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 image 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 shining 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
and should expect
-
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 are 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 all of your demands to be
-
Not Synced
catered to, and any man who is unwilling
-
Not Synced
or unable to cater to them must have
-
Not Synced
something wrong with them. Us men are
-
Not Synced
human beings with our own interests and
-
Not Synced
goals, and it's selfish for you to expect
-
Not Synced
us to give all that up for you.
-
Not Synced
But these movies condition you to expect
-
Not Synced
exactly that. And that is why we hate
-
Not Synced
romantic comedies. We don't see anything
-
Not Synced
romantic about them. What we see is the
-
Not Synced
reinforcement of unfair and unreasonable
-
Not Synced
expectations about what we should be doing
-
Not Synced
with our own lives. Also, fuck Beyonce.
-
Not Synced
"Why do you make women sit around and talk
-
Not Synced
about men in movies when y'all easily just
-
Not Synced
sit around and talk about boobs for hours?
-
Not Synced
One, I don't know, maybe you should be
-
Not Synced
asking that to people who rent romantic
-
Not Synced
comedies you like so much, because
-
Not Synced
those are the movies which have women
-
Not Synced
sitting around talking about men. Or,
-
Not Synced
better yet, instead of complaining about
-
Not Synced
how writers depict women in their movies,
-
Not Synced
maybe you should try being the change you
-
Not Synced
want to see and write your own damn movie.
-
Not Synced
Then you could make the female characters
-
Not Synced
sit around and talk about whatever you
-
Not Synced
want. Like how men are oppressing them, or
-
Not Synced
how men are objectifying them or how men
-
Not Synced
are such pigs, or how men spread their
-
Not Synced
legs too far apart on the subway, or how
-
Not Synced
men hate romantic comedies. There's
-
Not Synced
nothing stopping you.
-
Not Synced
Two, you're referring to the Bechdel Test,
-
Not Synced
which is bullshit. All the Twilight movies
-
Not Synced
pass the Bechdel Test, but I think you'd
-
Not Synced
hesitate to call any of those movies
-
Not Synced
"pro-feminist."
-
Not Synced
Three, I don't know a single guy who ever
-
Not Synced
talks about boobs for hours at a time.
-
Not Synced
I think the only guys who do are medical
-
Not Synced
students learning how to conduct
-
Not Synced
mammograms. You want to know what most of
-
Not Synced
the men I know talk about? Movies, video
-
Not Synced
games, politics, religion, music, sports,
-
Not Synced
cars, boats, technology, work, guns,
-
Not Synced
hunting, places they've been to, people
-
Not Synced
they've met, and so on. The subject of
-
Not Synced
boobs actually rarely ever comes up.
-
Not Synced
Contrary to what you may have been told in
-
Not Synced
your Women's Studies class, men don't
-
Not Synced
think about sex constantly. If we did, we
-
Not Synced
would never have invented the camera
-
Not Synced
equipment you used to make this video.
-
Not Synced
Four. If anybody's talking about boobs for
-
Not Synced
hours at a time, it's feminists. You're
-
Not Synced
the ones who are always whining about
-
Not Synced
the designs of fictional characters,
-
Not Synced
complaining that fat girls' tits are too
-
Not Synced
big. And in all honesty, the only time I
-
Not Synced
ever even think about a comic book
-
Not Synced
character's tits is when I hear a feminist
-
Not Synced
bring it up. So I think maybe you're
-
Not Synced
projecting.
-
Not Synced
"Why do you automatically assume that you
-
Not Synced
won't like the TV or movies that star a
-
Not Synced
female lead?"
-
Not Synced
I don't. In fact, some of my favorite
-
Not Synced
movies and TV shows have female leads.
-
Not Synced
I don't know a single man who has ever
-
Not Synced
scoffed at the notion of watching a movie
-
Not Synced
or TV show just because it has a female
-
Not Synced
protagonist. However, I have seen
-
Not Synced
feminists scoff at anything with a male
-
Not Synced
lead.
-
Not Synced
"Why are you surprised when women are
-
Not Synced
funny?" "I'm probably funnier than you!"
-
Not Synced
I'm not surprised when women are funny.
-
Not Synced
There are plenty of funny women out there.
-
Not Synced
[names not recognized], et cetera.
-
Not Synced
But I will say that, in general, women are
-
Not Synced
not as funny as men, and I think most
-
Not Synced
women won't agree with that statement.
-
Not Synced
I also think there's a reason for this.
-
Not Synced
See if you understand what humor is
-
Not Synced
and how it works, which I'm guessing
-
Not Synced
you don't because you're feminists,
-
Not Synced
then you know that the things that make
-
Not Synced
laugh often have their roots in very dark
-
Not Synced
subject matter.
-
Not Synced
To quote the amazing atheist,
-
Not Synced
"These people who are fucking offended
-
Not Synced
by rape jokes don't even understand
-
Not Synced
humor. They don't understand- They
-
Not Synced
think of humor as like a happy thing,
-
Not Synced
because humor makes us laugh and laughter
-
Not Synced
makes us happy, but a lot of the time
-
Not Synced
they don't seem to notice that what we're
-
Not Synced
actually laughing at is quite dark and
-
Not Synced
morbid. Like if you actually look at it
-
Not Synced
and examine the jokes, and look at the
-
Not Synced
exaggeration and try to figure out the
-
Not Synced
mechanics of how the joke works,
-
Not Synced
why does it work; you're gonna find that
-
Not Synced
a lot of jokes have their genesis in pain
-
Not Synced
and suffering. Because laughter is this
-
Not Synced
great transcendent tool we have, where
-
Not Synced
we can take something that- that's bitter
-
Not Synced
and difficult to comprehend or deal with,
-
Not Synced
and make it something funny.
-
Not Synced
Like if I take a joke like "How many
-
Not Synced
police officers does it take change a
-
Not Synced
light bulb?"
-
Not Synced
"None, they just beat the room for being
-
Not Synced
black." you know that joke has it's
-
Not Synced
genesis in some very serious, very dark
-
Not Synced
shit. And that joke is not making light
-
Not Synced
of the fact that people have suffered,
-
Not Synced
or it's not making light of the fact that
-
Not Synced
people, you know, marched in the Civil
-
Not Synced
Rights Movement, or- or that people are
-
Not Synced
racial discriminated against, or police
-
Not Synced
brutality. It's not making light of any
-
Not Synced
of that. What it's doing is it's taking
-
Not Synced
that pain and it's taking that dark
-
Not Synced
subject matter, and it's helping us
-
Not Synced
transcend it for a moment. And view
-
Not Synced
the absurdity of our circumstance.
