Video summary
In a recent discussion, Brett Cooper explores the shifting perspectives among women regarding motherhood and career priorities, challenging the notion that this is solely a conservative phenomenon. He references studies indicating that over half of all women now view motherhood as equally or more important than their careers, emphasizing that these are not necessarily conservatives but rather normal women who reject hookup culture and desire marriage without wishing to label themselves politically. Cooper argues that while biological instincts drive the urge for children, modern culture aggressively discourages this path through fear-mongering tactics. He cites absurd examples of societal pressure, such as warnings about clothes no longer fitting or career setbacks in cubicles, contrasting these with the reality that creating a child is an amazing endeavor worth pursuing despite the challenges. The conversation highlights a "quiet revolution" where women are waking up to cultural and political issues they previously accepted without question. Cooper notes an influx of influencers on social media discussing topics ranging from Title IX violations under President Biden's administration to transgender rights, signaling that many young women have realized their previous alignment with certain progressive narratives was misplaced. This awakening is particularly evident among women in their 30s who face ridicule for prioritizing careers over dating; instead of offering support or suggesting a realignment of priorities and vulnerability as the path forward, they are often treated as cautionary tales by those on both sides of the political spectrum. Cooper criticizes this dehumanizing approach, noting that it reduces complex human struggles to mere footballs in culture wars rather than addressing genuine needs for connection and help. A significant portion of the dialogue addresses the health crisis facing women, specifically concerning birth control and hormone regulation which many feel have been gaslit by OBGYNs and Big Pharma for decades. Cooper observes that this realization is transcending political lines, with women on both the left and right beginning to reevaluate medical advice they received over the last 20 or 30 years. He suggests that normalizing egg freezing at a young age, perhaps even as an insurance policy rather than just a luxury item like a trip to Tulum, could be a beneficial step for women's long-term reproductive health options. This broader skepticism extends beyond relationships and dating into the realm of personal biology, indicating a comprehensive reevaluation of how society has treated female bodies and choices. Cooper also touches on his views regarding public figures like Nicki Minaj, using her brief alignment with conservative talking points as an example of why it is unwise to adopt entire personas or absolve individuals of all their past values based on single issues. He argues that while one can acknowledge a specific point of agreement without accepting the person's entire worldview, the internet often fails at this nuance by either fully embracing or completely dismissing figures like Minaj. This lack of critical engagement prevents meaningful discourse and reinforces polarized echo chambers where people grab narratives to fit their teams rather than seeking genuine understanding. Ultimately, Cooper concludes that while he hopes these cultural shifts translate into political redirections for the betterment of the world, the immediate impact is a profound awakening among women about relationships, health, and the lies they have been told throughout their lives.

what is the opinion on motherhood among
jenz at the
moment it's interesting do you see that
study that
said that it's over half of women do
believe that
motherhood is just as or more important
than a career just from a couple of
weeks ago but they will not these are
not conservatives these are just normal
women they don't want to Brand
themselves as conservatives they want to
get married they believe the hookup
culture is bad and they believe the
motherhood is important and so I think
deep
down cuz these are biological instincts
I do believe that women have those urges
and want that I think that it is the
culture coming in very heavy-handedly
with the most absurd reasons not to like
the list which is just
365 examples of fearmongering can't wear
cute heels anymore got to M Brun brunch
with the girls yes and it's like some of
them I'll read and be like oh like get
that part of giving birth does not sound
fun but the end result is worth it and I
don't care because I want to have a
child but a huge portion of them are oh
your clothes don't fit properly and oh I
might not be able to go back to my
career you you want to go back and sit
in a cubicle when you could have this
like beautiful amazing child that you've
created with the love of your life and
you're worried about going back and
working for the man like I thought you
hated the
patriarchy does not make sense um but no
there is a lot of
fearmongering um there are more women
than people think that are waking up
though I was actually planning an
episode for next week about this there
have been been an influx of women just
on my social media
alone speaking out about cultural issues
social issues political issues talking
about voting for Trump um these are not
political accounts these are random
influencers just girls on their you know
private personal social medias talking
about the things that Biden is doing in
regards to Title 9 the transgender issue
that they have been completely woken up
realizing oh I don't actually want this
anymore mix that in with the women that
are in their 30s they get made fun of
constantly on X for crying in their car
about the fact that they can't meet a
