Data analysis reveals that feminism has created distinct religious trends between genders: among men, the fastest growing religions are Orthodox Christianity, Roman Catholicism, and evangelicalism (patriarchal traditions), while among women, the fastest growing are witchcraft, new age spirituality, and religious unaffiliation (matriarchal/egalitarian traditions). This gender divide suggests that feminist ideology has influenced religious choices differently across genders, with women increasingly drawn to spiritualities emphasizing the divine feminine, personal autonomy, and emotional healing, while men gravitate toward traditional hierarchical religious structures.

Stay tuned.
Um but anyhow, uh as you come in, drop a comment in the chat and I'll shout you out. As is our usual protocol. Keep in mind I do have a super chat going live for these morning shows. So, please like, share, and support the show.
today's show [laughter] and um this is not uh a madeup sort of uh depiction.
Uh this is uh actual data that's being collected and it shows that the fastest fastest growing religions amongst men are not the fastest growing amongst women in 2026.
uh number one for men being orthodoxy orthodox Christianity.
Number two, uh, Roman Catholicism. And I had been talking about how the high church has been growing a lot of converts. And number three, evangelicalism.
But notice what we have here on the right.
Notice what the number one fastest growing religion is on the right. Witchcraft.
Number two, new age spirituality. And number three, religious religiously unaffiliated.
Uh spiritual but not religious. Right.
Now, today's show is about feminism's effect on religion.
Feminism's effect on religion.
And I've got a couple videos that we're going to use to uh contextualize this topic.
Our primary video is uh lungs of faith.
Shout out to Lungs of Faith.
Um, it's so Orthodox u guy does really really excellent videos. Uh, we've reviewed a couple of his videos on the channel. Very well done, very well-edited videos and and um I think he makes a compelling uh compelling case for whatever his topic is. So, uh, shout out to him. The name of his video is this is the end of our civilization.
This is the end of our civilization.
And on his thumbnail, his thumbnail actually uh let me uh let me let me get my Discord up here.
I want to show you the image that he used.
I'm going to show you the image that he used on his thumbnail. Here it is right here.
Wait a minute. There it is. Oh, no, it's not. Let me do it. Um, okay. So, I think I have to do it a different way. So I have to do copy image and then is it going to let me paste the image.
[sighs and gasps] Okay, there we go.
Goddess worship.
And of course, we've got some usual suspects on the cover uh being depicted here, but goddess worship.
Now, this is uh quite the departure.
from old from oldtime religion, traditional religion, you know, religion where there was a very clear expectation.
um for women as it related to family structure, modesty, decorum, and the like.
Notice again that on the on the image that I put on the left here for our thumbnail, these religions have really very specific, particularly the top two have very specific expectations for mode of conduct, right? They are patriarchal.
Notice that the ones on the right are more matriarchal gyocratic, you know, egalitarian.
And so, of course, you know that those that are being em embraced uh and have been the most impacted by feminism are of course the ones on the right. Now look, understand that feminism is in the water.
We're all drinking it, right? [snorts] We're all drinking it.
And part of having these conversations is to recognize what things that we've taken for granted which actually are fruit from the poisonous tree as it were.
And so individuals even in the communities on the left there, Orthodoxy, Roman, Roman Catholicism, and evangelical evangelicalism, they are people that have been indoctrinated with the same feminism.
I'm talking about the individuals.
Though the structure be resistant to feminism, you may have individuals that are out and out feminist. I mean, a good example of this was the woman uh the black woman from was Sasha Whitney from um our primary topic yesterday.
She's a Catholic, but she's like advocating for all of this, you know, basically feminist propaganda, celebrating women getting divorced, celebrating, you know, stuff that clearly is not Catholic, right?
>> [snorts] >> So anyhow, so this is a pretty interesting uh sort of topic. We're we're going to get into it. Uh our second video today, uh I've got a video by Steph Mar uh Marcel or Marcy Steph Marcy.
And uh again, she is on our prime topic and she's talking about why does feminism still exist. I've got a third video. We've got three videos that are contextualizing our main event today.
Our third video, Dr. Kari Bryant, women pastors in the feminist church takeover.
Right. So, we're talking about feminists uh feminism's effect on religion.
This is going to be a good a good topic there, a good video.
Um, now our secondary topic today, Eric Erica Campbell on female cheating. She's taking some heat right now because her comments, her commentary on a recent podcast, radio interview, whatever that's gone viral, it is implying that, oh, women are out here cheating just like men are.
Um, the difference is and the the reason that we think that men cheat more is because when a man cheats, a woman gets on social media and puts him on blast.
But when a woman cheats, a man will be, you know, of course, embarrassed by that and he won't get on there and be putting it on blast. He's not on the women and also men just are not are just not in um not on social media like that posting their their business not using Tik Tok as a you know as some sort of uh you know therapy or something you know as their diary.
[sighs] And so a lot of that infid those infidelity stories men are just keeping to themselves or men might be discussing but we'll probably be discussing in communities even if it is online that are not getting a lot lot a lot of eyeballs.
Put it that way.
[snorts] But we know that the rate of uh female cheating is when you just consider physical cheating is pretty close.
Okay? So if 20% of guys are cheating, 18% of women are cheating, you know, so we're talking about pretty close.
But if you consider uh advertising, uh doing things that are um again advertising your availability, uh doing things for the sake of validation from from other men.
If we're considering that as cheating, then women are uh in the modern context, women are cheating far more frequently than men are, right?
So, we'll check that out. That'll be an interesting thing. That's a Rivet TV um uh clip we have there or segment, whatever.
We're going to complete our uh is feminism an intraex uh sexual competitive strategy um topic from yesterday.
Uh I don't know. Let's see what do we have. We've got about about 20 more minutes of that. Uh, and this of course is an interaction between uh Hannah Spire and uh Dr. uh Danny uh Solicowski has been an excellent excellent interview. Uh, excellent interaction.
Um, very interesting. But we're going to start the show today. Uh, you know, one of the things that I've been discussing is revisionist history. Revisionist history.
There is a lot of feminist propaganda that paints false depiction.
It depicts rather depicts the past in a way that it actually wasn't.
And this is not the same as saying that there were no issues in the past. It's not to say that um everything was peachy king and everything was beautiful and like this.
It's not to say that at all.
But there are many things that are being said that are just flatout false.
Now, we had been talking about this whole um propaganda that women couldn't have a bank account and they couldn't own anything and all like this. And of course we showed that that is patently false. It's patently false if you just used the plantation uh you know transference of plantations you know owning ninjas, [laughter] right?
Slaves being bequeathed to women, right?
You know the father the woman's father dies. He doesn't have a male heir. He gives the the slaves to to his daughter [snorts] or even if he does, he just decides she'll be she would be better, bequest the the slaves to the you know to the daughter.
Um so that that shows that women could own property.
A married woman could not own property because she could not be held accountable or responsible for paying um you know for debts.
Uh but if she was single or if she was a widow, right? Uh most certainly women could own property, businesses, uh have a bank account, all of that stuff. So it is it is false. It's completely and totally false.
Uh you know that's revisionist history.
But we have another example of re revisionist history that we're going to clear up today.
And um and that is this idea that women couldn't work prior to 1940.
Okay. Now we already know that black women always worked. We we know that. So that's that is just a we we and I don't even think that people even try to, you know, dispute that. But what we're talking about here is white women, dominant society women. Were they permitted to work prior to 1940?
Now the propaganda, the revisionist history suggests that no, they were not.
And this is one of the reasons why feminism was necessary.
But as you go back, you discover that this is hogwash. It's actually not true.
And uh so and we've got a white woman that is [clears throat] that is going into detail about this. So um uh her name well she's got a channel called Family History um Fanatics.
So, pretty interesting.
So, this is gonna be a good this is going to be a good good show. Uh, if you liked yesterday's show, we're we're yeah, we're we're kind of continuing in that same vein. So, anyhow, thanks for being here. Uh, let me shout some folks out, run the warning again, and then we'll get into the show. Uh, what's happening, John Smith, Q Vision, DRO0861.
Uh, let's see here. Matrix Media.
Um, Paul Wilson, Indigo Flow, uh, Barry Little.
Um, let's see here. Patrick Saint, uh, Hashim Shabazmo, uh, uh, Gracious, uh, Gracious Greatness, uh, old clip and R2K. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah. Yeah. They're they're definitely playing games. The YouTube is definitely is definitely playing games.
They definitely playing favorites.
Um and particularly when you consider some of the stuff that they're you know they're highlighting um and just allowing you know the in promoting uh this is hey it is what it is.
We we'll keep it moving. Um all right warning some viewers may find the following video disturbing.
Viewer discretion is advised.
All right. Keep having the same same deal here. This is all right.
Okay. Let's see.
Let's see what we got >> type of sustainable life or women to, you know, create some type of wealth.
Until really wartime, women weren't allowed in the workforce. And >> there is a belief that women didn't work outside of the home in the United States until the 1940s. As you saw in that clip, a Gen Z woman is making this claim while on a dating podcast. But here's the thing. I'm approaching 50 and I thought like she did not that long ago.
It wasn't until I started researching my female ancestors that my perspective shifted. It also helped that I learned a genealological truism. Historical claims depend on time and location. The problem with bringing assumptions into genealogy is this. When we believe the big lie that women didn't work outside of the home in the United States until World War II, we may skip entire categories of genealological records because it wouldn't apply to my female ancestor. If we find a woman defying the norm, we might assume she's an exception to the norm instead of questioning if our beliefs are flawed from the start. In this video, I will show you how the big lie about women and the labor force nearly kept me from discovering an amazing story about one of my ancestors and how challenging assumptions can transform your research. Howdy everyone.
Welcome back to Family History Fanatics.
I'm Devon Noel Lee and I like to help you make meaningful connections as you climb your proverbial family tree or your bush. If you want actionable tips on how to do genealogical research and have fun along the way, be sure to subscribe and hit the bell so you don't miss a thing. As pointed out earlier, many people believe women didn't work outside the home in the United States until World War II and Rosie the River became household names. You'll find this claim in articles, books, and even political debates. And yet, some will counter the argument that women have worked outside of the home for quite a long time. But history is complicated, and we can't paint with broad strokes, or we might paint over our ancestor and their stories. If you hang around the Family History Fanatics channel long enough, you will hear Andy or I say the refrain regarding genealogy research quite often. It depends. Could your ancestor have married in a Lutheran church when they're Catholic? It depends. Was your great uncle required to share the proceeds of an estate self or his father with the children of his deceased sister? It depends. Could women inherit properties separate from their husbands? It depends. I'm scratching the surface of it depend statements and you can share your it depend statements you've encountered in the comments section so I can tap to into them in future videos. But for now know this before believing that your ancestor couldn't work outside of the home. It's worth researching the laws of your ancestors time and place. According to the World Economic Forum, 104 countries limit what jobs women can hold today.
but in a different location or a different time in history, that may or may not have been true for where your ancestor lived. So, while this video shares a US-based story, you have to understand the legal restrictions for your ancestors, wherever they are from.
Now, in the US, you will likely find legal restrictions for women and work in the same sources you found laws regarding inheritance. So, search for statutes for the state or location your ancestor live and find the years that govern the time in which they lived there. But what about cultural norms?
Cultural norms aren't always codified in law. Therefore, it can be harder to research. However, genealological records can be a goal mine if you know where to look. So, always look for your females in various records as you do search for men. You might be surprised what you find. Let's travel back to the late 1800s. While researching my multiple great aunt, Elmyra Young, I expected to find a widowed mother is scrapping by after her husband Jerome Howard died as a Civil War prisoner of war. I could have searched for Civil War pension records. But before I spent money on a great great uncle's case file, I searched my second favorite genealological collection, newspapers.
What I didn't expect was this. In the Lawrenburg Press, published on August 1st, 1878, the practice of Dr. Elmmyra Y. Howard, 459 West Street is one of the most extensive and successful in Cincinnati. Wait, what?
Bang.
1878.
A woman doctor with the most successful practice in the area in Cincinnati, Ohio.
1878.
Wait a minute. I thought women couldn't work until 1940.
Hogwash.
More revisionist history debunked.
>> Dr. Elmyra Howard. Doctor means that Elmyra had a medical career. So she >> doctor as far as I understand that requires advanced education in a university.
Oh, I thought that women couldn't acquire these degrees, particularly advanced degrees.
Debunked.
He went somewhere to obtain advanced training and that training had to have happened before 1878.
>> Training would have hap ha had to happen before 1978.
I'm sorry 1878.
>> Her practice the practice of means she owns it. her practice. She's >> uh so women could own businesses.
[laughter] [laughter and gasps] Oh.
Uhoh.
What's happening? UFO kamicazi >> business woman. And she's not a man. One of the most extensive and successful that doesn't happen overnight. So, how long has she developed the most extensive and successful practice at a time when supposedly women didn't work outside at the home or even get a medical degree? If you, like me, when considering a female doctor in the 1880s, start conjuring up the images of Dr. Quinn medicine woman in a small frontier town, think again. Cincinnati in the 1870s was booming. By the 1880s, its population was around 255,000.
Of course, I compare things to Houston because that's where I'm from. It was larger than Houston by a quite a big factor. 9,000 to 255,000 some.
>> Let's have my car do >> the math for me. It's bigger than the entire state of Colorado, Oregon, Utah.
I mean, practically in the entire West.
Now, Cincinnati wasn't some backwater town. It was the eighth largest city in the United States. And Elmyra wasn't just surviving as a widow. She had one of the city's most successful medical practice. My mind is completely blown away. If yours is too, let me know. As I consider that my great aunt not only worked outside of the home but was doing it successfully in a large town, I wondered if she was an anonym. So, how can I find out that answer? The same article that mentions her practice is part of a broader piece about women's roles. When I scroll to the top of this article that names Elmyra, I know I'm in for an easy answer to my question to understand women in history. The article title is what women are doing and what those who read the press was to say about women. And unlike a society news section where we see the comingings and goings of women, we something see something very different in this article. First, there's a Mrs. Jenny Cummings Cwley and she has been elected a member of the New York Academy of Science. Uh, wait a minute. Uh, oh.
Uh, oh.
>> A Wikipedia article about Jenny highlights the challenges she faced as a female journalist, but ignores that she was elected a member of the New York Academy of Science. [laughter] >> Revisionist history, bro.
>> Seems like that needs to be updated just a bit. Regardless, she's working outside of the home, is she not? not only as a journalist but also as a scientific professional member of a society. I'd really like to learn more about Mrs. Jenny, but for the purpose of this video, I need to move on and not go on a tangent. There is an entry where Vassor College female students sacrificed their health for fashion. But this line makes me wonder what female college students where what are they learning and where is this Vassor College? I want to know about >> college. They in college. Wait a minute.
I thought they couldn't go to college.
>> [laughter] >> about it. Cuz remember, women couldn't get educated before the 1940s. It is.
[laughter] >> Oh my goodness.
>> What people believe to this day and what I believe not that long ago, we can see the seedbed of taking your daughter to workday from an advocate over in England. Hey UK folks, we see an entry for college graduates from Swarmore College. But I again I thought women didn't get advanced degrees until the mid1 1900s. Well, what are they studying? Then I saw this. Mrs. Maxwell appointed state librarian by the governor of Iowa. She was formerly the egressing clerk of the senate and wrote a history of Gunthre County. Mrs. CA Spear was appointed the adjunct professor of physiology at the Philadelphia University of Medicine and Surgery. There's a lovely quote about her appointment from a trustee about her joining the faculty. This statement suggests that women were not only being educated but now they were becoming professors. And [laughter] >> no. Oh, this is Oh, this is you could just see the the crumbling, you know, the crumbling of this false narrative.
Okay. [laughter] The more this woman speaks, oh my goodness, what's happening forever blessed?
>> She had the title of Ms. So, was she indeed married at the time? If so, now we're hitting on married women couldn't work outside of the FOMO in the 1940s.
