THE TRUE ORIGINS OF FEMINISM...

LOCALS QUESTIONS ANSWERED!

Hey Stef, when evaluating people's love for me, can you elaborate on what exactly "their love for me" looks like?

You mentioned recently that you "had a long way to go" after asking us "what are the ways a woman shows a man she loves him?" and I found myself puzzling it out after.

If "love" is our involuntary response to virtue if we are virtuous, then our perception of love towards us would be: involuntary responses.

Which could include lust but would really be an entire lifetime of the woman's responses, given that we as the man are virtuous ourselves over that lifetime.

And I feel like I'm really close to circular reasoning in this definition, except, as a man, in being virtuous I would only be in a relationship with a similarly worshipful woman whose love "required" my own "involuntariness" towards her as well.

So what would your answer be to the question: how does a woman show a man that she love's him?

Bitcoin question.

Why aren't parallel economy businesses transacting in Bitcoin? Isn't transitioning onto Bitcoin the best thing we could be doing to divest from the federal reserve and defang the state? Is it just that people are stupid and don't get it? The only credible answer I can think of could be that it could be hard to do taxes maybe?

Hi stef, could you please expound on what is and isn't prostitution, relating to marriage ?

My friend's mom got pregnant by his bio-dad, then left him for an older guy who raised my friend.

She then divorced his new dad to sleep around and when she couldn't find a man who makes more money she came back to his dad.

Thank you.

Do you think it's beneficial in any way to keep kids innocent and naive as long as possible? For example, keeping the magic of Santa Claus and the Tooth Fairy alive opposed to telling them they aren't real?

Given a family with a cowardly father and a domineering mother, do you think that this is a breeding ground for feminist daughters? I was on a date with a girl a while ago who told me that her mother was viciously verbally abusive towards her, but that her father was 'very supportive' of her, teaching her things like how to paint her nails. In a follow-up conversation, she told me that I was being disrespectful to women because I said I am not a feminist.

This is interesting to me because I have often heard it said that staunch feminist women often come from households where the father is actively abusive while the mother is cowardly. You can see this borne out in the early life of the feminist Shulamith Firestone. However, could the opposite scenario, where the mother is the actively abusive parent, produce a feminist for a different reason?

Her father had the power to intervene in the abuse but did nothing. My hypothesis is that in this woman's mind, with her father as evidence, men do not deserve the larger share of corporate, political, and cultural power they wield in the world because they are cowards who don't act to solve the world's problems (which she would define as racism, sexism, homophobia etc.). Therefore, feminism: "women need to occupy 50% of the positions in every power structure" presumably to act as a check on the power of men who are, in her view, derelict in their duties.

Additionally, given that her father did not use his position of power to protect his daughter, then in her mind there's no evidence that men have earned their power in the world; the only reason that men could have more power than women is because of a male conspiracy against women.

Women's Peak Sexual Beauty! Twitter/X Space

Twitter Space 22 July 2025

In this episode, I explore the complexities of female sexual beauty and its evolutionary ties to modern dating dynamics. I discuss the brief window of peak beauty relevant to attracting mates and the pressures women face regarding attractiveness in today's society. Through personal reflections and listener comments, I examine the emotional challenges of seeking genuine connections amid transactional relationships. Additionally, I address the impact of changing social systems on commitment and accountability, inviting listeners to reflect on societal values, personal growth, and the nuances of love in the contemporary landscape.

The Salvations of Philosophy! Twitter Response

Follow me on X! https://x.com/stefanmolyneux

In this lecture, Stefan Molyneux examines the theme of indifference among Christians during his childhood experiences of violence and trauma. He highlights the contradictions between Christian moral teachings and the inaction of those professing these values, reflecting on a pervasive neglect he encountered from supportive figures. Molyneux discusses the challenge of evil as a critical issue for humanity, arguing that both religious frameworks and atheistic nihilism fall short in addressing this problem. He introduces his ethical system of Universally Preferable Behavior (UPB), which aims to provide an objective moral foundation independent of religious beliefs or governmental authority. Central to his discussion is the protection of children, with Molyneux critiquing existing moral and educational systems for failing to ensure their safety. He concludes by urging exploration of concepts like peaceful parenting and UPB as pathways to a more moral ...

NEW PREVIEW FOR SUPPORTERS - What Has Replaced GOD? Twitter/X Space

Subscribers get early previews for shows!

Sunday Evening FLASH Twitter Space 6 July 2025

In this episode, I explore the interplay between societal expectations and the ethics of action in an imperfect world. I challenge the belief that we must wait for ideal conditions to engage, advocating for direct action in addressing real issues. Drawing on personal experiences and professional insights, I highlight the pitfalls of striving for perfection and the importance of measurable impacts in philanthropy.

The discussion touches on the concept of a "mystery religion" in modern culture, critiquing blind faith in authority. I encourage listeners to confront difficult questions about their beliefs and responsibilities, emphasizing the need for ongoing dialogue and critical engagement to navigate life's complexities with integrity.
