39 min
•May 16, 202615 days agoSummary
Michael Knowles and Melonie Mac compete in a trivia-based debate about feminism, covering statistics on dating preferences, suffrage history, gender dynamics, and modern feminist identification. The episode uses a game show format to explore data-driven claims about gender relations, workplace equality, and generational attitudes toward feminism.
Insights
- Gen Z women show declining feminist identification (53%) compared to older generations, suggesting potential generational shift away from feminist identity despite higher workforce participation
- Significant gap between stated beliefs and actual behavior in feminist-related surveys, with respondents claiming actions they likely don't take (e.g., 25% claim to stop watching media for lack of female characters)
- College-educated women initiate divorces at dramatically higher rates (90%) than general population (70%), indicating education and economic independence correlate with relationship dissolution
- Dating app dynamics reveal severe gender imbalance with only 14% of male profiles receiving right-swipes versus 46% of female profiles, creating vastly different dating market experiences
- Historical data shows women's suffrage was a minority position even among women (96% opposed or indifferent in 1896 Massachusetts), challenging modern narratives about universal female support
Trends
Declining feminist identity among Gen Z women despite higher educational and workforce participation ratesGrowing skepticism toward feminist messaging among younger women, with preference for traditional relationship dynamicsIncreasing awareness of gender differences in relationship violence, particularly in same-sex relationshipsDivergence between stated feminist values and actual consumer behavior in media consumptionRising female representation in film protagonists (42% in 2024) but with questions about sustainability and market performanceGenerational political polarization with Gen Z women splitting between progressive and conservative values rather than unified ideologyShift in home cooking frequency among women from 92% (1960s) to 68% (late 2000s) with recent recovery to 72% (2024)Persistent gender gap in physical strength metrics (women at ~60% of male grip strength) affecting practical life outcomesIncreased female gaming participation claims (47%) driven by mobile gaming inclusion, not traditional gamingGrowing recognition of data manipulation in social science research on gender and feminist topics

Full Transcript
If you have just two emotional women that just keep going, keep going, and like, it's like, if a woman settles down with another woman, she already lost the game. That is the intro clip to this episode, and there is no debate about it. Fat Man, Little Boy, and Feminism, three of the most destructive creations of the 20th century. Responsible for wiping out entire generation, destroying society, and also making two large explosions. Now, some would argue today's topic is by far the most destructive of the three. Feminism. And to discuss this weapon of mass destruction, we've assembled two people who many assume must be feminist. In one corner, Michael Knowles, who codes feminist because his physical aptitude testing would land him among most adolescent women. Real nice. And the other, Melanie Mack, who codes feminist because she dresses like a mychemical romance groupie. Seventeen questions, one winner, this is Face Off Feminism. Welcome to Share Everybody. Great work on that intro. Hi. I love that description. Wow. I am a big mychemical romance fan, so it does check out. Yeah. Regardless of my views on Mr. Davies, it's lovely to see you, Melanie. I'm glad to have you here. Hi. It's been a long time. I'm so happy to be back. Okay. So, look, all of my knowledge of feminism is basically just been imbued by the popular culture with a little Mary Wollstonecraft and others thrown in. Are you, you're obviously a radical third-wave feminist, right, Melanie? Oh, no, definitely not. So, yeah, my experience with feminism is people assuming I'm going to be a feminist and then getting really shocked when I say things that are not feminist. So, yeah, it's a fun time. All right. Well, before we repeal the 19th, let's get, let's get going on some of these questions. I'll read a question. Each host has 30 