The Battle Men and Women Must Fight | Male/Female Hour
In this episode of the Timeless Wisdom podcast’s Male/Female Hour, Dennis Prager returns after a 2024 injury and opens the floor to listener calls about gender‑specific challenges. Prager argues that men and women face distinct ‘battles’ rooted in nature: boys must be taught to curb aggression and sexual predation, while girls must be taught to control overwhelming emotions. He repeatedly stresses that these battles are under‑addressed in modern culture and that honest, non‑politically‑correct discussion is essential. Throughout the hour, callers share personal stories and seek advice on how to teach emotional regulation to teenage daughters, manage hormonal swings, and improve marital communication. Prager’s parenting prescription is to raise girls with the same expectations of rational behavior he applies to boys, using logic, consequences, and early habit formation. The show intersperses these discussions with sponsor reads for Amped Coin & Bullion and a plug for Grace Graber’s mental‑health podcast. Prager also reflects on the backlash he receives for his views, framing political correctness as a barrier to truth. The episode ends with more calls, a brief promotion of his upcoming book on homework, and a final reminder to consider precious‑metal IRAs.

On today's episode of Timeless Wisdom.
It's a tough subject for especially a lot of women to hear, and I understand that, but I'm tough on men too. I'm tough on both sexes because life is tough and we have to be honest. And, and you have heard me say this, but I don't think we've devoted an hour on the male-female hour to this issue. The battle that women have versus the battles that men have with their nature.
I think a lot of times women start having, um, I, I say problem in a liberal way, a problem with their emotions because they start to learn that nobody acknowledges The feelings that those emotions are creating. You know, if a woman feels angry and is never acknowledged, she becomes to show anger in an inappropriate way.
So therefore, the, the way to help a woman control her emotions is by acknowledging them?
I think to acknowledge the initial feeling, not necessarily her behavior, especially if she's, uh, you know, erupting and, and throwing things and yelling. I don't think that's—
Oh, all right, fine. But, but she should be—
she should feel And I agree with that. I know, for instance, in my life, I was worse as a child because I grew up with a very emotionally charged father. And as I grew up and got older and more mature and married a man who is a lot more sensitive to my emotions, that changed.
That's coming up on Timeless Wisdom with Dennis Prager.

I am old-fashioned. I like two sexes. Yeah, and another thing: all of a sudden, I don't like being married to what is known as a new woman. I want a wife, not a competitor.
Competitor.
Competitor.
Talk about it a bit, this crying in the morning thing, this depression, you know, let's get that fixed.
That's what men think, isn't it?
What?
Unless you've got the answer, unless you can say, oh, I know this bloke in the Essex Road who could fix that, then there's no point bothering. How do you write women so well?
I think of a man and I take away reason and accountability.
I love him, I love him, and I don't care what you think. I love him for the, for the Man he wants to be, and I love him for the man that he almost is.
What do people have rows about here? Uh, money, sex, sex, money. He wants, she doesn't want.
She wants, he doesn't want?
Women have always been a big problem to me, Dr. Fussbend. Are you listening, Doctor?
Yes, yes, yes, go on, go on.
Go on, go on, go on, go on.
I love that.
I love that. Hi, everybody. This is the male female hour on the Dennis Prager Show. This is the hour of the week where I am guaranteed to annoy a certain percent of my audience. That's, that's a given. There is no way to touch male female matters unless you just offer pablum. You know what pablum is? Pablum is Uh, is like air. It's like chewing on air. And you just offer platitudes of, well, we just have to reach out to each other and love one another. And, and then the, uh, the transcendent nature of love will overpower us and take us over and move us onto a loving plane where in the loving plane will have so much love in it that we will bask in the love of our mutual love.
And then we will really love each other. And through that love, We will encompass each other's love.
Now, if you say that, that actually has less pablum. That's a genuine emotion in her singing.
All right, let her go.
Dennis Prager here. That's the sort of stuff that drives me out of my mind. I had actually someone in mind when I did that imitation, but I won't say whom. All right, uh, that's not what the Male-Female Hour is about. It is about real life, real men and real women, and real issues. And if I'm wrong, you just tell me. But I know this, my heart's in the right spot.
Meaning what?
