- Do men need to check their privilege? Gender activists tell us that men carry around with them an invisible knapsack of advantage. Well, is this true and is it the whole story? AEI Scholar Christina Hoff Sommers checks the facts.

If you are willing to cherry pick, stretch the truth a bit, and suppress counterevidence, you can easily make it seem like women are the have-nots in our society. You point to the wage gap, the glass ceiling. You focus on women’s vulnerability to body shaming, sexual objectification, mansplaining, street harassment, intimate partner violence. Before long you will have constructed a full-scale patriarchy. And we have hundreds of women’s groups who do just that-they specialize in persuading us that Venus is victimized and Mars is privileged. But here is the problem. Women’s advocacy groups tend to exaggerate the plight of Venus and ignore the troubles on Mars. As I have tried to show in earlier segments of this series, most of the standard feminist injustice statistics are exaggerated or just plain wrong. It not true that women are being cheated out of 23 percent of their salaries or that 1 in five will be victims of sexual assault. And it’s also the case that, in many critical domains, women are faring far better than men. Let’s consider a few: In education, it is women who are the privileged sex. At every level of education-from preschool to graduate school-and across all ethnic and class lines, women get better grades, win most of the honors and prizes, and are far more likely to go to college. Today, women earn a majority of BAs and advanced degrees. Our schools do a much better job educating women than men. Now look at the workplace. Women’s groups focus a lot of attention on people at the pinnacle of achievement-CEOs of Fortune 500 corporations, tenured physics professors at MIT, U.S. Senators-and they are right to say that there are too few women. But look what happens when you consider the entire workforce. There may be a tiny handful of women-but the lethal professions are largely a male preserve. As my favorite dissident feminist, Camille Paglia, has noted: "It is overwhelmingly men who do the dirty, dangerous work of building roads, pouring concrete, laying bricks, tarring roofs, hanging electric wires, excavating natural gas and sewage lines, cutting and clearing trees, and bulldozing ... So it’s no surprise that the Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that every year about 5,000 Americans die each year in workplace accidents-92 percent of them men. We hear about the Fortune 500 CEOs, but what about the unfortunate 4,600? Alongside male salaries, perhaps some mention should be made of male sacrifice. Whenever perturbed gender warriors draw up lists of male advantages, they always mention men’s freedom from fear of being attacked. It’s true that women are much more likely to be victims of rape and sexual assault. But men are much more likely to be victims of violent crime as a whole: Consider Campus crime--men may need safe spaces more than women--according to the Bureau of Justice Statistics: Men are twice as likely to be victims of a violent crime on campus.
Look at the overall Murder: Of 12,253 murder victims in 2013, 78 percent were men. Even on the Internet, men face as much or more bullying than women. According to Pew Research, More women than men are sexually harassed (7% women and 4% men), but men are the primary targets of threats (10% men compared to 6% of women).
Let's continue: Here are more facts that challenge the male privilege mantra: Suicide: 77.9% were male, 22.1% female .
Incarceration: 93.3% of federal inmates are male and even when men and women commit the same crime and have similar criminal histories, men receive 63 percent longer prison sentences on average.
Homelessness: it’s estimated that more than 60% of homeless individuals are male. Combat: 85 percent of active duty soldiers are men. Though there are many women serving in the armed services, fewer than 8 percent profess a desire to engage in combat.

Good luck with your essay!
Hope your teacher's not a feminist...
hang on...CHS is not a 'real modern feminist' because she has a 'right wing ideology' Does that mean you can only be a 'real' feminist these days if you are a far left cultural marxist ideologue?
No, you're clearly the one who's being triggered. CHS has described herself repeatedly as a democrat and a liberal. If you view someone like that as 'ultra traditional' then you ver clearly are a far left cultural marxist. Her criticisms address what she sees as exaggerated claims and confirmation bias/poor/ non-existent research. Criticizing faulty reasoning doesn't make one an enemy of feminism. Disagree with what she raises....fine. But hysterically labeling her some kind of ultra right traditionalist just because she disagree with you values is silly. Clearly you have way too big a chip on your shoulder about this. This comment is for the benefit of someone else reading. I will not debate any further...its clearly pointless
There's your lesson ladies and gents. Use the word 'cultural Marxist'. That will trigger the far left fanatics and get them foaming at the mouth and calling you all sorts of names ('alt right' is currently the most fashionable). Everyone who disagrees with them is a right wing nut.... Even if someone protests they are a democrat and a liberal and are in support of feminism and have devoted years of their lives to the feminist cause. You are only allowed to be a feminist UNDER THEIR STRICT LEFT WING CRITERIA. If someone joins the wrong organizations ,speaks with people on the forbidden list, or critiques the core doctrine, then they are a part of the infidel...
I remembered my male priviledge when there was an earthquake in my country and the authorities decided that my female classmates should get out of the class first...
I would be like I want equality I’m leaving with the girls. I hope everyone was okay
Glorioustigereye good luck bet someone put there hands on you for that woman to have a spot
Alexander Corvin exactly I guesse this we should just not care about ladies first then
You are thankless : you had the privilege to stay in classroom and study longer than your female classmates. Lucky you !

Neanderthal Man,
I agree, I'm 19, and I've talked to a veteran from the Vietnam/Korean war (he's my father's neighbor) ... my _GOD_ did that unsettle my nerves. Hillary and Obama seem to be playing games with Russia and other countries right now, which could get us in big trouble. I really don't want to have to fight in a war that my own country unfairly started. If some other country attacks first, then it can't exactly be helped. But my gosh is there a lot of lying and corruption in this government. I joke that even a teenager can act more mature than them. XD
there shouldn't be a woman for president
Apolo why not? It's make great strides for the women's rights movement. Hillary is just not the woman.
My male privilege is that my female friends can hit me anytime they want but if I hit back everyone will start staring at me like I’m a human trafficker. Look how privileged I’m

@@missmack2328 So once babies are born, the man is disposable? Having two people care for and support a child is more advantageous than one just based on simple logic.

