@@infernalstryfe Very true. People always say that you shouldn't have a bad view of a religion because of the people within are doing bad, but how else does one critique a religion if not for evaluating how its people practice and demonstrate its teachings, and in cases like this, I think its relatively safe to say that Christianity is overall harmful, in my opinion lolz.
@@laurenw.3656 Sam Harris once said that in a religion that is truly peaceful, the more of an extremist you are, the less others would have to worry about you. I judge religions by what their scriptures and authority figures say and imply. Christianity, for instance, is based on the dogma of original sin and of vicarious redemption through human blood sacrifice. Outright immoral through and through. The only Christians we don't have to worry about are those who take their religion á la carte and their Bible out of context.
@@kenichiotaku3693 In the Old Testament the rule was animal sacrifice, though there was the story of Jepthah (I think that's spelled right) that heavily implies a guy sacrifices his daughter to God. Though the OT also jumps straight to the death penalty for loads of things. Doubting your leader (Moses)? Death. Step on the designated Holy Mountain? Death. A woman is raped in the city? Death, because she didn't cry for help (because obviously there's no reason someone would be afraid or unable to do so). Honestly I'm glad Christians don't follow all the Bible's rules like they say they do, because we'd have a lot more death.
@@joshuaa7266 how ironic that blood sacrifice is no less a thing in Christianity than it is in any of the pagan polytheist religions it so despises...

Okay, as someone who needs to take birth control as a hormonal regulator so that I don't have an infinite period, the idea that birth control is inherently bad for women is pretty funny. Like, I would be severely anemic and incapable of functioning without birth control.
"'Smaller when healthy.' Some men are smaller. Does that mean in that case, you shouldn't be submissive?" Me, 5'9", looking at my 6'0" girlfriend: "*chuckles* I'm in danger"
I never understood the whole submissive wife thing. It sounds like the worse thing in the world to me. I mean who wants to be with someone that has no opinion of there own or have anything to say? It just so weird.
Hey! Perhaps I can explain this. There's a massive difference between a submissive wife in the 21st century and the submissive wives of the first half of say, the 20th. Now I totally understand that submission is something that's just downright unappealing to a lot of women, period. However, in regards to your question, women who choose to take a more traditional submissive role in their relationships nowadays are doing just that: choosing. Being submissive for the man is what feels natural and makes us exceedingly happy. But it does NOT require us having empty brains. We can be educated, we can work, we can be opinionated...and yet still fall naturally into being a lovely, submissive woman for our man. I know for me personally, I get immense satisfaction from serving my partner in a variety of ways and working on being the best version of myself, both for him and me. This stands in contrast to a wife in the 1950's who was expected to passively move through life with her set duties without being allowed to ever do anything else or consider if she even liked that life. I am SO happy that we have moved past that in most countries and that women now have a ton of choice. But since there still exist women in 2021 who are choosing this path, and there are men who like it, it's clear it's a thing that just works really well for some people.
@@screwdestiny Explained much better than I could! The important thing imo is being with someone who respects you however your relationship operates, following your own life path reached through understanding (i.e. not being pressured through upbringing or social group) and not imposing that on others. The problem in the Humbled Females scenario is that we're clearly getting chauvinistic mens' ideas of a submissive woman, which they're after imposing on all women
@@EmmaThorneVideos Exactly. Being a submissive woman myself and trying to find community, I explored Humbled Females several years ago. While there were some things about it that were nice, I couldn't get past all the misogyny (from both the men and women) and the fact that the people in that community seem to truly believe that all women should operate in this way. That part was particularly sad to me because it made it so the men of the community seemed to forget the fact that submission is a gift, and it's not one we give to just anyone.
Who wants a toy to play and not a woman? Psycho men-children incapable of growing up. Sad but true. Kinda scary. Wanting to be a submissive wife put you automatically in a position of danger.

I agree but I think it’s so calculated that I think she is aware of the inconsistencies she spews and is so bigoted that she works information around her bigotry and allows every argument to be dismantled by attacking individuals and flaming culture wars. She’s so hateful and mean. It’s gross to watch and know her target is young girls
I kinda had a stomach turn when you mentioned Fetlife. That network has a nasty reputation around my area. Not because of the content, though we are a fairly conservative area, but because two local users got together on that site and used it to plot and commit murder as a sexual event. Thankfully, both got life.
"but because two local users got together on that site and used it to plot and commit murder as a sexual event. " Reminds me of p3d0s using Club Penguin to communicate with each other.
Facebook, Twitter, myspace, and other social media apps have also been used for murder, amongst other crimes. One incident isn't much to base an opinion on.
I'm sure you're not blameless. I'm sure you're not perfect. I've seen girls work very hard to start a fight between guys, and when they are called on it they throw up their hands and say "What did I do?" I've been center stage at that one several times.
I am a biologist so I use female and male in that regard (not to belittle humans who have more sentience and can think about things like gender and roles they hold). These people are really into telling females how to live their lives, if it was "meant to be" would it not be innate? Nobody worries if their dog or cat is acting male or female, they just let them be and see that most of one sex act in a certain way (and MANY do not). Their need to control it all disproves the very thing they stand for.
Theres nothing wrong with you categorising people as male and female. Those are the two biological sexes after all, gender is societal and does not have to align with biology. its why we have the term transsexual to indicate the difference between the persons gender identity and their biological sex
I work at a gym in the locker rooms so we tend to refer to our staff as "male" (as in: suitable to work in the men's locker room) and "female" (ditto for women's locker room)... and must have staff distributed across those categories according to need (as much as those needs can be met within corporate instruction re: labor hour budget), which can make for some very gendered things... yeah I do wonder about gender among other species, it's really a fascinating lens through which we can view ourselves
I thought that was John Stuart Mills' strongest argument - if it were really true that women couldn't or don't want to do x then it wouldn't be necessary to pass laws and exert all this social pressure to make them conform.
A biologist should know there are actual physical variances from the two sexes, making it the statistical center, but not the complete picture of reality. A very interesting couple of facts to note, that also put the lie to claim: Variation in sexual orientation is present globally, including in cultures that were isolated, which means self image and sexual orientation are NOT cultural artifacts. Some of the oldest recorded tales include sexual variations…note that Shiva was a bearded figure with breasts. Do also note that homosexuals were recorded as existing in ancient texts, and in cultures that took a negative view, meaning it was certainly very dangerous and not something a person would be persuaded to be if it weren’t what they naturally felt themselves to so be. Non binary sexuality certainly goes beyond socialized binary gender roles and is absolutely a biological fact. As a biologist ought to know.
Exactly. If I ran across these posts on FetLife or a Motherless group or something like that, I would just add to favorites and move on. On a public website tho, with no way to filter out for those not into kink and no disclaimer?? Eww, let's not. It's the kink-quivalent of whipping genitals out at a baseball game when the jumbotron is on you 🤮🤮
I HATE the “anti-birth control” sentiment, because I specifically take birth control to regulate my health. Before I took birth control, I got excruciating ovarian cysts every month- which actually eventually killed one of my Fallopian tubes- and I had out-of-control endometriosis, I had issues with PCOS, and an abundance of scar tissue in my reproductive system that was a direct result of all of the aforementioned reproductive issues. Before birth control, I was in AGONY- life was UNBEARABLE. Birth control saved my life. Yes, birth control did change my personality some- it made me IMMENSELY more feminine, softer, quieter, I cry over EVERYTHING that stirs up my emotions in ANY way, etc. etc. Some of the changes to my life that have occurred due to my birth control aren’t fun- like the crying over everything... but there are some changes that I adore- like how I’m softer and more cuddly now than I was before taking birth control. Before taking birth control, I didn’t cry over anything, I wasn’t emotional, affection was hard for me to show... but now that I’ve taken birth control for around 5 years- that all changed. Part of my personality change is from a growth in maturity- as again, I’ve been taking the pill for 5 years- but my personality changes are also a result of the pill itself. That being said, I wouldn’t take back taking the pill at all. The personality changes I’ve experienced are bearable, and if I stopped taking birth control, all of my out-of-control reproductive issues that I had beforehand would start happening again- unchecked. The life I live now is immensely better than the life I lived before- birth control has saved my life.... so honestly fuck all of those anti-birth-control people. They fucking piss me the fuck off.
I understand your struggle with PCOS. I also have to take birth control. Other than gaining weight I am lucky that I don't have other side-effects. It literally blows my mind that some people assume that birth-crontrol is used only when you have sex or try to no get pregnant. I had people judge me for going to a gynecologist without knowig the full story. My parents were "mehh...you do everything you to get better" while other "distant" relatives preached about sex and its dangers.
I wonder if your personality changes were less to do with the pill itself and more to do with not being in utter agony so often? Like without that stress, you were able to become more affectionate and become more soft. Not to cast doubt, I'm just curious. My own birth control stopped my periods altogether and I've very much been enjoying not being in agony once a month, but I don't believe it changed my personality at all. It's interesting to hear from people who have experienced that.
you know that most anti birth control are feminists right? Also you saying that the side effects are berable compared to what helps you with it's literally why the pill was so defended by women in the past. But now women that claim to be on your side defend that you should't take the pill and men should be the ones to take it and that they are weak for not accepting the male birth control pill. WHen the male pill had way worst side effects on trials. The majority of the subjects developed depression and suicidal thoughts, and some became infertal for lilfe. Pretty worse side effects just to be able to have sex without a condom.

