00:00:00.000 Fabulous secret powers were revealed to me the day I held aloft my magic sword and said
00:00:05.340 Feminism, in fact, is about hating men, and it's been about that since day one 1.00
00:00:09.840 Today we're gonna take a look at some videos having to deal with, um, feminism
00:00:15.540 Do you think men are important? 0.99
00:00:17.160 Like, for what?
00:00:19.440 Always my favorite subject
00:00:20.820 I love nothing more than that subject, and especially watching videos of people talking about it
00:00:25.500 Uh, we'll start with clip one 0.87
00:00:26.700 This is what I mean when I say I hate men 0.85
00:00:29.740 So today at work, I was helping this couple 0.93
00:00:32.580 I was helping her
00:00:34.000 Her
00:00:35.160 It is ma'am
00:00:36.540 Find a swimsuit, okay?
00:00:38.220 Every time I was asking her what she liked and what color she liked
00:00:42.360 He would interject and be like, I like that one
00:00:46.200 That's the one that we're gonna get
00:00:48.160 No, no, that one
00:00:50.140 She needs that color 1.00
00:00:51.460 No, this is the color that I like you in
00:00:53.560 Yep, that's what we're getting
00:00:55.880 I'm sorry! 1.00
00:00:58.680 Is your junk gonna fit in an extra small bikini? 0.99
00:01:02.440 What? 1.00
00:01:02.840 I didn't f***ing think so! 1.00
00:01:04.180 Shut the f***ing up, you toxic mother f***ing! 1.00
00:01:08.020 Well, yeah, because we certainly know that women 1.00
00:01:12.280 Women would never do that, right? 1.00
00:01:14.280 A woman would never voice her opinion about what her boyfriend or husband wears 1.00
00:01:18.960 That's something women never, ever do 1.00
00:01:20.960 Hawaiian surf trunks!
00:01:22.560 Oh, Barbie! 1.00
00:01:24.220 Those were vintage!
00:01:25.200 I myself would never do that with my wife
00:01:27.500 I would never strongly interject with my opinions about what she's buying
00:01:30.580 Not because it'd be misogynistic to do so
00:01:32.760 But because I just don't care
00:01:34.100 Like, I don't have any opinions about it
00:01:36.300 And so anytime she tries to get my opinion
00:01:38.400 It goes the other way where she's trying to extract my opinion
00:01:41.100 What do you think about doing this and this and this?
00:01:43.020 What do you like more?
00:01:43.720 I don't know
00:01:44.220 I honestly don't know
00:01:45.960 I have no idea
00:01:46.920 You don't know?
00:01:47.900 I don't
00:01:48.980 I don't know what looks better
00:01:50.560 Which one is cheaper?
00:01:52.060 Buy that one
00:01:52.640 Let me see the price tags
00:01:54.220 Oh, that one actually
00:01:55.160 Second thought, that one's beautiful
00:01:56.280 That one right there is hideous
00:01:57.440 So that's how I decide everything
00:01:58.940 But can I also say
00:01:59.960 Here's what annoys me the most about the video like this
00:02:03.040 She didn't say any of that in person
00:02:05.120 Okay, so on TikTok, she's screaming 0.99
00:02:07.620 You know, screaming, mother f***ing 0.98
00:02:10.100 She certainly didn't even come close to saying it 0.98
00:02:12.920 Like, in person, I'm sure she was very timid
00:02:14.840 And she just sat there
00:02:15.640 If this even happened, first of all
00:02:16.940 If the story even happened
00:02:17.620 And then she goes home
00:02:18.760 And she rips into this guy 1.00
00:02:20.540 I can respect people
00:02:22.180 Who are overly confrontational
00:02:24.400 In person 1.00
00:02:25.620 It says 100% guaranteed, you moron 1.00
00:02:28.960 Mister, if you don't shut up 1.00
00:02:30.640 I'm gonna kick 100% of your ass 1.00
00:02:32.520 Even if I disagree with their opinion 1.00
00:02:34.900 Or whatever they're saying
00:02:36.220 That you have the boldness to just, like, speak up
00:02:38.920 In a situation where your opinion isn't needed
00:02:41.800 But the problem with all these, like, a-holes on TikTok 1.00
00:02:45.220 Is that none of them are like that in person
00:02:47.460 They're not gonna say anything
00:02:48.820 That's what gets me the most
00:02:50.480 All right, let's go to the next one
00:02:52.040 Ladies, so is there any statistical proof you can give me that women have it worse than men? 0.84
00:02:56.920 Women are 47% more likely to suffer severe injuries in car crashes because safety features are designed for men 1.00
00:03:01.340 33,000 girls become child brides every day 0.91
00:03:04.580 Women in rural parts of Africa spend 40 billion hours a year collecting water 0.94
00:03:09.580 At the rate we're going, it will take 108 years to close the gender pay gap 1.00
00:03:14.160 As of right now, only six countries give women equal legal work rights as men
00:03:18.420 And for every female film character, there are 2.24 more men
00:03:23.560 Just your friendly neighborhood feminist 0.95
00:03:27.480 Trying to knock down toxic masculinity
00:03:29.600 Doing my best
00:03:30.760 No! God, please! No!
