53,760 Speaker 3: think people will be surprised to discover how much of 475 00:24:53,800 --> 00:24:57,639 Speaker 3: our current feminization is attributable to institutional changes. Like the 476 00:24:57,720 --> 00:25:00,840 Speaker 3: advent of HR, which were brought about by legal changes, 477 00:25:00,880 --> 00:25:03,560 Speaker 3: in which legal changes can reverse. I've got an article 478 00:25:03,640 --> 00:25:07,280 Speaker 3: about a speaker being disinvited to an HR conference because 479 00:25:07,320 --> 00:25:12,040 Speaker 3: he dared challenge the woke conventional wisdom in HR. She writes, 480 00:25:12,080 --> 00:25:14,320 Speaker 3: because after all, I am not just a woman. I 481 00:25:14,359 --> 00:25:16,959 Speaker 3: am also someone with a lot of disagreeable opinions who 482 00:25:16,960 --> 00:25:20,160 Speaker 3: will find it hard to flourish if society becomes more 483 00:25:20,240 --> 00:25:23,439 Speaker 3: conflict averse and consensus driven. I am the mother of 484 00:25:23,520 --> 00:25:26,080 Speaker 3: sons who will never reach their full potential if they 485 00:25:26,080 --> 00:25:28,360 Speaker 3: have to grow up in a feminized world. I am 486 00:25:28,480 --> 00:25:31,719 Speaker 3: We all are dependent on institutions like the legal system, 487 00:25:31,960 --> 00:25:35,560 Speaker 3: scientific research, and democratic politics that support the American way 488 00:25:35,560 --> 00:25:37,920 Speaker 3: of life, and we will all suffer if they cease 489 00:25:37,960 --> 00:25:40,720 Speaker 3: to perform the tasks they were designed to do. 490 00:25:42,320 --> 00:25:45,480 Speaker 4: Yeah, that is really really interesting. I'm not optimistic about 491 00:25:45,480 --> 00:25:53,560 Speaker 4: this turning around. And the United States doesn't get to 492 00:25:54,000 --> 00:25:56,119 Speaker 4: live in a vacuum either. So you can talk about 493 00:25:56,160 --> 00:25:58,439 Speaker 4: just our domestic culture and how it might not be 494 00:25:58,560 --> 00:26:00,879 Speaker 4: fair to men or boys in the future and this 495 00:26:00,920 --> 00:26:04,160 Speaker 4: and that, but we have to compete with other countries 496 00:26:04,240 --> 00:26:06,960 Speaker 4: and China ain't worried about this crap all right, and 497 00:26:07,080 --> 00:26:10,160 Speaker 4: the male dominated culture will take over. 498 00:26:10,920 --> 00:26:16,359 Speaker 3: Oh yeah, it'll obliterate the female dominated culture. The problem 499 00:26:16,440 --> 00:26:17,960 Speaker 3: with all this, and getting back to my point that 500 00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:20,680 Speaker 3: it absolutely is tied to neo Marxism, even though Helen 501 00:26:20,800 --> 00:26:25,400 Speaker 3: Andrews says she doesn't think it is, is that Marxism 502 00:26:25,480 --> 00:26:31,119 Speaker 3: is by its nature like collaborativeness enforced at the point 503 00:26:31,119 --> 00:26:36,480 Speaker 3: of a gun, whereas more masculine culture in general is Hey, 504 00:26:36,560 --> 00:26:40,000 Speaker 3: if we haven't have a disagreement, we're gonna say so 505 00:26:40,160 --> 00:26:44,439 Speaker 3: out loud. We're gonna have it out in public and 506 00:26:44,480 --> 00:26:47,000 Speaker 3: figure out whose idea wins, or maybe we'll beat on 507 00:26:47,040 --> 00:26:50,399 Speaker 3: each other till one of us submits. That sort of 508 00:26:50,520 --> 00:26:56,160 Speaker 3: dissent is utterly forbidden in Marxism, just as in feminized cultures, 509 00:26:56,359 --> 00:27:01,040 Speaker 3: standing up and saying, for instance, look, only a woman 510 00:27:01,160 --> 00:27:04,959 Speaker 3: can give birth. I mean that is self evidently true. 511 00:27:05,640 --> 00:27:09,000 Speaker 3: No one can deny that you would be run out 512 00:27:09,000 --> 00:27:12,240 Speaker 3: of a profession for saying that if your professional's academia 513 00:27:12,320 --> 00:27:14,960 Speaker 3: or even law schools these days, and that ought to 514 00:27:15,000 --> 00:27:15,680 Speaker 3: scare you. 515 00:27:17,720 --> 00:27:20,080 Speaker 4: Yeah, like I said, I'm not optimistic that this will 516 00:27:20,080 --> 00:27:20,760 Speaker 4: turn around. 517 00:27:22,040 --> 00:27:25,159 Speaker 3: We will post a link to this The Great Feminization 518 00:27:25,240 --> 00:27:27,679 Speaker 3: by Helen Andrews at Armstrong and getty dot com.

