Charlie Kirk:反复强调女权主义追求平等,但许多自称女权主义的女性嘉宾反对女性服兵役,这存在矛盾。他认为,如果支持性别平等,就应该支持女性服兵役,并就女性在战争中的作用、社会责任等方面与嘉宾展开讨论。他还批评了第三波女权主义,认为其贬低了生育和家庭主妇的角色,并与跨性别运动相结合,否认了男女之间的生物学差异。 多位女性嘉宾:部分嘉宾认为现代女权主义的一些观点并不认同,并表示自己并非女权主义者;部分嘉宾对女权主义持中立态度;部分嘉宾认为女性应该有平等的机会,但在征兵问题上,许多嘉宾从生理、心理、社会影响等方面表达了反对意见,认为女性服兵役对战争帮助不大,甚至会对社会造成负面影响,例如人口减少等。一些嘉宾认为,如果女性参军,应该在非前线作战的岗位上发挥作用。部分嘉宾认为,即使是女权主义者,也不必认同所有女权主义观点,例如强制征兵。

Hey, everybody. I recently went back on the show Whatever, which is quite an interesting show with mostly female guests and a male host, some of which that are involved in some rather not so great things. They post...

naked pictures of themselves online, all that weird stuff. Anyway, we talked about first, should women sign up for the draft? It's quite an amazing dialogue. Enjoy this little window into the mind of the American liberal female. And as always, you can email us freedom at charliekirk.com.

Charlie, what you've done is incredible here. Maybe Charlie Kirk is on the college campus.

I want you to know we are lucky to have Charlie Kirk. Charlie Kirk's running the White House, folks. I want to thank Charlie. He's an incredible guy. His spirit, his love of this country. He's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created, Turning Point USA. We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country. That's why we are here.

Do you consider yourself a feminist, starting with you? Go ahead.

I feel like that word has been so misconstrued. For example, feminism has given rights to even men who have had SA in the past and they're able to speak up on it now. Feminism? Feminism...

Oh, okay. I got it. Yeah. I'm just trying to keep up with the lingo. Yeah. So men who have experienced that, you know, women at one point weren't able to visit the hospital without their husband. And now it's given patient privacy in the sense that... Wait, women... Hold on. Women were not allowed to...

Get health care from a hospital. Without their male counterpart present. They had like a limb chopped off back in the farming days or something.

I'm sure they had emergencies. They couldn't go to a hospital. I'm sure they had emergency, but like in terms of checkups. This is a new feminist talking point I've heard, that women were barred from getting treated by a doctor in a hospital. Without a man? Yeah. So I think it's called patient privacy rights. I think you just kind of manifested this out of nowhere. Oh, no. I like searched it up before I got here. Women were barred from getting medical care. Yes. That's a new feminist talking point. Okay. However...

Let me finish. Go ahead. Just that one point. I don't believe in a lot of modern feminist ideals. I don't think men are worse than women. I don't think women are better than men, all that stuff. So do you consider yourself a feminist? Honestly, at this point in time, no. Okay. What about you? That was a nice, easy answer, yes. Okay. I think I'm just neutral on that topic. Okay.

Well, you got it. Okay. You kind of didn't want to react to the clip there. You're neutral. Okay. Let me ask you a question to perhaps help things along. Do you believe in a patriarchy? That there is a patriarchy? Into the mic if you can. Oh, I don't know. You don't know? Did you take any like feminist studies or sociology classes in university? No. Okay. Do you think men run America? No. Okay. No.

Do you... I don't know. I mean, I guess there's more, like, men, like, in positions. I guess there's more men, like, in position. Okay, and do you think that that's a problem? Do you think there should be a movement towards egalitarianism? Equalizing it, yeah. I think it could go both ways. Like, if a woman wants to step up, then... Sure. Yeah. It's a bit of a non-answer, but so...

Do you think there ought to be a movement towards egalitarianism and equality in all realms? And do you think the current social order, at least through the feminist standpoint of there's this patriarchy, do you think we ought to dismantle a patriarchy if there is one? I mean, I think in the end, like it could be equal, but I don't know. Okay. What about you?

So can we define what you're using the word feminist? My understanding was that women should have equal access...

rights and pursuit of happiness sort of thing, but I could be wrong on my definition. Oh yeah, there's different. There's second and third way feminism. Yeah, there's different. First, second, and third way. I can define it if you want. Yeah, absolutely. Thank you. Yeah, so first way feminism would be like the Equal Rights Amendment. No, I'm going back for that. Universal suffrage, that women should be able to vote. Second way feminism was like Gloria Steinem, where she wrote The Feminist Mystique, where she was

rather nasty in her writing saying that women are in a prison cell called the home and barefoot and pregnant but that led to a lot of women in the workforce and a lot of career advancement for women for positive or negative. Third way feminism is that any inequity that we see between men or women is inherently wrong so that for example if you have modeling women should not earn more than men and what men should not earn more than women.

