@@PalomaDreams17 Ok, I don't really want to defend Davis here, but Davis arm wrestling a female wrestler isn't a very good comparison.

It isn't fair to compare him to a strong woman with the dedication to become physically powerful! Oh wait...

[@devinodriscoll]

Dave also seems to have a fundamental misunderstanding of combat and fighting in the way he just casually dismissed Black Widow (who mostly uses judo and BJJ which are designed to work AROUND brute force) or strong women in general. It goes without saying that writing a shitty movie with shallow themes of social justice or empowerment to a minority for a easy profit is bad. But to dismiss women as incapable of fighting competently is such a disrespect to fighters. It underplays the strength that each discipline builds through strenuous work. Even women Muay Thai fighters are expected to chop down trees with their legs. Davis does not have the balls to step into the Octagon with anyone, especially not a Rose Namajunas or a Holly Holm.

Yeah this shit is pretty funny to watch as a 125lb woman who is not a professional athlete of any kind and is stronger than most men. (Not to mention started my own business and work a physically dangerous job lol). Even looking at pure physical strength (combat skill is dependent on many additional factors), most men don't weight train, and most people, regardless of sex, can double or treble their untrained muscle strength in only a year or two of training. Most of the difference in strength comes from size- a guy who's stronger than 95% of women the same weight as him would be stronger than 80% of men that weight.

Also the idea of blue being masculine and pink feminine is a recent western invention. Only a hundred years ago pink, which is offset of fiery, strong and passionate red was seen as masculine but blue the serene, calm and life giving colour was seen as feminine. Purple was just a difficult colour to get ahold of so only the wealthiest and most powerful (i.e., royalty) had purple.

Woman who didn't put effort and care into a movie that didn't give effort or care. The movie was made to make money, and only that, not entertain or tell a good story, but money pure and simple. The actors are decent and could be good but the roles they played were stale boring and stiff, Personally I know much about the actors but the roles were forced, and the actors didn't seem too into it, or allowed be give their own charisma. Melissa McCarthy for example seemed like she was working straight off of what some executive told the director. In the original ghostbusters other then Ernie Hudson who due to racist executives cutting his role, The cast was given a lot of room to be themselves and they really wanted to make a good, yet fun movie. The movie was meant to be fun, 2016 Ghostbusters was meant to play on the "feminine power", and make money, but it backfired.

Barbe-Nicole Ponsardin was a young woman whose husband died early in their marriage, took on a business that was going to be dissolved, actually went through an apprenticeship to prove that she was worthy to take on the business, and took numerous strategic steps and gambles to lead a business that today we call Veuve Clicquot (which translates to “The Widow Clicquot”, as she was a widow).

The whole "psychological ancestry" is so hilarious. Pre-historic humans were mostly hunter-gatherers. Everyone worked to find food to ensure survival, and everyone helped to look after the children, to ensure the next generation would grow up (yes, that means men looked after children that weren't their own, the cucks). The whole concept of "man works, womz take care of kids" wasn't much of a thing until the industrial revolution, where it was commonplace for a sole person to provide the income for the family. Just all my whats.

[@paulwalsh2220]

Davis' whole explanation on how men and women acted in pre-historic times is such ridiculous bullshit that even I, a fucking idiot with basically no in-depth knowledge of the time period can easily spot a *massive* flaw with his idea. That flaw being: How could a species that evolved in such a way that one-half of the species would take stupid risks that they couldn't possibly handle just to impress the other half, and said other half did almost nothing all day, possibly survive for so long? *Why* would a species *ever* evolve like that?

[@Herschel1738]

Research on hunter-gatherer societies discovered since the 1700's and Paleolithic settlements estimates that about 80% of the caloric intake was from gathered food. Gathered food included plants, insects, small animals (squirrels, rats) & reptiles, inshore seafood (fish, crabs, clams). Probably everyone in the tribe did this. Have you ever seen a documentary in which an aboriginal man is scrounging around the landscape for food? The knowledge of where to find food was probably a critical survival skill for everyone. And while the menfolk were out in the wild, risking their lives in the hunt for big game, the womenfolk were out in the wild risking their lives to gather food. Why would you think that the woods/plains that the women gathered in was any less dangerous than the woods/plains that the men hunted in?

