As a Dutch woman I love weighing in on the opening statement 'let the government fix it and relationships will be great again' exactly what we did here. The state sponsors childcare, so money is not an issue when you want to put your baby in daycare, more equality, more hapiness yay? Well... Dutch women are miserable, complaining about heir noodle arm husbands they chose while being on the pill, overworked and tired. And the government taxes 1 income households harder. Sure we have paid parental leave and subsidised childcare but the taxes are insane.Feminism has ruined this country and you cannot challenge it here... so I love listening to this show!!

[@FergusHodgson]

Thank you for sharing your perspective. People here in the United States are clueless about life in the Netherlands, so they project whatever ideals and outcomes they want to on the nation. Even when I travel to Europe I notice how the men are more docile and feminine (compared to my community in heartland America). It is strange, but that is just the way it is.

Vote for socialism…get socialism. Then that tiptoes into communism. Then you can’t vote your way out…you can only shoot your way out of communism or socialism …but, ooops, socialism convinced you to get rid of your guns…good luck!…you’re going to need it!

[@thefuturista7836]

I’m Swedish and the utopia American Feminists dream about changes nothing for women. Yes we have low cost universal childcare in Scandinavia which means almost all children go to daycare around 12 months old. The quality of daycare is very bad and many still decide to pay for private daycare because government daycares are so bad. There’s many articles in the news every year about the poor quality of daycares and how children get hurt at daycare because there’s too many kids and not enough staff. Paid maternity leave is definitely good for young babies since it motivates moms to stay home with their babies until they are 12 months. On the other hand, you don’t need government paid maternity leave for moms to prioritize staying home with their babies, you just need parents to educate themselves on what young babies need. When you have paid maternity leave women also tend to think that they must go back to work when maternity leave is up. If the country doesn’t offer maternity leave at all a mother can become a Stay at Home Mom from the beginning and never become dependent on the government money. Families with Stay at Home Moms learn to live on one income so that mom can be home the first three years or more, once you get dependent on government money it’s much harder to make that switch. Women in Sweden are also no more happy or balanced than American women. They constantly complain about their husbands not doing enough and are exhausted by normal family life in Sweden. Many women in Sweden get burnt out from trying to do it all. You would think that when you DO have paid maternity leave and universal daycare and still get exhausted by life you would realize that you are the problem. Nope. Women in Sweden are still convinced that the reason they are exhausted by normal family life is because the men are the problem, men aren’t doing enough. 🤦🏼‍♀️ Men in Sweden already do pretty much everything, they work, cook, clean, get kids ready for daycare in the morning etc. What else could they possibly do? Men should also do all the planning around holidays, buy Christmas gifts, birthday presents and plan & cook holiday dinners according to Swedish women. I’m not kidding, these are the complaints and discussions you find on Swedish parenting websites. 😂 I’m so happy I became a mom while living in North America. Stay at Home Moms are very rare in Sweden. It’s fun to be a Stay at Home Mom in North America where it’s quite common and it’s easy to find other Stay at Home Moms and Homeschool moms to connect with. It’s also illegal to homeschool in Sweden so I thank God I don’t have to live in that country.

[@MadameChristie]

Maybe women is Sweden WANT to go back to work. How revolutionary that may leave actually gives them an option🙄

[@thefuturista7836]

@@MadameChristieWomen want a lot of things. They want a better husband so they divorce the one they have and find a new one. It’s very common in Sweden for women to have multiple children, all from different dads/husbands. Women can want a divorce, want to put their children in low quality daycare etc. Are we supposed to just cheer them on, no matter what the consequences are for the children and the husband? Are women’s wants more important than their children’s needs? Is it more important for a woman to get what she wants than the family staying together? Should we ignore data because it doesn’t support what women want? Should we base our decisions in life on facts or on feelings? 😃

[@claird8991]

When I was working in an office with women, some of whom were feminists, back in the 80's/90's they told me the feminist claim that women do more household chores than men therefore men should do some of women's chores, like laundry, dish washing, vacuuming, etc. I asked them about women doing some of men's chores in return, like lawn mowing, snow shoveling, gutter cleaning, etc. They said those were chores done outside the house and therefore didn't count. They said men should continue to do all those chores but men should also do some of the chores inside the house as well. Some women I worked with complained a lot about not getting to be with their families as much as they wanted to because they had to go to work. These women had husbands who made a good living and could support them and their families quite well enough. But when I would point that out to them they would throw back at me the usual feminist rhetoric about men just wanting to keep women barefoot and pregnant in the kitchen. Then they would return to complaining about not getting to see their families as much as they wanted to because they had to work. I took the place of several of these women on night and weekend shifts and on holidays so they could be with their families and they thanked me for it. The impression I got from them was that they were so brow beaten by feminists into pursuing their careers that they sacrificed their own happiness and desires to be with their families to work like slaves in careers they didn't really even like just to please feminists.