Do I need to continue? Now, mind you, I recognize this is an article printed in the Lawrenceburg Press about women all across the country. Can we figure out what's happening in Cincinnati? Well, we'll come back to that in a moment. I found another article that is interesting. It's from the Portsouth Times in Portsouth, Ohio. If I'm reading this correctly, this is a list of homeopathic physicians. Notice that although they're blurry, you can see some of the names are Dr. Mary Stafford, Dr. Caroline Hastings. There's a Mrs. George Newton and a Mrs. Chaw. I think that's for Charles Morse. I wish this article was more clear in the organization and the font and help you understand what I'm seeing, but I'm it looks like there's a list of female doctors here. And below that section, there's an extract from Dr. for Elmyra Howard saying that the diploma from Boston University School of Medicine offers sufficient guarantee that either she or the doctors listed above her name are equal to the task of being a physician. If you can figure this out, let me know. But the fact of the matter is there's two more names of female doctors and possibly two more females who are doctors but went by their husband's name. Not only that, I never thought Boston University was some kind of backwater school. It it sounded pretty prestigious. If I'm wrong, let me know in the comment section. But continuing the case focused on Ilmyra, there are numerous papers with advertisements of her practice when she moved into a different location in Cincinnati and then when she moved to Palmyra, Missouri. She has quite a big practice. Elmyra wasn't the only female doctor. An 1888 article from the I think you say the Pqua Daily Call lists her among other lady physicians earning impressive incomes. This article leads off with, "To go to the other extreme, the lady physicians have in certain cases earned the largest amount of money of any class of women. Dr. Elmare WH Howard is credited with a professional income of at least $7,000 a year." If the inflation calculator is to believe that's a per >> Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
gainfully employed in 1884 a doctor.
Man, that's destroying a lot of narratives.
It's destroying a lot of Oh, no.
That's That's a That's a heavy income.
225,352 and4 per year.
Wait a minute.
>> [laughter] >> purchasing power of $225,000 today.
I'm my mind is blown. There are other female doctors listed with some indication of their income. Now, if we expand our view of this clipping out to the rest of the article on the page, we can see that this section is part of an article discussing the difference between skill and earning. It estimates that over 23,000 women were earning their own living, nearly 10% of the population of Cincinnati.
[laughter] This is excellent. This video is pure gold. This is this is wonderful.
The man Oh goodness. This is such a good shout out to her. Shout out to her.
[sighs] >> Mind you, that population is made up of men, women, and children. So, what percentage of women are laboring at this time? That would require more than a cursory investigation, which I don't have time for right now, but are you beginning to see the challenge to the notion? But did women work outside of the home before World War II in Cincinnati? I think the answer is yes.
They might have. They might have been saleswmen, bookbinders, typists, domestic servants, waitresses, theater workers, school teachers, janitors.
Gosh, that sounded awful like today.
Now, this is an observation of the article, right?
>> Oh, uh-oh.
>> And it shows that a wide range of labor options that were available to women.
When I see this list of options, I see that jobs held depend on the skill of the female. That opens an entirely different topic regarding how they were able to or prevented from obtaining the skills for the higher paying job. There are more how and wise I I can't answer.
But what I can say is this. Don't fall for the big lie. We can't make sweeping claims like women didn't work outside of the home until the 1940s because it can derail your research. Such claims blind you to valuable records and lead you to write incomplete or inaccurate stories.
So what can we do? Don't assume your female ancestor didn't work. Always go and research either the legal restrictions or investigate cultural norms at the time. Don't skip records because of your preconceived notions and always let the evidence tell the story, especially when it comes to challenging modern beliefs. Now, it's your turn.
What surprising occupations have you discovered in your family tree? Drop a comment below because I'd love to hear your stories. Also, if you've had to rethink assumptions about the past while researching your family tree, let's talk about it. What other misconceptions do genealogies need to rethink before they dive into the records? It's time for another recap of viewer comments. I absolutely love hearing from you all.
>> Okay, so we're going to we're going to move to our next video here. That was an excellent video. Shout out to Family History Fanatics.
Uh I'm going ahead. I that I got to give a sub there. That was that was well worth the time. Oh my goodness, that was an excellent video.
Oh my goodness.
All right, we are continuing on our discussion from yesterday.
Um, and this is is feminism and intraexual competitive strategy. And this is an interaction between Dr. Hannah Spire and Dr. uh Danny Solicowski. Uh this is Dr. Danny on the screen right there. Um so you know two white women so you know they must be right.
[laughter] All right so let's check it out.
>> Forced to concede in order to understand how behavior works. I don't think that that necessarily sort of strips away the notion that you know there are still good people who deserve kudos and credit for being good and there are still absolutely bad people who deserve you know punishment and confinement for being bad. It's just that the reasons why they're good and bad is probably not just because they decided to. You know, the reasons are much more complicated than that. But yeah, I can't argue with the ultimately with the lack of agency because ultimately I agree with you. I think that is the implication of the theory that it actually implies a lack of agency. But that's kind of true of all evolutionary theories of behavior.
Ultimately they imply >> we will do what we need to do to to propel our own genetic lineage and our own sort of reproductive success. But how is then fe the feminist ideology different from other ideologies? Are were they also intertexual competition like Marxism or is that something else?
>> I don't think that they're something else. I think they are also similar types of it's kind of like the omnicor I was talking before how it all kinds of melds together. And I think that they are all sort of manifestations maybe not exactly the same but very similar psychological mechanisms at play.
they've just been fed a slightly different, you know, social or cultural diet. And so they've come out, you know, to champion a slightly different cause, but ultimately those causes end up sort of focusing on limiting female reproductive success. So I've got a a a data set that I'm actually analyzing and writing up right now that's demonstrating the link between pro- environmentalism and antiatal attitudes. And so even you know the the pro- environmental sort of movement if you like even that has bent around before too long to being both sort of civilizational destroying. So the the the pro >> Yeah. This is interesting. You know I've been talking about agenda 21 for a long time. Agenda 21. Uh the ideas that are codified in Agenda 21 in 1994 uh were ideas prior to that but they really got codified in that in that document. And it lays out a population control narrative. You know a you know it talks about climate change. It talks about environmentalism and you can see how it is being used as a justification for sort of anti-natalism, right? So, it's pretty uh pretty pretty interesting.
>> Environmental net zero movement is just tanking entire economies and it's being allowed to do that and it's also bending itself around now to becoming, you know, directly antiational, not just indirectly antiatal by tanking the economy, but it's now becoming directly antiatal. So the rhetoric is starting to build up about, you know, you shouldn't have children because that's creates your, you know, overall climate, your overall carbon footprint, and, you know, it's bad for the environment to have children. It would be better if if people just didn't. Um, and so you're starting to see that rhetoric start to come out, you know, online and in blogs and whatever. And so I went and measured it and yes, it's measurable and detectable and it's there. There is that relationship between pro- environmental attitudes and it is related to people's political orientation. So there is that bending of the pro- environmental movement toward antiatalism. And I think so many of these so many all of these ideologies are all bending towards that antiatalism and they're all the the left-wing ideology. So it's not a coincidence that sort of leftist progressive ideologies bend towards antiatalism and conservative ideologies bend towards pronatalism because when as societies get older they become more what we call even though again the term leftwing is a quite new term for like historically speaking it's relatively new right but you can see the the progression across societies you can see the progression of conservatism to progressivism you can see it reflected in the art and you can see it reflected in the social norms and you can you know you can see get reflected in a number of things the way we're seeing it now. And the reason for that is because as a society, you know, begins to effectively pack itself up and go home, it becomes more and more progressive. And so it's not just that you have this stable individual difference where about half the people are conservative and about half the people are progressive and they have elections each year and it kind of goes back and forth. The entire population is actually shifting towards progressivism. So the conservatives >> Yeah. Yeah.
>> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. This is definitely true. and and um we see the shifting in the political context and the uh climate and also as I've said before I mean Republicans are the you know they're they're they're covert with their feminism but they're still feminist right they're they're they're they're covert look the left is overt with its feminism right is covert but they're both feminists you know, and so, yep. So, so that is leaning progressive and um largely a lot of the squabbbling and stuff, you know, in media and and some of these, you know, talking point, you know, battles, you know, um are, you know, the all of the perspectives are so hyperbolic.
they're so po, you know, polar opposites as to be able to recruit the kind of uh votes basically to keep both parties uh sort of in in play. So, so really the value system is very very similar [laughter] >> now are not as conservative as they were 40 years ago, right? Absolutely.
progressives now of course are much more progressive and so that the very notion of political orientation is this mechanism in practice that that's just measuring the individual difference of how far along this continuum any individual person is and so that the far-left progressives are the ones that are sort of >> uh what's happening uh uh Thompson >> like at the at the front of this civilizational decline and the conservatives are the ones who are you know at the back of it and that's just that individual difference and that accounts for much of political orientation which is which one of the main reasons why I'm trying to look now at birth rate decline and and pro- environmentalism and political orientation and various other ideologies and link them all in together. So I think that is probably >> a big explanation for the you know what we call the leftright distinction between progressivism and conservatism.
>> So this isn't something that we can really deprogram. You think this is this is our hardware and then we end up with then what Ed Dutton was talking about.
We had him on here before that it's cycles and you they are have to be selected out or >> we're stuck with it. Yeah.
>> So because people are still having kids and they are religious or have other >> Yeah.
>> Yeah. Look. So so where Ed Dton and I differ is that he his theory. So this is this is uh this is interesting too because you know given our what our main event is today um you know uh on the left there that's all people that are the the folks on the left they're they're pro-natal they're pro-atalists right the the orthodoxy Roman Catholic evangelicalism they're all pro-atalist the one the the stuff on the right side of the screen here.
That's all anti- They're all anti-natalist.
They're they're largely anti-natalist, you know, uh which is which is pretty pretty interesting. Uh given some of the survey research that we that we're seeing uh looking at younger people, Gen Z, uh you ask the you know, ask the girls, you know, 80% of them don't want kids.
You ask the guys, I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
Only 50% of them want kids. You ask the guys, 80% of the guys want kids. And then you see how uh men are trending with respect to religion versus how women are, right? So, it's pretty pretty interesting. predicts that the the kind of wokeist leftist um agenda which he which he couples not in a baseless way like he's got pretty good evidence for this which he couples with sort of a basic increase in in sort of how disgenic individuals are. So the difference is that his theory predicts that you get this declining birth rate and you get this crash but the people who survive are kind of like the the good genetic stock and so away they go again until the you know the disgenics build up and then we sort of get a crash again in order to purge them. Right?
Whereas in my theory, the ones that survive the bottleneck after the crash are actually the ones that are driving the whole cycle. So actually they're the ones that are responsible for the fact that the new civilization they're founding will ultimately self-destruct and will ultimately pack itself up and go home too. So that's kind of where we differ. Yeah. Look, I really hate the question of is there anything that we can do about it because I fear that the answer is no. That's that is my concern.
So I've spent spent a long time before I was studying birth rate decline and sexual competition you know I've got a history of studying quite a few different things from an evolutionary perspective and you know one of the things that I often explain to people you know very forcefully is that you know you're not going to change the fundamental nature of being human like >> uh what's happening uh spirit of justice >> you're never going to change that. So if you've got a solution to some social problem that relies on changing the fundamental nature of being human, then forget it. It's not going to work. And that's that's just a >> we have we have done right. We used to before we had fire, we worked very differently and then we had an evolutionary adaptation.
>> I mean that to some extent I think that's true, but I think that is also not something that happened like in the space of a couple of generations if you're talking about turning around massive birth rate decline. So I mean there are examples of big changes and there might even be you know individual maybe examples of massive turnarounds from the situation we're in now. The problem the problem I think is that so on the one hand like you can't change the fundamental nature of being human.
So if what I'm saying is right and I can't guarantee you that it is. If what I'm saying is right, then from one hand, well, no, it's not going to change. Like none of the civilizations that have fallen in this way in the past, you know, well, I mean, they've they're in the past, right? So, they fell.
>> Right. Right. They were not able to to they're changed. They were not able to make an adjustment.
>> Yeah.
>> None of them survived it or they'd be here now, right? And they're not. So, we might be the first one to make it through somewhat unchanged.
It's pretty unlikely. I think that's >> Yeah. I I Yeah.
Yeah. I think it's I I think this is a this is actually a design to actually protect from uh like mass debauchery. Debauchery on a on a even on like a global scale kind of a thing, you know. So basically what you do is you allow that you allow the debauchery to a certain extent but then it starts to eat itself you know and then you have to reset you have to start over again and you start over again then you know the natural order is clearly intact and then that goes for a while but then it it it you know it ends up with the same thing again. And you know, you know, I talk about the the tendency to recreate the Tower of Babel. That's that's what humankind does. We we we when we need each other when we need when it see obvious that we need each other and when things are not as sort of developed and easygoing we'll say then our posture is different and then as it gets more you know sort of smoothed out. We start to build the tower of babel and then we build this tower of babel and then you know historically that thing has been destroyed. The flood is an example of that that wiped out a bunch of folks.
reset Tower of Babel. That's where we get all the different languages if you follow the the um the biblical narrative on that. Um and uh I don't know what that is going to be for now. I don't know what the reset would be because almost like the entire planet has been connected and rather than us actually speaking different languages or speaking the same rather speaking the same language um we we're using technology to translate in real time.
So, I I'm just I'm just saying it it's done.
[laughter] It's done.
>> Pretty unlikely. On the other hand, you know, >> I watched uh what was it? Greenland Green Greenland 2. Okay. You know, there's Greenland one and Greenland 2.
Uh I just watched Greenland 2. I finished it up last night. And that's one of these, you know, it's extinction level event.
An asteroid hits the house, hits the house, hits the hits the planet. It wipes out 75% of the population of the of the planet.
And you know, and it and when that happens, you you see a pretty clear reset, right?
And so I've been saying this I think there are two things that resolve most of the issues that we're facing at least from the temporary perspective. One of them is not a temporary one is would be permanently the temporary solution and it would it would last for a while but eventually we'd be recreate the tower babel you know and this is a metaphor by the way you know when I say recreate the tower of babel um number one would be a an extinction level event so wipe out 90% of the world's population destroy all the technology you know, you know, everything's back to 1.0, you know, version. Um, number two is the second coming of Christ, man. [laughter] That's that's it, man. Those are those are your those are your options.
>> Every civilization has technology that the ones before it didn't have. That is much more true of us than of any other civilization. So that the technology gap between us and previous civilizations that have fallen is much much bigger than whatever the technology gaps were between.
>> Yeah. And and the thing is that technology is going to be the thing that sort of prevents any sort of real reset in matter of speaking. So >> civilizations in terms of the knowledge that we can acquire, the knowledge that we can integrate um and what we might actually be able to do biologically, medically, whatever whether any of that can move the needle, I genuinely don't know. So I think behind this is a sorry this is about >> I think it makes it worse >> behavior as well. And if you look at Hungary for example, they changed the incentive structure and I don't think it's a coincidence that the feminist ideology sort of rose after the industrial industrial revolution when things changed. So why if we change the incentive structure, wouldn't we be able to change female behavior towards reproductive success?
>> The incentive structure is is one thing, but it's also about the environmental cues that trigger this kind of behavior.
So it's not just about >> Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah. But I didn't invent that that term though, extinction level event. I didn't I didn't invent that. If you watch the movie Greenland, the first Greenland, they say that in that movie, extinction level event. Now, in that case, it's a asteroid hitting the planet. I'm using the but in the same way it takes longer, but a continued decline of the birth rate. I mean, what where do you think that leads? [laughter] And if you can't if you can't get the genie back in the bottle the you know it's just going to continue you know plummeting because of all of the anti-natalism that is just in the water.
So >> the incentive structure. So yes people respond to incentives behavior responds to incentives. That's not the only thing that it responds to. And at the moment we are in a world that is absolutely saturated and we would like to think it's saturated. It may not be it may in fact get worse but we are absolutely saturated with antiatal messaging and messaging that is hostile to reproductive success and messaging that is indicative that our society is in a state of you know basically like there is no market price of of sex anymore.
