(jazzy intro)
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 image 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
and should expect
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.
Even by the people he trusts most, because
that is what he has experienced for
his entire life, and you wonder why the
suicide rate for men is four times higher
than it is for women. I know what you're
going to say, you're going to say that
the social conditioning of men to not
show their emotions is part of the
patriarchy, and feminism is fighting to
change that. Good, what heroes you are,
let me give you a little golf clap while
you take a sip from your fucking
'Male Tears' mug while sitting in the
comfort of your safe space, where
men aren't allowed.
"Why are you always trying to prove your
masculinity?"
See my answer to the previous question.
Also wow, how egocentric are you.
You are so certain that the world
revolves around you that you believe that
when a man is acting like a man, that he
must be trying to prove something to you.
Like he couldn't possibly be acting like a
man just because he's, you know, a
fucking man. Why are you constantly trying
to prove your femininity to me? How
bout that?
"Why the fuck isn't it lady like to cuss?
When did words get gendered?"
It's also not considered gentlemen like
to curse. Swearing is generally
considered rude regardless of the gender
of the person who is doing it. Personally
I don't give a shit if you use
profanity. Go right the fuck ahead.
And when did words get genered?
I guess right around the time the
word feminist was invented, which is
at self a gendered word. I'm mean the
invention of feminism is when everything
suddenly became gendered. Like when assert
that interrupting people is somehow a
uniquely male behavior, or that only
women get told not to swear.
"Why is it your first instinct to doubt
women who have been sexually violated or
raped?"
Maybe a false rape accusation weren't
systemically encouraged by feminism,
we wouldn't have a problem. Notice how
this question is phrased, to doubt women
who have been sexually violated or raped.
The more salient question would be,
'Why do you doubt women who claim to have
been sexually violated or raped. And the
answer is because we have this thing
called the presumption of innocence.
That means a person who is accused of a
crime is innocent until proven guilty.
So it's not my first instinct to doubt,
it's my moral imperative to doubt until
evidence is forthcoming. You wouldn't put
somebody in jail just because somebody
accused them of murder nor would you put
them in jail just because somebody accused
them of theft, nor would you put them in
jail because somebody accused them of any
other crime. Why should accusations of
rape be held to a different standard? This
really isn't a difficult concept to
understand, and it both baffles me and
disturbs me how often I see feminists
failing to grasp this. For people who
claim to fight for social justice, you
really don't understand how justice works,
do you? See a man who its accused of rape,
will have his life ruined. That's not even
only if he is convicted, the mere
accusation is enough to cost him his job,
his relationships, his education and
career prospects, his home, his
reputation, and so on. If a woman wants
to ruin a man's life all she has to do is
accuse him of raping her and he will be
put through the ringer by law enforcement
and the media; and even if he is found not
guilty, the damage will have already been
done and the woman who made the false
accusation will get away scot free.
Really it astonishes me that even after
what happened at Duke and the University
of Virginia, that you're still asking
this question. Furthermore, feminists
have abused the word rape to point where
its lost all meaning. Everything is rape.
Its gotten to the point where if a woman
claims she was raped I have to wonder
if she means a guy actually forcibly put
his penis in her, or if she had
consensual sex and just decided to call it
rape when she decided she regretted it the
next morning, or if she's merely
complaining that a guy looked at her in
a way that made her feel uncomfortable.
I mean what even is rape at this point?
According to some feminists, it's rape if
a man changed positions during sex without
forewarning. It's rape if your boyfriend
breaks up with you because you cheated on
him. It's rape if you overhear somebody
calling somebody else a slut.
"I got raped, when my mother called
someone else's daughter a slut."
Really it's your own damn fault that
people are becoming increasingly reluctant
to believe rape accusations, because you
have expanded the definition so broadly,
that nobody even knows when you're really
talking about rape anymore. You did this,
you asked for it, and now you have buyers
remorse. Now let me pose a question to
you, why is it your first instinct to
doubt when a man says he was sexually
violated or raped by a woman.
"Why do you assume a woman is angry
because she's on her period?"
Because women get angry when they're on
their period. It's a scientific fact that
the hormonal changes a woman experiences
during her period cause her to become
irritable. This is called premenstrual
syndrome, or PMS. However, I don't
always assume a woman is angry because
she is on her period. If your boyfriend
thinks that, then maybe it's because
you're not being straight forward with him
and expecting him to be a mind reader.
Maybe you should try telling him why
you're angry. Ever thought about that?
Ever thought about simply telling him that
you're mad that he ate the last
Klondike bar or whatever trivial bullshit
you're getting your panties in twist over.
[mocking voice] "Awe he should just be
able to figure it out"
Yeah like you should be able to figure out
the answers to these stupid questions
you're asking.
"Why do you think women that wear makeup
are false advertising, we can say the same
thing about your dick size."
You actually answered the question
yourself. We consider it false
advertising for the same reason that you
think a man who stuffs the crotch of his
pants is false advertising. If you cover
up all your pimples and scars with makeup
you can't really be surprised when he's
taken aback upon discover that you
don't really look the way you did when you
first met. I mean wouldn't you feel like
you were lied to if you met a guy who
looked well dressed and drove a nice car,
but then you found out that he got his
clothes at goodwill, and he rented that
car with his burger king salary.