If there's any inequity, third-wave feminism is very much as... I forgot your name, I'm sorry. Karina. Karina, you said it's rooted in a hatred of men more than the advancement of women. That's third-wave feminism. Second-wave feminism is more of a critique that...

child rearing, nuclear family development, those things are largely negative and that women should be allowed to be liberated beyond that. I'm generalizing, but that's first, second, and third wave feminism. So first wave feminism goes back to the passing of universal suffrage and all that. So I hope that's helpful. Thank you. Thanks. I didn't know the history well enough. Hating men is wrong and stupid. We need them. If you don't like them, we need them. So that's weird. Yeah.

And then I think it's a shame if anybody, I like a world where people can do what they want. And that's a shame if people have been told that being a stay-at-home mother, all these other things, having children is lesser than. Because it's not. It's just different. And it's not lesser than. So I believe that's wrong too. So I guess it would be a no. Can I ask a question? Do you guys think that women, if we were to get into a war, should be enlisted in the draft? No. Does anybody think you should?

Because this is currently being debated in front of the Congress right now, the Senate. Senate Democrats are pushing to say that men and women, if we were to get into a time of a draft, which we had back in Vietnam, both should be drafted into war.

Does anyone think that that should happen? That's how the Israeli army operates. It's true. Right? But they don't necessarily put them at the front lines. Well, I think Charlie was speaking about the United States. I know. But no, you're right. The IDF does have it. Yeah, I'm comparing two together. I wouldn't want to personally. Okay, good. How about war or no war? No war. I can get back to you. Why are you torn?

I mean, are they going to pass the same physical standards? Because then there'll just be fewer of them because of virtual structural dimorphism. They're accommodated for...

female fitness standards. When military activity requires less physical strength, it is more sort of hacking and flying drones from a building. Perhaps the women's military service could be different. But does anyone think that women should be sheltered from the horrors of war and men should lead into the nastiest, ugliest things for society on behalf of society? It's a big question. It's actively being debated right now. And the reason I ask is because

Feminism, if it's implemented at its core premise, is they want equal outcomes but then also equal treatment, which is that if we go to war, women have to go storm Normandy Beach next time too, not just men. I want you guys to answer that question, but let's actually get the answer to are you a feminist. I think so. Okay. Did you answer this, yes or no? We can just get a yes or no. Yeah. I don't know if you answered it. No. No, not a feminist. No.

Yes. A little louder, please. Yes. Yeah. No. I am not a feminist. Not a feminist. Charlie, feminist? Whatever the opposite is, that's what I am. Okay. I mean, I love women, and I think women have a beautiful place to play in society, but especially third-wave feminism is a toxin on society. I think also the degradation of stay-at-home motherhood has been really, really dangerous and destructive for our society. It should be celebrated as an option for women. Sure.

And back to Charlie's question. So going around the table. So this is something that's currently being contemplated. I think so. My understanding is there are also instead of men having to register for the Selective Service, they're just automatically. Yeah. So that's right. Everyone automatically gets enrolled, male or female. Male and female. And it passed the House, but it goes to the. Well, they're debating it in the Senate Armed Services Committee. And it very well might pass, which is just I'm just curious what young ladies think.

of the perspective of maybe having to go into the military at a time of war. So the question is, do you think women ought to be drafted

Or protected from the draft, which would be my position. A lot of conflict going on. So do you think women ought to be subject to forced military conscription, a.k.a. the draft, a.k.a. the selective service? We'll just go around the table. What about you? I wouldn't say... Can you strain your mic a little bit? Sure. I wouldn't say that they should. However, perhaps they have to have a more concrete role in their place, either at home or...

if they choose to serve the country, to do it in a way where it's not at the front lines.

Can I interrupt? But the front lines argument, I think, is a little bit disingenuous because a drone operator is not the front lines, but you could kill more people as a drone operator than being on the front lines. So the question is, should we shield women from the ugliest front line massacre situations that we can imagine? I would say to reach optimal results, if we're speaking on war, then yes. Okay. Yes, women should be drafted? Yes.

Yes, we should shield women from the draft. I want you also to think beyond results, too. Do we have a moral obligation to protect women from bullets, missiles and artillery shells? It's an interesting question. I mean, I'm not the missiles.