Which doesn't guarantee anything, but at least you should know that, that I have one axe to grind, and that is that you get along better With the, the man in your life, or you get along better with the woman in your life. That is the agenda. And I believe that only clarity enables people to do that. You can live only so long on, on rose-colored glasses, on a, on an imaginary life trip, but life intrudes with reality at some point in your existence. So it's better to know in advance why they have premarital counseling. That's why I so advocate that people read my 2 columns from a couple of years ago. If you're planning to get married, answer these questions. And how many emails I got of people who were planning to get married who broke up after, after confronting those questions because they denied reality because of all the love that they felt. And the power of the courting, the time when they were courting one another. This topic today is bound to annoy, not meant to annoy. I will try to do it in a way that is as little in the realm of offensive as possible, but it's a tough subject for especially a lot of women to hear, and I understand that, but I'm tough on men too. I'm tough on both sexes because life is tough and we have to be honest. And you have heard me say this, but I don't think we've devoted an hour on the male-female hour to this issue. The battle that women have versus the battles that men have with their nature. I need to tell you that we have done a terrible disservice to women's chances for happiness. By not raising girls to battle their nature the way we raise boys to battle their nature. In any given— let's take typical middle-class home in America. In a decent home, a boy is raised to know that he has to fight his nature every day to be a good man. Specifically, his aggressiveness, his physical aggressiveness, and his sexual predatory nature. They come built into virtually every boy. Boys want to fight. Boys want to beat up, maybe even play beating up, but beat up kids, usually boys. And they want to sleep with, or at least do something sexual with, Girls than later women. And they have to be taught to control both aspects of their nature. Girls do not have to be taught about physical aggression. That is not their nature. Sexually, we have something new. We have a sexually predatory girl that has been invented. This is not, however, a part of female nature. It's been invented. Uh, in order for girls to think that they are no different from boys or to hide from themselves the pain that they really experience when boys go from girl to girl to girl. Uh, I, I've, uh, I've seen cases, for example, with high school girls where a girl will be in love with a guy and, uh, unfortunately already in high school have sex with him, and, uh, then, uh, he will, uh, He will just have another girl immediately and she'll say, oh, that's great, that's great, as if there's no hurt. Of course there's hurt. So a girl doesn't have to battle what a boy has to battle. She has to battle something else, but we haven't taught girls to do— make this battle, and it has hurt a lot of women's chances for happiness, not battling their nature, and it's hurt a lot of marriages. And that is women and their emotions. This is not true for every woman.
Okay?
Nothing is true for everybody. Okay? It's true for the great majority. It's true for women in general. The battle against emotions ruling their lives is a very tough battle. And the later in life the woman engages in it, The tougher it is for her to conquer it. That's, by the way, that's true for everything. That's why the early years, if you are taught a tremendous amount of self-control, uh, it is the easiest time. Just like it's easiest to learn a foreign language when you are a child, it's virtually effortless. It's almost effortless to learn self-control as a child. It gets much harder every single year as you get older. The more you can instill in character traits, linguistic ability, etc., at a young age, the better it is for you, the better it is for the parent, and so on. The controlling of the woman's emotions. It's very, very hard for women to do this. Most women, they rage. They're hormonally driven. They are psychologically driven. The amount that is going on in a woman's mind at any given time is absolutely intense, and they let the emotion overcome very often their sense of reason and think that men's reasoning process is cold, whereas their emotion-based process is warm. If this resonates with you, whether you are a man or a woman, give me a call. And if you want to know what to do about it, if it does resonate, then we'll have some thoughts on that. 1-800-PRAGER-776. 1-800-PRAGER-776. This is a, a big part of, of marriage where what happens is if the woman gets emotional enough or angry enough, then the man starts to shut down. And then the woman wonders, why is he not communicating? And part of the answer, not all of the answer by any means, there are different answers for different marriages, but one of the answers becomes, or is, because he's afraid to be honest. He doesn't know how you will react. How many men listening have been berated seemingly to them out of nowhere? Just thinking, my God, where did that come from? Why am I being yelled at out of nowhere? You know, just stunned. And then of course there's the premenstrual syndrome or PMS. And that adds, I mean, that's already part of the month. And that's a direct Hormonally based, directly hormonally based emotional time of the month. It's a very real problem. My sympathy goes to women, and, uh, but only to women who control it. And my sympathy goes to men who, uh, have to, uh, have to endure it. Do you accept this premise that we don't teach girls how to, to control this part of themselves like we teach boys to control their aggression? And sexuality. Male-Female Hour, Dennis Prager Show.

