Aziz Ansari Doesn't Pick Up On "Non-Verbal Cues" and Gets Treated Like A Rapist

[Mermaid]

I think we had some good discussion in this thread and also in that one.

Here is my assessment of that documentary:

I am watching this documentary now.
It starts out with some fallacies that cause its credibility to suffer for me right off the bat. I don't know if I will get through the whole thing.

So far, these are some statements in this documentary about our culture and about feminism that I take exception to:

Culturally, men are viewed as disposable because they fight more commonly in combat, and they tend to take riskier jobs.
Feminists think men make more money so they will have the power over women.
Men are commonly falsely accused of sexual assault.
Women commonly want to be "taken" by strangers, without consent.
Statistics about historical war deaths....Most are men. derp.
Women have access to everything men have access to.
Men do what it takes to maintain this society and the burden is on men.
Feminists claim men make the rules at the expense of women.
Women are not oppressed, it's hateful and wrong to claim this.
Women claim that domestic violence and sexual assault is only committed by men against women.

I agree there are cultural gender issues that should be recognized. Women and children first, alimony, men registering for Selective Services. I think feminists agree with all of that as well. That is kind of the point.

Sorry. This documentary is a steaming pile of feces.

It is possible to be insulting and totally fighty without swearing. Just sayin.’

But swearing feels so fucking good.