00:03:33.720 No! No!
00:03:35.200 I mean, all that's, like, do we even have to dissect it?
00:03:38.800 Women in rural parts of Africa are carrying water 0.99
00:03:40.740 Yeah, what are the men doing in rural parts of Africa?
00:03:43.040 Three men on foot will intimidate a pride of hungry lions and push them off their kill
00:03:48.280 I will concede that being a woman in rural Africa, as someone who's been there
00:03:54.540 Is not an easy life
00:04:00.600 But what do you think, the men are just, like, hanging out in mansions?
00:04:04.500 What, are they sitting around playing video games?
00:04:06.700 No, if you live in an impoverished part of Africa
00:04:08.960 You're going to spend so much of your time, you know, in manual labor and other kinds of things
00:04:13.440 Yeah, I mean, really, you're spending your time trying to survive
00:04:15.760 100 years to close the gender pay gap
00:04:18.140 Well, that's definitely not the case, because as we talked about last week
00:04:20.900 The gender pay gap is actually one penny 0.99
00:04:23.640 Which is to say that it doesn't exist
00:04:25.820 That is, the margin of error is one penny
00:04:28.620 And so it effectively doesn't exist
00:04:30.760 But they're still trying to close it
00:04:32.280 Which means they're actually trying to open it, because they want women to, on average, make a lot more than men
00:04:37.020 As reparations for all the years of alleged patriarchal sexism and all the rest of it
00:04:42.080 Are we back on?
00:04:43.880 Well, clearly, someone in the control room forgot to turn on ExpressVPN

00:05:30.420 We live in a world that makes fun of guys who cry, but 80% of suicides are guys
00:05:35.820 Okay, this one is for dudes
00:05:37.800 And this is a perfect example why feminism is beneficial for men 1.00
00:05:41.700 So what a means is this a feminism? 1.00
00:05:44.480 All of you think feminism is hating men 1.00
00:05:46.700 It's not
00:05:48.020 You are laughing
00:05:49.040 Yeah
00:05:49.640 That is the problem
00:05:51.260 It's about taking down patriarchy and its oppressive norms
00:05:54.200 Even though men are the ones who benefit from patriarchy the most
00:05:57.780 They're still victimized to an extent
00:06:00.100 You can think of it as misogyny being a two-way street
00:06:03.280 Patriarchy tells men they shouldn't be vulnerable or show emotions
00:06:07.140 It uses misogyny to label those things as feminine things 0.70
00:06:10.940 So when men get vulnerable or emotional
00:06:13.200 They're criticized, made fun of, told to be a man, not to act like a woman 1.00
00:06:17.380 That's toxic as f*** for men 0.99
00:06:19.460 Because men end up bottling up their emotions 1.00
00:06:22.160 They have nowhere to seek help for
00:06:24.400 They don't know how to deal with these emotions
00:06:26.860 Patriarchy oppresses all of us 0.99
00:06:29.280 Some more than others, yes
00:06:31.080 But all of us
00:06:32.740 So men need to be a feminist also for their own sake 1.00
00:06:36.040 You notice with these people
00:06:37.920 Their criticisms and their observations about society have not changed at all in 40 years
00:06:43.400 And so they still tell us, you know, when a man gets emotional
00:06:46.120 He's told to stop crying and be a man
00:06:48.340 And, you know, don't act like a woman 1.00
00:06:49.800 She's fated
00:06:50.780 Ah, yes
00:06:52.100 Just like a woman 1.00
00:06:53.240 Where are men being told that anymore?
