Some of his points are pretty flippant and redundant, particularly the issues about race, but fuckin 'ell, this is an absolute shrekoning.

I'd quote that video Meta posted here a while back that took the opening talk from this but it was taken down.

I want to hear more discussion about Asian privilege. "Positive discrimination" is exactly what "privilege" is about, rofl.

I don't quite follow his talking point that America can't be a worse system than Europeans because the latter is comprised of more whites. Whites controlling American politics are distinctly different groups from whites controlling European politics, America could most certainly be a system that favors whites.

That's probably the most racist thing you could've possibly said.

Honestly, I have never taken him serious, and never really cared to watch his videos.

Because honestly, they are just stupid. I mean to be honest most of the hate for feminism is kind of stupid. The sad things is that most people are simplifying the argument of feminism into black and white. Seriously feminism is a really hard topic to grapple and goes over a huge amount of issues from both patriarchal society to attacks on females by the females themselves.

Hell one of the biggest opponents to feminism in most of the world is mainly other females. And is very noticeable in poor and underdeveloped countries. Now it is true that other countries have a dire need of getting women their rights, but it does not excuse the fact that females, and successful females have a harder time in North America.

On the other side though Men Rights or Men issues are not taken seriously. Men are having a huge issue in trying to define themselves, due in part to their roles and public expectation of them becoming so rigid that it is hard to push out of that conformity of what a man is.

Still as this topic seems to be about feminism, although some people like to dismiss it, there are still issues, even in Western Countries. Hell there is a big issue as to why females have a hard time in some STEM fields, both in adapting and being accepted into the STEM community. For some reason certain fields like Programming have had history of women being alienated, either due to jealousy of their success, sometimes attributing it to them being female or to them not being comfortable with the male discussion. Although not widespread as believe there is an existence of it somewhere, and could be attributed to jealousy or simple bullying tactics that were transferred from young age to older age. But the problem still exists and it is worth checking it out.

I will also point just because feminism is still needed does not mean there are problems elsewhere, and we should ignore other discussion like Men Issues or Racism etc.
