Women Need Men!

Stefan Molyneux

Stefan Molyneux takes on a provocative idea that men lack genuine interest in women, viewing it through the lens of evolution. He makes the case that basic differences between men and women play a key role in building solid relationships and having kids. Along the way, he points out men's natural pull toward attraction and calls out societal pushes to mix up gender roles. Drawing from his own experiences, Molyneux stresses the need to accept those distinct traits to create stronger bonds and keep families intact.

Transcript

00:00Alrighty, alrighty, hello everybody, Stefan Molyneux from Free Domain, hope you're doing well.

00:06So this woman wrote, it really sort of struck me, I think it's a woman, who knows, it's X,

00:11could be rage-baiting from fifth-generation warfare pseudo-cultures. Anyway, she wrote,

00:17most men are gay, they're literally gay, because they don't really like us women.

00:22Our natural bodies, they think it's gross, our interests, they think it's cringe,

00:27spending time with us, they think it's like a responsibility, and if a guy has a girlfriend,

00:30and instead of a date night with her, he genuinely wants to be with the boys, and he feels

00:35it's a punishment that he can't spend time with the boys, he doesn't really like her.

00:39So I genuinely think most men are gay, but they haven't figured it out, because being gay is like

00:43also too feminine for them, and they don't like feminine things. It's got like 6.4 million views,

00:48and so obviously, it's a hot topic. And I have, I have some thoughts, and these are the kinds of

00:58thoughts that could literally save your entire genetic lineage. So please, please to pay attention,

01:07please to pay attention to the staff part. All right. So the thing that is really, really essential

01:14to understand, is that men and women have evolved and are designed for each other, foundationally.

01:22We are designed for each other. We are the most successful pairing in the entire history of the

01:30planet, and perhaps even in the entire universe. And, you know, whatever, whatever, you know,

01:37nature has put together, let not ideology split asunder. And that's really foundational. We are designed

01:50to fit together, to work together, all this kind of beautiful stuff. So how could it be that men

02:01don't like women? Now, it is true that men have a higher sex drive than women. About 70%. About 70

02:15%

02:15of men have a higher sex drive, and so we have higher sex drives. Now, some cynics will say, well,

02:21men have to have higher sex drives to draw them towards women, because women are not particularly

02:27appealing. But I don't think that's the case. I think that the sex drive and aggression and

02:32masculinity is needed because men have to assert their desires and preferences have to go out and

02:42win the woman, because men have to prove their value as providers before women want to go out with

02:47them. And what that means, of course, is that men have to be more assertive, more aggressive,

02:53men have to go out, ask women out, and so on. And that's sort of the first barrier. Like, if

02:58you

02:59can't ask a woman out, then you can't expect her to surrender her womb to your progeny, because she

03:05can't trust that you'll be there to provide. Because if you can't be assertive enough to ask a woman

03:08out, then you can't be assertive enough to go out and win things in the world, right? So that's not

03:16going to happen. So men have to have a higher sex drive, men have to be more aggressive and more

03:20assertive. And that's what works. We have evolved to have optimum sex drives for pair bonding,

03:32raising children, and so on. So that's all perfect. We are the most successful species. Therefore,

03:38we fit together fantastically well as male and female. So one of the biggest psyops that has occurred

03:49over the last century, say century and a half, maybe even a little longer, since mid-late 19th

03:57century, one of the most successful psyops that has happened in the West is to say that men should

04:07be more like women, and women should be more like men. And that was a t-shirt I had when

04:14I was a kid.

04:14Lord knows how it ended up on my skinny little frame. But there was a t-shirt I had when

04:20I was a

04:21kid, which was a boy standing. And it was a cartoon, like a boy standing and a girl standing. And

04:28they

04:28were both looking into their diapers. And the sign said, Vive les Différences. It means celebrate the

04:34difference between males and females. Enjoy and celebrate and prefer the difference between males and

04:40females. And this Vive les Différences. I didn't really understand it at the time. But it is a very

04:50foundational temptation. And it's narcissistic. I never expected girls to be like me. Because if I

04:55wanted girls to be like me, that would make me gay. And I'm not gay. And I wouldn't want a

05:03woman to be like

05:05a man. Because I'm not gay. And this is men in general want women to be like women and not

05:11like

05:12other men. So the big psyop has been to say to men that you should be more like women, you

05:19should be

05:19more thoughtful, you should be more sensitive, you should be more caring, you should be more empathetic,

05:23you should be more considerate, you should care. Like women's stress hormones go up when they see a

05:29cluttered place. Right? I mean, for obvious reasons, right? Which is that if a place is cluttered and

05:34messy, it's dangerous for her children. Because remember, we evolved having to live with bugs and

05:40mice and rats and other sorts of insects that are dangerous and can lay eggs in food and spread disease.

