Don't Be a Feminist! w/ Bryan Caplan

[@vinylrebellion]

This video deserves so many more views. It's a societal problem that rational discussion like rarely makes it to the mainstream

Right!🌷

No it doesn't. Most of us don't want to hear from these nutjobs.

[@tlewis84able]

It’s so nice to finally hear someone articulate these points. I’ve felt them my whole life but grew up in a bubble where it was heresy to even speak them.

[@kaybrown7733]

Then don't complain if no one wants to date you.

[@ChristinaChrisR]

There’s certainly much unfairness in the world. I’d really like it if we could address things that we think are unjust against men AND women, without going directly to in a generalized way bitching about how women are and how men are. In my personal life, whether it’s my female friends complaining about men or my male friends complaining about women, though they both may have a point somewhere in there, I think it’s both really tiring and not constructive. Making jokes about it though is fun, but that’s something else.☺️

[@kaybrown7733]

Imagine insulting, belittling, and being condescending to women, then saying, "Your feelings aren't valid." Gee, I wonder why sane women don't like you. 😂

[@kaybrown7733]

The definition is what it is. You simply don't like the definition because it makes you look bad.

[@synchronium24]

If the common definition is correct, then most self-identified feminists aren't real feminists and most people who don't identify as feminists are real feminists.

His views are solipsistic - just because he doesn't have a problem with e.g. a woman being a doctor, doesn't mean that this is the majority opinion. It might not even be an opinion of PC institutions - but it is an opinion of many of the folks who we run into, or who make those decisions about what their daughters will study in school. The decision as to whether a girl will be allowed to study certain topics isn't made at a med school. It's made at home by her parents when she's a child, and by the time she's an adult and has to make a living on her own, it's too late to make up for those years of missed education and to dedicate themselves to decades of study while also working to make a living at a minimum wage job, or being a full-time carer for kids. This is what most women are actually dealing with, and what's being ignored by making these solipsistic arguments that "no one's stopping them."
