Okay, thank you for the call. I don't know. Look, I wrote a lot about this in, in my book, and I get it because I Hear from single women all the time. To be fair, some of you are in your 80s. I bet when you were in your 20s, women were complaining that there were no good men around. Like, I have some fun here. I guarantee you guys finished storming the beaches of Normandy fighting Nazis, and they came back to the United States, and women were like, there's just no good men around. And the. And the soldier, I just killed Hitler with my bare hands. I was fighting the Nazis all over France, all over Germany. And I come back to the United States and all the girls back in the States are like, there's just no good men. We can't. They just beat the Nazis. They're the greatest generation of all time. All right, so I do think there probably have always been women complaining that there aren't enough good men. I don't hear that many men complain that there aren't enough good women. Has that been a trend for a long time? I think that the sexes are different now because a lot of guys are afraid of approaching girls. This is like the Bill Ackman thing that we talked about last week. May I speak to you? I. Or may I meet you? I think was what he said. I think because people live on their phone so much, I think a lot of guys out there, and I got three boys, so I certainly understand this world. I think a lot of guys get on their phone and they send like 60 dms to girls on Instagram and just wait to see who's going to bite. And I think that girls are used to being chased. And I think men have never had it easier than right now. In fact, and I write about this in the book. If you went back in time to 1962 and you told a single guy in 1962, right? Some of you out there listening were in fact single in 1962. If you said, hey, in the future, in 2025, guys are going to be able to have sex with almost no commitment. You're not even going to have to take girls out to dinner. You're going to be able to just get on your phone, which now is mobile, and. And you're going to be able to send a message to 60 different girls. You up where you at now, not even using basic grammatical correctness, and you are going to be able to have abundant women respond to that, and you are going to be able to have completely no strings attached sex with many of them. Would that be a world that single men in 1962 had wanted, or a world in 1962 that single women had wanted? My point here, I think a lot of women, through the guise of female empowerment, have actually ended up signing up for what every single man in the 1960s would have dreamed of. Unlimited buffet of sex, limited commitment, almost no restrictions for male sexual appetite at all. Is that really women's empowerment? If men get everything they ever wanted as single men and it's being sold to women as, go girl. This is your world now, girl boss era. I don't really blame men. I mean, I. Men are getting. It's really funny. It's really funny. And I'm trying to address it in a comedic way because I know some of the women out there are like, crying, and some of you have daughters and granddaughters, and you're like, hello. And they're probably going to clip this and they're going to, you know, they're going to come after me. But you remember the era of shotgun weddings. People are like, oh, you know that guy, he got her pregnant and dad showed up with a shotgun and now they're getting married. And people are like, boy, you know, it's good that we moved on from that. You know, the concept of a shotgun marriage was if you get a woman pregnant, you have an obligation to help raise the child, even potentially marrying the woman, and the dad's going to show up and he's going to shoot you if you don't do it. Because you numb nuts, you put yourself in this position, and we're not just going to make a woman raise a baby by herself and. And let the guy run off into the world and not have to deal with the responsibilities or obligations that he's helped to create. That was like 1950s, 1960s, men had real obligations. And we've created this world where women have been convinced that all of their choices actually fulfill every male fantasy from the 1960s and certainly the 1940s and 1930s. You don't even have to buy a girl a meal. All you gotta do is send a drunk Instagram dm and girls are just chasing boys. Is it any wonder that people aren't coming together because girls are being sold and hey, you should have masculine sex drive. And men are like, why would I? Why would I? Why would I step away from the buffet? I've got unlimited options with virtually no commitment. That doesn't seem like an ideal world to women. Now, again, this is going into the biology. It doesn't add up, right, Women, sorry, if you need to share this Clay Travis does Birds and the bees. You can clip it and share it with your kids. Women have A limited number of eggs that they produce in their lifetime. They should be selective in who they choose to reproduce with because they have a limited number of children that they could produce in their life. Men were like a machine gun, just firing off in every direction. Men like, go, look at what gay dudes do. When I was in college, they had a huge scandal on campus because one of the bathrooms, gay dudes just were showing up and banging each other like crazy in there. That doesn't happen in the women's bathroom. There's never been a scandal on a college campus ever where it's like, hey, a bunch of chicks are showing up in a bathroom and just going to town on each other. It doesn't ha, by the way, make movies about that. They tend to do pretty well because men like the idea. The sexes are very different. Men are often stupid. They don't want to commit. They want to fire off in every direction. You tell a guy there's an orgy in a bathroom, a bunch of dudes are showing up. Chicks aren't. All right, what if you went back in time when Playboy magazine was first created, when Hugh Hefner was like, hey, I got this idea. Marilyn Monroe, take your top off. Men are going to buy this magazine like crazy. He was right. 1950s, 1960s, the sexual revolution that was created actually is just every male fantasy fulfilled. And women have signed on to it thinking that it's the girl boss era. And guess what? A lot of you are looking around like, hey, this is not actually that great for us. Men see us as disposable. They won't commit to us, and as a result, everybody's angry. And by the way, it doesn't actually work that well for most guys because most guys don't have a cornucopia of options. The rich guys do, the tall guys do, the good looking guys do, the quarterbacks do, the. But the guys that are further down on the flowchart, they can't find a girl because the girls all want the exact same guy. I actually disagree with the caller. I think men have lower standards for women than. Than women do for men. Does that make sense? I think there's always a guy who will be attracted to a girl. I think that most women want the same thing. Not to say they won't settle. Heck, I've been married for 20 years. I don't think my wife got the greatest draw of all time, let's be honest. But most women, they're like, I want a guy who's six foot tall. I want a Guy with hair. I want a guy who makes six figures. Right? Most women desire the same thing. Why do they want that? Stability, security. It actually makes sense biologically. Right? A 5 foot 2, 120 pound dude. Sorry, who's bald? Sorry if that's you right now. I'm not trying to take a personal shot at you. Most women are not. That's the man that I want to spend the rest of my life with. Most. There's some, maybe, hopefully. Anyway, there is my solution to the world. Just think about it. I don't hear very many people point it out, but what has been sold as female empowerment is actually every man's sexual Fantasy from the 1950s and 1960s in real life today. And don't even get me started on, you know, these guys go to college campuses now for tailgates. Look at old guys, girls running around, what they're wearing on campus. They can't even believe that this world exists. It really is a buffet for single men with no actually restrictions on their behavior at all. And it's not a surprise to me that a lot of women are looking around and saying, wait a minute, is this, is this actually a good spot? Why can we not get a man to commit? Because he's got a phone in his hand and he can text 60 girls simultaneously and one of them is going to respond. The buffet is always open. And it's not actually that beneficial for most young women. That's my theory. Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe I'm an old guy. I got no idea. I wrote about it some in the book. But in all seriousness, I do think, sit around and think about it because ultimately, if people are not having kids, if men and women are not coming together and they're not happy, then we're in a really tough spot. And that's what you're seeing is the number of kids in America is plummeting. And by the way, left wing chicks who were the most into women's empowerment, none of them are having kids. It's like the crazy Afton Bane chick. She even looks down on people who get married. You want to save some money? Pure talks. Great way to save some money.