The other stuff I'm fine with, but the missiles, I think they can get the missiles. Go ahead. I don't think women should be drafted because at the end of the day, it wouldn't really help the war in any much way. Like you said, the drone... Whoa, that's a really sexist statement of you to make. No, because I'm making frontline physical...

You know what I mean? Whereas if you're saying, oh, should they have a place in the war? Yeah, I feel like if a woman wants to be able to be in the war. We're talking about force though, right? Yeah, no force. But if a woman, I feel like they definitely have a role in the war. A good, smart, intelligent woman can definitely advance the war for our side. But you shouldn't just draft any and every woman in the terms of equality, you know? Wait, you shouldn't? Yes. Wouldn't that not be equality then? Yeah, it wouldn't be equality in terms of a war. But I'm okay with that. But didn't you say you were a feminist? Yes.

Yeah, I say that's an easy answer. I'm a feminist. But like he said, there's so many conditions. Yeah, there's so many nuances and so many things with feminism where I don't agree with everything he like. If he says, are you that type of feminist that he just described? No, of course not. Wait, which the type of feminist that's for actual equality, like the third wave? Yeah, I'm not third wave or even second wave to its fullest extent. What about the feminists that in pursuit of equality want women to be drafted?

Which is very few, I think, to be honest. Yeah. It's mostly men that are actually pushing for it in the Democrat party. Yeah, exactly. I don't think many women want that either. Okay. And by the way, just to sort of interrupt, I don't mean to interrupt. The women of America are largely silent on this. And for as much people hate Donald Trump, he was the one that said women will never be drafted. All right. I need to tell you guys about Strong Cell. It's amazing. With nearly a million units bought by you.

It is more clear than ever that strong cell works. It works to combat fatigue, brain fog, joint pain, skin issues, and constant sickness. I've been taking it personally for over a year now, and it's changed my life.

I take it in the morning with breakfast and it helps me with natural energy so I don't have that afternoon crash. And it gives me the clarity of mind to do all that I do every day, which is a lot. If you're tired of feeling tired, struggling with memory, or constantly getting sick, then you have to give Strong Cell a try. I love this product because it has NAD. By the way, fact check me on this. Go do your own research on NADH, especially if it's mixed with CoQ10 and marine collagen.

Strong Cell uses a proprietary delivery of NADH to make sure it goes straight to your cells to help your mitochondria.

And since there are cells in every area of your body, then healthier cells equals a healthier you. The amount of people that use Strong Cell now, thanks to us, is remarkable. Over 1 million units sold. Don't take my word for it. Do your own research. Check it out. Fact check me. Oh, Charlie's just selling me a product. Okay. Maybe you don't want more mental acuity. People say, Charlie, how do you do what you do? Maybe it's the NAD that I take.

It's changed the lives of many Kirk listeners. Visit strongcell.com forward slash Charlie and use my discount code Charlie to get 20% off your order. This is an emerging body of work and science that is showing that NAD and NADH really might be what your body needs in this contaminated, polluted, and poisoned world. Again, that's strongcell.com.

Just going around the table, do you think women should be subject to military conscription? That's the original. I think if they have attributes that will proceed, then I think they should.

But if it's... Well, it would just be a blanket general draft. So, like, you're 20, correct? You're eligible. You would be eligible for the draft. Yeah, like, if I wanted to then. Not if you wanted to. But, like, being forced? Yeah, forced. In Vietnam or World War II, every person, every able-bodied person. How would you feel about going to war? I mean, like, I wouldn't want to, but... Like, if we go to war with Kazakhstan tomorrow, you're there. You're in Kazakhstan. Yo.

Are you? I'm with Becky. Oh, okay. Wait, is there a conflict? No, it's just funny. Oh, okay. It was so random. I don't know. I didn't want to... Anyways. Yeah, that was pretty politically neutral, I guess. Sorry, what was that, Nick? You wanted to pull something up? But so, yes in favor of the draft for women or no, not in favor? I just think if everyone does go to war, then, like, everyone goes to war. Okay. What about you? I look at it from a biological standpoint, like...

If you think about animal husbandry, after war, you tend to need to repopulate, right? You have a lot of death. Yeah. So sperm is abundant. Uterus is busy for about a year, a little less, right? So when you do animal husbandry, you tend to need more females than a male. Oddly, we have a 50-50 sex ratio. I don't think anybody really understands why because it probably shouldn't be. But that said, I think losing uteruses to war death is probably long-term more damaging for our society. So even if you...

hate men, like men, hate women, love women, you probably don't want to sacrifice the uterus people when you're going to need them. The uterus people. The women, right? Because you're going to need them to repopulate. So I would not like a female draft. Well, let's assume like the draft, you know, on a micro level, I think that argument makes sense. But on the macro level, what's 50,000? You know?

