Feminism IS about equality, there are however many people who claim to be feminists who ruin the reputation of feminism because they only care about women. (and sometimes non-binary genders) I understand why these so-called feminsts are hated on, but please, some of us actually believe in gender equality, also when it is men who are at a disadvantage.
Women who stay in abusive relationships are doing it because they have no way out! They have often have no choice. In some cases it there is a very serious risk of death.
I wouldn't say men are disgusted by periods, they just freak out because it's a thing that doesn't happen to them, so they don't really understand how they can help much, but they still try, I've never really heard a guy say menstruation is "disgusting" or "grotesque"
lingloo ACTUALLY you SHOULD be disgusted by periods. It's literally blood and globs gushing out of our vaginas. I'm a woman who gets one every month and I'm fucking disgusted by it. It's a lot going on. I'd be more worried if there are men who AREN'T grossed out by periods at least a little. Don't let feminazi's who drink Satan's blood for breakfast tell you otherwise.
Jewel Kitty lol well yeah it is pretty nasty but it's a natural thing that happens that we cant avoid, I'm only 13 and just started having them only 3 years ago but I've gotten over how bad it can seem, I see where you're coming from though.
papa eggo honestly as an 18 year old female, I am equally amazed as I am terrified by what our bodies can do. Thinking about giving birth to children makes me sick to my stomach. Although I'm fine with having a period, I'd see why men are uncomfortable with the idea. It's a crazy fuckin thing, shedding an entire uterine lining in less than a week. Some women have a heavier blood flow than others do and have different symptoms. Some men don't know the specifics of periods but most of the time it's not their fault since the sex education is so faulty in America.
Men sometimes rag on [pun] women for having periods in a teasing way. But every grown man fully understands what menstruation is about. While not too many would describe the event as "pleasant," the meme is predictably exaggerating reality. Feminists making much more of the matter than men do
Blair, I hate to be this guy, but as a straight, Cis gender male, I would not only date you, but treat you like the lady you are. Ok, I'm done creeping. Thanks for the great videos
all -isms in have some noble goal in the beginning. They fight FOR something good (equality, for example). But then one the initial goals are reached the -ism will go further and will start to fight AGAINST something. This is what happened with feminism too.
I think criticizing extremists in movements is important, however, it's important to recognize that there are a lot of people who labels themselves feminists but aren't radical - as in, they support "equality of BOTH sexes" - something all people should agree with, that the genders are equal. I also think it's important to not label issues are irrelevant because of extremists and "feminazi's". Women are still oppressed by laws in many countries around the world, and even in developed countries they still face issues. (Not erasing the fact that men face gender related issues too.)
I totally agree, I consider myself a feminist because even among all the radicalism there’s still a good amount of feminists who are totally normal nice people and talk about issues that affect me as a women
Yes thank you. Even among all the crazies I know personally and have seen some online, feminists who are completely nice and normal people, and talk about issues that affect women that I relate to.
In my opinion Leia and Han were both a totally adorable couple and I really could imagine them to be together. They both aged with grace and none of them lost their charisma and I totally wanted them to be happy together QQ it is not about how youthfully you look when aged, but how relaxed and graceful you behave
+Argentarii Homini Ford kept himself in shape whereas Fisher didn't. She looks better in 'Episode VII' than she has in years because the role forced her to diet and exercise. As a result, I think she's attractive for her age in the new film.
Ford looks a little jowly in that pic to me. His skin is definitely sagging. Of course he's in his 70s so all things considered, he's doing as well as can be expected.
Yeah I don't get that either. "Only men are Allowed to age!" And then they show a picture of an old man And an old woman. Like do we just assume that she was arrested immediately after that picture was taken for being old?
On the abusive relationship meme, there are a lot of women who absolutely have no way out. In my first marriage, I was locked in a closet 22 hours a day and had no access to phone, transportation, running away or otherwise because he didn't ever leave my side. A lot of women are literally unable to leave and or are threatened on a regular basis.
I'm so sorry this happened to you, yeah, I found that part unsettling as well. Who SAYS that. Blaire makes problems out of things that aren't even problems
Guys, lets pause for a second here for an informational bit. *Historical Feminism* Earned Women the right to vote, work, and have personal independence *Modern Feminism* 20% Continues to fight for equality while 80% seeks to punish and enslave all men Its been a few hundred years people. Modern feminism and historical feminism are very different. When Blaire talks about feminism, she means the modern form. She is totally aware that her right to vote was due to feminist movements in history. There are still true feminists out there, and then there are feminazis that hijacked the concept.
CBA that 20% is redundant. they literally have acheived equality in fact they have completely reversed the roles and now themselves have much more privelage in society. they may not be radical feminists but they are still part of the problem because they choose to still side themselves with a cult that is no longer needed when they literally have a definition called egalitarianism that completely over rules the hateful cult they support.
+CBA, Oh don't give me that nonsense! Take "historical" and "modern" out of the equation, yeah? Because they're not bloody variables! *The problem is feminism.*
@ 3:05 I'm honestly surprised you didn't jump on the fact that this quote is from Gloria Steinem. Quite possibly one of the most evil cunts of the feminist movement with a voice. Should of just pulled up another quote from her which directly contradicts the quote in the image. “The most dangerous situation for a woman is not an unknown man in the street, or even the enemy in wartime, but a husband or lover in the isolation of their own home.” -Gloria Steinem Doesn't sound very much like she recognizes the humanity of men.
Okay this is a 3 y old video, but the reason why people don't leave abusive relationships is bc it's dangerous. Most murders happen when the victim tries to leave. That's why you need help to leave.
This notion that only women have beauty standards they are pressured to live up to drives me crazy. "Only men are allowed to age gracefully." Have these people never heard of Hair Color For Men? Also Harrison Ford gets ripped for being old all the time. Carrie Fisher gets more flack for being a coke fiend in the 80s than her age.
I'm so happy I found your channel. You are what is RIGHT with the LGBT community. You understand and are sane when it comes to the nonsense the sjws and 3rd wave feminists spout. thank you for being awesome :)
What do you really know about women's rights? You drop catch phrases but what do they mean? Did you know that in my childhood women could not have their own credit? could not purchase a home loan? Did you know that women in San Francisco Ca in the 1940's-50's could not live in their own apartments? THIS IS ONE GENERATION AGO! How quickly you have lost site of what and were women came from. They lived in group homes or with parents/guardians (no matter how old) until married or dead. You have NO IDEA what we went through so that you could be an ungrateful dumb uneducated brat. I hope you like living with your parents because they way women are acting towards feminist efforts it is almost like you want to be oppressed second class citizens. Turn off the youtube and pick up a fucking book you willfully uneducated fool.
I wonder if the Merrell Twins know someone is using their picture to perpetuate the feminist narrative. It's the picture with the caption: "If lesbians can control themselves around girls wearing short skirts, then the skirt's not the problem." Could you comment the source of that picture? I might let them know someone is using their picture.
Blaire White I found it on pinterest and emailed the picture to them. Hope they haven't bought into the feminist narrative and will try to take it down somehow.
+kledo5778 Sadly any female celebrity gets bombarded and pressured until they submit to Feminism. Very few seem able to resist the pressure. One of the reasons I have a high opinion of Katy Perry is because she won't give in to them.
