In this video, we explore how the male dominated news media has changed over the years to become more inclusive by introducing women and other marginalised groups into it. As the medium has transformed though, it's become ever more apparent that women in particular have started to be used by news networks like Fox News and OAN, to promote ideas which work in opposition to the interests of women. We'll also be exploring new news media, such as streamers, podcasters and influencers, who have borrowed heavily from the playbook of traditional network news, creating a broad, worldwide network that weaponizes women that can appeal to a younger generation of people who harbor right wing beliefs, many of which have become far more extreme than what can be found on television.

they only like an opinionated woman when she's agreeing with them!
@Fat Face Bork Laser this says a lot about either yourself and/or the people you are surrounded by if you believe most people think like this
And they tell her she is soo inteligent when all she Is doing Is give validations to their bias.
@Fat Face Bork Laser yeah but just because everyone has bias or hypocrisy to some degree doesn't mean everyone is biased and hypocritical in the same specific way.
Yeah you summed up this Salari guy pretty well
Thats so true, thank you for the comment.
To be honest, I've always been shocked by the, styling, dresses and the amount of makeup female journalists wear on American TV. The men are just dressed for an office job, whereas the women - even on liberal leaning media - have to wear cocktail dresses. It's ridiculous
It’s always made me really uncomfortable. And I don’t think that it was always like that the way it is now.
A male TV host wore one year long the same suit with different shirts. No one noticed. Try that as a woman on that show format.
It's not just TV. Though not as extreme women are expected to wear makeup and dress to the 9s at a regular office job, too.
I've been told my clothes weren't workplace appropriate, even though they were pretty much identical to my colleagues clothes. I brought it up with colleagues and the main difference was that I wore lots of turtlenecks and my colleagues wore v-necks, and I wore brogues and they mostly wore heels or ballerinas. Other than that we all mostly wore suit trousers and a plain-coloured long sleeve top. This was not a public facing job.
I never changed how I dressed, because I didn't want to be uncomfortable with my clothes, and I felt this was held against me
@@TorianTammas If we are talking about the same host, he did that as an experiment after viewers had complained about his female co-host repeating outfits too often.
Lol White, Tanned, Blue Eyed, Slim and Blonde- I feel like Fox Viewers just have a clear Barbie fetish- that's probably why they like Tucker so much
Why is that?
"Why they like Tucker so much" I died 😹😹💀💀
does it really matter? i don't watch fox news only when it shows up on the tv at the gym. But jeez you guys are overthinking it.
Oh snap 🤣
Accurate
They're all the "I'm not like the other girls" type. Without realizing it's a men-serving concept, and not a woman-empowering concept.
"I'm not like other girls. I actually enjoy being objectified, my bodily autonomy taken away, and being seen as lesser."
@Fat Face Bork Laser I have no intention of entering such a broad discussion about misogyny and feminism at 10 pm. But if you really need one: pro-life women who support wars, eat animal products and don't support gun and healthcare laws. Or are anti-mask.
And also in this case I specifically wrote that this women are to blame for not understanding the internal misogyny of their way of thinking and behaviour. Happy now?
@Fat Face Bork Laser Be more specific, which "logic plot holes"? You complained about how men are always to blame for gender-related issue. I've given you two that don't put the blame on men in any way. So my guess it's that you didn't explain yourself very well.
@Fat Face Bork Laser Your own gender rhetoric, for one. Your (mis)representation of people who don't jump on the anti-feminist bandwagon for another.
@@M_M_ODonnell it's not about women being good and men being bad. It's about the system, created by men, in which women don't get the equal rights and treatment. Men hold much more power.
They all have an Athena Complex. "I am a woman who is better than those women."
And those that oppose these women do not? Spare me.
@@JoesGuy So in order to distinguish who's *actually* correct, we'd have to appeal to evidence. Given that your other comments in this thread indicate that you consider right-wing doctrines the standard for absolute proof, we might end up at an impasse there.
They actually believe that - if they're able to change things for the worse - they won't be held to the same standard, because they're "special."
They think they'll still have all of the same rights and priveleges as before, somehow.
They're hypocrites.
@@JoesGuy yeah, women who don’t shit on other women are better
@Jeremy Dionisio conservatism has always been about preservation but it doesn’t have to be the sick, disgusting thing it’s turned into in America. Protecting national parks originally was a conservative thing. Now it’s a gay liberal thing or whatever
This video reminds me when here in Brazil the president's son said that left-wing women are ugly and right-wing women are more beautiful. And not only him but you can find this speech said by so many right-wing men and even women, like our minister Damares. It's like is very important that a woman needs a man validation for her beauty and that also makes her opinion valid. On the other hand if you are going to look at the right-wing men's appearence you can notice that they don't need to care about their appearence, just take a look in Donald Trump and Bolsonaro.
It's sad that my first reaction to this was "okay let's round up all the beautiful leftist ladies and show them that that's false!" I'm still messed up by their insistent focus on looks.
Anywayyy, I guess this is interesting since traditionally, women needed to put a lot more into their appearance than men. So of course on the right we'd still see the 1950s standard for women and men. And of course they'd see that as a good thing. Ugh.
@Fat Face Bork Laser I think I heard your grandma calling from upstairs, she wants you to go clean up another pile of crusty socks. Good luck!
@Fat Face Bork Laser Try to be a small boy in school. Men look up to strong man and size is one of many ways to project power and dominance.
@@madeniquevanwyk I still struggle with this too. It's still an effort to move my first reactions away from "We need to expand the standard of beauty" (which is true on it's own) to "a person's (mostly afabs) opinion/credibility/worth does not rest on whether or not you or anyone else finds them attractive". I feel sick to myself when I realize that every time I go "she's pretty too!" as a way to somehow defend women who don't fit into the strict beauty standards against people who just attack a woman's looks without addressing anything she has to say, all I'm doing is renforcing that her looks matter more than what she's said, or that her looks are at all important compared to her education or expertise on the matter she is speaking to.
Yeah, it's almost as though there are enough folks who can see beyond mere likenesses or something.