You are the sole reason I still somewhat respect feminism. So many people who call themselves 'feminists' are just toxic people who use the term feminist as a protective shield for their man hating bullshit. Thank you for keeping the term feminist, a term of reasonable respect.
+Bloodyravenheart13 At no point was feminism ever a good thing. Its start was an act of subversion, not liberation. More people need to check their history, not their privilege. That's not a direct slight to you, please don't take it that way. It's just that most people don't know where feminism came from, the real causes that allowed it to spread, and the real effects it has had on our society.
CH Sommers should have, and I'm sure in some form, DID exist in the beginning. They would have been drowned out as well in the fevered frenzy of female privilege back then too. At no point were women oppressed. The west could not have done what it has if they were. Women, historically, have raised the children. Did they all raise oppressive males? The idea seems ridiculous if you really spend some time reflecting on it.

‘Male privilege oppresses women’ tell that to my dad who worked manual jobs for 45 years in order to provide for our family and to pay for me and my siblings to go University, for my mother to be able to stay at home and raise us in a good way and to give us a good life, before dying at 53.

SIGMA MALE
Damn who hurt you?
When you're a single male out in a night club, believe me, you don't feel privileged - you feel like you are the mercy of female judgement.
Boy i don't miss those days whatsoever, I feel like I got out JUST in time
Don't go to the club they only take your money.
Graham Black You forgot to mention you paid to get in 😉
Ya know, I realized that recently too. I'm 30 now and I don't really like going to clubs, the girls only dance with other girls they know, and nowadays since the women are in large groups on purpose, you can't really just approach one of them and strike up a conversation before getting white knighted. I feel like women are going to eventually figure it out that our media and modern culture with modern feminism included is leading them to a life where they won't be as happy. A lot of women are starting to experience loneliness now and these women are starting to realize what the cost of their success and independence has given them. While I can respect an independent woman, I feel like these women can start to take some responsibility in their own faults and work on improving them just like we men should be doing too.
@@paullangland6877 You must be a heavy partier or a light thinker bruh at 30 you should know what it is I am going to be 26 soon never stepped in a club and know its not in my favor
Yes, I have so many privileges as a male that:
1.I cannot talk to a child without being called a pedo
2. I cannot show my emotions in public
3. I am forced to go to war and possibly die
4. I cannot defend myself against an agressor if the agressor is a female
5. I have to face female hypocrisy every day and if I contest it I'm am an opressor
6. Have less chance to stay with my children if my marriage ends
7. If i am abused and the female who abused me gets pregnant I can:
-Loose my friends
-Loose my girlfriend
-Loose money
-Loose my job.
That is what you call male "privilege"?
Are you like st*pid? 1. In what s*hit bubble you live in where people will call you a pedo for talking to a child LMAO st*pid weirdo touch some grass 3. Big deal because your country of course is always at war and directly affects you right? Not to mention women can also go to war silly 4. I cannot defend against a female agressor, yes you can if it’s threatening your life, if she’s just trying to slap you or whatever you have more strength(in theory prob you don’t) to just hold her back and finally “if I get abused” a yes 1 compared to 100 cases of sexual abuse 🤓

As the daughter of a construction worker, I just have to thank you for speaking out.
A lot of feminists seem to think that my father has privileges because his job pays a lot, but I know that's not the case.
My grandfather (whom is 59) already has a lot of problems with his body. After he retires at 60, his body is probably going to collapse very quickly because all those years of hard labor made his body need high amounts of physical activity to function.
My father is probably going to be the same way, but despite that he tries to make the most of his life.
People assume that because my father has a daughter at such a young age and because he isn't married that he's a playboy, but he's not.
He goes on dates but doesn't bring them home or go home with them because he doesn't want me to get attached and them suddenly just leaving.
My father thinks a lot about others feelings, and he doesn't deserved to be hated for his gender.
I thank you again for making a sane argument, for standing up for others who would be shamed for doing so.
I am not exaggerating when i say that I almost cried when i read your comment. Your dad is a true hero
This is wholesome
Much respects to your dad.
Construction is a HIGHLY dangerous job, He could DIE, Therefore the pay is higher and is associated with the risks he may face, Things might fall on his head, He may be squished anything can happen, I almost got squashed once luckily i survived as i was loading up the transport vehicle, It was some kind of lift you push and place items on, More than a 1000 kilos, I thought i was toast, So yeah, But despite that i was paid very very very little!
People commonly leave out the fact that the pay is higher for these types of jobs because the risk of suddenly just getting blown up at work is jaw droppingly high. Not to say women can't work these jobs mind you, some do and they're awesome as always
this woman is the only feminist ive ever seen which has some reasoning and isnt accusing men of every problem on earth mainly because she thinks about the positive and negatives of BOTH genders
not really she doesnt adress dating and the utrageous power gap there, no woman ever does, partly because they have it so easy they literally dont understand how hard it is and partly because they are scared of equality !
Toby Marston Then I doubt you've seen Emma Watson's speech on feminism.
xnoluck
No i want equality, its not too much to ask for, why should i work hard when women dont do fuck all cept stay slim and look nice, well i do that and i look nice so i want women, i expect women, if women expect men i can expect women, they call me entitled, but its not entitlement, thats a word they use to dismiss my feelings as unreasonable, its not unreasonable to want equality ! or even not equality just 70/30% id be happy with but it isnt, its about 200/1% thats outrageous and it needs to be adressed, ! just saying work gharder just makes the problem worse ! though i do accept your advice is the best thing i can do because obviously equality isnt gonna happen, so i thank you for the practical advice !
+LadieLydKyd The part that struck me about Watson's speech was how she was confused as to why most PEOPLE had a negative perception of feminism, why most PEOPLE thought that it was based on man-hating. Sargon has a great 10 part video series replying to that confusion.
Watson didn't think about the positive and negatives of both genders. She was confused as to why men weren't flocking to the feminist banner when it "so clearly benefitted them as well". Blinders, much?
g mak
men are never gonna be feminists because women hate feminists, i was a feminist, all it got me was shat on by every woman i ever liked ! , well ok not shat on literally, but repsecting women is the quickest way to be single forever, if you respect women instead of dominating and abusing them you wownt ever get a girl to respect you and if yhy dont respect you your never gonbna get a date with one ! men hate feminism because it tells men they have to be a certain way, and that way means women will disrespect you ! there is no getting round this unfortunatly !
"Why play this game? We are in this together." Quote of the decade. If only people stopped acting like children and listened.

