It's only sexist when Men do it?

[RolandOfGilead]

I do have a higher opinion of Sarah Gilbert now.

It's somewhat ironic that he drops some racism about Iran

As correct as he is throughout, I gotta agree here. "Down with sexism! Also, every Iranian is sexist!"

I don't agree with him. Sexism works both ways.
There's so many differences between the sexes, a very different history, there's a lot of prejudice in the world. I'm sorry, his voice annoys me, everything about that video pisses me off.
I think what those women were doing was disgusting. It's wrong. It's horrible. But I don't feel like anyone comparing the two, because they aren't the same.
God, listening to him in the background is making me annoyed.

Could you be a little more precise about what you're saying for me? I think I kind of get what you said, but it seems a little garbled.

 

[Dragunai]

Yeah, pretty much making this guy my new idol and / or Hero. Nice to see a guy highlight the real world and its flaws as opposed to the one painted over it hiding how imbalanced and one sided humanity is.

And always will be.

That said:

So my solution? Get rid of all of those groups that support women's rights, men's rights, minority rights, and gay rights. And in their place, establish a group for HUMAN rights. Everybody has problems. Everybody gets looked down on sometimes for what they are. And to treat them separately is only treating the symptoms, not the cause. And the cause is closed-mindedness. We need ONE authority on equality, because in the end we want equality to be ONE thing across the board.

I don't know if you realize it but you made a secondary point here, or perhaps I misunderstood and this IS your point but each of the "minority" groups has its own group, Each group thinks it is more victimized that the others and shouts as much when it comes time to find another reason to cause strife in the media we frankly don't want or need.

By having a single entity to monitor and care for all of society we break the segregation created by these groups themselves.

It's kind of ironic in a way. The groups are segregated because they form a group to segregate themselves by emphasizing the thing they think themselves a minority for.

Also, Sharon Osbourne, I once loved you for helping Ozzy create a new world order of Music, but feel free to go fuck yourself. "Its different because one is floppy," Yeah its funny that a guy got mutilated because he wanted a divorce.

Basically women want equal rights, but they want to pick and choose what those are. Everyone calling him a loser and how he needs to get laid are just adding to the problem. Everyone that defends women with insults instead of an argument are not worth the time or energy. Dude is right and I think a talk show that makes fun of women getting hurt is the right thing to do. Really want equal rights, then anything you do, I get to do. I feel bad for women that make less money than a man and are doing the same job, that crap needs to stop. Lets stomp out feminism because its a complete joke. Like this guy and sometimes the truth hurts, hurts worse than somebody chopping off your breasts and cracking jokes on t.v.

 

[tycho0042]

The sexual double standard has always bugged me. I've become somewhat of an absolutist about equal rights. It does strike me as rather offensive that sharon osborne would be able to make light of a situation like that happening. Especially because we(males) would be called sexist pigs if we joked about something similar happening to a woman.
I know it will never happen but I dream of a day where gender equality is left 100% equal, no excuses.
He brings up interesting points but does it poorly I think

 

[maddness666]

It's true. Men get called on being sexist at even the slightest provocation but women don't. But then if you add up all the disparities, Women are probably still way out ahead in the race to be the most discriminated against.

Please note I am not in any way saying that women should get to cut off anyone's penis and laugh about it.

 

[WaderiAAA]

Seriously, that happened? I don't live in America, so I haven't seen that show, but really? That's just sick.

Kinda brings me back to the escapist's gender in video game panel where they were basically calling men sexist for not likeing Trip from Enslaved and said "they're not used to women taking control." I mean, seriously, she enslaved him and I'm pretty sure that in the opposite case if a man enslaved a woman that is a playable character, those women on the panels would not say "yeah, but he is such a strong character", they'd be mad, and so would everyone else.

Feminism was good a few decades ago when it was all about getting women rights and equality. Now it seems that anything with a penis that does anything but bow down a worship the vagina (Yeah....I saw where that was heading, but thought puns and metaphors rock anyway) is sexist. In fact, it's almost become a gender form of racism.

 

[DarthFennec]

I agree with him 100%. Feminism was a good idea in the 60's but right now it's just a sad joke. And Osborne is a real asshole in that video. Shit like this ... you know I see this a lot, everybody does, and I can't understand why more feminists don't. I had a sociology professor once who was big into this shit, we did not get along well. What a horrible semester ...

