Stefan Molyneux analyzes the complexities of celebrity culture through Emma Watson's remarks on marriage and motherhood, highlighting how societal pressures can equate to violence against women. He discusss the fleeting nature of fame and the financial incentives that encourage female stars to prioritize careers over family, impacting personal happiness. Additionally, Stefan explores the media's portrayal of motherhood, where traditional roles are often marginalized, while unattached personas receive acclaim. He invites reflection on how societal expectations influence women's choices within the realm of fame.

00:00All right, everybody, I hope you're doing well.
00:02It's the fan of all of you from Free Domain,
00:03freedomain.com slash donate.
00:05And for subscribers,
00:07I have created a feed of my new novel, The Solution,
00:10which I hope you will check out.
00:12You'll find it in the donor section.
00:14All right.
00:15So I asked subscribers for questions
00:20and I got a good question.
00:22I did see this article when it came out at the time.
00:25And the question is,
00:28what are we to make of someone like Emma Watson's recent comment
00:32that she considers it almost like violence
00:34or it is violence to ask women to get married
00:40and have children younger.
00:43She's now 34 and she says,
00:46well, or 35, something like that, 34, 35.
00:48And she says, well, I wanted to find myself
00:54to be myself, to whatever, whatever.
00:59And what am I to make of this?
01:02And he went on for sort of more,
01:03but I'm just going to go by that issue.
01:06So there's a couple of important issues in there.
01:08First of all,
01:10because the demand for celebrity is so high
01:13and celebrities are largely disposable,
01:20then celebrities are controllable.
01:21So if you've ever seen,
01:23there was some movie,
01:24it was pretty bad with Michael J. Fox
01:26from many years ago
01:27about everybody being nice to a grandmother
01:31who was dying or was old
01:34and she had a lot of money
01:35to leave to people in her will.
01:38And so everybody was, you know,
01:40desperate to be her best friend
01:42and backstab each other
01:44and all this kind of stuff.
01:46And so when there's a bunch of money floating around,
01:49you get a bunch of control.
01:51I mean, this is the whole point of,
01:53you know, if you want the vote of a certain demographic,
01:56then you just give them what they want, right?
01:59You give them money or benefits
02:02or whatever it is, right?
02:03You just offer them stuff for quote free.
02:06And so you control people who want your money.
02:11Now, of course,
02:12every celebrity feels important, irreplaceable.
02:16And of course, you know,
02:17they're paid a lot of money and that's good.
02:19But, you know, who is it?
02:21Who is it who just died at the age of,
02:25I think it was 79?
02:27Diane Keaton.
02:28Diane Keaton was this quirky,
02:33she played Michael Corleone's wife
02:36in The Godfather.
02:38and she played a lot with her
02:42in Woody Allen movies.
02:45And she played this quirky, ironic smile,
02:49vaguely frightened,
02:50hyper self-conscious kind of woman.
02:53She popularized this sort of dressing half like a man,
02:57defeminization of women.
03:00Like it's a long way from Marilyn Monroe
03:02to Diane Keaton dressing in a tie
03:06and a little waist jacket
03:07and a pantsuit
03:09and just being sort of sexually unavailable.
03:13And she didn't actually have any kids.
03:14She adopted some kids, I think,
03:16and then talked about how motherhood was.
03:18Ah, yeah, it's a whole other topic.
03:20So Diane Keaton, you know,
03:22retired some time ago.
03:23Jack Nicholson hasn't made a film in years.
03:27And, you know,
03:27people are just aging out
03:29of the celebrity conveyor belt
03:33all the time.
03:33Celebrities come along
03:34and then they're famous
03:35sometimes for years,
03:36sometimes for decades.
03:37Robert Redford,
03:38a hyper lefty,
03:39died a couple of weeks ago.
03:42And, you know,
03:43people who are sort of very important, right?
03:45They, I don't even know.
03:48And it's funny, you know,
03:49I've just, just by the by,
03:50I've just kind of lost track of music.
03:52I've lost track of music.
03:53I don't know who's producing new music.
03:55If I want to listen to music,
03:56I'll go to some old sort of
03:58tried and true albums
03:59and singers and songwriters and so on.
