00:00:00.000 Hey, Matt, it's time to react to TikToks.
00:00:08.340 You know, if I were to come up with a ranking of species,
00:00:11.660 I think, of course, I'd put humans at the top
00:00:14.220 and then maybe chimpanzees, elephants, dogs.
00:00:18.500 Actually, dogs would be even farther down.
00:00:20.100 And then you get to like squirrels and rats and bugs.
00:00:23.220 And then beneath that, you would finally get to male feminists. 1.00
00:00:27.000 I don't like male feminists, in other words, is what I'm trying to say. 1.00
00:00:28.780 We've watched some male feminists TikTok videos before. 1.00
00:00:31.300 And I was just thinking that I'm not depressed enough today or angry enough.
00:00:34.260 So we're going to dive in once again
00:00:36.320 and see what the male feminists of TikTok have to offer us. 1.00
00:00:39.500 So let's check this out.
00:00:40.560 When I asked men what they feared, as much as a woman feared being raped,
00:00:43.960 I had three answers show up a number of times.
00:00:45.780 Two of them I think we can dismiss and one of them seemed valid.
00:00:49.160 The first one was that men said they feared not measuring up.
00:00:52.460 But while that's a valid fear,
00:00:54.380 the pressure you put on yourself to live up to your perceived role in society
00:00:57.540 is very different than the fear a woman may have
00:00:59.680 of what a man may do to her without her consent.
00:01:03.360 Vastly different fears.
00:01:04.460 Let's put that one aside.
00:01:05.600 The second one I saw a lot of was men saying that they feared
00:01:07.940 being falsely accused of rape and having that ruin their lives.
00:01:10.620 First of all, demonstratively untrue.
00:01:12.520 Trump, Kavanaugh.
00:01:13.720 Secondly, while rape statistics are notoriously hard to pin down,
00:01:16.740 it's at least arguable that a man is more likely to be raped 0.92
00:01:19.940 than to be falsely accused of rape.
00:01:22.400 The threat is vanishingly small.
00:01:24.320 So what checks all the boxes?
00:01:26.060 What has the systemic, pervasive, the antagonism,
00:01:29.680 the realistic threats of violence?
00:01:31.980 The one that rang true to me was how black men fear the police. 1.00
00:01:36.720 Wow.
00:01:37.480 So insightful.
00:01:38.620 Okay.
00:01:38.960 First of all,
00:01:40.420 well, I love how he wants to give examples.
00:01:44.260 He wants to explain why false accusations of rape,
00:01:49.320 wants to prove why that's not a real threat.
00:01:51.160 And then he lists two guys who were falsely accused.
00:01:54.580 That would be Trump and Kavanaugh.
00:01:55.700 But before we even get to that,
00:01:57.860 what the hell kind of bizarre question is this?
00:02:00.080 How can I rank my degree of fear in a particular thing
00:02:03.520 against someone else's degree of fear in something else?
00:02:07.120 How do I even do that?
00:02:08.060 And why?
00:02:09.300 So now we're competing to see who has the most fear.
00:02:12.400 Oh, I'm more fearful than you.
00:02:13.620 See, I win.
00:02:14.900 The appropriate response to that question is what?
00:02:18.060 What the hell are you talking about?
00:02:19.460 Why are you asking me that, you weirdo?
00:02:22.720 Who are you talking to?
00:02:23.760 I also don't believe that any man was actually asked,
00:02:26.940 what do you fear as much as women fear being raped?
00:02:28.940 And answered, I fear not measuring up.
00:02:31.900 But if I were to actually engage the question,
00:02:35.640 here's something that men could fear.
00:02:37.740 I don't know, being murdered?
00:02:39.440 Because men are much more likely to be murdered than women.
00:02:42.020 You're not going to hate men.
00:02:43.600 Yes!
00:02:45.540 Men are more likely to die in car accidents too,
00:02:47.620 so you could fear car accidents.
00:02:49.340 Amen!
00:02:51.160 Yes, sir!
00:02:52.060 Men are more likely to end up homeless or in prison.
00:02:54.580 Can I get a amen?