05:48So a cluttered house was repulsive to women. Because of course, it meant that children were more likely

06:01to be bitten to die to write. So so that was you had to keep the place clean and tidy.

06:06And there were

06:07dust mites and and lice and bedbugs and all kinds of things. Like there were all of these women when

06:12I

06:12was a kid, they'd take their carpets out a spring cleaning called to take the carpets out after the

06:17winter. And they would hang them over the clothesline and beat them vigorously to get all the dust out

06:22and so on. Like we evolved without vacuum cleaners and all other kinds of things that now we have. But

06:29of course, in the past, we didn't. And so a revulsion against dirt and a revulsion against clutter and

06:36mess and spills and crumbs and all of these sorts of things. Women, or to put it another way, as

06:42they

06:42usually do, the women who didn't have revulsion to those things, tended to have children with a

06:49lower rate of survivability rate, a lower rate of survivability, and she herself might get an

06:54infection and so on, right? Because in the past, if there was food left under the refuse, then it

07:01would attract bugs and spread germs, and there was mold. And so whereas men would generally spend their

07:08time out of doors hunting and farming and fishing and all kinds of stuff. And so men have not developed

07:16quite as visceral a revulsion to mess and clutter and crumbs and so on, right? And then it's, again,

07:25it's perfect. And sorry, when I said women's cortisol levels spike when they come into a messy area,

07:32it's true. Like women will often say, I can't relax while the place is messy. I can't even think

07:36straight when the place is messy. And I understand that. I don't particularly mind clutter, but I do

07:44recognize that my wife doesn't like it, and I think she's right. I do like being able to find things,

07:48and so I will keep my clutter to a minimum or contained within my studio, and so on, right?

07:55So saying to men, you need to be as concerned with housework as women is saying to men, you have

08:03to be

08:03like women. You know, this thing where women get mad, you know, this typical sort of cliched stuff,

08:12and it's kind of a real thing, that women tend to get mad at men who forget things like, you

08:19know,

08:19anniversaries and maybe even birthdays and so on. Well, that's because we're men. Women who get mad

08:27because their husband doesn't know all the names of their children's teachers, or what grade they're

08:35in, or who all their best friends are, what the name of their pediatrician is, and the address,

08:40and so on. And it's like, well, that's because we are not females, right? Women remember this stuff.

08:50I think it's great that they do. I think it's lovely that they do. I'm happy that they do,

08:54and I think it's wonderful, but men don't do that kind of stuff. We don't remember those kinds of

08:59things. I mean, my wife has this amazing ability to say, oh, it's so-and-so's kids, blah, blah, blah,

09:07blah, some celebration, some anniversary, some this, that, and the other. She just remembers all of

09:10these things, whereas I don't, right? And on the other hand, whenever we go hiking,

09:19I always know the way back. Like, I always know the way. And it's partly because I spent a lot

09:24of

09:24time in the woods working as a gold-panner prospector, but also I just have this instinct

09:29for these things. Women know where things are in the house because women were home organizers,

09:37and men were not. So we know where things are in the woods. Like, every time we go hiking,

09:43and we go hiking pretty long aways and places every time we go hiking,

09:47I am always aware of where we are and know exactly how to get back. It's just an instinct.

09:54Whereas my wife knows where everything is in the house, and it's a wonderful instinct. I don't expect

10:02her to be like me in the woods, and she doesn't expect me to be like her in the house,

10:11right? Because

10:11men were hunters, so you constantly, as a man, when you're out in the woods, you're just unconsciously,

10:17or maybe even consciously, you're just noting everything. You're noting like, oh, there's this

10:23tree, there's this gully, there's this particular patch of sky, or whatever it is, right? There's

10:29this log, there's little bookmarks and so on, little landmarks. And that's what you navigate by.