+Blaire White The way Feminists badger female celebrities until they give in and begin identifying as Feminists, it makes me think Feminists believe they own women.
Okay... at 3:06, we talk about feminism. Women like Christina Hoff Sommers are a great example of what rational (second wave) feminism is. I think that the REAL enemy is third wave feminism (which is so prevalent on college campuses and must be fought) and I think we should all be careful when using these terms interchangeably if we're gonna win this fight. When the opposition hears someone say "I'm not a feminist" they could interpret that however they want. What most people mean when they say "I'm not a feminist" these days they mean to say "I don't believe in a patriarchal conspiracy theory, I disagree with the tactics of third wave feminism (such as getting people fired and physically abused at a rally), and I don't hate men". When some feminists hear "I'm not a feminist" they interpret that as "women are only sex objects, they don't belong in the workplace, men should be running everything". So, to everyone that wants to fight these insane third wave feminists, I say we have to actually use the phrase "third wave feminist" to differentiate between the crazies and the rational (like Christina Hoff Sommers)
+johnnysolami Third wave feminism is the one with more media coverage, therefore it is how feminism in general is seen. And many people know that there are still feminists like CHS, problem is those feminists don't really have the power to reach out to most people anymore, due to a lack of media attention.
I identify myself as feminist, but I disagree with a lot of their current strategies. I keep the title because I think it's a important title and I'm hoping a 4th wave of feminism gets better. It's a old word and I think it has more value. I think a reform works better than a counter movement. I fight for a reform within Islam, why wouldn't I fight for one within feminism? I see that happening in the future with the BLM movement, hopefully and other movements who started with really good points but got lost in the way.
There is a cure. I successfully got out of that cult called feminism but that was because I one day woke up and questioned why I was identifying as one. I then looked up all the arguements posed by feminists then I looked up counter arguements. That is when I stumbled apon Undoomed and his videos enlightened me. Undoomed is the cure lol
"this is just playing on the idea that victims have absolutely no culpability in their situations and that's just not true" for fuck's sake finally someone daring to utter these words!
If a man is accused of rape, wither it is true or not, his life is over. And some women lie about being raped. They can get really evil. So yeah, need some kind of evidence for that. Rape is a serious thing, and should not be taken lightly.
Feminism is equality; the 'third wave' feminist movement is NOT feminism. We both have struggles that need recognition in today's society. The definition has not changed, look it up. I'm not a advicit of either gender having dominance or superiority over one another, but I am a feminist.
People either forget or choose to ignore that women were doing a lot before the feminism movement even began. There were female scholars, mathematicians, scientists, queens who defended their own countries, women aiding in rebellions, women aiding in wars, women smugglers, women spies, women laborers, women fighting in wars, authors, artists, mothers, farmers, inventors. Feminism gave a couple of rights, but there were many western and even eastern women that had many accomplishments as their male counterparts. Ironically, the women before the movement were more inspiring and respected, and especially compared to the women to the women now. There isn't that great spark or determination anymore, and I can honestly say, I respected more women back in the day than now. They had most of their priorities straight which made them that iconic and admired. Honestly, the feminism movement will be remember for two things, the suffrage movement and this current era. That's why I won't ever call myself one or ever be part of that movement. If women before the movement were able to push through the standards without a movement behind them, why would I go for a movement that ran itself into the ground? A good chunk of women aren't even worth that admiration anymore since the women tend to lack that drive. Hell, most women now days go for liberal arts and act like middle schoolers, while in the past, women had priorities in their lives that drove them to succeed. In some cases, it was better.
You realize that it's possible for someone to love their abuser and have a hard time letting go emotionally. Who are you to dictate what someone's motivation is?
When it comes to abuse in relationships most people don't stay because they're willing to be hit everyday. They stay because their money has been taken away, their family are usually kept distanced, the person is scared. The abuser tries to remove every option they have. They don't stay because they're willing to be hit
How well read are you on domestic abuse? Have you ever heard of "cohercive persuasion" or "victim blaming"? The abuse meme is directly related to victim blaming and I think you misunderstood it. You also showed some ignorance while arguing your point. women stay because of cohercive persuasion, gaslighting, and other mental tactics used to make them question their very reality. I suggest you read up more on it. Yeah, they're "labels"... to very real shit.
And I think you misunderstood HER point. The only reason we HAVE these terms is because someone, at some point, actually asked "Why do people stay in abusive relationships?". Someone then went further and asked these victims. Someone researched it. Someone tried to figure this shit out. But a lot of people today automatically call "victim blaming" when the question is raised. Most people want to help victim, most people want to see them free, but most people also don't know why this happens and every new generation needs to be taught. It's exactly the same thing with a lot of rape; why do certain women get raped in certain situations. We need to ask these questions, so we can then learn what to change, what to avoid, what advice to give. If you automatically shut down all debate by screaming that it's victim blaming, you are leaving all the potential future victims vulnerable in their ignorance, and making it harder for anyone else to learn how to help. Or to take a different angle, it's like asking why did this house get burgled and not any other one in the neighborhood, so that we can learn how to discourage theft. Just shouting "Let's just tell people to stop stealing!" is sheer idiocy.
+Bill Jacobs, I was in an abusive relationship for 8.5 years. He hit, he manipulated, he had the tongue of a snake and the morals of Satan. These people (especially narcissists, sociopaths, and physchopaths) are trained in manipulation techniques that convince the victim that they are at fault, that if they just did something different, everything would be different. You are certainly NOT wrong for asking this question as it is a normal question to ask from the outside looking in. But know when you ask it that it effects the victim negatively causing them to blame themselves more for their own stupidity and inadequacy. They're trained by their abusers to do this. Victim blaming isn't just about you blaming the victim. Its about focusing on the victim and what they can do rather than focusing on the one who's really doing wrong. This plays into the abusive dynamic and very much in favor for the abuser. Please understand what victim blaming is. And if you want to help someone, the information is all over the Internet. But a quick crash course would be #1, do everything you can to build their confidence... They need it to trust their own thoughts again. #2, Remind them of their rights. #3, Offer any support you can. most often victims are purposely trapped with no way out(isolated with no money). The more options they get, the more hope will start to grow again. #4, give them time. it took time for the abuser to jumble up reality, its going to take a while to grasp it again. Abuse is so much more than hitting. There's systematic brainwashing aka cohercive persuasion. And until you fully understand how that works, you're not going to understand why women stay. If a victim knew this to tell you, they wouldn't be getting abused. I mean, that's just silly to think you can ask the victim why they're stuck. Right?
+Jenni Buchanan I agree I never will blame a victim, however as you mentioned as someone looking in. I still end up thinking "Man that guy is a piece of shit, why is she still with him?!" and then I probably if I ever saw something like that in real life I'd punch the living daylights out of his ass, even if I don't have the upper strength or I get arrested for it.
+gandalftheantlion, that's actually opposite of what usually happens. what usually happens is the 100 questions to find out what she did to deserve it.
Abuse Hurts I never would wish pain on anyone unless they truly deserve it. And normally those that derserve it dish out pain, so I can't live with myself if I knew anyone personally and I did nothing to stop it. But your right I've heard those questions but mostly on tv.
