Key Moments

00:07:00
Key Moment33-year-old virgin Lauren discusses her complete lack of in-person sexual attraction. Never been on a date, never had a crush in real life, never experienced attraction sufficient to pursue anyone. In 33 years, not one person has triggered pursuit. Only celebrity she finds attractive: Paul Walker.

I've never I've never dated never really been interested in dating... not even a crush in high school

00:09:16
QuoteLauren describes herself as "somewhere on the asexual spectrum" but avoids the label due to it being "taken over by the woke mob."

I think I'm somewhere on that spectrum... I hesitate to use the word asexual... it's been kind of taken over by the woke mob

00:14:38
Key MomentLauren says she would rather die a virgin than settle, even at 45. Brian challenges whether she is waiting for a unicorn that does not exist.

I would rather die a virgin than be with the wrong person... it could be are you would you be let's say you're like 45

00:18:59
QuoteLauren states she would rather die a virgin than be with the wrong person.

I would rather die a virgin than be with the wrong person like 100% rather rather die a virgin 100%

00:26:09
Key MomentGreta reveals she contracted chlamydia from a married couple she met via Tinder (her friend found them). The couple denied it afterward. Greta found out via regular STI testing.

they were great the chyia not so great... they denied it even after I told them but it was fine they were

00:34:41
Key MomentGreta reveals she had 5 threesomes by age 18. Brian is visibly surprised and confirms the count.

five five threesoms MH and but was it each one was like with a different group of people yes

00:34:55
Key MomentGreta describes the smoke shop mix-up: drunk at the beach, met a guy's brother (Billy) instead of the intended contact (Bobby), hooked up with Billy, then Billy left her stranded in a different city.

I walked up to his brother which was not him... I proceeded to have some fun with his brother... he left me at the he left me in a different city on the side of the road

01:01:40
Key MomentSienna describes her abusive ex-relationship (2018-2020): he gave her silent treatment when she declined sex, cheated by texting another girl, made her pay for everything, restricted her clothing, and made misogynistic comments about assault victims.

he would like expect sex... he'd be like I'm a horny little like teenage boy what do you expect... he would call you names he wouldn't let you go outside and shorts or a tank top

03:26:38
QuoteParisa states that the body count double standard is misogynistic — that sex should weigh equally regardless of gender.

I think it's misogynistic to say that like there's a difference between the weight that a woman's body count holds and a man's body count

05:08:28
QuoteSteve says he wishes he could go back and be a virgin, seeing his married brother's life as a model.

I wish I could go back and be a virgin I really do... I see how my brother my brother just had a baby he's married he's having a lovely life

05:10:17
QuoteBrian lists 15+ systematic disadvantages men face in the workplace (dangerous jobs, overtime, commute, etc.) in response to the wage gap discussion.

there's the trades gap there's the dangerous jobs gap 97 something like 97% of workplace deaths are men... more likely to die on the job gap more likely to be electrocuted to death gap

05:28:06
Key MomentGreta reveals her sugar daddy story: her sister's former sugar daddy found her via Venmo, first messaged when she was 15 (ignored), then at 17 (ghosted), resumed contact after 18; sent approximately $3,000 total.

he found me cuz he was my sister's sugar daddy... he hit me up at 15 I didn't respond to him until I was no 17... he's still your sugar daddy how much... probably like three grand

05:30:31
Key MomentSienna describes a sugar daddy who became creepy: referred to his genitals as "bulging," sent an unsolicited photo, she stopped contact. Received approximately $350 total.

he would refer to his like dick as a bulge and he'd be like I'm bulging I'm bulging... he sent me a picture of his dick and it was 14 in long

00:07:00
Lauren's Virginity and Asexual Spectrum Identity

Extended segment on Lauren's 33-year virginity.

Discussion of her connection-only requirement, divorced parents, college at U of Southern Maine. Steve and others react with disbelief. Lauren describes wanting only a long-term relationship (no marriage, no kids), not actively seeking, in her "let go and let God era."

00:23:20
Greta's Threesome History and Dating Stories

Brian reads Greta's pre-show notes. 5 threesomes at 18 — details of each. Married couple on Tinder gave her chlamydia.

00:43:20
Chivalry, Traditional Dating, and Men Paying

Debate over whether men should pay for dates and practice chivalry. Greta: men should open doors and buy flowers. Brian: romantic gestures should be contingent on women moving traditionally/exclusively. Courtney: men create the environment; women shouldn't have to prove themselves first. Extended debate over whether current dating marketplace makes traditional gestures by men irrational.

01:01:00
Sienna's Abusive Relationship

Brian reads Sienna's pre-show notes. 2018-2020 relationship: emotionally and physically abusive boyfriend.

Discussion of sex withholding dynamics in relationships.

01:03:20
Sex Expectations in Committed Relationships

Debate: should partners feel obligated to fulfill each other sexually? Brian argues dead bedrooms indicate incompatibility; men should be able to leave if sexually unfulfilled.

Steve shares Miami situationship story: both gave silent treatment when declining sex.

01:26:40
Social Media and Going Out in Relationships

Discussion of whether women in relationships should post revealing photos online or go out partying frequently. Brian: women should keep some modesty in photos when in a committed relationship. Courtney: posting does not imply infidelity. Steve: women at clubs/bars create vulnerability situations. Debate over control vs. trust.

02:06:00

Extended debate on wage gap: Parisa says it exists, Brian says it's been debunked. Discussion of women's occupational choices, hazardous work gaps, work-life balance differences. Brian lists 15+ "gaps" men face (dangerous jobs, overtime, commute, etc.).