04:01And I listened to
04:05Yes's last album,
04:07the band Yes.
04:08It was bad,
04:10boring, derivative.
04:11Although John Anderson's voice
04:13has held up really well,
04:13as a lot of
04:14sort of counter-tenor voices
04:16or high-tenor voices seem to.
04:18I listened to Sting's last album.
04:20It was bad, boring.
04:21I listened to
04:22Paul McCartney's last album.
04:24Also bad, boring.
04:25A lot of the fire
04:27and intensity
04:29and curiosity
04:30and creativity
04:32has gone out of
04:33people as a whole.
04:35I just don't really
04:36keep track of.
04:38I used to love it
04:39when I knew,
04:39I remember when
04:40Mercury Falling was coming out.
04:42I was really keen to listen to it.
04:44It wasn't a great album,
04:44but I was brought to my senses.
04:46It's got a pretty beginning
04:47and so on.
04:49But
04:49people come and go.
04:52Sting was huge
04:53in the 70s and 80s.
04:55I think
04:55the band split up,
04:57the police split up in 1984
04:59and now
05:01Sting is being sued
05:02for the
05:03what
05:04couple of hundred thousand pounds
05:06a year
05:07generated by
05:07Every Breath You Take
05:08because Andy Summers says
05:10he did the guitar lick
05:11and
05:11Stuart Copeland is saying
05:12that he did the
05:13complex drumming
05:14and therefore
05:15there should be
05:16collaborators
05:17or co-songwriters
05:18which would give them access
05:19to a lot of money
05:19including massive amounts
05:21of back pay
05:21and so on.
05:22But Sting sold his catalog
05:23for like 350 million
05:24and
05:26I don't know
05:27what would happen
05:28to that sale
05:28but yeah
05:29so now these guys
05:30are pretty
05:31pretty pathetic
05:32they're in their 70s
05:33right
05:33and they're
05:35bickering about money
05:36from almost half a century ago
05:38it's really
05:38it's really kind of pathetic.
05:41Actually is it in 1984?
05:43Yeah, close to
05:44I mean 44 years
05:45but
05:45you know
05:46they first got together
05:47in the mid 70s
05:49I think.
05:49so celebrities
05:51are coming and going
05:52everybody wants to be
05:53a celebrity
05:53you make a lot of money
05:54you get a lot of attention
05:55it's good for the ego
05:56good for the vanity
05:57and
05:59so because everybody
06:01wants to be a celebrity
06:02it's a kind of paradox
06:04because everybody
06:05wants to be a celebrity
06:06you are kind of
06:08replaceable.
06:10Even the band
06:11Journey
06:12didn't they end up
06:13with some Filipino singer
06:14who won some
06:15Journey singer
06:17sound
06:17sing-along
06:19or sound-alike
06:20kind of contest
06:20and all
06:21and they just
06:21toured with that guy
06:22instead.
06:23So
06:23Emma Watson
06:25is she
06:27irreplaceable?
06:29No
06:29she's not
06:30and of course
06:32every now and then
06:33you'll see a little article
06:34or social media post
06:35which is like
06:36here are all the actors
06:37who were considered
06:38for this role
06:39and it's like
06:40half a dozen
06:41actors and so on
06:42and of course
06:43like you get it
06:44like I mean
06:45when you see
06:46Jack Nicholson
06:48The Shining
06:48it's hard to imagine
06:49anybody else
06:50doing that work
06:52or
06:52his work in
06:53A Few Good Men
06:54and so on
06:55or as good as it gets
06:58you know that kind of stuff
06:58right?