seconds to scribble down their answer. Loser, they must deliver a glowing 30-second pitch for the winner. You all ready? Oh, okay. I'm ready. All right. Here we go. One, what percentage of American men said they would be less likely to date someone who identifies as feminist? Now, we're not going to do closers with going over because Michael loves doing all this like test-takes. Oh, you have to do closers with going over or else you can tie. We could, yeah, we could do America Tog, yeah, we could tie. It's fine. But I don't want someone to do like 49 and someone to do like 50 or something like that. I don't know. It goes like whoever. Okay. But that would only, Ben, that would only be a problem if we were, one of us was saying the answer after the others was revealed. This is just a way, why do I even let you run this show? That's the closest to that going over. All right, fine, fine. All right. Closers without going over. Okay. Hold on. Hold on. Now you got this clock on me. Uh. Now this is men saying this. I just want to know if they're being honest or if they're scared that women are going to hear them say it, but yeah. Clearly the latter, but all right. We'll go ahead and say it. Yeah. Michael, what do you have? I say 39%. Okay. I said 62%. If they're being honest. The correct answer is 55% of that. Let's go. Oh, yeah. I want to point out, had we done your stupid rule, Ben? No, I guess I stole. No, and we done your stupid rule. I would have lost that one, but now I won that one. All right. I like my rule, Ben. It's almost like there's some home cooking going on in your microwave. There's a bonus question for both of you. What percent of women said they'd be less likely to date a man that said they're a feminist? Are they being honest with themselves? Yeah, that's what I want to know too. And remember the house cooking here, Melanie. Well done. I'm really banking on them being honest, or at least mostly. All right, what do we have? 29%. The correct answer is 39%. Let's go. 39%. I like, if they were being honest, I would be just cleaning house right now. Even if they were being honest with themselves, I bet they wouldn't even admit it to themselves. That's true. I don't think they would. No. Because if you actually see it in practice, are these feminist women going after these soy male feminists usually not? Yeah. Oh, there's nothing hotter than making me pick up the check, right? No one actually believes that. They might say that. Exactly. Exactly. All right. Number two, in Massachusetts before suffrage passed, roughly what share of women were said to be either opposed to suffrage or indifferent to it? This is A, 52%, B, 68%, C, 81%, or D, 96%. What percent said they were opposed or indifferent to? In what year are we talking? I don't want to give you the year. What we mean before, if it's 1603, that's going to be diverse. Massachusetts, I mean, I don't know if that helps. Yeah, Massachusetts was settled in 1620, but that could be anywhere from 1620 to 1920. It was 1896 or something like that. I see. I prided at you. You said I want to tell you this, but then you did tell me what it was. Dude, you're just abusing me this whole episode. Did they take it out? Sometimes if you're hosting it. Okay, all right. I got my answer. I think. All right, what do you have? Okay. The C? Yeah, I think we picked the same one. Yeah. No, C was 81%. The correct answer is 96%. Oh, it was 96%. Wow. Wow. Yeah. Had that been closest for that not going over, I would have gotten that point. 96%. I almost pushed it. I almost clicked. Because yeah, people don't realize what a minority view women's suffrage is. And there were women who were opposed to it who wrote really eloquently, really beautifully their arguments against it. And it wasn't about women being inferior or men. What it really was about was reformulating the bedrock unit of politics from the family to the individual. Right. And it's actually a very profound political philosophical view that the blue-haired suffragettes, the purple-haired, well, there's one purple-haired lady that I like at least. But the rest of them, the ones in the early 20th century, they really were the radical feminists that you know today. They were witches, plus sechange, plus c'est la meme shows. Yeah. And these other women are like, hey, I don't want to be like that. I don't