"Strength" (also translated "Fortitude") is the 8th card of the Tarot Major Arcana. As with most Tarot cards it is believed to originate around the 1360's. The most common artwork of the Strength card is a woman and a male lion. The lion walks alongside and below the woman's arm, this king of the jungle clearly subservient to the woman. The woman has not overpowered the lion, she has not hunted it down and throttled it into submission. She has simply calmed it. The lion submits to her calm character, to her discipline. And through all this, the card declares her "Strong". Even the fucking medieval period could understand this, _David_

A good mom is something I agree with can not be underestimated, but I also find it sexist to assume that dads aren't also strong people, especially single fathers who already feel like the world judges them because the kids don't have a mom, as well as the assumption that all mothers are good just because they are mothers. Him getting an asskicking is more than likely what caused him to be whom he is and his insecurity. There is a plethora of evidence that shows that spanking is just abuse and doesn't even work for the goal of correcting bad behavior, especially when used out of aggression. It's also illegal in many countries, but persists in the USA because of a completely mistranslated religious text "Spare the rod, spoil the child" when from what scholars who know Hebrew and understand the language in translation have said that sparing the rod meant guidance, not the literal rod to beat children with as so many seem to take it. What's shittier is people will read this and instinctually deny it because they were probably spanked and realizing that they were abused, even if its through good intent, IE the parent believes what they were doing was best, and it's how they were raised etc etc just perpetuates the cycle of abuse and in creating people like Davis.

Chances of death were pretty high then so as long as there were women there was at least some chance of continuity of the tribe. Women also contributed to child rearing and other chores also needed. It was pretty primitive because they were primitive. To bring that setup as the ultimate end goal of roles to today's society is laughable at best.

Hunting more dangerous ones could cause death or injury, so small games such as fish, rabbits etc were eaten more, with which women could have also helped. Moreover fruits were available in many regions after the populations spread out. Keeping livestock also started especially in the east because milk of cow or goat could save from starvation and if the worst came the animal could be eaten.

man, he would hate my boss, a woman who started a business where most of the employees are female hm edit: is Davis okay? he seems like he's depressed

[@pianoaddict772]

I can't imagine being okay with all that projected self hatred

[@hello-jy9hf]

@@pianoaddict772 yup, he needs a therapist :)

[@flaming6]

@@hello-jy9hf But therapy is womanly, so not only will he not go, but he could never listen to a therapist, either. I wonder what he thinks of Canadian Kermit.

[@vixxcelacea2778]

I agree. The insecurity he shows is to a level that almost ALMOST seems to border some self-awareness, but in defense he ignores it, shuts it down. While we're all having a good laugh at it all, it's also that it would be just plain sad and infuriating if we couldn't giggle at the absurdity and illogic in the way he presents his arguments and thought processes.

[@akiraxdeidara]

"four friends putting together a small business" "cautious women who would rather achieve a stable income on etsy" this is hilarious because running an etsy store is a small business

[@itsyaboinadia]

yeah and ive never thought of etsy as "stable"

[@EmeraldLavigne]

No it's not it's giiiiiiiiiiiiiiirlstuff

[@Geospasmic]

So Aurini doesn't know anything at all about film does he. I'm no film student but I do know that he totally doesn't know the definition of "strong character", apparently not even knowing that's a real story writing term.

[@indiciaobscure]

I don't think you have to know anything about film to grasp that. When someone says 'My mother is a strong woman,' does anyone really imagine her bench pressing? No, they imagine she's been through a lot and handled it. I almost don't believe he can be that stupid, but it's either that or he's being purposely obtuse and hoping no one will notice.

[@Geospasmic]

Yeah, but the most obvious answer can be the least obvious to somebody with such low emotional intelligence. I thought he might at least get the definition of the term correct,. *slaps self*

[@agirlwithdreams15]

Geospasmic to be fair he does have a point that "strong" is used differently on women than men. we assume for men its physical, and for women its emotional. we need to change that.