And you're a pilot. You'd be front-line bombing. Yeah. Just dropping them from above. But let me ask you, would you feel as if it's consistent with your nature to get in a plane and drop bombs? No. I would not enjoy that. If I was drafted and it was my service, I would do it because I love my country. But I would prefer not to.

Well, there's been an attack on the whatever podcast. They had female pilots. You know about the night witches in Russia? Oh, yeah, no. We've done it when we as humanity. Incredibly qualified, but these are largely volunteer. Well, the Russian is not as much, but they have exemptions for their draft. What do you think on this? I think it's up to the individual themselves. No, but okay, so the question is, like, this would be something that's forced. Oh, okay.

So, okay. So currently, I know you're from Australia, but I suspect there's probably a military draft or conscription in Australia where the men have to register anyways. So in the United States, I assume it's the same in Australia. Men have to register for something called the Selective Service, which in wartime, if...

If the government opted to, you know, they couldn't find enough soldiers, they could force people, force males to join the war effort, become soldiers. That's strictly men currently, but Congress, the government, they're contemplating making it both men and women. So do you think women should also be subject to potential forced military conscription, a.k.a. the draft? No. Okay. What about you?

Yeah. No, I personally would not want to go to war. But OK. But so that's not the question. You personally wouldn't want to go to war. Right. Yeah. But speaking in generalities here. Yeah. It would because you're 21. So you would potentially be subject to. Yeah. No. So women should not. OK. I don't have an opinion on it. Like.

I feel like if it happens, it happens. If it doesn't, it doesn't. I'm sorry. You guys are giving the most non-answers to this question, but if it happens, it happens. If it doesn't, it doesn't. Yeah, like, it is what it is. I don't know what that means. I've read it. Okay, all right. What about you? For the sake of everything being 50-50, then yeah, sure, go for it. What do you think over here? I don't think women should be drafted. I mean, I...

I know women aren't necessarily frail, but I know we are a lot weaker than men, especially of the same size and stature. I mean, they could beat us at any point in time unless we have a gun. Sure. Granted, I know in war we probably would. And then I think just the emotional trauma of seeing somebody killed. Females are more emotional than guys are generally emotionally.

And that would be a lot harder for us to get over. So and then I would imagine no one has a problem if the war got really crazy for men being drafted, right? I mean, just historically. Right. So then for those of you that said you were feminists, do you see any inconsistency between saying that you want equality, but you're cool with sending men to run into machine guns to protect your society? Does anyone wrestle with that? How do you reconcile that? Yeah.

I didn't say it was a feminist. No, no, I know. Definitely mental gymnastics. No, but what I'm getting at, though, is that it's easy. And I know that you have all been so polite, but let's just dive right into it. It's easy at times to bash the patriarchy. Taylor Swift just today was one of her songs, F the Patriarchy, and everyone in the concert screams that, right? Can we Google that, Nick? Well, it's a lyric to one of her songs of some name tag that was dropped. But she says it like a rallying cry, like F the Patriarchy.

When it comes down to it, it's like you're cool throwing men to the front lines of war, but not yourself. Why do you think the third wave has happened? Do you think it's revenge? Do you think it's a mind virus? Well, I think it's... What do you think? It's a great question. I think that it is a idea toxin where we have...

really denigrated having children and staying at home for a lot of women. And some women, that's the right path. For some women, it's not the right path. But for a lot of women, it is the right path.

And there needs to be an ideological reason as to why you don't get married and you don't have kids for the vast majority of the population. And they developed feminism where they said that for young women, becoming a CEO of a shoe company is as fulfilling as having children. And for some people, that is true. But for a lot of people, that's just not true. And you look at.

The way Gloria Steinem wrote the feminist mystique, it was, I feel as if I'm in an open-air prison being a stay-at-home mom, barefoot and pregnant, basically, being in the kitchen. And it started this whole push, which is where we are the same as men. And that's the problem of third-wave feminism, is that it ties with the trans movement, is they don't believe there's any sort of biological differences between men and women, which we all agree is insane, right? That men and women are made completely differently. And, yeah, I think it's a...

