- EVENT: How the Sexual Revolution Created Identity Politics bit.ly/2lIp0jJ
The #MeToo movement has the potential to correct long-tolerated abuses and to lead to a new era of understanding and respect between men and women -if it doesn't get hijacked by gender activists. AEI scholar Christina Hoff Sommers gives insight to how the movement should and shouldn't proceed if it wants to make progress.

why is it OK for a accused man's name to be splashed across media, but the female accuser gets to remain anonymous?
accusations do not equate guilt.
MGTOW Texan Absolutely. If a man is falsely accused, HE is the victim.
If a woman won't put her name on the accusation, I see no reason to take it seriously. If she took decades to get around to making the accusation, so there is no way to get physical evidence or witnesses, I see no reason to take her seriously; if the man was so dangerous, how did she justify the risk to other women caused by being silent so long?
Yes, the correct terms are accuser and accused until the event has been investigated and it's been determined that he did it, she lied, or there is no way to know.
because listen and believe... (women)
and we all know
women never lie...
(sarcasm)
Why should victims of rape be subjected to the public knowing who they are? Do you understand that rape is a terrible, traumatic and degrading experience to survive and not just a sexual experience?
A whole topic explained. Complete with all information needed to understand it. In just 5 minutes, calmly and with no rush. Truly a healthy brain snack.
u wot m8 Her rationality has restored all my faith in humans.
Honestly it's a REALLY simplified explanation and it barely even mentions what the "metoo" movement was about in the scope of Hollywood and the allegations of harassment. It's basically a long version of "please don't be jerks", which is fine, but nowhere near 'complete'.
She did mention harassment in the article, and did not need to go on about it anymore, it's pretty clear what the movement is about from that knowledge, and in my opinion, going on about it would be unnecesary. Then she concludes with her message. Short and to the point, I do not understand your grievance.
When do we talk about "toxic femininity"
wonderful1ism that’s the only thing that’s toxic... look at the world since feminism started the divorce rate has skyrocketed and it’s mostly women that file for divorce.. and that has resulted in countless broken homes and little boys are being chemical castrated and paraded around in dresses and sexualized before they hit puberty.. Now that’s toxic... men being men is not..
Dona Zeigler stating that only “one” side is toxic is toxic in itself. That’s a cop out for people who want to pretend they’re perfect. It’s not cute.
david mulligan Why wouldn’t it happen?
Super were talking about men & women not the taliban lol... next thing you know we’re talking about Oreos and Disney plus. Let’s not get out of subject lol. Both men and women have things to work on. Some more than others of course. But toxic traits are very individual like hygiene. But I could definitely never say there’s no man alive that isn’t toxic lol. There’s a group of them for sure. But what’s really wrong with people in general is everyone’s hormones are unbalanced.
Feminists are disgusting
Too late, Christina. Knowing what I know about #Metoo, having been accused of a sexual advance in a "He said, she said" situation, I'm not putting myself at risk. That means, no office Christmas parties, no formal dinners, no presences on the dance floor, no office banter.
It also means that if you break down on a rainy night, call a mechanic or a taxi. I'm not putting myself at risk.
This is the only way a man can protect himself.
Seriously, did "Grace" - who gets to keep HER anonymity, think Aziz Ansari was going to kill her? Get rea.
I'm disappointed that Damon apologised. No one should ever apologise for doing the extremely necessary work of standing up to bullshit.
If anyone should have apologized it should have been Minnie Driver. She insulted every woman, no every person that has been a victim of violent sexual assault like rape.
I support metoo, but don't support believeallwomen
He can't afford to do anything about it, those idiots will destroy his career & turn him into a pariah.
@@matthewatwood8641 hello
@@OkaySoShit Hello
The founder for the MeToo movement has allegations made against her
Should she receive the same treatment as other accused?
No she shouldn't, but that's because the accused should not be mob-judged in the first place. Due process is needed.
exactamundo
@Johannes Liechtenauer pretty sure she agrees dude. read her comment.
@@jennybrown5302 what about all those men who are being unfairly punished merely because they are men? Take for example Aziz Ansari who had his career put in jeopardy over a "bad date" in which the woman who accused him had made moves on him. A lot of men have either lost their jobs or had their careers threatened thanks to the metoo movement. It's time this country gets back to being fair and just for all genders and generations. No more of this picking out random people to blame in order to destroy them. No more waiting decades to come forward with claims that may or may not be 100% proven.
@@steveboone1498
And what is the name of the woman who complained about her date with Ansari? She's anonymous. She might never have been with Ansari and yet been able to destroy him. And THAT's the problem. Anyone can make baseless charges and the accused is hung without a trial.
I agree! Women if we want total and absolute EQUALITY, then we too can’t be allowed to use sexism to our advantage! It doesn’t mean history didn’t treat females horribly, unequal, etc. than our male counterparts, however women, and I mean the pathetic excuses for women that abuse movements like “me too” have zero right to use accusations, witch hunts and so forth to frighten others into submission. Matt Damon is a sweetheart and is right on point. Notice how it takes a large group of morons to ban together to scare him into recounting his original, caring thoughts. He wasn’t insulting victims of rape, true victims! No he was drawing a big, fat, obvious line between a pat on the back or butt to full on rape not being one in the same. Victims of rape would be and guaranteed are offended at the media and women in support of rape being described something as minor as accidentally walking into another person, rape is horrendous and should never be compared to a brat on the news complaining someone accidentally elbowed her in her chest! Shit like this makes women in general look bad, ppl follow a movement because it’s a fad and not for the meaning and potential positive outcome of banning together for the right reasons, not to abuse the system! That’s shameful and ladies like that need to wake up, get a life, be a decent person and stop making excuses for their bad behavior by leaning on a movement and hurling harmful accusations whenever it’s beneficial to themselves. They’re not representing women’s equality, they’re taking advantage of an opportunity to benefit personally... Selfishly!
Louder for the ones at the back please!
#metoo is a witch hunt. If you support it, you're a monster, asfat as I'm concerned. Feminists are enemies of humanity & feminism needs to end.
Story treated females horribly??? What do you mean?
The fact that women's life was mainly in feeding children or house, it doesn't mean that they were deumanized for this.
Of course there was abuses, but history has killed MUCH more men than women .
If men aren't allowed to be apart of the conversation then how would anyone expect men to change their ways? How do you expect to change someone's mind when you don't even allow the opposition to present their best talking points? In my experience, the people who deny other's right to speak often have the weakest argument because their views aren't strong enough to stand up to scrutiny.
I deal with the public on nearly a daily basis. Been in the same job for 16 years. When i started it was drummed into us that you greet all customers with a smile and greeting, and give the best service we were capable of. Until last year. Now we don't smile at women. Now we limit our interactions with women to the bare minimum. Now we try not to even look at them. It's gotten a lot colder in the last few months, and the customers hate it. But it's a case of damned if you do, damned if you don't. So the great wall of silence is being built.