-
Not Synced
Because that is what humor is supposed to
-
Not Synced
do. Humor at it's best takes the elements
-
Not Synced
of the world that are dark and horrible,
-
Not Synced
and shows you there absurdity. It shows
-
Not Synced
you the absurdity of the human condition.
-
Not Synced
and that is important."
-
Not Synced
See men are socially conditioned to not
-
Not Synced
talk openly and honestly about their
-
Not Synced
feelings, which I'll talk more about
-
Not Synced
later, and that's why we cultivate a sense
-
Not Synced
of humor. The only way we can really talk
-
Not Synced
about the things that upset us is if
-
Not Synced
we do it through the filter of comedy.
-
Not Synced
But women have the clears throat
-
Not Synced
"privilege" to not be subject to social
-
Not Synced
conditioning, and so they don't feel the
-
Not Synced
need to cultivate a sense of humor.
-
Not Synced
And that's why women, in general, aren't
-
Not Synced
as funny and men. That isn't to say that
-
Not Synced
all men are funny, or that all women are
-
Not Synced
unfunny. It's just that in general men are
-
Not Synced
funnier than women. I'm sorry but that's
-
Not Synced
how it is. Also no- I'd rather strongly
-
Not Synced
doubt that you're funnier than me.
-
Not Synced
And it's not because you're a women.
-
Not Synced
Just judging by how you look and talk,
-
Not Synced
I'm willing to bet that your sense of
-
Not Synced
humor boils down to saying something rude,
-
Not Synced
and then following it with "Just kidding".
-
Not Synced
I mean I'm not the funniest person in
-
Not Synced
the world but if you think of yourself
-
Not Synced
as the funny one, you probably lack the
-
Not Synced
objectivity to realizing that everybody
-
Not Synced
else in your circle of friends probably
-
Not Synced
thinks of you as the "annoying one".
-
Not Synced
Just kidding, actually I'm not.
-
Not Synced
"Why do you think we're obsessed with you
-
Not Synced
when we hook up?" "Nine times out of
-
Not Synced
ten, I just want you to leave too, I'm
-
Not Synced
busy, I got shit to do."
-
Not Synced
Probably because you do shit like text
-
Not Synced
us 50 times in the space of one hour, and
-
Not Synced
slash our tires when we dump you after you
-
Not Synced
accuse us of cheating because you saw our
-
Not Synced
sister's name in our call history. Also
-
Not Synced
what shit could you possibly have to do?
-
Not Synced
Pluck your eyebrows to the point
-
Not Synced
where they're so unnaturally clean around
-
Not Synced
the edges that they look like they're
-
Not Synced
drawn on? Spend your husband's money
-
Not Synced
on more frumpy sweaters? Buy a tub of
-
Not Synced
Ben & Jerry's and watch Glee? Or write
-
Not Synced
more questions for men to answer
-
Not Synced
because you're so lacking in self
-
Not Synced
awareness that you can't figure out the
-
Not Synced
answers for yourself?
-
Not Synced
"Why can't I sleep as many people as I
-
Not Synced
want to without being judged? When men do
-
Not Synced
it, they're congratulated"
-
Not Synced
Go ahead and sleep with as many
-
Not Synced
people as you want. I don't give a shit,
-
Not Synced
but once again I don't know anybody who
-
Not Synced
would. The only time I would care is if I
-
Not Synced
was dating you, because if you told me
-
Not Synced
you've been with 20 other guys before
-
Not Synced
I met you, I would naturally assume that
-
Not Synced
there was something wrong with you
-
Not Synced
if you've been in so many relationships
-
Not Synced
and have them all fail. Not to mention the
-
Not Synced
fact that your substantially more
-
Not Synced
likely to be carrying an STD. And I think
-
Not Synced
it's perfectly reasonable for a woman to
-
Not Synced
view men who have slept with a lot of
-
Not Synced
other women the same way. Also who's
-
Not Synced
congratulating men for sleeping around?
-
Not Synced
I don't see any guys walking around with
-
Not Synced
trophies for fucking everyone they've
-
Not Synced
met. It's not like having sex with easy
-
Not Synced
women is some kind of achievement.
-
Not Synced
Furthermore, I would say that most media
-
Not Synced
portrays men who do that as assholes
-
Not Synced
who should be looked at with content.
-
Not Synced
I mean -name not recognized- isn't
-
Not Synced
exactly portrayed as a model citizen.
-
Not Synced
By the way studies have found that the
-
Not Synced
majority of people who slut shame women,
-
Not Synced
are other women. Maybe you should be
-
Not Synced
directing this question at them and not
-
Not Synced
men.
-
Not Synced
"Why do you consider a woman a tease,
-
Not Synced
if she does sleep with you after three
-
Not Synced
dates, but a slut if she sleeps with you
-
Not Synced
on the first date?"
-
Not Synced
Why do you consider a man a douchebag if
-
Not Synced
he doesn't call you back three days after
-
Not Synced
he meets you, but desperate if he calls
-
Not Synced
you the next day?
-
Not Synced
"In what world does no mean yes?"
-
Not Synced
"No means no."
-
Not Synced
I don't know anybody who thinks no
-
Not Synced
means yes. Also this question seems to be
-
Not Synced
in the spirit of the feminist notion that
-
Not Synced
all men are potential rapists. Which
-
Not Synced
simply isn't true. I already talked about
-
Not Synced
this at length in my other video, "'Teach
-
Not Synced
men not to rape' is a stupid rhetoric".
-
Not Synced
Moving on.
-
Not Synced
"Why do you say that women are too
-
Not Synced
emotional to be leaders"
-
Not Synced
whispering: maybe if feminist argued
-
Not Synced
with logics instead of feelings, people
-
Not Synced
wouldn't think that.
-
Not Synced
"Then justify cat calling by saying
-
Not Synced
'men just can't control themselves'"
-
Not Synced
I've never heard a man say either, I have
-
Not Synced
hear women say both though.