02:42:00
Body Count Discussion

Key-in-lock theory debate. Brian argues high body count is undesirable in both sexes but especially in women due to attachment. Parisa: body count double standard is misogynistic.

03:49:09
Brian Atlasremove sex from this conversation are there any behaviors that someone can engage in where you feel like it might be justified to call the person gross yes but we're not allowed to talk
03:49:21
Brian Atlasabout them so okay well I think I know what you're trying to say but what
03:49:28
Brian AtlasI'm if I ate worms for living that's gross huh what like if you eat worms for a living like that's gross yeah but I'm thinking of like PG

03:50:03
Gretayou don't do this because I just think that's personally rude but like if we're talking about that yeah I think it's I wouldn't have sex with six people I wouldn't not take a shower for six days cuz it's gross but I would tell the
03:50:16
Brian Atlasperson but I'm not sure exactly why you're making this argument because he said that six of night is gross it's not clear to me he could be addressing the behavior and he's not necessarily saying
03:50:27
Brian Atlasand I'm agre I'm just saying that I'm making a point that I'm not saying the person isoss me personally though I I will take it a step further and say the IND on the individual level that
03:50:38
Brian Atlasindividual is gross that is gross behavior and by proxy you are a gross person if you engage in Gross Behavior you're that makes you
03:50:52
Gretagross I still personally call you have if you have mult gross things that a person can do I just personally would

Juliagoing to pay if I'm not I have and we settled on 50/50 and I was a little a little little bit like you it was like a little turnoff for you I wouldn't say a

