Mentioned ‘Dog’… instant off switch…shame.
@@paulwarycorrect. I bring that up all the time. There's never a cogent response. Only vitriol and pathetic ad hominem attacks.
@@suzygirl1843So much ignorance in one statement. Facts: Males and females in Hollywood used and use power and influence to coerce sexual favors. Females and males both allow themselves to be coerced. Children are also abused by these people. These despicable people only do that because they can. The reason they can is because there are people willing to trade body, honor and soul for a shot at fame and fortune.
The idea that looking after your own home and kids is bondage but working for a corporation is liberating is lunacy.
Great comment.
@@raechelweir8861it's just about having a choice. Both options are valid choices, with their own consequences. What is important to me is that I get to choose myself.
@@greetagneessens7517why should you get to choose? “I choose to be supported by someone else going out to work”. A lot of women say this, as if they have the right to dip in and out of whatever lifestyle they fancy. Men don’t get the right to choose in that scenario. It only works if one sex is put on a pedestal and offered the choice by the other ex agreeing to work for it.
In any event, bringing women fully into the workplace has changed the economy such that a household now generally needs two workers, so women have actually made it more difficult for themselves to stay at home.
@@aafgahfah👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
@@aafgahfahyou are looking at it the wrong way - both men abd women should get to choose, men not having that choice is not a reason to take it away from someone else.
"Feminisim has been a mistake. It's made everybody miserable."
The most powerful words spoken in recent memory.
Who would have thought that movement that is based on seeing women as victim as much as possible would make women miserable and men resentful.
Thanks to the early feminism women got the right to vote,you idiot.
Jordan Peterson points out that women rank highest in trait neuroticism (negative emotion). This is precisely what happens when you model society after a group of people with that particular attribute
@@kingkarlo9587 You can see it in any discussion about who has it worse. Women can turn every situation to appear it is worse for them. I have even read that women had it worse in titanic as they were forced to lifeboats. Men are competing who os bigger winner, women for some reason compete who has it worse.
@@kingkarlo9587 Remember,Jordan Peterson believes that our entire world is being controlled by the Entity from another spiritual dimension so I wouldn't take his words seriously.
The craziest feminist fight trope in movies and on tv is when the small woman takes out groups of men with one or two hits each then has a 10 minute fight scene battling a woman her size.
Greatest Female Fighter vs. Male Fighter ua-cam.com/video/oHS6tYAbAdw/v-deo.html
So true.
There will be a population explosion when women are told they're being drafted to go to war but suddenly find themselves pregnant, another female privilege.
The funny thing is, that a woman like Gina Carano (who is really able to kick ass) got criticized and banned for saying similar things.
True.
Actually, it was for falsely claiming that mask were the prelude to a holocaust.
The funny thing is how ignorant you are. This is not at all what Carano lost her job with Disney for. Try educating yourself for once in your life. She was fired in February 2021 after sharing a series of offensive social media posts, one of which compared the US's current political divide to Nazi Germany-that being a Republican was akin to being a Jew during the Holocaust.
Serena Williams said she wouldn't beat a top 200 male player, yet you have these wnba players saying they should get the same spilt as nba players
Feminism saved women from codependency on men who are prone to domestic violence.. theyd rape their own wife’s claiming they own their wives and can do what they like..
yet still the pay gap exists.. feminism has gone too far cos theirs men pretending to be women that work in entertainment who’s motives are to take over women’s spaces & voices..
That’s why!!
‘It was always the women, and above all the young ones, who were the most bigoted adherents of the Party, the swallowers of slogans, the amateur spies and nosers-out of unorthodoxy.’

That book literally describes the male character wanting to kill women for being attractive and not giving him sex. As interesting as the book is, his view in women is beyond arrogant and incel like.
@@helmaschine1885 More women fought to have transgendered people compete against them in sports than men did. Many men tried to stop it and were called names (bigot, incel, transphobic, etc.), as you are doing again. Was that a good idea?
I understand what you're saying but why complain about having 4 non white characters if the films is about black astronauts?
@@helmaschine1885 Where does it say that? There's a scene where he thinks about killing a woman because he's worried she'll rat him out, but doesn't and they end up being lovers.
As an old woman of 77, I have never, ever bought into the "feminist" garbage.
Men, thankfully, are different than we gals and I am grateful for that. I miss my deceased husbands strength, wisdom when we had decisions to make and his bloody great courage, which I did not posess.
Call me whatever you wish. My children are grateful for a stay at home mother and a father who provided for them.
When we decided to start our family, I gave up a job that would have made us more comfortable but WE decided in favour of the children.
I am still living on the ten acres we bought in 1971, to the benefit of all my darlings.
Praise God.
God bless you. Really enjoyed reading your comment. Warm Regards from the UK.
Your family are lucky to have you, you sound like a gem.
God bless you.
Thank you for sharing
@kc6810 how is she weak, not smart or has no courage?
Because she's not going to die alone, with her body being eaten by the very cats who were a substitute for kids and a family?
It's not just feminism. It's the entire woke movement.
One of the dangers here is that some women either believe they can actually physically best men, or they feel socially pressured into trying. I've yet to see it end well for any of those who tried.
Why should I beat up a man???
@@CordeliaWagner that’s what men go to. Violence ig 🥴
Women have to fight against men unfortunately. Such is this world that men created