-
Not Synced
"Why do you think that just because
-
Not Synced
you're nice to me, I owe you my body?"
-
Not Synced
Why do you think that just because I'm
-
Not Synced
nice to you that I want your body.
-
Not Synced
"Sometimes I've been walking down the
-
Not Synced
street, hysterically crying because my cat
-
Not Synced
was missing, and a man came up and
-
Not Synced
was like 'Hey what's up, why are you
-
Not Synced
crying? Can I talk to you?'
-
Not Synced
"But I want to continue this, so when
-
Not Synced
the guy up to you and asked you
-
Not Synced
how you were doing, did you judge his
-
Not Synced
intentions, or do you feel like-"
-
Not Synced
"I was like what the hell is wrong with
-
Not Synced
you I'm hysterically crying, holding
-
Not Synced
flyers that say missing cat."
-
Not Synced
"Wait what if he was checking how you were
-
Not Synced
doing because you were crying?"
-
Not Synced
"No he was- It was a catcall, it was like
-
Not Synced
a 'Hey pretty lady, like what's going on-"
-
Not Synced
"What if he was trying to be sweet to get
-
Not Synced
into you, like 'hey pretty lady, why are
-
Not Synced
you crying?'"
-
Not Synced
"He's not entitled to my time, honestly"
-
Not Synced
"If he had not said anything to you, then
-
Not Synced
he's a dick because he's a guy in society
-
Not Synced
who saw a girl crying and didn't do
-
Not Synced
anything."
-
Not Synced
"But it's a different- If he's saying that
-
Not Synced
to get my number, that's different that
-
Not Synced
him coming up and saying 'Whats
-
Not Synced
wrong, if I see your cat around, I'll let
-
Not Synced
you know. Like that's a different thing"
-
Not Synced
"But how is he going to know about your
-
Not Synced
cat, he saw a girl crying on the street"
-
Not Synced
"Well, it was just- I was hanging up the
-
Not Synced
flyers."
-
Not Synced
"Now I'll now if I ever see a girl crying
-
Not Synced
on the street, and she's hysterical and
-
Not Synced
she might've just lost her parents and
-
Not Synced
has nobody, I shouldn't go up to her
-
Not Synced
because she might think I'm objectify her"
-
Not Synced
"She doesn't know you. She doesn't know
-
Not Synced
you."
-
Not Synced
"But we're humans, we should care about
-
Not Synced
each other."
-
Not Synced
"Of course, of course, but I think you
-
Not Synced
have to understand what you come off
-
Not Synced
as to women. They don't know you. It's
-
Not Synced
like if a brown bear came up and said
-
Not Synced
hello to you. Like you just have to like-"
-
Not Synced
"Why would you ever send an unsolicited
-
Not Synced
dick pic?"
-
Not Synced
I wouldn't. If you didn't give out your
-
Not Synced
phone number to the types of guys you meet
-
Not Synced
in night clubs, you know the type of guys
-
Not Synced
who go to such clubs for the specific
-
Not Synced
purpose of meeting women, and who read
-
Not Synced
books about how to be a pick up artist;
-
Not Synced
maybe you wouldn't be getting dick pics
-
Not Synced
from them.
-
Not Synced
"Why do you feel like it's okay to harrass
-
Not Synced
women, or make offensive comments about
-
Not Synced
women, but when somebody does it to your
-
Not Synced
sister, it's not okay?"
-
Not Synced
Why do you feel like it's okay to make
-
Not Synced
these misandrist videos which paint all
-
Not Synced
men as sexual harassers or rapists, but
-
Not Synced
when somebody treats your son that way,
-
Not Synced
it's not okay?
-
Not Synced
"How does it feel to interrupt me when
-
Not Synced
I'm in the middle of making a point
-
Not Synced
during a meetings?"
-
Not Synced
You make it sound like the only people
-
Not Synced
who have ever interrupted you are men.
-
Not Synced
I smell confirmation bias. Hey have you
-
Not Synced
ever stopped to think that maybe people
-
Not Synced
interrupt you because they realize you're
-
Not Synced
talking shit and wasting time after only
-
Not Synced
two sentences.
-
Not Synced
"Why do you have to sit with your legs
-
Not Synced
so wide open?"
-
Not Synced
"I get that you have balls, but I don't
-
Not Synced
stand around with my arms wide open
-
Not Synced
to make room for my boobs."
-
Not Synced
Maybe that's because your boobs don't get
-
Not Synced
squished between your arms when you stand
-
Not Synced
normally with your arms down by your
-
Not Synced
sides. A man's balls are literally between
-
Not Synced
his legs, and they do get squished if he
-
Not Synced
puts his legs together. It's not exactly
-
Not Synced
an apt comparison. Furthermore, why
-
Not Synced
do you even care? I don't see you
-
Not Synced
complaining about women taking up
-
Not Synced
two seats with their bags.
-
Not Synced
"Why are women perceived as the weaker
-
Not Synced
sex? Even though we literally birth you,
-
Not Synced
like watermelons through like 'this'"
-
Not Synced
Because physical strength has nothing to
-
Not Synced
do with your ability to give birth. Women
-
Not Synced
are, generally speaking, not as physically
-
Not Synced
strong as men. The average man has about
-
Not Synced
50% greater upper body strength than the
-
Not Synced
average woman. I'm sorry but that's just
-
Not Synced
simple biology. There's also the fact
-
Not Synced
that men are by in large the one's who go
-
Not Synced
to war and fight and die to protect you.
-
Not Synced
Men are the ones who work the dangerous
-
Not Synced
jobs to make your comfortable lifestyle in
-
Not Synced
the industrialized world possible.
-
Not Synced
And historically men are also the ones
-
Not Synced
who have gone out into the unforgiving
-
Not Synced
wilderness to kill dangerous animals so
-
Not Synced
ungrateful entitled women like you could
-
Not Synced
eat. You as a woman are substantially less
-
Not Synced
likely to die during your daily activities
-
Not Synced
and you don't have to worry about being
-
Not Synced
called a deadbeat for not risking life in
-
Not Synced
a factory or field for the benefit of
-
Not Synced
others. Nor do you have to worry about
-
Not Synced
being told you don't have a real job
-
Not Synced
because you work with computers or push
-
Not Synced
pencils in a safe, clean environment.