I love your videos and agree with you a lot, but I do want to say a note about people in abusive relationships (I'm saying "people" because it can be either women or men). There are times when someone ends up in a relationship that they didn't expect to be abusive and they can get out of it just fine, or have trouble escaping but still know it's wrong. But there are people who, because of how they were raised, their mindsets, the type that they are attracted to, or many other reasons, end up finding themselves with abusive people more often than they should. I'm not saying it's a good thing, but it's not uncommon for someone to be in an abusive relationship because there's a mis-connection in their mind. By that, I mean that sometimes people can't directly connect abuse as something that is not only terrible but unacceptable and shouldn't be allowed to be continued. Some may think that abuse is still love and it's okay, possibly as a result of childhood abuse or mistreatment. Other times someone may think that they will never have anyone who will treat them any better than that, regardless if someone like that really does come along, because they have such a negative view of themselves that they can't comprehend that they deserve better. Or sometimes a person can be attracted to certain behaviors that are very highly subjective to abusive behavior, and therefore repeatedly put themselves in bad situations unknowingly. Again, it's not right and they are not thinking properly but it is very plausible for the cause to be their own minds tricking them into thinking that it's okay with various fallacies.
I was once in a Physically, emotionally and sexually abusive relationship, with a women, that lasted 3 years. I would fucking love to hear 3rd wave feminists try and justify that.... P.S I'm disabled as well.
On the issue of women who stay in abusive relationships, unless you’ve been there, you really have no place to speak. It’s far more complicated than it appears. These are not stupid doormat women who make the choice to stay because...what? What would even fit there? What is the assumption exactly? That they don’t respect themselves? Or maybe they don’t have enough sense to leave? Or they condone it? All of these are stupid reasons and if what people are assuming about women who stay is anywhere close to these assumptions, take a step back and realize how ridiculous that is. Humans issues are complex and individual. Stop blaming women for staying.
I wasn't aware that you were a transgender until you have said it in this video. That caught me off guard, and may I say you're the sweetest transgender woman I've seen so far, rational as well. Please continue to spread the message of justice and truth.
Actually Carrie Fisher just looked shorter than she should've. Unfortunately when you're both short and wide, you eyes travel outward, making the person look shorter than they actually are.
1:35 _She_ makes the rules, for her, for him, for everyone. His job as a "good boyfriend" is to do what he is told, and especially what he is not told, but is expected to know just the same.
Saying feminism is pointless is to say transactivism is pointless, or any other group fighting oppression, of course there is a lot of toxicity in most of the communities but the fight it's real and its worth improving, not canceling.
Yes but sadly many ppl dont know what the movement actually was about.. talking about many issues women face.. r@p3 and so on, trafficking inProstitution and so on..
Wth Ary, there are so called "transactivists" closing female shelters, feminists would never fight to close a trans shelters! Everyone deserves a place to feel save and supported after a rape or any other kind of abuse
To be honest I don't think women are the ones putting pressure on each other to look youthful. They definitely create beauty standards for themselves such as fashion choices and aspiring to be stick-skinny (at least in the past, with models like Kate Moss). Many of women's beauty standards are created for women by women, and not only do men not care but I think in some trends they even consider it unattractive. However, the youthfulness (while it may be pushed by women also) is a direct response to what men want. Men like young looking girls because it's a subconscious sign of healthy child birthing. They like the perky boobs and the fresh skin, who wouldn't? The cliche story of the 40 year old father who abandons his wife and kids for his 20 year old secretary is a cliche for a reason; it happens, a lot. I work as a bartender at a strip club, and I've had many conversations with men who let their guard down and talk about their sexual desires in that setting. Several men have literally said that they wish they could date a girl half their age. Whether women push that agenda or not, men definitely started it.
SOME PEOPLE IN ABUSIVE RELATIONSHIPS ARE FORCED TO STAY IN THE RELATIONSHIP OR THEY FEEL THEY ARE FORCED TO STAY IN THE RELATIONSHIP TO STAY ALIVE. STATISTICALLY, 75% OF VICTIMS WERE KILLED AS THEY TRIED LEAVING OR AFTER THE FACT THAT THEY LEFT
it's AWESOME how your logic is ABSOLUTELY & 100% irrefutable!! BUT at the same time it's equally mind blowing how someone can "hear" your logic and just say "no, you're wrong and I'm right!" just completely mind blowing!!
Even though I disagree with a lot of your arguments, and think that using memes to reject an ideology is not the best method, I defend your right to express your opinion. However, just a friendly reminder before you choose such a violent title for your videos: feminism isn't just 10 years old. Thanks to feminism, in its early forms, you have the chance to post such a video. You can talk about whatever you want, and the majority of people won't discredit you just because you're a woman. You can be part of the decision of the political future of your country, you can go to school and have the same opportunities as a boy in the same situation as you. I am not saying that you should bow down to feminists and thank them, let alone accept that ideology if it is not yours, but I think it would be kind for you to at least recognize how you have also taken advantage of its benefits. Feminism isn't always what it is right now, and it did make an impact in our lives, whether we want to admit it or not. Also, focusing on the negative aspects of an ideology is great when you're not fond of it, but you do have to acknowledge that feminism isn't just about what you see in the western world. It is much more than internet, than any video, than this comment right here; it is something needed by people who still cannot go to school because they are girls, who still cannot choose who to marry, who need and want our help, from the other side of the world. All of this is just a request for more respect when dealing with such a delicate subject; it is easy being born in a world where basic problems, such as education, and several other individual freedoms don't pose as major problems, but think about the ones who are not as lucky. Who have been killed for wanting a bit more. They need us too. Have a nice day.
In 3rd world countries it's just fucking sexist due to a corrupt government. But feminists never fight for their rights. They fight for rights of western women? Early feminism - suffragists ok they wanted equality suffragettes were terrorist assholes who can fuck of as they were sexist! Women now have equality. That's gr8 I'm glad we're there now. So why the fuck dies feminism still exist? What about men's issues that they point blank ignore? Like custody laws
I'm not a feminist, but literally it isn't hard to understand what she said. No, she didn't mean "feminism created the internet", she means that if feminism never happened back in the 20s then women would still be lesser humans.
+tom & the riddles well this is where most people are wrong. The suffragette fuckmuffins didn't do shit to get women the vote. They actually made it worse as men said do violent assholes like this deserve the vote? Women actually got equality due to their effort in world war 1 and 2 which was vital for success. Basically they proved they were as Good workers as men. It wasn't feminism that helped and even if ur was feminism isn't needed now as they have equal rights!!!
+Blaire White Would you mind if I added you? :) I'm doing research into the rise of 'Masculinism' (Anti-feminism) in the media-space, and would love to get your thoughts on the matter - if you'd be happy to rant at me of course :)
In regards to the 'Men are just allowed to age' thing. I agree with what you say but I'd like to add to it, another reason men are considered to 'improve' with age, is because women (and society in general) will often gauge a mans worth by what he can provide (basically, how much money he has), and of course older men tend to be wealthier than younger men. Women are not traditionally burdened with the expectation to be the provider, neither do they face the stigma of being labeled a 'loser' if they're in a low paying job or even unemployed. Having your human worth valued by whats in your wallet isn't a 'privilege' and I'm sure it's a pretty shitty feeling for those men who haven't found financial success in life. Saying that, I can totally understand why old or unattractive women might feel disgruntled by younger, more attractive women being valued more highly than they are, *but* at least women are valued for 'them' and not how much money they can give you...