want to live like that. So to note too, because I was going through and proofing these to make sure they're correct in chat GPT, and we got to this one, it was like, just star asterisks by it. Just so you know, this is using a lot of anti-women propaganda and like anti-subragettes. I was like, okay, this is a real or not, but yeah. Holy cow. Are you sure you want to do this? Just because it's propaganda doesn't mean it's not true. Like, are you sure you want to pursue this? All right. Number three, what percent is the proposed syntax in Florida for only fans creators? Is this the James Fishback thing? The guy running for governor? I think I read about this. Yeah. What would that percent have to do? I think I did too. Oh. Is it? Closest without going over. Syntax on only fans earnings? Yes. 75. 20. The correct answer is 50 percent. Ha! No, and he's back in the game. Finally. Hoisted with my own petard. That's frustrating. Let's go. All right. Yeah, you think if he was trying to remove it, they should have just gone to 75 though. Yeah, 99 or so. Yeah. Yeah. It's time for my favorite question. This is the Pickle Jar question. If the average man is at 100 percent grip strength, where does the average woman land? Okay, so how close is she to the 100 percent line? This may apply to nulls, I'm not sure. Yeah, real nice. I opened a jar. I actually had trouble with it. Alisa comes in, I was doing work in the office. She comes in, she was like, Mac, you got to open this. I was like, yeah, yeah. It's a little slippery. I don't, you know, I think my hands are a little greasy or something, but I got it open. There you go. All right. What do you have? 42 percent. 42, 25. The correct answer is about 60 percent. So about half. Oh, okay. Hold this back in it. Man, they must have had a lot of like soy boys in the study like to compare. I know. No, they weren't all being, they weren't giga chats like your boy. Yeah. Yeah. I'm thinking like, yeah, or my, I'm like, okay, comparing my strength to my dad's, my dad is like a billion times stronger than me. So yeah, anyway. Yeah. It's kind of a faulty study because it's just the grip strength, but a jar is like full body. So it's like, there's a huge difference actually. Oh, okay. All right. I feel you. All right. Number five, which of these is the iconic feminist analogy slash slogan from the 1970s in the women's movement? Is it a woman needs a man like a bird needs shoes? B, a woman needs a man like a fish needs a bicycle. C, a woman needs a man like a plant needs perfume or D, a woman needs a man like Knowles needs a gym membership. Yeah. Okay. It's just going to be the whole episode, huh? It's just going to be the whole episode. Wow. Okay. Roasted. I had one once, but you keep trying to take over the show. I just got my gym membership again recently. I'm excited. Hope you're working out enough for the two of us, Melanie. Yeah. We'll have a pickle jar opening contest for the next episode. Yeah. You guys have. Okay. It's B. B. That is correct. B. Oh, okay. Let's go. It's getting tight. All right. On Tinder, what percentage of profiles do women typically swipe right on showing interest? What percent of guys get the swipe? All right. What do you have? 22. 0.5%. And you're right because it's 14%. Melanie takes it. Yay. Like one in 10 guys are actually getting the like. You know, I've never. There's like a ton more guys on there than girls. And yeah, it's yeah. That's rough, man. I've never been on the dating apps because I missed it. I just barely missed it, but sweet little Lisa and I got back together right before they really became a thing. My buddies would do it and they just be, I mean, they could automate like one of those little birds in the water, you know, to just like keep swiping every single chick. But I know it was worse for the guys. I didn't realize it was 14%. That's bad. It's really rough for the guys. Yeah. Just so FYI, men, people they're attracted to swiping right on is 46%. So half the ladies out there are dateable according to that. Dude, I would have thought, I would have thought just as a number, I would have thought it would be 75% because you just think you don't need to actually talk to them if you match. It's just like up your numbers, right? If you're... That's true. That's true. Wow. Okay. Yeah. Go to helixsleep.com slash Knowles.

