  • there are lies, dam lies, and then statistics, he is making all these dumb correlations. This guy is just anti male.

  • holy shit its angry black from the howard stern show

  • Males are the perpetrators of violence if they have nothing to do. In countries where there's not enough women to go around, they resort to crime and to rely heavily on sex trafficking to give them what they need or they are drafted into wars to 'keep them busy' or they may be pursuaded to give up their lives in hopes of attaining multiple virgins in heaven. Until societies become more balanced and place emphasis on the importance of BOTH genders, these problems will continue to occur.

  • this guy is a true faggot

  • what a load of provable bullshit. men are not the majority purpatraitors in domestic violence, women are, by a big margin. men are just the ones going to jail for it. a man has to work for his money, espesially in the us, a woman, certainly if she pops out a kid, is set for life.

  • @rasmAn2

    Where's your proof?

    Are the injuries these women end up with self-inflicted?

    Set for life as in poverty-stricken?

  • 88 percent of husbands still make more than their wives. Also, childcare in a big city can cost 1300 dollars a week for three kids. Even if your wife is making 80K a year she is a financial drain on you if she works and you have kids. Her working is only beneficial to big corporations who drive down the cost of labor, and governments who get to manipulate the broken home that results with their court system. Oh well, I guess. Let the TV raise the kids, women need their empowerment.

  • @mrgimp420 Actually, the solution is probably to have less than three kids...

  • @MrSaemisch Tell that to the single mums with three kids.

  • I see what he is saying Men for a long time have had this stable job role in society of labour intensive jobs like brick laying or welding for example, and the working sector in these areas is getting smaller and smaller. On the bright side though the next generation of men seem to be moving in a more academic direction because they have seen this change coming. It won't be long before these men he speaks of are for the most part retired and the next generation is taking the wheel.

  • "the problem with men" When women have a problem it is not their problem it is the patriarchy holding them down and picking on them simply because they are women and they all need more money and more help from society to get what they want. When ever men have a problem it is not a problem men are having it is a problem that men are. He is saying men are the problem. "The problem with men" not a problem men are having. You know what people men are human beings too.

  • @johnman1911 Well said!!

  • @TheLoyalOfficer Thanks!

  • It is amazing how self importantly inconsequential women can be on one hand and then turn the world on their narcissistic victim mentality. Yes most people care about human rights. Most people care more about female rights because they are more emotionally expressive and tug on our heart strings. That is why we shame men who cry. We want men out their accomplishing things to make our lives easier, and if we care about them too much then who is gonna risk life and limb for us? Women?

  • YOU LOOK LIKE A DICK WITH EYEBROWS.

  • your example of Iran as a male dominated society can't be more wrong. For the past few years universities have had twice as many female graduates as they've had male graduates.

  • Nobody who has been to India thinks of it as 'nipping at our heels'.

  • this guy is a turd

  • Surplus males surplus males surplus males. Now we are not only goods dispensers we are the goods. And here is the kicker my friends "women with higher rates of education have a very hard time finding spouses"  funny how when men had to financially support women, women called that oppression of women. But god knows it is a problem of women who have to take care of their husbands at all. It makes me wonder if women were kept in the home because that is the only thing they would do 4 society.

  • This is one big thing with the so called "oppression" of women in history. Men didn't want women to be put in tough positions and women didn't want to be in them either. And today women still don't. All the bottom level jobs in society are still almost exclusively held by men. And by bottom level I don't mean low paying I mean deadly. I mean physically exhausting, emotionally jolting, consciously unforgiving, and interpersonally harsh.

  • There is no taking back a mistake made by a construction worker, truck drive, heavy equipment operator, so on and so forth. There is no watching you tube videos at work when the boss isn't around. You lose concentration for a second and the results can be disastrous. There is a reason women don't do these jobs. It is because women value their lives more and the rest of society values women's lives more also.

  • "if you rely on your strength in order to earn an income that relies on you to take direction but not necessarily take it very well" This man has never had a construction job in his life and you can tell by this comment alone. If you don't take direction well in one of these physical jobs dominated by men that he is describing you will not only hurt the bottom line and be fired ,but you can get people killed and injured. It is not a climate controlled office with a delete button.

