Hi, I'm Dr. Dennis, and I am THE natural. Hey, I'm Dr. Kevin. That makes me the junkie. Oh yeah. And we are the Supernatural Junkies. And we talk about all the things that you can't talk about in the church today. And I'd like to talk about strengthening your faith, conspiracies, and how everything on TV is programming you. I'd like to talk about how our Bible is relevant, whether you're talking about artificial intelligence, so-called aliens, or secret societies.

By the way, I know what Dr. Cruz likes to talk about as well.

Spoiler alert i like to talk about how current events are prophetic and exactly what our bibles warned us would happen alex what's your jam i like to talk about ghosts aliens demon baby supernatural healing you name it be sure to check out our 100 plus episodes on places like audible ipodcast iheart radio and spotify just search for the supernatural junkies wherever you podcast Also, don't forget to like us on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter.

Hello, everyone. Welcome to Supernatural Junkies. This is Alex. I'm here with Dr. Kevin. And I got the triple docs, triple docs, double Dennis's, but triple docs. The double docs. We got Dr. Jozier and Dr. Dennis with us here today, too. We also have a special guest, Captain Contrary, alter ego of Dr. Dennis. That's right. What's going on today, guys? Dr. Dennis, are you going to ever get this house of yours fixed? It's done, baby. Well, yep. You keep saying that.

And then he keeps putting this off. I got to have something done in the house. People are showing up. Things are going to happen. Dr. Dozier, how are you doing, brother? Looking all serious. I'm doing all right. I'm doing all right. Did you do double caffeine? Did you have to tap it twice today?

No i'd do that and then i'm a little i can do a one and done on the caffeine well you know, what's twitching i was i was you know just went out with my nephew you know doing some work and he was drinking red bulls and i was like oh my goodness where would i be what planet would i be on if i was drinking one of those, I guess I'm too old for all of that, so, you know. No, they don't taste great either. No, they really don't, you know.

Yeah, it's like if you're going to, it shouldn't at least taste better. Speaking of things that taste poorly, I got methylene blue yesterday. Somebody recommended for my migraines. Is my tongue still blue? She told me to try. It's powerful. It is strong. She says it tastes so bad that, you know, I wouldn't be able to handle it. So the first thing I wanted to do was try it. Right? He's like a little kid. And you're like, don't do that.

That's not good for you. He's like, let me put it in my mouth. And you're like, what are you doing? What are you doing? And then the face he made after he was like, see, I did it. And I was like, yeah, but I saw that face. It was like. It was only a second, Dennis. It only lasted for a second. It's bad. Have you guys heard about the methylene blue and all the benefits of? Yes. It's good for cellular respiration, mitochondrial function. It's a good product. Have you tried it?

No, I haven't. i i found some i'll i'll have to i'll let you try it because, just remember dr it cures cancer and long covid well my mitochondrial damage that's what long covid is yeah yep i had to put my jacket on today because i have on a green shirt like oh look watch alex disappear yeah our green screen disappearance act but now i'm sweating because it's hot i'm sweating over here, I'm going to have to blast it.

Well, today we get to hear from Alex and she's going to be the doctor of women today. I don't know about that. Oh, yes. Because I'm not. See, we play an OBGYN. Even though we have our doctorates in some areas in the doctor of women, my doctor of womanhood at Dr. Dozier is, I don't know if I got out of high school yet in my education of understanding women.

Where do you think you're at dr dennis i don't think women understand women put these guys on the spot i don't think it was meant for man to understand women right that's right.

We're just supposed to love them like christ loved the church amen amen to that amen yeah and speaking of people that don't have love for women like christ has love for the church there's a lot of crazy stuff you know so first we want to talk about you know when we mentioned oppression there's sort of an oppression olympics i know i referenced that a lot because there's a lot of groups wanting to mention how oppressed they are

i am sweating sorry and um this jacket it's the middle of summer so it's like 90 degrees here and i've got a jacket on because it's all i had in the studio so because otherwise i disappear that might not be a bad thing but i will talk about especially american women mentioning oppression and that is something that always gets me because.

You know as oppression goes they say that evangelical christians women especially tend to say they suffer the least amount of oppression isn't that amazing because if you ask other groups they would say that is the most one of the most oppressed groups in america because you know it's a traditional family but the truth is is that when they look at the numbers harvard did a study about this.

And they found that evangelical Christian women say that they, and as you get over 30, you suffer less discrimination. It tends to be- This is the way they feel, in other words. In other words, they don't feel oppressed. Right. They don't feel discriminated against. They don't tend to feel as oppressed as women that are not Christian, right? And it, you know, there is something that comes with age, right?

You would understand that a younger woman between the ages of 15 and 29, they say, in America feel the most discriminated and oppressed. I would say that that's, and they mention specifically the comments that they get, right? It's, he's looking at me, I have weird extensions, but they say that for them, they get the most oppression. And I think that's because of their age. I mean, let's be honest, people say a lot of stupid stuff, right?

I remember all the strange comments from male bosses and just men in general when you're that age because you are kind of the target, right? I also want to mention that if you're oppressed, especially in America, how can you go out wearing next to nothing, right? Because there's a trend happening where the women wear next to nothing and expect people not to comment. Have you guys noticed this? What about when you go to the gym, Dr. Dozier?