Brian Atlaspaying are you able to scoot him to the table like that way just a little more um okay so I asked you do you think Communications is important I asked who here faked an orgasm I asked about this whole perspect what didn't you guys say
03:55:57
Brian Atlasthose of you who like okay with the fake orgasm thing isn't that bad communication yeah yeah like that's you
03:56:07
Julianot communicating that's you your you you can fix that by like telling them what to do I guess but it's on you I mean it's on you there's a few reasons why you fake an orgasm you fake an
03:56:20
Juliaorgasm because you want it to end and you just want to quick like all right let's get this over with you fake an orgasm because you want him to feel cuz you did enjoy it so okay and you want him to feel good about his performance
03:56:32
Juliabecause it was good and it and he should feel good about it but you know if if he's really going to give you an orgasm y'all are going to have to be there for 30 more minutes and no one has time for that and you want to go to bed so like is it that difficult to make you
03:56:43
Juliaclimax I think for most women for women yeah it's pretty I mean like it's got to be rip for you guys okay so yeah sorry sorry about that and that because so in
03:56:55
Juliathat in that scenario you're actually yeah you're you're communicating well because you're trying to reinforce his behavior you want that behavior to continue that's I think
03:57:06
Brian Atlasthat's a no you're smart bro thank you that's so wait you want to reinforce what Behavior exactly you he did a good job good job boy not good he
03:57:17
Juliadid a good job look it's job I think it's hard for for um for the other partner to make a woman orgasm cons it's hard I mean it's it's like a
03:57:31
Juliait's like erroneous they're just not doing it right I'm sorry I know I know every woman you've been with you every time I know but um I think honestly most
03:57:40
Brian Atlaswomen I'm I'm with I'm not trying to gas myself up or I can most of the women I've been with I can make them come really y oh well what's the percentage
03:57:51
Brian Atlasit's 80 90% I'd say I feel that how do but I actually make an effort like I make an effort to do it you're a giver what how do you know if they weren't lying you know you can you I mean look
03:58:03
Brian Atlassome women can be very convincing but like there's I mean there's different orgasm responses from between different women
03:58:13
Stevebut if she's faking the leg convulsing then like props on her she got it she got or the the okay anyways okay okay okay what whatever
03:58:24
Brian Atlaswhatever there's guys do it's they do great and it feels fun okay getting away from like the that whole thing I guess what I'm trying to The Impossible the
03:58:35
Brian Atlasclitoris is the Rubik's cube of the okay huh not impossible rare not it's rare from haven't you had like long-term boyfriends and they're they struggle to get you
03:58:46
Juliaoff rip do you want me to be obviously um yeah he made I orgasmed like once maybe twice there might have been a with all your boyfriends um I
03:58:58
Juliawith okay no I've only ever orgasmed with one man and was it one time one time for sure and then I think there were two or three there were there was two one to
03:59:09
Juliatwo other times that it I was like I think it could be you but you but there was only one time when I was like that's the I just want to go to bed no one talked to me like I was like I'm that was amazing I just can sleep I didn't
03:59:22
Brian Atlascare about his satis I'm sorry that sounds selfish but I was like wait he knocked me out question how many so there's only one guy who's ever made you come mhm and he only made you come a
03:59:32
Juliacouple times mhm how many times have you had sex total total hundreds thousands I don't think thousand I we had sex quite
03:59:44
Juliaa bit he and I oh my God I hope my mom doesn't watch this um this is so embarrassing we were frequently intimate
03:59:53
Juliaand um hundreds of I mean I I would say I have a very I have a very high sex drive I had a higher sex drive than he did and and yeah but I didn't mind I mean
04:00:06
Brian Atlaslike I it's okay no that's fine I mean some for some women some women have difficulty orgasming um well I wouldn't say that because there's other ways but
04:00:16
Brian Atlaswith another person wait with another person like with another with a in my case guy it's You' said you've said that you've there's only one guy who's ever made you come and he was only able to do
04:00:27
Brian Atlasit like once or a couple times I know look if I if I need to get the job done I can do it really fast which might be the problem that might be the well there's a couple problems so okay when when it comes back to you guys saying well men are poor
04:00:40
Brian Atlascommunicators I think I forgot the answers for all of you a fair amount of you said that you faked orgasms that's poor communication now in response to what you were saying about you didn't
04:00:51
Brian Atlasask if you thought I was a bad Communicator well I mean there's a totality of different factors that would lead to an overall rating of poor or bad communicator but when it comes I mean
04:01:03
Brian Atlasthe fact that you were faking orgasms though probably was has led to some degree to you not climaxing with Partners well I mean he knew that like you could ask him he would say I he knew
04:01:15
Juliayou were faking or come three times maybe yeah he thinks three I think he thinks three yeah but you also said you faked orgasms would you fake orgasms every time you had sex no no no no but why would you why would you I'm confused
04:01:28
Juliathose one or two time well first there how many times have you faked an orgasm I well I mean like when it was not with the other like the early days okay okay we're talking like n you know 18
04:01:40
Juliayears old it was and I had the one col you know the one college that I that he didn't do anything so might as well been dead fish but
04:01:52