Brilliant! Feminism has done so much damage. Women have surrendered all of their uniqueness and power.
Women have not real agency and they don't believe in freedom they believe on being dominated and being told what to do for the sake security.
If it wasn't for feminism Caroline you wouldn't be commenting on the internet.
and now "men" are removing even their RIGHT to use the word "woman". Odd that🤔🤔🤔
No, we haven't surrendered everything yet! We're still right about everything! 😏😂
@@alicea1445 Women's only value is their face, their tits, their ass and their use for breeding.
I'm an 'old school' feminist. Do men and women have an equal vote? Are they paid the same when doing exactly the same job, for the same results? Are they equal under the law? Are men and women judged on their character above any other consideration? For me, if all those questions can be answered with a "yes" then that's the finish line reached. All this nonsense about women being better than men in every way - just because they're women - is utter shite. The world needs men to be men and women to be women ... IMHO.
Yes, Yes, No (women have a easier time in the courts), No ( neither are judged on their character only on what they think).
There's not "waves" or "radical" feminism only feminism period. It always has been a terrorist anti-human ideology offspring Of marxism fully endorsed and funded by the satan worshipper billionare dinasties Of globalist technocrats like the Rockefeller and the Rothschild.
Amen to that. This 3rd wave feminism is so detrimental to society. All these young women are being indoctrinated with lies that shun their femininity and encourage them to be more masculine.
You just nailed it. This is where feminism went off the rails, into a fantasy world where women are expected to do everything a man can do, plus make babies on the side.
What happens when a social movement has achieved its goals?
Observe how the same people who promote and celebrate the "110lb woman crisply defeats a 195lb, highly trained male killer with her bare hands" scenes in movies then turn around and criticize advertisements presenting beautiful and fit women as being "unrealistic" and therefore "harmful to girls".
Spot on, Jeff
Yeah I've noticed similiar nonsense when feminist newspapers and magazines complain about beauty standards while advertising their product with hot women xD
Gail Dines who is fighting against porn with other experts said that in 2002 the new law allowed women under 18 years old to be in the porn industry, because its discrimination.
So it caused an explosion of sexual abuse of teens.... and teens being kidnaped and sexually abused even 12 years olds but also child pornography. So she does seminars about it. She said that men dont understand that the porn industry is very violent and that many women are trafficked without their consent. 90 percent of women in the porn industry or strip club industry were sexually abused before or in childhood, so they are groomed to do the job because of its familiarity in their brains.
But she is not just a feminist but she is also on the side of men because the industry created such tactics that 10 or 13 years old boys who see porn, are innocent boys whose brain gets hijacked by porn and it creates such great imprint in their brain that later they may become trafficked or they may become future consumers opening their credit cards because its multimillion-dollar industry. Also, other male experts said that if 8 or 9 years old see porn movies they may become future trafficked people or consumers, that it's a form of grooming.
In documentaries, they say these kids who were exposed to porn too early have a problem understanding healthy sexuality full of love and empathy and have problems finding relationships. It also destroys families because of the normalization of the sexualization of people.
The youtube channel Fight the new drug says a lot of info and research about it More than 40 percent of women are trafficked against their will 20 percent are trafficked kids or teens, and also some men.
Another male expert that from 2008 to 2011 the number of 13 years olds seeing porn increased from 14 to 49 percent, just because of better cell phones He says that porn itself is a recipe for rape. That it's not how sex and intimacy and relationship look like.
He said studies show that when they were scanning men´s brains watching porn, the parts of the brain that contain objects were activated, not the parts of the brain that contain humans.
That the more people watch porn the less pleasure they feel from watching it because the receptors of the brain shut down from so much dopamine.
It seems that teens shouldnt use cell phones and rather do sports or go to nature because it's healthy for their brain.
So it seems feminism that cares about the protection of young men and women and their mental health is good, especially when it comes to law and protecting human rights. But of course, the other topics like equal pay are quite too much because it's based on different. Equality isn't possible.
But are women valuable only for their beauty? That assumption made my blood boil from the beginning of my teens. And I am 70 now - and I do hope that I am being seen as loveable for my care for others, my "own" particular wisdom, my love and my courage. I see what you mean though, and I think it comes from the absolute shallowness and herd mentality of a big chunk of females.
@@kbeetles Mostly, yes. Womens job is to bring up the next generation so beauty and youth is of utmost importance.
Until you hear a woman say, “We’ve been duped. We’ve been duped out of ourselves. “
That would be a pivotal point in everything. Hectic
I mean, that would require most women admitting they were wrong so... We already live in a culture where they are always right by default.
@@vlastelinprislic286 I know! I’ve never heard it spelled out quite as brutally. It’s amazing, and I agree…it was fed into our brains from around my teens. I remember idolising the women from Sex & the City, only to look back now and realise how toxic the message was. I am not a feminist whatsoever. Life is hard without a good man to support you…I would kill for a real man who I love to look after me. I would in turn adore and look after him. We’ve forgotten the magic of why that works, how powerful being masculine and feminine really is, especially when they are united and respectful & reverent of our amazing differences. They should teach THAT to children at school!
@@TheFairyintheFishBowl i am a feminist in that i believe in gender equality and see women as complete human beings, including their capacity to be wrong, stupid or evil. The moment feminism acknowledges that, things will work out. But instead they insist both on equality and on this angelic/victim version of women, to the point where it feels awkward to say a woman is wrong. That's just putting one gender above the other, sexism, with extra steps.
How can you make such statements considering you fully benefit from the freedom and rights feminism provided you.
@@wyleecoyotee4252 I quoted what the gentleman said. I am not a feminist, and I can certainly make any statement I like. I may have benefited from early feminism, however I do not agree with or stand with the current state of feminism whatsoever. I am an individualist.
Always amuses me in a negative way that they are always emulating what they consider toxic masculinity. They literally portray the characters as masculine stoic men who for the most part handline situations with physical violence.
Exactly. I could believe a heroine who uses her smaller size to her advantage in a fight (speed, evasion), and employs cunning to defeat a monster or bad guy. But the physicality of what is portrayed, that brute force strength which we lack for the most part, makes it less believable
@@Amy-wu1gf I think the scene they were talking about with michelle rodriguez in d&d was mostly about surprise. the huge dude thought he had her and she struck a week point everyone has (knees) ..and it is a movie for christ sake. I enjoy milla jovavitch in the resident evil movies and they are not close to realistic.
What are you even saying?
@@terreneofficialhe’s revealing their hypocrisy. Men that are abrasive and rough are toxic- but when women act this way they call it empowering.
The new ideal woman is a second rate man and the ideal man is a second rate woman.
My daughter took karate from a woman master - who WAS a true master - for five years alongside her brother.
Master Mary, a 5' 3" blonde who could actually do the moves Scarlet Johansson only pretends to do, used to teach the girls in class...
"What do you do if a boy or a man is trying to attack you?"
And the girls learned to chant: "Strike Fast! Strike hard! Run Away!"
I asked my daughter why Mary taught them that. She said, "Because, Daddy, Mary says no matter how good you are, a girl is not going to be able to beat a guy." And then she added, "Like, Duhhh!"