My degree is in anthropology, which is generally split into 3 (or more) subtypes: cultural anthropology, archeology, and biological anthropology. Anthropologists of all kinds, archeologists included, try to be as unbiased (obviously it's impossible to completely eliminate your bias) as possible. That was something that was always an important focus, to try to view and understand the people (whether past or present) without letting your personal, emotional, or religious bias get in the way. So the fact they dismissed the whole article because they think it was biased in support of feminism 🙄 is just stupid.

Buddha is revered for choosing a life of suffering - but of course, women are EXPECTED to suffer through life with a smile, be GRATEFUL for it and never question it or complain, all while being completely ignored and disrespected.
This is my attempt to say that as always, men are revered for everything they do whether it's worthy of reverence (like Buddha) or the bare minimum. Especially in circles like the ones covered in this video. I need a nap now.
In the story of Buddha he doesn’t live a life of suffering exactly. The four noble truths actually deal with the nature of suffering, that it is that humans suffer, through their desire for something more or something new or different. And the noble eightfold path is the way to relieve this suffering of desire and envy and jealousy. So In a way, he really lived a life free of suffering. If you’re referring to the period where he lived a life of asceticism, he actually came to believe that while it was a worthy experience, just like living a life of wealth when he was a prince, he still felt dissatisfied with life and believed this wasn’t the way to relieve the craving of experience that he felt. This is what led him to the middle path

Biological/Ling anthropologist here! Women in most societies accounted for a majority of the food! (Up to 80%) as most of the meat in meat eating societies came from small game from women. You’ll find in the 50s when the concept of early man came to light, they projected their own gender ideals on their findings (projectionism) leaving many this massive misconception! It’s well known in the anthropological community women contributed far more than led to believe. :)

25:00 I hate it when people look at medusa as the villain of the story, as the monster. It wasn't her fault she got cursed, it wasn't her fault people who look at her turn to stone, she wasn't the one going around from town to town turn people into lawn ornaments, she removed herself from society and lived in a freaking cave so that she wouldn't hurt anyone. The heroes went looking for her and got turned to stone. I mean what else is she going to do when big men with swords come to kill her, not defend herself?? She was the victim in the story. So medusa holding Perseus's head is not only a message of female empowerment, it is also about her not getting murdered in this version and defending herself form her attacker so that statue is cool on two levels
Eh. I honestly think it's a little on the nose and tacky. Unnuanced. It'd be like putting a statue of a kid eating a subway sandwich outside of a court house. ... ... ... wait actually that is a fantastic idea I just had, I'm trademarking that shiz.
bro it's mythology. Actaeon was literally transformed into a deer and killed by his own dogs just because he accidently took a peak at a god naked. There was no empowerement of humans when gods are in the equation. Most greek legends where about how much of an assholes gods where to humans. This was a way of coping with how nature was cruel in the acient times to humans. Hunger, diseases, sufferingm there was no "empowering".
Bravo! - This, what you said, is EXACTLY the way we should look at Medusa! - She is the archetypical prototype of an abused woman who had done nothing wrong except being incredibly beautiful. For the antique gods this was enough to sentence her to something more cruel then death - to be a killer monster, dispersonized, dishumanized and without having the choice to control her behavior. The only thing, that she could do, was to retire into hiding. And not even there she could find rest, because she was permanently hunted by male heroes - and at least it was her sad destiny, that tragically only thru her final death she was able to safe another woman ... Andromeda..... Can someone imagine a more bitter fate??.... For me Medusa is the true hero and her story just another cause, not to belief in the "grace of god" ....
From this 52-year-old tired feminist, THANK YOU for taking up the workload. I can't devote as much time and energy to doing this kind of education, so it gives me such hope that there are individuals such as yourself who are fighting the good (if sometimes futile seeming) fight. It's so delightful to see people who can employ logic *correctly*, as opposed to how Ben and Abby Shapiro and their followers misapply and mangle it. I've always wanted to talk to one of these "women should be submissive" men and ask them what, exactly, are their thoughts on the fact that most professional Dominants in the BDSM community are female (and also the fact that there are far more submissive men than dominant women in those spaces).
You talking about femboys We men don't include ourselves in that category And femdom is really toxic these days The more dominant a woman is the more toxic and painful she's going to be not to forget the trauma you dominant women induce in those boys heads who are soft

@@ahmadtariq4573 "You talking about femboys. We men don't include ourselves in that category " You're putting unnecessary and ridiculous standards on yourself and other men.

"And femdom is really toxic these days. The more dominant a woman is the more toxic and painful she's going to be not to forget the trauma you dominant women induce in those boys heads who are soft" Based on what exactly? Like where did you get this idea from? Are you referring to dominant in a BDSM context or in a just regular real life context? In BDSM, it's supposed to be consensual, and if you don't like it, don't do it. In regular real life, both people should take equal charge and listen to each other respectfully. I don't know what you mean by dominant though. "Oh and I forgot that you dominant women who leads and takes charge and have power refer to your submissive man as your Pet." In a BDSM context, it's consensual. If its not consensual, that's emotional abuse, though I'm not sure what you mean. Plus, what you're talking about is not applicable to every woman. "Its already degrading enough to say it here I don't know what type of fetishes and kinks you females crave" You're referring to women as "you females." That's degrading. Also, you can always just ask the other person what fetishes/kinks they want to engage in.

