What Is a Mother? | Man on the Street

what's up guys Alo here with prageru like many things in society today there are a lot of efforts to redefine motherhood so today I'm in Brentwood California to talk to mothers and ask them what being a mother means to them and ask them what they think about all these efforts to redefine the term let's go see what they say we got a mother daughter combo right here in front of us you guys isn't that right absolutely right this is my eldest daughter who I'm extremely proud of and what is a mother to you I would say support and love well it's a nurturer the hardest working person there is uh her someone who births you who brings you into this world who looks after you what makes a good mother just like unconditional love but also have those beautiful firm boundaries do you think children need a mother oh God yeah absolutely absolutely I mean there's no other way to enter the universe without one do you think that there's today any sort of effort to redefine motherhood there are efforts in today's world to redefine everything okay can a man be a mother yes why because I think a lot of men especially in the newer generation are more in touch with their feminine side absolutely yes yeah why they have the same attributes they have the same um love and character and Gifts to Give I think some people might say that that implies that women do not have uh unique characteristics that they can bestow upon children what would you say to that now you're getting into the into the weeds I I think that there is a biological connection that occurs between an infant and and a mother I think men can certainly have nurturing qualities to them but I think there's definitely an inherent quality that women have to be the traditional more nurturing supportive mother what do you think can a man be a mother oh no there's absolutely no way there's something about the bond with the children that the mother has and something about the bond with the children that the father has that is actually very different but I don't think a man can be a mother because we're built differently we bring a different perspective to bringing up children than a mother does this comes from the CDC and the NIH these are governmental health organizations and they have given different terms that we should use when referring to mothers an individual does not need to have given birth to breastfeed or chest feed they're also trying to call mothers uh birthing people or chess feeders um do you see these different kind of terms as diminishing true motherhood no not at all I think it's really getting clear on just like where motherhood is and like how we can see it in like a lot of different aspects what do you think about when you hear these terms of what what's your reaction to that that it all has to do with being politically correct but it doesn't actually mean it's correct what's your reaction you look shocked I think they're nuts I mean it's just blurs it's words it's just making things more complex than they are I think that we learned during Co that the CDC isn't to be trusted at all times this was from the telegraph saying trans women milk as good as breast milk drug induced chestfeeding liquid comparable to that from mothers when it comes to Baby nourishment what goes through your head when you see that stuff it's interesting this is my first time seeing it I actually have a friend who's Trans American who they have just given birth to their daughter so I want to give them a call now and kind of get their take on this I don't know about that I just don't know what's in what are they receiving to induce it and is that going to be harmful to the baby I don't know I would want to know more research I would love to see this interview be done 10 to 15 years from now when the children are like older and can speak on their experiences right after being fed male-induced chest liquid you know who knows I mean they might love it what can kids do for their mothers on Mother's Day this year spend time with them call her and send her gifts make breakfast buy flowers just love them just that mothers don't need present and they don't need agulation they just need to know that they're loved what do you think I agree and just be with them that's all yes well you guys that's a wrap for this episode I want to say a very special happy Mother's Day to all of our great moms out there we love you everybody at prageru wants to wish you guys a Happy Mother's Day and a very special one from me to my mom watching at home mom I love you happy Mother's day and I'll see you soon if you guys enjoyed this video make sure to give it a thumbs up comment down below and let us know what you guys think subscribe to prageru for more videos like this and I'll see you guys in the next episode hey guys thanks for watching this video prageru is a 501c3 organization help us keep our videos free by making a tax deductible donation today I appreciate your support