As a woman, this guy… new fan, everyone always asking me when I get a job or what I do and I’m like … my goal is to make the happiest healthiest nurturing grounding HOME possible. They’re like, so… you wanna do nothing. Gaslight me as crazy for those values. Stupid assholes. I’m angry! And inspired! Love this!
@sarahmartin7251 I had the same thing from both full time working sister in laws, they would ask what I found to do all day.
Had they looked after their own full time they’d have realised how silly they sounded.
I gave up a well paid job when I had my children, my husband asked what I wanted to do and supported me doing it.
I got to enjoy raising our children myself, it’s not always easy, it’s hard work, tiring and sometimes money can be tight at the side of duel income households.
You however can’t beat watching your children explore and develop, both mine spends hours in the garden digging and collecting bugs, they played out in all weathers and even to this day are rarely ill thanks to a robust immune system.
You learn as much off of children, as they do off you, you all grow together as a family, there’s nothing quite like it.
Only a few weeks ago we were driving somewhere and the oldest who’s 18 thanked me for not palming them off onto someone else to raise them. All their friends come from stable families, even at their tender age they understand the importance and implications of parents who sacrifice versus those who don’t.
🎉 congrats for making good choices, values, hearts in the right place, happy wife, happy life, happy kids, less issues, hang ups, your children have so many more opportunities to thrive and be succeful adults, bravo! I wanna be your kid for a day. Why don’t people see the wholesome goodness of this all? It’s the best way to be. Bravo momma bear ❤
People who outsource child rearing to state run indoctrination centers and Chinese apps can't actually fathom the idea that raising a healthy adult takes work or effort.
The manipulation with the apps these days is sinister. It’s pretty obvious if you’re not engorged. It’s a form
Of mind control and discombobulation.
Well to be fair, OP, if that's what you told him then I can see why you got the response you got. How long do you think you need to make a happy, healthy, nurturing, grounding home exactly? I mean, daily. An hour? A few hours? Okay so what about the rest of the day? What would your plans be then I wonder? It sounds like yes, you intend to do nothing all day while a man in your life actually puts in the work and the time. You made no mention of kids, so this is probably why you got the response you got and earned the response you got.
Now, if you intended to refer to having a family at that home you were making, then that's different. While not a "job" per se, being a homemaker with kids requires a lot of effort for sure, make no mistake. If you don't plan to have kids and want to make this fantastic home you mentioned...then yeah it sounds an awful lot like you plan to be a lazy mooch in the game of life while everyone else is actually working for a living.
I read Frankenstein, and I noticed how much of the conflict comes from Victor just hemming and hawing about dealing with the monster he created all the while it continued to kill his friends and family. If he had destroyed it early, his fiancé, his nephew, and so many people that were close to him would still be alive.
Yeah well the book was written by a woman so she placed woman's thoughts in her male character.
Exactly ^
I agree. I always thought Victor was a complete coward and idiot. He is confronted by the Monster, and then doesn’t tell anyone!
@@celtspeaksgoth7251 Not necessarily if you see the 'monster' as his lives work, it makes sense he sacrifices everything for his 'lives work'. I mean lots of men sacrifice their family in pursuit of their lives work....
@@celtspeaksgoth7251 She was also a vegan and that book is about how you all treat animals. The point does tend to fly over carnist heads, don't feel bad.
Liberalism has ruined movies and TV shows. Every single movie and TV show now has a "inclusivity" list where they not only have to have people of certain colors or backgrounds, but they must also necessarily write in to these scripts political or social agendas. The follow up to Sex in the City show, "And just like that" is a prime example where every single episode has some kind of political or ideological statement and due to this...the show was complete garbage. It's so frustrating because the writing has just gotten extremely lazy where every show or movie has the same problems....too much focus on ideologies and too little on actual good story writing.
I still remember when the gang commented about how little they care about politics and they vote for the most handsome candidate. Yes, it was one of the cringest moment on the show, but as bad as it is, it doesn't have sense that all of sudden they care that much.
It just doesn’t reflect life all these forced diversity rules. As Taiki Wahiti said, who has a friendship group that includes half the world’s ethnicities?
Go cowboys. Love the cowboys
It was garbage even in it’s supposed heyday.
I recently watched American Beauty again after 20 some years and it blew my mind seeing a movie about the struggle a man was going through in life. This movie wouldn't be allowed to be made today, too much truth in it.
When a huge warrior squared up in older films there was genuine fear, this has been lost. When a tiny woman can best them when the situation arises again the fear is gone.
I always find the choreography in female fight scenes to be laughable. I simply cannot suspend my disbelief enough to enjoy them because women lack the physicality to realistically convey the physics of a 100 lb person throwing around and concussing 200 lb people.
@@parnpichate A dude casting magic is more believable than a woman winning a fight against a large man.
Violence is sanitised and now appears to be like a video game... Not so if you're on the receiving end in "real" life....
@@mikesmith542 - In short, yes. Movies establish their own rules, but some are more universal than others. In a fantasy universe where magic is commonplace, its more believable than the physics of a woman physically overpowering a man.
This is true. The loss of vulnerability (male or female) robs the story of threat and urgency. The rise of the Mary Sue has brought with it the decline of film quality.
“She Hulk” will go down as one of the worst series of all time lol

The Feminism movement was a masterclass in grooming and gaslighting. Now they look around, unfulfilled, and can only blame themselves.
Unfulfilled how lol I guess to you people women sole role in life is to be a cum dump for men
As a woman born in the mid sixties, I was often asked, "What do you want to be when you grow up?" "A mom" was not the answer they were looking for and was often met with laughter. My husband of 36 years appreciated having me home, raising and educating our children, providing his lunch (whether packed or hot) and generally being his assistant/secretary. He genuinely felt spoiled and was grateful that I was able to be here to take care of him when he became unable to care for himself.
Men and women were created different for a reason - we each have different gifts, strengths and weaknesses that, when combined, create the perfect union. In Hebrew the word is Echad, meaning a unified one. We were created to come together and form the perfect, unified one.
This is what the world around us cannot stand and is intent on destroying. Why? Because it's a reflection of the very God that they have denied.
All you useless “godly women” really want to control everyone else huh lol
I'm a 6' woman with a larger frame (broad shoulders, big hands and feet) I'm probably in the top 5% size wise of women world wide and I know without a doubt that even at my peak in life, 75% of all men would have whipped my ass.
The show Castle was one of the WORST with that crap. Nathan Fillion is a huge guy and they made his partner a bad ass fighter and ALWAYS in heels!!! He always cowered and ran from trouble while she clicked her way in to save him in those 5 inch heels. Idiotic I never made it past season 3
I’d say you should have more confidence in your ability to fight men, at that size.

Glad he said it. Have been preaching this for years and people look at me like I'm crazy. Another thing I hate is when women hit men in movies. Encourages terrible and dangerous behavior. IRL a man may hit them back and there is no director to yell cut.
Mary Sue trope has also been done to death. Please fire all writers making these kinds of lazy woke stories for women.
Oh god this is a stupid reason. We go to films for the immersive experience not to see real life reflected. Next thing you know your kind is going to start complaining about female superhero’s hitting men 🤣
@@JUANxxTNAFAN You think people don’t learn behavior from movies? You’re either really young and naïve or you haven’t been paying attention. Look up a video called “When men hit back.” the women are in complete shock because they didn’t expect it to happen.
When you say “your kind” do you mean people who think logically? Because I’ve been watching Hollywood for a few decades now and people behavior has changed in part due to the content they consume on a regular basis. The music industry also contributes to it.
@@savageaf100 When I was a young teen girl, half a century ago, I slapped the face of a boy who got fresh. Being kicked to the floor was a dose of reality I've never forgotten. (Obviously, he was a creep; but equally obviously, the behaviors I had been taught to model were not useful.)

