Link?

But perhaps I can summarize my viewpoint so you can understand why I'm such a misogynist asshole douche bag. Here's my view in brief:

You can't expect to have a rational discussion on any topic that has an emotional charge. Emotion pushes out reason. That is true for all humans, including children, men, women, and people in every range of mental ability. The path of least resistance is to walk away from that sort of fight. Men generally prefer the path of least resistance. The exception is when men irrationally debate with other men. That's a type of sport. No one expects opinions to be changed as a result.

I think he was making a joke and was walking away from the fight against feminists because, as he says, it is the path of least resistance, but he is "irrationally debating with other men" by calling MRAs pussies. Either way, what I think that he's really getting at is that he has no interest in gender issues except finding humor and material in them.

People learn many social concepts or moral ideas from media outlets, TV commercials, TV shows, movies, the news, the internet.

Advertisers spend millions on studies to best attract viewers to their product. Different colors bring out different emotions and such. They use memory retention tactics like repeating products names and associating them with certain emotions or wants. They use propaganda techniques like bandwagons or testimonies, or card stacking.

Everyone is susceptible to this. That's why the big three are the go to beers even though they purposefully water them down, take away any unique tastes to bring hunger for that piss.

Fucking Coca Cola, man. Soda's are ridiculously popular. When people want a refreshing drink, it's not cold water they crave, it's that fucking Coca Cola.

Singling out women because of make up commercials are ridiculous. Beer commercials? Truck Commercials? Axe Body Spray?

In these situations, I think the advertisers are the manipulators. Not that they are necessarily bad, but the ethical issues of trying to manipulate the masses instead of letting the product sell itself is morally questionable.

Also, Maybelline, Noxell (CoverGirl), and Avon. All companies made by men. That's neither hear nor there, I acknowledge that because what it once was is no longer what it is today, just thought that was interesting.
