One Word: Feminism. An excellent new video showing what people really think of feminism nowadays. Only 5 min, no shocking or cursing language, surprisingly powerful.

The last guy on the video raised some really relevant points.

Stuff that if you have an ounce of rationality in you should make perfect fucking sense regardless of your stance on the subject.

It's sexist for a man to spread his legs on a train but that it's not sexist to exclude them from an equality meeting.

To say good morning to a woman is abuse but a woman beating on her husband is not.

Seriously, this is the kind of shit the support and can't see their own Hypocrisy...it's just mind blowing...

There's a thread on /r/feminism that is titled "Really cool video that transforms the new $10 bill to make a statement about equal pay"

I commented:

"Independent Women's Forum cites a study that found that the wage gap nearly disappears "when controlled for experience, education, and number of years on the job"."

After 5 minutes:

Well worth watching!

Also no attempt to indoctrinate children as young as 5.

Is it bad if I find this heartwarming?

Although I agree with the sentiment of the video, my concern is that the maker of the video must have gotten responses that spoke positively of feminism, right? Those voices seem to be fairly commonplace, to say the least.

This video could be incredibly useful for anyone who called him or herself a feminist, to learn what people think of their movement. Like it or not, people see the movement as the video shows. There's probably a selection effect caused by who chose the interviewees, but those aren't the views of a negligible minority.

Feminists want to be associated with equality, but in many people they aren't. If they want to reclaim the association, they could use this video to guide them.

I wonder if they will.

Not that I disagree with the sentiment of the video, but I think it is important to remember that this is someone who selectively took clips to fit with a specific agenda. This is not a proper sampling of the population in any way.

Self-delusion

I wish I could upvote this a thousand times. Excellent video. Very diverse groups of people speaking. Somber, simple, and powerful.

At 3:50, was that the girl who protested the slut walk a few weeks ago?

I liked the first clip. Feminism used to be about empowering women, which is great. Everybody should feel empowered. Now it teaches women that they're victims of the patriarchy and that in order for things to change, they need to throw a fit and make men change things for them.

Feminism in One Word...and then in a bunch of other words cause I have to 'splain what I means, yo.

Jizzmaster3000 · 2015-06-30T17:20:51+00:00

Classism.

wisty · 2015-07-01T04:56:52+00:00

I am disappointed. No-one said "cult".

Imnotmrabut · 2015-06-30T10:49:51+00:00

You must be joking... Terrorism? This is exactly why people consider MRM just as fringe as radical feminism.

Also, do you REALLY think this video shows what people think of feminism nowadays? Or maybe could it be what some anti-feminist youtubers think of feminism these days?
