Time Text
So I'm going to answer some of these questions from men that were so popular on Twitter.
I understand they're meant to be rhetorical, but it's so much funnier if you take them literally.
If you happen to go into a technical field, do your colleagues continuously ask if your wife taught you all you know?
Of course not.
My wife didn't go into a technical field, just like the woman asking this question probably didn't.
Have you ever had a woman clearly over 50 say they'd fuck you if you were alone when you were 15 and at lunch with your mum?
That's a strangely specific question, but um I was 13 and she was probably about 45.
Yes, believe it or not, there are old women who are leches as well.
Have you ever read a think piece by a respected female writer?
No.
Oh wait, there's more.
Explaining why and how men aren't funny.
No, men are funny.
Let's say you're married and your wife cheats on you once, just once.
Is that grounds for divorce?
Wow, this seems to be an actual question.
But yeah, keep your legs together you nasty skank.
How often do you have to tell yourself to lean in or stand up for your ideas?
Well, I've got to stand up for my ideas all the time.
What kind of entitlement is it to think that your ideas should go unchallenged?
Do females get pissed off when she asks for your number and you refuse to give it?
Yes, you would not believe how badly women deal with rejection.
I'm guessing it's because they're not rejected all that often.
Being anti-feminism from the facts is just like climate denial.
It's nonsense, not rational, just insecurity.
Well, that's not a question, but are you suggesting that the facts aren't really all that important?
Have you ever lied to a date about where you live or refused to ride home in the car because it didn't feel safe?
Oh yes, you don't know how many women are fucking bunny boilers.
Do you ever pretend to be a girl while gaming online so you don't get bombarded with, oh my god, it's a boy?
I don't think we play the same games love, but um, if I pretend to be a girl online, it's to get free stuff.
Does your doctor regularly ask what form of birth control you're using?
No, because for men there is only one form of birth control.
Kanbans.
In disagreements, do women tell you to calm down and not to be so emotional as a way of shutting down your argument?
No, it's generally the women who are getting hysterical and overly emotional.
Generally, I'm the one who's staying calm.
Is your wife okay with your short hair?
Yes.
Is your wife okay with your short hair?
Daily do you see here about the rape of men broadcast on television shows, news, post campaigns, movies?
Daily.
No, but I don't tend to kind of consume the sort of media that talks about rape a lot.
I don't go to Jezebel.com is what I'm saying.
Have you ever had your ass and genitals roughly fondled without your consent by a stranger in a crowd?
Not both at the same time.
Has anyone ever told you that you're too emotional or not emotional enough?
Yes.
Have you ever been asked, where do you think you're going dressed like that?
Yes, I have.
I prefer to wear jeans and t-shirts, so when I get invited to people's weddings, that question comes up a lot.
Do these pants make my butt look fab?
The answer of course is yes, even if they don't.
Tennis, anyone?
Uh yes.
I don't normally play tennis, but suddenly I'm feeling rather inclined.
If he has lunch with the boss, he's on his way up in the world.
If she has lunch with him, oh my, they're having an affair.
Not really a question, but um, most people aren't gay.
At Project's kickoff meeting, have you ever been asked if you're going to have kids and quit?
There's an awful lot of privilege here.
I've never really had jobs where I'm privileged enough to be at project kickoff meetings.
I've always had jobs where I'm a pleb.
And if I have kids, I simply don't have the option of quitting my job.
In fact, generally it means I'm going to have to do overtime.
I wonder if Questions for Men is going to be a part of This Week in Stupid by Sagan of a Cad.
Nope, it's going to be its own video entirely.
Have you ever had to rearrange your body chemistry for the sake of family planning?
No, I simply do not have that option.
How much do you spend a year in cosmetics, lingerie, magazines, creams, laser and waxing?
Not much, and neither should you.
Do you find topless images of men in newspapers being oogled at by women offensive and uncomfortable?
No, why would I?
If something makes you insecure, shouldn't you like go down to the gym or something, lard ass?
Do your female friends offer to walk you home as it's not safe out there in the dark?