Brian Atlasum yeah you asked me if I faked orgasm so the the one or two that I'm like I think maybe I don't know I mean but if so if you're here's the thing if you're
04:02:01
Brian Atlasdating a guy and you're not coming and you can come by yourself sure yeah sex still feels even for men even if we don't it feels
04:02:11
Brian Atlasto you know like that's great but wouldn't it be better if you did come I guess I suppose but that just seems like a big when is it ever a bad
04:02:21
Brian Atlasthing to orgasm but okay um okay yes okay fine but but it is I mean you are you'll have women who are claiming to be sexually dissatisfied in
04:02:32
Brian Atlasrelationships yet they're faking orgasms which doesn't you're not communicating with your partner that you're not climaxing that doesn't give the man the opportunity to improve we aren't mind
04:02:43
Brian Atlasreaders some women their orgasm response is like very specific and it it can require a lot sometimes there's a lack of communication there I
04:02:55
Brian Atlasmean I think as a guy if you can get it organically if you can make her come organically great but if you can't if you can't look I think women
04:03:06
Brian Atlasshould should communicate about it I think also it's fine if a guy says hey so what do you like you like a little faster slower pressure do you like um
04:03:17
Julialeft right up down what do you you know what do you like um well you know I love this podcast because I learn things every time Brian so trust me that one's going in the books it but but
04:03:28
Brian Atlaslike if you fake orgasms he's going to think that he's getting the job done but he's not so you should and I think it's a terrible one in addition to just how that's going to negatively
04:03:40
Brian Atlasimpact your pleasure on the sexual front you're just you're lying to the guy well I was I will say I was very happy with our sex life other than other than the DraStic guilt I felt every time I had
04:03:53
Courtney Ferrissex happy with your sex life but you were frequently faking your orgasm is that because he was a bad Communicator you didn't feel comfortable communicating with him no I felt super
04:04:01
Brian Atlascomfortable no no I I could have I just wanted to I just okay I don't know but you're saying but
04:04:13
Brian AtlasI get that you like you want to cuz obviously for us men like if we can make our girl come that's a turn on for us like that's
04:04:25
Brian Atlasawesome we've 100% it's a turn on for us it's great but I think you're kind of almost trying to cheat that by faking an orgasm but that I feel like I'm sitting down the guy and saying hey you're ready to sit down for a 4-Hour project cuz
04:04:36
Brian Atlasthat's what it's about to be you know hours to come I'm not saying I don't know when you're alone how long does it take yourself to make yourself come you said it takes my what a couple minutes
04:04:47
Brian Atlasyeah so there is probably some granted like a guy is probably never going to have your body figured out as good as you but there's probably certain things that he could do and maybe that if it if
04:05:00
Brian Atlasit is really that difficult to get you to climax maybe introducing toys into the bedroom okay okay I don't know but
04:05:09
Stevefaking orgasms that's just a l I think yeah don't do that don't lie to me for me and and you said the same thing we're going to be asking or guys should
04:05:20
Stevebe asking what do you like say say the words what do you like she's going to tell you and if if not then she's going to fake an orgasm and she's like okay I'm not I'm not down with this I don't
04:05:31
Madisonlike anymore I have a question Steve why did why did you fake an orgasm oh no like I just want to know like why would a guy fake an orgasm
04:05:41
Stevebecause I wasn't going to come and it had been going yet I was not going to come and I think I was getting soft and I was not feeling I was not feeling anymore I
04:05:52
Brian Atlaswas tired it's like 4:00 a.m. I'm trying to go to bed okay and she already came so it's Works done allegedly allegedly we have in the future I'm just going to
04:06:04
Brian Atlasfake the war guys wait we have something from you the dating app thing let's pull up the dating app oh no image uh My Love Languages telling me
04:06:13
Juliathe event starts 10 minutes earlier than it actually does Julia facts so what what do you mean by this um I have many qu I have many
04:06:24
Juliastrengths but one of them that one of my maybe areas of improvement would
04:06:33
Juliabe like I I'm a horrible judge of how long it takes to do things which might might account for the 4our uh orgasm I'm
04:06:43
Juliajust I'm I just I'll think something will take me like um 15 minutes and it takes me 2 hours and so you're late is what you're saying men can be late I would say more generally it's like I
04:06:55
Julialiterally suck at judging how long things take but that sometimes can result in me being late which I'm sure you're going to say is a huge con I mean
04:07:04
Juliabut you're a grown adult time management is like basic adulting exactly so I've learned to get through it but I'm just saying if you really love me the best thing you can do for me is like tell me
04:07:16
Julialike just say like hey it starts 15 minutes early no the the best thing that a partner could do for you is be on time is is tell you you're an adult get your [ __ ]
04:07:27
Brian Atlastogether if you're I'm going to tell you to be on time be here at this time you should be there on time you're an adult you have agency I know I made it here on
04:07:37
Juliatime I'm sure but it seems on time but are you talking just within your romantic well it's more Brian it's more
04:07:47
Juliathat there's like this I I get places on time but because of that misjudgment I'm like rushing a little and it's a little stressful so it would be like I would be less stressed if I actually if I had an
04:08:00
Courtney Ferrisadditional 15 minutes that I didn't know I had you know what I mean so that's why I say it's just tongue and cheek it's not even that hard to do really ask your partner 15 minutes it's just cute ask
