Why I'm a Feminist
00:08:11
|
|
| Why can't we talk? | |
| Because I'm a stupid fucking feminist. | |
| Well, I don't agree that you're stupid. | |
| I don't agree that you're stupid. | |
| That's a quote from you to Lacey Green, right? | |
| Right, okay. | |
| Right, if you can hold it up around the top here, because the receiver bit is at the bottom. | |
| The receiver bits at the bottom, and make sure that's facing your face. | |
| One, two. | |
| Yep. | |
| Why are you a feminist just out of interest? | |
| Because I don't think that men have the right to own women. | |
| Yeah, but they don't own women. | |
| In what way don't women have self-determination? | |
| I believe in equality between the sexes. | |
| Are they equal then? | |
| I believe that the patriarchy is extremely detrimental to both men and women. | |
| How do you prove patriarchy? | |
| And I think that. | |
| You see, this is why I don't want to debate you, because every word I say, you've got a little come back thing. | |
| Yeah, but everything you're saying is very loaded. | |
| You've got your training against me. | |
| I can't afford fucking debate lessons. | |
| Why have you had debate lessons? | |
| Oh, come on. | |
| Or at least a lot of practice. | |
| I just teach. | |
| Yes, but she's making very loaded statements. | |
| Yes, excuse me. | |
| Excuse me. | |
| Come on. | |
| I'm making loaded statements. | |
| Yes, you are. | |
| Okay. | |
| Yes, I can. | |
| Excuse me. | |
| Excuse me. | |
| Come on now. | |
| That's rude. | |
| Yes, but you're being very rude. | |
| And I don't appreciate that. | |
| I'm not attacking anyone. | |
| I'm calling you rude. | |
| Because you're being rude. | |
| Sorry, carry on. | |
| Okay, so this is from a video. | |
| Sure. | |
| I stand by. | |
| Okay. | |
| Excuse me. | |
| We're not talking to you at the moment. | |
| I'm sorry. | |
| We can talk afterwards if you'd like. | |
| You have argued that feminism was responsible for the rise in the numbers of men carrying out mass murders. | |
| Yes. | |
| Because the killers felt disenfranchised and out of options. | |
| So your point being it's feminism's fault. | |
| It's women's fault that men are murdering them. | |
| Well, no, hang on a second. | |
| Hang on a second. | |
| Hang on a second. | |
| Right, let's discuss this because it's important, right? | |
| Okay, no, I'm not sure. | |
| Hang on. | |
| I'm just reading the quotes that you made first. | |
| Oh, sorry, okay. | |
| Well, can we not talk about one at a time? | |
| Because I get the feeling it's different subjects. | |
| It's very much the same subject. | |
| Excuse me. | |
| This is what feminism has wrought. | |
| A generation of men who do not know what to do, who are being demonized for what they are, says Benjamin. | |
| Can we applaud that? | |
| Because I think that's correct. | |
| Yeah, see, we've got ladies in the crowd here who absolutely agree. | |
| Feminism is a way of oppressing men by women who are angry at men. | |
| I would argue that it's patriarchy is oppressing both men and women. | |
| But you can't prove that exists. | |
| Okay, so how long ago was marital rape criminalized? | |
| It was in the 90s, wasn't it? | |
| In the 1990s, yeah. | |
| What about bestiality? | |
| How long ago was that criminalised? | |
| Sorry? | |
| Bestiality. | |
| When was that criminalised? | |
| I actually don't look into that kind of thing day to day. | |
| It was actually fairly recently because it generally doesn't happen very often. | |
| And if something isn't really happening very often... | |
| It doesn't happen very often. | |
| No. | |
| No. | |
| Marital rape historically doesn't happen very often. | |
| Okay, wow. | |
| Well, okay, okay. | |
| I don't have facts and figures lined up in my pocket. | |
| I'm sorry? | |
| I don't have facts and figures lined up in my pocket. | |
| I was not intending to speak, but I just can't. | |
| Okay, so. | |
| Well, can I talk about the. | |
| You are responsible for perpetuating it. | |
| It here being the mass murder of women. | |
| By disenfranchising these poor fucking guys who don't have any options left. | |
| Don't you feel that you have a responsibility then? | |
| I have a responsibility to sleep with men that desire me so they don't feel angry. | |
| I didn't say that. | |
| That's kind of what I'm saying. | |
| Maybe not hate men for a second. | |
| Maybe not hating men. | |
| I really don't hate men. | |
| Yeah, but you seem to. | |
| I hate men that feel they have a right to influence my space and tell me what I should be. | |
| But who's that? | |
| It's happened, believe me. | |
| Well, who? | |
| Who's doing that? | |
| Like, I think women have self-determination in this country. | |
| I think they can do what they want. | |
| Yeah, in this country, it's not too bad. | |
| And a lot of people. | |
| I'll admit it's not too bad. | |
| So where's the patriarchy? | |
| Where are the issues? | |
| Which ones? | |
| Tell me about the issues. | |
| Sorry. | |
| I can't. | |
| Patriarchy in the Middle East. | |
| Yeah, I mean, that's pretty bad. | |
| That is like, yeah, it's worse. | |
| I'm not arguing that this is worse. | |
| So how is it that women in this country don't have self-determination? | |
| I'm really curious about that. | |
| I think they do. | |
| I think, like, the ladies around are just like, what are you talking about? | |
| Do what I want. | |
| And that's as it should be. | |
| Yeah, exactly. | |
| I wish my wife had stopped telling me what to bloody do. | |
| You know what I mean? | |
| I'm looking for self-determination for me, married men. | |
| I'm just kidding. | |
| The question you and all of your stupid fucking feminist cultists need to be asking is, why are these men, this is a quote from him. | |
| Yeah, it's fine. | |
| Carry on. | |