I think it's an intellectual and ideological cancer that needs to be crushed. And I think deep down most people don't even believe it. And the draft argument actually, I think, really draws that out. Where when it comes down to it, most American women are okay sending men to work, which you should be, by the way. Do you young ladies, like if you feel like you say, I'd like to marry and be a stay-at-home mom and not work, if any of you would say that, I don't know.

Do you feel like other people would shame you that you get more social clout by saying something else? I think it's praised right now to be a stay-at-home mom. Okay. At least from my social circles. Interesting. That's a new phenomenon. Before we do move on, I'm not going to allow you guys to weasel your way out of Charlie's question here. So just a show of hands, who of you guys said you were feminists? I believe you and then you.

Oh, come on. Don't reel it back here. So both of you said you're feminists, but you also said you're non-favor of women being subject to military conscription. It occurs to me that feminism, in the most, I guess, generous definition I could give it, is a movement towards equality. That's not honestly the definition I would give it, but to be charitable, I'll give it that.

So how do you... Mike Davis donated $300. Cook, I'm a fan, but stop that corporate nice Christian boy facade. America is on its last leg being overrun by illegals and degenerates. Oh, wow, okay. A time for being nice and a time for war. Now is time for war. This is Burger King, guys. This is Burger King. It's Mike Davis. All right, Mike Davis. Thank you, man. Appreciate it. That's why men should be in war. Yeah. A woman would never say that. Because they...

It's time for war. I don't, I've never uttered that phrase in my life. No, that's a very smart point, actually.

Hey everybody, Charlie Kirk here. Did you know that 80% of adults take supplements to feel our best, right? Well, one thing your dog can't do without you is improve their diet or health to feel their best. That is why I believe Rough Greens could dramatically help your best friend by adding what is missing to their diet like you do. Rough Greens is helping thousands and thousands of dogs feel better and live longer, including my dog, Mr. Briggs, who loves it.

Okay.

Back to my question. Those of you who consider yourself feminist...

How do you reconcile being a feminist, being for equality, but also not being in favor of women being subject to forced military conscription the same way that men are? Go ahead. Because feminism isn't just feminism as in if you're a feminist, you have to agree with every single thought and every single idea that every feminist pushes forward, like the draft, for example. Well, it's not clear to me if that's a feminist...

Like, specifically a feminist position. Well, then if I'm not a feminist under your eyes, then that's fine. I just... Would you acknowledge, though, that that would be a pure equality between men and women? Yeah. So you're not in favor of equality when...

It doesn't stand to benefit women. Yeah, but again, I never pushed for 100% equality within feminism. So you only want the equality that benefits women? No. I want the equality that benefits humanity. Okay, so look... Like, as a society. No, okay, so if that is... Are you guys then okay when you find out that women might earn less in the workforce than men? Yeah, if it falls under that same... Okay, you're consistent. ...benefits humanity and society, then yeah. Okay. I mean, I think women should be... If the women...

are doing the same exact job and producing the same exact amount, quantity, and quality of work, I think they should be paying the same. But generally, that's not the case. No, you're right. The law, you can't discriminate based on sex, but usually there's a lot of other factors such as where you went to school, what you studied. So yeah, I'm just trying to flush out the

consistency or lack thereof here. Yeah. I don't ever think it's men versus women. It's like masculine compliments the feminine. So I think the new wave feminism, if they're talking about, hey, women are better than men, that's like the dumbest thing that you can ever say. I think women compliment men, which goes back to your draft concept. Well, I'd like to ask you another question here. Do you think women should be barred from volunteering for the military? No. Well, that's interesting.

They shouldn't be barred from volunteering, but they should be barred from being forced into conscription despite men being forced into potential conscription. I'm a little confused there. What's confusing about that? Well, why would you, if you're fine with women volunteering, why would you object to women being forced? I feel like we made so many points on why women shouldn't be in war. Do I have to go over them again? I can. Did you make points? I'm not sure. Yeah, I did, actually. Like, for example, a woman being...

sent out to war well actually let's use her example that was one of the best ones if we send half women half men to war and we lose an incredible amount of population what would it be of the country and our workforce like she said let's assume women are the ones that are able to have one child at a time some occasions two three you have twins triplets whatever but one man can produce how many kids in a year one man can repopulate a population so much quicker than a woman can

Okay, well, let's assume the conflict we get involved in is similar to Vietnam, where it's not like we're drafting huge swaths of the U.S. population. It's more like – I just Googled it. I think the United States military conscripted 2 million service personnel throughout the course of Vietnam War. World War II was way more than that. Yeah. So, I mean –

If we'd lost, you know, a million from a population perspective, I don't think it would be catastrophic. But again, those one million women aren't just one million women randomly. They're occupying special type of forces. Like, for example, teachers. How many teachers would we lose because of that? What do you mean? We would get like 18 to 22-year-olds. They're in the middle of doing OnlyFans or college or something. Isla Vista would end up being the Marines.

