  • This poem influences how I think heavily

  • Garbage

  • The truth has been spoken, enough said!

  • WOW! this is so amazing. most inspirational, eye opening one i've ever heard.

  • every boyfriend sitting in there was like "dude shut the fuck you making me look bad" No but seriously that was the truth right there

  • This slam stuff is racist and totally exclusionary. There are no conservative or Republican slam poets allowed. They are not allowed. In fact, they would probably get killed if they showed up. Slam poetry is for Nazis.

  • he instantly won my respect with his t-shirt, then the poem took it to another level

  • He is an escapist rationalising twit. He lets everyone off and hangs the blame on nameless faceless non-gender significant entities that he envisions as male. Women throughout history have been far more damaging than men on a global scale. Women are also far more vicious and coniving, there is a reason most nations employ female spies. It is the greatest deception in history... the belief that women are powerless and men are the destructive force. This is only true on an individual basis.

  • @blutsturmer Not really, no. Lol.

  • @FlingyRingy Really? What were you listening to? I caught the references of masculine nature assigned to al the forces he describes as having power or influence and then assign evil attributes to them. Never mind that it is these entities that made the clothes he is wearing and the cameras filming him and the computer he wrote this on. God which, I assume is a force for good in his world, he describes as a woman. Give another listen.

  • @blutsturmer Please provide examples and data to support your argument as I am interested in hearing what historical evidence you possess because maybe, just maybe, the history I have read and been taught via primary, secondary, and tertiary school (and post grad) are wrong.

  • @embrya26 You can do the research yourself. Look at Empresses and Csarina's throughout history. Elisabeth, Isabella, Katherine, Cleopatra, and in the modern context Margaret Thatcher's brutal treatment of the Argentine's over an island that the Argentine's have more of a right to. The spies employed by the Russians, the Nazi spy who seduced John Kennedy when he was a Leiutenant, the DDR, or the U.S. for that matter. The top anti-Al Qaeda CIA operative is a woman. Drop the misandry, if you can.

  • @blutsturmer How does asking you a question make me someone who dislikes/hates men? Anyway, women are not exempt from cruelty but statistically and historically speaking their influence, power and atrocities over and towards humanity have been modest when shown next to that of men. I chose to engage with you because I felt you might be intelligent and I don't think I'm wrong so in terms of the debate let's leave derision and condescension aside and rely on knowledge and facts.

  • @embrya26 I did not deride you or speak to you in a condescending tone. If you feel that way it is how you read it. If I felt you were inferior, I would not even engage you. Your comparisons, of course can make that case. However, the atrocities of women are only made minimal by the lack of major female leaders throughout history. When women have been in charge they were just as, if not more, brutal than men. The misandry is in your portrayal of men as the purveyors of all the worlds ills.

  • @blutsturmer I do apologize for my misinterpretation of your words. Tone and inflection are lost in posts such as these. Power and influence are what construct and solemnize (sometimes loudly but more often silently) the worlds ills and you cannot deny that both have been wielded most often by men. I don't make that statement to editorialize because it is steeped in fact. If the Zedongs and Dadas of the world had been women then I would reverse my position in a heart beat.

  • @embrya26 It is true that throughout most of history the worlds power structures have been held by men. This is simply because until the age of cultural enlightment (which I feel is a time from the 1980's on) the world has been a predominantly patriarchal society. With a few exceptions. To say that men have wielded this power any more or less brutally than women, I feel, is an unjust generalisation. There have been brutal as well as great leaders, male and female.

  • Wow. this is amazing...

  • OMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMG­....If only every man could comprehend this.....FANTASTIC. Now that's a man...

  • Every word he spoke was nothing but power. In truth

  • We need more of those.

    What a powerful idea.

  • All I can honestly say is WOW.

  • palestine

  • Misandry in our society=Getting kicked in the balls and made fun of. Big deal. Misogyny in our society= Women getting beaten to a pulp and raped. Idk dude but I don't really see how we're allowed to complain about how we men are the ones who need more respect....

  • " Men, take note, this is how you give love,

    This is how you receive hugs.

    Press flesh to flesh till breast crumple,

    Like emotional origamy. "

  • Have you ever noticed how almost nothing you do can make a random women happy? You hold open the door for one and you have a 50-50 chance of getting a dirty look that says "Do I look like I'm in a wheelchair you chauvinist prick?" Or when you don't open the door and then you hear them mutter "Chivalry is dead" under their breath. I'm going to wear sunglasses and a hold a cane next time I walk through a door as feminist insurance, "Sorry I am blind!"

  • he got laid fursure that night.

  • Well!

  • I love this. He was honest without being insulting or demeaning the value of his own sex. Profound.