| The question you and all of your stupid fucking feminist cultists need to be asking is, why are these men becoming misogynists in the first place? | |
| Yes. | |
| What is this feminist-run society? | |
| Feminist-run society. | |
| We have feminists in our government. | |
| That is causing them to go insane. | |
| We have feminists in our government. | |
| Do you not realize this? | |
| Are there any MRAs in our government? | |
| I can name you a slew of feminists who are a sisterhood, according to Jess Phillips, a feminist in our government. | |
| I can't. | |
| I mean, maybe Philip Davies, is he an MRA? | |
| He probably is. | |
| He's one, one guy, compared to dozens of feminists. | |
| I mean, do you not think that there is an influence of feminism on our society? | |
| Is it not? | |
| Not at all. | |
| It's in every university. | |
| It's not enough. | |
| Every university has a feminist society. | |
| Do they have men's rights societies? | |
| I've looked at rape statistics in universities. | |
| Yes, they're very low. | |
| They're getting raped. | |
| They're very low. | |
| Women. | |
| They're very low. | |
| They're lower than the surrounding cities in which they're found. | |
| It's safer on a university campus for a woman than anywhere else. | |
| I think it fucking should be. | |
| There shouldn't be anything. | |
| Then what are you complaining about? | |
| What am I complaining about? | |
| If it says it should be. | |
| I'm complaining about being called a stupid fucking cultist feminist. | |
| But you don't seem to be able to prove patriarchy. | |
| Yeah, but you seem to be. | |
| I can't prove patriarchy. | |
| I can't, like, thin air. | |
| Can I go, look, here's the patriarchy? | |
| I can say that as a woman, I have felt unsafe. | |
| I have felt oppressed for femininity. | |
| For my masculinity. | |
| Really? | |
| Yes. | |
| By your support. | |
| And would you say that my support is not my supporters? | |
| I'm just a person. | |
| No, you're a feminist. | |
| People on a similar angle to me, maybe. | |
| But am I not allowed to feel this way? | |
| Is that all that? | |
| Are you not allowed to feel oppressed? | |
| I would argue that you're being oppressed by the patriarchy. | |
| You're being oppressed by the ideals that... | |
| I think I'm being oppressed by feminists. | |
| Yes, exactly. | |
| Look at the Middle East. | |
| They're bloody strong patriarchies over there. | |
| Are you saying that they're strong, like, in a good way? | |
| No, I'm thinking they're just strong. | |
| They're very powerful patriarchies. | |
| I mean, every woman in Saudi Arabia is head to toe. | |
| That's powerful. | |
| I don't like it. | |
| I think that's terrible. | |
| I think women should have self-determination. | |
| I think you should have the right to vote, live what you want, marry who you like, do what you want. | |
| And you do. | |
| You stop be respected if you look sexy. | |
| No, not at all. | |
| That's like the kind of shit I'm talking about. | |
| No, hang on, hang on, hang on. | |
| I don't think that women who dress in a particularly revealing way are very well respected. | |
| I think they're generally quite disrespected. | |
| Like these ladies here are very respectable and they're not dressed. | |
| You think that's better? | |
| What do you mean? | |
| If somebody dresses revealingly, they're suddenly less worthy of respect. | |
| I think that other women disrespect them. | |
| Really? | |
| Yes. | |
| I would call that ingrained misogyny. | |
| Yeah, I know you would because you're a feminist cultist. | |
| I think other women have a right to have an opinion on these things. | |
| This is the proudest day of my life, honestly. | |
| I've never been called a feminist cultist before. | |
| He said I was cackling earlier. | |
| You were. | |
| You were. | |
| You literally were. | |
| But the thing is, I really am curious about this because it seems that you deny the idea of female power. | |
| And I think that's really dangerous. | |
| Because I think women are very powerful. | |

Run By Women?
00:01:33
|
|
| And I think they need to check their privileges sometimes. | |
| And I think you're an example of that. | |
| You don't. | |
| We're currently run by. | |
| Theresa May is the current Prime Minister of Britain. | |
| Nicholas Sturgeon is the current First Minister of Scotland. | |
| And the head of the Welsh Assembly is also a woman, but I can't remember what her name is off the top of my head. | |
| And then Angela Merkel, people like this. | |
| All childless women. | |
| The world is being run by childless women. | |
| And is it going well? | |
| Do you think it's going well under the patriarchy? | |
| Run by women. | |
| I would deeply argue that it is run by women. | |
| I think that's a massive overstatement. | |
| I think the government is something like. | |
| Is it even approaching a third of women in government? | |
| It's over a third. | |
| It's over a third. | |
| The women are actually in charge. | |
| So the women are telling the men what to do. | |
| Is it going well? | |
| So you're saying that women should be at what you're saying. | |
| The men should be in charge and it would be going better. | |
| I don't think so. | |
| There are lots of male politicians who are terrible. | |
| I don't think either gender has a monopoly on bad politicians. | |
| But I also think that just because someone's a woman doesn't mean they're going to be a good politician. | |
| Theresa May, example A, right? | |
| Well, yeah, I would deeply agree with that statement. | |
| Same here. | |
| I don't think that being a woman makes you automatically good at anything. | |
| I also don't think being a man makes you automatically good at anything. | |
| I totally agree. | |
| I think you're completely correct. | |
| They're great at looking after babies. | |
| You heard it from him. | |