[@LaurynJuhl]

I feel so fortunate that I had a mom who consistently told me about the strong urge we as women have to stay home with our kids, and a dad who consistently praised my mom for the value she brought to our family as a SAHM. I’m a SAHM now, and my heart aches for the women who long to stay home but didn’t set up their lives to do so ahead of time. This is such an important conversation for young women to hear. ❤

I used to work in Paris for a huge international organisation (194 member states and 12 associate members) so I was able to compare many different cultures.

A feminist's fear that if I stay at home I'll be my husband's slave tells me a lot about the kind of boyfriends she chooses...

[@felixthecat2786]

It's sad, but also very true for many women. They are choosing terrible men because they simply want to get married and have kids. They may not be mature enough or have enough relationship experience to understand that this person is abusive to begin with. They don't see those glaring red flags. Some of them may be coming into a relationship with their own trauma. If you've experienced an abusive parent then you're susceptible to abusive partners. They also can't seem to distinguish between real love v this guy enjoys my company. I had to learn this lesson the hard way. I've been with men who wasted my time, never wanted to commit, some of them were abusive. A man who truly loves you will lay down his life for you. He will do anything for you. If you say that you want to be a career woman, then he is going to support you. If you say that you want to take some time off from work to raise the kids he will support you. If you want to do freelance work and be a SAHM he will support you. it's not that complicated. It's only complicated when you have a man who doesn't want to be with you. Or worse a man who hates you. You won't have to force him to cook, clean, or do dishes. He will do these things with you because he loves you and wants a functional home. You will never have to beg a man to marry you if he loves you. If a man loves you he has a plan to marry you, he has a plan for children, he has some idea of how you two are going to spend your life together.

[@jonnjones8263]

It REALLY kills any and all motivation a man has to get married knowing thats whats in store for you.

My mother got married in the 50s, and I honestly think that she would have divorced my dad if she wouldn't been socio-economically trapped in her marriage. ( you know how it goes you make the money you make the rules, and they're not always good ones.) Then she was married for 35-40 years what do you do? So she stayed in the marriage but after my dad retired she just traveled and he stayed home. That was her answer to divorce.

There are good men out there that could provide raise a family with, but they come across a lot of times as Simps ( For people who don't know what that means, a simp is a transcendent nice guy. He is the type of guy that placates to a woman and pedestalizes her and gives her undue praise and gives gifts for the sake of receiving emotional connection, and sex. So there is no emotional connection, there is no genuine interest in a woman. He's simply doing it because he wants something in return so a simp is within modern parlance it is used to describe a male that is subservient. Especially for a woman that's probably rejected him already. Anyone looking in from the outside it's painful to watch, not to mention emasculating, and pathetic. Next step is being a stalker.

Because we didnt have the sophistication to measure and compile info into policies. Hmm, wonder why we have so many problems from lack of home issues... in that way I can see how capitalism is looked at to blame. But that is still simplistic. I like to see women fight back to say those traditional womens roles are highly valuable. And I think a lot of men agree too. I appreciate the leadership and work involved so I support where I can. Feminism is over represented by women who do not have family values. Therein lies a major problem; a part claiming the whole. So many isms have this structure , good and bad parts. There are aspects of feminism that are sweet! Right now it's not really useful for people who want to do the family thing!

And the Japanese are in a huge population problem, so child care probably isn't so much of an issue. My thought is WHY NOT ENCOURAGE mothers to stay home (at least until school age)? She is also 'worried about her daughter' who has chosen to stay home for a while, even though she doesn't have kids yet. WHY? If she is happy being home & her husband doesn't care, what is there to worry about? I am so busy at home, I don't have time for a job. LOL. I just DO NOT Have the drive to have a career.

[@SweBeach2023]

Making childcare subsidised is not about higher taxes but a transfer of funds in time. Having kids while still young is great from a biological point of view but not from a financial. Having kids in your fifties is great from a financial point of view but not from a biological. What subsidised childcare does is transferring funds from those at the end of their career to those just starting theirs while having lots of expenses for the kids. And when they are older, their earnings are at their peak and the kids have more out the circle start anew with them helping a younger couple.

