'This is atrocious I want a citation!'

You have a smartphone. Use it for something other than Gawker or Jezebel pageviews.

I love the argument: "Women are 50% of the population why aren't 50% of members of parliament female obviously there is discrimination of females."

So many things wrong with this I can't even imagine how a grown person can look at that and honestly not see how wrong that is. It seems to me that feminism actually narrows the view of people and leaves any critical thinking aside and its all about some statistics.

EDIT: Not sure if you guys got what I mean, I did not really express it correctly either. I mean the argument is so wrong. Just a stupid person would use that argument and can't believe that girl was actually serious when she said it, and after the speaker try to explain they "boo'd" ...

If I see one more feminist speaker baselessly claim that "it seems like the man before me had way more time" I'm going to give up on the idea of listening to them and just write them off as mentally unstable. There's no other option for a rational person to treat those who couldn't care less about reality.

"Everything is ideology" - this explains a lot.

"There's actually been a great deal of research to show that children actually do better with a mother and a father." -Janice Fiamengo

While I agree with much of her criticism of mainstream feminism, this statement is rather unfair. The best and most reliable studies that I'm aware of have shown that children perform better in two-parent families, regardless of the gender of the parents.

The majority of research showing some sort of heterosexual monopoly on quality of parenting outcomes has been discredited or disproved.

Further, they are conclusively and without doubt shown to perform better in a family based on a homosexual relationship than in government care of any kind.

Here are a few links on the subject:

In case anyone knows who this man is, he'd be a good interview subject.

I can't actually listen to these questions.

The way they phrase them, the way they talk. I know I'm being really shallow right now but it makes me actually angry how stupid the questions are and how stupid they sound asking them.

"How dare you not have a citation for an answer to a question in a 'Question and Answer' session, in which questions were not vetted before the lecture!"

I could only lis^{t^eⁿ}? to the first 45 seco^{n^{d^s}}? before I had to turn it o^{f^f}?

They mad..

Dreadlock guy's body language is screaming, "I just snorted a HUUUUUGE rail in the bathroom."

Just an observation.

Funny how quickly they understand the meaning of citations and facts when the shoe's on the other foot.

"I don't accept that!"

No importa.

I couldn't even hear the second speaker well enough to understand what he was saying.

"Patriarchy was one form of feminism"

Thanks for posting. I really enjoyed this and intend to watch it again and read up on this prof who was brave enough to say what many in academe must surely have known for years.