Lmao sorry was waiting to use that one, n yes going further family court is trash.
Saw a thing with a coal mining strike and the women and men worked together as a team.
Now THIS is true feminism. Emphasis on equality, rather than attacking men or enacting revenge on them for what happened in the past.
You want women to have equal rights huh?
AR - 08CS - Robert H Lagerquist Sr PS (1473) women got the same rights as men 60 years ago, and currently have more rights.
This isn't feminism. Feminists don't advocate for equality. Egalitarianism is for equality.
Feminists want the entire male gender re-purposed into live stock feed, which seconds as a fertilizer for corn fields.
IKR not that kill all men bullshit
nope this is licking ass men to receive appoval..
I find it really odd how in magazines and news articles, they talk about companies being lead by gender. A female dominated organization or field is seen as a success, but a male dominated field is seen as a problem.
Megazine only write article for a women like you love to read why it is odd ?
"Now we hear a lot about the Fortune 500 CEOs, but what about unfortunate 4600?"
Absolutely brilliant.
Actually, this specific line made me skeptical. Because it's not only about the 500 CEOs, but also thousands others, even if they're not at the top.
Andronikos It was analogical, for each succesful CEO you have 9 who aren't.
There are more injured workers that are not as unfortunate as the fatalities, than CEO's not at the top, you missed the point entirely.
Andronikos it might have been a year ago, but do keep in mind that "also thousands others" are men that share the same workfield as women anyway, so they are "meaningless" in this specific point.
Its like having 100% of clean cups in one house, with the other house having 1% golden cups and 5% broken cups, then getting sceptical because that house also has 94% clean cups.
The complaint came from women lacking in CEO positions(gold cups), but ignoring the deathly position(the broken cups). Why would the clean cups matter in this argument?

I don't know what school you went to, but it's the opposite for me.
Same as mine my country is sexist as well
The privilege of everybody expecting you to pay in the restaurant, die in wars and do pretty much all the bad and hard jobs?
Yeah, such an exclusive life.
I don't mind dying in a war, that'd be hella lit but being expected to pay everytime when going to a restaurant is pretty gay.
Women pay as well, women go to war as well, and women do the same jobs as men.
No one expects you to pay in the restaurant. Actually, there are more and more women who are against it. But unfortunately the conservative people want you to pay in the restaurant. This is a classical example that feminism doesn’t discriminate men. The right wing politicians do.
I hate modern feminists, but this lady is actually sane!
I can agree with that, but I don't like the fact that she calls herself a feminist. It's like she's still on the same team as those sexist, hateful people.
That's why I shy away from identifying myself as to belonging to any one group. I am not _them,_ I am _me_ - an apple is _not_ an orange!
Well you see, before 3rd wave feminism their were actually decent feminist. And less of crazy feminist. Actually 3rd wave feminism is a cult now.

Don't know why but as a female ,hearing some logic and reason from this gem of a human being is just so satisfying and tear inducing.I literally feel like crying right now because someone actually gets it.
As a man, all I can say is thank you Christina. It appears a fair approach is a dying art form. God bless
Often, people don't consider the plight of little boys.
Little boys are told to be men. They're told to grow up proud and strong, and self-reliant.
They're told to help others, but rely only on themselves. That if they can't do the job, they're not good enough.
But worst of all, they're told that when life is unfair, well... tough. Life is unfair.
We have lived, since the dawn of time, with that idea of what we should be in our heads. And for the most part, we've accepted it. That's just what "men" are supposed to be.
It seems that radfems can't acknowledge that an issue exists until a bunch of people whine and bitch about it every goddamn day, but that is not how men do.
So thank you, Factual Feminist, for speaking out for men. We would speak out for ourselves, but we've been conditioned to be much too proud...
***** Thanks. I've had that on my chest for a while. lol
yes the ammount of time women tell me to stp wining about being miserabole and single and hjust get confident, then they gett angry at me when i say would you tell a girl thats just been raped to stop wining and get confident cuz confident women are less likeyl to get raped and it was her fault she got raped for not being confident, then they get emotional and say stop defending rape ahaha ! some of them really are idiots , but nasty idiots ! also the other thing is men are told by women they want nice but then they go off with the most abusive man they can find, wich is bad but whats worse is the barrage of abuse one faces when you dare to question that women dont like nice men, my go ive never had so much abuse and lies frown at me !
*****
Yeah, in the case of feminists, it's a blame game. I really can't take much of having my entire identity attacked as a whole, especially so being that they falsely accuse me of things I have never done, and am even _against!_ I literally get the sense from them that if I died right then and there, they would have a party over my dead body. It's despicable.
Benjamin Esposti
thats no were near the worst thing about feminist, the worst thing about feminism is all the good men are miserable loanly and want to die because of feminism and all the very worst people on the plannet have all the women falling all over them ! this is directly and 100% because of feminism !
When feminists (particularly radfems) target young boys with their ideology, they are guilty of child abuse; pure and simple.
And they should face the full force of the law.
We men, love women like you.

