This and the way he treated Dave Landau has soured me to Crowder. I don’t watch or listen to him anymore. It’s a shame, as I agreed with most of what he says.
I did catch glimpses from time to time of a very controlling personality. It’s a reflection of who he is and not conservatives though.
That being said, I doubt he meant that fathers were useless. I’ve rarely seen anyone more outspoken about the consequences of not having a father present in the home. Indeed his father is a frequent guest on the show (nepotism maybe? Who knows but his Dad is funny in his own right).
I'm not so sure I agree. I think any man who is a tradcon is going to set order and boundaries to what the women in their life can do. That's actually the point: to ground women to the material world, away from the metaphysical one; and to give them a safe space to build a family and community in.
Imbued in that is giving commands that she doesn't like. It's not an attitude that is very commonly seen in the west anymore, and it's certainly unheard of in public. "You will not take the car" is something that I don't think most men are used to even thinking about saying, and absolutely don't say it publicly when they do.
"You will not take the car" is a completely reasonable statement even for a woman to say to a man when the one trying to take the car has a medical condition that can cause paralysis.

Edit: it's why despite their considerable wealth they only had one car. Because one driver.
My original intent was to point out that "You will not take the car" is something a western man is typically not prepared to say to a woman. Literally, not the other way around. "Fuck you, I'm taking the car." is much more palatable from a woman to a man; than "You will not take the car" is from a man to a woman.
A TradCon is pre-disposed to allowing a man to say this to a woman, because a man is setting boundaries. Most western societies don't want men to do this, and instead want men to treat women the way Steve Harvey treats his daughters: give them whatever they want, whenever they want, and never ever say no.
All the defenses of Crowder are explanations of trad theory. The problem isn't the theory, it's the specifics of what he said in the video that make him a selfish dick. If you're familiar with Crowder's internet history, which most people here aren't, this also tracks with a lot of other stuff he's done.
I wouldn't want a dude like him marrying my sister or daughter.
I've seen him for years, and I'd say that his biggest problem is actually being a sniping asshole, and it a bit sensitive on the wrong subject, that can send him off the rails. Or simply: he's a prick.
I wouldn't want him marrying my sister or daughter because I know there's some subject he'll be an asshole about, but not because he's an abusive control freak.
Yeah idk if we disagree that much. The control freak criticism is mostly speculation that he purposely had only one car, but that's just a side issue. The problem the video presents, along with many incidents and employee departures over the years, is that Crowder is, as you put it, a fragile prick.
I do see a need to dominate and bully other people though. Which, again, prick.