All right, number seven, what percentage of divorces in the U.S. are initiated by women? All right, we have... Just slightly under 70%. The correct answer is 70% on the dot. Wow, that's pretty good. I think it's actually like 69.8 or something. I was looking this up somewhat recently, but I'll take my point either way. But did you look up the percent of when it's college educated women? Oh, it's like 150%. So I couldn't find a good percentage of women. So I couldn't find a specific study on it, but just citing some different law firms like Whitney and Law and Irwin and Irwin. They say 90% of college educated women initiate the divorce. 90%. That's bad. That's bad. Wow. Sweet little Alisa has her PhD, but I think it's kind of like the IQ Belcher meme. She's so smart that she realizes she shouldn't divorce me and get half my stuff. She should kill me and get all my stuff. That's how she would take care of me. There you go. That's something. 5-3, Michael. All right. Whoa. We're in striking differences. I didn't crush. Clearly, Michael's a better feminist. There is some sexual inequality going on on this program. Many people have said, number eight, what percentage of Gen Z women now identify as feminists? This is just Gen Z. All right. What do you have? 67. 60. Y'all are both dead wrong. It is 53%, but Melody's closer. Whoa. Great. That's a white film. Hey, that's good because I know that Gen Z men are getting more conservative, but I thought women weren't. But hey, maybe this is an improvement. That's great. I think they divide politically where people try to say Gen Z is more right wing or more left wing, and the reality is they're just more of everything. So the left wing zoomers are all trannies, and the right wing zoomers are Nazis. You see, on average, they probably stay exactly the same. But I'm glad to see that on the feminine. That's a major movement. That's great. Wow. Good stuff. Well, I do think when I look through TikTok and stuff, I see a lot of these girls, these young girls that are like, hey, I'm sick of this. I don't want to pay for dates. I don't want to be in the workforce. I want to stay at home. And so a lot of them, it actually makes sense. Okay. The kids are all right. That was one of my favorite reaction videos that Knowles did, where it's just like these women, these liberal women discovering conservative men for the first time. Like, oh my gosh, he paid for my meal. He opened my door. You crazy. Like, whoa. Yeah, this is actually the first generation, though, that's been the majority. So it's not looking that great. Okay. So, just FYI. All right. All right. So, in 1969, in the 1960s, about 92% of women reported cooking at home. Now, that number has dropped in the late 2000s. What has it dropped to? Cooking at home how frequently? I didn't get a frequency of it, but... Well, it's not what, once a year, I think most people have cooked at home once a year. It's not, you're talking every night, every week. This is a ridiculous question. I would assume in their general, like, most, most days. Most, okay. I think most days, yeah. Okay, we're just making it up. Most days. Okay, that's fine. I think Melanie's taken over now. Here we go. Yeah, okay, that's fine. Better than anything. Yeah, I'm the host now. Okay, 92 in the 60s. In the late 2000s? Yeah. Ah, bro, come on. It's just you went in the 20s. Okay. Okay. Melanie's redoing it. Yeah, you got it. I'm redoing it because I was counting it for, like, now. Okay. All right. What do you have, Michael? 67 again. 67. What? Dude, it's 68. I just know it. Let's go! Oh, wow. You've been reading my notes. I'm shocked. That was scary. 20% Melanie, that. I know a ton of women don't cook. A ton. I cook, I'm just saying. What do you cook? What's your specialty? Well, I mostly do, like, carnivore meals, carnivore or keto, but mostly carnivore. So I make, like, a lot of steaks, a lot of just, like, ground beef and eggs and breakfast foods, like, eggs and sausages and bacon and things like that. So it's pretty easy, but I do cook. Nice. And you're still alive. Well, no, now they say that's healthy. Yes. Now, because the food pyramid flipped, now it's like, if you eat broccoli, you're a big, fat glutton. And if you eat bacon and eggs for every meal, you're a healthy guy. Yeah, thanks, RFK. Love that. And you had your nicotine yet today. You need to have your daily dose. Okay, all right, all right, Mr. Secretary, I will. Okay. I didn't want to use the most recent data, because there was one that came out in 2024, I believe, and it actually has increased, because this is just a more extreme one, but I think it's at, like, 72% now. So that's a good sign. That's a good sign. Oh, that is good. That's good, then. Okay. All