Rachel Wilson vs NotSoErudite: It's fiat not feminism that killed the family!

"Your frankly quantum concept of consent — it's both consent and not consent until you open up the rape box."Brian and Alison on the Call Her Daddy episode where Alex Cooper and her guest, Kate Manne, an associate professor of philosophy at Cornell, take on the Cornell 7 case, and on what Jane Doe's own sworn statement describes her doing.Also: a defendant moving to have the Cornell 7 special prosecutor recused over her public statements, and to have grand jurors asked whether they've seen them; the line in Doe's own account where she tells a man the next day he might not remember what she did to him; the survey finding that men who answer on the fifth follow-up report far more assault than men who answer on the first, because men bounce off these questionnaires; the enrolment figure below which administrators expect women to stop applying; and a fraternity brother raped by a woman."I am sexually liberated modern woman. Hear me roar and snort ketamine off a guy's dick.""Men in colleges are like the whores in a whorehouse. And you know how the customer is always right."Support the show: feedthebadger.com/supportSend us a message: feedthebadger.com/justthetipJoin the community: badgernation.online

"Hey, look, I have this blunt instrument that I don't understand. I'm going to thump you on the head with it. Surely that will work."Brian and Alison on the fourth instalment of Rachel Wilson's debate with Kyla, also known as NotSoErudite, who spends this round arguing that coming off the gold standard and the Triffin dilemma killed the family, and that feminism couldn't possibly have.Also: the Canadian Centre for Men and Families creating services for men on under a million a year; men with homemaker wives working less than other men rather than more; the number one regret of men in hospice; Saudi Arabia's native fertility sitting close to three once you control for immigration, and secular Israeli Jews above replacement; the liberal college graduates who never married and so never turn up in the population the college studies examine; and coming off the gold standard and feminism getting a tsunami of funding."Everybody thinks Muslim men are some kind of different species. They're not. They're exactly as custodial.""You don't have to take anything away from women. Just stop giving something to women."Support the show: feedthebadger.com/supportSend us a message: feedthebadger.com/justthetipJoin the community: badgernation.online

"The agency has since stopped recording minutes at these meetings."Hannah Wallen, Mike Stevenson and Richard the Lionhearted on a Daily Mail investigation into Britain's Child Maintenance Service, which found at least one more father who killed himself after years of being overcharged.Also: a man whose earnings the agency inflated by ten thousand pounds, leaving him paying more than double what he owed; another whose debt it multiplied by ten; one father who got six letters in a single day, each naming a different sum; the comparisons being drawn to the Post Office Horizon scandal; and women coerced into naming a man as the father, the men later cleared and never compensated."Is child support as corrupt in the UK as it is in the US?" "Yes." "The question isn't just that, but is it more?" "Yes."Support the show: feedthebadger.com/supportSend us a message: feedthebadger.com/justthetipJoin the community: badgernation.online

"Give me a call when you're ready to say, We were wrong, Doc! Please help us! And I will spontaneously laugh in your face while disintegrating into the grass. And thereby touching the grass as I disintegrate into it."Brian, Hannah Wallen, Dr Randomercam and Mike Stevenson on the Cornell 7 developments: the Title IX panel handing down suspensions, probation and expulsions, and a complainant who told police parts of the night were "pretty okay" and that she agreed to a threesome, before saying she could state with 100% confidence she was raped.Also: Shane Gillis's SNL monologue and the cancel culture that was supposedly over; Bernadette Greene-Placentia, the Arizona Democrat who says two men knocked her unconscious and assaulted her while she was out repairing campaign signs alone at 2am, told her campaign team before her husband, and waited seventeen days to give the sheriff's office a statement; the share of undergraduates identifying as neither male nor female falling since 2023; and what harassment law actually requires you to have intended."I would argue that consent doesn't exist. Not for men. There's no such thing, and you should stop playing this game. It's an illusion."Support the show: feedthebadger.com/supportSend us a message: feedthebadger.com/justthetipJoin the community: badgernation.online

"There are so many Save the World NGOs and Save the World LLCs in this state, you'd think we would have saved the world by now."Brian interviews Phillip C. Parrish, retired Navy lieutenant commander, intelligence and counterterrorism, who went public on Minnesota child-care fraud after coming off orders in 2017, and who ran for governor in 2018 and then for lieutenant governor on Mike Lindell's ticket. Parrish talks about the Duluth model, which he dates to 1977 and the work of Pence, Paymar and McDonald.Also: seventeen years he didn't call domestic violence, at six foot four and 240 pounds; four years of marriage counselling in which separation was never once suggested while he was being abused; a hundred and ten billion dollars of Minnesota spending since 1977 for fake services, fake clients, and agency bloat that never touches a child's life; and what he tells men to keep: texts, screenshots, dates and places."If I had behaved like she was behaving, I never would have seen my children again.""I had to fight with every inch of my life to just get joint legal and joint physical custody."Support the show: feedthebadger.com/supportSend us a message: feedthebadger.com/justthetipJoin the community: badgernation.online

