How does it feel to be
the same sex as Donald Trump?
How does it feel to be
the same sex as Sarah Palin?
How does it feel to be
the same sex as Michelle Bachman?
How does it feel to be the
same sex as anybody you disagree with?
Why does it even matter
whether or not you're the
same gender as somebody else?
I mean, I'm also the same
gender as Abraham Lincoln, Einstein,
and the guy who introduced
chocolate to the Western world.
So what are you even getting
at with this question?
Are you trying to say Donald Trump
is bad, and Donald Trump
is a man, therefore men are bad?
Why do you hate rom-coms?
Or do you just feel like you
need to hate them?
Everybody likes The Notebook,
everybody likes Beyoncé.
It's just a fact.
Men hate romantic comedies
for the same reason you
hate video games with
over-sexualized female characters.
The men in these movies are
always willing to sacrifice
their careers, their dreams,
even their lives to win
the lead females' affection.
Now I don't have any empirical
data to back this up, but
it seems to me that
romantic comedies and
romance movies in general
cause women to have unrealistic
expectations of men and what
love should be like, and these
become the expectations
that men have to live up to,
and it's unfair.
Feminists like to bitch
about poor representation of women
in media intended for men
because they promote body issues
and shit like that
And I agree, to at least, an extent
But it's not any better for men
When we're expected to be Prince Charming,
ready and willing to sacrifice themselves
physically, mentally, and emotionally
And we're called selfish for daring to
have our own desires
or even misogynistic for daring to draw
attention to our own problems.
These movies appeal to the female fantasy
of having a night in shining armor
swear their entire existence to pleasing
them, and thus reinforce these notions
within their target audience of women
like you that you somehow deserve
to have your boyfriends and husbands
give up everything that makes them
who they are and basically dehumanize
themselves for your pleasure and
devote 100% of their time and energy
to you. The fact that some of you
watching this are scoffing at what I
just said only proves my point.
You have fooled yourself into thinking
that I'm somehow the one whose being
selfish when I object to the notion
that men should be expected to cave
into all of your demands, for the sake of
your perverted idealistic conception
of love. And I have no doubts that
some of you will accuse me of being
bitter at some ex girlfriend for saying
that, but I'm not and I will
pre-emptively characterize such an
argument as out cropping of the
very mentality that I'm talking about.
You expect all of your demands to be
catered to, and any man who is unwilling
or unable to cater to them must have
something wrong with them. Us men are
human beings with our own interests and
goals, and it's selfish for you to expect
us to give all that up for you.
But these movies condition you to expect
exactly that. And that is why we hate
romantic comedies. We don't see anything
romantic about them. What we see is the
reinforcement of unfair and unreasonable
expectations about what we should be doing
with our own lives. Also, fuck Beyonce.
"Why do you make women sit around and talk
about men in movies when y'all easily just
sit around and talk about boobs for hours?
One, I don't know, maybe you should be
asking that to people who rent romantic
comedies you like so much, because
those are the movies which have women
sitting around talking about men. Or,
better yet, instead of complaining about
how writers depict women in their movies,
maybe you should try being the change you
want to see and write your own damn movie.
Then you could make the female characters
sit around and talk about whatever you
want. Like how men are oppressing them, or
how men are objectifying them or how men
are such pigs, or how men spread their
legs too far apart on the subway, or how
men hate romantic comedies. There's
nothing stopping you.
Two, you're referring to the Bechdel Test,
which is bullshit. All the Twilight movies
pass the Bechdel Test, but I think you'd
hesitate to call any of those movies
"pro-feminist."
Three, I don't know a single guy who ever
talks about boobs for hours at a time.
I think the only guys who do are medical
students learning how to conduct
mammograms. You want to know what most of
the men I know talk about? Movies, video
games, politics, religion, music, sports,
cars, boats, technology, work, guns,
hunting, places they've been to, people
they've met, and so on. The subject of
boobs actually rarely ever comes up.
Contrary to what you may have been told in
your Women's Studies class, men don't
think about sex constantly. If we did, we
would never have invented the camera
equipment you used to make this video.
