It's time to stand up, speak out, get involved, and
7
00:00:56.079 --> 00:00:58.119
let's speak intention.
8
00:01:05.760 --> 00:01:09.359
Hello and welcome to Intentional. I am your host, Mick
9
00:01:09.480 --> 00:01:12.159
me out. It's really good to be with you today.
10
00:01:12.680 --> 00:01:16.959
It's the beginning of my week. So thanks for stopping in.
11
00:01:17.480 --> 00:01:21.120

12
00:01:21.480 --> 00:01:24.799
and thanks for taking some time to be with us today. Now,

interview on out. We really appreciate your support. Now, before
18
00:01:42.480 --> 00:01:45.680
we go on, I want to touch base with something
19
00:01:45.920 --> 00:01:47.799
that I think is really important.
20
00:01:48.200 --> 00:01:49.159
Hey, I want to.
21
00:01:49.159 --> 00:01:53.000
Be real serious with you. One of the biggest scourges
22
00:01:53.040 --> 00:01:55.959
caused by the open border crisis is the flow of
23
00:01:56.120 --> 00:02:02.680
uncontrolled VENTMOL. Seventy percent of year's overdose deaths were attributed
24
00:02:02.760 --> 00:02:07.760
to fentanyl. It is a hundred times more potent than morphine.
25
00:02:08.400 --> 00:02:13.199
Two grains can and will kill you. At the fentanyl test.
26
00:02:13.319 --> 00:02:16.680
They have created the first test that can detect deadly
27
00:02:16.800 --> 00:02:21.759
ventanyl down to one nanogram per mill leader. Because every
28
00:02:21.840 --> 00:02:26.000
life is precious, go to the Fentanyl test dot com
29
00:02:26.039 --> 00:02:29.919
and use promo code Meal for your ten percent discount
30
00:02:30.319 --> 00:02:35.319
off your order today. Well, let's be intentional. It's time
31
00:02:35.400 --> 00:02:40.719
for the catterwall. So as I typed in this week,
32
00:02:40.960 --> 00:02:47.840
the phrase discrimination against men. Articles began popping up, some
33
00:02:48.000 --> 00:02:53.400
that highlighted the disillusionment of men. Some talked about the
34
00:02:53.719 --> 00:03:00.120
declining educational outcomes, some talked about under employment and and
35
00:03:00.199 --> 00:03:04.599
some just flat out talked about the loss of masculinity. Now,
36
00:03:04.800 --> 00:03:12.080
society has certainly played a role in this, promoting stereotypes
37
00:03:12.599 --> 00:03:18.240
that men are more dangerous than women, or terms like
38
00:03:18.759 --> 00:03:23.520
toxic masculinity has been used at least for the last
39
00:03:23.599 --> 00:03:28.039
maybe four years that I can remember. And what about
40
00:03:28.120 --> 00:03:32.280
white male rage? That came out too and is still
41
00:03:32.680 --> 00:03:36.039
part of headlines that are out there. So where is
42
00:03:36.080 --> 00:03:39.120
all of this coming from? I don't remember it when
43
00:03:39.199 --> 00:03:43.199
I grew up. What exit did we take? Off of
44
00:03:43.240 --> 00:03:46.879
the highway that led us right to this town. So
45
00:03:47.599 --> 00:03:53.319
some point back to the feminist movement and women's rights,
46
00:03:53.439 --> 00:03:58.479
where an online survey had been conducted between twenty twenty
47
00:03:58.560 --> 00:04:02.159
two and twenty twenty three, and it revealed that forty
48
00:04:02.240 --> 00:04:07.560
eight percent of people believed that the promotion of women's
49
00:04:07.680 --> 00:04:13.560
rights has gone far, far more than what was expected
50
00:04:13.919 --> 00:04:20.879
or anticipated into discriminating against men. Others are pointing back
51
00:04:20.920 --> 00:04:27.759
to DEI initiatives, and others are even exposing the academia's bias,
52
00:04:27.839 --> 00:04:31.720
such as Christopher Ruffo, who was posting I think it
53
00:04:31.759 --> 00:04:35.480
was just a couple days ago where he leaked out
54
00:04:35.560 --> 00:04:40.319
some of the internal documents from Harvard that disclosed the
55
00:04:40.560 --> 00:04:47.319
university's deliberate penalization of white men in hiring and the
56
00:04:47.439 --> 00:04:53.759
plan to eliminate oppressor groups like men white men from
57
00:04:53.959 --> 00:04:59.199
certain occupations. Well, today we are fortunate to have with
58
00:04:59.480 --> 00:05:03.879
us Edward Bartlett. He's going to discuss this topic with us.