The art has become sort of you know vulgar. We are in a we're almost in an anti-meritocracy. Not only are we no longer in a meritocracy, not only do we no longer even try to appoint the most qualified person or to reward competence, we're actually in an anti-meritocracy where we actually have implemented selection structures to choose people who will not be capable of doing a job properly.
>> Oh snap.
>> And so with all of these cues around us that this is the stage of society we're in, that is going to result in people all behaving in a particular way. So yes, we can change some incentives, but what we actually need to change is all of these environmental cues and that's a very very difficult thing to imagine being able to change. You know, how do you >> But the problem with the the the the strategy being because the feminist change came on so suddenly, right? If they pulled women in the 70s, they were all very conservative and that change came on so suddenly.
>> Yeah. So I I don't agree with Hannah is on on this as much. She seems to she has hope that something can change this. And I think that's part of what animates her content creation and stuff like this.
So, she's she's doing this thinking that, hey, if we can get this this information out here, more people will see this and then they'll change.
Um, I don't get the sense that them seeing this will cause them to change.
I think they just doubled down.
I mean, I think that's what what happened because you'd have to give stuff up and I don't think people are going to give anything up. That's, you know, sorry to say, but that's what it is. And so that's that I think is the source of much of her sort of push back on some of the things that Danny is saying because Danny sounds more frankly she sounds more like Black Bill like sorry bro you know um yeah >> that you know why wouldn't be able to change it back you need to incentivize women to have conservative values.
I think if if we had if there was no a priority understanding of why it changed then maybe we could say well it should be just as easy if we can sort of somehow manufacture [clears throat] the right conditions to change it back just as quickly and maybe maybe that's possible maybe there is a way to do that but certainly within the context of the theory that I'm arguing these things happen sequentially and they don't go backwards because what you have is a population that is at a certain state a certain amount of resources certain political ical state, a certain social state. And >> hey folks, YouTube's messing with the numbers. I need y'all to hit that like button. Hit the like button. Like, share, and support the show. Super chat is dry. Hit that. Hit that like button.
>> And that produces behavior in the people. That behavior then produces a different state. And that slightly different state then produces slightly different behavior, which produces a slightly different state. It can't go backwards. the behavior of the people just push the environment further in the direction that then pushes the behavior further into the direction. So in order to actually undo that complex process, it's not that it's theoretically impossible. Theoretically, we could attempt to undo each and every ceue we can identify that encourages these types of behaviors. It's just that practically and logistically that would likely be an impossible thing to accomplish. I just I'm not quite sure that it can be that it can be done. And the implications of that are quite dire because what we've got coming down the pipeline with birth rate decline is I would say much worse than what we're currently dealing with with in terms of the economic problems completely self-imposed honest by net zero and the productivity crisis that we're seeing across the world which itself is being driven by you know the the anti-mer meritocratic attitudes in most institutions and blah blah blah and you know these things are all sort of feeding into >> you know feeding into the problems but I think when the the birth rate decline really hits economically, that's going to be much worse than anything that we're currently dealing with now. So, [laughter] >> man, >> it's a really really hard and important question to know whether there is in fact anything that we can do. So, I don't want to just say no, but evolutionarily I probably think it's very unlikely.
>> Okay.
>> Oh man, she's she's getting crushed.
This was like, "Oh my goodness."
>> Yes. Okay. Wasn't the answer I was hoping for.
>> No, [laughter] it's not the I don't >> She said it wasn't the answer she was hoping for.
>> Don't want to say a hard no because I don't want people to stop trying. At the same time though, like >> at best we can slow we can slow it, but it's it's it's going down. Bro, >> I can't sort of lie and pretend that I think that this is something that we can change because I I don't think it is and I hope that I'm wrong about that. I hope that I'm wrong about a few things, but obviously if I thought there was a real chance I was wrong, I wouldn't be out here saying all of this stuff. So, you know, I I'm going to be wrong about a couple of details, but I really don't think that I'm wrong in the in the main.
So, it's a it's a you know, it's a bad thing that's coming down the pipeline, >> but you have these pockets of conservative communities where birth rates aren't down, where women choose differently.
>> That's right. And I think that they will be, you know, hopefully they will be amongst the pockets that persist. I mean, I guess, >> yeah, I mean, look, uh, at the end of the movie Greenland 2, now the the dad d Well, spoiler alert, sorry. The dad dies, but his family, you know, they they move on, but they they find this new area that looks it's like almost utopian.
What's happening, uh, D? it has been sort of unaffected by the devastation and destruction and it's a large area and so they they they see it and it's beautiful right so sure I mean you can find pockets you can find pockets but yeah but in that in that in that situation that even seemingly a large area that they can see that's beautiful It's it's like it's a speck on the earth compared to that utter destruction everywhere else.
The other sort of thing to remember is >> and and and then it's it's kind of bogus too because in what's being said it it's it's it's it's crazy because they're saying some like you know egalitarian utopian you know uh kinds of stuff. They didn't say anything about uh being resilient and strong and and like this is is the new thing, but they were talking about being compassionate and understanding and X Y and Z. This was the kinds of things that were being said at the you know at the end of the end of that movie. Um, so we still don't learn we we still don't learn what the what the what drives all of these sort sort of um trends. What what drives this stuff?
We we just ignore it. We act like it's it's not there. We we embrace the same stuff and then it ends up destroying civilization after civilization. That's just that's just what happens >> is that you know it's we talk about civilizational decline and I I don't think that's hyperbole. I think that's quite real and I think that's happening.
But civilizations don't fall the way buildings fall. They don't just come crashing down and then they're gone, right? It takes a really long time and they decline over a really long time. So it may not be possible for us at this point in time to do something that means that in 200 years when historians look back on this time they don't call it a civilizational collapse. Right? There may be nothing that we can do to stop what's eventually coming. But maybe what we can do is at least work out how best to manage it and how best to make sure that we have got some say in what comes out the other side. that might be the the sort of most optimistic thing to look forward to that yes what you know whatever we currently want to call western civilization or maybe it makes more sense to look at it on an individual country level or nation state I don't know but you know there are huge changes coming and I don't know that we're going to be able to stop those but maybe we can make sure that you know the cycle will continue and so something comes out the other side right it doesn't it doesn't end something comes out the other side and that something might be where we need to put our energy and our efforts and our focus um making sure that what comes out the other maintains at least, you know, a serious center of gravity around a lot of the the values and freedoms and principles that we all want to preserve that that are all the reason that we don't want Western civilization to decline and to disappear. So maybe that's where the efforts need to go, not on trying to turn time back or trying to stop the process, but on focus just focus on the fact that we're going to go through a bottleneck and we're going to go through a crash, but some of us will come out the other side and we can have some impact on what that looks like. I thought it would be either puritanical or a caliphate.
>> They are probably two of the leading options.
>> Yeah, >> look, that's I mean, second coming of Christ, theocracy.
Look, we we just we we just going we just going to mess it up. It doesn't matter what happens. Human beings are going to mess it up.
>> [laughter and gasps] >> Ending on a note of hope.
>> Maybe we can do better than that. Maybe we can do better than that.
>> Do better. Do better. Do better.
[laughter] Oh wow. This is so fascinating. Thank you. Thank you so much.
>> Um really really great conversation >> and we didn't get to react to what I had selected for you. Maybe another time.
And [clears throat] thank you everyone.
>> Anytime.
>> So thank you everyone for watching.
>> Excellent. Excellent uh interview. Uh we are talking about Erica Campbell right now. Let me Here we go.
What is going on? Here it is. We're talking about Erica Campbell and she said some things about female infidelity that uh folks don't like.
Let's check it out.
>> Men cheat, women get real loud. When women cheat, men get quiet. It's her mission. It's on her page. You talking about every day. She got t-shirts. It's on my brand, right?
She going to somebody house like, "Girl, >> what's up, guys? It's your girl Rivera, and I'm back again with another video."
Now, you might not recognize this woman on the screen because she's kind of a little bit incognito, but this is Erica Campbell, who is um one part of the iconic gospel duo, Mary Mary. Now, she's actually been on a press tour um basically for her new movie that she's going to be starring in. And in regards to the movie, she's been asked questions about infidelity, marriage, and all of those things. And she went on to a platform and she decided to give her opinion. and a lot of women are not rocking with what she had to say. So, I'm going to go ahead and dive into the conversation. And of course, um I'm going to press play, pause, play, and give you guys my thoughts, my feelings, and my opinion on this entire situation.
>> Men cheat, women get real out. When women cheat, men get quiet when they leave.
>> And so, you don't have the the reason ain't nobody talking about it cuz the other side is like, "All right, another Okay, >> this is very interesting, right? Because um you know, I'm assuming based off of the press that she's been doing that she is playing the act of an adulterous woman, right?" I was like, I think I'm supposed to do this a little intimidated by the kind of character cuz it's not usually what I'm known for. You know, the whole adultery thing. And so, she was bringing, you know, mention to the situation. She's like, a lot of women, >> what's happening? Uh, Mr. Mr. Bing, >> women be outside cheating, but the only reason why it is not as publicized or there's not as many conversations surround >> black men don't cheat. ing it is because when the um men are the ones who are getting cheated on, you know, they don't, you know, talk about it as much.
They're not going on to social media or their platforms and like basically, you know, being the loudest voices. Whereas when it comes to women, it seems like men are the ones who cheat more because women vocalize it more.
>> I'm going to go where a girl, she is her mission. It's on her page. You talking about every day she got t-shirts. She's on the other page. She going to somebody house like girl.
>> Now, I think she's 100% right. Okay. the women. Um, even if it, and this is crazy, but even if it's actually the woman who is the one who is doing the cheating, she will be on her Instagram or her social media creating an entirely different narrative, you know, talking about how some way somehow she is the victim, right? So, imagine if a woman is actually wronged in a relationship, she's going to like shatter from the mountain top.
>> Yeah.
>> You know, and I don't think men [clears throat] go through it that way.
They may talk about it to their circle, but they keep broadcasting. My girl cheated on me. Anybody >> pride issues though? Yep. And that's what I and that's what I said in um in the monologue. I haven't watched this yet. Is that men are don't really want people to know that they're getting cheated on. That they they don't really want to know that, you know. Um so they're going to pretty much try to keep that to themselves as much as possible. Uh hit that like button. We only got 40 likes.
We got 71 people in here, only 40 likes.
Hit that like button.
>> Absolutely. This I again I again agree with this, right? You know, men are not going to uh vocalize, you know, their grievances that they have in relationships with women. And you know, SU's opinion was that it's obviously because of a pride thing. And I think that that's absolutely a factor. pride issues though.
>> But I also think it's because men have been shown um in relationships in society that whenever they voice um any kind of discrepancies or problems that they have that people will always prove to them that they do not care.
>> Yeah. They don't care. And also it's it's you know from a from a look from from an access to to women perspective you know and this and this is it's sorry to say this um not based on what women say but based on what they do.
It's as if they'd rather you be the person cheated that cheated than the person got getting cheated on.
Cuz then they'll start thinking, "Well, what's wrong with you? Why why why would why would she cheat? Why would she cheat on you?"
You know, it's almost like that's evidence of your lack of value because the woman obviously cheated on you with someone that was a level up from you.
right? because of the monkey branching thing, you know. So there. So I think that that a lot of that has to do with the reason why men are like, "Yeah, I'm going to keep that to myself, you know, cuz cuz the last thing that a guy wants is for some woman that he he potentially would uh, you know, would deal with is for them to feel sorry for him. I don't you know I don't want a woman feeling sorry for me that that that is not that's not a good look that doesn't work out >> right like if a man complains if a man brings his grievances forth you know he is not going to get the same sense of community that a woman is right if a man comes forth other man uh other men might hear him out but as a collective on social media or whatever it's going to be a thing of kind of like man up >> I don't think men go through it that way they may talk about it to their circle but they ain't broadcasting my girl cheated on me nobody Y >> right like oh well you know pack it up if if a man expresses his grievances to a woman she's going to call him sassy like you know so men understand that they have to you know pick up whatever pieces within their own lives because uh you know outwardly they have been shown on a consistent basis that nobody is going to comfort you or nurture you in the way that society as a whole comforts and nurtures women. men don't want to have to admit that damn my woman found somebody else, right? And I'd rather just slide out of here >> quietly and just find somebody else, build another life.
>> And I think this also speaks to what I was just saying, right? Because when a if a man cheats, um if if a man is cheated on in a relationship, he goes into selfreflection. If a woman is cheated on in a relationship, more times than not, she's going to find a reason why he got a problem. He need to speak to somebody. You know, he's never satisfied. he's, you know, she's done it all, she's done everything. Like, there's always going to be that kind of imbalance of a conversation. And so, where a man might find embarrassment, a woman kind of finds um excitement in the situation because now she has a space to create camaraderie with other women on jumping on the you know, we can't stand men um and you know, we're going to bash men kind of train.
>> Yeah. And spite you for doing it.
>> Right. Right. So, the thing is um the conversations that we've been having around this movie is the silent leaks.
the silent leaks that happen in our marriages and relationships that we don't acknowledge, right?
>> I love when things like this happen and they can bring forth um you know, tools that people can actually use to navigate relationships, right? Because um I think she is right now highlighting the source of the problem. People don't um you know, I think it's a very seldom amount of people who just get up and just decide that they're going to step out in the relationship. There is always a cause for a reason, right? There's always a source of the conflict or a source of the problems or the issues.
And so she's saying that through these conversations, it's it's um you know, circulating around all of the conversations, but it's getting to that that um root cause or that root issues and causing people to reflect in their relationships of what causes the actual demise or breakdowns in relationships >> when you're offended, when you don't like something, when you want something, but you don't say something. And so it's like the love is literally seeping out like a small hole in a tire. And before you know it, your love is flat because you haven't attended to it.
>> This is such a word. This is such a word for so many different reasons. You know, you know, there's so many small things that that um you know, ruin marriages, ruin relationships, right? Or even at the very least ruin the attraction between one another, right? And a lot of people focus on the big things, right?
Like, oh, the cheating or the this. Um, again, that is a effect of something that caused it, right? But when we really narrow it down and have the real conversations, you know, it is >> Yeah. And I'm going to say part of this is hogwash.
because you're you're sort of justifying the cheating with this with this line of thought, >> you know, >> the mundane things on a daily basis >> when you're [clears throat] offended, when you don't like something, when you want something but you don't say something. And so it's like the love is literally seeping out like a small hole in a tire and before you know it, your love is flat because you haven't attended to it.
>> It is how you answer and respond um in regular conversations. It is you know how many times that you are pushing that other person away or vice versa. It is you know the way that you give them your uh you know divi undivided attention.
It's those small things on a daily basis that you know um you know create resentment create problems you know create wounds create um you know the detachment between the two. So, I love that she said this. You kept going, >> you know, so so long as you're owning your part in it, so long as you are um you know, you're the one that controls if you develop resentment or not. You're the one that controls if you know um what your actions are regardless as to what the other person is doing.
So, as long as you're owning your part in it, then I'm I'm I'm cool with acknowledging that obviously you can't have a situation where people are ignoring the basic stuff that's being said, you know. Now, if it's a bunch of like if it's a bunch of hogwash, then obviously, you know, then it's then it's kind of like you just saying anything because you don't want to have to do what it is that I'm asking you to do, you know. Um, but if it is actually legitimate stuff, you know, then it's like, okay, I I can see that.
>> And I would be all right. I He didn't mean it. She didn't mean it. and you keep going and before you know it you go I don't even like you no more.
>> Now you know she is I I think a person who is well equipped to have this conversation. She has been married for a really long time as we know you know recently she was in the in the media for advertising you know the renewal of her vows with her husband. This year I celebrate 25 years of marriage and me and my husband Warren Campbell are getting married again.
>> And not only that, you know, she also has faced infidelity within her marriage, right? And found a way to work through it and and um you know, move past it and stuff like that as well.