04:08:12
Juliafor those of us who are gifted with time management who in my opinion are literally the superheroes of the world you know be friendly to is that is that really some person sounds like me
04:08:24
Brian Atlashaving to deal with a toddler does it oh yeah like okay here let me let me accommodate your your lack
04:08:35
Brian Atlasof what's the right word you're asking someone to accommodate your lack of I guess courtesy when it comes to timeliness by having to
04:08:47
Juliaconstantly tell someone to meet you earlier than the actual plan is I don't know yeah I suppose if you want to read it the worst possible way you can read it that's what you would get so okay
04:08:58
Brian Atlasthanks but it's I don't think it's like no guys like cuz this is on your dating app profile right like don't on the dating app don't you want to like put your best foot forward and like try to paint yourself in like a good way and
04:09:11
Juliayou basically saying by the way I'm going to I'm not punctual I is that cute first of all it gets a lot it gets a lot of obviously it's not cute to you um it gets a lot of
04:09:23
Brian Atlasresponses a lot of guys tolerate a lot of [ __ ] when it comes to dating but yeah lack of punctuality and disrespecting my time yeah that's I think that's not a good thing okay well you want to hear the things I bring to
04:09:35
Juliathe table because just because I might like that's great struggle slightly with that that doesn't negate all these other like great qualities that I offer and I think being honest about something
04:09:45
Juliathat's like a legitimate I mean that you're legit not naturally good at like time management is a thing that people are naturally good at like I have a great job I've got two degrees like do you think if I'm
04:09:58
Brian Atlasreally that bad at time management and that discourteous that people would that like I don't can't tell time of course I can but so I I mean are you joking about the fact that you're late because either
04:10:09
Juliayou're you're punctual or you're not punctual or I'm joking and as it relates to I absolutely do not expect my partner
04:10:17
Brian Atlasto carry me around like as a toddler as you so endearingly said um absolutely if I say something if I need you ready at 5:00 p.m. I'm to me that's like
04:10:29
Brian Atlasinfantilizing you that I need to tell you in each instance oh 4:45 instead of 5:00 p.m. how about you just be on time guess what no one has ever taken me up we already like an old married couple
04:10:42
Juliawe're already bickering about okay go ahead no well no cuz you would refuse anyways refuse what you would refuse to tell me that the you would you would say I'm an infant and then we'd be late cuz we'd probably get to Big discussion
04:10:54
Brian Atlasabout it no it's that deep so wait you think this this would this this is my bad this would fall on me if if I was like no I'm not going to play your
04:11:04
Brian Atlaslittle game of me having to tell you to get be ready by an earlier time because you're you lack the adult functioning to be ready on
04:11:14
Brian Atlastime sorry I just really don't think anybody reads into it as much as you are right now but but well I can say from my experience when it comes to First Dates I'm on time and I'd say 80% of the time
04:11:27
Brian Atlaswith First Dates women are at least 10 to 15 minutes late so for you guys you don't care because men will tolerate your tardiness but for me I think it's disrespectful to be late on a first date because that's a first impression and
04:11:40
Brian Atlasyou're already late okay well that's just your type of women not women I always try to be punctual for dates I think it's rude to be 15 minutes late to a first date especially if you don't let the person know that you're going to be
04:11:52
Brian Atlaslate oh especially you offer up an apology but I get it most and hey that's another thing that's wrong with Society people don't stick to their commitments if I say like I don't know
04:12:04
Brian Atlasso are you think you would swipe left on me you saw that that would be a little like all my I get that you're trying to be cutesy
04:12:15
Brian Atlasbut like I don't know I don't think it's like oh haha my life is just so like I'm so I'm in the I'm in the clouds my life's a mess haha it's so cute no I'd be like okay I told you I'm an
04:12:27
Brian Atlasauthoritarian single you think that's why I'm still single that one no I don't think that's I don't think that's why you're single um that's probably very low on the totem pole of things that men care about but for me punctuality is
04:12:40
Juliaimportant with a girl I know guess who else cares about that my job my boss and I'm not able to I know I know guys don't care about jobs but I I am obviously
04:12:51
Juliaable to be punctual in my entire life okay but if you want to know what comes naturally time management doesn't so you should see how many alarms I set in the morning I literally I have like aund
04:13:02
Brian Atlasalarms it's better to have a partner that understands you what you need I'm pretty on time judge you for it no it's better to just level up in all the ways that you can well if I did I would be perfect and that would be intimidating
04:13:13
Brian Atlasfor too many people being being punctual doesn't mean that you can't have other flaws and other Realms and dimensions but I think just it's basic adulting I don't I don't want to have to in the
04:13:26
Brian Atlassame way that a lot of you hear from a lot of women oh I don't want to have to like mother a guy I don't want to have to like be his mom I see so for me you want you want men that are self
04:13:38
Brian Atlasself-sufficient we don't want to have to baby you okay babe I'm going to lie and tell you something starts 15 minutes before it actually does so you're on time how about you just if I tell you
04:13:49
Brian Atlasplans at 5: or we have to leave at 5:00 p.m. be ready to leave at 5:00 p.m. simple yeah don't make me have to every time we have a plan be ready at 4:45 I'm