Now, back to more of Dennis Prager's timeless wisdom.
Hi, hi everybody, Dennis Prager here. Male-female hour and a very sensitive issue that almost nobody talks about. Because they're afraid to. And they're afraid to because they, they don't want— they don't want to be called names. They don't want to hurt anybody. They don't want to be offensive. They don't want to acknowledge that there are specific problems that afflict the sexes. But it's interesting how nobody has any problem in acknowledging that we have to raise boys from the get-go to control their natures, but we don't say that about girls. And the thing about boys, of course, is their sexual nature and their aggressive nature have to be controlled every day. And the power of emotions to overwhelm a woman's good sense and afflict terrible damage on those who love her and herself. This is not— you're not allowed to talk about that. To say that women have any distinctive problem is to be sexist, after all, right? But you could say men have distinctive problems, and that's not sexist. Of course, we should drop the word sexist and just ask the word— ready? Here's a dramatic term— true! Is it true? This is what we— you are taught in college not to ask. You're not— you are not ever taught to ask, is it true? You are taught to ask, is it fair? Is it tolerant? Is it open? Is it homophobic, Islamophobic, sexist, racist? But you're never asked—
Is it true?
to monitor, to assess, is something true or not? And that's a part of the upside-down world that we have created. I appreciate your calls tremendously because a lot of women are acknowledging this. But if you have a problem with what I'm saying, I want to hear from you as well. All right, let's just go immediately to some calls. Jonathan in Los Angeles, thanks for calling. This is Dennis Prager.
Hi, Dennis. First of all, I'd like to tell you I have enormous respect for you.
Thank you.
I, I have 2 teenage daughters, 13 and 15, and I would love to teach them how to control their emotions. And I wonder if you had any ideas on how to get them started, because their emotions are raging right now.
Do you have any boys?
No.
Okay.
Imagine though, Sean, by the way, I'm getting an echo here on my own my own voice to callers. Imagine that you had a son who was, who was that emotional. What would you say to him?
Well, I guess I'd try and use logic, which is easier with boys, in my experience, than with my daughters. I guess I'd try and say, Look at the— look at the result of your actions and, uh, um, yeah, just try and use logic.
Well, I want you to do that with your daughters. I want you to imagine that they were boys. In this regard, do not raise them any differently from boys. You expect the exact same rational behavior and rational response as you would from a boy. See, people react on the basis of expectations. When we expect people to be irrational or we accept it, then they will be irrational or non-rational or just emotional. And if we don't expect it, then they will, they will— kids live up to our expectations. You expect little, you get little. Uh, it, it is true for anything in life. Now, I think a lot of parents have, have different expectations in different areas, like You know, they expect great grades. I have never been a great grades expector. But, you know, different parents will make different decisions. But one should expect rational behavior. One should expect decent behavior. These are, to me, basic things. Raise your daughters with regard to behavior and emotions exactly the same as you would raise boys. That's rule number one. I don't tolerate emotional outbursts or whatever just because you are female, any more than I tolerate predatory behavior from a boy with regard to girls just because he's a boy. That's all. And we need— there is symmetry in life. There is symmetry. There isn't exactness. There isn't Sameness, but there is symmetry. See, that's, that's the point. There isn't sameness, but there is symmetry. And boys have their battles with their natures. Girls and women have their battles with their natures. Boys and men, girls and women. And I'm sorry, you are now being irrational and I will not accept it. Just say it. Let them even know it, even if they at the moment that Put the recordings in their brains. The best we could hope for— well, I don't know if it's the best, but one of the good things we can hope for is that whereas we're not having immediate results with a child, we're putting recordings in their brain. And you know I'm right because every one of you has recordings from your parents in your brain, no matter how old you are. And so put the recording in. That is not rational. And get, get out of it. I'm sorry, get out of it. Jonathan, I hope that helps. But remember the rule, if they were a boy, how you would react. And if they don't react to logic, then there needs to be some consequences. Okay, let's go to Sarah in Tucson, Arizona. Sarah, Dennis Prager.