The female Youth = Beauty equation is connected to fertility, and is hard-wired into males by nature, NOT culture. This is similar to the hard-wired attraction of females to mature, established males With Assets. This is connected to the male's Provider/Protector sexual market value. Such tendencies are strong, and hard-wired for practical reasons, but they do not rule us 100%. Feminists should quit guilting and shaming about these natural tendencies!
*"I am a feminist because I still have to explain to people why I'm a feminist."* Mhm, let's see here: *"I am a Christian because I still have to explain to people why I'm a Christian."* *"I am a Nazi because I still have to explain to people why I'm a Nazi."* Because circular logic, and interpeting any questions, doubts or resisting arguments as automatic validation to one's standing/argument always works out so well. And it's not like it's the exact equivalent of blocking out your ears and going "LAAA LAAA LAAA I AM RIGHT YOU ARE WRONG LAAA LAAA LAAA!" or anything, eh? **Cue heavy sarcasm** These feminists are almost as funny as they are infuriating and dumb. xD
+RuSosan Don't you know... you aren't supposed to teach feminist logic you are supposed to teach men not to rape... listen and believe (because who needs thinking right?)
Egalitarianism is when men and women are equal. Feminism in the 21st century civilized world is about women having advantages or domination over men. There is egalitarianism in civilized societies such as the US.
Isa Alvarez When men hold 97.5% of every meaningful invention the world has ever seen, I highly doubt you can think of yourself on a man's level. Just think of yourself for yourself as a woman. It is this mindset trying to push people in roles simply for "diversity" is the problem when competent people know you bring in best people regardless of race/gender. This failing affirmative action agenda only hides the truly successful women that deserve real praise within the distracting noise of failing affirmative action quotas.
Couldn't agree more, Blaire. Feminism does not equal equality. Those that want true equality for EVERY demographic are egalitarians. Not many people know that calling themselves a feminist when advocating proper equality actually harms them more than benefits them. Radicals that advocate the deaths of whole demographics (i.e. genocide) infest every political movement. Feminism is a fantastic example of a movement gone far too far. And I despair when I sit in my English literature classroom "learning" about the "benefits" of third wave feminism, as my poor neglected classmates sit idly by, staring into space either hating everything they are hearing or actually allowing the rhetoric to seep into their minds. It pains me that the voices of reason and logic have been muffled by the disgusting, militant, misandrist whalesong that is 3rd wave feminism.
Yeah, and rapists already know that, so...what's the point of saying "no means no"? Do you go around shouting "stealing is bad!" like it's some sort of controversial statement?
Feminism isn't pointless. Stop dragging it down, it's whole meaning is to encourage equality between the 2 genders. Just because women in America have equal rights as men it doesn't mean they do everywhere else.
I really can't stand the "don't be curious about what the victim was doing or else it's victim blaming" shit. It's bullshit. The victim probably has a sound mind. They can make choices and we want to help them make the best ones. The abuser doesn't have an ok mind, they're fucked up. Reasoning with them comes later. After ceasing and consequence. Getting the victim out is urgent. Who can get the victim out? The victim. Yeah sucks that everyone even has to protect themselves, but protecting yourself is not victim blaming and it is sickening that braindead feminists think so. You have to make the best choices you can, and the people who actually care about you and these problems will want it to stop and stop fast. Feminists only care about their agenda that hardly makes sense.
no, there is no true feminism and all feminism is cancer. Everything should just support equality, both mens rights and womens rights because guess what? EQUALITY does not surround itself around 1 gender- 'FEMINISM' - that will lead to the toxic stuff feminism perpetuates.
I strongly disagree with this video and everyone ignorant comment that supports it. I know, however, that no matter what I say is going to change the perspective you have so wrongly taken, and for that I am truly sorry. The world has very clearly failed you.
Just because you’re against the RADICAL feminist movement, doesn’t mean you get to include that to mean the entirety of feminism as in the “baseline dictionary definition” which IS equal rights. That IS feminism, if there are feminist movements that have other ideas and other subgroups, who’s the ignorant one here bashing the entirety of feminism like ok let me discredit it with flimsy quotes like “oh its stupid thats not feminism its ignoring all the other horrible ideas” are you really that narrowninded that all feminists subscribe to all these other niche ideas?? Im a feminist but im not advocating for women growing armpit hair and pretending like we are equally masculine this is about rights and the fucking double standard in society
"no means no" is an intellectual phrase that means it's exact words. obviously "no" won't stop rapists, but maybe rapists should know limits of the word "no" to a woman and her body. if a man and a woman (or a woman and woman, man and man) make a decision to be "sexual" and the other says "no" before even doing anything, it means to stop because they perhaps could be uncomfortable with the situation. if a woman is uncomfortable, and she says "no" or "stop" the other person should obviously know the fucking definition of "no" and then stop immediately. if they don't stop, obviously it's rape. the point is, if you are conscious and oncoming a something sexual that you do not want to happen, saying "no" could possibly send a message to the other to stop. Rape is very horrible. imagine if it happened to you, would you say "no" to stop the person if you weren't enjoying it???????? exactly.
Can we have more videos like this plz?? Blaire sharing memes and social media posts with commentary is the best thing since sliced bread.... It's the perfect thing to play in the background while I play video games
Look up the definition of feminism- it is the advocacy of women having the same rights a man would, you’re against that? You want to live as a woman, do you want to have the right to vote? Do you want to be able to own property, I know you want to buy a house, would you like to not be able to? Is that what you subcribe to? Patriarchy?
But a feminist IS anyone who belives men and women should be treated equally. The fact that some people consider feminist to have a different definition that this is irrelevant. If you and the dictionary disagree, it's not the dictionary that's wrong.
are you stupid, a feminist is not anyone who believes men and women should be treated equally. Thats a good human, a person who believes in *equality*. This comment is just another example of why people hate feminists
@@ahuman5440 Do you disagree with the statement "If you and the dictionary disagree, it's not the dictionary that's wrong" ? Also that's why we have a different word for someone who thinks everyone should have equal rights: An egalitarian. YOu could be a feminist (someone who believes women and men should have equal rights) but if you, say, didn;t believe that gay people should be able to get married, then you WOULDN'T be an egalitarian. That''s why we have two different words for two different meanings. Don't be afraid of a word just because it starts with "fem".
Oh my god the ending killed me. You have a very smart point of view of all this. You back it up with facts and not just your opinion. I appreciate that.
I used to call myself a male feminist...
when I thought feminism was about equality.
Me too
me too!! 〆(・∀・＠)
TheBatCorner LOL. Like hell it is. Nice try though.
TheBatCorner where have you been buddy, it WAS about equality
now its about girls bitching about " sexism" for the shittiest of reasons
Feminism IS about equality, there are however many people who claim to be feminists who ruin the reputation of feminism because they only care about women. (and sometimes non-binary genders) I understand why these so-called feminsts are hated on, but please, some of us actually believe in gender equality, also when it is men who are at a disadvantage.
Women who stay in abusive relationships are doing it because they have no way out! They have often have no choice. In some cases it there is a very serious risk of death.