Daniel Higgins
And this is a great example as to why the Me Too campaign needs to back off.
You’re letting them win if you shut your mouth.
Keep smiling. Keep being courteous and respectful. If some bitch scowls at you for wishing her a nice day- roll your eyes and keep going. No rational boss would fire you for being friendly to a customer.
The #MeToo movement WILL be rejected by society. I’m a woman, and I denounce it 100%- and many more are doing it too.
Human interaction is normal and natural. Withholding it is toxic, not only to your mental and emotional health, but to society overall too.
Don’t let them win. Just smile and continue to be kind to everyone.
Your missing the point though. This movement wasn't the starting point. it was the straw that broke the camel's back. It was the culmination of hundreds of things over the last decade that this has all been leading too. Maybe now it's time to start #EnoughIsEnough or maybe #YouWinWeAreLeaving
Just Kylie It's not that easy, though. If a woman feels "harassed" or "preyed on" in today's social climate, she can get a man fired instantly with just an accusation. It's safer to be cold and perceived as aloof or somewhat rude than to be accused of imagined sexual harassment.
Me, too. Me, too. Who cares if it's true? I don't care. Nor do you. Me, too. Me, too.
This woman needs her own youtube channel. I respect her opinions because they are bssed on facts.

@david mulligan Amen.
"Please let's not allow it to be hijacked by delusions of Gender Armageddon." Sorry Ms. Sommers, as much as I respect you, I have to say... that's exactly what the #MeToo movement was from the start.
People with delusions of grandeur have turned it into a clown show.
Like everything else
What a joke. Another feminist argument that everyone is sick and tired of. "oh but feminism stands for equality" "oh but me too movement is only to help women share their stories and stand up against harassment" stfu. Even if these movements were for a good cause, guess what, like everything in this world, it has a bad side or a bad effect too. 3rd wave feminism is literally women supremacy and me too movement even if it did amazing stuff which i agree with, why can't you agree that it has its own side effects which are horrible for men and women?
100% witchhunt. A legitimate movement needs to have some coherence and logic, which the meetoo mob utterly lacks. When someone is trully harrassed, they should report it to the police as quickly as possible.
that statement shows how ignorant you are and the idiotic notion that all rape accusations are taken seriously
but shame prevents a lot of reporting from both sexes
@@juliancalero8012 Not to mention if they don't even know if it was assault or harassement for years. On the other hand people can make claims to it as well and we should just believe it?
@@aronnemcsik we should believe any victim while asking questions to see if it's true, male or female, it we blindly believe then we get situations like the one Johnny Depp is in
@@juliancalero8012 yeah I followed that one. My problem is that I witnessed a case that was similar. A Voice Actor (Vic Mignogna) had a case where he allagedly harassed a college of his. the problem is that the woman who made the accusation contradicted herself in the deposition and it was nasty since he lost a bunch of roles
Phil: "Hey Susan would you like to get a cup of coffee some time?"
Susan: "I suppose. Just please promise me that you won't kill me."
Phil: "Never mind."
"Telling men as a species to shut and listen - that isn't progress - it's sexism!" - Like a cool wind to my soul... Thank God for people with a good head on their shoulders and some common sense.
This is so spot on. It is so easy to take something to far and turn something that could do a lot of good into something that is destructive and dangerous. Communication, moderation and common sense are the keys to making the changes that are needed to make everyone feel safe and heard. By the way, I've heard from more than one man that said he felt pressured into sex when he didn't want it by a female (yes that can happen) so this is equally important for both sexes.
Meetoo is now just a stick to beat men with. It’s being swung by small minded people who feel a flush of power in their bellies and like it too damn much.
jasperGB LMAO because your avatar fits with the comment.
no wonder marriage is at a 93 year low & this metoo bowel movement man hating entitlement ridden gold diggers will further that decline

@LuciusEsox1 Africa is safe. Just dont bring them here.
Defend Liberty lol
@maya moon white men? i'm latino and I think the same: you can't expect to find a good partner in a society that teaches women that being selfish, acting arrogant, disrespecting men that don't kiss your ass (while having sex with simple minded dicks for their looks) and having no empathy towards people that don't praise your ego is "empowering". You can have all the thoughts and ideas you want, but understanding that some of them might be wrong is what being mature is all about.
In the words of this one animal guy on tv" handling animals is easy, at least they just want to eat you, but humans...they pretend to be your friend first"
Thank you for using laser-sharp intellect to dissect controversial topics without ranting like you are unhinged.
At least she speaks in a calm and sensible manner. I will listen to some more of what she has to say.
#MeToo
Most adults pronounce the "#" symbol as POUND - So having a movement with the tagline of #MeToo - Think about how it sounds!
I thought they used the # to
identify with their weight
David M hahahahah pound me too so I can sue
Matt should have stood his ground.
Matt still wanted to star in movies and get paid. from a logical and financial standpoint, he did what he needed to do. he was just deluded into believing he had a leg to stand on in the argument, overstepped his boundries, realized the mistake and backtracked.
He would have lost one movie, but how many movies has he made, and how many millions of dollars has he made? I stand by my point of view. He should have stood his ground and not given these people 1 inch. He would have made some people upset but gained the respect of many more.
summer20105707 he had no choice. His career was on the line. He lost millions of dollars and 4 movie roles and counting
They often edit out bits of interviews to make things sound more controversial e.g. if you elaborate so it sounds more reasonable they can edit that to make it sound worse and hard to prove that they edited it out. E.g. if one said a warning first before being fired from a job if it’s a pat on the bum which occasionally Here Australian football and Rugby (League and Union) players do it to each other sometimes to say lets do this! Or well done. (Usually pat on the back or head but occasionally the but and definitely not sexual.
Can’t speak for other countries but in the last 25 years or so, in some offices and in retail if a woman does it to non assertive men even in front of others she knows she’ll get away with it, where as if a man just puts his hand on her shoulder let along pat on the bum, he knows she’ll probably report it, while many women touch men’s arms when they make a point. Double standards...
It's a sad day for feminism that Christine Hoff Sommers mainly gets the praise of vehement anti-feminists and MRA types, while most self-described feminists ignore her, and denounce anymore with a bigger megaphone who expresses similar ideas to her.
No. It's not a "sad day". It's an indicator of how badly feminism has lost its way, how narcissistic, how petty, how dishonest. Christina hasn't shifted anywhere. Feminism has completely lost its mind, particularly under intersectionality, where victimhood is celebrated, and the previous "empowerment" mantra is now some dog whistle for the alt-right or somebullshit.
