Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Sheep Get Sheared Podcast I'm your host, Austin Creed. I want to welcome you into the show. My friends, you know. As much as I would love to come out here and tell you that the state of relationships is good, that everything you've been told is true and accurate, and there's there's no reason. To question the people in power, the people who wear the cross, the people who wear the David Starr, the people who wear any kind of religious God. There's no reason to question people because everyone has your best interest. Everyone wants what's best for you. I I can't say that. I'm sorry. I can't say it. And as much as I would love to do so, I cannot in good conscience tell. You to do that. And you know, this show is promulgated on pushing. But then you can then answer it in your own life. I'm a firm believer in building your own personal philosophy, and so when I say that marriage is a scam, when I say these things, it's not necessarily. It's not supposed to just be a one and done statement. It's supposed to be. Ohh OK, why would he say that? What does he mean by that? Is there something I'm missing here? Those are the questions that you should be asking you for your own benefit so that you can have the best life possible. So I understand you're probably already triggered out the outset, whether you're married right now and you think your marriage is great, or whether it's you're thinking about marriage and you've taken the hook and you think that it's all going to be great because this Love Is All you need The Beatles song and all this stuff. You think that it's all going to be good and dandy and never. Divers across your mind that. You know. Oh, that could be them. But it's not going to be me. And in your mind, you're thinking to yourself. 

You're despicable. 

That's OK, because guess what? We're gonna really go in depth and maybe by the end of the show you might still be saying that and that's totally. Fine. That is your choice. But we're going to look at this. Is marriage scam? How is it a scam? Why is it a scam? Why would I call it a scam? We're going to break all that down. And I would like to show you my first piece of evidence as to why I would say that. So without further ado, I'm going to fair use this video on TikTok. From this gentleman. The title was interesting to me. I said married men here are four ways to be a better husband. So for those of you who maybe you're married and. You listen to the show. I want you to say in the comments section or you can hit up my Twitter page at sheep get sheared and say you know what this is right or this is wrong. This is fair. This is foul. And gentlemen who want to be married. You got to leave you. I'll leave you thinking. What about this? Do you think is true? I haven't seen this whole thing yet. I pull up the clips because I want to have a raw reaction to them. It's gonna be good. I I guarantee. You you want to predict? I'm going to predict for you, right? Now what? He's probably going to say. Four ways to be a better husband. Number one, do whatever your wife tells you to do. #2 put everybody else first before yourself. #3 did I mention put myself last on the list and #4 do more chores because it will get you more sex with. It's false. OK, let's see. Let's see how mine predictions hold up. Very used this video. Let's get it. 

Married men. I've got 4 tips for you to be a better husband and me too. Own up. Show up, build up and never give up. #1 own up to your mistakes. Look at the reality is is we're not perfect. Sometimes we think we are, but we're not so own up to the things that you come up short. And when you make mistakes. And you say the wrong thing when you do the wrong thing or when you don't do the thing that your wife wants you to do own up to your number takes #2 show up for your wife. 

What? What? 

Life, be there, be present. It is amazing for you to work hard, to go to work every single day to come home and to be there to support your wife. But make sure that when you get home you are showing up for your wife. You're there to care for her. You're there to listen to her. You are there to be invested into her in the best way you possibly can while you try and settle down. 

Oh, feel not. 

End up getting to sleep, wake up and do it all over again the next day. #3 build up your wife regularly invest into build. Building her up compliment her support her, encourage her share with her ways in which she is doing good things that you appreciate. The more you build her up, the better off you are going to be in your marriage. And finally, never give up too often when we get frustrated, we check out, maybe we get frustrated over single issue or. 

You lie to me. 

Completely. We get completely frustrated with the person that we're married to. Regardless of what that is, never give up. We fight for things that we want, that we desire, that we love, that we're passionate about. That means that we should be fighting hard for our marriage. You want to be your a better husband. Those four things are going to help you to get there. I know they work for me. I'm sure they will for you too. 

Turn this bum off. This is ohh. Ohh my. 

I'll do it myself. 