  • "Social intelligence" Women have more social intelligence? Oh you mean the ability to get others to do things for them? Or do you mean the ability to work to together on huge productions like cities, bridges, airplanes, or pretty much anything that has been built by humans. Wait let's just skip the latter it isn't helping this guys point at all. Now the former this is where it all lies. So how could women be better at getting free services from society? That is the question.

  • "the problem with men" "their reaction has been to withdraw" You call men not being able to find a job a problem with men. Then you say men not being able to find a job is withdrawing. All in the first thirty seconds of the video. "What is the problem with that?" He asks. Well he is gonna tell us "Masculine impulses" he says. So if men aren't working to provide they aren't worth a shit. What about when women weren't working to provide? Oh that's right, that was oppression.

  • "What is the economic problem with men?" Notice it is a problem with men. What is wrong with men? It is not what are men's economic problems? Why don't they say what are men's economic problems? Because whenever men have a problem it is their own fault. Whenever women have a problem it is somebody else's fault. Why? Because women are precious little goodie two shoes angles who would not do anything wrong.

  • @johnman1911 Sooo fucking spot on!!

  • @johnman1911 The economic problem with women is that they keep buying make up and high heels to try and make men happy. This is bankrupting America. If you think that response is crazy, try reading what you wrote. "What is the economic problem with men?" The point of this sentence is that men being out of work changes the way they act. This is true. Many of the posts here and elsewhere indicate this is correct. I know it's a rough time. I too, was in the construction trade.

  • @Buntzums I have a problem with makeup and high heels myself. High heels are bad for the feet and I would not wear them if I was a woman. I personally don't think women should wear makeup at all. Cleavage at work is something I see as unprofessional. Designer clothes and handbags that cost an arm and a leg are bullshit. Fashion is about elegance and not about how much you paid for your clothes. Women can look good by staying healthy and without all the crapola.

  • @Buntzums If some of these women knew they had more to offer men than there looks we would not have this problem. But these women want men to pay for dates and doddle all over them making them feel special, instead of trying to connect on a real level. These women want to flaunt their sexual power and revel in it then go into the office in high heel, a short skirt, cleavage, jewels, lipstick and makeup and use that to get what they want then complain about equality when called out.

  • @johnman1911 I'm not saying I care much about cosmetics. It's supposed to be ironic. The statement you made speaks of men trying to make women "happy" causing all the issues. It's an oversimplification. Also it is important to note that women pander to men. Even today. To say men are more interested in making women happy is very visibly untrue. Unfortunately. Women are usually willing to take a job with lower wages and equal work to avoid confrontation. I encourage them not to do that.

  • @Buntzums Everything anyone says about anything is a simplification. Words themselves simplify. Human understanding compared to all that is, is rather simple. What you said about "men are more interested in making women happy is very visibly untrue." Is what I think strikes to the heart of the matter. What you focus on determines what you miss, and what you become. All of society has focused on "woman's issues" for the most part so that is what we see.

  • @johnman1911 That is a fun theoretical topic. Words however are not the topic of discussion. If the context is too vague not only do you loose the meaning, you loose the point.

  • this video is overt sexism. Men do all of societies important work...... how could this guy say that men are over specialized and rely on Braun? Females favour nice clean air conditioned offices and lots of money to go shopping.

  • @o0POSH0o Overt sexism is the name of the game in this day and age. Women have gotten away with covert sexism so much that they just keep pushing the envelope. Now it is right out in the open and nobody gives a fak. The fact of the matter is that men are biologically and sociologically breed to take care of women. We want women to be happy much more than they want us to be happy.  We just keep on giving and giving and they keep taking and taking. Victim power may be the greatest of powers.

  • I see a lot of anger by retarded males in this comment section. By the way, I'm a male. ;)

  • Oh look...

    Someone paid to bad mouth men for the work of the state.

    STOP BLAMING MEN FOR THE GOVERNMENT'S MEDDLING, OH AND NICE TOUCH EQUATING MEN WITHOUT JOBS AS SURPLUS, RESIST THE DRAFT AT ALL COSTS, THEY'RE GEARING US UP FOR WAR

  • A world that relies on brain power? Only if we manage to make robots do all the hard work for us, labor force is still necessary. The best solution is education, it's simple, with equal access to good education, an individual's social-class, sex, gender, religion, job are meaningless to the society, they tend to be more productive individuals and less violent. Mind, I say "tend", cause there's no perfect solution.

