Why We Still Need Feminism
00:12:20

|
| Good lord, I've had enough of this ghastly, feel-good, inspirational music already. | |
| And we just don't know why they keep asking that. | |
| I mean, how many times do we have to explain? | |
| If you guys aren't feminists anymore, we don't have careers, and we want to keep our careers, because they make us feel good and they provide us with lots of money. | |
| So yes, you do still need feminism. | |
| Then why do you keep getting the answer wrong, hmm? | |
| Actions speak louder than words, still. | |
| Well, by any legal definition, they absolutely have. | |
| But I think the question you're actually asking is, have we achieved parity now? | |
| What relevance does that have? | |
| Why are you talking like women are some sort of childish subrace of humans who need protection? | |
| Women are not useless. | |
| They women do not need you to look out for them. | |
| They can take care of themselves, which was the whole point of the feminist movement, wasn't it? | |
| Women aren't babies, they're grown adults. | |
| They can be portrayed in any way they like, or any way someone else likes. | |
| It's not for you to decide how other people portray you. | |
| This is the very essence of parody. | |
| This is the very essence of a lot of dissident political action. | |
| My God, she's just cooked her own child. | |
| Oh, wait, it's only a turkey. | |
| Oh, so in fact, this actually isn't making women look evil or bad. | |
| It's actually making women look pretty damn appealing to men. | |
| And I tell you what, if you look at the marriage rates, men are well aware that this is bullshit. | |
| You did a search on stock photos for women undertaking beauty treatments, didn't you? | |
| If you didn't buy it, it wouldn't fucking be there. | |
| You have brought this on yourselves. | |
| I assume she refused the pile of totally unrelated cash she was paid for this. | |
| I knew it. | |
| So what we're saying is women can become MPs and cabinet ministers, and since Britain has had a female Prime Minister, we know they can become Prime Minister as well. | |
| There is literally no office in the land that is closed to them. | |
| Now, the problem we're having is a problem I've actually encountered in real life. | |
| I have asked female colleagues and co-workers and friends and family members you know what? | |
| You all keep saying there's not enough women in politics. | |
| Why don't you go into politics? | |
| And they always give me the same answer. | |
| I don't want to. | |
| That's the reason. | |
| You feminists are literally going to have to form a fucking Gestapo and go around to women's houses and press-gang them into politics against their will. | |
| My god, these jobs sound boring as shit. | |
| I can hardly believe they can find 38 people to become Lord Justices of Appeal. | |
| Okay, if that's true, then that is just a call for women to up their fucking game. | |
| Women, you suck, apparently, according to the National Gallery. | |
| Literally, you've only got 10 paintings in there, 2,300. | |
| You need to do better. | |
| Because at the end of the day, art is not something you can lower the barrier to entry for. | |
| You are either a great artist or you are not. | |
| You know, you are worthy of being in a gallery or you are not. | |
| Your vagina will not give you a pussy pass this time. | |
| That is an awfully specific thing to mention. | |
| so women need to up their choreography skills as well. | |
| I am surprised it's that high, given how little you're making it sound like women do. | |
| Only one in five. | |
| Those lazy bitches. | |
| We need to start oppressing them. | |
| Get them into the workplace. | |
| So I want them writing about four out of five of every front page so the men can sit at home or go down the pub, have a few beers. | |
| Fuck this. | |
| We need to do this oppression right. | |
| Well it's a good thing we created a Gestapo when we needed enough female MPs, because we can use that to round up some women and make them engineers now as well. | |
| How is this an example of oppression? | |
| I imagine that the Royal Society has never had a Japanese president either. | |
| Is it prejudiced against the Japanese? | |
| I imagine there are a lot of steps between undergraduate to professor. | |
| Now, if only 6% of women get to professor level, then that means that A, they are capable of it, but it also means that, I don't know, either they are subject to massive inherent bias within academia, so that the 6% who do become professors have probably slept their way there, or they're choosing not to do it. | |
| Well, given the feminization of academia, I think I know which one I would go for. | |
| So what percentage of the crappy films did they direct? | |
| If they experience sexual harassment at work, why don't they go to the police? | |
| Is it because they aren't actually experiencing sexual harassment by any rational definition, but they are experiencing it in the same way the PIV people would consider consensual sex to be rape? | |
