Key Moments

00:05:35
QuoteJess announces she is enlisting in the U.S. Marines at age 30. Explains motivation: lack of education, bartending at 30 feels embarrassing, wants structure and self-improvement.

my name is Jess I'm 30 I'm from Bay Area California I'm a bartender and I'm actually enlisting in the military... I leave in January

00:24:00
QuoteJess discloses that her partner of 8.5 years died in 2019. She spent ~5 years grieving and in therapy before recently entering a new talking stage.

my longest relationship is 8 and a half years... he has passed away since then he died in 2019 and I had a very hard time moving on with my life

01:28:16
OtherMason Gregoire introduces himself as "primarily a Christ follower" before listing his occupation as mechanical engineer. Panel reacts. He states he is pursuing Air Force Special Warfare and is training for it.

yeah uh my name is Mason greguar um first and foremost I'm primarily a Christ follower my uh job is mechanical engineer

01:41:35
ControversyMason explains why men prefer younger women: biological clock concerns, less emotional baggage, more open to deprogramming. States he would not date a woman over 30-32 due to accumulated baggage.

I don't want to date someone who's over the age of like 30 31 32 because one they all have all of this extra life baggage... I want to have a large family

01:57:50
ControversyAmy states she would "question the mental health" of men attracted to women 20+ years younger and uses the word "predatory." Brian challenges her, calling the statement pathologizing of all men. Extended confrontation.

I would be concerned about their mental health why are they dating someone... if a man is 20 years older... you're praying on them

02:22:30
OtherRAGE QUIT: Amy leaves after Brian calls her "retarded" during the age-gap debate. Amy had called men who pursue much younger women mentally ill / predatory. She dropped a prop, Brian escalated. Amy states she will not tolerate disrespect and leaves despite Andrew and others asking her to stay. Brian offers to apologize if she sits back down; she does not return.

could I make a comment as soon as like why would you call me retarded yeah I mean here's the tone policing again

02:26:55
ControversyDaria and Jess respond to Amy's rage quit, noting that Amy had called all men "mentally ill" and "disgusting" before getting offended at being called a single slur. Panel broadly agrees Amy's departure lacked consistency.

did she not call you guys mentally ill and disgusting... she called all men mentally ill she called but you got called

05:10:07
QuoteHannah describes kicking a 28-year-old man out of her manual transmission car for not knowing what the three pedals were. States she will not date a man who cannot drive stick shift because she does not want to be more masculine than a man.

and he was like why do you have three pedals I was like get the fuck out of my car... 28 years old and not know what a stick shift is

06:15:00
ControversyBrian produces a Wikipedia search showing "toxic femininity" redirects to "internalized misogyny" while toxic masculinity has a full article. Used as evidence of asymmetric treatment of gender topics.

I did a Google search of toxic femininity and toxic masculinity and there's Wikipedia article for toxic masculinity but if you try to search for toxic femininity it redirects to internalized misogyny

07:53:35
QuoteAndrew Wilson apologizes for leaving the show early citing an engagement in the morning. Thanks Brian, Mason, and the panel. Leaves before the show wraps.

Brian Brian sorry to cut you off I got to get going I got an engagement early in the morning

Topics Discussed

00:00:12
Introductions and Relationship Status

Host Brian Atlas opens show from Santa Barbara. Guests introduce themselves: Kylie Hansen (21, Denver, UCSB nanny/student), Amy (34, LA, podcast host + Army vet), Chase Carson (27, SB, hospital nutrition staff, bisexual), Daria (30, LA/Iran, tattoo artist), Jess (30, Bay Area, bartender/Marine enlistee), Morgan (29, East Bay, lash tech), Hannah (26, Maryland, web designer), Mason Gregoire (28, AZ, mechanical engineer/AF aspirant), Andrew Wilson (remote, debate host). Discussion of talking stages, exclusivity norms, relationship status, and body counts.

00:09:30
Talking Stage Norms and Exclusivity

Brian asks Kylie about her talking stage — does it bother her if the man she is dating sleeps with other women? Kylie initially says it would not bother her; panel pushes back. Jess and Chase argue against multi-partner talking stages. Mason shares his exclusive, marriage-focused talking stage. Hannah and others discuss initiation norms.

00:59:40
Body Count Discussion

Chase discloses body count of ~20-21 (thought she meant roster, not lifetime). Had 4-5 simultaneous casual partners. Jess criticizes the concept of a roster. Chase defends experimentation. Daria and others share perspectives on casual sex norms.

01:34:00
Toby Maguire Age-Gap Debate and Amy Rage Quit

Discussion of Toby Maguire (49) dating Lily (20). Amy calls large age-gap men mentally ill / predatory. Brian challenges her position on logical grounds. Andrew Wilson and Mason engage. Extended meta-debate on eye-rolling, respect, and tone-policing. Brian calls Amy "retarded" after she drops her prop. Amy rage-quits at ~2:22:40 despite offers to apologize.

03:05:00
Wage Gap and Equal Pay

Discussion of equal pay for equal work. Chase and Daria struggle to articulate positions. Mason lays out statistics: men work longer hours, take fewer sick days, take harder jobs, work graveyard shifts. General agreement that same-work same-pay is fair; wage gap attributable to occupational choice and hours. Morgan notes women in male-dominated trades can additionally monetize their rarity via TikTok.