  • im guessing this egghead learned all this pseudo-wisdom in school and has almost zero real-life experience/knowledge.

  • @braincabin Yet you're sitting here listening to him...not the other way around.

  • Prime age males not participating in the labor force? This bald a-hole is a moron. The "company" line is that CEOs and capitalists will not participate in the economy via investment if they do not get huge socialized guaranteed profits and minimum taxes, but when they do we get economic meltdown. Wonder why working people do not want to participate in the labor force if because the labor force these days is like a work camp, work harder for less money, die slower, and who cares.

  • The problem with what he said, at least in the US, is women commit half, if not the majority, of domestic violence.

  • @SpazzzDog from what source have you gathered this information?

  • @Lifesucksdie123 The CDC

  • @SpazzzDog no. males are the vast majority of ALL criminals, 90% of murder, bank robbery, assault, etc., including domestic violence. women are on average 5 inches shorter and 50 pounds lighter. they haven't manage to overcome and become violent suddenly behind closer doors. thousands of men aren't being abused. they aren't going to hospitals or calling the police. it's not happening.

    not just in the US. that's also worldwide. men are the problem in yemen, the congo, etc. just stop lying.

  • @karlsmith00 In the West, most of the crimes committed by women are sanctioned by law. Women also commit violent crimes: kill their children,assault their husbands but get lighter sentences.Women commit at least 40%, if not more, of intimate partner violence. Where did you gets your numbers from? It's all in your head because that's the stereotype. You aren't in all the hospitals seeing any of that, there's no way you can simply know who is being attacked by who without looking at the data.

  • @SpazzzDog uh no, bitch. women don't commit crimes. that's what's happening.

    how many fucking times do i have to teach you fucking losernazis this? NOW IT'S 40%? now it's not 40%. it's 5% at the most. males are the cause of NEARLY ALL VIOLENT CRIME, and that includes domestic violence.

    I GET MY NUMBERS FROM REALITY, WHICH YOU AREN'T DEALING WITH, LIKE THE TYPICAL LOSER MALE YOU ARE. i work in the legal system. men aren't being abused IT'S NOT HAPPENING.

  • @SpazzzDog when this recession happening, over 90% of the people who lost jobs were male.

    hospitals and emergency rooms IMMEDIATELY noticed an increase in number of women in children coming in with injuries. that's because males sit at home, feeling sorry for themselves, and beat up on people smaller than they are to feel better. this is documented. MEN ARE 5 INCHES TALLER AND 50 POUNDS HEAVIER.

    men don't get abused at 40%. your numbers are bullshit. stop lying. and go get a job.

  • @karlsmith00 There's no proof that husbands have sky rocketed in spousal abuse. But there's evidence that women have increased in committing domestic violence now that they have most of the burden in the family. They can't take the stress. Also, even feminists are acknowledging that women are becoming more violent in relationships now that they have more freedom. You just sound like a whinny fool trying to command me to believe something not even many feminists can convince themselves of anymore

  • it's not men who in most western nations are the perpetrators of domestic violence although it's close to 50/50 in some studies. you would think he'd know this. the notion that female literacy predicts economic growth is retarded: literacy in general predicts economic growth. somehow, reading makes you smarter.

    read this and see for yourself

  • WHAT A FUcK1NG A-HOLE, this male hating feminist wall street suck-up douche bag should be dragged by his limp shoulders in front of a firing squad along with Rockefeller's & the Rothschild's

    WTF is this shiat that women being able to read is a deciding factor in a nations prosperity, what a load of BULLSH1T!!! Another drone from Feminazi-U indoctrination camps.

    O, and if you are not a wage slave working to be further in debt, your life is worthless and you are a criminal.

  • @6evorev6 lol dont troll, its not cool.

  • @invallidusername

    To troll means you do not mean what you say in order to start a flame war, I meant every word of it

  • Thank you for sharing your thoughts on your personal dislocated pathetic life.