Four. If anybody's talking about boobs for
hours at a time, it's feminists. You're
the ones who are always whining about
the designs of fictional characters,
complaining that fat girls' tits are too
big. And in all honesty, the only time I
ever even think about a comic book
character's tits is when I hear a feminist
bring it up. So I think maybe you're
projecting.
"Why do you automatically assume that you
won't like the TV or movies that star a
female lead?"
I don't. In fact, some of my favorite
movies and TV shows have female leads.
I don't know a single man who has ever
scoffed at the notion of watching a movie
or TV show just because it has a female
protagonist. However, I have seen
feminists scoff at anything with a male
lead.
"Why are you surprised when women are
funny?" "I'm probably funnier than you!"
I'm not surprised when women are funny.
There are plenty of funny women out there.
[names not recognized], et cetera.
But I will say that, in general, women are
not as funny as men, and I think most
women won't agree with that statement.
I also think there's a reason for this.
See if you understand what humor is
and how it works, which I'm guessing
you don't because you're feminists,
then you know that the things that make
laugh often have their roots in very dark
subject matter.
To quote the amazing atheist,
"These people who are fucking offended
by rape jokes don't even understand
humor. They don't understand- They
think of humor as like a happy thing,
because humor makes us laugh and laughter
makes us happy, but a lot of the time
they don't seem to notice that what we're
actually laughing at is quite dark and
morbid. Like if you actually look at it
and examine the jokes, and look at the
exaggeration and try to figure out the
mechanics of how the joke works,
why does it work; you're gonna find that
a lot of jokes have their genesis in pain
and suffering. Because laughter is this
great transcendent tool we have, where
we can take something that- that's bitter
and difficult to comprehend or deal with,
and make it something funny.
Like if I take a joke like "How many
police officers does it take change a
light bulb?"
"None, they just beat the room for being
black." you know that joke has it's
genesis in some very serious, very dark
shit. And that joke is not making light
of the fact that people have suffered,
or it's not making light of the fact that
people, you know, marched in the Civil
Rights Movement, or- or that people are
racial discriminated against, or police
brutality. It's not making light of any
of that. What it's doing is it's taking
that pain and it's taking that dark
subject matter, and it's helping us
transcend it for a moment. And view
the absurdity of our circumstance.
Because that is what humor is supposed to
do. Humor at it's best takes the elements
of the world that are dark and horrible,
and shows you there absurdity. It shows
you the absurdity of the human condition.
and that is important."
See men are socially conditioned to not
talk openly and honestly about their
feelings, which I'll talk more about
later, and that's why we cultivate a sense
of humor. The only way we can really talk
about the things that upset us is if
we do it through the filter of comedy.
But women have the clears throat
"privilege" to not be subject to social
conditioning, and so they don't feel the
need to cultivate a sense of humor.
And that's why women, in general, aren't
as funny and men. That isn't to say that
all men are funny, or that all women are
unfunny. It's just that in general men are
funnier than women. I'm sorry but that's
how it is. Also no- I'd rather strongly
doubt that you're funnier than me.
And it's not because you're a women.
Just judging by how you look and talk,
I'm willing to bet that your sense of
humor boils down to saying something rude,
and then following it with "Just kidding".
I mean I'm not the funniest person in
the world but if you think of yourself
as the funny one, you probably lack the
objectivity to realizing that everybody
else in your circle of friends probably
thinks of you as the "annoying one".
Just kidding, actually I'm not.
"Why do you think we're obsessed with you
when we hook up?" "Nine times out of
ten, I just want you to leave too, I'm
busy, I got shit to do."
Probably because you do shit like text
us 50 times in the space of one hour, and
slash our tires when we dump you after you
accuse us of cheating because you saw our
sister's name in our call history. Also
what shit could you possibly have to do?
Pluck your eyebrows to the point
where they're so unnaturally clean around
the edges that they look like they're
drawn on? Spend your husband's money
on more frumpy sweaters? Buy a tub of
Ben & Jerry's and watch Glee? Or write
more questions for men to answer
because you're so lacking in self
awareness that you can't figure out the
answers for yourself?