It’s a highly needed dose of reality that most women need. Not saying this to bee a jerk. But if women continue to be delusional it won’t do them any good.
Simply put even if you were 6”1 the average man could destroy you in a fight. You simply don’t have the muscle mass. You could take steroids 🤷🏾♂️ definitely wouldn’t recommend it though.
I guarantee you your brothers never used their full strength against you post puberty. If they did you would have gone to the hospital and CPS would have gotten involved.
Again… not trying to be a jerk but more women need to know this.
Movies started going downhill around 25 years ago. They really dropped off in quality around 2005. All the studios got bought up by banks, greedy corporations and really that's what ruined everything. In short, movies were the art form of the 20th, not the 21st, Century.
…and the 2008 financial crisis was the final nail on the coffin.
As well as covert racism and Zionist agendas pushed all the time.
I look back at 1999 1998 and I think "wow sure were a lot of good movies back then". And not just good but groundbreaking movies like The Matrix. And I think you are right, it was because studios were willing to take a chance on a weird concept, and were concerned primarily about making a good movie and not pushing a message. Yes, they did all that primarily to make money, but right now they're not even doing that.
Same with music, and culture in general
Sort of. Historically the big transition from "art form" to purely entertainment began in the 70s with the advent of the summer blockbuster, mainly Jaws and Star Wars. Not that those two movies are low quality by ANY means, but they paved the way to the assembly line products they call movies now.
When I saw the film Fight Club, I immediately thought of the story of the boy and girl, two totally lost souls who find each other amidst the relentless chaos of postmodern nihilism, and when they hold hands at the end, the meaning of the film comes through, that Arthurian romantic thread nihilism hasn't totally destroyed, not yet.
Two mentally ill people. That's what I see.
Finally somebody puts the underlying elements together. Stories influence our future personal narratives. That's why storytelling is so important.
Never mind it ruined movies, the message it puts out gets girls killed. A teenage girl was stabbed to death in the UK when she decided to fight a boy the same age, she was quoted as saying she would smash him, likely due to over confidence in her ability to win a fight against a male. She ended up being stabbed and died. Unfortunately we have girls who seriously think they can beat up guys because they see so much of it on TV. The outcomes arent great for these girls.
So you are also also talking about what women and girls see on TV. And if there's a movement that confused children about the differences between the Sexes, it is the trans movement which radical radical feminists are at the Vanguard in the resistance against.
A knife would end anyone though...not a great example. Just mention women's sports being over run by men . It's clear as day there's biological differences
Yes we all know it's young girls who imitate action stars and professional wrestlers and not young boys. Do you ever listen to yourself?
I find your "story" rather comical. If the boy needed to use a knife then he probably was getting smashed, otherwise why use a knife?

Sound Of Freedom is the most important movie of the year, I saw on July 4th in a packed theater, based on a gripping true story with NO right-wing/religious propaganda, NO conspiracy nonsense, NO Q-stuff, NO graphic/explicit content, so everyone should see and support this well made intense crime drama that expertly handles the serious global issue of child trafficking. 9/10 ...Free tickets available if you need.
I’d rather go watch Barbie than that film starring a conservative nut job! Also it’s a propaganda film since the hero is a Christian! I mean y’all say including a gay character in a film is propaganda so I’m doing to same to you
I’m a woman in second half of my 40s. I didn’t marry, i don’t have kids. I didn’t know much about feminism for it to influence me and my life decisions….
Following influenced me : family relationships and beyond that didn’t make sense, looked and felt fake , shallow, meaningless and prison like. I refused to have kids unless I find my self in a relationship that is filled with meaning , a bond that is truthful and stable and conscious ( contains wisdom between parents) …. Nothing less was good enough for my unborn children that I knew i would love more then anything. I refused to be responsible for bringing them to a world that lacked meaning ( =all stories start with boy and a girl, and first example are the parents and their bond)
It’s sad to a point, but I was always all or nothing person.
I wish I had a chance to truly embody my feminine nature.
sounds like you hoed around and wasted your time and youth with meaningless hedonism to me. Why else would a woman end up like this, its not that a woman would have to do anything but leave the house or be on the internet to have men aproaching them. You mist likely had countless opportunities but blew them all out of pure greed and the desire to just get some one even better. No sympathy at all

Gail Dines who is fighting against porn with other experts said that in 2002 the new law allowed women under 18 years old to be in the porn industry, because its discrimination.
So it caused an explosion of sexual abuse of teens.... and teens being kidnaped and sexually abused even 12 years olds but also child pornography. So she does seminars about it. She said that men dont understand that the porn industry is very violent and that many women are trafficked without their consent. 90 percent of women in the porn industry or strip club industry were sexually abused before or in childhood, so they are groomed to do the job because of its familiarity in their brains.
But she is not just a feminist but she is also on the side of men because the industry created such tactics that 10 or 13 years old boys who see porn, are innocent boys whose brain gets hijacked by porn and it creates such great imprint in their brain that later they may become trafficked or they may become future consumers opening their credit cards because its multimillion-dollar industry. Also, other male experts said that if 8 or 9 years old see porn movies they may become future trafficked people or consumers, that it's a form of grooming.
In documentaries, they say these kids who were exposed to porn too early have a problem understanding healthy sexuality full of love and empathy and have problems finding relationships. It also destroys families because of the normalization of the sexualization of people.
The youtube channel Fight the new drug says a lot of info and research about it More than 40 percent of women are trafficked against their will 20 percent are trafficked kids or teens, and also some men.
Another male expert that from 2008 to 2011 the number of 13 years olds seeing porn increased from 14 to 49 percent, just because of better cell phones He says that porn itself is a recipe for rape. That it's not how sex and intimacy and relationship look like.
He said studies show that when they were scanning men´s brains watching porn, the parts of the brain that contain objects were activated, not the parts of the brain that contain humans.
That the more people watch porn the less pleasure they feel from watching it because the receptors of the brain shut down from so much dopamine.
It seems that teens shouldnt use cell phones and rather do sports or go to nature because it's healthy for their brain.
So it seems feminism that cares about the protection of young men and women and their mental health is good, especially when it comes to law and protecting human rights. But of course, the other topics like equal pay are quite too much because it's based on different. Equality isn't possible.
I remember a scene in the Withcer too, where Hanry Cavill was fighting a woman half his size. And I was supposed to believe that the woman has any sort of chance in that fight. I was literally laughing through the scene.
They were using swords, which evens the playing field a lot, so it wasn’t that far fetched.
No they don't. Guns even the playing field but melee always has a strong component of strength. You would have to have the highest skill in swordplay to stand against average because of physical difference, and the hero in Witcher is also skilled so the physical difference would matter
@@gilgamesh310
In set piece battles between armies with proper battle gear maybe. But in duels? Not really.
Even if we say the girl was a master swordsman, the guy was just as skilled, which means that he still has the strength advantage.
@@LuisBrito-ly1ko He has an advantage but they're on a much closer playing field than if she didn't have a weapon. Or armour for that matter.
@@gilgamesh310
Not really because both have the same melee weapon.
Swordsmanship is not just technique is also much physicality. One sword clash can disarm the physically weaker swordsman. One swing can put her out of balance, at which point she can be thrown to the ground by sheer strength.
Even more when there’s also a skill gap ( and there was ).
The only true equalizers are guns.
If you take what he's saying at face value and leave emotion at the door - he's spot on.