I have so many things I want to say but I’ll limit it to the transphobia. I am in uni and the past two semesters I’ve been studying the beginning of the English language via literature in various cultures. Focusing specifically in native Americans’ literature. The EARLIEST writings of these people - tribes that never even talked to one another and were across the continent - believed in bodies born with “two souls”. They talk about those who have a “dominant soul” or “equal souls”. They go in depth on these people. They describe trans and non-binary people as early as they could scribble things down. These people are not “fads” or “trends” nor are they just “popping up bc it’s popular” or whatever. Plenty of cultures saw and recognized this and most treated them as NORMAL PEOPLE. wild right ? In fact, back to native Americans gave these people higher roles in their societies because they were more “in tuned” to their souls or more “enlightened”.
I'm sorry, but you are actually wrong about it not being a fad. I know for some people, it is truly who they think they are meant to be, without being influenced by outside sources. However, with the constant media attention and glamorization of it, it is actually becoming a fad ad well. There are mother's who are deliberately teaching their children to be "gender-fluid" and transexual. There are so many lost teens who feel like they don't fit in and not only being taught that they can become whatever they want, but also being encouraged to transition, and feel as if not feeling comfortable with who they are means they must be in the "wrong body". I have literally seen so many trans people who have not only transitioned as a result of their own fetishes, but also are peer pressuring and trying to manipulate others emotions to transition as well, and some of those people have literally said that they feel inclined to transition to be able to fit in with their friends, gain attention, or be more unique. There's nothing discriminatory about acknowledging that it has become a fad. Recognizing such problems can shed light on some much larger issues. Some kids actually said that it was only the LGBT kids in their school who were bullying and peer pressuring "cis, straight" kids. Why are people feeling the need to transition as a means to fit in and be accepted? Because it has been repeatedly glamorized. Many people are already reaching the point where they have detransitioned, sometimes more than once, because they say they've realized they were influenced into doing it for the wrong reasons. This is going to happen more and more as the years go on.
@rocknst I think you might be thinking about the Hijra in South Asia. Most of them are biologically male with a few that are actrally born biologically intersex.
That reminds me of the story I was told as a kid... so long ago humans had no gender they lived in happiness and bliss but one of the gods became jealous of our happiness and split our souls in two, this became men and women, the halfs always trying to find one another, when they do find each other they do there best to try not to lose each other again and when this does happen in there next life thay are reborn as both a man and a women
@@RetardationAwareness children are stupid. Also, plenty of bullies think that any push back they get is bullying itself. Also, teenagers can try something on to see if it fits them emotionally, and if it doesn’t, well, that’s not a *fad.* that’s just a kid learning the way their world works. Why is that shocking and surprising?
@@RetardationAwareness "I'm sorry, but you are actually wrong about it not being a fad." Alright, here's your central claim. Alright. To support this claim, you must demonstrate that people being trans is a short-lived trend and is based on its popularity. "However, with the constant media attention and glamorization of it, it is actually becoming a fad ad well." Just because it gets media attention and glamorization does not mean it's a fad. Also, there's significant media demonization of trans people as well as significant threats towards trans people (higher rates of violence and verbal abuse against trans people than cis people), so your argument must account for that as well. "There are mother's who are deliberately teaching their children to be "gender-fluid" and transexual." Cite specific examples. Demonstrate that this does in fact occur and at a significant enough rate to support your argument. Because I'm certain that for every mother that does this, there are thousands times more that attempt to force their children to be cis. I am doubting your assessment of this situation. More likely, parents are teaching acceptance of being genderfluid and transgender, not teaching children to be transgender. "There are so many lost teens who feel like they don't fit in and not only being taught that they can become whatever they want, but also being encouraged to transition, and feel as if not feeling comfortable with who they are means they must be in the "wrong body"." Demonstrate that the kids in question that are being encouraged to transition are not members of the groups of people who would benefit. Most people who transition attest to increased satisfaction with themselves and their lives. Those that don't usually cite the adversity they face from peers and family, which is not a negative assessment of transitioning itself but the perception of it. - "There are so many lost teens who feel like they don't fit in" People are not being encouraged to transition unless they feel that they identify as a gender that doesn't align with their assigned sex at birth. Children cannot transition with hormones or surgery until they are adults, capable of making such a decision. In addition, they usually need a therapist to give the go ahead before they can receive treatment, which is far easier said than done. Demonstrate to me that most people being encouraged to transition are being encouraged for the wrong reasons. "I have literally seen so many trans people who have not only transitioned as a result of their own fetishes" Massive X to doubt there. Did they *tell* you they transitioned for a fetish? Did they express sexual interest in the idea of transitioning to you? Or are you assuming that they did because you cannot imagine transitioning for any other reason. I highly question your ability to assess other people's motivations without hearing them give their personal reasons or them being anywhere close to you socially. Even if they did find themselves sexually attractive in their transitioned body, so what? That doesn't mean that they transitioned for the purpose of fulfilling a fetish. Many people, cis and trans, find their own bodies sexually attractive. But people only make a deal of it when trans people do. Weird. "but also are peer pressuring and trying to manipulate others emotions to transition as well, and some of those people have literally said that they feel inclined to transition to be able to fit in with their friends, gain attention, or be more unique." I again doubt your assessment of what trans people are doing, since it is unlikely you are actually close enough to any of them to make that judgement. I also wonder what kind of community these people are in, where they could be so bold, seeing as trans people are reviled in many communities. I'd also like specific examples of those who "have literally said that they feel inclined to transition to be able to fit in with their friends, gain attention, or be more unique." This doesn't seem like something people really say, so I need to verify it. These would be quite interesting case studies/anecdotes, but not really evidence until you can demonstrate a clear, consistent pattern that applies to the greater population. Extrapolation is a big no-no here. "There's nothing discriminatory about acknowledging that it has become a fad." It's discriminatory if you're labeling as a fad for the express purpose of discrimination. And since science has been quite in support of trans people and history shows that trans people have been around for pretty much all of humanity, you really have to question if your biases against trans people aren't leading you to this conclusion. "Recognizing such problems can shed light on some much larger issues. Some kids actually said that it was only the LGBT kids in their school who were bullying and peer pressuring "cis, straight" kids." Citation needed. I see far more in the opposite direction, so I'm gonna doubt your assessment once more. For one, how do I know that the cis/het kids aren't lying or misinterpreting non-malicious behaviors as malicious. It's a common trend that people treat the victims as the villain. For example, in the Civil Rights Era, black people just standing up for themselves were seen as disturbing the peace by racists. How do I know this is any different? And certainly, it doesn't prove that the LGBTQ+ kids were bullying kids for the explicit reason that those kids were cis/het. It could just be regular bullying. "Why are people feeling the need to transition as a means to fit in and be accepted? Because it has been repeatedly glamorized." Citation needed. You have not demonstrated this to be the case. Usually, it helps to ask people in question why they do the things they do, rather than assign them motives, as much as we love to do that. Trans people cite specifically: their bodies are not adequate representations of who they are mentally and it affects the way they see themselves and others see them in a negative/detrimental way. Not to fit in and be accepted (that would be counterintuitive given the widespread hate towards trans people). Also being trans hasn't really been glamorized. What has been glamorized is support of trans people, though not exactly the kind of support trans people need, which is to be seen as normal people and to be given the tools they need to transition and live life peacefully and happily. Meanwhile, transphobic ideas are still widely accepted in society, though less so than before. "Many people are already reaching the point where they have detransitioned, sometimes more than once, because they say they've realized they were influenced into doing it for the wrong reasons." People do indeed detransition, but I doubt that you actually know why. Can you cite specific cases where people explain why, so I can hear it from them? And if they detransitioned once then retransitioned, it sounds to me like they didn't dislike transitioning but that there may have been other factors. One factor people always love to conveniently forget about is the fact that trans people face constant discrimination and can even be assaulted if they even appear to be trans. That certainly might lead some people to detransition. And yet, you haven't mentioned this fact at all, despite it being a very important point to address in basically all of your claims. And even then, the misjudgements of some people says nothing about whether transitioning is right for other people. And it appears to be the case that the vast majority of those who do, have no regrets. And most of those that do detransition, do it because of society, and would not have in a supporting environment. "This is going to happen more and more as the years go on." Extrapolation moment. You have no idea whether more people will detransition in the future or not. I mean, if the number rises, it's most likely just because a higher number of people are transitioning and you know how ratios work. But, the ratio of detransitioners to people who transition at least once may very much decrease as knowledge on the matter increases and discrimination against trans people decreases. So my main problems are that you list a lot of generic anecdotes, without demonstrating that they are reliable or indicative of a wider pattern. You also try to demonstrate cause and effect with these anecdotes, which is inappropriate given that you haven't isolated any confounding or lurking variables. You also appear to make assumptions about the motivations of others, without citing their own assertions about their motivations. Examples without details are useless; I don't trust your examples or your judgement until you give details and demonstrate its trustworthiness to a reasonable extent. I'll provide evidence myself if you need any for any claims I make, but I didn't make too many, and the ones I did make shouldn't be too objectionable I think.
when they get all on the "mEN hAve it WORse beCAuSe" its like "actually this could be a: classism, capitalism, imperialism (I dunno what category does Conscription come under?) problem. None of which are inherently incompatible with Feminism, lets sit down for a moment and discuss seizing the means of production"

The tweet at 18:15 made me cringe so hard because I learned how to knit and crochet but it was to make stuff that I want but I have discovered there are plenty of men that knit and crochet so it was just a stupid remark in general
you know the medusa statute makes sense. In mythology medusa was raped by poseidon when she was just a priestess at the temple of Athena, and then she got turned into a monster, becuase as well know rape victims usually end up being demonized
And on top of that, Medusas sisters were also turned into monsters for trying to stand by her. Also says a lot about how people who actually try to stand by rape victims are ignored or demonised alongside them
Elaborating: This particular story comes from Ovid's Metamorphoses. His writing is notably respectful of ancient Greek faith and folklore (unlike most contemporary Romans), and there are some faithful recordings of stories. However, his writing has an obvious anti-deity slant (assumed to be projection of anti-imperial slant he held to), and his story of Medusa's origin is attested nowhere else, and may be created by him. None of the known actual ancient Greek sources treat Medusa as anything more than a Gorgon - a monster.
Because a chef is a professional, and culinary arts require skill and dedication. Naturally, women can’t be considered the best at anything professional, even if it’s stereotypically feminine.
Also they all seem to forget that in order for women to be this stereotypical means they don't have to work because the men are financially supporting them completely.

Ok, I have to comment again because of the Stepford Wives thing: What is it with "ultraconservative" (for lack of a better term) people and being unable to interpret fiction in a reasonable way? They read a critique of strict gender norms and think "Ah, yes, I'd love to have a robot wife :)" They read Lolita - a book that is very obviously and by the author's description about child abuse - and publically say "What an amazing love story :) This pubescent girl is a true seductress :)" They read a book by a socialist(!) author about how totalitarianism is bad and say "Hmhm, a very good anti-socialist piece of literature. I'll reference it in every conversation." I say this as someone who hates being part of the humanities but: Maybe take a literature course? I'm sure your local college offers "English literature of the 20th century 101" or something...?
FF: this Medusa statue is holding Theseus's head by her side instead of aloft like the original statue of Theseus w Her head bc it's not seen as victory *and* dominance over her aggressor.