I wouldn't say men are disgusted by periods, they just freak out because it's a thing that doesn't happen to them, so they don't really understand how they can help much, but they still try, I've never really heard a guy say menstruation is "disgusting" or "grotesque"
lingloo ACTUALLY you SHOULD be disgusted by periods. It's literally blood and globs gushing out of our vaginas. I'm a woman who gets one every month and I'm fucking disgusted by it. It's a lot going on. I'd be more worried if there are men who AREN'T grossed out by periods at least a little. Don't let feminazi's who drink Satan's blood for breakfast tell you otherwise.
Jewel Kitty lol well yeah it is pretty nasty but it's a natural thing that happens that we cant avoid, I'm only 13 and just started having them only 3 years ago but I've gotten over how bad it can seem, I see where you're coming from though.
papa eggo e
papa eggo honestly as an 18 year old female, I am equally amazed as I am terrified by what our bodies can do. Thinking about giving birth to children makes me sick to my stomach. Although I'm fine with having a period, I'd see why men are uncomfortable with the idea. It's a crazy fuckin thing, shedding an entire uterine lining in less than a week. Some women have a heavier blood flow than others do and have different symptoms. Some men don't know the specifics of periods but most of the time it's not their fault since the sex education is so faulty in America.
Men sometimes rag on [pun] women for having periods in a teasing way. But every grown man fully understands what menstruation is about. While not too many would describe the event as "pleasant," the meme is predictably exaggerating reality. Feminists making much more of the matter than men do
Now I must find a girl who's into Charmander play(??)

In my opinion feminism was actually a good movement which turned into nothing.. but nonsense.
all -isms in have some noble goal in the beginning. They fight FOR something good (equality, for example). But then one the initial goals are reached the -ism will go further and will start to fight AGAINST something. This is what happened with feminism too.
As our rights keep slipping away. Why do women hate themselves like this? Stop this.
@@lyndaanneshop im more of a "radical" feminist and I critisize liberal feminism.
That opinion is wrong LMAO
I think criticizing extremists in movements is important, however, it's important to recognize that there are a lot of people who labels themselves feminists but aren't radical - as in, they support "equality of BOTH sexes" - something all people should agree with, that the genders are equal.
I also think it's important to not label issues are irrelevant because of extremists and "feminazi's". Women are still oppressed by laws in many countries around the world, and even in developed countries they still face issues. (Not erasing the fact that men face gender related issues too.)
The key word is SOME people, the rest are all snowflake degenerates
I totally agree, I consider myself a feminist because even among all the radicalism there’s still a good amount of feminists who are totally normal nice people and talk about issues that affect me as a women
Yes thank you. Even among all the crazies I know personally and have seen some online, feminists who are completely nice and normal people, and talk about issues that affect women that I relate to.
Thank you..

NO ONE is “willing” to be abused. Learn psychology and Battered Wife Syndrome before you judge abused women.
On the abusive relationship meme, there are a lot of women who absolutely have no way out. In my first marriage, I was locked in a closet 22 hours a day and had no access to phone, transportation, running away or otherwise because he didn't ever leave my side. A lot of women are literally unable to leave and or are threatened on a regular basis.

Guys, lets pause for a second here for an informational bit.
*Historical Feminism*
Earned Women the right to vote, work, and have personal independence
*Modern Feminism*
20% Continues to fight for equality while 80% seeks to punish and enslave all men
Its been a few hundred years people. Modern feminism and historical feminism are very different. When Blaire talks about feminism, she means the modern form. She is totally aware that her right to vote was due to feminist movements in history.
There are still true feminists out there, and then there are feminazis that hijacked the concept.
needs more likes
Honestly, I wish that 20% was 100%
CBA that 20% is redundant. they literally have acheived equality in fact they have completely reversed the roles and now themselves have much more privelage in society. they may not be radical feminists but they are still part of the problem because they choose to still side themselves with a cult that is no longer needed when they literally have a definition called egalitarianism that completely over rules the hateful cult they support.
Im late but.. You do know that Blaire was born as a male, right?
+CBA,
Oh don't give me that nonsense! Take "historical" and "modern" out of the equation, yeah? Because they're not bloody variables! *The problem is feminism.*
@ 3:05 I'm honestly surprised you didn't jump on the fact that this quote is from Gloria Steinem. Quite possibly one of the most evil cunts of the feminist movement with a voice. Should of just pulled up another quote from her which directly contradicts the quote in the image.
“The most dangerous situation for a woman is not an unknown man in the street, or even the enemy in wartime, but a husband or lover in the isolation of their own home.” -Gloria Steinem
Doesn't sound very much like she recognizes the humanity of men.
+westwood500
Switch the sexes, and she's spot on.
"or even the enemy in the wartime" so I assume she was front line infantry at a war to be able to say that right ?
The saddest part is that Gloria Steinem used to be really great in the 70s. Now she's just senile.
Hate Love No, she was still a radical in the 70's.
+Hate Love
NO!
She was, and still is one of the pivotal figures that is the toxic feminism we see today.
Okay this is a 3 y old video, but the reason why people don't leave abusive relationships is bc it's dangerous. Most murders happen when the victim tries to leave. That's why you need help to leave.
This notion that only women have beauty standards they are pressured to live up to drives me crazy. "Only men are allowed to age gracefully." Have these people never heard of Hair Color For Men? Also Harrison Ford gets ripped for being old all the time. Carrie Fisher gets more flack for being a coke fiend in the 80s than her age.
I'm so happy I found your channel. You are what is RIGHT with the LGBT community. You understand and are sane when it comes to the nonsense the sjws and 3rd wave feminists spout. thank you for being awesome :)
What do you really know about women's rights? You drop catch phrases but what do they mean? Did you know that in my childhood women could not have their own credit? could not purchase a home loan? Did you know that women in San Francisco Ca in the 1940's-50's could not live in their own apartments? THIS IS ONE GENERATION AGO! How quickly you have lost site of what and were women came from. They lived in group homes or with parents/guardians (no matter how old) until married or dead. You have NO IDEA what we went through so that you could be an ungrateful dumb uneducated brat. I hope you like living with your parents because they way women are acting towards feminist efforts it is almost like you want to be oppressed second class citizens. Turn off the youtube and pick up a fucking book you willfully uneducated fool.
I wonder if the Merrell Twins know someone is using their picture to perpetuate the feminist narrative. It's the picture with the caption: "If lesbians can control themselves around girls wearing short skirts, then the skirt's not the problem."

+kledo5778 Sadly any female celebrity gets bombarded and pressured until they submit to Feminism. Very few seem able to resist the pressure. One of the reasons I have a high opinion of Katy Perry is because she won't give in to them.
+Blaire White The way Feminists badger female celebrities until they give in and begin identifying as Feminists, it makes me think Feminists believe they own women.
I need more of Blaire reacting to memes like this
"De-sexualize the female body" like why would you fucking do that?
TRUUUEEEEEEE
I believe in equality of men and women- not a "feminist".