  • Bird Dog: Men who sense when emotions are high and swoop in by commiserating with the "wounded'' member of the opposite sex for his own sexual or emotional gain. Sound Familiar?

  • Comment removed

  • And I certainly love when liberals get all worked up over something they cannot directly influence by using curse words and getting all emotional about the topic. Way to really sway people to listen to the point you are making by using these words. Try to get over your emotional feelings and look at the facts, about what is really happening. If the reigning government of Palestine's main goal wasn't to eradicate the Jews, maybe I could have some sympathy for human rights.

  • @angelfish420 You are ignorant my friend if you believe that the Palestinian people are violent and barbaric when It is their former leaders who really screwed them... Israel has down nothing but locked them into cages by colonizing there land... By randomly shouting at them in the streets of their cities. Im not saying that we arabs are a perfect people... but the Israelis have done more then their fair share of killing. You have Bullets and Steel given to you by Americans.

  • @angelfish420 We have stones taken from the land that should be just as much ours as it is yours...

  • @angelfish420 Don't act like conservatives don't curse, that is ridiculous. You certainly didn't look at facts when you made that statement. Who is all emotional again?

    I can guarantee that many liberals HAVE actually looked at the facts. You act as if you are so superior and coldly logical, but I bet if someone came to your town and told you to pack up and get out, you'd be pissed. I believe in Zionism, the Jews needed a place to call their own, but did the UN have to choose the Holy Land?

  • You know, I might actually care what you think if Israel was the only country to oust the Palestinians. But no one wants them, not Syria, not Israel, not Egypt. Your Christian-loving ass should go over and volunteer some time as I have if you keep spewing your ignorant filth. The Israelis have also lost their land. I do not have an IPod nor an Xbox, but I do know some Palestinians who need a home, maybe you have a spare room.

  • I have a hard time getting behind a man wearing a Palestine shirt telling the US our men have been taught to kill since the age of 5. What do you think suicide bombers are taught and when? Goats ride in the front of the truck in Palestine and women in the back. Rape is not a term that is used in the Middle East, it's consensual or asked for. I cannot stand behind this man nor any of you. ISRAEL FOREVER.

  • @angelfish420 " Israel Forever" LMAO. Israelites which are not the real Israelites but European converts, came into Palestine and stole their land, killed their people, ravaged their homes and threw them into hell. The question is what you do? What would you do if somebody was killing your people, raping your children, dropping bombs on your house, and all political reforms for your people were disbanded by representatives that were overthrown by money. You must not know history.

  • @angelfish420 I hate ignorant people like you, that knows nothing of fighting for your people. This goes all the way throughout history, and not just the middle east. Do you know how many years the Palestinian people protested to get their lands back, when all causes fail, you have no choice but to go out with a bang. Similar, to the Russian Revolution, and the French Revolution. Americans like you have no clue whats around you except the Ipod, Xbox, and the Zionist Rockefeller News you watch.

  • @angelfish420 BTW; I am Christian; and you know what I say, FUCK ISRAEL ZIONIST AND EVERYTHING THEY STAND FOR.

  • I actually didn't like this poem. It had good parts and I suppose an overall good message, but my main emotional response was that I do not need him to defend me from men and their corporations. I have a voice and a vote in this country now; he doesn't need to speak for me. Idk, maybe I am too young to feel that abused and cheated as a woman.

  • awesome

  • His t shirt is what caught me more than his poem Free Palestine! also great poet 5 stars!!!

  • aaaaawwww he understands us!

  • Awesome!!!

  • This was fantastic!

  • I almost shed a tear listening to him and as it almost came out I fought it and it was gone... I didn't realize just how true what he said at the start was until I was later reflecting on what I heard. As I reflected I thought back and realized this was a trained reflex when I did it I was alone there was no reason to mask how I felt except to hide the truth from myself. Respect to this man for overcoming that and speaking freely, Peace

  • I know that this comment is about to defeat the purpose of this man's wonderful poem but... you know he could have easily slept with almost ANY woman in that audience after that little speech. LOL

  • i blame these corporations whose images tell her they hate her

    AGH BRILLIANT

  • i love his shirt...FREE PALESTINE !!!!

  • @az3ar001 hahaha this is the second time i watched this clip and i just noticed his shirt FREE PALESTINE!!! WHOOP

  • Comment removed

  • damn i loved that shirt of his

  • This Video Has me in Awe, and Mark Gonzalez has some balls to speak in this way. He is an example of a real Man in my eyes.......Wow, you are a piece of Beautiful Art. Thank you, Vivian Felipe

  • he's just trying 2 get pussy.a lil 2 feminazi 4 me

  • @LilBlitz116 yahhh thats what i was thinking too. I appreciate what he says and hes got balls for saying it.....but the cynical side of me thinks maybe he's just another poet for pussy....