03:12:00
Who Should Pay on the First Date

Brian asks each panelist who should pay on a first date. Kylie: whoever asks (acknowledges men initiate ~90% of the time). Chase: 50/50 (only been on 2 formal first dates despite 20+ sexual partners). Hannah: women should offer; if man accepts the offer he is socially inept. Morgan and Daria give various takes. Panel discussion of the asymmetry between initiating and paying.

04:27:00
Bear vs. Man in the Woods

Brian asks whether panelists would rather encounter a random man or a random bear in the woods. Most women choose bear. Andrew Wilson challenges the predictability argument. Hannah and Daria defend bear preference based on past negative experiences with men. Mason argues most men are harmless; bear has only two options (ignore or kill). Hannah challenged by Andrew on how to make fire without tools — she decedes she cannot.

04:55:50
Men's Masculinity and Peter Pan Syndrome

Hannah shares pre-show notes about men avoiding provider/protector roles causing women to become more masculine, creating a cycle. Brian and Andrew engage with the argument. Discussion of fake vs. real masculinity, controlling behavior, and absent fathers.

05:09:55
She Will Not Date a Man Who Cannot Drive Stick

Hannah reveals she kicked a man out of her 1995 manual transmission car when he did not know what the three pedals were. States she will not date a man who cannot drive a stick shift — "I don't want to be more masculine than a man." Andrew confirms his daily car is also a manual transmission.

06:08:20
Therapy Debate

Brian asks whether men's hesitance to go to therapy is toxic masculinity. Kylie says it is culturally imposed. Brian says he is skeptical of talk therapy except for specific issues. Andrew asks whether therapy actually cures anything. Kylie describes managing anxiety via therapy tools. Mason suggests alternative outlets (building things, physical activity). General discussion of therapy as green flag on dating apps.

06:20:30
Toxic Masculinity and Toxic Femininity

Brian asks whether toxic masculinity exists. Most say yes. Brian then asks about toxic femininity — same answer. Wikipedia search shows toxic femininity redirects to internalized misogyny. Kylie explains patriarchy theory and standpoint feminism from her UCSB feminist theory coursework. Panel generally agrees toxic femininity is underreported.

06:55:00
Feminist Theory and the Draft Debate

Extended debate between Kylie, Brian, Mason, and Andrew on whether feminism is about equality or equity. Brian argues feminism fights equality when it would benefit men (cites NOW opposing Florida's 50/50 custody presumption). Draft question: Kylie agrees women should probably be drafted for equality but hedges on equity framing. Hannah clearly states women should be drafted. Mason argues men and women are intrinsically different so equality of outcome is impossible. Andrew leaves at ~7:53:47.

05:44:33
Dariaum thievery Okay so sorry do you so you consider yourself then the most attractive woman at the table I mean not just like looks wise I
05:44:44
Andrew Wilsonguess I would say but yeah sure yes I'm confident in myself I I like myself yeah just just based on looks you're the prettiest girl in the room so you're the prettiest girl in the room I will say Bas on I pick her for they gave
05:44:57
Morganthemselves enough credit wait what hold on say that again I said based off looks I'd pick her for my smash you'd have sexual intercourse with her well I mean if I was super if I was a man you'd have
05:45:08
Morgancarinal knowledge in a video game wait wait are you by no that's why I said if I was a man you is it because of the tats no you know the only I am biased I
05:45:20
Morganguess a little bit with that I know you guys are not fond of them I I am attracted to tattoos but I just think she has nice features I like her face thanks yeah is she prettier than you I think she's prettier than me yeah I
05:45:33
Brian Atlasthink you're pret is she the prettiest girl in the room to me personally yeah I think she is thank you okay so I don't think we got a qu answer from you though are you the most attractive woman in the
05:45:45
Dariaroom I mean I wouldn't say I think that no I think that everybody kind of like downplayed themselves
05:45:56
Dariabut if by default because of the answer then yeah so which girl is prettier than you who's who's prettier mhm like prettiest no prettier than you prettier
05:46:08
Dariathan me I mean I really think she's really pretty is she prettier than you could be yeah I don't mind that well I mean I'm just I'm asking you for your
05:46:19
DariaI'm not going to so she is no yeah I think so I think so she has features that like I would maybe want to have like so she's prettier than you by your estimation okay great so if she's
05:46:31
Dariaprettier than you if you're a 10 and 10 is perfect then what does that make her it makes her whatever she wants cuz that's my opinion of myself I'm what you can make whatever kind of sense
05:46:42
Morganof it you want but that has to do with your own self-esteem I will say I think a lot of women base this question off how they how they feel personally about themselves where I base my answer off
05:46:55
Morganhow I think other people would rate me so to speak I'm not basing it off of necessar like do I think I'm an ugly person no I don't do I think I'm the most attractive person no I don't um I would say I'm average um yeah like I
05:47:07
Morgandon't think I'm better than any of these women when when I answer that question I answer it based off what I think other people would view me as and I think I think people would view me as no more than the other women are under selling
05:47:20
Morganthemselves or that you're overselling yourself are you asking me both of you um I think they're under selling themselves I think both I think some oversell themselves and I think some undersell themselves just the ones in
05:47:34
Andrew Wilsonthe room because the thing is is that I'm not I understand that you can say that beauty standards are subjective that's fair but if you do say that beauty standards are subjective but then you rate yourself you must have some
05:47:47
Andrew Wilsonstandard that you're applying to yourself or else you couldn't rate yourself 100% 100% so if that is true and I ask if you're the prettiest girl in the room and you say no why then would the other girl rate herself as a
05:47:58
Andrew Wilsonfive either one one of you is UN underselling Yourself by your estimation or you're overselling Yourself by your estimation only one of those can be true I could be overselling myself but I also am keeping in mind the other qualities
05:48:11
Andrew Wilsonthat I have to offer so yeah but it's just strictly off of beauty that's it that's the only standard we're looking at okay stop same F answer doesn't change I
05:48:22
Andrew Wilsonguess yeah but wouldn't that be incoherent if it doesn't change if you think somebody else is prettier than you and 10 10 is the perfect Mark and somebody else is higher than the 10 you gave yourself how could you be being
05:48:33
Dariahonest with us I I I don't really have a good answer for you for that I guess all right that's the best way I can put it that's
05:48:47
Brian Atlasall anything else any of so there's no women that are more beautiful not even just at the table in the world there's no women that are more beautiful than you like you're just on par no cuz
05:48:57
Dariaobviously you heard my my answer about it I don't think that realistically like I am the most beautiful person person ever and people are underselling
05:49:09
Brian Atlasthemselves in this room but I can't I can't personally think about you're you're like on par with the most beautiful women in the world I could close I could be that has a lot to do
05:49:21
Andrew Wilsonwith like what I believe right yeah yeah so do you believe that do you believe that you're on par with the prettiest girls in the world sure yeah just from a physical
05:49:32
Dariastandpoint yeah yeah I've done I mean I don't know that could come like from like it could be mistaken for ego as well but that's fair enough it's a moding for a long time too so that had to be let me just ask you then quick