00:02:57.400 Amen!
00:02:58.300 Amen!
00:02:59.220 Of all these fears,
00:03:00.740 the police are the least rational thing to fear,
00:03:03.140 especially for black men,
00:03:04.300 as more unarmed white men are shot by cops each year
00:03:07.240 than unarmed black men.
00:03:08.580 Ah!
00:03:09.760 But for both races,
00:03:11.020 the incidents are so vanishingly rare
00:03:12.760 that it's not worth thinking about.
00:03:14.500 That boy's good.
00:03:15.400 All right, let's continue.
00:03:17.200 Welcome to Consent 101,
00:03:19.180 where I teach grown-ass men what consent is.
00:03:22.080 A lot of you seem to think of consent
00:03:23.880 as an unbreakable trade agreement.
00:03:26.500 This is normal when patriarchy cuddles your entire life
00:03:29.540 to the point you feel entitled to someone else's body.
00:03:32.840 You think that your dick is more important
00:03:35.000 than a human person.
00:03:36.880 What may be shocking to you is that it is not.
00:03:39.680 You're not entitled to someone else's body, 0.98
00:03:41.820 your dick is not more important than a human person,
00:03:44.340 and consent is not an unbreakable trade agreement.
00:03:48.120 Once consent is given,
00:03:49.360 it can be taken away any time
00:03:50.960 that the person who gave the consent wishes.
00:03:53.620 Therefore, if a person says yes 10 times,
00:03:55.920 but no on the 11th time,
00:03:57.460 then if you continue, it is rape.
00:03:59.820 Likewise, if a person says no 10 times,
00:04:02.200 but at the end gives in and says yes,
00:04:04.240 just to shut you up, 0.60
00:04:05.420 it is at the very least sexual harassment and manipulation,
00:04:08.600 and worst case scenario, it is still rape.
00:04:10.700 If you need more elaboration,
00:04:12.620 I would be happy to give you some.
00:04:13.920 In the meanwhile, don't be a rapist.
00:04:15.480 Here we have, of course,
00:04:21.140 the male feminist's favorite pastime.
00:04:23.420 He enjoys nothing so much
00:04:24.920 as talking about how opposed he is to rape.
00:04:27.760 So there's definitely a
00:04:28.840 he doth protest too much
00:04:30.180 sort of situation happening here.
00:04:32.480 Hey guys, listen,
00:04:33.300 controversial statement here,
00:04:34.820 but I'm just gonna come out and say it.
00:04:37.080 Rape is bad.
00:04:39.000 That's like every male feminist TikTok video. 0.97
00:04:41.560 Bold stuff, chief.
00:04:42.580 There goes my hero.
00:04:45.640 No one needs the videos explaining,
00:04:47.800 well, this is rape. 1.00
00:04:48.580 Rape is bad.
00:04:49.220 Here's why rape is bad. 1.00
00:04:50.560 That's one of the main problems
00:04:52.060 with these anti-rape explainers
00:04:53.960 is that they seem to imply
00:04:55.720 that rape is the result of misunderstandings.
00:04:59.260 Every single person on earth
00:05:01.460 knows that rape is bad,
00:05:04.080 knows what rape is,
00:05:05.220 and knows how not to rape people.
00:05:06.940 Everyone knows that.
00:05:08.220 And then you'll say,
00:05:08.780 well, what do you mean?
00:05:09.600 Are you saying that there are no rapists in the world?
00:05:11.480 No, of course they're rapists. 0.99
00:05:13.080 They know that it's wrong
00:05:14.260 and they're doing it anyway.
00:05:15.740 Rape, murder, awesome, and rape. 1.00
00:05:18.080 You said rape twice.
00:05:19.500 I like rape. 1.00
00:05:20.620 What do you think?
00:05:21.120 That there are rapists out there
00:05:22.280 that are going around raping women 1.00
00:05:23.680 and they're gonna see
00:05:24.840 this male feminist TikTok video?
00:05:26.720 Don't be a rapist.
00:05:27.960 Oh, so we're not supposed to do that.
00:05:31.020 You're saying, oh, well, silly me.