10:36And it's an unconscious process. And it's needed, of course, because we'd be out hunting or fighting

10:42or whatever it is. Or even, you know, you have to go and find your lost cow. And so you

10:48go and find

10:48the lost cow, and then you come back. So we're different. She knows everything that's going on

10:56in the home. I know everything that's going on outside the home. This is why there's this

10:59traditional thing that women take care of stuff inside the home, and men take care of things

11:05outside the home. So this is PSYOP. And the PSYOP is very conscious, and it's very hostile to the

11:12birth rate and to general flourishing and human happiness. And the PSYOP appeals to the great

11:18enemy of justice, unfairness. It's unfair, right? So you go to a woman who's home and taking care of

11:26the house and raising the kids, and you go to her and you say, your husband should do more housework,

11:33right? It's unfair that you do all this housework. And then she says, it's unfair that I do all of

11:43this housework. And then she says, you need to do more housework. And then either the man says yes,

11:49or he says no. It's kind of a shit test, right? Now, if the man says, no, I'm not doing

11:56more

11:57housework. I'm out working my ass off 10, 11, 12 hours a day. So no, I am not doing more

12:06housework

12:07unless you want to start doing more wage work. And then she feels that she's not being listened to,

12:15and he's unfair, and he's a patriarch, and all of this kind of stuff, right? There is a show

12:23by Judd Apatow called Freaks and Geeks, which came out, I don't know, like 25 years ago or something

12:30like that. And in it, there's a teenager, Lindsay, her name is, and she has two parents. Her father is

12:39a

12:39very hard worker. He runs a sporting goods store, and he works, you know, 10, 12 hours a day. Now,

12:48his wife is a stay-at-home mother, and her kids are both in school, and she has a pretty

12:56sweet life.

12:58I mean, she obviously doesn't have to work. She doesn't have to have an income. She's not homeschooling,

13:03and so on, right? So her husband is working 10, 12 hours a day running his store, I assume at

13:09least

13:10six days a week, maybe more. So he's working very hard. His wife has a pretty sweet gig of being

13:17a mother of two teenagers who are out at school all day, and then out with friends and bicycling and

13:26things like that all night. And the parents end up reading Lindsay's diary. And Lindsay in her diary

13:37basically makes a joke about how her father has a fear that his penis will fall off if he offers

13:46to

13:46help with the dishes. And the father, of course, says at one point, no, I'm not helping with the

13:51dishes. I work 10 to 12 hours a day. I'm not coming home to do housework.

13:56And rather than say, vive la différence, I don't want my husband to be a female and be

14:02as concerned about the home. I don't want my husband to be a female. The wife gets annoyed.

14:09And then she says, well, maybe I should just go back to school, huh? Maybe I'll go get a job,

14:14right? This is sort of typical leftist subversive stuff, right? Which is to say to women,

14:21you are being hard done by because your husband does not do the housework that you do. And that's

14:30unfair. And of course, this is a conflict I had with a woman in my 20s. I was working 12

14:36hours a

14:37day, five, six days a week. And she said, you got to do half the housework. And I said, I

14:42absolutely

14:43don't. And I won't, because I'm paying all the bills. And she, you know, she's kind of seething

14:49at that. But I'm like, no, I'm not, I'm not doing that. I'm not being a woman. And also, like,

14:56I would

14:56just be embarrassed, honestly, like, this is just a mindset that I couldn't conceive of, that if

15:03someone was paying all my bills, and all I had to do was an hour or two of housework, I

15:08mean,

15:09she was so lazy, that we ended up dropping off our laundry and having it done at the dry cleaners

15:17for

15:17us, because she was above that sort of thing. And to me, like, when I was a teen, actually earlier

15:25on,

15:25but when I was a teen, there was a wonderful family I spent time with. And they co-owned a

15:32cottage with another family, and they would invite me up to the cottage. And I was incredibly grateful

15:39for this, a chance to get out of the city, a chance to be out in nature, they had dirt

15:42bikes,

15:42they had snowmobiles, that was just a fantastic place to be. And I would always say, is there any

15:50work that I can do while I'm up here? Because I also enjoy physical labor. I have so much in

15:54my head,

15:55and up in my head, I enjoy physical labor, quite a bit. I remember when I was in Africa,

15:59and we were going through the bush, I managed to wrangle one of the machetes from the bush cutters.

16:07And I got to cut some bush, which I was thrilled at. I was excited. It was great. And so

16:12I remember

16:14I would spend a couple of hours up there on the weekend, chopping wood, loved it. Love chopping wood.

16:21It's great. Satisfying. And we had to move an entire outhouse, which was stinky and vile.