In defence of Dungeons and Dragons (not that I've seen it):
If ever you were going to have a film where female warriors have parity in combat with their male counterparts, then it would be this one.
That's what DnD is all about! A bunch of scrawny weaklings get together and create characters. They can identify as human, elf, dwarf of either gender, and it makes no difference to the game play as their stats are derived by rolling dice, and improved by acquiring experience.
Of course, by the same logic, making a DnD film kind of misses the point; but then again I suppose, even if the plot sucks, you can just blame the "players" or "Dungeon Master" for coming not up with a better one.
@h.s.m.637 she is a barbarian in the movie and playing with brute force is just fun (in fantasy ofcourse)
No. I understand the point he's making. I just think DnD is a bad example, because the very concept it is based on renders any distinctions of a character other than the stats you've rolled as purely cosmetic. An imaginative player might take such things as gender (or height for dwarves) into account when role-playing their character, but they don't have to. As long as they roll a sufficiently high strength and have the luck of the dice on their side in combat, then their chosen gender is entirely irrelevant. That might result in quite a crude game, but that is why it's DnD and not literature.
The early editions of D&D from the 70s, used to cap women's strength lower than the males in all races. The 5th edition released in 2014 has no such limits.
> either gender
Larian introduced they/them pronouns.
Mark my words, you will have more than 2 genders in D&D in the next edition. The only thing controversial is thinking otherwise.
This is wizards of the coast. They already courted woke revisionism of Magic: The Gathering.
We’ll go give it a watch lol cuz even critical drinker said it wasn’t a bad movie, more good then bad
How do you know the women in the movies that beat all these armies, giant ogres and firebreathing dragons aren't secretly trans-men pretending to be women, and even the audience is never told?
Because they don't have a beard 😅
In fact you make the most incisive point I have seen in these comments. This man isn't bitching about feminism, it's t-,gender ideology that's done most of this to us, and the rest is Hollywood's infantile ideas. But people love to hate women.
Because theyre played by actual women that's why
in fantasy it magic weapons. Once you put in fantasy creates in the mix some of laws physics can be bent.
Outstanding interview. The brother spoke truth to power. Amen.
For too many feminists there is a push to adopt toxic masculinity. This will solve the problem of the patriarchy. The patriarchy exists. Talked to female doctors that I respect and they ALL said that it was a man''s world. But, I have to emphasize adopting toxic masculinity isn't the answer.
"Feminism has just been a mistake. It has made everybody miserable." Great quote. And yet the much admired Mary Harrington still calls herself a feminist. Trying to work that one out is a little unpleasant.
Seriously. Nobody wins. Least of all feminists. They're the most unhappy people on Earth.
Some black guy who did an interview with Jay Shetty said good points, he is also practically on the side of women explaining that men and women are different
because from biological perspective men and women have different thinking.
and he pointed out women are afraid to be feminine because they think if they will be peaceful, kind, and feminine, they lose power and get hurt by a man or husband, colleague etc.
I think we may say they are afraid to get hurt so they give up their feminity....even another woman can be nasty to women.
He said its not true because feminity and implementing kindness and peace is a powerful thing, it means giving peace is power, because its not controlling or affection but being in control of the situation
when you are nice and kind you actually are in control of the situation because you give the opportunity to the other person to be also nice and kind.
He said it's not about women not giving feminity but to whom you will give the feminity.
And another guy gives advice on youtube that not all men but some men are so ignorant and arrogant that the girlfriend or wife is so drained that she even
can not show her feminine-loving side all the time. He said that it may be to the point that she gives up and stops caring what he thinks.
So it means yes both genders should use empathy and kindness toward each other.

