1,083 women came out of the kitchen to dislike this video

Isn't that the place where all feminists go?

Women can't take a logical argument either. Always feelings of being insulted, blablabla

[NachoLuchador1986]

Whenever I'm hanging out with my friends and a girl says something "funny" its usually just something shocking or gross, or in fact it isn't funny and the guys give her a pity laugh so she doesn't feel like an idiot.

Harris will be be better in 2 decades time.

He is also fitter & works hard at staying mentally & physically fit(I only create a dualism between mind & body here for convenience of argument & nto because I actually believe it), which means he's got a good shot of living a lot longer than Hitch.

[adi2777]

That's because he ONLY picked point of views that he had researched in great detail, to argue in public!!!!

I completely endorse Mr.Hitchens here.

Women are genetic celebrities, men are genetic groupies. We need to & feel the need to, prove ourselves to women a LOT MORE, than the reverse case.

And hence, it becomes important to not go overboard with political correctness & take on holy cows if there is evidence against them.

Clinton, the pacifist left, female comedy, nothing shall be spare!

why would you spoil a nice Hitch video with your misogynistic stab at a cheap joke?

[ThorinSHR]

It's funny, because Silverman, Fey, and Poehler are terribly unfunny.

[drjrich222]

Yes, you're right. So thankfully he was also endowed with a conscience. It's precisely that combination that will make him a folk hero for the ages.

"... it made me want to write a sequel called 'How some women apparently can't even read".... haha brilliant.

He was a great iconoclast, and a very much needed one. His destruction of the saintly picture of Mother Theresa by exposing her as the narcissistic superstitous thief and evil person she really was, was at once couregeous and a deed to civil secular society.

I wished he went after radical feminism with the same vigor as he went after religion or other narcissistic crap. But i guess the time was not right then, so somebody else has to do it.

[eizieizz]

I think he hold the same position to narcissist feminism as he did to the uncomfortable fact of global warming, he ignored it in public.

In addition to being an admirer of Orwell he was also a great self publicist he said things only if they would bring him more good PR than trouble. So you never heard him criticize his fellow americans for their energy expenditure, because he wouldn't have got any admiration for it. So i think he would not dare to call feminism out, because they are too powerfl