So let me ask her. If you...

Okay. The broad aces donated $300. Get rid of those silly Australian headband twins. I have been to Australia and all their women are like them. Replace them with Jojo Leche bags. Charlie Cook looks like he's battling Metro Man. Metro Man? Anyone know what that means? I have no idea what. I think they're saying you look like Metro Man. Oh, really? Great. Okay. Thank you. Appreciate it, I guess. That looks so cute.

It's still random. Oh, I see what happened there. Okay. All right. Where were we? We were... I forgot. Can I just ask a question? So if you are with your boyfriend or husband and there's a home intruder in the house, would you expect your husband to put himself first into that situation to take care of it? Absolutely. Or husband, boyfriend, or male counterpart? I mean, I know my husband and I have had this conversation multiple times. I mean, we have multiple guns in the house and...

He's told me, he's like, go hide in the bathroom and hide in the closet. He's like, I'll take care of you. I mean, and I know where the guns are and I know how to use them just in case he dies for some reason. Or I can, you know, shoot and hopefully scare somebody away. Right. I think you were maybe in the middle of making a point. You said, well, that they would be teachers.

And so that's why we shouldn't draft them. Well, you're saying how, like, one million women dying doesn't really hurt society. And I was saying that it does because women have a higher amount of, like, in certain roles, like, for example, like, nursing. Women's jobs are more valuable? Is that the argument you're making? No, no, no, no. I'm saying, like, a lot of women's jobs are already majorly women. Right, but I was arguing your point about, like, you're making this point of, well, if all the women go and die to war, how are we going to repopulate? Yeah. But, like, I'm not...

I don't think any conflict would reduce the female population to such a degree that it would have some catastrophic, if they were drafted, front line, whatever. But we're already up. Actually, it'd probably be good. I'm going to get canceled for this. It'd actually probably be good for the population if women got drafted because here's what happens actually with the volunteer force of women. If they ever do face a deployment, a lot of these female soldiers just get pregnant to avoid having to be deployed.

So actually, this is a fertility rate would go up. Hold on, Charlie. I think actually conservatives need to get on board with the female draft. But no, you have to stay. Charlie, I need you to commit on the whatever podcast here that you actually are in favor of the female draft because they get drafted. Right. We draft only women and then they're going to they're going to get pregnant so they can avoid being deployed.

If there is a pregnancy exemption, they still allow certain pregnant women to... No, if you're pregnant, you can't be deployed. How about only third-train master can't get deployed? I'm just saying pregnancy jumpsuits, but they're not in the Air Force, which is just insane. I think this could be a great talking point for the conservative party. Let's draft the women, and then we'll fix the population problem. Which we have a huge population. A lot of women get pregnant. We will have to ban smush-morshen and just...

And then everyone's going to be raised in a single parent household? That's horrible. No, of course. I hate that. They get married. They get married. They get married to their husband who's deployed. Also, everything sucks. We'll figure it out. Anyways. War is bad across the board. Yeah. But wait, so, okay. Don't draft women because then we can't repopulate? Is that kind of the argument? Yeah, that was one of them, yeah. Okay, what if you only draft like 100, or excuse me, not 100, 1 million women?

Okay, so you want to put a marker on we can draft 1 million women and unlimited men. Wouldn't that also not be equal under your eyes? No, just like say 1 million women, 1 million men. Or 10 million women, 10 million men. That would be equal. And if they can prove that those 1 million women are competent and would advance the award just as much as those 1 million men? Probably not.

Exactly. That's my point. No, but that's my point. No, but equality, we still draft them. But wouldn't you want in a war, the people going to war... Then why do we have women for the volunteer force, which you're in favor of? Because I do believe that the women who are volunteering know that they can provide quite a bit to the war. They're not just like, you know... Not really. Well, I would assume so. Why would a woman volunteer if she's not certain that she can provide some type of...

Well, I mean, people volunteer for all kinds of reasons. Some people do it for financial reasons. Perhaps they're coming from a very low socioeconomic position. Getting into the military can be helpful in that way. Perhaps people want an experience, discipline. They want to serve their country. That's true, but I don't think most women would put their lives on the line and have that be their number one option, just volunteering just because, like, shits and gigs. Like, I want to volunteer. Okay. Yeah.