Kylie Hansenthough wa say again I don't I I disagree with the emotionally part okay yeah I think that women are stronger emotionally and mentally though on average of course there's like outliers um but on average men would be
06:00:29
Kylie Hansenphysically stronger women are stronger sorry you said uh emotionally and what was the other one mentally mentally so do you mean intellect not necessarily because I feel like you can't categorize something like that off
06:00:39
Kylie Hansenof gender but I think mental resilience yes
06:00:48
Mason Gregoirewomen who generally if you're going to make a generalization who generally lashes out of emotion women I mean is that is there also a hormone Factor like put into this so I'm
06:01:00
Mason GregoireI'm regardless yeah I mean part of being a woman is you have different hormones than men but also to be aggressive so I mean generally speaking like who are who are more
06:01:11
Dariareserved with expressing their emotions men or women men men are taught to reserve their emotions though but is that just Reserve or an aggressive emotion so do
06:01:23
Kylie Hansenyou want men to not be taught to control their emotions do I want them to I want them to be taught to process it in a healthy way well process it in a healthy way what does that look like that looks like not lashing out I think that
06:01:35
Kylie Hansenwatchingg out isn't healthy either but so controlling your emotions you want to control their emotions men generally control emotions better I'm not saying control your emotions what I'm saying specifically is I feel like on average
06:01:48
Andrew Wilsonwomen are taught to regulate their emotions in healthier ways versus men aren't men yeah don't have let's walk through what that means what do you mean that they're taught to regulate in a healthier way I think that a lot of
06:02:01
Kylie Hansentimes when men experience mental distress they will not use healthy coping techniques and they will not talk about it push it down what are those healthy coping techniques healthy coping techniques like when I'm upset I will
06:02:12
Kylie Hansentalk to my friends I'll talk to my mom I have my friends to confide in I talk it you have to feel it to heal it I feel my emotions fully and then I'm able to move on past it so men don't talk to their
06:02:24
Mason Gregoirefriends I don't think they talk I don't think it's on the same level because what do you mean it's not on the same level what what are you talking about I think how men and women should deal with their emotions is
06:02:36
Mason Gregoireentirely different because men and women are entirely different so women show a lot of progress sitting down and just directly chitchatting with like a
06:02:46
Mason Gregoiretherapist or somebody else men on average they their mental healing like how they work through all this crap is
06:02:55
Mason Gregoireyeah we go chop down trees we'll fix a motorcycle and oh my godon stop with maning bro you got to feel it you have to feel it
06:03:06
Mason Gregoireyou're right there was that documentary that experiment that woman did that committ well so I mean how how men heal through things might just look differently and
06:03:18
Mason Gregoiredoesn't mean it's unhealthy doesn't mean it's wrong also the way men control their emotions it's not because they're taught to do that it's natural like men
06:03:30
Mason Gregoirenaturally hold things in because they're built that way women don't naturally hold things in because they're not built that way and it's it's like those distinctions are good because you're
06:03:43
Dariadesigned that way I respect your opinion but I don't like from experience I don't think that's yeah doesn't I think you're I respect your opinion too I agree with you and I think and thank you
06:03:55
Kylie Hansenfor explaining to me too that like that could work good for processing like how men do it because that is a valid way to process your emotions me personally I process my emotions best when I'm alone it's like I take alone time I do something independently and I'm able to
06:04:08
Kylie Hansenlike work through it similar to how you're talking about like how men will go chop down trees instead of chitchatting you know what I mean so I don't think it's so physical than for you guys and then well it's just
06:04:19
Mason Gregoirestatistical finding women women have success dealing with emotional whatever talking through things dealing with trauma emotional baggage they deal best
06:04:32
Mason Gregoirewith through those things by talking through in therapy sessions like talking those things out men generally do better at coping with those things not through sitting down actually
06:04:43
Mason Gregoireuh it's shown that if men try to just sit down talk to a therapist and deal with those things like women do it doesn't show nearly as much of effect as if they would just like stand
06:04:56
Mason Gregoirearound a lawn mower and fix it together cuz naturally as you're fixing reflection you you start to like you start to bring conver you start to bring things up like as guys do stuff together as you're like doing something
06:05:08
Mason Gregoirefulfilling an activity those things might come up uh the actual Act of doing this manual labor or accomplishing a task is therapeutic for men so without
06:05:19
Dariaeven discussing the topic you can heal all of those things women do that too though you know I I'll go have a run in the morning and I'll feel way better than I would have if I didn't but you know excise that's good but like I'm
06:05:31
Mason Gregoirejust saying in general that's how men will heal through things and in general that's how women will heal through things so when when people come out and say they do not know how to cope or they
06:05:41
Andrew Wilsondo not know how to heal maybe they just don't heal the way you do can I ask about the uh the female coping mechanism
06:05:52
Andrew Wilsonversus the male coping mechanism when you say healthy men don't deal with these things in a healthy way uh can I give you an example of a way that I cope for instance if I'm upset and this is
06:06:05