When we have a history of misogyny and male privilege, many perceive feminism as a threat to men, when it is only a threat to men's privilege. Feminism seeks to change unfair privilege men statistically benefit from, such as the ability to harass women or commit micro-aggressions without a large enough threat of consequence, or the privilege of being more likely to gain promotions or higher pay for the same work as someone of another gender. Losing that privilege is simply having something you never should have had taken away. Feminism as an ideology does not seek to damage men or pull them into the position of disadvantage or discrimination that women on average face now. But, when people become complacent with their unfair privilege, a threat to that privilege may be perceived as a threat to their entire livelihood. What many of these men don't understand is that as long as they benefit from this privilege, it puts women at a disadvantage.
Skills I learnt in the army that I still use today: Sewing, ironing, cooking and cleaning. So what these "men" are saying is that their women should join the army to get the skills they need. Edit: sorry I should have said "their females ".
I live in Texas a very religious and conservative area at times - the main thing about birth control for conservatives that are against it is that women should only be having sex in marriage - and that God will decide if you have a baby or not rather than it being your choice. It basically just goes back to the idea that sex is for making babies not for pleasure - very dumb
@Kasey Drapela they also just ignore the fact that not all married women want kids. (Women’s thoughts don’t matter to them. They either view a woman having a child as the only useful thing she can do or the only thing that will make her happy) I’m waiting until I’m married for physical things because of my abandonment issues but I sure as hell and going to be on some kind of birth control when I am sexually active.
Also, about the "women are smaller than men" thing (aside from the fact that it's obviously false), they do know that the average height differs per country right? For example, people here are, on average, quite tall. Me included. If i were to go to a different country, would I then like, shrink down or something? To ensure that I'm not taller than any of the local men?

I've even been accused of being "far-right" by "Liberals" (who ironically aren't all that liberal) (because I reject contemporary intersectionality politics/pigeonholing people into little boxes and supporting people being free to be themselves) and "conservative" by "conservatives" (who ironically aren't all that inline with the founding generation) (despite supporting a worker controlled economy and society)... But I'm a socialist lol. Americans have been so whipped by the two major parties over the last century that they don't know which end's up lol. I've read passages from "Common Sense", and people of both those groups freak out lol. The "Liberals" claim its fascist, the "conservatives" claim its "Marxist" (ignoring the fact that it was written before that guy was born)
About the Medusa statue... I looked it up and I found pictures of a statue of him all naked holding her head. I think the problem lies with them when they are butthurt immediately after seeing this and of course they sexualise her...
Yes, the NYC Medusa statue is just a role-swapped version of the original that, arguably, feels more cathartic given the myth. The NYC statue features Medusa just...standing there with a stern facial expression, holding a sword in one hand and a head in another. Anyone who deems that "sexual" might have some issues regarding how they interpret female bodies, idk...
Hi, I'm super late to this awesome party, but I love your videos! I wanted to bring in a side point I thought you might be interested in - as an afab nonbinary person with lots of birth control experience, I used to agree that it was laughably ironic that male-focused hormonal birth control was discarded in studies because of the severity of side effects. However, someone raised a point that entirely changed my mind on it: when you're considering whether side effects of a new drug are acceptable or not, you consider whether the side effects of the drug are worse *for that patient* than the possible effects of not taking the drug. Pregnancy is an inherently dangerous condition, and therefore drugs that are aimed at helping prevent *that patient* from becoming unwillingly pregnant have a higher threshold of "allowable" side effects. In people who cannot become pregnant, the side effects would always be more dangerous and negatively affecting (again, *to the patient taking the drug, medically*) than the........continued entire lack of ever becoming pregnant......that would be the result of not taking the drug. Sorry, very long-winded, but this perspective changed how I talk about male-focused hormonal birth control options and I think it's an important point to keep in mind! I hope one day there's a much broader range of options for literally everyone, and all of them should always be free and readily available.
I'm sure I'm not the first to say this, but I love how they think m3n are so superior, but they require women to demean and lower themselves. And if a woman expresses any sort of will or self-determination or resistance or anything outside their narrow ideas, then these alleged supermen will apparently be instantly neutered and powerless. How superior can you be when you require everyone else to submit and weaken themselves to protect your supposed "superiority." And they say women are fragile and weak
"Let's avoid the mental contagion of openly embracing things that are clearly false and forming cultural norms and policies on them. It will lead to dark places once the precedent is widely established." **Christianity has left the chat.**

I wonder sometimes if Girl Power is woman's way of reclaiming traits traditionally seen as masculine. I think feminine stuff like crying oughtta be able to be reclaimed by this same token.
I was on a date with a woman and we saw the Color Purple. The scene where the sisters were separated was so perfectly acted and directed that it moved me to tears. That woman never went out with me again. She fit the demographic and believed the ideas that I see many young women here express. Men cry, but our tears are only allowed in extreme situations, not emotional ones.
@mmluon. Then you were better off not continuing to date her. There are plenty of women who appreciate a man who is not afraid to express his emotions.
Tyler Durden made lots of soap. Very...manly man. 😌 Very soapy man. Yeah I bet there were lots of paleolithic lesbians eating quite well, leading awesome hunting groups. Melania Trump is aesthetically fine.... On the surface. But her personality sucks. So it's no wonder so many magazines don't want to interview her. Magazines interview model citizens, role models or interesting emulating worthy humans... Melania is not a person most magazines in the "liberal media" have either social reason or sponsor reason to interview. 😂
5 biological reasons men are the submissive gender -great physical strength perfect to serve his queen with physical tasks -testosteronial rage -men in nature are to impress women -men are equipped with a fun phallic body part meant to please his queen and help her make a baby if she wishes - no breasts for feeding babies therefore meant to serve the woman and her children in other ways. I tried making it to 7 but running out of ideas. Tried to make them as "sensible" as the 7 reasons at the end there.

I think that Melania wanted to be left out of politics for the most part, we probably saw Michelle Obama more, but she took political stances and was active in politics (as much as the first lady can be, anyway)
Don’t you just love “men” who beat their chests in a declaration of masculinity, but then cry like babies when they get their fefes hurt... and their fefes get hurt way too easily. Women are not trying to emasculate men. They don’t have to. A lot of guys are doing a damn fine job of that on their on. I’m happy to stand by women in whatever they choose to do. Even if a woman was being blatantly sexist towards men; I wouldn’t feel like it was an assault on my delicate sensibilities. I’m a man. I don’t have delicate sensibilities.
As far as the stay-at-home parent thing; I’m a single daddy (two toddler boys), I’m also an engineer. The parenting role is much more taxing and exhausting than the engineering. It is also infinitely more rewarding and fulfilling, and I think that is where the confusion comes from, people conflate rewarding and “better” for “easy”. It is absolutely NOT easy, it’s one of the more trying tribulations in life…but given the opportunity, I would drop everything to do it full-time.
Reading these some of these comments gave hope for the future others not so much. I think that a relationship is built on mutual trust and respect. If sex is important to you maybe tou should make sure your partner has the same opinion. I personally don't think that sex as important as some said in the comments. Many things can happen in the future, stress and also medical problems with your ovaries, vagina or penis can change the amount of sex one has its life. This is why people should get together because they truly like each other and their personality rather than sex drive. After all people are not animals that have no self control. I hate this argument that people have "urges" and can't control themselves (sometimes used to justify rape or other behaviors). Nobody died from not having sex. I wrote this comment because I feel uncomfortable sometimes when say that everything is about sex and that not having a boyfriend/girlftiend or sex at least once before a certain age means that there something wrong with you.
"Nonbinary people you can also make soap," made me laugh. It was like finally women aren't the only ones allowed to make soap! But also who makes soap besides like etsy people?

People always say that you shouldn't have a bad view of a religion because of the people within are doing bad, but how else does one critique a religion if not for evaluating how its people practice and demonstrate its teachings, and in cases like this, I think its relatively safe to say that Christianity is overall harmful, in my opinion lolz.
@@laurenw.3656 Sam Harris once said that in a religion that is truly peaceful, the more of an extremist you are, the less others would have to worry about you. I judge religions by what their scriptures and authority figures say and imply. Christianity, for instance, is based on the dogma of original sin and of vicarious redemption through human blood sacrifice. Outright immoral through and through. The only Christians we don't have to worry about are those who take their religion á la carte and their Bible out of context.
@@kenichiotaku3693 In the Old Testament the rule was animal sacrifice, though there was the story of Jepthah (I think that's spelled right) that heavily implies a guy sacrifices his daughter to God. Though the OT also jumps straight to the death penalty for loads of things. Doubting your leader (Moses)? Death. Step on the designated Holy Mountain? Death. A woman is raped in the city? Death, because she didn't cry for help (because obviously there's no reason someone would be afraid or unable to do so). Honestly I'm glad Christians don't follow all the Bible's rules like they say they do, because we'd have a lot more death.
@@joshuaa7266 how ironic that blood sacrifice is no less a thing in Christianity than it is in any of the pagan polytheist religions it so despises...

Okay, as someone who needs to take birth control as a hormonal regulator so that I don't have an infinite period, the idea that birth control is inherently bad for women is pretty funny. Like, I would be severely anemic and incapable of functioning without birth control.