Who? In any case the people who might agree with the quote are likely not the same people who admire that named person. So no contradiction.
A lot of men are not miserable at all due to feminism and are in fact quite happy. It has freed them from a lot societal expectations/responsibilities as well as eliminated a lot of risks that men have faced in the past. One could almost argue that feminism has had the effect of liberating men far more than women.
I live in Scandinavian where is Radical feminisme. I'm a latina.
Now I do get why men here are looking for å Woman, who acts like woman, who speaks like woman, who support a man, make him stronger, who Is Not in constant COMPETITION 🤟😈🔥
It's the liberal feminists who go along with gender fluidity which is reflected in these unrealistically strong female action hero films. TERF'S are heterosexual mother's like Kelly Jae Keen standing up for women's rights to different safe spaces free of autogynophiles.
I honestly hate it when some not all, but some movies portray men as creeps and women as bootlickers. I also hate it when some not all, but some movies portray men as simps and women as spoiled. I myself want movies to portray men as protectors and women as helpers which shows them working together as warriors instead of hating each other period.
All women are now written the way Steven Seagal writes himself in action movies. Infallible perfect ass kickers of dubious moral authority in the violence that the "hero" dispenses and and utter lack of any real humanity despite broad superficial displays of caring.
Perfect comparison. As a fan of 80's and 90's action movies, I always hated Seagal for that crap, so why should I go along with it if the genders are reversed? It has nothing to do with being "intimated" by strong female characters and everything to do with despising hacky, ego drenched screenwriting.
I decided to quit working and become a homemaker 4-5 years ago. I know it's the better decision for me, but I feel so alone because other women around me don't understand that.
Women would maintain the community. The neighborhood. The society. They'd work together to ensure every family in that community was fine. It happened in the UK after WW2, when men returned with undiagnosed PTSD. Women kept the community together and men killed themselves in poor unsafe jobs. Such an amazing thing Women did, such an important role they played. Now women work the same poor jobs as men and go home to empty houses. The community isn't there anymore.
Just dont let anyone to tell yo how to be happy. Its a journey that only you have the right to change. Live as you can and want.
Elas não precisam entender e você não deve explicação a ninguém. Como feminista, acredito que a mulher é livre pra ser o que ela quiser, inclusive dona de casa.
Dude is correct about movies in general, but wrong specifically about Dungeons and Dragons, which to my mind represented well the tabletop fantasy well enough. However, his analysis is spot on for that stupid Rings of Power. I literally could not get past that first episode because of the laming monster scene at the beginning where the monster swats away six or seven dudes then gets owned by Galadriel
Nerd! 😅
Fun fact: D&D used to have gender strength disparity in the early editions.
@@pondracek haha - see joemachine above. 🤪 - brilliant!
Agreed, the latest D&D was really enjoyable. And yes the female barbarian was OP, but all of the player characters have to be to survive a campaign and she's the ONE tank that they have. They balanced that out by her not being very smart or sophisticated, and they were careful to show that all the skills of the entire group were needed. It really felt like a group of real life people behind these characters improvising and trying to solve problems...and not always doing so well!
@@jdraven0890 Yeah, I'd agree. The reason she worked was because her stats actually seemed balanced - she was strong... but not very bright. She was violent, but kind-hearted and loyal, and actually felt like a more traditional feminine character in some respects - being a surrogate mother for the protagonist's daughter.
And in the end, the whole party actually functioned as a proper DnD party; nobody carried the group.
Actually my favourite film of the year.
I took my nephew's children to the movie "Elementals".
The previews to 4 children's movies were an eye opener.
The protagonists were all non-white people, mostly women.
The rare white person would be a woman in a secondary role.
There is a movie about all black astronauts and a black young woman has the lead role as a tough astronaut heroine.
One movie "Marvels" is all about non-white chick bosses kicking asß like testosterone XXYYY crazed women.
The feature film was about a love affair between a tough female character made of fire and a male softy made of water. He would cry at the drop of a hat.
She was a daughter of hard working immigrants who suffered a lot from discrimination encountering all the standard microaggressions. "Oh, you're so articulate...."
Leftist propaganda. Trying to make boys feel bad about being boys and whites feel bad for being white. If white people aren't superior , then why are they being attacked ALL the time? Hmmmmm
I read about any movie made over the last few years and if it looks woke I pass. I dont care how good it is sorry I just dont care to support woke movies. And the women beating up big men is at the top, it just aint gonna happen. I remember telling my wife most men could not fight against that guy he is just like a Brock Lesnar type. Some women IMO rock the tough persona, Ripley from Alien, the woman from the original Terminator, they seemed real. But lately its all non white and non men. Just means I get to spend my money on other things
White gen0.c1de is real. But whites are snoozing. I'm not white BTW.
@@tracer0017I fucking hate nut jobs like you! Everything is woke to yall!

Neither one is good. Time for female characters that are real, whole people with interests and fulfillments of their own.
@@pookiecatblue funny how the word “princess” triggers a knee-jerk reflex among so many people cz of the extent angry feminism has warped all brains. These “princesses” were all depicted as hardworking women, caring for their homes, families and friends, all very kind characters and very feminine. Ironically all were very poor and humble in the story. They were not portrayed as entitled bratty “princesses” with long fake nails.
To be fair, the Harry Potter movies has the guy as the hero and the girl as his resourceful sidekick. They were very popular, I understand.
that is probably because JK rowling had creative control over those movies. god knows what hollywood woulda done with the books elsewise.
Still, the guy was kinda lame and impotent and just lucky, the girl was smart and boys where all pepa pig boys
I remember watching a film with Angelina Jolie (can't remember the name), she was 55kg soaking wet, and she single handed took on Russian security forces over 129kg of solid mudcle, one kick from the toothpick legs of Angelina and over they went!

@Andrew Klavan:
Femininity, motherhood, child rearing and homemaking are not primarily devalued by feminism, but rather by capitalism and the market - who take them for granted, won't pay for them, and expect to get them for free. This is the initial and primary template of devaluation whereby a low valuation is fixed. Something which has no monetary value in our society is something which has no value at all - according to the market fundamentalists - who currently rule our culture. The feminists merely take their cue from this. In many respects they are helpless sheep - just like the rest of us - whose powers of analysis - are often not quite as good as we might wish them to be.
"(Modern) feminism is a mistake that makes everybody miserable." That quite nails it.
Being drunk (on power) lets you belive your the greatest but you can't be convinced your rather acting pathetic untill your sober.
Believe me, plenty of women are angry
They’re always an emotional whirlwind. Ignore them.
Why did _Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves_ have to be the opening example, though? It’s genuinely one of 2023 better films, regardless of how stupidly the filmmakers claimed their film “emasculates men”, which it doesn’t really do.
Yeah, it was actually a fantastic film, and almost completely free of modern ideology. The barbarian character was exactly that - the group's barbarian. It worked as a joke - with her being not too bright, and her thing for halfling men - and it worked in terms of the writing, with her being a fiercely loyal, genuinely likeable character who is actually the surrogate mother for the protagonist's daughter.
The fight sequences meanwhile, were really very well done. The brawl in the forge had some great choreography, with the barbarian winning not just through implausible strength, but by using literally everything in the environment to give her an edge.
The fact that the speaker used Dungeons & Dragons as an example of a misandrist movie makes me lose a lot of respect towards him. There are plenty examples to choose from, and yet he chose a movie that actually supports gender equality. Everyone in that movie, whether male or female, has his/her own specific strengths and weaknesses. This makes the casts learn to complement each other.
To start with, feminism is about hating men, not gender equality.
Secondly, movies with that kinda message don’t fair that well at the box office anyway.
Not really true. The Wizard of Oz is about a little girl trying to get home. 300 is about a king trying to protect his kingdom. There are plenty of great stories that don't revolve around boy/girl.
I simply do not have the words to express how profound this was.

But in D and D world it is possible, you roll your characters abilities with dice depending what your race and class is, not sex.

Women want to be given the good bits of men's lives - not earn the good bits, but be given it - as their due. However, women want protection from the bad bits of men's lives, and men to pay the price for both!

