Feminist ethic of careerism and
easy sex is a recipe for
national disaster.
>> Disagree,
now you might be wondering who is
that?
Well, it's a political
science professor from
Boise State University and
he believes that women should be
banned from practicing medicine,
engineering, law.
In fact, he thinks the only place
for a woman is in the home raising
children.
And based on the fact that he
exists, women should probably
consider banning reproduction.
[LAUGH] But nonetheless,
let me give you the details of who
this guy is.
His name is Scott Yenor and he's a
professor of political science over
at Boise State University and he
also teaches political philosophy.
And he recently spoke at the
National Conservatism Conference in
Orlando.
This happened in late October, but
the video of his speech has just
gone viral and there are too many
tidbits to share with you.
Let's start with the first.
>> It is sold many women a bill of
goods and
a genuinely fulfilling communal
family life has been a casualty of
the lies that our country's leaders
have been telling.
It has led to many men without
purpose in their lives and just as
many women who are friendless,
unhappy and without purpose.
>> Okay, so
that was a fascinating argument,
right?
Because it's like feminism is so
terrible that it has led to men
with no purpose in their lives.
But what do feminists have anything
to do with men lacking purpose in
their lives?
>> Why don't they man up and
take personal responsibility for
their own lives.
What kind of a man goes,
what did the feminists say?
Okay, then I'm not going to do
anything the feminists said
something.
Come on man, so
it's pathetically weak.
But that's generally conservatives.
This is a super interesting case
because he's about saying things
that are much worse in my opinion.
And should he keep his job?
Well, that's a really
hard question.
He's tenured but at the same time,
do you really want to take
his classes if this is
what he thinks about women?
So by the way,
we have a poll on it,
we care about what you think.
We're going to give you all
the details, tyt.com/polls to vote
on it and this is another one
that's and I think is tough.
But what's interesting is the
defense of him by conservatives.
They think this is all legitimate
way of thinking.
>> I'm in a decisive mood.
I think you should be fired, but
I'll make my case after presenting
all the evidence.
Okay, and to be clear, I am not the
type of person who just willy nilly
wants to fire people, especially
when it comes to academic freedom
and tenured professors.
But just let me present
the evidence and I'll make my case.
I want to go to the second video
where he not only doubles down on
what he's saying.
The big brain gentleman here also
wants to make a point about how
the world is falling apart because
women just aren't having kids.
>> If our ideal woman is
a childless media scold or
a baron bureaucratic apparatchik,
there is no question whether we can
have a future, we can't.
There is a question of whether we
deserve one.
Starts back up
the important observations here.
Our feminist culture, points women,
especially young women away from
marriage and family life through
its celebration of careerism.
Thus more and
more women every generation delay
marriage and
increasingly forgo marriage.
As women delay and forego marriage,
they are increasingly likely to
delay and forgo having children.
When women forgo marriage and
decline to have children,
men are not called forth to duties,
to the duties of fatherhood for
instance.
And when men are not called forth
to duties of fatherhood,
they're hardly called forth to any
duties at all.
The providing father is
the model for all mail duty.
Many men lose their way when they
are not called forth towards such
important duties like fatherhood.
That connect them with enduring
commitments through creating
a family and leading a marriage.
>> So in other words, not only is
this guy insulting women, he's also
insulting men as these aimless,
pathetic losers who don't know what
to do with themselves unless
they have a child to take care of.
Now I happen to believe that men
have a lot more to live for.
I happen to believe
that men find purpose
in many different facets of life
other than just having children.
But this is the insulting worldview
that this man has not just in
regard to women, but
also in regard to men.
That men again are just aimless
losers who don't know what to do
with themselves unless
they procreate unless they
have children to take care of.
This is a side note, but
it's really creepy how much this
guy has sat down to think about
the personal sex lives of private
individuals.
Just putting that out there.
And the final thing I want to note,
no mention of the economic factors
that literally force couples to
have a dual income household.
Because I would love for him to
address the fact that we have no
mandatory paid family leave.
Okay, we have no social safety net,
no support for new families.
And he acts as if like, therefore
all these people are foregoing
marriage and having children.
I'm sure there are plenty of people
who would like to have children,
okay, who have really considered
having children.
But you sit down, you think about
the economics of it and
it doesn't make any sense.
There's no childcare in America.
The cost of childcare is
astronomical.
You cannot make ends meet with
a single income household unless
you have one person working in
finance or something,
making a ton of money.