[@oldschool3424]

I love how he talks about men being stronger than woman, while every single woman on the planet could beat the shit out of him

[@chazlot]

Not only could, but probably should

[@trekkiejunk]

Soooo....the 2016 Ghostbusters really sucked. It sucked hard. But not because they were women. In fact, the cast was great, and it was a cool spin to make an all-woman Ghostbusters. But it sucked because it wasn't funny. And the script was bad. And the dialogue was largely spontaneous instead of writing good jokes. And the overly-obvious use of product placement. That said, Paul Feig gave us Freaks and Geeks. So, even though he failed here, he is definitely talented.

[@ClaudiaNW]

I couldn't disagree more. I loved it, and actually preferred it to the original (which I also liked). I'm autistic, and the script felt almost tailor-made for my sense of humour.

[@Elmo9001]

I was legitimately amazed the first time I saw the new Ghostbusters trailer, because I only watched it out of curiosity a few days ago, long after everyone else declared the trailer to be the worst thing ever and the cause of at least seventeen different types of venereal disease. It was nothing special, but absolutely not worth the backlash. It's like finding out that all these MRAs and angry man-children are getting upset over a picture of a dog. Like... how? How are people forcing themselves to pretend to be outraged over this? Bah! Also, good video.

[@SpukiTheLoveKitten75]

I thought it looked fun in an overly-campy way.

[@Redem10]

Good stuff but by ths point poking fun at Davis Aurini is like shooting fish in a barrel Also Kane was better than Davis Aurini

[@casersatz]

Yeah. I'd hate for this to develop into a Thunderf00t/Sarkeesian type of fixation, but we still would need to have about 40 more videos before that becomes a problem.

[@Redem10]

I don't know for you but I thought Kane shooting Seth was hillarious ;)

[@OblivionOtaku]

That was the first thing I thought when I just saw this guy, I didn't know him before. "Yup, that Davis guy just looks like Kane." But Kane is the superior character in every way. Kane has ideology, charisma, makes great speeches...even if you hate him; you wanna know about him, his story, his endgoals. Whereas Davis...after this video, I don't want to know more about him.

[@ScottJohnHarrison]

Kane was subjectively funnier - Davis is just the object of humour and mostly if you are a straight passing guy. otherwise it is just too scary to be funny.

[@rollertoasteur]

Davis looks like some sort of bizarro-world nostalgia critic

[@kentuckyfriedclegane1088]

Rovann when I first saw him I thought he looked like evil Cinema snob

[@thescopedogable]

Rovann cnc.wikia.com/wiki/Kane

[@TheBonkleFox]

Nostalgia critic is the bizzarro world nostalgia critic

[@alexernst9448]

It angers me when people compare Davis to Kane. Kane never said anything bigoted. Kane was a practical genius. Kane had personality.

[@emptyaccount9821]

“That wasn’t a threat that was a metaphor.” Is one of the best lines I have ever heard.

[@asmallnotch]

so this director has a warped view of masculinity because his father was always working. but is that not what men are supposed to be doing. women raise children, including male children right?

[@BrightesteFaeri]

the two genders: ghostbusters and etsy

[@redhydra2871]

omg we have the same name

[@IamSpacedad]

'physical strength is one of the defining characteristics of masculinity' ~MRA 'alpha male' speaking with a serious lisp

[@madisonstoner7405]

"physical strength is the defining trait of masculinity" -a man who looks like a piece of uncooked spaghetti

[@mirdala5231]

I am surprised. I honestly thought that Davis Aurini would be suggesting women were bad at science and couldn't be nerds (or something along those lines). Nice to see it was even more ridiculous.

[@puffy7341]

and so god says to adam WHEN THERES SOMETHING STRANGE IN THE NEIGHBOORHOOD WHO YA GONNA CALL GHOST BUSTERS

[@damapan]

And then god told eve to start an Etsy store

[@DomTarason]

Aurini's reasoning is so tortured that I keep having to pause this video, catch my breath and look away. I've seen Saw movies with less brutal, pointless abuse than this. Please, someone write up a restraining order that keeps him at least a hundred feet away from... words, I guess?

[@ToruKun1]

Crystal skull vodka....created by Dan Aykroyd of Ghostbusters fame...used to make fun of Mr. Skull Man Davis Aurini....there's so many levels to this shit

I want gender reveal parties that instead of pink and blue they have a “ghostbusters/Etsy” theme

He says black widow is given superhuman powers by the director when she is canonically enhanced by a super serum imitating captian America's one.
