=== Oppressed People Aren't Wealthy (01:46) ===

[00:00:00]  So this is my message to feminists.
[00:00:02]  I'm not going to bother nominating anyone else because I was a bit late doing this and they'll all already have been nominated.
[00:00:08]  But you're not being oppressed.
[00:00:10]  You're not under any kind of oppression.
[00:00:13]  In fact, you've probably gone to university and that's how we know you're not oppressed.
[00:00:16]  Oppressed people don't get educations.
[00:00:19]  If you've got some money in your bank, there you go.
[00:00:21]  You're not oppressed.
[00:00:22]  Oppressed people aren't wealthy.
[00:00:25]  Especially, let's be fair, a lot of you come from wealthy families.
[00:00:28]  So in fact, it looks like you're kind of compensating for the fact that you were born into privilege and now you need to kind of project that onto everyone else because, I mean, if they're not privileged and you are, on what grounds do you have to claim that you deserve something they don't?
[00:00:45]  And stop being so hateful.
[00:00:47]  You know, just stop it.
[00:00:48]  All this running around screaming at people that, you know, basically hate men, hashtag kill all men.
[00:00:54]  You know, no, men are to blame.
[00:00:55]  Men are this, men are that.
[00:00:56]  It's the patriarchy, the patriarchy, it's everywhere.
[00:00:59]  It just makes you look like paranoid conspiracy theorists.
[00:01:02]  Take some responsibility for your own choices in your own life.
[00:01:05]  You made them.
[00:01:06]  You chose to do gender studies.
[00:01:08]  You chose to get a shit job doing nothing, paying nothing, not contributing to society.
[00:01:14]  You can't set yourself up as some sort of secular priestly class.
[00:01:18]  We're here to enforce diversity.
[00:01:20]  No, no, no, no.
[00:01:21]  No, no, no.
[00:01:22]  That's not going to work.
[00:01:23]  It's not going to fly.
[00:01:24]  It's going to collapse.
[00:01:25]  People are going to hate you.
[00:01:26]  And then you're going to wonder why everyone hates you.
[00:01:28]  Because you've been so unbelievably unbearable to everyone else.
[00:01:33]  You cannot justify your own shitty actions on something someone else has done.
[00:01:40]  No one's going to buy it.
[00:01:42]  You have to take responsibility for yourself, for your life, and you have to get on with it.