| Over two women. | |
| What, do you mean three? | |
| And okay, that's fine. | |
| Let's petition Parliament. | |
| I want a law against former or current partners murdering their girlfriends. | |
| I am willing to march with you for that one. | |
| Well, if you don't think that we should, maybe we should create a law against it. | |
| I mean, every man is ready to know that he can just rape a bitch whenever he wants. | |
| So, I mean, I think this is... | |
| I mean, I think you guys are just going bonkers now. | |
| I mean, I think you guys are just going bonkers now. | |
| But if you just... | |
| If you don't want to sexually assaulting you, fine. | |
| We'll make a law about it, and then every man in Britain will know they're not allowed to rape or sexually assault, and they won't. | |
| That'll be the end of it. | |
| It will never happen again. | |
| You know there are only so many e-petitions I can create. | |
| We are going to be standing outside of Parliament all day at this rate. | |
| Was this not covered in the 400,000 sexual assaults a year? | |
| Do you really honestly want to make that fucking comparison, you fucking idiots? | |
| I mean, there is only so much I can take the piss out of before it becomes cruel. | |
| And at this point, I think I'm being cruel. | |
| I mean, you are literally saying that a woman is no smarter than a dog and receives less preferential treatment. | |
| As if she is not capable of phoning the police herself. | |
| As if she's not capable of walking out. | |
| As if she didn't choose the partner who is abusing her. | |
| You know what, right? | |
| And I know this sounds crazy, but a lot of women like bad boys. | |
| That's what they go for. | |
| They like stress. | |
| They like the arguments. | |
| They like the drama. | |
| I think it's crazy. | |
| I'm sure you think it's crazy. | |
| Maybe they're crazy. | |
| But that's what they do. | |
| But you know what? | |
| It's their choice. | |
| The reason the neighbours don't get involved is because they think she's the one who keeps going back to him. | |
| You know, he gives her a black eye and then she goes right back because she can't control the little tingles she gets when she thinks of how much of a bad boy he is. | |
| Well, fucking good for her. | |
| Have him. | |
| Go ahead. | |
| It's her fucking choice. | |
| The dog doesn't have a choice. | |
| The dog can't phone the police. | |
| The dog can't get out of the house. | |
| The dog can't do anything since it's a fucking dog. | |
| JESUS FUCKING CHRIST, WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE? | |
| FALSE FUCKING EQUIVALENCY, ALRIGHT? | |
| Domestic violence, as in your partner hitting you in the face, is less serious than cancer, war, malaria, or even a car accident. | |
| It is a lot less serious. | |
| These things kill people, and I'm sure that there are women who die from domestic violence, but it's not nearly as guaranteed as if when you get cancer, a war turning up, malaria, or you find yourself in a terrible car accident. | |
| If you think they're the same thing, then I'm guessing you haven't experienced any of the latter. | |
|
Individual Experiences Misunderstood
00:02:50
|
|
| And yet I can't help but notice you protest in the one place where feminism is least needed. | |
| The modern West. | |
| What? | |
| All of these were individual experiences, you fucking idiot! | |
| Are you saying that 400,000 women got together in a fucking stadium to be sexually assaulted or something? | |
| It wasn't a collective experience. | |
| They were all individual experiences that happened one at a time over a complete period of time. | |
| It wasn't just one a fucking occurrence! | |
| Sorry, did you mean the Everyday First World Problems Project? | |
| Such as men taking up too much space on the train, or I need feminism because a person didn't think I was going to be an engineer, even though you have already proven in this video that only one in ten engineers are a woman. | |
| Ah, right, that's important. | |
| Hmm, that is terrible. | |
| Hmm. | |
| That's terrible too. | |
| Japan has got a lot to answer for. | |
| Yeah. | |
| Get an abortion or resign. | |
| That's awful. | |
| Just awful. | |
| Yeah, no, that's terrible too. | |
| Awful. | |
| And that is genuinely worrying. | |
| I mean, it says a lot about our society as a whole, really. | |
| Again, just terrible. | |
| Well... | |
| Screamed. | |
| I don't believe you. | |
| I don't believe there are a bunch of oxygenarians standing around pressuring an old woman with sex. | |
| Yeah, that's... | |
| Oh, God. | |
| Probably was. | |
| No, no, sorry, no, no, no. | |
| Despite the fact that they are completely able to report it. | |
| Again, legally, no. | |
| Men definitely get the worst of it. | |
| No, the answer's still no. | |
| But again, not in the West, anyway. | |
| I don't know. | |
| You guys, carry on being as batchy insane as you like. | |