I mean, no mention
about the economic factors.
All this is I don't like what's
happening to our culture and I want
women to stay home because men are,
in my mind incredible losers who
have nothing better to do unless
they have kids to take care of.
That's what he's saying.
>> Yeah, we're about to get to the
worst video, but I'll just chip in
two quick things on this one here.
First of all, they're so
concerned about are women barren?
>> So creepy, it's like that hurt,
it's just so creepy.
>> No, because what that implies-
>> Are you barren homeboy, sorry.
>> No, but yes,
some men are sterile by the way.
There's nothing they
could do about it.
Are they like,
you are to be judged.
You're a bad person.
What are you, a lunatic?
It's called freedom by the way.
So they don't believe that
independence of freedom at all.
Hey, a woman could be
an anthropologist or she could be
a banker or she can stay at home.
We are in favor of choice.
Let her do whatever
the hell she wants.
It's called,
that's the whole idea of freedom.
He says, no, if they're not at home
popping out kids they're barren.
They shouldn't even be going out
there in the workforce.
What happened to freedom?
Okay, there days,
the world's biggest hypocrites,
they never meant any of it.
And the word barren implies your
job as a woman is to make babies
for us.
And if you're not doing that,
you're useless hence barren.
Okay, and so
now those are funny pictures.
And then, but I want to double down
on what Anna said too because
he insults men so much.
The conservatives have this
incredibly weak view of men and
if you are conservative,
I hope you don't believe that.
But almost every one of them says
the same thing, right?
I have kids,
I got them later in life,
I had my son when I was 40 and
my daughter when I was 42.
I wasn't going around wondering
like what's the big deal man?
I have no purpose until
the age of 40.
>> I think you're building
a company.
>> Yeah, just building this company
and I worked my ass off,
I worked 15, 18 hour days.
I was some jackass.
Please [INAUDIBLE] because there's
no babies, there's no babies.
So I'm an idiot, I'm a a dump dump.
I have no purpose
because there's no babies, a baby.
I now have purpose.
Look at the comic,
you have men there.
>> But by the way ,maybe for
some men,
maybe for him having children and
he has five kids.
So he is not in fact barren, okay.
But he has five kids and maybe
having those children did in fact
give him purpose and you know what?
I applaud him for that, awesome.
But to basically rely
on reproducing to give both men and
women purpose.
I think to project your own values
onto everyone else is laughable.
And remember while he's spewing
all this crazy stuff about barren
women and all that,
you have like he doesn't want women
to be part of the workforce.
He wants a huge portion of
the workforce to stay home.
And this is happening at a time
when yes, the birth rate is at
an all time low in America, right?
Less and less people,
less and less couples are planning
on having children.
And that's leading to economists
panicking because in order for
our capitalistic economy to work,
you need a workforce, right?
You need workers.
And so they're panicking about
people not having kids,
economists are.
But this guy is like, no, no,
let's just be, let's accelerate
this situation and just subtract
all these women from the workforce.
Because I don't like independent
women, which is about to
get into in this next video.
>> What does this independent woman
really mean?
Are independent women seek their
purpose in life in mid level
bureaucratic jobs like human
resource management, environmental
protection and marketing?
They are more medicated, meddlesome
and quarrelsome than women need to
be, without connections to eternity
delivered through their family.
Such medicated quarrelsome and
meddlesome women gain their meaning
through the seeming participation
in the global project.
They are agents of the new world,
but not new life.
>> Notice he used the word
meddlesome, not once, but twice,
and that's important.
It's really,
really important because what does
meddlesome really mean here.
It means women who have economic
independence have power and
they get to have a say whether it
be in a marriage, in a household,
in a workplace, whatever it is.
And he don't like that.
>> And I gotta build on that
because that's
such a terrific point.
It implies by its the very nature
of the word that men are in charge
and women are meddling like he
would never call men meddlesome.
Who would they be meddling with?
They would be meddling with the
women in power presumably, right?
It would never even occur to him to
call men meddlesome.
But men should have all the power.
Now he says, what are they
going to the workforce for, to
be involved in the global project.
Well, then why are men going into
the workforce,
to be involved in the global?
Why don't you have disdain for
them being involved in
the global project?
No, because that is the arena of
men making important decisions and
exercising power.
Now women want to come in here and
meddle with us, exercising power.
How dare they and then when you
say go back into the kitchen and
produce babies for me,
they're quarrelsome.