They would be spitting nails. I mean, 526 00:27:43,200 --> 00:27:46,440 Speaker 4: red faced angry about that. But I also know that's fine. 527 00:27:47,040 --> 00:27:50,800 Speaker 4: I also know they're wrong, They're completely wrong. I also 528 00:27:50,840 --> 00:27:53,439 Speaker 4: know a handful of woman who women women. I know 529 00:27:53,480 --> 00:27:55,359 Speaker 4: one woman in particular i'm thinking about. She's a woman 530 00:27:55,359 --> 00:27:58,159 Speaker 4: and she's got three daughters. Who agrees one hundred percent 531 00:27:58,200 --> 00:27:59,040 Speaker 4: with all that stuff. 532 00:27:59,560 --> 00:28:06,800 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, it's about balance and the male Sure, I 533 00:28:07,119 --> 00:28:08,760 Speaker 3: understand why we got to say that, and you might 534 00:28:08,760 --> 00:28:10,200 Speaker 3: be right, but I'm not sure that's true. 535 00:28:10,720 --> 00:28:13,040 Speaker 1: Well, no, it's I would. 536 00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:15,360 Speaker 3: Argue, I actually agree with you. I might just put 537 00:28:15,359 --> 00:28:19,280 Speaker 3: it a little differently. You must have the predominantly. This 538 00:28:19,359 --> 00:28:22,280 Speaker 3: is not about individuals. It's just a generalized assessment of 539 00:28:22,359 --> 00:28:24,760 Speaker 3: large groups, and the larger the group, the more the 540 00:28:24,800 --> 00:28:29,480 Speaker 3: tendency tends to be true. The male tendency is we 541 00:28:29,720 --> 00:28:33,680 Speaker 3: have to have rules that we follow even if they 542 00:28:33,720 --> 00:28:37,800 Speaker 3: make us sad. We have to allow dissent. We have 543 00:28:37,920 --> 00:28:40,040 Speaker 3: to be able to say I think you're wrong and 544 00:28:40,160 --> 00:28:45,760 Speaker 3: have it out. Fairness is important, but rules based fairness, 545 00:28:45,800 --> 00:28:47,360 Speaker 3: not emotional fairness. 546 00:28:47,640 --> 00:28:49,200 Speaker 4: Well, you got to go back to the beginning of 547 00:28:49,200 --> 00:28:51,080 Speaker 4: this thing, and the whole Larry Summers thing, which they 548 00:28:51,200 --> 00:28:54,080 Speaker 4: uses the GRAMD zero for this patient zero of this 549 00:28:54,120 --> 00:28:57,080 Speaker 4: whole thing starting if you are the sort of person 550 00:28:57,120 --> 00:28:58,640 Speaker 4: I don't care if you're a man or a woman, 551 00:28:58,720 --> 00:29:01,040 Speaker 4: they would just tend to be a woman who thinks 552 00:29:01,080 --> 00:29:04,840 Speaker 4: that made sense. You can't run anything. And if you 553 00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:08,040 Speaker 4: believe that that was crazy, that a guy. 554 00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:16,480 Speaker 5: Just stating actual fact, demonstratable fact based into decidable, indisputable 555 00:29:16,520 --> 00:29:19,600 Speaker 5: facts is somehow wrong because it made people feel bad. 556 00:29:19,840 --> 00:29:22,320 Speaker 5: I mean, but if you agree with that, then you 557 00:29:22,320 --> 00:29:24,840 Speaker 5: can run things man or woman. You know, Margaret Thatcher, 558 00:29:24,920 --> 00:29:26,720 Speaker 5: you could come up with all kinds of examples people. 