"Why isn't it weird that there's a bunch
of old white men sitting in a room,
making legislation about what I can and
can't do with my body?"
Wasn't it a room full of old white men
that decided the Roe v. Wade ruling.
You know, women have had the right to
vote for almost a hundred years now, and
polling data has found that women are more
likely to vote than men; and yet these
old white men keep getting elected.
And I see a lot of you people supporting
Bernie Sanders even though he looks pretty
fuckin old and white to me. Go figure.
Furthermore, why does it even matter that
they're white? Why does their melanin
level matter more than the merit of their
ideas? Wasn't it Martin Luther King Jr.
who once said "I have a dream that my
four little children will one day live in
a nation where they will not be judge by
the color of their skin, but by the
content of their character." For as much
as you people like to accuse other of
being racist, you sure do judge people
based on their race a lot. Oh but it's
not racism when you do it because of
power structures or some other mental
gymnastic bullshit, right? As if whether
or not the prejudice somebody is being
subjected to is institutionalized makes
any difference to them when it happens.
Fuck off. Racism is racism, regardless of
who is doing it to whom. Calling it
something other than racism doesn't
change the fact that it's fucking racism;
And the only people who think otherwise
are racist like you. This mentality that
only certain people can be racist hinges
on the categorization of people based on
their ethnicity, and the ascribing of
attributes to them such as privilege,
based on those racial categories. You
have to make judgements based on race to
make this argument work, you have to make
assumptions and generalization about their
race and origin to make those judgments.
So you have to be racist to use this
argument, how do you not see the problem
with this, how do you not see the problem
with putting people's race before the
merits of their argument and categorizing
people into a hierarchy of consideration
based on their race. How the fuck do you
expect to fight racism with racism, and
then expect people to take you seriously.
Maybe this is the reason why you think
that if somebody thinks that you're
stupid it must be because you're a woman.
You're projecting, you judge other people
based on their race and gender so you
assume other people are doing it to you.
Well I've got news for you, I don't think
you're stupid because you're a woman, I
think you're stupid because you're stupid.
Anyway I'm getting off topic, it's not
like they don't also tell me what I can't
do with my body. For example, I can't take
the palm of my hand and slap some sense
into you, without being considered
assault.
"Do you have a coochie?"
No.
"Why are straight guys so obsessed with
lesbians?"
Why are straight women so obsessed with
gay guys? Or better yet, why are women
so obsessed with lesbians? According to
Porn hub search data for 2014, the number
one thing women search for was lesbian
porn. Proportionately women look up
lesbian porn more than men do.
"How does it feel to get kicked in the
balls?"
How do you think it feels, you dumb
bitch?
"Do you ever get tired of being manly all
the time?"
Do you? You're the one that's dressed like
a lumberjack. To answer the question, no,
not really. It comes naturally to me
since I'm, you know, a man. The fact
that you're asking this question implies
that you sometimes get tired of being
feminine, so do you ever get tired of
being feminine all the time? Is that why
you're dressed like a lumberjack?
Would you like to be a man?
Well you have to pass a test first. Have
you mastered the art of manspreading?
Have you completed your forty hours of
rape training?
"Why are you so afraid of gender
equality?"
I'm not. You are. What I'm afraid of is
gender inequality. Which is what feminist
are actually pushing for. You want
examples? In 2005, Swedish Politian and
co-founder of feminist initiative,
Godrum Schyman, proposed what the media
called a man tax, which would have raised
taxes for men in Sweden. Basing it on the
idea that all men should be held
accountable for all man on women violence.
It should be noted that Schyman was
convicted of tax evasion in 2004, a
year before making this proposal.
In 2010, women's group leaders in Isreal
have unanimously opposed changes to rape
laws that would make it possible for
women to be convicted of rape. They
succeeded and now women in Israel commit
sex act on non-consenting adults or
children who are not old enough to
legally give informed consent, are not
actually being charged with rape, and are
instead charged with lesser crimes. In
2013 Indian feminists successfully
pressured the government to rewrite rape
laws in such a way that only men could be
charged with rape. In 2014, Jessica
Valenti published an article in the
Guardian advocating paying men less than
women. In 2015, York University planned to
hold an international men's day meant to
highlight issues affecting men and boys,
such as the high suicide rate, shorter
life expectancies, and struggles faced in
getting and education. It was canceled
after feminists student, staff, and alumni
protested and held a petition to ban it,
which received almost 200 signatures.
To add insult to injury, Holly Baxter
wrote a condescending article on
Independent.co.uk enlightening readers
why we don't need an international men's
day. You can claim the definition of
feminism is advocating gender equality
all you want, but actions speak louder than
words. And it's really hard to believe the
feminist movement is really a movement
for equality, when you dismiss anyone who
brings up men's issues as misogynists.
