How does it feel to be the
-
same sex as Donald Trump?
-
How does it feel to be the
-
same sex as Sarah Palin?
-
How does it feel to be the
-
same sex as Michelle Bachman?
-
How does it feel to be the
-
same sex as anybody
-
you disagree with?
-
Why does it even matter
-
whether or not you're the
-
same gender as somebody else?
-
I mean, I'm also the same
-
gender as Abraham Lincoln, Einstein,
-
and the guy who introduced
-
chocolate to the Western world.
-
So what are you even getting
-
at with this question?
-
Are you trying to say Donald Trump
-
is bad, and Donald Trump
-
is a man, therefore men are bad?
-
Why do you hate rom-coms?
-
Or do you just feel like you
-
need to hate them?
-
Everybody likes The Notebook,
-
everybody likes Beyoncé.
-
It's just a fact.
-
Men hate romantic comedies
-
for the same reason you
-
hate video games with
-
over-sexualized female characters.
-
The men in these movies are
-
always willing to sacrifice
-
their careers, their dreams,
-
even their lives to win
-
the lead females' affection.
-
Now I don't have any empirical
-
data to back this up, but
-
it seems to me that
-
romantic comedies and
-
romance movies in general
-
cause women to have unrealistic
-
expectations of men and what
-
love should be like, and these
-
become the expectations
-
that men have to live up to,
-
and it's unfair.
-
Feminists like to bitch
-
about poor representation of women
-
in media intended for men
-
because they promote body issues
-
and shit like that
-
And I agree, to at least, an extent
-
But it's not any better for men
-
When we're expected to be Prince Charming,
-
ready and willing to sacrifice themselves
-
physically, mentally, and emotionally
-
And we're called selfish for daring to
-
have our own desires
-
or even misogynistic for daring to draw
-
attention to our own problems.
-
These movies appeal to the female fantasy
-
of having a night in shining armor
-
swear their entire existence to pleasing
-
them, and thus reinforce these notions
-
within their target audience of women
-
like you that you somehow deserve
-
to have your boyfriends and husbands
-
give up everything that makes them
-
who they are and basically dehumanize
-
themselves for your pleasure and
-
devote 100% of their time and energy
-
to you. The fact that some of you
-
watching this are scoffing at what I
-
just said only proves my point.
-
You have fooled yourself into thinking
-
that I'm somehow the one who's 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 write 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 woman.
-
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 realize 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"
-
"This is what mens' rights looks like"
-
"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 four questions
-
are actually one and answer them as such,
-
but no. Buzzfeed actually considered this
-
compound question as a bunch of seperate
-
questions, in order to bolster their count
-
for their deceptive, click baiting title.
-
Like it wasn't bad enough that they're
-
already not even questions. Anyway, this
-
has been pointed out countless times by
-
countless other people, but the wage gap
-
is bullshit, and when I say it's bullshit
-
I don't mean that it doesn't exist.
-
I mean it's bullshit because of the way
-
it's presented. The observed wage gap it
-
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 women
-
get paid less for the same jobs, but
-
that's horseshit. Asking women why they
-
get paid less than men is like asking why
-
men are more likely to die in the
-
workplace than women. It's 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, or more likely
-
to ask for raises or promotions, or less
-
likely to take time off, or more
-
competitive, or 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
-
this taken into consideration, it's 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 just 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 than 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 are 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 this
-
baseless contention that the patriarchy
-
is keeping 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 feminists
-
claim 72 cents. The fact that you can't
-
keep your story straight kind of 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. (whispering) that
-
was a joke. I know I have to explain it
-
because feminists don't understand jokes,
-
but it was a joke, alright.
-
"Why are you intimidated by a woman who
-
makes more money than you? That's
-
awesome! More money"
-
I'm not, but since we're making
-
assumptions, why are you intimidated
-
by my deep, booming, commanding, yet
-
sultry baritone voice.
-
"Why are opiniated women seen as bitches?"
-
"When opiniated men are seen as bosses."
-
Opiniated men aren't seen as bosses unless
-
they actually are somebody's boss.
-
Otherwise they are just called assholes.
-
Unless of course their opinions disagree
-
with you. In which case they are kicked
-
off of campus, banned from speaking at
-
events, and told to stop mansplaining.