right. According to the UN Women's Press Release in 2022, how many years will it take to achieve full gender equality at the current rates? How many years did they say it's going to take? According to whom? All right, according to the UN Women's Press Release in 2022. Global women's equality? Yes, it global, or just in America. It's got to be global. It's got to be global, yeah. Oh, man, if we're going global, I'll bust it. How often is it? It's like global, so yeah, you'd say that makes you think it'd be a 5,200 years. You've got to count Muslim countries. Yeah, but it's the UN which is wrong about it. That is true. All right. All right, Maudi, what do you have? A million years. What do you have? I said 130, and then I drew a little picture of a lady in a hijab, or not a hijab, Birka. I'm thinking Muslim countries, like, if you're going to count global, a million years. Yeah, I think they were being a little optimistic when they said 300 years. So, Noel does get the point. Okay, okay. I mean, the real answer, if you really want to know, like, that's what the UN says, and I'll take the point, but the real answer for, like, equality the way they mean it, like, feminist equality, is infinity years. That's how long it's going to take. You know how long it'll take to get that grip strength from the pickle jar to the pickle? It's no chance. Oh, yeah. All right, number 11, according to the CDC, how much more likely are lesbian women to report experiencing domestic violence compared to heterosexual women closest without going over? How much more likely? Meaning. Morning, like, more likely. Well, here's the problem. Let me just explain to you the statistical problem that you didn't consider. Let's say straight women, it's 50%. Obviously, these are made up numbers. Well, let's say it's 50%, and lesbians, it's 75%. You probably would count that as 25% more likely, but 75%, compared to 50%, is actually 50% more likely, because it's, the delta is 25%, and 25% into 50% is half. It's persuasive argument, Michael. Now, what percent? Well, it's like, okay, my question is just, is it, are you doing it based on percentage points or percent? Meaning, X number of straight women versus Y number of lesbians. If you're in a lesbian relationship, what percent, like, how much more likely are you in a relationship? I know you keep repeating that question. I'm saying, are you looking? Are they being honest? That's how I wrote it, though. I know it's how you, but I'm saying, is it like, there's a survey of all women, and here's the likelihood that they're, and you know, for straight women, it's 42, and for lesbians, it's 62, and you're just subtracting one from the other? Percentage points. Percentage points, thank you. Okay. That's crucial. That is? Okay. I want to know if they're being honest, too. Because, oh, yeah. How many of these women are admitting that they're quite jumped? All right, what do you have, Michael? How many percentage points? 17 percentage points. The correct answer is about 25%. Ah! After that calculus, Michael did. They're being honest, because literally every lesbian I've ever met has been in domestic violence with their other lesbians. It is? Yeah. It's funny, because it surprises people to find out that the most violent relationships are lesbian relationships. Yeah. It surprises people because apparently they've never met women. I don't know. Like, it doesn't surprise me at all. Women get a little, can I say it, a little emotional sometimes. I'm not saying all the time I... They do. We're emotional creatures. Yeah. They do. And there's no... The other thing is with a man, even some men lose their temper and stuff, too. But men are told, because men know that we can really be violent, men are taught to restrain their violence from a very young age. Whereas women are always taught that they can get away with anything. And they're not actually all that physically strong. And they're never told, like, don't you ever hit a woman? Don't you ever... It's like, no, they get into cat fights. And men tend to de-escalate better. So it's just like, okay, you know, let's calm down. Or I'm sorry, you know. Men tend to do that more than women. If you have just two emotional women that just keep going, keep going. And like, yeah. You can't even have women as roommates. Women can even be roommates. Yeah, women are competitive with each other in general. Like, just look at how many female friendships actually stay in the test of time, not nearly as many as male friendships. Yes. The one confounding factor, though, of this statistic is that lesbians don't exist. So I don't know how they got that. That can be a question for another time. That's also true. I agree with that. So it's