I consider myself a feminist (though I'm a boy) and I largely agree with you. To me, feminism is about wanting equal rights for men and women, not female superiority. And because you want to level out this inequality, that makes you a feminist too (as much as you claim to hate feminism).

  @Dozadog Homosexuality has been observed in around 1500 species of animal. Homophobia is the unnatural thing.

  Look up "Homosexual behaviour in animals" on Wikipedia for more info.

Well said dude. Disgusting though the video may be, what you get up to in your private life has nothing to do with what you post on YouTube. It wouldn't even bother me if I knew you in real life.

Stay strong my friend.

@smige2 Do you use Firefox? If not, I'd recommend downloading it. Then google "firefox adblocker" and install it.

I haven't seen an advertisement in quite some time. YouTube ads, annoying banners/panels on websites... They're things of the past for me.

  ... simultaneously being bombarded with extreme activity. We are immobilised, but at the same time ?part of a cinematic event?. So I would say that nightmare is not only one of the possible (?) and themes of film, but that the formal composition of film is itself something nightmarish.

  @revistalugones In two clips, Karma Police and Rabbit in your Headlights, we have two similar but not identical situations.