00:05:33.920 He also says,
00:05:34.880 if a woman says no 10 times 0.75
00:05:36.820 and then says yes,
00:05:39.060 it's still no.
00:05:39.880 So we shouldn't take a woman at her word? 0.99
00:05:43.100 A woman can change her mind 1.00
00:05:45.120 and decide that she doesn't want to have sex, 0.98
00:05:47.320 you're saying.
00:05:47.880 I agree there.
00:05:48.760 But she can't change her mind
00:05:49.880 to decide that she does want to have sex?
00:05:51.880 Or sometimes she can,
00:05:53.180 but sometimes she can't
00:05:53.860 and it's up to you
00:05:54.760 to decide which is which?
00:05:59.940 A few decades ago,
00:06:01.180 private citizens used to be largely that.
00:06:03.380 Private.
00:06:04.120 What's changed?
00:06:04.860 Well, the internet.
00:06:05.480 Think about everything you browse,
00:06:06.700 searched for,
00:06:07.440 watched, or tweeted.
00:06:08.240 Now imagine all of that data
00:06:09.700 being crawled through,
00:06:10.900 collected, and aggregated
00:06:11.920 by third parties
00:06:12.680 into a permanent public record.
00:06:14.540 Your record.
00:06:15.400 Having your private life exposed
00:06:16.500 for others to see
00:06:17.400 was once something
00:06:18.280 only celebrities worried about.
00:06:20.200 But in an era
00:06:20.860 where everybody is online,
00:06:22.180 everyone is a public figure.
00:06:23.420 We're all kind of celebrities
00:06:24.280 in our own right.
00:06:25.100 To keep my data private,
00:06:26.120 then I go online.
00:06:27.320 I turn to ExpressVPN.
00:06:28.860 Every time I turn
00:06:30.140 the ExpressVPN on,
00:06:31.240 I'm given a random IP address
00:06:32.760 shared by other
00:06:34.020 ExpressVPN customers.
00:06:35.200 That makes it more difficult
00:06:35.880 for third parties
00:06:36.540 to identify me
00:06:37.820 and harvest my data.
00:06:39.420 The best part is how easy
00:06:40.660 ExpressVPN is to use.
00:06:42.220 No matter what device you're on,
00:06:43.880 whether it's a phone,
00:06:44.880 laptop, smart TV,
00:06:45.720 whatever it is,

00:06:47.040 is tap one button

00:07:06.900 Men fear 1.00
00:07:07.860 that women will laugh at them.
00:07:09.820 Women fear 1.00
00:07:10.340 that men will kill them. 0.70
00:07:12.020 And this is why men,
00:07:13.440 especially straight,
00:07:15.200 cisgendered white men,
00:07:16.780 are so incredibly fragile.
00:07:19.500 Historically speaking,
00:07:20.680 in patriarchal systems,
00:07:22.120 when women piss off men, 1.00
00:07:23.720 they are putting themselves
00:07:25.040 in life-threatening danger,
00:07:27.040 which leads to women 1.00
00:07:27.840 having to tone police themselves
00:07:29.320 as a defense mechanism.
00:07:30.440 Consciously or otherwise,
00:07:32.400 women go out of their way 1.00
00:07:33.880 to either withhold
00:07:35.060 criticism from men
00:07:36.540 or to deliver it
00:07:37.980 as gently as possible,
00:07:40.040 which results in
00:07:40.780 an entire society of men
00:07:42.880 that don't even realize
00:07:44.180 that they expect
00:07:45.160 to be coddled
00:07:46.080 by the women in their lives.
00:07:47.440 And so when rightly receiving
00:07:48.840 criticism or anger from women,
00:07:50.820 men tend to react like toddlers.
00:07:53.240 So gentlemen,
00:07:54.420 shut up, 0.92
00:07:55.740 toughen up,
00:07:56.320 and listen to
00:07:57.520 and acknowledge
00:07:58.400 the reality
00:07:59.140 of the lived experience
00:08:00.240 of women
00:08:00.660 because it shouldn't take
00:08:02.160 a straight-passing,
00:08:03.340 cisgendered white man
00:08:04.780 telling you this
00:08:05.720 for you to listen.