confusing. Yeah, I think the actual, it's just lesbians are lesbians because they can't get the man that they want. So they just like, but if they could get the man they want, they would. Or there might be a very small percentage of those who were like abused and they're scared of men because of that. But otherwise, it's like if a woman settles down with another woman, she already lost the game. It's like she couldn't get the man. So she just didn't want to be alone. That is the intro clip to this episode. And there is no debate about it. Very well done. Very well done. All right. Number 12. First wave feminism was most associated with suffrage. Second wave feminism was workplace equality and reproductive rights. Third wave feminism was individualism and girl power. What is fourth wave feminism most associated with? These are the terms most associated with each one of those. And there's two answers that you could have here. Wait, is it a new one or still want to, or still want to, or still want to? We're currently in fourth wave feminism now. Right. So like, is there a thing, is, can it be a repeat on what they're focusing on or is it a new thing? These are two new things. Two new things. Oh man. You could have said, I'm not giving you a hint. You ask me questions all the time. All right. What the, uh, uh, man, what else do they want? You'd be surprised. There's two possibilities. What were you born? There was a couple more, but I narrowed it down to two. These are the most popular ones. All right, Nils, what do you have? I said inter-sectionality. Ah, so you've been there. What do you have, Milly? I'd say they want complete dominance over everybody and they also want to bow down to the trunes. So, they want to be replaced by men. I, it makes sense. Okay. The thing is, before you even say it, Ben, those are probably not on the list, but she is right. I mean, that is true. I mean, yeah. What is a trune? A trune. A tranny. Okay. Oh, it's a tranny. That's the new term for tranny. The safe term. You never heard that. You're too old. You're not hanging out with the kids like me and Melanie. Yeah. See, some people think like, oh, is that just the nicer one? Say, no, it actually originated because of these trannies that would use cartoon avatars and the cartoons would be really beautiful and then you'd see they actually look like a wildebeest in person. So, it's like, oh, it's a trune, a transgender cartoon. I never knew that. I heard the phrase. I didn't know where it came from. Yeah. That's where it originated. Yes. I love that. I love that. That's great. That's a good one. That's not the answer. The correct answers could be either intersectionality or online activism. So, Michael, we've got it right. I'll take it. I'll take it. But I prefer Melanie's- I mean, mine was the real correct answer, but, you know, it's fine. I learned the etymology of trune today. That's good. I've wondered that for a while. All right. In the early 2000s and 2010s, only about 20 to 30% of top-grossing films featured female protagonists. To what percentage did these increase in 2024? I don't know. At the Daily Wire, 300%. We only ever make movies with chicks. It's crazy. We contributed to it. What's that about? That's weird. I know. It occurs to me. Why are we making these movies with chicks? Okay, anyway. So, 20, 30% up to what are we at in 2024? Wait, how much increased or where it's at? What's the percent at? What's the percent point at now? I can get in and yell at Melanie for asking that question. It's a good question. Wait, what was your starting date? Because I'm not a feminist. The starting date was the 2000, 2010s, and it was at 20 to 30% of the top-grossing. Top-grossing, but, like, not much is doing well. A lot of things are flopping now. Yep. Y'all have an answer? Oh, wait. Yes. All right, Michael, what do you have? I'm going to zag here. I think it went down, I'm saying 12% since the 2010s, since 2019. The correct answer in 2024 was 42%. Let's go! Yes! Okay. But, Nils, you're partially right because in 2025 it dropped down to 29%. We were back to that. Yeah, yeah. All right, that's a nice trend. Okay, yeah. I saw, I had to go see Captain Marvel for the Daily Wire. They made me go see it. That was, maybe you made me go see it, actually, after Davies. And that was so unbearable. I've barely seen a movie since. And to me, that was the peak of Lady Boss, you know, pop movies. I think True Peak is Tomb Raider. Angelina Jolie's Tomb Raider. That was actually good. Yeah, it's a deep cut. It's like a 20-year-old, 25-year-old deep cut. All right, number 14, what percentage of U.S. women say the term feminist describes them well? What percent? Not just Gen Z, this is all women. This is all