The cool thing is, this is the kind of thing that should be posted on r/feminism, but would get you banned if you did.

this is awesome. thank you for posting this.

this argument never made sense to me as a woman. I didn't major in english and writing thinking i would make as much as my male family members who went to school for business and med. if you major in liberal arts, you're gonna make much less than people who major in more in business oriented jobs...it seems like common sense to me.

"Straight" = anti-gay = anti-effeminate = anti-feminist = misogyny = BANT

It's in the wrong place here , it's preaching to the converted.

We aren't victims was such a great line. My god the entire video never once condescended women, it was brilliant. It didn't do that "talk to women like toddlers" thing a lot of feminist stuff does. I liked this. A+

This should be required viewing in every high school and college in America.

Well, that's just downright reasonable, level headed and honest.

Typical fucked-up feminism. It acts like it is pro-equal-rights, but actually suggests that women should just become men and follow male ideals.

The real problem is, that we value many jobs wrongly. E.g. social work and caring jobs are valued much too low. They are fuckin’ hard jobs.

And the worst thing of all is that suggestion that taking time off for the family would be something bad! What the hell? Have we become that much of dysfunctional anti-social dog-eat-dog society of sociopaths?? If anything, men should be able to take more time off for their families too!

Whoever puts company profits over the successful raising of children, deserves the worst punishment in the history of thinking up punishments. Without children, we literally go extinct. Without properly raised children we degenerate into exactly that shit society, that we already partially are.

So, I reject this video. Female ideals are not worth less. And e.g. having a strong man that protects his woman, or not becoming an engineer, or caring so much about harmony in the work place, that they speak up less often, is not “succumbing to the patriarchy”. It is a inherently female trait, and a pillar stone of having a working society!

We need both male and female traits! Not women being pushed into male molds.