Okay... at 3:06, we talk about feminism. Women like Christina Hoff Sommers are a great example of what rational (second wave) feminism is. I think that the REAL enemy is third wave feminism (which is so prevalent on college campuses and must be fought) and I think we should all be careful when using these terms interchangeably if we're gonna win this fight. When the opposition hears someone say "I'm not a feminist" they could interpret that however they want. What most people mean when they say "I'm not a feminist" these days they mean to say "I don't believe in a patriarchal conspiracy theory, I disagree with the tactics of third wave feminism (such as getting people fired and physically abused at a rally), and I don't hate men". When some feminists hear "I'm not a feminist" they interpret that as "women are only sex objects, they don't belong in the workplace, men should be running everything". So, to everyone that wants to fight these insane third wave feminists, I say we have to actually use the phrase "third wave feminist" to differentiate between the crazies and the rational (like Christina Hoff Sommers)
+johnnysolami Third wave feminism is the one with more media coverage, therefore it is how feminism in general is seen. And many people know that there are still feminists like CHS, problem is those feminists don't really have the power to reach out to most people anymore, due to a lack of media attention.
"I need a Xanax" lmao
I will never see Charmander the same way again...
I identify myself as feminist, but I disagree with a lot of their current strategies. I keep the title because I think it's a important title and I'm hoping a 4th wave of feminism gets better. It's a old word and I think it has more value. I think a reform works better than a counter movement. I fight for a reform within Islam, why wouldn't I fight for one within feminism? I see that happening in the future with the BLM movement, hopefully and other movements who started with really good points but got lost in the way.
Vanessa Araujo it’s not, deal with it
The ''i need a fuckin Xanax'' cracked me up. Go Blaire, show them what you got!
Is there a cure for Feminism?
Yeah, Islam.
Death.
There is a cure. I successfully got out of that cult called feminism but that was because I one day woke up and questioned why I was identifying as one. I then looked up all the arguements posed by feminists then I looked up counter arguements. That is when I stumbled apon Undoomed and his videos enlightened me. Undoomed is the cure lol
the pressure to look youthful ia apart of nature. Youth in women means fertility which is naturally more attractive to males.
"this is just playing on the idea that victims have absolutely no culpability in their situations and that's just not true" for fuck's sake finally someone daring to utter these words!
If a man is accused of rape, wither it is true or not, his life is over. And some women lie about being raped. They can get really evil. So yeah, need some kind of evidence for that. Rape is a serious thing, and should not be taken lightly.
Feminism is equality; the 'third wave' feminist movement is NOT feminism. We both have struggles that need recognition in today's society. The definition has not changed, look it up. I'm not a advicit of either gender having dominance or superiority over one another, but I am a feminist.
That ending was perfect. Love this. Keep them coming!
Brilliant as always, Blaire
Someone that actually speaks the truth, love the channel keep up the great work
People either forget or choose to ignore that women were doing a lot before the feminism movement even began. There were female scholars, mathematicians, scientists, queens who defended their own countries, women aiding in rebellions, women aiding in wars, women smugglers, women spies, women laborers, women fighting in wars, authors, artists, mothers, farmers, inventors. Feminism gave a couple of rights, but there were many western and even eastern women that had many accomplishments as their male counterparts. Ironically, the women before the movement were more inspiring and respected, and especially compared to the women to the women now. There isn't that great spark or determination anymore, and I can honestly say, I respected more women back in the day than now. They had most of their priorities straight which made them that iconic and admired. Honestly, the feminism movement will be remember for two things, the suffrage movement and this current era. That's why I won't ever call myself one or ever be part of that movement. If women before the movement were able to push through the standards without a movement behind them, why would I go for a movement that ran itself into the ground? A good chunk of women aren't even worth that admiration anymore since the women tend to lack that drive. Hell, most women now days go for liberal arts and act like middle schoolers, while in the past, women had priorities in their lives that drove them to succeed. In some cases, it was better.
Preach the word brutha
You realize that it's possible for someone to love their abuser and have a hard time letting go emotionally. Who are you to dictate what someone's motivation is?
When it comes to abuse in relationships most people don't stay because they're willing to be hit everyday. They stay because their money has been taken away, their family are usually kept distanced, the person is scared. The abuser tries to remove every option they have. They don't stay because they're willing to be hit
That's exactly what she meant by by "question the motive"
How well read are you on domestic abuse? Have you ever heard of "cohercive persuasion" or "victim blaming"?
The abuse meme is directly related to victim blaming and I think you misunderstood it. You also showed some ignorance while arguing your point. women stay because of cohercive persuasion, gaslighting, and other mental tactics used to make them question their very reality.
I suggest you read up more on it. Yeah, they're "labels"... to very real shit.
And I think you misunderstood HER point. The only reason we HAVE these terms is because someone, at some point, actually asked "Why do people stay in abusive relationships?". Someone then went further and asked these victims. Someone researched it. Someone tried to figure this shit out. But a lot of people today automatically call "victim blaming" when the question is raised. Most people want to help victim, most people want to see them free, but most people also don't know why this happens and every new generation needs to be taught. It's exactly the same thing with a lot of rape; why do certain women get raped in certain situations. We need to ask these questions, so we can then learn what to change, what to avoid, what advice to give. If you automatically shut down all debate by screaming that it's victim blaming, you are leaving all the potential future victims vulnerable in their ignorance, and making it harder for anyone else to learn how to help. Or to take a different angle, it's like asking why did this house get burgled and not any other one in the neighborhood, so that we can learn how to discourage theft. Just shouting "Let's just tell people to stop stealing!" is sheer idiocy.
+Bill Jacobs,
I was in an abusive relationship for 8.5 years. He hit, he manipulated, he had the tongue of a snake and the morals of Satan. These people (especially narcissists, sociopaths, and physchopaths) are trained in manipulation techniques that convince the victim that they are at fault, that if they just did something different, everything would be different.
You are certainly NOT wrong for asking this question as it is a normal question to ask from the outside looking in. But know when you ask it that it effects the victim negatively causing them to blame themselves more for their own stupidity and inadequacy. They're trained by their abusers to do this.
Victim blaming isn't just about you blaming the victim. Its about focusing on the victim and what they can do rather than focusing on the one who's really doing wrong. This plays into the abusive dynamic and very much in favor for the abuser.
Please understand what victim blaming is. And if you want to help someone, the information is all over the Internet. But a quick crash course would be #1, do everything you can to build their confidence... They need it to trust their own thoughts again. #2, Remind them of their rights. #3, Offer any support you can. most often victims are purposely trapped with no way out(isolated with no money). The more options they get, the more hope will start to grow again. #4, give them time. it took time for the abuser to jumble up reality, its going to take a while to grasp it again.
Abuse is so much more than hitting. There's systematic brainwashing aka cohercive persuasion. And until you fully understand how that works, you're not going to understand why women stay. If a victim knew this to tell you, they wouldn't be getting abused. I mean, that's just silly to think you can ask the victim why they're stuck. Right?
+Jenni Buchanan I agree I never will blame a victim, however as you mentioned as someone looking in. I still end up thinking "Man that guy is a piece of shit, why is she still with him?!" and then I probably if I ever saw something like that in real life I'd punch the living daylights out of his ass, even if I don't have the upper strength or I get arrested for it.
+gandalftheantlion, that's actually opposite of what usually happens. what usually happens is the 100 questions to find out what she did to deserve it.
Abuse Hurts
I never would wish pain on anyone unless they truly deserve it. And normally those that derserve it dish out pain, so I can't live with myself if I knew anyone personally and I did nothing to stop it.
But your right I've heard those questions but mostly on tv.
Blaire White is the one of most logical people on the internet hands down
-black person
Maybe the odious Ms. Watson should have used this quote when Alan Rickman was alive. I wonder why she did not do that? Humph.