I know you got your home gym there sometimes. I got to trash talk him a little bit Because when he goes to the gym, I don't know if you guys know, but he's a world champion. Power lifter. Yeah. But he also is from the old school where he goes to the gym and he actually looks good. He kind of matches a little bit. He's always sad. I got you. I got you. Have you noticed anything happening in the gym with how the women are dressing? Yeah, how that's changed in the last five years.

Because I'm a trainer, so I've worked in many gyms. It's horrible. I don't know. I would say where I go most of the time, to be honest, it's not too bad. I've been in some gyms where it's very revealing. But I see some people, I see some women who, somebody kind of like conservative gym clothes and then some kind of moderate. Is where I go. Most of them come there, to be honest, they're coming there and they're working out.

They're working out. But I have seen it where it's bad. And then someone can say, well, don't look. Well, if I don't look, I won't see the men either. So I'm going to see the people in the gym. You got eyes. Yeah. I'm going to see the people in the gym, male or female. I'm going And I would say that. So if any of you are listening, you know I gave a good word for you. Dr. Dennis, come on, baby. Tell the truth. I don't know what gym he goes to

because the couple of gyms. Give him a shout out. Owl House. Owl House. So serious people go to that gym. I guess so. I mean, but I've been to a couple of local gyms and the outfits are too revealing. And there's outfits that you really don't want to see any, you know, so I mean, not to be discriminatory, but, you know, please put some clothes on. Well, I think there's, there's no way around that, especially, and again, we are all older and fifties and up.

So that's why, you know, this is a little shocking, you know, to see this happen. And then you'll see some of the people that take videos of guys staring. Well, most of the time, the guy wasn't staring actually anyways.

But you know it is it's a little shocking and especially if somebody's literally right in front of you I have definitely had to change locations a few times but my boys have mentioned it they're like ma you should see it you know and they're young boys right the other thing we have to mention is that men are largely visual right in the way that they process whereas that's not necessarily true for women so I think it's really unfair and I'm you know I'm not a simp I'm not

trying to sympathize necessarily with them but i think that what if we take into account and we have to take into account everybody's feelings right nowadays so why can't we take into account that men generally are visual creatures right and so of course they're going to look especially if you're doing plyometrics in a bikini top yeah you know i tell them that's like you're not really working out if you can work out in a bikini top you're not there to work out because

there is no way at any point, no matter what kind of shape I was in, that I could do the plyometrics that we were doing right in a bikini top. That's ridiculous. So I'm like, you're not really working out if you're wearing a bikini top. That's insane.

I know we're talking about the oppression of women today, but I feel men are oppressed. I 100 by these visual distractions. Wait a minute, Dr. Dennis. Get your own show here, buddy. No, I believe, well, I think it's funny. I mean, here's Dr. Contour because I'm contouring too long. He showed up by a year's name. But when you think about it, you look at men are under assault, visual assault.

You can't go through the supermarket without going out the checkout line and having all TNA in front of you. You know, all these slime ball magazines that cost 20 bucks. I don't know why anybody would buy one. And then, you know, in the gym, it's visual assault. You're not staring at a woman because I'm attracted to her. I'm staring at her because I cannot believe she's wearing that in the gym. Yep. Right. How did you leave the house like that?

Well, in small talk, let's return to the subject of today, which is how do women feel? Let's look at this slide here real quick.

So by the numbers most women are unhappy with how society treats them christian women are actually going to be more happy than the average bear but here's what the statistics show that 44 percent of u.s women are satisfied with women's treatment in our society in comparison 61 percent of men, 33% of women think men and women have equal job opportunities compared with 61% of men. 72% of women support affirmative action for women compared to 61% for men.

Now, it's interesting that it's always 61% for men. It doesn't even go up and down, but it just goes to show you how women really are walking around feeling like they're second-class citizens. And I think that's what Alex is trying to get to, you know, with the point.

So that being said, you want to take it from there? Sure. This is where when we talk about actual pay gaps and discrimination that way. And I also have another study here that was written by Valentin Balotny and Natalie Emanuel. And this is from 2018. And it was basically done with public transportation workers in Massachusetts Bay. And they wanted to see, you know, let's take a look at this pay gap and what's really happening.

And is it true? And what they ended up proving in this study was that the reason the pay gap exists largely that the women that are making less than men, it's because the men are, one, working more hours. They're working more overtime. They are working weekends. Whereas the women, they said in this study, and they studied it for a few years, were that the women tended to take advantage of the time off more than the men did. Not take advantage. I mean, that's their day off, right?

But that they weren't working those hours. And could you say that that could be for a lot of reasons? Sure, it could be because of family. Maybe the women were more responsible for having to pick up the kids. Maybe there's something going on that way. But the truth is, is when we look at that, even Jordan Peterson, I believe, mentions this as well. Men work more.

More hours. Yes, they work more hours. It's not that they're necessarily, if we even out what they were, they get paid and they work the same amount of hours, then the pay gap is nearly non-existent. And, you know, you could say, you know, and some studies have found that in studies, right, we know that that can vary from study to study. But a few of them said, yes, they're still, even given that information, a little bit of a pay gap.

Well, we can roll. Let's roll to that Jordan Peterson clip because you can see. And he's dealing with a very difficult rapport here. So, you know, kudos to him. Yeah. Let's check this out. Let me put a quote to you from the book where you say there are whole disciplines in universities, forthrightly hostile towards men.