I guess I have to be the one to teach men how to be men instead of being an absolute Gump like this man. This is terrible. This is terrible. Gentleman, let me tell you something. It is not a man's job to verify and validate and whatnot for a woman that is not your job. That is not defining you as a man, you know. There was a book that I've. Referenced on this show multiple times by now, called the Manipulated Man by Esther Vilar, and she pushes forward this notion, not me, but this woman says that the man is a slave to his wife. He goes out and works hard for her so she can sit back and basically do nothing because she's lazy and her words not mine. These are her words. And so when I see guys like this. I'm very inclined to believe her when I say this, cause let me ask you something. Let's say you do all these things. Let's say that you put her first. You take, take care of her. You pump up her self esteem every day like you pump up a flat tire with a hole in it. Let's say you do all those things you admit when you're wrong, even though you're not wrong. It's just she feels bad and you want to get some leg from her, so you apologize. All that good stuff. What are you getting in return for that? I'll wait. What are you getting in return from that? 

This is getting weird. 

What are you getting in return from doing all those things to your wife? You're driving yourself insane. This is why men go bald. This is why men are their testosterone levels are in the toilet. It's because you're doing crap like this. You're basically a dancing monkey. You know, with that monkey from the the dot. That monkey from Toy Story 3, where he's like. And and and like that all the time. That is you. If you're a man, that's you. And my response to that is this. 

Silly rabbit tricks are for kids. 

I mean, for God's sakes, look. Hey, if you wanna go out there and you wanna be this guy, this guy right here, go ahead, make my day. I don't know him personally. He could be a nice person. He probably is. But Oh my God, I mean, look, you can be married and not be like a complete Gump and and like this, but this is this is not masculinity. No, no, no. This is not masculinity. This is conditioned broken man. And oh, and don't worry, I got more for you. But this is another reason why I think marriage is a scam. What do you, as a man actually benefit from in marriage? Ohh wait, you might say Austin. She gives me kids Austin. She gives me commitment. Austin, she gives me love. She gives this and she she decorates the house. She takes care of the house. He does all those things. OK. Hey, I hear you. Right. Those are all things that I guess you could classify as valuable, even if they're fraudulent to an extent. Let me ask you a count your question. How many of those things can you get without a wife? How many of those things can you get by hiring other people to do them? Dishes, food, cleaning your house? Thing. Hear your kids. How many things that I just mentioned? Can you hire someone else to do who's not gonna give you attitude? Who's not gonna be huffing and puffing about doing the most basic standard crap? How many of those? Things can you outsource? A lot. All of them, actually. In fact, we want to be specific. I understand you're going to say that's. That's disgusting. I shouldn't do that. That's messed up. And here's my response. 

I love the poorly educated. 

Look, I understand. Look, I don't say this to degrade anybody. I could degrade you all day if I wanted to do so. That's not my goal. My goal is not to degrade people. It is to. Get cue to understand that a lot of what I've come to understand is that we've been. To act a certain way to prioritize certain behaviors, to say certain things are inherently good and desirable, when in fact the only person who benefits is not you. Who does these things. We have been told as a man. All good men should put everybody before themselves. We even have the our religious texts. Push this forward too. You know, it was interesting going back to Esther Villard's book, the reason I like to quote her is because she says things that most men would not have the guts to say because women would attack them. Other men would attack them. You know what's funny is the last two videos I've done on this topic, the last two podcasts we've done on this show have been around questioning traditional relationships. I've been asking very provocative questions and you know what's been interesting is. The people who have. Insulted Gaslit and been really **** hurt about them. Have not been the women it's been men who have come at me and called me names, been upset and all that kind of stuff which I've come to expect. Because most men, they don't want to actually improve this situation. They just want to cry. They want to be weak, they want me to justify their weakness. They want me to come on the show and say, gentlemen, we're all victims. We're all oppressed by the gynocentric society and all of us are. We need to be. We need to be downtrodden and sad and we need. To fight back. We need to ohh unified our weakness. I'm not gonna do that crap. 

Ohh hell no. 