I never understood the whole submissive wife thing. It sounds like the worse thing in the world to me. I mean who wants to be with someone that has no opinion of there own or have anything to say? It just so weird.
Hey! Perhaps I can explain this. There's a massive difference between a submissive wife in the 21st century and the submissive wives of the first half of say, the 20th. Now I totally understand that submission is something that's just downright unappealing to a lot of women, period. However, in regards to your question, women who choose to take a more traditional submissive role in their relationships nowadays are doing just that: choosing. Being submissive for the man is what feels natural and makes us exceedingly happy. But it does NOT require us having empty brains. We can be educated, we can work, we can be opinionated...and yet still fall naturally into being a lovely, submissive woman for our man.
I know for me personally, I get immense satisfaction from serving my partner in a variety of ways and working on being the best version of myself, both for him and me. This stands in contrast to a wife in the 1950's who was expected to passively move through life with her set duties without being allowed to ever do anything else or consider if she even liked that life. I am SO happy that we have moved past that in most countries and that women now have a ton of choice. But since there still exist women in 2021 who are choosing this path, and there are men who like it, it's clear it's a thing that just works really well for some people.
@@screwdestiny Explained much better than I could! The important thing imo is being with someone who respects you however your relationship operates, following your own life path reached through understanding (i.e. not being pressured through upbringing or social group) and not imposing that on others. The problem in the Humbled Females scenario is that we're clearly getting chauvinistic mens' ideas of a submissive woman, which they're after imposing on all women
@@EmmaThorneVideos Exactly. Being a submissive woman myself and trying to find community, I explored Humbled Females several years ago. While there were some things about it that were nice, I couldn't get past all the misogyny (from both the men and women) and the fact that the people in that community seem to truly believe that all women should operate in this way. That part was particularly sad to me because it made it so the men of the community seemed to forget the fact that submission is a gift, and it's not one we give to just anyone.
Who wants a toy to play and not a woman? Psycho men-children incapable of growing up. Sad but true. Kinda scary. Wanting to be a submissive wife put you automatically in a position of danger.

I'm sure you're not blameless. I'm sure you're not perfect. I've seen girls work very hard to start a fight between guys, and when they are called on it they throw up their hands and say "What did I do?" I've been center stage at that one several times.
I am a biologist so I use female and male in that regard (not to belittle humans who have more sentience and can think about things like gender and roles they hold). These people are really into telling females how to live their lives, if it was "meant to be" would it not be innate? Nobody worries if their dog or cat is acting male or female, they just let them be and see that most of one sex act in a certain way (and MANY do not). Their need to control it all disproves the very thing they stand for.
Theres nothing wrong with you categorising people as male and female. Those are the two biological sexes after all, gender is societal and does not have to align with biology. its why we have the term transsexual to indicate the difference between the persons gender identity and their biological sex
I work at a gym in the locker rooms so we tend to refer to our staff as "male" (as in: suitable to work in the men's locker room) and "female" (ditto for women's locker room)... and must have staff distributed across those categories according to need (as much as those needs can be met within corporate instruction re: labor hour budget), which can make for some very gendered things... yeah I do wonder about gender among other species, it's really a fascinating lens through which we can view ourselves
I thought that was John Stuart Mills' strongest argument - if it were really true that women couldn't or don't want to do x then it wouldn't be necessary to pass laws and exert all this social pressure to make them conform.
A biologist should know there are actual physical variances from the two sexes, making it the statistical center, but not the complete picture of reality.
A very interesting couple of facts to note, that also put the lie to claim:
Variation in sexual orientation is present globally, including in cultures that were isolated, which means self image and sexual orientation are NOT cultural artifacts.
Some of the oldest recorded tales include sexual variations…note that Shiva was a bearded figure with breasts. Do also note that homosexuals were recorded as existing in ancient texts, and in cultures that took a negative view, meaning it was certainly very dangerous and not something a person would be persuaded to be if it weren’t what they naturally felt themselves to so be.
Non binary sexuality certainly goes beyond socialized binary gender roles and is absolutely a biological fact. As a biologist ought to know.
Some of these tweets read very kink; fine between consenting individuals but highly inappropriate to force on non-consenting individuals

I'm having trouble communicating my submissive nature with anyone in my life.
This is what I think of the Transformed wife, too
I HATE the “anti-birth control” sentiment, because I specifically take birth control to regulate my health. Before I took birth control, I got excruciating ovarian cysts every month- which actually eventually killed one of my Fallopian tubes- and I had out-of-control endometriosis, I had issues with PCOS, and an abundance of scar tissue in my reproductive system that was a direct result of all of the aforementioned reproductive issues. Before birth control, I was in AGONY- life was UNBEARABLE. Birth control saved my life. Yes, birth control did change my personality some- it made me IMMENSELY more feminine, softer, quieter, I cry over EVERYTHING that stirs up my emotions in ANY way, etc. etc. Some of the changes to my life that have occurred due to my birth control aren’t fun- like the crying over everything... but there are some changes that I adore- like how I’m softer and more cuddly now than I was before taking birth control. Before taking birth control, I didn’t cry over anything, I wasn’t emotional, affection was hard for me to show... but now that I’ve taken birth control for around 5 years- that all changed. Part of my personality change is from a growth in maturity- as again, I’ve been taking the pill for 5 years- but my personality changes are also a result of the pill itself. That being said, I wouldn’t take back taking the pill at all. The personality changes I’ve experienced are bearable, and if I stopped taking birth control, all of my out-of-control reproductive issues that I had beforehand would start happening again- unchecked. The life I live now is immensely better than the life I lived before- birth control has saved my life.... so honestly fuck all of those anti-birth-control people. They fucking piss me the fuck off.
I understand your struggle with PCOS. I also have to take birth control. Other than gaining weight I am lucky that I don't have other side-effects. It literally blows my mind that some people assume that birth-crontrol is used only when you have sex or try to no get pregnant. I had people judge me for going to a gynecologist without knowig the full story. My parents were "mehh...you do everything you to get better" while other "distant" relatives preached about sex and its dangers.
I wonder if your personality changes were less to do with the pill itself and more to do with not being in utter agony so often? Like without that stress, you were able to become more affectionate and become more soft.
Not to cast doubt, I'm just curious. My own birth control stopped my periods altogether and I've very much been enjoying not being in agony once a month, but I don't believe it changed my personality at all. It's interesting to hear from people who have experienced that.
I refused to go on birth control and now I'm wondering if that's what affected my fertility....
I also take birth control for insane hormonal acne and horrible pain. Thing is not all birth controls regulate acne, about a handful of them
you know that most anti birth control are feminists right? Also you saying that the side effects are berable compared to what helps you with it's literally why the pill was so defended by women in the past. But now women that claim to be on your side defend that you should't take the pill and men should be the ones to take it and that they are weak for not accepting the male birth control pill. WHen the male pill had way worst side effects on trials. The majority of the subjects developed depression and suicidal thoughts, and some became infertal for lilfe. Pretty worse side effects just to be able to have sex without a condom.

Nothing says "I'm an inadequate man" like believing in biological determinism.
This I agree with.

It's why I don't.
I think that biological determinism can't be COMPLETE bs. I mean, we're different, there just must be some difference in how we think and react to stimuli.

My degree is in anthropology, which is generally split into 3 (or more) subtypes: cultural anthropology, archeology, and biological anthropology. Anthropologists of all kinds, archeologists included, try to be as unbiased (obviously it's impossible to completely eliminate your bias) as possible. That was something that was always an important focus, to try to view and understand the people (whether past or present) without letting your personal, emotional, or religious bias get in the way. So the fact they dismissed the whole article because they think it was biased in support of feminism 🙄 is just stupid.

Medusa and her iconic head has stood as a symbol of protection and power for many centuries. She was used to mark places women could go to find a safe place.
Right, and similarly the Aegis, the shield of Zeus and Athena, is often described as featuring the head of a gorgon.
That's actually the source of the gorget, neck armor worn by rulers even past the point of other pieces of armor being worn, as a mark of power. Originally made with the gorgon head on it, this the etymology of gorg-et
Tangentially related, but have you ever thought about how much of Medusa’s hair is snakes? What about nose hair or body hair?
Buddha is revered for choosing a life of suffering - but of course, women are EXPECTED to suffer through life with a smile, be GRATEFUL for it and never question it or complain, all while being completely ignored and disrespected.
This is my attempt to say that as always, men are revered for everything they do whether it's worthy of reverence (like Buddha) or the bare minimum. Especially in circles like the ones covered in this video. I need a nap now.
In the story of Buddha he doesn’t live a life of suffering exactly. The four noble truths actually deal with the nature of suffering, that it is that humans suffer, through their desire for something more or something new or different. And the noble eightfold path is the way to relieve this suffering of desire and envy and jealousy. So In a way, he really lived a life free of suffering. If you’re referring to the period where he lived a life of asceticism, he actually came to believe that while it was a worthy experience, just like living a life of wealth when he was a prince, he still felt dissatisfied with life and believed this wasn’t the way to relieve the craving of experience that he felt. This is what led him to the middle path

Biological/Ling anthropologist here! Women in most societies accounted for a majority of the food! (Up to 80%) as most of the meat in meat eating societies came from small game from women.

