Walk - Istanbul - Pernicious Feminism

The fruit of Feminism has not fallen far from the tree. Those that have pushed it the most, codified it, and made it a movement are anti-family, anti-freedom, and almost always anti-God.

We play with this Philosophy of Men (Women) casually without understanding its core or goals. It has made significant headway in the church and will continue to grow.

Turkey and uh just got up a little bit

Asia and uh it's full of uh the seas
right you got Black Sea of the north the
Marmmer Sea of the South you've got the
Agent and then it comes down the side of
Turkey and then you've got the
Mediterranean right below that it's just
there's waterways everywhere it's a
beautiful amazing city just love the
city here uh by the way make sure that
you subscribe that you hit the bell and
sign up for our newsletter at
quickdia.com there at the top it's free
newsletter that gets sent out where I
write articles uh almost every week okay
so here we are by the way there's our
hotel right next to us
here uh I want to follow up a little bit
on Well first of all I've got to get
this in this episode is brought to you
by Journey of Wisdom and this is
appropriate for this topic uh Journey of
Wisdom is a cruise a Mediterranean
cruise that we take where we go to uh
Istanbul here we go to Ephesus where
Paul
uh taught and spoke and wrote to the
Ephesians uh he also
uh uh you also have John who was in
Ephesus finished off his days uh at
least call it retirement in Ephesus a
lot of teachings there from Paul and
from John we then go to the Greek isles
we go to Potmos where John received the
book of Revelation we go to Santorini uh
of course we're going to be in Athens
talking about philosophy uh nothing over
our heads i just want to go through some
things where we're basically parsing out
the philosophies of men as compared to
what is taught in the gospel so we use
Paul and John's teachings to go through
that uh and then of course we're going
to go to uh down to Cairo in Egypt where
we will talk about Abraham where he
walked down there and uh Joseph of Egypt
and Moses and their teachings and
contrast that again with the
philosophies of men rooted really out of
originally
uh Greece and then coming in through the
continental philosophy and the German
speakaking philosophers that are causing
so much havoc today in our lives for our
children and our grandchildren journey
of Wisdom will be incredible i really
hope that you can make this i'm very
excited about it this is uh coming up in
September here of
2025 you can see the water here it's
gorgeous very calm out in this area here
kind of a bay area here
um Istanbul's
amazing all right philosophies of men
feminism that's what I want to go into
right now i did a walk just a few days
ago in Cairo and uh I was talking about
this but you know feminism is a very
dicey it's it's a very pernitious
ideology and it is something that has
been carried through consistently with
the philosophies of men in the religion
of academia they love it and why do they
love it because it turns the family
upside down i want to go over some
things some nuances with feminism that
come up often and and how we need to
address this I believe but we have a
uh starting off with the idea that well
yeah I'm a feminist i'm just not like
that feminist i'm not that kind of
feminist down below right with the thing
that starts everything and turns
everything is hardcore feminism radical
feminism that is a hatred of men it is a
hatred of family and it wants to turn
the family order on its head and it's
being very very very very successful our
fertility rate in the west is
dropping incredibly and it is by far the
biggest threat to western civilization
more than Putin more than North Korea
more than more than China uh more than
Iran more than all of these things it is
the greatest threat to the west and we
are going to
implode it is it is an economic issue
very important and that's what most
people will tell you about uh but it is
also crucially an emotional and a
spiritual
issue families are what create bonds
family are what create uh conscientious
people they create people that are
dependent
interdependent and leaders and and built
in a home that helps to bring people
into a position of of being good people
as they have to stretch for others and
learn to live with others and love
others and and we're going through a a
crisis here really that is easily the
biggest issue it's not the worry
about too much population what are we
going to do how are we going to feed
these people that is not the
case it is just the opposite and and
we've been fed lies
forever um so that's one of the issues
with feminism down here at the bottom it
hates men it hates families it it and
and ultimately it comes down to power
it ultimately comes down to power
because it's it's a it's more of an
issue of wanting to force things it is
more of an issue of just watching this
fish
here down in the water if you can still
see it if it surfaces again
there very clear waters here looking
down here
so this is uh this is the one of the
things that
uh we deal with and these philosophies
come all the way through i mean look
through the continental philosophy and
what happens here it's not a liberation
of women it's the exact
opposite where you have the teachers
that have go all the way back from Kant
and Hegel and went into Marx and going
into angles wow angles is unbelievable
and coming up through the Frankfurt
school and coming up through all those
who want to push a hard leftist agenda i
want to qualify something here people on
the hard right have issues also and
maybe I'll touch on that here for a
second but it is the hard left that
pushes this and it always has and the
idea of promiscuity and sexual freedom
uh the LGBTQ agenda not the individuals
necessarily but the agenda of that is
all right in line with
feminism because it is a destruction of
family that's what it looks
for so saying "Yeah I'm not that kind of
feminist i'm just a feminist that wants
equal opportunity." Well everybody wants
equal opportunity very few people that
don't want women to have equal
opportunity i do i've got a wife that is
extremely
successful and and does an amazing job
out in the workplace now she stayed home
during most of our children's being
brought up that was a choice that she
and I agreed on we both wanted that it's
one of the reasons that we worked things
out so well uh with our marriage and we
both wanted that that was really
important to us
and that's a choice so if feminism comes
in and says "No she shouldn't do that."