TTS Readerand say hey I need like 30 minutes extra okay thank you just have some common sense and be more mindful of other people's time you know if we were on Tik Tok
04:14:23
Juliathere's a there's a thing that they call a gosh what is it it's like you have to do you will you take accountability for they they they say it's like a disability they'll say will you be
04:14:34
Brian Atlasaccountable for my um time management issues or something there's a video it's wild but word here we're going to move on from that we had a chat and I forgot to get back to this and we get we'll get
04:14:45
Brian Atlasinto a couple of your things we had the chat from Seven Deadly Sims about the the whole feminist thing um you guys considered some of you consider yourselves feminist you said that inequalities and then there you're
04:14:58
Brian Atlasfeminist because there's inequalities between men and women you said that uh you're a feminist because women are discriminated against um so to hear from you first what are some of the
04:15:09
Parisainequalities that you're talking about I think uh a lot of the inequalities today I mean we can look at something more recent like for example like roie Wade being overturned like women now don't
04:15:21
Parisaeven have the right to control what they do with their own body and the government is telling them but like something like that would never be instilled for like a man or like you can look at the pay Gap like there's a very
04:15:32
Parisaobvious pay Gap a woman and a man can do the same job and like most times a man is going to be paid a lot better like there's just still a lot of inequalities
04:15:42
Brian Atlasand I think that feminism aims to uh like get rid of these things so that's why i' consider myself feminist I mean the so okay there's a couple things
04:15:52
Parisathere the wage gap's been debunked there is not there's no wage Gap I mean I would say that there is still like commonly like you would see like Studies have shown that there is a wage Gap in a
04:16:04
Parisalot of job is that what your liberal professors tell you at barbar City College um I've just seen things like rhetoric and literature that has proven that point if you've seen other probably conducted by feminists that are trying
04:16:16
Brian Atlasto they've already arrived at their conclusion I mean what would you say about Roby way then that I'll adjust that well you you said that you're feminist because of inequality between men and
04:16:28
Brian Atlaswomen now I don't really want to get into a discussion about abortion but what I would say is is that the abortion discussion has very
04:16:38
Brian Atlaslittle to do with equality between men and women because men don't have an abortion right men don't have Reproductive Rights so you you could
04:16:49
Brian Atlasactually argue because men don't have I mean this is getting a little bit very specific but I could make the argument
04:16:59
Brian Atlasthat equality between men and women on the abortion topic would be women in no women in the United States can get an abortion that would make it equal
04:17:11
Brian Atlasbetween men and women because a man has no Reproductive Rights when it comes to abortion I'm not I'm not really interested in having an abortion debate
04:17:22
Brian Atlasright now especially because it's n it's we don't have much time left but I don't think the abortion rights thing has really anything to do with equality
04:17:33
Parisabetween the Sexes well I understand what you're saying in the sense that like men do not have like the whole like Reproductive Rights thing but I'm just saying equality in the sense of like um having an equal right to control what
04:17:46
Parisayou do with your body having an equal right that the law is not telling you what you can and cannot do um I just think well oh well come to think of it
04:17:55
Brian Atlasactually um it's it's difficult because obviously men don't get pregnant so you know it's just like a biological reality
04:18:03
Brian Atlaswhat I will tell you though is when it comes to the government and your body um so this right here Nick if you can
04:18:14
Brian Atlasswitch it to this camera this is a draft registration card uh now don't mind the colors the bright colors right if I skip
04:18:24
Brian Atlasto this page here so this is a draft registration card that only men in this country have to sign it's called the I don't know if you're familiar with the Selective Service System so when it comes to men having control of their
04:18:36
Brian Atlasbodies in the event of a war bear in mind we uh what's going on in Ukraine bear in mind what's going on in in the Middle East right now uh this idea that
04:18:47
Brian Atlasmen have control of their bodies it's actually not entirely true in the event of a draft men would be forced to go into the trenches into the front lines and they wouldn't have a choice when it
04:18:59
Brian Atlascomes to that now you don't see feminists in the streets really advocating for an equalization of the draft or getting rid of the selective service system or getting rid of male military conscription and I think that
04:19:12
Parisathat is a problem with a lot of like modern day feminism is that it doesn't focus on equalizing things and it has I I'd say I have seen a shift especially on like social media where feminism has
04:19:24
Parisaturned into kind of like I don't know more so elevating one gender over the other or like trying to like point out differences but I think that it is
04:19:35
Parisaimportant for feminism to also focus on like these these differences or like these problems that occur for men too I would not say that that is something that it should not tackle right sure
04:19:50
Brian Atlasum I guess I'm just again I'm it's I it's not going to be productive to have a conversation on abortion but um again I've just failed
04:20:01
Brian Atlasto see when it comes to INE inequality so typically when you think of inequality it would be something like some right or privilege that men have
04:20:12
Brian Atlasthat women don't but because men don't have any abortion rights because they can't have children I don't think it's an it's a woman's rights issue but I don't think
04:20:24
Parisait's a inequality issue I I just personally see it as that because I see it as an unequal sense of control over your body
04:20:36
Parisabecause although like the wraft like you bring that up which is is a great point and I do think that that is a like that does need to be addressed I think that this the lack of control that not
04:20:47
Parisaallowing abortion gives to woman is very very different than that because like in the event of a war like that's a lot less likely than like a woman needing an abortion for like any reason I think
04:20:59
Parisathat there like the case of a woman needing an abortion is a lot more like common just well for for like right now I mean like if you count like what's going on in Ukraine obviously but like
04:21:11
ParisaI'm just saying it's not it's not like every single year that there's a new war happening I mean we are I would argue that Europe's been at War for years but there hasn't been a draft in 50 years
04:21:23
Brian Atlasthere's no okay but there are men that would in the Vietnam War there are men that would still be I see Madison there are men that would still be alive today had they not been drafted there are men
04:21:36
Brian Atlasthat are um there are men excuse me there are men that that died that would still be alive today had they not been drafted there
04:21:45
Brian Atlasare men that are alive today that were drafted that are dealing with severe like either they they were casualty of War so they had an
04:21:55
Siennainjury um PTSD um don't you think um women get PTSD from having a baby they don't want to have Yeah but
04:22:05
Brian AtlasI are you really comparing getting an abortion to the PTSD that soldiers experience in from war well you're comparing an abortion to
04:22:17
Brian Atlasthe draft I would I would argue that throughout human history male military conscription is a is a bigger gender grievance than certainly AB the abortion
04:22:28
Stevegrievance since the beginning of time it has always been men go to war women stay home and take care of the family and kids yeah it's bad say we're not saying it's not bad but
04:22:38
Brian Atlasit's not like it's not the same so are you saying that forced male military conscription is not as bad as some women in some states bad I'm not
04:22:50
Parisasaying it's not bad no but that's she saying that it's not necessarily comparable which I do kind of see because it's like it's not necessarily talking about like the same type of like
04:23:01
Parisaright to do something because one of them is saying like in the event that like there is a war like men will be drafted which obviously is still like a lack of control but the other is saying like in your day-to-day life like you
04:23:13
Parisawill not have the ability to do this like because like we're not giving you the right like it's it's different I see what you're saying well what I would say is while currently here in the United
04:23:24
Brian AtlasStates there hasn't been a draft in a long time every single male in this country once they turn 18 they have to register with the selective service so
04:23:33
Brian Atlasthat's a that's a just a gender a biased gender requirement that men have to do that women don't granted it's rather easy to register however as a man
04:23:46
Brian Atlasif you don't register technically it's a felony you can be imprisoned for up to five I I don't want to misquote it's either I it's either five or 10 years I think it's probably five years you can
04:23:55
Brian Atlasget a fine of $250,000 um if you don't register for the Selective Service hold on it says it here let me read it uh I'm going to read
04:24:06
Brian Atlasit just cuz I don't want to misquote anything uh okay um let's see hold on what happens if I
04:24:18
Brian Atlasdon't register not registering is a felony young men convicted a failure to register may be fined up to $250,000 imprisoned for up to 5 years or both in addition to being subject to
04:24:28
Brian Atlasprosecution failure to register may cause you to permanently forfeit eligibility for certain benefits Federal many state laws require regist uh registration age men to be registered
04:24:41
Brian Atlaswith Selective Service to remain eligible for applying for the following benefits so as a guy if you don't register for the Selective Service it might bar you for life from receiving Student Financial Aid certain government

