The War on Lesbians & Wholesome Families

In this thought-provoking discussion, Malcolm and Simone delve into the reasons behind the far left's visceral reactions to traditional, wholesome lifestyles. They explore how the ultra-progressive ideology views emotional pain as a form of violence and how this leads to a disdain for happy, heteronormative relationships. The couple also touches on the concerning trend of trans activists targeting vulnerable communities, particularly lesbians and autistic children. Simone shares her unique perspective as a former progressive woman now living a fulfilling, traditional life with Malcolm. Join them as they unpack the complexities of this controversial topic and shed light on the importance of specialization and trust in healthy relationships.

Malcolm Collins: [00:00:00] any form of emotional pain is considered a form of violence and something that should be systematically avoided. So if it

Simone Collins: causes you pain through cognitive dissonance, like maybe I would have wanted to have, we're going

Malcolm Collins: to get there. We're going to get there, but you jumped to the answer, but we got to get to their point by point. I was watching lesbians complaining about their communities being invaded and I just can't imagine What it would feel like . Imagine you're living in a society where

like space Marines exist. Okay. There are these people that are 20 percent larger than you, five times stronger than you.. But now these people who are very sexually aggressive are demanding that you suck their penises.

And now everyone who you thought before was like part of your safe space is now saying that you're a bigot and you're not really straight because you won't suck these men's penises and so now you're kicked out of even these safe [00:01:00] spaces. Honestly, I think that's

Simone Collins: how it feels.

That's how it feels to them, for sure.

Would you like to know more?

Malcolm Collins: Hello, Simone! I'm excited to be here with you today! And I want to talk about an idea that I had recently, and I actually had it a while ago, but it's something that I've really been reflecting on in my thinking, is the vitriol we see certain, far left, urban monoculture activists react to wholesome things with.

Simone Collins: And how do you find wholesome here?

Malcolm Collins: What you're doing right now, being with your kid, they'll see a loving family. Or they'll see. They're like, that looks so heteronormative. That looks so no. You see this, you'll see a trad wife and they'll be like, this isn't a, this is misogynistic

Simone Collins: for

Malcolm Collins: her to be living this life or for her to be in a happy relationship with a [00:02:00] straight white man and here I can put the, I've been attacked

You went out with a white male? I was a freshman. Fresh person

Malcolm Collins: and I have been thinking why this.

Extremist reaction to this. And it occurred to me that from the perspective of ultra far left ideology wholesomeness and a wholesome lifestyle. is literally a lifestyle of violence. It is a form of violence against marginalized communities from their perspective, they would call marginalized communities.

How

Simone Collins: so if it's 100 percent sovereign in one's own

Malcolm Collins: house? Exactly. How because that is an interesting question. And so we need to go into their world structure. So the first aspect of their world structure that we need to understand is it is a cultural system that is completely defined. And I talk about this all the time, so I'll be very quick in summarizing this.

Defined around any form of emotional pain is [00:03:00] considered a form of violence and something that should be systematically avoided. So if it

Simone Collins: causes you pain through cognitive dissonance, like maybe I would have wanted to have, we're going

Malcolm Collins: to get there. We're going to get there, but you jumped to the answer, but we got to get to their point by point.

So you look at something like the Hayes movement, the healthy at every size movement, why would you hide from women mostly that being overweight. Is has negative long term health repercussions because it causes in the moment pain and therefore it's an evil thing to do because in the moment emotional pain and they force the evil thing to do or you tell them, your lifestyle will not lead you to long term happiness.

That is a form of violence against because you have caused this emotional pain to them. This is where things like misgendering and stuff like that, they're like, this is a form of violence and it should be outlawed. Like it's obviously not a form of violence. So then how are they defining violence?

They're defining violence around things that make them feel upset with [00:04:00] what they've allowed their lives to become. To call somebody out for their own failures as a form of violence.

Simone Collins: Wow. I could see that when our kids fight, it's typically because one kid sees the other kid having a really good time with a toy.

And then suddenly their entire life is misery because they do not have that one toy. And we even, for example, have bought copies of some toys. We have bumper cars, for example, and we have. Two identical orange bumper cars. Cause you very intelligently. The kids have noticed they make

Malcolm Collins: slightly different noises.

Simone Collins: Yes. So they're like we're like, there's another bumper car. Just get in the empty identical bumper. Cause they're like, no, and they see it. And yes they experience real pain.

Malcolm Collins: Actually, before we go further with this topic, I would like people to reflect on this in their own life. How much of the things they desire is just because they saw somebody else having fun with it.

And now they [00:05:00] want it. Keep in mind, I think

Simone Collins: everything makes a lot more sense though, once you've had toddlers and siblings,

Malcolm Collins: yeah. How hard coded this is in us, this world of status signaling. And I saw somebody else who had these things and they are either high status or seem to be happy.

Therefore I want these things. That's why I need that

Simone Collins: thing. Yes.

Malcolm Collins: The trad wife marketing works so well to market an idea and a lifestyle, right? But

Simone Collins: we'll hold on though, because for whatever reason, trad wives don't appear to be watching. the progressive YouTubers and the progressive commentators and going, Oh, why don't I have my, I don't know what do they have?

Malcolm Collins: Nobody wants their lives. Like I, I look at the, these ultra progressive lives. I just don't think anybody wants them. They're like, yeah, but I get to do whatever I want and be affirmed for being whoever I want to be. And we're, meanwhile the other side of the aisle is like, But won't that like really mess up your head and cause a lot of mental health issues and make you fundamentally unfulfilled and they're like don't [00:06:00] say that's violence

Simone Collins: because intuitively I would expect like when I model my progressively raised self, I would assume that when people from more conservative cultures see my progressive lifestyle of getting to do whatever I want in the moment that feels good.

That they would be jealous Oh, I'm fasting on Sunday. It's conference Sunday and I can't eat or whatever
