If you've been trying to protect your neighbors from the Gestapo who's coming to arrest them, we understand how stressful that is.
They just create this completely false narrative.
That's not how the world really works.
Ask the average white man out there who he's oppressing, because most of them are just working hard as Amazon delivery drivers or plumbers or sewage workers or something like that.
The average white man has never had this incredible amount of power.
The minute you take away and destroy the framing that everyone accepts, this all falls apart, which is why I wrote the book.
Because I'm like, if women knew specifically...
This is supposed to be for us.
This whole movement was supposed to be for me and my daughters to liberate us.
And I was like, OK, from what?
From the people who have the best interest in protecting me, my father, my husband, my brother, the men around me.
In order to believe the feminist narrative that men have systemically just always wanted to keep women down and oppress them, you'd have to believe that they didn't care about their mothers, their daughters, their sisters, their grandmothers, their neighbor lady.
Just all the men wanted to just systemically oppress the women so that they could have free maids and, you know, sex bot women at home.
There was a ton of propaganda in the 70s as well about this.
Remember the Stepford Wives movie where it was revealed in the movie plot that like all the evil men in this nice suburban neighborhood full of white people, they all had sex bot wives.
They didn't want their real wives.
They wanted a mindless sex bot that cleaned the house and baked casseroles.
And this was supposed to imply that this is why men are oppressing you they don't want you to have a brain they don't want you to have input they don't want to hear your thoughts on things or have you be a real person they just want you to serve them you know what I mean.