I can relate. I dated so many different men while I lived in Scandinavia and it’s close to impossible to find a manly man there.

It's the first time I heard a woman telling the true meaning of equality. If two things are equal that means by definition that they are replacement of each other ! Suzanne used the best alternate 'interchangeable'. Men and women have never been interchangeable but no one dares to say that. Our left and right hand are not equal nor interchangeable ! We use them both as a team to work on things. One hand is more suitable for one thing and other hand for another thing. Fingers of a hand are never equal in size, they work together to function in a better way for that hand. The lack of acknowledgement for Each other's important role (specially no gratification for men's work) is the actual problem.

For worse. It’s the most awful podcast I listen to. Instead of explaining definitions and understanding of things, this lady only criticizes and dismisses. The problem is she does not understand any concepts of feminism. Her interpretations are absolutely wrong. For example, she says that equalitarian means doing same job. What a nonsense concept. Equalitarianism means that woman should not be treated as servant, but as a team member who can express her opinion and preferences. What’s wrong with that? Or woman’s increased earning power is treated as she’s must be out-earning her husband. No! It just means that woman can earn enough to make substantial contribution to family budget. It means that she earn enough not just to buy a lipstick, but for example to pay few family bills or take family on vacation. This earning power gives woman more self esteem and eases pressure on her husband. It has a lot of positive, not negative power. This podcast is so wrong on so many levels.

[@barbarabrooks4747]

I see four major issues in this debate: 1). Women with children need high paying part time jobs, such as being a hospital nurse, while the children are young; 2). Too many young men lack the skills needed to allow the mother to work part time or be a home maker; 3). Many young couples live beyond their means despite a good income. 4) Finally, government planners and big corporations want to concentrate jobs and dense housing in a few cities, while allowing smaller cities and towns to stagnate, this politico-economic model makes housing even more unaffordable for couples with children. Furthermore, the government wants to make 30% of all land a permanent nature trust without residents or agriculture, further harming small towns and making it harder for couples to buy land or have a thriving business as this plan replaces taxpayers with non-profit untaxed land owners! Americans want to support themselves, for the most part. Cramming them into dense cities guarantees dependence and the necessity of both parents working, and maybe even grandparents living with the couple, by necessity, because of expensive housing. Unfortunately, academics, urban planners and relevant officials want high density in 15 minute cities following the World Economic Forum and UN Agenda 2030. Families need economic opportunities to be decentralized and for there to be cheap housing, as well as having the personal characteristics to run a home and make a living.

[@barbarabrooks4747]

Many families do not teach life skills. It's better to teach them at school than to have them fail and end up in debt and being terrible parents. Many people won't be good at these skills until after the children leave home. Others never figure it out.

I just went and checked out the debate. I've listened to many debates on the internet and I wanna say that it's awesome how coherent and civilized you both were. It was a pleasure to listen to. 🙂 A couple of thoughts: I do not necessarily like the argument that "studies show". Studies say a lot of stuff, sometimes even in complete opposition. It's like you say, the specifics are important. Also, I find the feminist professor's trust in the government baffling. Here in Canada, they screw up nearly everything they touch.

[@djaeger-k5m]

I don’t trust studies conducted by feminists in academia… here in the us, since arrests of women for do have increased, multiple studies have been published trying to imply that the vast majority are false positives when they most certainly are not… it’s an attempt to change how the police treat such scenarios and to let the women off… it’s despicable the lengths they will stoop to

[@annaknitter]

Love your content! Thanks for the great work. I primarily listen to podcasts from the US because here in Germany we don’t have many people who talk about these important topics. But I thought I could share something from Germany regarding cost for daycare and parental leave money. Father or mother can take parental leave for 12 months the other partner can take additional two months after the 12 months are over. You get about 60% of your former salary during that time. Most women return to work after that one year and use daycare unfortunately. Daycare costs nearly nothing depending on the Bundesland (Germany consists of 16 federal states). I calculated recently how much in avarage the states pay for every child who is in day care per month. It’s about 1000€. I was shocked! I know Americans don’t like the idea of the state giving money and I partly agree. As a German I would rather see the following: If the states invest that money anyway (and they tend to spend more and more on day care that’s the only thing family politics offer us 😕) why not letting women choose wether to get the nearly free daycare or take the money and stay home. In addition to that we have something called Kindergeld (child money). 250€ per month for every child until it has finished his/her education (max. up to the age of 25 only during apprenticeship or studies). That makes 1250€ and you can easily stay home with that money which is spent anyway. I would rather see tax money spent that way than in daycare and the other ways they do. Don’t get me started on that. 😂 Other countries try other things. Hungary for example supports families by them not having to pay taxes. There are many different ways the government could act to improve the situations for families. I am happy to have a husband who wants to live the traditional and natural gender roles. So I will stay home and he will provide for us. Our surroundings really don’t get it and they are totally confused that we don’t want to use daycare or kindergarten. But we talked about all these things on our first date (no joke!). We knew what we get right from the start and now we live it out and we couldn’t be more in love and happier.