These are the areas of study dominated by the postmodern stroke neo-Marxist claim that Western culture in particular is an oppressive structure created by white men to dominate and exclude women.

Minorities too. Okay, sure. But I want to put to you that here in the UK, for example, let's take that as an example, the gender pay gap stands at just over 9%. You've got women at the BBC recently saying that the broadcaster is illegally paying them less than men to do the same job. You've got only seven women running the top FTSE 100 companies. So it seems to a lot of women that they're still being dominated and excluded, to quote your words back to you.

It does seem that way, but multivariate analysis of the pay gap indicates that it doesn't exist. But that's just not true, is it? I mean, that 9% pay gap, that's a gap between median hourly earnings between men and women. That exists. Yeah, but there's multiple reasons for that. One of them is gender, but it's not the only reason. Like, if you're a social scientist worth your salt, you never do a univariate analysis. Like, you say, well, women in aggregate are paid less than men.

Okay, well, then we break it down by age. We break it down by occupation. We break it down by interest. We break it down by personality. But you're saying, basically, it doesn't matter if women aren't getting to the top, because that's what's skewing that gender pay gap, isn't it? You're saying, well, that's just a fact of fact. Women aren't necessarily going to get to the top. No, I'm not saying it doesn't matter either.

You're saying it's a fact of life. I'm saying there are multiple reasons for it. Yeah, but those reasons, why should women put up with those reasons? Why should women be content not to get to the top? I'm not saying that they should put up with it. I'm saying that the claim that the wage gap between men and women is only due to sex is wrong. And it is wrong. There's no doubt about that. The multivariate analysis have been done.

So I can give you an example. You keep on talking about multivariate analysis. Let me give you an example. I'm saying that 9% pay gap exists.

That's a gap between men and women. I'm not saying why it exists, but it exists. Now, if you're a woman, that seems pretty unfair. Yeah. You have to say why it exists. But do you agree that it's unfair? If you're a woman... Not necessarily. And on average, you're getting paid 9% less than a man. That's not fair, is it? It depends on why it's happening. I can give you an example. Okay. There's a personality trait known as agreeableness. Agreeable people are compassionate and polite.

And agreeable people get paid less than less agreeable people for the same job. Women are more agreeable than men. Again, a vast generalization. Some women are not more agreeable than men. Yes, that's true. But that's right, and some women get paid more than men. So you were saying that, by and large, women are too agreeable to get the pay rises they deserve. No, I'm saying that that's one component of a multivariate equation that predicts salary. Is gender equality a myth?

I don't know what you mean by the question. Men and women aren't the same, and they won't be the same. That doesn't mean they can't be treated fairly. Is gender equality desirable? If it means equality of outcome, then almost certainly it's undesirable. That's already been demonstrated in Scandinavia. What do you mean by that? Equality of outcome is undesirable. Well, men and women won't sort themselves into the same categories if you leave

them alone to do it off their own accord. I've already seen that in Scandinavia. It's 20 to 1 female nurses to male, something like that. It might not be quite that extreme. And approximately the same male engineers to female engineers. And that's a consequence of the free choice of men and women in the societies that have gone farther than any other societies to make gender equality the purpose of the law. Those are ineradicable differences.

You can eradicate them with tremendous social pressure and tyranny, but if you leave men and women to make their own choices, you will not get equal out. So I clipped that interview quite a bit. I mean, you could see she is really going at them. She is not wrapping around that there can be no reason why there is any difference. And of course, like Alex was saying, men do work more hours.

And the other thing that happens there is that When you work overtime, I don't know if you know this, but yeah, that alone is going to be a massive, massive, you know, pay increase. So, but it was a great interview to watch and you can see what he's saying that there's personalities involved here. There's hours, there's the interest, there's different pay for different jobs, all kinds of factors.

So when you put those in, then you see that there is a reason why this is happening because That's kind of innate to just men being men and women being women. So then maybe there isn't as much gender inequality as we thought. Right. If that interview, if you watch the whole thing, it's actually a really great interview to watch. I suggest that you guys go find it. We'll have the clip in the show notes.

But one of the other things he says is that women tend to choose jobs, like he was beginning to say there, that pay less. Right. They tend to take on more of a nurturing, caring type of role. That's why in countries where they're free to choose 20 to 1 nurses, right? And that would be the other reason why women tend to make less. So if we have to factor in all those, are they really making less? I'm not so sure. Right. And all this to say that I don't believe that American women suffer the kind

of oppression that they say they do. I don't think they really realize what that means.

I think they've been a lot because the world that we live in, right?

In america you you can say you anything it doesn't make you that thing as we're seeing right there's a lot of that going on right now anyway go ahead have him roll the clip what you want i'm gonna give these guys you gotta give guys a chance to say something about jordan peterson i i think jordan peterson was trying to bring up the point and trying to do to show where where her argument was failing she was saying that there was a nine percent pay gap overall you

can't said no you have to go and look at different categories. Women are, you know, they may choose different occupations than men, but when you go occupation to occupation, like if you look at men and women lawyers and they're working the same hours, they typically make the same amount of money. So, and that, at least here in the States. So if you look at, you have to compare apples to apples and not apples and oranges. So it's really a, it's a false argument.

If you were hired at a police department, specific position anywhere, evidence technician, officer, whatever the case may be, that city is going to have a salary. There could be a starting salary or there could be a salary based on your education. And then I'll use one here that really goes at the crux of what's being said. Let's take the military, okay? Whatever your grade is, your pay grade and your time and service, that's going to determine the pay.