Andrew Wilsonthis is this is true and then you can tell me if you think it's healthy or unhealthy so what I generally do is I load up a 22 magnum and I go up on my top deck and I turn on the night vision and I wait for the rabbits to come out
06:06:16
Andrew Wilsonat night and then I blow their faces off and I think it's hilarious right I mean I just gun them down mercilessly and it doesn't bother me a bit and I feel a lot better is that
06:06:28
Andrew Wilsonunhealthy you feed the rabbits to the dogs oh I mean do you feed the rabbit Fe let them r i don't give a [ __ ] about them they're p and they annoy me down
06:06:39
Dariafor fun is that is that unhealthy there's been plenty of times where I don't know when I was way younger that I felt like punching a hole in a door felt amazing
06:06:51
Dariaafter fighting somebody at school felt great like that was a great way to get my anger out but obviously in society that's not the right way to get it out but he's not necessar talking about
06:07:03
Andrew Wilsongetting like expelling Anger from his body that's a physical that's a physical no I'm just I'm just that's just the equalent or I'm having some kind of issue or something
06:07:14
Andrew Wilsonlike this I like to just murder the local Wildlife because I you know just kind of find it mildly amusing and I don't like the little bastards being in my yard because it's mine is that healthy or unhealthy I want to start off
06:07:26
Kylie Hansenby saying that I'm glad that that helps you and I'm glad that you have a technique that you feel can help you emotionally process things um I'm going to be very vague in answering this cuz I
06:07:37
Kylie Hansenam very tired I feel like everyone's definition of healthy what's healthy for me is going to look different from someone else just in terms of like mental health and if that's what you find
06:07:49
Kylie Hansenhealthy for yourself sure I find that healthy then and I'm glad that you have that as a technique to process your em as long as you're not hurting other people around you do I think that it
06:07:58
Andrew Wilsonwould be great if it was a technique that didn't cause you to inflict pain onto another living thing sure yeah but that's the best part that like the funnest part of it is the blasting of
06:08:11
Andrew Wilsonwatching Their little bodies explode like that's the fun part I mean what's what is is that is that unhealthy I mean I don't know how that little that little brown
06:08:24
Andrew Wilsonjust Zips in it just slices them right in half just just like that and I'm like yeah take that you little bastard is that me being like unhealthy or is that
06:08:34
Andrew Wilsonat the proper masculine way in which to process my emotions just if I was looking at you for for keeping you from hurting other I don't know I guess
06:08:44
Dariathat's F Rel sense would like is it ideal no I'm glad it works for you yeah I don't think like uh how it's not IDE though I've seen a lot I feel like it's
06:08:55
Andrew Wilsona great service that I do for the community I keep the uh you know the pest under control and at the same time I'm able to um I don't know satiate my
06:09:06
Dariafeelings at the same time it seems like it's a win-win yeah it is that is good and but you know I don't think there's many other people that that have
06:09:17
Andrew Wilsonthat ask the in the chat come over late it's 2:00 in the morning we're drinking beer we're just cutting those little bastards in half like it's like it's going out of style and it's hilar
06:09:28
Dariaand it's fun are they also are they processing their emotions properly too but you can't deny that that there are significant like um improvements in like
06:09:40
Dariaa mental health of of a man that has gone through crazy type of trauma and they talk about it that I've known personally at least five that after
06:09:51
Dariagetting a therapist and just releasing that in a short amount of time they didn't even need to continuously see uh a professional for that that already
06:10:02
Kylie Hansensolved a bunch of their problems I would argue that I do agree that there is some genetic component like how you were saying earlier I do acknowledge that there have been studies done like
06:10:12
Kylie Hansenthat's totally like I agree with you on that but I also do think that due to the notion that men are taught that they they don't see the same amount of people in therapy like when you when you picture a therapist office who do you
06:10:25
Kylie Hansenpicture sitting on the couch next to the therapist you picture a woman right we've all been conditioned Society to think that women are the ones who go to therapy men don't go as often because it's the truth it's what societ reflect
06:10:36
Kylie Hansenif you were to grow up in an environment where you saw your father going to therapy you saw male role models going to therapy and speaking openly about it there's a greater chance that you might
06:10:47
Andrew Wilsontake to therapy more therapy's I want to let you know here's here's the the kind of traditional male therapy that I'm used to and I think it's far superior because there seems to
06:10:58
Andrew Wilsonbe far less mental illness in men and we know that by the numbers because we can see the amount of anti-depressants and we can see the amount of antis psychotic drugs that women are on versus men go ahead do you think that's because men
06:11:12
Kylie Hansenaren't going to these doctor's appointments so they're not even getting diagnosed and prescribed in the first place but you would you would see this you would see this act out in other ways in society then the highest the highest
06:11:22
Andrew Wilsonpopulation of uh anti-depressant abusers is women isn't the highest um so no mental illness is higher in women than it is in men there's no doubt that
06:11:34
Andrew Wilsonthat's true but you know how I see men generally deal with uh with their problems rather than go and sit on a couch and talk to some chick about their feelings what they do is they get on a game called Red Dead Redemption 2 and
06:11:45
Andrew Wilsonthey find prostitutes and they tie them up in the game and they put them on the back of a horse and they go down to the railroad track and then they throw them on the railroad track and then they wait there with a six shooter till the train