16:28I remember at another cottage I was at with a different family, I dug a well, which was crazy

16:34hot and buggy. But because I'm being invited up, I want to feel like I'm being of utility. So I

16:40do

16:40physical, hard, manual, challenging labor. And I'm thrilled about it. Because also, you know,

16:47driving me up and all of that, right? So the idea that somebody would be paying

16:52all my bills, and I would then have that person come home tired from 12 hours of work and say,

16:59you've got to do the dishes, or here's a bunch of laundry for you to do. That's really something.

17:05That to me is, it's incomprehensible to me. Because I would be so grateful at that person paying all the

17:11bills that I'd be like, hey, man, what can I do to make your time at home fantastic, because I'm

17:16so

17:16grateful. But what you do is you, as a SIOP, it goes that you take people's gratitude away, right? You

17:24make them ungrateful, unappreciative. So the SIOP is men need to be more like women. And what women do

17:34naturally and well, that men don't do naturally and well, is a deficiency on the part of men.

17:42Which is lunatic. Male brains and female brains are as differentiated biologically as male and female

17:48reproductive organs. So women have their strengths, men have their strengths. And you say, well, what

17:56women do well and men don't do well is deficiency. And what men do well and women don't do well

18:03is

18:04toxic. So men know how to deal with bad men. Because we grew up often with bad men, with bad

18:13boys, like

18:13with bullies and difficult males. And so good men know how to deal with bad men. And you can see

18:21this

18:21sort of playing out in the deportation stuff that's going on in America under Trump. And

18:28you can see that, you know, the criminals, the rapists, the, you know, murderers, and so on,

18:35that they're trying to deport them. And the women are blocking it because the women feel bad. In another

18:41show called The Lincoln Lawyer, there's a sort of perky pixie-like blonde woman who's just become a new

18:50attorney. And Mickey Haller has a driver, this black fellow, who's out on bail where he's not allowed

18:58to hang out with gang members. And of course, he's not allowed to have a weapon and so on. And

19:05he's

19:06caught with an unregistered firearm in his vehicle. And his parole officer is scouring social media and

19:14finds a picture of him with gang members at a party. And rather than say, well, you have an

19:22unregistered gun, and you're hanging out with gang members, both of which are a violation of your

19:27parole. So you're going back to jail. She's like, oh, so sympathetic. And he tells her this story that

19:32he was just at a kid's birthday party, and the other gang members showed up, and I'm getting my

19:36tattoos removed. And, you know, you're the one who told me I had to protect Mickey, so I had to

19:40get

19:40this gun. And she's just like, oh, oh, sympathy, sympathy, sorrow, sorrow, right? And it's still

19:46crazy stuff. It's crazy stuff. So men know how to deal with bad men, and women should stop talking

19:55and let us do it, right? This is the Bukele in El Salvador, just locks up a bunch of people,

20:01and the crime rate or the murder rate drops like 90, 95 percent. And, you know, this is the three

20:07strikes, and you're out. I remember many years ago, I think it was Leslie Stahl, the vile person.

20:14She was on 60 Minutes, and this poor black guy was going to jail for the rest of his life

20:19for just

20:19stealing a single slice of pizza. Oh, it's so unjust. It's so terrible. It's so bad. It's so wrong.

20:26Well, it was his third strike. So, and they give sympathetic to the guy. I got kids, man. You know,

20:33it's just terrible, right? It's just the sympathy crap that women fall for, and then complain that

20:38they don't feel safe, man. So men are better at dealing with violence and crime than women are.

20:44And women should defer to men in this area. There's stuff that women are better at that men should

20:48defer to. So the SIOP, of course, is saying to men, you are defective women, that female women are

21:00wonderful. It's a war. It's a very recognized phenomenon in psychological testing where there's

21:07a massive bias towards women. So there's all of this women are wonderful stuff. And the female is

21:15the ideal, which for those in power, it is because women choose security over freedom. And so the state

21:22offers security. It doesn't provide it, but women will trade their freedoms away for that, which is why

21:28women want old age pensions in the welfare state rather than private property rights and a meritocracy

21:33in the free market as a whole. So men are told you should be more like women. And of course,

21:42you get

21:42this in school these days all the time, that women look, and you all heard this when you were a

21:46kid,

21:46right? Oh, look at Emily. Be like, you should be like Emily. She's sitting so nicely. Boys, don't be so

21:53loud. The girls are sitting so nicely. This female teacher is exasperated at the wild energy of the

21:58boys and saying, you should basically shut up, sit down and be inert like the girls. From the male

22:04perspective, it seems that way, right? So boys are told that they are broken girls. And in order to be