Having grown up with abusive men and wife beaters, I am very aware of male on female violence. However, when I questioned calling the violation of grabbing a woman's butt "sexual assault" (as in numerous news headlines) as being extreme wording (and belittling actual rapes and assaults) people accused me of defending butt grabbing, or thinking of doing it myself, and I got shouted down and told to shut up. Calling everything "assault" just makes everything the same, which is absurd. Having seen and experienced assaults in my life, as well as uncomfortable, unwelcomed touching, I don't like either... but I feel there are important differences. Why can we not admit this?
I did not know you were out there. Great information! I wished I heard you sooner. Keep it up!
#MeToo is going to be yet another movement for bashing men. Not to bring in an era "understanding and respect".
Not only have men been told that a woman can get drunk and not be responsible for her actions. (how many men get away with that one?). But now, despite obvious enthusiastic participation in a sexual encounter. Men are now required to anticipate her post coitus desire to say "no".
Alan J there was a great Dave Chappele skit called "The Love Contract"...
1:28 What that murder statistic does NOT take into account is the way that women murder. Women tend to kill via subterfuge; they poison their male victims over a long period of time, so it's ALMOST NEVER reported as a murder. In addition, even IF a woman is taken to trial for the murder of a man, most often, the judge dismisses the case because it's making the woman cry to talk about it.
There was a case in Canada where a woman hired an assassin TWICE to kill her husband. The second assassin was an actual police officer, who had recorded her on tape AND on video telling him to kill her husband, yet the judge threw out the evidence because it was upsetting the woman.
So, yeah, it's very important to talk about statistics and what they really mean.
It's also interesting how often historical women who were ruthless rulers or outright murderers are so often rehabilitated as helpless victims or righteous avengers.
@@paulgibbon5991 no one commented on your take, this is a male weakness, getting past the hurt and moving on. Women hold for life and scream, men move on.
Thank God for this woman. I am a man. I never knew my father, I was raised by my mother with two sisters and I have a daughter. Everyone I love is a woman. I have long considered myself an ally to the feminist movement, however this new hysterical wave of sensationalism that has hijacked feminism has shaken my resolve. This sort of discourse will push valuable male sympathizers away and create a toxic reactionary force of sexism that will be even worse. Please hear this woman's words.
Yes indeed. I agree with you! It's so grounding and calming to hear you speak about all of this. Finally something that sits right with me, so thank you for doing this. I have one question I would love for you to expand on - So with a pat on the butt at work and putting it in the same grouping as rape, what I want to discuss is the idea is that it stems from the same place of having ownership over a women's body and so to untie that thinking where people think they can just inappropriately touch a woman. So I suppose that is why people got fired up about what Matt Daymon said, because women are fed up of people feeling there is no problem in just touch you in inappropriate ways. Of course a pat on the butt is different to a rape, but I just wonder what you think about that in terms of where it all stems from? And how we can talk about it? It is complicated as of course people are tactile and friendly and that shouldn't be stopped. But then there is a line where you shouldn't be patted on the bum - and where does that thinking come from?
Men have a dilemma as they're meant to form relationships and take the initiative, but commit “sexual harassment” if they misjudge a woman's interest. Yet I don't see much discussion from that perspective in the mainstream media.
Essentially, men are in a no-win situation in that they're considered Peter Pan man-children, wimps, etc. if they don't show interest and take initiative, but can be considered doing anything from harassment to sexual assault if they misjudge a woman's interest.
I think that that initiation is what me too in its disingenuous form tries to eradicate. And I do not use eradicate lightly.
No dilemma we just do a sex robot
As much as I understand the need for justice. It should be fair justice. I also understand the emotional reaction to these kind of things and I feel like a lot of Feminists don't understand that most men are actually wholly against rape and sexual harassment and would actively fight if not for the broad brush strokes that are currently being aimed at - let's face it - half the population of the planet. It doesn't help anything or anyone.
It is a crime and while our systems of justice are flawed it's the best we have.
Well, justice isn't really justice if it isn't fair, now is it.
James Carmichael Justice is inherently fair I think. But such is the excess of feminism and other "progressive" developments and over heard conservative rhetoric that the understanding has become blurred. I would substitute the word punishment for justice in your comment and day we are looking for a just punishment.
Justice should be tempered with mercy.
We've got to start prosecuting substantial, self-serving lies with all the commitment reserved for rape, because the epidemic of lies is women raping men. A woman lies during a divorce, alleging child abuse, spousal abuse, or "marital rape"? Prosecute her for libel, slander, defamation, perjury if you think you can prove it. It will only take a few high-profile convictions to put a major chill on the epidemic of lies.
And never vote for a feminist, male or female, ever. After every woman in the Senate participated in ostracizing Al Franken rather than allow him a hearing before the Senate ethics committee, I do not believe any woman is qualified for any position in government. Here we had some of the most educated and capable women, elected Senators, and when they found it expedient they had no problem at all subverting constitutionally guaranteed justice and substituting "social media justice", which isn't justice at all.
This isn't about justice. This is some authoritarian power play that uses public shaming to discriminate a gender. There aren't any courts, no law enforcement, no charges. Just "online accusation" = ruined career, no proof required. It's the digital version of screaming "WITCH" in front of the church in Salem.
“Telling half the species to shut up and listen isn’t progress, it’s sexism.”
I just stumbled upon this. What a breath of fresh air. I am a second wave feminist (born 1943) who stopped paying attention when the broad based movement was taken over by what we now call Identity Politics, some time in the late eighties. I am also a free speech fanatic and Facebook addict. With the increased noise level around all manner of privileges I am starting to pay attention again. Thank goodness for CZcams, so far at least.
The movement was hijacked from almost the moment it was born and its pathetic. There is no fixing it, imo.
This movement is nothing new it is the same thing that has been going on for years, every 7 to 10 there is this thing were some woman accuses some big name man of rap or sexual harassment and the it gets promoted but ultimately turns out she was looking for attention or money. The only reason why this blew up was be cause of social media today.
The evidence has shown that sexual harassment has gone down alot int the years. If you look at the men being accused it is all mostly older men in their 30s for things that happen over a decade ago. 20 years ago getting woman drunk and then sleeping with her was not rap but no it is, does this mean every man in their 40s that did that back then should be charged by todays laws? NO. You listen to many of these stories about woman being sexual harassed or raped and many of them turn out to be the man said something she did not like or that she said yes to sex but only because she did not want to seem like a bitch.
There are real harassers out there and just as many of them are woman too, but you cannot find many cases of younger men in their 20 being charged with sexual harassment because these guys are learning not to deal with woman as people but woman as things to avoid.
FallenSnowWolf Yeah, dude, getting someone drunk and knowing they'll be more likely to consent is totally rape (if she just got drunk on her own that's a different story, still not considered full consent.) And only having sex to not seem like a bitch is horrible (not sure if that fits in the metoo movement but it's fucked up). Don't do it unless you actually want it.
bawoman I was fucking pissed the instant it trended.