It’s well known in the anthropological community women contributed far more than led to believe. :)

25:00 I hate it when people look at medusa as the villain of the story, as the monster. It wasn't her fault she got cursed, it wasn't her fault people who look at her turn to stone, she wasn't the one going around from town to town turn people into lawn ornaments, she removed herself from society and lived in a freaking cave so that she wouldn't hurt anyone. The heroes went looking for her and got turned to stone. I mean what else is she going to do when big men with swords come to kill her, not defend herself?? She was the victim in the story. So medusa holding Perseus's head is not only a message of female empowerment, it is also about her not getting murdered in this version and defending herself form her attacker so that statue is cool on two levels
Eh. I honestly think it's a little on the nose and tacky. Unnuanced. It'd be like putting a statue of a kid eating a subway sandwich outside of a court house.

bro it's mythology. Actaeon was literally transformed into a deer and killed by his own dogs just because he accidently took a peak at a god naked. There was no empowerement of humans when gods are in the equation. Most greek legends where about how much of an assholes gods where to humans. This was a way of coping with how nature was cruel in the acient times to humans. Hunger, diseases, sufferingm there was no "empowering".
Bravo! - This, what you said, is EXACTLY the way we should look at Medusa! - She is the archetypical prototype of an abused woman who had done nothing wrong except being incredibly beautiful. For the antique gods this was enough to sentence her to something more cruel then death - to be a killer monster, dispersonized, dishumanized and without having the choice to control her behavior. The only thing, that she could do, was to retire into hiding. And not even there she could find rest, because she was permanently hunted by male heroes - and at least it was her sad destiny, that tragically only thru her final death she was able to safe another woman ... Andromeda.....

"You talking about femboys. We men don't include ourselves in that category "
You're putting unnecessary and ridiculous standards on yourself and other men. No man has a right to tell you how to be a man. In fact, no one has any right to tell you how to be a man or whatever gender you are (as long as you're being a decent human).
"And femdom is really toxic these days. The more dominant a woman is the more toxic and painful she's going to be not to forget the trauma you dominant women induce in those boys heads who are soft"
Based on what exactly? Like where did you get this idea from? Are you referring to dominant in a BDSM context or in a just regular real life context? In BDSM, it's supposed to be consensual, and if you don't like it, don't do it. In regular real life, both people should take equal charge and listen to each other respectfully. I don't know what you mean by dominant though.
"Oh and I forgot that you dominant women who leads and takes charge and have power refer to your submissive man as your Pet." In a BDSM context, it's consensual. If its not consensual, that's emotional abuse, though I'm not sure what you mean. Plus, what you're talking about is not applicable to every woman.
"Its already degrading enough to say it here I don't know what type of fetishes and kinks you females crave"
You're referring to women as "you females." That's degrading. Also, you can always just ask the other person what fetishes/kinks they want to engage in.

So am I.
I have so many things I want to say but I’ll limit it to the transphobia.
I am in uni and the past two semesters I’ve been studying the beginning of the English language via literature in various cultures. Focusing specifically in native Americans’ literature. The EARLIEST writings of these people - tribes that never even talked to one another and were across the continent - believed in bodies born with “two souls”. They talk about those who have a “dominant soul” or “equal souls”. They go in depth on these people. They describe trans and non-binary people as early as they could scribble things down.
These people are not “fads” or “trends” nor are they just “popping up bc it’s popular” or whatever. Plenty of cultures saw and recognized this and most treated them as NORMAL PEOPLE. wild right ? In fact, back to native Americans gave these people higher roles in their societies because they were more “in tuned” to their souls or more “enlightened”.
I'm sorry, but you are actually wrong about it not being a fad. I know for some people, it is truly who they think they are meant to be, without being influenced by outside sources. However, with the constant media attention and glamorization of it, it is actually becoming a fad ad well. There are mother's who are deliberately teaching their children to be "gender-fluid" and transexual. There are so many lost teens who feel like they don't fit in and not only being taught that they can become whatever they want, but also being encouraged to transition, and feel as if not feeling comfortable with who they are means they must be in the "wrong body". I have literally seen so many trans people who have not only transitioned as a result of their own fetishes, but also are peer pressuring and trying to manipulate others emotions to transition as well, and some of those people have literally said that they feel inclined to transition to be able to fit in with their friends, gain attention, or be more unique. There's nothing discriminatory about acknowledging that it has become a fad. Recognizing such problems can shed light on some much larger issues. Some kids actually said that it was only the LGBT kids in their school who were bullying and peer pressuring "cis, straight" kids. Why are people feeling the need to transition as a means to fit in and be accepted? Because it has been repeatedly glamorized. Many people are already reaching the point where they have detransitioned, sometimes more than once, because they say they've realized they were influenced into doing it for the wrong reasons. This is going to happen more and more as the years go on.
@rocknst I think you might be thinking about the Hijra in South Asia. Most of them are biologically male with a few that are actrally born biologically intersex.
That reminds me of the story I was told as a kid... so long ago humans had no gender they lived in happiness and bliss but one of the gods became jealous of our happiness and split our souls in two, this became men and women, the halfs always trying to find one another, when they do find each other they do there best to try not to lose each other again and when this does happen in there next life thay are reborn as both a man and a women
@@RetardationAwareness children are stupid. Also, plenty of bullies think that any push back they get is bullying itself. Also, teenagers can try something on to see if it fits them emotionally, and if it doesn’t, well, that’s not a *fad.* that’s just a kid learning the way their world works. Why is that shocking and surprising?
@@RetardationAwareness "I'm sorry, but you are actually wrong about it not being a fad." Alright, here's your central claim. Alright. To support this claim, you must demonstrate that people being trans is a short-lived trend and is based on its popularity.
"However, with the constant media attention and glamorization of it, it is actually becoming a fad ad well." Just because it gets media attention and glamorization does not mean it's a fad. Also, there's significant media demonization of trans people as well as significant threats towards trans people (higher rates of violence and verbal abuse against trans people than cis people), so your argument must account for that as well.
"There are mother's who are deliberately teaching their children to be "gender-fluid" and transexual." Cite specific examples. Demonstrate that this does in fact occur and at a significant enough rate to support your argument. Because I'm certain that for every mother that does this, there are thousands times more that attempt to force their children to be cis. I am doubting your assessment of this situation. More likely, parents are teaching acceptance of being genderfluid and transgender, not teaching children to be transgender.
"There are so many lost teens who feel like they don't fit in and not only being taught that they can become whatever they want, but also being encouraged to transition, and feel as if not feeling comfortable with who they are means they must be in the "wrong body"."
Demonstrate that the kids in question that are being encouraged to transition are not members of the groups of people who would benefit. Most people who transition attest to increased satisfaction with themselves and their lives. Those that don't usually cite the adversity they face from peers and family, which is not a negative assessment of transitioning itself but the perception of it.
- "There are so many lost teens who feel like they don't fit in"
People are not being encouraged to transition unless they feel that they identify as a gender that doesn't align with their assigned sex at birth. Children cannot transition with hormones or surgery until they are adults, capable of making such a decision. In addition, they usually need a therapist to give the go ahead before they can receive treatment, which is far easier said than done. Demonstrate to me that most people being encouraged to transition are being encouraged for the wrong reasons.
"I have literally seen so many trans people who have not only transitioned as a result of their own fetishes"
Massive X to doubt there. Did they *tell* you they transitioned for a fetish? Did they express sexual interest in the idea of transitioning to you? Or are you assuming that they did because you cannot imagine transitioning for any other reason. I highly question your ability to assess other people's motivations without hearing them give their personal reasons or them being anywhere close to you socially. Even if they did find themselves sexually attractive in their transitioned body, so what? That doesn't mean that they transitioned for the purpose of fulfilling a fetish. Many people, cis and trans, find their own bodies sexually attractive. But people only make a deal of it when trans people do. Weird.
"but also are peer pressuring and trying to manipulate others emotions to transition as well, and some of those people have literally said that they feel inclined to transition to be able to fit in with their friends, gain attention, or be more unique."
I again doubt your assessment of what trans people are doing, since it is unlikely you are actually close enough to any of them to make that judgement. I also wonder what kind of community these people are in, where they could be so bold, seeing as trans people are reviled in many communities. I'd also like specific examples of those who "have literally said that they feel inclined to transition to be able to fit in with their friends, gain attention, or be more unique." This doesn't seem like something people really say, so I need to verify it. These would be quite interesting case studies/anecdotes, but not really evidence until you can demonstrate a clear, consistent pattern that applies to the greater population. Extrapolation is a big no-no here.
"There's nothing discriminatory about acknowledging that it has become a fad."
It's discriminatory if you're labeling as a fad for the express purpose of discrimination. And since science has been quite in support of trans people and history shows that trans people have been around for pretty much all of humanity, you really have to question if your biases against trans people aren't leading you to this conclusion.
"Recognizing such problems can shed light on some much larger issues. Some kids actually said that it was only the LGBT kids in their school who were bullying and peer pressuring "cis, straight" kids."
Citation needed. I see far more in the opposite direction, so I'm gonna doubt your assessment once more. For one, how do I know that the cis/het kids aren't lying or misinterpreting non-malicious behaviors as malicious. It's a common trend that people treat the victims as the villain. For example, in the Civil Rights Era, black people just standing up for themselves were seen as disturbing the peace by racists. How do I know this is any different? And certainly, it doesn't prove that the LGBTQ+ kids were bullying kids for the explicit reason that those kids were cis/het. It could just be regular bullying.
"Why are people feeling the need to transition as a means to fit in and be accepted? Because it has been repeatedly glamorized."
Citation needed. You have not demonstrated this to be the case. Usually, it helps to ask people in question why they do the things they do, rather than assign them motives, as much as we love to do that. Trans people cite specifically: their bodies are not adequate representations of who they are mentally and it affects the way they see themselves and others see them in a negative/detrimental way. Not to fit in and be accepted (that would be counterintuitive given the widespread hate towards trans people). Also being trans hasn't really been glamorized. What has been glamorized is support of trans people, though not exactly the kind of support trans people need, which is to be seen as normal people and to be given the tools they need to transition and live life peacefully and happily. Meanwhile, transphobic ideas are still widely accepted in society, though less so than before.
"Many people are already reaching the point where they have detransitioned, sometimes more than once, because they say they've realized they were influenced into doing it for the wrong reasons."
People do indeed detransition, but I doubt that you actually know why. Can you cite specific cases where people explain why, so I can hear it from them? And if they detransitioned once then retransitioned, it sounds to me like they didn't dislike transitioning but that there may have been other factors. One factor people always love to conveniently forget about is the fact that trans people face constant discrimination and can even be assaulted if they even appear to be trans. That certainly might lead some people to detransition. And yet, you haven't mentioned this fact at all, despite it being a very important point to address in basically all of your claims. And even then, the misjudgements of some people says nothing about whether transitioning is right for other people. And it appears to be the case that the vast majority of those who do, have no regrets. And most of those that do detransition, do it because of society, and would not have in a supporting environment.
"This is going to happen more and more as the years go on."
Extrapolation moment. You have no idea whether more people will detransition in the future or not. I mean, if the number rises, it's most likely just because a higher number of people are transitioning and you know how ratios work. But, the ratio of detransitioners to people who transition at least once may very much decrease as knowledge on the matter increases and discrimination against trans people decreases.
So my main problems are that you list a lot of generic anecdotes, without demonstrating that they are reliable or indicative of a wider pattern. You also try to demonstrate cause and effect with these anecdotes, which is inappropriate given that you haven't isolated any confounding or lurking variables. You also appear to make assumptions about the motivations of others, without citing their own assertions about their motivations.
Examples without details are useless; I don't trust your examples or your judgement until you give details and demonstrate its trustworthiness to a reasonable extent. I'll provide evidence myself if you need any for any claims I make, but I didn't make too many, and the ones I did make shouldn't be too objectionable I think.