They quarrel with me.
I mean, again,
look at the assumption there,
I am right.
And if you disagree with me,
you're being quarrelsome.
Okay, so no,
that last video right there,
that ends the conversation.
Not in terms of whether he should
be fired because he is tenured,
that continues to be interesting.
But in terms of whether he has
a legitimate point of view and
look, hey, this is just
a conservative point of view.
And I think the transgender person
on the track team is the wrong
thing and taxes should be 37%,
not 39%.
No, he obviously thinks women
are inferior.
He doesn't mind saying it publicly.
>> He doesn't think that women
should be at college getting
an education for a future career.
Thus his ideology conflicts with
his ability to perform his job.
Okay, there's a huge conflict
there.
He should not be a professor
because he is handing out grades
for female students and
clearly he has a strong bias
against those female students,
which is why I'm decisive on this.
Okay, I believe in tenure,
I believe in academic freedom.
This ain't academic freedom.
This is a belief system that
creates a conflict for
his female students.
He's clearly biased against them.
I question whether he's able to
objectively give them the grades
they deserve.
I mean, in the very least
the university should look into
whether or not he's been fair to
female students.
Okay, but it seems like they're not
even willing to do that.
The university has released
a statement essentially saying
that, look, he says things that
might make people uncomfortable,
but we're not going to do anything
about it because
of his academic freedom.
>> Yeah, so the reason
why I say it's difficult is
because tenure must be protected.
Because if you don't protect
tenure, who are the first people
they are going to come after?
I guarantee you it's going to be
left wing professors.
And God forbid if you're
a professor who's left wing and
supports Palestinian rights.
Look, the Barry Weiss of the world
already started cancel
culture a long time ago.
And the way that they started it
was trying to get professors that
they deemed to be insufficiently
loyal to Israel fired for
many different campuses across
the country.
So it was actually the right wing
that started cancel culture and
it was to fire professors.
So I don't want to degrade tenure.
So on the other hand,
this guy grading people's papers,
both men and
women, but especially women,
is untenable, it's unthinkable.
Look, he's teaching Polly's side
and he said in that speech,
that what do you want,
these women want to be bureaucrats
in a global project?
Well, who would be a bureaucrat
in his mindset, it would be
someone who goes into politics.
He made two to three references to
politics in just a short videos
that we showed you guys.
So he literally thinks if you're
a woman in my political science
class, I don't think you should
go into this field.
I think you're better off being
a chattel for a man being changed
somewhere and popping out babies.
So what are you doing in my goddamn
class trying to learn
political science?
What are you going to be,
a bureaucrat? You're going to be
part of the global project.
You're going to go
work for a living.
>> So do you still find
an interesting question or do you?
>> No, I do,
the reason is because there's
no way he should be teaching.
There's no way he should be
given grades.
He's the most biased man in
America.
>> You should be fired.
>> Okay, but can you put him in
some administrative position where
he basically does nothing, so
you protect tenure?
But not have him teach classes,
do stupid right wing Neanderthal
research in a corner and
have Ben Shapiro fap to it.
I don't care, okay, but
I can't have him grading tests.
There's no way in the world that
guy is going to be fair to women.
No way, by the way.
Also the men, because he probably
hates everybody.
But in his remembering
what he said earlier.
Well, until you have a baby,
the man is aimless and
without purpose.
Well, most of the guys in
college don't have babies.
So it's like these and
I bet you he does think of these
freaking losers.
They come in here with no babies,
even they are past 18 and
they haven't even popped out
a couple of kids yet.
They have no purpose at all.
And so these are monstrous piece,
by the way, celebrated in the right
wing celebrated.
>> Of course he is, listen- >> Ben
Shapiro already wrote an article
about it was back in 2017
before the latest controversy, but
he'd already said stuff like this.
And Shapiro says, it's not witch
hunt against this poor professor,
but Shapiro does make a good point.
He said he is very much in the
mainstream of conservative thought.
So this is people reacting against
conservative ideology.
Well, if this is your ideology,
yeah, we're reacting against it
because you guys are monsters,
Idiots and you hate the idea of
freedom for 51% of the country.
How much clearer can you be
the guy freaking said it?
You don't belong in the workforce,
you don't deserve the choice that
men have, go back to producing
babies for men.
Yeah, this is what conservatives
think and they're monsters.
>> You want people to have babies
create the economic conditions for
them to feel comfortable making
that choice, it's that easy,
end of story.