06:59So
06:59noodle salads
07:01just not anyone
07:02in this car
07:03so
07:04you know that
07:06they seem
07:07irreplaceable
07:08but it's not like
07:09the movie industry
07:10ended when Jack Nicholson
07:11retired
07:12or
07:13Diane Keaton
07:14or
07:14Robert Redford
07:15or anything like that
07:17these things didn't end
07:18Nick Nolte
07:19was a big
07:20movie star
07:21and then
07:22last thing I saw him in
07:24was
07:24an adaptation of
07:25Bill Bryson's
07:26book about
07:27A Long Hike
07:28and
07:29he's
07:30he's not quite a
07:31sex symbol anymore
07:32but anyway
07:32whatever happened to
07:34right
07:35there was a
07:35spinal tap
07:36you know
07:36currently residing in
07:37the where are they now
07:38file
07:38so if you're a
07:40celebrity
07:41a couple of things
07:42happen
07:43and the economics
07:43I think are really
07:44important
07:44so
07:45if you're a
07:46celebrity
07:46then
07:48you make people
07:49a lot of money
07:50I mean the people
07:51who hang around
07:52celebrities make
07:52millions and millions
07:53and millions of
07:54dollars right
07:54I'm talking the
07:55the
07:56the touring crew
07:58backup dancers
07:59the agents
08:00the publishers
08:01the record companies
08:03the I mean
08:04honestly
08:04the list just
08:05publicists
08:06they just
08:06they're just
08:06good lawyers
08:07it just goes
08:07on and on
08:08like the people
08:08make millions
08:09and millions
08:10and millions
08:10of dollars
08:11by hanging
08:12around and
08:13floating around
08:13a celebrity
08:14and their goal
08:17is not the
08:18celebrity's happiness
08:19their goal is
08:20to make millions
08:21and millions
08:22and millions
08:22of dollars
08:23off the celebrity
08:24which is why
08:24celebrities
08:25work so hard
08:27because everyone
08:28is telling them
08:29listen
08:29if you don't do
08:31at least two
08:31movies this year
08:32everyone's going to
08:33forget about you
08:34and then they'll
08:34quote all these
08:35people
08:35hey Steve
08:36Gutenberg
08:37all these
08:38people
08:38who just
08:40are gone
08:40and nobody
08:41cares
08:42they're just
08:42gone
08:42so
08:43you got a lot
08:45of people around
08:46you who just
08:46want to keep
08:47you working
08:47like a race
08:49horse
08:49like a dray
08:50horse
08:50and if you're
08:53not making
08:53money
08:53they're not
08:54making money
08:55so they just
08:56want to keep
08:57you working
08:57and one of the
08:58ways they keep
08:59you working
08:59is to remind
09:00you no matter
09:01how important
09:02you feel
09:02you're replaceable
09:03I mean what
09:05was the last
09:05movie that
09:06Sylvester Stallone
09:07was in
09:07I know he's
09:08been in one
09:09because I see
09:09this kind of
09:10boring speech
09:11from time to
09:12time that he
09:13gives to some
09:14younger person
09:14about fighting
09:15and blah blah
09:16blah but I
09:18mean he used
09:18a huge star
09:19now he's
09:19gone
09:20Dolph Lundgren
09:21who a friend
09:22of mine famously
09:23christened
09:25Dolph Lugnitz
09:26but Dolph Lundgren
09:27I mean huge
09:29star
09:29very vivid
09:31right
09:32sorry he wasn't
09:33a huge star
09:33but very vivid
09:34star
09:34very good
09:34looking guy
09:35very athletic
09:35he's been
09:36battling health
09:37issues for
09:37years and I
09:39think he's
09:39in a couple
09:39of movies
09:40or Val
09:42Kilmer
09:42anyway you
09:43understand
09:43go on and
09:44on but these
09:45people who seem
09:46kind of essential
09:47because they're
09:47burned into our
09:48brains well it
09:48could have just
09:49been other
09:49people who were
09:50essential and
09:51burned into our
09:51brains right
09:52so you are
09:55replaceable and
09:56you better keep
09:57working now
09:58because you are
09:59replaceable because
10:02if you're not
10:02replaceable the
10:03project simply
10:03doesn't get
10:04made right
10:04I mean if
10:05you were
10:05irreplaceable and
10:07the project had
10:07to get made you
10:08could command a
10:09hundred million
10:10dollars to make
10:10a film right
10:11I mean if Emma
10:13Watson had not
10:14been available to
10:15star in Disney's
10:16remake of the
10:17animated classic
10:18Beauty and the
10:19Beast like the
10:19live-action
10:20remake if Emma
10:22Watson had not
10:23been available or
10:25had asked for
10:25fifty million
10:26dollars to make
10:27the movie or
10:27something the
10:28movie just wouldn't
10:28have gotten
10:29made so you're
10:30not irreplaceable
10:31even if you are
10:31irreplaceable if
10:33you demand too
10:33much the project
10:34just doesn't
10:35happen just doesn't