-
Not Synced
Women work soft cushy jobs compared to
-
Not Synced
men and that's why women make only 7% of
-
Not Synced
workplace fatalities despite making up 47%
-
Not Synced
of the work force. That is why you're
-
Not Synced
perceived as the weaker sex. If you
-
Not Synced
don't want people to see you that way,
-
Not Synced
then get out of your comfortable air
-
Not Synced
conditioned studio and go work on a
-
Not Synced
craving boat on a coal mine. You're
-
Not Synced
always complaining about employment
-
Not Synced
discrimination, so go ahead, take the
-
Not Synced
dirty dangerous jobs and show us all just
-
Not Synced
how strong and tough you are. And look
-
Not Synced
I don't begrudge women for working jobs
-
Not Synced
that don't put them in danger and I will
-
Not Synced
freely admit that my job isn't
-
Not Synced
particularly dangerous; but if you're
-
Not Synced
going to sit there and act like women
-
Not Synced
are stronger than men just because you can
-
Not Synced
give birth, something which you have a
-
Not Synced
0.0002 percent chance of dying from if you
-
Not Synced
live in the United States, and that's up
-
Not Synced
from 15 years ago, then you can fuck right
-
Not Synced
off. By the way passing a kidney stone
-
Not Synced
hurts more than giving birth. Any woman
-
Not Synced
who has experienced both will tell you
-
Not Synced
that, and men get them more often so
-
Not Synced
blow me.
-
Not Synced
"Why is it so bad to show your emotions?"
-
Not Synced
"It means you're human."
-
Not Synced
Maybe it's because feminists like you
-
Not Synced
tell us we're misogynists for even
-
Not Synced
daring to complain about our problems.
-
Not Synced
Since you're not a man and you don't have
-
Not Synced
even the slightest inclining of what it's
-
Not Synced
like to be a man, let me spell it out for
-
Not Synced
you. Boys are socially conditioned from
-
Not Synced
the day we learn to talk to not express
-
Not Synced
our feelings. We are [unknown] constantly
-
Not Synced
be told to man up and that boys don't cry.
-
Not Synced
We don't have the privilege of showing
-
Not Synced
our emotions because if we do, it's a sign
-
Not Synced
of weakness. To put it simply, us men are
-
Not Synced
programmed to believe that our own
-
Not Synced
feelings are invalid, and so we hide them
-
Not Synced
and we lie about them. We are raised to
-
Not Synced
expect that if we tell you our feelings,
-
Not Synced
you will shoot them down. You will tell
-
Not Synced
us we're wrong for feeling the way we do,
-
Not Synced
and even if you don't, we still don't want
-
Not Synced
to tell you our feelings because
-
Not Synced
we know you'll use them against us.
-
Not Synced
You're probably thinking that you don't do
-
Not Synced
that but you do, you do it all the time
-
Not Synced
and don't even realize it. Ask yourself if
-
Not Synced
you have ever had an argument
-
Not Synced
with one of them men in your life and
-
Not Synced
you told them "If you were a real man..."
-
Not Synced
If you ever have then you have done
-
Not Synced
exactly what I'm talking about. See no
-
Not Synced
woman has ever been told "If you're
-
Not Synced
a real woman you wouldn't feel this way"
-
Not Synced
Women have their feelings cultivated and
-
Not Synced
coddled. You're not only allowed to cry.
-
Not Synced
you are expected to, and when you do,
-
Not Synced
people around you give you sympathy and
-
Not Synced
you are comforted. You are so used to
-
Not Synced
getting sympathy that you feel entitled
-
Not Synced
to it. Men don't have that luxury. A man
-
Not Synced
fully expects to be looked down upon,
-
Not Synced
and told that his feelings don't matter if
-
Not Synced
he shows any sign of emotional weakness.
-
Not Synced
Even by the people he trusts most, because
-
Not Synced
that is what he has experienced for
-
Not Synced
his entire life, and you wonder why the
-
Not Synced
suicide rate for men is four times higher
-
Not Synced
than it is for women. I know what you're
-
Not Synced
going to say, you're going to say that
-
Not Synced
the social conditioning of men to not
-
Not Synced
show their emotions is part of the
-
Not Synced
patriarchy, and feminism is fighting to
-
Not Synced
change that. Good, what heroes you are,
-
Not Synced
let me give you a little golf clap while
-
Not Synced
you take a sip from your fucking
-
Not Synced
'Male Tears' mug while sitting in the
-
Not Synced
comfort of your safe space, where
-
Not Synced
men aren't allowed.
-
Not Synced
"Why are you always trying to prove your
-
Not Synced
masculinity?"
-
Not Synced
See my answer to the previous question.
-
Not Synced
Also wow, how egocentric are you.
-
Not Synced
You are so certain that the world
-
Not Synced
revolves around you that you believe that
-
Not Synced
when a man is acting like a man, that he
-
Not Synced
must be trying to prove something to you.
-
Not Synced
Like he couldn't possibly be acting like a
-
Not Synced
man just because he's, you know, a
-
Not Synced
fucking man. Why are you constantly trying
-
Not Synced
to prove your femininity to me? How
-
Not Synced
bout that?
-
Not Synced
"Why the fuck isn't it lady like to cuss?
-
Not Synced
When did words get gendered?"
-
Not Synced
It's also not considered gentlemen like
-
Not Synced
to curse. Swearing is generally
-
Not Synced
considered rude regardless of the gender
-
Not Synced
of the person who is doing it. Personally
-
Not Synced
I don't give a shit if you use
-
Not Synced
profanity. Go right the fuck ahead.
-
Not Synced
And when did words get genered?
-
Not Synced
I guess right around the time the
-
Not Synced
word feminist was invented, which is
-
Not Synced
at self a gendered word. I'm mean the
-
Not Synced
invention of feminism is when everything
-
Not Synced
suddenly became gendered. Like when assert
-
Not Synced
that interrupting people is somehow a
-
Not Synced
uniquely male behavior, or that only
-
Not Synced
women get told not to swear.
-
Not Synced
"Why is it your first instinct to doubt
-
Not Synced
women who have been sexually violated or
-
Not Synced
raped?"