I love your videos and agree with you a lot, but I do want to say a note about people in abusive relationships (I'm saying "people" because it can be either women or men). There are times when someone ends up in a relationship that they didn't expect to be abusive and they can get out of it just fine, or have trouble escaping but still know it's wrong.
But there are people who, because of how they were raised, their mindsets, the type that they are attracted to, or many other reasons, end up finding themselves with abusive people more often than they should. I'm not saying it's a good thing, but it's not uncommon for someone to be in an abusive relationship because there's a mis-connection in their mind. By that, I mean that sometimes people can't directly connect abuse as something that is not only terrible but unacceptable and shouldn't be allowed to be continued.
Some may think that abuse is still love and it's okay, possibly as a result of childhood abuse or mistreatment. Other times someone may think that they will never have anyone who will treat them any better than that, regardless if someone like that really does come along, because they have such a negative view of themselves that they can't comprehend that they deserve better. Or sometimes a person can be attracted to certain behaviors that are very highly subjective to abusive behavior, and therefore repeatedly put themselves in bad situations unknowingly.
Again, it's not right and they are not thinking properly but it is very plausible for the cause to be their own minds tricking them into thinking that it's okay with various fallacies.

On the issue of women who stay in abusive relationships, unless you’ve been there, you really have no place to speak. It’s far more complicated than it appears. These are not stupid doormat women who make the choice to stay because...what? What would even fit there? What is the assumption exactly? That they don’t respect themselves? Or maybe they don’t have enough sense to leave? Or they condone it? All of these are stupid reasons and if what people are assuming about women who stay is anywhere close to these assumptions, take a step back and realize how ridiculous that is. Humans issues are complex and individual. Stop blaming women for staying.

Saying feminism is pointless is to say transactivism is pointless, or any other group fighting oppression, of course there is a lot of toxicity in most of the communities but the fight it's real and its worth improving, not canceling.
Yes but sadly many ppl dont know what the movement actually was about.. talking about many issues women face.. r@p3 and so on, trafficking inProstitution and so on..
Wth Ary, there are so called "transactivists" closing female shelters, feminists would never fight to close a trans shelters! Everyone deserves a place to feel save and supported after a rape or any other kind of abuse
To be honest I don't think women are the ones putting pressure on each other to look youthful. They definitely create beauty standards for themselves such as fashion choices and aspiring to be stick-skinny (at least in the past, with models like Kate Moss). Many of women's beauty standards are created for women by women, and not only do men not care but I think in some trends they even consider it unattractive. However, the youthfulness (while it may be pushed by women also) is a direct response to what men want. Men like young looking girls because it's a subconscious sign of healthy child birthing. They like the perky boobs and the fresh skin, who wouldn't? The cliche story of the 40 year old father who abandons his wife and kids for his 20 year old secretary is a cliche for a reason; it happens, a lot. I work as a bartender at a strip club, and I've had many conversations with men who let their guard down and talk about their sexual desires in that setting. Several men have literally said that they wish they could date a girl half their age. Whether women push that agenda or not, men definitely started it.
SOME PEOPLE IN ABUSIVE RELATIONSHIPS ARE FORCED TO STAY IN THE RELATIONSHIP OR THEY FEEL THEY ARE FORCED TO STAY IN THE RELATIONSHIP TO STAY ALIVE. STATISTICALLY, 75% OF VICTIMS WERE KILLED AS THEY TRIED LEAVING OR AFTER THE FACT THAT THEY LEFT
Did they give you a cookie yet?

I really want to start a "Platypus means Platypus" meme now.
I just discovered your channel and watched hours of them already! I love you so much!
Even though I disagree with a lot of your arguments, and think that using memes to reject an ideology is not the best method, I defend your right to express your opinion. However, just a friendly reminder before you choose such a violent title for your videos: feminism isn't just 10 years old. Thanks to feminism, in its early forms, you have the chance to post such a video. You can talk about whatever you want, and the majority of people won't discredit you just because you're a woman. You can be part of the decision of the political future of your country, you can go to school and have the same opportunities as a boy in the same situation as you.
I am not saying that you should bow down to feminists and thank them, let alone accept that ideology if it is not yours, but I think it would be kind for you to at least recognize how you have also taken advantage of its benefits.
Feminism isn't always what it is right now, and it did make an impact in our lives, whether we want to admit it or not.
Also, focusing on the negative aspects of an ideology is great when you're not fond of it, but you do have to acknowledge that feminism isn't just about what you see in the western world. It is much more than internet, than any video, than this comment right here; it is something needed by people who still cannot go to school because they are girls, who still cannot choose who to marry, who need and want our help, from the other side of the world.
All of this is just a request for more respect when dealing with such a delicate subject; it is easy being born in a world where basic problems, such as education, and several other individual freedoms don't pose as major problems, but think about the ones who are not as lucky. Who have been killed for wanting a bit more. They need us too.
Have a nice day.
+Arcturus Blake Hence the need to use different terms! 3rd wave feminism is not all feminism, it's part of the feminist movement.
Angry FEMINIST is angry.
In 3rd world countries it's just fucking sexist due to a corrupt government. But feminists never fight for their rights. They fight for rights of western women? Early feminism - suffragists ok they wanted equality suffragettes were terrorist assholes who can fuck of as they were sexist! Women now have equality. That's gr8 I'm glad we're there now. So why the fuck dies feminism still exist? What about men's issues that they point blank ignore? Like custody laws
I'm not a feminist, but literally it isn't hard to understand what she said. No, she didn't mean "feminism created the internet", she means that if feminism never happened back in the 20s then women would still be lesser humans.
+tom & the riddles well this is where most people are wrong. The suffragette fuckmuffins didn't do shit to get women the vote. They actually made it worse as men said do violent assholes like this deserve the vote? Women actually got equality due to their effort in world war 1 and 2 which was vital for success. Basically they proved they were as Good workers as men. It wasn't feminism that helped and even if ur was feminism isn't needed now as they have equal rights!!!

I agree with what you say but I'd like to add to it, another reason men are considered to 'improve' with age, is because women (and society in general) will often gauge a mans worth by what he can provide (basically, how much money he has), and of course older men tend to be wealthier than younger men.
Women are not traditionally burdened with the expectation to be the provider, neither do they face the stigma of being labeled a 'loser' if they're in a low paying job or even unemployed.
Having your human worth valued by whats in your wallet isn't a 'privilege' and I'm sure it's a pretty shitty feeling for those men who haven't found financial success in life.
Saying that, I can totally understand why old or unattractive women might feel disgruntled by younger, more attractive women being valued more highly than they are, *but* at least women are valued for 'them' and not how much money they can give you...
The female Youth = Beauty equation is connected to fertility, and is hard-wired into males by nature, NOT culture. This is similar to the hard-wired attraction of females to mature, established males With Assets. This is connected to the male's Provider/Protector sexual market value.
Such tendencies are strong, and hard-wired for practical reasons, but they do not rule us 100%. Feminists should quit guilting and shaming about these natural tendencies!
*"I am a feminist because I still have to explain to people why I'm a feminist."*
Mhm, let's see here:
*"I am a Christian because I still have to explain to people why I'm a Christian."*
*"I am a Nazi because I still have to explain to people why I'm a Nazi."*
Because circular logic, and interpeting any questions, doubts or resisting arguments as automatic validation to one's standing/argument always works out so well.