Hi, Dennis.
Hi.
Well, my dad, he raised— I have 2 sisters, and he raised us not to let emotion rule our lives. And I mean, anytime we were getting out of control, he'd come right back to it. And I think we do a pretty good job of not letting that happen, but occasionally it still does. And it's a very fine line to walk and hard sometimes to see—
Yeah.
Which is my emotion and which is my That's a great way of putting it, because you don't know. The emotion says this is rational.
Yes, it does, and it's hard to tell sometimes.
That, that's right. That is— that's very powerful, Sarah. Uh, that was one of the great insights into the, into the challenge that the female has with, with her emotions, because how does she know if it's emotional or rational? The emotion doesn't announce, hello, I am an emotion. It comes across to the, to the woman as a perfectly legitimate response. Of course, of course he deserves my anger. Look at what he did. Of course I should be, uh, I should be angry now. Or of course I should be sullen. Or of course this deserves an outburst. Or of course this should make me incredibly sad. Of course, who wouldn't? Anybody who doesn't, doesn't think straight. That's, that's a very, very good point. That's where it is very helpful to have a— this is where women need men. Yes, more than fish need bicycles, just as men need women so much. We need that. We need the other who specializes In areas that we're weak, naturally specializes because that's a male. And, you know, I mean, if we have an irrational male, then, you know, oh, we're really, we're really screwed. Forgive the language, but, but that, that's— I'm assuming that your, your male, uh, or the males in your life are more rational. They can help you on that. And they must, by the way, guys, you must.

Now back to more of Dennis Prager's timeless wisdom.
Why does it always seem to be me looking at you with you looking at me?
It's always the same.
It's just a shame, that's all. All right, my friends, Dennis Prager here, the Male-Female Hour. Look, I make, I make no bones about it, and I put myself out, um, I, I put myself on the line when I do this. I, I expose vulnerability. I want to touch your life.
I do.
I admit it.
I'm not a woman. That's my agenda. I fully acknowledge it. And to do that, you have to take risks in saying things that will be attacked, as I was when I spoke about the issue of when, quote unquote, when women are not in the mood, and got attacked on the internet, I mean, just beyond belief, so badly. That the biggest left-wing blog, one of its bloggers said, you're being unfair to Dennis Prager. I never agree with him, but you've gone overboard. And like this, I'm sure that there are people listening who are just— who have been programmed by college to never react by asking, is what is said true? But rather, is what is said sexist, racist, homophobic, whatever? Truth is a non-issue. to the politically correct. Political correctness is the issue. It's not politically correct to say that women need to control their emotions, but it is politically correct to say that women need to control their nature. But that's what we're talking about, the power of emotions in women to overwhelm them and to overwhelm their relationships and to be destructive. And the earlier that Reason can conquer emotion in a woman, as in a man too, obviously, but it's easier for men by and large. The better it is for the woman and the better it is for those who interact with her. All right, let's go to more of your calls. Anchorage, Alaska, Monica. Hi, Monica, Dennis Prager.
Hi, Mr. Prager, nice to talk to you.
Thank you.
My comment was that one of the things that helps me immensely in controlling my emotions, and I guess Controlling my hormones is my diet, making sure I take my vitamins and eating properly. And even my husband has noticed a real change in me when I started doing that.
No kidding? Like what, for example? What did you drop and what did you add?
I dropped caffeine, and one of the vitamins that I've really been focusing on is actually getting enough of my B vitamins. And this was something that was suggested to me to control PMS symptoms. And when I started doing that, I was just a lot more even-keeled month-round. So—
Well, let me— listen, my answer— or there's no answer, you didn't ask a question, but my response is, first of all, I salute you. I do. At 27 and female, to even know that it's something worth battling is tremendously to your credit. Number 2, I don't care what works. I am sure that for every woman for whom coffee is a problem, for another one, coffee is a solution. All right. I happen to know one. So, but it doesn't matter. I don't— I have no doubt, by the way, exercise and diet both have tremendous impacts on mood. Exercise is an endorphin producer to begin with. And diet. I know that when I have too much sugar, my head starts to spin. I actually, I feel it. So of course, if those things are factors, then by golly, they're worth trying. What is most important to me is not the solution right now, is the acknowledgement. That's what's clarifying and important. This is a problem for women, as the sexual nature and aggressive nature is a— are problems for men in their nature. All right, let's go to Philip in Sarasota, Florida. Philip, hi, Dennis Prager.