The mental stamina it must’ve took to comb through so much Fox News- I wish I could subscribe more than once bc HOLY SHIT
This made me feel so bad that I subscribed 🤣
For real, I’ll hear a clip when doing laundry at my in-laws and I feel like I’m going insane. I haven’t ever not heard something insane. Candace Owens saying racism doesn’t exist in America is up there
As someone who’s mom watches it every day. I wanna blow my brains out.
I know; I give complete respect.
I would have killed myself in Minecraft in the first hour or so, Salari is the TRUE Chad.
Marilyn Monroe actually had to change her natural hair color to blonde to make herself "more employable". One of her most iconic roles is in a film literally titled "Gentlemen Prefer Blondes"
Yeah but she still dated presidents and famous athletes, it's not like Marylin gave a crap about some random average men wtf.
As a progressive Black woman, I really appreciate this civilized drag of Candace Owens.
You said it, Arnettra. 🤍 Cool name btw!
Seeing CO get dragged in any context almost never fails to brighten my day.
Sameee. That woman is poison
@Fat Face Bork Laser LMAO
@Fat Face Bork Laser 🤭😂💯
I think reason women or other people from marginalized groups would be willing risk having their right stripped for money, is simply because if you are rich enough you can have whatever rights you want. Money creates a safe bubble for these people to run to and live in if things go bad. Their money will give them rights that they helped strip away from others of their same gender/gender identity or race or religious belief, etc.
And well how many times have we seen a rich person get away with something that a poor person would have been put away for years for?
I’m getting fed up of people implying that women and minorities don’t have it easier and have extra rights and protections that low caste Americans don’t.
@Fat Face Bork Laser “slaves for 400 years” Jesus Christ
@Fat Face Bork Laser slavery ended in 1865
@Fat Face Bork Laser you’ve never had your people enslaved either
@Fat Face Bork Laser no you haven’t you’ve never been a slave in your life yet you want to be hard done by despite never really having to suffer like that. Every race of people have been enslaved before, including white people. We just move on with it
I'm southamerican. Alt right pundits here are usually all men. One of the few exceptions was Gloria Alvarez, I'm sure she's on some pragerU video, her field is regular neoliberal anticommunism. One day she dared to say was pro choice. The men that used to be her ideological colleagues now shamelessly say people just listened to her because she is hot. They say it like that, no euphemisms. I was shocked af at first but at the end it's just sad. Grifters like her or Blaire White have to work with people that can openly insult them with no repercussions.
The ability for hyper-rich right-wing ghouls to launder their talking points through seemingly small-time individuals is really a powerful, horrible part of youtube
Right wingers don't have arguments they have talking points, they just repeat them enough times so people think they're arguments
Did you know that the hyper rich 1% are democrats? 🤣
@@juliaborisiak4187 According to?...
Individual right-wing creators on youtube? XD oh yeah the most powerful and privileged group here.
@Fat Face Bork Laser 🤣🤣🤣 Yeah, right?! Really funny though? If he wasa part of the establishment why would he lose money during and after his presidency? Why would banks, social networks etc ban him?
Can we call it the right- wing gap: Not to old but not too young to appear disagreeable with conservative men of any age groups?
I don’t remember who it was, but when Roger Ailes* was still in charge at Fox, he tried to fire one of the female anchors (even though she was still under contract) because he thought she was now “too old”.
*I know this is probably wrong, but the video is over and I refuse to look up his name.
@@omnichrome9784 I'm in a short of quarantine from the alt right at the moment so that could be true but i wouldn't doubt it.
Not an American but this applies ditto to my country's media and conservative women journalists. That beauty standard, loud voice, subtle flirting and femininity, religious (even though they belong to "bad" religion). So eerie how well the blueprint works. There are former feminist actresses who turned overnight and so did many women , young and middle aged.
Same here in Brazil
We are in the same situation in pakistan . Thanks I hate it ! ♡
American here where are you from?
@Women's rights was a mistake yasss
@Women's rights was a mistake hell yes 🥰
I remember reading a lot of comments from conservative/ anti-sjw men saying stuff like “it’s weird how conservative women are the pretty ones”. Just say you only see women with conventional beauty as people with value and move on.
The same people that want their women to look like plastic are the same ones that always champion natural beauty and put it on a pedestal, but then they’re horrified by it in real life lmao.
But then they ignore female trump supporters who look like the "people at Walmart" threads.
Lol what so are you confirming the fat blue haired feminist stereotype?
I think that's the thing that really made me question my thinking, I was even hearing a woman use this argument. It's like isn't this supposed to be politics, it not a beauty pageant. Did you just run out of actual arguments.
@@blightedroses2423 that's a really good point for both sides.
This was fascinating. SO much of my childhood media diet came from watching those right-wing blonde Barbies because my parents and grandparents watched a *LOT* of Fox News. I now wonder if that explains a little of why I'm still struggling to fix my body image many years later, as a not-thin, not-blonde, not-tan, not-long-haired, and VERY-not-right-wing person.
As a salute to your mind-numbing service-and also because I genuinely loved the video-I've subscribed. Thank you.
@Dido Grace- So what are you now??
The real answer should be happy with no care in the world 😬👍🏼
The left is just as bad at weaponizing women and using their sexual orientation, race and feminist brainwashing to have most women not have their own free will without being judged or canceled to choose whatever mate, job or even clothing that they really want.
They can fall into that manipulative trap, and sadly become demonized just for having a change of heart by people who called themselves their friends.
So in my opinion, both sides are bad in their own way, and women should have the freedom to do whatever they want with whoever without being judged and having their lives ruined because of choices they made from their hearts.
The same goes for us guys, back in the day, my so called friends used to tease and scrutinize me just because I was dating a girl that didn’t look pretty enough in their eyes.
I didn’t care about those things, I cared about having chemistry and good conversations with and all around good time with.
Some guys are just harsh in their young age, and so are girls as well, the individual is the one responsible for the type of character they have, weather good or bad, listening to their reasoning and observing their actions from afar should be the way you can really tell what type of individuals you are dealing with.
Life is tough, there are many wolves in sheep’s clothing.
I am happy for you that you found yourself and tried not to be some hollow mask.
@@TorianTammas I am, too.