Tale as old as time
"Only women and children are loved unconditionally. Men are loved under the condition that they provide something." ~Chris Rock
Women have plenty of privileges over men:
1) They live longer, yet women get more funding for medical research.
2) The Law system biases heavily in their favor. They are less likely to be profiled for crimes and more likely to receive a lesser sentence.
3) They are not subjected to policies on some airlines which prohibits solo travelling children from sitting next to men.
4) Men are the 60:40 gender minority at college , but more gender based scholarships and assistance are offered to women
5) Substantially more shops cater for women
6) Women are held up by society in the west as the standard. So much so that it's common for people to address the way they speak when women are around. When a tragedy occurs, you will often hear how many female victims there were, and not men. Or female victims will be highlighted, ie 40 people died, including 10 women
7) Lets not forget Womens privilege of being able to have sex pretty much whenever they want.
8) Women can use their smartphones on the beach without the lifesaver pulling them up and checking they are not taking photos of children.
9) Many organisations are now implementing policies to hire more women giving them an advantage in getting a job at those organisations
There's a lot more I could add
+Jack Frost Or how about, as Based Mom suggests, we not make it a competition of who has it worse off. Let's lead by good example and admit that both men and women have challenges to face as well as benefits.
+Jack Frost need tons of change
+Rex “Mind Lord” Smith
Your right , this should not be a competition. People should just realize that men and women have gender based privileges. The problem though, is that the vast majority of people do not understand that women have privileges over men. If you dont know that, you cannot get to the point of talking about how both genders have privileges . It's instead going to be a one sided conversation if female privileges are not pointed out, and shown that there actually is two sides to the conversation
+Rex “Mind Lord” Smith It cannot be done for two reasons.
1) The majority of people must be made aware of those perks/detriments in order to accept them as a byproduct of a sexually dimorphic species existence. . Now this part is easy enough with people like Christina Hoff Sommers. I mean sure Women's groups will fight truth at every turn, but eventually truth can win out. The real trouble comes from the second part.
2) Having the more privileged group to give up the artificial privilege they have. This means giving up legal and social benefits; that were only made to exist because of the false perception that they were actually oppressed. To be clear you would need the majority of women to become okay with 1) No more mandatory child support, 2) No more educational privilege, 3) No more legal actions like "equal pay acts" and Title 9's, etc etc. To me that seems impossible to achieve.
+Bigpussycat5
Can you also play the same devils advocate for male privileges?
"I think you are seeing advantages that do not really exist or they are not really as cut and dry as you might think."
Do you think that also applies to male privileges?

@Tom I hope your joking, because that's really fucking sexist. You don't want people insulting your gender yet you insult the other gender. And don't tell me to go back to the kitchen because that's so overused.
@@markknight6364 Agreed!
I was bullied by my female classmates sin school, all the way up to finishing high school, they were so cruel, ridiculed me all the time, told me very harmful things, and I couldn't say anything about it beacause it only made the bullying worse. I hated every day I went to school, cried ever day, and even
attempted to take my life twice!
That's why I don't believe men are privileged and women are not, also I don't believe that women are perfect and do no harm while men are born evil.
men never born evil
the thoughts and teach of someone can turn someone into evil.
You’re legend! Such a comfort to hear it from a woman too, lots of people won’t dare debate those things in public.We really need this as a whole, because numbers are sad
I honestly just hate the term "privilege" being used to describe shit. Like when people say white people are privileged because they don't have to worry about police brutality as much as blacks. That's not a goddamn privilege, that's them being actually treated like goddamn human beings versus chattle. Since when was basic human rights a "privilege?"
Women being favored for child custody over men is a privilege, men being significantly less likely to be raped is not. Men not having to worry about childcare leave in their careers is a privilege, women being less likely to be a victim of a violent crime in general is not.
It honestly pisses me off when the regressive left and social justice warriors equate basic human rights to privilege. You know what has to happen to privileges in order to be an equal and just society? They have to be taken away. So their solution is instead of reforming the criminal justice system in our society, its to make whitey get the shit kicked out of them as much as their black brothers? How is that justice again?
+Remlap1223 You are twisting words. This is incredibly pessimistic of you and no sensible and sympathizing individual would ever want that. FYI men are more likely to be victims of violent crimes.
+Johnny Jacobsen
No, he's properly applying words. A privilege is a special right/treatment to give you additional advantages, and he points out that abuses on the other side, aren't someone's privilege. Which may be quite relevant when some wish to close the "privilege gap" by bringing those not abused down to the other's level.
+Remlap1223 This is exactly the problem with the far left (which is rapidly becoming the mainstream left). They conflate human rights with privilege.
sorsocksfake I feel like he's agreeig with the factual feminist. Like the end part. There were mentions of priveledge as priveledges and victimization as victimization. I don't see how she said anything wrong.
+Remlap1223 As a man, I am enjoying my 'no menstruation' privilege.
Wow she has the potential to make the hatred go away...for those who are willing to listen
That's the problem it's an ideology, most don't want to listen any more than a devout Christian wants to hear an atheist give them evidence against the unlikely existence of God. It doesn't fit with their ideology therefore they don't really want to hear it.

