Hi everyone I hope you're all well so a little while ago pop artist Cardi B stunned us with
her WAP prompting much pearl clutching from well everyone I know actually including me see while
it's no secret that western popular culture is saturated with suggestive material to put it
delicately for decades now this particular clip and most notably the reaction to it from the
female empowerment squad signified to me that we have reached a level of cognitive dissonance that
i am afraid that we cannot come back from rather than decry the song and the music video as taking
women's lib back several decades feminists framed the performance as empowering groundbreaking
liberating and labelled any criticism of it as believe it or not racist i'm sorry what
this is the reason that so many creepy sexist men are drawn to feminism nowadays it is a movement
of women who actively encourage other women to wear very little clothing and dance suggestively
on camera while calling it female empowerment feminism is a haven for misogynists ironically
anyway the Cardi B issue is just one cog in an increasingly giant wheel of horrible thanks to
the amount of gratuitously explicit material pushed through popular culture and advertising
plus the gigantic amount of even more gratuitously explicit material designed for people's private
time available on the internet for free there is a generation of young people you know guys
and gals between the ages of 13 and 30 who have had their perception of relations between men
and women both romantic and platonic warped by an aggressive cultural force that claims to
command respect for women but in reality does the exact opposite but in order to understand this we
need to go right back to the source who is to blame for this WAPed mess boomer feminists
yep the feminists who came of age in the 1960s and helped foster the sexual revolution are largely
to blame for the complete degradation of standards we are seeing now i would like to be perfectly hit
clear however not all boomers i love the boomer generation big fan i consider myself a mino so
millennial and name only and an honorary boomer love boomers just not boomer feminists and not
even all boomer feminists most boomer feminists i actually have an awful lot in common with
it's a particular niche of boom of feminists like you know the type they were born in the late 1940s
they had their heyday in the 60s and 70s in the age of free love they refused to acknowledge that
they actually did win the mid 20th century culture war and they don't think the political right has
changed since the 1950s they all have twitter accounts but tweet under pseudonyms so their kids
and grandkids don't realize the anti-intellectual claptrap they post and they all hate me and it's
their fault that we're in this current mess of anxiety loneliness and cultural smut but let me
back up as usual i am getting ahead of myself what i'm going to do in this video is outline why the
sexual revolution was in many ways the worst thing to happen to western society in the last 60 years
just as this proponent sought it changed the way women are perceived and the way men and
women often relate to each other but not in the way those boomer feminists intended
so what exactly was the sexual revolution well in the late 1960s as the second wave of feminism
was evolving women started to challenge the role they were prescribed in terms of
intimate relations shall we say at the core of the movement was the notion that women just like men
enjoyed being intimate and had particular desires that needed to be fulfilled again just like men
this was a radical notion at the time since the concept of female sexuality was just not a thing
as such feminists asserted that women should have the same kinds of carnal freedoms as men
rather than suffering under the expectation that they would abstain until marriage and that their
having intercourse was solely for procreation rather than also for enjoyment in short the sexual
revolution was about female sexual empowerment and as the 1960s progressed the idea of physical
exploration with multiple people rather than virginity became the driving cultural force now
for the record i got no beef whatsoever with women being seen as autonomous sexual beings with their
own desires who don't deserve to be [ __ ] shamed you do you and i am very enthused about hormonal
contraception couple the two and you have in isolation a much-needed societal evolution
that allowed women infinitely more social freedom the problem was it didn't stop there
it never does this kind of uh feminist activism plus the introduction of the contraceptive pill in
1961 which greatly reduced the risk of pregnancy plus the legislation and growing acceptance of
the process by which pregnancies are electively ended to use youtube friendly terminology ushered
in a culture of permissiveness and promiscuity for both men and women it was the age of free love and
while feminists build it as a time in which women discovered their sexual agency and forged their
presence next to men as autonomous physical beings the reality was not quite the case see arguing
that women's sexuality was the same as men's was ridiculous because women are not the same as men
we react in a totally different way to intercourse it is a totally different hormonal cocktail driven
by overloads of oxytocin that we have no control over you want to know why women have a reputation
for being clingy even after a casual encounter it's because we are it's baked into our dna i'm
just watching my ex-boyfriend make out with the hottest girl i've ever seen therefore why on earth
would these idiot boomer feminists think it was a good idea to insist that women could behave the
same way that men do regarding the proverbial sack and that there would be no societal consequences
so what were those consequences well in the past men had been able to get their intimate kicks from
professional women who benefited in a fiscal sense from the interaction and were therefore somewhat
untroubled by middle-class social stigma however thanks to the new era of free love men could now
get their kicks from any woman they wanted for free with no accountability there would be no
religious finger wagging in this increasingly secularized world and most importantly thanks
to the pill almost no risk of knocking a girl up and subsequently being pressured to make an honest
woman out of her by marrying her and if you did get a girl pregnant well you could just blame her
for not taking the pill like everybody else seemed to be and with the roe v wade decision in 1973
even that ceased to be a problem for men since the pregnancy could be magically you know disappeared
now what do you think this did to the attitudes of men towards women while feminists were beating
the drum of female empowerment and liberation through this sexual revolution through free love
and wearing progressively revealing clothing it was men who were reaping the benefits this