Ooof, the guy…anyway.
Same here! I was raised on a consistent fox diet and it was pretty shitty. It’s weird cause honestly my mom runs the roost and is the most right-wing woman I’ve ever met - but she espouses the same misogynistic stuff the right does. But all my sisters and I have struggled with body image, and I do wonder if 24-7 Fox News had something to do with it
@@sonorasgirl I'd be surprised if there wasn't at least a loose connection
it is physically painful hearing you say that tucker and hannity are looked to for political insight
Insight is too strong a word... more like assurance for what is already believed
Why painful
They're very good at making faces that imply that they are curious and thinking through all the implications right before they say the things that require neither behavior.
@Fat Face Bork Laser stop 💀✋
That's America. America wants them. America loves them. America got them
The 16 year old me that was a regular watcher of PragerU and PJW would be so angry and confused seeing me agreeing with pratically everything that Salari is saying, and this makes me proud of my progress as a human being
Thanks Salari, another great video 💞
EDIT: seeing so many comments about situations of life almost similar to mine gives me a lot of hope in humanity and in solidarity itself.
God, I remember that phase. Luckily it happened when for me I was like 13 and I quickly grew out of it.
Just one question. How old are you now?
@@simeonkostov3962 Now I'm 18 and a half, but I started to go deep in the "mainstream conservatism" as soon as 14 with the conservative wave that elected Trump, peaking in the alt-right of the likes of PJW and Black Pidgeon Speaks around 16 years old. It was a wacky path to discover what I actually believe and support.
@@nomesobrenome336 Thanks for the elaborate answer!
You're awesome man. Love hearing stories like that. I was nearly sucked into that vortex myself once upon a time, and I'm ashamed to say I used to enjoy watching characters like Gavin McInnes. I thought he was hilarious, until I realized what a jerk he was. Suddenly, he didn't seem so funny anymore. I wonder how many people out there have gone through the same thing.
The same happened to children, it really pisses me off when parties use children to push their objective
I agree. I feel furious that Greta Thurnburg’s parents made her some spokesperson for global warming which has opened her up to such horrific bullying. Then they have the gall to say “how can you bully her, she’s an autistic child!” Like, obviously the opposition is going to latch onto anything they can to hurt the person, and a child isn’t going to have the ability to handle such severe bullying
@@McSnezzly Eh maybe she like, wanted to be a spokesperson ? She's had her own reflections and opinions on climate change, her own processing of the situation. She's young but she wants to help.
@Fat Face Bork Laser Who said she wasn't ready for it ? Wasn't it her who wanted to ?
I think it's pretty important we have young people who call out the generations who have the power to change things now. I don't see other older climate activists being as proeminent
What powerful people put her there ?
@Fat Face Bork Laser
Or maybe we should actually go after the grown adults bullying her for no reason. There was really no reason why fox news went apeshit over her.
@Fat Face Bork Laser I don't like comparing Greta to a "child actor". And Greta is of my generation. Like Malala or other very young people who did what they had to do - meaning that they said what they wanted. The idea of this grand conspiracy around her to sacrifice her only make it look like children or teens (more precisely) can't give their opinions on a political stage - which is very tiring and revolting when we are the one who will suffer the inaction of the ones now in power. This complacency, this figure of poor child manipulated by bigger than her who should be in school, is just terrible when you know what she denounces - that nobody cares about our voices, that we're told we're just exagerating and that we have no place in politics even when discussing issues affecting our future - that we are too fragile, poor children.
They can’t speak above men so they speak above women to feel better
A little sad you didn't think to include Blair White in your analysis. She's the Candace Owens of trans women and her existence really goes to show how broadly your points apply. She's even conventionally pretty and blonde like so many other female conservative icons.
Otherwise great video though.
isn't she brunette lol?
@@mavymagdowney9798 omg you're right lmfao. I have no idea where that came from. I can only plead sleep deprivation.
Oh gosh…not her 😬😬😬
On that note, it’s funny how Caitlyn Jenner thought she’d be accepted by the transphobic right wing
Oh my god she's not ugly? How dare she? That's such a toxic conservative thing, I can't even.
Reminds me of a Lenin quote. 'The capitalists will sell us the rope with which to hang them.'
XD. What a nazi.
Ah, yes, a murderous quote from the murderer and coward Lenin.
That's capitalists for you -- anything for a buck, to the very end. You'd think at least some of them would realize that they'd also be happier in a more egalitarian world, not having to fight and scrape for every shred of power anymore, and that the one who dies with the most toys is still dead, but apparently power and wealth have become values in and of themselves to the right. Such idiocy.
@@jemolk8945 that’s the fucking problem with every society. only a machine could maintain a society like this because it can have emotional biases. You will always have people who will hate each other and that will lead to inequality.
@@thegreatjohnjohnson4016 I thought the comment was rather self-explanatory. And as for the "but that applies to all possible societies" thing -- no, it really doesn't. Seriously, whenever I argue with people who favor capitalism (NOT capitalists -- that term has a very specific meaning in this context) or witness such an argument from another leftist, it's damn near inevitable that the problems get blamed on some nebulous "human nature" by implication at the very least, and that's just not accurate. Capitalism's precise problems did not arise in early hunter-gatherer societies, nor in, for example, the Iroquois Federation, nor in a bunch of smaller tribal groups in precolonial Africa. They all had their own problems, sure, but they didn't have issues with boundless greed being the norm, and that's because they didn't reward it nor make it a core part of their ideology, where capitalism does both.
Sorry for the brusqueness, by the way, but this point is one that seems like it needs to get refuted every time someone new shows up in a leftist space for the first time, and I just don't have the mental energy to be particularly generous about it at this point.
OH NO! fox really does make their female anchors on an assembly line
Did you remember to buy your blue hair dye? Wouldn't want to stand out, right?
"We are the party of individualism! Now be sure to look, dress and act exactly according to this specification sheet or we'll leave you to die.

They came from the koch brothers assembly lines
@@JoesGuy Still on the "blue hair sjw" thing? Y'all really can't think of anything new since 2016?
