Odd that feminists never say anything about the extreme misogyny of 1slam. Like all lefties that cower when any real danger shows up. If feminists think they are not seen as infidels to be dealt with they are beyond delusional. Feminism was always about destroying the western world not woman's rights. Islam has misogyny built in that the western world has never experienced.Islam does not give a rats about white female privilege no matter the socioeconomic status or class. You have been played ladies.

[@theguynextdoor4978]

Great speech. A lot of extreme feminism is about vengeance and enforcing a matriarchy. Equality means equality. Superiority and wanting to bring men down are not the core values of equality. It's not fair to seek vengeance on a whole gender, play oppression Olympics, and calling any man who disagree with this form of extremism an incel, and misogynist. There are countries in the world where patriarchy is very much alive, but women have it pretty darn good in much of the west.

Equality of opportunity not equality of outcome. You'd be surprised how many women I've said this to have a problem with it in principal. They either don't understand it or they want everything to be given to them on a plate.

[@edwardso8903]

Maybe the average iq in the US just Low. I think it's below 100. But the brainwash strong there though. I mean it's kind of like religion or politics. When the belief intersects with their feelings, they most likely won't reflect and agree with logic.

[@Luna-ux9by]

Of course outcome shouldn't be given on a plate, but outcome absolutely matters. If women, men or any group are getting a worse outcome then it needs to be adressed. For example, male suicide rates are a lot higher, despite men and women having equal rights and access to psychological/psychiatric help ( and DESPITE the fact women's troubles tend to be dismissed as irrational, overall health not taken seriously, look it up). Nevertheless, isn't men's outcome concering? Similar to women having worse outcomes in other areas.

Something seems a bit odd about the facts that women have earned more Bachelor's degrees than men for 30 years and yet occupy only 7% of top management positions. Can lack of ambition explain this huge discrepancy? Or perhaps the discrepancy is a sign that the deck is severely stacked against women, and they are responding to this by getting degrees in greater numbers.

[@hannahsonix469]

But 87% of homeless in UK (Office for national statistics 2018) are men and 94% of all work place deaths are male (USA figure around 5000 per year).... see no point throwing out different stats about different things....0.0001% of people are in top management positions, the break down of male and female is independant of bachelor degrees or other things

Bad degrees. Can't do much with a degree in women's studies. And I know lots who end up staying home after having a family. The deck isn't stacked against women. If they want, they can rise in the ranks. If they embrace victimhood, they always have an excuse. Excuses get you nowhere. After I had my kids, work wasn't as important. I'm a manager now, but not sure I really want to be due to time commitments and kids activities. I like the pay though.

[@PricelessBinkey1337]

There are some 150 generally more degrees for women than men, many of them, like gender studies, is highly irrelevant and pretty unapplicable to most of society. College has, as an institution, taken advantage of a mindset that is nothing more than a bunch of women being duped by salesmen.

Kids sont bring happiness if you are broke , because being broke makes any problème much worse

[@Luna-ux9by]

You are speaking propaganda. Women don't need children to be happy. Of course I respect everyone's choice and I understand why parenthood is meaning of life to many people, but you are dead wrong if you say women NEED to sacrifice their carees, hobbies and everything that previously made them happy for children because it's what they are SUPPOSED to do. If a woman has kids its fine. If a woman doesn't have kids its also fine. Both choices are VALID. And some women are legitimately miserable being mothers and were never meant to be mother, but found out when it was too late. Women need to be informed of the decision theyre making, the risks of pregnancy, childbirth, post partum depression, sacrificing your life for another life.

More women are likely to suffer from domestic violence which is also due to toxic masculinity, toxic masculinity comes from the patriarchy and what is trying to stop the patriarchy? Feminism.

Let's here talk about it when women are being drafted for war.

[@fresh_hell]

Several issues of logic and content here. 1) Many times more women die from domestic violence than men in the world. This is an indisputable statistical fact. Does this mean feminists go around calling all women -in general -victims? No. 2) One of the pillars of feminism is that women are overly sexualized and objectified. This lecture confuses a cultural issue or the influence of Hollywood for feminism. Uneducated Hollywood celebrities and behavioural trends in young women are obviously no source for what is modern feminism. Are there problems with modern feminism? Yes. But this talk did a bad job of addressing them.

[@reemthememe]

I totally agree, she had some great points towards the end but a lot of confusion and generalisation.

[@denisemewbourne6976]

This statement is a great example of exactly the mindset she was addressing, with her challenge to feminists who position women as uniquely victimized more so than men. Sure, many times more women die from domestic violence. But on the other hand, exponentially more men die from war than women. Many many times more men are incarcerated. Something like 92% of all workplace injuries and deaths are of men. The majority of homeless people are men. So to her point, unfortunately, there is plenty of pain and suffering to go around and women need to stop making a unique claim to it.

[@fresh_hell]

@@denisemewbourne6976 You are comparing apples to oranges. Men commit more crime, particularly violent crime, that is why more are in jail. Men traditionally chose riskier (better paid) professions. Men volunteer to go into the military in the West. These are choices, sometimes on a societal level. None of these things does anything to refute my criticism of this video. In fact, it goes to show how desperate some people are to deny how male violence is still a huge problem.

The simple fact that more boys are born than girls, yet in the West, by the age of 40, there are more women than men. Why? Because men are much more likely to die from crime or suicide or accidents on building sights, or as police, firefighters and men in the armed forces. Girls are better educated because we have gone from 60% female teachers in 1974 to 96% female teachers in 2019. Education has been feminized, with the lack of male teachers and lack of fathers involvement in their kids, young boys are adrift.