-
Not Synced
Maybe a false rape accusation weren't
-
Not Synced
systemically encouraged by feminism,
-
Not Synced
we wouldn't have a problem. Notice how
-
Not Synced
this question is phrased, to doubt women
-
Not Synced
who have been sexually violated or raped.
-
Not Synced
The more salient question would be,
-
Not Synced
'Why do you doubt women who claim to have
-
Not Synced
been sexually violated or raped. And the
-
Not Synced
answer is because we have this thing
-
Not Synced
called the presumption of innocence.
-
Not Synced
That means a person who is accused of a
-
Not Synced
crime is innocent until proven guilty.
-
Not Synced
So it's not my first instinct to doubt,
-
Not Synced
it's my moral imperative to doubt until
-
Not Synced
evidence is forthcoming. You wouldn't put
-
Not Synced
somebody in jail just because somebody
-
Not Synced
accused them of murder nor would you put
-
Not Synced
them in jail just because somebody accused
-
Not Synced
them of theft, nor would you put them in
-
Not Synced
jail because somebody accused them of any
-
Not Synced
other crime. Why should accusations of
-
Not Synced
rape be held to a different standard? This
-
Not Synced
really isn't a difficult concept to
-
Not Synced
understand, and it both baffles me and
-
Not Synced
disturbs me how often I see feminists
-
Not Synced
failing to grasp this. For people who
-
Not Synced
claim to fight for social justice, you
-
Not Synced
really don't understand how justice works,
-
Not Synced
do you? See a man who its accused of rape,
-
Not Synced
will have his life ruined. That's not even
-
Not Synced
only if he is convicted, the mere
-
Not Synced
accusation is enough to cost him his job,
-
Not Synced
his relationships, his education and
-
Not Synced
career prospects, his home, his
-
Not Synced
reputation, and so on. If a woman wants
-
Not Synced
to ruin a man's life all she has to do is
-
Not Synced
accuse him of raping her and he will be
-
Not Synced
put through the ringer by law enforcement
-
Not Synced
and the media; and even if he is found not
-
Not Synced
guilty, the damage will have already been
-
Not Synced
done and the woman who made the false
-
Not Synced
accusation will get away scot free.
-
Not Synced
Really it astonishes me that even after
-
Not Synced
what happened at Duke and the University
-
Not Synced
of Virginia, that you're still asking
-
Not Synced
this question. Furthermore, feminists
-
Not Synced
have abused the word rape to point where
-
Not Synced
its lost all meaning. Everything is rape.
-
Not Synced
Its gotten to the point where if a woman
-
Not Synced
claims she was raped I have to wonder
-
Not Synced
if she means a guy actually forcibly put
-
Not Synced
his penis in her, or if she had
-
Not Synced
consensual sex and just decided to call it
-
Not Synced
rape when she decided she regretted it the
-
Not Synced
next morning, or if she's merely
-
Not Synced
complaining that a guy looked at her in
-
Not Synced
a way that made her feel uncomfortable.
-
Not Synced
I mean what even is rape at this point?
-
Not Synced
According to some feminists, it's rape if
-
Not Synced
a man changed positions during sex without
-
Not Synced
forewarning. It's rape if your boyfriend
-
Not Synced
breaks up with you because you cheated on
-
Not Synced
him. It's rape if you overhear somebody
-
Not Synced
calling somebody else a slut.
-
Not Synced
"I got raped, when my mother called
-
Not Synced
someone else's daughter a slut."
-
Not Synced
Really it's your own damn fault that
-
Not Synced
people are becoming increasingly reluctant
-
Not Synced
to believe rape accusations, because you
-
Not Synced
have expanded the definition so broadly,
-
Not Synced
that nobody even knows when you're really
-
Not Synced
talking about rape anymore. You did this,
-
Not Synced
you asked for it, and now you have buyers
-
Not Synced
remorse. Now let me pose a question to
-
Not Synced
you, why is it your first instinct to
-
Not Synced
doubt when a man says he was sexually
-
Not Synced
violated or raped by a woman.
-
Not Synced
"Why do you assume a woman is angry
-
Not Synced
because she's on her period?"
-
Not Synced
Because women get angry when they're on
-
Not Synced
their period. It's a scientific fact that
-
Not Synced
the hormonal changes a woman experiences
-
Not Synced
during her period cause her to become
-
Not Synced
irritable. This is called premenstrual
-
Not Synced
syndrome, or PMS. However, I don't
-
Not Synced
always assume a woman is angry because
-
Not Synced
she is on her period. If your boyfriend
-
Not Synced
thinks that, then maybe it's because
-
Not Synced
you're not being straight forward with him
-
Not Synced
and expecting him to be a mind reader.
-
Not Synced
Maybe you should try telling him why
-
Not Synced
you're angry. Ever thought about that?
-
Not Synced
Ever thought about simply telling him that
-
Not Synced
you're mad that he ate the last
-
Not Synced
Klondike bar or whatever trivial bullshit
-
Not Synced
you're getting your panties in twist over.
-
Not Synced
[mocking voice] "Awe he should just be
-
Not Synced
able to figure it out"
-
Not Synced
Yeah like you should be able to figure out
-
Not Synced
the answers to these stupid questions
-
Not Synced
you're asking.
-
Not Synced
"Why do you think women that wear makeup
-
Not Synced
are false advertising, we can say the same
-
Not Synced
thing about your dick size."
-
Not Synced
You actually answered the question
-
Not Synced
yourself. We consider it false
-
Not Synced
advertising for the same reason that you
-
Not Synced
think a man who stuffs the crotch of his
-
Not Synced
pants is false advertising. If you cover
-
Not Synced
up all your pimples and scars with makeup
-
Not Synced
you can't really be surprised when he's
-
Not Synced
taken aback upon discover that you
-
Not Synced
don't really look the way you did when you
-
Not Synced
first met. I mean wouldn't you feel like
-
Not Synced
you were lied to if you met a guy who
-
Not Synced
looked well dressed and drove a nice car,
-
Not Synced
but then you found out that he got his
-
Not Synced
clothes at goodwill, and he rented that
-
Not Synced
car with his burger king salary.
-
Not Synced
"Why isn't it weird that there's a bunch
-
Not Synced
of old white men sitting in a room,
-
Not Synced
making legislation about what I can and
-
Not Synced
can't do with my body?"