04:25:16
TTS Readerwith so if you get pregnant they will stay around and and be good Fathers in any case I don't really want to thank you ninjas smoke for the comment um we it's kind of getting away if we get into
04:25:28
Brian Atlasan abortion discussion it gets away from things but I'm trying to it stemms from the inequality discussion so
04:25:39
Brian Atlasum I think you're talking you're making a bodily autonomy argument and you saying well men in the United States they it's unequal because women don't
04:25:49
Brian Atlashave an abortion right and there's no coresponding there's no corresponding thing that could take away a man's bodily autonomy but that's actually quite literally not true because we have
04:26:01
Brian Atlasmale only conscription in this country so if there's a draft only men would be conscripted and their bodily autonomy would quite literally be taken away from them they'd be forced to go to somewhere they don't want to go they'd be forced
04:26:15
Steveto go to war they'd be forced to fight they'd potentially be forced to die I I think that that's worse than not having the right to an abortion and in
04:26:25
Stevethe in the event of a draft it's not will they die people will die a lot of people die this isn't World War II this is 2023 what never it's going to be bad
04:26:38
Brian Atlaswomen die during child birth though too that is true what if wait I have a I have a question sorry go ahead go ahead maybe I can't say that I I think I know
04:26:48
Brian Atlaswhat you're saying yeah um okay my question to you let me ask you guys this what would your what would you say to a guy let's say there's just some [ __ ] boy out there and he was
04:27:02
Brian Atlasjust he was just sleeping with a bunch of girls and he get he gets a girl pregnant and he's like oh [ __ ] man and she wants to keep the kid right what would you say to him like what what
04:27:12
Brian Atlaswould you tell him like and he doesn't want to have the kid what would you tell him get ready for child support child support would you maybe would you maybe
04:27:25
Brian Atlastell him hey if you didn't want to be in this situation maybe you shouldn't have had sex would you tell him
04:27:33
Parisathat maybe tell him to use a condom but oh okay but what would you tell him like tough luck I don't know I feel like at that point there's not much you can do
04:27:44
Parisaas the man because you're not the one like bearing the child right we have zero Reproductive Rights um uh have to agree but would you just tell tell them to suck it
04:27:55
Parisaup I mean at that point it's either like you discuss it with the girl and you try and like come to an agreement I don't know or like you can't do she wants to she wants to keep the kid and she's going to come after she's definitely
04:28:07
Brian Atlasgoing to come after you for child support what do you tell the guy I mean there's nothing he can do then you tell him what do you tell him though there's nothing you can do like you have to pay the child support tough luck right you
04:28:19
Parisashouldn't have done that right see we only hold men accountable for their bad decisions but I wouldn't say you shouldn't have done that though I just say like that is the result of an action
04:28:31
Parisathat like was taken I don't think that the same thing can be right so men have no reprodu Ive rights so there is no inequality I'm not I mean it's not necessarily like I don't think like that
04:28:42
Parisaplays into it in the way that like you're seeing it play into it cuz I don't think that like it has anything to do with the fact that like just because I don't know I just don't think that
04:28:53
Brian Atlassituation holds relevance to like but I guess what it's what's interesting is when for example if a woman wanted to get an abortion and if we were to tell that woman you should have just kept
04:29:05
Brian Atlasyour legs closed a lot of people would be very offended by that comment and say well women should still have an option and whereas if a man gets a girl
04:29:16
Brian Atlaspregnant suck it up tough enjoy 18 years of child support you have no say as a guy you have you have no option he may not have a say but like how many deadbeat fathers are out there that like
04:29:29
Brian Atlasdon't pay their child support don't show up for their child or their baby mama yeah and then if they if they don't pay their child support they they get thrown in prison actually the we we abolished debtor prisons hundreds of years ago
04:29:41
Brian Atlasbecause we realized that putting people in prison for debt for not paying fines or for debt is uh I don't know is bad
04:29:52
Brian Atlasbut the only thing the only the only way that you can go to jail for not paying a fine or not paying a debt is through child support that's so basically men are
04:30:04
Juliaexposable men are viewed we are the wage slaves of society that's it but do you think there could be anything to do with the fact I mean so you've made this point before that men can impregnate multiple women
04:30:16
Juliaand women can only get pregnant pregnant by once every six once every nine months so do you think that could have a reason why there's no like if there was legislation that gave men more rights
04:30:28
Juliathe fact that they're able to exercise that more like it just could get more complicated I'm just curious wait um I I don't know what it would look like but
04:30:39
JuliaI'm just I just I wonder if there's that could play into why women are granted more rights legally in this sense and if it has to do with the fact
04:30:50
Juliathat men can get more women pregnant like like it just seems like it would be a nightmare whereas a woman can only get pregnant by one guy at one time and then it's for 9 months or I guess she could
04:31:01
Brian Atlasabort it and then do you know what I'm saying like no but she saying that there's that there's a bunch of even though like if uh a guy gets a girl pregnant there are
04:31:13
Brian Atlasa lot of guys that aren't going to pay child support they're going to be dead beat dads right um and um sorry it's getting late my
04:31:25
Brian Atlasbrain fuel is running out um but my counter to that is well there are consequences as a guy if you are a dead beat dad and if the woman wants to pursue it you're you can get thrown in
04:31:37
Brian Atlasif you don't pay child support that you can go to jail for that yeah so and again we we abolished debtor prisons long long time ago but the only
04:31:49
Brian Atlasthe only thing where you can still go to prison for not paying some sort of fine or something is when it comes to child support and that typically that's like
04:31:58
Brian Atlas97% n it's over 90% of child support goes from men to women so but it's interesting when when men don't want to
04:32:08
Brian Atlasstep up to the plate when men don't want to be fathers when men aren't in a financial position or don't want to financially contribute they're called
04:32:17
Brian Atlasdeadbeat dads but when women want to get abortions that like you go that is that's really interesting against the man's wishes cuz that happens the women
04:32:29
Brian Atlasare called empowered no but men are called Dead beats and but so men always have to have accountability but women you have you have an out just get an abortion you're
04:32:43
Julianot C if you're a woman who gets why don't we allow abortions why don't we allow it then if it's we do we do allow AB didn't it just made it a state issue
04:32:52
Juliawhich is you could say imagine if the draft was def federalized so it became a state's issue and certain States could choose if they have a draft or not then it would be more comparable comparison
04:33:04
Brian Atlasbut I would say like both not to get into politics but like both people on the left and the right politically would say that a guy who's like not paying child supporter isn't in his in that kid's life is a Deb
04:33:17
Brian Atlasfather and certainly like people if you're Republican or conservative you're obviously very critical of abortion however uh like it's interesting that
04:33:29
Brian Atlasthere's only there's this pressure on men on both sides if you're a dead beat dad because you're not you're not financially ready or you're not financially in a position to support a kid but that's a totally valid reason
04:33:41
Brian Atlasfor a woman to get an abortion I just think that's interesting it is interesting it's an interesting thought um okay and then do you have any
04:33:51
Brian Atlasother things when it comes to the inequality what other ways come on I know you got more P Parisa did I say sorry if I'm saying your name wrong my bad PRI is good um honestly no I just