How shitty it must be for the woman who called out weinstein. All these other women HAD to turn on of the most fucked up incidents into something about them. How many people even remember her?
Could you imagine being at a funeral for a relative, and every eulogy is just people talking about their relatives dying, and not even relating it back to the actual death at hand?
Fucking selfish if you ask me.
It wasn't hijacked, it was garbage from the get-go. Seriously, even against Weinstein the overwhelming bulk of accusations were that women mysteriously "found themselves" in his hotel room like a swami helped them get there from the astral plane. Women were trading sex for a shot at fame, and some got grumpy they didn't get famous enough for what they felt was some kind of Cleopatra-level blowjob. The whole thing is a bad joke--women organizing to infantilize themselves to take an ugly rich man down.
William Burr The fact that they have to trade sex for anything is deplorable. Seriously, you don't say "I'll give you a job if you blow me" like I'm pretty sure that's illegal in America cause it's sexual extortion.
I'm finding it harder and harder to speak with women as the days go by. Alarmist stories on social media go viral about this one isolated incident of a psychopath guy killing his girlfriend because she dumped him, and all the women just whine and go "see? we can't do anything, even if we call the cops nothing gets done" and they all refuse to take some of the responsibility and learn to defend themselves, recognize psychopathic behaviors, etc.. So they just become paranoid and useless instead of saying "okay, the world is a dangerous place, let me train and educate myself so I am better prepared and secure".
So women become more paranoid of men and become harder to approach as their defenses are always up, and I as a man just find it exhausting to even bother talking with women who become more and more resentful of men, whether or not its justified. Sigh.
They are not worth it. And the upkeep just to stay with them is atrocious, they do not bring a stable and good natured value system in the long run anyways, so stay away, you literally missing out on nothing at all.
Thank you so much for your voice Christina, and please share it more often. Lord knows, we need it.
thank you sooooo much for making well researched arguments. thank you soooo much for this poignant and nuanced work!!!!! as "a woman" i am not against "all men" or "for all women". I have said "me too" because i have suffered sexual harassment numerous times, have lost jobs and opportunities for not accepting the sexual advances or superiors, been singled out in the classroom, "of course we can't pay attention with Maureen in the room" as if my presence was a distration (note i was the only woman in the class and also the best student). I was even interviwed on a public television show about feminism, and was asked why I "was pretty" and wore jeans and makeup if i was a feminist? I will NEVER appologize for being a woman, nor will i cover or appolgize for my beauty or the way i CHOOSE to dress and present myself. It is so frustrating that I should have to be "less xxxxx." to be respected and "deserving" of consideration. As if my looks are realted to my intelligence, capabilities or abilities. Sadly this is the common narrative, looks or brains, brains = glasses and mousy appearance, and so many other common stereotypes and narratives that try to force women to choose if we are "pretty/sexy/beautiful" or "smart/powerful/sucessful based on our merit". obviously i have a lot to say on this issue and am so thankful that this channel and others, people are raising these issues and discussing the complexity! Trying to question dichotomies. Thank you and here is to continuing this VERY important conversation in a nuanced, critical, researched way based on individual experiences, difference, and striving to embrace the complicated and multidimensional realities, identities, and experiences that we are.
Exactly how much RIGHT does women have to use fear of death from a man they willingly dated? If you think youre dating a killer,dont date him for his sake.
It's the same old feminist schtick, they want all the rights, privileges, and opportunities of an adult, and yet remain a child that needs to be protected when they want to be a child. 80% of "rape" on campus is women who go out with a man, and they both get drunk and have sex. To a feminist, this is obviously rape because if she had any alcohol at all, she can't give consent. Never mind that a woman's first layer of defense should be "Don't go out and get so drunk you can't defend yourself or even say "no"".
condew HacDC not sure how it it is where you are, but where I live about twice as many cases are proven malevolently made up , than actual convictions. And then theres the ~80% nonconvictions where it leads nowher
Should be illegal to be proven a liar
+MiniTrump Saltmining LTD Napoleonic Law - Guilty until proven innocent.
But it's not PC to expect a woman to exercise COMMON SENSE! It's like they want to be held not accountable for anything, the ones that push this rhetoric.
Life is not a free ride people, get over it and stop acting like children.
That is how guys are as well! Where is this proof of 80%? It's not feminist schtick!!
#MeToo is a mob, it's not a movement. A movement suggests direction.
In this case, the voices egging it on are displaying a range of intentions:
* listen and believe women, shut up men.
* women's feelings of even awkwardness or discomfort warrant shaming of all men
* women's feelings of even awkwardness or discomfort warrant ending of men's professional and social lives (with no concern of how the rest of those lives will shape up)
* society should cater more to women, and give them positions of power and influence
What it's not saying is:
* let's find ways of helping women get over the trauma
* let's strengthen women's psyche so that they're not shattered by a stray touch or glance
* women are strong and powerful, and fully capable of handling common social situations
atticus319 well said! Thank you.
I just found this channel for the first time and from what I've seen so far, I think what this woman is doing is incredible. There are wrongdoings on either side, and so it takes immense courage to point out the flaws on your side. In the words of Dumbledore at the end of the first part of harry potter as he awarded Neville housepoints for trying to stop his friends from breaking the rules: It takes a lot of courage to stand up against "enemies", but even more so to stand up to your friends when you see something wrong.
Christina, you make me so happy. I'm not a feminist, but if all feminists were like you, one could have a perfectly lovely discussion without fear of being called a sexist. There are feminists who don't believe women can be sexist, but as that quote stated: women are human beings, capable of the best and the worst actions. This gender war needs to die out as soon as humanly possible. It only harms.
I can't understand how so many feminists reject the fact that there IS a hierarchy of abuse. I was groped this one time (punched the guy in the face and pushed him so hard he fell on his ass--he literally ran away). It was a very unpleasant experience, and I wish incidents like these wouldn't happen. But if he were prosecuted, should he be punished as a rapist? Is my level of "trauma" anywhere near that of a rape victim? Obviously not. To say there is no hierarchy is to ignore reality.
I would also like to state that while I have been the victim of various incidents of "harassment" (of which I do NOT count unwanted romantic advances, as long as they quit it when I made it clear I wasn't interested), my biggest allies in countering these in real time have been MEN, who've stood up for me physically and verbally. There are far more good men than bad who care about women's wellbeing. I really do believe it is a minority of men comitting the majority of the truly bad acts. Therefore, demonizing an entire gender is useless.
I'm also shocked at the amount of simply unwanted (though non-nefarious) romantic advances and incidents of bad sex (not rapey--just bad) are being tagged under MeToo. That's just part of life, and perhaps a consequence of having casual sex, or not communicating well with a new sex partner.