I'm not going to do that, no. Because a lot of you have chosen in your lives to be in a place of weakness, you have chosen to take the path that gives you the least amount of leverage, the fewest amount of options, and you want me to come by until sorry for you when you signed up for what you're in, you signed the dotted line you signed up to be a servant in a woman's life. You signed up for that? So guess what? I don't feel bad for you. Can your marriage work out? Sure. Well, with a minute you sign that dotted line and you sign an agreement with the state and take an oath before God. You give up all leverage. And that's why when women say they have nothing to gain in a relationship, you are lying to men. You're lying. Oh, and by the way, gentlemen, when women say things, they'll they. There's always a hidden like secret meaning in there. And I'm not the one who discovered this again. It was a woman. Who? Told me this. But they had their own, like, secret language that is invisible to men because of men, actually, because as men, we see things from our perspective, we interpret what women say, as if a man says it. When in fact no. No, no, no. They see things differently and they come from a totally different angle. Knowing that we're gonna interpret it as certain way and that's part of the reason why marriage is a scam is because you believe it to be one way. When in fact it is something entirely different, and to prove my point, we're going to get into this video, at least, I hope it proves my point. I haven't seen it all the way through. Well, it's all about this woman saying that marriage isn't benefit. Women, which is ridiculous considering that women, as soon as they get married, they own the man's. They own the man's Johnson and he can't do anything about it. She automatically monopolizes upon his his intimacy drive. So right out of the gate, you have a huge supply and demand issue and if he cheats, she gets half the stuff because she can leave at any point or she can leave and take half his stuff. But when she's in the marriage, she gets. All of his stuff. I'll, I'll. I'll I'll repeat that in case you missed it and all in the marriage. Who's the one who spends most the money? Not the man. He ain't got time. He's working too much. He ain't got time to spend all his money. The woman's the one who gets the house. The woman's the one who has the kids. In the. Eyes of the law. Yeah. Why is it the woman gets the kids most of the time? Answer. Because the society allows it. Let's get into this. 

I made a post about how women don't benefit from marriage, and the Incels went crazy. 

Immediately the insults man by calling us names. Name calling is a very feminine thing thing to do, by the way, and immediately says I'm not gonna actually talk about what you said. I'm just gonna label you and humiliate you immediately. You out. The gate. Out of the gate, we're dealing with this garbage. 

In this video, we're going to go through all the reasons, but let's start here. The consensus for most men in the comments were that women do benefit from marriage through divorce, so they seem to be in agreement that the best part of marriage for women is leaving. 

This is true. 

No, no, no, that's false. That is all. That's totally false. That is a lie. In fact, women get all the stuff in the marriage, all of it. Who's the one who has the ability to sit back if the man does well enough, who sits back at home and basically does Jack the whole day? The woman does. Not the man. Man tries that he's getting divorced, so we go back to your original point and the marriage. The woman gets pretty much all this stuff. So no. In fact, that's that's false. And you know you're lying. 

You lied to me. 

You know you're lying, but that's OK. We'll keep going. We'll entertain this. This completely fraudulent notion. 

If that were true, which it's not, I think that would make my point. Let's go through finances, child custody and health. This marriage worth it for women. The benefits mostly go to men. 

Should be interesting. In one world is that possibly true? Ohh, I apparently I benefit. I benefit by going to work all day to support you. I benefit all day by you holding your vagina as leverage against me and rewarding me like a like a like a owner rewards his dog for good behavior. Where do I benefit? Where is it I benefit? I benefit by having an overpaid house guest. What is this? What benefits? Please eliminate me to the benefits, please. 

Currently, over 50% of households have a dual income. I read this. 

That is a total all my. I cannot believe I have to actually illuminate this. I cannot believe we're still making this argument. Gentlemen, when your wife makes money, she usually socks it away as her money, or at least a portion of it. Your money is her money and her money is her money. Any married man? Knows what I'm talking about, and anybody who doesn't know what I'm talking about. Ohh, don't worry. You just ain't found the account yet. That's OK. 

Says women are taking half of their own stuff. 

Lies, lies. Statistically, the man makes a lot more, which means you're taking more than half of his stuff. Your half is not half of the total net worth of the household. So you're lying again. Why are we? Why do people get away with just straight lying like this? It's disgusting. 

In those households, despite a dual income, women are still doing the lion's share of domestic labor and emotional. 

Emotional labor is not a real thing, and domestic labor is easy. There's machines for literally all of it, so stop with the bull crap. Stop the ********. Stop with this ********. We're oh, my God. Stop with this ********. What is going on? How does this pass as an actual intellectual conversation? This is total rubbish. 

In a divorce, women's income drops on average by 20%. 

That's another lie. In fact, they get the money from the husband and they get half of the stuff and the kids and get government support. 

Divorced men see an average of 30% increase in their income. 

What are you talk? Thinking about oh, you mean the guys who live in their RV, the guys who live in their car? What are you talking about? No man who gets divorced is making more money than before. It takes him years to get to that point. You are a liar. 

Post divorce, 20% of women find themselves in poverty, compared to 11% this. 

Because they chose that. 

Season let's talk alimony. Alimony has been gender neutral since 1979. It's the breadwinner who pays in the. 

Which is always a man like 90% of the times a man. Women are not breadwinners. With very rare exception you just pulled on yourself again. Now what do you get away with this dude? See, this is a scam. I'm talking about this entire video is a scam. This whole thing is a complete and utter fabrication and selective facts at best total wise. 