@@lotsofuwuenergy3983 They always say blue. XD
I made a joke in my own comment before coming down to the comments, but yeah, they ALWAYS go for blue. Sometimes pink. They used to get on the dubbed Big Red woman with dyed red-red hair, but they stopped and switched to blue, because I'm convinced they see the color blue as "the dems." Notice how they don't get on any other wacky color outside of blue.
Why don't they be realistic and point out that while liberals and progressives generally do like, or are neutral to blue hair, a rainbow of hairs always **trump** just one blonde color. And not delved in totally eugenic hoo-hah to boot. XD
Moving on, there is not a single thing wrong with blonde haired, blue eyed individuals. That's just how nature made them, along with everybody else, and every human color combination and variation is beautiful in it own way. We may have preferences for looks, but that on it's own is cool. But in the world of conservatives and Fox, yes, there is some Hitler residue going on there. And it's a shame that all because of one very NON blonde/blue eyed foghorn psycho, all blonde/blue eyed people have to always have those stupid Nazi jokes over their own genetics that they have absolutely no control over.
I’ve always been surprised at how uniform the “beautiful” standard is for women in the west. Blond, slim, blue eyes. Like, even if you enjoy that look, doesn’t it get boring after a while? Wouldn’t you prefer variety to the assembly line of generic Karens?
i agree! as a lesbian, i'm much more likely to stop n drool over a diverse group of women than a bunch of 'perfect' looking women
Well, it brings to mind another ideology that idealized slim, white, blonde, blue eyed people…
That’s what I’ve been thinking lately, it just get boring after a while.
Ahh that's really interesting to think of!
Cuz there rare
Ngl I love the comments under conservative women’s channels. It a bunch of conservative coomers praising them and calling them pretty. Literally seen people say that they hope the women have loads of babies. Bit weird but alright.
I strongly approve of your profile pic!
"We're not sexist, we habe uteru- I mean women working here! Next up, here's Conventionally Attractive Non-Threatening Corpo-humanoid #254 with a 20 min manufactured outrage about, I dunno He-man or some shit! Remember, The Cruelty Is The Point!"
ahhhhh, despite being radicalized by fox news late in her life (rest in peace she died before trump became a thing) my nana did always have one consistent complaint about the news, and that was that the women on it looked stupid as shiiiiiiiit. her insulting their haircuts was almost a routine. hard to say if part of her realized how homogenous this whole charade was or not but i like to hope so
That's not necessarily nice. You're once again judging women's intelligence based on their looks? The whole BIMBO thing is misogynistic as fuck. How can you not see how this is problematic?
@Fat Face Bork Laser I'm an anarchist. And I agree with Ayraman.
Sounds like ragging on women for how they look (which is decided by an onset stylist) is part of that radicalized mindset. My mother would do the same, but as an adult, I realized that it's rooted in envy and low self-esteem. Every woman on TV was dressed "like a wh*re", to my mom even when they were dressed modestly. Basically, a woman getting attention, especially male attention, is dangerous to them and their self-esteem, and of course a news speaker will be getting attention.
😅
I would have added that Boondocks clip with Ann Coulter
I think you miss one big reason why people are doing this. People who face bigotry can react to it in two different ways. First, they can realize bigotry is systematic and the only way their life will become better is to fight together with other marginalized people and dismantle the systems that create these conditions. Other way is to become "one of the good ones" and buy into the bigotry. There's a lot of appeal in it. It feels good to be validated by the people who otherwise hate people like you, makes you feel special. The downside is that that system which upholds the bigotry won't go away and if you fall out of favor, you will be thrown under the buss. And you personally have to believe the things they say about the group you are part of. You are just one of the special ones. This is basically internalized bigotry. These people have internalized the things said about their group and so they try to mold themselves into the acceptable version of their group. And when others in their group don't try to appeal to the bigots, they blame those people for the bigotry they face. Because if you believe your group is inherently worse and the bigots are right, the only way to escape bigotry is to change yourself.
There's also the aspect of the hierarchy. Like if you are a white woman and you uphold the white supremacist patriarchal hierarchy, you might not be at the top, but you are definitely not at the bottom. So you try to keep your position and you put down those beneath you, but also won't try to shake the position of people above you, since they have the power to strip you of the little power you have. White supremacy and patriarchy are very intertwined and most of white women you mentioned here are shilling for the patriarchy because of their racism. Similarly the other marginalized people shilling for conservatism are never the most disadvantaged in their own community. It's similar thing why often middle class people uphold classism and capitalism even though the rich fuck them over too. At least they have power over poor people.
@Fat Face Bork Laser that's not a helpful or accurate way to look at systemic issues. You rarely see people with cognitive disabilities spreading conservative propaganda, so no they are not just "dumb", because having lower cognitive capabilities doesn't make you a bigoted asshole. And these people have high educations, if that's what you meant instead.
Marginalised person literally just means “people who matter more”. So sick of it
@Fat Face Bork Laser “yeah white guys have it harder but it’s fine because in the end you still end up better off than everyone else” yeah that’s great. When you realise that “marginalised people” are treated by everyone in every single instance it’s hard not to hate them for it.
@@MrKmas508 I'm sorry to break it to you, but white men don't have it harder.
Obviously there are countries today where women don't have full legal rights and are treated as more like the property of their male relatives rather than humans. But there's still massive issues in western world too. In every western country sexual violence against women is a massive problem and happens much more frequently than against men. Same goes to domestic violence. In many western countries women still don't have full bodily autonomy, and in some (USA, Poland etc.) the little autonomy they had is being stripped away right now. Denying access to contraception and abortion are ways to control women's bodies and sexuality. All these things weave into each other. Women are told their worth comes from virginity and what they can offer for men. They are told by other people (and sometimes the state) that their bodies are meant for reproduction. And when they step out of line or are perceived to do that, they are forced back with physical and sexual violence.
