00:00Imagine being a young man in this world, not being able to get a girlfriend, not being
00:05able to get a job that can pay the bills.
00:07I would understand where a young man could feel this way, especially in 2024.
00:13Winning is a serious affair.
00:14There's some sharks in that water.
00:15Are you going to be the f***ing guppy in the water or are you going to be the shark in

01:03the world.
01:04The same system that hurts women also hurts men.
01:08We've also torn up the old male script.
01:09You're going to be a breadwinner, you're going to be a protector, you're going to be a provider.
01:12We've torn that up and replaced it with what?
01:15And the answer is nothing.