06:11:57
Andrew Wilsoncomes and then it blasts them and cuts him in half and then they shoot at the body parts in the gameon that's that I see them do it and you know what they seem to be having a blast so I was like
06:12:07
Andrew Wilsonyou know what try that [ __ ] and it was a lot of fun are these is that a healthy way to deal with their issues I feel like everything you said was to yeah
06:12:17
Dariadefinitely if that's what works for them beautiful I think for YouTube why put all of that energy into something like that when you can just cuz it's fun talk
06:12:29
Mason Gregoireand get it out it's fun as as a gamer I can tell you the them to get it out in a game thy sessions I've ever had have been with the boys playing Call of Duty
06:12:39
Dariadoing the most obscene stuff but is it because is this because like people tell you like even me for instance I thought like crying people seeing me cry was
06:12:49
Dariaweak yeah and I had to figure that out but that kind of goes for like men like they think those kind of behaviors are weak or they were told that at some
06:12:59
Dariapoint in their Liv think uh that has something to do with it I don't know here's the thing though is that we don't want to talk about our problems we want to solve them okay go solve them but you
06:13:12
Brian Atlasdon't to solve them suppressing all that but why okay so you're in therapy because I feel bad about ex I feel bad about my life circumstances I feel bad about something
06:13:23
Brian Atlasthat happened um you go to find out why you react to things in the way you react I don't know about I don't know about you Mason if I like actually start meditating and thinking about my
06:13:34
Brian Atlasproblems talking about my problems I feel bad like it makes me feel bad that's a bad sign it doesn't make me like it doesn't help the problem no I don't that's not a good sign that's
06:13:44
Mason Gregoirethe first how that's the first step into problem solving well no men see things as like problem solution if there's a problem in my life I need to find a solution always a solution though there's always a solution regardless but
06:13:57
Mason Gregoirethe first step to getting to a solution is no okay I'm just going to let you Inside the Mind of Men right now that's yeah when we when we see a problem it does nothing
06:14:08
Mason Gregoirefor us to ruminate and just stew on the problem itself and think about why is it a problem uh who why is it affecting my psyche uh why does it make me feel this
06:14:18
Mason Gregoireway we don't think like that we think okay there's the problem let me solve this problem eliminate it and I don't have to deal with it anymore it's gone it's out of my mind that's a problem
06:14:28
Mason Gregoirethey think because well you're you're coming at me as a woman saying this because your mind works different you sit there you say well that [ __ ] happened and then you move on well no
06:14:38
Mason Gregoireit's because as men like we can just it from our minds we can totally recover from things by just talk about the longer you talk about something the more you're just going to drag it up and then you're just going to have to deal
06:14:51
Brian Atlaswith it over and over and over again just say okay that happen have you ever had the experience of you go to like a guy maybe you're dating him and he you like tell him a problem right and he's
06:15:02
Brian Atlaslike okay well you can do XYZ and here's how you can resolve well that just want to listen that's the that's the difference between men and
06:15:14
Brian Atlaswomen yeah that's not if a girl comes to me if a girl comes to me with a problem I'm going to be like okay how can I fix this but y'all are like no I don't want a solution just listen to
06:15:25
Kylie Hansenme is the whole y'all thing you guys don't like that we do but I don't want to like as a guy I don't want to vent to anybody really [ __ ] that's up to you that's subjective
06:15:37
Kylie Hansenand that's totally valid I'm not saying that's not valid but that really helps I have a clarifying question for you specifically when you're saying that the way that men are wired and their brains work this way yeah I agree that that's
06:15:50
Mason Gregoirethe majority of men but do you think that's how all men are wired or should be naturally yeah I mean naturally yes naturally yes is that okay sometimes sometimes there are problems that are
06:16:01
Mason Gregoiretoo large for a man to accomplish by himself so he has to bring in other people but at the end of the day all he's trying to do is just solve the problem instead of talk about the intricacies of the problem like if he
06:16:13
Kylie Hansenhas to talk about the intricacies of the problem to solve it he'll do that but for the sake of talking about the problem he'll never do that only when it's necessary you're saying exactly
06:16:22
Kylie Hansenokay I understand that I will say too though I have going back to your point about how when you'll vent to like a a boyfriend or whatever I have had Partners in the past we're all vent to
06:16:35
Kylie Hansenthem and they don't immediately hand me Solutions and their natural instinct is just be like I'm so sorry that sucks like well I think I'm so sorry that happened like I don't think that well it's CU they've been taught like sorry I
06:16:48
Mason Gregoiredidn't want to cut you off no it's okay but generally speaking the first relationships I ever got into my initial reaction was solve the problem but it's been taught to me that women don't think
06:16:59
Mason Gregoireexactly like I do so i' I've had been I've had to learn that when a woman comes to me with a problem I have to decipher or ask them do you want a solution or you just want me to
06:17:09
Mason Gregoirelisten generally speaking I'll TP I'll typically just listen but with a guy one of my Bros comes to me with a problem I know I can just give him a solution and that's kind of what he's looking for no
06:17:22
Kylie Hansenand I think that's a good skill that you have that you can differentiate in between those two important it comes with learning so of course but I will say that I have friends who are male where their instinct is not to just
06:17:34
