All thoughts, facts and opinions are welcome.

Please try to keep the urge to insult others and/or myself from your answer. It would be greatly appreciated.

Answer 1

I don't have time to watch the video, but I would have to agree that men in Western cultures tend to be slammed more, which partially prompted me to post my question not too long before yours showed up.

Answer 2

Pretty much. Feminism has attacked men for 40 years and I have no idea why nobody has every strongly objected to this on the grounds that it is pure sexism e.g.

"All men are rapists and that's all they are" - Marilyn French (1977) 'The Women's Room'

"Men are the enemies of women" – Professor Ann Oakley (1984) in 'Taking It Like a Woman'.

"I believe that women are the more spiritually advanced s*x" Erica Jong, Washington Post, December 6, 1992

“If life is to survive on this planet, there must be a ... drastic reduction of the population of males. People are afraid to say that kind of stuff anymore" - Professor Mary Daly, from a 2001 interview with What Is Enlightenment magazine.

Why did we ever take this cr*p? Shouldn't the words of these feminists be considered the most politically incorrect statements of hate possible?

Answer 3

Sorry, but being a tyipical politically incorrect man. All I saw was humor (funny humor) with no deeprer meaning.

Answer 4

he is right. Women are useless

Answer 5

i think it's rather considered unethical and self-centered than politically incorrect. Whether one calls someone black or African American refers to the same characteristic but each has different sense of respect and nuance. In that case, it is regarded political correct or incorrect. But, what the person in the vid is doing is rather humiliation and explicit criticism comparing to the authentic types of PCs.  

Answer 6

According to the media, some laws & some extremist feminists, yes.  

Answer 7

It's not politically incorrect to be a man, just to act like one. AKA if you're not sensitive, caring, and all around "womanly" (which I'm not, even though I'm a woman), you get looked down upon.

Answer 8

Honestly, in the modern era, I don't even have a clue what the h**l I'm supposed to be or not be or attempt to be or wish to be, nor do I really care.

I'm a man, it ain't gonna change (so far as I have any say about it), but it's probably politically incorrect to be anything but a feminist.

Answer 9

Interesting thought, however, I feel that women are still x10 more oppressed than men.

Answer 10

No way

Answer 11

Yes it is. It is particularly hard when you turn 18. Because this is when you transition from being PC to PI. And this is not something you prepare for.

I hope this is not considered an insult to anyone but I also believe it IS politcally correct to be a total wuss.

Answer 12

Lol, no that would be rediculous.

Answer 13

it kinda is especially with rape laws. Don't misunderstand me rape is wrong no matter what it just seems that when statutory rape happens between a older man and a teenage girl the man tends to get alott of time in jail. While in certain times the woman and a younger boy they get a short amount of time.

Answer 14

No, it's not PI to be male.

Oh, him. He sometimes speaks great sense, other times, the other thing.

"Sensitivity is more important than truth " (and this is a "feminine value"). No, rudeness was never a male value. He's being insane here.

Facts are not masculine. Women have always had as much (and as little) respect for facts as men. Feelings have always been important to all humans, too (well, with a very few individuals who lack them as exceptions).

Commitment and individuality are not exclusive. Men have always values commitment -- that's who all the married women were married TO. And those men went ballistic if their women cheated.

Children ARE people; dependent people who can't take care of themselves. Men were always involved in this process. Again, both untrue that now is different than then, and that his characterizations of feminine and masculine are accurate. (HE thinks he regards facts? Not thus far.)

OK, so enough of th phrase-by-phrase critique. I'll start listening in bigger chunks.

Most men CHOOSE to marry; not all are made miserable by it. (And it's more common for women to lose by marriage -- many lose their freedoms to become servants; others lose their lives through murder.)

No the wives don't like him because he hates all women.

SOME men grow up, and don't act like teenagers all their lives. The women have lost at least as much freedom. If the men felt they had lost all reason for living, they'd leave. (I know, I said I'd stop this, but he's p*ssing me off. Not just that it's insulting, but that it's innaccurate. Of course, he's doing comedy, but still.)

No one with more than one functioning brain cell fails to see that PEOPLE'S intelligence varies. Yes, there are morons who get away with saying women are more intelligent, but they are WRONG.

As for TV, family sit-coms do favor the underdog (the wife). BFD.

Since it was universally pummelled into women that all of us are imbecils FOREVER, that it's understandable that people are touchy about calling us all morons. Shouldn't take a genius to figure that out.

Uh, spreading seed isn't why we're here; if all those babies had died within their first few months, we'd have died out. Not all children are the result of adultery.

OK, the Easter bit, LOL. (That campaign was run by MEN, though!)

Did he make the case that  it's not PC to be male?

Not even close.

Answer 15

You know, I don't think you have to apologize to wusses, I mean heck,their wusses.