-
Maybe that's why opiniated 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 they aren't
-
meant to be taken seriously.
-
"These people who are fucking offended by
-
rape jokes don't even understand humor."
-
If that's 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
-
it's empowering right? Fuck off. Also I
-
thought you said you were probably funnier
-
than me? You think of yourself as a funny
-
woman but you don't want people making
-
jokes that don't cater to your own
-
personal taste. Stop trying to please
-
other people's speech, you empty
-
headed bimbo. (Horn blaring)
-
"Why are you so afraid of recognizing
-
your own privilege? Doesn't mean you're a
-
bad person, just recognizing 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 pursue to talk
-
down to me in this condescending tone,
-
like it's just so obvious it's such an
-
unassailable argument. (mocking voice)
-
It doesn't mean you're a bad person.
-
But I guess being the same gender as
-
Donald Trump does. To answer your
-
question, it's because I don't have
-
privilege, I really don't, but you do.
-
I defy you name one, just one, legal
-
privilege that I have, which you don't
-
also have. Because I can think of several
-
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. See
-
misrepresentation of gender bias
-
committee of Massachusetts Supreme Court
-
by Mark B Rosenthal, this is despite
-
the fact that children are twice as
-
likely to be abused by their mother than
-
they are by their father. According to
-
page 49 of Child Maltreatment 2013
-
published by the US Department of Health
-
and Human Services. Women have more
-
social safety nets designed for them,
-
which is why they only make up 24% of
-
the homeless population. This is in spite
-
of the fact that 42% of homeless men are
-
employed, versus only 27% of homeless
-
women. This is according to page 2 of
-
"Who's Homeless" published by the National
-
Coalition for the Homeless, July 2009 and
-
page 1 of "Single Males: The Homeless
-
Majority" published by Healing Hands
-
in June 2001. Women get more lenient
-
sentences for equivalent crimes. See
-
"Estimating Gender Disparities in Federal
-
Criminal Cases" by Sonja B Starr in 2012.
-
A woman could get a male coworker fired
-
from his job simply by accusing him of
-
sexual harassment even without proving it.
-
It's so easy for a woman to get a man
-
fired at a malice, and it happens so
-
often that men are now starting to avoid
-
women all together in the workplace.
-
Refusing to mentor or help them.
-
Kim Elsesser talks about this in her book,
-
"Sex in the office" 2015. In California, a
-
woman can declare a man to be the father
-
of her child and sue him for child
-
support and it's up to the man to prove
-
he isn't the father by taking a DNA test.
-
And he only gets 30 days to do so, if he
-
doesn't do it in that time, then a court
-
can declare him responsible for the child
-
even if he proves he isn't the father
-
later. A woman can sue a sperm donner for
-
child support. A woman who gets
-
pregnant with stolen sperm, can sue the
-
man she stole it from for child support.
-
And before you argue that a man should
-
keep it in his pants so he doesn't want to
-
be a father, imagine if you heard a
-
conservative Christian arguing against
-
abortion by saying 'women should keep
-
their legs together if they don't want to
-
be mothers' I think you would lose your
-
shit. A woman who get pregnant by raping
-
a man or an underage boy can sue him for
-
child support. See Hermesmann V Seyer.
-
A woman could get an abortion in
-
complete disregard for the wishes of the
-
father, she doesn't even have to tell
-
she's seeking an abortion. A woman can
-
also sue the father for child support if
-
he wants nothing to do with the child.
-
So basically a woman can opt out of
-
parenthood but a man cannot.
-
Domestic violence against women is
-
actually taken seriously. Men are always
-
presumed to be the aggressors in
-
domestic violence cases. Despite the fact
-
that CDC statistics have found that more
-
than 70% of non reciprocated domestic
-
violence is perpetuated by women.
-
Even when a man is recognized as a being
-
a victim of domestic abuse, he is almost
-
always presumed to be at fault.
-
People ask 'What did he do to piss her
-
off?'
-
So let me pose a question to you, Why are
-
you so afraid of recognizing your
-
privilege? It doesn't mean you're a bad
-
person. Just recognize it and do something
-
about it. Or don't, I already know you
-
won't.