You can have the same pay grade, but if one has more time in service, there's a certain pay that they'll get over the one that has less time. If you get 50 people with the same pay grade at the same time in service, it doesn't matter if 40 of them are women and 10 of them are men, or 40 of them are men and 10 of them are women, they're all going to make the same thing. They're going to make the same thing because there's a grade.

When you get the pay raises, when they do give you a raise, there's going to be an across-the-board raise. There was one time that I can remember a long time. We had some pretty big raises. It all depended on your grade. You were bringing military pay up. But for the most part. Whatever that raise is, that percentage, everyone gets the same percentage. So I believe you have to put all areas in.

If you're going to do that, you need to do military, you need to do civilian, civil service, all of those particular things to be honest about it, to be truthful about it.

You've already mentioned, it's already been mentioned, the different jobs that are chosen and some jobs, some positions are not going to pay the same thing. Experience, for the most part, usually pays you more, and even educational level can pay you more. So all of those things, I believe you have to factor in. When you're just saying that 9% and you don't factor all those things in, you got yourself a logical fallacy.

In other words, you're saying something that has no logic to it at all because you haven't really done your research. You haven't analyzed. You haven't evaluated. You haven't done enough of that when you say things like that. And that's what I was seeing in that interview, a person was pressing for a particular viewpoint. And it even appeared that it was more emotion in there than there was reasoning in fact. So even in that particular interview, you can see the part that I clip.

He talks about how even though women are more agreeable, it means that they tend to stop going in and asking for raises. And he shows them how to become more assertive, right? And so this can fix a lot of the problems. So there can be things that are done to fix these things.

So he's not saying that there's no fixes for it. But the big point we want to make today, guys, is how God and his view of women is what we want to put out. But to continue to keep going there, we want to show you how women in our society feel right now. And this is a good clip. Hi, I'm Ophelia Jacobson with Campus Reform. Today, we're at the University of Central Florida talking with young college students about women's rights here in America and abroad.

Do college students think that women are oppressed here in the United States of America? And what happens when they find out how women are treated under the Taliban in Afghanistan? Let's find out. Would you say that women are treated unfairly in the United States? Yes, I would say so. Yes. I've quit so many jobs because of the way I was treated at work. Definitely. But I think that there's a lot of like institutional factors that play into that, especially when you think about just like.

Like unequal pay we're all we already have a lower pay wage even if we're overly qualified for the for the position there's still a lot of traditional i guess you could say like perspectives on like what a woman should do and what a woman shouldn't do yeah there are definitely some unfair treatment in some aspects would you say that women are oppressed here yes yeah yeah absolutely um but it's primarily of course there's the intersection of not just being a woman but also being a woman of

color or a poor woman or an immigrant? Yeah, I mean, there are things that make it just there are things that make it hard. Would you say it's hard to be a woman in the United States of America? Yeah, yeah, so hard. Yes, I do. Yes. It is. It is. Yeah. 20 years ago, we first invaded Afghanistan after 9-11. But before the U.S. troops invaded Afghanistan, the Taliban was in control. And under the Taliban, women weren't allowed to have a job. They weren't allowed to get an education.

They weren't allowed to hold a position in government. They were being beaten and killed under that government. We drove them out. And since then, you know, life for women in Afghanistan improved greatly because of U.S. presence. Now that the Taliban has once again invaded, many are fearing that women are going to be treated the same way as they were 20 years ago. Women already being beaten and killed on the streets.

What is your first reaction to this? It makes me very nervous for especially the young girls growing up who might not be able to get an education. He says it all, unless you're just going to take away their hard work that they earned to get those positions because it opposes their personal views. If they worked hard for that, who do you think you are just coming here and just, too bad, stay in the house while the man does all the work? Like, what? Terrible.

Honestly, I don't know what more to say. It's kind of like a really extreme version of sexism and misogyny. Looking at everything that women are dealing with right now, what they're going to deal with once the Taliban becomes even stronger, does that kind of change your perspective about how women have it here in the United States? Yeah, like it could be worse here. It could be like as bad as that.

Um that is definitely easier for us to be a woman here compared to that yeah oh see i feel like both both parties are oppressed i don't want to say one has it worse than the other, but it is a you wouldn't you wouldn't say that being beaten and killed is worse than maybe just having a lower wage no no no that's why i'm like oh i feel so because it's like yeah the both forms oppression but it is that is a lot worse than what we're going through yeah yeah we

have it better we do oh yeah for sure i mean we still got it a lot better than many other women in other countries around the world you know obviously in other areas it's a lot worse like with that situation now that i know like obviously there's not as much as to complain about here than over there do you think we have it pretty good here.

Oh that feels like that contradicts what i say about but it's the truth though, that's a good question because you're not you have a very fair point we do have it better here than we do in afghanistan in general so i'm like that's a good question but i feel like it contradicts what i just said do you think we have a pretty good here yeah yeah we have it pretty good here yeah it's definitely better than how it used to be and better than a lot of other places,

i guess yeah i would i mean people aren't being like murdered just for being women on the street I've got a question. Those are college students, right? Yep. Where's their life experience of knowing what it's like to be out there in the job market? I'm not saying that some women don't have it hard. I'm not going to say men do as well, some men, but we're talking about women. But you're interviewing college students who are saying things.