-
Not Synced
Wasn't it a room full of old white men
-
Not Synced
that decided the Roe v. Wade ruling.
-
Not Synced
You know, women have had the right to
-
Not Synced
vote for almost a hundred years now, and
-
Not Synced
polling data has found that women are more
-
Not Synced
likely to vote than men; and yet these
-
Not Synced
old white men keep getting elected.
-
Not Synced
And I see a lot of you people supporting
-
Not Synced
Bernie Sanders even though he looks pretty
-
Not Synced
fuckin old and white to me. Go figure.
-
Not Synced
Furthermore, why does it even matter that
-
Not Synced
they're white? Why does their melanin
-
Not Synced
level matter more than the merit of their
-
Not Synced
ideas? Wasn't it Martin Luther King Jr.
-
Not Synced
who once said "I have a dream that my
-
Not Synced
four little children will one day live in
-
Not Synced
a nation where they will not be judge by
-
Not Synced
the color of their skin, but by the
-
Not Synced
content of their character." For as much
-
Not Synced
as you people like to accuse other of
-
Not Synced
being racist, you sure do judge people
-
Not Synced
based on their race a lot. Oh but it's
-
Not Synced
not racism when you do it because of
-
Not Synced
power structures or some other mental
-
Not Synced
gymnastic bullshit, right? As if whether
-
Not Synced
or not the prejudice somebody is being
-
Not Synced
subjected to is institutionalized makes
-
Not Synced
any difference to them when it happens.
-
Not Synced
Fuck off. Racism is racism, regardless of
-
Not Synced
who is doing it to whom. Calling it
-
Not Synced
something other than racism doesn't
-
Not Synced
change the fact that it's fucking racism;
-
Not Synced
And the only people who think otherwise
-
Not Synced
are racist like you. This mentality that
-
Not Synced
only certain people can be racist hinges
-
Not Synced
on the categorization of people based on
-
Not Synced
their ethnicity, and the ascribing of
-
Not Synced
attributes to them such as privilege,
-
Not Synced
based on those racial categories. You
-
Not Synced
have to make judgements based on race to
-
Not Synced
make this argument work, you have to make
-
Not Synced
assumptions and generalization about their
-
Not Synced
race and origin to make those judgments.
-
Not Synced
So you have to be racist to use this
-
Not Synced
argument, how do you not see the problem
-
Not Synced
with this, how do you not see the problem
-
Not Synced
with putting people's race before the
-
Not Synced
merits of their argument and categorizing
-
Not Synced
people into a hierarchy of consideration
-
Not Synced
based on their race. How the fuck do you
-
Not Synced
expect to fight racism with racism, and
-
Not Synced
then expect people to take you seriously.
-
Not Synced
Maybe this is the reason why you think
-
Not Synced
that if somebody thinks that you're
-
Not Synced
stupid it must be because you're a woman.
-
Not Synced
You're projecting, you judge other people
-
Not Synced
based on their race and gender so you
-
Not Synced
assume other people are doing it to you.
-
Not Synced
Well I've got news for you, I don't think
-
Not Synced
you're stupid because you're a woman, I
-
Not Synced
think you're stupid because you're stupid.
-
Not Synced
Anyway I'm getting off topic, it's not
-
Not Synced
like they don't also tell me what I can't
-
Not Synced
do with my body. For example, I can't take
-
Not Synced
the palm of my hand and slap some sense
-
Not Synced
into you, without being considered
-
Not Synced
assault.
-
Not Synced
"Do you have a coochie?"
-
Not Synced
No.
-
Not Synced
"Why are straight guys so obsessed with
-
Not Synced
lesbians?"
-
Not Synced
Why are straight women so obsessed with
-
Not Synced
gay guys? Or better yet, why are women
-
Not Synced
so obsessed with lesbians? According to
-
Not Synced
Porn hub search data for 2014, the number
-
Not Synced
one thing women search for was lesbian
-
Not Synced
porn. Proportionately women look up
-
Not Synced
lesbian porn more than men do.
-
Not Synced
"How does it feel to get kicked in the
-
Not Synced
balls?"
-
Not Synced
How do you think it feels, you dumb
-
Not Synced
bitch?
-
Not Synced
"Do you ever get tired of being manly all
-
Not Synced
the time?"
-
Not Synced
Do you? You're the one that's dressed like
-
Not Synced
a lumberjack. To answer the question, no,
-
Not Synced
not really. It comes naturally to me
-
Not Synced
since I'm, you know, a man. The fact
-
Not Synced
that you're asking this question implies
-
Not Synced
that you sometimes get tired of being
-
Not Synced
feminine, so do you ever get tired of
-
Not Synced
being feminine all the time? Is that why
-
Not Synced
you're dressed like a lumberjack?
-
Not Synced
Would you like to be a man?
-
Not Synced
Well you have to pass a test first. Have
-
Not Synced
you mastered the art of manspreading?
-
Not Synced
Have you completed your forty hours of
-
Not Synced
rape training?
-
Not Synced
"Why are you so afraid of gender
-
Not Synced
equality?"
-
Not Synced
I'm not. You are. What I'm afraid of is
-
Not Synced
gender inequality. Which is what feminist
-
Not Synced
are actually pushing for. You want
-
Not Synced
examples? In 2005, Swedish Politian and
-
Not Synced
co-founder of feminist initiative,
-
Not Synced
Godrum Schyman, proposed what the media
-
Not Synced
called a man tax, which would have raised
-
Not Synced
taxes for men in Sweden. Basing it on the
-
Not Synced
idea that all men should be held
-
Not Synced
accountable for all man on women violence.
-
Not Synced
It should be noted that Schyman was
-
Not Synced
convicted of tax evasion in 2004, a
-
Not Synced
year before making this proposal.