"Make sure you're flagellating yourself not because you're not feminist enough, but because you're too feminist."Brian hosts political theorist Stephen K. Baskerville — author of Taken Into Custody and Who Lost America?, and of the recent essay "The Tragedy of Conservatism" — on family courts, the accusation industry, and why the professional Right won't touch either.Also: the outrage that turned up for the civil rights movement and never for fathers; invading the churches and taking over the men's groups as the place to start locally; conservatives reaching for "feminism is Marxism" as a crutch; the allegations reaching past divorce court into the military, the universities and politics; and the one demand he says should never be compromised — give them their children back and leave them alone."If you can't regain control of a congregation, you're not going to regain control of a nation.""Women naturally have a monopoly on reproduction and its terms. And if men don't demand to share it equally, then the women will monopolize it."Support the show: feedthebadger.com/supportSend us a message: feedthebadger.com/justthetipJoin the community: badgernation.online

"She's applying these talking points not as topics of debate, but as gotchas."Brian and Alison keep going through Rachel Wilson's debate with Kyla, also known as NotSoErudite, on whether feminism has done more harm than good — Wilson arguing it has, NotSoErudite looking anywhere else for a culprit.Also: Claudia Goldin's finding that the 1970s was not a spike in women's employment but part of a rise already long underway; the Gulf states as the gotcha, and why fertility is falling faster in the debtor Muslim nations than the creditor ones; sixty thousand dollars of average student debt and a first child at 31; share buybacks against capital expenditure as a symptom of an economy moving from production to signalling position; and a man trading his own fertile years for money he'll have at forty."Not even the communists wanted to do that. The Nazis still had children and marriage. The only one of the big ideologies that specifically said, hey, we're going to kill family, was feminism."Support the show: feedthebadger.com/supportSend us a message: feedthebadger.com/justthetipJoin the community: badgernation.online

"They decided it was cheaper to just kill her."Hannah Wallen, Mike Stevenson, Lauren Brooks and Richard the Lionhearted close out the assisted-suicide run on the Equality and Human Rights Commission's briefing to the House of Lords on the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill.Also: a definition of terminal illness that turns on a six-month expectation while leaving "treatment" and "temporarily" undefined; whether a man whose depression has a cause nothing can change counts as terminally ill; the commission listing "women and disabled people" as though there are no disabled men; Barbara Wagner, the Oregon woman whose insurer refused a four-thousand-dollar-a-month drug and agreed to cover fifty dollars of lethal ones; and what mandatory-arrest policy did to the number of women arrested."All of our governments appear to be run by people who have been blacked out on the Epstein list."Support the show: feedthebadger.com/supportSend us a message: feedthebadger.com/justthetipJoin the community: badgernation.online

"It's like Highlander for women."Brian, Hannah Wallen and Dr Randomercam on the Cornell 7 — seven Chi Phi members named in a September civil lawsuit, with nobody charged, after Tompkins County DA Matthew Van Houten declined to prosecute on a sworn statement he said did not allege she was drugged against her will.Also: Kathy Hochul stripping him of the case and handing it to Letitia James, who had already posted that what the complainant endured was "horrific and unacceptable" and addressed "all survivors", then declined to say why she treated the allegations as fact before investigating; Hochul's call to close the "voluntary intoxication loophole", a month out from her re-election and not retroactive to Cornell; Christa Pike surviving two supposedly lethal doses of pentobarbital; and a male contraceptive gel that drove sperm counts to near zero."Am I the only one around here who has heard of the emergent technology of rope? You don't even need to build fucking gallows or anything.""How are we supposed to impose a one world government if families of even the tiniest size could form on their own terms?"Support the show: feedthebadger.com/supportSend us a message: feedthebadger.com/justthetipJoin the community: badgernation.online

"If it refers to itself as it, does it dress in drag as a human? Is that drag for it? I just want to know the logistics." Brian and Alison read a Boston Globe piece from September this year, headlined "I hope your venue gets firebombed." The Last Ditch, a lesbian bar in Greenfield, had required a well-fitted KN95 or better at all times. It offered one optional night a week, and the queer community split. Also: ten people in a circle on the dance floor, all masked, with two designated mediators, fifteen more on Zoom, two minutes each, going clockwise, opening with a calming breath exercise; one founder with a trashed credit score who lived in her truck for six months and carries the $50,000 loan alone; and what her own customers posted while she cried. "People like you kill disabled people in the name of your own leisure and convenience." "I don't even think the communists would tolerate this shit. This would be gulag behaviour. To the gulag you go. You don't want to farm your turnips, Noir? To the gulag." "This newfangled communism is making me want some old school communism."