  • gay cunt

  • “Stop looking at the Muslim world for misogyny (hatred of woman) & start looking at N.Y, L.A, Madrid…”

    During the 1970's the U.S gov't forcibly sterilized 70% of the indigenous population telling them it was reversible

    TRUE words

  • Now that is a real man.

  • The overall meaning is beautiful. Every man, all over, should listen/watch and take heed. Such a good job...powerful.

  • wow.... blown AWAY! beautiful!!!!!

  • I love how everyone is so quick to point out any and all faults of the US that may or may not have happened. While simotaniously defending the same behavior in our enemies by way of culture and religion.

  • @csincali What are these such flaws?

  • @csincali I think when people do that, they're showing you the hypocrisy of it, rather than defend either side.

  • @romanisayev5005 Okay... Great Job! No one will care or hear you, if you demean them. Just figured an intellectual such as yourself would have known this already. Thanks for playing though!

  • @Laviedusurrealisme That was my point, the indifference to reality is the issue, but you certainly cared enough to answer.

  • LOVED IT

  • I respect this man. I wish more men think like he does.

    This my new favorite<3

  • @gummiebaerrs there are alot of guys that respect wemon maybe not as smart or smarter then this man give or take. he just put it in the perfect words

  • Did anyone else notice he called God a she? It's so subtle it's awesome.

  • @fireman9214 You're so right the feminist movement has done so much harm, now women can vote, or get jobs and an education, they're treated by the majority of society like actual human beings instead of objects! That was sarcasm if you couldn't tell. If you look at the brain of a man and a woman, the differences are so few it's incredible. Most of the perceived stark differences are pushed upon men and women by society. I want equality when it comes to respect, not ability.

  • this is why im trying to stop watching porn...

  • Comment removed

  • wackkkkkk

  • The words he speaks are just written and said with heart truth and more no one could do this in 2-4mins as he does

  • that was amazing, but i still will put myself over a woman anyday

  • @livelovelife517 why? because your dick is bigger than hers?

  • @AnimalJam At least her balls are bigger than yours. They're just higher up.

  • @AnimalJam sorry im late with the reply, but that has nothing to do with anything i was trying to get at. All im saying is that everyone has thier place in this world, and women's place just so happens to be under men. No offense I love women with all my heart im just keeping it real with you, i cant understand women sometimes they hate men that lie, but get mad with the truth is spoken. go figure

  • @livelovelife517

    y would u put yaself ova a woman????

  • @carmenhagewood you wouldn't understand if I tried explainig myself to you, but don't ask the question like you have no possible idea what the answer is. It's the law of nature men are dominent and women are here to compliment and honor our greatness. sorry you had to hear it, but sometime or another you'll have to hear the truth. so thank me for ceasing the anticipation

  • @livelovelife517 wow ppl actually think like this...hilarous okay opinion noted

  • Amen.

  • Amazing!

  • WOW!!!!!!!!!! :)

  • lol....i laugh..because he has a point...but women still have no right. to let any thing somebody said change there out look on life.

  • WOWWOOOO THIS TOUCHED ME AND I AM A YOUNG man it almost made me cry lol.

  • 2:41 She's on crack

  • "... and i put my arm on her shoulder and tell her how grateful i am to god that SHE created her."

    :)

  • @imaimaimabee I see you are a full blown feminist!! as hard as you want to rewrite what the truth is, God is and was and will always be identified as "Father" not Mother..I know you are entitled to your own opinion. Just be careful as to how much you invest "your" feelings" into what you want to be truthful in your own eyes. be very careful because that same God you refer to as the female gender\role. some day you'll stand before God and give an account for the disrespect you so deeply harbor..

  • @omni101 Why does it always come to threats when it comes to God and proving a point? Your God is not everybody elses god. Your using God to put someone in their place,telling them to be careful. That is not the kind of god believe in.and who are you to speak of disrespect? you just disrespected your own God by laying judgement onto another. tsk tsk.That is a sin! i'm glad to know enough about your god, to NOT believe in him. I believe in love. Love is neither male or female. and god is Love

  • the difference between sexes is the result of social expectations, in this sense men are guilty. but guiltier are the women who readily bow to them and don't rise above; like the rare exceptions.

  • you don't have to be a woman to be a feminist

  • @rozytruelove ha, no you don't. But you do have to be insane if you subscribe to contemporary feminism as a male.

  • @mtb416 lol, exactly but you still have sensitive guys running around here sharing thier feelings and what not like freaking girl.. I dont get it but it's whatever i don't discriminate or judge

  • @livelovelife517 "sharing their feelings and what not like freaking girl" "I don't discriminate or judge" These two excerpts from your comment don't go together, its like you stated an oxymoron.