Right. So I haven't really heard a compelling reason, at least from the feminist viewpoint standpoint, as to why women shouldn't be drafted. But why would you want women to be drafted is my question as a man. For the sake of equality. Yeah, but wouldn't you want your country to do good in war, not just for the sake of equality? So if I make that same argument about the workforce, would you call that a sexist statement? With what exactly? Sexism.

Would it be a sexist statement? I'm not arguing this, but the same argument you're making about, well, wouldn't you want the best for the war effort? Couldn't you just make that argument about the volunteer force so women can't join the military? You could say about policemen, fire, police officers, excuse me, firefighters, et cetera.

I'm not really catching your drift. You said you don't want women, so you're trying to exclude women from other workforces is what you're asking me? Well, you said wouldn't you want the best people? Yes, for the war. Yeah. Because if we lose the war, is that not a big deal? That'd be a big deal. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. It's kind of like...

You know, let's put equality to the side in terms of the war because the war is really going to affect all of society, not just man or woman. But you could even draft women into positions of, for example, not front-line soldiers. Cybersecurity. Yeah, and if you can prove that those women are competent and they can do that, then yeah, go ahead. That still wouldn't really be equality, but it would be closer. It wouldn't, but that would be good, yeah. It would be closer to equality. Exactly. And actually, most positions in the military are not front-line combat positions. Right.

So I'm just a little confused here. What are you confused about if we disagreed on the same point? Just because I label myself as a feminist and I have the same opinion within this as someone who's not a feminist? But it seems like you want equality only when it suits women. No, because I've made that clear. I've made that clear that I don't want it when it just suits women. I want it when it benefits society.

Is that really hard to understand? A little bit. So then you acknowledge that there's an inequality that's currently impacting men because men are the only sex that are required to register for the Selective Service. Yeah, that's an inequality in terms of, yeah, one sex has to go to work and one doesn't. So your solution then is to get rid of the draft? Yeah.

My solution to that would just be let's not go to war. That would make it equal. Yeah, war bad. Exactly, but since that's not a realistic thing that the U.S. will do, and that's why we're just continuing with... What if it has nothing to do with the U.S.? What if there's a belligerent force like China or Russia or something? Okay, well, either way...

How are we going to-- Uh, Beden, I'll ask that later. Are you-- okay. So assuming we can't get rid of war, assuming there had to be a draft... Exactly.

Do you acknowledge the current inequality that exists? Yes, you've asked me that question like four times, I believe. But shouldn't you as a feminist be desirous of moving towards egalitarianism and equality? I've made that clear. No. Not in every single aspect. Can I ask it a different way? What would a victory for the feminist movement look like or your view of feminism?

What's my view of feminism? Or what is an injustice or something wrong in America that you would like to see remedied or cured with your view of feminism? I can get real specific with it. I work in the health care field, and I see a lot of inequality within that. So that's one way where I'm a feminist where I can see, okay, women aren't being treated the best way within the health care field specifically. They don't have the same rights as a man does specifically. Wait, can you elaborate on that? Do you mean patients or women?

Patients, yeah. Wait, can you elaborate what you mean? Like, what is the inequality? Patient care. A man as a patient versus a woman as a patient. Very different. Can you articulate it a little further? Women don't have the same care as a man. Isn't it the case that women...

like see doctors more frequently. They get more, they're more likely to go visit a doctor. Yeah, that's 100% the case. That's because they're not getting adequate care. That's why they have to keep seeing new specialists, new people. Wait, wait. I don't think that's the reason. I think women just tend to care about our bodies and men only care when they're on their deathbed. That's like the typical reasoning. Yeah, women, like for like Medi-Cal or whatever. I don't know what it's called. The reimbursables for women are like seven to one.

They're more likely to use it. Yeah, especially under 50 women. But it's taken me like six months just to get a checkup. I don't think that's because you're a woman, though. You don't think so? Okay. Why would it be because you're a woman? I don't know. Maybe because women's health care is harder to get. I'm not sure. So you're talking like you're OBGYN? No, just primary care physician. Why would that be because you're a woman, though? It actually might be because I have sh**.

It also could be because we just brought a couple million people from the third world into this country. That kind of creates long lines, but it's a separate issue. Well, could you elaborate a little further on the health care thing, though?

Do you want me to just keep going, listing examples? Well, you said women have, I don't know if you said rights, like women have X that men don't. Yeah, women are behind in the healthcare field. So that's something I would want to see women progress. Like in nursing? No, as a patient. I've made that clear. Oh, as patients? Yes. How are they behind?