Hi, Dennis. I want to just first off say that I appreciate my wife. She's a wonderful woman.
Wonderful.
And we've been married 13 years. And sometimes, you know, like the emotions— we were young and, and all of a sudden all these emotions come out after marriage. And I was kind of like, I didn't know what to do. So for 13 years, you know, we've been trying to figure it out. I appreciate her because she acknowledges it and she tries to get control of it, but it's hard for her.
So, uh—
I know. Have you— well, have you made any progress in 13 years?
Yeah, but you know, it's almost like a cycle.
Yeah, yeah. All right, we'll comment when we get back. You're listening to the Male-Female Hour on The Dennis Prager Show.

Now, back to more of Dennis Prager's timeless wisdom.
Eric in Tampa, I'm sorry, I actually dropped you by accident. If you can get back in, please, please call. I hope you can before the line is taken up with another call. All right, Sarasota, married 13 years. This is the male-female hour, Dennis Prager Show. The issue is the conquering of our natures. Men having to battle their nature and sexuality and aggression, women having to battle the power of emotions to overwhelm them and their relationships. And here, 13 years, and his wife acknowledges it. And here is where you folks could be of help. This is not an— this is not something I have an instant answer for. What I have for you that can help is the— is, is 50% of the issue is the acknowledgement that emotions can be a very serious A problem in female nature. Now, we obviously want women to be emotional. I mean, just as we want men to be sexual. A woman, you know, I'll never forget when I was a bachelor and I was dating and I was about 30 years old and I was with a very attractive woman and we were talking about this at a dinner. And she said, I want— I mean, it made such an impact on me that I remember it all these years later. I want a man who has a very strong libido, very sexually charged, but has only eyes for me. You know, and I started humming the Twilight Zone theme because the odds are that if a man is that libidinally charged, sexually vibrant, He won't only have eyes for you. That's not male nature. He should restrict all his behavior to you. That's correct. But only eyes for you? That's asking something that is not pretty much available. Yes, that was the theme.
All right, thank you.
So we want women to have emotions, and we want— we don't want replicas of men, but we do want them to be able to conquer it. And 13 years they have been battling. At least he says she acknowledges it. Now, it is interesting that he said when they were dating, he didn't see this in her, which leads me to believe— I've— I talk about this in my lectures on, on, on men and women, and I, it— I always wonder about that. Why do women, and sometimes men too, but we'll talk about women here, why do they show things after marriage that they didn't while dating? And does that mean that they can control their nature? This notion about not being able to control your emotions, how come they can do so with strangers? How come they never, they never let loose on strangers? You know, uh, where, where, you know, they'll be, they'll be very, uh, down or even angry, and then somebody will ring the doorbell and they'll become as pleasant as the day is long. I mean, that shows an ability to control, doesn't it?
Okay.
Alrighty, let's go to Emily in Schaefer, Minnesota. Emily, Dennis Prager.
Hi, how are you?
I'm well, thank you.
I love this show, by the way, and I completely agree with you. But I think, and this kind of goes with the comment you just said about women before they're married, I think a lot of times women Start having, um, I, I say problem in a liberal way, a problem with their emotions because they start to learn that nobody acknowledges the feelings that those emotions are creating. You know, if a woman feels angry and is never acknowledged, she becomes to show anger in an inappropriate way.
So therefore, the, the way to help a woman control her emotions is by acknowledging them?
I think to acknowledge the initial feeling, not necessarily her behavior, especially if she's, you know, erupting and throwing things and yelling. I don't think that's—
Oh, all right, fine. But she should be— she should feel free to express it in a rational way.
And I agree with that. I know, for instance, in my life, I was worse as a child because I grew up with a very emotionally charged father. And as I grew up and got older and more mature and married a man who is a lot more sensitive to my emotions, that changed.