you know the medusa statute makes sense. In mythology medusa was raped by poseidon when she was just a priestess at the temple of Athena, and then she got turned into a monster, becuase as well know rape victims usually end up being demonized
And on top of that, Medusas sisters were also turned into monsters for trying to stand by her. Also says a lot about how people who actually try to stand by rape victims are ignored or demonised alongside them
Not in most versions of the story, though; that version seems to have been made up out of nothing by Ovid.
Elaborating: This particular story comes from Ovid's Metamorphoses. His writing is notably respectful of ancient Greek faith and folklore (unlike most contemporary Romans), and there are some faithful recordings of stories. However, his writing has an obvious anti-deity slant (assumed to be projection of anti-imperial slant he held to), and his story of Medusa's origin is attested nowhere else, and may be created by him. None of the known actual ancient Greek sources treat Medusa as anything more than a Gorgon - a monster.
Where tf does that come from?????
Am I the only one confused by domestic cooking being stereotypically feminine but chefs are portrayed as a stereotypically masculine role??
Because a chef is a professional, and culinary arts require skill and dedication. Naturally, women can’t be considered the best at anything professional, even if it’s stereotypically feminine.
like tailors, like everything
Also they all seem to forget that in order for women to be this stereotypical means they don't have to work because the men are financially supporting them completely.
Funny thing is that a father not being with his family 3/4 of the time because he’s working seems less than ideal. And yet...
@@s7d788 But if they are working 8 hours per day it should only be 1/3 of the time, maybe a little more with the amount of time to drive to work.
@@lorielovesbooks7315 sleep is pretty important too.
I would love a commentary on Classically Abbey, but please do it as a collab with Classically Savy of Savy Writes Books. You two together would blow my mind!