22:11good, they have to be girls in order to be good and nice, right? Sugar and spice and all things

22:19nice

22:19are the girls. Snips and snails and puppy dog tails are the boys. And it's a wretched, wretched

22:26perspective. But it undermines masculinity, which allows for government expansion to continue without

22:35much resistance. And the girls are told that they need to be more like boys, which is why you see

22:43all

22:43of this endless nonsense about, you know, the 98 pound girl taking on the six 200 pound guys and

22:51winning, right? The sidilicious butt kicking that you see in shows like Alias and the alien movies and

22:58so on, that girls can kick butt just like boys. And this is the Sheryl Sandberg leaning in. Yeah,

23:06there's a pattern where she's like, you got to go out and sleep around and experiment and explore your

23:11sexuality and like basically be promiscuous. So be like boys. And, you know, a man who thumps the

23:19table is assertive. A woman who thumps the table is just being bitchy, you know, and you got to be

23:23out there and you got to be assertive and you got to take what's yours and you got to be

23:26a riot girl

23:27and a tank girl and a GRRL girl. I don't give a damn about a bad reputation, right? You got

23:36to be a

23:36own jet. And you can tear your fishneck stockings and get tattoos and snarl and snarl and I don't

23:43know what the word snarl is, but it's something like snarl and girl. And you can be a boss babe

23:48and

23:48a tough bitch and hard and harsh and dominant and right all this kind of crap, right? And it fries

23:57people's entire attraction mechanism and they can't pair bond because men are designed to pair bond with

24:05the feminine and women are designed to pair bond with the masculine. But when you tell men to be

24:11women and you tell women to be men, pair bonding fails, which is why marriages are failing, relationships

24:18are failing, situationships are there. Women won't commit. And of course, the real truth comes out in

24:24women's romance novels. Women's romance novels are not about a feminine guy who just wants to listen

24:34to all of her problems without providing solutions and runs an NGO and doesn't make much money and is

24:39physically weak, right? That's not what, right? It's like semen bull milking farm or whatever the hell

24:45it is and, you know, violent psychopaths and vampires. Because vampires are cool for women because

24:53vampires offer up sexuality and money and they're, well, they offer sexiness and money, but without

25:00the woman having to provide children, right? It's lazy. It's lazy. So when this woman on the X tweet says,

25:09you know, I don't think that men like women. It's like, no, we love women. We are totally,

25:15like, men are total soft touches for feminine women. But the real power of the female is being female,

25:23not being like a man. Because if the woman is aggressive and the woman is dominant, the woman is bossy

25:31and the woman is entitled and the woman is blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, then the man will not be

25:37attracted

25:37to her. So when this woman says, I don't think that men like women. It's like, no, no, we love

25:44women.

25:44That's what we're entirely designed to love for, provide for, support and nurture and protect

25:50women. That's what we're absolutely designed from the freaking ground up. From the soles of our feet

25:56to the tops of our thinning hair, we are designed to worship, adore, love and protect women. But

26:03there's a catch. You have to be female. You have to be feminine for this to work. In order for

26:11the

26:11penis to work in that spot, there has to be a vagina there. Otherwise, it doesn't work. It just bumps

26:17up

26:17against the closed harbor. And vive la différence is to say, yeah, we're different and it's fun and

26:23it's cool and it works well together. So when this woman says that men don't like women, men like women,

26:31men love women. Because men have to be designed to pair bond very well. Because men have reproductive

26:39options that vastly outstrip women's reproductive options. And so a man who doesn't pair bond and

26:47doesn't really love and attach to his wife, to the mother of his children, when she gets to 40 to

26:5445

26:54and he's 40 to 45, he will just abandon her and go start a new family. Right? He has that

27:04option.

27:05He can just go start a new family. He's got lots of resources. His sperm is still healthy and viable.

27:10He can go and pick up at 40, some 20-year-old young woman and start a whole new family.

27:16But he doesn't.

27:18Because men attach. Men pair bond. But men pair bond to women. Sorry to be annoying. Sorry to be me,

27:27me, me, me. But men pair bond to women. Not to women trying to be men. Which is kind of

27:35an odd

27:35thing for a heterosexual woman to try to be a man is an odd thing. I'm not talking about lesbian

27:41or gay

27:42or anything like that. I'm just talking about straight men and straight women. For a straight

27:46man to be or to have as his goal or his ideal to be more like a woman will make

27:53the woman unhappy.