  • This economy is not based off brain power and never has it been based on brawn. These correlations are irrelevant female literacy and domestic violence are SYMPTOMATIC not the cause. And still have a much higher workforce participation rate.

  • Weird. I experience all of this - as a college educated female. What does that mean?

  • When you look at the current and continuous push from the power elite to govern with authoritarianism and the subversive methods they're using to reach that objective. Such as turning everything in a direction contrary to the natural order of things, is how you end up with used to be guys who now talk with a cock up their ass like this fag

    Oh. and all the other social, virtual assassinating faggots

  • Really good insight. Very well spoken.

  • you both are locked in a world of Ge-stell

    while trying to think ... you forget to think ...

    trolls everywhere

  • You clearly are not that smart if you missed the whole entire point of ObjectivistAesthetic's comment. You two could be thousands of miles away, yet had it not been for the applied intellect and imagination of a few, you wouldn't want to slap him silly because he made you feel stupid.

    Point remains: the predominance of manufacturing is fading and the rise of the creative class is real. Knowledge-based jobs are the new black. Intellectual debates are for hacks.

    Thanx!!!!!!

  • You know this guy is the type who rehearses hypothetical conversations while on the toilet. This video is a prime example of trying too hard.

  • It is nice to know that there is someone saying out loud, that people with U. degree's, are much better suited to jobs that dont require doing anything more than talking about not doing anything, but talking, about, not doing anything, but talking. (Q.) While I'm sitting & talking about how I'm so impressed with myself, & my large cranial muscle, who will manufacture the chair that squares my ass, who will construct the walls & roof that house me, who will pipe the water, wire the electric, etc.

  • Harvest the food I consume & ship it to Me, build the massive wind turbine that I dream up & haul it to it's destination, assemble the hybrid vehicle I dream up, cut my hair, make the clothes I wear, pave the roads I dream of driving, construct the lanes I fly on to my thinky think conventions to meet my thinky thinker friends? Oh who will perform these brawny tasks of menial labor, in my eutopia of thinky economics? UhOh, not the apes that I have shown utter contempt for, that want to thrash me

  • I'll tell you who will perform those brawny tasks--machines. You seem to be undermining the intellect. It's easy to use YouTube to dismiss intelligence without recognizing that you depend on the intelligence of others to have that platform.

  • And You, my un-objective friend, make my case for me, by assuming that I depend on anothers intellect, without knowing the the level of my intelligence. High intellect, does not automatically afford you arrogance. However, in the case of someone such as myself, I like to apply the addage, arrogance combined with ability is acceptable. Example: In that I am fully confident that I could crush you in a intellectual debate, I could just as easily slap you senseless. And that, fine sir,=Fun to be Me.

  • I grant that you are a witty writer and I respect that. I also like your adage (although you spelled it wrong)--my version being "those who walk can talk." I rightly assume you depend on the intellect of others because you are in fact, depending on the intellect of others by using the internet at all regardless of your own intelligence. Let's debate this particular issue: Who is the smarter person between the two of us? Answer: Me. There I win. "Swish!"

  • Adage schmadage, let's party! That was fun mental sparring with you (if by fun you mean mind numbing), and yes I mis-spell words when I'm engaged in an enthusiastic exchange of ideas (if by enthusiastic you mean excruciating), with such an adversary as yourself. And lastly, I had already claimed the moniker, smarter of the pair. Alas, in summation, I in fact win, & the only swishing sound you will be hearing, is the sound of you applying polish to my footwear with a brush. Have a wonderful day.

  • Oh, and by the way,,,, YOU WILL SUBMIT>

  • First off, thank you for your kind regards. Second, not only has it been a pleasure publicly humiliating you in our initial debate, but in your post-debate statements, I too enjoyed learning many valuable lessons. You may receive a Participant prize in the near future and, as an act of goodwill, I may polish your shoes assuming they arent in too bad shape.

  • @YouWillSubmit choad monger

  • Well put. I agree. To call this a knowledge economy is a joke.

  • You don't often see people talking about the things mentioned in this video but it's so true. I would give a bunch of examples with me and the people I know.