guy because they prioritize their career
over dating and then they just get
ripped to shreds by people on the right
which I think is so problematic but they
are struggling this kind of self owns uh
you know as you said before people on
the right that supposed to be proam
saying but you're going to give up your
career you just manag to find your
success this is one of the sort of real
uh areas I think of failure especially
for the right supposed to be the ones
that are rational we position ourselves
up against these you know super
emotional [ __ ] people on the left go
dude you've just taken the piss out of a
woman who is the realization that you've
said that they're going to have what do
you want do you wanted to create a
[ __ ] time machine and go back in time
that's evidently not going to happen and
someone opens up to give the message as
opposed to going see this stupid broad
she shouldn't have listened to blah blah
blah you go okay is it a cautionary tale
yes but there's a human on the other
side of that it's so dehumanizing so
much this is why I'm so bored with most
of politics and sort of culture War
stuff because everybody sees every one
as a political football of some kind
that they can either kick away from them
or sort of grab and bring onto their
team perfect example of this remember
when Nicki Minaj went antiva for a
couple of weeks and the right was like
Nikki come I'm like Nikki Minaj are we
being serious but oh there's this brief
sort of sliver where their talking point
coincides with my desire to push this
particular narrative yeah and you hold
on and you're like I'll ignore
everything else and it's you know and
I'm somebody obviously that reacts to
culture I talk about the news you know
that is something that I would talk
about on the show but it's like you you
walk a fine line of acknowledging that
this is interesting you know sure that's
cool that's you know one thing that I
agree with Nicki Minaj on but you don't
have to suddenly absolve her of every
other value that she's ever had that I
disagree with and I think that's the
real problem like you can say oh that's
cool I don't agree with the rest of the
things that you're doing but that's
interesting I wonder how she got to that
point that's what's interesting to me
and then looking at the reaction and
obviously I mean it's called the comment
section that's what I do but seeing how
the internet responds to it that's also
the interesting part I don't need to
adopt her I don't need her to suddenly
come over to my side um so yeah I
completely agree with that and I think
that that response to women does not
help us at all that response to women
who are you know 31 single desperately
need help finding somebody the response
is yeah the response is not screw you oh
boohoo the response is no there is there
will still be somebody out there for you
I believe that if you you know realign
your priorities if you do put yourself
out there if you become open and you're
willing to be vulnerable I do believe in
that
wholeheartedly but then you use that as
a again the cautionary tale like you
said of like young women this is what
could have this is what we warned this
is what feminism said you wouldn't care
about you won't care when you're 31 and
you have no kids and you've frozen your
eggs and you you know you're working for
the man and you have some corporate
career it won't matter obviously it does
that being said I have this idea that
normalizing uh the gift of avf egg
embryo freezing or at least like egg
freezing at 21 would be one of the best
things that you could do I think that
instead of giving a girl a fancy trip to
Tulum with her and her friends or a nice
watch or whatever I don't know what
American families do but like 21 tends
to be like a big and getting your egg
Frozen is not cheap yeah but imagine
just that insurance policy just in case
something happens I think that would be
a good way to look at stuff but yeah I
uh so is it your belief that we are
seeing a kind of quiet revolution of
young women beginning to see the
importance of motherhood and sort of
long-term relationship is this a push
back against casual sex against hookup
culture is this tied in with the
conservative movement or is this totally
separate is it just siloed off onto
dating I think that you can smush them
together if you want um and I think that
there is a lot of overlap but I don't
think that this is a lot of women
suddenly being like you know I'm
conservative I'm going to vote for Trump
I'm ready to be a Trad wife give me my
you know frolicking sundress that's not
what it is it's
women being intelligent and having
selfawareness and looking at the world
around them and going this doesn't sit
right I don't know if that's going to
translate into votes I would love it to
translate into votes because I think
that the world needs some literal you
know political redirection but I do
think that it speaks volumes about our
culture and the lies that women have
been told not just about their
relationships and dating and motherhood
but women are also having a really rude
awakening about our health I mean birth
control is such a huge topic right now
mhm our health are OBGYNs who have
gaslit so many women for years at this
point about their health about our
hormones I think that there's just a in
general women are looking around going
oh my gosh what we've been told and fed
for the last 20 30 years none of this
makes sense we need to take a step back
and reevaluate and think we're seeing
this in real time and some of it you
know is even happening on the right
because a lot of women on the right are
you know waking up to Big Pharma and you
know their health it's happening in
every single political pocket but I it's
just very very cool and I'm glad that
it's happening in other news this
