[Truththinker77]

What a fucking idiot. Of course he does not work in the environment of the common man.It's not that we are sexist!! It's just these fucking women are literally trying to dominate us an down talk us for everything because of what they see in tv you fucking mangina. You make me want to puke.

Brilliant.

The vision of masculinity that we give to our men and boys is so limiting and sad. You can't fit a whole complex person into the a Barbie doll but you can't fit one into a G.I. Joe doll either.

Anyone living in the real world should realize that hollywood has an agenda. There may or may not be a conspiring effort going on behind the scenes to manipulate the minds of the masses toward social and political ends. Making money however is at the very least 2nd on the agenda. Any seeming effort to "honestly depict" anyone is a token effort at best.

If you want more truth and honesty the best approach regarding television is to turn the damn thing off.

just take all the (men) and (wommen) in the video and switch them... what its the same thing !? ... just sayin :)

Then tell these damn stories, you can't just tell people what should be done, then complain when nobody does it, if it's important to you, then get off your ass and do it, and if it strikes a chord, then hell, it wont be long before others follow suit.

@pottoco If you google this guy'sbiography, you'll see pretty quickly that he hasn't justbeen "sitting on his ass" he's written books, made films and i speaking to people about what he believes in. Why don't you gomake a film if you also feel it's important?

[pottoco]

@pottoco I'm working on a feature of something that's important to me, and I'd hope he's doing the same; as someone in the arts, I don't really respond to talk, but rather, someone who does. Now, if he has shot film, and I had the opportunity to see it, or if he had written a book, that I ended up reading, and had responded to it on a personal level, then I'd acknowledge that, however, whereas everyone has an opinion, I'd just rather personally, to be approached with it more creatively.

[pottoco]

I'm making an argument where there isn't one, and I am sorry for that, however, I'm just tried of people talking about why everything is crap, and wrong, and how horrible, and such, when in truth, I believe it would be a lot more powerful to actually create what it is that we believe the world would benefit from.

[inzhuna]

@pottoco He IS doing something! He is talking about this, opening up a conversation, making people think!

[pottoco]

@inzhuna One person doing is worth a thousand people talking.

@pottoco Ideologies need to have appropriate support to affect change. They cannot gain this support if people do not realize that a problem exists in the first place. Dr Katz is working, actively, to make people recognize the problem by writing books, giving interviews, and creating movies. Stop trying to fight him- he is on our side.