00:06:55.360 Because I want to go to that place
00:06:56.380 But I don't see that
00:06:58.060 Where is that happening? 0.74
00:06:59.420 And no, feminism, in fact, is about hating men 1.00
00:07:02.020 And it has always been in part about hating men 0.87
00:07:03.960 Because it's really about
00:07:04.980 Maybe there's a distinction to be drawn here, actually
00:07:07.560 Feminism has always been about primarily hating the institution of the family 1.00
00:07:13.340 Feminism has been anti-family 1.00
00:07:15.520 Anti-the nuclear family 0.89
00:07:16.820 And so that's the starting point
00:07:18.760 And then hating men is an extension of that
00:07:22.440 And they hate men in particular
00:07:23.740 When men are in their roles as members of the family 0.94
00:07:27.460 A father, husband, all that
00:07:28.360 So they hate men in that context
00:07:30.160 And it's been about that since day one
00:07:32.360 You go all the way back to first wave feminism 1.00
00:07:34.720 That allegedly, you still hear these stupid conservatives who say 1.00
00:07:37.380 Well, feminism has gone off the rails 1.00
00:07:39.780 But it used to be, you know, it used to be a good thing
00:07:41.900 No, go back and read what the first wave feminists wrote 1.00
00:07:44.860 And what they said
00:07:45.480 And they were very anti-family and anti-man
00:07:47.920 From the very beginning
00:07:48.660 It was always that way
00:07:49.400 On the issue of if men should be more emotional
00:07:52.160 And show their emotions more
00:07:53.640 This would have at least been a relevant criticism 40 years ago
00:07:57.020 And there may have been a time in American culture
00:08:00.960 When perhaps there was too much emphasis on stoicism for men
00:08:06.340 And men were encouraged to suppress too much
00:08:10.000 And to be, like, utterly emotionless
00:08:12.200 That's not the case at all anymore
00:08:14.180 That's not what men are encouraged to do
00:08:16.240 The issue is that men are far too encouraged to be emotional
00:08:20.740 There's almost no emphasis on stoicism when there should be
00:08:24.720 Part of being a man
00:08:26.480 And part of the service that a man can provide society
00:08:29.560 And especially his family and his marriage
00:08:31.800 Is the ability to carry burdens with silent dignity
00:08:36.060 And to carry them with strength
00:08:37.740 And to not have to always share them with people around them
00:08:41.700 Being able to carry a burden on your own silently
00:08:44.000 Society needs men to do that 1.00
00:08:46.460 Women need men to do that 1.00
00:08:48.600 Women want men to do that 1.00
00:08:50.600 But even they can't say that
00:08:52.560 Like, a woman would be condemned 1.00
00:08:53.880 If she were to say, you know, I find it kind of unattractive
00:08:57.500 When men are, like, crying and getting too emotional and stuff
00:09:00.080 I really don't want that
00:09:01.060 I want to be the emotional one
00:09:04.220 And I don't want my husband to be as emotional as I am
00:09:06.960 A woman cannot say that out loud 1.00
00:09:10.160 But that is, in fact, how most women feel 1.00
00:09:12.500 Not a relevant criticism
00:09:14.220 Also false
00:09:15.660 And so it's just wrong across the board
00:09:17.620 Which is what you always get from feminists 1.00
00:09:19.000 And, I don't know, we made it three videos in
00:09:21.200 Which is more than I thought we would do
00:09:22.400 And we'll leave it there
00:09:23.400 And I'll talk to you tomorrow
00:09:24.280 Godspeed
00:09:24.820 So I cried sometimes
00:09:26.800 And I thought when I lied to bed
00:09:28.580 Just to get it up
00:09:30.180 What's in my head
00:09:32.120 And I feel it, feel it, feel it
00:09:34.860 Thank you.
