In this segment of Dennis Prager’s show, Barak Lurie reflects on a protest sign that read, “We have become the men we wanted to marry,” using it to illustrate a broader cultural shift where many women claim self‑sufficiency and reject the idea of needing a man. Prager and Lurie discuss how this erodes traditional distinctions between men and women, leading to social friction when individuals are told they might still need a partner. Lurie predicts that, as gender roles continue to blur, a large proportion of men will turn to increasingly realistic sex robots or dolls instead of real women, with only a small minority continuing to seek human relationships. The conversation frames this trend as inevitable, suggesting profound changes to future romantic and sexual dynamics.

Hi, this is Dennis Prager, and this is what you missed yesterday on the show.
During this conversation and many of your other talks, I was reminded of a protest sign that I saw just after Trump was elected. It was at a women's rally, and it simply said— I thought it was tragically profound— it said, "We have become the men we wanted to marry." Boy, is that true.
Yeah. Yeah, Timmer, this is a really interesting point that you raise. It's a chapter in my book as well, that women and men no longer feel like that they should pursue a relationship with the opposite sex for purposes of completing themselves, right? My dad used to—
Oh, that's great. That's great. That's right. That's what the sign says. Right. I am complete without a man. Right. That's what the sign means. Right. But ironically, they have not become the men they want to marry. That's delusion. Right.
They can't be. They think they're self-sustaining.
And they get insulted. They think if they've defeminized, then they're a man.
Bingo. Bingo. And they get insulted if you tell them that you might need somebody else. How dare you say that? Right.
Let alone a man. Yeah. No, if you said you need a woman, they would say that's true. Yeah, very, very good. I don't mean— and not even necessarily sexually. I definitely need a woman in my life. A man?
Yeah. It's this erasing of the distinctions between men and women that Dennis Prager— So what's gonna happen if—
see, what— tell me if this is a correct read of what you're predicting. So a great number of men will go to robots and dolls instead of real women, 'cause they'll become more and more realistic. I assume they are. I've seen videos in Japan. They're a lot of money, but they're also getting more and more realistic. Yes. If that happens, the winner men will still seek women. So there will be a handful, relative handful of men having women and a large number of men having robots.
Yes, that is a very good prediction and that is inevitable under my theory. And it's just so inevitable and I think both of us see it coming down that the train, as it were.