>> Um he told me that he had been unfaithful. We talked about it and um it got dark, of course. First, I began to think about my commitment and what I said to God and how I said for better or for worse. And I really began to think about him. I believe if anybody is wellversed to have the full totality of the conversation, I believe it would be her. But of course, because she is calling women out that's outside creeping, because she is, you know, telling the truth and holding women accountable uh to a certain extent, a lot of women in the comment section were actually not agreeing with with anything that she had to say in this interview.
As you can see here, the first comment says, "I feel that men take it the hardest. Just take a look at the past oneliving of women due to them wanting to leave. I'm an essential worker and I see a lot of DV cases due to the woman moving on. How do I know? The women tell me their life story. I think that that paints a brush that every single man that has ever been cheated on ever has always taken that route. And that's not the truth. Right? There are a lot of men who have gotten cheated on, who have been misled by women, who have been mistreated by women and have not taken that route. Okay? That has to do with self-control or, you know, whatever it is. And and some people snap. What I found what I find ironic is that I was actually watching a documentary the other day and you know a woman had gone to the police uh department to file like a restraining order against her her spouse and one of the question >> Hey folks and appreciate uh you you uh sharing the video, liking the video, supporting the show. Uh YouTube obviously is throttling my numbers as usual is blacklisting whatever that they're doing. Um and uh you know the way to break through that is I I just have to have people I just need you to like the video like support and share the video.
Um, yeah.
>> On the paper was has this man been taking care of a child for years and just found out that the child was not his.
That means that even within the court systems, they have it under their analysis that these are probable things that can cause a man to snap because of repeated actions of women. We have to, you know, a lot of women try to deflect the blame whenever people are just holding the women accountable for their own parts to play in their actions.
And then you know the other part of this comment you know even though that is her field that she works in and I'm sure she's experienced and I'm sure that she hears a lot of things but also that would be under the premise that you believe that every woman is coming there to tell you the full-fledged truth in every single situation and is not going to be victimizing herself which we know for a fact that that is not the truth because we see it on a daily basis that if a woman tells you about the end of the relationship even if there is no drama or no no harm or no problems she's going to find a way to make herself the victim. Next comment says, "This is dumb. Everyone handles it differently.
One person will fight, another not so much. People never talk genuinely about the realities, nor myriad of of responses to a lack of integrity in any relationship, let alone a romantic one."
Now, we know in these kind of conversations there's always nuance, right? Like, obviously, she's not saying that every single man handles it the same way and every single woman handles it the same way. But I think why is reality TV as large as it is? The shows of, you know, Real Housewives, Loving Hip Hop, like, you know, all of these shows. It's because >> Yeah. Uh YouTube's not recommending me.
I I can I can look in the numbers. They they share the data with me. They're not recommending my videos. It's ridiculous, man. Uh what's happening, Shadre?
>> You know, they will bring forth these kind of um situations and there's an expectancy of how women are going to react to said drama because that's the norm of what they do. So yeah, we can talk about nuance and we can talk about like you know the things that happen vice versa. But if we're being honest, what she said about how women handle it, uh, you know, major the majority of women handle it compared to how the majority of men men handle these situations, I believe she was 100% spot on.
>> I'm going to go where a girl. She is her mission. It's on her page. She talking about every day. She got t-shirts. She is my brand.
She going to somebody house like girl.
>> Next comment says, "Pride possibly, but being a male victim is actually laughed at. So who wants to be double shamed?"
So, a lot of men take the L quietly and move on. Next comment says, "Oh my gosh, not true. I've seen loud men and loud women. Women leave quiet. Men leave quiet. People be in these fake worlds."
Next comment says, "Nah, men do this.
I've heard it a lot. They go cry at their home girls house and a lot of them stick it out." And, you know, I think this is also, you know, one of those kind of like hit dogs holla situation.
Uh, no shade to anybody. And the reason why I say that is because obviously, like I said before, we know that nuance is is present and prevalent in every kind of conversation, right? Um, but in regards to this, we're talking about outward expressions. We're not talking about if he goes to his friend's house or if he goes to his home girl house or whatever he does. We're talking about the nature as a whole, um, in a societal structure, right, of how people will handle it. And we know women will openly love >> what's happening. Uh, Sean Morrisy >> love to tell people how much he cheated on her and he was a dog and he was a this and he was a that. And you know, it's it's more rare for a man to talk about not only if she cheated, but any kind of like discrepancies that he had within the relationship because as a consensus once I said again, a lot of men feel like nobody don't care anyway.
Like what is that going to change in this situation? If a woman comes forth, she is going to feel like people care because they're going to act like they do. They're going to support her like they do, you know? And even if a woman cheats on a man in a relationship, okay, and he did not cheat, they are going to find a way to still make the woman a victim. Well, he stopped loving her, well, you know, if if she had to pay the bills, well, he wasn't emotionally available. Like, they will make excuses time and time again for a woman to be the victim. So, I think she was right in this situation. I think that even more so just to that conversation, I think she just dropped a lot of gems in this interview, period. um in regards to a lot of other things that people go through in marriages and relationships.
I like to know what you guys think about this in the comment section down below.
I'd love to hear your thoughts on this entire conversation. Make sure you guys hit that subscribe button and give this video a thumbs up and I will see you guys in the next one.
All right, moving right along. We are to our main event now and we've got three videos for our main event. This is our main event, Fastest Growing Religions, Men Versus Women. Um uh you see what's on the left and on the right. But our title, feminism's effect on religion.
Feminism's effect on religion.
And uh so we're going to start with a video by uh let's see here, April Chapman.
Now, she's got some heavy bootstrap broathology in her and so I'm sure she going to say some stuff uh that that confirms that.
Um, however, she's talking about Dr. uh Kari Bryant uh women pastors and the feminist church takeover.
Get Mo, thank you for that red card.
Uh, all right. So, let's uh let's check this out and get Mo with the flow state.
>> P2 guys. Welcome back to Unshakable with April Chapman. Today we've got to tackle a topic that is controversial and will probably remain a huge controversy until Jesus returns. Today we're going to be talking about women in the pastoral position. But >> the the thing is it's funny that she says that because there's no controversy, the Orthodox church or the Catholic Church. There's no controversy.
This is only controversy in Protestantism.
And it's because it was allowed in in the first place against tradition against you know uh historical practice precedent uh historicity you know uh succession everything against everything you can think of.
They allowed it in. And it obviously was allowed in due to the the uh uh due to feminism. Due to the impact of feminism, this only became an issue after decades >> supporting you and educated Bane.
[laughter] >> Thank you very much for that.
only happened after decades of the impact of empowerment propaganda.
Okay, so let's check this out.
But specifically, I want to react to a Facebook post that I ran across. Y'all, these days, I'm so busy, I don't really even have time to to hang out and and fellowship on Facebook like I used to. However, a Facebook friend of mine uh posted this graphic of Dr. Ki Bryant weighing in on what would happen if women left the church. And so, let's take a look at this Facebook post and it's by Dr. Ki Bryant who is the wife of Jamal Bryant who pastors Steel Birth I mean I'm sorry, New Birth Missionary Baptist Church here in Atlanta. Okay, you know, look, look.
So, here we go. Slavery is a choice, right? Slavery is a choice. The documentary.
Okay. See, this is the kind of bootstrap bro pathology this this woman be on.
Just just so you just so you remember, you know what I'm talking about. All right, let's keep going.
>> And Dr. Kari Bryant goes, "If women left churches, there would literally be no church." And then someone by the name of Shannon the Scribe chimes in and says, "We lead in numbers and tithes. I know because I've worked for a church." And then the B3 kid says, "Church would be cleared out." Which is why it's laughable when men talk about a woman's place in the church. Hush. Now, this is this is this is also funny because we're really talking about black church.
You're um and andor uh other church communities that the demographics have sort of skewed in particular direction. We we know that black church is predominantly single mothers. It's is filled with single mothers. Okay. The men that are there are married men. So you've got married uh men and women and then you have single mothers and their kids. That that's basically what makes up a black church.
Okay. So this talking point right here really only addresses that because if you go to churches like again you go to the high the high church, you don't have this demographic uh you know issue. You don't have the same issue.
All right, let's keep going. before we clear it up on out of here. Now, I am assuming that this post is in response to the recent resolution that the Southern Baptist Convention has recently passed regarding women in pastoral ministry. I understand a lot of people have varying degrees and opinions on this issue. However, I'd like to take a moment to applaud the SBC for standing on the authority of scripture and upholding the biblical teaching of how the church of the Lord Jesus Christ is to function. This is not a matter >> what's happening way JW >> of men and women not being equal and men believing that they are better than women. This is not an issue of misogyny.
No one hates women. What this is is that either the church gets its mandates and its marching orders from scripture and either scripture is authoritative and we have the perpcuity of scripture meaning the teaching on this issue is clear and there's no ambiguity and that we should not be confused or or misunderstood as it relates to the church and its ecclesiastical structure. The question that we need to ask ourselves is has God spoken on this issue?
>> The new Kesha Episcopal Basist Church of Man God and single mothers rolling on the floor laughing emoji. Rolling on the floor laughing emoji.
>> Thank you very much for that. Goodness.
And here's the other thing uh that that is funny about these comments right here. You know, if women left churches, there would literally be no church. Uh so so f first of all that is it's patently false. Um it only is talking about a particular kind of community that it doesn't um which is almost wholly disconnected from uh continuity you know from uh from the early church right so so there's so so there's that issue uh the second thing is women are vacating the church.
And and this is why and you know and I I put this up here.
The fastest growing religions for women, none of them are Christianity, right?
None of them are Christianity.
So So we already know what's going We already know what's going on. Let's keep going.
>> And if so, why is it that so many people want to reimagine and reinvent and make the church what they want it to be versus saying this is the apostolic instruction that was handed down to us and we are a onetrick pony. We just >> And I'm going to tell you this. I'm going to tell you this also.
This whole the uh the Southern Baptist thing, her and her lining up with the Southern Baptist. Here's here's an issue with this. You do know that there's a lot of issues with the way that they have addressed dealt with the issue of slavery, the issue of segregation.
Um many of them still hold clearly to this idea that uh you know uh intermarriage you know inter uh you know interracial marriage you know they They say that it there's, you know, that it's wrong. It's it's uh it's, you know, it's wrong for whatever whatever reason. So, you you do understand that there's going to be a lot of issues, other issues. you're lining up with them on this point, but there's a bunch of other stuff that that's going to be packaged with that you as a black person should be at least looking at this with a side eye. But of course, she's not going to do that because of her bootstrap broathology.
And you can see promoted at the bottom of the screen there, Slavery is a choice, the documentary.
[laughter] Goodness. So, let's keep going.
>> Rinse and repeat what thus sayeth the Lord. So the first thing I want to engage with is the assertion that if women left churches there would literally be no church. I mean this is a false assertion because it assume >> and uh also her using uh one trick pony.
You should understand that one trick pony is a pjorative.
Okay. This is a pjorative. One trick pony. a person, business, or thing that has only one skill, talent, or area of expertise. It is generally used as a mild insult to describe someone or something that lacks versatility, depth, or the ability to handle a variety of situations.
One trick pony is a porative. She used one trick pony to describe a church that says, "Hey, we're just going to follow the Bible. We're just going to Hey, it says, you know, it says this is what it's supposed to be. That's what we're going to do.
>> It's safe to say that the average black American has only witnessed a religion masquerading as Christianity. Person shrugging emoji.
>> Yep. Thank you very much for that. Let's keep going.
>> That the church exists because or based off of the demographic that makes up the church. Now, I would argue that the apostate church, the visible black church as we know it, um the apostate division of what we see in the church universal, yes, that church, oh yeah, it would cease to exist. But sweetheart, >> and of course, I would define these differently when you talk about apostate, when you talk about heresy, I would define uh what's this what's this woman's name again? April, whatever her name is, that she'd be part of that. [laughter] But that's all right. Let's keep going.
>> Arts. I think you you think more highly of yourself than you ought if your argument is >> at Dr. Thunder. If I'm not mistaken, aren't the Southern Baptists the ones that subscribe to Calvinism or reformed theology?
>> Uh, thank you very much for that. Um, is safe to say that the average black Okay. and and thank you for that. Um what is it? Um there's a lot of Protestantism that centers around Calvinism and it's what so one thing that's interesting is a lot of this sort of American work ethic um actually is a sort of outgrowth of Cal Calvin Calvinism. You could actually you could actually in some respects trace prosperity gospel back to Calvinism.
Um and uh so it's it's an uh it's an interesting sort of question that you're as asking there. I mean we could get we could get off in the weeds. I don't want to derail our conversation >> is >> that the church of the Lord Jesus Christ which has sustained itself through the annals of time and all through antiquity through Roman persecution during the dark ages during the Protestant Reformation during the the transatlantic slave trade like either God is preserving his church or he is not.
>> Yeah. Yeah. But I I would argue that the the reformation that's not a good of course you're Protestant so you have to say that. But [clears throat] there there's some problems with what you're saying. But let's keep going.
>> Either Jesus is the the the the the foundation of the church. Jesus is the chief cornerstone and he's the head of the church or he is not. Because to say that the church would cease to exist if women left means that we are the ones holding it together. When last time I checked, Jesus, we are the bride of Christ, the church, and he is the bridegroom. He is the head of the church, and he's promised to preserve his church. And so, I believe what we are confusing here is that her church >> Yeah. But who? Okay. So, what what is his church though? So, you you got there's a lot of issues, but let's keep going.
>> Church, right? the church that her and Jamal pastor, which we would categorize as an illegitimate church. Yes, I agree.
So, here here here's the issue the the issue that I have with certain Protestants being very aggressive about calling other Protestant churches illegitimate and stuff like this. What grounds are you doing that on? and how is it that those same grounds can't be used against you?
So, that's that's why I would I would be easy on that. Um, of course, Jamal and and Kari Bryant, there's a there's a lot of issues there. But anyhow, >> that's what we're talking about. Let's define our terms here. If we're talking about churches like Stillbirth, churches like the Dream Center, churches like Greater Travelers Rest here in Atlanta, all of these churches that are absolutely man- centered, heretical, and structured based off of the vision and and and the the the celebrity appeal of the pastors who lead them, then yes, you are right. Those churches would cease to exist if women left those churches because that is all that is inside of those churches. those those churches do not you're not going to go there and hear faithful go >> and I'm just going to tell you you're you're using the term heretical but you don't think that that term can be weaponized against your particular brand of Christianity >> centered Bible preaching and so therefore those churches are not full of the Lord's sheep they're full of goats they are filled with people who go there because they want their ears is tickled and they don't want to be held accountable. They don't want to hear the gospel according to Jesus that talks about sin and repentance and sanctification and and holiness and and and and biblical families, biblical womanhood, biblical manhood. Those things are not taught in those churches.
So therefore, those churches are full of women. There there is a a heavy estrogen bent to the churches that she is talking about. And it has a very feminine attractional model. They talk about your season, your harvest, your favor, your breakthrough, your increase. They always talking about birthing something and giving birth and pushing the baby out.
And women love all of that emotionally charged, biblically anemic, heretical preaching because we are emotional and we are not we're often times led by our feelings and and masculine men, men who are filled with the spirit.
>> Now the now she's saying some stuff.
She's she the I I'm I'm criti critiquing some of the logic that she's using to assault certain folks again that could be used against her. But she's also highlighting she's she's also highlighting you know without being particularly direct this she's also highlighting this right what it is that men seem to be centering around versus what it seems like women are centering around and what has caused that of course which is feminism. So, let's keep going.
>> Of God and who are sheep that belong to Christ, they are not going to pack out a church like that. Liberal men, progressive men, effeminite men, yes, you'll find them in churches like Stillbirth. But a gospel- centered Bible preaching church with a man at the helm leading and preaching under the authority and and and and the biblical intent um as scripture describes. Yeah.
>> Okay. Authority. Where does that authority come from?
Okay. So, so this this is going to be you're you're going to you're going to run into some problems using certain kinds of terms. But let's keep going.
>> She's right. Those churches would cease to exist if the women left. That's why they center everything around the woman.
And I agree with the next commenter. We lead in numbers and tithes. I know because I've worked for a church. He is right. Women are the giving centers.