women. All right, we have 42%. The correct answer, according to Pew data, is 61%. I mean, that's horrifying. That's horrifying and I'm happy I got the point. Oh, no. That's bad. I was hoping the country girls would make a difference with that, but okay. Whoa, that's nuts. Hold on, wait a second. You said Ben. And Ben, Ben. You said that the percentage of Gen Z that identifies as feminist is 52%. And we said, oh, that's lower than we expected. You said, yeah, but it's actually the highest for any generation ever. Oh. And now you're saying that of all generations, it's 63% or whatever. How is that? Does it make sense? Well, I think as those are like the younger generation, like that, that's the first... I wonder how that would make sense. It's like the younger generation, it's the first young generation to say that, but I think the older generations, once you get older, then if you don't get married and you're more in, you know, not having success, then maybe you become a feminist out of frustration later in life and so they identify more as feminists. You're saying they become more feminist over time. That's what the research, according to Pew Research data. I want to examine these data. All right, hold on. Control room, can you clarify? I don't care. I'll take the point. I don't care. You know what? Never mind. I didn't say anything. Let's go. Number 15. Women do what percent of the world's unpaid care and domestic work? Is it A, 30%, B, over 75%, C, 50%, D, 10%? I love how it's unpaid, unpaid care. How about... And domestic work. And domestic work, unpaid. How about you have a home to live in and food to eat and clothes to wear? What is this unpaid? Andrew Wang Yang. Remember that guy was running for president? Yeah, yeah. He was always complaining about his wife didn't get a salary. I said, bro, if you want to pay your wife money, give her a bigger allowance or something. But why am I like, that's a... Not everything has to be paid out in bank notes, buddy. Good grief. That is true. It's B, right? Certainly over 75%. Correct. It is B. Okay. All right. That's also Pew Research Center in 2020. 61% of U.S. women said the term. Feminist describes them very well. No, I know. The weird thing is though, you said the most feminist generation ever is at 53%. And then when you add all the less feminist generations in, you get to 62%. I don't know how they do their data. Data's all fake. Okay, all right. That's true. All right, 16. What percentage of women said they have actively switched offers, stopped watching a film or TV show because it lacked enough female characters or felt too stereotypical? What percent of women said they've turned off because of one of those things? I think this number is even maybe too high. I said 7%. We said five. Wow. That was great. The answer is 25%. One in four women apparently were like, no, not enough ladies in here. The thing is, no, they haven't. They just say that they have. No, they just exactly. Nobody thinks that. It's just like, hey, is this story interesting or captivating or like, that's really what it is. That's one. It's like sometimes people don't think like that. One point that we've talked about at DW is there's a difference between when conservatives got to make movies, they don't make the movies people want to see. They make the movies that they want people to want to see. And that answer from those ladies, that's an answer they want to believe. That's the answer they want to give. Not one of them has turned off a movie because it didn't have enough chicks, you know, sword fighting or whatever. And this is another generational response this year. It rose to 46% among US millennials. Nonsense. I mean, millennials are, they might be the most insufferable generation. Everyone bangs up on the boomers. I don't. There are parents. We have to have filial piety. Also millennials, by basically any objective measure, millennials are worse. I like, we're part of it. I don't want to beat up on it either, but I'm not surprised they say that. They don't actually do it. That's totally made up. I think so too. I don't think there's over 40% of people like, hmm, ridiculous. I didn't see enough women. I didn't see enough black people. I certainly didn't see enough black women or in stereotypical too. So it's like a woman gets rescued and it's like, I can't even handle that. I don't want to be read. You know, that. Oh yeah. When the really hot, rich, strong guy came in and saved that damsel in distress. Oh, that just really fired me up. Exactly. I don't want to hear it with people pretending like they don't like the damsel in distress trope when it's like a lot of the stuff they're actually reading and all of that would say a different