-
Not Synced
In 2010, women's group leaders in Isreal
-
Not Synced
have unanimously opposed changes to rape
-
Not Synced
laws that would make it possible for
-
Not Synced
women to be convicted of rape. They
-
Not Synced
succeeded and now women in Israel commit
-
Not Synced
sex act on non-consenting adults or
-
Not Synced
children who are not old enough to
-
Not Synced
legally give informed consent, are not
-
Not Synced
actually being charged with rape, and are
-
Not Synced
instead charged with lesser crimes. In
-
Not Synced
2013 Indian feminists successfully
-
Not Synced
pressured the government to rewrite rape
-
Not Synced
laws in such a way that only men could be
-
Not Synced
charged with rape. In 2014, Jessica
-
Not Synced
Valenti published an article in the
-
Not Synced
Guardian advocating paying men less than
-
Not Synced
women. In 2015, York University planned to
-
Not Synced
hold an international men's day meant to
-
Not Synced
highlight issues affecting men and boys,
-
Not Synced
such as the high suicide rate, shorter
-
Not Synced
life expectancies, and struggles faced in
-
Not Synced
getting and education. It was canceled
-
Not Synced
after feminists student, staff, and alumni
-
Not Synced
protested and held a petition to ban it,
-
Not Synced
which received almost 200 signatures.
-
Not Synced
To add insult to injury, Holly Baxter
-
Not Synced
wrote a condescending article on
-
Not Synced
Independent.co.uk enlightening readers
-
Not Synced
why we don't need an international men's
-
Not Synced
day. You can claim the definition of
-
Not Synced
feminism is advocating gender equality
-
Not Synced
all you want, but actions speak louder than
-
Not Synced
words. And it's really hard to believe the
-
Not Synced
feminist movement is really a movement
-
Not Synced
for equality, when you dismiss anyone who
-
Not Synced
brings up men's issues as misogynists.
-
Not Synced
You say all men are rapists, you try to
-
Not Synced
ban men from certain place son college
-
Not Synced
campuses, you actively fight against
-
Not Synced
father's rights, undermine the
-
Not Synced
presumption of innocence when it comes
-
Not Synced
to rape accusations, and you deny
-
Not Synced
statistics about male victims of domestic
-
Not Synced
abuse. As well as protest and disrupt
-
Not Synced
conferences about male suicide.
-
Not Synced
"This is what mens' rights looks like"
-
Not Synced
"This is what mens' rights looks like"
-
Not Synced
"This is what mens' rights looks like"
-
Not Synced
All that said, why are you so afraid of
-
Not Synced
gender equality?
-
Not Synced
"Why do I deserve to be paid less
-
Not Synced
than you?"
-
Not Synced
"In what world does 77 cents
-
Not Synced
equal a dollar"
-
Not Synced
"In what world does 68 cents
-
Not Synced
equal a dollar"
-
Not Synced
"How is that fair?"
-
Not Synced
After I finished writing my answers
-
Not Synced
to all these questions, I actually
-
Not Synced
counted them and realized there are only
-
Not Synced
33 questions instead of 36.
-
Not Synced
I just naturally assumed these 4
-
Not Synced
questions are actually 1
-
Not Synced
and answer them as such, but
-
Not Synced
no. Buzzfeed actually considered
-
Not Synced
this compound question as a
-
Not Synced
bunch of separate questions, in order
-
Not Synced
to bolster their count for their
-
Not Synced
deceptive clickbaiting title. Like it
-
Not Synced
wasn't bad enough that they
-
Not Synced
are already not even really
-
Not Synced
questions. Anyway, this has been pointed
-
Not Synced
out countless times, by countless other
-
Not Synced
people, but the wage gap is bullshit.
-
Not Synced
And when I say its bullshit, I don't
-
Not Synced
mean that it doesn't exist. I mean its
-
Not Synced
bullshit because of the way its presented.
-
Not Synced
The observed wage gap is based on
-
Not Synced
comparing the average income of men to
-
Not Synced
the average income of women, without
-
Not Synced
considering any variables. Sometimes when
-
Not Synced
the wage gap is brought up, they add
-
Not Synced
that women get paid less for the same
-
Not Synced
jobs. But thats horseshit. Asking women
-
Not Synced
why they get paid less than men, is like
-
Not Synced
asking why men are more likely to die
-
Not Synced
in the workplace then woman. Its because
-
Not Synced
men and women tend to work different jobs.
-
Not Synced
And just like some jobs are more dangerous
-
Not Synced
than others, some jobs pay more than
-
Not Synced
others, and since men tend to work
-
Not Synced
higher paying jobs, such as those in STEM
-
Not Synced
fields. Men tend to make more money.And
-
Not Synced
even when you are comparing men and women
-
Not Synced
working the same jobs, there are things
-
Not Synced
which factor into why men get paid more.
-
Not Synced
Such as the fact that men are more likely
-
Not Synced
to work overtime, are more likely to ask
-
Not Synced
for raises or promotions, are less
-
Not Synced
likely to take time off, are more
-
Not Synced
competitive, are more likely to take risks
-
Not Synced
Prioritize earnings more than women.
-
Not Synced
Retire at a later age, and all these other
-
Not Synced
things which studies have found. With
-
Not Synced
all these taken into considertion
-
Not Synced
its no wonder that men get paid more.
-
Not Synced
Men work more, and really I hate to point
-
Not Synced
out this obvious bit of common sense,
-
Not Synced
but if companies could actually get away
-
Not Synced
with paying women less, don't you
-
Not Synced
think they would hire nothing but women,
-
Not Synced
to save money. Do you honestly think
-
Not Synced
that corporations are such boys clubs,
-
Not Synced
that giving advantages to men is
-
Not Synced
more important to them, then their profits
-
Not Synced
and shareholder interests. Don't be
-
Not Synced
stupid. And no, the fact that there are so
-
Not Synced
few women in STEM fields has nothing to
-
Not Synced
do with discrimination. In fact surveys
-
Not Synced
have found that there is a 2 to 1
-
Not Synced
preference for female applicants
-
Not Synced
in STEM fields over equally qualified
-
Not Synced
men. So the reason that there is so few
-
Not Synced
women in STEM fields is because few women
-
Not Synced
are interested in pursuing careers in
-
Not Synced
STEM fields. If you want more women in
-
Not Synced
STEM fields, then maybe you shouldn't
-
Not Synced
have wasted your parents money on a degree
-
Not Synced
in gender studies. And if you wish to
-
Not Synced
continue pushing the spaceless contention
-
Not Synced
that the patriarchies can keep women
-
Not Synced
out of STEM fields, then explain why the
-
Not Synced
patriarchy isn't stopping women from
-
Not Synced
dominating certain fields, such as
-
Not Synced
veterinary medicine, psychology
-
Not Synced
pharmacology, and biology. Furthermore
-
Not Synced
which is it? 77 cents to a dollar
-
Not Synced
or 68 cents? I've also heard other
-
Not Synced
feminist claim 72 cents. The fact that you
-
Not Synced
can't keep your story straight, kinda
-
Not Synced
says something about it. And I'm really
-
Not Synced
struggling to understand why you
-
Not Synced
thought including this discrepancy
-
Not Synced
in your video was a good idea.