59
00:05:04.360 --> 00:05:10.600
Edward is the president of Domestic Abuse and Violence International Alliance.
60
00:05:11.000 --> 00:05:15.959
He received his PhD from John Hopkins University. He is
61
00:05:16.000 --> 00:05:20.800
a former faculty member at three different universities and a
62
00:05:20.920 --> 00:05:25.519
former federal regulator at the Department of Health and Human Services.
63
00:05:25.759 --> 00:05:29.519
He also is the author of over a hundred peer
64
00:05:29.560 --> 00:05:35.800
reviewed articles and editorials. Please welcome with me Edward Barlett
65
00:05:36.240 --> 00:05:36.920
well Nick.
66
00:05:37.000 --> 00:05:40.279
Thank you, and that's one of the most gracious introductions
67
00:05:40.319 --> 00:05:43.040
I've ever heard of myself. Thank you so much. Good
68
00:05:43.040 --> 00:05:43.519
to be here.
69
00:05:43.839 --> 00:05:46.360
Well, thank you so much, and thank you for being
70
00:05:46.480 --> 00:05:49.959
with us. I'm not going to pretend that I haven't
71
00:05:50.120 --> 00:05:53.560
heard of all of this. What I really see is
72
00:05:53.720 --> 00:05:59.120
discrimination against men. I don't remember it from my childhood.
73
00:05:59.160 --> 00:06:02.199
I don't even remember it in my twenties or thirties,
74
00:06:02.560 --> 00:06:05.600
but I seem to be about maybe five or ten
75
00:06:05.680 --> 00:06:10.839
years ago I started seeing these terms, and they all
76
00:06:10.959 --> 00:06:15.560
seem to be against men. You know, women are better
77
00:06:15.600 --> 00:06:18.600
in the you know, rosy, the riveter, and just all
78
00:06:18.639 --> 00:06:23.040
of the things that the toxic masculinity terms, the white
79
00:06:23.040 --> 00:06:27.040
male rage that I talked about, And it's really seems
80
00:06:27.079 --> 00:06:30.920
to be a concerted effort, in my opinion, to discriminate
81
00:06:31.000 --> 00:06:33.600
against and demonize men.
82
00:06:34.120 --> 00:06:35.279
And it's not just.
83
00:06:35.279 --> 00:06:39.600
In the USA, sir, It's not even just in the workforce.
84
00:06:40.199 --> 00:06:45.639
You heard my introduction, the societal behaviors, the education, the academia,
85
00:06:46.120 --> 00:06:51.439
even in incarceration and sentencing. There seems to be this
86
00:06:51.560 --> 00:06:56.120
disparity between men and women, where women are less likely
87
00:06:56.240 --> 00:06:59.839
to be arrested or sent to court than men.
88
00:07:00.480 --> 00:07:02.120
So I'm seeing all.
89
00:07:02.000 --> 00:07:08.639
Of this deconstruction and elimination of the male gender. I
90
00:07:08.680 --> 00:07:11.480
see it as a way to maybe newter and make
91
00:07:11.600 --> 00:07:14.040
men more compliant. I may be way out of line here,
92
00:07:14.079 --> 00:07:17.240
so you can tell me if I am. They want
93
00:07:17.319 --> 00:07:21.639
to make men. In my opinion, these feminist followers and
94
00:07:21.800 --> 00:07:25.399
not the virile leaders that you know. When I grew up,
95
00:07:25.439 --> 00:07:29.399
we were like we wanted Amnd's man, you know. So, Edward,
96
00:07:29.519 --> 00:07:32.759
you have done a ton of research, You've done a
97
00:07:32.800 --> 00:07:36.279
lot of work on this topic, and I would love
98
00:07:36.319 --> 00:07:38.680
it if you would just kind of lay the.
99
00:07:38.759 --> 00:07:40.519
Back drop out for us.
100
00:07:40.800 --> 00:07:44.839
Why is maculinity being dismantled?