Kylie Hansensolve it it's to comfort me first and that's their natural instinct so I I agree with you that that's the majority of men I do not think that is all of them though I think that you're I I thinking a lot of blanket terms here
06:17:46
Mason Gregoirewell maybe you haven't been with them through their whole life maybe there have been points in life childhood friends and I from birth you've been with them cuz like at all points in life
06:17:56
Andrew WilsonElementary School I'm early we all want to solve the problem that's not the the issue here can I ask a a question along this vein
06:18:09
Andrew Wilsonokay uh for those of you who are big heavy Believers in therapy have you ever actually known a single woman who's gone to therapy and been cured of the problem
06:18:18
Dariashe was going to therapy for cured hell no I don't think there is just off of a just off of talking to one person no don't get cured like that it's not it's not the way it sounds
06:18:30
Kylie Hanseneither I think that when you go to therapy you learn how to deal with problems life throw you I don't think you get cured it's a longer lasting you learn how to address things in the
06:18:40
Kylie Hansenfuture when they crop up in your life I've gone to therapy and at this point now would I say I'm cured no I'm a human I experience stress within my daily life but after going to therapy I know how to
06:18:52
Dariamanage stress better and it worked for me and that's fine wouldn't that be a cure no cuz you don't like yeah I don't
06:19:01
Dariaknow you no longer have I goally I just don't go as often maybe you cured that like problem at that time that you had but people don't stop going
06:19:12
Mason Gregoirethrough experien that if if the goal of therapy is to gather all of these tools so you can appropriately deal with issues in the future you should be able to provide somebody with those tools and
06:19:24
Darianot have to continue providing new tools to them but do you have the same like problems or fears that you did when you were five then now no because I deal with them
06:19:35
Kylie Hansenexperi I have the tools I don't have to continually have somebody give me more tools to figure out how to deal with the issues for you [ __ ] can I propose an analogy real quick just to shed light on
06:19:46
Kylie Hansenmy perspective okay think of it like this I went to therapy because I experienced anxiety from a really young age I did not know how to deal with stress right think of it like a chronic
06:19:57
Kylie Hansena chronic disease right you can learn to manage it but it never fully goes away I still feel anxious but now I have the tools in order to remedy that and ease those
06:20:08
Andrew Wilsonsymptoms it's like an it's like living with a chronic I don't I hate drawing that compar have you ever tried Alternative forms of medicine though Alternative forms of medicine can you please elaborate and provide examples yeah like give you an example have you
06:20:21
Andrew Wilsonever tried bunny blasting oh my God no please explain though that's where you
06:20:30
Kylie Hansentake blow brain I ask for examp plural I believe I asked for examples plural please provide more I think that's all he has I don't know um it's okay you
06:20:42
Andrew Wilsonknow funny going out and uh and shooting at random things or ocus energy and building something or any number of different things yes I do build I have done the building things my
06:20:55
Kylie Hansendad does Woodworking and I've gone out and learned how to woodwork with him and that has been did you learn how to wood work my brother we built the furniture for his bedroom so we built a frame a desk and a little nightstand for him
06:21:07
Kylie Hansenwell what did you do for the woodworking portion you specifically woodworking me specifically okay well I used the saw I learned how to use the band saw what kind what kind of saw what did you say
06:21:17
Kylie Hansenwhat kind of saw a band saw and I learn like a handsaw I did use a jigsaw in order to stabilize the wood yes and then I learned how to use a stander my dad is very very into carpentry so he did teach
06:21:30
Kylie Hansenme basic things am I a master woodcrafter no I never claimed to be not asking if you're M just asking if you've ever vented maybe your frustrations in a different way I think that they're to
06:21:42
Kylie Hansenyes and I'm not just saying like I have many different ways that I process emotion I just don't go to therapy 24/7 I don't think anyone does I like jum I'll jump on I'm going to jump in on this okay a part of I don't I mean if
06:21:55
Brian Atlasyou're trying to actually tackle something specific you said you had anxiety you went to therapy for it perhaps you saw somebody who specialized in treating people who have did yes panic disorders anxiety Etc I don't
06:22:06
Brian Atlasreally have any objections there but I do think there are some sort of this idea like because you'll see on like dating apps for example to bring it back to dating women will just like wholesale say green flag if a man's in therapy or
06:22:19
Brian Atlasmen should be in therapy which sort of pathologizes men in general saying well there's something sort of innately wrong with men and they need to solve their
06:22:29
Brian Atlasmaleness by I mean I'm S I don't want to straw man but you will see these things from women on dating apps for example um just going to talk therapy because
06:22:40
Brian Atlasyou're just vaguely not really trying to address any specific anything specific like you were with anxiety but you're just vaguely unhappy or vaguely
06:22:51
Brian Atlasdepressed or just because Society is saying or women are saying I'm attracted to men men should be in therapy it's a green flag um I think there's an issue
06:23:01
Brian Atlasthere talk therapy I don't think is effective at all uh but I do think for example as you mentioned therapies that can assist with specific issues maybe
06:23:11
Brian Atlassomeone who's coping with the uh who's grieving who's lost a family member there are therapists who can specifically help with how to overcome that sort of thing I think that you know
06:23:21