"Why can't I sleep as many people as I
want to without being judged? When men do
it, they're congratulated"
Go ahead and sleep with as many
people as you want. I don't give a shit,
but once again I don't know anybody who
would. The only time I would care is if I
was dating you, because if you told me
you've been with 20 other guys before
I met you, I would naturally assume that
there was something wrong with you
if you've been in so many relationships
and have them all fail. Not to mention the
fact that your substantially more
likely to be carrying an STD. And I think
it's perfectly reasonable for a woman to
view men who have slept with a lot of
other women the same way. Also who's
congratulating men for sleeping around?
I don't see any guys walking around with
trophies for fucking everyone they've
met. It's not like having sex with easy
women is some kind of achievement.
Furthermore, I would say that most media
portrays men who do that as assholes
who should be looked at with content.
I mean -name not recognized- isn't
exactly portrayed as a model citizen.
By the way studies have found that the
majority of people who slut shame women,
are other women. Maybe you should be
directing this question at them and not
men.
"Why do you consider a woman a tease,
if she does sleep with you after three
dates, but a slut if she sleeps with you
on the first date?"
Why do you consider a man a douchebag if
he doesn't call you back three days after
he meets you, but desperate if he calls
you the next day?
"In what world does no mean yes?"
"No means no."
I don't know anybody who thinks no
means yes. Also this question seems to be
in the spirit of the feminist notion that
all men are potential rapists. Which
simply isn't true. I already talked about
this at length in my other video, "'Teach
men not to rape' is a stupid rhetoric".
Moving on.
"Why do you say that women are too
emotional to be leaders"
whispering: maybe if feminist argued
with logics instead of feelings, people
wouldn't think that.
"Then justify cat calling by saying
'men just can't control themselves'"
I've never heard a man say either, I have
hear women say both though.
"Why do you think that just because
you're nice to me, I owe you my body?"
Why do you think that just because I'm
nice to you that I want your body.
"Sometimes I've been walking down the
street, hysterically crying because my cat
was missing, and a man came up and
was like 'Hey what's up, why are you
crying? Can I talk to you?'
"But I want to continue this, so when
the guy up to you and asked you
how you were doing, did you judge his
intentions, or do you feel like-"
"I was like what the hell is wrong with
you I'm hysterically crying, holding
flyers that say missing cat."
"Wait what if he was checking how you were
doing because you were crying?"
"No he was- It was a catcall, it was like
a 'Hey pretty lady, like what's going on-"
"What if he was trying to be sweet to get
into you, like 'hey pretty lady, why are
you crying?'"
"He's not entitled to my time, honestly"
"If he had not said anything to you, then
he's a dick because he's a guy in society
who saw a girl crying and didn't do
anything."
"But it's a different- If he's saying that
to get my number, that's different that
him coming up and saying 'Whats
wrong, if I see your cat around, I'll let
you know. Like that's a different thing"
"But how is he going to know about your
cat, he saw a girl crying on the street"
"Well, it was just- I was hanging up the
flyers."
"Now I'll now if I ever see a girl crying
on the street, and she's hysterical and
she might've just lost her parents and
has nobody, I shouldn't go up to her
because she might think I'm objectify her"
"She doesn't know you. She doesn't know
you."
"But we're humans, we should care about
each other."
"Of course, of course, but I think you
have to understand what you come off
as to women. They don't know you. It's
like if a brown bear came up and said
hello to you. Like you just have to like-"
"Why would you ever send an unsolicited
dick pic?"
I wouldn't. If you didn't give out your
phone number to the types of guys you meet
in night clubs, you know the type of guys
who go to such clubs for the specific
purpose of meeting women, and who read
books about how to be a pick up artist;
maybe you wouldn't be getting dick pics
from them.
"Why do you feel like it's okay to harrass
women, or make offensive comments about
women, but when somebody does it to your
sister, it's not okay?"