My rule is, that if someone uses 'females' where 'women' can also be applied, that person is always a man.
I can use it. I am not a man, just a biologist hehe
Nope, I say female. I'm a feminist. I just despise the word woman. Have never and will never use it to refer to myself.
@@luna-p Why? Female and woman are synonyms most of the time (tho female also includes girls as well)
@@solace8355 It's just the word itself. I also hate husband and copacetic. They make me want to throw up. It's like how most people feel about the word moist.
@@luna-p kind of like how I’m a woman but never refer to myself as a lady
Ok, I have to comment again because of the Stepford Wives thing: What is it with "ultraconservative" (for lack of a better term) people and being unable to interpret fiction in a reasonable way?
They read a critique of strict gender norms and think "Ah, yes, I'd love to have a robot wife :)"
They read Lolita - a book that is very obviously and by the author's description about child abuse - and publically say "What an amazing love story :) This pubescent girl is a true seductress :)"
They read a book by a socialist(!) author about how totalitarianism is bad and say "Hmhm, a very good anti-socialist piece of literature. I'll reference it in every conversation."
I say this as someone who hates being part of the humanities but: Maybe take a literature course? I'm sure your local college offers "English literature of the 20th century 101" or something...?
I have a passion for cooking and i go a bit overboard when i start cleaning... does that make me a Stepford... husband?
FF: this Medusa statue is holding Theseus's head by her side instead of aloft like the original statue of Theseus w Her head bc it's not seen as victory *and* dominance over her aggressor. I can't remember the article I originally read about it or where I saw it but if anyone else remembers I'd like to read it again and would highly recommend.
(Perseus, not Theseus)
*"What can we do for you, men?"*
Female run twitter account that is _definitely_ not run by a man: _"Hmm, yes, this question is clearly addressed towards me, so I will answer it"_
I actually guffawed out loud, guffawed, at the post relating to learning a new skill during covid. I'm totally going to ask my husband if I crochet him some mittens and learn to make his favorite smelling candle. He would look at me like I grew another head.
When we have a history of misogyny and male privilege, many perceive feminism as a threat to men, when it is only a threat to men's privilege.
Feminism seeks to change unfair privilege men statistically benefit from, such as the ability to harass women or commit micro-aggressions without a large enough threat of consequence, or the privilege of being more likely to gain promotions or higher pay for the same work as someone of another gender. Losing that privilege is simply having something you never should have had taken away. Feminism as an ideology does not seek to damage men or pull them into the position of disadvantage or discrimination that women on average face now. But, when people become complacent with their unfair privilege, a threat to that privilege may be perceived as a threat to their entire livelihood. What many of these men don't understand is that as long as they benefit from this privilege, it puts women at a disadvantage.
✨👏Louder for the crowd.
It doesn't even take THAT part away, it just brings women up to that same level. no one loses anything but their ability to oppress.
damn, how have i never realized this before. thank you for further enlightening me, my good internet friend.
Do white women see criticisms of feminism as a threat to their livelihood and an attack on their complacency with unfair privilege?
I love “knowingly nefarious.” I will have to find a way to work that into conversation.
Skills I learnt in the army that I still use today:
Sewing, ironing, cooking and cleaning.
So what these "men" are saying is that their women should join the army to get the skills they need.
Edit: sorry I should have said "their females ".
"this is saying put your wife in a cupboard" 😂😂 litterly took the words out of my mouth
Literally. Just trying to help! :D
What about those of us that have zero romantic or sexual desire? We exist. Marriages without sex exist.
Then you should become nun/monk (sarcasm)
Looking over at the candles I made during the lockdown... *crickets*
I live in Texas a very religious and conservative area at times - the main thing about birth control for conservatives that are against it is that women should only be having sex in marriage - and that God will decide if you have a baby or not rather than it being your choice. It basically just goes back to the idea that sex is for making babies not for pleasure - very dumb
@Kasey Drapela they also just ignore the fact that not all married women want kids. (Women’s thoughts don’t matter to them. They either view a woman having a child as the only useful thing she can do or the only thing that will make her happy) I’m waiting until I’m married for physical things because of my abandonment issues but I sure as hell and going to be on some kind of birth control when I am sexually active.
Also, about the "women are smaller than men" thing (aside from the fact that it's obviously false), they do know that the average height differs per country right? For example, people here are, on average, quite tall. Me included. If i were to go to a different country, would I then like, shrink down or something? To ensure that I'm not taller than any of the local men?
Why does it seem so creepy when they use the word “females” 😒 I don’t like it
That t-shirt is amazing, but the little nerd in the back of my mind keeps saying "Achtually, tattooing wonder woman would just ruin all the needles, it would be like trying to tattoo granite". And I'm like "shut up nerd" .
I did take up embroidery during a quarantine, but not, because I wanted to please my nonexistent husband with my homemaking skills, but because I had a dream, where I embroidered a very angry robin that twittered "smash the patriarchy" on the back of a distressed denim jacket.
That is amazing. I took up sewing during quarantine, not to please my nonexistent husband, but to make pride ribbons and elaborate costumes for my dog.
@@swimmyswim417 That Is phenominal, if I had a pet, I would 100000% do the same thing!
In America there is a contingent of people who will even refer to center-right policies as Marxist. We broke the overton window
I've even been accused of being "far-right" by "Liberals" (who ironically aren't all that liberal) (because I reject contemporary intersectionality politics/pigeonholing people into little boxes and supporting people being free to be themselves) and "conservative" by "conservatives" (who ironically aren't all that inline with the founding generation) (despite supporting a worker controlled economy and society)... But I'm a socialist lol. Americans have been so whipped by the two major parties over the last century that they don't know which end's up lol. I've read passages from "Common Sense", and people of both those groups freak out lol. The "Liberals" claim its fascist, the "conservatives" claim its "Marxist" (ignoring the fact that it was written before that guy was born)
On The Pill: I was on the shot and am so much happier with Daysy in my situation.
I'd love to hear your rant on American Sex Ed.
I would love to see you also cover redit subs that are similar to these Twitter accounts!
About the Medusa statue... I looked it up and I found pictures of a statue of him all naked holding her head. I think the problem lies with them when they are butthurt immediately after seeing this and of course they sexualise her...
Yes, the NYC Medusa statue is just a role-swapped version of the original that, arguably, feels more cathartic given the myth. The NYC statue features Medusa just...standing there with a stern facial expression, holding a sword in one hand and a head in another. Anyone who deems that "sexual" might have some issues regarding how they interpret female bodies, idk...
@@butcheromance Don't kink shame ya weirdo. Medusa be so hot, she makes your entire body stiff!
*looks down at current crochet project* HOW DARE YOU TRY TO CLAIM MY CRAFT?
Hashtag Stepford Wives made me laugh-snort so hard I embarrassed myself. So there's that.
Hi, I'm super late to this awesome party, but I love your videos! I wanted to bring in a side point I thought you might be interested in - as an afab nonbinary person with lots of birth control experience, I used to agree that it was laughably ironic that male-focused hormonal birth control was discarded in studies because of the severity of side effects. However, someone raised a point that entirely changed my mind on it: when you're considering whether side effects of a new drug are acceptable or not, you consider whether the side effects of the drug are worse *for that patient* than the possible effects of not taking the drug. Pregnancy is an inherently dangerous condition, and therefore drugs that are aimed at helping prevent *that patient* from becoming unwillingly pregnant have a higher threshold of "allowable" side effects. In people who cannot become pregnant, the side effects would always be more dangerous and negatively affecting (again, *to the patient taking the drug, medically*) than the........continued entire lack of ever becoming pregnant......that would be the result of not taking the drug.
Sorry, very long-winded, but this perspective changed how I talk about male-focused hormonal birth control options and I think it's an important point to keep in mind! I hope one day there's a much broader range of options for literally everyone, and all of them should always be free and readily available.
I'm sure I'm not the first to say this, but I love how they think m3n are so superior, but they require women to demean and lower themselves. And if a woman expresses any sort of will or self-determination or resistance or anything outside their narrow ideas, then these alleged supermen will apparently be instantly neutered and powerless. How superior can you be when you require everyone else to submit and weaken themselves to protect your supposed "superiority." And they say women are fragile and weak
"Let's avoid the mental contagion of openly embracing things that are clearly false and forming cultural norms and policies on them. It will lead to dark places once the precedent is widely established."
**Christianity has left the chat.**
him referring to private parts as “cavities” made me shudder so goddamn hard. I’m never recovering from that
Can't remember where but someone urging a change in normal romance descriptions of sex said there should be more active ways to describe women's participation like "she surrounded and engulfed his..."
@@wartgin she sheathed his sword. she tamed his stallion. she charmed his snake. she enveloped him. she danced the dance of Lilith. she partook of his fruit. ok im done.
The US, in some circles, definitely never got over the red scare era
I wonder sometimes if Girl Power is woman's way of reclaiming traits traditionally seen as masculine. I think feminine stuff like crying oughtta be able to be reclaimed by this same token.
I was on a date with a woman and we saw the Color Purple. The scene where the sisters were separated was so perfectly acted and directed that it moved me to tears. That woman never went out with me again. She fit the demographic and believed the ideas that I see many young women here express. Men cry, but our tears are only allowed in extreme situations, not emotional ones.
@mmluon. Then you were better off not continuing to date her. There are plenty of women who appreciate a man who is not afraid to express his emotions.
Tyler Durden made lots of soap. Very...manly man. 😌 Very soapy man. Yeah I bet there were lots of paleolithic lesbians eating quite well, leading awesome hunting groups.
Melania Trump is aesthetically fine.... On the surface. But her personality sucks. So it's no wonder so many magazines don't want to interview her. Magazines interview model citizens, role models or interesting emulating worthy humans... Melania is not a person most magazines in the "liberal media" have either social reason or sponsor reason to interview. 😂
5 biological reasons men are the submissive gender
-great physical strength perfect to serve his queen with physical tasks
-testosteronial rage
-men in nature are to impress women
-men are equipped with a fun phallic body part meant to please his queen and help her make a baby if she wishes
- no breasts for feeding babies therefore meant to serve the woman and her children in other ways.
I tried making it to 7 but running out of ideas. Tried to make them as "sensible" as the 7 reasons at the end there.
El slappo :D The question is: Are frogs biologically determined to like some stuff more?
Hmm... flies?

Reasons I should be dominant in a relationship:
-my shirt is blue

-I like tacos
- I have to pee
-I drank water today

@@princessqueerbie7664 exactly my reasons arent reasons. Like the reasons they gave for who should be dom or sub. Its just exaggerated.
As a not crazy man it makes me uncomfortable when they use words like “submissive” and “obey”
they always seem to forget all those "powerful" men into being punished by dominatrices ;)
We wanna talk about hunter gathers? Lionesses hunt more than male lions. It's scientific fact that female lions hunt more and provide for their pride while male lions "protect" the pride.

I think that Melania wanted to be left out of politics for the most part, we probably saw Michelle Obama more, but she took political stances and was active in politics (as much as the first lady can be, anyway)
Don’t you just love “men” who beat their chests in a declaration of masculinity, but then cry like babies when they get their fefes hurt... and their fefes get hurt way too easily. Women are not trying to emasculate men. They don’t have to. A lot of guys are doing a damn fine job of that on their on. I’m happy to stand by women in whatever they choose to do. Even if a woman was being blatantly sexist towards men; I wouldn’t feel like it was an assault on my delicate sensibilities. I’m a man. I don’t have delicate sensibilities.
I am indeed knowingly nefarious, on a daily basis
😁
As far as the stay-at-home parent thing; I’m a single daddy (two toddler boys), I’m also an engineer. The parenting role is much more taxing and exhausting than the engineering. It is also infinitely more rewarding and fulfilling, and I think that is where the confusion comes from, people conflate rewarding and “better” for “easy”. It is absolutely NOT easy, it’s one of the more trying tribulations in life…but given the opportunity, I would drop everything to do it full-time.
im #indoctrinated 😌💗
Reading these some of these comments gave hope for the future others not so much. I think that a relationship is built on mutual trust and respect. If sex is important to you maybe tou should make sure your partner has the same opinion. I personally don't think that sex as important as some said in the comments. Many things can happen in the future, stress and also medical problems with your ovaries, vagina or penis can change the amount of sex one has its life. This is why people should get together because they truly like each other and their personality rather than sex drive. After all people are not animals that have no self control. I hate this argument that people have "urges" and can't control themselves (sometimes used to justify rape or other behaviors). Nobody died from not having sex. I wrote this comment because I feel uncomfortable sometimes when say that everything is about sex and that not having a boyfriend/girlftiend or sex at least once before a certain age means that there something wrong with you.
the whole thing is identity bollocks
"Nonbinary people you can also make soap," made me laugh. It was like finally women aren't the only ones allowed to make soap! But also who makes soap besides like etsy people?