I saw a post on Twitter a while back that said, Check your Privilege is used as a means to shut down a discussion. I think they are right on track with that comment.
+KewlImp Indeed. It's actually funny. I was able to earn quite a sum of money (enough so that I haven't had to work since my early 20's - if I play it right I'll be able to just sit around playing games all day even if I for some reaons live until I'm 80, which is unlikely because family history and treating my body very badly) so they could probably call me privileged.
What happens when I check that privilege? Oh, right. Having an AUNT who was friends with the head of a publishing house who was able to get me published in my mid teens with the exact deal with the publisher I wanted so the money could slowly rack up to that point.
And it continues today. I work for one of the game companies I play in a volunteer capacity. Brought on the team in general by a male but at the behest of a woman who then took on a new role and immediately put me on her team specifically. For a game led by 5 females (3 game leads, the head of moderators, and the head of the testers).
My main "privileges" have been purely because of women in higher positions than me, in other words.
Pretty sure that's the opposite of the point they were trying to make, but okay.
This lady is completely underrated and deserves many more views/subscribers. This is amazing, Thank you for clearing up lots of things.
Holy sh*t!!! A talking seal!!
Prof Sommers. A self ordained feminist! Just reiterating facts. Fleeing with the backlash. Tell me some more nice stuff about myself, now that the damage is done!
Very true
I enjoyed my male privilege, when I was forced to serve in the mandatory military service in my country, one year was taken away from my life... While females weren't forced and given choice if they want to volunteer.
Back when I was working as a lifeguard, at a fastfood place and at a bar, I had 1 or 2 women at each place bring up the wage gap in conversation at points. I told them I'd give them 23% of my wages if every time something heavy had to be carried, or something higher up had to be reached, or the trash had to be taken out at night, that they would always have to do it instead of me, and if I could get them to do the occasional task that I disliked by batting my eyelashes at them, an incredibly common and successful tactic that seemingly every girl at least tries. Probably the worst though was the handful of women I encountered throughout my computer science courses, who complained that it wasn't fair how few of them their were and how that somehow made the courses harder for them, and that the men would intimidate them and that it was a "hostile environment" where they were sexually harassed and discriminated against, as well as that being what's posted as fact in all the articles and whatnot on the subject, when those women would constantly take advantage of all the shy and awkward guys that dominated the comp sci environment, being inundated with eager offers every time they announced they were stuck or needed help, even being able to get them to go as far as completely doing their work for them as many of the guys would jump at the opportunity just to talk to a girl without her getting offended and rudely dismissing him just because he wasn't cool or good looking enough. A lot of them would even get free meals just for gracing one of the guys with her divine presence at a cafeteria or restaurant table. The fact that these women not only took full advantage of these guys without a second thought, but then went on to claim that they were somehow a victim in all this and those guys were predators, getting people to feel sorry for them and agree that the above "abuse" they endured entitled them to even more through reparations shows how manipulative, completely self-absorbed and despicable many women are. They're whole "make men do all the work and pay for everything and then pretend we want to do all the tougher work we refuse to do by pretending it's demeaning to be seen as weaker for not doing it" racket they've got going is incredible. They're ability to play both sides of the coin with things like making men pay for dinner and then pretending to be insulted by insisting that implies they're incapable of paying for dinner is manipulation at its finest. And they always keep that ace of their sleeves where anyone who dares question the system even the slightest is immediately and repeatedly labeled a sexist that hates women who is just mad because he can't get any. And don't even get me started on the fact that they can instantly ruin a man's life just by saying "he raped and/or sexually assaulted/harassed me!" Especially since it's entirely the guy's responsibility to make sure no sex is had while both have been drinking.
The only way to fight the system is to either just run away from it or distory it all together. No wonder many men fly from western countries to asian countries with less stupid laws

I don't know if you realized this yet Factual Feminist, but in sociology, they are teaching our peers about all of this. All of the wrongful teachings you brought up and debunked, they are teaching to fresh minds, polluting them.
I can't speak for everyone, but a requirement for me to get my AA includes taking sociology, and the class makes me feel so wrong. I'm a woman, I don't feel oppressed, and I'm personally upset by the fact that they can paint men in such a bad light. These people our our fathers, our spouses, our friends, our children. It's so wrong and I would hope sociology would dissapeared if it can only teach lies to people, misleading people into stigma against certain groups.