However whether a guy goes to a prostitute to lose their virginity has very little impact on society, but there's obviously negative consequences if it's not a prostitute.

1. Every study I've seen that talks about the amount of housework the two genders do is based on TIME. I've never seen one that actually accounts for either difficulty of said work or the efficiency of completing said work. It's always presented as if women simply taking longer to complete tasks is somehow more onerous and valuable than a man completing the exact same task in less time. Those studies ALSO often fail (more likely refuse) to account for the fact that on average, women work 38hrs per week while men work 42hrs. This means that men "take on" 10% more paid labor than women and earn 12.5% more ENTIRELY based on time. So, men have LESS time to actually do housework. This ALSO accounts for more than HALF of the mythical "wage gap." 2. Of course she blames "capitalism." Feminism is a STRATEGY to destroy "capitalism" by destabilizing society. They seek to destabilize society by destroying the nuclear family. It's LITERALLY what Engels was proposing. Giving women long periods of time off of paid labor to care for their children doesn't work in a Communist or Socialist society either. You're removing necessary productive capacity to shift toward childcare. It's completely unworkable in a collective "economy."

In my country maternity leave ws 3 years, when I was born. By the time my sister was born 2 years after me, they made it 2 years. It is still 2 years and mothers stay home. For some time now at least since my niece was born in 2017, mothers would take only 1 year off. I'm assuming this is true for some moms,but not all. And the reason I think is it's because they introduced in our country loans. When I asked my cousin why she isn't staying home she said, because they have a mortgage to pay and the first year she was getting her full salary, but the second year will be prorated and she will be getting only half her salary. Her mom was taking care of her daughter while she was working. I think they would have made it fine if they didn't fall for the loan trap.

Ok. I listened to the Munk debate. Here's my comment: One of the many things learned by listening men's right/advocates groups, lawyers, and scholars, is know what their common arguments are, steelman then, and rust them away with recipts from evidence using one or two of their beloved institutions as well as data from alternative data. Evidence from any kind of enecdote without receipts isn't strong enough for academic types. Reading Thomas Sowell, I realized the degree of linear and first level thinking that goes on, even from academics, is kind of high. They seeks solutions, rather than understanding, or completely ignoring, there are no true solutions. There are only trade-offs and costs. Because of this their intellectual complacency allows their political theories of the world becomes the leading driver and makeout with their hubris. It's all fun and games once the main producers stop producing but for themselves and their own. Then the talents of innovation and creations collapse down the productive hierarchy. Nearly every socialist country is still reeling from that good and hard.