You say all men are rapists, you try to
ban men from certain place son college
campuses, you actively fight against
father's rights, undermine the
presumption of innocence when it comes
to rape accusations, and you deny
statistics about male victims of domestic
abuse. As well as protest and disrupt
conferences about male suicide.
"This is what mens' rights looks like"
All that said, why are you so afraid of
gender equality?
"Why do I deserve to be paid less
than you?"
"In what world does 77 cents
equal a dollar"
"In what world does 68 cents
equal a dollar"
"How is that fair?"
After I finished writing my answers
to all these questions, I actually
counted them and realized there are only
33 questions instead of 36.
I just naturally assumed these 4
questions are actually 1
and answer them as such, but
no. Buzzfeed actually considered
this compound question as a
bunch of separate questions, in order
to bolster their count for their
deceptive clickbaiting title. Like it
wasn't bad enough that they
are already not even really
questions. Anyway, this has been pointed
out countless times, by countless other
people, but the wage gap is bullshit.
And when I say its bullshit, I don't
mean that it doesn't exist. I mean its
bullshit because of the way its presented.
The observed wage gap is based on
comparing the average income of men to
the average income of women, without
considering any variables. Sometimes when
the wage gap is brought up, they add
that women get paid less for the same
jobs. But thats horseshit. Asking women
why they get paid less than men, is like
asking why men are more likely to die
in the workplace then woman. Its because
men and women tend to work different jobs.
And just like some jobs are more dangerous
than others, some jobs pay more than
others, and since men tend to work
higher paying jobs, such as those in STEM
fields. Men tend to make more money.And
even when you are comparing men and women
working the same jobs, there are things
which factor into why men get paid more.
Such as the fact that men are more likely
to work overtime, are more likely to ask
for raises or promotions, are less
likely to take time off, are more
competitive, are more likely to take risks
Prioritize earnings more than women.
Retire at a later age, and all these other
things which studies have found. With
all these taken into considertion
its no wonder that men get paid more.
Men work more, and really I hate to point
out this obvious bit of common sense,
but if companies could actually get away
with paying women less, don't you
think they would hire nothing but women,
to save money. Do you honestly think
that corporations are such boys clubs,
that giving advantages to men is
more important to them, then their profits
and shareholder interests. Don't be
stupid. And no, the fact that there are so
few women in STEM fields has nothing to
do with discrimination. In fact surveys
have found that there is a 2 to 1
preference for female applicants
in STEM fields over equally qualified
men. So the reason that there is so few
women in STEM fields is because few women
are interested in pursuing careers in
STEM fields. If you want more women in
STEM fields, then maybe you shouldn't
have wasted your parents money on a degree
in gender studies. And if you wish to
continue pushing the spaceless contention
that the patriarchies can keep women
out of STEM fields, then explain why the
patriarchy isn't stopping women from
dominating certain fields, such as
veterinary medicine, psychology
pharmacology, and biology. Furthermore
which is it? 77 cents to a dollar
or 68 cents? I've also heard other
feminist claim 72 cents. The fact that you
can't keep your story straight, kinda
says something about it. And I'm really
struggling to understand why you
thought including this discrepancy
in your video was a good idea.
Maybe you should have let a man proofread
it.
That was a joke, I know I have to explain
it because feminist don't understand
jokes, but it was a joke, alright.
"Why are you more intimidated by a women
who makes more money than you?
Thats awesome, more money"
I'm not. But since we're making
assumptions, why are you intimidated by
my deep, ooming, commanding,
yet sultry, baritone voice.
"Why are opinionated women seen
as bitches?"
"When opinionated men are seen as bosses"
Opinionated men aren't seen as bosses,
unless they actually are somebodies boss,
otherwise they're just called assholes.
Unless of course their opinions disagree
with you, in which case they are kicked
off their campus, banned from speaking
at events, and told to stop mansplaining.
Maybe thats why opinionated women like you
are seen as bitches.
"Why aren't you speaking up, when you
hear your male friends behind closed doors
make jokes that are offensive to women"
Because they're jokes and aren't meant
to be taken seriously.
"These people who are fucking offended by
rape jokes, don't even understand humor"
If thats not a good enough answer, then
let me ask you this, do you speak up when
your female friends, make jokes that
are offensive to men? No? Why not?
Oh because its empowering, right?
Fuck off. Also I thought you said you were
probably funnier than me. You think
of yourself as a funny women, but you
don't want people making jokes that don't
cater to your own personal taste. Stop
trying to police other peoples speech, you
empty headed bimbo.

"Why are you so afraid of recognizing
your own privilege? Doesn't mean your a
bad person, just recognize it, and do
something about it."
I just love how you boldly assert that I
have privilege, without backing up that
assertion at all, and then proceed to
talk down to me in this condescending
tone like its just so obvious its such a
unassailable argument.
It doesn't mean you're a bad person.
By I guess being the same gender as Donald
Trump does. To answer your question, its
because I don't have privilege. I really
don't. But you do. I defy you to name one,
just one, legal privilege, that I have
which you don't also have, because I can
think of serveral you have, which I don't
have. Let me list ten. Women are almost
always granted custody of children in a
divorce by default, unless the man can
prove she is unfit to care for them.