This is patriarchy. It's purpose is to control women, but as other oppressive hierarchies it hurts everyone, so even though white men might not have it harder, they don't have it great either. Another tool it has is gender roles. Women's role is to be a mother, silent and pretty, serving men. Men's role is to provide, wage war, dominate and work hard all the time. And that's leads to a lot of problems for men. Men have to be strong, so they are told "men don't cry" and discouraged from asking for help. This leads to a lot of mental health issues which are never properly treated, which is why men have much higher success rate for suicide. It also leads to men doing dangerous jobs. In many countries enlistment to army is only possible for men and/or only mandatory for men, which are both unequal civil rights violations. The issues men and women face are not in conflict with each other, they come from the same root issue and we should be all working to change that.
No POC today hasn't suffered oppression? That's an absurd claim. In the USA segregation ended in the 60s, that's 70 years ago. Black kids who were taught in segregated school system are still alive. Poor education leads to poverty and in USA, where there's no social safety net, parent's poverty leads to poverty. In South Africa apartheid continued till the 90s, so only 30 years ago. In Israel apartheid against Arabs continues today. Black Ethiopian Jews are also discriminated against there. Residential Schools were used to commit genocide against Natives in Canada. Thousands of children went missing and now their graves are being found. The schools operated till 1998. Similar schools were in USA (some of them still operating in 2007), Latin America, Australia and New Zealand. Many Natives alive today are suffering from mental illness caused by the horrific abuse they faced. Another act of genocide done to Natives in recent decades is forced sterilizations and adoptions that were still going on in the 80s. Today Natives face disproportionate amount of violent crimes, especially native women, who also face disproportionate rape. In general too hate crime statistic are on the rise and has been for several years (most prominently against Muslims and Jews (who are not all POC but antisemitism is a mix of religious and ethnic/racial bigotry)). Most recently during covid hate crimes against Asians has been rising. There's much more to say about oppression of black people, including the police violence against them, but it's a whole other can of worms.
@Fat Face Bork Laser True, and that's kinda my point. People believe those dumb things because they want to believe them. And my comment was about the reason why they would want to believe something that goes against their interests.
Fun fact if you say women you don't need to follow up with saying women of color because women is not synonymous with white women overall good video tho 👌
exactly
I didn't realize people did that. I did that myself and I AM a woman of color!!! :O

Yes!!
uhh? i think it's necessary to say...since the point is to shed light on right wingers' racist tendencies and their obvious preferences of (obviously) white women. even the ones who arent white kinda had to follow ((a similar aesthetic)) to be "presentable" in the right-wing media.. as the video demonstrated (straightening hair, speaking without accent etc). he's not implying that women of colour arent women at all, it's just a linguistic necessity in this case 😅 and this is coming from a woman of colour too. sometimes, signifiers like these are inevitable and thats okay??? why erase that part of our identity from our everyday speech when it isnt anything to be ashamed of
In response to your final thoughts here, Susan Faludi wrote a lot about the motivations of anti-feminist women in Backlash. For a lot of them, it comes down to things like being strongly associated with a group or community that has strong feelings about traditional gender roles. Promoting those gender roles might not be good for women overall, but from their perspective it's good for the community and therefor good for the women who identify with it like them. The other is for the more ambitious among them, they see themselves as "not like those other women," something special and meant for great things, but the idea of gender equality undermines that sense of themselves as special, so they double down on promoting traditional gender roles that they themselves defy in order to preserve their own sense of uniqueness (these are your Phyllis Schlafly, Beverly LaHaye, or even Ayn Rand types.)
It's a kind of "slave given the whip" situation. They might ultimately be subordinate to men in their world, but in that world *they're the highest ranking servitors*. A king among the commoners. I remember one specific argument from the people who defended traditional gender roles is because they liked being in a position of privilege (not exact words, but still like they aren't expected to go into the workforce). Other people might not want to be a home maker or be culturally expected to get a husband and kids, but they're perfectly fine with the arrangement and have something to lose if that culture collapses. If the culture loses sway, they lose influence and societal importance.
It makes me think of that one black guy from the Invisible Man. The entire college he runs is one giant con, respectability plastered over poverty and scandal, at the top of which he stands. All he needs to do is act as a yes-man and make the investors (the whites in this case) *think* that they're "converting" black people and encourage them to think that it is good and works.
This "add a woman to the mix of men" strategy is ancient and, like most media traditions, originates in radio. You can still see this practice in morning radio. They industry term for the woman contributor is, I shit you not, "holes". Like wtf, man?

On the topic of Atomic Blondes, the large amount of blonde characters in Street Fighter V's roster has me concerned about the lack of hair color diversity for the rest of the roster.
Blonde Fighter V.
Although you do also have characters like Laura and Poison who have very different hair styles. But...yeah, it is kind of a lot of blondes, eh?
@Lite-Wing Gift Although SFIV also got a dude with bright red skin and blue cinnamon rolls for hair
I think that's just the typical colour of choice to represent white characters who are from the US or Europe, in Street Fighter or Japanese media in general, imo. But I think in SFV there are already a lot more dark haired characters than blonde ones.

This is basically how Blair White functions except she's also there to validate people's bigotry against trans people.
I sometimes wonder how Blair can possibly tolerate the kind of bigots that are drawn to her content and the way people like that talk about her.
Even if she doesn't care about how her actions effect others that still sounds like an awful career.
She wants to be accepted by the right but they see her as sub human. She’s never going to get into their club.
Then at the same time, she antagonizes other Trans people because they don’t fit her binary and sexist views and don’t identify and present like *she* thinks trans people should be.
@@purplehood8418 🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌
I remember seeing her on a panel on YT full of conservatives and one of the conservative women on the panel insulted Blaire and called her man that needs to grow a mustache. Blaire looked very hurt by the woman's transphobic comments but of course, she didn't say anything or defend herself.
she's constantly trying to prove that she's the "good kind" of trans person by complaining about other trans people and tearing them down, but the truth of the matter is that no matter how hard she tries to assimilate, conservatives/ the alt-right crowd will never respect her. I would feel bad for her if she wasn't perpetuating so much harm and bigotry.