559 00:29:26,760 --> 00:29:30,880 Speaker 5: You know that, you know it wasn't exactly the feminization 560 00:29:31,000 --> 00:29:33,200 Speaker 5: problem even though she was a woman. But yeah, I mean, 561 00:29:33,240 --> 00:29:35,920 Speaker 5: you could just base it on that. Read every people's story. 562 00:29:35,960 --> 00:29:38,040 Speaker 5: People who think that made sense to put him out 563 00:29:38,040 --> 00:29:39,920 Speaker 5: of a Harvard I don't want you run in anything. 564 00:29:40,200 --> 00:29:42,280 Speaker 5: People who think that was wrong. Man or woman, you 565 00:29:42,320 --> 00:29:43,400 Speaker 5: can be in charge of stuff. 566 00:29:43,840 --> 00:29:47,000 Speaker 3: The people who canceled Dry Summers and ran him out 567 00:29:47,000 --> 00:29:49,600 Speaker 3: of Harvard, even though what he said was when entirely 568 00:29:49,640 --> 00:29:53,160 Speaker 3: scientifically indisputable, would have been the very same people, and 569 00:29:53,200 --> 00:29:55,400 Speaker 3: a couple of them are scientists, and this irony is 570 00:29:55,480 --> 00:29:58,840 Speaker 3: too much for me. They would have absolutely been in 571 00:29:58,920 --> 00:30:06,000 Speaker 3: favor of executing Galileo or Copernicus for daring to make 572 00:30:06,080 --> 00:30:09,200 Speaker 3: everybody feel bad in questioning the status quo. And they 573 00:30:09,200 --> 00:30:10,320 Speaker 3: call themselves scientists. 574 00:30:11,280 --> 00:30:14,320 Speaker 4: Yeah, that is something that you quoted a biologist to 575 00:30:14,800 --> 00:30:15,600 Speaker 4: a scientist. 576 00:30:16,520 --> 00:30:18,080 Speaker 1: Yeah, you're a biologist. 577 00:30:18,160 --> 00:30:21,640 Speaker 4: You've got a PhD in biology, and you're denying the 578 00:30:21,760 --> 00:30:24,360 Speaker 4: science of what Larry Summers said at Harvard, and he 579 00:30:24,400 --> 00:30:25,040 Speaker 4: should be fired. 580 00:30:25,080 --> 00:30:26,080 Speaker 1: That's so crazy. 581 00:30:26,400 --> 00:30:30,280 Speaker 3: When he started talking about innate differences between men and women, 582 00:30:30,360 --> 00:30:32,720 Speaker 3: I just couldn't breathe because this kind of bias makes 583 00:30:32,760 --> 00:30:36,640 Speaker 3: me physically ill. Even though Summers made it utterly clear 584 00:30:36,760 --> 00:30:40,000 Speaker 3: what he was trying to say, this is tendencies among groups. 585 00:30:40,320 --> 00:30:43,240 Speaker 3: More men than women have this tendency. He was hounded 586 00:30:43,280 --> 00:30:47,240 Speaker 3: out of his job for that.