Okay, that's wonderful. You're a wonderful woman, Emily. Thank you. I appreciate that call. I think there may be something to that. A woman wants her emotions acknowledged. By the way, a man wants his acknowledged too. Part of the issue that I often talk about with male sexuality is that men are Afraid to talk about their sexuality to their wives for fear of scaring them, of the wife thinking he's a pervert, or whatever it is. We both want to be acknowledged for whom we are and for how we feel. And that's a very legitimate— that's very legitimate without throwing a tantrum. That's right. Fair enough. All right. We did get Eric happily in Tampa, Florida. Hi, Eric. Dennis Prager.
Hi, Dennis. Hi, Dennis. Let me just say that I really do appreciate your holistic approach to faith, life, and politics, and think it's just wonderful.
Thank you very much, Eric.
I wanted to talk about my wife. She has acknowledged, you know, her emotions and being overly emotional in the way that she acts sometimes, and I found it's been kind of hard on her now because she has a harder time relating to other women who haven't acknowledged that. And unfortunately for us, she really hasn't been able to find friends who have made the same kind of acknowledgment and commitment that she has, and has a hard time relating to them, especially in church groups and things like that.
Well, how did your wife deal with this? What did she do?
You know, to tell you the truth, I'm not really sure. I've only been married for about a year, but we went through extensive premarital counseling And I do think that that helped us deal with not just her emotions, but my, you know, aggression and things like that.
Well, it would be a great service to humanity if I could get your wife on the line one day. This is, this is where, by the way, those of you listening, and the vast majority in this case would be women, if you have worked on this and have found ways, I will read your letters on the air. I will publicize this. I don't, I don't have terrific answers. I have good clarity, but not in this issue, not great solutions, and I would like them. I know how on the bringing up, yes, of the daughters, I have solutions. Back in a moment.
Hi Dennis, my name is Debbie. I have prayed for you. I know many of us hurt for you. I couldn't believe you came back so strong. I mean, God and your positivity and, you know, great doctors. But I'm listening to you right now, and I'm praying that you get better, Dennis. Bless you, Dennis. Thank you. Keep touching lives.
You say goodbye, and I say hello.
Hello, hello. Hello, hello.
Why you say goodbye? I say hello.
Hello, hello. I don't know why you say goodbye. I say hello.
Alrighty, everybody. You're listening to the Dennis Prager Show, the male female hour. Eighty percent of the solution to this problem. Which is huge between men and women and huge between women and women as well. And that is of women confronting their nature, is acknowledging that they have to. We have lived in a very stupid period, perhaps the stupidest period in Western and certainly in American history, and perhaps since what we'd call the early Dark Ages. Which were not so much stupid as, as, uh, superstitious. Uh, this is an extraordinarily stupid time we live in. It's been so since the '60s. And part of it has been this ridiculous celebration of women at the expense of men. You either celebrate both sexes or you don't celebrate either sex, which is the way I look at it. I don't celebrate men and I don't celebrate women. I celebrate good individuals of, of both sexes. I don't believe woman is beautiful. I don't mean, I don't believe man is beautiful. Some men are and some women are. And each sex has huge battles to fight to become a beautiful human being. And the biggest for women is probably the battle with their emotions. And just as we need men to have a nature that is both sexual and aggressive, otherwise nobody will fight the bad guys, and nobody— and we won't procreate much, and that which is appealing about men, their virility to women, would be squashed. So we want that, just as we want a certain emotional base to the female, not to be a replica of the male. But they both have to fight the excesses that come with the kernel that is beautiful. That's interesting. Let's see. Leah in Denver says, when my daughters are having a problem with their husbands, I always tell them to look at their wedding videos. That's very touching. They should probably both, both the, the husbands should too, probably. Ah, yes, we talked about this. Renee in Los Angeles, the difference between men and women is men say what's on their mind, whereas women want you to guess what's on their minds. Yeah, we've actually, I think we've covered that in detail. Alan, let's check if we had an hour on that. Women wanting you to know what their husband to know what they're feeling. Anyway, women, write to me and let me know how you have dealt with this if you have successfully, and I will bring this to the attention of other listeners. Thank you for listening. Don't go away. I'm Dennis Prager.