They're speaking what would have to be with them, theory, and not experience. Some of them, as the lady was bringing out different things about the Taliban and Afghanistan and all, some of them use critical thinking. When she began to give them, she began to like, really what she's doing is she's juxtaposing some things, making some comparisons. But then there's the one young lady that no matter what, she's not processing. She's not processing at all.

So you have to ask yourself, they have to ask themselves, when do I get my views from? How am I coming to this conclusion? And what makes me hold to these views that I'm having? That was the thing that was hitting me. I've got college students who haven't really been in the workforce. The one young lady saying jobs that she had to leave.

What job did you have to leave at this stage in your life? I'm not saying that you didn't have one, but what job did you have to leave at this stage in your life? And, you know, then you go further. Well, tell me, what were some of the things that you went through at this time that caused you to leave? Okay. So I'm looking at it And America.

We really have some We really have some Some issues here Because it is a lot better here Than a lot of places And I don't want to discount or disrespect Any woman that may have gone through some things Like that But when you look around You do see women in America doing quite well You see them doing quite well, Once again, some have gone through some things, but you've seen women in America doing quite well. And those are facts. And also, let me give this to you, and I'll leave it there.

Someone will say, well, what does that have to do with anything? Here, you can have a license and drive a car. Why would he say that? Find out. All right, Dr. Dennis, putting you on the hard copy here. say dr dance before we start to talk too much about you know oppression.

Our attitudes towards women is there any scriptural verse you'd like to share share about that yeah when we were talking about what the show is going to be about with women and oppression and so forth a verse the verse that came to me has to do about you know loving your brother or your sister, who you see, how does that relate to you having faith in God?

So from 1 John 4, it says, verse 20, it says, If anyone says, I love God and hates a brother or a sister, he is a liar, for he does not love his brother whom he has seen, cannot love God who he has not seen. And this commandment we have from him, Whoever loves God must also love his brother or sister for that matter. So I think that applies to some of this discussion because if we truly love people like we're commanded to, then we would care what happens to them. That's right. Amen.

You know, I know Alex has been thinking about this for a while. She's put this podcast together. So, sweetie, tell us some of the verses that you kind of, because we're trying to reframe this. We're going to talk more about what the world thinks and how women feel, but this is a great chance to reframe. Sure. This is Malachi 3.5. Then I will draw near to you for judgment.

I will be swift witnessed against the sorcerers, against the adulterers, against those who swear falsely, against those who oppress the hired worker and his wages, the widow and the fatherless, against those who thrust aside the sojourner. And do not fear me, says the Lord of hosts.

And then in isaiah 54 14 in righteousness you shall be established you shall be far from oppression for you shall not fear and from terror for it shall not come near you i mean there's there's so many psalms 103 6 the lord works righteousness and justice for all those who are oppressed right and my point being if you care about.

Anyone you know the bible tells us we have to care for all the oppressed right and american women think they're oppressed but the truth is is that there is real oppression going against women around the world right now and we're we're ignoring that or we're we're not even bringing it up and it's it's kind of scary because there are so many i think especially young women that are just they don't they just don't know like you said you can drive here you just find out right you

have we have so many things here for women we're not oppressed when i think about oppression i think about i think about the taliban taking back over in afghanistan when we left right right what happened after that those same things there's no education all the women that had government jobs they now no longer have those jobs they're not allowed to work they're not allowed to drive this is the strangest thing i found out they're allowed a primary education

they're allowed university education in some instances, but they are not allowed a secondary education, which means high school.

How do they get to university then? Well, that doesn't even make sense. And then there's so many things happening. Do you want to talk about any of that before we go? Let's go back to that video because here's the point. The Bible says, okay, Jesus says, I'm the way, the truth, and the like. And that video, she shared how women felt. And then she shared the truth about what was happening to women around the world.

Now, there was some cognitive dissonance, but even that one gay lady said, you know, she at least realized maybe for the first time in her life that how she felt and what she said previously was in contradiction to the facts. You see what I'm saying? And so this is where we as Christians can be encouraged because we are supposed to share the truth. And this is where sometimes the church has not really—we talk about only Jesus—.

And salvation. But any time that we take truth and we marginalize it or we are silent, silence is an acquiesce. We're meaning that all these places where these dialogues are happening in the world today, we're saying that Christians aren't going to show up there. We're not going to share the truth in this area about who are women, how do they feel, what's happening in the world. Does that make sense?

And so this is what Christians are supposed to do. It's a great example that with the truth, we can change some perspectives. Now, I'm going to share another video on this. Alex did all of this today from Bill Maher, because again, here's somebody who is on the far left for the most part, and he is clearly saying that there's a big problem with you know, people understanding basic truths, especially about women.

You knew how wrong it was when tens of millions of South Africans had been treated like second class citizens just because of their race. But here's the thing today, right now, hundreds of millions of women are treated worse than second class citizens.

When you mandate that one category of human beings don't even have the right to show their face, that's apartheid. And it goes on in a lot of countries. For the last couple of years, women in Iran have been saying, take this hijab and shove it. Because in 2022, a young woman named Masahamini was arrested for wearing her mandatory hijab incorrectly. And then died in police custody. And now security forces have killed over 500 people protesting her death and this obvious human rights violation.

How about defunding those police? Amnesty International says that Iranian authorities are waging a war on women that subjects them to constant surveillance, beatings, sexual violence, and detention. What P. Diddy calls a hotel stay. In Iran, Me Too isn't a movement. It's what a woman says when another woman says, my life sucks.