These pulpit pimps know that you have to keep these women emotionally manipulated. You got to keep them busy.
>> Again, it depends on what church you're talking about because that wouldn't be the case at a uh at a high church in in the high church.
But yes, it is the case in a low church.
That 100%.
>> The moment their husbands at home say, "Hey, hey, hey, you've been at that church an awful lot, but you're neglecting your first and primary ministry, which is your home." That's going to create friction in the house.
And so therefore, they >> hit the like button. We got 73 people but only 53 likes. Please hit that like button.
>> Can't have churches that are full of godly couples where the woman is submitted to her husband like the church is submitted to the Lord Jesus. Like you you you see that parallel? Yeah. They don't have churches that are full of families. They have churches that are full of single women, lots of baby mamas, and affeminite and gay men. Yeah.
those >> she's she's kind of she's sort of right but she's also exaggerating certain aspects.
Um but let's keep going.
>> But in terms of who is giving and who is more faithful in attendance, Shannon the scribe is right. Women lead. They will give their last. They will spend their rent money and give it to the church neglecting their own home because they are believing the messages that come from these pullpits which is if you give God is going to bless you. Whereas men who are more logical are listening to this the pull pit pimpery and they like yeah I smell a hustle. Why would you encourage me to give my last and to give my tithes on a credit card and pay interest? Like that doesn't make any sense pastor. And so because you can't pull the wool over these masculine men's eyes, your churches are full of women.
And if the women left, there would be no church.
>> Before the American Revolution, our founding fathers considered themselves slaves of the empire.
>> And then Thomas Jefferson, >> here you go. Here's here's some of this bootstrap bro pathology, right? That I was talking about. Okay, we'll we'll see the extent of it.
>> John Lock, he said that our freedom was not given us by the king. It was an unalable right given us by God. It is irrevocable, non-transferable and unself.
Founders understood that and this is why at the end of the declaration of independence they put we pledge our lives, our fortunes and our sacred honor. They said they would die before they be slaves. I won't just die before I be slave. I'll kill before I be one.
So all y'all out there say you have no choice. But the father showed you Patrick Henry that said give me liberty or give me death. And on that fateful night when George Washington had to cross the Delaware River and the ice and the snow or the American Revolution will be lost. They said, "General, what are the passwords?"
He said, "Dictory or death. Either we're successful tonight or we all die."
That's the idea of a free man. And I am a free man.
So all you out there that believe that someone has given you your freedom, you're admitting that you're a slave.
[music] If you come try to take my freedom away, God has given me the right to defend myself. And I got two things that'll get you off of me. That is Jesus and my 38 slave of choice.
>> [laughter] >> Notice he only quoted he only quoted dominant society. Now he didn't quote no brothers.
[laughter] Now mind you we're using church in a broad sense. We're not talking about a church as the Bible defines it. We're talking about an organization, a a a social club, a group of gathered individuals who are gathering together uh with regular attendance and they show their support with their money and their time and other resources. And they're calling that a church, but it's not a church in the biblical sense. And then the next comment, church would be cleaned out, which is why it's laughable when men talk about a woman's place in the church. Well, actually, dear one, it's it's not laughable when men talk about a woman's place in the church.
It's actually biblical when men just simply open up the pages of scripture and read from read to you from the book of Titus in the book of Timothy, from the pastoral epistles that give you the instructions as to how the church is to be ordered. When the apostle Paul is writing to Titus and he says this is why I left you in cree so that you may put what remained into order and appoint elders in every town as I directed you.
And then he goes on to say okay here is the job description for the man who desires the office of pastor, bishop, elder, overseer. And then he lays it out. And so unfortunately, this is the false teaching and the false doctrine that comes from this progressive Christianity because they believe that this is this is men pumping on their chest saying, "Hey, hey, we're supposed to be the ones leading in the church when they don't realize that these men now, some of them um you know, I'm not I'm not arguing that there's not a misogynistic bent in some of these churches. There are extremes on both sides. But in the grand scheme of things, I believe that the church of the Lord Jesus in terms of its ecclesiastical structure, it is to be led by men, meaning men are responsible for the preaching and teaching the pastoral.
>> Now, what would you consider misogyny?
That that's that's interesting. She said that >> office is barred to men only. Women are barred entry. There are plenty of things you can do, but the scriptures through the inspiration of the Apostle Paul does not waver on this. And we're not cherrypicking the scriptures. In fact, we can cross reference it. And then even the Apostle Paul shuts down the argument. The Apostle Paul is like, "Listen, the reason why the church of the Lord Jesus is to be structured this way is because we're going to take it back to creation where God created Adam first and then Eve." And so I realize that this type of teaching isn't popular, but just because it's not popular doesn't mean that it's wrong.
>> We need 45 likes, folks. Hit that like button. If you're checking the show out, if you're watching, please hit that like button. Likes are free. Like, share, support.
>> I understand that most churches today are heretical and are apostate and they're not structured as the Bible describes. And so when I read from 1 Timothy 3 where it says, "This saying is trustworthy. If anyone aspires to the office of overseer, he desires a noble task. Therefore, an overseer must be above reproach. Now, if we were going to include women in that description, fine, for the sake of the argument, we can do that. But I can argue that her husband and all of her husband's friends and so many of the pullpit pimps that are popular today, they are not qualified based off of that first qualification.
It says they must be above reproach.
Most of these pastors are mired in scandal and financial impropriy. They got baby mamas scattered all over the country. They're sexually perverse. They advocate things that the Lord hates. And they have horrible reputations, not just in the church, but outside with the unbelieving world, too. So, by biblical definition, this is deeper than yes, women cannot hold the office of pastor uh bishop elder, but these men are disqualified, too. The ones she's talking about, the one she wrote with.
But then it says he must be the husband of one wife. Soberminded, self-controlled, respectable, hospitable, able to teach, not a drunkard, not violent, but gentle, not quarrelome, not a lover of money.
Okay. He must manage his own household.
Well, >> flag on the plate.
>> Can you sit your husband down? Like, I mean, the the the issue here is that these people don't believe the Bible.
They don't believe that the Bible is inherent, inspired, infallible, and profitable for anything as it pertains to how they're supposed to live their lives and order their churches. These people do what they want to do. So, this is why they can mock and scorn the SBC when Dr. Al Motor is like, "Look, all right, we we've been around this Mberry Bush with these women in pastoral ministry for a long time, and now we got to take a stand because we have seen what feminism has done to the culture, and it has already infected the church.
And if we don't get a hold of the church and get these women up out these pull pits, okay, our denomination is going to be apostate just like the Episcopalians and just like the the United Methodists and just like so many of >> So she just actually said something that is actually not in keeping with the early church when she's talking about inherency.
Um so biblical inherency uh so let's let's talk about this. So the Eastern Orthodox Church teaches that the Holy Bible is completely infallible, true and without error regarding faith, doctrine, and salvation. But it does not view the text through the lens of modern western biblical inherency.
The Orthodox Church does not require its members to defend every minor historical, geographical, or scientific detail as a literal word for word dictation from God.
So again, with the lack of continuity, but let's keep going.
>> The other of the prot mainstream Protestant denominations, we're going to be apostate, too.
And so I I'm assuming that's where this this argumentation is coming from. You know, I'm going to do a separate video on the resolution that the SBC passed and all of the conservative feminism that has infiltrated itself into the Southern Baptist Convention. But I'm not even done.
>> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So you've got the again you've got the covert and the overt right feminism, right?
>> Talking about the qualifications of the overseer, right? He must manage his own household well with all dignity, keeping his children submissive. For if anyone does not know how to manage his own household, how how will he care for the house for God's church? I'm sorry. He must not be a recent convert or he may be puffed up with conceit and fall into condemnation of the devil. Moreover, he must be well thought of by who?
outsiders so that he may not fall into disgrace into a snare of the devil. Now, there are a whole now to this point in uh this whole passage that she's reading. Um, one one point to make here, uh, when you look at the way that the high church and particularly the orthodox church addresses who is allowed to be a priest, a a deacon, a priest or a bishop.
Um, so if you are if you're a so the Orthodox Church allows for married and celibate versions of all three of those things.
The way that it works is if you were ordained as a single man, then if you get married, you are no longer ordained.
And the reason for that is the drastic change that a that a bo a bogus spouse can create.
So everything could have been fine and then you bring this bogus spouse in here with baby's kids and now you're all in disarray.
She's really running the show and it's all dysfunctional and everything. And of course that's going to impact everything else that you do.
If you are married and then get ordained, then of course, great. But they're only going to ordain you if they can detect that there's a healthy environment at home because they don't want that to bleed into your your uh the way that you are operating at the church.
Also they don't want scandal.
They they want to prevent scandal as much as possible.
Uh let's look at something else. So you uh a prevalence of uh you know Minister Mace and you know Pastor Hammer and and everything else. That stuff would never happen in the Orthodox church because of this. If you have a bad reputation, you're notorious as a sinner. You can't, you know, you can't be some, you know, bogus, you know, have some bogus persona, some bogus presence on social media and then also get ordained because they would see that that would bring a negative light onto the church and make it hard for people that are trying to find the church to see through your BS.
See, so there's a lot of that stuff. So some of the stuff that she's saying I I I you know, that whole passage I think is is is fine.
I just don't think it relates to some of the stuff she's saying.
What's happening to Tri? Uh but and she's also totally right about this idea of there being covert feminism within uh some of these evangelical and supposedly, you know, right-wing sort of church communities.
>> Lot of masculine pronouns in this text of scripture. And for whatever reason, women will read First Timothy and read all of those verses and and get to chapter 3 and just all of a sudden they they can't see nothing. They they they like Ray Charles and and Stevie Wonder.
Let's go back to chapter two that talks about let a woman learn quietly with all submissiveness. I do not permit a woman to teach or to exercise authority over a man. How are you the pastor or a bishop or an elder in a church as a female without exercising authority over a man when you are preaching from the pullpit ex cathedral? It is an authoritative role. You are supposed to be speaking author.
>> Uh no that okay. So well she just said something that is does it's not appropriate.
Uh, okay. So, Excathedra, this is this is very, this is highly problematic what she just said. Excathedra is a Latin phrase that translates literally to from the chair.
It refers to a definitive infallible statement made by the pope on matters of faith or morals. In a broader sense, the phrase is used to describe any authoritative pronouncement made by a leader or expert uh from the position of power.
So, um, generally I suppose the phrase can be used, but this actually is a term specifically to be used only addressing something uttered by the pope on matters of faith or morals.
And this is something that's only happened what, three or four times or something like that in the history of the Catholic Church. Uh, let's see here.
Okay, here we go.
Twice. [laughter] Twice in modern history.
[laughter] Exca Cathedral twice in modern history.
Right. [laughter] What's happening? Magnificent Adrian >> authoritatively on behalf of God. You are violating scripture if you as a woman place yourself in this authority.
Because here here's the rub. As a woman, you cannot admonish a man to be the head of his home when you're in the pull pit and you won't even sit down and let a a a a man be the head of the Lord's church as the biblical as the Bible directs us to do. How are you going to tell a woman to submit to her husband and you won't even submit to to if we're the bride of Christ and we can't even get you to obey scripture and get out the pullpit and learn in in all submissiveness, but instead you want to be in charge. You got the Lord and rule over somebody because you believe, well, the Lord called me, so therefore, how is it that the Lord the Lord that is speaking to you openly violates his written word?
How do you square that round peg into that square hole?
When you ask these women, why is it that this this desire that you have?
>> Well, the thing is it's not just the written word that this is at odds with.
It's uh it's at odds with history.
I mean, show show me uh you know, women bishops and and priests in the first 1500 years of Christianity.
So, prior to the Protest Protestant Reformation, show it to me.
does not exist.
You have some deacons. You have some deaconesses um which was not a which was not a frequent practice but was was a practice at times but you have no priests or bishops the first 1500 years of Christianity.
So that that would be something I would cite.
But that's also problematic to site for a number of other things that she's saying >> is in direct opposition to to what is written. How do you deal with the conflict in the pronouns in the very next chapter? And what do you do with this verse outside of saying, "Well, that applied then." So was Jesus the head of the church then? Is Jesus not the head of the church now? So when did the authoritar when did the model of authority change? what point in history did it change where this >> feminism that's what that that's when it changed [laughter] >> applied to I don't know the church of Corinth or the church of Ephesus when did that change that's my argument it says rather she's not supposed to exercise authority over man but rather she is to remain quiet for Adam was formed first then Eve and Adam was not deceived but the woman was deceived and became a transgressor Yet she will be saved through childbearing if they continue in faith and love and holiness with self-control.
This whole pastoral epistle is giving the church at large their marching orders and their directives for how they're supposed to be and the role they're supposed to play.
Treat it like it's a football team. You got a quarterback, you got tight ends, you got running backs, fullbacks, linebackers. Everybody got a role to play. Why is it that the women want to be the quarterback?
They are not content fulfilling their God-given roles, which is teaching the younger women, if you're an older woman, how to love your husbands and how to train and love your children.
You view that role and it is such a very important role because we can see because we've neglected that role is why the culture is the way it is. We're too busy trying to be the boss chick inside of the church of the Lord Jesus. And now the whole culture has gone gone to hell in a hand basket. The gospel is not being preached or proclaimed because it ain't being it's not being preached and proclaimed in our homes. And then by the time it gets to the church, it's perverted because the order of the church is perverted. So I understand the contention and why so many women are upset, but they're rebellious. They're rebellious and they're unbiblical. And these are not godly women who are constantly pushing up against this. They are trying to double down in their rebellion because just like Eve, they want to do what they want to do. And they will hearken to the voice of a serpent as opposed to the voice of God which said, "Do not eat.
Out of all the trees in the garden, this one is off limits. Out of all of the things you could be doing in the church of Jesus Christ, why is this the one thing that you demand and will fight tooth and nail even to your own destruction? You just got to do it. It's >> okay. So, that's where we're going to leave this one. Um, I'm kind of getting tired of the same thing sort of being said over and over. Um, but let's let's head on to our next video. Um, and this one is we're we're in our main event.
Uh, let's see here. This is the the secondary video and we'll get to the prime video after this one. Um, why does feminism still exist? Why does feminism still exist?
Do you think men are important?
>> Like for what? [laughter] >> A woman?
>> Yes.
>> Power.
>> Power.
>> Woman is power.
>> Can I be a woman or is it more complex?
>> I mean, if you go through the steps, of course you can.
>> Okay.
>> Women is everyone.
>> What do you think of Bonnie Blue sleeping with 157 men?
>> It's your body, your choice, right? This is the world we now live in. This is the end result of feminism. You are the perfect end result of feminism.
>> I take such good care of myself. Truly, the only thing I'm missing in my life is someone to enjoy it with. And I'm so sick of waiting. Like, when is it going to be my turn? What more do I have to do to fix myself before I'm just allowed to be happy? Like, is that the message that this beautiful life I've built for myself, like, it's just supposed to be me in it alone? Why does feminism still exist? This is a genuine question. What rights do men have that women do not have? Because if we look at the initial founding document of the women's rights movement in the US and what they were fighting for and what they wanted, essentially all of those rights or sentiments have been achieved. In fact, in many cases, women are actually doing a lot better than men these days. For example, back then, in 1948, women fought for the right to vote today. And since the 1980s, women consistently turn out to vote more than men. Back then, women fought for equal access to education. Today, women outnumber men in university enrollment and graduation.
Back then, women fought for entry into male-dominated high status professions.
And today, women outnumber men in graduate degrees, including medical school and law school. Back then, women fought for equal rights in divorce.
Today, women initiate approximately 70% of all divorces and typically receive primary custody of children along with substantial marital assets. Back then, women fought for the right to work, to be promoted, and to receive fair compensation. Today, many companies pri >> uh what's happened in Atlanta player one? Yep.