Brian Atlasand often times these are covered by the hospice or um in any case but it does kind of lead into our next thing here I've heard that men's hesitance to go to
06:23:32
Brian Atlastherapy or their unwillingness to to go to therapy is evidence of toxic masculinity do you agree with that here's what I would say I would say that an adherence to go a therapy has
06:23:44
Kylie Hansenbeen due to the notion that a lot of men are just taught that therapy is not for men here's what and I also have a response to the dating prompts do I think that everyone needs to actively be in therapy no I don't think everyone
06:23:56
Kylie Hansenactively needs to be in therapy like do I think that at least everyone should at least try it once in order to see if it works for them yes yes I do I don't think that everyone needs to be in it consistently though that's like how you said like you have processing techniques
06:24:09
Kylie Hansenthat work for you better and I'm glad and like I'm not saying that therapy has to work for you like that would be really ignorant of me to think that one train would work for everyone you know what I mean like that's not my argument
06:24:21
Brian Atlashere all I'm going Tove say that everyone should at least try it once or consider it well I'm going to move it off of therapy conversation uh a couple more questions and we will try to wrap things up here pretty soon bring uh
06:24:33
Brian Atlasbringing up talk toxic masculinity do you believe that that is a thing though yes toxic masculinity going around the
06:24:40
Brian Atlastable yeah yes yeah no not a thing okay uh do you think there's toxic femininity
06:24:50
Brian Atlasoh 100% yes yeah yeah definitely but why do we tend to hear more about toxic masculinity than we do about toxic femininity why do you think that is I
06:25:02
Kylie Hansenthink that's actually a really interesting question
06:25:09
Kylie Hansenum I think because feminism is such a new field like it's only been around like the term feminism what when was it coined like I'm not even sure personally
06:25:19
Kylie Hansenbut it's a relatively recently new field right when you have new Fields emerging you don't look at it with the same lens as you would um a field that is like more established I think that a lot of
06:25:32
Kylie Hansentimes with toxic femininity I think a lot of times women will peat each other down like little Digs at each other passive aggressive making each other look bad in front of other people I'm sure everyone at this table has
06:25:43
Andrew Wilsonexperienced a woman being toxic to in some form it's that's kind of a weird analogy though right I mean feminism's been around a lot longer than let's say the microchip for
06:25:54
Dariainstance like really though are you comparing feminism to a microchip no like I I mean I also assumed that it was within the past like
06:26:05
Kylie Hansenfew hundred years maybe yeah I'm saying how how old do you think the microchip is I don't know I don't know I don't study microchips it's okay I mean if you
06:26:16
Andrew Wilsonhad a guess right the microchip would be pretty recent right yes okay can I please finish my point Yeah well yeah but I still would like you to answer to
06:26:27
Andrew Wilsonthis because you start by saying well feminism is kind of a new term and because of that we're focusing on this kind of a limited prism which is really
06:26:37
Andrew Wilsonstrange because um I think that language and I think that ideas are just Technologies just like a microchip they're all just Technologies so okay I I it still still kind of begs a question
06:26:49
Andrew WilsonI don't really understand why we would be hyperfocusing on toxic masculinity just because feminism is new that's part I don't
06:26:59
Dariaunderstand I mean I don't know I think it's not it shouldn't be focused on just toxic masculinity I think that toxic the case like you know I agree with your guys'
06:27:11
Kylie Hansenpoints that toxic femininity does need to be talked about more I've never said that I think it's honestly a bigger issue than people make it out to be I think that a lot of the times the
06:27:22
Kylie Hansenbiggest I think in a lot of instances too a lot of issues that women have can be attributed to other women in these instances but that's because it's like looked down upon
06:27:33
Dariaalmost by like the feminist whatever that would be cultur that it if you are a woman and you say something against feminism or what the
06:27:44
Dariathe like social Norm definition of it is then you're not on the side I don't know on the right side of of it I don't know
06:27:54
Kylie HansenI'm trying to like I think that a lot of times to insecure women will gain confidence by putting other women down and I think that's why it happens a lot of the time
06:28:05
Brian Atlasso it's just as bad as toxic masculinity it's not like I actually I just I found something kind of interesting I was just trying to Google I I did a Google search
06:28:16
Brian Atlasof toxic femininity and toxic masculinity and there's Wikipedia article there's a full-on Wikipedia article for toxic masculinity but if you
06:28:26
Brian Atlastry to search for toxic femininity it redirects to internalized misogyny which I think is
06:28:34
Mason Gregoireinteresting why using Wikipedia as your Source well I mean off sided but I mean getting like a societal consensus upon
06:28:45
Dariasomething Wikipedia is pretty useful I mean just any wikip information in there Brian how dare you think toxic feminity is a thing I think the first thing we were taught in school and was to check
06:28:57
Mason Gregoireyour sources no yeah I'm not saying Wikipedia is a obviously because there's no toxic femininity not very so UC hold on hold on so UCSB has a uh a uh
06:29:09
Brian Atlasfeminist studies program have you taken any feminism courses yes I have okay um how do you recall the name of the course or I took um feminist 181 it was applied
06:29:22
Brian Atlasfeminist theory was there a more introductory course that you took or that was the only feminist course you took I took um feminist 62 it was women of
06:29:32
Kylie Hansencolor so this used standpoint Theory what was that feminist standpoint theory in the upper division course yes I did it as a
06:29:42