10:36get made I mean
10:38Tom Cruise is going
10:38to retire at some
10:40point when his
10:40cyborg body gives
10:41way and you know
10:44somebody else will
10:45come along maybe
10:46they won't be doing
10:47Les Grossman J-Lo
10:48dance moves at some
10:50VMA awards but they
10:52will be doing
10:52somebody will come
10:53along and the
10:54industry won't
10:55won't stop right
10:56Freddie Mercury dies
10:56the music industry
10:57goes on
10:58as Paul Rogers
10:59and then they get
11:01the American Idol
11:03guy and just don't
11:05write any new
11:05songs I don't think
11:06but Adam Lambert
11:08so you don't have
11:10much choice as a
11:12celebrity everyone
11:12thinks that being a
11:13celebrity makes you
11:14brings you freedom
11:15it doesn't it brings
11:15you a bunch of
11:16obsessive people around
11:17you who need you
11:19but can't just lie to
11:21you and say listen I
11:22just need you to work
11:22because I need a
11:23paycheck they have to
11:24lie to you and say
11:24no no it's really
11:25good for your career
11:26no no you really
11:26gotta work no you
11:27just so people are
11:28so easily forgotten
11:29blah blah blah
11:29you know and once
11:30you get out of the
11:31public eye it's almost
11:32impossible to get
11:32back and you gotta
11:33they just lie to you
11:34right just lie
11:35keep keep the keep
11:36the old goose
11:37popping out the
11:38golden eggs
11:38so because you are
11:41replaceable and
11:43everybody wants to be
11:45you and there's this
11:45constant supply of new
11:46talent then you are
11:49pretty easy to control
11:51so if you look at
11:53people like Taylor
11:53Swift or you look at
11:54people like Emma
11:56Watson they have a
11:58bunch of people
11:58around them who
11:59don't want them to
12:00get married and have
12:00kids because tens of
12:04millions of dollars
12:04hundreds of millions
12:05of dollars of economic
12:06activity swirls around
12:07just those two people
12:09over the course of
12:09their careers and that's
12:12sort of the immediate
12:13financial incentive the
12:17more sinister shadowy
12:19geppetto string pulling
12:21incentives are even
12:22worse which is you
12:25know there's lots of
12:25people who don't want
12:26overpopulation right of
12:29certain groups let's
12:30just say that and so
12:32they don't want the
12:33role models of women
12:34being women who give
12:36up their girl boss
12:37stuff in order to have
12:38a lot of babies so
12:40there's a whole
12:41sinister there's the
12:42immediate people who
12:43are making tens of
12:44millions of dollars off
12:45these people and then
12:45there are people who
12:46are more shadowy who
12:48just want to pull all the
12:48strings and so on and
12:50it's hard for men
12:52straight men it's hard
12:55for men to understand
12:56just how susceptible
12:59women are to
13:02imprinting from female
13:03celebs honestly it's
13:05it's a phenomenon that
13:07you know it's like women
13:09feeling overwhelmed
13:10right I'm overwhelmed
13:11it's like men we don't
13:13really get overwhelmed
13:14because we just stop
13:15doing stuff oh I can't
13:16do that much I'll just
13:17stop doing stuff
13:18so we don't really get
13:20overwhelmed but women
13:22have a tough time not
13:24doing stuff and one
13:25every and everything is
13:26kind of equal or higher
13:27priority and everything's
13:28an emergency and so they
13:29get overwhelmed and again
13:32not a complaint it's a
13:34it's a feature not a bug
13:35but it's a fact
13:36nonetheless and for some
13:37reason that perhaps we
13:40could go into another
13:40time so evolutionary
13:41reasons for it but for
13:42some reason women get
13:45incredibly imprinted upon
13:47by female celebrities
13:49which is why you know the
13:50Kardashians were an
13:51absolute disaster for the
13:52west I mean I'm not
13:53kidding about that like an
13:54absolute horrible disaster
13:56for the west so women get
14:00programmed and women say
14:03well I mean Emma Watson's
14:06not having children or married
14:08even and Taylor Swift is a
14:12girl boss and she's having a
14:13great time and and the
14:15Kardashians are fantastically
14:16rich and pretty and blah
14:17blah blah and so it's fine
14:18it's fine it's fine it's like
14:21if you're an actor and like
14:23you're in New York and
14:24you're struggling to get
14:24roles or something if you're
14:25an actor and you've gone
14:27there you know with a couple
14:28of other friends to all
14:29become actors if everyone's
14:31struggling you feel okay if
14:33you know one by one your
