Agreed. I understand where that guy is coming from. Depending on the day, I know it will just frustrate me to watch 30 minutes of someone spouting feminist bullshit. But I recognize that it's just me, on that day, not being in the mood for it. For whatever reason, on that day, I'm not strong enough to handle the opposing viewpoint, and I just want to watch something which will make me happy.

As an analogy, it would be like sometimes being in the mood to watch a lighthearted comedy instead of a heavy drama. It doesn't mean that watching drama is bad, nor that you never do it. It's just that you aren't in the mood for something that heavy which is going to weigh on you.

The important thing is, like you guys are saying, to be open to watching opposing viewpoints in general. It's fine not to be in the mood to watch something you know is going to frustrate you. But you still have to be open to watching it at some point, to see what the other side actually argues, so that you can more accurately argue against them in the future.

I used to have that mentality, about these old ideals of a 1st and 2nd wave feminism that values "true equality". As I've learned more about feminism, I've began to believe that feminism, in all of its waves, was always anti-men. One of the videos that really opened by eyes was this one:

I fact checked the information and couldn't refute it.

What you realize the further you dive down the feminist rabbit hole is that so-called "radical feminists" actually make up the majority of feminists in academia and in lobbying positions. The ones you see who champion what you idolize as the ode to 1st and 2nd wave feminism are in the minority, and are ironically branded as misogynists and rape apologists today (e.g. Christina Hoff Sommers).

There's a divide between structural feminism (by that I mean the theoretical side that is all over academia and lobbies) and your run-of-the-mill woman-at-a-bar feminism. The latter believes it's about gender equity, whereas the former believes in a systemic patriarchy that has always oppressed women, when reality couldn't be further from the truth (societies have always protected women and valued them above men at the cost of male disposability).

To quantify this a little bit, here's how feminists calculate the gender inequality index.
