"Feminists are your best friends"

LOL

This idiot was on Bullshit, where Penn and Teller tore her to shreds. She's one of the idiots who thinks porn is turning lots of men into rapists and pedophiles despite the fact that there's no evidence that this is the case. She's like the crazy Republicans insisting that video games are turning lots of kids into school shooters.

(Telling to men):

Feminists are your best friends. We are the only group that really believes in your humanity.

She -intentionally- forgot to add "...after castration".

Seriously, how's that different from a cult?. "We are your best friends, we are your best friends, we loooooove you...". Geez, I'm not sure if that's laughable or creepy.

Words fail me. Patronising BS.

Ouch. That was painful. There's got to be a name for that psychological tactic.

"Here's what other people are saying about you, nasty nasty things. You eat children, you kick puppies, and you wet the bed. Not us though, we never say that. We're your friends! But we just told you what those other people are saying, so you have that fresh in your mind. In fact, you only ever heard those things from us, just now."

It's like some sort of cult indoctrination.

Wow. She's got a hook, but it's still baited with bullshit. Do you have a link to the full video?

The full video: http://youtu.be/Ng172g_F8rM

Her characterization of the porn industry is essentially dishonest. Her characterization of male sexual appetites is a construction of her own, which bears no relation to the sexual appetites of most men I've ever met, and is not supported with evidence, because it could not be so supported. Her constant harping on 'Patriarchy' ignores any personal responsibility on the part of regular women or porn actresses (or men for that matter.) And her treatment of men as universally susceptible to exploitation by the porn industry, and the resulting sexual pathology she describes, is the essence of gender essentialism. Then, to make it just about as bad as it could get, she ends the lecture by saying that feminists needs men to fix the problem for them!! In short, this lecture is bollocks dipped in bollocks-batter, served with a large side of bollocks sauce.

It's funny, because in the entire history of feminism, not a single piece of feminist action or legislation put forward has ever had "how can we help men" or "how can we achieve gender equality in a way that benefits both men and women" as its motivation. Feminist has always been about serving women's interests, either at the expense of men explicitly or obliviously. The very misconception of "patriarchy", and the male stereotypes which are associated with that concept, are anti-male(it's unrealistic, it's vilifying and it's destructive, given what is justified in the name of "fighting patriarchy").

Also, all the negative stereotypes that exist against men aren't anything new and they certainly predate feminism by... just about most of human history. The reality, however, is that feminism did not fight against those stereotypes or work to actively defend men in any way, shape or form. Instead, they used those stereotypes to their advantage, every time it was convenient to do so, and created an environment where those anti-male stereotypes are deemed socially acceptable(and probably more popular now than ever) and anti-female stereotypes are offensive(weird how that happens, when feminism are men's best friends).
