Thanks. I was being honest when I said I had just watched the first minute. I often read the comments first to see if a video is worth checking out at all or not.

I have now watched the rest of the video. I think the "..." is important. What you have cut out with the "..." is a metaphorical punch on the nose to men that is equal to the one women received. Both sexes get their deserved lumps. Not sexist. Many women—not all women—buy into the wage gap myth uncritically. Many men—not all men—choose not to challenge women who champion the wage gap myth out of cowardice. Harsh words aren't invalidated if they are true.

A generalization does not mean all, for example: "men are physically stronger than women."

"Unfortunately, thanks to the general susceptibility of women to such stupid ideas, and the cowardly aversion of most men from taking women to task on this easy point, I guarantee you, correcting a woman on this is a great way to ensure you don't get laid."