101
00:07:46.519 --> 00:07:50.879
Well, that's a marvelous introduction to the topic. Why don't
102
00:07:50.879 --> 00:07:55.160
we start with feminism. Feminists claim that they are working
103
00:07:55.160 --> 00:08:00.920
for gender equality, and part of that, feminists messages that
104
00:08:01.560 --> 00:08:07.800
they often use the phrase patriarchy like patriarchal oppression, and
105
00:08:07.839 --> 00:08:10.680
they often say things like yeah, men have all the power.
106
00:08:11.120 --> 00:08:15.439
I'm sure you've heard that phrase probably many times. So well,
107
00:08:15.480 --> 00:08:18.959
we decided to sort of scratch below the surface and
108
00:08:19.079 --> 00:08:22.959
actually look at is that fact really true? And we
109
00:08:23.079 --> 00:08:26.399
decided to look at twelve different areas, and we're everything
110
00:08:26.480 --> 00:08:29.639
we looked at is based on science, is based on
111
00:08:29.680 --> 00:08:34.559
government reports, it's all based on factually, you know, good
112
00:08:34.679 --> 00:08:39.679
sources of information. So anyway, so that myth of that
113
00:08:40.240 --> 00:08:42.919
men have all the power turned out to be an
114
00:08:43.080 --> 00:08:46.799
utter lie. If I could be very candid and direct here,
115
00:08:46.879 --> 00:08:51.519
it's simply not true. And you know, for example, feminists
116
00:08:51.519 --> 00:08:54.600
will say, oh, but look look at the percentage of
117
00:08:55.279 --> 00:08:58.360
men who are in the US Congress compared to the
118
00:08:58.399 --> 00:09:02.480
percentage of women. Well yeah, what that's Congress that passed
119
00:09:02.519 --> 00:09:06.720
the Violence Against Women Act violence Against Women Act, even
120
00:09:06.799 --> 00:09:10.600
though domestic violence is an equal opportunity problem. How is
121
00:09:10.639 --> 00:09:14.080
it possible that, you know, Congress then, as in now,
122
00:09:14.519 --> 00:09:18.240
was majority male. They was signed into law by male
123
00:09:18.320 --> 00:09:22.159
President Clinton. How is that possible if it's true that
124
00:09:22.559 --> 00:09:27.279
you know, patriarchal oppression is alive, and well, the fact is,
125
00:09:27.440 --> 00:09:33.159
it's just not true. If anything, we have this what
126
00:09:33.240 --> 00:09:38.360
people are for doing chivalry. Men care deeply about their wives,
127
00:09:38.399 --> 00:09:42.720
their girlfriends, their daughters, and they will even in the
128
00:09:42.799 --> 00:09:46.879
Violence Against Women Act is a perfect example, how chivalry
129
00:09:47.000 --> 00:09:51.519
is taken perhaps two extremes to the point of actually
130
00:09:51.559 --> 00:09:56.399
infringing on the fundamental constitutional rights of men. So maybe
131
00:09:56.440 --> 00:09:59.759
that's probably sort of a good intro. We can delve
132
00:09:59.799 --> 00:10:02.720
into these twelve areas if you want, but it's important
133
00:10:02.720 --> 00:10:05.799
that we realize that this narrative that we've been hearing,
134
00:10:07.039 --> 00:10:09.960
you know, add into an item for the past fifty years,
135
00:10:10.360 --> 00:10:11.480
is utterly false.
136
00:10:12.559 --> 00:10:15.080
Yeah, it absolutely is.
137
00:10:15.279 --> 00:10:18.960
And i'd like you to talk a little bit about
138
00:10:19.519 --> 00:10:24.320
those twelve areas. But the Violence Against Women Act did
139
00:10:24.360 --> 00:10:31.360
that make any important steps or how did that impact men?
140
00:10:31.879 --> 00:10:35.960
So just to sort of make the key point that
141
00:10:36.080 --> 00:10:41.720
there's been literally hundreds of studies about domestic violence. They've
142
00:10:41.720 --> 00:10:44.879
all found that, guess what, this is an equal opportunity problem.
143
00:10:45.159 --> 00:10:47.879
Women are just as likely to be perpetrators of domestic
144
00:10:47.960 --> 00:10:53.759
violence as men. And you know, you know, you look
145
00:10:53.759 --> 00:10:57.039
at the news reports. In fact, there's a suspicion that
146
00:10:57.399 --> 00:11:01.679
the number of homicides, female trade homicides is going up.