Yasmin Mohammed is a human rights activist who got married off to a Muslim man with fundamentalist views about women, not exactly uncommon in the Muslim world, he forced her to wear the niqab all the time, including once beating her because she took her hijab off at home because the apartment had a window through which people might see in. And this was in Vancouver. Here's what Yasmin said about veiling. It just suppresses your humanity entirely.

It's like a portable sensory deprivation chamber and you are no longer connected to humanity. You can't see properly. You can't hear properly. You can't speak properly. People can't see you. You can only see them. Just little things, passing people on the street and just making eye contact and smiling, that's gone. You're no longer part of this world. And so you very quickly just shrivel up into nothing under there. And that's my answer when someone says Islamophobe. And it's not just the close.

15 countries in the Middle East, including Gaza, have laws that require women to obey their husbands. Laws. Not just Harrison Butker's opinion.

And those societies also have guardianship laws, which means a woman needs permission from her husband to work, to travel, to leave the house, to go to school, to get medical attention. Nothing? Honor killings where women are murdered by their own fathers and or brothers happen so frequently they can't even have an accurate account of how many. In 59 countries, there are no laws against sexual harassment in the workplace, and many have no laws against domestic violence or spousal rape.

20 countries have marry your rapist laws. Multiple societies have laws about what jobs women can and can't do. Make a Barbie movie about that. 30 countries practice female genital mutilation, and 650 million women alive today were married as children. Kids, if you really want to change the world and not just tie up Monday morning traffic, this is the apartheid that desperately needs your attention. gender apartheid. One thing I like about Bill Maher is that he's an equal opportunity offender.

And he's against any type of religion. I mean, he's atheist, but he has come out strongly against Islam and their oppression and stuff with women. America doesn't have the answers. Okay. America just doesn't have the answers. We see the way that women are there and that's their culture. I did some of the studies. Some of the women, some of them actually do not feel oppressed. Some of them, a good number do, and some of them could be fearful of saying they're oppressed. We don't know.

But what our country has come to have to offer is a total paradigm shift to go from being, as they may call, extreme. I would call it extreme. I wouldn't call it conservative, just extreme. Too good to be being just too lax. We asked the question about the gym. You really don't have to go to the gym to have something that grabs your attention. You can walk down the street today. And so when we do this, we have our own form. I want to go here. We do have a form of women oppression.

And I would say the place where you can see it the most is in sports.

Oh, yeah. God, I'm allowing men to compete in their events. Now, when I look at 1 Peter 3, 7, I know it refers to husbands living with their wives according to knowledge, understanding their wives. Men can't understand things about women. It takes a long time. Maybe you'll die still trying to understand more things. But we need to have an understanding of women, understanding our wives, husbands esteem their wives.

And then it speaks to them as the weaker vessel. And this isn't speaking of mentality, but their physical structure. They have less muscle mass. They have less bone density. And so when we look at this, you see them out there wrestling against women, boxing against women, swimming against women, running against women, whatever the case may be, playing soccer, volleyball. They really oppress these women. These women forget what it's like to win and begin to feel super inferior.

So yes, I believe the church has something to offer when we present Christ and then his word, and then people live in, as Dennis brought about, walking in love. But America's got to a point where it doesn't really have what to offer. It could take a countries from what we might consider bad to worse with what it is we usually want to, we lately, we've been wanting to take to other countries, the freedom and the liberty to be immoral, to be this or to be that.

And so people look at us, other countries look at us, and they say, who are you to judge us? Look at how you are. Look at what you have. Look at the a morality that runs rampant in your country. Look at what you have now turned marriage into. Look at how you, where's your honor for a pregnant woman? Where's your honor for childbirth? We honor it. Where's your honor for it? Okay. And so when we look at that, yes, those things we can juxtapose.

There are some good things here where we're in Christ, but there are a lot of things that we have to ask ourselves, the question, are we in position to help other nations? Because you're going straight across the world into different cultures and they don't necessarily like the one we're presenting right now. Sure. Yes. And I agree. Some of the things you mentioned, certainly in women's sports, right? Thankfully, Trump is willing to reverse some rulings from before, which is helpful.

But yeah, you have to look at the truth of that situation too. Like you said, men are physically stronger, right? They have more fast-switch muscle fiber. They have larger heart, larger lungs. So therefore they are cardiovascularly superior, which would make them athletically superior to women. And we could see that when they compete against women, because the women, like you said, have no chance, right? They're not winning in those areas.

There are areas of America that we have that kind of oppression, but I think that it's just that it's important to be aware of what's going on. And if we have the opportunity because some of the things that are happening to those women that have Hamas and the Taliban over them ruling do happen here in America. There are pockets in America and in Europe where they are trying to make Sharia law, right? And in some areas, some conclaves, there is Sharia law in a country that you

wouldn't expect, right? They're trying to do that, they say, here in Florida, too. In some areas, they're trying to take over and do Sharia law. So it is important that we are aware of these things. Honor killings still happen here in America, here in the UK. All over. And that could be if the girl is raped. The honor killing would be to murder her, right? And I just want to talk a little bit more about what's going on in Afghanistan since the Taliban has come back in since we left, right?