A woman doesn't get the same adequate care from her primary doctor, from her specialist, from whatever person in the care field to be able to say, you need to do this, this and that. But I just believe that there is something that could be done. Do you think that women sometimes might be overemphasizing a condition that might not be a big deal? No, I don't think so. I mean, yeah, possibly person to person. There's many women who could do that. There's many men who would do that.

How is that relevant? No, because the survey you're citing is that women think they're not getting the care that they deserve when I think they actually are, and then some. But you're right. Men will not go to the doctor unless they're missing a limb, where a woman will call their doctor as soon as they have a sniffle or a sneeze or a cough. And so they engage in the health care system more often. So when you have more interactions and more touch points, you'll have more people who think that there's an injustice when there really isn't. I see your point.

And you also, well, actually here, we'll come back to that a little bit. I did also want to get an answer from you really quick on the draft thing, then we'll move it along to a different topic. You said you're a feminist, but not in favor of women being drafted. How do you reconcile that? I think there should be definitely things that are more, or I guess not more important, but like I'm more for like if...

If I'm working a job in a lab and a man is working a job in the same lab and we're doing the same things, then we should be getting equal pay. What if you work harder than him? Should you get more money? Well, what do you mean, like, work harder? Put in more hours, show up earlier? I mean, wouldn't I? What if you're better than him? Then they would probably recognize the hard work that I'm doing. But I thought you said equal pay. I mean, I think it would depend on, like, your lab position and, like, how high you are. But you have the same title. Do you want it to be based on merit or just equality no matter what?

I mean, I guess like if you are working harder than I feel like you should get paid more regardless if you're a man or a woman. So men are more likely to show up early at work. They're more likely to not take seven to 10 years off for having a child, whether you like that or not. More likely to ask for a promotion, more likely to ask for a raise. They're also more likely to get their boss to notice their hard work. They're better at that than women. So maybe it's not that women are getting paid less than men. Maybe just men are better at working the corporate system than women.

Well, then if that's the case, then I guess that's something we need to work on. Wait, I have a question. Well, you didn't really answer the question, but you did bring up the wage gap there a little bit. So the question was about the draft, though, because you said you were a feminist, but you're not in favor of women being conscripted into military force, military conscription. So, like, just how do you reconcile that? Well, I think they brought up a good point about how.

biologically women are not as physically strong as men. And I don't understand... Or I guess they do bring up a point, like, how would it benefit the United States if we're putting more women onto the military if we're not putting the strongest people out? Well, if they're not benefiting, then why would we allow women to volunteer? I mean... But that's what...

I mean, that's what they want to do with their time. It's better than not having any volunteers. Do you guys think the military would be better if women weren't in it? If it was just men, hardcore men that want to win for the country? You know women better than I do. No women. Do you think the American military was a better fighting force when women were not in it? I think they're a lot more aggressive, a lot more assertive. I mean, there's... I don't want to sound like I'm hating on women, but I just think...

Guys, when they're, especially in a war, I mean, they're out there. They're wanting to be out there fighting for their country. Women, that's not our instance. Wait, Charlie, what was your original question? So would the U.S. military be better if it was just men? Is that kind of the question? Yes, and I say this for a group of women who know female nature very well. You know your friend's female nature.

If you're trying to create a fighting force to defeat the Russians, defeat the Chinese and all these stupid wars, I agree with you. But if you want a good military, should women be in the military at all? Let's get everybody's answer on this. Go ahead. If you want the best military, not an equal one. Just men. Just men.

I mean, but women are such good FBI agents. Like, we're just naturally good at... Not private investigators, because women are the best at finding out that your boyfriend's cheating on you. Exactly. We're not talking about that. We're talking about... So, how do we decode, like... Just answer the question. We're talking about storming Normandy, defeating the Nazis, winning a war. I mean... The Kazakhstans. Oh, gosh. The Kazakhs. The Kazakhs. They actually had women in the military in the Soviet Union, but that's a separate issue. Yeah. Go ahead. Uh...

For the sake of argument, no. No women. Maybe no. But also make sure that every single man that is in there also is up to par. Yeah, I think if the men are really passionate about it, then no women. Okay. I don't want a world where people are barred from much. Okay. No. No. No. I don't know if you guys even remember the question. I'm trying my best here to kind of like...

It should be all men. You think it should be all men? Yes. Thanks so much for listening, everybody. Email us as always, freedom at charliekirk.com. Thanks so much for listening, and God bless. For more on many of these stories and news you can trust, go to charliekirk.com.