Look at all the opportunity that you
have to have a career to
um bring yourself up in the corporate
ladder to build a business whatever that
is it's like wait a
minute she does have that choice she did
have that choice we chose something
different so if there is an influence to
pull her away from that from being a
mother a stay-at-home
mother
then that's a problem then there's an
agenda in place it's not about throwing
off the shackles of the patriarchy it's
not about uh
um you know
choice it's about get out of the family
stay away from the family and you got to
think about that you've got to be able
to parse that out i want my two
daughters to have amazing opportunities
for education and for work if that's
what they ended up choosing if that's
what they and their partners or husbands
decide that that's what they want to do
um both of my daughters have gone
through a higher
education
and so I want that there and I want them
to have that information and that
knowledge to be able to pass on to their
children also I want them to have the
backdrop if they do stay at home that
they've got something that they can lean
on i want them to have the options the
options need to be there but wow what
are we doing these days with family even
within the church we're afraid to talk
about this
sometimes where it's like this is
important right a stay-at-home mom to me
is the ideal i'm not saying it always
works there are some women that just man
they're going to go nuts if they if they
can't do it i if they can't get out of
the house if they can't push forward and
you have some women that are very
successful and they have lots of kids
and they're high very high capacity
women and they're telling all the other
women "You can have it all you can have
it all."
Um well they might do a better job of
that but I'm sorry there is sacrifice to
that if you are not home with the
children and bringing them up I'm sorry
there's a sacrifice there now maybe
that's what's going to be work best with
your with you maybe you're going to be
it's going to be too much on you to be
home i I'm not judging that but the
ideal the ideal that as an overall
society I think we need to push for is a
family with a mother closely tied to her
children and and oh I don't and and and
wanting to have several children
hopefully if she's capable if she's
capable uh and I mean that both
physically and
emotionally you don't want to force
people to have kids that aren't ready
for it or can't do
it that's not a good
idea but what is the ideal for society
and are we building our society around
that idea of building up building up a
family another thing on feminism and I
don't I looked this up if I don't have
all my notes with me
um on uh it's it's on the studio
computer
but women that are married and have kids
are the happiest women in the world and
you're going to hear lie after lie after
lie after lie about
this some random test or something a
survey that doesn't say this it's not
true
the the women that have kids and that
are married are the happiest women in
the
world
and we need to get that message out
there consistently especially to our
daughters and our grandkids our
granddaughters and this is this is uh
shown everywhere social study after
social study after social study i had
somebody respond to me when I put this
on
X and they're like "Yeah okay some BYU
survey that the LDS church backed up and
put money into tells you these things no
I mean it might i I haven't seen it i
haven't seen a family survey in years
from from BYU but no I'm talking about
Pew right i'm talking about high-end
Rasmus i'm talking about high or uh
high-end
uh survey companies right social data
companies that polling companies that
are not biased toward building up
children in fact maybe the
opposite and that's the way that this is
this is
not Got to stop telling these lies to
these girls i
was oh at a at
a at a graduation a a
uh one of my kids was graduating from
ASU and there's this group of girls that
are kind of next to us and they're
talking about what they're going to do
and one of the I think it was a dad of
one of the girls these friends uh says
so what are you going to do you know
going from here you you planning on ever
getting married or having kids and and
she was just astounding that that was
even something he would bring up and
she's like "No I don't need a man."