1960s twenty 5% of men were paying alimony post divorce. Today that number is 10%. And I know the math is right here, but I'm going to say it anyway. 90% of marriages end with no alimony whatsoever. 

Because the woman can't stand long enough to take that check. And oh, you haven't noticed. I I I can't help but notice that you haven't said that 80% of the marriages, that 80% of the marriages that end are filed by women. Where's that evidence at? Ohh I ain't heard that yet. 

90 to 95% of the time that alimony is paid, it was settled out of court, meaning a judge didn't weigh. 

Ohh, another word. She basically was like just give me the money and the man was happy to do it cause he loves his kids and isn't over his wife. 

And and didn't order it in the cases where a judge orders it, there's a large discrepancy between the spouses income and assets. Short marriages are less likely to get any alimony. Judges are looking. 

Law, it's called state law. 

At if one spouse sacrifice their career or potential earnings, and so if they didn't, alimony wouldn't be awarded. Now let's talk child custody. Studies show that when fathers ask for custody, they get it. 

Ohh my that is so fast. Where? Where? Where do you? That is so false. That is so false. Where? No, that is so false. Men have to fight for 5050 custody. That is so false. Show me the data. That is total false. That is such a lie. 

Conversely, as fathers tend not to ask for custody, they don't get it. 

Fathers don't ask for custody. Really. We're going to make this argument too. I'm not even half. I'm barely halfway through this video. You see what I'm talking about? Nothing but straight lies and manipulation of the truth through this entire video. I cannot believe this and look at this crap. You have women in the comment section saying facts. How many women give up jobs and support a family only to be financially abused by their spouse? In other words, he's not letting me spend all the money. How dare him? My brother complaints that his kids got picking but thought we just said that men don't care about their kids. And your mother, short for to sell custody? Of course he didn't because he knew he wouldn't get any because he probably filed a temporary restraining order. Statistically speaking, numbers are rising for that. Men realize that they're just being destroyed financially by the lawyers, by the system, and they realize that they're paying through the nose to even see their kids. The woman is holding them and exploiting them every which way to Sunday. And so they say I'm gonna wash my hands and I'm gonna walk away. You can't win. As a man. That's the bottom line. You can't win. My ex says I took the kids but we went to court. Look at this. Look at this garbage bro. This is so false. These women are all liars. They're all lying. Women getting half of them divorced doesn't even begin to make up the free labor. Ohh, you mean the stuff like putting in clothes and pushing a button. That's cool. That's a free labor you're talking about pushing a button and burn things on his washer laundry machine. What are we talking about? This stuff can be done by a robot, and yet these women are complaining about this. I can't believe this. Oh, my land brother, this is disgusting. Men boycott marriage now. This is disgusting. I can't believe this. I can't believe I'm watching this. I can't believe that I'm living in this world. I cannot believe we've gotten to this point. I cannot believe this. All right. How much more of this can I? How much can I handle from this complete fraudulent garbage? 

Most custody cases are settled out of court for absolute clarity. Most fathers are giving custody to the mothers not. 

No. In other words, they know they're gonna get ramrodded, so they're just like, dare just take it and get away from me, you toxic woman. 

Losing custody. Do you see the difference? Now we're going to talk about health and that will lead me into my last point. Why do women even want to get married if it doesn't benefit them? You know, when married women nag their partners, you're really going to have that third beer. Babe, I think you need to go get that mole looked at with the doctor. 

Ohh boy. 

Men seem to hate that and. 

Yes, because you're slowly destroying me. I didn't ask you to be my mother. I didn't ask you to be this crap and yet ohh my. 

Oh, hell no. Well, this can weird. 

Oh, I trust me. I know by this point, this is what most women are going to be saying if they've made it this far. 

This is the worst kind of discrimination. The kind against me. 

