A great vid pointing out something I'd never noticed...

Great video. The feminist explanation for this is that men are seen as the standard, and because of misogyny they are "less", "ignored", "marginalized" etc. Which is partly also true. But it's only the combination of these problems that you get the whole picture, and I'm glad someone has collated some great examples of this.

I find a lot of manwomanmyth's videos are really good.

That is a very good video. It's good as education for folks new to men's rights and a good refresher for those of us that have been exploring the subject for years.

Feminists do indeed go after the language. They want to "control the message" and control perception. As always, they are hypocritical. They only push for "gender-inclusive" language when they want to take credit away from men or stop people from sympathizing with men. When it comes to negative labels used against men, feminists are quite happy to see the terminology remain unchanged.

I can't say I mind the gender-neutral job titles, but goddamn.

"Women and children" are blah blah blah. Well fuck, they're people, men are people too.

Hmm... made a fair point (if not particularly original for regular readers of this sub) but he lost me when he corrected 'craftspeople' to 'craftsmen' during a shot of a female employee. I gotta say that I think this video fell into the trap routinely attributed to feminism around these parts: namely, it went beyond equality and seemed to be just that little bit too pro-men. Frankly, it came across kinda sexist.

yep. it's a classic. been posted a few times over the years too. that whole channel is worth watching.

I was like gunmen that is just a name of people who shoot guns and then there was craftspeople when the word is usually craftsmen despite the gender.

I disagree with the videos premise that Feminism is the cause of misandry. I think that gender roles that have existed long before the Feminist moment have carved the way people believe men should be. Strong, fighters, breadwinners. All of these things pigeon hole men into certain careers and lifestyles and paint the picture for how society views us. Feminism is just hurting our ability to break out of our gender box.