Kylie Hanseng okay wait so but no like intro to is there an intro to feminism or anything like that well you take the lower Dives before you take upper Dives the lower Dives are considered your intro course before you get to the upper div course
06:29:54
Kylie Hansenwell you said the so you took the color what is it women of color class is a lower div it's introductory before the higher level so you took that one and then you took the applied yes feminism what is applied feminism what is that
06:30:06
Kylie Hansenapplied feminist theory is applying theories that center around the perspectives of women and using that as a lens to view issues in society so this can go with any Theory you could do this
06:30:18
Kylie Hansenwith Marxist theory anything you can it's just using a theoretical lens to view an issue in this point the standpoint lens
06:30:30
Brian Atlasyes yeah okay and I mean so you you took issue with me citing to Wikipedia kind of redirecting toxic femininity to this
06:30:42
Brian Atlasterm internalized sexism but isn't this a term that feminists use internalize sexism or internalize misogyny yeah I have used that I have heard that news before so it's replaced you don't use
06:30:53
Brian Atlasinternalized or excuse me you don't use toxic femininity you used internalized sexism or misogyny um no I would probably use toxic
06:31:04
Brian Atlasfemininity to be honest is is toxic femininity uh focused on in uh feminist studies I would say yes more so than
06:31:14
Brian Atlastoxic masculinity I would say equally so it yes I would say so okay and then what are some of the I mean do you guys talk about patriarchy patriarchy theory yes it's Ain I mean the whole thing is toxic
06:31:26
Andrew Wilsonfemininity ultimately right because it's standpoint Theory so the entire prism or lens in which you're looking at the feminism is only and specifically through the prism of
06:31:38
Kylie Hansenwomen it's looking at things through the perspective of women this would be the same as if but I will say that the have any of you guys taken like a feminist Theory course at all no I'm very
06:31:51
Brian Atlasfamiliar have you taken like a course or done like personal research personal research okay wait I I have one quick question here um you said looking at things through the lens of
06:32:03
Andrew Wilsonwomen looking at things through the perspectives of women yes that's that's what standpoint theory is standpoint theory is the prism the lens in which you're looking at the worldview in this
06:32:14
Kylie Hansencase the worldview is only coming from the perspective of women but like can this apply to math like is there a I mean if wanted it to I don't know how it would but we didn't focus on that I'm just curious I
06:32:25
Brian Atlasdon't know um I guess theoretically you could apply it to that okay and so but there is so you I mean you've taken these classes they talk about the patriarchy Theory is that correct yes they do talk about patriarchy and so
06:32:37
Brian Atlasgiven your experience in these classes how what's your sense of like can you define what that is what is the patriarchy what is the patriarchy Theory okay so the patriarchy is essentially
06:32:47
Kylie Hansenthe idea that women are inferior to men and it's a set of Notions ideas institutions that sustain this belief but I will say too these classes don't
06:32:59
Brian Atlasdemonize men I think that's a very common misconception okay I have to follow up with you on that though so you said also this uh this applied feminism thing it'll look at like Marxism for
06:33:11
Kylie Hansenexample I use that as another example of how applied Theory works I did not use Marxism in my class no that and not that's not really what I'm getting at
06:33:20
Brian Atlasbut the so my understanding with Marxism it's sort of uh it it looks at things from a lens of oppress or oppressed okay and my view my understanding of feminism
06:33:33
Brian Atlasand you mentioned patriarchy Theory isn't that precisely what patriarchy theory is that women are oppressed and men are the oppressors I think it's a little more
06:33:44
Kylie Hansencomplex than that I think it's the idea that so patriarchy isn't women being oppressed patriarchy is the idea that men are superior to
06:33:56
Kylie Hansenwomen and it's the ideas yes it leads to the oppression of women patriarchy itself is not the oppression of women patriarchy can take many different forms it's not always in the sole oppression
06:34:08
Brian Atlasof women okay but so are women oppressed under a patriarchy yes okay and who who if women as a group are oppressed there
06:34:19
Kylie Hansenmust be another group that is oppressing the women which is who it's often times men but the way that I have learned about it personally and this is my understanding of it I don't think it's
06:34:29
Andrew Wilsonyour understanding I think that are you going to say internalize massage that women have internalized let's let her finish go I would really like to not be interrupted while talking about this I know you
06:34:41
Andrew Wilsonwouldn't but I just wanted to predict it that's all you can hold your predictions until the end I appreciate goad goad well then it wouldn't be a prediction if I held it till the
06:34:50
Kylie Hansenend are you done I am thank you essentially patriarchy is a system of punishments and rewards anyone can women oppress other
06:35:01
Kylie Hansenwomen in these instances that is what toxic femininity is anyone can benefit off a system of patriarchy women will make little tiny Digs at other women and
06:35:13
Kylie Hansenthey'll gain slight respect of other men it comes in many different forms like for example like a woman just talking badly about like classic feminine traits like oh that's so girly oh I hate wearing makeup like I
06:35:26
Kylie Hansenwould never do that like women who wear makeup are insecure d d all these things when women say those things it gains the them some sort of Social Capital under a system of patriarchy anyone can benefit
06:35:38
Kylie Hansenfrom a system of patriarchy but it functions off the idea that men are superior to women so internalized misogyny not necessarily cuz it it's well if women are oppressing other women