Well, even though I'm more likely to suffer an assault than one of my female friends, they don't.
Honestly though, I don't really see why they would, because frankly, they punch like girls.
Have you ever thought I'm going to date an ugly girl so she's super grateful with me and treat me like gold?
No, because I'm not the kind of person who likes to manipulate others.
Have you ever been harassed and called a bitch for not wanting to have sex and saying no?
No, no, men tend to get called much worse things if they don't want to have sex.
Is it okay for a woman's career aspirations to be limited by the profound fact that she has a uterus?
It is not a profound fact that a woman has a uterus, but it really depends on whether she's planning on using it, because everyone has this limited resource called time.
And children require a lot of time, and careers also require a lot of time.
And since you only have a finite amount of time, it's really up to you with how you use it.
If capitalist patriarchy oppresses feminism, why is feminism most developed and mature in capitalist countries in the world?
That's a good question.
It's almost like the feminists haven't thought this through.
Without an appreciation of gender differences, a woman would just be a short, lumpy, weak-wristed man or no.
She'd also be weak-ankled.
Are you taught to hate each other and see each other as competition for everything?
Absolutely.
It's amazing men can cooperate on anything, let alone that they can cooperate better than women.
I have yet to figure out why all the hoes get all the attractive men.
Because they're easy, but they don't keep them.
Do you get told that you are responsible by what you wear, for a woman's eyes, what she looks at, and therefore her purity?
Women seem to have abandoned regard for their purity long ago.
It's not something that really comes up anymore.
Do you realise that Ladies Night was created for men to get women drunk and take advantage of us?
That's why drinks are cheap.
Oh shit, the women are onto us.
On dating sites, you see a lot of women specifying that they want an independent guy, or one that knows what he wants in life.
I assume you mean do you?
And the answer is no.
Often you see a lot of women asking for a prince under the delusion that they themselves are a princess.
I actually live in a monarchy, so there are a few princes around, but the ratio is literally millions to one.
Godspeed, fan maidens of dating sites.
Do you know why we're feminists?
Yes, self-interest.
Have you ever been told that women won't marry a fat man and even if you're not a trophy husband, would it kill you to look the part?
Bitch, getting married is really not my concern.
It's your concern.
Because you're the woman here and you are the one who wants the commitment.
I'm getting fat to try and scare you the fuck off.
Have you ever been given feedback at work that you just don't smile enough?
Yes, I have worked in customer service, although my manager was far less inclined to say it in such nice terms.
It was more like, why do you look like such a grumpy cunt?
Aren't you sick of racism, sexism against whites and males isn't real being used to justify extreme bigotry by feminists?
Why yes I am, in fact.
What an interesting and astute question.
Have you ever gone to the emergency room or a primary care provider and been told that you are just anxious?
No, but then I don't tend to go to emergency rooms unless there is a self-evident emergency.
Seriously, what the fuck is it about the remote control?
You watch shit TV.
Why is it that any man who stands up for women's rights is automatically the subject of gay bashing?
Look, being a faggot is not gay bashing.
I know loads of gay people that aren't faggots at all.
Have you ever had a great interview that you were 100% qualified for only to be asked out for dinner at the end?
No, no one offers to pay for my dinner.
Do you ever get told that you're too handsome for your job and then you're expected to take that as a compliment?
No, but if I was told that, I would take it as a compliment.
Do most business introductions include a comment about how attractive someone finds you?
No, but I don't carry the heavy burden of being an attractive person, Sarah.
If you'll allow me to quote from the Cyberpunk 2020 manual, if you want to decrease your attractiveness, a straight-edge razor cost 59 cents.
Do you ever have two women walk down the sidewalk next to you talking about you like you're not a thing, not a you?
Yeah, bitches exist and they talk about men as well as women.
Bastu um post na para incia si uma discussiao internacial sombre liva cantada na rua?
I don't know, I don't speak foreign.
Would you go back in time to rape Hitler?
Yes.
And finally, the majority of women on questions for men just want to whine.