00:08:08.820 Straight-passing?
00:08:10.820 Buddy, you're about
00:08:11.840 as straight-passing
00:08:12.740 as a circle, okay?
00:08:14.160 Ha! 0.89
00:08:15.220 Got him!
00:08:16.260 Ha! 0.89
00:08:16.840 You pass for straight
00:08:17.680 about as much as I pass
00:08:18.600 for a 19-year-old
00:08:20.520 black lesbian.
00:08:21.860 That's all I'm gonna say
00:08:23.140 about that.
00:08:23.440 Let's just keep going.
00:08:24.040 Okay, so that was brave.
00:08:35.760 That was another brave
00:08:36.440 and bold one.
00:08:37.400 Me too.
00:08:37.880 I am also opposed
00:08:39.100 to that bad thing.
00:08:40.620 I also don't like
00:08:41.920 bad things, ladies. 1.00
00:08:44.640 Someone give me a cookie. 0.86
00:08:46.800 By the way,
00:08:47.360 is sexualization,
00:08:49.140 is that a bad thing
00:08:50.320 or not now?
00:08:51.180 Because I'm confused.
00:08:51.940 Isn't it empowering
00:08:53.000 for a woman
00:08:53.620 to use her sexuality 0.84
00:08:54.640 in that way?
00:08:55.480 Or is it only empowering
00:08:56.500 when she does it
00:08:57.080 on OnlyFans?
00:08:58.220 Or Pornhub?
00:09:01.960 I mean, the woman
00:09:02.820 who had her legs spread 1.00
00:09:04.120 for the hamburger advertisement
00:09:05.720 or whatever it was,
00:09:06.600 she wasn't there
00:09:07.420 against her will.
00:09:08.600 The hamburger people,
00:09:09.580 they didn't have a gun
00:09:10.020 to her head. 0.82
00:09:11.000 She chose to do that.
00:09:12.040 And isn't that empowering
00:09:13.120 for her to make
00:09:13.980 that choice for herself?
00:09:15.540 And what I know for sure
00:09:16.660 is that if this had been
00:09:17.620 a video defending
00:09:18.860 sexualized advertisements
00:09:20.940 as empowering for women,
00:09:23.420 that same doofus
00:09:24.340 on the right
00:09:24.840 would have still been there
00:09:25.820 with his hand raised
00:09:26.760 saying, I agree.
00:09:28.360 Because it doesn't matter
00:09:28.900 what's being said,
00:09:29.540 he's still going to have
00:09:30.060 his hand raised
00:09:30.500 saying he agrees.
00:09:31.560 Tell me about the time
00:09:32.360 when you realized
00:09:33.060 that the bar is super low
00:09:34.040 for men.
00:09:34.480 I've known this for a while,
00:09:35.700 but a good example
00:09:36.300 of this happened
00:09:36.880 a couple days ago.
00:09:37.820 I was with one of my
00:09:38.540 best female friends.
00:09:39.800 I won't tell you her name
00:09:40.640 because privacy,
00:09:41.540 but she told me
00:09:42.300 that when she first met me,
00:09:44.160 I made her super uncomfortable
00:09:45.460 in a predatory,
00:09:46.940 assaulty sort of way.
00:09:48.320 Well, I immediately
00:09:48.940 started freaking out.
00:09:50.040 I was like, yo, tell me what I did
00:09:51.180 so that I can never do that
00:09:52.100 to anyone ever again.
00:09:53.820 And she said, no, no, no, no, no.
00:09:55.240 It's nothing you did.
00:09:57.200 You have nothing
00:09:58.100 to apologize for.
00:10:00.060 And she would go on
00:10:01.320 to tell me that
00:10:02.060 the fact I treated her
00:10:03.940 with decency, respect,
00:10:05.520 and like a person
00:10:06.500 was off-putting
00:10:07.820 because she thought,
00:10:08.780 oh, he just wants
00:10:09.640 to get in my pants.