Right this is something she's been told
by her professors obviously i don't need
or a mother but probably professors "I
don't need a man." Right what do I need
a man for i can have a kid without a man
i can have a job without a man i can
live without a
man and that's what's being
taught and and and and it's concerning
so
feminism tied in very strongly with hard
leftism it's never that'll never go
away is the object of power pride and
anti-f family that is what it fights for
constantly so if you are just saying
well I just want I I'm a feminist but
just because I want the equality of
women well first of all most everything
about the equality of women is has
shifted where they are in in in in the
power
position and I could go through all of
that whether it is job opportunity
whether it is uh options and choices the
reason for the pay gap has nothing to do
with male oppression
zero zero
the reason for pay gap is because most
women are are not as aggressive in
their in their in their
uh desire for a hardcore career of 70 80
hours a week the reason for a pay gap
women get paid up until I think it's the
age of 32 or 33 maybe it's even moved up
from there more than men do when they go
out for a
job it switches shortly somewhere in the
mid-30s
why because women have
children and all of a sudden they're
like I'm either quitting my job or I'm
reducing the hours or I don't want to be
CEO of this company and give up my kids
that's
okay right that's okay
now on the opposite side of
this would be a masculinity men that
are that are overbearing and they are
oppressive to their wives and they are
uh controlling and they are you know
it's not that women aren't this way
either they are sometimes but there are
men like this and those examples are
used for saying something about the
patriarchy or about oppression or
women's position in the world and
um that does exist and that is an issue
and I think one of the great ways to
look at this from both men and women is
the way that Mormon
juxtaposes King Benjamin and King
Noah now I' I've been in Egypt for a
couple of months and one of the places
you can go to is Abu Sel it's out on
Lake Na Nasser it's uh right on the Nile
there amazing amazing place and inside
there in kind of the Holy of Holies area
you have three gods and Ramsy's I
Pharaoh and Ramsey's I puts himself up
as equal to God right same height a lot
of the places a lot of the pharaohs in
in these temples and structures will put
them up a little bit higher than
everybody else and they're a little bit
lower than the
gods um Ramse's got himself right there
with with the gods even right very
boastful very proud makes himself a
god and this is King Noah this is who he
is he's going to be above God he's going
to break the commandments he's going to
get rid of Christ which is what he does
read that closely he's getting rid of
Christ at Benadai's trying to bring that
back
and it's pride he's up above everything
whereas you have King Benjamin who is
the king he's in charge but he's a
servant king he's going to rule and lead
with love and service and condescension
kind of essentially being the Lord
himself below all of his citizens to to
bring them up and focused on Christ
focused on Christian principles of
sacrifice and
charity and so you have these two
different
sides
feminism is not going to go
away feminism is crushing our society in
the West it really is
and
it's I I I I I am concerned because
within the church we've stopped we kind
of go along with it it's like oh yeah
okay I'm a feminist that's okay that
that aligns with my church that aligns
with my doctrine even if it's like
feminism
light think about where that fruit fell
from what tree that fruit fell from
wanting equal opportunity is not really
feminism it's a way of saying feminism
is
okay feminism is a pernicious ideology
from people who have always it comes
from people that have always been anti-f
family and
anti-man and honestly
anti-freedom and if you study these
individuals that have pushed this see
what they have to say about family and
actually about women about kids I think
you'd be shocked that hardly anybody
reads the philosophies of men that have
led us to where we are
today but that's all there very simple
to see what they want they are almost
all throw off the shackles of sexual
identity throw off the shackles of any
kind of of of
uh sexual constraint and and
order but women must
be
promiscuous we have to have that they're
locked in to their husband and their
kids away from sexual freedom if they
get married and have kids who wants that
taking away all her her her choices and
options of of being uh free
right ultimately that's where it goes
ultimately that's where it
leads and when you add in
the biggest technological advance of
mankind I believe the pill coming in in
the late 50s early
60s everything changed that sexual that
that drove the sexual revolution sex
drugs and rock and roll and it has made
a massive change now I'm not here to
start talking about
um birth control
but it took the consequences the natural
consequences away from being
prosperous and that changed everything
that changed our entire society at that
point
feminism kills feminism destroys
families feminism tries to put
ultimately women above every everything
else everybody else their husband their
families
etc we should have a better way
of communicating with each other than
working through a filter
of victim and oppressor
it's a horrific dynamic and people that
fall prey to a world view of victim and
oppressor their lives fall
apart it's like the most
ingenious virus spiritual dark virus
that has ever come out and they've just
gotten better and better and better at
it the the adversity
the adversary has just gotten better and
better and better at this like a virus
that continues to
mutate using different words and
different tugging on different
heartstrings and different emotions
and it's not a good thing it's not a
good thing think
twice about
feminism can't wait for the comments on
this one thanks for listening