    I wonder what could solve such a problem. Maybe when unemployed, volunteering could replace work? Or maybe is it just that a culture shift needs to happen?

    I don't know but I'm glad it's being talked about.

  • @chalkies Men have put women on a pedestal from the dawn of time. The industrial revolution has meant great changes for both genders. We care so much more for women that we don't even make them define their terms of what they want now. Men have to define their terms because we yearn to make life easy for women. Women keep everything on their women's because they yearn to make life easy for themselves. Look how much women hate men who don't hang on their every desire.

  • What planet is this guy living on? This goes against forty years of social training: men and women are equal so it is OK for women to earn more. Men are disposable so it's OK for women to either not marry or to shed their husbands. Children are disposable so we can abort them either into a trash can or into day care. Our elderly are disposable so we can deposit them into nursing homes. Welfare could solve both the While man's guilt and the black man's poverty if ONLY there was more money.

  • He's not saying that women aren't equal. He saying due to the history of inequality of women globally, men have enjoyed a position of priviledge by which they have dominated key areas of life: social, political, economic & theological.

    Today, riding on the backs of women's, civil rights and human rights movement,s women are enjoying and taking advantage of thier new-found equality under the law and in society. To that end, men are experiencing dislocation at home and work. Men have to adapt!

  • Remember the term "Men" is an abstraction and the real discussion is about individuals.

  • Very few men have had any privilege. This is typical womens studies/feminist group think.

  • @F3dB3aR Women have also dominated in key areas of life throughout history. Today women are not taking advantage of new found equality they are taking advantage of new found privilege. No one talks about how men were more likely to die protecting women than women were protecting men all through out history. No one talks about how men did very hard and dangerous work so women could be safe at home all throughout history.

  • @F3dB3aR After years of leg-up programs and affirmative action women have been able to force the reallocation of wealth. Now that men are the clear loosers in the current economic downturn they are callously told to adapt, to suck it up. And how callous is it to refer to the scores of men in China as "surplus men" as if they aren't really human, they're just unneeded extras. Then he implies that they are a possible powder keg.

  • @F3dB3aR Really? History of inequality? "Men have enjoyed a position of privilege"? What do you call privilege? Is it the amount of responsibility a person has? So you are saying that Men have had more responsibility than women in history? New found equality? Let me get this straight, In a nutshell you are saying that men have lived the dream since the beginning of time, Feminism came along and saved women from the repression of men, and now men cannot handle women being equal?

  • @johnman1911 It is funny, well not funny haha but funny peculiar how deep the rabbit hole of misandry goes. If misandry was a CIA operation it would be the most successful operation of subterfuge in all of society. It would be studied for years by covert operations groups. It is in your face day in and day out. The reason it persists is because men's role in society is to be a provider and protector. We tell our daughters to watch out for boys and our son's to treat women with respect.

  • @F3dB3aR "He saying due to the history of inequality of women globally, men have enjoyed a position of priviledge by which they have dominated key areas of life" Life was much much harder in the past than it is today. For the most part I believe that women enjoyed being safe at home enjoying spending time with their children and relatives and neighbors all working together as friends, letting them go do the dangerous jobs, don't forget that even traveling away from home was dangerous.

  • @F3dB3aR I believe that back then as today having and raising children was a very something most women wanted to do in their lives. And in the past it was much more difficult than it is today. Also the work outside the home was much more difficult and dangerous. We picked one gender to stay safer at home spending time with the family and one gender to go out and risk life and limb in order to provide for the family. I am sure that women given a choice would have picked the former.

  • @F3dB3aR Women even today cannot handle being away from their children as much as men can. And being a provider was much more difficult in the past than it is today. It meant being away from the home for long periods of time. Men are evolutionarily equipped to take risks, women want security more, men are the expendable gender. Only when working outside the home and engaging in politics became safe enough did women want to do these things collectively.

  • @F3dB3aR Many of the things holding women back from voting and working outside the home in the past were women themselves. Only when they jobs and voting became less risky did women want to do them. Much of what "held women back" were other women who did not agree. Seeing women as the poor little victims of human history is the most degrading thing people do to women as a group. When women as a whole agreed that they wanted the vote they got it.