00:10:10.900 She told me that
00:10:11.840 she only let her guard down
00:10:13.340 around me
00:10:13.960 when she found out
00:10:14.920 I was dating someone else
00:10:16.140 at the time.
00:10:16.740 The fact that
00:10:18.180 this guy is trying
00:10:19.380 to manipulate me
00:10:20.240 into sex
00:10:20.920 seemed more likely
00:10:22.060 than this guy
00:10:23.160 is a good person
00:10:24.280 is sad.
00:10:25.940 Lots of things
00:10:26.600 are sad about that.
00:10:27.560 I mean, you know,
00:10:28.360 but you know what?
00:10:28.860 I take it all back.
00:10:30.060 Everything I said
00:10:30.520 about male feminists,
00:10:31.300 they're not a bunch
00:10:31.860 of dickless weasels, 0.87
00:10:33.300 it turns out.
00:10:34.000 They're heroes.
00:10:35.280 I mean, this guy
00:10:35.800 recorded a whole video
00:10:36.740 to tell us about the time
00:10:38.080 that he was so nice
00:10:39.340 and gentlemanly
00:10:40.020 and respectful
00:10:40.580 of a woman
00:10:41.560 that she assumed
00:10:42.880 he was a rapist.
00:10:44.560 I'm such a nice guy
00:10:45.400 that women think 1.00
00:10:45.900 I'm going to rape them 1.00
00:10:46.760 is what he's saying.
00:10:49.960 Because that makes
00:10:50.680 a lot of sense,
00:10:51.260 doesn't it?
00:10:52.220 By the way,
00:10:52.640 if the story
00:10:53.380 is even true, 0.73
00:10:54.580 which probably isn't,
00:10:56.380 isn't this a story
00:10:57.220 about a cynical,
00:10:58.380 self-obsessed woman
00:10:59.300 who assumes
00:10:59.980 that everyone around her
00:11:01.100 is trying to sleep with her?
00:11:04.040 Is his friend AOC,
00:11:05.400 by the way?
00:11:06.600 Yeah.
00:11:07.560 Yeah.
00:11:08.380 You thought you were
00:11:08.980 going to be raped?
00:11:09.580 Yeah.
00:11:10.460 All right, we'll try.
00:11:11.260 I can only endure one more,
00:11:12.620 so let's continue.
00:11:14.280 Men fear that women 0.65
00:11:16.440 No, not this guy again.
00:11:17.380 Shut up. 0.95
00:11:18.480 All right.
00:11:19.080 Because let's be honest,
00:11:20.000 feminism has left men behind. 1.00
00:11:22.260 No.
00:11:23.260 That is factually inaccurate.
00:11:25.960 The very things
00:11:26.760 you describe in your video
00:11:28.300 as feminism for men 0.73
00:11:30.080 are things that feminism 1.00
00:11:32.100 have enabled men to do.
00:11:34.720 Only feminism 1.00
00:11:36.020 has allowed men
00:11:37.260 to create the spaces
00:11:38.680 where they can behave
00:11:40.280 as they want to
00:11:41.600 without fear of retribution.
00:11:42.980 We benefit
00:11:45.060 from feminism
00:11:46.100 every day.
00:11:48.020 We benefit
00:11:48.860 from feminism
00:11:49.640 more than women do. 1.00
00:11:55.200 I'm not even sure
00:11:56.020 what he was trying
00:11:56.420 to say there.
00:11:59.080 I honestly don't know.
00:12:00.140 But in fairness,
00:12:01.000 that video probably
00:12:01.940 didn't really belong
00:12:02.540 in this compilation anyway
00:12:03.540 because we're talking
00:12:04.420 about male feminists,
00:12:05.660 which would seem
00:12:06.200 to exclude anybody
00:12:06.900 with purple hair.
00:12:07.960 So that probably,
00:12:08.580 we shouldn't have put
00:12:09.180 that video there at all.
00:12:10.160 And I was going
00:12:14.440 to keep going,
00:12:14.900 but I honestly can't.
00:12:15.940 I'm nauseated.
00:12:17.140 So that's it.
00:12:19.200 Don't be a rapist.