147
00:11:02.000 --> 00:11:06.600
We don't know that statistically or scientifically, but yes, that
148
00:11:07.279 --> 00:11:11.279
is an observation. So the Violence Gets Women Act. Just
149
00:11:11.279 --> 00:11:14.799
to answer your question, but number one created this narrative
150
00:11:15.440 --> 00:11:20.360
that men are fundamentally abusive. And number two, for men
151
00:11:20.679 --> 00:11:24.639
who were themselves victims of domestic violence, made it very hard,
152
00:11:25.639 --> 00:11:27.960
very hard for them to get help, to be believed
153
00:11:28.000 --> 00:11:31.720
to be to receive even the minimum assistance. So that
154
00:11:31.840 --> 00:11:34.679
one law passed in nineteen ninety four thanks to the
155
00:11:34.720 --> 00:11:37.600
efforts of our good friend Joe Biden, I will mention,
156
00:11:37.840 --> 00:11:41.879
I will add has had an enormous effect on American
157
00:11:41.919 --> 00:11:44.519
society and especially on our American families.
158
00:11:45.320 --> 00:11:45.799
Wow.
159
00:11:46.320 --> 00:11:51.440
I mean, this seems to be going really beyond discrimination.
160
00:11:52.240 --> 00:11:56.480
There seems to be like this is an actual attack
161
00:11:57.080 --> 00:12:02.200
on men. And it's not just it's not just discrimination.
162
00:12:02.320 --> 00:12:07.000
I mean, they are attacking their health needs, they're attacking
163
00:12:07.480 --> 00:12:11.519
their rights, and that's being done across the world by
164
00:12:11.720 --> 00:12:16.679
the UN. I mean it sounds like they are maybe
165
00:12:16.840 --> 00:12:19.679
asking for and I know this may be you know,
166
00:12:19.879 --> 00:12:22.759
hyperbole or bombastic, and I don't mean it to be,
167
00:12:23.240 --> 00:12:26.919
but it comes across like they want a death sentence
168
00:12:27.080 --> 00:12:30.919
for men. I mean, if this continues and they don't
169
00:12:30.960 --> 00:12:36.039
take care of men's health, men's health needs, or they
170
00:12:36.159 --> 00:12:42.919
keep making men these these throwaway people, then humanity will
171
00:12:43.000 --> 00:12:46.840
die out. I mean, and we're already seeing very low
172
00:12:46.919 --> 00:12:51.559
birth rates around the world. So I wonder what you
173
00:12:51.720 --> 00:12:56.080
are observing across the world, and how is this? I mean,
174
00:12:56.279 --> 00:13:00.279
it's just being accepted, and it's becoming, in my opinion.
175
00:13:00.080 --> 00:13:03.200
More and more and more aggressive.
176
00:13:04.240 --> 00:13:06.879
Yeah, you know, I think you're hitting the nail on
177
00:13:06.919 --> 00:13:11.840
the head here. It's not just a removal of certain rights.
178
00:13:11.919 --> 00:13:17.559
It's really a vilification, a systematic vilification. And some of
179
00:13:17.559 --> 00:13:20.679
these phrases that are used are really so hateful. I
180
00:13:21.000 --> 00:13:24.600
don't even want to repeat them now. But we're talking
181
00:13:24.639 --> 00:13:30.080
about really a movement in ideology. Let me just throw
182
00:13:30.120 --> 00:13:32.600
a question to you, if I may, how many times
183
00:13:32.639 --> 00:13:35.960
have you heard the phrase kill all men? How many
184
00:13:36.000 --> 00:13:38.000
times have you heard the phrase kill all women?
185
00:13:39.399 --> 00:13:43.600
Right? Yeah, I mean just when President Trump got elected,
186
00:13:44.000 --> 00:13:46.679
did you see that Oh what was that? It was
187
00:13:46.759 --> 00:13:51.600
that that powder? Oh where the women were like if
188
00:13:51.639 --> 00:13:53.759
you know, you know when they're like winking at each
189
00:13:53.799 --> 00:13:57.840
other and it's like a poison that they used, like way.
190
00:13:57.639 --> 00:14:00.960
Back from the medieval days to poison their awkward.
191
00:14:01.000 --> 00:14:04.639
For something not exactly it parah.
192
00:14:04.720 --> 00:14:09.080
Yes, yes, I was just like I was appalled.
