Was on ONTD, this video kept coming up so I was wondering how ya'll felt about this. It's like 2 minutes but if you don't want to watch he basically says women are courageous to continue to date men because statistically they're the #1 threat to women.

I had no idea that men were the #1 threat to women I thought cancer or some terrible disease was tbh :S

Not you just getting into Reverend Louis CK.

Men are taught to hate femininity and women so yes.

!

inb4 this turns into "but i'm a good guy!" replies and people arguing over feminism

They aren't taught to hate them, just taught that they are more important

the ever so popular "not all men are like that" comment that always shows up when it comes to discussions like this

"I'm gay , pro woman but I'm not a feminist "

BUt not all men!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!

It sounds as if we're hunting them or something

Men are taught by the media that they are evil and no matter how good of a person you are, women are more important and you are a threat to them. This obviously does not condone anyone's actions but "feminism" is making matters much worse.

and so it begins

I don't think you know what feminism really is then

You can't possibly believe this ********? Omg

I don't know what to say without getting attacked: I'm a gay male and I am strong on feminism, but I kind of think its unfair to group all men together and pluralise them. But, I sort of think that men need to shut up and deal with this criticism and generalisation as a result of the way women were/are treated.

actually Royal Culture isn't totally wrong. In a lot of situations it's the men that get the short end of the stick, women are just at a disadvantage more

I specifically said that this doesn't condone anyone's actions. The media can't force anyone to do anything. However, it is communicating to girls that all men are evil and telling men that they are a terrible person simply because of the gender they were randomly born into.

Again, this doesn't justify anything, but people who are actually worried about rape or murder would not argue on the side of "well I can do/wear/act whatever I want and it's not my fault." While absolutely true, someone actually concerned about being raped would think "wow, maybe I should be cautious and not try to draw attention to my body just in case some basket case gets the wrong idea. It wouldn't be my fault but better safe than sorry."

The media paints a terrible picture of men and that's a fact, but that doesn't justify anyone's horrific actions.

I feel like women are a threat to themselves sometimes

I agree . Of course ATRL is overly-feminist at times so no one would agree with you except a select few