>> Prioritize women through higher pay offers, preferential hiring, and promotion practices to close perceived gender pay gaps. Furthermore, HR departments increasingly favor female candidates while DEI policies actively work against men in hiring and advancements. So in many cases, not only have we achieved equality, but I would argue now women are actually doing a lot better than men. So the question is, now that we've achieved these initial women's rights goals and not only achieved them, but far surpass them, what is feminism fighting for today? And my second question, which arguably is the most important question, is feminism having a positive impact on women today?
That's what I want to talk about in this video. So let's get into it. Number one, what is feminism fighting for today? I'm not a feminist if it isn't obvious. So I actually had to do a little research to learn about the various feminist organizations. One of the largest ones is Feminist Majority Foundation. When we look at their mission and principles page on their website, they list a whole bunch of points. The top one being equality for all genders. I thought this was supposed to be about women. Further down, they mention supporting equal rights for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, interex, queer, and gender non-conforming people. Then supporting immigrant and refugee rights, some of which will be women, so okay. But then they talk about climate change, preserving the environment, securing clean air and water, eliminating smog, hazardous waste, and chemical and nuclear weaponry. Now they've completely lost me. How is this uniquely a woman's problem? Do women need cleaner air than men? Are we trying to eliminate nuclear weaponry so men don't nuke us out of existence? I mean, what are we talking about here? Then we talk about inclusive spaces for people with disabilities, free public college, and gerrymandering.
I mean, obviously, we forgot about animal rights. Seriously, this makes zero sense. When you cry wolf about all these issues, most of which cause very little hardship to most women, the issues that do matter and do affect the vast majority of women, go unheard.
That's the real tragedy of our current feminist movement. complain about everything, become a nuisance to everyone, and thus get zero accomplish because everyone is ignoring you. So, the goalposts need to keep moving. It's no longer just about women's rights, but LGBTQ, the environment, immigrants, weaponry, etc., etc. However, this dynamic is not unique to feminism. It applies to virtually every activist movement and large nonprofit. Perpetual growth demands perpetual problems.
Without new crisises to solve, the funding dries up, influence shrinks, and the entire apparatus loses its reason to exist. As a result, they are compelled to keep discovering or inventing new grievances to justify their never- ending growth. I would argue most feminist groups these days are not really about women anymore. They've moved the goalpost so far beyond women's rights that I think it's actually backfiring on women and causing more problems, hardships, and injustices to women. Which leads me to my second question. Is feminism having a positive impact on women today? Let's look at a few examples which I think really demonstrates where the feminist movement has gone too far and is actually hurting women. Number one, feminists supporting trans athletes in women's sports. Few issues expose modern feminist contradictions more clearly than its enthusiastic support for biological males competing in women's sports. For over a century, women fought to compete in all sports at the Olympic Games. This was only achieved in 2012, and only 8 years later, the first trans athlete competed as a woman in the Olympics.
Many of the same feminists who fought for women's rights to fair and inclusive participation at the Olympics are now ruling out the red carpet for men. This requires impressive mental gymnastics rooted in the belief that womanhood is not a biological reality but simply a subjective feeling. Number two, the independent woman. One of the greatest lies of modern feminism is the belief that women can and should do it all completely on their own. Not only do they not need men, they will actually be more successful, empowered, and fulfilled without them. After all, men supposedly hold women back. This narrative is largely pedled by unhappy, lonely, and miserable feminist voices.
And misery, as always, loves company. In reality, men and women are designed to compliment one another. When both bring the respective strengths and value to a relationship, they create something greater than either could achieve alone.
Yet, when feminist ideology devalues men while placing women on a pedestal of moral and social superiority, it produces a generation of entitled, spoiled women who behave with little fear of shame or consequence. After all, the girl power chorus stands ready to praise and defend them no matter how reckless or unreasonable their actions become. By devaluing men and promoting female entitlement, modern feminism has pushed many men away from pursuing long-term relationships with women.
>> I better pay attention to me tonight.
I'm so [ __ ] sick of this [ __ ] Oh my god.
>> Touch a boob, buy a drink. I mean, it's like very [ __ ] simple.
>> Most men have very little desire to commit to someone who brings masculine energy, openly disrespects them, or presents a significant risk or financial ruin in the event of divorce. Meanwhile, women in their prime fertile years have been told they deserve the best, lean them to compete for the top tier men.
Many expect premium treatment, free dinners, shopping sprees, vacations with little or no reciprocity. And when a better option appears, they monkey branch without hesitation. And then when the relationship eventually fails, they often generalize their resentment towards that one man onto all men. This dynamic leaves many high-quality men on the sidelines, decent, stable, and willing partners who are overlooked or dismissed. By their mid-30s, large numbers of these same women find themselves single, childless, and desperate to find a husband, only to discover that the high-v value men they once rejected are no longer interested and instead pursuing younger women. And thus, the pool of available partners has dramatically shrunk. Little did they realize that the independent woman sometimes means independent forever.
This leads me to the third negative I want to discuss, which is the idea of success as a woman. Modern feminism promotes a shallow definition of success for women. Designer clothes, luxury cars, impressive job titles, essentially the material girl boss [ __ ] Women have simply traded being the property of a man for being the property of a corporation, disposable, replaceable, and valued only for output. And we call this progress. It's like women have been hypnotized to chase paychecks, to buy more clothes and status symbols, trapped in an endless consumer cycle. Because women are so susceptible to comparison and wanting to be perceived as successful in the eyes of those around us that we chase meaningless pursuits and dead ends that offer very little value. Furthermore, our education system continuously pushes women further up the education ladder while accumulating more debt without ever a second to consider other options. And then because they've accumulated so much debt, working is the only option. And thus >> here, let's look at that stat again right here.
Women carry more federal student loan debt, 63.59% of the student loan debt.
>> Other options and then because they've accumulated so much debt, working is the only option. And thus, the career woman is now the de facto option. As a result, the things that actually do matter, a loving relationship, children, a strong family bond, community, purpose, and helping others are no longer seen as meaningful accomplishments. What we're left with are increasing numbers of bitter, unfulfilled middle-aged career women who are miserable in the workplace and quick to blame men for their emptiness. Some are so deeply indoctrinated they wouldn't even recognize success if it hit them in the face. This brings me to number four, the reality check. Many young women act like the good times will last forever when they're highly valued in the sexual marketplace, enjoy abundant career options, and carry very few responsibilities. But inevitably, these good times don't last forever. And for some women, it hits hard. They develop a deep dissatisfaction with work and life, sometimes culminating in divorce. If anti-depressant use, >> what's happening? Igbo >> is any measure of happiness. Roughly one in five women aed 40 to 59 are in some form of anti-depressant. And this figure doesn't even account for the millions more self-medicating with alcohol or other substances. Can we really call this a win for feminism? How did liberation produce so much unhappiness, stress, and regret? God forbid they become single mothers and now have to do everything on their own. Yet, feminists seem to champion single mothers, calling them heroes because they're doing it all apparently better without a man. But unfortunately, the data tells a very different story. Children raised in father's homes suffer the highest rates of poverty, behavioral disorders, school dropout, teen pregnancy, criminality, and poor self-esteem. Worse still, many progressive single mothers treat their children as ideological props, pushing their radical feminists and gender beliefs onto them in a pattern disturbingly reminiscent of Munchousen syndrome by proxy. Lastly, number five, the destruction of men. If the original mission of the women's rights movement was for women, >> Munchhousands, uh, let's see here.
Yeah. So just to I like to define terms that often are just assumed that everyone knows what this means but let's uh let's define it. Munchhounds syndrome by proxy is a mental health con condition in severe form of child or elder abuse. A caregiver, typically a mother, fakes, exaggerates, or actively induces medical symptoms in someone under their care in order to gain attention, sympathy, or recognition for themselves.
>> Men to be treated as equals to men under the law and in social structures undefined by law, then that mission has been accomplished in most western countries. What remains is an ideology that requires perpetual male villain to justify its existence. When the stated goal becomes tearing down men rather than building up women, it stops being feminism and becomes a form of sex-based antagonism that ultimately leaves women with fewer good men, fewer stable families, and a culture that tells them to suppress their feminine instincts.
That outcome is not empowering. It's self-sabotaging. Modern feminism has essentially redefined equality as outcome parody and labeled every remaining sex difference or male behavior as systemic patriarchy. By framing every male achievement or preference as oppression, the ideology erodess mutual respect and cooperation.
This isn't progress. It's goalpost moving that requires men to be perpetually cast as the enemy.
Meanwhile, endless victim narratives discourage personal agency and resilience, qualities that actually improve women's life outcomes. The result is higher reported anxiety, anti-depressant use, and later life regret among women who are told traditional past were oppressive rather than valid choices. All right, let's talk about the conclusion. Women love chasing fantasies and viewing life through rosecolored glasses. But it's not reality. And it's only made worse by social media, news media, and feminists promoting useless women as role models to envy because they have so much money, fame, and beauty when it's all just meaningless and fake. The success of these women is not based on happiness or the happiness of their family, the qualities and capabilities of their children, their moral values, their contributions to their community, or how they've improved the lives of those around them. Instead, we champion their cosmetic procedures, their new ass or tits, admire their designer clothes, luxury cars, and gated mansions, and support their new business ventures, creating more useless [ __ ] All for what? Our entertainment? Our sense of belonging? Our self-confidence? These celebrities that feminist champion are some of the most unhappy, miserable, and alone people. They are so out of touch with reality, they can't comprehend the negative impact they're having on millions of young girls. But honestly, I don't think they care at all. As long as they're getting paid, that's all that matters. Before we end, I think we need to ask, are there any positives of feminism today? Earlier in the video, >> now this is probably where what's happening. Jamar Roland, I I this is where um she herself has been somewhat propagandized.
And again, feminism is like the water that we're swimming in kind of a thing.
And so sometimes it makes it difficult to see certain things. Our first video today we uh we dispelled some more revisionist history. She is going to suggest certain things that actually we have already debunked um as uh positive outcomes of feminism.
Okay. Um so let's check it out. I said I wasn't a feminist, but I think we need to give credit where credit is due.
Women should be forced to stay with their abusive husbands. Men, >> now I now this idea of a woman being forced to stay with their abusive husband.
Now, look, it's it look, you you may not have been able to get a divorce.
And if you're in a situation where you have no resources and don't have a uh a an extended family, your your your family that you could vacate the premises and and live, you know, live back with your parents or whatever or with a sibling or something like that.
Okay. So, I I'm not going to suggest that there were no issues in the past with the legal structures. I'm not going to suggest that.
But I think that there's a lot of overstating. Let's put it that way.
>> Men and women should be equally valued by society. Men and women should have.
>> Now, I don't think that the women's movement caused women to be equally valued by society. I think women already were equally valued, but just valued for different things.
Okay. I think that we always had respect and and admiration for for women, particularly mothers.
Um, so yeah, >> have equal rights. Men and women should be treated equally in the eyes of the law and in the courts. And I have >> Okay. Now, have we actually reached that? because a woman does the same crime and she does uh only about 60% of the same time as a man would be sentenced for.
So, I'm not sure that there's there's equality there. Also, women don't have to uh to sign up for uh for the draft.
Okay. So, those are some examples of things. Um, yeah, >> attribute many of these things to the women's rights movement. But at the same time, I can understand why there's so much push back against feminism today.
Because, as I've said, I don't think modern feminism really cares about women, but rather a whole rainbow of issues, including the destruction of men, the patriarchy, and masculinity.
There are definitely a few things modern feminism should be fighting for.
Feminists will pander all day to trans athletes in women's sports, but they won't take a second to consider the thousands of girls globally forced into child marriage. The women who are brutally beaten, if not worse, for showing their face out in public, the practice of female genital mutilation in Africa, Asia, and the Middle East, the sex trafficking of millions of women and young girls, and the girls who have been denied access to education beyond primary school in certain countries.
Where are the white progressive women fighting for these women? I guess it doesn't give them any social credit points, so they don't care. Most >> That's a good point. She makes a good point there.
>> Modern feminism is a joke. They say they care about women, but in reality, they care more about themselves and what will make them look the best in their delusional hive mind group. Trust me, there will be a reckoning and it won't be pretty. Anyways, that's it for me on this video. Thank you so much for watching. If you can give it a big thumbs up, it really helps the algorithm get it out to more people. Thank you.
>> All right, good video. Good video there. We are now to our prime video.
Here is our prime video.
Uh this is our prime video and yes we are uh this is our main event.
This is what we're talking about the impact of feminism on religion. So let's check it out.
resetting your body count to zero through rituals. [music] >> Modern dating is a humiliation ritual.
You either become dual income, no kids, or a catreeder. Either way, you watch your bloodline die out. But we're beginning to realize that none of this was an accident. Just look at the fastest growing religions today. Among men, it's orthodoxy rooted in tradition, self-sacrifice, traditional understandings of men and women. But among women, it's witchcraft, goddess worship, and new age spirituality rooted in astrology, crystals, and worship of the divine feminine. But historically, this is not random. It's a clear indicator of a much deeper crisis. When civilizations are on the brink of collapse, one of the clearest indicators is that they turn back towards fertility cults, goddess figures, and the worship of the divine feminine. So, when you see modern women [music] turning to witch talk, divine feminine spirituality, pop star goddess worship, and antiatalist ideology. You are not just looking [music] at a dating crisis. You were watching history repeat itself. The truth is over the last h 100red years men and women have been part of a social engineering experiment that's been forming them in two completely [music] separate and incompatible ways. But once we take a look at the data, the institutions and the history of [music] how witchcraft became the fastest growing female religion, the gender divide, birthright crisis, and real story of feminism start to make [music] more sense. And this is why the uncomfortable truth that nobody wants to say out loud is that women are being used as vehicles for social engineering.
That's why it simply doesn't work to tell men to just man up and get fit and focus on self-improvement.
>> Go swipe right. If your outcome is this, go learn how to DM. Go improve your DM game. Go improve how to message better.
Go improve what emojis to send.
>> Because if it's truly the fault of our modern generation of men, then why were all the institutions and NOS's dumping billions into targeting women for the last 100 years? All you have to do is look at the data.
>> Do you believe in sin?
>> Well, I think the greatest sin in the world is bringing children into the world. We've all seen the typical statistics that women are much more liberal than men, much more educated than men, and men and women increasingly don't like each other, and therefore are having kids. But the part nobody's talking about is that this is all just a symptom of >> Now, now I'm going to say though, he says men and women increasingly don't like each other. Really, actually, what we see is men still like women. Women don't like men. That's actually what we see. And you you see this, you know, I keep talking about this. So yeah, the emojis. Yeah, D. Um, [laughter] got to get your emoji game together. That's that's how you crack the system. Um, when [laughter] 20 25 [gasps] uh what is it? 25 and under, the the 75 80% of the women don't like the men in their own cohort. They don't like men.
they, you know, they have a strong dislike for them. Uh, but the guys, 75, 80% of them really are fond of the women. Now, now, at the same time, they're claiming that the red pill is is radicalizing men and teaching them to hate women and all this kind of stuff and misogyny.
But who's actually being radicalized?
It seems to me that the women are the ones that are being radicalized, right? And so although I agree that there is an issue and there's a further divide, but I don't think it's because I don't think it's that men don't like women. I think men like women. I think it's women don't like men. And men are adapting. They're figuring out that, oh, women don't like us. And so we're not going to put up with X, Y, and Z. If you don't even like me and you're just using me, I'm not going to put myself in a situation to be used that way, you know, and to be destroyed. And so then that is being interpreted as men don't like women, right? Um, also the the thing that gets confused is when men issue a certain kind of critique of bad behavior that that's somehow that's misogyny and that's bad.
No, no, no, no. It's it's the behavior that's the problem. And if we're tracking the behavior and we can see that the behavior is creating these other these other uh these other issues in society, you know, >> corporate captured women CCW socially engineered and empowered women to gay keep men from socioeconomic mobility and legacy and to fulfill the corportocracy's desires.
>> Yep. 100%.
Yep. Thank you very much for that.