Why do women feel insulted if you point out certain things we can’t do that men can? We can do certain things men can’t. God, what a world we live in! I’m also sick and tired if the “girl boss” trope. So boring and predictable.
believe me plenty of us women hate it too. I've always hated feminism going as far back as the early 90s when I was in college. Yes there were conservative girls in college then. For movies, I can remember the first time noticing a change in woman character. It was in 2001 in The Mummy Returns. In the 1999 Mummy, the character Evie was my favorite. She was brave, smart but still feminine, soft and even goofy. By 2001, you can see how they made her character tougher and gave her a fight scene. And it's been all downhill from there.
Like The Critical Drinker always say, these fight scenes only "works" because of extremely accomodating stunt men. A 120lb woman taking on 8 well trained 250lb men in a straight up fist fight is laughable.
Ive only ever seen one close to realistic man vs woman fight where the woman won, in the movie Haywire, Gina Carano vs Michael Fassbender. That fight only works because Gina Carano is a beast that actually knows how to fight and has MMA experience, and the fight is choreographed to give her a realistic advantage. She still gets her ass beat but barely wins because of grappling techniques and cheap tricks. Watching Scarlett Johansson piruett and do cartwheels to take down 10 guys is ridiculous.
Is it realisitc at all when Jason Statham can kick peoples a$$ in his mid 50's or that Short Kings Tom Cruise or Sly Stallone were beating twenty something guys in movies when they were in their 40s and 50? Not sure why of all the cartoonish unrealism that goes in action movie ,girl wins fight is where it triggers Conservative men to draw a line.

And we both worked full time the first four years we were married. It sucked and financially we did worse. Now we're 50 with no mortgage, no debt and a lofty retirement. This is why people were able to make it on one income decades ago. Feminism destroyed that. It seems so innocent in tv and movies but it's a disease that spreads into real life.
@@zsuzsuspetals Just because he earns the money does not make him the captain.
Brilliant. The part about a woman taking a punch like it’s nothing. NOPE. This one really gets to me: a few years back, someone was trying to steal my car. I ran up to him shouting what are you doing? He just turned around, started going into these boxing moves actions, and BAM! Knocked my ass out… three teeth too. Punched me so hard I was lifted up and my head hit the bumper of another car. So NO, women can’t take punches or land one on a guy that will do anything. She will be on her ass passed out on the ground. The problem is they teach these young girls this in movies. Well. It’s not going to end well. Only thing she will receive is a very high dental/oral surgeon bill.
"Can a woman be womanly enough, and can a man be manly enough to keep life going?"
Seems like a simple question and yet...
Everyone mad about his D&D example and not focusing on the Terminator example being a mirror of our reality is the problem.
Any time you point out anything absurd done by (or even advertised towards) women?
The automatic response is to try and muddy the waters to the point where you can say that men do "exactly" (TM) the same thing.
Because women are never remiss. If they're guilty of something? Then so is literally everyone else. They have to be.
Otherwise (heaven forefend), women might actually have to take responsibility for a problem... and then fix it themselves.

"There are no likeable or loveable women in the movies!"
(or on television.)
That's a complaint I've been making for decades.
I figured that Hollywood didn't want to put impressive women on the screen because it would alienate the audience, which was made up of mostly unimpressive women.
It was the same thing for men.
I complained that there were no admirable men in the movies anymore either, but I wasn't noticing the men as much, or I wasn't as annoyed by them as I was by the women.
I was always asking:
"When are they going to put attractive women in movies?"
Meaning feminine as well, of course, because attractiveness is a combination of beauty and femininity.
its social engeneering, they want women to be as repulsive and selfish as possible and men as unmasculine and spineless as possible. These characters are designed to make you think the shown conduct is normal so you become more like them.
I hate how many of the male characters now seem kweer, even if they’re supposed to be straight. Gay men also dominate the movie industry.