27:54And it has been very clear that the evidence is in the day. I'm not saying this stuff out of

27:59my

27:59armpit. The evidence is in the data is clear. That as men have done more and more housework,

28:08women are less and less happy. Because a straight woman doesn't want a man who's like a woman. And

28:15a straight man doesn't want a woman who's like a man. And the psyop has been to say to women,

28:20be like men, to say to men, be like women. And to provoke, and the target is largely women,

28:26to provoke a sense of unfairness. That if your man is not like you, you're being taken advantage

28:34of. Like this wonderful phrase, unpaid labor. Women's unpaid labor. Look at all the unpaid labor.

28:41It's like, unless you're living in the woods, on nothing is not unpaid. Right? I'm sure that

28:47the woman I knew in my 20s was listening to a bunch of, reading a bunch of feminist stuff.

28:53And she was like, well, look at all this unpaid labor. And it's like, but it is paid,

28:58because I'm paying the bills. It is paid. And so, if a woman feels like she can be a man,

29:07then she doesn't need a man. Right? This is the classic feminist trope, which is,

29:12well, you see this on X as well, or other social media. Say, well, the reason that your grandmother

29:19stayed with your grandfather was she was economically trapped and had no options.

29:24Or another way of putting it is she was, she trusted your grandfather and surrendered to his

29:32care. Right? So, what they say to women, these subversive people, what they say to women

29:43is, you've got to have your own income, honey, because if he decides to leave you, or he gets

29:48bored, or he has an affair, or whatever, then you're going to be out on your ass with nothing.

29:55You've got to keep working. You've got to keep your education. I've got to keep your resume.

29:57You can't just stay home. So, they say that it's not that you trust your husband and respect and care

30:06about him and know that he's going to provide for you. And, you know, you could say, but you could

30:11die, or he gets sick. But that's what disability insurance and life insurance is for. So, that's not

30:17what we're talking about here. So, worrying about income and finances, worrying about income is a

30:26thing. And telling women, well, you need to have your own source of income so that you can be like

30:31a

30:31man. You can have the security of a man. Well, that just means that she's less feminine, less female.

30:40Right? And saying to a man, you need to do half the housework is saying to him, you need to

30:47be female.

30:48Right? If you were sensitive and thoughtful and remembered people's birthdays and couldn't stand

30:53a mess and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, then everything would be great. Right? And then,

31:02women find themselves responding less to men because a woman wants a man to be a man and a man

31:10wants a woman to be a woman. Embrace your femininity. Embrace your masculinity. We are a fantastic team

31:16when we work together. And just the idea that you need to become the other sex, well, it's not

31:24possible. Men and women's brains are different. A man, again, talk about straight men, straight women,

31:32blah, blah, blah. A man cannot inhabit a woman's brain. All he can be is less masculine. If I say,

31:44well, I'm going to stop speaking English, I'm going to learn some language that's fundamentally impossible

31:48for me to learn. I don't end up speaking that other language. I'm no longer speaking my own

31:53language. I just end up kind of mute. I don't speak English anymore. I can't really learn this

31:58new language well at all. So, I just end up with a sharply reduced vocabulary and unable to express

32:04myself. I have diminished. And that's bad. And a woman who tries to become, you know, mentally,

32:12a straight woman who tries to become mentally a man, she can't become a man mentally because her

32:18brain is different. And again, I know that there's a widespread of these kinds of things. I'm

32:22really just talking about the averages. So, all she can become is less feminine. She can't become

32:26masculine. All she can become is less feminine. And then women who, like this woman, says, well,

32:34men just want to spend time with other men. And it's like, but men who are straight,

32:41sure, we enjoy our male friendship. So, we want to spend time with men. But we want to spend time

32:46with people who are authentically themselves. And our male friends are authentically themselves. But

32:51a lot of the females in our life are trying to mentally become men. And they just become less

32:57themselves. And that's kind of exhausting. It's kind of exhausting to be around people who are trying

33:03to be something that they can't be. So, I hope that makes sense. And, you know, really resist this

33:08eye up. Relaxing into the feminine, which is beautiful, and asserting the masculine, which

33:13is wonderful, is really so essential to maintaining this kind of pair bod. So, I hope this all makes

33:21sense. I love you guys for your support of the show, freedomain.com slash donate. To help out the

33:27show, really, really would appreciate it. Have yourself a beautiful evening, my friends. Lots of love.

33:31I'll talk to you soon. Bye.