Ohh I can't, I I'm done with this. I can't even. I can't listen to this woman another second. Get off my screen. I can't listen to this anymore. This is. Terrible. This is why men are leaving marriages in droves. This is why men are are not marrying women anymore. This is why because they don't benefit from Jack. And then the women who want to get married have the attitude like that. Of I'm doing you the favor for you to work for me. It's like Jack Sparrow and the and the Pirates of the Caribbean movie where he tells Gibbs, hey, you have to pay me to save me. That's what women do. You have to pay me for you to save me. World I'm living and I can't believe this. How how do we allow absolute propaganda and lies? So easily refuted. But yet. There are just a hive mind of women who have the largest voting bloc in the Western world. Thanks to all the wars we've gone through in the last 100 years. It's no wonder the marriage laws ain't changing because the politicians wouldn't dare offend their largest voting base, which is women, by the way. And you might say, well, Austin, if marriage is so bad, why does so many men stay? Well, besides the financial, let's go here. Research suggests that men can committed relationships have lower testosterone levels than men who are not in relationships. One study found that men. In marriages, they experienced a decrease in testosterone by 16.4 nanograms per deciliter, which is more than the 9.8 decrease that was found in former smokers. In other words, you're losing. More than what? A a chronic smoker would get a lot more actually, as it turns out. So you wonder why men like in the first video we watched are completely dumping out? It's because they realize they're screwed. They're caught in a catch 22, and because they don't have the their their their balls are kind of shriveling up and they can't. They they don't have the guts to walk away. Other studies have found that the starstone levels begin to decline shortly after marriage and then subsequently increase when their union ends in a divorce. So in other words, the minute you get married, your testosterone levels go down and the minute you divorces you, your testosterone rebounds. Well, that's interesting, isn't it? The studies have also found that fathers have lower testosterone levels in unmarried men. Men whose wives give birth within the previous three weeks of have lower testosterone levels. They say 33 per cent than men whose wives are due to give birth. And then they say, parenting stimuli, such as holding a baby doll. Even decreases of testosterone in men whose wives have given birth within the last three weeks. No, I'm not saying you shouldn't have children. That's not the point. My point is there is always a reason for why we see these things. Nature understands that most men are going to probably leave unless their biochemistry changes, so their biochemistry has gone to the point where they stay with the woman. Most likely, even if they otherwise wouldn't. Oh, and for those of you who say that, oh, I'm in a great marriage, Austin. Don't worry about it. Ohh. I would like to show you this. This says, according to a 2018 study published by the Archives of Sexual Behavior, 15% of married people in the United States have not had sex in the last year. 15%, which you might say is low. Until you realize it's not that shy of about one in four. In fact, in a 20 in a 2022 study, 33.1% of married baby boomers lived in a sexless marriage. That's one in three baby boomer men. Get 0 intimacy in their marriage 0. Oh, but marriage is totally beneficial only to men, right? I mean, how much? How much more do you? How much more do you want? There's this whole thing now of love without sex. Apparently people are trying to say that, oh, relationships can have could still exist without the intimacy. 

You lied to me. 

I've I I can't take this dude. Again, I'm not trying to tell you what to do. OK, I am simply telling you what you are dealing with. If you choose to go down this road, you are engaging in an entire idea. Love that is based on a fraud. Love is a choice. That you must make every day. And the problem is most people can't do that. They're not willing to do it. They are incapable of doing it. But yet we still try to make it work for some reason. You might say, well, divorce, that's not going to happen to me if you're married or if you want to get married. Well, let's look at the reasons, shall we? For why people get divorced. According to the United States National Library of Medicine. They say infidelity, substance abuse. Other kinds of domestic violation, inadequate preparation and marrying too young, in other words. It all comes down to money. You know, it's funny. It's funny because it was Esther Vilar again, a reference. Her again. She has the following quote and her quote was for what? But money can bind a woman to a man. Let me ask you something. Let's pretend like money was not an issue and your wife could be totally fine without you financially. Do you think she'd stay with you? Just a question. Not saying that she would or wouldn't, I just want you. To think about it. Because then it gets a little interesting, doesn't it? Gentlemen, I want you to develop your own personal philosophies so that you avoid these traditional pitfalls. These ideas don't work anymore. Society isn't the way you think it works. A lot of the things you believe are real are not real. Well, yet we try to make them. We try to turn fantasy into reality all the same. So what are you gonna choose to do? That is your choice. While you're trying to make your choice, I would encourage you to keep asking questions. Stay vigilant and to stay informed. Life is many things. Simple is rarely one of them. I look forward to hearing, I guarantee you going to get a lot of Flack for this guarantee you a lot of people are gonna ruffled a lot of people's feathers. A lot of people are going to be upset that my cup of passion doth overflowed. I understand. People are going to get mad. People are going to feel angry. They're gonna feel, oh, he's so intimidating. Ohh my goodness. I understand. But as I've said before, if I had to be the only person talking out against the fraud about the deception, then I'll do it. 

Fun I'll do it myself. 

That I'll do it. My friends take care of yourselves. And I hope that you can now say this on your way out. 

But now I'm free. 

Peace. I'm out.