A >> much deeper problem because amid this so-called progress of our modern society, the birth rates are collapsing at tremendous rates. The US total fertility rate hit a record low of around 1.6 births per woman in recent years, well below the 2.1 per woman replacement level. But the dark truth is is that men and women no longer live in the same. We keep saying 2.1, but you know, I was watching something with a diary of a CEO, and there's an expert on there on on uh fertility rates, and he actually says that the replacement rate is more like 2.3.
That's actually more like the the the replacement rate is 2.3. We keep saying 2.1, but it's really more like 2.3.
And then obviously, you can't have.3 kids.
So really we're talking about three. So that's really where where from a practical perspective the replacement rate is really people have three kids.
You know that's that's where it actually is >> a moral universe or have the same conception of right and wrong. But why is this happening? Because morality has to be grounded in a worldview. So what exactly do women believe?
Analysts are documenting that religion is on the rise in America. You might have seen all the videos saying that there's a massive religion resurgence, but not the ones that you might think.
The fastest growing religious trends among men include Christian Orthodoxy, Roman Catholicism, with reports of a 78% surge in commerce to Orthodoxy with 20,000 people being baptized newly this year into the Orthodox Church where for about every two men who enter or >> Yeah, it's incredible. You know, you know I'm Y'all know I'm orthodox.
>> For many women who assert men don't like women, I believe it's projection and a pretext to justify their misandry. I think it's cowardly, frankly.
>> Yep. 100%. Thank you very much for that.
Um, yeah, it's incredible. And um though, you know, I'm I'm a church musician and uh and my employment is not at an Orthodox church. It's not at my uh at my church. And most Sundays I'm not able to go, but I carve out once one one a month, once per month.
And uh so Father's Day, that's this coming Sunday, that'll be my once per month. Uh, but every time I'm there, there's a there's a lot of catechumans.
Catacumans are those that are going through the process of conversion.
They're being catechized. They're they're going through the um they're learning more about this. They're learning about the ramifications of this and uh they're being counseledled. Um, and then eventually they'll be received into the church as as full-fledged, you know, uh, you know, members of the church. And, uh, yeah, it's it's exploding that there's just dozens and dozens of people like every week there's like 10 people and and often is the case. I I don't recognize the people the and the church is growing so fast rapidly and it's a small church but it's it's growing so rapidly that half of the people in there I don't even recognize.
Um so yeah it's it's it's it's quite that's pretty tremendous.
>> Orthodoxy only about one woman converts.
So that's all fine and dandy but where is all the fear?
>> Okay. Okay. Okay. Let's let's hear that again.
>> Orthodoxy only about one woman >> Okay. Hold up.
>> Here into the Orthodox church where for about every two men who enter orthodoxy only about one woman converts. So that's all.
>> Now that's interesting, right? Because we see in uh black church in particular, but we see in a lot of uh sort of low church environments, you there's a lot more women there. But we're seeing that the conversion rate to Orthodox Christianity is more men are converting.
You see, that's a that's an interesting dynamic.
>> Fine and dandy. But where is all the female spiritual enthusiasm going?
Because while many men are moving towards orthodoxy, tradition, hierarchy, sacrifice, and repentance, many women are actually moving in the opposite direction. For women, the fastest growing spiritual currents are wikah, witchcraft, new age spirituality, astrology, goddess worship, and religious disaffiliation. These are not >> religious disaffiliation.
religious disaffiliation or religiously unaffiliated, right?
>> Not neutral trends. They are female centered, anti-atriarchical, and built around the divine feminine, personal autonomy, emotional healing, and manifesting spiritual power. And we're going to get into what these movements actually believe here in a bit because it gets much darker than just crystals and horoscopes. The part nobody is telling you, not the manosphere, not the so-called right-wing Christian influencers, not self-help gurus, is that feminism itself is deeply religious. It has dogma. It has saints.
It has heresies, rituals, and sacred victims and forbidden questions that you're not allowed to ask. And at the center of it all is one core belief.
Patriarchy must be destroyed.
>> Tonight, I'm playing Ashniko Femdong and it's a little bit of a power play. There two men holding my hair down with the patriarchy. That's that's the message.
>> I was out here hating men before it became a thing. But my real muse was David Bowie. He embodied male and female spirit and that suited me just fine.
>> I believe in manifesting. I believe in all of that magic of life and that [music] that keeps me excited.
>> Can you do a tarot card reading for me?
>> Oh my god. I wish I brought them.
>> Yeah. What is that? What are you just walking around set looking to do >> every day? No, no, they come to me.
>> Oh, interesting.
>> They come to me.
>> So, I like wearing body parts as jewelry. So, I thought I wanted to wear my fans cuz I love my fans when anything in the world, right?
>> So, I thought they could send me their teeth. And then I made a headdress out of them. And I'm I'm like a thousand. So now I'm making a bra.
>> You said I have to ask you. So tell me out of time that you've slept with a ghost. I have to ask you, have you slept with a ghost?
>> I did go to the bone zone with a ghost.
>> Goddess worship. Modern pop stars are not just selling music anymore. They are selling archetypes. They are selling spiritual identities. Let's start with Beyonce. Beyonce is not simply marketed as a singer. She is quote unquote queen bee. Her imagery constantly leans into royalty, fertility, divine femininity, African goddess symbolism, and mass devotion. In Lemonade, she appears in imagery associated with ocean, the goddess of [music] beauty, sensuality, fertility, and water >> is a form of worship.
>> In the song Church Girl, she fuses church language with sexual liberation language, as if the sacred space itself has become repurposed into a celebration of autonomy. And the most diabolical of all, she recites, >> "I saw the devil.
I grew thickened skin on my feet. I bathed in bleach and plugged my minces with pages from the holy book."
>> Yes, she means she used sacred scripture as a tampon. But it gets more explicit.
Ariana Grande has openly embraced witchcraft in the oult. Literally releases a song called quote unquote God as a woman. And in the music video, she is not just singing about empowerment, but she is placed at the center of the cosmos. She's surrounded by a choir. She reimagines religious art, even placing herself in the position of God the Creator in a recreation of Michelangelo's creation of Adam, which completely inverts the script because, as we all know, Eve came from Adam's rib. And when she performed it at the VA, the stage looked like a feminist Last Supper. Now, this stuff is not subtle, but then it gets a lot darker.
Lady Gaga was one of the major bridges between the older blasphemous pop and the new ritualistic female celebrity cult. In Judas, she takes the imagery of Christ. Judas and Mary Magdalene and turns it into pop psychology. Betrayal, desire, and self-expression. In Alejandro, Catholic coded imagery, rosaries, religious costumes, eroticism, and militarized choreography all collapse into one performance. With Gaga, pop becomes ritual. Fame becomes religion, and the stage becomes an altar. And in recent times, record labels are trying to make this seem cute. Sabrina Carpenter, she takes sacrilege and turns into a joke. Her feather music was filmed inside a Catholic church with coffins, death, veils, alter imagery, and men dying around her in stylized revenge comedy.
When people were outraged, her response was basically quote unquote Jesus was a carpenter. Then in taste, horror references, blood, revenge, obsession, even voodoo doll imagery. But then the alter turns openly satanic. The most striking example is the recent new artist Sophia Zella, whose music and performance embodies this new goddess archetype beyond blatantly. Her rapid emergence out of seemingly nowhere drips with female empowerment laced with man-hate and toxic rhetoric. Live, her concerts resemble religious services.
Young girls worship her on stage.
[music] [music] >> Screaming lyrics in trance like devotion, treating her as a high priestess of feminine rage. This is goddess worship in real time. Tracks like quote, "Everybody supports women," promote these deeply entrenched feminist ideas as if they're just widely accepted by everybody and we all ought to believe them. Quote, "Everybody supports women until a woman is doing better than you."
Her EP, quote, "I can be your mother," features songs that blur maternal [music] roles with dominance and seduction and have obvious goddess worship implications. Twists nurturing control into quote, "I can be your mother. I can be your dad. I can be anything but you." A demonic genderless delusion. In one video, she tempts men with fruit in a clear reenactment of Eve, offering the forbidden apple to Adam in the garden, positioning women as seductive disruptors of order, rituals of affirmation, where traditional faith is replaced by secular idolatry of the empowered woman. And later in the video, we'll explore how she's actually taking on an ancient Hindu goddess archetype.
Now, when we go into the philosophy and the people who pushed this idea into American mainstream, we will see that this was actually their goal. What's really going on? But before we get into that, I just want to quickly remind you all that Lungs of Faith is a one-man operation. It's just me. Videos like this take a huge amount of time to research, write, record, and edit, or input on future topics. Back to the plot. This is where Witch Talk comes in.
And what shocked me is how this isn't just a meme. This stuff is witch talk.
>> Literally civilizational. It's so popular. It's in the hands of all of our young women, and it's honestly terrifying. accounts with hundreds of thousands of millions of followers dedicated to blatant and overt witchcraft, teaching young women how to cast spells, manifest, and contact the demonic. Now, one of the biggest niches and ways this works into the popular consciousness is through dating advice and teaching women to cast spells on their boyfriend.
I'm just telling y'all.
I'm just telling you.
See, y'all y'all about to on a slow Tuesday get with somebody that's casting spells on you >> and future lovers without them knowing.
Check it out. [music] >> If you came across this video, it's so you need to learn how to control that man and make him submit to your will. I cast a spell on my boyfriend.
>> The amount of time that you're hoping and wondering and fantasizing about him breaking no contact. Girl, it's been over a week. Do witchcraft on him already.
>> When they ask how I get my man to listen and do whatever I say. Controlling love spell.
>> Now to all of the girl dads and the white knights. Wake up. This is the reality. This could be your own daughter because it's in every corner of the female internet from entrepreneurship advice being littered with manifestation and seances to makeup tutorials caked in with spells.
>> I created my dream life using witchcraft. I am now financially free. I built a successful art business from scratch and I live in my dream apartment and I'm going to tell you how I did it.
I always make sure to keep three spells in my home at all times and that is a luck and abundance spell, a protection spell, and a transmutation spell. I do make all of these myself with ingredients from a metaphysical or grocery store and I hand select every ingredient because I want to really resonate and align with everything that goes into the spell and I do think that is the key to making a powerful spell.
Now, I'm going to give you a very, very powerful business spell to cast. It is actually my personal one that I use myself. This spell is the reason why I have such high quality clients throw their money at me who are loyal, who don't waste no time, all of the check boxes. [music] Because with enchantments sometimes it really is easy as taking the cologne, maybe matching herb if you want to bathe it in that. Take a cologne, your beauty sigil, put it underneath it and spray your cologne. Bewitched.
>> Welcome to Glamour Magic 101.
[music] >> Okay, goddesses, let's talk about strawberry.
>> Oh my goodness, man. What'sing the dissident >> magic? So, strawberries are really, really great for seduction. I think this one ate the strawberries before she even got to the spell. The content that dominates online typically reveals what people are actually hungry for. And right now, a massive amount of popular women's content is astrology, witchcraft, divine feminine energy, manipulation, therapy speak, anti-motherhood empowerment. Meanwhile, men's content is obsessed with success, lifting, discipline, money, and self-improvement, which don't get me wrong, all have their serious problems.
But pretending that men are equally in as bad of a state as women is just completely delusional. Men are being told to become stronger. Women are being told they are goddesses. Those are not the same problem. An increasingly popular trend among young women is using their menstrual blood and rituals.
>> Think carefully about who you're doing this for because you won't be able to distance yourself from that person ever again. Take a sanitary pad and make a hole in it. Through this hole, insert a photo of the person you wish to have in your life. If you are on your period, it is much more effective.
>> And then it moves into relationships.
>> I remember when I did the love spell on my boyfriend because he was treating me bad and I wanted him to act differently.
It worked.
And the worst part is is that even though they may be communicating with the demonic, getting insights from the enemy, much of the time they don't even see this as being witchcraft, but simply see this as something harmless that just works.
>> Okay, ready? We listen and we don't judge. In 2022, me and my boyfriend broke up in August and I pretty much spent 9 months wishing that we would get back together and trying to find a way to get back together with him. And I was in my delusional era. I was on TikTok on the tarot tarot card girls that like tell you that your ex is getting back to you. Yeah. So that was all over my for you page and I saw this video of this girl doing this love spell and I think she was a witch but I don't know. And I was in a time of desperation and I did the love spell and within 2 days he was texting me and calling me and then within a [music] week we were hanging out and now we've been back together for over a year and a half almost 2 years and I am convinced that the love spell actually worked and I have kept it because I'm afraid to throw it away because if I throw it away what if he breaks up we break up. And this [music] man now worships the ground I walk on.
Like it's a completely different relationship than we were together before. And he would literally take a bullet from me. And it is the most healthy and best relationship I have ever had. And I swear that those rich girls, they just know something that we don't because I never believed it and I believe we listen and we don't judge.
>> But this just speaks to the grand delusion of the masses today and the lack of proper orthodox Christian spiritual formation regarding the demonic. But once we get to the true history of feminism and the occult and what they're trying to accomplish, it soers you up very quickly. But how did this happen? How did witchcraft go from something whispered about in the shadows, actively condemned and discouraged in society to something your average suburban girl finds between skincare tutorials and dating advice?
How did astrology, spell jars, blood rituals, goddess worship, and manipulation magic become normal enough to be packaged as quote unquote healing?
Well, this is where the story [music] gets much bigger and points to a much more serious indicator of the state of our society. Because historically, when civilizations begin to collapse, they without fail turn back towards fertility cults, goddess [music] figures, mystery religion, magic, and the divine feminine. And you see this in the late Roman world with the spread of mystery cults like Isis and Sibel. You see this in collapsing pagan societies where fertility, sexuality, and sacred feminine power become spiritual substitutes for a dying civic order.
When a society loses God the father, it starts looking for God the mother.
>> Oh snap.
>> One of the most important figures in the rise of modern oult spirituality was Helena Petrova Bllovatzky. Born in the Russian Empire in 1831, Blavsky became the central founder of something called the Theosophical Society in 1875. A movement that claimed to recover an ancient hidden wisdom beneath all world religions. Theosophy did not present Christianity as the final revelation of God. It treated Christianity as but one fragment of a much larger esoteric system alongside Hinduism, Buddhism, reincarnation, spiritual evolution, hidden masters, oult powers, and secret knowledge. The society's goals were openly institutional to form a quote universal brotherhood of humanity to encourage comparative religion, philosophy, and science, and to investigate the quote unexplained laws of nature and quote powers latent in humanity. In other words, Bolvadsky was not just selling private witchcraft. She was helping build a new spiritual framework for the modern world. One that could >> That's right. coexist. There you go.
>> Ultimately be synthesized into a single point of control, placing itself figuratively above all formal organized religion, which made it attractive to wealthy institutions and hedgeimonies that wanted to consolidate their power.
And this is where ties between feminism, goddess worship, and institutions funding the stuff like the Rockefellers become impossible to ignore. As we will continue to see, Bulvatky's first major work was literally called Isis Unveiled, attempting to present the goddess Isis as a symbol of hidden wisdom beneath the surface of ordinary religion, casting the narrative that patriarchy must be defeated and replaced with the matriarchy, using Isis as a very useful symbol or Trojan horse into achieving that end. Later, feminist oult writers also turned ISIS into a model of sacred feminine power. Hence the obscene amounts of imagery relating to ISIS in today's popular entertainment landscape.
Historian Joy Dixon in Divine Feminine, Theosophy and Feminism in England argues that Theosophy and its pantheon of goddesses became deeply deeply connected to feminist political culture.
Theosophists claim that women and quote the East possessed spiritual forces that western man had lost through materialism, empire, and rationalism.
That is basically an early form of what we now call quote the divine feminine.
This was not yet witch talk but it was the seedbed and it planted itself at the heart of the first wave feminist suffragist movement. A perfect example that we need to understand after Bolvadsky is Annie Bassant. Now it's common online to hear from men and women and even self-professed Christians that oh well firstwave feminism was good but you know >> this looks like Hydra thoughtful face emoji.
Thank you very much for that, dude.
First wave feminism was good. It just got off track, right? Remember? And I tell y'all about this and you have conservatives running around talking this way.
Right.
>> Well, things got out of control with second and thirdwave feminism.