The Ministry of what they call Vice and Virtue has now been installed. It It used to be the Ministry of Women's Affairs, which was largely had a woman in charge of it, but she's not allowed to have a government job anymore, so she's got to stay at home. And some of the rulings they've come up with that no woman is allowed to travel long distance, and long is interpreted by her husband or other male relatives without a close male relative traveling with her. Her voice, it's the newest one.

Her voice is no longer allowed to be heard in public, only, and that can mean, in some areas, no talking at all, even to another female. okay? Her voice, no singing, she's only reserved to speaking at home. It's gone so far as to, if you have a house that has windows where people may see in, they make them cover them with newspaper so that nobody can tell there's a woman in there. This is just, it's gone to the point of madness.

Now they're saying that when the women wear, the reason why now we see the complete eye cover is they're actually saying that now only one eye can show. What? Well, what is the point of that? That you see both eyes and you might be so attracted to her that you would then instantly rape her? This is insanity, guys. It doesn't even make sense. She can't even see anything. How many women each year get run over wearing those things because they can't see? There's no peripheral vision.

Like that woman said, it makes you disappear. We recently saw a funny meme where this i i don't know where he's from i'm assuming afghanistan he's he's standing he's on vacation with his wife he's it's a large black umbrella he's got his arm around her taking a picture when she's actually off to the side he didn't realize that his wife was not that, folded umbrella he was putting his armor on taking picture of the black umbrella,

because he can't tell the difference literally yeah i mean and his wife's over to the side like what what's going on he couldn't tell the difference between that large you know table umbrella that was folded up and his wife and the complete burqa you think it was, after that's your question this is good sometime after the podcast today you think you might go somewhere in your vehicle yeah yeah actually yeah you think kevin to give you permission to go,

i have to ask for mr design though would i would i have to get this part passed today it's like when a parent raises a child And they don't realize how good they have it until they get out and they find out it's pretty tough making it on their own. When I see what we're talking about today and I look at the complaining in America, somebody might get upset with me about this, but this is true. I look at the complaining in America.

A lot of Americans do not realize how good they have it compared to other places.

What you call oppression. There are people who might see you on film when their country might be criticizing and they're seeing it and they're secretly saying, long to have life like that yeah yeah i long to have freedom like that we've had that yeah we we had slavery and yes we have love and suffrage and we had all of those things but do you want to reverse it or do you want to keep moving forward do you do you want to move

forward i see i see women in a lot of high places today once again i'm not taking away from things, happen with men too. Okay. Things happen with them. Men, there are men who've been harassed on job by women supervisors. Once again, it's the human heart. And so you want to ask yourself, who's creating these pictures and what's the purpose of it?

Because if you're doing it just to get like some type of political position or something like that, you may get bad for the people who may really be going through something, if they're really going, the women who may really be going through something and they want to file complaints about it and this and the other, it begins to like, okay, we see this game. We see this scheme. Okay. So when you overplay your hand on something, no one takes anything seriously when something is really happening.

But I just, I just hope that this podcast, those listening to this podcast, and some of you probably already in agreement, some may not be. I just hope it's brought out some things, and it's just a little bit that's been brought out. You can see that there's a lot of good in this country. There's a lot of good in this country, and I do believe that we have to learn to be grateful for, for the things that God has given us. I do believe that. We have to learn to

be grateful for the things that God has given us. And then we strive. If we desire better, then we strive for more. I really believe that. That's right. From the depths of my heart. So I'm gonna have my final statement, Alex, as well, but I wanna show you one more super short clip here because it kinda summarizes everything that I'm against. I want to stop and read this for you, but this is an imam here.

He's saying, but God created these women to look like humans so that they wouldn't frighten the men. Aside from that, women are just like cows, sheep, horses, and mules. Now, I'm just going to build on this, but, you know, evolution says the same thing, folks.

The way it looks at women is survival of the fittest you see it's the same approach they're just animals we are just animals right but see God says something different most people make a little mistake when they read those first passages of the Bible because Adam says, is not the name of the man. Adam is the name for mankind. And he created Adam in his image. And then it specifically says, male and female created he them.

So when God created his image, it's really mankind, humanity that's in his image. No, specifically the man and the woman together. And that's why the holy matrimony is done in the presence of God where he's merging that. And so this is the most powerful image to restore the identity of who women are. And every man that is married and loves his wife already knows this. They know that God put something so powerful inside of them.

And the other thing is they realize that if they're honest they need some help sometimes and then i'm going to make alex say what that word is that when he said help mate what does that word mean salvation azor right i know dr dozier is going to want to talk talk about that as well but tell us what what what is azor baby salvation yeah yeah david the only other time it said is when david cries out to the lord for azar azor and

the other thing is is that any man who's honest with himself also knows that he needs some help sometimes. And especially, okay, a lot of the time, especially when it comes to parenting, you know, and being a better human being. So these are all things that God is wanting to restore the image that our society and societies around the world have put against, specifically targeted against a woman.

And these are all false accusations. These are things that God wants to destroy as he restores the true value and amazingness of women. Dr. Dozier? Yeah, I was going to go there to Genesis 5, what he called the name of Adam, being a human being. He did give the man that name, Adam, but that's what the name means, human being.

And even on that portion when you went there with the helper, words there, help me help, that is me for him I know you've got to make one word help me but it's help, help that is me for him, and when you see that word me, that's speaking of that person being an aide, so he did not make her to be something less than he didn't make her to be something less than man but God made her to be a help, he made her to be a help to man.