The rejection of hierarchy of abuse is simple to explain: it's an all out war on masculinity done by emotional thinkers...
Matt Damon and a few others have tried to make this argument, and their thanks was to get tarred by the same mob.
While I am older, a 60's/70's women's rights era, I totally agree with you about hierarchy. These young feminists are moving us back to the Victorian era of 'don't touch me or I'll yell rape' mentality. It's ridiculous and it will cause a large percent of the general public to view the #metoo movement as just another crazy man-hating witch hunt instead of helping to strengthen the need for female (or male) protection against real assault.
EXACTLY. And you know what? I think there HAS to be a space for men, in general, to make a move.
I'll provide an example: One time I was hanging out with a group of people who were roommates. I was chatting with one of the male roommates on the apartment balcony, beers in hand. We'd hung out in town earlier that day and we had been enjoying each other's company. The situation definitely could have been seen in a somewhat romantic/flirtatious light, and I wasn't yet sure if I was into the guy. Then, he leaned in to kiss me, and I knew--I just wasn't into him. So I put up my hand to stop him, and guess what? He did. We were both terribly awkward, but it was all okay, and everyone made it out alive. In today's MeToo movement I could have told that story in another light and received tearfull, supportive applause for my bravery from feminists, for having been subjected to the "unwanted advances" of a monstrous MAN.
Now, let me tell another similar story: I was traveling and needed a place to crash for the night, and received an invitation from a male friend, who was house-sitting someone's apartment in the area, and had a couch I could crash on. Now, there had been a bit of romantic tension between us, but it had not yet been verbally aknowledged, and as far as anyone, including us, was concerned, we were just friends at this point. We took a hike up to the local overlook and had a very long, deep conversation about the meaning of life (lol). At some point, he moved closer, put his arm around me, and kissed me. It was WELCOME this time (though I have no doubt that if I had said "sorry no" he would have stopped.)
Anyway, the second man took EXACTLY the same leap as the first man. Other than me welcoming the second advance, this situation was nearly identical to the first. He could have also been construed in a poor light with a MeToo hashtag.
Anyway, the second man is now my husband. :P So what have feminists got to say about that?
I'm also totally convinced that the "affirmative verbal consent" thing feminists keep harping on about is completely uncessary. It's called body language--learn to read it. :P
Marary R
I am sure that I speak for a growing number of men when I say this, "MGTOW" #BOYCOTT all Women. The juice is not worth the squeeze! I wish all Women a happy and productive life without men!!!
The idea that nuance isn't important is just ludicrous. As if a punishment system should ever be blanketing. Twenty to life makes sense for murder, or rape, but not petty larceny. Same goes for sexual misconduct versus rape. An inappropriate comment may be wrong, but it certainly is not the same as a violent rape. The fact that this has to be debated is sad. Society has truly lost its mind.
As always Christina, you are informative, eloquent and spot on! I recall when I first heard of #metoo, I was concerned that it would be yet another out-of-hand social media movement without enough regulation or boundaries for such a campaign. I am 100% for the utmost respect for women in workplace and everywhere, but I am skeptical of any social media stance. Take care to monitor this better and don't use it as an anti-man campaign
It really frustrates me how when somebody famous says something slightly out of line that their response is not debate or argument but “let’s sign a petition to get him fired” as if that somehow makes his points less valid and doesn’t just make you out to be unempathetically close minded
CHS, I love you and your videos, but this growing divide between men and women? Yeah, it's sadly not something that men can fix. It wasn't caused by men. Men aren't at fault for the divide. Anything that men say about the problem is ignored by women with a myriad of reasons for doing the ignoring, from #YesAllMen to "You're a man, you can't have an opinion on XYZ." Men can't fix this because women have demanded that men not be allowed to fix it.
Congratulations women, you got everything you've ever demanded, and now that you're finding out that maybe you really don't want the consequences of it after all, you're stuck having to fix it yourselves, because men CAN'T.
Kinda sucks when you keep mashing on that gynocentrism button until it blinks "Out of order" and now can't get it working anymore, don't it?
faultroy Oh, that's cute, you think the #metoo is the problem? While I'm certain that the "Grace"/Ansari 'incident' isn't the only one in the movement, it's the only one we've all heard of in the inundation of legitimate complaints. I have in fact heard many men speaking out on this issue, and to the man it's in condemnation of those who would take advantage of women due to their position, as well as speaking out against the women like Grace who can't tell the difference between sexual assault and an unsatisfying date. That's not the fault of the guy working at your gas station and grocery store. That's not the fault of the guys who built your residence, or did your electrical, or your plumbing, or fixed your car, or any of the other guys you meet every day.
If men are at all to blame, it's for responding every time women hit that gynocentrism button. Women want, so men gave. There's only so much whiny demanding self-important petulance a person can put up with before he gives in and just gives the woman what she wants. Man just wants to live in peace. So I suppose from a certain limited point of view, you're right, it is men's fault for giving women what they want, or at least said they wanted, without due consideration of the ramifications thereof. However, it still would not have happened if women hadn't been demanding it in the first place.
It wasn't men who first demanded that women receive the right to own property, just like the men, who by the way only had property rights a few hundred years before women also did. Men got the right to vote, and of course what did they do with it, they demanded that women also receive that right, oh, wait, no they didn't. Not only was it women demanding Universal Suffrage, but they demanded it without the cost men had to pay to get it.
If men are the ones who get pushed to the breaking point where they fix the problem, it is NOT going to be pretty or nice. The backlash will devastate gender relations, and all those things that women believe to have been true of the dark ages and middle ages that never really was, will actually be true. I don't want that, and I don't know many who do. However, a few more pushes, and it won't matter, that's what'll happen anyway.
So sure, blame men. It's only pushing us that one step closer to actual female subjugation.
Torrey Jones
I was thinking the same thing you did.
Thank you Christina. Truly thank you.
This is the most amazing video I have ever seen. Priceless truth!
Ive been watching these videos almost the whole of today since Ive found them. The degree of common sense, fairness and understanding of real progress is incredible. All these new movements in America are dragging it back into the type of things it freed itself from. A big common theme in them is guilt by association, or serious prejudice, rather than on case by case evidence. The idea of innocent till proven guilty has not been passed on or it is not understood by modern generations and teachers. Im not sure how thats possible, but somehow it is.
Dr. Sommers approaches this trend from a moral framework which, to be certain, is necessary. But such a framework is limited because it does not deal with the macro-effects which targets innocents. The bleed-over to targeting innocent men can be said to be an unfortunate effect. Or, it can be seen as a fundamentally inherent dynamic. What worth is a social movement if it cannot convert victimhood into a good offense? Subjugating men and boys as a class is indeed the covert objective of 'metoo'. It is covert because it hides behind a rational truth: some men are sexual harassers who need to stop and realize the harm that they have caused women. But here is the thing: Does society expect women to stop and realize the harm they have caused falsely accused men? Never.
