Not Synced
How does it feel to be
-
Not Synced
the same sex as Donald Trump?
-
Not Synced
How does it feel to be
-
Not Synced
the same sex as Sarah Palin?
-
Not Synced
How does it feel to be
-
Not Synced
the same sex as Michelle Bachman?
-
Not Synced
How does it feel to be the
-
Not Synced
same sex as anybody you disagree with?
-
Not Synced
Why does it even matter
-
Not Synced
whether or not you're the
-
Not Synced
same gender as somebody else?
-
Not Synced
I mean, I'm also the same
-
Not Synced
gender as Abraham Lincoln, Einstein,
-
Not Synced
and the guy who introduced
-
Not Synced
chocolate to the Western world.
-
Not Synced
So what are you even getting
-
Not Synced
at with this question?
-
Not Synced
Are you trying to say Donald Trump
-
Not Synced
is bad, and Donald Trump
-
Not Synced
is a man, therefore men are bad?
-
Not Synced
Why do you hate rom-coms?
-
Not Synced
Or do you just feel like you
-
Not Synced
need to hate them?
-
Not Synced
Everybody likes The Notebook,
-
Not Synced
everybody likes Beyoncé.
-
Not Synced
It's just a fact.
-
Not Synced
Men hate romantic comedies
-
Not Synced
for the same reason you
-
Not Synced
hate video games with
-
Not Synced
over-sexualized female characters.
-
Not Synced
The men in these movies are
-
Not Synced
always willing to sacrifice
-
Not Synced
their careers, their dreams,
-
Not Synced
even their lives to win
-
Not Synced
the lead females' affection.
-
Not Synced
Now I don't have any empirical
-
Not Synced
data to back this up, but
-
Not Synced
it seems to me that
-
Not Synced
romantic comedies and
-
Not Synced
romance movies in general
-
Not Synced
cause women to have unrealistic
-
Not Synced
expectations of men and what
-
Not Synced
love should be like, and these
-
Not Synced
become the expectations
-
Not Synced
that men have to live up to,
-
Not Synced
and it's unfair.
-
Not Synced
Feminists like to bitch
-
Not Synced
about poor representation of women
-
Not Synced
in media intended for men
-
Not Synced
because they promote body issues
-
Not Synced
and shit like that
-
Not Synced
And I agree, to at least, an extent
-
Not Synced
But it's not any better for men
-
Not Synced
When we're expected to be Prince Charming,
-
Not Synced
ready and willing to sacrifice themselves
-
Not Synced
physically, mentally, and emotionally
-
Not Synced
And we're called selfish for daring to
-
Not Synced
have our own desires
-
Not Synced
or even misogynistic for daring to draw
-
Not Synced
attention to our own problems.
-
Not Synced
These movies appeal to the female fantasy
-
Not Synced
of having a night in shinning armor
-
Not Synced
swear their entire existence to pleasing
-
Not Synced
them, and thus reinforce these notions
-
Not Synced
within their target audience of women
-
Not Synced
like you that you somehow deserve
-
Not Synced
to have your boyfriends and husbands
-
Not Synced
give up everything that makes them
-
Not Synced
who they are and basically dehumanize
-
Not Synced
themselves for your pleasure and
-
Not Synced
devote 100% of their time and energy
-
Not Synced
to you. The fact that some of you
-
Not Synced
watching this scoffing at what I
-
Not Synced
just said only proves my point.
-
Not Synced
You have fooled yourself into thinking
-
Not Synced
that I'm somehow the one whose being
-
Not Synced
selfish when I object to the notion
-
Not Synced
that men should be expected to cave
-
Not Synced
into all of your demands, for the sake of
-
Not Synced
your perverted idealistic conception
-
Not Synced
of love. And I have no doubts that
-
Not Synced
some of you will accuse me of being
-
Not Synced
bitter at some ex girlfriend for saying
-
Not Synced
that, but I'm not and I will
-
Not Synced
pre-emptively characterize such an
-
Not Synced
argument as out cropping of the
-
Not Synced
very mentality that I'm talking about.
-
Not Synced
You expect
