• 00:15:00 This lecture discusses the harmful effects of feminism on women. According to the speaker, 78% of women who have received feminist counseling have said they would quit their jobs if they could. These women cite psychological breakdown, nervous breakdown, and deteriorated mental conditions as the reasons they would like to leave their jobs. Men, on the other hand, enjoy the benefits of not having to commit to a woman, being able to go from one woman to another without any responsibilities, and not having to provide for children. This raises the question of whether feminism has actually harmed women more than it has helped them.
