00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:02,440
Welcome to Keith knight don't 
tread on anyone in the 

2
00:00:02,440 --> 00:00:05,800
libertarian institute. 
Here is Thomas soul's challenge 

3
00:00:05,800 --> 00:00:09,600
to feminists. 
Radical feminists seem to assume

4
00:00:09,800 --> 00:00:14,840
that men are hostile to women, 
but what would they say to the 

5
00:00:14,840 --> 00:00:19,680
fact that most of the women on 
the Titanic were saved and most 

6
00:00:19,680 --> 00:00:24,400
of the men perished due to rules
written by men and enforced by 

7
00:00:24,400 --> 00:00:28,520
men on the sinking ship? 
Could you imagine if society had

8
00:00:28,560 --> 00:00:32,159
a general motto that you should 
never hit a white person? 

9
00:00:32,840 --> 00:00:36,320
You would obviously see that as 
totally bigoted and explicitly 

10
00:00:36,320 --> 00:00:39,080
racist. 
Any society that says you should

11
00:00:39,080 --> 00:00:43,280
never hit a woman, it's not a 
great indicator that they are 

12
00:00:43,280 --> 00:00:46,920
actively sexist against women. 
Anytime there's an emergency and

13
00:00:46,920 --> 00:00:50,960
people say women and children 
first, well that discriminates. 

14
00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:55,720
Any society where men only have 
been conscripted into military 

15
00:00:55,720 --> 00:00:58,800
service to get their limbs blown
off and to get killed by the 

16
00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:03,440
literal millions is not a 
society where the primary issue 

17
00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:07,280
is sexism against women. 
Seoul goes on to address the 

18
00:01:07,440 --> 00:01:11,800
gender pay gap myth. 
The most important reason why 

19
00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:15,120
women earn less than men is not 
that they are paid less for 

20
00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:18,600
doing the very same work, but 
that they are distributed 

21
00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:23,280
differently among jobs and have 
fewer hours and less continuity 

22
00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:26,720
in the labor force Among college
educated, never married 

23
00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:32,320
individuals with no children who
work full time and we're from 40

24
00:01:32,320 --> 00:01:35,600
to 64 years old. 
That is beyond childbearing 

25
00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:38,440
years. 
Men average $40,000 a year in 

26
00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:41,560
income while women averaged 
47,000. 

27
00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:45,920
Also, you would never expect 
people doing the same work to 

28
00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:49,520
get paid equally. 
If both LeBron James and I play 

29
00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:53,680
basketball for one hour, you 
would not expect him and I to be

30
00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:57,360
compensated the same. 
If both Chris Rock and I get up 

31
00:01:57,360 --> 00:02:00,760
on stage and talk for an hour, 
you would not expect us to be 

32
00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:04,720
compensated equally. 
If both Mila Kunis and I started

33
00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:09,120
and only fans separately, would 
you expect her and I to have 

34
00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:11,680
equal incomes? 
No, of course not. 

35
00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:16,840
If both Meryl Streep and I 
decided to be actors in a movie 

36
00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:20,800
that was two hours long and we 
had the same number of lines and

37
00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:24,920
it took the same exact amount of
time for us to read the lines 

38
00:02:24,920 --> 00:02:27,880
and develop the character, would
you expect us to get paid the 

39
00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:30,960
same? 
What if I did 50 movies and she 

40
00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:33,240
did 1? 
You would still expect her to 

41
00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:36,560
get more because we create 
different levels of value. 

42
00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:40,240
Here is Doctor Michael Humor 
from the University of Boulder, 

43
00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:45,360
Co in his book Progressive Myths
on the Disparity Between the 

44
00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:48,280
Genders. 
Consider another even more 

45
00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:52,640
shocking disproportion. 
Males make up only 50% of the 

46
00:02:52,640 --> 00:02:58,200
population, but 95.5% of police 
shooting victims. 

47
00:02:58,640 --> 00:03:03,000
Men are thus 21 times more 
likely to be shot by police than

48
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:04,760
women. 
One could claim that this 

49
00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:08,760
indicates an extraordinary 
degree of sexism, many times 

50
00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:11,880
worse than the racism shown by 
police departments. 

51
00:03:12,640 --> 00:03:17,560
It turns out men have roughly 
1517 times as much testosterone 

52
00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:20,600
as women and are more violent 
than women. 

53
00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:25,680
That explains the disparity. 
Their drive to attract the 

54
00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:29,560
opposite sex comes from them 
wanting to earn more money and 

55
00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:32,560
attracting with their resources 
and personality, whereas women 

56
00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:34,200
tend to attract with their 
looks. 

57
00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:38,760
There's nothing sexist or 
nefarious or terrible about this

58
00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:42,280
disparity, Humor says in a later
section of the book. 