I like your comment. I am of the same opinion. For some reason, we are not great at seeing the shades of gray.
Well that is not real life. One cannot half jump out of an aircraft. Either you do or you don't.
Feminised politics assumes an end goal can be inched towards but that is a cowardly fallacy.
What might appear to be extreme is merely a long overdue adjustment, like a hard hand brake turn to avoid a catastrophic accident.
Ya I have been shouting about what feminism has done to women for years and now I have added the battle with confused men in skirts (CMiS). Makes people uncomfortable. One big problem is people can't think outside their own box. Very hard to have a discussion on a broad scale with generalities. Very hard to pull in history. People often reduce everything to their particular situation with 'yes but for me it's like this' comments.
Thank you, great interview
That just blew my mind, thank you, Andrew, the replacement of the mother is such an important point
7:00 is right. Feminism should give women choices but should not stigmatize the sacred feminine. We should honour those who raise and nurture the next generation. But diligence and selflessness are seldom rewarded.
Feminism has not made everybody miserable though. Just get some stories from the boomer generation about Catholic women becoming pregnant because it's their wifely duty, despite knowing from medical advice that it will kill them. Feminism is the reason women in that situation can now assert their own body autonomy.
Agreed. Not only women, but men, too, have been liberated by feminism, and are now allowed to assert themselves in areas where before they had to face stigma. I wish we just stopped pushing people into predesigned molds and just let them live out their natural lives and potential. Let women AND men do what they want with their lives, but make sure they take personal responsibility for the outcome. Yes, feminism has now gone to far, but the solution is not to go back to the dark ages, but rather find a balance.
Men are used to being insulted, it is a man's role in life to take responsibility, and all that this entails. Women are not which is also why men are traditionally trained to regard any insult to any female member of their family as an insult to themselves, especially to their wife or mother.
No Man is a Superman, Batman, Spiderman, or any other kind of superhero, the vast majority are just ordinary guys, who bleed and die like any other. Therefore watching male superheroes do their thing is an insult to the common man, as this will engender within him a sense of inferiority as he will clearly know that he is not capable of doing any of these kinds of things.
Women on the other hand are not used to feeling this way other than when they see incredibly attractive women being able to get a man to do whatever she wants simply because of her attractiveness and guile. However, when they are also shown to be physically superior even to their own husbands or boyfriends this is often an insult too far.
Firm producers used to be aware that it is primarily women who make or break a movie. It is primarily women who decide which movies the family and her husband are going to watch. This is why females generally like male Superhero movies, as these kinds of characters provide an object for their sexual fantasies and also give the subtle message to their own man that he is not really up to much, or as much as they may prefer.
IMO this is the main reason why these kinds of movies bomb the box office, and Bond movies for example have not in the past. They are an even greater insult to the common woman who knows full well that she will never come close to emulating any kind of superwoman. She would also prefer their male partner would not concentrate his attention on a female character at all, never mind one with greater physical capabilities than they have themselves. They rightly believe that a man who prefers a physically dominant woman is not the kind of man that they would have any respect for, for I hope obvious reasons.
These kinds of movies please neither women nor men, and therefore can do nothing else but bomb at the box office especially when the novelty has worn off.
On Game of Thrones a woman never once lost a fight with a man. It was the biggest feminist man-hating show in film history.
Every strong male character was killed, castrated or banished.
The only one who remained were dwarfs, Librarians and cripples
Wonderful interview, hope women are taking notes.
Excellent interview. Very important insight on Andrew's part re how the entire thrust of feminism is to undermine the importance of women and try to replace them.
No one hates and/or despises femininity (and women) more than modern feminists.
That's one reason that most of them are so miserable.
And misery loves company...
So they love to make everyone else miserable, too.
Surely the point is, women should be able to have the choice, of course many would like to lead the traditional housewife life, good on them for it, but they should also have the opportunity to take them where their intellect can take them if that’s what they want, yes it’s crass when some nubile tiny girl is portrayed as a knock them all out superhero in films, but it would also be crass to forget that people like Hedy Lamarr and Marie Curie punched way above their weight in what was very much a man’s world.
I read 1984 and Brave New World back to back. Huxley’s dystopian future seems more plausible today.
I saw a video recently of a guy and a girl in a parking lot having an argument, or at the least the girl was screaming at the guy. She eventually starts hitting him at least a dozen times.
The guy is not a mountain of muscle, though he is bigger than she is. His head snaps to the side a few times when she hits him, and im sure it kinda stung, but he's otherwise unaffected. He decides he has enough of her crap and hits her back just once, completely flooring her.
Compare that to your average Hollywood movie, where some beanpole actress throws 6'6" burly stuntmen around for no good reason
Just a small point, all the prominent fighting woman in the Witcher do have magic going for them in some way shape or form. Basically anyone but a grunt has magic to some degree.
Point in case, Renfri, that’s the woman’s name, is in fact a mutant like Geralt.
While Geralt was mutated by a mixture of alchemy and some magic, Renfri was mutated as a result of the Curse of the Black Sun.
She was magically transformed while still in her mother’s womb. However, even though both are mutants and have the skills of a warrior, Geralt’s enhanced strength as a man still defeats Renfri at the end of the battle.
Plus Geralt has more experience as a warrior than Renfri, because he has been alive a lot longer than she has.
Not to mention, Geralt is also used to killing monsters as well.
Even in a film there must be a degree of reality if the film is to be watchable. If you have total fantasy that is fine, or magic.
We’re so obsessed with inclusion that we’ve become oppressive to beliefs. How ironic.
To be fair, it's Dungeons and Dragons. Any one person can roll basically any character they want each with their own ups and downs. A woman barbarian is not a new idea.
Oooh that question right after 6:00 is going to trigger some people.
Great interview…
Little did we know at the time feminism was only the pebble that triggered the avalanche.
Respecting women is fine. When women deserve respect.
I remember a scene in Chuck where a beautiful woman CIA agent, fights with a very strong guy (a bad), she's agile, so she throws a kick right in the face of the guy, and the guy don't even move, he punches the woman, and she's K.O. We were surprised to have this kind of situation depicted in a realistic way.
Regarding the thing of D&D... As long as I remember, at least in american pen and paper role playing games, women have no physical drawbacks. True, it can seem like every character is male with just a female "skin ". So if a male with several levels in the fighter class can knock out a giant orc, by the rules, so can a woman with equal levels. Let's assume that in D&D, humans are magically stronger and more resilient than the mundane counterpart, or when they take fighter levels (or levels in any player class, they get that "magical" strength/resilience)
I think this equality in Pen and Paper is due to 2 things:
First, possibly economic, you don't want potential female customers to not buy because of an asymetric ruling.
Second and possibly the most important: you don't want to be called out as misog**** by the woke or feminist mob.
I don't know, if by american laws(i am not American), making a game ruleset were women characters are weaker could even be legal.
Not illegal, just unfashionable. I'm pretty sure female characters in tabletop D&D exist so teenage nerds can fantasize about f**king them and artists can draw them on the boxes, manuals, etc.
I’ve hated how for too long we’ve had puny so-called action heroes like Angelina Jolie. It’s an absolute joke.
The biggest insult has to be Rey in Star Wars being inexplicably invincible.
Love the reference to Frankenstein. Such an important message about women’s coveted and envied power to create life.
Bring back great realistic writing please!
Brilliant insights.
Ive never met a happy, thin feminist. I wonder why
You lost me with the implication that women can't be special unless they reproduce. As a woman who never wanted children and was lucky enough to choose, I was able to divert my femininity and maternal instinct into art, friendship, creative projects. I've never ever wanted to be a man, have always liked men, had many lovers and was married for a long time. I've had a long and fulfilling life. Child raising is admirable but not for every woman. But Mr Klavan implies that it should be.
So basically you live alone with a cat. Good for you
all of you said a man can do too, but a man can't make another human being. That's it. We have something wonderful, which is the creation of life. Creation and nurturing. A man can't feed a baby when they need milk. Men are stronger and goal oriented, women are nurturing. It is not about your individual life, is about the power of creation. Men seem to be able to destroy more than we can, but they can't create as we can. It's about the everything, humanity, not a single human. A man by itself is just a man, many man and women can form an impire or a civilization.
@@TheMagicOwL127There are biological woman who cannot have baby’s….so what you said is wrong. 👍
@@ShowMeSomething1 but, the point is about humanity, not some individuals. There are many infertile individuals, man or female. there's infertile dogs, and cows and penguins, etc. What's the point of discussing this.
@@kc6810 i think your points are valid but they back up something else. This comes from primative point of view, like olders civilizations, they admired fertility, it doesn't only allow the civilization to grow but also to bond. We use to care about blood because it use to mean you have a place in this earth. When you barely survive, you need a motive, not only divine but also in this earth. I'm not defending from a modern point of view. Of course people are special, because they possess a unique experience of life. The discussion is about primal instincs because it is the base of our species. There's something good about basic, more so, fundamental ideas of human beings. It keeps us not only grounded but aligned with our brain that has not changed much since we started building civilizations. We can't deny nature, and our brain is part of that.
Wheel of Time had a woman who was actually in labour able to jump around and kill multiple male soldiers with her spear before collapsing and giving birth. Give. Me. A. Break.
Everything i just saw was stupidity from beggining to the end
My mother in law who is almost 80 years old bought this non sense of feminism recently. I saw her talking like a feminist the other day for the first time. I was like wtf happened to you?
Obviously it’s her ‘time’ now, she has to go. I’m sorry you have to be the one, but you’ll do great I have confidence in you!
She came to her senses is what happened
I’m reading The Expanse series by James Corey and he inserts these Terminator women constantly who own everyone and are never wrong. Pierce Brown does it in Red Rising series constantly too. It’s cliche now. If a woman is facing a man in a book or movie in the last 15 years the dude is done for and it doesn’t matter who the guy is. It has become absurd, predictable, lazy, and in general has “jumped the shark” like a boss. Believe it or not women can be idiots too. Equality remember.