-
Not Synced
Maybe you should have let a man proofread
-
Not Synced
it.
-
Not Synced
That was a joke, I know I have to explain
-
Not Synced
it because feminist don't understand
-
Not Synced
jokes, but it was a joke, alright.
-
Not Synced
"Why are you more intimidated by a women
-
Not Synced
who makes more money than you?
-
Not Synced
Thats awesome, more money"
-
Not Synced
I'm not. But since we're making
-
Not Synced
assumptions, why are you intimidated by
-
Not Synced
my deep, ooming, commanding,
-
Not Synced
yet sultry, baritone voice.
-
Not Synced
"Why are opinionated women seen
-
Not Synced
as bitches?"
-
Not Synced
"When opinionated men are seen as bosses"
-
Not Synced
Opinionated men aren't seen as bosses,
-
Not Synced
unless they actually are somebodies boss,
-
Not Synced
otherwise they're just called assholes.
-
Not Synced
Unless of course their opinions disagree
-
Not Synced
with you, in which case they are kicked
-
Not Synced
off their campus, banned from speaking
-
Not Synced
at events, and told to stop mansplaining.
-
Not Synced
Maybe thats why opinionated women like you
-
Not Synced
are seen as bitches.
-
Not Synced
"Why aren't you speaking up, when you
-
Not Synced
hear your male friends behind closed doors
-
Not Synced
make jokes that are offensive to women"
-
Not Synced
Because they're jokes and aren't meant
-
Not Synced
to be taken seriously.
-
Not Synced
"These people who are fucking offended by
-
Not Synced
rape jokes, don't even understand humor"
-
Not Synced
If thats not a good enough answer, then
-
Not Synced
let me ask you this, do you speak up when
-
Not Synced
your female friends, make jokes that
-
Not Synced
are offensive to men? No? Why not?
-
Not Synced
Oh because its empowering, right?
-
Not Synced
Fuck off. Also I thought you said you were
-
Not Synced
probably funnier than me. You think
-
Not Synced
of yourself as a funny women, but you
-
Not Synced
don't want people making jokes that don't
-
Not Synced
cater to your own personal taste. Stop
-
Not Synced
trying to police other peoples speech, you
-
Not Synced
empty headed bimbo.

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

Not Synced
This is despite the fact that children
-
Not Synced
are twice as likely to be abused by their
-
Not Synced
mother than they are by their father.
-
Not Synced
According to page 49 of child
-
Not Synced
maltreatment of 2013.
-
Not Synced
Published by the U.S. department of health
-
Not Synced
and human services.
-
Not Synced
Women have more social safety nets
-
Not Synced
designed for them.
-
Not Synced
Which is why they only make up 24%
-
Not Synced
of the homeless population.
-
Not Synced
This is in spite of the fact that
-
Not Synced
42% of homeless men are employed
-
Not Synced
versus only 27% of homeless women .
-
Not Synced
This is according to page 2 of
-
Not Synced
"Who is Homeless?" published by the

Not Synced
A women can get a male coworker fired from
-
Not Synced
his job simply by accusing him of sexual
-
Not Synced
harassment even without proving it.
-
Not Synced
It is so easy for a woman to get a man
-
Not Synced
fired out of malice, that it happens so
-
Not Synced
often that men are now starting to avoid
-
Not Synced
women all together in the work place
-
Not Synced
refusing to mentor or help them.
-
Not Synced
Kim Elsesser talks about this in her book
-
Not Synced
"Sex and the Office" 2015.
-
Not Synced
In California, a woman can declare a man
-
Not Synced
to be the father of her child and sue him
-
Not Synced
for child support. It is up to the man
-
Not Synced
to prove that he is not the father by
-
Not Synced
taking a DNA test and he only gets 30 days
-
Not Synced
to do so. If he doesn't do it in
-
Not Synced
this time. Then the court can declare him
-
Not Synced
responsible for the child, even if he
-
Not Synced
proves that he is not the father later.
-
Not Synced
A woman can sue a sperm donor for
-
Not Synced
child support.
-
Not Synced
A women who gets pregnant
-
Not Synced
with stolen sperm, can sue the man
-
Not Synced
she stole it from for child support.
-
Not Synced
A women who gets pregnant by raping a man
-
Not Synced
or underaged boy, can sue him for
-
Not Synced
child support. See Hermesman vs Seyer.
-
Not Synced
A woman can get an abortion in complete
-
Not Synced
disregard for the wishes of the father.
-
Not Synced
She doesn't even have to tell him she
-
Not Synced
is seeking an abortion.
-
Not Synced
A women can also sue the father
-
Not Synced
for child support if he wants nothing
-
Not Synced
to do with the child.
-
Not Synced
So basically a woman can opt out of
-
Not Synced
parenthood but a man cannot.
-
Not Synced
Domestic violence against woman
-
Not Synced
is actually taken seriously.
-
Not Synced
Men are always assumed to be the aggressor
-
Not Synced
in domestic violence cases, despite
-
Not Synced
the fact the CDC statistics
-
Not Synced
found that more than 70% of
-
Not Synced
non-reciprocated domestic violence is
-
Not Synced
perpetuated by women.
-
Not Synced
Even when a man is recognized as being a
-
Not Synced
victim of abuse, he is almost always
-
Not Synced
presumed to be at fault.
-
Not Synced
People ask,
-
Not Synced
"What did he do to piss her off?"
-
Not Synced
So let me pose a question to you.
-
Not Synced
Why are you so afraid of recognizing your
-
Not Synced
privilege. It doesn't mean you're
-
Not Synced
a bad person.
-
Not Synced
Just recognize it and do
-
Not Synced
something about it.
-
Not Synced
Or don't, I already know you won't.