@@junipermuniper I don’t feel bad for Blair anymore, she knows she’ll never be accepted by the Right wingers yet still harms her own community for her own benefit. Fuck her
I think that this whole thing is similar to how, atleast in my experience in a very conservative U.S. state, that the most misogynistic and sexist things said to me have been said by other women. I swear it's like they have Stockholm Syndrome of something. It's absolutely insane to me
idk why but this gives me the vibes of being the adult version of the "not like other girls" attitude, but obviously with greater and more harmful consequences to other people
As the one man in a family of conservative women, this video speaks to me. Women play a pivotal role in shaping the minds of right wing youth. A trap I almost fell into because I didnt think women's judgement in regards to childcare should be questioned.

I actually disagree with the idea that conservative women knowingly work against their own personal interests. The interests as a class yes but on an individual level there are actually women whose main goal in life is to live a stereotypical housewife sort of existance. Totally fair. There are men who would love to be stay at home dads if given the choice. To them the fact that the one working partner household has been undermined matters way more than anything else. What they miss is that the reason the nuclear family is so hard nowadays has way more to do with class struggle and the loss of union jobs than it does progressive gender politics.
Yeah but they will also put up with all of the abortion bull shit that comes with conservative politics, and not all of them will be pro life freaks
Yeah, I've heard a lot who are against feminism say that it's because feminists look down in being a mother.
Yeah it's pretty goofy. They're *so* close to the point. Like, yes, there should be the financial freedom for a parent to stay home and raise children for the members of the lower and middle classes. Liberals want this for people. People just cherry pick the worst opinions of liberal college students and claim that's what the progressive wing wants.

"Social autopsy is why I'm conservative." What is this clown babbling about?
Yeah, that sounds like two smart sounding words cobbled together. But if you have any idea of what they mean and in what context they are used, it makes absolutely no sense.
Wtf is that supposed to mean? She doesn’t like social analysis? Is that her way of saying we killed culture without sounding like a quack???
@@melaniey.5596 I think you mean "she." That's a quote from Candace Owens.
@@TheGoldenBoo yikes, well this is embarrassing. My mistake, for some reason it was Tucker Carlson saying this in my mind when typing it. Thanks for the catch up.
"Social Autopsy" was the name of the website she was attempting to launch. Make no mistake, she is a clown, and her point is bonkers, but that particular sentence isn't why.
@Fat Face Bork Laser If you're thinking of it as some kind of sociological term instead a proper noun it doesn't, but that isn't the way she's using it. It does mean something, it's the name of a project that went over very badly with the public and, according to her, led to her becoming a conservative commentator.
Even in the context of the project, the name wasn't necessarily inappropriate, if a little edgelordy. It was meant to be like a crowdfunded database of suspected internet harassers. The reason no one on either side liked it was because of how easily and inevitably it would be abused to cause more and worse harassment.
Getting too caught up in the phrase "social autopsy" and whatever inherent sense it does or doesn't make is missing the point, taking something out of context to dunk on it when there's already _so much_ you could dunk on while leaving it _in_ context, if you really wanted to. The important thing is how she distorted the story to fit the narrative she's creating. I do not doubt that she received harassment and doxxing over the Social Autopsy mess, and she obviously didn't deserve any of that just for having a bad idea on the internet, but the myth that it was perpetrated exclusively, or even primarily, by progressives is a lie she made up to serve the direction her new paychecks were coming from.
You did a pretty thorough job of looking at this topic as a whole, but I have to disagree with your conclusions at the end where you analyze why these women do this by assuming it’s primarily about intentionally shilling for money, although that certainly has it’s place as a part of it. As a woman who grew up being taught conservative ideologies, I find that people who haven’t experienced that frequently don’t comprehend the sincerity of belief and conviction that comes from being saturated in this mindset precisely because it is understandably boggling why someone would actively promote ideas that systematically oppress them. I find that unless someone has also been through the same sh!t show of untangling intense internalized misogyny in a hyper religious group, they often don’t understand the level of disconnect and sincerity of beliefs you have to overcome to get out of it, because it’s something that it is folded into every facet of your self identity.
An incredibly good point!
Agreed! This was my main issue with the video. Also just saying that these women have an active and explicit agenda, I really don’t think that. I used to be conservative and grew out of it but I never found that there was an agenda.
@@claireyang7440 it’s kind of the same sort of mindset like when people on the right go off about “the gay agenda”. Basically, it’s an outsider looking in and being so confused as to how someone could simply be going about existing day to day in a way that makes no sense to them that the only way they can come up with to comprehend it is to attribute some sort of deliberate plan or conspiracy to it.
@@doll_dress_swap1269 absolutely. Totally agree. There is no gay agenda, conservative agenda, Jewish agenda, etc etc etc. it just doesn’t exist.
@@claireyang7440 personally, I think that there are definite agendas of mainly political groups, however when it comes to actual communities, such as LGBTQ+ and etc, there is no "agenda" because there are no checklists or views you must adhere to in order to be part of the community, whereas when it comes to political PARTIES, then you have to look at your views and how they align with the views of the parties, before deciding which to join. Then, you actually do have some sort of agenda, because as a political party, you as a group have a checklist of things you want to get, that also affect every other person's lives. Whereas, a community such as LGBTQ+ mainly strive for positive change that only affects (or, rather, improves) the lives of the members of said community, and even then, you can disagree with other members on different topics. There is no checklist to adhere to, and even if it did, completing said checklist does not affect other people's lives. Same with Religious groups - a viewpoint does not become an agenda unless it is perpetuated heavily and affects people outside the community. Therefore, LGBTQ+ do not have an agenda overall, but I believe political parties such as conservatives and liberals, do. But that's just how I think about it and I might be wrong lol.
It feels like a form of prostitution.
They are paid to look a certain way, dress a certain way, and conduct a certain act for a while- with no freedom to discent or to introduce something new.
Then they have to go back to their own lives with almost no ability to talk about changes they want to see for the betterment of all women and of their lives.
Its creepy and disgusting.
Every job will be prostitution if described that way. Jobs makes you sell yourself to make money so is that prostitution. We're they coerced into wanting to be a news anchor. We can go all the way to saying that beauty products being advertise is also promoting prostitution.

Wage gap is a myth.
Women's rights....What rights should women have that men SHOULDN'T have?? Seems a lil sexist.
What rights does a man have that women DON'T have?