story. Yeah. That's true. All right. Last question. What percent of Democrat voters in the United States are women? Close as thou going over wins. It's not what percent of women are Democrats. It's what percent of Democrats are women. Wait, can you say the same thing? Yes. No. This is why I have to clarify. What percentage of Democratic voters in the United States are women? Okay. Not what percent of women are Democratic voters. Correct. Okay. I don't trust that this distinction is about, whatever, I'll go with it. This is also a few research. What percentage of women vote for Democrats? Yes. What percent of Democrat voters are women? Which is it? I don't know what to say to you right now. Say it. Repeat what you say. I think it's... Of the Democrats, what percent are women? Okay. All right. Yeah. Yeah. There you go. In 1896. All right. What do you have, Knowles? I don't feel that confident. I said 62 percent. Wow. Close. According to Pew Research, it's between 54 and 56 percent. So call it 55. Okay. All right. We both lose it. Okay. You're both over. Well, we don't know who lost technically because this is a gentleman's game. And Michael, you are currently in the lead, but if you want to risk it all and do a double or nothing, go for broke. One bonus question, it's here for the taking. You know what? I... What'd you do? By virtue of any part of my nature, I have reason. I have highly functioning reason, I mean relatively functioning reason, and very low emotional reasoning. I'm going to take the victory. Oh my God. You did. Okay. That's fair. I want to win. That's fair. I don't want to freebie. I don't want to freebie. No, he's trying to manipulate me into... You're such a... I don't know what the question is, but I don't want to... You want to just do it for fun? Let's see what happens. Yes. I don't want to know the question. All right. What percentage of gamers in the United States are female according to the latest 2025 data from the T-Step? I'm so glad I didn't pet my win on this. I have no idea. Oh, you're so close. It's such a lie though. It's such a lie though, but okay. Oh, is this like Gamergate stuff where they try to pretend? Well, this is why it's a lie. It's because they're counting like Candy Crush and crap. Like they're not counting actual like gamer games. It's like this is counting all the little mobile stuff and yeah. Okay. Well, all right. Now that you gave me that context, I guess I would... If you're counting Candy Crush, I would say it's like 54% over 50%. Y'all are both technically wrong though. Melanie of course is closer at 47%, which is still wild. Yeah, it must be Candy Crush. There's no way. I know. Used to it was like, I don't know. A few years ago they said it was just over because they were like, oh, more women are gamers than men. Maybe they're counting that they thems now, but you see, it was like, they said it was just over 50%. So they were trying to act like more women are gamers than men, but it's just not true. Because the modal gamer, the most represented gamer is really a 14 year old boy saying the N word on a first person shooter, right? Yeah. Okay. That represents most gamers as it should. Naturally. Of all the stats that I found, when I saw that, I was like, okay, I don't believe any stat anymore because there is no way that's accurate. Exactly. That's total BS. No, although I don't know, it does confound it when you add like the mode because the other thing is when I walk by the control room and I'll hear Mr. Davey is screaming the N word playing Candy Crush. So I don't know. Maybe it's kind of diverse, you know? All right. Well, to the Victor Go's Disploits, Melody, would you please give a 30 second pitch for why people should tune into the Michael Knowles show? Okay. Guys, if you have not been tuning into the Michael Knowles show, you should because Michael Knowles is the best pickle jar opener you will ever find. Grip strength. Should have euphemism. 85% more than women. He's brilliant. Captain Marvel who? Why was he not Captain Marvel? It's just genius knows all of the percentage of feminist facts. So he could be the best feminist in the world if he wanted to, but instead he knows that feminism is a scam. So he's using, he's being that humble, awesome person and being like, hey, you know what, even though I would be the best feminist in the world, I'm not going to for the betterment of society. So why would you not watch it? What a guy, you know? What a pitch. What an ad. Ladies, ladies, if you want the best pickle jar opener on the internet, tune in to the Michael Knowles show. I like that. That might be my new Twitter bio. I love it. Well, there you have it. If you haven't already subscribed to Melannie Matt, go boom.