Im 23, Im rotting in my apartment, I almost went into financial debt this chrismas and everyone expects me to provide, I worked my ass off for 6 years and got disrespected by both men and women, I go home to an empty apartment everyday, I tried getting a girlfriend and the whole gym thing, Im not that bad looking but apparently im not good enough, Im asked my salary, My height or a whole shopping list of items i need before i get into a relationship, No i dont need a car because i got 2 fine legs to walk on but societal pressure tells me i need a nice one, NO thanks, I got 2 legs, It would be nice with some female company, Before you call me a mysagenist, I would like to share, This account was created for memes, Memes are a way to spread satire images or videos, These are often exchanged between friends for laughs, Now everyone has theyre humor levels, Ok so let me continiue, Ive been through the whole tinder, Meet women loop, 6 years infact while working a dead end job, Ive dressed nicely, Ive done the usual, Some nice cologne, Hair done, Beard done, Nothing, I still come home to an empty apartment, Now im questioning if i am indeed ugly, I dont feel privileged at all, Im scared now to interact with the modern woman in fear of false accusations, I was once called sexist because i wanted to make an amulet for my future girlfriend in class at school, Some green haired feminist said i was a scum and a sexist for even thinking of making something for a woman, This culture is mostly hookup now or a quick fix, I want a relationship and someone to come home to, I want to leave all the Bs at a door when i come home, Hug my wife and kids which seems so far away because the new society of the west trains women they dont need men and are strong without them, I feel without purpose because apparently im not needed, I have blue eyes, Im 6 foot and not too bad looking but i always get rejected, I see online that its okay to spew misandry but misogyny is not, Why is one okay but not the other, Shouldnt both be banned for a harmonious society? Why do people always on the internet feel they need to be opressed, The wage gap has been debunked, Men often work more dangerous jobs and therefore with the risk of the job comes higher payment because he might DIE. I have a feminist sister and once i was eating she said all men are pigs, I didnt understand what feminism or all this crap was back then, I asked why am i a pig? Apparently its the same as all men think of boobs all day, No i dont, I think of needing new socks to wear if they break, I think of the new rc car i want, I think of wanting new friends, I think of wanting a relationship, Sometimes i just think this world needs a cigarette or a joint and chill TF out, Were way too competitive and the hatred doesnt help anyone, What privilege do i have? I dont feel privileged, Im not rich either, Just enough to get by, I do invest in hopes of aquiring wealth so i can escape this western hellwhole where im not needed, Im tired of being descriminated and bullied because i was born with a dick!, Cant i just be myself? Im not hurting anyone by breathing the same air as a female do?, Were both evolved with 2 legs 2 arms a head a torso, A few different parts elsewhere but mostly the same, Height and muscles might be a difference because men and females are biologically evolved different, For example some are built tall, Some are built short, But that doesnt mean they should not be accepted by society, Too many men are alone because they dont meet these toxic beauty standards and yes im gonna advocate for them. Women are fairly more pickier than men when it comes to dating, About 80% of men were rated below average, But they never think, What if this is a cool guy, What is he has some cool hobbies, Great to hang out with, Or a great partner besides looks,
Im getting more and more tired of this society im actually considering moving to asia where women atleast appreciate men, I miss the days before the cellphone where all you needed was to be a good man, Now most women can hop on onlyfans and make millions over an asspic and a few videos whereas TOO MANY men rot in a factory waiting for judgement day or contemplating suicide, No there is no male privilege, If you want to be equal to us, BE THAT! But dont try to be superior, I see most sites where men can talk about theyre problems are being shut down while misandry pages are being celebrated, I DIDNT ASK FOR ALL THIS, When i grew up ive always been fed the lie you can be and do anything in life, My parents says im just lazy because i cant find a girl, NO! Im just tired, Tired of trying, Tired of thinking im good enough and waking up to new fresh hell every morning, Some people men and women are privileged in the sake of wealth, Not everyone is the 1% that takes all the cake, Not all men are models either and not all men can spew out 7 million dollars a day and drive a nice sportscar and come home to his mansion, You gotta question, Is she there for the money or him? Male suicide is more frequent than female suicide, And tiddy cancer awareness seems to be more socially accepted than talking about mens health and suicide, Hence why i never see mens suicide awareness when i enter a store, Only things that apply to a woman, Women also have it easier in dating, Men chase by instinct hence why we have simps, Women use these simps for money, Favours, Onlyfans or whatnot, He may just be a backup guy for a short time so the woman can look for a better option and leave him after draining his wallet, I as a man cannot do that as then im a mysagenist, You want equality? Then we might aswell do what a female can do too, Maybe im short on cash and need a handout, Were equal right? This inflation hit hard, Im surviving, My cat is well fed, He was homeless and i took him in, So are males privileged? No? Just because women had less rights back then doesnt mean they have less now, Infact women are more privileged than men, THEY always have safetynets, For example they can use simps for money instead of ending up on the streets, They can pretend to love a rich man for money, They can wait for an old man to die and she will be celabrated, Could a man do this? NO? Does a woman have to work a dead end doomer soulcrushing job? NO she has financial stabilty everywhere including the goverment, You want to be equal? Fine then dont complain about men have it better or try to be superiour, BE EQUAL, Even tho men and women are built different with different body physiology and strenght, Most men are also taller but i guess that is a privilege too, Now you got more to complain about while my taxes goes to single mothers who kicked theyre husband out because she wants to control the kids and the man working himself to death barely being able to see them, Is he privileged? No the woman will keep saying things between his back and he will get hate from the around peers, A woman doesnt even need evidence to sentence a man to jail, She just have to yell, THERES THE RAPIST, Gone he is and his chances are ruined, The world will know and now he is done for, I saw a soulcrushing post where this happened and the man killed himself after, Is suicide male privilege too? We are made to be providers for a family, Without that, Some men feel without purpose, Im not interested in hookup culture or male models, I just want to be me and accepted for who i am, Regardless of money and status, I want to feel human, Connection and love, There is no wonder men are giving up on western women, Im thinking of moving to asia find myself a traditional wife and starting a family where i atleast know she loves me for me and not my financial status or a sports car should i aquire all that, Theres little to none female rewards in todays society and a woman has 1000 simps to choose from whereas i tried tinder, Ok looking guy, Not even a reply! Dont start on my personality, I can easily hold a conversation if i want to, I can make people laugh but what im not okay with is that the new western feminazi society bashes men and tells us were not needed, Society would collapse if it werent for men breaking theyre backs every damn day to feed your bitching asses,
Thank you for listening and have a great day! 23 year old doomer.

Exactly. Life's not fair, for anyone. Being any kind of person has its pros and cons and turning it into a game "Who's the MOST disadvantaged" is a supreme waste of time and energy.
But I suppose it's easier to whine about other people than try and improve your own life.
+Zeke Freek It's not a waste of time for women. They use it. It works. They win more and more by using it. One cannot but admit they are smart to use it. They would be stupid not to. The only thing that would make it stupid is if men got to use it too. They realize then it would become stupid. The goose would stop laying the golden eggs (never ending societal support, resources, government programs, police and courts all on their side).... and the new goose would be bound only by evidence based statistics and guiding principles of fairness, and not kneejerk reactions to female whining damesel-effect. That is why they cannot allow that to happen and crush attempts to draw attention to the statistics in this video.
+Zeke Freek But what are they going to do if they can't even do what they are sooooo good at?