14:35friends get really successful
14:36then you're gonna feel worse
14:38as a whole so for a lot of
14:41women childless celebrities
14:44are a buffer that has them
14:47not freak out and if you don't
14:50want women to have babies then
14:54you've got female celebrities
14:56and you will get them to
14:59postpone having babies and
15:00then honestly like a lot of
15:02women's opinions are just pulled
15:04off to celebrities they have
15:05seem to have as little choice
15:08as sort of being dragged
15:09behind a speedboat as a
15:11water skier maybe a bit of
15:12back and forth but you still
15:13got to go the same direction
15:14and again it's hard you know
15:17you see these swifties or
15:21other sort of celeb fetishists
15:23you see them in their 50s or
15:2640s or 30s and they're just
15:28oh it's so emotional they're in
15:31the concert and they're crying
15:32and it's hard for men to
15:35fathom this but it is a
15:37chillingly real phenomenon
15:39i mean i predict that if
15:44taylor swift has a bunch of
15:45babies and is really happy
15:47women will have a bunch of
15:48babies and we'll be pursuing
15:52that if they can all right they
15:53might be too old right it's one
15:55thing to be in your mid 30s and
15:57a slender i don't know i don't
16:00hugely like her look it's too
16:02sour and pouty but you know
16:03whatever an attractive woman
16:04and very rich and so on a lot
16:07of charisma so she she can get
16:09mad and have kids her followers
16:11not so much so there is an
16:15enormous amount of pressure from
16:18both the immediate profiteers and
16:20the shadowy puppet masters for
16:22celebrity females to not have to
16:25not have children and there is a
16:28punishment too so if you are a
16:31female celebrity and you choose
16:33not to have sorry you choose to
16:35get married and have children then
16:37you will be disappeared from the
16:39tabloids unless you serve some
16:42other sort of propaganda purpose but
16:43you will be disappeared nobody will
16:45write about you nobody will call you
16:47you will be unpersoned and you
16:50probably won't be allowed back i mean
16:52there's lots of people again we
16:54don't usually see them directly but
16:56there's lots of people who want to
16:57lower the birth rate and if you are a
17:00celebrity you have a bunch of kids
17:01and you say oh my gosh being a
17:03mother is way better than being
17:04famous they will give you a wish and
17:06they will keep you away from the
17:08public you won't see a bunch of
17:09articles about how happy so-and-so is
17:11because they quit and had kids and
17:13it's way better and blah blah blah you
17:14just won't see it again maybe some
17:16exceptions if you serve some other
17:18propaganda purpose but you will be
17:20kicked out of the club and you will
17:22not be allowed back in so that's the
17:26sort of economics of it as a whole
17:28now outside of the economic stuff
17:33there is the hedonism stuff now i was
17:37really sort of racking my brain ahead of
17:38time i don't know how to communicate
17:42this to men very easily i'll do my best
17:45i'll sort of come up with a couple of
17:47different analogies and so on but men
17:50have a very tough time imagining what
17:55it's like to be an attractive young
17:57woman which you should you should think
18:00about that so that you can understand
18:01women and the pressures and
18:05opportunities that they face or receive
18:08so the only thing that i can sort of
18:10think of is you know the mel brooks line
18:14it's good to be king or you know being
18:16king and and you can have any woman you
18:17want or being a rock star in his prime
18:20and you know you just have to go out
18:22and play some music for an hour and a
18:23half and you get all the drugs and sex
18:26and rock and roll that you want and all
18:28of that sort of stuff right
18:29so if you have that kind of life where
18:35you can
18:35like stuff is just delivered to you on a
18:39silver platter and there's no reality and
18:42you can have anything that you want and
18:43everything that you want is at your
18:45fingertips why would you want to give
18:49that up and settle down why would you
18:52say to steve tyler or i don't know
18:55mick jagger or whoever like why would
18:57you say to them when they are 25 and
19:00you know their careers are just really
19:01cooking saying okay so you got to give
19:04all of this up and stay home and be a
19:06house husband
19:07well that's uh they would say no right
19:12they would say no they'd say no i love
19:13writing music i love touring i love the