59
00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:46,440
It is common to lament how most 
of the jobs with the highest 

60
00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:50,400
income, status and power jobs, 
such as CEO or US senator, are 

61
00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:53,920
male dominated. 
We attend less often to 

62
00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:58,120
society's worst jobs, but nearly
all of the worst and most 

63
00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:01,120
dangerous jobs in America. 
Garbage collector, roofer, 

64
00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:05,520
construction worker, and so on 
are also overwhelmingly male 

65
00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:08,240
dominated. 
For example, the most dangerous 

66
00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:13,320
legal job in America, 
lumberjack, is about 95% staffed

67
00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:16,079
by men. 
As a result of this pattern, men

68
00:04:16,079 --> 00:04:20,959
suffer over 90% of all workplace
deaths in America each year. 

69
00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:24,080
This is not an indication of 
patriarchy. 

70
00:04:24,280 --> 00:04:28,320
It is an indication that men 
are, on average, willing to do 

71
00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:32,640
more for money than women are. 
Michael Humor summarizes the 

72
00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:37,240
research of Warren Farrell in 
his book Why Men Earn More. 

73
00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:41,600
He is a political scientist. 
Farrell identifies 25 things 

74
00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:45,840
that tend to get an employee 
more pay, though some of these 

75
00:04:45,840 --> 00:04:48,760
are redundant. 
According to Farrell, 1 can be 

76
00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:52,720
expected to be paid more money 
for one. 

77
00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:57,240
Working in technology or the 
hard sciences rather than arts 

78
00:04:57,240 --> 00:05:00,600
or social sciences. 
Working in a dangerous field 

79
00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:04,280
such as the military. 
Being exposed to whether rather 

80
00:05:04,280 --> 00:05:07,920
than working indoors. 
Taking a job from which you 

81
00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:10,800
can't psychologically check out 
at the end of the day. 

82
00:05:11,280 --> 00:05:14,760
Taking a less fulfilling job. 
Taking higher financial and 

83
00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:18,120
emotional risks. 
Working undesirable hours. 

84
00:05:18,280 --> 00:05:20,960
Working in unpleasant 
environments or with little 

85
00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:23,520
human contact. 
Updating your skills for the 

86
00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:26,320
latest market needs. 
Choosing the most lucrative 

87
00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:30,080
subfield within your field. 
Working longer hours. 

88
00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:33,600
Having more years of experience 
in your current occupation. 

89
00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:37,760
Having more years of recent 
uninterrupted experience with 

90
00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:40,560
your current employer. 
Working more weeks of the year. 

91
00:05:40,840 --> 00:05:42,880
Being less absent often from 
work. 

92
00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:46,840
Commuting farther. 
Relocating at the company's 

93
00:05:46,840 --> 00:05:49,120
behest. 
Traveling extensively for the 

94
00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:50,600
job. 
Taking on different 

95
00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:53,640
responsibilities from others 
with your job title. 

96
00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:56,480
Taking on bigger 
responsibilities from others 

97
00:05:56,600 --> 00:05:59,600
with your job title. 
Accepting less security. 

98
00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:02,480
Having more training in your 
current occupation. 

99
00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:04,840
Starting with higher career 
goals. 

100
00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:09,880
Doing more in depth job searches
and being more productive. 

101
00:06:10,280 --> 00:06:14,040
So the feminist conspiracy 
theory does not explain the 

102
00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:18,440
white male the straight white 
male pay gap. 

103
00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:20,520
Some straight white men are 
homeless. 

104
00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:22,600
Some straight white men are 
millionaires. 

105
00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:25,920
Warren Farrell's research 
explains why some people get 

106
00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:28,480
paid more than others. 
Then you see immediately why 

107
00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:31,720
Asians earn more than whites on 
average, Why Nigerian immigrants

108
00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:34,600
earn more than whites on 
average, Why older people tend 

109
00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:37,760
to earn more money than younger 
people on average. 

110
00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:43,160
The concept of there being a 
patriarchy is so shallow. 

111
00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:46,560
It just takes an arbitrary 
characteristic of a ruling 

112
00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:49,120
class. 
Doesn't say if the ruling that 

113
00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:52,520
they're doing is beneficial, if 
the ruling is too costly, if 

114
00:06:52,520 --> 00:06:54,880
it's morally just, if it's 
inherently immoral. 

115
00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:58,800
It just says there are men 
disproportionately there and 

116
00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:01,520
women are 90% of preschool 
teachers. 

117
00:07:01,840 --> 00:07:05,360
That doesn't tell us anything 
about why they're attracted to 

118
00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:08,880
the job or the benefits people 
are reaping from their 

119
00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:12,280
employment. 
It is literally like saying we 

120
00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:16,080
live in a Jewarchy where a 
Jewish people have a 

121
00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:19,680
disproportionate amount of high 
positions and influence within 

122
00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:24,000
society and what they end up 
doing is making laws and 

123
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:27,000
crafting them in such a way that
benefit themselves at the 

124
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:29,760
expense of the masses. 
So we really need to watch out 

125
00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:32,920
for the Jewarchy. 
That is how ridiculous the 

126
00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:36,280
concept of patriarchy is.