Why do you feel like it's okay to make
these misandrist videos which paint all
men as sexual harassers or rapists, but
when somebody treats your son that way,
it's not okay?
"How does it feel to interrupt me when
I'm in the middle of making a point
during a meetings?"
You make it sound like the only people
who have ever interrupted you are men.
I smell confirmation bias. Hey have you
ever stopped to think that maybe people
interrupt you because they realize you're
talking shit and wasting time after only
two sentences.
"Why do you have to sit with your legs
so wide open?"
"I get that you have balls, but I don't
stand around with my arms wide open
to make room for my boobs."
Maybe that's because your boobs don't get
squished between your arms when you stand
normally with your arms down by your
sides. A man's balls are literally between
his legs, and they do get squished if he
puts his legs together. It's not exactly
an apt comparison. Furthermore, why
do you even care? I don't see you
complaining about women taking up
two seats with their bags.
"Why are women perceived as the weaker
sex? Even though we literally birth you,
like watermelons through like 'this'"
Because physical strength has nothing to
do with your ability to give birth. Women
are, generally speaking, not as physically
strong as men. The average man has about
50% greater upper body strength than the
average woman. I'm sorry but that's just
simple biology. There's also the fact
that men are by in large the one's who go
to war and fight and die to protect you.
Men are the ones who work the dangerous
jobs to make your comfortable lifestyle in
the industrialized world possible.
And historically men are also the ones
who have gone out into the unforgiving
wilderness to kill dangerous animals so
ungrateful entitled women like you could
eat. You as a woman are substantially less
likely to die during your daily activities
and you don't have to worry about being
called a deadbeat for not risking life in
a factory or field for the benefit of
others. Nor do you have to worry about
being told you don't have a real job
because you work with computers or push
pencils in a safe, clean environment.
Women work soft cushy jobs compared to
men and that's why women make only 7% of
workplace fatalities despite making up 47%
of the work force. That is why you're
perceived as the weaker sex. If you
don't want people to see you that way,
then get out of your comfortable air
conditioned studio and go work on a
craving boat on a coal mine. You're
always complaining about employment
discrimination, so go ahead, take the
dirty dangerous jobs and show us all just
how strong and tough you are. And look
I don't begrudge women for working jobs
that don't put them in danger and I will
freely admit that my job isn't
particularly dangerous; but if you're
going to sit there and act like women
are stronger than men just because you can
give birth, something which you have a
0.0002 percent chance of dying from if you
live in the United States, and that's up
from 15 years ago, then you can fuck right
off. By the way passing a kidney stone
hurts more than giving birth. Any woman
who has experienced both will tell you
that, and men get them more often so
blow me.
"Why is it so bad to show your emotions?"
"It means you're human."
Maybe it's because feminists like you
tell us we're misogynists for even
daring to complain about our problems.
Since you're not a man and you don't have
even the slightest inclining of what it's
like to be a man, let me spell it out for
you. Boys are socially conditioned from
the day we learn to talk to not express
our feelings. We are [unknown] constantly
be told to man up and that boys don't cry.
We don't have the privilege of showing
our emotions because if we do, it's a sign
of weakness. To put it simply, us men are
programmed to believe that our own
feelings are invalid, and so we hide them
and we lie about them. We are raised to
expect that if we tell you our feelings,
you will shoot them down. You will tell
us we're wrong for feeling the way we do,
and even if you don't, we still don't want
to tell you our feelings because
we know you'll use them against us.
You're probably thinking that you don't do
that but you do, you do it all the time
and don't even realize it. Ask yourself if
you have ever had an argument
with one of them men in your life and
you told them "If you were a real man..."
If you ever have then you have done
exactly what I'm talking about. See no
woman has ever been told "If you're
a real woman you wouldn't feel this way"
Women have their feelings cultivated and
coddled. You're not only allowed to cry.
you are expected to, and when you do,
people around you give you sympathy and
you are comforted. You are so used to
getting sympathy that you feel entitled
to it. Men don't have that luxury. A man
fully expects to be looked down upon,
and told that his feelings don't matter if
he shows any sign of emotional weakness