Thank you for using the accurate word “sex” to describe men and women instead of the vague, ever-changing word “gender.”
@Joz Yes, you can have only 2 sexes and bunch of genders. Gender is also gramatical thing - for example Slavic languages have 3 genders - feminin, masculin and neutral. Example: in Czech is book (kniha) feminin, picture (obraz) masculin, pig (prase) neutral. Some languages have even more of genders
@Joz Yes, rarily people can have 47 chromozomes instead of 46, it always leads to disorder like Down syndrome etc. . They usually don't have descendets so this mutation ends up as strongly inconvenient so it dies off
@Joz people with 47,XXY are almost exclusively male, the extra chromosome isn't indicative of a third gender or sex, it is a rare genetic aberration which usually leaves the sufferer with either greatly diminished reproductive capacities or none at all, along with a host of other physical and mental disparities and unlike intersex individuals, not preventable if caught during pre-natal care.
The notion that these anomalies are indicative of there being more than just two sexes is just patently and demonstrably false.

No one controls which gender they are born as

Make the most of your gender and use all of your advantages to be the best person you can be instead of wasting your life complaining about the existence of men

A lot of times women have equality they must have more than men.

Say "I respectfully disagree. Goodbye forever" and then do a mad burnout as you leave.

Ma'am, you have my utmost respect for being rational in this highly sensitive discussion. Thank you for posting this.
I remember my male privilege when the staff at primary school got all the boys to go to an assembly during our lunch break because some doofus went and pissed in a bucket and they wanted to shame us all innocents over it. The girls didn't need to go to the assembly though, which is why I'm privileged as a result of my gender.

I wish she had mentioned the draft. as a man I am required to sign up for the draft and go fight a war I don't want. I can go to jail for not complying. it's called draft dodging. as far as I know, in the US women aren't required to serve in a draft.
So two article to read:
www.sss.gov/Registration/Women-And-Draft/Backgrounder-Women-and-the-Draft
thehill.com/blogs/floor-action/senate/280767-senate-set-for-showdown-over-women-in-the-draft
to simplify, according to the Supreme Court, as long as the DOD keeps women out of combat (fighting) Women don't have to register. However, if women are allowed to fight, then all it would take is a Court case (assuming Congress doesn't do it instead) to change the draft rules.