Kevin Hornbuckle Best comment on here and echoes my thoughts. Why I won't support the movement is that it is a stick for which to beat all men with. It unsurprisingly lacks the introspection that CHS talks about and never will have it due to those most vocal in pushing it.
When the premise of a movement is gendered, how will it not divide?
I also find it odd that a movement centred around elites and their behaviours suddenly and absolutely transcends to apply to all of society, not just the element it comes from. This is deflection and a lack of willingness by that part of society to own their ills, and admit their own failings.
Kevin Hornbuckle. No, it's just an 'unfortunate effect' as you said. People are mostly just against sexual predators and sexual harassers. Besides, men being falsely accused of sexual misconduct isn't a very common problem, or.. at least it's not nearly as common as actual sexual misconduct.
"...men being falsely accused of sexual misconduct isn't a very common problem, or.. at least it's not nearly as common as actual sexual misconduct."
How would someone demonstrate this? How is it knowable?
A sense of responsibility is patriarchy!
That’s why I take the mike pence rule very seriously I don’t meet any women for lunch. I never want to be accused of anything terrible.
supercormey yep as a man you have to protect yourself. That’s why when I talk to a woman I never bring up anything remotely sexual or anything like it. I just talk about generic topics.
Dumbass
There are going to be a lot more cats in the future
Apparently some people instead of cats they use dogs
And dogs :)
One day women will wake up and realize that Men no longer Give a Damm what they want need or think Men are no longer playing the game
And then what?
Men are gonna go mgtow
@@MsUa125 the realize men have stopepd taking women seriously. Basic boy who cried wolf scenario. It's already happening. And they either press harder, or work to ensure men honestly take women seriously.
@@MsUa125 then they get to die alone, and we get to be rid of this stain on humanity.
@@MsUa125 the problem is that you don't see the consequence of men looking at woman's only as bag full of problems witch most women's will be challenged by men intellect, what that means, what can you bring at the table to mantein a balance so neather of us will suffer and POW there most of them ( woman's) will start lying 😉
Not to discount the murder stats at the start, however, women frequently hire or seduce a third party to kill her ex. This makes the 30% of female murders in IPV rather underrated as these murders are not statistically attributed to her.
John Thomson
I've never seen any statistics on that particular aspect, it would be very interesting if there were.
Interesting indeed. Sometimes the lack of data is not an oversight.
john, wrong, if the woman is caught hiring a assassin or has hired an assassin to kill her husband, then she still will be classfied under as murderer/ attempted murderer, and charged accordingly.
this is called party to a crime. if anyone aids or abetts a crime, then he or she is just as guilty. if someone counsell someone in to committing a crime then he or she is just as guilty.
George H
If hiring an assassin then yes the woman would be charged with murder but otherwise there is the problem of proof. I couldn't find any statistics on such cases, I did however find one case where a woman instigated the murder of her boyfriend and was only charged with robbery.
Women often instigate fights but are very rarely charged with assault unless they have actively taken part, if a woman instigates the murder of her partner, there may not be enough evidence to charge her with murder, women can be very good manipulators.
those situation are rare.
what do you mean by instigate fights? depend on the situation she might not be guilty. for example if i started an arguement with 2 of my friends, and for some reason they started fighting. i am not guilty of assault.
If you can't #ShowThePoliceReport , then you're lying when you're saying #MeToo , or what you're accusing the person of wasn't criminal to begin with, and you know it.
Christinaa, thank you for your optimistic rebranding. I've become soexhausted by all the factionalism and self righteosness that has emerged after a controversial election. Your emphasis on making peace with and respecting your opponents are a welcome change of pace from the usual "This situation is bad. The end." approach to both journalism and youtube punditry. I hope you will upload more frequently and that your result-focused philosophy catches on among the anti-feminazi youtuber crowd.
Oh my goodness, I just discovered your videos and as guy I that likes logically consistent data, I freaking love your videos and you are restoring my faith in actual feminism rather than modern day ''feminism.'' Thank you.
An inappropriate comment is as far removed from rape as a flipping someone off in traffic is from driving your car through their front door.
thank you for what you said. I left the feminist movement a long time ago because of the aggressive behavior I was seeing the other women who were involved. You are actually trying to bring intelligence into the situation which i greatly appreciate.
You always make so much sense! Love your videos.
Thank you for your remarks analysis. CZcams brought me to your channel to which I almost dismiss it because of my seriously bad impression towards man haters who disguise themselves as feminists. Good thing I decided to click and watch your video. At this point I watched pretty much almost all of your videos and I'm glad that there's still someone like you around, someone who understands middle ground, someone who understand natures between men and women, and someone who value communication over prejudice and foul mouth.
Thank you.
P.S. I'm a guy.
Every action has an equal and opposite reaction. Every protest, a counter protest. Every movement, a counter movement. The road to hell is paved with good intentions. The stairway to heaven is built through sacrifice. Mgtow is not the answer, nor is feminism.
What is?
Truth is, there is no answer. Only until the push/pull has run out of energy, will logic become the standard, and that could take years, so......... Buckle up!
Finally one comment of a person who understood the natural way of progress and development
i'm curious to know what the synthesis of the thesis of feminism & the anti-thesis of mgtow will look like. but I agree, a balance must & will be struck.
I hope for what you advocate Christina about men and women working together to address abuse that both genders suffer. However I seriously doubt it. Men are becoming sick of being force fed guilt for things only a few of our gender has done, whilst our broadly suffered legitimate issues, such as life gap, child custody and constant generalised demonising as a gender remain undressed whilst the western world obsesses about one anonymous woman's bad date. We are going to ground, disengaging and building the wall to protect ourselves. Unfortunately I think that unless female and pandering male leaders start having empathy for our silent suffering, there will be broad scale gender segregation. This will be sad, but I think fewer and fewer men see any other realistic outcome.
So refreshing with a voice of reason. Thank you.
i think the way you articulated it was great, at first i wondered if it would be a video bashing men but i agree with everything you said, if only more people had this point of view
some women use the guise of weakness to become dangerous for men. This, in turn, leads men who are in charge of things to avoid them out of self preservation. This blocks women from getting equal treatment.
It's all about how they ' feel ' nothing to do with reality
MrTom1379 true women only feel not think. As men need to go mgtow
My nephew works in a office environment. Women gossip about other women in the office. One lady had to quit because the lies they told about her sex lies
Thank you for taking the time to put out all your videos. To have someone eloquently and rationally express their informed opinions is like a breath of fresh air in a smoke-filled witch-burning village!
There is nothing good whatsoever about this movement, you know better Sommers. It's vigilantism and a litany of false accusations, nothing more or less.