19:16groupies
19:17uh all that sort of stuff and so as a man
19:21to imagine being an attractive young
19:23woman imagine being
19:25a rock star and people trying to convince
19:28you to give up touring to stay home
19:30and
19:32wipe diapers and raise babies
19:35it'd be like what now the average
19:38especially the age of social media the
19:40average attractive young woman has the
19:42sexual power of a male rock star
19:45people are constantly offering her men
19:48or maybe mostly men are constantly
19:51offering her free stuff and they're
19:53offering her free trips so they're
19:56offering her dates they want to buy her
19:58stuff they want to send her money and
20:01and that's a lot of fun and it's got
20:05sexual power she gets a lot of dopamine
20:07a lot of addictive chemicals ride around
20:09in her brain because of all of that
20:11stuff and so she has
20:14a real high a literal real high it's
20:18addictive it's addictive men don't
20:22realize
20:23just how many compliments women get like
20:26it would completely short circuit like i
20:29sold this as a teenager right this woman
20:32who was drunk this girl who was drunk when
20:34i was in high school i play it was in
20:35thawnton wild as our town and she was
20:38drunk and she said well you're gorgeous
20:40but you just float with everyone and i
20:43literally hung on to that for like 10
20:45years
20:45you don't know i mean go and look at any
20:48attractive woman's picture on social
20:52media and look at the absolute tsunami
20:57of hyper-praised thirst comments being
20:59posted
21:00underneath those pictures it's
21:03incomprehensible for men to understand
21:07or process how much praise and compliments
21:11women get it is so easy to get addicted to
21:18that men live on an absolute desert of
21:23positive feedback for the most part relative
21:26to the giant hot jungle tsunami of compliments
21:32that are constantly showered upon women
21:34and if you can imagine you are so good at
21:40your job that even when you are not
21:44looking for work you get a hundred emails a
21:48day of people offering you work even part-time
21:52even this even that anything right it is an
21:56unreality that is incomprehensible to men
22:02like that level of unreality is incomprehensible
22:04to men all unreality genuinely is incomprehensible
22:07but it is i mean almost if you've got an
22:10attractive female friend you know just just
22:13look at her inbox look at how she experiences
22:17the world of omnipresent insistent constant
22:22permanent monsoon intrusions of male praise
22:28male offers male desire mayor male dates male
22:33gifts male unfortunately richard picks and
22:36so on right it's uh it's incomprehensible
22:40now if you look at that you look at sort of
22:43daydreaming about you know some guy he's going
22:45to take you the year he's going to take you there he
22:47wants to buy you dinner he wants to you know
22:49take you to the four seasons he wants to like
22:52just take you to you know jamaica for the
22:55weekend like whatever right all of that stuff
22:57is you know it's sexy and it's fun it makes
23:00you feel desired and it's dopamine addictive and
23:02so on and to give all of that up for what
23:07for what unfortunately because of our atomized
23:12society it's not like for women it's like
23:15well all of my friends are getting married and
23:17having children so if i don't get married and
23:19have children i've got nothing in common with
23:21anyone and we have no connection but that's not
23:25how it is now now it's like okay so all of my
23:28friends are out there having fun and there's a sort
23:30of certain momentum to this kind of stuff but all
23:32of my friends are out there having fun and if i get
23:40pregnant get married get pregnant have kids i'm
23:42going to be home alone you know it's not like all of
23:44my my sisters and cousins are all having kids
23:47together and all hanging out together and all
23:49having fun together no it's isolating it's you and a
23:54baby for 10 plus hours a day while your husband is
23:58off at work and you are alone on an empty freaking
24:01street because all the other moms are out there
24:04working or they're not there at all or whatever right so
24:07you know you don't speak the same language or
24:10whatever right so you are alone with a baby and
24:16that's it you often don't even have a church full of
24:19people who are having babies that you can hang out
24:21with and so on right you're alone and it's tough i've
24:26done you know when my wife was uh at a professional