+Ms. Myself
then why do misandrist call themselves feminists?
+Ms. Myself
I'm pretty sure when a 99% of the people who call themselves something but then do whatever they're doing shouldn't really stop them from being it... its a no true Scotsman fallacy. neither of us can stop them calling themselves feminists and they will represent feminists whether u like it or not. I'm also guessing your female like the majority of he brainwashed feminists are. not that I'm calling you brainwashed
+Ms. Myself
agreed. calling white women oppressed in America meanwhile ignoring the women in Muslim run countries like Saudi Arabia. these spoilt brats are jokes
but the draft hasn't been invoked since the ford administration. this makes me fear that mra's don't check their facts any better than feminists.
What the stats don't tell you is that women are rarely allowed to work in dangerous professions, nor are they mentored like men are. Plus most of the abuse that men are suffering from comes primarily from other men. So the feminists still have a valid point!
I am, most concerned about the lack of physical intimacy that most men don't get. This is causing problems that are affecting them to their very core. Also I am one of the few females that suffered from ADHD with hyperactivity as a child. And boys tend to suffer a lot more from that as well. The difference is that I was less likely to punished for it as a boy was. I always felt really sorry for the boys who did, and i felt really sorry for the boys that came from really broken homes. They were not allowed to have emotional problems on the scale that women were. So I can attest that schools really need to have more brakes, and boys need more physical out lets, including access to violent sports. Men are expected to solve their problems with their fists.
We need to dissect these problems and start helping most genders out! instead of using the whole, "well males have it just as rough so get over it" mentality. This mentality doesn't help anybody!!!
Dv against men by women is Statistically still high
It's women who need to check their privilege.
You forgot one other important risk that men face - head injury due to banging their head into the wall after trying to explain this to women. *edit - *some* women
@akshay Viswambharan if you’re rich, I’d advise not making it obvious to your partner until you marry them... if they marry you and they think you’re middle class, that is a good sign their not a gold digger. Also, when you do marry them, make sure they are aware that your money isn’t just free game... budgeting is a great tool.
after long explaining, they just reply by "dont mansplaining",
I definitely know the feeling 😂
and to simps
ye
the patriarchy doing a terrible job at being a patriarchy
Yeah... I want a word with the inept dude who started it -- we're gettin screwed.
This lecture should be taught in every class in U.S and U.K.
THIS is feminism! Not trying to make women superior but trying to achieve rights as EQUALS to men, congratulations you earned my subscription
If men are disadvantaged in some way, it's men's fault, but if women are disadvantaged, it's,... men's fault.
Thanks for the hard work Christina! Also, the production values on these videos has improved. It's very nice. :)
Holy expletive, Batman!
I've never been able to sit through an entire video that has "feminist" in the title. This was a first. I appreciate this lady's courage for putting conviction above the threat of reprisals, which she will undoubtedly experience from 3rd wave, selective statistic using feminists. Hats off, dear lady.
Holy shit a feminist that actually uses logic and facts? Impossible.
I once had a teacher who was a radical feminist, she treated all of her male students horribly simply for being boys , she made openly racist and sexist remarks in the classroom and is still working in education to this day.
For me i got one teacher who just didnt care
Girl boy what gender your gonna get a - on your grade if u dont preform good 💀
you, wonderful lady have earned my respect. which is difficult just from viewing only one video. it means a great deal to me as one of those men in a dirty, dangerous profession you refer to.just in the simple act of acknowledgement you show more thoughtfulness than any other woman who is a self described feminist that I have ever had the pleasure of listening to.
The carpenters, farmers, road pavers and the like are the unsung heroes of human civilization.
carpenter here
Maintenance worker hete
If she calls herself a feminist - I would have NO PROBLEM calling myself one... Massive fan.
+MarkMash17 She does, because she is. More feminists should be like her.
+MarkMash17 Same here, the term really puts me off, but she gives it a sense of logic and reason.
+Natalie Childs logic and reason are my favourite two words
I much more enjoy the term humanist, I feel she not only represents feminism in the way it was intended to be as a movement of women to gain equality. In my opinion the current world we live in, we need more humanists as all peoples face struggles and injustices.
My 5th grade life (real story):
Me: *says one sentence to my friend while we’re walking to Phys Ed*
Teacher: BE QUIET.
Girls: *talk more than I have in my entire lifetime*
Teacher: *smiles and waves*
Later when we get to Phys Ed…
*Me and my friends talking about what just happened*
Girls looking at me and my friends: *grin like they just won the lottery*
Later that day…
*My friends talking a little too loud in the bathroom* (we have loud voices, okay?)
Teacher: *goes to the bathroom door and yells at us for being too loud*
The girls bathroom: *louder than than Mumbai, India*
Teacher: *does nothing*
Me: good ol’ male privilege, am I right bro?
Yeah, good ol’ male privilege.
Thank you. You are pointing out issues nobody wants to acknowledge. Keep fighting the good fight, and always know that although we can't directly support you for fear of retaliation, men are in your debt.
I have been a fan of Christina Hoff Sommers since I randomly read an article about her being shouted down by a group of college brats and their gutless professors at a speech she was giving at least 10 years ago. I immediately bought her book “The War against Boys” (so damn good) along with her ensuing publications and I follow her on CZcams, etc.. She is a huge hero in my book and she has endured the cowardly rocks that get thrown at her by people who’ve never been in a real fight in their life. She stands tall & tough and men owe her a lot! This particular video is a “straight, no chaser” mini-explanation of why men need to wake up and take note of what’s going on around them. Guys, acquire knowledge and calmly express your rebuttal to those elements of society that have told you to shut-up! Do it for the guys that came before you and for the ones that are coming after you. Thank you Dr Sommers for your courage and your character.
YOU CAN EASILY TELL THAT SHE'S A CLASSIC 2ND WAVE FEMINIST - MUCH LOVE!!!*
As a man I so privileged
I have the privilege to be physically abused by my partner and I have the privilege of going to jail if I defend myself.
I have the privilege not being able to see my children if me and a former partner can’t agree on custody outside of court.
I have the privilege to be accused of SA and harassment with no evidence, I have the privilege of proving my innocence and still losing everything I’ve ever worked for.
I have the privilege of having to stay behind while women escape first in a crisis.
I have the privilege of being told I’m manslpaining when I’m talking about my opinion on a topic.
I have the privilege of my feelings not being taken seriously when I’m at the lowest point of my life.
I’m SOOO privileged indeed!
Ikr, radical feminism are terrible, they have no clue what they are talking about.
Ukrainian men need to check their privilige?
"Or sororitizing, as I prefer to say" Gosh, you're adorable
No, Women need to check their privilege.
I'm glad this is coming from a woman who has had the privilege of experiencing "the other side"
Same
You are the first real feminist I have seen on the Internet, the first who actually care for equality over matriarchy. I would still prefer to be called Egalitarian but hopefully people like you will take the word 'feminist' back from the radicals we see today.
Wow actual reasoning. is this really the internet? I must be in a parallel universe. we need more of this speading around virally on FACEBOOK.
I remember once in school when girl punched me hard in the face and everyone was laughing, i pushed her little harder and i was called in principal's office and suspended for 3 days for fighting. Girl on the other hand was seen as victim and was comforted by everyone. I really need to check my privilege man, i got to skip 3 days of school, was suspended and got dirty looks by everyone.
Great video tho :)
I had an interesting debate with a woman on the dating app Bumble. Despite being a self proclaimed feminist who is seeking casual hookup culture, she still expects actual dates and "chivalry".
At one point I asked her point blank why a man would take her out on paid dates knowing she was sleeping with a variety of men. To that she responded "You sound like a selfish douche." Says the woman who wants to have her cake and eat it too. 🤣
*FINALLY FINALLY FINALLY - A REAL ACTUALLY FACTUAL FEMINIST WHO DOES THE NAME PROUD FOR A CHANGE!!!!*
I was going to like this but it's at 69 likes right now and I think that's some sort of crime.
My favorite feminist. One that actually uses reason and logic before saying anything. Love this woman. Keep up the good work on behalf of and in spite of Feminists.
I think everyone deserves love and understanding.
But it does feel nice not to be hated once in awhile.
You sum this up pretty neatly and it makes me happy there are factual feminists as well. Most still think we live in "the patriarchy" instead of just saying we live in different hierarchies which are either patriarchal or matriarchal. So, why even make the distinction anymore!
It's petty!
Good job on a balanced point of view. 👌
finally, an actual, by definiton "feminist"
please accept all my respect!
also, your voice is sweet and soothing
love it
Dio Brando she looks like Hillary with a better voice. Less shrill
Why are you here, shouldn't you be making cherry donuts?
Wow an actual logical thinking feminist that's a nice change
Yeah it's a shame she's such a rarity though.
They're not particularly rare, you just have to look for the moderates of the second wave. Trouble is, the third wave fucked it up so bad, most are too embarrassed to call themselves feminists anymore.
good thing is the third wave cannot appeal to the minds of the masses, not with all these fucked up ideas they bring up. This is all a little sideshow for humanity, if these kinds of ideas were put to practice, we men would not allow it and we would backlash women for it.
I’ve checked: My privilege is fully functional.
So refreshing to hear a balanced view without put across without any chants or screaming!