193
00:14:09.480 --> 00:14:12.799
I was just appalled, and they're like all wink, wink, wink,
194
00:14:13.039 --> 00:14:15.440
you know, open up and they've got the little powder,
195
00:14:15.480 --> 00:14:18.279
and I'm like, if I was a man, I'd be afraid.
196
00:14:18.360 --> 00:14:20.120
I'd be very very afraid.
197
00:14:20.159 --> 00:14:22.919
Right right, But I you know, I think we want
198
00:14:22.919 --> 00:14:28.039
to be handed and direct in our interview today, feminism
199
00:14:28.200 --> 00:14:33.000
is not about gender equality. It's about female advantage and
200
00:14:33.039 --> 00:14:37.159
even female supremacy. You know, again, it has nothing to
201
00:14:37.200 --> 00:14:40.879
do with gender equality. Feminism has nothing to do with
202
00:14:41.240 --> 00:14:44.080
what we heard in first way of feminism that I
203
00:14:44.159 --> 00:14:48.919
think generally genuinely was about equal rights for both men
204
00:14:48.919 --> 00:14:52.120
and women. But both those days are long gone.
205
00:14:52.399 --> 00:14:58.000
Yeah, yeah, absolutely so, So to what end is this?
206
00:14:58.240 --> 00:15:00.759
I mean, we we say the play it is this
207
00:15:00.919 --> 00:15:03.799
climate change. We saved the planet, but we were ending
208
00:15:03.840 --> 00:15:08.320
the human race. I mean, we become clone transhumans. They
209
00:15:08.360 --> 00:15:11.840
don't need men anymore. I don't I guess I don't
210
00:15:11.960 --> 00:15:17.120
understand the thinking here. It's so diabolical. It's almost like
211
00:15:17.240 --> 00:15:21.360
they're throwing men away because they don't need them, they
212
00:15:21.399 --> 00:15:26.200
don't want them. But hello, then what you die off
213
00:15:26.240 --> 00:15:27.559
and there's no children.
214
00:15:28.480 --> 00:15:33.200
Yeah. There was an early feminist and I'm forgetting her name,
215
00:15:33.279 --> 00:15:36.919
but she actually said, we want to reduce the population
216
00:15:37.200 --> 00:15:41.639
of men, so they represent only ten percent of the population.
217
00:15:42.960 --> 00:15:45.919
You know, I've you know, I used this phrase kill
218
00:15:45.960 --> 00:15:48.519
all men. This is not just you know, a couple
219
00:15:48.559 --> 00:15:53.240
of looney feminists who used this. We actually did an
220
00:15:53.320 --> 00:15:58.080
Internet search on those exact words, and they come up
221
00:15:58.240 --> 00:16:01.240
over and over and over again, and just to bee
222
00:16:01.279 --> 00:16:03.879
actually onto, well, how many times you hear the phrase
223
00:16:04.000 --> 00:16:07.840
kill all all women? We couldn't find a single example, honestly,
224
00:16:08.759 --> 00:16:13.080
that that's been used by any any anybody. So, you know,
225
00:16:14.080 --> 00:16:17.360
feminism is pretty toxic. I think we need to agree
226
00:16:17.399 --> 00:16:17.720
with that.
227
00:16:18.240 --> 00:16:20.440
Yeah. Absolutely.
228
00:16:21.279 --> 00:16:24.840
We had a guest to put a comment in that says, uh,
229
00:16:25.080 --> 00:16:29.279
seems like it is the reverse of what China did.
230
00:16:30.279 --> 00:16:35.679
Ask them how that worked out? So are you able
231
00:16:35.759 --> 00:16:39.480
to respond to that? I mean, is that is that
232
00:16:39.639 --> 00:16:43.240
what we're doing here? We're just instead of instead of
233
00:16:43.320 --> 00:16:45.679
killing the women, we're just killing off the men.
234
00:16:46.320 --> 00:16:46.600
Yeah.
235
00:16:46.639 --> 00:16:49.879
Well, so I think that that that that guest was
236
00:16:49.919 --> 00:16:57.080
coming on sex selective abortions, which yes, it becomes have
237
00:16:57.200 --> 00:17:00.919
become a problem in China, also in India and in
238
00:17:00.960 --> 00:17:06.240
those countries. In fact, the sex selective abortions have primarily
239
00:17:06.279 --> 00:17:11.720
targeted female infants, right, So yeah, I think that's what