24:30training weekends uh it would just be me and easy when she
24:32was little and it was a lot of fun don't get me wrong it's
24:35not i'm not any big complaint but you're pretty happy when
24:38someone comes home and you can have an adult conversation
24:40and that was just for say three days we're talking years
24:44would you rather be flown for a sexy weekend to a tropical
24:51island where somebody else is paying for
24:54everything and room service and disco and dancing and right
24:57would you rather do that or would you rather wake up three
25:04times a night to a screaming baby and change diapers and
25:08again i'm not i'm not trying to diss or be negative towards
25:11motherhood i'm just saying from the perspective of a young
25:13woman you get all of this fun sexy free and now you also get
25:19status right so in the past it was low status to do this kind
25:22of stuff now it's high status because you know here i am being
25:25flown out and you just see this sort of hairy forearm of some
25:27guy in a private jet again i'm not saying this is every woman's
25:30experience but it's high status you know so-and-so's flying me out
25:33just for the weekend haha lol and oh look at the look at the handbag
25:36he bought me and all the oh i'm so jealous like all the other women are
25:39so great oh you're so lucky i'll show you i mean that's that's catnip man
25:44that is a serious freaking drug now you can't say that you can't say
25:51i prefer having sex in the presidential suite of a five-star
25:58hotel in jamaica rather than change diapers and breastfeed you
26:03can't say that so and again i'm not talking about i
26:07don't know what emma watson's dating history is other
26:10than i heard rumors that she talked about wanting a sensitive guy and
26:13ended up dating the captain of the rugby team anyway i don't know i don't
26:16know what her dating history is so this is nothing to do with emma watson
26:20but you can't say that you can't say i would rather have easy
26:28frivolous sexy and and for a lot of women it's not even directly about the
26:33sex it's about the being desired and being paid for and all of the sexy
26:37power that comes with that so it's not even necessarily about
26:40having sex i mean there are lots of sugar babies who will go out and have
26:43stuff bought for them but they won't have
26:46sex with the guy so i'm not you know i'm just saying it's not all about the sex a
26:50lot of it but not all of it and the simple clear reality is that they
26:57can't say i would rather have men buy me stuff
27:01than have a baby they can't say that because that sounds terrible
27:06and shallow and frivolous and foolish and you know a little tardy to be honest
27:11they can't say that so they have to create something else
27:15that sounds spiritual when that's the fight myself i gotta fight myself
27:19no no you don't uh you look down you're right there you're right there
27:23you're right there so that is something that is you can't you can't compete with
27:29that you can't men cannot compete with the security of the government giving
27:33women money and a man who's offering a woman
27:36motherhood right wife and mother i'm offering you wife
27:42and mother you cannot compete with wealthy guys showering her with offers and
27:48gifts and vacations and handbags and and again it's not necessarily even that
27:52there's sex in return or anything like that but
27:54that is you you can't compete with that because
27:59one is fun and one is a lot of work now of course you can say ah well but uh
28:05it's uh you know it's fun that's worth it's fun that it's difficult but it's
28:09worthwhile and of course it is of course i'm very happy to be a father and all of
28:12that you can say all of that but that's not how young people think
28:15in the same way that you can say to a young woman
28:18well you can go and get a job uh with just a high school education or
28:23what you can do is you can uh you can take out a bunch of debt that's kind of
28:29abstract and then go have a huge amount of fun at college uh partying and
28:33uh having a blast that way and so all of that is uh the sort of
28:40pressure that is there the sort of incentives and
28:44the pressure that is there regarding these
28:48situations so again this is nothing personal to emma watson what do i know
28:52but those are the general pressures that are going on and this is all just
28:56statism so i hope that helps freedomain.com
29:00lots of love from up here my friends i will talk to you soon bye
29:04you
