The Value of Knowledge does not depend on gender

I just wanted to say something about this issue of education specifically for women. The red pill community continuously says that men don't care if a woman has an education, if a woman has a degree, if a woman has a master's or higher education at all. Who told you? Who told you that men don't care? First of all, it's statistically inaccurate.

It's statistically wrong. Women with college educations are the most likely to get married and the least likely to get divorced. That's a fact. That's a statistical fact in the West that has the highest divorce rate in the world. The lowest divorce rate is among couples, both of whom have degrees.

So you're wrong on that just factually. But who told you that a man doesn't value intelligence, education, and knowledge, and intellectual expertise? Or that he only values that if it happens to be contained in a body that has a penis? Who told you that? Since when do Muslims not value knowledge if that knowledge is in the mind of a woman?

What are you even talking about? Obviously, it matters. Of course, it matters. If it doesn't matter to you, then I don't think that an educated person is gonna be interested in you anyway. Look, what is marriage?

Talking about it from a biological perspective. You're creating a gene pool for the next generation. Someone who has achieved an education has shown a certain quality of character in discipline, in the prioritization of knowledge, in the pursuit of knowledge, in their ability to achieve a degree, on and on and on. That's something about who they are as a person. I don't care if you only care about degrees in terms of social status or the job you can get or anything like that.

That's not the way that we in Islam think about education and knowledge. It's for the enrichment of you as a human to make you a better person that you know more, that you have more knowledge, that you have more intellectual expertise in matters of deen and outside matters of deen. All knowledge is useful. All knowledge is beneficial to yourself, to your family, to the ummah. And we value it whether you're a man or a woman.

I mean, is why in in a lot of Muslim families, the mothers and fathers who are trying to get their daughters and sons married set very high standards in terms of the education of the potential spouse. If if it's a if it's a son, they want an educated, bride for their son. Why? Maybe the son doesn't care. Maybe he's like all of these red pillars and all he wants is a nice body and pretty and all of these things.

But the parents are thinking about their grandchildren. The parents are thinking about their grandchildren, their great grandchildren, and what kind of children are gonna be produced by this union. They don't wanna shortchange their grandchildren by having their good quality, intelligent, educated, good mannered son marrying a nothing woman, a woman who is bringing nothing to the marriage except her looks. They want someone of quality because they wanna have quality grandchildren and great grandchildren and on and on. You you red pill people, you're not thinking this through.

And if, like I said, if it really doesn't matter to you at all, the knowledge that a woman has, the intellectual expertise that a woman has just because she's a woman, and you don't understand what an asset and an educated intelligent woman would be for you in as a life partner, how do you think that you're going to be a high value man if you don't even value assets, resources that you can call upon throughout your life? Now I've heard the argument that in order to be successful in higher education and then beyond that into a career, you have to have you have to be a somewhat disagreeable personality in order to get ahead. You have to be able to enforce your will, push through rejection, push through criticism, push through opposition, and get ahead. That's true. You have to have a strong will.

So the argument is that if a woman pursues that kind of a path, then she's going to develop trait disagreeableness. And then she's gonna bring that energy into a relationship, into a marriage, and then her and her husband are gonna be, clashing all the time. Who told you they're gonna be clashing? What if they agree? Then you have two people with strong wills on the same team pushing forward together.

How is that a bad thing? Why do you assume that there will be disagreement? And if a woman argues with you, if your wife or your potential wife argues with you, maybe you're wrong. Do you just need someone to agree with you whether you're right or wrong or not? You don't want someone who can maybe help you to rethink your positions?

That's the most valuable person you could have in your life. Someone that causes you to rethink your positions because if you're arguing and you can't win that argument, you might be wrong. Maybe you're not on solid ground. And if you have a wife who just agrees with you no matter what you say, how is that helpful to you? As a man, how is that helpful to you?

Don't you want to actually be right or you just wanna be told that you're right? If you're concerned about actually being right, then it's very useful to you to have an educated intelligent woman who can think for herself and can question what you're saying so that you can find out whether or not you're right. Because if she argues with you and you can prove your case, you're on solid ground. And if she is an intelligent, educated person, then she will recognize that and accept it. And then you have improved her and helped to change her mind to understand something more correctly than she understood it before.

Otherwise, she can help you understand something more correctly than you understood it before. How that's win win. On the one hand, you always say, what do you bring to the table? But apparently, you don't want them to bring anything to the table. You want them to just be docile and attractive.

They don't bring any intellect. They don't bring any intelligence. They don't bring any education. They don't bring any qualifications. They don't bring any They don't bring any expertise to the table.

They're just our body, for crying out loud. Do you wanna have a relationship with a human?
