[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The entire interview so everyone can judge for yourself. It’s more life advise than political commentary, but a lot of his points aren’t that radical imo:

*Humanities degrees aren’t worth that much, but you should go to college for specialized degrees
*Internet porn is bad
*Being promiscuous in your 20s is overrated and unfulfilling you should get married and have kids instead

Good summary.  Anyone even a tiny bit honest would admit that all of that is true.  Doesn't really matter whether your kids are in college getting their humanities degrees (as mine are).  My spouse and I are well-aware that specialized or STEM degrees would have been more lucrative for them.  However, they are not STEM-types, so it is what it is.  I don't disagree with what he's saying.  [/quote]

You don't disagree that people should have more children than they can afford, and that it's terrible that women want to have sex in their 20s because that means they're acting like men?[/quote]

He followed that children line with “and get a job you’re not qualified for,” meaning, if you’re not dense, that you should take on more responsibility in your personal and professional life than you think you can handle. I never knew “aim for the stars” was a controversial statement, but maybe when that sentiment is applied to building a family and not strictly making money or advancing your career you find that offensive somehow? Very telling…

And he didn’t say that thing about women at all. You are misquoting him. He basically said that women have been misled into thinking that being promiscuous is somehow liberating, when in reality it usually it’s the opposite. Ask women how many regrets they have about casual encounters and then ask men the same question and see how the responses break down by gender. Of course this is an obvious point to anyone who is not a raving ideologue, but you knew that anyway. If Michelle Obama said she gave the same advise to her daughters (don’t sleep around in your 20s and aim for the stars in your family and professional life) you would not even bat an eye. [/quote]

LOL. So like a white man to tell other white men to go get jobs they’re not qualified for. How many women have seen that happen in their own workplace? Raises hand. Must be nice. [/quote]

Why do people act like it's hard to fall into a prestige gig? Just tell the boss your dad is tight with Reagan and Poppy Bush and you're golden. - T.C.[/quote]