Feminism- def. Advocate for women’s rights on the basis of sex, a person supports feminism. The woman you debated with is a far right feminists or worse has a tainted view of men. I consider myself very feminine. The right for women to work or stay home or a combination of both is a woman’s choice/family choice. I chose to stay home(1990-2008). From birth to almost 3, I stayed with my son then worked part time while he went to a 3/4 yr old preschool., he loved. When he went to 1st grade I worked until he needed me to be home for him at age 8. I returned to worked when he was 10-18 yrs old though it was around his schedule and I off summers with him. I had a lot of pressure to work or get my Master’s from my husband, family, friends, coworkers and others at different times. But I had experienced the 60’s with a mom home and the 70’s with mom working full time and it’s results. I needed a middle ground. It wasn’t always easy and sometimes very hard but rewarding. But you get one chance to parent, just one, there is no do over. I do not regret my choices. We still went on 2 vacations a year. And there are are so many free events, festivals, concerts, parades, museums, a zoo , parks, that we could spend 90% of our weekends doing day trips that most people call a vacation. There are so many, you had to pick from multiple opportunities each weekend, it was more a matter of FOMO because you couldn’t be everywhere at once. I quickly learned to make savings from my not working to make up for not working. We decided early in our marriage that his job was our primary and my working/job would be secondary. My being home relieved pressure in many areas. I stayed home when our son was sick. I cleaned, did most yard work, made/kept appointments, coordinated sports, karate etc. I did the food shopping, meal planning, cooking and clean up. I was home on snow days. I did homework supervision. I took care of most discipline. Also, clothes shopping/laundry for everyone. Christmas shopping. Car repair and maintenance. Paid bills/handled money on a daily basis, he got involved with planning where our money went and special unplanned events. My advice for someone starting out at 16-18 is to understand where you want to go and who you want to be. It essential. Do you want a home and children? Yes or maybe. Then do backward planning. Like you, I agree, plan for one parent to be at home, so 1 income. Next, do you want to own or rent? Either way you need to save for downpayment/closing to own or 1st/last month’s rent and safety deposit to rent. Is college important? Yes, find a way to graduate with debt or very little. A parent should be helping them set goals and helping them plan each step of how to meet those goals. This is true for girls and boys. Having a dream is fine, but even better is an achievable plan of action. They may look slightly different for boys and girls and from each individuals ability and talents. Just daydreaming is not enough. It is a parents job to show their children how to make goals and a plan/path to achieve those goals. A parent without that ability should learn or work with someone who can. Just like people use accountant, doctors, dentist and other specialist to meet their needs/goals. And teaching them about dating with a purpose early on is important. I like your dating with a goal towards marriage and family. P.S. college doesn’t have to be expensive, between AP courses in HS and CLEP free courses online it is possible to get 30 college credits for a FREE freshmen year or up to 45 credits for a University. This can cut the cost down by $10k-$40k of their loan needs. It can take a year off college and decreasing the loss of income. Additionally if a student takes college prep classes in HS, they can become incredibly board in Freshman year leading to habits such as skipping class, drinking, etc. Learn to apply for scholarships, did you know $100 million in scholarships goes unawarded every year. $500-$1000 scholarships added it up and can make a huge difference. Some scholarships don’t make it to the scholarship office and are only found in the department major office. Every tax payer can claim a $2000 tax credit each year. Some Universities have a 50% scholarships if you chose a particular minor. Why? Then more people will take those classes bringing up attendance allowing the department to continue to get funding and exist. Work full time summers, aim for a great paying job. I’ve known students who work full time in January making excellent money doing store inventories through a contracted business. Unpaid Internships are great but don’t consider them until after Junior year if you have student loans, and even after Junior year whether the internship might get you a job. The list of possibilities to say on school loans before they exist is unlimited. There are so many other ways and approaches.

"Men and women are the same, there are minor differences between us"...at first I was what is she talking about. But then I thought..if men do become a primary parent (unfortunately they can't breastfeed and give birth that women are born to be able to do) then overtime their hormones will shift to be more caring and tender - everything that women naturally are because of estrogen. Men are natural risk takers and striving in stressful situations (and working environment usually is) thanks to testosterone. If we switch roles completely we will end up with genderless partners, not men and women.. I do think Ellen didn't hear anything you were saying about the responsibility placed on one parent, she just read through her notes like a robot. She didn't care about the needs of kids, even though she mentioned it couple times. Babies need mothers, because they were in the womb of a mother not father. It doesn't mean that the woman should do 100% of care for their child and the house and work on top of that! Fathers can, need and must help, but they can't substitute the mother. What's so hard to understand? Not willing to embrace the fact that your baby needs you is the problem. A lot of women escape from their kids to work. They don't know how to build a strong bond with their children...

[@withoutlimits16]

Felt that Venker lost the debate, but only because she didn't have a lot of these stats/studies at her fingertips like an academic might. The conversation also never pivoted to the cost of a dual-income household in terms of the effect it has on children overall. (Which is sometimes hard to parse out, because one income households often mean lower family income, which can have other secondary effects.) Also, a number of studies Lamont listed weren't studies examining this issue in particular - rather - they were just general self-report surveys, which can be influenced by a million different things. This is important because aggregated generalized findings say little about the topic, which is SPECIFICALLY about familial bonds, parental attitudes, and the long-term effects a certain approach has on children.

[@tashak.4186]

I’m fairly certain that the benefits of having one parent stay home by choice greatly offset any downsides to having a one-income household. I mean sure it’s less money, but so what.