And that has to be understood. He also, even though he said in where he says, wives, submit it to your husbands, others to the Lord, and husbands love your wives, he also said that we are to submit one to another. And so this is very important that we understand. Because if we don't understand that, we will see, one will see themselves as superior to the other, and another will see themselves as an inferior creature. A woman is not an inferior creature, male and female.

He called their name human being. I don't. He didn't say that she was made to be an animal, but I'm going to make this animal for this man. Even when you look at this, there was one made for everybody, but he did not make one for Adam. And so he brought the rib of Adam. He made the woman from the rib of Adam, woman from the womb of the man. And so that's very important. So what are you saying? The man's rib was actually like an animal's rib. No, it was a human rib.

And so that is so, it is so very important that we understand that. And it is just, it's like looking at, if you look at physical abuse, a man who beats down a woman, that usually angers a man who really is a man because you know that for the most part. That woman really doesn't have a standard chance physically with the strength that he has. She doesn't stand a chance. And then when you use your male dominance to make her feel less, she doesn't really stand much of a chance then.

But if you build her up, we know that she gets her spiritual life. I'm speaking of the believer now. We know she gets her spiritual life in Christ. But that woman who's married to that man, she gets her life, her vitality, from that husband affirming her, from that husband loving her, from that woman, from that husband caring for her. And she, in turn, can build him up.

A lot of people don't realize this. They can use this in the world where they have to realize if the woman does something and they consider disrespectful, we go back to that. You can beat her or they can come up with some other thing that could be more drastic. But here, there's consequences. So a woman, she has the strength within herself physically, but she can really tear a man down instead of affirming him by berating him.

Because here it is, why would you want to see yourself as that head of that home that you're supposed to be, but you want to see her as someone inferior to you who should be appreciating you? But from the word of God, it has to go both ways. We give one another due benevolence. We do understand the order, but the order does not necessarily mean, it doesn't mean that you are a greater being than she is.

Absolutely. And I think the bottom line is you have to remember that women were not a second thought. And this is something that God made this order, that it's only when we come together that we reproduce the image of God? And how can you, as a Christian man, denigrate the God that you love, right? And because he put that image in the woman that's next to you.

And so that is the view we have to have, that these are God's children, but more specifically, that the part of us, there's something missing in us without them to really see the fullness of God's image. And I think that is the only way we can love and respect God. And my wife is definitely a woman of consequence. Amen. All right, Dr. Doge, you pray us out, brother. Oh, go ahead, sweetie.

Let me see something. I just want to say really quickly, following what Dr. Dozer said, there's a lot of young women that poo-pooed the traditional marriage of what the church wants and influences people to have. But I just want to mention what Dr. Dozer was saying is that, yes, that is done with love, that man leading is done with love, that the Bible tells the man, right? That he is to love his wife like Jesus loved the church, right? That's his bridegroom.

And I just wanna say that, you know, this view that you might have of how that goes, would Jesus say, you have to do this? Would he put his thumb on you and press you down? He doesn't, he wouldn't. And so that traditional marriage is a beautiful thing. It's a give and take, these negotiations happen. And I just wanna say like, it's not all one way. And I think sometimes when you're young, you think that and you feel like that's what that means.

But it's a constant negotiation because the man respects you, right? It's not just my way or no way. He does lead. That's right. That's the way it's supposed to be. And that's the natural order of it. But that doesn't mean he does it with cruelty and he does it with mocking and dissension. Not at all. He does that with love because that's what Jesus tells him to do. That's what Jesus would do, right? And it is. If you're an adult, you're going to talk about it. like an adult.

And so when you see that traditional marriage. I would just say, look into it. Don't necessarily think that that woman is being lorded over and she's being dominated. That's not what's happening. My husband is lovely. These men, these are lovely men. They respect their wives. They treat their wives with respect, right? Because it's God first above your spouse, right?

And if you put everything in the right order, you have that kind of love to give in your life to those people that are in front of you, that are around you. You're going to give that love to everyone. And that's the way it's supposed to be. And I can tell you the bottom line is, is my wife does lead in lots of areas. Thank God. And sometimes my wife says, you need to love me better. And sometimes she could say to me, you could love me a little less.

In other words, I'd really like you to go somewhere else right now. Right. And this is all normal, everyday things that happen. But the bottom line for all of us is that if you love God, you would not treat His image, no His children, this way. These are God's children, and these are the princes and princesses in God's kingdom.

Dr. Dozier, pray. Father, we bless you. We thank you. We honor you today in the name of Jesus. Thank you, Lord God, that you've graced us to have this particular podcast, and you've graced us to have this subject. And I pray, Lord, that people have been edified and you in turn will be glorified.

I pray, Lord God, that even if there were people who had some questions that we give us some answers, even if there were men who were listening and they found themselves being dominant, that they would consider. And if there were women who were feeling as though that they are second-class citizens, that they would recognize, Lord God, that you have blessed them.

To be in a place, those who are here, and I'll count to some in other countries, to be in a place where they do have freedoms and at the same time understand the order that you've set. And the order that you've set is not an oppressive order, but it's an order that is a prescription for us to have overcoming lives. We thank you, Lord God, once again, Lord, for hearing us. We do give you honor, glory, and praise in Jesus' name. Amen. Amen. And we're going to come back to

some of this subject in one of the other podcasts. So God bless you guys.