@A. Nash. Did you watch the video?…
Thought on the final thought: "do any of these women actually believe this?" I think it's probably more common than you'd think that the women in question actually do believe what they're saying (to varying degrees), because they need to. Think of two kids who grow up in an abusive household; one child thinks 'this is wrong' so they rebel and are severely punished for it. The other child watches this growing up and learns 'acting like the other kid is wrong and leads to pain, if I behave then I am good and will be rewarded' thus they start behaving the way they deem is acceptable according to the abuser and are rewarded for it; and as an adult they have completely internalized this message of what is and isn't acceptable behavior. This is kinda what it's like to be a woman sometimes. Whether explicitly told by friends and family or implicitly shown by culture (ex: 'coolgirl'=good, 'liking Twilight'=yuck) we are absorbing a message about how acceptable and valued women behave. I've always assumed that women who say things like 'only a man can be in charge' were girls who witnessed and then found affirmation and acceptance from holding such beliefs growing up, thus turning them into genuine values. And when these values are challenged, they deny/defend against all criticisms the way all of us do when the core tenants we've built our lives on are under attack.
Beautifully put. 💯
I agree with all of this but Twilight still sucks
@@ne241 What is "traditional" manhood?
one thing that's always struck me as weird with how women are portrayed is how they almost NEVER have their hair up? i'm a bias source, since i later realized i was nonbinary, but when I did have long hair I always put it up because otherwise I was always fiddling with it. i even watched a video of myself with long hair and laughed at how often I was moving it off of my shoulders. so now whenever i see women with their hair hanging down luxuriantly over their shoulders my only thought is "aaaa god, doesn't that feel terrible???"
the only reasons i can think of off the top of my head for 'traditionally beautiful' women to be shown putting their hair up is if they're doing something like working out, or being characterized as uptight
Well, idk, I'm also non binary and sometimes I do like feeling my hair, unless I'm sweating. I only hated it when I was battling the urge to cut it :v
i am a huge lefty but i honestly find it super cpncerning how my side just assumes no autonomy on the part of these women. tucker carlson is a monster, but somehow lauren southern and tomi lahren are "usefull idiots". give me a break, women can be as conservative or regressive as any man, completely of their own volition. women like magda goebels and anna von ribbentrop for example had prominent roles in the nazi movement along with their husbands, anna was romoured to be the dominant part of the relationship and magda was arguably more fanatical than joseph.
not all women are progressive saints, i dont know why the left assumes this.
I think part of this assumption comes from how mind boggling it can be to someone outside of a conservative mindset how someone could actively promote ideas that put them at a disadvantage in society. It’s easy to see how someone like Tucker Carlson would promote these ideologies because they are self serving and put him on top. It’s easy to assume that they must just be brainwashed, or stupid, or being used. In reality it’s a bit more of a mixed bag. Like you point out, conservative women are fully capable of genuinely coming from a place of independent power, agency, and opinions, but the context in which those opinions were formed is oppressive and complex. Speaking from personal experience, it takes a lot of time and work to sort through that kind of indoctrination, but also doesn’t take away from the personal responsibility for harm done while still believing it.
@@doll_dress_swap1269 id like to add that female white commentators probably benefit more from the "patriarchy" than many male working class republicans. so men are also capable of voting against their intrests. the world is more complex than some assume sadly.
Tucker Carlson is also a useful idiot. I see no contradiction.
@Fat Face Bork Laser or subcontious reverse sexism, ie. if a guy joins the military out of some sense of gender obligation and dying in the process
@@doll_dress_swap1269 Except I'm a POC conservative and I'm literally arguin right now that what you consider as "disadvantage for our community" is not that. That's literally the whole debate. Like... They believe that abortion is bad. They don't believe that it's good but they're going to lie about it anyways just for money and attention. Why are you so hell bent on assuming that the ideas that your side demonizes, are universally seen as bad???
I think a more interesting discussion would be about why women choose anti feminist viewpoints on their own, not just when they’re getting paid. Kinda like the previous video on how the right manipulates men, but with a feminine focus. Though, maybe a cis man isn’t best suited to host that discussion.
@Fat Face Bork Laser Y'all do though. All the time. But suddenly it's a problem when women do it back? You guys make fun of women for their bodies or what they choose to like, but God forbid we talk about the fact that some of you guys harass women.
@UC3h0MTFqbFU5y4SwOBGV2dw It just seemed like you were playing the victim, as if it doesn't already go both ways. I didn't read the last sentence of OP's comment, so I apologise.
and that's great to hear men's perspective! doesn't mean it will be the same as women speaking on women's issues. everyone brings new info to the table. particularly in the discussion of women on the right, i'd think a woman or someone AFAB speaking on it may be more pertinent, as they would know the experience of a woman in our society.
I believe that it comes from fearing of being "the bad type of women", the woman that isn't desired by men (which I'd like to say, doesn't exist because everybody got their own taste ) because women are told since the beginning of times that what matters is how much men like them. "You are made for men, you aren't a person of your own, you are made to serve people, you are only an Adam's rib", that's what girls are taught even today by society and the media, even in our more progressive society that still need to bettered. Women are taught that male validation is the main role of their life and they are ready to hate themselves to please men. This is where I believe anti feminist women comes from. I wish that women understood that being independant and stopping to care all the time about what men wants isn't being selfish, it's being human. Men aren't perfect beings, they are flawed humans like us. Same for men, women aren't an extranatural species, they are deeply just like you, with the same feelings. Women are made to be true and epic, not pretty and subservient.
What i've noticed is that when they do that (on TH-cam) they receive easy approval and compliments from male viewers, who from the most of their audience.
And i think he is suited for speaking about it, given his previous videos, wich were made with emphaty.
Another channel that make it well is pop culture detective, even when his channel focuses on masculinity in media.
When I clicked on this video, I was not expecting to have to witness even a single second of Dave Rubin's stand-up.
But like nails on a highway, you never know when it's going to pop up in a video.
Thank you for this 👏 I was curious how it would end and found out exactly how it should. Well done.
