Did you catch last night’s show? Lots of people did. Some think I’ve made myself untouchable and irrelevant now that I’ve said exactly what I think about the culture war in plain Anglo-Saxon. Some are mad that I hold women responsible for their bullshit.
The closing segment was so powerful that I had to consciously use willpower not to return to my Southern church roots and shout, "GLORY HALLELUJAH!" The knee-jerk response to criticism of "they're just jealous" is rarely factual, but in this case I think it has a lot of explanatory power. You are eloquent, courageous, and in possession of moral clarity. Many of your critics are, in fact, jealous.
I loved your closing, Josh, and I actually WAS saying "Amen" out loud. In general, I do try to be polite in political discussions, but we're not talking about tax policy or speed limits here. We're talking about the state-sanctioned mutilation of children. We're talking about demonic evil, straight from the pits of hell.
I like you for meaning what you say and saying what you mean. Plus, you are an amazing force. Thank you for being this honest. It takes bravery and resolve the vast majority of us cannot muster up.
You did good, Josh! This fight is much too important to try to be nicer. Truth tellers are always going to be hated by some. But we are necessary. Like you, I have always noticed things. Even when I was too young to really understand the implications of what I was noticing. Now I do and have for many years. I have lost lots of friends over the past nearly 10 years. Including for “not being angry enough” at Trump. No kidding. From a woman who I thought was my best friend. It’s been painful but I’ve gotten over it. Real friends don’t do this. They are the ones with a mental illness. And a soul sickness.
It was good! I've been married to a man who fiercely speaks his mind for 20+ years, and now we've managed to raise two young men who do the same. This is reality, and even if it makes my feminine nice-making nerves itch sometimes, I totally see the need for this. We need more voices in this. I, too, am working on the most constructive ways for me to be less nice.
You were sensational, Darling! Seriously, you were. Your show is one of very few things keeping me sane here in my small corner of Stepford, Connecticut. Thank you, Josh.
Perfect song for the occasion. I watched last night, and you had me vocalizing "Yes!" "That's Right!" "Tell it like it is, Josh!" Your righteous indignation was appropriate and needs to become viral. Have absolutely no regrets, Josh. I applaud your courage and moral outrage.

I watched. Bravo!
I hold women responsible for a lot of the crap that has unraveled over the years. Seriously, I'm embarrassed and horrified by my female sexed cohort on a daily basis. Women jumped the shark a long ass time ago. No woman must be made to feel bad. Ever. Well tough. There are days when I ponder the whole "woman's vote" thing. Most days it looks like that was a bad idea. And I am a biological female - a woman.
My 30+ year old daughter will tell you, "If you don't want to hear the truth, don't ask me." She pulls no punches. We need more women to be fearless - not simpering victims; women who will not only take a stand, but also stand up and support the men who are pushing back against this horrifying assault on children. Children, for God's sake! Women used to defend their children with their lives. Now they willfully toss them to the butcher.
"Medicine and law are intimately connected to one another... One discipline that connects both is moral philosophy; for both law and medicine involve reason and the will, directed toward the good of the person. Thus, the story of the Holocaust is a tragedy that unfolded because of the corruption of moral philosophy first, and medicine and law second."
"...medical culture can influence the ethics of both individuals and society at large."
And that ^^^ is why gullible, malleable, naive, self-absorbed, self-centered, ineffectual, weak women, women - and men - who are raising "everybody gets a trophy", "you aren't responsible for your actions", "no one must be made to feel bad because it will hurt their self esteem" parenting crowd must be pushed back against. Hard. They understand nothing else. And in the meantime they raise narcissistic little shits who perpetuate their insanity.
I respect the hell out of you for the stance you're taking, and I support you and your pushback method one hundred percent. Children are being abused. Mutilated. Sterilized. There are no rules in this fight.
Josh, sorry? What the hell do you have to be sorry about? That there aren’t enough of you? Well, I am sorry there are not more of you. Jesus threw the moneylenders out of the temple. He was not “nice”. He was angry! The intentional mental and physical harm to our children is much worse than that. I cannot imagine Jesus would be “nice” to such monsters. To be anything but angry would be an abomination. Do I hate to think that women, nurturing loving women, are perpetrators of so much going on right now? Absolutely. Do I see it on a daily basis? Tragically I do.

It's weird, but even when I listen to the best arguments put forward by the "You need to be nicer" crowd, I still can't help but think that they are patently and obviously wrong. I have to believe that if you plunked someone from 50 years ago down today, they would look at Dylan Mulvaney and say to themselves "That's a circus freak pretending to be a woman. Why won't anyone say it?" The uninitiated aren't looking for someone to nicely to explain why the "clothes" on the emperor shouldn't technically be considered clothes. They're looking for someone to say that the motherfucker is naked.
Thank you for being one of those voices, Josh. You've got the mind to formulate the words articulately, the will to shout it from the rooftops and never backdown, and the fortitude to endure what has been, I've no doubt, tremendous personal loss. Thank you again.
Thank you for all those thoughts. I haven't read Donovan, but this is interesting.
It's all new-ish to me. Never thought I'd think or feel this way. I was blind for a long time.
And it's certain I'm making mistakes right now that I can't see.

Jealous and so childishly defensive the truth will never sink in. And they will miss out.

Ha! I’ve found myself repeating this line from Madonna’s song quite a bit lately.
I watched. Bravo!

This is a great read.

And you're absolutely right, and thank you for being willing to put yourself out in this way.
You have hardly made yourself irrelevant. Thats what cowardly people say to those they feel threatened by.
We appreciate you, Josh!! Keep speaking the truth!
Hi Josh I loved what you said on the show today and it inspired me to join. Your doing exactly what we need and you are an inspiration to me.
Regards