Feminists don't care about male victims, at all. They're accused of derailing from this "movement." And don't tell me I'm thinking emotionally, I'm thinking quite rationally, while others are thinking in terms of these emotional pleas of "omg the poor victims," without thinking of the broader implications. The only victims in the Me Too "movement" are the people being publicly accused in a witch hunt, without their right to due process, on social media, and having their reputations and often careers ruined, as well as the few men who have even committed suicide after being accused like this. If there is any real crime which was committed against any of the accusing women, then it should be handled via legal channels and due process, otherwise this is all just people acting outside the law like vigilantes.
But you just go on, thinking like a caveman, emotionally reacting to claims of rape and molestation, like a desperate male feminist, without thinking of the social implications of vigilante justice being encouraged in our society, and the circumvention of due process. As we move away from a culture concerned with the rights of the accused back to a regressive culture of lynching and witch hunting, you can convince yourself that this is progress, because your primitive instincts to protect the poor victims make you feel more manly... possibly you need that to compensate for something.
there was a movie where a box with a button would be delivered to a home. If you pressed the button you would get money, but something bad would happen to someone else. #METOO is that mystery box.
This is refreshing I love this. Critical thinking should be imposed on the court of public opinion.
I don't like cancel culture and don't think it should exist. But if it had to, it should be used to cancel those who refuse to argue by facts and critical analysis.
Well Said. Great coverage and perspective on such a volatile issue. All men that abuse their power and exploit women sexually should be called out, there is no place for that kind of behaviour. On the other hand a date gone wrong or a misunderstanding during a sexual act that was consented to at the outset is a private matter and has no place in the me too debate. Embarrassing a public figure for a bad date is going way to far. We need to eliminate the noise.
From a 27 year olds perspective. Woman often go along with your plans because, by their nature, are submissive. Then in the next breath, blame you for anything that potentially goes wrong.
'Just going along with it' is still a fucking choice. A woman I work with bangs on about a guy who apparently 'treats her badly'.
Yet every weekend, ends up round his house in his bed. As if she had no choice in the matter.
My advice? Stay away from all women who aren't family or friends.
TO BY
But many women like bad men, they like to feel they can change them regardless of any evidence to the contrary.
I knew a woman who against all advice, had a man who was a known psychopath live with her, even his brother warned her. Of course the predicted events happened, he treated her very badly and left her.
TO BY that is so odd, I have never understood women (or men) who stay with abusive partners/partners who are shitty. Why don't they just leave and/or go to the cops/other organisation who can help? It's sad that normal, rational men and women feel they have to avoid each other because of a few groping, raping assholes and/or lying women.
Or some guys are overly aggressive so she gives in one time hoping it'll make them move on and not hurt them.
It's no small wonder why so many men are going MGTOW!
I like your point of view! It seems sensible and rational. Thanks for providing the voice of reason.
Thanks. I am sure many see it like that too but also many don't and continue to protest and making things worse. It is getting so ridiculous on a daily basis and men are less and less interested in trusting women as a result. Nobody wants a boss or someone to tell them that they are always wrong no matter what nor someone who can destroy their life and reputation at the snap of their fingers to be close to them and even less love them. All this is killing love. Even romance is becoming a check list of things that must be done to not upset the other person. So sad.
The world needs more women like you. I love you!
I agree with what Margaret Atwood and Matt Damon said. We need to distinguish between what constitutes as what and we need to understand that allegations are just allegations as well. We weren't there, we don't know what happened, we have no right to make assumptions. Sometimes it's obvious, like the Harvey Weinstein case, but it's not always. I think people jump to conclusions too fast.
Maria Caputo I am a man and was outraged at the allegations. What if my wife was one of his victims, or one of my daughters. However, even with Weinstein, he needs to be treated as innocent until proven guilty, or it becomes a weapon to create more injustice.
is this this women a feminist if so she is the first one i ever heard use real facts and she spoke in a way that i could listen to her entire video and i agree with her keep up the good work
I found this video and by extension this channel by looking up #MeToo objective and that is EXACTLY what I got, an honest and informative video!
#MeToo highlights an important issue that is absolutely true. But we have to be careful that we don't let it go too far.
This is why men are going their own way. As a 62 year old man today, I’m very scared to date as crazy as it may seem. I’ve lost all faith in women.
Seems more like a witch hunt. Sorry. I guess I wouldn't be considered a good woman for their cause. I love men and am not going to demonize them for the actions of a few. I don't live in this world they live in. Women have voices, they should use them in the moment and not when it becomes trendy.
Rayna Clarke Sadly the meetoo kind of campaign is already started to play in my country. I watched the other day an interview about women empowerment at workplace. When it comes to question about courting at work place(I know its risky, but reality is many of us found our spouse at work), it always come to men to read and asses women body language to determine the line, if she accept the move. We know this is hard to do because its subjective to the individual, and most of the time, its only after you have crossed the line you know what the line is. I have a colleague of mine asked to see the manager the next day after he texted a colleague if shes single, literally just that. Luckily the manager is a guy and understand the context of the text. So hes safe. I avoid talking to women at my work other than work related. I have to cover myself from this craziness.
Russell Jordan I find it incredibly hard to believe that there is this plethora of men around the world, in all office buildings, in all forms of employment relentlessly pursuing or harassing the women around them. Say something. End it. If it is just some little office pion, who cares. If it is someone that can get you fired for not sleeping with them (which is fucking bullshit and barely happens) then you need to get a different job. The world is not this big bad place with big bad men out to rape and harass. Its filled with men and women who use to have a lovely little way about them. Now men are scared to talk to women, not only for this metoo thing but because of the gynocentric society we are raised in. I mean ffs, guys that went on a bad date are being accused of harassment and such because the girl had sex with him and didn't speak up. Regret is not rape. If feminism had done anything this metoo thing wouldn't be here. Women wanted to be elevated to the same status as men and now that we are, most of us cant handle it! We come crying back, "oh he touched me" " he said something i didn't like." Not saying real shit doesn't go on but this is a witch hunt. It is just another way women have found to demonize men and take any personal responsibility off of them for the stupid situations they put them selves into.ie, not speaking up when you dont like the sex, there fore making it feel as though you were taken advantage. Going up to an apartment of man you just met at bar, excepting rides from strangers, staying with someone who kicks the shit out of you, going up to creepy producers hotel room at 10 pm, who has rep in hollywood for being gross with women, then crying because he tried something. Women never seem to take personal responsibility in any of those situations. Women need to "man" up if they want their feminist utopia. But that wont happen, cause guess what? We aren't equal! And this metoo thing proves it more and more.
