00:00 We are starting to see the beginnings, just the beginnings of a pandemic that has happened. I'm not talking about Ebola, not talking about COVID, not talking about the Zika virus or West Nile. We're talking about an epidemic of the awfuls, the affluent white urban female liberals. 00:26 they are becoming an epidemic and it's not a good in a good way. Now for this you can actually go out and you can search out and you can find the roots of this all of this women's power with with Gloria Steinem and Cosmopolitan magazine and and women burning their bras to which their husbands went yeah you might want to put that back on. Don't burn all of them you're gonna need those. 00:54 See, they were sold a bill of goods and we've got an epidemic coming of angry older women. Single, angry, emotionally cooked by the feminism fantasy that they were sold. Yep, there is a huge collapse coming, y'all. You see, these modern women, so-called, they got sold a dream. You don't need men. You don't need 01:24 Husbands, you put your career first. Never settle. You just go out there and have fun and do whatever you want to do. And now reality is sinking in. You see, nobody told them that all that attention that they were getting, that's only temporary. That beauty fades, fertility declines, and loneliness 01:53 gets louder every single year. And that's just the cold truth of biology. You see, modern feminism convinced women that they could delay relationships forever. It's like their youth got an automatic software update. They took a gamble and it's not paying off. At 22, these women, had infinite options. 02:21 that all of this attention for men, they were being validated by the media, they were being validated by their jobs, they were being validated everywhere they looked, they were being validated. But at 42, the silence is getting louder, louder than all of those speeches and all of those Ted Talks about empowerment, much louder. The saddest part is that a lot of women are actually realizing all of this too late. 02:51 That career success, that doesn't hug you. Career success doesn't protect you. Career success doesn't build a family with you at night. 03:05 That's a different type of fulfillment. 03:09 Now suddenly they're asking the question, where are all the good men? Where are all the good men? And they're trying to rationalize it by saying, well, men are just intimidated by successful women and dating sucks. Well, that's not the case. The actual case is the good men moved on. The market shifted dramatically and you were no longer a commodity. 03:36 Men warned women for years. Family matters, taking care of yourself matters, peace matters, loyalty matters. But what did modern culture call it? That was misogyny. And anytime a man tried to explain anything, what was that called? It was called mansplaining. 03:58 And now the consequences are speaking louder than ever. The biggest scam ever told to women was convincing them that independence alone could replace love, family, children, and meaningful companionship. 04:19 and now there's a void in their life and they're not happy about it. An entire generation of women was taught to chase ego, attention and temporary empowerment. Then they woke up older, alone, furious and they were angry that reality never really cared about all of those slogans, didn't really care about all of those Ted Talks. They didn't care. So they have to find now, they have to find 04:48 someone or something to lash out at. And that's what they're doing. You ever get into an argument and you realize that what you're arguing about is not really what you're arguing about? All of these women out there that are blaming conservatives, that are blaming Donald Trump, that are spewing all of this, they're not really mad about that. They're just using that as a scapegoat. What they're really mad about is their decisions in life. 05:17 Maybe they did get married, but they put their careers in front ...