04:34:03
Parisathink it comes down to like I don't know like my stance on like the whole feminism thing is just I think that historically there have also just been a lot of issues and I think that there are
04:34:15
Parisajust a lot of like remnants of issues in terms of like I don't know like the power struggle and also just like the power Dynamic and I think that what do you mean by power Dynamic I just feel
04:34:26
Parisalike our society although we've come like along way there is still like a sense of like power that we give to men that like women almost cannot get or
04:34:37
Parisalike there's a sense of like ease that comes with um a lot of opportunities that it just seems like men get in comparison and I just feel like I don't know it's I just feel like there's
04:34:50
TTS Readerthere's things that are uneven that feminism would address such as what oh hold on sorry Bender the offender donated $99 sometimes the mother won't even see
04:35:01
Brian Atlashis child and he is called a dead beat for it yeah that's messed up that's true um and then sometimes the mother will try to turn the kid against the father and I mean some of these situations can
04:35:12
Brian Atlasget very messy and very toxic um you were saying power dynamics like men women give men a lot of power or
04:35:23
Parisasomething no I just feel like the way that our society is placed it's just like I don't know like a lot of power is given to men and also just like what do
04:35:34
Parisayou mean I mean which men are given power I mean I just feel like a lot of times I don't know just like politically speaking you can look at like a lot of like our house and like our Senate like
04:35:45
Parisait's largely been mail-based and I feel like a lot of the opinions that are are are like dominating these like parts of our government are largely like male
04:35:57
Parisacentered opinions and I just feel like I don't know like we've never had a female president we it's legal now like for Wom to become presidents but like we still haven't had that like the the level of
04:36:09
Parisalike power that a woman has been given although it's like said to be the same it's not like in reality it's not necessarily like acted out but do you think power should be given or should
04:36:20
Parisapower be something that's earned I mean I think it has been earned I just think that the way that our society is like structured it hasn't been like properly given where it has been earned I mean
04:36:31
Brian AtlasHillary Clinton has been the uh has been a presidential candidate was it two two separate El against Obama
04:36:40
Steveand then against Trump she was so close um she didn't win um but that's up to an election that's that's against the population voting nothing's put in place
04:36:53
Brian AtlasI mean so you're you're saying that because there isn't an equal representation in some of these top positions of power that what I just think representation of is also
04:37:05
Parisasomething that is very important because like what we see represented and the opinions that are shared and whether or not they are diverse has a big impact on
04:37:14
Brian Atlaslike society and just how it's governed do do you think that men and women are 100% the same I mean no
04:37:25
Brian Atlaslike not do you think that men and women have different um proclivities when it comes to their interests or for the types of jobs that they go into and this
04:37:37
Brian Atlasis kind of related to the wage Gap a little bit like what do you mean well is it the case that that temperamentally men and women have different interests
04:37:48
Courtney Ferriswhen it comes to various things but like I'm trying to think of how many women are in the oil field versus that what you're kind of getting at well a
04:38:00
Brian Atlaslittle bit but um could it be the case that generally speaking like when women are less interested in pursuing a political political career than men are I honestly would not say so I I'd say
04:38:13
Parisaespecially today that is not the case I just say that I if like you are for example like somebody who is a person of color and then now add on being a woman
04:38:24
Parisaon top of that like your chances of gaining that um like position of power is going to be a lot lower than somebody who is like the second most powerful person in the world is a woman of color well now it is but that's because of the
04:38:36
Parisafact that we were able to get a Democratic candidate in who was but does she deserve I mean like what what what the policies you love about Cala I mean personally I was not the biggest like
04:38:47
ParisaBiden and Cala person I was more of like like Bernie I was on that stance but like I think many would argue that Camala was given power so I okay I I I
04:38:56
Brian Atlashave a question this right sucked her power just just because there is a just because there is a discrepancy does it necessarily mean that it's due
04:39:09
Parisato sexism I mean not necessarily but I think that if there was not such a historical and like current impact of sexism I think that this discrepancy
04:39:21
Juliawould certainly be a lot less but I think the institutions that have we've talked about have been historically been where women have been oppressed or suppressed or whatever I
04:39:32
Juliamean so education women now graduate with like strikingly at a strikingly higher rate than men do they have more degrees um they're even entering fields that have been historically dominated like male dominated such as like stem
04:39:45
Juliacareers and so um women are getting more opportunities within the the job sphere to address the wage Gap in the major cities Across America if male and men
04:39:57
Juliaand women for um particularly like white collar jobs are get equal pay and if not the woman gets like slightly more more so I think in a lot of ways we've addressed these issues and so the narrative that they're still unaddressed
04:40:11
Juliais is cancerous to the flourishing of society because I think you need the flourishing of both sexes and obviously we're seeing a large population of men
04:40:22
Juliafeeling that they're now feeling oppressed and they're feeling upset and and almost like forgotten and it's leading to in some ways a toxic culture so I think that I think that if we look
04:40:33
Juliaat what women have have earned and been given I think they've exceeded that if we look at like the the job the pay Gap the the jobs the education the amount of degrees that are they're earning so they
04:40:45
Juliahave achieved these things and that's great and so but now we have to go back to balance like the pendulum swung now it needs to balance out also I would
04:40:54
Brian Atlasargue so the the percentage of men that have power is a very small percentage of men so this idea that all men are in
04:41:03
Brian Atlaspower or all men men have power over women is fallacious so it's probably like what percentage of men are CEOs what percentage of men are in boardrooms
04:41:15
Parisawhat percentage of men hold political power and I wouldn't say compar compared to the rest of men that the power is a lot easier to access and it's a lot more
04:41:26
Brian AtlasI don't know I'd just say that it's easier to get to as a man I would actually argue that most even male politicians plate to the the female
04:41:35
Parisavoter base but that doesn't necessarily mean that it's easier for a woman to well but that that could come down to
04:41:44
Brian Atlasthe the innate differences between men and women and what what the choices that they make when it comes to what they go to uh what what they choose to study in
04:41:55
Brian Atlascollege and also the career fields that they choose to go into for example there's there are more female nurses than male nurses is that evidence of a matriarchy and that women are oppressing
04:42:07
Brian Atlasmen because there are more women who are nurses just because there's a discrepancy does not necessarily mean it's because there's sexism that's true but a discrepancy in power and a
04:42:17
Parisadiscrepancy in what opinions are voiced and heard I would say does mean that there is a discrepancy in like that well there's a whole lot of issues that face women that get a lot of attention politically but it's not clear to me
04:42:29
Brian Atlasthat there's any male Centric issues that really get much political attention at all which I think they should I don't think that just I can't think of
04:42:37
Brian Atlasanything M when it comes to male male specific issues that gets attention like his podcast is apolitical right how many can I ask do you have