And it's not like it's the exact equivalent of blocking out your ears and going "LAAA LAAA LAAA I AM RIGHT YOU ARE WRONG LAAA LAAA LAAA!" or anything, eh?
**Cue heavy sarcasm**
These feminists are almost as funny as they are infuriating and dumb.

Don't you know... you aren't supposed to teach feminist logic you are supposed to teach men not to rape... listen and believe
(because who needs thinking right?)
+Jo Viljar Haugstulen
Oh yes, what was I thinking?
OH DAMMIT, there I go again!
I like Blaire now but looking back some of these points are kind of gross... I wonder if she still feels this way
"No means no"
Who would've thought?
There are a lot of reasons ppl stay in toxic relationships
Financial dependence
Fear of rejection/solitude
They keep apologizing
Fear of retaliation
I mean i don’t really know who u think u have a say in it because it actually helped women gain rights
OH LAWWWWWWD ✊🏿🏀
Feminism. We need more of it. I vote that everyone is equal.
no we don't
Blaire is transgender. She doesn't count.
Egalitarianism is when men and women are equal. Feminism in the 21st century civilized world is about women having advantages or domination over men. There is egalitarianism in civilized societies such as the US.
not even all women are equal so why do the need to be equal to men.
Isa Alvarez When men hold 97.5% of every meaningful invention the world has ever seen, I highly doubt you can think of yourself on a man's level. Just think of yourself for yourself as a woman. It is this mindset trying to push people in roles simply for "diversity" is the problem when competent people know you bring in best people regardless of race/gender. This failing affirmative action agenda only hides the truly successful women that deserve real praise within the distracting noise of failing affirmative action quotas.
Couldn't agree more, Blaire. Feminism does not equal equality. Those that want true equality for EVERY demographic are egalitarians. Not many people know that calling themselves a feminist when advocating proper equality actually harms them more than benefits them. Radicals that advocate the deaths of whole demographics (i.e. genocide) infest every political movement. Feminism is a fantastic example of a movement gone far too far. And I despair when I sit in my English literature classroom "learning" about the "benefits" of third wave feminism, as my poor neglected classmates sit idly by, staring into space either hating everything they are hearing or actually allowing the rhetoric to seep into their minds. It pains me that the voices of reason and logic have been muffled by the disgusting, militant, misandrist whalesong that is 3rd wave feminism.
OMG the charmander bit killed me...you're too genius.
'No means no' means that rape is wrong, which I don't think you fully understand.... do you just sit in your house and think of stupid things to say?
Yeah, and rapists already know that, so...what's the point of saying "no means no"? Do you go around shouting "stealing is bad!" like it's some sort of controversial statement?
Feminism isn't pointless. Stop dragging it down, it's whole meaning is to encourage equality between the 2 genders. Just because women in America have equal rights as men it doesn't mean they do everywhere else.
LIZZO IS ANGRY 🐋
IM DYING CHARMANDER LMAO. WE KNOW YOURE HUNGRY WITHOUT THE SHIRT 😹😹😹👌🙌🏻
Leigha Fisher OMG yes
I really can't stand the "don't be curious about what the victim was doing or else it's victim blaming" shit. It's bullshit. The victim probably has a sound mind. They can make choices and we want to help them make the best ones. The abuser doesn't have an ok mind, they're fucked up. Reasoning with them comes later. After ceasing and consequence. Getting the victim out is urgent. Who can get the victim out? The victim. Yeah sucks that everyone even has to protect themselves, but protecting yourself is not victim blaming and it is sickening that braindead feminists think so. You have to make the best choices you can, and the people who actually care about you and these problems will want it to stop and stop fast. Feminists only care about their agenda that hardly makes sense.
True Feminism IS about equality!
no, there is no true feminism and all feminism is cancer. Everything should just support equality, both mens rights and womens rights because guess what? EQUALITY does not surround itself around 1 gender- 'FEMINISM' - that will lead to the toxic stuff feminism perpetuates.
I don't see how standing up against rape for 1 is cancerous.
I strongly disagree with this video and everyone ignorant comment that supports it. I know, however, that no matter what I say is going to change the perspective you have so wrongly taken, and for that I am truly sorry. The world has very clearly failed you.
Triggered, much?
I love her closing line..."I need a fucking Xanex." LoLz!
Me too.
I've have to say, you really are one of my favourite CZcams creators. Thanks for sharing, please keep up the good work! 😘
Just because you’re against the RADICAL feminist movement, doesn’t mean you get to include that to mean the entirety of feminism as in the “baseline dictionary definition” which IS equal rights. That IS feminism, if there are feminist movements that have other ideas and other subgroups, who’s the ignorant one here bashing the entirety of feminism like ok let me discredit it with flimsy quotes like “oh its stupid thats not feminism its ignoring all the other horrible ideas” are you really that narrowninded that all feminists subscribe to all these other niche ideas?? Im a feminist but im not advocating for women growing armpit hair and pretending like we are equally masculine this is about rights and the fucking double standard in society
You know, my uncle had cancer. Comparing equality to a terminal disease is actually disgusting
"no means no" is an intellectual phrase that means it's exact words. obviously "no" won't stop rapists, but maybe rapists should know limits of the word "no" to a woman and her body. if a man and a woman (or a woman and woman, man and man) make a decision to be "sexual" and the other says "no" before even doing anything, it means to stop because they perhaps could be uncomfortable with the situation. if a woman is uncomfortable, and she says "no" or "stop" the other person should obviously know the fucking definition of "no" and then stop immediately. if they don't stop, obviously it's rape. the point is, if you are conscious and oncoming a something sexual that you do not want to happen, saying "no" could possibly send a message to the other to stop. Rape is very horrible. imagine if it happened to you, would you say "no" to stop the person if you weren't enjoying it???????? exactly.
Can we have more videos like this plz?? Blaire sharing memes and social media posts with commentary is the best thing since sliced bread.... It's the perfect thing to play in the background while I play video games
Look up the definition of feminism- it is the advocacy of women having the same rights a man would, you’re against that? You want to live as a woman, do you want to have the right to vote? Do you want to be able to own property, I know you want to buy a house, would you like to not be able to? Is that what you subcribe to? Patriarchy?
But a feminist IS anyone who belives men and women should be treated equally. The fact that some people consider feminist to have a different definition that this is irrelevant. If you and the dictionary disagree, it's not the dictionary that's wrong.
are you stupid, a feminist is not anyone who believes men and women should be treated equally. Thats a good human, a person who believes in *equality*. This comment is just another example of why people hate feminists
@@ahuman5440 Do you disagree with the statement "If you and the dictionary disagree, it's not the dictionary that's wrong" ?
Also that's why we have a different word for someone who thinks everyone should have equal rights: An egalitarian. YOu could be a feminist (someone who believes women and men should have equal rights) but if you, say, didn;t believe that gay people should be able to get married, then you WOULDN'T be an egalitarian. That''s why we have two different words for two different meanings.
Don't be afraid of a word just because it starts with "fem".
Oh my god the ending killed me. You have a very smart point of view of all this. You back it up with facts and not just your opinion. I appreciate that.
I love the style of her old videos.
"I need a fucking Xanax." xD
Here we go.You are able to live your life as a woman with privilege because of the movement.