>> Feminists, look, the status quo.
feminists ask for it, you're going to get equality. You ask for equality, >> that wasn't original feminism, though.
>> No. Well, feminism has always been a man-hating ideology, but that's another conversation.
>> Conversation.
>> And so, my position would be we should give [music] feminism credit for the good things that has done to improve women's dignity throughout the course of history, including what first wave and even some second and third wave feminists. I think [music] from the beginning, feminists have always been concerned with this core question. What does it mean to be just [music] to women as women? But that [clears throat] couldn't be further from the historical [music] truth. Basant was not some obscure mystic. She was a major public intellectual, a secularist, a socialist, [music] feminist, birth control activist, theosophist, Freemason, and even eventually the first female president of the Indian National Congress in 1917. And she's important because she brought together the ideas that most people today imagine are separate. Feminism, socialism, contraception, [music] anti-Christian radicalism, oult spirituality, and political revolution. When birth control is brought up, we automatically think of the [music] 1960s. But people don't realize just how much further back this actually goes. In 1877, Basant and Charles Bradlaw republished Charles Nolton's birth control pamphlet called Fruits of Philosophy, which was once long buried underground as way too insane and controversial. They were prosecuted for, but it still served as a major victory for the feminists and oultists because the trial turned birth control into a national public dialogue and issue that was no longer fringe.
Afterwards, they helped found something called the Malthusian League, which promoted contraception to limit family size. Malthusianism comes from Thomas Malthus who argued that population growth could outstrip food and resources producing poverty and social crisis. Now the >> uhoh there's your anti-natalism.
>> This was based on very faulty data and terrible premises but regardless this narrative made its way into society and still continues today and ultimately the solution became population control.
Oddly politically convenient. Ah now Basan herself didn't associate herself with the term quote antiatalist but she helped normalize one of its deepest assumptions that children are no longer the natural fruit of marriage and sexuality but they become optional delayed managed prevented and controlled. And this is why Band becomes so important. She shows us how feminism was advanced not only through politics but through the oult. In Victorian society, mainstream science, religion, and public authority were overwhelmingly male-dominated. But theosophy gave women a way to bypass those structures entirely. Instead of appealing to the church, the academy, or the family, women could claim authority through the institution, clairvoyance, mystical sensitivity, reincarnation, and hidden spiritual knowledge. Very similar to how women today just say, "Oh, I'm following God's will. Oh, how how do you know that? Oh, God told me. You know, I I had a dream. I had a vision >> healing you right now. Thank you, Jesus.
I detach you from all of that that you renounce now. I [music] break every word curse spoken over you and over your identity.
>> I'm just following my female intuition.
>> And practically speaking, this is how first wave feminism worked. It recommended and promoted women to leave the home so that they could become part of institutions outside of the family.
So that through the women they could be used to control the inside of the family which is the patriarchy.
>> Why did I take a defense job? That's a funny question. I never thought of that before. Do you have to have a reason?
We're in a jam, aren't we? I'm sorry, but you have to excuse me. I'm too busy to have to dance questions like that.
>> In other words, the very traits often associated with femininity were rebranded as higher forms of knowing.
This is the part people conveniently ignore when they romanticize first-wave feminism. Its roots were not only voting rights and legal reform. The first wave was explicitly oult, anti-atriarchical, anti-Christian, and revolutionary from the very beginning.
[laughter] Wikah. No, not not Wiga. Although we are real Wigas out here. Wikah with two C's.
You've probably heard about online, but most people don't really understand what it is. The topic has long been going viral, especially as it's been rising to becoming the most popular religion among women today. Wikah is one of the most popular branches of paganism and there are so many different traditions.
>> But what exactly is it and where did it come from? Before we get to answering that hot question, we need to touch on Alistister Crowley who was the so-called spiritual father of the inventor of Wikah. Crowley was a British oultist, ceremonial magician and founder of The Limma, the modern oult religion built around the famous satanic command, quote, "Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the law." He called himself quote the beast 666 practiced what he called quote magic and placed enormous emphasis on will sexual rituals and spiritual self-divization. This matters because Crowley represented a shift from religion as obedience towards [music] God towards spirituality is the expression of sovereign self. That is the bridge to the modern world. That was the vehicle that was actually used to make these abstract philosophies flourish into the mainstream. Sex becomes magical technique. The body becomes a ritual instrument. then will become sacred. And you see it all over Barnes & Noble bookstores where essentially all of a sudden now they're giant [music] metaphysical witchcraft bookstores. But this did not stay isolated. Crowley's [music] ideas influenced the world of modern oultism, especially through Thema and Ortomply Orientis. Most importantly [music] for this story, scholars have specifically connected Crowley to the early development of Wikah because the modern witchcraft revival did not simply descend untouched from ancient village paganism. And that brings us to the man who would package [music] that oult stream into modern religion for the post-Christian West. Gerald Gardner, the central figure behind the invention of Wikah.
>> Working within the team, we can produce results.
>> But can you give me any example of these results that you claim?
>> Well, here I've got is a wax image was made 11 months ago, last November precisely. A man was doing a very clever bit of blackmail attempting to get some property because we can't fight against him. He's too strong. As a man wouldn't, he said cost him £3,000. He wouldn't give it up. So he went to a wish. So she bound him up so he couldn't move in the matter and pinned his lips together so he couldn't speak in the matter and two days after his his lawyer wrote to him and said our clients begin and insist on announcing all claims and insists on signing documents to that effect and was sentenced to as soon as they were sent.
>> Gardner claimed that witchcraft was not merely superstition but the survival of an ancient pre-Christian religion. In witchcraft today he presented witches as initiates of a quote an old and probably stone age religion preserving ancient knowledge through coven circles and goddess centered worship. But this is where the story gets important because Wika presents itself as ancient but scholars.
>> What's happening in Eric? Von Eric >> generally describe it as a modern reconstruction modern invention. It was systematized in the 20th century through gardener drawing from folklore ritual magic western esotericism the discredited witch cult theory and reconstructed pagan material. And Oxford's work on Crowley and Wikah notes that Gardner drew heavily on Crowley's work in the early stages of Wikah even if that influence later sort of got buried under the sand. And that is why it fit the post-Christian West so perfectly. Wikah gave modern people the feeling of ancient religion without the authority of the church, ritual without obedience, nature without creation, sexuality without procreation, goddess worship and unrestrained sexuality and slavery to the passions and spiritual power without repentance. [music] But the 1960s are where this stops being an elite oult world and becomes mass youth culture. Before this you had blobotsky, Theosophy Crowley, ceremonial magic and gardener systematizing modern wickah. But in the 1960s, those older streams exploded into the mainstream through music, drugs, sexuality, psychology, Eastern religion, and rebellion. The counterculture rejected almost every inherited institution, the church, the family, [music] sexual morality, patriotism, hierarchy, and traditional authority. But this wasn't accidental. It replaced Christianity with personal spiritual experience. Young people turned to psychedelics, yoga, meditation, Hinduism, Buddhism, astrology, oultism, wikah, commune, free love, and the language of quote expanded consciousness. Figures like Timothy Liry and Richard Alpert at Harvard helped popularize psychedelic experimentation.
Albert later became Ramdas, one of the major bridges between psychedelics and eastern spirituality. The Beatles helped make Indian religion and transcendental meditation fashionable. Alan Watts brought Zen and Eastern mysticism into the American imagination. Why do we have to put ourselves in boxes?
Why is everything constructed in rectangles? The world is not rectangular.
>> And the Eslin Institute in California became one of the nerve centers of the human potential movement. A place where psychology, Eastern religion, sexuality, and counter groups, mysticism, and self-realization all blended together and stemmed out of. And then there's the CIA. At the same time this youth spirituality was exploding, the CIA was secretly running MK Ultra, a covert mind control and chemical interrogation program involving LSD and other drugs.
And many modern scholars will agree the oult and witchcraft, heavily influenced by Alistister Crowley. Congressional investigations later revealed that the CIA funded and conducted experiments, sometimes on unwitting subjects in an effort to study behavior, control, interrogation, and psychological manipulation. Do as thou wilt, and let that be the letter of the law. This is where the CIA question becomes impossible to ignore because one of the most famous faces of second-wave feminism, Gloria Steinum, had a documented relationship with the CIA before she became a feminist icon. In the late 1950s and early 1960s, Steinum worked with the so-called independent research service, [music] an organization used to send American students to communist youth festivals in Europe as a part of a cold war anti-communist strategy. The New Yorker summarizes the point bluntly. Steinum was in charge, knew where the money was coming from, and later said, quote, "If I had a choice, I would do [music] it again." This isn't ancient history. It's context. The 1960s didn't just happen.
Psychedelics, Eastern spirituality, free love, oult revival, radical student politics, and second-wave feminism all detonated at the same time and at the same moment. And at the core of nearly all of them [music] was a shared mission, the subversion of Christian patriarchy.
This brings us to the goddess imagery that's impossible to dismiss. When Secondwave feminism finally got its flagship mass media platform, Miss Magazine, which was co-founded by Gloria Steinum and the CIA, what symbol did they choose for their very first issue?
[music] Callie, a modern, pregnant, multi-armed Cali, crying, juggling housework, career, beauty standards, child care, and domestic labor all at once. The message was clear. The modern woman is crushed by impossible demands and awakening to her primal power. But the choice of symbol wasn't neutral.
Cali had been embraced by feminists for decades precisely because she's the ultimate icon of anti-atriarchy. Let's be clear about what she actually represents. She stands triumphantly over the corpse and on the chest of her husband, the god Shiva, dominance over men. She is untamed, ferocious, and completely beyond societal control or shame. She's the goddess of creation through destruction. She doesn't reform.
She annihilates the patriarchy to clear the ground for something new. Sound familiar? This isn't ancient mythology being innocently reclaimed. It's a deliberate invocation of a deity whose entire archetype is the violent overthrow of patriarchy, hierarchy, and masculine authority.
But the question remains, why did these movements capitalize so heavily on Eastern mysticism, goddess imagery, and transcendental spirituality? Because the truth is they >> what's happening chaos >> offered people spirituality without requiring them to submit to a Christian worldview. Christianity comes with the patriarchical created order. God the father, Christ, the church, the family, fatherhood, motherhood, chastity, repentance, hierarchy, and moral obligation. Most importantly, unlike any other religion that claims to be monotheistic, such as Islam, Christianity calls God father in the truest sense that he has a son.
Christianity is fundamentally ordered around patriarchy. But new age spirituality could give people the feeling of religion without [music] those commitments. People could still have the mystical experiences even though they're demonic. Rituals, meditation, psychedelics, energy, spirit guides, and the language of transcendence, but without actually being bound to the Christian patriarchy, sexual morality, or the authority of the church that made it useful. Once spirituality was detached from Christianity, it became much easier to replace God the Father with the divine feminine, replace repentance with self-exression, and replace created sexual order with personal autonomy. And once the feminine became sacred in this new system, women could be recast as spiritual authorities, sexual liberators, and symbols of rebellion against the old order. The logic was simple. Change the spiritual imagination of women, you change the direction of society.
At this point, we have to ask the obvious question. Is any of this actually real? Is witchcraft real? Are demons real? Are these goddesses real?
or are they just symbols and archetypes that people use because they're philosophically and psychologically useful and powerful? And the Christian answer is yes, they are real, but not always in the cartoon way that people imagine. There is only one God. But scripture is also very clear that behind false worship, there are real spiritual [music] powers. Think of a concert.
Thousands of people gather in one place, sing the same words, move to the same rhythm, cry at the same moments, worship the same figure, and participate in the same emotional atmosphere. That is not nothing. That is a real metaphysical reality. As our beloved father Sarapim Rose talks about in his prophetic [music] book, Orthodoxy and the religion of the future. You will either participate in the spirit of truth, the Holy Spirit, the uncreated grace of God through worship, [music] repentance, fasting, prayer, confession in the life of the church, or you will participate in the spirit of the age, resentment, lust, autonomy, rebellion, power, manipulation, and self- worship. [music] And how do we know this is real? Look at the fruit. Antiatalism, [music] the rejection of birth itself.
>> Do you?
>> Yep.
>> Believe in sin.
>> I think the greatest sin in the world is bringing children into the world.
>> It becomes celebrated. It becomes content. It becomes testimony. It becomes a political sacrament. And they're spending billions of dollars to make sure that from the youngest age, this is what children believe.
>> So, you think it's okay depending on the circumstances?
>> Yes.
>> Why did you have an abortion? A few years ago, I got pregnant and [music] I really didn't want to have a baby. He wasn't wearing a condom.
>> Why wasn't he wearing a condom?
>> Have you ever had two options and one of them like seems easier at the time?
>> Oh, yeah. Like you could take a shortcut or you could go the long version.
>> What did your partner think at the time?
>> You know, I think we were both like bummed out that I got pregnant and he was just like supportive of what I wanted to do.
>> Were you reckless at the time?
>> Um, I mean, I don't I wouldn't really say that I was being reckless. Women are encouraged to quote shout their >> yeah that's reckless >> post about them joke about them and frame the destruction of their own children as self-empowerment liberation and self-love and once abortion becomes something a society celebrates rather than mourns antiatalism has fully entered the bloodstream Nick said quote if I had not had that abortion I'm pretty sure there would have been no Fleetwood Mac what a great tragedy that would have been Jennifer Grace says I wouldn't have had my life, I wouldn't have had the career I had. I wouldn't have had anything." Michelle Williams at the Golden Globe said she would not have been able to live her life, quote, without employing a woman's right to choose. CBS summarized her speeches saying that abortion rights enabled her to be where she was. Chelsea Handler said, quote, I'm grateful that I came to my senses and I was able to get an abion legally. She also wrote, quote, anybody who carefully decides not to become a parent should be applauded. This is what I mean when I say abortion becomes sacramental in the modern world. Stevie Nick says there would be no Fleetwood Mac without abortion. Jennifer Grace says that she would not have had her career. Michelle Williams thanks choice from an award stage. Shout your abortion turns into a topic of public testimony.
And the god these people worship becomes very clear. The satanic temple literally calls it a religious abortion ritual.
[music] But antiatalism doesn't always show up as someone saying, "I hate babies." Most of the time it sounds much more soft. It sounds like I'm not ready.
Kids ruin your life. Pregnancy destroys your body. The world is too evil.
Motherhood is unpaid labor. or I choose myself. This is how antiatalism becomes normalized. It becomes the assumption underneath dating, [music] education, careers, birth control, abortion, therapy, culture, climate anxiety, and modern feminism. And this is how the devil works. He sells the lie as liberation. [music] And then the trap closes. And all of a sudden, women are too old for kids. They miss the opportunity for motherhood. They give away their virginity like it's worthless. And when they regret it, the devil [music] laughs. And this is why men should really not be laughing at women's collapse. It isn't funny. It's not some sort of a dunk. It's not some great victory when women are bitter, lonely, masculineized, childless, and displaced by the very ideologies they embraced. As the wisdom of Ben Sarak says, [music] "If you have daughters, guard their purity, and do not spoil them or be overly permissive with them."
Christianity says, "Woman is most exalted not when she becomes a goddess, but when she becomes holy through theosis, the highest [music] image of womanhood is not the witch, the priestess, the girl boss, the seductress, or the autonomous woman who belongs to no one. It is the theotocos.
Mary does not become great by rejecting God's order. She becomes great by receiving it. She does not treat birth as oppression. She receives life as a gift. She does not say my body my choice. She says let it be unto me according to thy word. That is the complete opposite of the modern spirit.
The goddess says my life belongs to me.
Mary says my life belongs to God. And this is why antiatalism is not just a political opinion. It's a spiritual inversion. Because once a society rejects God the father, motherhood stops being seen as participation in life and becomes a threat to the self. And that's the truth that's underlying our current dating crisis, the birthright crisis, and society's inability to reproduce.
And I firmly believe only the Orthodox Church has the grounds and the capabilities to do that. What makes the Orthodox Church stand apart from the rest is that it's fundamentally not a rebellion or a reaction to something.
