The Boy Effect

This is the male equivalent of the Girl Effect. I'm not trying to belittle the Girl Effect here. (In reality I'm belittling privileged male teenagers, such as myself).

If you haven't seen the Girl Effect then none of this will make sense.

This is only a joke, I fully support the actual girl effect, so please don't post comments like "Omg why did you make fun of such a serious topic".

I'll also remove any stupid sexist commenters who erroneously believe that I support their views. Maybe I should make that clearer: I don't support sexist dipshits who think woman should 'stay in the kitchen'.

******************

Also, go check out the girl effect website:

I made it on Adobe Flash CS3.
The Music is from the original Girl Effect, I don't know what it is, sorry.

******************

This video is very old! It's not very high quality and it could be improved drastically, I realise that. Oh well.

And if you think this is a waste of ability and time, check out my other, totally unrelated but awesome, video to do with origami.

This video is totally sexist against boys. Let me remind you of the fact that in over one third of all countries in the world girls significantly outnumber boys in secondary education and the majority of university students worldwide are female; and they don't have tons of charities like the Nike foundation caring for their well-being. So they are clearly disadvantaged and marginalized and you make fun of them. Shame on you!

[alexfropple]

@bogi1igob Where's your evidence for this? Sure, that might be the case in developed countries, but I think the female-specific problems resulting from cultural roots and societal expectations are far more numerous.

Forgetting that though: yes, it's sexist against boys, that's the point. It's not trying to marginalize or trivialize any disadvantaged youth at all. It's trying to make fun of the advantaged, stereotypical guys in developed countries such as myself, and with whom I have experience.

[bogi1igob]

@alexfropple And you should know that in the young males in the advantaged world may be privileged in comparison with third world countries, but not in comparison with their female counterparts. For example in Sweden the ratio at the tertiary level is 1.59 (that means 1.59 female students for every male one). And you are making fun of them and spread misandry!

[alexfropple]

@bogi1igob So I'm not even allowed to make fun of myself anymore? Suddenly the guys are the victims? Nonsense. As if you're display of statistics about female:male ratio in tertiary education has anything to do with this. Because university numbers alone prove beyond doubt that women have superior positions in society over men, that men worldwide are victims of a historic trend of discrimination and objectification?

[alexfropple]

@bogi1igob And I understand that you're trying to promote equality, but this pedantic finger-pointing is just pointless. If you're going to try and find faults with every single little thing that could even be slightly politically incorrect, why don't you examine your own opinions first, even the subconscious ones. I'm sure you'll find hypocrisy in there somewhere.

@snowfreezie This video is a joke, a parody. And it is true that girls outnumber boys greatly. I am female and am not offended by this at all and I don't think it was meant in an offensive way though I'll review the comment after I finish typing. This is a joke and I think you've totally discouraged a person who may have provided the world with entertainment as go's for the rest of the defensive comments. I don't think any of you are realizing this is not to be taken seriously! ciao

uhhhhhhhhh wait a second i just read all the comments and i almost cried about what you said 'girls singificanly out number boys"well fine i would have traded being out numbered bye boys than have the girls being poor SHUT UP THIS VIDEO IS JUST PLAN MEAN w.w.j.d

[jjbenevolence]

I just want to let you know Mr. Creator that i enjoyed your video. A lot of people are hating on you for no good reason. It reminds me of the spoof people made on that Dove Beauty Campaign. I think it's funny, and he's just making fun of boys. To other people's comments: Totally sexist against boys? Heard of satire? Girls play videogames too? Irrelevant. So shut up and go help the world because arguing with this guy who made a video on youtube doesn't make you a good person at all.

[PowerTheOf]

Uhm. So, I don't really get it. @alexfropple.......Explain? Because, no, seriously: My comp. screen is too small.

[bogi1igob]

@alexfropple The evidence can be found at the worldbank-website (indicator "Ratio of female to male secondary enrollment (%)" (there is a tertiary indicator as well)) (Yes, it includes "developed" countries like West Bank and Gaza or Nicaragua or Bangladesh or Lesotho or Lebanon -- in fact, the world bank is responsible for the situation in Bangladesh, because they financed a stipend programme for girls that resulted in this unequal outcome.)