I do remember that back when I was an incel I watched a lot of women say that type of bullshit to make me feel like I'm justified
One thing to add is that both of the Lauren's cater to the interests of low status conservative men. Hypergamy for example is seen as a good thing by most conservative women as it is very traditional to mary for status, whereas among the manosphere's types hypergamy is seen as both evil and a threat
hypergamy is a threat for women too
@@pietrocavicchioli6128 not to conservative women who belive women should use marriage to move upwards socially or that a man must take full financial responsibility for his family
@Fat Face Bork Laser to clarify I mean it descriptivly and not as as a measure of moral worth, but I would define low status as a being someone of low social status either due to ones class of birth, income level, or career prospects. In the case of the manosphere lauren chen/ lauren southern audience I more specifically mean men from a broadly middle class background but with low career prospects/ ambitions (middle class NEETs).
@Fat Face Bork Laser to clarify I think their rhetoric appeals to downwardly mobile middle class men. Which is to say these men come from semi privileged backgrounds but they themselves have low career prospects. So they are low status within their own class/ peer group. I think a lot of these guys are frustrated that they do not have a lot of access to their female peers. They see these women pair up with men of similar backgrounds but with decent to good career prospects or maybe men of a higher income background. They may also see that poor women occasionally end up with their high achieving peers.They resent this dynamic because they view it as greedy without really examining why it is that women avoid them beyond just the framework of money. Feminism is a good boogeyman which is what makes the right wing commentators appealing. These commentators paint modern women with a broad brush as "feminists that still want men to pay for things." This bashing of feminism and modernity builds a fantasy where there is an era these men can go back to where they would have access to women in their peer group. What is important is that these media figures gloss over what patriarchy and a 1950s social dynamic entails for men and especially men who have low status within their peer group. The 1950s NEET or basement dweller would still have a hard time in the dating market maybe even a harder time because at least in the modern day a guy with a good personality could maybe just become a stay at home dad to a high powered career women.
An interesting exercise is to look at Lauren Chens advice for women and comentary about women vs someone like Kassie West. Kassie actually gives advice on femininity and how to date from a traditional framework in a manner that is useful for conservative minded women while placing very high expectations on men (always date someone who makes more money than you, dont dwell on lost time, get therapy, set high expectations for yourself and others). Lauren minimizes the expectations men have to rise to in a traditional dynamic (women have too high demands for men, men mainly care about looks and youth, women are lonely because of career ).

I live with my grandpa and he is very conservative. I've learned to usually ignore it but he said Biden is an idiot like okay whatever I dont care I disagree but he said all Kamala can do is sit and smile and I found that pretty sexist. Maybe it was unconscious sexism but it was. Women can do so much more than sit still and look pretty.
They are trying to keep people from taking her seriously by talking about her smiling and laughing. On the other hand, if she didn't smile, they'd say she was angry. But apparently, she was able to become Vice President, so she can do more than "sit and smile" 😁 It is sad, because my in-laws have been indoctrinated with the same talking points.

Loved this newest installment. On point as always!
Hi, I’ve watched a few videos and I agree with a lot of your points. But just want to say that a black woman who straightens her hair is not trying to be white. I have had natural hair but have gone back to relaxed hair on two occasions because my hair is so coarse, when it grows long in its natural state I cannot comb or style it. Some people just like straight hair, like how you like to wear a beard.
Also, I don’t sound “black” but that’s just the way I talk. The color of my skin has nothing to do with the way I speak. I have black friends who also don’t have a “black” accent and I find it insulting to expect all black people to sound a certain way. It depends on the area you grew up in and how your family speaks. Not every black person has grown up in the hood.
Thanks for saying that! If I lived in the US, I would want to leave just because of all the racial preconceptions there. Its classification of people as white or black and nothing in between gives me also the creeps. I'm super - mixed, and where I live people see me as mixed, and don't expect me to act white, black, or asian, nor do they call me black because of my hair (I relax them as well, so much easier to style).
America is bipolar, 2 political parties, 2 main racial categories, 2 classes (rich or poor), maybe this lack of nuance is the reason for the terrible social landscape there.
That comment got to me so much, especially the voice thing. You have to be really racist to the core to believe that any black person who does not speak in AAVE or "non-tone inflection" is trying to be white.
Like do we as races genetically speak differently? Is that what it is? I thought leftists said race and genetics don't matter and don't separate us at all??
@@Johnny_T779 there's mixed people in america too lol wth?
Also there's 3 classes in america: poor, middle class, rich
That’s fine- that’s not the point of what he was trying to say I don’t think. He’s saying you won’t find anyone on Fox News comfortably using AAVE or wearing a (lovely) natural black hairstyle. To most of white western society, these things are still considered “unprofessional” sadly, and “unprofessional” is a cover for “we’re racist.”
Many white people aren’t even aware that black hair can be straight hair as well, it’s just differently textured.

19:02 I never respond to calls to action and never once have I subscribed to a channel just because I was asked really nicely. But when you said you had to watch Fox News for *weeks* in preparation of this video, I simply had to silently salute the screen and subscribe.
*Your sacrifice will not go unnoticed.*
Well said about people who don't believe in anything being dangerous and I think a lot of these women might fall in that camp, but also consider that women (cishet white women) probably feel like they are receiving a certain amount of prestige, power, and protection from "staying on the good side" of the cishet white men who run everything. There's no mistress of a conservative politician who wouldn't have access to a safe abortion regardless of how legal it is at any given point, for example.
This is the same reason there's been a trend of some cis white gay men moving to the center-right. When you're only one or two check-boxes away from having All The Privileges, it can make much more sense, from a self-preservation standpoint, to cozy up to those who do have All The Privileges. Believing primarily in self-preservation and one's own comfort to the detriment of others may not be much, but it's definitely not belief in nothing.
It's just very sad that they're wrong... that if the men they sell themselves out for get their way, those men will gladly take their rights away too, just like they would do to the rest of us.
Amazing take as always!
Thanks for the video ❤❤❤
Once again an amazing video! As a woman, these beautiful young women like Lauren Chen & Lauren Southern were a biiiig, big influence on me when I was younger and didn't know better. Luckily I grew out of it but it all seems so clear now. Beauty really is a currency
Girlboss moment.

Good day you’ve uploaded sir