Russell Jordan Well I think that was very well said Mr. Jordan, I agree. No one likes to be bugged or harassed, especially at work. But what are we talking, a couple of off the cuff remarks and sexual innuendos? That's nothing. Kinda fun. Its that sweet little thing between men and women. You are right, its subjective, but if you don't like it use your voice and end it. (Talking bout work/social situations here, not some woman walking home and being dragged into a bush etc) Any way sorry for my ranting and raving. Thank you for your wonderful reply. I hope you have a wonderful day/ night:)
There is actually another reason why punishment always has to be proportionate: It makes it more more likely for more serious crimes to happen. In the US this could be seen during the Governments fight against drugs, after raising the penalty for selling weed was introduced a lot of dealers switched over to the hard stuff because if you are already at risk of spending like 10 years in prison you might as well try and make it more profitable.
As soon as someone is determined to commit a crime it just becomes more likely that they will try to reap as many benefits as possible from it, especially if it isn´t more risky than a minor crime and the penalty doesn´t differ.
Wow, it's nice to hear someone with traction provide a balanced and ethical statement about a movement I feel can easily swing too far. Thanks
The digital age has armed women with a means to destroy men beyond the need for physical strength.
Yet again we are witnessing the echoes of how mankind fell from grace. Or more PC: *peoplekind*
Analog X
Mankind is correct. Short form of HUMANITY, HUMANKIND
Analog X Trudeau has got to go.
mr7wi Lol what the fuck
The Ghost of Gotham Justin Trudeau actually corrected a feminist who said 'mankind' and told her to use the word 'people kind' at a recent rally in Edmonton, I think.
He's part of the problem. He's got to go.
mr7wi watch the whole video. It was a joke. You are intentionally twisting the facts over a non-issue.
"Nearly 80% of murder victims are men". This should be the only statistic that matters and to be discussed. Some of these murders are by other men who are killing a man accused of a physical/sex crime against women or children. Many of those accusations are false. This is what should be loudly discussed. Not the great things MeToo 'could' be doing. That movement is a sham that shouldn't be in anyway supported.
Dunbass. I looked in google images and found a picture of one.
i.imgur.com/M6J1RKc.jpg
Mario mario in the figures I've seen for Australia (I suspect it holds true for the western world - most of the statistics do) the bulk of parental killings of children are done by the mother - have a guess of the gender that is most likely to be killed.....
In cases of reciprocal domestic partner violence about 70% of the violence is started by the woman (in the limited number of studies that actually examine the data instead of simply buying into the men bad narrative).
Erin Pizzey is someone so in support of women she created the first women's shelter in the UK. Go ask her why she left the UK and what happened to her beloved dog. Infact, simply just research her full stop. Seriously, I think her story can help people to understand what happened to Matt Damon, if they are but willing to think about it and make the connection.
There's a lengthy but great video done by TL;DR called something like "whose killing who" essentially more than twice as many murderers kill men as women and that bias barely changes with the killers gender. Any woman who claims to fear being murdered either hasn't read or doesn't understand the statistics, and the other flaw, as outlined in the original comment, is domestic violence figures don't count third party violence, a tool generally not employed by men.
The other problem is one of cognitive bias of the genders. I think it was Colttane who did a great video called "dogs, ai and air conditioning". It helps explain why women are so ready to erroneously believe they are in danger.
Mario mario I'm not sure why I'm bothering to comment - your post above indicates a level of impatience that suggests the best I can hope for is you read this comment and call me a dumass.
To everyone who read this text wall, thank you for your time.
Mario mario
If you did some actual research, you would find that most emotional and sexual abuse is done by the mother, most physical abuse by the father.
I’ll look for the study later and try to link it in my reply.
Jim Bob
Well said.
Jim Bob 1. Citation needed. also plenty of men ARE "bad" or are you suggesting they are all angels?
2. I said child MOLESTATION you dipshit. I never commented on "emotional abuse". But nice try attempting to shift the goal posts because you dont like facts.
FACT: men are more likely to mirder, become psychopaths, cheat, physically abusive and molest children (I.e be pedophiles) are more likely to rape and women are more likely to face emotional trauma.
Those are facts. You not liking them is irrelevant nor is spewing vomit all over the comments section like a child going to make you look good
maybe try actually giving evidence and educate yourself rather than "well I watched this youtube video!"
www.ncjrs.gov/txtfiles1/nij/183781.txt
OMG, this video, and you madam, are the best of the best I've seen today. Thank you so very much.
I grew up in the 80's & 90's and I recall shaking my head in disbelief at accounts of the Red Scare & McCarthyism. I congratulated myself & modern society on moving past such hysteria & overreaction. Now I see we are just as easily-swayed & slow to engage in critical thinking as we have been at any point in our past.
The ratio of women I've dated as opposed to women I've murdered is amazingly small. You're less likely to have a second date if they're dead. I'm not saying it has never happened, but now I have to wonder if necrophilia is considered rape as consent can't be given or if it isn't since there is no consciousness to be violated. Thanks, MeToo movement!
Really liked this input, as it is very much needed in today’s climate.
"boy I wish I had listened more" - LOL,, Damon was obviously being sarcastic
Apparently all he did was forcefully put a bullshit apology that even he doesn't believe in so that he can save his career because guess what, women were so outraged at a logical argument against me too movement they were trying to destroy his fame and success and all his hardwork. Simply because he gave a valid argument which 'hurt their feelings'
Sounds like Minnie Driver is still angry at Damon for breaking up with her on air.
Am full of admiration and just plain delight at hearing an enlightened person speak...while she/they're still allowed.
Thank you so much, Maam... Your words and voice are well appreciated.
Matt Damon IS correct... so is Christina Hoff Sommers. There are degrees of behavior.
and they should be treated differently. Not accepted, but treated differently.

tom chalamidas it is but women get more rights. I know it's bullshit but what can we do.
It should be
it should be harassment and why men in the US are not campaigning for changes to the laws is baffling. Women should have the rule-book thrown in their faces and turned against them just like they use the rule-book against men now. One bitch was trying to hit on me, I told her plain and simple - I am a married guy with two kids, you "approach" me one more time, I am reporting your sorry piece of ass to the superiors. Boy, she is a vindictive bitch, but I warned all other males in the department not to screw with her and save their marriages. Uncommon behavior for a man, right? Stop thinking with your dick for a second, pause and think!
No it's not. Man hitting on women is though.

I'm glad you stated that. I was going to myself but you best me to the punch. How ever the Mens Rights Movement is still actively campaigning to change the laws.
you are the first and hopefully not the last of intelligent responses to this movement and i applaud you.
I like your channel just stumbled upon it, keep up the good work...
"historic progress in the fight against harassment & abuse.." You're referring to harassment & abuse of boys & men in North America...right?

Thank you for this. The internet can be a scary place sometimes.
The thing I find interesting to consider is that if a man steps in to stop another man from hurting a woman, he will likely be demonized immediately thereafter, with the woman saying he was just trying to "get in her pants" or some such thing, and not even consider that he actually just wanted to stop a jerk from doing a heinous thing.
