Did you not notice how she conveniently substitutes feminists with women.
"Feminism is evil"
and
"Women are some thing less than men"

Notice how if you are a woman somehow the only people who decide your equal status with men are feminists (yeah! Right!) and if you say that feminism is evil, you are to be criticizing women too.

I call this the feminists' woman-sheild behind which they hide everytime their stupid pathetic arguments are shattered to pieces.

"Did you not notice how she conveniently substitutes feminists with women."

I made a bunch of responses in video form that had to be cut to keep the video cogent and this was one of them. The marxists games with word association is very powerful and works. And the feminists have suceeded in this with regards of associating the word "feminism" with "women".

Maybe you ought to make an anti-feminist video just for that. Of course i-feminists will be excluded from the target feminism spectrums

I read your video about men being more oppressed than men, and I wanted to respond to it and try to show you why feminists disagree with what you say in this video (or at least why I disagree with you - because, contrary to your apparent opinion, not all feminists think alike, and I can only speak for myself). First of all, by "narrowing" down your definition of oppression to an inequality in protection under the law, you completely overlook the perhaps far more damaging types of oppression that have real impact on women's daily experiences in the U.S. (where I am from) and other places. It's the psychological type of oppression you miss. For example, at work, one of the guys that I work with was telling me that he doesn't watch a certain popular female comedian because "she's ugly". Aside from the fact that this female comedian is NOT ugly, she is simply a normal-looking woman, what was disgusting about this statement was that he then said he watches Jay Leno instead. So apparently Jay Leno doesn't have to be attractive to him in order for him to watch. This just shows how in our culture, a woman cannot be funny. She cannot be entertaining. What she has to be is SEXUALLY DESIREABLE. And it wasn't just this one guy who thought like this. All of the other guys backed him up and said that's just how it is. Can you at least try to use your imagination and your ability to empathize and see how it would feel for a woman to constantly be exposed to this type of attitude? It really is a pretty pervasive type of attitude, in my personal experience.
Now I will address some of your other points in the video. First, about the problem of whether women should be able to receive pensions (I may be missing exactly what you're talking about, but I am assuming you mean something like our Social Security) even if they didn't earn it by working in the workforce. Don't you agree that it is assumed that women will be the primary caregivers for the children while the men go out and earn the money? (an assumption that I think is unfair to both women AND men, by the way) Then why, when it comes time to decide what kind of pension the women will get is it unfair to CONTINUE to assume that this is what they do? To set up a system where women are generally the ones working in the home and raising the children, and then saying that they don't get a pension because they didn't work in the work force - but they had equal opportunity just not equal outcome - is NOT true. They did NOT have an equal opportunity to work in the workforce, just like the men did not have an equal opportunity to be the primary caregiver for the children.
And about the idea of quotas (whether geared toward women or ethnic minorities) these are NOT designed to give an advantage to any group. These are designed to make sure that people in these groups receive the opportunities that they rightfully earn. And if they reflect the portion of, say, a student body at a certain school that would be composed of these groups if they were not otherwise disadvantaged, then this does not in any way discriminate against white males. It simply means that white males can no longer make up a DISPROPORTIONATE percentage of this student body. There is no honest way to deny the fact that white males have in fact made up a disproportionate percentage of university students (as well as many other areas).
I hope that you will practice what you preach and genuinely consider the points that I have made in rebuttal to your points that you raise in the video. I hope that you can read then and consider them from a standpoint of empathy and honesty rather than defensiveness.

Well, these feministing women are clearly debased women. They are probably the daughters of the their Marxist Feminist mothers who are making Stalin blush with their levels of social chaos.

This all makes me think of this quote.

As usual, well done AE.

"I am most anxious to enlist every-one who can speak or write to join in checking this mad, wicked folly of 'Women's Rights,' with all its at-tendant horrors, on which her poor feeble sex is bent, forgetting every sense of womanly feelings and pro-priety. Feminists ought to get a good whipping. Were woman to 'unsex' them-selves by claiming equality with men, they would become the most hateful, heathen and disgusting of beings and would surely perish without male pro-tection."— Queen Victoria, March, 1870

The only reason why feminists must pick up and observe such drivel, is that women were made to care only about what they see in front of them. In their own homes. Other women, the media, books, gossiping is what forms womans opinions. So if they are brainwashed to think that men are oppressing them from a young age, they will believe it, and start trying to protect themselves, rather than using logic to observe the fact that they are indeed not being oppressed.


From observing my own wife, mother and woman friends, in a woman's mind is her house. In a man's mind is the world. This is why feminists issues are so juvenile to men.

It's like we have to stoop down to our ankles, as mortal men, to deal with these woman issues. If the court system did not allow these women to fleece men, like they do, we wouldn't have to concern ourselves with these childish points, at all.

Just look at what feminism centers itself around, lies and misinformation. Domestic violence, when per capita, lesbians have the highest rates of domestic violence. If you want to see women sexually harassed, go to a feminist convention.

In America there are 15,000 convictions of women being raped per year. Hardly a number to call in the national guard over. Given that 75% of them came from feminist inspired single mother households, why don't they strike at the real cause of social chaos, fatherless bastards.

This divorce-alternative, this disastrous idea now held by the legal system (and of course by feminists) that divorce ought to provide ex-wives with the same benefits that marriage provides to wives, is the chief underminer of patriarchy. "The idea of compensatory payment," says Mary Ann Glendon in discussing the French synonym for alimony... --Garbage Generation

All sex, even consensual sex between a married couple, is an act of violence perpetrated against a woman." - Catherine MacKinnon

"We can't destroy the inequities between men and women until we destroy marriage." From Sisterhood Is Powerful, (ed), 1970, p. 537 - Robin Morgan

Excellent points. But why are feminists so silent about Islam and the abuse and opression of women in those countries? Is it completely due to cowardice? My view is that feminism is indeed about 'reproductive rights', in fact that is all that most women really care about - furthering their reproductive interests. Suprisingly, from this point of view, Islam and even its application under sharia law, doesn't work out so bad for women. The wearing of the burqa for example is a great sexual leveller. Priviliged, middle-class women such as Jessica would probably welcome the wearing of the burqa as no-one would see their plainness or ugly noses. They would not be competing with younger, better looking females as they are forced to do so in the west. Likewise the practice of arranged marriages usually works in favour of plain women from the higher castes rather than a free for all sexual market place.

I just think the question as to why feminists are so silent on Islam is very important and I would like to hear others opinions on it. I agree that simple cowardice plays a large part, also the contradictions of cultural relativism that feminism is a part of (as long as they are brown they can get away with patriarchy). But neither answer explains it fully. How can it fully explain someone like Germaine Greer calling for western 'sisters' to show solidarity with the Iraqi people by wearing the hijab?

No, cowardice and the hypocricy of left wing cultural relativism are factors but the biggest by far in my opinion, is that all that most women care about is their wombs. Islam caters for the primitive reproductive needs of women far more than the free sexual market place of the West (especially after the invention of the pill - which is why feminism exploded almost immediately, as people like Lionel Tiger have argued.)