  • @FearlessMongoose I think you need to look up the correct definition of a oxymoron, because your rebudal made no sense man

  • man this is so true

  • I understand about giving aid to countries who support women's rights. But we can't support everybody. Where will we get the money from? Tax our people more? Americans freak out if their taxes are raised even the most miniscule of amounts. Leave it to the crazy libs to demand aid to every single person who needs it. We'd love to help you all but sorry, like all our parents told us, money doesn't grow on trees.

  • "Look everyone" I blame the white man for everything that is wrong in the world and for my homosexuality"

  • @rikkko and u came from a slut /hoe

  • haha the woman at 2:42 is going 'WOW'

  • It was awesome until the bitch, slut, dike part. Don't blame men for your faults women.

  • Bato? What are you talking about? I say vato and varrio, that's just me.

  • damn chills...everytime.

  • WHAT? Damn!

  • This vato spoke the truth. Seems like a lot of peoples can't handle that.......

  • @champeens it's bato by the way.

  • SOLID!!!

  • We forcefully sterilized 50% of American Indians????? Has anyone called him out on this bullshit yet?

  • Comment removed

  • @bryankelly Not bullshit whatsoever, in the 60's and 70's The US took part in a program of sterilizing native american women with US tax money , look it up

  • @kanst22 and also abortion is the number one killer of black people today.

  • He's not even def.

  • "press flesh to flesh till brest crumble ...like emotional oragami"

  • I like that he can incite such camaraderie in those that understand, and cause such an uncomfortable feeling simultaneously. That's the very essence of a very 'real' poem.

    Also, I like the last 2 seconds.

  • mo_warriorhouse@yahoo.com

  • @cjoiner87 thats a good thing lol

  • deep...brought tears to my eyes

  • preach brother

  • Beautiful. dang

  • This dude lost me as soon as I saw the t-shirt.

  • @piejrnj He got me As soon as I saw the T-shirt.

  • @Death2Munchkins i dont get it ?

  • @Spiid1000

    his T-shirt is one of the PSC T-shirt: Palestine solidarity Committee. It's a part of a campaign to help Palestine.

  • @Death2Munchkins what does his shirt mean? i mean is there a deaper meaning then how to pronounce it?

  • @Death2Munchkins WORD !!

  • @hound4680 why do you say that bro?

  • Tell em...

  • This dumptruck.....buy him a plane ticket and roll him up ...

  • i got to see him perform last year, it was amazing...i was speechless.

  • What if you don't fear intimacy but would still look death in the eye and say bring it on mother f#&%er...does that mean you're a real man?

  • what if there really was a war on men who disrespected women wow. i wonder if a movie could be made about that

  • woww

  • DAMN get em

  • he pulls the god card right at the end, what a terrible contradiction

  • this guy got laid as soon as he left the stage

  • Brilliant. Fucking brilliant. Thank you thank you thank you Mark Gonzales. You are a hero in my eyes - a hero and a prophet. I hope this goes viral - I will try to help do that.... wow. wow. wow.

  • Right on Mark! Droppin knowledge. I went to college with this man and its good to see he used his mind. And knowing what i know of him he's not talking about all men. More or less the "man."

  • As the Mexicans say "mas puto". It is not that I think this poet is gay, he probably is not. However his groveling at the feet of womankind and slander of his own gender is sicking. He is attacking men to make women feel better and it is pathetic. Have men oppressed women in the past? Yes and it was wrong and horrible. Have men done things to address these wrongs? Yes and with everyday more and more women are entering positions of power and wealth.

  • @Plato86 And yet, women are still oppressed, abused, beaten and raped in more ways than physical or sexual. It's a common truth, no matter how much we hate to hear it. It's still an issue that's going on, it has NOT disappeared and we cannot ignore that.

  • Have things improved for women in the West or have they become worst? What oppression do women still face in the West? Again you can dwell on lingering problems and flagellate yourself if it make's you feel better. I much rather focus on what men are doing to address these problems and what we have historically done right.

  • @Diablos97 no we can not ignore it, but this is not the only problem facing our society. a large portion of Earth's population goes without food and clean drinking water. hate is not racist and hate is not sexist. i am entirely tired of society blaming one nation or one gender or one race. look at the physiology of a man and a woman, they were created for very different tasks. there is a reason why woman was created with the womb.

  • @Diablos97 contrary, in our modern society we support woman taking on the role and the responsibilities of what 100 years ago was the work of men. but we still look down upon and sometimes do not let men take the responsibilities and the roles of woman. how often do you see a working wife and a stay at husband A.K.A a househusband? it is very rare. not only are woman still being objectified but so are men.

  • I am so in love with this.