feminist activism played totally into the hands of predatory male pests the very people feminists
claim to want to re-educate these men which is not all men by the way had access to proverbially
loose women at no charge and they could claim to be on the bandwagon of female empowerment
while they were doing it and to be honest not a lot has changed I mean honestly if I were a
man and a pickup artist i would absolutely be a male feminist any pickup artist would
be crazy not to support a movement that claims to liberate women sexually but actually just
makes them more susceptible to the male gaze what raging misogynist wouldn't be enthusiastic about
a movement that encourages women to wear less and less clothing and b for lack of a better word easy
and yet through all of this feminists have remained completely oblivious to the monster
they've created i mean you can't criticize men who see women as objects and refuse to
make relationship commitments to them while you are simultaneously portraying women as objects
who don't need relationship commitments made to them come on george orwell would call that
double think having two opposing beliefs at once and believing that both are true and of course
this is not all men generally predatory males are comprised of a minority of repeat offenders
it's not every man on the planet thanks to their inherent toxic masculinity as fourth
wave feminists whatever you think most men don't act this way however the ones that do
both in the past and in the present have been at least in part facilitated by a feminist movement
that encouraged women to behave like men in terms of promiscuity shame them if they
didn't and removed all accountability for men thus enabling men to take advantage of women and avoid
repercussions and it is this encouraging of women to behave like men that has i think contributed to
the steady decline of female happiness since the 1970s a decline that directly coincides with the
rise of the women's movement and i am not saying that women's lib is bad or women should be in the
home and shouldn't try to work and have kids on the contrary women having careers should give them
an additional and wonderful avenue towards further happiness and fulfillment and yet they still
become more and more unhappy and i think rather than it being the apparent societal pressure
that women feel to be successful career women plus be mothers which feminists will put down
to patriarchy when really the pressure is coming from feminists the groundwork for this unhappiness
was set in the 1960s when feminists insisted that sex was nothing sacred virginity was not important
marriage was a patriarchal institution religious adherence was holding women back and above
all else that men and women were the same from the workplace to the bedroom and therefore should be
treated as such author virginia nicholson recently released a book on the exact conundrum i have just
outlined how was it for you chronicles the lives of western women in the 1960s using individual
stories and interviews to demonstrate what can be regarded as i think women's formative
decade as journalist rosie boycott outlined in the financial times her experiences of the
1960s have a lot in common with nicholson's book real freedom belonged to men whether that was to
dominate the political conversation or to hop in and out of bed with whomever they chose safe in
the knowledge that women were at heart unsure and desperate not to appear uncool but however hard i
might have tried to be tough a girl about town putting notches on her belt it never felt right
refusal saw you branded a straight for women it was absolutely grisly the author virginia ironside
tells nicholson i remember the 60s as an endless round of miserable promiscuity it often seemed
easier and believe it or not more polite to sleep with a man than to chuck him out of your flat
i sympathize with that sentiment however horrible it sounds now most tellingly of
all the late writer jenny diskey had this to say in nicholson's book i was raped several times by
men who arrived in my bed and wouldn't take no for an answer but after the sexual revolution
it was too late for people to reconsider the social trajectory i mean that would be
prudish backward too socially conservative and so on and on it went throughout the rest of the 20th
century women struggled to simultaneously maintain many strong but contradictory faces career woman
homemaker mother role model socialite [ __ ] with no idea really where they should fit in
the makeup of an ever-changing society meanwhile men slogged away in the workplace to support women
desperately trying to keep the women they cared about happy but often failing at that because
how do you make women happy when those women they loved were for lack of a better word lost
and under constant pressure from middle class activists to be more and more like men because
after all they could do it so why couldn't other women there's nothing more destructive
than when the notable exception portrays itself as the rule is there and look side note here i'm
only really talking about white women and white feminism here the situation for non-white women
was another thing all together that would be a whole nother video so where has all this led to
well interestingly enough we're seeing the rise of a kind of neo-prudery with the metoo movement
well obviously the movement has been weaponized by man-hating activists with the sole goal of
kneecapping male sexuality it does at least in part indicate a general desire for boundaries
that the feminists of the 1960s largely rejected in fact the notion today from
fourth wave feminists that men should alter their demeanor around women socially rather
than women telling pests to f off is reminiscent of the attitudes from about the 1850s when women
were well and truly considered the weaker sex so to speak there has also been a dramatic rise
in celibacy over the past decade in people 29 and under according to the general social survey
with the most dramatic rise being not among young women but among young men overwhelmed
by the hypersexuality of pop culture and fed up with being portrayed as predators for no other
reason than they are male and heterosexual many young men have just given up they'd rather stay
home and play video games with their friends than risk getting accused of harassment by
unseemingly flirting with a girl at a bar and honestly who could blame them all in all the blame
for the paranoia and confusion about fornication and male female relations nowadays were
squarely on the shoulders of 1960s feminists too blinded by ideology and a thirst to be
recognized and yes good intentions created a monster they set these societal conditions and
then their successors in the third and fourth waves of feminism nowadays have had the goal
to blame the male species for their own feminist movements shortcomings and mistakes unbelievable