 

[Jason Danger Keyes]

It's like when men cheat, they're disgusting, revolting perverts, yet when women cheat it's 'funny' because haha he wasn't good enough, she needed a real man.

Also

I didn't know what the wifes' motive was, I didn't know if the man had abused her or not, but that man lost part of his body to a damn garbage disposal!

It said that her motive was that he wanted a divorce. If you're wondering why he would want the divorce in the first place, he was married to the kind of woman that would mutilate him if he misbehaved. Solid enough grounds for separation, I'd say.

 

[mjc0961]

What I think is that mutilating anyone, regardless of if it's their genitals or not, is wrong no matter what gender the person is. And all of these women who think it's okay to mutilate a guy but it's so wrong to mutilate a woman just because she's a woman can go get bent because they're damn wrong. What the hell ever happened to equal rights for everyone? Men have just as much right not to be mutilated by some crazy person just as much as women do.

It's like when men cheat, they're disgusting, revolting perverts, yet when women cheat it's 'funny' because haha he wasn't good enough, she needed a real man.

When women cheat, I think they're just as scummy as when men cheat.

 

[Corialos]

I agree with TJ. The stuff that talk show is pulling is complete and utter bullshit. It's disgusting how we can't seem to escape the superiority complex and equality struggles, no matter who's in power.

 

[goldendriger]

Yep, only men are sexist. Also only white people can be racist...if you're a white man, damn you screwed

 

[Instinct Blues]

The story he talked about in the video is just disgusting. Its just disturbing to see those women gathered around a table laughing at someone's mutilation of another. Also when one them shows any sense and says "Hey maybe this wouldn't be so funny if a man did this to a woman." Sharon Osbourne's response is "Herp derp penises look funny". From what I've seen woman want all the good things that come with being equal and none of the bad things. They still want men to pay for dinner and the movie, they still want men to do all the heavy lifting, they still want to be right 100% of the time,etc.

Its like I told my girlfriend if women want equal rights they have equal rights to being wrong. Though I was rebutting her jokingly saying shes always right, but I still think it holds true in some regards.

 

[Svenparty]

I started watching but then I realized it was theamazingatheist in a cunning "I'm outside" disguise. Most of his videos are in garage areas with his mother screaming outside.

My thoughts:
1.) I'm not watching a 6 minute video to participate in an thread, OP.
2.) No, it's not.
3.) Anyone can call them self a feminist, so if you get distracted by crazy people who call themselves feminists, you might as well go claiming Christians are the WBC or Muslims are all radicals to be consistent. Or you can use your brain to discriminate between "radical" feminists and "mainstream" feminist.
4.)It's not that feminists are hypocrites, it's that they're usually people. People are hypocritical and inconsistent.
5.) We've had a thread on this subject already.

1: Your choice to participate in thread, if thread happens to be based mostly on a video you don't want to watch, then fine. No need to complain, just find another thread or discuss parts of the topic not related to the video without complaining about said video.
2: In the general public image, it is far more acceptable for women to do things like this than for men to do them. The posts below are unfortunately, quite accurate.

Don't you remember the "Boys are stupid..." T-shirts a few years ago? Everyone thought it was funny. What if those T-shirts were aimed against women?

...there would be RIOTS.

3: I will give you that one, this is extremism (to say the least) and extremists tend to screw a lot up...

4: People in general, the whole of society tend to accept sexism a lot more easily when it is directed at men, but very quickly snap when it turns the other way. Equality is about being the same in the eyes of the law and society, not superior, not about getting better treatment. Yes, people are the problem, but the general attitude of said problematic people is to let this slide by when it is directed against men.

5: We have had a thread on almost every subject not relating to current news at least 3 times. But Necroing is not the way to go about it.

Sorry this is so... damn impolite, long day.
And I do realise that the whole people are hypocrites statement has probably caught me at least once in this post.

 

[Gudrests]

Women aren't allowed into combat situations in the military? Where did you hear that?

They are not allowed to be front line soldiers. As in need to check house, most likely under the circumstance's leave the woman with the truck. Same pay, less job

 

[Piorn]

Even though feminists claim to promote "equality", they really only want to do the same nice things men do. You never hear a feminist say:"Why do only boys have to join the army, girls should be forced, too." or something like this.
I had to waste 6 months doing pointless filing work, and girls just don't have to. That's sexist.
